Yizhou is a key place to rush out of the west, and it is a battleground for soldiers in wartime. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHundreds of miles away, under the journey of Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin day and night, it will be there in a few days.

At noon today, the two of them had arrived at a place only thirty miles away from Yizhou City, and they did not find any trace of the imperial army advancing along the way, and passers-by also speculated that they did not know.

It seems that only after arriving at the city of Deyizhou can we inquire whether there have been any troops marching here in the past few months.

The two of them stopped at the tea shop on the side of the road and ate some pancakes and fruits that they had brought with them. At this time, seven or eight men riding strong horses and swords galloped from behind, led by a bearded man, this person is very majestic, thick eyebrows and big eyes are not angry and self-righteous, when passing by the tea shop, the man who is the leader turned his face to look at Zhou Ruolin, crooked his mouth and smiled, but he did not stay for a while and passed the tea shop and went straight to the direction of Yizhou City.

Zhou Ruolin saw the man at the head smiling at him, his face suddenly sank, and he muttered, "I look confused." What a wage! ”

Li Tianqi said: "Okay, people just glanced at you, so why bother to be bored." ”

Zhou Ruolin glanced at him and said, "Then you think he is a good person." ”

Li Tianqi said: "I didn't say that. In order to prevent her from continuing to dwell on this topic, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, check out." He clapped his hands and put two pennies on the table, and got up to leave.

The shopkeeper hurriedly shook his hands and said, "Guest officer, my tea here is not cheap, a bowl of three pennies." ”

Li Tianqi was stunned for a moment and said, "This water is also so expensive? ”

The shopkeeper said: "The guest officer doesn't know, even the river to get water here needs to pay taxes, and the small ones are just small trades......

Li Tianqi reached out and touched the money bag, stacking out more than a dozen copper plates, "I'll give them all to you." ”

"Ouch. Thanks, guest officer. The shopkeeper laughed busily.

Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin turned around and left.

Zhou Ruolin said with a smile: "It seems that there is a great shortage of water in this part of the Western Regions, otherwise how could you even pay taxes for taking water?" ”

Li Tianqi said: "Maybe someone is filling their own pockets." ”

The two walked for five miles, and came to a mountain col, where three large mountains were sandwiched in a zigzag shape on the winding road, and the road was hidden by the dense jungle, and the road was changed from a flat and straight road with a wide view.

The entrance to the road was full of horseshoe prints stretching all the way forward, and the men must have traveled from here.

The two of them walked in for a while, although it was a mountain col, but it was a dense jungle, and there was no wind, both of them felt a little depressed, at this moment, Li Tianqi found that something was wrong, and his steps couldn't help but gradually slow down.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ruolin noticed that he was different.

Li Tianqi looked at the bushes on the side vigilantly, and said softly: "Do you see that there are still horseshoe prints on the road at this time?" ”

Zhou Ruolin heard the words and looked, sure enough, the road under his feet did not have the horseshoe prints that Fang Cai saw before entering the forest, and the geology here is the same as Fang Cai, they are all dirt roads, and they are covered with a thin layer of dust, not to mention that there is a group of horses, even if a child steps on it, it will leave footprints, but there are only sparse footprints here, which must be occasional passers-by.

It can also be seen from this road that there are not many passers-by these days.

"I'll just say it, those people must not be good people. When they entered the woods, they must have done something bad. Zhou Ruolin said coldly.

"It can't be an ambush for us, is it?" Li Tianqi remembered the look on his face when the man in charge suddenly laughed at Zhou Ruolin, to be honest, it really made him feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Ruolin sneered: "Okay, girl, I'm worried that no one will fight." ”

"Let's look back and see when the horseshoe prints are gone." Li Tianqi didn't wait for Zhou Ruolin's answer, and had already turned around and walked back.

Zhou Ruolin knew that he liked to study, so he had no choice but to nunu and follow him.

The two walked back dozens of feet, and found the place where the horseshoe prints had first disappeared, and there was a large dark green grass on the right side of the road, and the dust stained by the horses' hooves also left dozens of speckled marks on it. Needless to say, the gang must have turned into the woods here.

"It's as if they're not here for us. Otherwise, we would have been attacked in the place where we were just now. Li Tianqi raised his eyes to look into the depths of the meadow, but only three feet away, his vision was obscured by the forest and many human-tall ferns.

"Let's go." Li Tianqi beckoned Zhou Ruolin to continue to follow.

"Still going? Let's hurry to Yizhou City. Although Shi **** wastes my spiritual power, but since you want to know where they are going, then I can just summon one or two birds and beasts and ask to know the situation? Zhou Ruolin realized that those people were not ambushing them at this time, so she lost interest and didn't want to go any further.

"Didn't you say they weren't good people? Maybe this group of people is doing murder for a living, let's go and see, so we can do chivalrous deeds. Li Tianqi said: "Besides, judging from the traces here, they have already dismounted, it seems that they are nearby, you don't have to waste any spiritual power." "With that, the ferns and weeds that had been entangled together had been swept away and disappeared into the forest.

