Escape after crossing

Leng Chenming looked in the direction of her finger, then looked at the river with the telescope, secretly marveling at how magical the telescope was that allowed him to see so clearly.

However, when he saw the scene in the river, his originally relaxed expression instantly turned solemn.

"It seems to be some kind of carefully designed trap. We must be careful." He warned in a serious tone.

"So that's why. No wonder there's no one guarding both sides of the river bank. If we hadn't carefully observed this hidden danger, we would have been caught off guard if we had rashly gone into the river." Jiang Ziluo said with lingering fear.

The two looked at each other, and both understood the danger of the situation they were in. They carefully avoided the vortex, their steps light and steady, as if they were afraid of causing any unnecessary noise.

After some searching, they finally found a relatively safe location. Jiang Ziluo stood still, looking at the river flowing in front of him, frowned, and asked with some concern: "Do you know how deep the water is in this river?"

Leng Chenming carefully observed the flow of the river and then replied, "If it rains a lot, the river water will rise. Normally, the depth of the center of the river is only about two meters."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziluo breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with some concern: "So, can both of you swim?"

At this time, Xuan San, who was standing by, showed a puzzled look and asked in confusion: "Master Jiang, what do you mean by 'swimming'?"

Jiang Ziluo then realized that she had spoken too quickly and used a modern word. She quickly explained, "Oh, sorry, I used the wrong word just now. Swimming actually means swimming and floating in water."

Now, the two finally understood what he meant. However, Leng Chenming seemed dissatisfied with the answer, and he continued to ask: "Why did you use the word 'swimming' just now? Where did you get this term from? Is it a term unique to your hometown?"

Faced with Leng Chenming's question, Jiang Ziluo was suddenly in a dilemma. If he admitted that this was the unique name of his hometown, then once others heard it, especially those soldiers from the northern military camp, it would be easy to be exposed; but if he denied it, how should he explain it?

Jiang Ziluo's mind flashed through various possible answers, but none of them seemed perfect. She became a little nervous, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"I called it that myself. I think it sounds better. Um... let's cross the river quickly!"

Jiang Ziluo was not sure whether the master and servant really believed her words, so she quickly changed the subject. Leng Chenming saw all this and couldn't help laughing in his heart, but he didn't choose to continue asking.

The three knew that this crossing was full of dangers, so they were extremely vigilant and cautious with every step they took. They stepped into the water carefully, trying their best to maintain their balance.

The river water flowed slowly under their feet, making a subtle sound, as if to warn them not to take it lightly. They stared at the front with full concentration, while paying close attention to the movements around them.

Jiang Ziluo walked in front, holding a wooden stick in her hand, testing the depth of the water ahead. Her steps were light and steady, trying her best to avoid making too much noise.

Leng Chenming followed closely behind, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, constantly scanning the surroundings, not missing any abnormalities. Xuan San was the last, nervously watching the backs of the two people in front, ready to respond to any emergency at any time.

The whole scene was so quiet that only the sound of the water and their gentle breathing could be heard. The atmosphere was heavy and depressing. However, they knew that they could not relax at all and had to reach the other side safely as soon as possible.

In this process, they not only need to rely on each other's tacit understanding and cooperation, but also need firm will and courage to overcome their inner fears.

After getting ashore, the three of them didn't even have time to care about the fact that they were soaked, and they hurriedly began to look for clues of food and fodder on the other side.

Hard work pays off, and before long, they discovered some suspicious phenomena - there were not only obvious wheel marks on the ground, but also scattered food and grass debris.

"It seems we have found the right place." Jiang Ziluo said, unable to hide his excitement.

So they followed these vague traces and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain. To their surprise, they found that the coveted food and grass were hidden in a very hidden cave in the mountain.

"That's great! God helps those who work hard, we finally found them." A hint of joy that was hard to conceal flashed in Leng Chenming's eyes.

However, they did not relax their vigilance because they still didn't know how many enemies were hiding nearby.

In addition, the opponent has been in a state of recuperation, and his strength should not be underestimated. Therefore, we must be careful and cautious, and must not take it lightly.

But it was still early, and the food and grass were stored so secretly, it was difficult for them to act rashly in broad daylight. So Jiang Ziluo discussed with Leng Chenming:

"In my opinion, we might as well find a safe place to rest for a while. The situation is critical now. If we are not careful, we may be discovered by the enemy, and we may not be able to escape unscathed.

Besides, your bodies are already extremely exhausted. If you don't take care of yourself, you may not be able to cope with the next challenge. Wait until night falls, when the moon is dark and the wind is strong."

Leng Chenming certainly understood clearly that the method proposed by Jiang Ziluo was indeed excellent, but what he was worried about in his heart was that once the enemy had sufficient rest and recovery, they would inevitably launch a fierce offensive again.

Although before leaving, he had made detailed arrangements to his deputy general and arranged for someone to convey important information to Xuanyi.

Initially, he had expected to return to the camp quickly, but things developed beyond his expectations and the delay was so long.

However, there is no other choice at this moment. It would be wise to follow Jiang Ziluo's advice, take a short rest and adjust one's own condition.

Fortunately, the mountain was big enough and there were many caves. They found an inconspicuous little cave. This cave was very narrow and could only accommodate four or five people.

The cave was not only small but also very limited in depth, so they were unable to light a fire in the cave due to the conditions.

Fortunately, it was hot weather, so it was cool and pleasant to stay in the cave. The three of them ate a little food at dawn to fill their stomachs, but most of the day had passed, and they were all feeling extremely hungry.

It is not realistic to catch wild animals for food now, because no one expected to be delayed for such a long time when they went out, and no one brought any dry food. However, Jiang Ziluo is not an ordinary person!

Before this, Jiang Ziluo had been concerned about this situation, so she stocked up some food in the space in advance. In addition, the space also stored modern food she prepared.

When Leng Chenming and his servant saw Jiang Ziluo take out a few cakes from somewhere, their cognition was refreshed again.
