Falcon Field, in Xiliang, has money to take, but no life to spend. These four sentences have been circulating in the northern part of the Hu State for a long time, and no one knows how long they were, but it is said that it is even longer than the founding of the Hu State.

Before the founding of the Hu State, Xiliang belonged to the Southern Dynasty, and Xiliang at that time was much larger than now. Xiliang, the meaning of desolate in the west, the entire desolate and uninhabited place in the west was called Xiliang by the Southern Dynasty.

Nowadays, the desolate places in the west are much smaller, so Xiliang is also much smaller, and those who have built towns have new place names, such as Hanzhong, Wudu, Xiamu and other places, which were originally the Xiliang of the Southern Dynasty.

If you want to go to Xiliang, you have to go through Hanzhong, and at this moment the four of them are walking on the way to Hanzhong.

Bianliang and Xue Mulan had already changed two iron swords, and along the way, Bianliang's thorn frog technique had improved a lot, and Xue Mulan's roasting frog technique had improved a lot.

Right now, there is another stream, and the four of them are sitting together, munching on the frog legs, and the frog meat is really fragrant.

"Killer, don't patronize your own food, feed the uncle who doesn't want to talk a few bites." Bian Liang shouted, he didn't like the title of chasing souls, either calling him the gold lord or calling the killer, but fortunately, everyone was used to it.

Duan Qilang was chasing the soul and carried it, so the work of feeding was naturally handed over to him, but it had been several days, and Duan Qilang had always been half-dead, without saying a word.

"Hey, I said, this uncle who doesn't want to talk, my brother has seen you cry, so there's no need to keep a straight face." Bianliang said casually while gnawing on the frog.

In the past few days, except for meal time, he has been a non-stop stinging frog, and he can't even bother to speak, mainly because his thorn frog technique has been almost practiced, and the thorn frog tongue can also be nine times out of ten, so he is particularly focused.

Duan Qilang still didn't react, it was indeed not in Bianliang's plan to take such a burden to do the task, he originally thought that the proprietress was very good and could be entrusted to her to take care of her, but seeing the way the proprietress was being hunted, he really couldn't open his mouth and ask her for help, so he brought it over.

Xue Mulan has no opinion on this matter, when she goes to the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be wounded soldiers, but she has never left a wounded soldier behind.

"Okay, uncle." Bianliang ran out of ruts, "You're full, just rest early." ”

He turned back to the soul chaser and said, "Along the way, I didn't see this uncle urinating, how did you do it?" ”

Chasing the soul said, "When I go up, I take him with me every time." ”

"Okay, you. She is a qualified babysitter. Bianliang praised from the bottom of his heart.

To be honest, let him bring such a waste person, a waste person who can't speak, it is estimated that half a day is enough to choke.

Here it is again, with all the gossip, Xue Mulan rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, the second chapter of the frog splitting technique can be practiced." ”

Hey, let you talk too much, punish you for practicing, Xue Mulan got up and stepped on the fire of the roasted frog, with a treacherous smile on his face.

Splitting frogs and stabbing frogs are basically the same, the difference is that the stabbing is changed to splitting, but the difficulty is much higher, because the speed of splitting is slower than that of stabbing.

"Can you practice something else?" Duan Qilang suddenly spoke.

His least favorite food was frogs, and he had endured it for three days, and he planned to endure it until everyone opened their mouths to discuss splitting frogs, and he couldn't hold back for a while, so he complained.

His words shocked the other three to look at each other.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bianliang danced happily, and he said, "As long as your uncle is happy, let the killer accompany you to do tricks." ”

It feels hard to have a half-dead companion.

Duan Qilang didn't answer, and remained silent again.

"I said Xiaoduan, don't be so discouraged." Bian Liang patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him, saying, "Your injury looks quite serious, but in my opinion, there is still hope for healing." ”

According to the medical skills of Bianliang's era, breaking a hand or foot is a trivial matter, just do a bone surgery, even if you don't have surgery, the last splint can be recovered.

However, there is one thing he said wrong, Duan Qilang is not Xiao Duan, he is three years older than Bianliang's age in his previous life, but Bianliang is used to being Xue Mulan's eldest brother, so he is called Xiao Duan.

Unexpectedly, Duan Qilang nodded and spoke again, "It can be cured." ”

Xue Mulan was stunned for a moment, she was the most compassionate, and immediately asked, "How to treat it." ”

Duan Qilang said, "In the sage's shop, I once heard the people inside say that in Xiliang, there is a divine doctor named the God of Flowers, and he will cure. ”

Most of the words of the saints are groundless.

"That's great." A group of people began to hurry up, and along the way, Bianliang was still forced by Xue Mulan to practice swords from time to time, but they didn't roast frogs, but roasted fish instead.

Duan Qilang has not been silent since he started to speak, everyone is talking and laughing, and they are happy, but they have the least words to chase souls.

However, every time everyone asked why Duan Qilang was locked up in the saint's shop, he kept his mouth shut.

