Chapter 143: Yuning County
On the bank of the river, Li Maicheng, Prince Qinglan, and Chu Xiangnan were roasting on the fire to warm their bodies, and after roasting for a while, Prince Qinglan and Li Maicheng flew to the mouth of the Chiyan Cave, while Zhou Xiaotian, Chu Xiangnan, and Bai Ruoxue flew to the small mountain village outside Liangcheng.
Li Maicheng and Prince Qinglan flew to the mouth of the Chiyan Mountain Cave and found that two thousand heavenly soldiers were still waiting there, and Liu Junyan was also there.
Prince Qinglan said, "Heavenly soldiers, you can go back to the Heavenly Palace." ”
Those heavenly soldiers said in unison: "Obey, Your Highness the Crown Prince." ”
Then those heavenly soldiers flew away in the clouds and fog and flew back to the Heavenly Palace.
At this time, Liu Junyan said: "Brother Maicheng, who is this Royal Highness the Prince?"
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is Prince Qinglan, the prince in the Heavenly Palace. ”
Liu Junyan said: "I see, have you found the Heavenly Miao Halberd today? I see that this underground palace has collapsed." ”
Li Maicheng sighed and said, "Hey, let that Xing Jun dog thief escape." ”
Liu Junyan said: "Okay, then what should you do now when you come down and prepare?"
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Liu, you are a master detective, where do you think Xing Jun will flee to?"
Liu Junyan thought for a while and said: "In my opinion, I think Xing Jun will take the Miao Halberd to escape to any corner of the world and hide it, we won't be able to find it for a while, so we can only wait for that day when the Miao Halberd reappears in the rivers and lakes, and then track Xing Jun." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”
Liu Junyan said: "Brother Maicheng, what about the Kunluo Daoist?"
Li Maicheng replied: "The Kunluo Daoist has been hacked to death by us, and they are left in the underground palace. ”
Liu Junyan said: "Okay, Lian Shibi should have found it." ”
Li Maicheng replied: "I have found it, and it was taken by the Kunluo Daoist." ”
Liu Junyan said: "That's good." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Liu, then you convey it to General Huang, we will set off tomorrow, leave this Liangcheng, and continue to travel west, by the way, I have a good talent here Chu Xiangnan, and I hope that I can take refuge in General Huang in the future." ”
Liu Junyan said: "Okay then. Then I will definitely convey it, you can let Chu Xiangnan come, if General Huang doesn't take him in, I will take him in. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Brother Liu, thank you very much, there will be a period in the future." ”
Liu Junyan said: "Okay, Brother Maicheng, take care of yourself all the way west." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Prince Qinglan flew away in the clouds, and Liu Junyan also went down the mountain and went back to Liangcheng.
Li Maicheng and Prince Qinglan flew over the mountains, the world, and the villages, and flew in the night sky, and gradually arrived at the small mountain village outside Liangcheng and arrived at Xiao Tao's house.
At this time, Zhang Qian and Zhou Xiaotian were eating and drinking, and Li Maicheng and Prince Qinglan also came over and ate around the dining table.
Li Maicheng said while eating the dishes: "Prince Qinglan, Nine Heavens Xuannu, Qianbao Zhenren, you are the gods in the sky, this journey to the west, your Heavenly Palace has helped us a lot, we can go all the way to today, thanks to your help, then I will toast you today on behalf of the Han Mission." ”
Qianbao is really humane: "Maicheng, you're welcome, come and have a drink for all of us." ”
Then one by one they raised their bowls and drank bitterly.
After drinking, Prince Qinglan said: "Brother Maicheng, you have traveled all the way to the west and discovered the whereabouts of the Xuehua Sword and the Tianmiao Halberd respectively, so in the future, if you find the whereabouts of the holy weapon in the westward journey, then you must notify me." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, definitely, definitely." ”
Prince Qinglan said: "Okay, in the future, when you travel west and encounter difficulties, just look for our Heavenly Palace, and the people of our Heavenly Court will fully support you." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, thank you." By the way, there is one more thing, Prince Qinglan, you have a sweetheart. ”
Prince Qinglan said, "Maicheng, why are you asking this?"
