A country of women?
This was unlikely. This country of women existed in novels, not in this remote mountain.
Moreover, they were natives here, which meant that they were not outsiders but were all born here.
This didn't make sense. No matter what, there should be a man.
Li Ke couldn't help but ask,"What's going on? Why are all the Fire Phoenix Mountain women?"”
He looked at the fellow in front of him. Was this fellow fooling him? How could there be an aboriginal who was full of women? There was a story behind this.
"Your Majesty, I only heard of a legend!”Blackface smiled apologetically as he explained.
Legend?
Li Ke suddenly became interested and asked curiously,""Quick, tell me. There's actually a legend in a country of women. There's indeed a story behind it.”
After listening to Blackface's story, Li Ke fell silent.
It turned out that these women belonged to a villager called Wu Village. They had lived in this mountain for generations and lived a happy life. Later, a group of mountain bandits broke into the village and wantonly burned, killed, and robbed the young women in the village.
In order to protect the woman, Village Chief Zhao Ming led all the men in the village to cover their retreat to the Fire Phoenix Mountain, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Only then did they save their lives.
However, the women in the village had escaped, but the four hundred men under the village chief had all been killed. It could be said that the village was covered in blood.
In order to protect themselves, the remaining women built a stronghold on Fire Phoenix Mountain to fight against the surrounding mountain bandits. It was said that their leader was called Zhao Qingluan, the daughter of the previous clan leader.
This village chief of Wu Village was admirable and lamentable.
In order to protect his wife and daughter, he had sacrificed his life.
"Do you know who did it?" Li Ke frowned.”
"I don't know yet!"
Blackface looked at Li Ke's unchanging expression and could not help but shiver. He said in horror,"Your Majesty, I didn't do this. To be able to slaughter an entire village, no ordinary person could do this.”
He was afraid that Li Ke would kill him. Although the current situation was very tragic, it was better to live than to die. As long as he was alive, there was more or less hope.
"I know it wasn't you. You don't have the strength!”
Li Ke rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily,""What's the situation on Pomelo Mountain? Tell me what you know.”
Pomelo Mountain!
A trace of resentment flashed in Blackface's eyes as he said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, this Pomelo Mountain is a remnant of the Turks, a group of nearly five hundred bandits. They are extremely cruel and have never spared the people of the Great Tang.”
He could tell that Li Ke had a good impression of the people of the Great Tang. He was probably related to the Great Tang, so he was prepared to scam Pomelo Mountain.
Wang Ba had attacked them before. This time, they had to let them have a taste of this.
A strange look flashed in Li Ke's eyes. This guy probably had a grudge against Pomelo Mountain. He almost told him how many sentries the other party had. It was really too detailed.
But since these people were so brutal, there was no need to stay. The Eastern Turks had already been destroyed, so they should follow them.
However, he thought of a problem. Since this guy was so cruel, why would he let those salt carriers go? It seemed that these salt carriers had secrets too.
He looked at Blackface. This guy had collected protection fees from them before, so he should know a thing or two.
"Blackface, what's the situation with those salt-carrying people? How did they get to Nanzhao safely?”
Those people were all ordinary people, but they could pass through this illegal place. They only bribed Zhou Shilong. There was definitely a secret behind this.
Blackface's body stiffened. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said,"Milord, there is actually a small path at the foot of Mount Wolong that can avoid all the villages except Wolonggang. They had relied on that road to travel between Nanzhao and the Great Tang.”
"What? There's another way?"
Li Ke's eyes couldn't help but light up. There was actually another path that existed. There was indeed a surprise.
These salt-carrying people hadn't had any problems for so long. It seemed that this road was definitely very secretive. Then he might be able to rely on this road to quietly attack Pomelo Mountain.
"Let's go, take us there!"
After being brought to the back of the mountain by Blackface, Li Ke couldn't help but gasp. This was a f * cking road? This was simply a cliff.
The back mountain of Wollongong was a cliff, but there were some gaps on the side for people to step on. Once they stepped on the air, they would probably not even have a corpse left.
At a glance, there seemed to be a canyon below. Perhaps that was how they passed.
"Hiss hiss hiss!"
Li Xing and the others couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. This was definitely a path of nine deaths and nine deaths. It seemed that these salt carriers were also risking their lives.
"Where does this place lead to?"
"We should be able to take a detour behind the Hundred Thousand Mountains from here, and then take a detour to Nanzhao. However, it's too dangerous down there, so we don't dare to go down.”Blackface shrunk his head. He did not dare to go down. This place was too dangerous.
Li Ke stared at the ground for a long time before shaking his head. It was still too dangerous to go down here. It was better to find someone to try first.
"Li Xing, investigate this Pomelo Mountain carefully. They are our next target.”
Although Blackface had said a lot just now, he did not completely believe this guy. This guy might be hiding something.
Blackface took the opportunity to walk over and kneel in front of Li Ke, begging,"Your Majesty, can you let me off on account of what I said just now?”
"Well,"
Li Ke smiled and glanced at him, then immediately denied,""Of course not, you are my future leader!”
"Men, bring him back to our territory. I'll leave this place to Li Yi!”
Blackface was instantly in despair. This guy was clearly not willing to let him off. This was too much.
Li Ke was ready to return to the base. He left more than 100 people for Li Yi to guard the place and explore the mountain road behind.
Although Longyin Mountain could not compare to this place, it was still easy to defend and difficult to attack. The most important thing was that there was enough water and land there. This was the most important thing.