------------------------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Tongguan City, on the night they left, a strange guest came to the hostess's hotel.

The guest's hat was so low that no one could see his face, but the proprietress seemed to know the man well enough to recognize him without looking at his face, and she took the guest to a place where there was no one in the back hall.

Xiao Er felt strange, but he didn't dare to ask more, and he still had to entertain guests.

"Hello aunt!" The guest took off the hat and saluted first, he was not a person who was rigid about the details, but every time he saw this aunt, he would show respect for no reason.

The proprietress turned her back to him, and didn't care about his salute, just sighed to herself, "How can you get involved in these messy things." ”

In this world, only Chen Qihe's son Chen Million calls her aunt, but she should never say a word, because she doesn't want to be an aunt.

She either doesn't do it, or she wants to be the boss lady.

Today's proprietress is Chen Million's mother, but this does not affect her relationship with Chen Million.

She didn't respond, but she didn't want to admit her relationship with Chen Qihe, for Chen Million, a young man who grew up in Tongguan since childhood, she has always treated her as her own son.

Chen Million said, "My father said that the second prince may not be reliable. ”

As a saint, they are all people who take the emperor's silver and work for the emperor, and there are very few saints who can not obey the emperor's orders, except for the young master of the Chen family.

The proprietress sneered, "What will your father do besides pedaling two boats, the second prince is unreliable, is the third prince reliable, he has the ability, so the eldest prince will also intervene." ”

The eldest prince is dedicated to practicing and doesn't pay much attention to the matter of competing for the throne, but the strength of the eldest prince is there, and the financial resources are also provided by Yue Yage, and Chen Ji Qianzhuang really can't interfere if he wants to.

Chen Million said, "I don't understand my father's business, and I don't want to take care of it, but this matter, my father said, is done for you." ”

Chen Million sent the Xue family into Tongguan and stayed in the sage's shop, which was the meaning of the Chen family showing goodwill to the three princes.

"How did this matter involve me?" The proprietress felt strange, it wouldn't be Chen Qihe's guy who came to lie to herself again.

Chen Million said, "My father said that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage, and the support of the three princes was very important. ”

The divorce is naturally to divorce Chen Million's mother, the queen's sister, the second prince was born to the queen, even if Chen Qihe is now helping him seize the throne, but the second prince may not help Chen Qihe in this matter, but the third prince, there is this possibility.

Of course, the proprietress also knew this truth, she turned around and sighed again, "You, don't always be used by your father, you will think about his affairs, how can he take care of your affairs!" ”

Chen Million treats her much better than her biological mother, the boss lady knows this, Chen Million wants to help her, she also understands, but she doesn't want this kind of help, it will make her feel guilty.

But she knows that it is not easy to convince Chen Million, unless... Unless it's the girl in his heart.

So she said, "Since you were a child, you have outstanding talent and arrogance, in the best time of your practice, your father asked you to go to the Southern Dynasty to do business, causing you to fall in the love network and unable to extricate yourself, causing your force to be greatly reduced, and you still can't break through the Four Saints, look at Li Changsheng, who was as famous as you back then, what realm is it now." ”

Hearing this, the expression on Chen Million's face was very complicated, thinking back on the past, there was sadness, sweetness, and more helplessness, "Don't blame him, don't blame her." ”

He was referring to his father, if his father hadn't asked him to go to Jiangnan, he wouldn't have met her, he wanted to meet her, so he didn't blame his father. He wouldn't blame her, the girl he would always have in his mind.

The proprietress said coldly, "You don't blame him for letting you go to Jiangnan, but when the girl is about to get married, did your father do anything for you?" No, he just used all his power to lock you in the house. She got married like this, you were deprived of the opportunity to fight for it, such a father, why should you help him! ”

The proprietress has two major hatreds for the boss, one hates him for marrying the queen's sister despite herself.

The second hatred is that he keeps saying that he wants to fight for his love, but he never lets Chen Million fight for it, although the probability of success is very small, but if he fights, the ending may be different.

She knew how Chen Million had come over all these years, and she was very sad to see him like this.

"It's gone, it's all gone." Chen Million comforted the proprietress that he respected her, not only that the proprietress raised him, but also the proprietress and her attitude and determination to love.

Attitude refers to the fact that there is no room for sand in the eyes, even if it is the person she loves the most, she does not want her to accept him marrying two women at the same time, and she is determined to stick to Tongguan alone for so many years, Tongguan is the territory of Hu State, the queen's sister is very powerful, and she has indeed arranged many assassinations, but the proprietress has never retreated.

The proprietress knew that he couldn't let it go, but she was just hard-mouthed, she said, "If you still have her in your heart, go to Jiangnan, I've been here for 20 years, and I'm used to it." You are different, you should at least ask her if she has you in her heart. ”

It wasn't the first time she had said these words, but they had been ineffective, so this time she was going to stimulate him, "If you're afraid of death, then don't go." ”

Afraid? Chen Million's eyebrows twitched, a person's heart was broken in pieces, how could he be afraid of death.

