Yangzhou can go to Lanling by boat by waterway, that is, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, but Gou San does not choose the waterway, time is the main reason.

It has been three days since I came down from Xianshan, and if I delay it for another day or two, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the Qingpeng double ape carriage that ran from Jinling to Beijing.

The green trees are green, the grass grows and the warbler flies, Zuo Quan comes back from fetching water from the small river, and under the green shade trees, Gou San holds a water bladder and slams the can, which looks so unhappy.

"Brother Zuo, this should be the boundary of Huainan, right?" Gou San squinted slightly, looking at the sunset in the west outside the forest.

"Let's go all the way along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, we can't be wrong, we have entered the boundary of Huainan, and an hour later it will be Huainan City. Zuo Quan also took a mouthful of clear spring, so he lowered his mouth.

From Yangzhou all the way to the horse, until now to do some simple rest, Li Daoji has long been unable to stand the hot ass, he has not given Gou Sanhao a good face halfway, and the sound of Amitabha Buddha is about to be read by him, this move also made Zuo Quan laugh, making fun of him not like a monk at all, without that calm look.

"Let's go, try to get to Lanling tomorrow morning. Gou San took the lead in getting on the horse, and when he saw Li Daoji's resentful look, he smiled and said, "Li Daoji, can your ass stand it?"

Li Daoji ignored it, kicked the bell and got on the horse, and in an instant the hot ass provoked him to grin his teeth, Zuo Quan snickered and threw a whip on his horse's ass, as fast as the wind, howling and drifting away.

"When you arrive in Huai'an, you have to stay..."Zuo Quan's voice fell, but he heard the sound of galloping horses' hooves in front of him.

The black-shirted young man came on horseback, and stopped ten steps in front of Gou Sanzuoquan, he jumped off the horse, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Third master, there are three thousand military armor on the official road thirty miles ahead." ”

Gou San squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "What's the trend?"

The young man's eyebrows were cold, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "The scout team has been investigating for a day, and there has been no abnormal movement, this army armor is the Huai'an City Defense Army, which is specially designed to collect the caravan property for the East Factory, and so far at noon today, the two caravans have been destroyed. ”

Zuo Quan trembled with anger, and his tightly clenched fist clicked.

"Can I take a detour?" asked after a moment's thought.

"You can go around to Suzhou. The young man nodded, and continued, "The trip will be delayed for a day." ”

"What does Big Brother Zuo think?" asked Gou San as he motioned for the scout to get up.

Zuo Quan calmed down after a while, and said: "Third master, although I can make a detour this time, my subordinates think this is a rare opportunity. ”

Brother Zuo elaborated. ”

"Third master, you think, there are tens of thousands of military armor in the territory of Lanling to protect the eldest lady, a radius of ten miles is surrounded by water, although two hundred howling tigers can tear a hole, but in that case, the casualties for the howling tiger will be too large, Huai'an is not far from Lanling and not close, according to the footsteps of the eldest lady, if there are variables in Huai'an's city defense, it will inevitably attract the attention of the capable people around Li Mufeng, and then the army will definitely be divided to investigate, and the Xiaohu can break it one by one at the smallest cost, and then disintegrate Li Mufeng's military strength. Zuo Quan picked up a branch and drew this simple terrain on the dirt floor, while explaining his thoughts to Gou San.

Zuo Quan said very carefully, Gou San understood as soon as he heard it, what he meant was to use the three thousand Huainan city defense troops to attract the military power around Li Mufeng, come to kill one battalion, and when he arrived in Lanling, he would also be able to add more opportunities for himself to see Ning Huanhuan, and he would also be able to minimize the casualty rate of Xiaohu.

"What is the reputation of Huainan City Defense?" Gou San looked at the scout and asked.

"The people are angry. ”

"Then follow Brother Zuo's methods and kill them all. Gou San said indifferently.

"Yes!" the black-shirted boy leaped up, kicking up clouds of dust.

Under the setting sun, the three thousand guards of Huai'an City in Huainan Prefecture were all pierced through the throat with one arrow, and two hundred black-shirted teenagers did not stay in Huai'an City.

Two hundred miles north of Huainan City.

The green mountains are green, the scenery is pleasant, and the morning light evaporates the mist that has been bred in the valley all night, rippling on the mountains and rivers, like a vast cloud waterfall.

The green mountains and the green lake, the water and bamboo ripple in the wind and waves, there are several spacious and tall tents set up on the edge of the lake, a double ape green tent is parked on the edge of the small lake, a very beautiful girl sits quietly by the lake, her eyes are like water, but whenever she looks, she can't help but linger for a moment on her slender body.

To say that the only thing she feels about touching the sea of suffering is the three thousand white hairs that she pulled very delicately.

She was dressed in a pale white dress, quietly and beautifully bathed in the morning warmth.

After a while, the tent not far behind her lifted the curtain, and a handsome and majestic man walked out slowly, he was dressed in brocade and his posture was graceful and luxurious, and his black eyes were as sharp and deep as electricity.

He took the tea tray brought by the maid, with a small bowl of porridge and a few stacks of delicate side dishes, and waved the maid away towards the shadow who was sitting quietly by the lake.

"Jinxuan, why don't you sleep for a while. The handsome man came to the girl's side, smiled and whispered, and then said: "All the way around, you have lost a lot, this is the elixir porridge that I specially ordered someone to bring from the imperial capital quickly, come, taste it." ”

The girl is Ning Huanhuan, and the handsome and richly dressed man is Li Mufeng, the grandson of Li Xuan, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Ning Huanhuan watched the lake quietly, knowing that if he didn't take the small porcelain bowl handed over by Li Mufeng, he was afraid that he would just keep holding it, so he had to politely thank him, take the small porcelain bowl and take a few sips before putting it back into the tea tray.

And Ning Huanhuan's indifference did not make Li Mufeng feel too disgusted, but it was Ning Huanhuan's coldness, which made him more and more inspired his fighting spirit.

Li Mufeng smiled warmly and said, "I'll eat some when I'm hungry later, I've ordered someone to be there at any time." ”

"It's been a long journey, and I've suffered you. Li Mufeng sat down on the grass, although his status was noble, he was very easy-going in front of Ning Huanhuan.

The cool breeze blew across the lake, messing up the hair on the ears, Ning Huanhuan Yu's hand was lightly pulled, and a very small number of words were revealed, "I have never appreciated the Daming rivers and mountains, and I am fortunate until today, so why not say that there is no suffering." ”

"Hehe, I have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, even I haven't been full, it's a pity. Li Mufeng said with a smile: "I was fortunate to see my Daming mountains and rivers in my father's study, and I knew what a frog dwelling at the bottom of the well was. ”

"I am a great Ming thing Hua Tianbao outstanding people, the north is pregnant with a vast sea of grass, the west has exotic customs, the south is adjacent to the Bodhisattva Temple, and the east is Qiongxi ups and downs. After Li Mufeng finished speaking, the corner of his eyes stayed on Ning Huanhuan's concave and convex slender posture, and looked at her expression lightly.

It's a pity that Ning Huanhuan's face is as cold as ever, like a 10,000-year-old glacier, and it has not melted for half a minute.

Li Mufeng suddenly recalled a sentence that Li Xuan had unintentionally said when he left Beijing, "Just wait for the glacier to melt, and the thousands of rivers and mountains will only be you", and the smile that gradually submerged bloomed again.
