Jia Chen on the road, just in case, when he set out for the battle, he divided the Haojia army into two groups, one batch of hundreds of people led by himself, surrounded by dozens of carriages, but the carriages only contained the luggage of the officers and soldiers on the march, because the carriages were equipped with wooden boxes, it was difficult to see what was inside from the outside.

The other group was transported by Li Sheng, the leader of the Haojia army, with twelve or thirteen Haojia troops transported, except for the front one and the last one loaded with cloth, the rest of the carriages were loaded with grain and grass.

In this regard, Jiachen made careful arrangements, and asked Li Sheng and others to dress up as businessmen and set off from Kyoto Cloth Village and take another small road, while he took a large team of people and horses to take the main road from Kyoto Grain Village to the border pass.

Along the way, the family eats when they see a restaurant in the morning, and stays at a hotel when they see it, which is very public.

On this day, when Jia Chen and others walked to a dense forest, they were blocked by a group of people, and one of the leaders shouted to the team: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, and I want to pass by from now on to stay and buy road money." ”

Jia Chen pretended to get down from the carriage and shouted to the man: "Big but small thief, I should be the prime minister to transport grain and grass to the border pass, get out of the way quickly." You and I can't afford to delay the military plane. ”

"Since you are all about to die, I will let you die clearly, I am sent by the second prince, that is, the emperor of our Yelu country, to wait here. When it comes, let you suffer death. ”

"Who should I be, it turns out to be a traitor and thief. Someone will take it for me," Jia Chen ordered.

I saw that the Hao family army picked up their weapons and rushed towards the group of people, and Jia Chen stood aside to help in the battle. After a while, most of the thieves were killed, and Jia Chen shouted happily: "Brothers, fight well, quickly eliminate this group of thieves, and when you get out of the dense forest, I will invite everyone to go down to the restaurant." ”

The Hao family army can go to the restaurant again, and they are more brave in battle. Seeing the thieves fall one by one, Jia Chen was relieved to go back to the carriage to rest for a while, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a thief behind him with a big knife and slashed at him, and Jia Chen subconsciously dodged. The shoulder was still slashed, and the blood suddenly left along Jia Chen's shoulder. Jia Chen hurriedly covered the wound. But the thief saw that he didn't cut Jia Chen's vital point. stabbed directly at Jia Chen's heart, Jia Chen instinctively protected the position of his heart with his hand, closed his eyes and thought to himself, it seemed that he was going to die before he reached the border pass. Xiaoxi, my husband can't accompany you anymore. Jia Chen was thinking nonsense. Suddenly, there was a white light in front of him, and when Jia Chen opened his eyes, a woman in white walked out of the white light. With a sharp sword, he instantly cut off the thief's head. Looking at the thief who fell in a pool of blood, Jia Chen was stunned. Because that girl looks too much like Yun Xi, except for her clothes and headdress, she is almost the same as Yun Xi, if Jia Chen didn't know that Yun Xi didn't follow, he really thought that Yun Xi came to save herself. I saw that the girl glared at Jia Chen and said, "You are stupid, don't you know how to leave two martial arts to protect yourself?" If it weren't for Shangguan Yunxi's face, I wouldn't have bothered to save you. After speaking, it turned into a white light and floated into the ancient jade on Jia Chen's chest.

Jia Chen secretly watched the soldiers who were fighting, and no one seemed to see the scene just now, so he walked over with confidence and found medicine to stop bleeding from the carriage, sat on the ground, took off the sleeve of one of his clothes and exposed his shoulders and began to apply medicine.

After getting it done, Jia Chen sat in the distance to watch the battle, and saw that there was a little thief who wanted to escape, Jia Chen hurriedly shouted; "Someone is trying to escape, catch him."

I saw several officers and soldiers running up with weapons to surround the thief leader, and Jia Chen shouted at them: "Catch them alive." ”

As soon as they heard that the prime minister was going to catch him alive, they hurriedly found a rope from the carriage and brought the rope to Jia Chen.

At this time, Li Yan, the leader of the officers and soldiers, saw the wound on Jia Chen's shoulder and asked with concern: Xiangye, you are injured, and you blame your subordinates for only caring about killing thieves and not protecting Xiangye. "It's okay, it's just a few minor injuries, it's fine."

Jia Chen looked at the thief and asked, "How many of you came to Kyoto this time?" ”

"I'm scared to death when I say it, our emperor has sent countless people."

"The area of your Yelu country is less than one-tenth of our Dahao, and the population is even smaller, and there are countless people." Jia Chen pouted and said.

As the saying goes: "A good man does not suffer immediate losses, loyal ministers must protect the lord, how the second prince ascended to the throne, I am afraid you know better than anyone else!" Let your own people not support it, but support an outsider to be your emperor, and also bring your Yelu country to the point of extinction, now there are two ways for you to choose, one is that you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and then we can give you an official and a knight. Second, you died as a martyr. Which path do you choose? Jia Chen looked at the thief and asked.

