Volume 1 Southern Regions Chapter 70 Out of the Mountain

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

On the other side, Bai Ze rushed all the way out of the mountain, relying on the foot strength of the nine-colored spirit deer, in two days, before the heavy snow closed the mountain, he could get out of Dushan.

The wind and snow did not stop, and it was rapid or slow for two days, and the snow in the mountains was so deep that there was no calf under one foot. After days of running, Bai Ze and the nine-colored deer were crawling and rolling in the Dushan Mountain, and one person and one beast were very tired.

And although there is pure yang true qi to maintain the temperature, the green scales are themselves cold-blooded spirit beasts because of the season, and they have shrunk on Bai Ze's chest these days, and they are mentally exhausted.

"Brother Lu, I'm glad to have you!" Bai Ze watched Lefeng Town, which was shrouded in wind and snow, gradually appear in sight, and glanced back at the reckless Dushan, the continuous mountain had been turned white by the heavy snow, "Otherwise, I will really be trapped in Dushan, at least for a month!"

"Chirp. The nine-colored deer smirked twice.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Bai Ze touched the head of the nine-colored spirit deer, he was already close to Lefeng Town, he didn't want to expose the existence of the nine-colored deer, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Although Fang has just advanced to the other side, it can be regarded as a novice stage of the bitter sea, but the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the rivers and lakes of Kyushu, the other side of the realm really does not allow Bai Ze to take it lightly.

Bai Ze was dressed in a black robe, and he had been running around in the mountains for days, which had already made his robe tattered. The young man had a handsome face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and wore two swords, and when he entered Lefeng Town wrapped in a cold storm and snow, it was already late at night. He didn't stop, and went directly to the inn where the war horses were stored before.

The sound of slamming the door sounded in the middle of the night on the town road, but the shopkeeper opened the door quickly, and as soon as the inn door opened, the cold wind blew in the heavy snow, blowing the shopkeeper trembling.

"Guest officer, please!" As soon as the shopkeeper saw Bai Ze, his eyes were extremely sharp, and he immediately saw the double swords on the young man's waist, knowing that this black-robed young man who looked quite young was also a ranger, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment.

"It's so cold weather!" Bai Ze drilled into the door of the inn, only to find that it was icy and snowy outside the door, but the fireplace was boiling in the inn, the first floor was brightly lit by the fire, quite warm, and there were also a group of Jianghu rangers sitting sporadically, "Xiao Er, serve the wine! It doesn't matter if it tastes good or not, the important thing is that it is strong enough, let me go to the cold." In the whole two signature dishes, cut a plate of cooked beef!"

"Well, wait a minute, the guest officer!" the shopkeeper hurriedly closed the door and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, do you have hot water and the upper room for you?"

"Ready!" Bai Ze nodded and sat down in a no-man's corner.

The rangers on the first floor of the inn saw Bai Ze enter the door, looked at it twice, and then returned to the previous atmosphere, should drink, eat, have a good time, and talk loudly.

Bai Ze listened attentively. He didn't know how long he was in Dushan, but at least it was about a month. The rivers and lakes of Kyushu are mixed, and the masters are like clouds, not to mention a month, even if the news is isolated for three days, it is possible to pop up a big news.

"This time, Heyang City and Weicheng have been fighting for more than half a month. A rough man on the first floor of the inn said loudly, "I heard that Mu Suifeng, the lord of Heyang City, went to Handan alone, and was intercepted and killed halfway, and his life and death are unknown. The prince is temporarily in charge of Heyang City, but everyone knows that it is the Grand Duke who has the final say behind him. The Weicheng family gathered private troops this time, and it was reasonable for the Grand Duke to order a crusade. ”

"It's a pity for the Marquis of Heyang!" the ranger at the same table sighed, "This person is also a character, and Heyang City has been the first city among the seven cities in the Southern Regions for more than ten years under his governance, and it is a good place to go." ”

"Alas, it's a pity!" said the rude man, "If it weren't for the sudden appearance of the monster before, which shocked the Grand Duke's military camp and the heavy snowy ghost weather, I am afraid that Weicheng would have been captured by the Grand Duke at this time." ”

Bai Ze didn't know if he didn't listen, and he was startled when he heard it. Heyang City and Weicheng have started a war? The life and death of the Marquis of Heyang who went north to Handan is unknown, what is the situation of Mu Chen, the prince of the world, and Mu Qingling, the county lord, now? He has only been in the mountain for a month, and the situation outside the mountain has become so complicated!

"Guest officer, the wine and food are ready, you use it slowly!" "During the obedience, Xiao Er put the wine and food on the plate, and said to Bai Ze: "The hot water has been boiled, you will be notified when you run out, and the little one will let the little maid take you to the guest room." ”

"Okay, thank you!" Bai Ze has been running around for days, the dry food he had stored earlier has long been exhausted, and he has been on the road day and night for two days, for fear that he will not be able to get out of Dushan and will not be hungry.

The liquor entered his throat, and Bai Ze suddenly felt that his cold body, which had been blown by the wind and snow, warmed up little by little.

Full of wine and food, Bai Ze just wanted to fall asleep. Calling the servant, Bai Ze ordered to buy a new dress, take a hot bath, and fall asleep.

The next day, Bai Ze slept until noon, then turned over and got up, pushed open the window and saw that it was snow-white outside, but the snow was much smaller.

Bai Ze went downstairs to eat breakfast and lunch together, and instructed Xiao Er to prepare three days' rations, and asked Xiao Er to bring the war horse he had stored here before, put on a big coat, pull on the hood, take the sword scabbard of Huangshan and pat the horse stock, and go out of the town.

"Drive!" Although the snow on the town road was trampled, it still piled up a lot, Bai Ze didn't dare to ride the horse too fast, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and went straight to the direction of Heyang City.

