Jingkou County further north, the scenery begins to fascinate people, Jizhou to the west to the north is like endless mountains, the official road valley through, the green mountains and green trees on both sides look refreshing.

From time to time, there are bird cries in the valley, the call is very pleasant, in Jizhou City, such bird calls are impossible to hear.

After entering the mountain, the weather does not seem so hot, and the mountain wind blows, blowing away the sweat on the person, leaving a refreshing body.

Gao Xining didn't want to sit in the carriage, this was the first time she had left Jizhou so far, although she had only walked less than a hundred and fifty miles.

"What kind of bird is that?"

Gao Xining asked.

Li Qi pointed in the direction where the bird's call came from and asked, "Do you mean over there?" ”

Then with a whoosh the dog flew out, and after a while it flew back again, landing firmly on the carriage, and stepping on the bird under its paws, probably meaning that the fellow was barking.

Gao Xining looked at the dog, and then at the bird that was about to die of fright, a little confused.

This dog is a man of action, he doesn't fool, he does practical things.

Li Qi said: "Let the people go." ”

The dog looked down at the bird, and there was a sense of eagerness to try, no matter how beautiful the bird was, no matter how good the cry was, it was a colorful snack in its eyes.

Li Qi said let the people go, but the dog didn't mean to let go, and even some wanted to eat.

Gao Xining looked at the dog and said seriously: "It's not delicious." ”

As soon as the dog let go of its claws, the bird flew away with a puff.

Li Qi was stunned, he looked at Gao Xining and didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was probably why?

Gao Xining didn't speak, and gave Li Qi a look that you guess it is, Li Qi said in his heart Of course it's you, otherwise it's still me? Thinking about these things in his heart, his eyes probably changed a little, so the corners of Gao Xining's eyebrows raised slightly, and Li Qi hurriedly said: "I, I, follow me." ”

The dog should have understood, and expressed its disagreement with practical actions, it leaned towards Gao Xining's side, and rubbed Gao Xining's shoulder with its little head, meaning Mother, don't you want children, that guy is too ugly.

Gao Xining looked a little embarrassed.

"Gluttony...... What's wrong. ”

She turned her head to look into the distance: "A person who is not hungry must be a cold-blooded person." ”

Li Qi felt that this statement should not be true, but he did not dare to say it.

"What is this mountain called?"

Gao Xining asked.

Li Qi didn't know what this mountain was called, they didn't walk this road, it wasn't this side to go back to Jizhou from Yanshan, Yanshan was in the north direction of Jizhou, they were going northwest now, and this mountain range didn't know if it was connected with Yanshan.

"It's called Twin Peaks."

Xiahou Yuli walked by and knew what the name of this mountain was.

On a carriage behind, Yu Jiuling vaguely heard the name Shuangfeng Mountain, and he asked Tang Pi, who was sitting next to him: "Old Tang, why is this Shuangfeng Mountain called Shuangfeng Mountain." ”

Tang Pidi thought for a while and explained: "Generally speaking, it is called Twin Peaks because those two peaks are like camel humps, so they are called Twin Peaks. ”

Yu Jiuling asked even more puzzled: "That camel, how many of us people in the Central Plains have seen it?" Wasn't it called Twin Peaks before I saw camels? If it has nothing to do with camels, what does the word Twin Peaks have to do with it? ”

He threw out several questions in a row, and Tang Pidi had to think about it carefully, and then he didn't know why his face turned red.

He glared at Yu Jiuling: "Dirty! ”

Yu Jiuling said innocently: "Why is it dirty...... Can't just two peaks be called Twin Peaks? Why do you have to have two humps to be called Twin Peaks, then it can be called Hump Mountain, I don't think your analysis makes sense. ”

Don's face turned redder, and he felt a little dirty.

Yu Jiuling asked, "What did you think just now!" ”

Tang Pi said: "I think it's really that I'm thinking too much, you see that camels have two humps and one hump, so they should be."

