As the name suggests, Hengjiang Castle is a big city lying by the river.

The river flows eastward, and you can see pieces of white sails on the river in the distance.

Bai Ling grew up and saw a big ship for the first time, and he stood on the carriage excitedly and couldn't stop looking.

The rest of the team was used to this, and no one paid attention to it.

Not far away, the young knight who had been observing Gao Zhengyang and Bai Ling saw an opportunity. He pretended to ride a horse inadvertently to Bai Ling's side, and said: "Hengjiang City is known as a thousand sails a day, and water transportation is extremely developed. Merchants from the south to the east almost all of them will transfer here by water......"

The young knight is quite handsome, but he is exposed to the wind and sun every day, his skin is dark, and he has a charlatan. Because of this, he looks sophisticated and natural.

Gao Zhengyang doesn't like to talk much, and he rarely chats during the long journey except for teaching Bai Ling's cultivation and some principles of life. The long journey of more than a month also made Bai Ling, who was lively, suffocated.

The young knight didn't look like a good thing, but it was always good to have someone to talk to.

"You know ......"

Bai Ling glanced at the young knight and replied casually.

The young knight smiled: "I often come with caravans, of course I know. I've also traveled further south with the fleet. The air in the south is humid and warm, and the products are abundant and the population is large. In comparison, Hengjiang City is also a bitter cold place. ”

"South, is it fun?" Bai Ling listened to what the young knight said so well, and his heart became a little more curious.

The young knight thought for a moment and said, "Fun is fun, but the south is extravagant and expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it. ”

Speaking of which, the young knights were a little sad. He followed the caravan like this for half a year, and the money he received was not enough to wander in the prosperous land of the south for three days.

It was precisely because the south was too extravagant that he did not dare to stay for a long time. Once in a while, you will regret it for a long time when you come back.

However, this time, as long as you catch Gao Zhengyang and send it to the Ten Thousand Swords League, you can get three thousand taels of silver. That's a lot of money. He had to work hard for ten years without eating or drinking.

Mo Yuan and Mo Qi were killed, and the Mo family was greatly annoyed. After checking for a long time, Gao Zhengyang was not found, so he could only issue a high reward.

The Ten Thousand Swords Alliance is a very large organization in this area, because monsters are rampant, ghosts and gods are in power, and remote areas are basically in a state of one city and one country.

Only a powerful force organization like the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance can use a small amount of elite force to deter dozens of cities and maintain a superficial management.

In fact, this kind of management is also very inefficient and does not have too much authority. However, even in name of management, the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance is the most powerful organization in the region.

As the most important water transportation hub, Hengjiang City is an important city under the direct jurisdiction of the Wanjian League. The top and bottom of Hengjiang City are all people from the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance.

The young knight was just a little worried, the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance was powerful, and he might not be able to cash in on the reward when the time came. However, you must always catch Gao Zhengyang first.

There is still some distance from Hengjiang City, and there are so many people in the convoy, once the news leaks, the situation will be difficult to say.

The young knight felt that he had become acquainted with Gao Zhengyang first, and then looked for an opportunity to do it after entering the city. Others don't suspect anything either.

In the end, the young knight is the one who travels from south to north, although he is not very capable of talking, it is still more than enough to chat with Bai Ling.

The two chatted for a while, and the young knight saw that Gao Zhengyang had never said a word, his eyes were half-closed and half-open, and he looked like he was asleep. But sitting in the back of the carriage is very secure.

The young knight couldn't help but say, "This friend, I don't know what to call it?"

Gao Zhengyang opened his eyes and looked at the young knight, his pure and profound gaze made the young knight awe-inspired, and the smile on his face immediately froze.

"Who are you?" Gao Zhengyang knew that there was a problem when he saw the other party's expression, not to mention, the other party had been secretly observing them in the past two days.

You don't have to think about it to know that this person has bad intentions. For such a person, Gao Zhengyang is not interested in hypocrisy and politeness.

Although the young knight had some experience, he was pressed by Gao Zhengyang's momentum, so he instinctively lowered his head and replied honestly: "My name is Tong He." ”

"Oh. ”

Gao Zhengyang asked again: "Are you from Tongcheng?"

"Yes. ”

Tong He faced Gao Zhengyang, and he didn't know why he was weak in his heart, and he would answer whatever the other party asked.

"I still have something to do, you go back first, and talk when you're free." Gao Zhengyang asked two sentences to know, and the other party must have recognized him.