Li Maicheng said: "The little peach girl is very good, and she looks like a fairy, she asked me to introduce you to her." ”
When Prince Qinglan heard this, he looked at the little peach girl and said shyly: "Little peach girl, it's very good, and she has been kind enough to entertain us these days." ”
The little peach girl blushed and said, "Prince Qinglan, I want to go to the Heavenly Palace, are you willing to take me?"
Prince Qinglan hesitated and said, "That's good." ”
At this time, Li Maicheng said with a smile: "Prince Qinglan, you promise the little peach girl, start with friends, get along first, what a good girl the little peach girl is, she is beautiful and kind, graceful, and the rice is well cooked, slim and elegant, and the country and the city are captivated, it can be said that it is the most beautiful flower in this mountain field." ”
Prince Qinglan said shyly: "Okay then." ”
At this time, Li Maicheng said to Chu Xiangnan: "Brother Chu, I have already told General Huang and Liu Junyan that you can take refuge in Liangcheng in the future." ”
Chu Xiangnan replied: "Okay, thank you Brother Maicheng, you have a heart." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Chu, you are polite, we are all friends." ”
In this way, after Li Maicheng and the others were full of wine and food, they fell asleep one by one.
After a night, at dawn the next day, Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian, and the soldiers of the mission rode their horses to separate from Qianbao Zhenren and Prince Qinglan, and continued to travel west.
And Prince Qinglan, Qianbao Zhenren, and Jiutian Xuannu returned to the Heavenly Palace with the little peach girl, and Chu Xiangnan returned to Liangcheng and took refuge with General Huang.
On that mountain road, Li Maicheng rode a horse while looking at the topographic map of the Western Regions, he looked at it and found that he had passed Liangcheng and walked westward, getting closer and closer to the Qiang Sea.
Li Maicheng then said to Zhang Qian: "Master, I see that we are getting closer and closer to the Qiang Sea, and the Qiang Sea is so big. ”
Zhang Qian said: "Yes, then we can take a boat when we get to the Qiang Sea." ”
At this time, Su Chengxuan said: "Master, senior brother, are you talking about the West Sea?"
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, the Qiang Sea is the West Sea, but I look at the topographic map, there are still a hundred miles of land." ”
Su Chengxuan replied: "Okay, there is the Dragon King of the West Sea living in the West Sea, and the Dragon King of the West Sea and my uncle the Dragon King of the North Sea are also relatives, and we can go to the Dragon Palace when the time comes." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, Senior Brother Chengxuan." ”
Zhang Qian's Han mission, a group of twenty people, rode horses, and traveled westward, rushing the road, they walked through fields, climbed over high mountains, passed through dense forests, and finally arrived at Yuning County.
After coming to Yuning County, Li Maicheng and his family rode horses, walked through the bustling streets, and found a place called Xiya Inn to stay.
Li Maicheng and the others got off the horse one by one, and handed the horses to the inn's junior two to let them be tethered. One by one, they entered the guest rooms of the inn and put their trays on them.
At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and Yuning County was extremely beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.
After Li Maicheng put the coil in the guest room, he took Bai Ruoxue's hand out of the Xiya Inn and went to the county seat of Yuning.
I saw that the lights of Yuning County were brilliant that night, and there were many pedestrians and businessmen on the street.
Bai Ruoxue walked to a rouge gouache shop and took a fancy to a box of rouge, she said to Li Maicheng: "Maicheng, I want to buy this." ”
Li Maicheng looked at it and thought that the rouge was very good-looking, so he asked the shopkeeper: "How much is your rouge, I want to buy two boxes." ”
The shopkeeper replied, "Two boxes of twenty five-baht coins." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
Then Li Maicheng paid twenty five baht to sell the rouge and handed it over to Bai Ruoxue.
Bai Ruoxue took the two boxes of rouge and said as she walked: "Maicheng, you are quite careful, and you know to buy a box for Senior Sister Xiqing." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Miss Xiqing doesn't hurt anyone, Senior Brother Chengxuan is an elm pimple, I don't know how it hurts, Miss Xiqing likes him so much, he still does."