However, he couldn't leave yet, he still had a reason to stay, and the person he didn't want to mention.

"The Li family, in Xuchang, rebelled." There was a hint of bitterness on Chen Million's face, "Father asked me to protect the third prince." ”

The proprietress was stunned, it is rare to hear of such a thing as rebellion once in a hundred years, but when she heard that it was the Li family, she didn't feel too strange, after all, Li Changsheng is also a once-in-a-century genius, and the law can only restrain those who are not strong enough.

She understands better that Chen Million wants to protect not the three princes, but her.

The proprietress said, "I'm fine, you better go, if Li Changsheng makes a move, you won't be able to protect the third prince." ”

Although it was shocking to say this, she wanted him to live rather than be reckless.

"How do you know if you don't try, take care." Chen Million decided to never change, he opened the window, like a gust of wind, disappeared out of the window.

The proprietress looked at his distant back and smiled bitterly, she suddenly felt that her life was not difficult, as long as she didn't forget her original intention, and her "son" was much sadder than her, because he wanted to protect too much.

The guardian is always the most tired, and he is also the most unrequited, and the same is true for the military advisor, he originally took refuge in the third prince just to take revenge, but when he found out that his son Duan Qilang was not dead, what he had to do was not only to take revenge, but also to protect and protect his son from being harmed.

The original name of the military advisor was Duan Tianen, a pirate in the East China Sea, and he had a nickname, called the fish herder.

In addition to robbery, he also kills, and the people he kills are all used by him to feed fish, but to be exact, he is not a bad person.

Because at that time, those who could go to sea were people with unusual identities, and in the vast sea, all they needed were big ships!

In the Southern Dynasty and the Hu Kingdom, there were only two types of people who would go to sea and ocean.

One is the gamblers, because the emperors of both countries banned gambling, the sea became a paradise for gamblers, because there was no army here, and there was no law, they often rented huge fishing boats, in the name of fishing, to gamble at sea; The other type is smugglers, although Hu and the Southern Dynasties are hostile, and ordinary trade is not restricted, but things such as forcing good people into prostitution and trafficking in human beings have always been prohibited by the two countries.

Of course, Hu only prohibits the trafficking of the population of Hu State, and if someone transports people from the Southern Dynasty to Hu State for trafficking, they will not prohibit it, after all, the nobles will have these needs, and for this reason, many people take risks and smuggle them from the sea for huge benefits.

And these people, once they met Duan Tianen, became the ghosts of his subordinates, because the objects he killed were not ordinary people, which eventually aroused the anger of some nobles, especially the son of King Shunqing of Hu State was killed for gambling at sea, and at the request of King Shunqing, the emperor issued an order to suppress bandits.

In the past, there were also wealthy merchants and nobles who arranged for people from the rivers and lakes to go to suppress bandits, but all of them ended in failure without exception, but this time, the emperor only sent one person, and Duan Tianen's pirates were all wiped out, only he and an entourage jumped into the sea to escape.

That enemy is called Mon Shulie!

He didn't expect that Duan Qilang did not die, but was arrested and put in Beiping Prison, and eight years later, his son was consecrated in prison and was about to escape, but his hands and feet were broken and sent to the saint's shop.

When he saw his son again, his heart ached, but he could not save him, because no one had been ransomed since the opening of the saint's shop.

If he finds someone to make a move, he will definitely be suspected by the third prince, not only will he not be able to save people, but he will also get in, and he will not dare to go to the saint's shop to steal people, the strength of Tongguan City is not something that he and his entourage can deal with.

Therefore, when Bianliang ransomed Duan Qilang, he was very excited, which is why he did not expose Xue Mulan's identity, Duan Qilang was on the back of the soul chaser at that time, and once he made a move, his son would inevitably be implicated.

But the matter of the Xue family is too big, the third prince has been planning for a long time, it is impossible to stop, chasing the soul is the only clue at present, and the reason why he was let go is to hang Xue Mulan, a big fish.

In order to prevent the people of the Three Princes from finding Xue Mulan first and thus threatening Duan Qilang, he summoned his entourage Monkey Ran on the top of Tongguan Mountain late at night, and asked him to keep an eye on the four of them, waiting for an opportunity to get rid of the soul chaser.

As for why Bianliang drew the task of Xiliang, it was arranged by him a long time ago, no matter what color of task they draw, the end was to go to Xiliang, because Xiliang had a Langzhong who could heal his son's injuries.

Duan Tianen has always done things without leakage.

Monkeys run, under the saints, run the fastest, whether it is a waterway, a mountain road, a flat road, or a jungle.

He also has a nickname, the king of the forest, the monkey is the king in the forest without tigers, and the monkey runs the same, in the forest without saints, he is the king.

(If there is something tomorrow, I will pay more respect, I wish you all a happy May Day, health and eternal peace.) ）
