He felt that the object in his palm was similar to a letter, so he opened it to take a look, only to see that in his palm was indeed a rolled up letter. He immediately opened the book and saw a few words on it: "Three miles downstream, to the right, you can cross the river."

Seeing these two sentences, Tian Gan raised his head and looked in the direction of the earlier stream of air, but he could not find a single person, so he took out the secret letter and said to Fan Xian: "Great General, it seems that someone wants to teach us how to cross the water."

Fan Yuzhen took the book from Tian Gan's hands and looked at it carefully. Then he frowned and asked: "Who is it that wants to help me?"

Tian Gan slightly shook his head and said, "I don't know about that, but since there are people who want to help, why not do as he says."

"This is the only way." Although Fan Yicheng was still skeptical, he had no other choice and could only go along with what Tian Gan had said.

The two of them followed the directions of the secret letter and followed the stream down. They walked about three kilometers and saw an open area between the streams. There was a large rock in the middle of the stream. When Tian Gan looked carefully, he only saw three large seal characters written on the book, "Right Ear Creek".

"Right Ear Stream, could it be as the letter says, just to the right?" Tian Gan couldn't help talking to himself as he looked at the three big words.

"Regardless of whether it's right or wrong, we should at least try it first." With that, Fan Yuzhen unbuckled the general's armor and prepared to dive into the water.

However, just as he was halfway through undoing his clothes, a hand suddenly grabbed onto his shoulder, causing him to be unable to remove his clothes. He turned around and saw Heaven Gan holding him down. Tian Gan shook his head slightly at him, and said very seriously, "General, you are the commander of the three armies, you should not have taken this risk. Let Tian Gan take over the position of general and give it a try."

Fan Yuzheng knew he couldn't do anything, so he followed Tian Gan's instructions. He patted Tian Gan's shoulder and warned him sincerely: "Be careful."

Tian Gan nodded his head, indicating that he understood, then turned around and waded down the stream.

Fan Xian was looking forward to the day in which he walked in the water step by step with difficulty, and his heart felt sour and touched. Although the Sky Execution had the help of the mysterious man's secret letter, it didn't dare to be careless before confirming the purpose of the other party's visit. Only by stepping on the ground did it finally relax.

Strangely enough, the water in the stream was not rushing at all. On the contrary, it seemed to have the power to carry him back. This made Tian Gan feel as if there was nothing holding him back at all. The water level between the smooth creeks wasn't that deep, and it just happened to reach his knees. Heaven only felt that there was something strange about it, so he carefully examined the terrain.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He carefully stared at the stone in the middle of the stream with his left ear. As he looked at the swirl of stone, he suddenly understood. It turned out that the huge rock above the surface of the water was the answer to these riddles.

After about an incense stick of time, just as Fan Yicheng was looking left and right in search of Tian Gan, there was a sudden sound. A figure suddenly appeared beside Fan Yicheng. This person was none other than Fan Yicheng, who was bitterly waiting for Tian Gan.

"General, I have personally tested the waters here. It is indeed as the secret letter said, this is a path that can safely cross the water." Tian Gan had already tried it all over, so he immediately came back to report to Fan Yuzheng.

"Oh? Really? Hahaha ? "Great, great, great ?" When Fan Xian heard these words, he was overjoyed. For a moment, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and actually started laughing out loud.

"It seems that the mysterious person really didn't lie to us," Fan Yuzhen laughed out loud. He suddenly thought of the person who had helped them in the dark, so he continued, "But I don't know who this hero is."

"Tian Gan still doesn't know this person's true identity, but I feel a faint sense of familiarity towards him." Tian Gan took out the secret letter from his bosom once more. He carefully looked at every trace of the letter and muttered to himself.

The familiar smell that Tian Gan was referring to was the same smell that he had felt when he was in the limelight. Zhong Li had repeatedly helped him out in the form of hints. Of course, he knew that Chong Li was no longer in the world, so this mysterious person would definitely not be Chong Li. However, what he was reminiscing about was only that feeling, that feeling that it was engraved in his heart forever. So, the familiarity that he was talking about was not towards the mysterious person in front of him.

At daybreak the next day, according to the route he and Tian Gan had found the night before, which allowed them to safely cross the river, he gave orders to the army and led them through the river.

"General, why did you find a way to cross the water in just one night? Let's let everyone safely cross this endless chasm. " After Yang Duohe led the group to the shore, he was extremely happy, but he kept asking Fan Yuzheng.

"Hehe, it is all thanks to Brother Tian Gan's wisdom that we found this place." Fan Yicheng only used the Heaven as an excuse, he didn't mention anything about the mysterious man at all.

"Oh? "It seems that hero Tian Gan is indeed the deputy general of the general." When Yang Duan heard this, he couldn't help but praise him.

Tian Gan just smiled without saying a word. He knew that Fan Yuzhen did not want to talk about the mysterious person, so he silently accepted the honor of Fan Yuzhen's appointment.

After the mediocre army had waded through the water, they continued to move forward until it was noon. Then, they encountered another towering mountain peak that was over a thousand meters tall. It stood tall and rugged amidst the clouds. "No wonder the people of the Central Plains call this place the place where the corpses of the dead are sealed." Fan Yu could not help but sigh as he looked at this mountain that was so tall that it could not be seen from the top.

Although Fan Yuzhen was filled with regret, since the upper mediocrity army had penetrated deep into the nine barbarians, there was no room for a comeback. So he ordered the old, weak, and children to support each other, and the entire army moved forward, ready to cross the mountain.

