Chapter 681: Asan Camp
After staying at the Hot Spring Inn for one night, the group of five continued their journey south.
Chu Xiaomu was very excited thinking that he would meet Yu Aqi soon. He was also a little nervous when he thought that he might find the Snow Country people from Bai Yixing in Yutuo City. After all, Qin Gang was the Spirit King of the Snow Country, and he was not sure if he could defeat him. Moreover, his injuries had not healed yet, and he was afraid that he could not even use half of his original force.
After walking for about two days, they arrived near Yutuo City.
The houses in Yutuo City are different from those in Jinyang City. Although they are still built with wood and stone, they do not have flying eaves and raised corners. Each one is built in a circle, with round walls and round roofs. They look somewhat similar to the tents in Bicheng, but much larger.
Lu Linnan Ge finally said to Chu Xiaomu: "When you meet my father, don't tell him that your horse is Chenghuang, so as to avoid any accidents."
Chu Xiaomu hesitated and did not answer.
Xin Chengyong had some opinions about Lu Linnan Ge allowing Chu Xiaomu to come to Yutuo City, but after a few days of contact with Chu Xiaomu, he knew that although Chu Xiaomu was extremely capable, he was kind-hearted and honest, and was definitely not the strange man or evil demon that everyone was worried about, so he had already let go of his grudges. He said, "Brother Chu, although you are not a bad person, our city lord does not know you well. If he knew that you are the master of Cheng Huang, I am afraid he would have some ideas. Our young master said this for your own good."
Chu Xiaomu simply said, "Master Lu Lin, I came to Yutuo City to look for Aqi, so I won't go to the city lord. Thank you for your care along the way."
Lu Linnange frowned and thought about it, and felt that there was no need to take him to see his father, so he said: "That's fine, Aqi and the others are in the military camp under Yashan, I will take you to find him."
Chu Xiaomu refused again, saying that as long as he was told the approximate location, he and Xiaoying would go find it themselves.
Lu Linnange didn't argue any more and just described the location of Yu Aqi in detail. Chu Xiaomu remembered it firmly.
Lu Linnan Ge finally said, "I will go back and report the matter of Jinyang City to my father. I will also go to Yashan in a few days, and we will meet again."
Chu Xiaomu nodded, said goodbye to Lu Lin, Nan Ge and the other two, and headed southwest towards Yashan with Xiaoying.
There are many people living near Yutuo City, and many of them have different clothing and accents, which are very similar to those of the people in Bicheng.
Chu Xiaomu asked around and found out that many people had indeed fled from Bicheng. After the Red Army captured the main city of Bicheng, they sent a large army eastward to Yutuo City. When the people along the way heard the news, they either fled to the remote areas of Beast Mountain in the south or to the dense forests of Jinyang City in the north, and most of them fled to Yutuo City.
Chu Xiaomu thought about the two villages he encountered when he was on sentry duty at Gusong Ridge at the foot of the Beast Mountain. One was called Dongxi Village, where the villagers had been killed by him and his men after they had turned into Yinshengya's Yinsheng children. The other was called Shiyang Village, where the villagers might have also fled to Yutuo City.
We asked questions along the way and finally arrived at the Asan camp near evening.
The camp was built very crudely, but the soldiers were excited, the horses were strong, and they moved in and out of the camp in an orderly manner, which made Chu Xiaomu quite excited.
The sergeant on duty at the gate was a square-faced soldier. When he heard Chu Xiaomu calling Yu Aqi by name, he said unhappily, "How can you call General Yu by his name?" When he saw a beautiful girl following him, his expression changed immediately and he asked, "What do you want from him?"
Chu Xiaomu was very happy to hear that Yu Aqi was also appointed as the Central Army, but then he remembered Ding Qi of the East Zhong Army and asked, "Isn't Ding Zhongjun the Central Army of the East Zhong Army? How come Aqi became the new one?"
The sergeant on duty said, "General Ding is the chief general, and General Yu is the deputy general. Is that not okay? Tell me, what do you want from General Yu?"
Chu Xiaomu thought, so that's how it is. The general of the Nanding army died in battle, and he thought Ding Qi had also had something happen. But he naturally couldn't tell this person about his visit to Aqi, so he had to say, "It's nothing, please tell Aqi that it was Chu Xiaomu who was looking for him." I thought, I have already exposed my name, I believe you have heard of it, you won't stop me from seeing Aqi, right?
But the sergeant on duty had never heard of his name and said, "What big or small wood? General Yu is very busy. If you don't explain the matter clearly, I can't let you in!"
Seeing him dithering, Xiaoying had already become impatient and said, "Are you annoying? The Yu Zhongjun that Xiaomu told you about is a very good friend, and it was Yu Aqi who asked Xiaomu to come here to find him!"
The soldier got angry when he saw that the beautiful woman was so mean to him. He said, "I can't tell good friends from bad friends. If someone comes and says he is General Yu's good friend and wants to enter the camp, won't our Dongzhong Army be in chaos?!"
Xiaoying frowned and said angrily, "If you don't let us in, then we can go and inform them, right?!"
The sergeant also said angrily: "No!"
Chu Xiaomu and the others could not believe that the Dongzhong Army's sergeant guarding the gate would be so unreasonable, and they were extremely angry. Just when they were at a loss, they suddenly heard a clear voice in the camp shouting, "Is that Xiaomu?"
