After one night, the next morning, when the sky was getting brighter, Li Maicheng woke up, he fed the horses, and then walked on the mountain.

Li Maicheng was walking on the mountain, and at this time Bai Ruoxue also came, and he said, "Ruoxue, are you up too?"

Bai Ruoxue said: "Yes, Maicheng, did you sleep well last night?"

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "I slept okay last night, what about you?"

Bai Ruoxue said: "Maicheng, I dreamed of a big python last night, it entangled me, tightly strangled me, I was strangled out of breath, I shouted for help, then you came, you took the shadow sword and cut off the head of the big python, saved me, and then I woke up, and when I woke up, I found out that it was a dream." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Well, I see, it's a nightmare." ”

At this time, the two of them walked hand in hand, and gradually walked to the halfway point of this small mountain village, at this time there was a pavilion here, and they entered this pavilion and sat down, and then the cloud city in the distance was in full view.

Bai Ruoxue looked at Nayun City and said in surprise: "Maicheng, look, Nayun City is so magnificent, it is full of splendid palaces, and the people here are too rich." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, then our mission will go to this cloud city today to have a look, see what is interesting and delicious, and by the way, we will also change the customs clearance documents." ”

Bai Ruoxue said: "Okay, Maicheng." ”

The two of them sat in the pavilion for a while, then walked down the mountain and returned to Qi Cangyu's house.

At this time, Qi Cangyu had already made breakfast, and the pumpkin porridge he cooked was also fried with eggs and stir-fried meat, stewed chicken with mushrooms, braised pig's trotters, braised beef, back to the pot meat, and fried mutton with beans.

Then Li Maicheng and Bai Ruoxue gathered around the table to eat the sumptuous dishes, and at this time, Qi Cangyu brought out a jar of good wine, took out a bowl and poured it for them to drink.

Li Maicheng took a sip of the wine in the bowl, it felt very strong and fragrant, and he said, "Brother Qi, this is really good wine, what kind of wine is it at this time?"

Brother Qi said: "Maicheng, this is Du Kang wine, which I bought from Yuncheng. ”

Li Maicheng said: "Brother Qi, then this is really good wine, by the way, didn't you say last night that you wrote a poem today? ”

When Qi Cangyu heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, then I'll have a song, I'll think about it first." ”

Then Qi Cangyu drank wine, scratched his head, and thought about poetry, and after thinking for a while, he sang: ""Dancing Sword", orchids are raining for ten miles, and the sound of frogs is heard in the dry grass cloud city. The orchid is full of affection, and the swordsman dances under the moon. ”

After Qi Cangyu finished singing, Li Maicheng exclaimed: "Brother Qi, your poems are so good, they are so meaningful, you are worthy of being a swordsman in Yuncheng, you are really talented." ”

Qi Cangyu immediately said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Brother Maicheng, you have won the award, you can also have a song." ”

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll do a song too." ”

Then Li Maicheng touched his head, thought for a while, and then sang: ""Westward Journey", don't blame Maicheng for his merits and fame, and travel to the Western Regions when it is dangerous. There are many demons and demons, and it seems to be a dream in the year. ”

When Qi Cangyu heard this, he immediately exclaimed: "Brother Maicheng, you are also very good, the poems you wrote are so good, come and do this bowl of our work." ”

Li Maicheng nodded and said, "Okay, Brother Qi." ”

Then Li Maicheng picked up the wine bowl and touched the bowl with Brother Qi, and then drank the Du Kang wine, and after drinking, he put down the bowl and ate the dishes on the table.

At this time, Brother Qi said, "Maicheng, are you going to go to Cloud City today?"

Li Maicheng said: "Yes, Brother Qi, we are probably going to leave today, we are going to enter Cloud City today, find an inn to live in, and we won't bother you." ”

Qi Cangyu immediately said: "Maicheng, you can stay for a few more days, and then let's go." ”

Li Maicheng said: "No, Brother Qi, thank you and Brother Yifan for your hospitality." ”

Qi Cangyu said: "Maicheng, you are polite. ”

As they were talking, a group of more than fifty Yuncheng soldiers rushed outside the door, and they saw that they were wearing heavy armor one by one.