Everyone followed Fan Yuzhen's orders and helped each other climb the dangerous mountain step by step. However, because the mountain path was bumpy, it was very difficult to walk. Only when night fell did they arrive at the halfway point of the mountain. Tian Gan was a little worried, so he said to Fan Yuzhen, "General, the mountains are rolling up and down, high and far. If this goes on, our army will run out of water very soon. If there is no water in the army and we continue to go deeper into the mountain tomorrow, I'm afraid we will fall into a desperate situation where we will lose everything we have. "

"Yes, Brother Tian Gan's words are reasonable." Tomorrow morning, I will order the sergeant to find water sources around here and prepare it before proceeding. " When Fan Yuzhen heard this, he nodded in agreement, and came up with this plan.

On the second day, Fan ordered the sergeants to divide into groups and then split off to search for water sources. After receiving their orders, the soldiers went to obey the orders given by Yu Chen. However, by the time it was noon, not a single soldier came back to report on the progress of the search.

At this time, the soldiers and common people who were guarding the place began to run out of water as expected by the heavens. In this dangerous mountain, the dark wind was cold and wet at night, and the sun was scorching hot during the day.

"This won't do. If this goes on, I'm afraid we'll all die of thirst here." Tian Gan cracked his lips as he spoke, but as he spoke, he could feel smoke in his throat, making him feel uncomfortable.

"However, the people who are searching for water have yet to return. Other than waiting patiently, we have no other choice." When Fan Yuzhen heard this, although he was anxious, he couldn't do anything about it.

"Report!" "General, the people who were looking for the water source have all returned." Just as they were panicking, a messenger from the front came to answer.

"Oh? Where are they? " When Fan Xian heard that the people searching for water had returned, he immediately asked anxiously.

"General, we've searched the entire area according to your orders, but this ?" Just as Fan Yu Chen was asking, the water hunter rushed over, and reported nervously, "This Ghost Mountain can't find a place with water! We originally wanted to return back to the stream to retrieve the water, but who would have thought that the mountain road behind us would have already collapsed and blocked us, leaving us with no way to retreat! "

"What!" Hearing the report, Fan Yuzhen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His mind buzzed, and he immediately sat down on the ground. Luckily, Tian Gan helped him up, and assured him: "General, take care, take care."

Fan Yu Chen sat down paralyzed, shaking his head: "We can't find any water sources between these mountains, and now this back road has collapsed. It's going to cut off my Fan Yan's path of survival!"

Tian Gan saw the despair on Fan Yicheng's face, and his heart felt heavy. After pondering for a while, he suddenly stood up and ran towards the mountainside.

Tian Gan wasn't at ease with the soldier's report, so he decided to investigate it personally to see what exactly was going on.

When he arrived at the collapsed mountain road, he looked at it carefully. Most of the road had already collapsed, and debris was scattered all over the ground. He picked up a piece of broken rock and carefully observed it for a while. Suddenly, he realized that the broken rock was so smooth and bright! It was as if a ray of light had struck his brain. He picked up another few pieces of gravel from the ground and carefully examined them, only to find that all of them looked exactly the same.

That's right, he was sure that there was a trick to it. If the mountain had collapsed due to his own collapse, then the cross section would have been very high and low, along with the texture of the mountain rock, and the fracture would have been so smooth, even a little shiny. This must have been caused by the blades striking them, it seems like someone had already set their sights on Fan Yuchen's group!

Who was it that wanted to kill the civilian and military forces? This place was so remote, it couldn't possibly be Huan Feng's army. If it wasn't the Qin, then who else could it be? What was even more terrifying was that the enemy was in the shadows while I was in the light. If I was not prepared for it, the entire army would be trapped in an irrecoverable situation.

Thinking of this, Tian Gan felt a wave of worry and fear in his heart. Although he had experienced a lot of dangerous things, but there was still a way to find it, but the current situation left him with no clues. That was why he felt such fear for the first time.

A mysterious person!

He suddenly thought of the mysterious person who had sent a secret message to him yesterday regarding the method of crossing the stream in his left ear. Could it be that the mysterious person wanted them to cross the river in accordance with his instructions, then take the opportunity to cut off their retreat and trap them in this dangerous place without a single source of water, and when they ran out of water and were at their last gasp, he would catch all of them in one fell swoop?

Thinking of this, he did not dare to speculate any further, because the consequences of his words could make people tremble with fear. [I need to find that mysterious man as soon as possible. Maybe he is the key to the whole problem,] Tian Gan thought to himself.

However, just as he was about to search for that mysterious person, he suddenly heard an extremely inharmonious sound from the forest behind him, causing him to turn around and carefully investigate it.

It was the rustling of leaves, the rustling of leaves against the wind. It should have been reasonable, but it was strange that there was no sign of a breeze between the valleys!

"Since you are already here, please show yourself." Tian Gan already guessed that it wasn't the sound of a cold wind blowing by, but someone hiding deep in the forest.

However, he was the only one left in the valley. The deep sound he made echoed back and forth, but there was nothing else out of the ordinary.

Yesterday, you used a secret letter to inform me that the key to crossing this left ear stream is that huge rock in the stream. Once I arrived at this place, the rushing stream will gradually slow down, and the flow of water will be stopped by the huge rock, forming a return flow. This will cancel out a portion of the downward impact of the stream. Seeing that that person still refused to show his face, Tian Gan continued to speak his words, revealing the secret of the passage of water.

However, at this moment, only Tian Gan's words were drifting back and forth. There was still no movement in the forest opposite him.

However, as expected, on the surface, you are helping me, but in reality, you want to lay down an even more vicious trap. After we smoothly cross the left ear stream, you will send people to cut open the path on this cliff and cut off our retreat, so that you will be able to kill over 30,000 people in the army without spending even a single soldier.

Tian Gan continued with his speculations, but he was still talking to himself.