It has nothing to do with camels. ”

Yu Jiuling nodded: "That's it, it's rare to see you admit your mistakes." ”

Tang Pi said that it was dangerous, but fortunately, this guy was easier to fool, otherwise he would be innocent for the rest of his life......

Yu Jiuling sat in the carriage and swayed his legs, and he asked Tang Pidi: "Look at this mountain, will there be mountain bandits and grass bandits?" ”

Tang Pi said: "Now in this great Chu world, it is possible that there are mountain bandits and grass bandits hidden in any mountain, even if it is the prosperity of the world, the prosperity is far beyond any period in history, and there will be no shortage of mountain bandits and grass in the mountains." ”

Yu Jiuling asked, "Why?" ”

After asking, I figured it out, what else could it be?

No matter how good the world is, no one will take risks because of a bite of food, and no one will raise a flag to rebel because of poverty, but such bandits and bullies will not be extinct.

He sighed, and a happy little two-man suddenly became sentimental.

Tang Pidi smiled and said, "You seem to have had an epiphany." ”

Yu Jiuling shook his head: "Don't have this kind of epiphany." ”

On the car in front, Xiahou Yuli reminded Li Qi: "When I came back from Yunyin Mountain, I came back with a caravan, and many merchants got together, and then hired a lot of guards. ”

Li Qi nodded.

He had set up scouts in front of him, and if someone was in ambush, he should find out.

If there is no one blocking the road in such a place, it will be strange if there is no one blocking the road, Jizhou is the most chaotic, and I don't know how many people plunge into the mountains and get together to form a scale, maybe they were originally ordinary people, and after robbing a few times, it will become a habit, and slowly they will no longer be ordinary people.

"There should be a cottage on Fairy Mountain."

Xiahou Yuli said: "But how many people there are, how large, I don't know." ”

Li Qi said: "They may not dare to provoke us, but everyone should be careful, I have told everyone to stay vigilant, there are not only beautiful scenery in the mountains, but also wild beasts, the scouts who are the first to explore the way, and they will also warn in advance if there is danger." ”

After the Shuangfeng Mountain, walk about forty miles is the Fairy Trace Mountain, the valley over there is much narrower than the Shuangfeng Mountain, the official road has also become narrower, the cliffs on both sides are strange rocks, the mountains and forests are dense, and it is most suitable for hiding in ambushes.

At this moment, under the Fairy Trail Mountain in front.

A young man of about sixteen or seventeen years of age rode leisurely from the northwest to the south, wearing a white brocade robe and a long robe, extremely handsome, if you want to compare, more handsome than Tang.

If you just look at the face, it is difficult to tell whether he is a man or a woman, but the figure can be seen, with a tiger's back and an ape waist, and a slender body, if he is a man, he is better looking than any man, and if he is a woman, he is better looking than any woman.

He didn't pull on the horse's reins, he let the horse walk on its own, he had a bamboo flute in his hand, turning it back and forth between his five fingers, no matter how it changed, but it just wouldn't fall.

There seemed to be a sharp whistle from the cliff next to it, which at first glance sounded like an eagle's cry.

Hearing this voice, the corners of the brocade-clothed young man's eyebrows raised slightly.

He leaned over and patted the old horse who sat down, and said in a very soft voice: "Old yellow horse, old yellow horse, I told you, when you meet a better mount than you, I will change you, you can go to rest, someone wants to stop us, I will see if they have a better horse than you in their hands." ”

The old yellow horse snorted twice, not knowing whether he understood or didn't care at all what he said.

Probably the first thing to describe is a horse.

At this moment, someone grabbed a rope from the trees on both sides of the cliff and swung down, about seven or eight people, with knives stuck in their waists, and wandered leisurely to the official road, and as soon as they let go of their hands and landed, seven or eight people blocked the road.

One of the mountain bandits led by him took a few steps forward, pulled out the knife pinned to his waist and pointed it at the brocade-clothed young man, the knife was not unsheathed.

"Hey, stop!"