Thinking about his ex-wife Lin Yixue. Hey, Senior Sister Xiqing is really bitter. ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, I also feel sorry for Miss Xiqing." What a good girl, but no one loves her. ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, let's not talk about them, and they're going to sneeze again." ”
Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay then." ”
They were just walking down the street, passing by a mutton steamed bun shop, and they stopped and walked in, eating the mutton steamed bun.
Li Maicheng asked for a pound of beef, two bowls of mutton steamed buns, and a pot of wine, and after a while, Xiao Er brought the rice.
Li Maicheng was drinking wine and eating mutton steamed buns at the same time, when suddenly he felt a swordsman sitting next to him staring at them all the time.
Seeing this, Li Maicheng said to the brother: "Brother, what do you look at, why do you keep looking at the two of us." ”
The brother said: "I am the demon hunter Zhou Yide, I see that there is a demonic qi nearby, and your table has the most demonic energy, I think there must be a monster among the two of you." ”
Li Maicheng said with a smile: "Brother Yide, in Xia Li Maicheng, I am also a demon slayer, why don't I feel demonic, you better eat your food, don't meddle with things." ”
Zhou Yide replied: "Li Maicheng, don't quibble, that demonic energy is coming from your table, you say you are a demon subduer, I think you are a monster." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Brother Yide, don't you spew blood, let's talk after eating for a while, don't delay us to eat this mutton steamed bun." ”
Zhou Yide replied: "Okay then, then I'll wait for you two." ”
Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue ate mutton steamed buns, drank wine, and ate the beef, and after they were full of wine and food, Li Maicheng settled the account and came out of this mutton steamed bun shop.
At this time, the demon hunter Zhou Yide had been following Li Maicheng and the others.
Li Maicheng immediately took out the Zhuying Sword and pointed at Zhou Yide, who was following behind, and said, "You go quickly, be careful that I'm not welcome." ”
The demon hunter replied, "I won't go, you two move quickly, there must be a monster among you." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Since you don't give up, then let's find a place where no one is there to compete." ”
Zhou Yide replied: "Okay, who is afraid of whom." ”
Then Li Maicheng, Zhou Yide and Bai Ruoxue came to the bank of the river in Yuning County, where there were no pedestrians and it was very quiet.
At this time, Li Maicheng said: "Brother Yide, then let's come to the competition, if you lose, you will leave, don't follow us." If you win, ask whatever you want. ”
Zhou Yide said: "Okay, draw your sword." ”
Then Li Maicheng pulled out the Zhuying Sword and fought with Zhou Yide.
That Zhou Yide really had two blows, Li Maicheng slashed a few times in a row, but Zhou Yide dodged it, and then Li Maicheng slashed at his head again, Zhou Yide blocked it with a sword, the sword was cut off directly, and Li Maicheng's sword was directly on Zhou Yide's neck.
Zhou Yide immediately begged for mercy and said: "Brother Maicheng, don't kill me, I am also ordered to do things, this Yuning County has recently been attacked by peacock essence, that peacock essence likes to pretend to be a beautiful woman, and then arrest the young and strong guy, arrest and suck blood, I just saw that the woman next to you is suspicious, so I was offended." ”
Li Maicheng immediately put down his sword and said: "Brother Yide, you are not good at learning, just these two times, even if you really encounter that peacock essence, you will be killed by the peacock essence." ”
Zhou Yide replied: "Brother Maicheng, I am just an ordinary demon hunter of our Qingyu Demon Hunting Sect, my martial arts are not very good, but my master's kung fu is high." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay then, where is your Qingyu Demon Hunting Gate, Zhou Yide, I have a chance to visit." ”
Zhou Yide replied: "Not far away, it's on the North Street of Yuning County, easy to find, if you go, you can report my name and say that it is my friend." ”
Li Maicheng said: "Okay, then you can go back." ”
Then Zhou Yide left, and Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue also went back to Xiya Inn.
