Kui Er carried his machete like half a door panel and led more than 20 Dingxiang men to open the road in front, followed by the 2,000 soldiers of Yuwen's army. Because the mountain road was narrow, the team could only move forward one after another. The team that played the vanguard stretched out for more than a mile on the winding mountain road.

General Chen personally led the follow-up troops of more than 70,000 people to maintain a certain distance from the vanguard, and advanced in sequence along the mountain road led by the vanguard troops in front.

It has been two days since I entered the mountains, and the King of Chu army has penetrated into the rarely visited mountains and forests. Kui Er and his group relied on the memories of having taken several escorts in the past and tried hard to travel through the forest.

Apart from sleeping, Kui Er and others never stopped, and even ate dry food while walking. They were farther and farther away from the team behind, but fortunately they were left with signs along the way to ensure that the team behind them would not get lost.

In the early morning of the next day, Kui Er, who was resting on a big tree, was awakened by the dew dripping from the branches. He raised his hand to wipe the dew drops on his face, and turned to go sideways to continue sleeping for a while, but suddenly he glanced at a figure swaying in the woods ahead.

He sat up in shock and squinted his eyes to look at that place. Although he didn't see anything passing by, the trees in the forest there were shaking very clearly, indicating that something had indeed passed by just now. What was it? Is it a wild beast?

The beasts in the mountains are not afraid of them. There are so many of them and several bonfires have risen at night, so the beasts dare not approach them.

But such a thick tree trunk could be shaken like that, and the thing that just passed by was definitely not an ordinary small animal. Could it be a giant beast? Kui Er felt even more and more strange, so he got up and walked over there, wanting to find out.

He walked quietly into the woods, looked around, and found that a grass in the southwest was crushed on the ground, and he walked towards the grass.

He walked along the grass crushed on the ground for a while, and there was a clear space in front of him. He looked around and didn't know where to go. At this time, he saw a huge footprint on the ground. He had never seen such a big footprint. He stretched out his foot and compared it, and it was half a bigger than his foot.

The second footprint was already ten feet away, and the stride was so large that it was a huge creature. This discovery surprised Kui Er and he became more curious about what this mysterious thing was.

Kui Er, who was surprised and curious, followed the direction of his footprints. After chasing for a while, the footprints disappeared on a slope. Kui Er climbed up the slope and looked around, but found no obvious traces. He had to continue walking forward while observing, and unknowingly, he had already walked a long distance.

After passing through a dense forest, there was another open space in front of it. Kui Er stood by the woods and looked at the open space, feeling a little strange, because the open space seemed to be cut down by someone, not like it was formed naturally.

Kui Er was exploring what was going on, and suddenly felt a wind coming from behind his head. He cried out in secret and hurriedly flashed to the side, but was still led to a huge force. He turned around and looked sideways and saw a huge monster with brown hair pounced on the ground beside him.

Without thinking too much, Kui Er immediately turned over and counterattacked the monster, locked the object's neck tightly with his arms, wrapped one of the monster's arms with his legs, and leaned back with his upper body, trying to suppress the monster's other arm.

The brown-haired monster shook his head desperately, trying to get rid of the constraints. It let out a deafening roar, arched its back, and then suddenly turned back, trying to press the thing on its back under it.

Usually, it is not a problem to deal with a tiger and black bear with Kui Er's body, but the monster's body is strong and heavy, which Kui Er has never encountered before. He felt that he could not suppress the monster, so he hugged the monster and used the force to roll back.

The monster was locked by Kui Er and could not break free for a moment. He had no choice but to be carried by Kui Er and rolled out on the ground for several turns.

The two of them rolled to the middle of the open space before stopping. Kui Er was also suppressed by the huge monster and his arm that locked the thing's neck also loosened. The huge monster also took the opportunity to struggle to stand up. Kui Er also wanted to turn over and ride on the monster again. At this moment, Kui Er felt that his feet suddenly became soft and his whole body sank.

Kui Er felt a dizzy turn and then fell heavily to the ground, with a lot of dust and stones falling over his head. At the same time, he felt that the huge monster also hit him heavily. After a dizzy turn, Kui Er immediately lost consciousness and fainted.

The next morning, about twenty famous local heroes who followed Kui Er into the mountain could not find Kui Er everywhere. Kui Er's machete was leaning against the tree, but the person could not be found anywhere.

Everyone shouted and searched everywhere, and sent people to contact the troops behind to report. After a while, the main vanguard led the team to arrive. After asking about the situation, they also found it very strange.

Some soldiers asked if the beast would be told away by the beast? The local warriors sneered, saying that the beast was afraid of seeing it, and dared to talk to him? Besides, so many people are there, and others don’t talk to him. If a beast is really coming, there will be no movement?

Some people also said that it was convenient to enter the forest and got lost. Everyone didn't agree with it, saying that he was not a big girl, so he was hiding in the old forest. Yesterday afternoon, everyone saw him soaking shit on the side of the road, and he didn't avoid people. It was obvious that it was unreasonable.

Everyone was puzzled and had to continue to send people to search around, while reporting the situation to General Chen. Half a day had passed when General Chen's troops arrived.

In order not to delay military information, General Chen ordered two township heroes and ten soldiers to stay where they were waiting. If Kui Er still did not come back two days later, they could return to Xingjing County to report the news. The other township heroes who knew the road continued to lead the way together with the van troops and advanced into the territory of Qifan.

In addition, General Chen felt that the deep mountains were strange, so he ordered the soldiers and the village warriors to form groups to take care of each other and not to leave the team alone.

At noon the next day, the troops finally walked out of the mountains and entered the plains. They were less than a hundred miles away from the capital of Qifan. General Chen lined up the team again and marched towards Dingkang Mansion with great speed.

When they approached Dingkang Mansion, the front probed the horses and reported that Dingkang Mansion City had empty defense, there were not many troops, and the war horses were not saddled, most of the soldiers were not armed, and the garrison troops were almost unsuspecting.

General Chen was overjoyed when he heard this. Dingkang Mansion was originally a small town on the grassland. It was surrounded by flat horses and had no danger to defend. In addition, the defense was empty, so it seemed that it was easy to capture this city, without any effort.

Sure enough, when the troops led by General Chen arrived at Dingkang Mansion, they captured them almost without any blood. There were only more than 10,000 soldiers guarding the city. They were in a panic and surrendered after just a little resistance. Before they could figure out how a team of Central Plains people suddenly appeared here, they became prisoners in a daze.

However, after entering the city, General Chen found that this place did not look like a capital city. It had a small population and the city was not prosperous and lively. There were only some ordinary people who traveled between the streets and markets, and they rarely saw any noble people. Moreover, there were no magnificent palaces and large royal buildings here. In terms of scale, it could only be regarded as a small town in the Central Plains.

The captured Qifan officer told him that the princes, nobles and political institutions of Qifan had moved to Suiyuan Pass. Qifan had just completed the relocation of the capital and had now placed the capital in Suiyuan Pass with a high wall.

General Chen thought that the Qifan tribe was originally a nomadic tribe and migrated everywhere, but it was only after gradually becoming popular for more than ten years that they slowly settled down. After stealing the land in the Central Plains, they were naturally willing to move in and enjoy the achievements of the construction of the people in the Central Plains.