"I'm afraid of death, I surrender to you." The thief said, oh.

Jia Chen stared at the thief and said, "Untie him." ”

"But ......" Jia Chen looked at Li Yan and glanced at him.

Several officers and soldiers tied up the thief's head, but the thief who had just been untied suddenly snatched the sword in the hand of an officer and soldier and stabbed at Jia Chen, and saw Li Yan, who had been on guard, knock down the sword in the thief's hand with a knife, and before he understood what was going on, the thief's head moved.

Jia Chen said to Li Yan: "Thanks to you this time, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have gone to see the king of Hades." ”

"It's Xiangye's fate."

"Emperor Li Yan is no longer there, I will represent the emperor to appoint you as the chief soldier first, and then go back and play the emperor again."

"Prime Minister Xie promoted." Li Yan saluted.

"Let's go, I promise everyone to kill the thieves and go down to the restaurant. Today we went out of the woods and stayed in a hotel. Jia Chen promised to the officers and soldiers.

When the officers and men heard this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they walked out of the dense forest after a while, and finally arrived at a county town when it was dark.

At night, Jia Chen stood alone in the candlelight, thinking about what happened today, as well as the appearance of the woman in white, and what she said: "If it weren't for Shangguan Yunxi's face, I wouldn't have rescued you." ”

Jia Chen took off the ancient jade and looked at it again and again, if he didn't see a blood-stained Xi character on it, he really thought that this was the ancient jade he gave to Xiaoxi, the two ancient jade were strikingly similar. Jia Chen thought to himself that Yun Xi must know that there was a woman hidden in the ancient jade, and he also knew that he would save himself at a critical time, so he handed over the ancient jade to himself. But what is the relationship between the woman in the ancient jade and Yun Xi, why do the two look exactly the same, could it be that the woman is a fairy who can transform her appearance at will, it must be like this.

The next day, everyone continued to go on the road after breakfast, although they walked on the main road, but the road was far away, and they still had to pass through some mountain roads, Jiachen saw that the mountains in front of them were very steep, and ordered the officers and soldiers to separate the horses and carts, Li Yan asked puzzledly: "Why did Xiangye separate the carriages?" ”

"You see the road ahead is very steep, the carriage is very difficult to walk, and it takes time, if we separate the horse and the cart and lead the horse to walk, isn't it much more convenient, and after these mountains, we ride a horse to drive a road much faster than a carriage?" Jia Chen explained.

"But these cars are all made of fine wood, and it's a pity to lose them." Li Yan said regretfully.

"It's not a pity at all, we hid the car in the jungle, and we can still use it when we come back."

"It's still thoughtful. But Li Sheng, have they arrived? Li Yan asked.

"If nothing else, they arrived yesterday, and I asked, and it's a five-day journey."

"How did they get over the mountain?"

"The road they took had no mountains, only dense forests, and we could have taken the other way, but I thought it was too far. Missed trips. Jia Chen said.

After Jia Chen and the others separated the carriage, they hid the wooden cart in the dense forest, and after they were done, Jia Chen gave each person a charm, and said to everyone: "There are inevitably some unclean things in the deep mountains and old forests, and it is safer to carry a charm, you remember that we are just passers-by, don't talk too much, and ignore him if you shouldn't see it." ”

After walking a long way on the mountain, I didn't find anything unusual, but when I was about to go down the mountain, I suddenly saw that the slope was covered with snow lotus, and some officers and soldiers were about to come forward to pick in surprise, but they were stopped by Jia Chen, who immediately ordered: "No one is allowed to damage a single grass or tree on the mountain, otherwise it will be punished." ”

The officers and soldiers led the horses through the gaps in the snow lotus, and finally went down the mountain, Li Yan asked Jia Chen curiously: "Xiangye, the snow lotus is a good blood tonic medicinal material, what we lack at the border is these medicinal materials, even if there are not a few plants in the palace, just now the mountains are all over the wilderness, why don't you order to pick it?" ”

"Let me ask you, where does the snow lotus grow?"

Li Yan blinked and replied, "I heard that life and death grow on the high mountains of the northern snowy region. ”

"Since you know that it can only grow in the high mountains of the northern snowy region, don't you think it's strange that snow lotuses appear all over the wilderness here?"

"Xiangye, when you say that, I do think it's strange, it's not cold here, and there's no snow where the snow lotus came from, but just now I did have an urge to pick it right away, and I don't know what's wrong."

"You've been hit by a demonic obstacle, thanks to the charm you have on you, otherwise you wouldn't even know how you died."

"Xiangye, do you mean that there are demons and monsters on that mountain?" Li Yan asked.

"Yes, this mountain is called Wild Bear Ridge, when I came, I had already inquired that there were wild bears on the mountain, so I asked for a lot of spells, I think that Snow Lotus must be the wild bear to make spells, fortunately, there is no danger."

"You give the order and let the officers and soldiers take their own charms, maybe they can still use them in the future." Jia Chen said to Li Yan.
