Huang Jian and the others hurriedly thanked them, and one of them picked the most edge of the pond and swallowed it

Fang Ling also picked two plants, one was given to Xiao Xue, and the other was stuffed directly into his mouth, and the silver light grass melted in his mouth, forming a warm current into his body, Fang Ling only felt that this warm current was divided into two, which were absorbed by fire and ice respectively, but after a while, the strength in his body was much more abundant, and the internal injuries after the battle with the fierce beast just now were actually a lot better.

When the warm current gradually disappeared, Fang Ling sighed lightly and stood up, at this time, Huang Jian had already finished digesting, and shouted happily: "Your Highness, the grass people's hands feel more strength. ”

Meng Zhiyuan pulled up the horse, took a deep breath, and suddenly punched out, smashing the tip of a stalactite stone that protruded from it, and then said ecstatically: "This silver light grass is simply a divine thing, and the grass people seem to have really practiced for more than ten years, that is...... It still hurts a little to hit the rock. ”

Fang Ling laughed, and walked down the pond again, preparing to pick a few more plants and give them to his mother and master, and then leave some more, which can be regarded as leaving them for future generations.

At this moment, Xiao Xue, who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her skills, opened her eyes and reminded: "The silver light grass picked up must be placed in your 'medicine' ding, and it must come into contact with metal substances in order for it to maintain its 'medicine' effect. ”

Fang Ling nodded, first untied the 'Medicine' Ding from his back, and then put the silver light grass he had picked into it and covered the Ding.

However, he didn't notice that when the silver light grass fell into the "Medicine" Ding, strange patterns appeared on the originally dark "color" inside the "Medicine" Ding, which were similar to the lines that appeared on the palm of the palm at the beginning.

After taking the Silver Light Grass, the strength of the four people was sufficient, and they continued to move forward, and they didn't know how long they walked, and finally reached the end of a mountain road.

Fang Ling walked to the edge and looked, the location of this cave was actually born on the cliff, looking down is the abyss, the opposite bank is a cliff, and the bottom is the rolling river, but when you look up, the place five or six meters high is the top of the mountain, and there are thick vines hanging down.

After the fight with the fierce beast just now, even Meng Zhiyuan's courage was much greater, after Xiao Xue took the Silver Light Grass, she had enough strength, so she naturally refused to let Fang Ling help again, otherwise wouldn't she let him carry it up the mountain?

The four of them followed the vines to the top of the mountain, drinking around, as if waking up from a nightmare, when the sunset slipped down, and the red light reflected on their faces, and they were suddenly happy.

Meng Zhiyuan discerned it a little, and then clarified the direction of going to Pingtan Pass.

Finally, in the evening of the next day, the four of them rushed to Pingtan Pass.

The majestic Pingtan Pass, is the second pass to the stone city, there is a turbulent Wujiang River outside the city, non-big ships can not pass, once crossed, to the opposite Wuxian, is officially into the northern boundary.

Pingtan Pass is guarded on the edge of the Wujiang River, not only with the army, but also with naval forces and warships, whether it is combat power, number or equipment, it is higher than Qingshui Pass.

The tall city gate stood majestically, and the soldiers defending the city looked serious one by one, and from time to time asked someone who entered the city to stop for inspection, especially the carriage and goods were strictly checked.

If it weren't for Fang Ling's sign that he had entered the city carved at the door, he might have also asked his mother and his party to have entered the city.

This mark is a code word that only the palace guards know, and it is changed every six months, and the code of each team is also different, and it cannot be known to people who are not on the same team, so Fang Ling does not know the source of this mark.

Hearing Fang Ling say that he actually wanted to sneak into the city, Meng Zhiyuan was puzzled and said, "Your Highness, wouldn't it be better for us to go in openly?"

Fang Ling thought about it, and then told the queen mother about the assassination, which could be regarded as giving Huang Jian and the others a bottom in their hearts.

Huang Jian was furious when he heard this: "What kind of queen is this, what kind of mother is the world, she actually sent someone to hunt down and kill His Highness!"

Meng Zhiyuan exclaimed again and again: "It turns out that His Royal Highness arrived in Zou County like this, I didn't expect the queen mother to be so vicious, but we entered the city in front of everyone, could it be that this guard still dares to be unfavorable to us, if His Highness really has three longs and two shorts, how can he escape from the involvement?

Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "What is outside Qingshui Pass?"

"Official. Meng Zhiyuan replied without hesitation.

"Then what is outside this Pingtan Pass?"

"Wujiang. ”

Fang Ling smiled lightly: "Yes, the water of Wujiang ♀ and Wujiang is turbulent all year round, even in this winter, and the water level is lower in winter, the reef at the bottom of the river is more dangerous, it is said that there will always be a merchant ship here every winter that hits the reef and sinks∫ not to mention what faction the guards of this Pingtan Pass are, whether they are on the side of this king, as long as they know the news that we have entered the city, He Bao They will definitely do something on the merchant ship, once they enter the river, something happens, do you think we can return safely?"