He has lived in Tongcheng for more than two months, and he also goes out often, and many people know him. After all, a handsome man like him is rare in a bitter cold place.

Especially the men there are weathered and look very old and rough. His body was from the Immortal Dragon Emperor Divine Body, and his skin was delicate and smooth like ivory. This distinct skin tone feature makes him very recognizable.

Gao Zhengyang didn't deliberately hide it, and it was not surprising that he was recognized by the people of Tongcheng.

The illusion of the White Fox Clan can only be temporarily concealed, and it is easy to see through the use of illusion, but it attracts attention. Gao Zhengyang usually wears the kind of robe with a hood and doesn't go anywhere.

kept a low profile for more than a month, but finally it was noticed.

Tong He was sent away by Gao Zhengyang, and when he returned to his uncle, he realized that something was wrong, and his expression suddenly became very strange.

Tong Qiang saw that his nephew's expression was wrong, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Third uncle, that person seems to have an evil law. I had a few words with him, and he was asking me. Moreover, I answered honestly. Then he sent me back. The whole time, I instinctively obeyed his words......"

When Tong He thinks about it now, he feels that something is wrong.

Tong Qiang said with a cautious face: "If this person is really Gao Zhengyang, we really have to be careful." It is said that Ma Yong of the Tianma Martial Arts Hall was killed by him, and the two of us are by no means his opponents. ”

Their uncle and nephew's martial arts swordsmanship is good, but it is also a fourth-order level. Compared with the master of Ma Yong, it is far worse. Tong Qiang is a very cautious and sophisticated person, although he wants to take a large bounty, he is not willing to take too many risks.

Tong He disagreed: "Even if he is powerful, we have ** fans." A pack of medicine will definitely fall down. ”

Powder is not a high-grade poison, but it has a strong coma effect. Ordinary people don't want to drink it, or they will fall unconscious when they smell it.

Even a sixth-order martial artist can't resist the powerful medicinal power of ** powder. However, if the powder is put into the drink, it will change color and be cloudy, and experienced martial artists can see at a glance that something is wrong.

Tong Qiang objected: "You can't treat others as fools. It's not stupid to be able to kill so many masters. Moreover, you see how low-key and forbearant he is, he has been in the team for more than a month, and no one has anything to do with him. But no one thinks there's anything wrong with him......"

Tong He thought for a moment and said, "I think his little maid also has a problem." She is very beautiful at a young age, and when she rolls her eyes, she is called a hook. is more prodigal than those sisters who sell spring in the south, and it is likely to be the fox spirit of White Fox Bay......"

The white fox of the white pine mountains is also quite famous. People who often enter the mountains know where White Fox Bay is. However, the white fox is not easy to mess with, although many people are interested, but how many people have seen the white fox.

Occasionally, there have been people who have had contact with the white fox, and when they come back, they will inevitably brag to others about how beautiful the white fox is.

The white fox is obviously a demon, and because it is good-looking, most people call it a fox fairy.

There are too many rumors about fox fairies, the main of which is how beautiful and charming the fox fairy is.

The word fox comes from the fox fairy. Specifically describes the beauty of sexy and enchanting.

Tong He has also been to the land of wind and moon in the south, and has experienced the charm of the beauties there. But compared to those beauties and the plainly dressed Bai Ling, it seems that they are not as good as them.

Tong He has never seen such a beauty in the north, I don't know if she is good-looking, and the enchanting and flexible temperament between her main demeanors is too rare.

"Vixen?"

Tong Qiang's expression became more solemn, "That makes sense." Gao Zhengyang and Zi Qiange fled into the mountains, and Ma Yong chased them, and everyone disappeared. Many people said that they entered White Fox Bay and were all accepted by the fox fairy. ”

"If it's a vixen, it's worth it!"

Tong He licked his dry lips, and his eyes became excited.

There are many monsters in the world, but only the beautiful monsters like fox spirits are the most valuable. If it can be transported to the south, it will be sold to a giant merchant or a wealthy family, and it will be no problem to sell it for a few thousand taels of gold.

In comparison, Gao Zhengyang's reward of a few thousand taels of silver is nothing.

Tong He came up with an idea and said, "Third uncle, why don't we find someone to make Gao Zhengyang together and take him to receive a reward." We'll keep the little maid for ourselves. Even if she is not a vixen, with her tender fox appearance, it is no problem to sell for a few hundred taels. ”

Tong Qiang nodded, this is a good idea, but who can I find to do it together.

Of course, there are masters in the caravan, but they are all masters brought by the caravan. Without these sixth-order masters, the caravan would not dare to cross the mountains and mountains to make this money.