The brocade-clothed boy ignored it, and the old yellow horse continued to walk forward as if he was deaf, which made the mountain bandits angry.

Led by mountain bandits

He pulled out the knife with a swipe, and took a step in front of the old yellow horse, and the old yellow horse, who was walking with his head down, seemed to not look at him, or was too lazy to look at him, but still walked forward with his head down, and took another step and crashed into the mountain bandit leader.

"Hey, I'll go!"

The leader of the mountain bandits was furious, turned sideways, and then grabbed the reins of the old yellow horse, who seemed to look at him, and as if he was pitying him in his eyes.

"Are you deaf?!"

The mountain bandit leader asked angrily.

The brocade-clothed boy shook his head and said, "No." ”

The leader of the mountain bandits said: "You didn't deaf you on purpose?" I told you to stop you didn't hear?! ”

The brocade-clothed boy looked a little embarrassed and replied: "I told it, walking is its business, I don't care, when it stops, it has the final say, I will rest wherever it stops." ”

"You? Say hello with an old horse? ”

The mountain bandit leader suddenly laughed, turned back to his subordinates and smiled: "I thought I had cut off a big meat bun, this beautiful brocade dress, just think about it, you know that you are from a rich person, who would have thought that you are a fool!" ”

The men laughed too.

The brocade-clothed boy asked, "Are you laughing at me?" ”

The mountain bandit leader laughed and said, "Otherwise? Who do we laugh at? ”

The brocade-clothed boy bowed his head and said to the old yellow horse: "I was laughed at, it's not good, it's not good." ”

The old yellow horse snorted twice, as if he was talking about my, not laughing at me, I just walked, and everything else was your business.

Probably less than an hour later, on the official road.

Li Qi deliberately changed to the first carriage in front of him, he put the crossbow beside him, he could pick it up at any time, although he couldn't do it casually for the time being, but his archery skills were still few people.

At that moment he saw a man in front of him, perhaps tired, lying on his back on his horse, and letting the old yellow horse go forward on his own.

When a horse is visible at a glance as it should be very old, at least it means that the rider may not be very wealthy, because he probably has no other horses to choose from.

The man didn't get up when he heard a sound from the other side, and the old yellow horse kept his head down, seeing that he was about to collide with Li Qi's carriage, Li Qi hurriedly asked the guy who was driving the car to lean aside.

But the carriage had already leaned on one side, but the old yellow horse was walking in the middle of the official road, so there was no way to let it go, and if it was let again, it would overturn.

So Li Qi shouted: "Friend, be careful." ”

The man didn't answer, but the lazy-looking old yellow horse looked at Li Qi, then turned away a little, and gave way to the carriage.

Li Qi didn't pay attention to the person who spoke, but it was the old yellow horse who made way for people to make way that made him feel very strange and even shocked.

He sat up straight and muttered to himself in some disbelief.

"Old horse, old horse, you actually made way for people?"

He seemed to feel extremely unreal, but Li Qi and the others felt that what was this? Isn't that normal?

Li Qi looked at the brocade-clothed young man, who was also looking at him curiously, as if he still didn't understand why the old yellow horse would make way for this person.

So he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Li Qi replied: "Passers-by." ”

The young man in brocade was stunned for a moment because of this answer, and then he laughed, he thought this answer was particularly funny.

Li Qi asked: "May I ask this son, did you come from the Fairy Trail Mountain in front of you, did you encounter a mountain bandit interception?" ”

The brocade-clothed boy replied, "Yes." ”

Li Qi was shocked in his heart, and when he met him, the brocade-clothed young man came over unharmed, which was enough to explain the problem, but the scout he arranged in front did not warn.

So he smiled and asked, "Didn't rob you?" ”

The young man in brocade replied, "Robbed the money." ”

Yu Jiuling came over from behind and asked curiously: "How much money did you rob to buy the road?" ”

The young man in brocade took off a money bag from his body, opened the money bag, put his fingers in and pulled it, and then replied seriously: "Not much, about a few dozen taels, they brought so much." ”