When these words came out, Huang Jian and the others sighed in surprise, although the two of them had a warm blood, but after all, they were not as experienced as Fang Ling, and they were too immature.

But it was precisely because of this that Fang Ling trusted them so quickly, if they were really old and sophisticated, then they would have to be put to the test.

Next, several people discussed and decided on a plan to enter the city.

For the sake of safety, it was natural to enter in batches, Fang Ling and Meng Zhiyuan entered the city together, dressed as Orion, and Huang Jian and Xiao Xue, who was dressed as a man, entered the city together, pretending to be a runner.

As soon as the guards saw the four of them dressed like this, their vigilance naturally relaxed a little, and when they asked, because Meng Zhiyuan and Huang Jian were both from the vicinity of Zou County, their accents were naturally not the official dialect of the imperial city, so they passed very smoothly.

When entering the city, Fang Ling suddenly found that next to the guards in the city, there were several soldiers with somewhat different military uniforms, compared to the guards at the city gate, these soldiers were more robust, their eyes were very sharp, and they were dressed as elite soldiers.

You must know that although the military uniforms and armor of each fortress are in a unified format, there are some differences in some subtle places, such as the color of the scarf, etc., Fang Ling almost recognized at a glance that these soldiers were from Qingshui Pass, so they must be He Bao's subordinates.

His heart sank, the most troublesome thing may have happened, that is, He Bao did not guard himself outside Pingtan Pass, so he entered the city first, and looking at them like this, it seems that they have obtained the permission of the Pingtan Pass guard, otherwise it is impossible to appear at the gate of the city.

Fortunately, it was evening, and the light was not very clear, and the two of them were accompanied by Huang Jian and the two of them to block their vision, and they narrowly passed the test.

According to the signs in the city, Fang Ling quickly found a private house, knocked on the door with a code of three long and five short, and soon the door opened, revealing Dong Canghai's figure.

As soon as he saw Fang Ling, Dong Canghai immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Huang Jian and Meng Zhiyuan vigilantly, but he didn't ask more.

Huang Jian and Meng Zhiyuan were secretly taken aback by these sharp eyes, and hurriedly followed Fang Ling into the courtyard.

"Ling'er. Su Shi had already walked out of the living room when he heard the knock on the door, and he breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Ling was fine.

"Mother, you go and rest, everything is fine with me. Fang Ling smiled, seeing that his mother was a little tired.

Su Shi beckoned to Xiao Xue and said, "Miss Xiao will come with me, by the way, how about telling me about what happened along the way?"

Xiao Xue nodded, and when she passed by Fang Ling's side, she saw that he seemed to be about to admonish, so she said lightly: "I know what to say, I won't let your mother do." ”

Fang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and laughed in a low voice: "I didn't expect you to be quite understanding." ”

Xiao Xue glanced at him, didn't speak, and followed Su Shi to the backyard.

As a result, there were only a few people left in the living room, including Xia Ling, Dong Canghai, Chen Mou, Huang Jian and Meng Zhiyuan, and the six guards were scattered in various parts of the house.

After sitting down, Fang Ling first introduced Huang Jian and Meng Zhiyuan to a few people.

When Huang Jian and the others heard that one of them was a physician and the other was the deputy commander of the guard, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Chen Mou helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite, as soon as we leave the palace, we are already unofficial, and everyone is a person around His Royal Highness, so this gift will be waived." ”

Seeing that Chen Mou didn't have a frame at all, Huang Jian and the others suddenly relaxed a lot, and sat back in their positions with a smile.

Then, Fang Ling told the story of what happened along the way, where did Dong Canghai and the others expect that so many things would happen after they separated, and they couldn't help but sigh.

After listening, Dong Canghai said angrily: "I really didn't expect Wei An to be so vicious and secretly follow him." ”

Chen Mou 'touched' his chin and said, "I have heard that this Wei An made many of our generals suffer when he guarded the border of Cai State, and now it seems that he is really a scheming person." However, His Royal Highness is blessed with good fortune, fortunately safe and sound, and when he sees him again in the future, I am afraid that Wei An will also be frightened. ”

Fang Ling smiled faintly and said, "I will have to settle this account with him sooner or later." Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said, "Master, I see that the city gate is very strictly checked, how did you get in?"

Dong Canghai replied: "Thanks to the method that Lord Chen thought of, when we arrived outside the gate, we saw that the city gate was searched so strictly, and it was also very safe to enter the city. Fortunately, Master Chen came up with a way, and we first found a farmer outside the city, and he delivered grain and the like to the city every day, and it was a few carriages at a time, so we stuffed things into the carriage and came in safely. Then I spent a lot of money to find a private house to rent, and the tenant happened to be far away, so it was very safe here. ”

Fang Ling smiled slightly: "With Lord Chen here, there is really a lot less trouble, but it seems that there are also many crises in this city." ”
