Chapter 334 Entering the White Mountain at Night

White Mountain does not belong to Duoluo or Qingguo. It is very close to the region between the two, and it is more inclined to Duoluo. However, at the beginning, the Rob people automatically gave up the vast grassland and chose to live in seclusion in the White Mountain. At that time, King Doro did not care about it. When they found that the Rob people were trying to submit to the Central Plains, they wanted to attack, but there was no way to find the Rob people hidden in the deep mountains.

The top of Baishan Mountain is covered with snow all year round, but the valley is like spring all year round, the four walls are towering into the clouds, and the mountains are empty like sinking deep into the pit. There is only one way to get in and out of the valley. The road is small and long. Even if you walk in the daytime, you can't see the blue sky. From the mouth of the cave to the other end, the widest can only accommodate two carriages to barely pass by, but the narrowest place can only accommodate one person and one horse, so it is almost impossible to enter the army. And there is also a road leading to the valley on the top of the mountain, but the mountains are densely forested and full of strange rocks, and there are poisonous snakes and beasts among them. If you don't pay attention, you will die.

The head of the Rob clan is very far-sighted and knows that the Central Plains culture is far-reaching and the land is fertile. As long as he is not in charge, he is always stronger than the nomadic Dora. Since the answer is no longer there, he will divide the world, establish the country and dominate the grassland, and he should also think about his future generations. Perhaps because of the historical record of the Rob people, they only surrendered to the Ashi Dynasty, so they naturally did not want to succumb to the Dorians.

From the genealogy of the Rob people, the Rob people are longer than the Ashi Dynasty, and they have always been divine doctors. Because of physical relations, they hardly participate in any war, but despite this, their clan is still the least. After they settled in the White Mountain, they found that the water and soil of the White Mountain could prolong the lives of their people. Therefore, the head of the Rob clan was willing to give up the wealth and glory of the royal family and chose to move and live in seclusion in the White Mountain.

Even if he later surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty, the emperor of the Qing Kingdom did not ask them to merge into the country because of the mountains and rivers. In the view of the royal family, the Rob people's initiative was far more cost-effective than forced annexation. Besides, the situation of the Rob people is really not to be afraid. It is impossible for them to capture the Qing Kingdom. Even if the Qing Kingdom attacks them, it only gets a mountain area. Therefore, over the years, North Sichuan has become the place with the most exchanges between the White Mountain and the Central Plains.

When Mrs. Xin decided to marry Xin Maoshan, she did cause a lot of turmoil in the Rob clan. If she regarded herself as a small country, she should also be a noble princess, but she looked at a general with no family status. Moreover, the Rob people also have an unwritten rule. Rob women who marry can't go back to their mother's house. Naturally, the patriarch is reluctant to give up their daughter to marry out, but in the end, they can't stand their daughter and promised her to Xin Maoshan. It is Youning and others have been able to go to Baishan to meet their grandfather's house since they were young, but Mrs. Xin has never stepped into the house. This is also the point that Xin Maoshan has always felt sorry for his wife, so that later he never let his concubines serve his children.

Shaohua thought that he had not stepped into the White Mountain for many years. His memory was far away, but the pace under his feet was never wrong, as if he had walked every day. You Ning had fallen into a semi-coma because of too much blood loss. Shaohua carefully told Lanzhi to take good care of Youning, but gave the reins to Hu Banniang and led them slowly into the mountain against the dim yellow sky. The night in the mountains darked quickly, and Shaohua finally found the way into the valley, but he could no longer see the direction in front of him.

"Master, I'm afraid!" Listening to the wind like a ghost blowing from the peaks, Hu Ba Niang hugged Shaohua tightly, and her voice was slightly crying. Shaohua was a little unhappy. She didn't like to have such intimate contact with strangers, but Hu Ba Niang buried her face in her hair because she was afraid, breathing and lifted her neck, causing her to have a layer of goose bumps.

The darkness that raised her eyes and stretched out her fingers made Lanzhi feel afraid. It was the first time she went into the mountain at night. She has heard the name of Baishan many times, but it has never been so close. She only remembers that when she was a child, she heard her brother scare her, and the disobedient children would be eaten by the Cangni of Baishan.

So she looked around warily. Any noise and light would make her feel that it was Cangji.

"Wuniang, are you sure you're right?" Lanzhi swallowed, and You Ning almost leaned on her, closing her eyes tightly, and her mouth turned pale. She didn't dare to relax for fear that if she was not careful, You Ning would fall off her horse.

Shaohua looked back, but only saw the darkness. She whispered, "Don't worry, it won't be wrong. You Ning has told me many times." She also walked this road many times at night, but she hadn't come for a long time and had to be cautious.

