In front of a big city, the Ye family's convoy marched slowly; Ye Shan lifted the curtain and looked at Dongshan City in front of him; In the mouth of the eldest brother Ye Lei, it should be Dongshan City, which is much richer and more prosperous than Diyang City, but at this time, there is a sense of chaos at the gate of the city.

Groups of soldiers and horses ran out of the city from time to time, and Hayama couldn't help but feel strange; Looking at the merchants and pawns around me, I felt a lot withered.

"Big brother, second brother, it seems that a lot of things have happened in Dongshan City recently", Ye Shan said to Ye Lei and Ye Yun, who were also looking out.

"Indeed, it's not the same as the daily situation that passed through this city before, it's a little abnormal", Ye Lei couldn't help but nod when he heard it, and thought for a while, "It is estimated that it may not be peaceful recently!"

Ye Yun couldn't help but nod beside him, his brows furrowed slightly.

Entering the city, Hayama inquired soon after that the people who had recently traveled to and from Higashiyama Castle and the surrounding cities had been attacked by a large number of mountain bandits; Even if the goods were given, they were in a state of extermination, and for a while, the people around them were panicked.

At this time, the merchants who came to Dongshan City hired a large number of mercenaries and warriors, intending to go to the next city together; Yu Bo discussed with Ye Lei, the person who presided over the Ye family, and also agreed.

On the side of the street, a large restaurant where merchants gathered, Ye Shan stood next to the carriage, while Ye Yun stood on the roof of the carriage and looked at the crowd gathered around.

"Oh, many nobles and famous merchants; I guess it's not very good, and they were all wiped out on the way."

"I actually saw a classmate from Mingwu Academy, third brother, wait for me", Ye Yun looked at the roof of the car, his eyes lit up; In the blink of an eye, with a leap, a few steps disappeared into the crowd.

Ye Shan looked at it and couldn't help but smile bitterly; This second brother is free and easy.

When I was bored and watching, some people led the team to the front of the convoy; I saw a white-haired old leader, followed by a woman in a cyan palace suit, with a skin like condensed fat, a bun face, with some romantic and innocent childishness, looking at herself curiously; Seeing this, Ye Shan smiled slightly and gestured.

Seeing this, the other party blinked and smiled; Then he walked towards himself and came to the front.

"Young Master Yeshan, my name is Qingruo, and my father is a partial general under your father, General Ye."

"Hello Miss Qingruo!"

Ye Shan looked at the casual Qingruo in front of him, and then looked at the white-haired old man who glanced not far away, and then continued Yu Bo was discussing, came back to his senses, and replied.

After replying, the two couldn't answer for a while, Ye Shan thought for a while, and said, "Did you also encounter a mountain bandit attack on the way?"

"Well, on the way to Dongshan City, I was inexplicably ambushed by Hongyizhai and suffered dozens of casualties; Now there are only a few people left in Fubo, fortunately, the family will try their best to protect it, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Hongyi Village, isn't it a broken military village?" Ye Shan couldn't help but stare at it when he heard this, and then looked at the large number of noble merchant convoys around, and couldn't help but think.

"It seems that this is not a simple attack and robbery of mountain bandits, but there is a certain force that controls these mountain bandits; No wonder these convoys gathered here and left in groups."

"You've been attacked, too!" , Qingruo covered her mouth, a little surprised, that is, her innocent and romantic temperament, she also understood that things were not very simple; Not too sad.

Seeing this, Ye Shan looked at the situation not far away Yu Bo and the old man talking and laughing, and said with a smile, "It is estimated that the road behind will be walked together, rest assured!"

"Thank you, Ye Gongzi", Qingruo tightened her skirt and relaxed after hearing this.

Not long after, the second brother Ye Yun, with another group of people, joined in; I saw Ye Yun talking very harmoniously with a sturdy young man.

"Come, eldest brother, third brother, let me introduce to you, my classmate in the academy, Jiang Tao, has slashed mountains with one hand, but he has practiced the essence, which is something I rarely like in the academy!"

Ye Yun pulled his classmate Jiang Tao and was busy introducing Ye Shan to Ye Lei.

In the blink of an eye, they recognized each other's faces familiarly.

"Hey, third brother, it's okay, who's this girl!" , Ye Yun was halfway through talking and suddenly noticed that the beautiful and lovely Qingruo behind Ye Shan couldn't help but be surprised, looking at Ye Shan's expression, it was a compliment.

"The girl of the Qing family, her name is Qingruo", Ye Shan was still waiting for Qingruo to come out to speak, but the eldest brother Ye Lei was thinking that Ye Yun was too straightforward, so he told the other party directly.

"Next, we will also go to the royal city and fall into the phoenix city together; Coincidentally, Miss Qingruo is also a student of Mingfeng Academy, but she has learned more about the scriptures and poems, but she is with the third brother."

At this time, Ye Lei pressed Ye Yun's mouth, and then seemed to think of something, and then exposed Ye Shan's purpose of going to Luofeng City.

Ye Yun and Jiang Tao glanced at each other, and they also laughed.Ye Shan shook his head when he heard this.

Qingruo, when he heard it, he was very interested.

"Prince Hayama, will he also be a student of Mingfeng Academy, and he will learn the scriptures and poems?"

As he spoke, Qingruo blushed for a while, a little surprised and blushed.

"Hmm"

It was noisy for a while, and soon, more than a dozen caravans and convoys began to go to Luoxia City together.

After passing through Luoxia City, enter the plains; The convoy of people and horses scattered a lot from time to time on the way, speeding up; The original huge convoy is now only four or five to the royal city and Luofeng City.

After three days of walking, after walking through a barren grass and jungle, there was only the sound of crows and sparrows everywhere in the wilderness; In the blink of an eye, dark clouds were thick, torrential rain hit, thunder and lightning roared.

Hayama listened to the torrential rain pouring down outside the convoy, and everyone outside the car was drenched; The groom was also in a hurry; Listening to the sound of all kinds of rain hitting the roof of the car, I also know that this heavy rain is very heavy.

Hayama, after listening carefully, and the bumpy situation of the carriage from time to time, couldn't help frowning, thinking that it was almost dusk at this time, and a heavy rain made the night come faster.

"The situation is not good, in the heavy rain, the road is very bad, the horses are too fast, and they need to find a place to hide from the rain for the night; But in the wilderness, there's nowhere to hide."

Ye Shan thought about it, and couldn't help but face Ye Lei, and proposed, "Big brother, it seems that you won't be able to get to the royal city today, the rain is pouring down, and the night is getting darker, so you have to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly."

"Indeed, I will discuss with Uncle Yu to see if there is a place to shelter from the rain."

When Ye Lei was contemplating his eyebrows, after hearing about it, he also agreed.

Soon, Ye Lei came back covered in rain, and said,

"Uncle Yu asked around for someone, and Boss Cai of Wangcheng Teahouse said that he knew that there was a broken temple around, which could temporarily shelter from the rain."

"We're going to turn to the ruined temple nearby."

Ye Shan, when he heard about the broken temple, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when he thought of this barren mountain and wild forest, and the heavy rain at night broke the temple; The journey of ten days, even if it was attacked by mountain bandits, did not make him feel so uneasy.

"I guess I'm thinking too much, the force in this world is so strong, even if it's a lonely ghost, a tiger, a wolf and a beast, it's not a strong warrior."

In the evening, everyone was drenched, and hurried all the way to a temple on the side of a small hill; While running, avoiding the rain, Hayama looked at the small temple in the barren mountains in the distance, and felt even more uneasy.
