Yanyun Pass is the gateway to the Central Plains in the south, the main force of the First Army under the command of Jin Ran is stationed here, although it is the main force, but because the jurisdiction of the First Army includes Jizhou and Huzhou, and the number of troops is only 100,000, so the troops stationed here are generally only about 20,000.

At this time, a carriage came from afar outside the Yanmen Pass, the car was rolling with the previous rut marks, "crunching" slowly moving forward, the old horse pulling the carriage snorted from time to time, and a pair of eyes turned left and right, as if looking at the grass on both sides of the road, to see if there was anything appetizing.

The three of Jinhong have been walking for five days since they set off from Chu County to return to Yanjing, and the three of them have finished their errands, and they have no burden in their hearts, so they stop and go on the road along the way, enjoy the mountains and rivers, and Jinhong occasionally makes two fart poems, which makes Yan Changfeng and Li Yu laugh.

"Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a road on the mountain, and if you went up the road, you would not be able to go until there was no road!" Li Yu sat in the carriage and muttered a "poem" that Jin Hong casually read when a few people were admiring the mountain in front of a high mountain in the morning, and with a smile in her eyes, she pretended to be serious and commented on this "masterpiece", sometimes the word was used well, and then the head was the Tao to analyze the good, and sometimes this word was used cleverly, which was really the finishing touch.

After speaking, he laughed wildly in the carriage with Yan Changfeng, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten his waist before stopping, which made Jinhong, who was driving outside, blush.

"Xiao Hongzi, by the way, you haven't told us what happened to the Chu Shou people, how did your last few conversations make people feel weird." Yan Changfeng's voice sounded from the car behind Jin Hong.

Jin Hong, who was concentrating on driving, hesitated when he heard this, the two of them had asked him this question many times, not that he didn't want to talk about it, because he believed that neither Yan Changfeng nor Li Yu were the kind of people who talked nonsense with big mouths, but they were hesitating how to explain it to them, after all, it was too shocking.

"Do you believe that there really are youkai in this world?"

Jin Hong's voice sounded a little abruptly, but this sound made Yan Changfeng and Li Yu, who were still laughing in the car, startled, "Why did you suddenly talk about monsters?"

However, thinking of the bewitching woman in the courtyard at that time, the two of them did make people feel that she was not an ordinary person, and the kind of enchantment that emanated from the top and bottom of her body was like a natural one, and ordinary people could not imitate it no matter what.

Thinking of this, the two couldn't help but believe three points first!

Jin Hong continued: "In fact, all these evil things that Chu Shouren did were not out of his original intention, but were confused by the monsters. ”

"That monster is that bewitching woman?" Changfeng asked in surprise.

Jinhong shook his head and said, "Yes and no." ”

Without waiting for the two people in the car to ask, he continued: "That bewitching woman is just a shell driven by that monster." ”

"That monster was originally parasitic in the body of Chu Shouren's mother, and Chu Shouren himself is a filial son, so there was a series of tragedies later."

"Why is this, what do these tragedies have to do with the fact that Chu Shou is a filial son?"

"I don't know what kind of monster it is, anyway, it lives by sucking women's essence and blood, but these women are not just anyone, but women who have had a relationship with Chu Shou people, because the mother of the Chu Shou people it originally occupied is related to Chu Shou people, of course, these are my speculations."

"Ever had a relationship?"

"That's right, so that their essence and blood will be integrated into the essence of the Chu Shou people, which is the most replenishing for that monster."

"No wonder!" Yan Changfeng suddenly realized, now that he thinks about it, Chu Shouren forced those families to ruin, and the final result was to forcibly take other people's wives and daughters for themselves.

"In that case, Liu Ruye's wife Zhang Yanqiu is really dangerous." Li Yu added.

Jin Hong nodded affirmatively, "Actually, it should have been Zhang Yanqiu's turn to die last time, but it just so happened that Chu Shouren didn't take Zhang Yanqiu back to the countryside, so he had to make Qi Min'er Zhang Yanqiu's scapegoat and let the monster suck it up." ”

"It's the bewitching woman you saw in the backyard of the county government." Jin Hong added.

"Then who is Qi Min'er?"

"Do you remember the man we met in the cave of the city gate when we came back from a visit to the countryside?" Jin Hong reminded.

"That Liu Daozi?"

Jin Hong nodded: "Exactly!" He was originally the head catcher of Chu County, and his practice of kung fu was also quite good in the eyes of ordinary people, but later Chu Shouren fell in love with Qi Min'er, so he found an excuse to pull him off the position of head catcher and gave it to Zhang Tuzi, but he was demoted to the city gate to be a team leader. ”

"Then Qi Min'er let Chu Shouren snatch it away like this?"

Jin Hong shook his head: "Not yet, in the end, Zhang Tuzi threatened Liu Daozi's parents and children, Liu Daozi had no choice but to put drugs in the food that Qi Min'er ate, and then let Chu Shouren take it away!" “

"Alas! It's hateful! Yan Changfeng slapped his fist, as if he had thought of something, and said loudly: "Then how happened to that monster in the end, did you run away?" “

After a while, he didn't hear Jin Hong's answer, and just when Yan Changfeng wanted to lift the curtain and poke his head out to ask, Jin Hong's hand reached in from the corner of the curtain.

"Ahh Two screams suddenly sounded in the car, just because the hand that Jin Hong stretched out into the car was holding a blood-red snake at this time, and the little snake's head had a blood hole formed by an explosion, and a pair of snake eyes had dimmed to the point that there was no trace of expression, and it was obvious that it had been dead for a long time.