It's just that the masters of the caravan, all of them are rich, and although a few thousand taels of silver is a lot, they may not be able to impress the other party. After all, Gao Zhengyang was a caravan guest, and spreading it had a great impact on his reputation.

Tong Qiang and Tong discussed with the pair of uncles and nephews for a long time, but they didn't come up with any safe way. The two of them have good martial arts, but there is a big gap between them and the sixth-order masters, and they have nothing to do with it.

If they really want to have connections, they don't have to work so hard as guards. Fighting for life and death is the only way to earn so little money from selling your life.

Tong Qiang and Tong He were muttering, and an old Taoist suddenly came over, "What are you two sneaking around?"

Lao Dao was wearing an apricot yellow robe, a crown on his head, and a sword on his back. Dust whisk in hand. The whole person has a childish face, and it is quite a bit of Taoist style.

However, the greasy atmosphere of the rivers and lakes of this old Taoist body does not have a trace of Taoist peace and indifference.

Tong Qiang knew this old man, the mage invited by the caravan, who called himself Beiyuan, was a very powerful old guy. Most of the monsters encountered along the way have been cleaned up by this old way.

"Daoist Beiyuan, you are laughing, in front of you, how dare we be sneaky......"

Tong Qiang hurriedly smiled, this old man is not a good person, let alone messed with.

Bei Yuan showed a strange smile on his face: "Actually, I heard everything you said. ”

Tong Qiang can still force his composure, and said with a strong smile: "It's nothing to hear, what can we say, hahaha......"

Tong He was young in the end, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Bei Yuan swept the dust with a dashing wave, "You are trying to catch that Gao Zhengyang, and you also want to snatch that little girl, this is breaking the rules of the caravan!"

Gao Zhengyang and Bai Lingneng joined the caravan, so they naturally paid the money. Caravans are not only for transporting goods, but also for transporting people.

Tong Qiang's uncle and nephew, as the caravan guards, actually wanted to deal with the caravan guests, which was a big taboo. It is precisely for this reason that the uncle and nephew did not dare to look for helpers in the caravan.

Beiyuan broke it in front of him, even Tong Qiang was frightened, and he explained with a bitter face: "Master Dao, Gao Zhengyang is a wanted criminal of the Ten Thousand Swords League, and we are also thinking about it for the caravan." If it is discovered by the Ten Thousand Swords Alliance, it will definitely cause us trouble......"

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this nonsense. ”

Beiyuan interrupted Tong Qiang, "This time, Lao Dao will help you and take down Gao Zhengyang." However, "

Beiyuan dragged out his voice, Tong Qiang is an old Jianghu, knowing that the other party took the initiative to come to the door, there must be conditions. He hurriedly said, "Dao Ye just commands, and we will all listen to you." ”

"Hmmm......"

Beiyuan nodded with satisfaction, this Tong Qiang is still good, he said: "Gao Zhengyang, you just have to take it to receive the reward, I don't want the reward." I just want that little girl. ”

Tong He was a little reluctant, and he wanted to bargain as soon as his expression moved, Tong Qiang pulled Tong He and took the initiative to say: "Listen to the Taoist." ”

"You're a smart man. ”

Beiyuan said to Tong Qiang: "After all, he is a caravan guest, don't alarm others." In the evening, you take him outside the camp, and I will clean him up. ”

"Good. ”

Tong Qiang nodded respectfully without any objections.

Beiyuan swept the dust, didn't say much, turned around and left.

When Beiyuan walked away, Tong He couldn't help but say: "Third uncle, Beiyuan wants that girl, she must be a vixen." ”

Tong Qiang glared at Tong He: "Then what do you want?"

"Beiyuan doesn't want to steal fox spirits. Tong He was very dissatisfied and muttered, he felt that the third uncle was too weak, and he had to fight for more benefits.

"Idiot!"

Tong Qiang was very angry with his nephew's naivety, and the initiative in this matter was in the hands of Beiyuan. With Beiyuan's means, it is not difficult to kill the two of them.

With such a master, they still dare to talk about conditions, how many heads do they have? The other party is willing to play with them, which is already good.

Tong Qiang scolded Tong He, although Tong He was a little unconvinced, but he also had to admit that they had no other choice in this matter. The best way is to cooperate with Beiyuan obediently.

If things get bigger, although Beiyuan won't be able to get much cheap, they won't even be able to drink soup.

The quarrel between Tong Qiang and Tong He was actually heard by Beiyuan.