They led into Qi Cangyu's house and said to Qi Cangyu: "Qi Cangyu, I am Wei Zetian, I asked you to go to the demon on the order of the city lord of Cloud City, and I encountered a squirrel spirit in the north of Cloud City.

Please go and help slay the demons. ”

When Qi Cangyu heard this, he immediately said, "Okay, obey the order, I'm going to follow you to Cloud City." ”

At this time, Wei Zetian saw so many people in this house, and saw that Wu Shitong looked like a rhinoceros, and then said, "Brother Qi, who are the people in your house?"

Qi Cangyu hurriedly said: "General Wei, they are the envoys of the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, passing by here, so they stayed with me for one night. ”

Wei Zetian said: "Brother Qi, why are there rhinoceros monsters among them?"

Qi Cangyu said: "General Wei, they are good people, don't be afraid." ”

Wei Zetian said: "Brother Qi, I was ordered by the City Lord of Cloud City to arrest the monsters when I saw them, and I didn't leave any of them." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he immediately said: "General Wei, I am Li Maicheng, we are really good people, you have misunderstood us." ”

General Wei said: "Li Maicheng, don't defend yourself, come with me." ”

Li Maicheng said: "General Wei, it's better to do this, we also have the mana to subdue those squirrel spirits, we are willing to go with you, but when we help you subdue the squirrel spirit, you will let us go." ”

General Wei said: "Okay, I'll escort you to Cloud City first, listen to the meaning of the City Lord of Cloud City, you can go back with us first." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay then." ”

Li Maicheng was talking, when Su Chengxuan, Koi Monster and Lin Yifan came.

General Wei saw that the head of the koi monster was also like a fish, and immediately said, "Qi Cangyu, why do you have so many monsters here?"

Qi Cangyu replied: "General Wei, you misunderstood, they are also soldiers of the Han Mission, they are good people." ”

General Wei replied: "Don't say it, come back to Cloud City with me, I will escort you to Cloud City and let the City Lord of Cloud City decide." ”

When Su Chengxuan heard this, he immediately drew his sword angrily and said, "Your tone is quite small, just a few dozen of you, you want to arrest us, it's too simple." ”

At this time, Li Maicheng immediately grabbed Su Chengxuan and said: "Chengxuan, don't be impulsive, let's go with them, don't conflict with them." ”

At this time, Su Chengxuan said: "Senior brother, we can't go, what should we do if we go and lock us up, that's Cloud City, heavily guarded, we went, and it would be miserable if we were arrested and put in the dungeon, and no one would save us." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Chengxuan, don't be impulsive, believe me, we will be fine." ”

At this time, Su Chengxuan gradually dissipated his anger and said, "Okay then." ”

Then Li Maicheng said: "General Wei, then our people will go with you, but if you go to Cloud City, you must ensure our safety." ”

General Wei said: "Li Maicheng, I'm sorry, I can't guarantee your safety, because in my Cloud City, there is an iron order, if you encounter a monster, you will be arrested and then cut down." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he immediately said: "General Wei, demons are also divided into good and evil, you are killing innocents indiscriminately, I want to see your Cloud City Lord and talk to him." ”

General Wei said: "Okay, then you can please." ”

Then Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian, Wu Shitong and the soldiers of the mission followed General Wei's men and horses to Yuncheng, and Qi Cangyu and Lin Yifan also followed.

They walked out of the small mountain village, then walked through the fields, walked through the mountains, and then crossed a river, and gradually came to the outside of Cloud City.

I saw that the majestic Cloud City was in front of me, and the city wall of the Cloud City was full of guards, and there were more than 20 tall towers outside the city wall, which were full of archers.

Seeing this, Li Maicheng rode on his horse and said to General Wei: "General Wei, your city wall is so well defended, what is this to guard against?"

General Wei said: "Brother Maicheng, our Cloud City is a big city, and we built this strong city wall to meet the needs of the war. ”

Li Maicheng said suspiciously: "General Wei, listen to what you mean, is there an army attacking the city?"

General Wei said: "Brother Maicheng, this is a secret, if you don't tell you, don't ask." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he was even more puzzled, but he couldn't ask anything, so he immediately said, "Okay, then let's go into the city." ”

Followed by him

A large group of people passed through the city gate and entered the city, and when they entered the city, they saw that the city was full of traffic, a piece of magnificent pavilions, the market was bustling, and the caravans came and went in an endless stream.