Rao was still startled by this, and after confirming that it was a dead thing, Yan Changfeng said with a little annoyance: "Why do you still carry this thing with you, it's scary." “

Li Yu didn't say anything, but he still nodded involuntarily in agreement.

Jin Hong smiled, withdrew his hand, carefully put the blood-colored little snake into a piece of brocade and carefully wrapped it, and then put it into a small box that he carried with him, and after cleaning it up, he said:

"This is the monster that is haunting, and the reason why I want to bring it is because I suspect that this snake is related to the legendary Hidden Cloud Snow Region, but I can't be sure, so I need to bring it back for my husband to see."

"Hidden Clouds and Snow Again?" Yan Changfeng's exclamation provoked Li Yu's strange eyes on the side, Yan Changfeng had heard Kong Wensheng say something about the Hidden Cloud Snow Region before, and what he remembered most clearly was that sentence, "The people who live there are not people!" “

But Li Yu hadn't heard of these things, but he was quite interested in the best-selling adventure novel "Hidden Clouds and Snow Experience", and he had read it several times.

At this time, the conversation between Jinhong and Yan Changfeng was still going on, they did not hide it because of Li Yu's existence, obviously after this period of time together, they no longer regarded Li Yu as an outsider.

It's just that Li Yu was shocked by the content of their conversation, and it seemed that there were many unbelievable things that were about to come out in their exchange.

The carriage swayed all the way, and in the whispered exchange of several people, it went to Yanyun Pass, at this time the guards of Yanyun Pass looked much more than when they came, and there were two rows of guards in armor and staff standing neatly outside the city gate, and everyone's expressions were quite serious, looking at the official road in the distance without squinting.

And there are more than a dozen heavily armed guards standing neatly in the city gate, their eyes are not the official road in the distance, but the pedestrians who walk in front of them, it seems that if those people have the slightest change, they will not hesitate to slash over.

There were also three or four guards, led by a colonel, who checked everyone who entered and exited the pass one by one, and everyone searched very carefully, even if it was a woman, there were special female soldiers who came forward to check it.

Speaking of this female soldier, between the countries, it is not a man's patent to fight as a soldier, and women can also go to the battlefield, which has a precedent as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, but in the Yan country, where the literary style is prevalent, most of the women are willing to learn elegant things such as qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are not willing to crawl and roll in the camp with stinky sweat, of course, there are exceptions, but because the conditions for female soldiers to join the army are more harsh than those of male soldiers, the number of all female soldiers is not large, and the whole country of Yan is about 20,000.

They are assigned to various legions to complete some things that are not easy for male soldiers, and only when it is absolutely necessary, the army commander will put them into the battlefield, such as the body search in front of them, the body search of past women, male soldiers are not easy to do, of course, if there is an emergency, how can they care about this.

And Dayan, Humeng, Loulan, and Yunnan are famous for their female soldiers, only Loulan's golden armor female general, whose identity is the daughter of the current lord of Loulan, that is, the princess of Loulan, but this Loulan princess who is over thirty years old but has not married so far does not love red makeup and loves arms, and likes to dance knives and guns since she was a child, which is quite similar to Yan Changfeng, a golden spear has not met opponents all over Molan, and the golden armor battalion she formed is all female soldiers, because she dares to shake Humeng's iron cavalry, and can fight and win, so it is famous in all countries.

Jin Hong drove the carriage over, and a soldier stepped forward to stop him, and asked Jin Hong to show a customs clearance document or an official document that could prove his identity.

Jin Hong took out the Yan Shu from his arms to give him the customs clearance paperwork, the soldier opened it and glanced at it, then glanced at Jin Hong in some surprise, clasped his hands into fists and saluted him, signaled him to wait a while, and then ran quickly to the little colonel with the paperwork, opened it and handed it to the other party.

The little colonel glanced at it, hurriedly caught it with both hands, then closed it and ran over, clasping his fists and saluting: "I've seen Lord Qincha, I don't know if my lord has passed by since then, I have offended a lot, please forgive me!" “

Jin Hong waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then asked casually, "Why did you suddenly add so many soldiers?"

Xiao Xiao clenched his fists and said: "This is an order from above, it is said that the eldest prince Humeng escaped from Yanjing, so now all the border guards near Humeng have strengthened their vigilance." “

"Is there anything you can find?"

Xiao Colonel shook his head: "It's not to catch Kelie, our spies in Humeng have sent back the news, and Kelie has returned to the Humeng Royal Court." “

Jin Hong's heart sank, he didn't expect that after Kelie fled, the Great Yan Imperial Court would have such a big reaction, seeing that the entire Yan Kingdom had already entered a state of combat readiness.

If he really dared to lead the army south, Jin Hong's eyes flashed coldly, but he startled the little colonel in front of him.

Jin Hong smiled apologetically and said, "Can I go?"

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, but still looked at the car behind Jin Hong, and said, "Dare to ask adults who are in the car?" “

"Oh, it's all my wife, and it's inconvenient to come out to see each other."

"In this case, the adults will go all the way, and there will be an official post twenty miles ahead of the official road, and the adults can settle down there with their wives." The little colonel turned sideways, got out of the way, and said in his heart: "It's good to be a big official, and your daughter-in-law can take a few!" “

Yan Changfeng and Li Yu in the car, you look at me, I look at you, and then Gu is face turned red, and he said secretly: "Dengzi!" “