As a mage, Bei Yuan naturally had to keep an eye on the suspicious characters in the caravan. On the first day Gao Zhengyang came, he felt that Gao Zhengyang was a little wrong, but he didn't care too much.

People who are away from home, who don't have a point story.

But in the past few days, Tong Qiang's uncle and nephew have been very abnormal, and they have been secretly observing Gao Zhengyang. Beiyuan put a thousand-mile wind listening talisman on the back of the two horses.

This talisman can transmit the voice to him, and after listening to it for two days, Beiyuan knows the plans of these two guys.

Beiyuan originally just thought that Bai Ling was a little too clean and good-looking, so he didn't think much about it. But as soon as Tong He said it, he suddenly woke up, yes, this little girl must be a vixen.

can hide the demonic aura without revealing anything, and there must be a treasure on this fox spirit.

Beiyuan was immediately tempted, the fox spirit is the best whether it is for personal use or for money. It is used to practice some spells, and it is a superb furnace.

The strange treasure on the vixen is even more valuable.

In comparison, Gao Zhengyang, the wanted criminal of the Ten Thousand Swords League, is nothing at all.

Beiyuan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, the caravan was not big, and it was not so easy to kill Tong Qiang's uncle and nephew. It's better to share them with some soup to drink.

Of course, if the strange treasure on the fox spirit is too precious, he can only kill people.

But that's later, so there's no need to worry about it now.

Bei Yuan returned to the room and brought with him several commonly used magic weapons. I also brought a few more talismans. Although Gao Zhengyang's martial arts will not be too strong, he is prepared.

As a sixth-order mage, Beiyuan was actually very disdainful of martial artists. These idiots are just going to hit it head-on. As long as the mage puts a few spells and combines them with magic weapons, he can easily destroy a martial artist of the same level.

Compared to mages, the use of Yuan Force by martial artists is too simple.

What's more, the Northern Yuan swordsmanship is not weak. Even if you encounter it head-on, you can still maneuver. will never be hacked to death by the other party in front of him.

As long as you slow down, the other party can only wait for death.

Therefore, Beiyuan had no worries about the battle at night. He took a nap and hid in the carriage in the afternoon to do his daily practice.

After the convoy was stationed, Beiyuan went around again. When he came back, he found Tong Qiang and told him that there was a forest in the northwest corner, quiet and soundproof, and Gao Zhengyang could be brought there to solve the problem.

After dinner, Tong He ran to find Gao Zhengyang, but found that Gao Zhengyang was not there. Tong He was surprised.

I had to ask someone to find out that I had left the camp after dinner. Some people say it seems to be going northwest.

Tong He hurriedly found Tong Qiang, and the two searched northwest together.

The terrain here is open, and although it is dark at night, the view is wide under the moonlight.

The two of them circled around to make sure that there was no one around, so they could only run to the woods. When the two arrived, they saw Gao Zhengyang and Bai Ling sitting on the rocks by the river, Gao Zhengyang was holding a small musical instrument in his hand, and he was whining and playing a tune.

Gao Zhengyang's music is melodious and beautiful, and there is a kind of indescribable low sadness. The sound of the instrument was desolate and simple, and the tune it blew became more and more moving.

Tong Qiang and Tong He listened for a while, and they couldn't help but be fascinated. The sound of music seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and it took them back to their hometown, and when they returned home, they saw their parents and brothers.

I don't know how long it took for the melodious and sad music to stop.

Tong Qiang and Tong He heard Bai Lingtian's voice asking: "Master, what kind of song is this, so sad and so good." ”

"The original scenery of the hometown. ”

Gao Zhengyang said the name and said: "This is the voice of homesickness of the wanderer." Or those who have tasted parting can understand the taste. ”

"Good tune. ”

Beiyuan didn't know when he arrived, he strode past Tong Qiang and Tong He, and came to Gao Zhengyang.

Beiyuan said to Gao Zhengyang with some regret: "It's a pity that you have such attainments in music." ”

Gao Zhengyang smiled and asked indifferently, "You want to kill me?"

Beiyuan said awe-inspiringly: "You are a wanted criminal of the Ten Thousand Swords League, so naturally I can't tolerate you." ”

Bai Ling glared and said angrily: "The old man who is sanctimonious doesn't want to take a fancy to this girl, and wants to rob it, shameless!"

Beiyuan was a little surprised, "You actually know, no matter what, don't say anything else, just die!"

As he spoke, as soon as Bei Yuan raised his hand, he sent out a palm thunder.
