Chapter 254 I seem to have forgotten

Zhuang Shao felt uneasy, as if there was a thorn in his back.

"I seem to have forgotten which way to go next..."

Yun Boyu screamed in fright, which immediately attracted the attention of Xiao Xiangshuo and others.

"what?!"

He realized it later, smiled awkwardly, and said something to comfort her.

"It's nothing serious, I was just scared by the bugs. Please rest and be patient."

Wen Yan smiled brightly and walked over happily.

"Where is the bug? Don't be afraid, Master Bai. I will drive it away."

Yun Boyu blushed with shame, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It has flown away. Thank you, Master Wen."

Wen Yan is very enthusiastic.

"It's inevitable that there are more insects in the mountains. If you see them again, just call me, Master Bai. No need to be polite."

Yun Boyu responded respectfully and complimented.

"Yes. Lady Wen is very charming and extraordinary, truly a heroine!"

Wen Yan smiled helplessly.

"It's just a bug, a trivial matter. Alliance Leader Bai is overpraising you."

Seeing her turn around and sit back, Yun Boyu dared to ask Yu Shaodi in a low voice.

"Have you really forgotten?"

Zhuang Shao lowered his head, at a loss.

"forget……"

With a heavy blow to his heart, Yun Boyu's eyes turned dark and he looked a little frightened.

"What should we do? There are four directions ahead."

After thinking it over, he gave his advice.

"How about this, you analyze it yourself."

Zhuang Shao was timid and cowered.

"Can I analyze it?"

Yun Boyu had no intention of blaming anyone, so he just complained softly.

"Look at you. Why don't you learn something else from Zhixuan? Why do you have to learn this lack of confidence?"

He smiled and gave affirmation.

"You can succeed if you analyze it as you like. I believe in your intelligence."

Zhuang Shao was indecisive, his eyes wandering, uncertain about what to do.

"But...where do I get my intelligence?"

Yun Baiyu spoke freely and gave praise.

"It is an old saying that wise men are modest. This shows that you are quite intelligent, at least more intelligent than me."

"To be honest, in my opinion, you, Shu'er, and He Zhixuan are equally intelligent. Why do you have to belittle yourself?"

Zhuang Shao gave examples to prove himself, looking embarrassed and perplexed.

"When I was looking for the clues left by the princess, I made the wrong choice more than ten times."

Yun Boyu disagreed and refuted directly.

"Xi'er didn't leave any clues, so your analysis is wrong."

"Besides, didn't I tell you to just call me Xi'er? We are all family, and you are the elder, so there is no need to be polite."

Zhuang Shao slapped his head and became even more dejected.

"Yes, I forgot again."

"I am too stupid to analyze, so I'd better let my brother-in-law decide."

Yun Boyu took a breath of cold air.

"I don't know how to make a decision, so how can I make a decision?"

Zhuang Shao explained it in a very logical way.

"Father and daughter are connected by heart. You can achieve your goal by choosing any path you like."

Yun Boyu felt helpless after hearing this.

"How can there be such a statement?"

Zhuang Shao felt somewhat helpless and just kept on acting like a spoiled child.

"Please, brother-in-law, can you please choose? What if we get the right one?"

Yun Boyu was helpless and felt both amused and sad.

"Okay, I choose. I really can't do anything about you."

As he spoke, he glanced around and carefully chose a path.

"That's it."

Zhuang Shao held his forehead with his hand, at a loss as to what to do.

"Brother-in-law, that's the way down the mountain..."

Yun Boyu was stunned and opened the map to look at it carefully.

"is it?"

"Oh, it's really a downhill road. I just said I don't understand strategy and it's hard to decide."

"There's not much time left, don't refuse, just make your choice."

The situation was critical and Zhuang Shao had no choice but to pull himself together and give it a try.

"Gandong Mountain is steep and steep, and the roads are dangerous. No one has climbed the mountain to see the whole mountain and draw a complete map. Xier has never been here, but he can only guess the terrain of the mountain based on other people's maps."

"Maybe... I can try to guess?"

Yun Boyu patted his chest and said.

"Absolutely."

"Just be patient and think about it. If there are any mistakes, just say it's all my fault."

Zhuang Shao sighed deeply, as if the situation was beyond redemption.

"If we make the wrong choice, we will end up in a dead end. Even if the prince asks for punishment, we won't be able to hear it."

"Alas, it's my incompetence. I feel sorry for my brother-in-law and my allies, and I feel sorry for all the lords. I only hope that when I am in a desperate situation, I can be the first to die, so that I won't feel too guilty."

Yun Boyu disagrees.

"Don't speak too soon."

He inspires confidence and perseverance.

"Xi'er is young and hasn't experienced much, but you are different. You are calm and composed, and you are at ease with everything. How can you be inferior to a junior?"

"You will definitely make the right choice, and your wisdom will lead us to a great victory and return with honor!"

Zhuang Shao smiled with relief, and finally regained a little of his already limited self-confidence.

"Thank you for your encouragement, brother-in-law."

He was absorbed in his work, and his expression was particularly serious.

"This mountain road looks narrow and difficult to navigate, and the mountain is steep and the grass is thick, which is not conducive to climbing. If someone falls off the cliff, there will be great danger of casualties."

"This road seems to lead to a higher place, which is a good location for setting up a battle formation or ambushing."

"As for this path, it seems to be winding halfway up the mountain, and it is difficult to take advantage of the height and terrain. Only if the two masters of Tongshitai choose the way down the mountain, they will be trapped by us."

Yun Boyu asked in confusion.

"You mean, choose this road?"

Zhuang Shao nodded slightly.

"It is indeed the main road, the most suitable one."

Yun Boyu thought about it and agreed with the view.

"I also think Xi'er will choose this path."

"It goes without saying that the path winds along the mountainside. The mountain path is steep and narrow, and only allows two or three people to walk side by side. If all the officials on the Supervisory Office line up and walk like this, how long will it take to reach the top?"

Zhuang Shao stated sternly.

"My thoughts are exactly the same as my brother-in-law's."

Suddenly, he changed the subject.

"Then... let's choose this steep mountain road."

Yun Boyu was surprised and thought he had heard it wrong. He was completely confused and looked dazed.

"what?"

"why?"

Zhuang Shao explained it with reason and evidence.

"How can you and I predict Xi'er's plan? She will definitely not take the usual path."

Yun Boyu suddenly understood and expressed his deep agreement.

"It makes sense."

"As the old saying goes, only by taking an unconventional path can one achieve a surprising victory."

As he said this, he stood up first.

"It's getting late. It will take a lot of time to climb the mountain. We should set off now to occupy the advantageous position and not miss the good time."

Zhuang Shao then stood up, smiling, and informed Xiao Xiangshuo.

"it is good."

"Master Xiao, it's almost time. Please order the masters to set off again."

Xiao Xiangshuo responded to the order and followed Zhuang Shao and continued forward.

The setting sun is gentle, spreading across the mountain stream, making the evening hazy and soft.

The dusk was thick and the silence was lingering, yet it seemed eerie and chilling.

The carriage galloped, and Ning Fengzhe arrived near Gandong Mountain.

Lou Xiuyu, the Minister of Bronze Affairs, accompanied him on horseback, and he was followed by three thousand guards.

They were a step late, so they kept going without stopping for a moment.

When they reached halfway up the mountain, Lou Xiu Yu raised his right hand slightly, signaling to stop.

He took a careful look at the map, then dismounted, walked to the side of Ning Fengzhe's carriage, and asked solemnly.

"The four directions ahead are shown on the map. Except for the way down the mountain, the others are not depicted."

"Excuse me, Master Ning, which way should we take?"
