Li Xiu took Xue Rengui and others out of the domestic city, and walked along the foot of Marutou Mountain, stopping and stopping along the way. He planned to circle around Marutou Mountain and try his best to reach the road that was destroyed by Goguryeo.

However, the more you walk, Li Xiu became more and more shocked, because the mountainous mountain in Marutou Mountain is indeed too steep. Some places seem to have a very slow slope, but after walking up for a while, you will encounter a cliff blocking the road. Of course, there is no way to go up. For example, you can take a hot balloon and then climb up with a rope ladder. However, Li Xiu was not sure if there would be any other obstacles after passing this cliff, so he could only write it down first.

Of course, the best way is to find the road to the mountain. Even if the road is destroyed, it cannot be completely destroyed. It is very likely that it will only be destroyed in a dangerous place. As long as you find a way to pass that section, you can successfully reach the foot of Marutou City. However, the jungle on Marutou Mountain is dense and you can't see where you can go up.

"Mr. Prince Consort, it's not a solution for us to continue looking for it blindly. It's better to find a local person to ask." The day after he came out, Xue Rengui suggested to Li Xiu that because the terrain around Marudu Mountain was complicated, Li Xiu was also ready to spend a few days.

"I also want to find a local, but with our arrival, the Goguryeo people around us either escaped or went to Marudu to take refuge. We couldn't find it." Li Xiu couldn't help but smile bitterly. Since they came here, they had not even encountered half of the Goguryeo people. After all, no one was a fool and had already escaped when the army arrived.

"You can't say that. I just found someone doing some animal traps in the woods in the mountains. There were footprints next to it. It seemed that they were newly made in the past few days, so there should be people in the nearby forests." Xue Rengui said at this time. When he was in his hometown, he often went out to hunt, otherwise he would not be able to fill his stomach.

When Li Xiu heard Xue Rengui's discovery, his eyes lit up, and then he said in surprise: "Rengui, can you be sure? Can you follow the other party's footprints to find those who set traps?"

"It should be no problem. Judging from the other party's method of setting traps, it should be a hunter in the forest. He must be very familiar with the surrounding terrain. As long as he can find the other party, he can let them lead the way." Xue Rengui said confidently. He was also an excellent hunter at the beginning, and even killed tigers and mountain bears alone. Tracing a few hunters in the forest was nothing to him, not to mention that he also had many excellent spies under him, and tracking the enemy was their strength.

At that moment, Xue Rengui personally led a few people into the mountains and forests to track the whereabouts of the hunter. Generally speaking, the hunter will definitely not be too far from the trap he sets, which will make it convenient to come back to get prey. Xue Rengui set off at noon and finally came back when it was almost dark. He also brought back a Goguryeo who was tied up in a large body. To be precise, he should be a martyr with braids on his head and a very burly figure. Even if he was tied up, he still struggled constantly.

"Mr. Prince Concubine, we quickly found a small tribe living in the ravine with a small number of people, about a hundred people. This guy was hunting nearby, so I caught him!" Xue Rengui pushed the man to the near future and immediately asked Li Xiu for help.

"Son-in-law, where did you catch the marshal?" As soon as Li Xiu returned to the city, Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin also came to greet him in person. Seeing the marshal marshal escorted by Tang Jun, he couldn't help but ask with a surprised expression.

"I caught it in the ravine near Marutou Mountain. I originally wanted to find someone who was familiar with the terrain, but I didn't expect that both sides could not speak, so I had to bring them back." Li Xiu smiled bitterly at this time.

"So that's it. I immediately asked someone to find a translation. Someone should understand the dialect of the Martial Arts." Qin Qiong said immediately when he heard this, and then ordered someone to find the translation of the army. The Martial Arts are one of the main ethnic groups in Goguryeo. If the Tang army wants to operate in Goguryeo, they must communicate with the locals, so they know all kinds of translations.

In a short while, more than a dozen general translators came. Most of these general translators were Tang Dynasty merchants who used to do business in Goguryeo. This time they were also requisitioned by the army, but they also had benefits, such as giving priority to the acquisition of Tang army's spoils, and in addition, some commercial taxes can be exempted in the future.

At this moment, these translators came forward to communicate with the Martellers, and soon a tall and thin middle-aged businessman had a smooth conversation with the Martellers, which made Li Xiu and Qin Qiong both happy. After all, there are many ethnic groups in Goguryeo. Even if they are both Martellers, their languages ​​are different, and sometimes they cannot communicate. It is really a joyful thing to be able to talk now.

"You are the general, this tribe is called the Hei Water Tribe. I wonder what the general wants me to ask them?" After chatting with the Martins, the middle-aged businessman immediately ran to Qin Qiong and Li Xiu to salute.

"You ask them if they understand the terrain of Marutou Mountain, especially the roads that were up the mountain before, even if they were destroyed by the Goguryeo people." Li Xiu immediately spoke.

The middle-aged businessman agreed, and then went back to talk to the group of marshes. The communication lasted a little longer. The middle-aged businessman gestured and spoke for a while, which made the marshes understand what he meant. Then an old marshes stood up and said a few words. As a result, the middle-aged businessman looked happy and hurriedly talked to the other party. The old marshes seemed very stubborn and kept repeating a sentence. The middle-aged businessman asked several times but it was useless.

In the end, the middle-aged businessman had no choice but to come to Qin Qiong again to report: "Report to several generals, this old man said that he was familiar with the road to Maruto Mountain before, but he had a requirement, that was, his tribe members must be allowed to leave."

"Tell him that now he and his tribe members live in the country's city for the time being, and we provide food and clothing. As long as he helps us find the way up the mountain, I will not only let them go, but also give them a batch of food, enough for them to spend this winter!" Li Xiu also said very readily. He would not let the other party leave easily before he found the way up the mountain.

The middle-aged businessman immediately translated Li Xiu's words, but the old man was silent after hearing this, turned his head and discussed with several other middle-aged man. Finally, he nodded, as if he agreed to Li Xiu's conditions.
