The rolling river does not return, the wet and cold wind stirs up the rising smoke with the waves, as if the clouds are steaming, and there is a small hillside abruptly on the bank of the river that is slightly calm, Ji Lie, Yan Eighteen, and Xiaoyu stand on the hillside, as if they are in the clouds.

The tide rises and falls, and the rivers and mountains are picturesque. But this beautiful country has nothing to do with them, Ji Lie is thinking about his promise, Xiao Yu is thinking about whether to beat up this beautiful fool of Yan Kingdom, but Yan Eighteen is saying things that have nothing to do with him: "If you take the Tairi Gorge Road, you are safer, you will not die on the land of Anguo, but you can't avoid the Song Kingdom." Once you enter the territory of the Song Kingdom, then the variables are unpredictable, Song Hou may detain you to create trouble, or you may die on the road, and put the responsibility on Anhou, no matter what the result is, it is obviously not what Anhou wants to see. ”

Ji Lie didn't speak, just quietly looked into the distance, for him, being sober was originally a very luxurious thing, he could only face and bear it with a not strong chest, but Yan Eighteen's words were still like a knife, ruthlessly piercing into his seemingly indestructible heart, rubbing inch by inch.

Yan Eighteen said: "If you go to the Liuyuan River, you will go around in a big circle, the whole journey is 6,800 miles, maybe you have to walk for a year, and these are not important, the worst thing is that you have to survive." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Shiba's eyes were a little red, and his chest was also rising and falling slightly, he pointed to the surging river: "Look, this is your first step, it will let you float in this river, you can't distinguish between southeast and northwest, maybe one day, there will be a fishing boat to salvage you, find a certain token from your rotten body, this token may not be transmitted to Shaotai City, but it will definitely be transmitted to Yancheng, and at that time, the angry Song Hou will raise the army of the country to ask for an explanation for you." ”

"It's not like this, you are talking nonsense, we Song people will not treat Xiao Houzi like this!"

At this time, Xiao Yu, who had been biting her lip and wanted to teach Yan 18 a hard lesson, couldn't help it, she forgot the etiquette of being a maid, and also forgot Yan 18's identity, she crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Yan 18's nose with the other.

"I'm sorry, you're not Song Hou." Yan Eighteen's face turned red, showing a very sorry look, but his eyes were fixed on Ji Lie.

"You are not our king...... either," Xiao Yu said anxiously.

"Xiaoyu."

Ji Lie shook his head, with a look of pain in his eyes, Yan Shibai was right, Xiao Yu was a Song person, but he was not a Song Hou, besides, Xiao Yu was born in Anguo and grew up in Shaotai, so strictly speaking, he is not a Song person.

Yan Shibai was not angry because of Xiao Yu's confrontation, he nodded towards the stunned Xiao Yu, and continued: "Ji Lie, you and I are both fools, and I only have one friend from you, I hope you can live." If this river can't bury you, don't let up, you still have a long way to go, you will experience some things you can't imagine, but you must remember that fate will always pull the arrow of death when you lose your defense. After speaking, Yan Shibai was silent, with sadness on his ruddy face.

After a long time, Ji Lie nodded and said in a deep voice: "I know that when I leave the land and rivers of Anguo, I will face the unknown, perhaps, someone will cut off my head at this time, put it in a dark sack, and return to Shaotai City along the road from which I came, and then appear on someone's case, at that time, all the unknown and danger will be over." ”

"If only you knew, my friend."

Yan Eighteen lifted his toes and patted Ji Lie's shoulder, and suddenly a gust of wind came, lifting the big buzz on his body, he was already weak, and he had been waiting for Ji Lie here for a long time, and at this time, he was provoked by this cold wind, and his face suddenly showed a sickly flush, and he couldn't help coughing.

Ji Lie frowned and said: "You should also cherish it in Anguo, I will come back, and when the time comes, I will invite you to drink the strongest ginger tea." ”

"I'll wait, I'll be able to beat you then, and I'll let you know what it's like to be humiliated by another fool!"

Yan Eighteen clenched his fists and smiled, then took out a black box from his arms and handed it to Ji Lie: "I am luckier than you, because I have seventeen brothers, and you only have three." Take it with you, don't lose it, maybe one day you'll be able to use it. When you arrive in Yanguo, you will be safe, you can enter the Yanjing Academy, practice the strengths of each family, and even worship my uncle as a teacher. ”

Ji Lieqi said: "Yan Kingdom also has a school palace? ”

Yan Eighteen glanced at him, as if he was looking at a lonely idiot: "If the wind and clouds rise together today, which Wancheng monarch does not have a learning palace?" The State of Qi has a Jixia School Palace, and the Yongguo State also has the Moshan Academy, so even Nanchu heard that there was a polemic. As for the Song Kingdom, the rising stars are still lacking. "An old-fashioned look.

