Pan Daochang shook his head and replied, "I have also traveled to the Northland and dealt with the people of the Northland. Although the place is different, it is not as strange as this. ”

Jiang Chengzi nodded and said, "It seems that the vicinity of Heyun Town is really not peaceful. ”

"It's not peaceful. Although the world pays attention to the big hidden in the city. But in these turbulent years, many people chose to hide in the mountains. If you look at this deep mountain, no matter which mountain, it is not surprising that there are thousands of troops and horses. Pan Daochang looked at the vast night outside the window and said slowly.

The Taoist chief advised, and Ah Zhi remembered. Jiang Chengzi paused slowly.

Pan Daochang suddenly turned to look at her and said, "The ninth girl is the hope of turning the clouds, can you be more cautious in the future?"

Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Pan Daochang meant that she suddenly went to Shuiyundu today and that she was not well thought out, and it was likely that she would put herself in. She immediately apologized sincerely: "Let you worry, Ah Zhi is really guilty." We must be cautious in our future actions. ”

Pan Daochang nodded, and then took his leave to rest.

The autumn night was cold and cold, Jiang Chengzi rested, Xiao Jiu insisted on guarding the door, Jiang Chengzi persuaded him not to move, so he had to give up.

Lying on the bed and flipping, she couldn't sleep. For a while, I was thinking about how the Qiang people would deal with me, and for a while I was thinking about Li Ke, who was guarding in Chang'an, I didn't know how, and after a while, I remembered that my grandfather didn't know what to do, and those cousins didn't know if they would be sensible and go back to accompany my grandfather.

After turning over like this for a while, she still couldn't sleep after all, so she had to get up and meditate and adjust her breathing.

There was silence all around, only crickets chirping. Sometimes there are a few mournful night birds. Jiang Chengzi only felt that there was a kind of mystery around him, as if he was in the void, surrounded by bright stars. And he is also a member of the stars.

This feeling made her feel lighter and lighter, as if she could swim in the world.

But for a moment, she suddenly woke up and saw the wooden cabinet opposite the bed. Later, he heard that Xiao Jiu seemed to be unable to hold on and had fallen asleep against the door, breathing evenly and slightly.

Jiang Chengzi got up, took the thin quilt and tiptoed out the door. Cover it gently for Xiao Jiu. Xiao Jiu was so tired that he didn't even notice it.

Jiang Chengzi was standing beside him, and the moonlight in the sky was hazy. The cold and cold fell, and the cold autumn fell in a courtyard. Xiao Jiu's immature and young face was reflected in the moonlight.

She frowned slightly, and sighed in her heart: How young.

Then, she saw her little arms and legs. I laughed to myself. At this time. She could hear the sound of horses' hooves coming from the mountains far, far away, and was running in the direction of Heyun Town.

Heyun Town is not an important town, and such a thing as traveling late at night should not occur, let alone running horses late at night. In ancient times, there were no street lights, and the roads were in poor condition in the mountains, and there were still running horses, which was no different from driving blindfolded. It's a rhythm of death every minute.

Who is the person who is coming? Listen to that direction, it is from the direction of Jinyuan County.

It's close. As she got closer, the sound grew louder and louder, and she could even hear the horses' wheezing and neighing. Of course, the recent instability of the ability made Jiang Chengzi basically unable to judge how far away the person was from him.

Suddenly, the man reined in his horse, seemed to put it somewhere, and began to walk on his own. The man had been in such a hurry before, but now he was walking leisurely.

Who's coming?

Jiang Chengzi was slightly puzzled, Xiao Jiu, who was sleeping by leaning against the door, suddenly woke up, stood up with a "whoosh", looked at the sky outside the courtyard in a daze, and said, "Someone." ”

"Yes. Jiang Chengzi replied.

Xiao Jiu came back to his senses and found the thin quilt on his body, and the nine girls standing in a cloak and coat inside the door. His heart warmed, but he felt apologetic, and said, "I, I'm a little tired, I didn't expect—"

"Go back to the house and sleep. She said.

"I'm not sleepy, I'm not sleepy. Xiao Jiu stubbornly shook his head in emphasis.

Jiang Chengzi didn't dwell on this question much, and asked directly: "How far away do you hear about people?"

Xiao Jiu didn't answer immediately, but listened intently and said, "The footsteps of the people who came were too light, and it seemed to be nothing. However, according to this situation, if the other party is a top master, it will be at the entrance of Heyun Town. ”

It turned out that he had arrived at the entrance of the town, and I hope that the people who came did not come for themselves. Jiang Chengzi thought so in her heart, but she knew that this hope was very slim.

"Girl, the town is locked. This Heyun Town is a small town in the mountains, and it is close to the deep mountains, and there are many bandits. Therefore, Heyun Town must be locked as soon as it reaches the mountain, and Heyun Town is surrounded by tall city walls. If the man wants to come in, he will be afraid to go the wrong way. Xiao Jiu said.

Jiang Chengzi only listened, and didn't understand what Xiao Jiu's words meant. All she said was, "Wait and see." There is no need to preemptively strike, and the coming may not have anything to do with us. ”

"Hopefully. Xiao Jiu was worried, and the long sword was in his hand.

Jiang Chengzi just stood by the door, listening intently to the man's movements. The man seemed to have been standing somewhere for a long, long time, and even his breath was hidden, even if Jiang Chengzi's ear power was there, he could hear it as if it were nothing.

Xiao Jiu said a little impatiently: "I can't hear it, I can't hear it." ”

There was a slight panic in his impatient tone, probably because he was afraid that he would not know the whereabouts of the other party, and he would not be able to know himself and the other, so as to protect Jiang Chengzi.

"Don't worry, since you're here, you'll definitely show up. Go back to the house and wait. Jiang Chengzi comforted.

"No, I'm here to protect you. Xiao Jiu said stubbornly.

"You're here, and that person probably won't show up. Jiang Chengzi chuckled.

"Why?" Xiao Jiu didn't know why.

"You and I will not come in if we are petty thieves in this moonlight, we will not be embarrassed to come in if we are alone with you or me, and if the enemy sees that we are in full battle, we must also ponder whether there is an ambush around us, and I am afraid that we will not come in. Jiang Chengzi quipped.

When Xiao Jiu heard this, his face was hot, and he said, "What the ninth girl said is very true. It's just that Xiao Jiu is a rough person, with no relatives and no reason, and there will be no one who meets me alone late at night. As for you, don't joke like that. ”

Jiang Chengzi looked at Xiao Jiu's seriousness, sneered, hid his face and whispered, "I don't care about such vulgar etiquette." Besides, your son-in-law is not a peaceful person, last time, in the Yang Mansion, it was not that he didn't know the etiquette and ran around, even my eldest brother was not used to it, and he taught a lesson. ”

"That, that, son, he-" Xiao Jiu wanted to defend his son-in-law, but thinking about what his son-in-law did in the Yang Mansion was indeed very inauthentic, in his opinion, it was completely ruining the reputation of the ninth girl. If people who don't know hear about those things, they can't poke the nine girls in the back and scold.

Therefore, when Yang Xiaolangjun reprimanded his son-in-law, he completely stood on Yang Xiaolangjun's side, feeling that although there was only one son-in-law in this world who could match the nine girls, it was really inappropriate to enter and leave the nine girls' boudoir so desperately without any means.

"Childe, he can't help himself. Xiao Jiu finally said such a pale and weak sentence. (To be continued.) )