Worried that sitting on horseback would be difficult to explore the way, Shaohua decided to turn over and get off the horse and let Hu Banniang sit on the horse carefully, but Hu Banniang was also bold and small-hearted. She immediately jumped off the horse and had to pull Shaohua away. Shaohua had no choice but to let her pull and walk while looking at the faint sky in the narrow stone crack above her head, guiding her way forward.

Turning the corner, he suddenly saw a dim yellow oil lamp in the dark. Shaohua was happy, but the next moment he had to be cautious. She stopped and looked at the light not far away. Hu Ba Niang nervously rubbed behind Shaohua and clung to her tightly.

Shaohua took a deep breath and asked, "Who is ahead!"

The other party did not answer, but slowly walked over with the oil lamp. Shaohua knew that the people who could still walk in the White Mountain so late must be Rob people, but she didn't know the identity of the other party, so she really couldn't take off her guard. Shaohua was so nervous that he was ready to hold the dagger to defend himself, but the other party stopped ten steps away from them. Shaohua was also relieved. The other party raised the oil lamp and whispered, "Four guests from the Central Plains, please follow me into the mountain."

Shaohua smiled happily and quickly followed the other party's footsteps, but Hu Banniang quietly pulled Shaohua's sleeves and asked in a low voice, "Master, how do they know where we came from? Shouldn't they follow us?"

Shaohua replied in a low voice, "Even if those people know that we are from the Central Plains, they don't know how many we have."

What's more, the dark lights on this road are blind. Even if the other party holds the lamp, it is still dark from his direction. Shaohua did not forget that the Rob people are best at divination, so it is not difficult to know their arrival.

But Lanzhi is not as relaxed as Shaohua, because Youning's hands are getting colder and colder, as if they are about to freeze, and even her hands are condensed. Lanzhi was a little scared. The temperature of Youning's whole body seemed to be taken away by the roaring mountain wind. She was afraid that even Youning would take it away. The voice choked in her throat, and Lanzhi was so nervous that she couldn't speak. She could only rub You Ning's hand secretly in an attempt to warm him up.

"Wuniang, You Ning, he is dying." Lanzhi finally couldn't help shouting, and her heavy crying shocked Shaohua who was walking in front of her. She hurried back and touched You Ning's hand along the horse's back. It was really cold.

"Youning, wake up! You Ning! Wake up, don't scare me." Shaohua shook his hand and shouted a few words, but Youning seemed to be asleep and ignored it. She ran forward in a hurry and said to the leader, "Call Uncle Bagg to come. Youning is seriously injured. He is dying."

When the person who was walking slowly in front of him heard Shaohua's words, he immediately stopped, looked back at them and asked, "You Ning?" Seeing Shaohua nodded, the leader was also a little shocked and turned back. At this time, they saw a middle-aged man leading the way. About 40 years old, he was slender, with a beautiful face and his eyes like a torch. He glanced at Shaohua and looked behind her. He soon recognized Han Baiyu and Youning, who was leaning in Lanzhi's arms in a coma.

He immediately rushed over, took Youning's hand, held his pulse and listened for a moment. He turned around and said to Shaohua, "I'll take him first. You wait."

Shaohua nodded without thinking. The middle-aged man seemed to be a little surprised. He nodded to her, carefully took Youning down from the horse, carried her back, and didn't forget to tell them, "I'll be back soon. Don't walk around."

Hu Ba Niang and Lan Zhi were stunned. They watched You Ning being carried away by a strange man and disappeared into the dark without even taking the oil lamp. Lanzhi walked to Shaohua, took her hand, and asked worriedly, "Who was that man just now? Is it okay for Youning to be taken away by him like this?"

Shaohua picked up the oil lamp, and the faint firelight lit the faces of the three of them. Looking at Lanzhi's worried expression, Shaohua gently comforted him: "Youning's maternal grandfather is the patriarch of the Rob clan. This is his mother's home. All the Rob people know him, so he will be fine." However, the man just had some face. She couldn't name it for a moment. Obviously, he was also a little wary of Shaohua, but from the fact that he could give Youning the pulse, he was not a person who usually guarded the customs, and he must have been sent by the head of the Rob clan.

Although the Rob people are naturally good at hunting, looking for herbs and astrological divination, they have their own strengths, among which the strongest divination ability is the patriarch.

No one knows the specific degree of strength. I only heard that the original Axi Dynasty could prosper on the grassland for so long, thanks to the Rob priests and even humanity. The demise of the Axi Dynasty is related to the weakness of the Rob people.

The Rob people also had a surge in population, but due to excessive marriage with other ethnic groups, the various astrological and pharmaceutical capabilities of their descendants declined and almost disappeared. Later, they found that only pure Robs can have the most powerful abilities. Just like the Dora people are naturally brave and good at fighting, and the descendants born are naturally stronger. If they marry the Central Plains, they may become more knowledgeable, but their ability to survive on the grassland also declines.

The same is true of the Rob people, so the three Youning sisters and brothers no longer have the ability of the Rob people, but only inherit their handsome appearance.
