The two middle-aged men look more dusty than Liu Yuanshan, one has a clean face and heavy eyebrows, the other has a thin jaw and a beard, the clean face man's cheeks are red and purple, and the thin man's lower jaw and beard are frozen together with a little white frost, each of them is carrying a burlap burden, and they are holding hot soup to warm their hands, and the thin man scolded: "Fart, those northern barbarians don't mess with you, and I will escape from Tianmen Pass?" I'm afraid that I won't be able to get to Xiongzhou City and freeze to death in this barren mountain and wilderness, I really shouldn't believe you, it's a big deal for him to enter the city in the north, and he will be happy, and he won't suffer this living crime. ”

The clean-faced man said hesitantly: "Hey, you are a person who has lost your conscience, at first you said that you were more concerned than anyone else when you left, but now you are complaining about me, if you are not afraid of death, you will go back, Lao Tzu will go by himself, and freezing to death is better than dying in the hands of which barbarians." ”

These two people were originally the people of Tianmen Pass, the two of them have known each other since childhood, and now they are over thirty years old and still have not asked for their mother-in-law, their parents died a few years ago, and the two old singles rely on each other to do some ridiculous things of drinking and visiting the kiln every day, a few days ago, the siege of the city in the north can frighten the two, and they escaped from the Tianmen Pass by packing up their valuables and softness, on weekdays, the two of them are one person who is full of food, the whole family is not hungry, and naturally will not bother to raise those who are rushing livestock, and now during the war, the price of horses has skyrocketed, and the two have spent a lot of money to buy two inferior horses, these two horses are pitiful, and they are slowly and leisurely, and the two have been out of Tianmen Pass for almost ten days, and they are still some distance away from Xiongzhou City, The two of them wanted to cry without tears when they thought of what happened along the way, and when they were lucky, they could catch up with a kind village family to take them in for one night, and if they were unlucky, they could only find a broken temple that leaked everywhere, and the two of them didn't even sleep for eight or nine days.

The thin man drank all the hot soup in his hand, and sighed: "It's all fucking here, where else can you go, what do you say is the chaos?"

The clean-faced man grinned and said: "Lao Tzu was convenient behind the tree just now, and I heard two passers-by say that there was a village in Hongyong Mansion that was slaughtered by a small group of people, and four or five big girls in the village were taken away, and it was very miserable anyway." ”

The thin man's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "The gate of heaven has broken the city?"

The clean-faced man shook his head and said, "It doesn't look like it, maybe it's still turned over from Fenbi Mountain." ”

"The snow is knee-high in winter, and it is extremely steep, even if it turns over, it is a team of people, let's go, why do you have to rush to Xiongzhou City today, these teams are not the most fucking thing, more than a dozen people come and go quickly, and we will die if we meet like this." After that, the two put down the soup bowl in their hands and threw four or five copper plates of soup money, rode on the inferior horses on the side, and slowly rushed to Xiongzhou City.

Liu Yuanshan looked at the direction in which the two of them were gone, and was stunned.

Chen Changge stretched out his hand and knocked on the tabletop and teased: "The little lady is scared again?"

Liu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and then put the soup bowl in his hand on the table, and said arrogantly: "I'm afraid of a fart, I'm afraid that I won't meet them, and I'll chop them up when I meet them." ”

Chen Changge didn't speak after listening, with a teasing smile on his face.

"Eh, what kind of smile are you?" Liu Yuanshan forcibly held back the sobs on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, and then his eyes fell on the Tinghan gun on the table, and asked, "Where did this gun come from?" ”

"The master gave it. ”

"Mr. Bai Seng is really a master, and he can take out such a treasure at will. ”

Chen Changge shook his head.

Liu Yuanshan exclaimed: "That crazy monk still has such a treasure? He can actually resist not exchanging this handsome spear for wine and drinking, it is really strange, it seems that I have to buy some good wine for the monk when I go back, and see if I can make some treasures." ”

Hearing his friend's words, Chen Changge smiled evilly and said, "Do you think his wine gourd is a treasure? ”

"Maybe, he doesn't leave that gourd day and night... Hey, you kid is getting more and more damaged now, and the crazy monk will hit me with a gourd in his hand, what do you mean by extremely painful?" Liu Yuanshan didn't react to the ridicule in Chen Changge's words before, but after reacting, he didn't get angry, and scolded, after scolding, Liu Yuanshan reached out and touched the Tinghan gun on the table, just for a moment, he let go of his palm with a pale face.

Just a moment of tentacle, a cold feeling swept through the whole body, the warm air nourished by the original two bowls of hot soup disappeared in an instant, and he shivered and asked the store for two more bowls of hot soup, and the originally heroic young man in black returned to the embarrassed appearance of holding his hands on his shoulders.

The two teenagers filled their stomachs, asked the store for two pots of spirits that could be used to warm up in winter, and headed for Tianmen Pass to board the horse.

Xiongzhou.

In the broken temple, Zhang Baiseng looked at the letter left by his apprentice and smiled, this kid was worried after coming back from going out with Liu Yuanshan yesterday, Zhang Baiseng taught Chen Changge for thirteen years, and he probably knew what was going on without thinking too much, and now there is no news about the son of the Xiang family joining the army. The news that the old member of the Xiang family was seriously ill spread all over Xiongzhou City, and with the character of his apprentice, he naturally would not stand idly by.