Li Maicheng rode his horse and said, "General Wei, your Cloud City is really big, and you have caught up with a small country. ”

General Wei said: "Yes, our Yuncheng is quite big, but our Yuncheng is not a country, but a Qiang tribe, and it is united with other Qiang tribes. ”

Li Maicheng said: "General Wei, I see, we have been to Shengyue City before, and there is also the Beauty Country, and they also belong to the Qiang tribe. ”

General Wei said: "Yes, Maicheng, those two city-states and we are brothers, but they have been working separately all these years, and there are fewer contacts. ”

Li Maicheng said: "I see. ”

A large group of them walked through the bustling streets, through the pavilions, and gradually came to the Cloud City Palace.

General Wei brought Zhang Qian, Li Maicheng, Wu Shitong, and Qi Cangyu to the main hall of Yuncheng Palace.

I saw King Yun, the lord of Cloud City, sitting on the throne on the throne of the main hall.

General Wei and Li Maicheng kowtowed: "His Royal Highness the Cloud King, Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

King Yun then said, "Get up." ”

Then General Wei, Zhang Qian, and Li Maicheng all got up.

At this time, Zhang Qian took out the customs clearance document and said: "His Royal Highness King Yun, we are the Han Dynasty's mission to the Western Regions, I am Zhang Qian, this is my Han Dynasty's customs clearance document." ”

King Yun immediately looked at Zhang Qian, and suddenly saw Wu Shitong, Koi Monster, and Giant Ape Monster standing beside him, he was startled, and then said angrily: "Come on, quickly arrest those monsters." ”

Then rushed over, and a dozen guards with weapons surrounded them.

Seeing this, General Wei hurriedly knelt down and pleaded: "Your Royal Highness King Yun, don't arrest them, they are demon slaying masters, and they are here to help us catch that squirrel spirit." ”

King Yun said: "General Wei, don't ask for mercy, now that the enemy is present, if they are the enemy's spies, we will be miserable, and those monsters must die today." ”

When Li Maicheng heard this, he had no choice but to take the Zhuying Sword and fly towards the Cloud King on the throne of the main hall, and then quickly put the sword on the Cloud King's neck and said, "Your Highness the Cloud King, quickly let your subordinates retreat, otherwise I will be welcome." ”

Seeing this, King Yun immediately said loudly: "You dare, you dare to be presumptuous in the main hall, come quickly." ”

At this time, the ministers standing in the main hall were stunned in front of them, they were at a loss, they didn't know what to do, and they didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that Li Maicheng would really kill King Yun.

Li Maicheng said: "His Royal Highness King Yun, you must pardon a few of them today, they are innocent, don't distinguish between good and evil." ”

His Royal Highness King Yun was a little scared at this time, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll release those monsters, but you have to help us subdue those squirrel spirits." ”

Li Maicheng said: "Okay, King Yun, in Xia Li Maicheng, but you have to keep your promise, don't let me take the sword away, you will go back on your word." ”

King Yun said: "Li Maicheng, don't worry, I won't." ”

Then Li Maicheng took the sword away, and at this time, more than 20 heavily armored guards of the Cloud King surrounded him.

At this time, Qi Cangyu walked out, and he said, "King Yun, stop quickly, don't arrest them, they are innocent." ”

King Yun said: "If he Li Maicheng commits a crime, he should be beheaded, and I will arrest them all today and execute them." ”

Qi Cangyu immediately said: "King Yun, don't, if you kill them, I will also apologize for my crimes, so that no one will subdue those squirrel demons." ”

When King Yun heard this, he felt a little dilemma, and then said, "Okay, but you must help me get rid of the squirrel demon in Cloud City, so that I won't hold them accountable." ”

Qi Cangyu immediately kowtowed and said, "Okay, His Royal Highness King Xie Yun." ”

King Yun then said, "Okay, let's all step aside." General Wei, you arranged for the soldiers of the Han delegation to live in this palace. ”

General Wei immediately replied, "Okay, King Yun, I'll do it." ”

Then General Wei took Li Maicheng, Zhang Qian, Wu Shitong, and Qi Cangyu to rest.
