Chapter 173 Entering the Mountain

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Xiao Cha, do you know how to get to Daxing'anling?"

Chagatai nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I'm very familiar with that road!"

Jiang Li said: "Okay, then be our guide for once. If you perform well, your sentence can be reduced."

Xie Changan said sinisterly, "If you dare to do anything weird, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Chagatai cried bitterly, "I dare not! I will certainly forgive my sins!"

Jiang Li also ordered him to draw a topographic map of Mongolia and the locations of various tribes.

Chagatai dared not disobey and had to paint seriously.

His drawing skills are poor and only the outline can be seen.

Xie Changan asked Yin Er to interrogate the leader of the horse thieves again, and treated him with the same method used by the Jinyiwei.

After subduing the leader of the horse bandits, let him draw a map.

Jiang Li compared the two maps one by one, and then based on their testimonies, he made annotations on the two crude maps one by one.

"Brother Chang'an, send someone to deliver those horse bandits and this map to the general of Datong Town, and have him present it to the prince of Zhenguo."

The family of the Duke of Zhenguo was stationed at the border all year round, governing the "nine important border towns" to prevent nomadic peoples such as the Mongols and Jurchens from entering the border to plunder.

The so-called "nine important border towns" refer to the nine major military towns including Liaodong Town, Jizhou Town, Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, and Sanguan Town.

After the Duke of Zhenguo returned to Beijing to recuperate due to old age, his eldest son Zhang Yanping succeeded him and was stationed in Datong Prefecture, in charge of nine important border towns.

Jiang Li planned to hand over this "semi-finished product" to the Prince of Zhenguo, and then add the landforms she had explored after she returned from Mongolia.

When Jiang Rong, the general of Datong, heard that the commander of the Jinyiwei and Marquis Jing'an had actually arrived, he hurried over to pay his respects.

Xie Chang'an refused Jiang Rong's request to meet him on the grounds that Marquis Jing'an was on a secret mission and should not show up in public, and asked Jiang Rong to process the exit documents for them.

Their targets are too obvious. If the news leaks out, I'm afraid this trip to Mongolia will not go smoothly.

The next day, Xie Chang'an and his party changed into the clothes of border residents, disguised themselves as fur traders, took Chagatai hostage in the middle of the team, followed other caravans, passed the pass, and galloped towards the Greater Khingan Range.

The little eagle flew high in the sky, monitoring the situation on the ground at all times to prevent Chagatai from cheating and leading them to the tribal territory.

Jiang Li's request to Chagatai was to bypass the locations of various tribes and reach Greater Khingan Range as soon as possible.

Although Chagatai also thought about leading them to the Borjigin tribe, if he could capture this female marquis of the Great Chu and present her to the Khan, it would be such a great achievement!

How could he hide his evil intentions from Xie Changan's eyes?

Whenever his eyes rolled around, Xie Changan would order Yin Er to treat him well.

After being beaten three times a day, Chagatai was completely subdued and never dared to cause any trouble again.

Xiaohong is a Ferghana horse. Xie Changan's mount is Zhuifeng, an extremely majestic Dayuan horse. It is also the mount of Yin's second-class personal guards and a well-trained Mongolian horse in the army.

As a result, the group marched very quickly, and in less than ten days, they could see continuous mountains in the distance.

"Xiao Cha, is that the Greater Khingan Range ahead?" Jiang Li asked.

Chagatai saw that this seemingly delicate female marquis had marched for ten consecutive days without complaining or feeling tired, and was still full of energy and energy. He knew that she must also be a martial artist, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

Seeing her asking, he quickly said respectfully: "My Lord, it is the Greater Khingan Range."

Xie Changan asked: "Do you want to go directly into the mountain?"

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "No hurry, let's find a place to camp first and let everyone rest for a while."

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Xie Changan ordered the team to stop, find a suitable place to camp, and rest on the spot.

The little eagle fluttered down and perched on Xie Changan's shoulder.

Jiang Li stroked its feathers and said with a smile, "Chengfeng, are you tired?"

The little eagle said proudly: "Sister, I am a strong eagle, how can I be tired?"

Jiang Li giggled and said, "Chengfeng, you are not yet an adult. Don't be so stubborn. You should rest well when it's time to rest."

"I'm going to give you an important task tomorrow!"

Xiaoying said happily: "Okay, I will complete the task!"

After setting up the tents, Yin Er led a few personal guards to fetch water and hunt.

Jiang Li and Xie Changan stood side by side outside the tent, gazing into the distance, feeling relaxed and happy.

Daxinganling is truly a beautiful place with vast forests, clear lakes, spectacular grasslands, and countless wild animals.

Autumn comes early here. In late summer and early autumn, the vegetation has lost its green and is dyed with colorful colors.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, you can see the continuous mountains and colorful forests, which is a breathtaking beauty.

Jiang Li said: "Let Chengfeng investigate tomorrow. After we find the eagle's nest, you and I can go there."

Xie Changan said: "That's fine, anyway you want to contract the eagle, and it's not convenient for them to be present."

He smiled again and said, "I heard that there are natural hot springs in Daxing'anling. Do you want to go and take a dip, little raccoon?"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

We have been marching quickly these days, and although we were able to wash ourselves when we set up camp, how could it be as comfortable as soaking our whole body in hot water?

Hearing that there were hot springs, Jiang Li couldn't wait to go into the mountains.

Seeing that it was still early, Xie Changan called Yin Twelve, who was guarding the base camp, and told him to keep an eye on Chagatai and not let him out of his sight.

"Yes, I obey!"

Jiang Li went to call Xiaoying: "Chengfeng, if you are not tired, let's go into the mountains to play."

The little eagle was so happy that he immediately spread his wings and flew high into the sky: "Okay, okay, let's go!"

Jiang Li and Xie Changan then took Xiaoying into the mountains to find hot springs.

The two of them used their Qinggong skills and soon disappeared into the dense forest.

Chagatai was shocked to see Jiang Li's figure floating around and suddenly disappearing.

Fortunately, I did not lead them to the Khan's tent. With the skills of this female marquis, they would not be able to catch her even if she went in and out of the tent seven times!

At that time, it would not be like inviting someone into a trap, but like inviting a wolf into the house!

Seeing his expression of having seen a ghost, Yin Twelve could not help but sneer: "You really have a good eye. Why do you have to target our Lord and Master when you can target anyone else?"

"You don't know, they are known as a pair of Rakshasas made in heaven in the capital! It's already good enough that they didn't skin you alive and pull out your tendons."

Chagatai turned pale and trembled.

Xiaoying was indeed very helpful. Not long after Jiang Li and the others entered the mountain, they heard Xiaoying happily say, "Sister, come quickly, there seems to be a hot spring here!"

Jiang Li was overjoyed, and ran quickly with Xie Changan in the direction pointed by the little eagle.

In a valley, they found a hot spring. They touched the water and found that the temperature was just right for a bath.

Jiang Li was very happy: "Brother Changan, you help me keep watch first, and I will take your place after I finish washing."

Xie Changan's eyes were deep and he smiled slightly: "Anyway, there's no one here, why don't we go together? Let Chengfeng keep watch for us."

Jiang Li's face flushed red: "Don't even think about it, you scoundrel!"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "I am obviously your husband, not some pervert."

He chuckled, "When you were injured and unconscious, I changed your clothes a lot..."

Jiang Li was very shy and hit him with her fist.

While they were playing, they accidentally fell into the hot spring.

Well, now I have to wash the clothes too.