"It's fine." Zhou Ruolin shook her head and hurriedly followed.

As soon as they walked into the grass, the two of them heard the sound of horses snorting not far away.

The two of them subconsciously bent down and lowered their heads, trying not to let their movements make noise in the grass, and gradually approached the places where the sound was made.

As we got closer, the weeds here were clearly showing signs of being trampled on, and some of the flowers and plants had broken their stems. Suddenly, a healthy horse poked its head into its head from that side and was about to look for grass to eat, but it saw two people coming this way, it shook its head with a snort, ignored it, and lowered its head to eat the tender grass below.

Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin had already seen those horses scattered on the forest land through the gaps in the grass at this time, and the reins were not tied, but there was no trace of the men. This made Li Tianqi and Zhou Ruolin feel a little unbelievable. This place is already quite far from the road, what are these men doing in this remote place with their horses?

Is it impossible to dig up any treasures? Zhou Ruolin thought for a while and didn't think of anything, and at this time, Li Tianqi had already stood up from the grass, pushed aside the weeds, and walked out there.

Zhou Ruolin flashed and followed him out to a slightly wide place.

It is relatively flat and devoid of flowers and grass, almost bare in the mud. Those healthy horses were domesticated by man, and they had long been domesticated and docile, and they did not panic when they saw someone else coming out of the grass, but only waved their horse's tail slightly and moved some distance.

"What the hell are these people doing here? If we were the villains, we would have been able to sell them for a lot of money if we had taken them secretly, and they might not have known who had stolen them. Zhou Ruolin said with a smile.

"It seems that things are not simple, you see they haven't even taken off their bags, except for the weapons they carry with them, everything else should be on horseback." Li Tianqi stretched out his hand and pointed to the horses.

"Hmm. I just didn't see people, but I didn't expect you to see these things, and sure enough, you have a unique vision. Zhou Ruolin praised, she paused, and then asked, "Are they suddenly going to enjoy the beautiful scenery here?" Or do you have a bad stomach? ”

"What's there to enjoy here?" Li Tianqi shook his head and said, "Even if it's convenient, it's not so coincidental that it's always together, right?" Unless you eat a bad stomach at the same time, and have a seizure at the same time...... However, even if someone poisons them, but the individual physique is different, and the kung fu cultivation is different, there are always differences, and it is impossible to be together, not to mention that it is a little far away here. I'm wondering, will it be ......"

Zhou Ruolin waited for a while, but didn't listen to what he said, so she hurriedly said, "Can you speak more simply?" Could it be anything? ”

Li Tianqi suddenly found a fallen chrysanthemum on the outside side of this place, and the traces of the chrysanthemum must have been stepped on by a big foot, so the direction in which the chrysanthemum fell was the direction in which the group left.

He waved his hand and said, "It is also possible that someone deliberately lured them into the woods, go." Let's go and see. ”

"You're saying someone is setting up an ambush here?" Although Zhou Ruolin felt a little mysterious, it was not unreasonable.

The two of them continued to weave through the woods and grass, and saw some trampled marks ahead, and it was obvious that the direction in which the two of them were moving was the direction in which the group had left, otherwise they would not have left such traces.

Suddenly, a melodious sound of the guqin sounded not far away, just for a moment, Li Tianqi's heart couldn't help but be shocked, that melody he would not forget, it was the song that he had heard played by the Lei Yan Toad Mother in the pavilion of the Ziyun Taoist Temple.

Could it be her? Lei Yan Toad Mother is actually here? Li Tianqi remembered what the bloodthirsty Holy Aunt had just said a few days ago, although he thought it was strange at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that it was possible. Back then in Lotus Mountain, wasn't it Lei Yan Toad's mother who took the initiative to show up and take herself and Lu Linlang to the grotto? Although he was almost trapped in the end, he at least met his mother.

"Quick!" Zhou Ruolin knew that there was something wrong in front of her when she heard the sound of the piano, and immediately took Li Tianqi's hand and brought him up.

But they were still too late, and the seven or eight men collapsed to the ground in a fan shape, all of them undressed to reveal their chests, their faces were pale, their eyes were closed, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding, but their expressions were full of smiles, and there was no sign of pain.

The man who was the leader looked like he was smiling with a cracked mouth, and his coat was discarded and shirtless.

The weapons that the group had brought with them were also thrown into a pile and piled up on the grass in a haphazard manner.

Zhou Ruolin glanced at it, couldn't stand it anymore, and turned her head to the other side.

"That's right, it's her masterpiece. It seems that this beautiful wicked evil is here again. Li Tianqi said thoughtfully.

"A beautiful demon? Who is she? Zhou Ruolin raised her eyebrows, looked at Li Tianqi and asked coldly.