Carrying the wind and snow, it will take two days to go to Heyang, and if it is delayed on the way, I am afraid it will be delayed. Bai Ze directly prepared three days' rations.

Out of Dushan, the matter of the Xuan Snake and Snake Heart ordered by Xie Xuan was stopped. The Xuan Snake in the Hot Spring Lake of Zangling Mountain is really not something that Bai Ze can deal with now, so he can only ask the Chamber of Commerce to see if he can directly buy a Xuan Snake Snake Heart.

It's just that I don't know if selling the single horn of the Cold Jade Bear King is enough to buy a snake heart.

Needless to say, all the way.

At night that day, Bai Ze passed through a village, and the snow finally stopped, but the road was covered with snow along the way, so that when Bai Ze entered the village to spend the night, a layer of snow and ice formed on the belly of the war horse.

Bai Ze gave the silver, and the owner of the family was just about to finish eating, so he prepared an extra bowl and chopsticks and invited Bai Ze to eat together.

"Big brother, are you a ranger?" The head of the household, a nine-year-old little daughter, saw the double swords on Bai Ze's waist and asked him with wide eyes.

In terms of age, this girl is older than Bai Ze. can't stand Bai Ze's reincarnation against the sky, but he is an old monster if he is not in his mind.

"Sort of. Bai Ze said with a smile, looking at the innocent and cute smiling face of the little girl, thinking of the colorful clouds in Liuzhuang, and I don't know if the little girl missed him after a few months.

There is also the Yuan Fang.

If he returns to Liuzhuang this time, presumably that kid's swordsmanship will improve a lot, right? It's just that with his talent, he must still be practicing qi in the Sea of Bitterness at this moment, and Bai Ze has already jumped out of the Nine Heavens of the Sea of Bitterness, and has three levels on the Hongqiao in one breath, leading directly to the three heavenly gates on the other side.

When he opened the three heavenly gates, it was time for Bai Ze to enter the subtleties with one foot.

With this kind of cultivation speed, I have already crossed the sea in just half a year, and I am afraid that the entire Kyushu will be stirred up by one stone.

This kind of speed is difficult to compare with the capital of the sword immortal Li Muzhi in the world. When the sword immortal stepped into the way of heaven, it took him a year to cross the sea and build the Hongqiao, and he used the sword to prove the way and enter the other side.

"Wow, that big brother must be very powerful!" The little girl held the steaming rice porridge and said, "My brother is twenty years old this year, and we were originally going to pass the New Year's Eve together, but my father said that Heyang City and Weicheng in the south were at war, and my brother had been conscripted into the army for almost a month. ”

Bai Ze looked at the honest farmer, the old man was full of sadness, but he still smiled and said, "Alas, I should have been conscripted into the army and went to the front line of Weicheng with that adult." Unfortunately, before the war broke out, I was injured in my right leg by an iron rake while plowing the field, and my legs and feet were inconvenient. ”

"It's almost the end of the year, and there is still a war, alas!" the old man's wife also sighed, "But there is no way, our family is protected by the lord of the city, and according to the rules, each family will send one person from each family when conscription." A few days ago, I received a letter from my only son, saying that the war was tight, and that a fierce beast had suddenly appeared in the camp, which could devour gold and iron alive and cause a riot. Fortunately, one of the generals repelled the beast, but there were many dead and wounded in the barracks. ”

"Can you swallow gold and iron alive?" Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and then frowned. There are a lot of records of strange beasts that can swallow gold and iron in "Kyushu Strange Beasts", but I think of the rumors I heard in Heyang City before, saying that before winter, there was a big fierce beast in the field outside the Tiger Prison Gate, named Zhu Yan, and said that the strange beast that appeared in the Heyang camp was also this one?

It's just that I don't know if the prince and the county lord followed the Grand Duke Zhao Dun to the front line of Weicheng in this war.

"Now that it's bitterly cold, I just hope that the war can end sooner, and my son can come back as soon as possible to reunite with our family and spend the New Year together. The old man said.

"Jiren has his own natural appearance, so the old man doesn't have to worry. Bai Ze comforted.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Bai Ze said goodbye, rode out of the yard, and continued to hurry.

It's just that the sky is overcast and the cold wind is howling. The heavy snow that stopped last night is now falling again. Although the snow is not large, but with such a pile, Bai Ze's trip will undoubtedly be delayed again.

Needless to say, when Bai Ze saw that the outline of Heyang City finally appeared on the official road, it was already nightfall.

Now that the war is tight, Heyang City has long closed the city gates, and without a passage document, Bai Ze can't enter the city at all. In desperation, Bai Ze had to find an inn outside the city to deal with it for the night, and early the next morning, he was interrogated by the guards before entering Heyang City.

This time I entered the city, and the hustle and bustle of the previous time was gone. On the city road, the district steward is responsible for clearing the snow and piling it on the side of the road, but it does not affect the traffic. But the city road is sparsely populated, and there is already a sense of desolation.

"If you hear a hundred words, it is better to be one of the doers. Bai Ze sighed, rode a horse to the residence in the city, and said in his heart: "The war has started, and all industries have withered, but what he said is true. ”

But if someone is idle, someone will be busy.

In order to support the front-line warfare, the blacksmith shops in the city are working day and night to build weapons, swords, guns and bows, which are in great demand. In a short period of time, the large-scale siege equipment produced by the armory workshop in the city has also been hired by the centurion who was driven back from the front line yesterday and escorted to the front line of Weicheng.

The Pharmacist Pavilion was also busy treating the soldiers on the front line, and wave after wave of pharmacists were escorted by light horses from Heyang City to the Heyang camp.

At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce has also made new moves.