No, today's fourth watch Chen Changge sneaked out of the broken temple, although the voice is very small and tiptoeing, but how can these subtle thoughts be hidden from Zhang Baiseng, but Zhang Baiseng did not stop it, it is a good thing for young people to go out to practice and break through, and they can't always be in the palm of his and the monk's hands, right? If this bloody momentum is gone, the harm will outweigh the benefits.

The apprentice has been messing with Liu Yuanshan in Xiongzhou City since he was a child, although the market is not strong, but he is also transparent in dealing with some things, and he has traveled most of the world with himself when he was a child.

Zhang Baiseng stretched out his hand and filled in a few strokes in the letter, straightened his white feather crane clothes, closed the temple gate with both hands, and went out of the city.

Xiangfu.

Since yesterday, the Xiang family master is in a better state, the heart disease is like this, I want to see through it and get a little better, I want to open it completely, although I am worried about the safety of my son, but I have also put down a lot, the old man of the Xiang family just finished drinking the medicine and walked into the room dedicated to the Buddha statue, kneeling in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, grinding the Buddha beads in his hand, silently reciting the Buddha said Amitabha Sutra.

First, I prayed for my son who went to join the army in a foreign country.

The second is to seek some blessings for the two children who went to find the traces of their sons, hoping that the two will return safely.

Chen Changge and the two rode all the way forward, Liu Yuanshan was completely afraid of the oncoming wind and cold, the two did not gallop like in the morning, but rode their horses and galloped, and when they were tired, they slowly walked for nearly 100 miles.

The nearest to Xiongzhou City is about 270 miles of Hongyong Mansion, Hongyong Mansion is a small mansion city, the population of the people is not much, relying on summer farming for a living, now the war is raging, the people in the city also follow the trend and flee, the rest of the old and young, sick and disabled and not afraid of death of the rough men.

The two teenagers galloped for about 150 or 60 miles in the morning, and today there should be no accident that they should be able to rush to Hongyong Mansion before the curfew, and find an inn and wine shop in the city of Fucheng, where they can have a full meal and a quiet resting place, so as to recharge their energy so that they can travel tomorrow.

The two of them walked and stopped, seeing that they were only twenty miles away from Hongyong Mansion, it was still early at this time, and there was still some time before closing the city gate, it seemed that there was no need to worry about the residence today, and the thought of not having to stay overnight in the broken temple Liu Yuanshan felt happy for a while, and felt that it was not so cold, the two rode their horses very slowly, and it was best to have someone to accompany them when they were in a hurry, if they were alone and depressed, it would be enough for people to bear it.

"Help......

Chen Changge and the two walked to a dilapidated mountain temple, originally Liu Yuanshan still wanted to enter the temple to rest, and thought that it was not far from Hongyong Mansion, and there was a warm house and hot tea when they arrived at Hongyong Mansion, why should they freeze in this leaky broken temple, the two were just about to leave, and a woman's cry for help came from the broken temple, and the sound was extremely sad.

Chen Changge listened to the cry for help and stopped dragging the horse, raised the cold gun in his hand, his eyes were sharp, Liu Yuanshan reached out and stroked the long sword on his waist, Liu Yuanshan, who originally had two daggers hanging from his waist, felt that it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so he hid the two daggers in the leggings and found a sharp long sword to protect himself at home.

Liu Yuanshan muttered in a low voice: "Long song, more things are better than less." ”

"Let's go check it out. Chen Changge nodded, and then led the pioneer horse forward, and the two of them were only more than ten zhang away from the mountain temple, and there was a squeaky sound in the horse's hooves falling on the snow.

I don't know if I heard a sound outside in the temple, the dilapidated temple door that was originally closed was suddenly pushed open, and a meticulous young girl pushed the door out, the girl's complexion was a little dark, and her head was covered with blue and purple scars, and there were blood stains on the corners of her mouth.

As soon as the girl stepped out of the temple gate, before she landed, the bright tip of a knife more than an inch long came out of the girl's naked chest, and the blood on the girl's chest collapsed, spraying out and staining the ground with white snow.

"Stinky bitch still dare to run?" A rough voice sounded from behind the woman, the rough man drew his knife, and the blood stained the threshold of the mountain temple, the naked girl fell to the ground, her limbs twitched, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, the girl fell to the ground, and the rough man and the two young men on horseback looked at each other.

"Waste, did I let you get the pussy back and let you kill it? There was a burst of invective from the temple.

The rough man didn't answer, his eyes fixed on the two horseback riding boys outside the temple.

"What's the fucking ink, take the body back, and don't you take advantage of the heat?" the impatient voice in the temple sounded again.

"It's windy. The rough man whispered as if he were facing a great enemy.

There was a noisy sound in the temple, two or three burly men walked out of the temple gate with a simple knife, a light cyan shirt was messy, a strong chest was exposed, and a dark cyan wolf-headed young man on the right chest held a long sword, and his eyes were fiercely staring at the outsiders of the temple.

Chen Changge squinted, the spear in his hand was raised slightly, the young man with a wolf head tattooed on his chest was the boy in green shirts who rode a horse in Xiongzhou City that day, and the wolf head on his chest was the mark of the Beibi clan.