"Oh." Ji Lie's face turned red, he had only heard of the Jixia School Palace of the Qi State, where there were many talents, and it was a place where all the families and factions in the world looked forward to.

Yan Shibai patted Ji Lie's shoulder: "I'm leaving, this little chick on your shoulder is very spirited, don't leave it at that!" After speaking, he faced Xiao Yu again, smiled shyly at her, and bowed deeply.

"Don't pass it." Ji Lie muttered to himself.

Yan didn't go back to the hillside, he chose to walk on the front of the hillside, the road was free of weeds and thorns, maybe because someone came up from the back, they felt very inconvenient, so they opened a small path in front of it.

Ji Lie didn't rush down, he watched Yan 18 board another carriage in front of him, and also found another group of black-clothed people next to the carriage, and then, Yan 18 walked away, he turned his eyes to the big river again, his mind didn't know where it floated, gradually, he couldn't see the waves rising and falling, and he couldn't hear a trace of wind, until there was a warmth in his palm.

"Hou Zi, Hou Zi ......"

At some point, the beautiful little maid took his hand, raised her quiet beautiful eyes, and looked at him worriedly.

"Let's go down."

Ji Lie smiled gently, took Xiao Yu's hand and walked down the mountain, he did not take the front, but chose the way he came.

Walking through the weeds and thorns, Ji Lie's every step fell very heavy, because he led Xiao Yu and couldn't show his body, one foot was high and one foot was low, but she didn't break free of his hand.

"Hou Zi, Xiao Yu will protect you, and will not let anyone push you into the river, nor will anyone secretly cut off your head!" When she said this, Xiao Yu's skirt was torn by thorns, but her eyes were as bright as snow.

"Call me Ji Lie."

Ji Lie's figure paused and tightened the small hand in his palm. "Hmm." Xiao Yu clasped Ji Lie's hand with his backhand, his face turned red, but his expression became more and more resolute.

……

The peach blossoms bloomed and thanked, and in the endless peach forest, the birds stood on the treetops and sang crisp songs, the insects arched out of the moist soil and crawled on the fallen flowers, and the wheels of the carriage rolled over, rolling the insects and fallen flowers into the soil, but the birds flew down the treetops and landed on the roof of the car, and brought the fragrance of peach blossoms.

"Ahem......"

Yan Eighteen was allergic to the fragrance of flowers, clenched his fists and coughed a few times, then pulled the collar on his neck, and pulled the big dan out of some open air, Ji Lie was right, the reason why he wore the big dan was not because of the Xuanniao on it, but because he looked more burly, but his body couldn't be cold or hot, and he would get sick if it was too cold or too hot.

Now, he's feeling a little dizzy.

"Houzi."

Hearing the sound of coughing, the carriage in front stopped, and the old Yan envoy got out of the carriage and walked over, stood by the window, and handed in a glass bottle and a thin silver spoon.

Yan Shibai took the valuable glass bottle, took a little green liquid from it with a thin silver spoon, and then licked it into his stomach little by little with the tip of his tongue, and then, closed his eyes and exhaled a long breath, laughing at himself: "It's hard to buy a good horse for a thousand dollars, it's hard to find a life medicine for ten thousand dollars, and the waste of such a small bottle of medicine can be made into more than a dozen chariots, but it's a pity that it is used on me, a fool." Should I value it for me, or should it not be worth it? ”

Yan envoy said with concern: "Hou Zi must not be presumptuous, this dragon fly grass pith is extremely precious, but it is not worth mentioning compared to Hou Zi's safety, the king asked the doctor Master Qin for it, which shows that the king values Hou Zi." ”

Yan Eighteen didn't speak, and after a while, he slowly opened his eyes, and a round of red flew on his face, but his complexion was obviously much better, and he handed the bottle and silver spoon to Yan Envoy.

Yan Envoy took over the matter and said with a smile: "This son of Song Ji, what does Hou Zi think?" ”

At this time, Ziying, who was standing by the other car window, suddenly said: "These guards of his should be the Iron Warriors of the Song Kingdom, the famous palace guards, a total of one hundred and eight people, all of whom are warriors in a thousand miles, and the close guards of the Song Hou." ”

"Court guards?" Yan Envoy thought for a while, and his expression gradually became solemn: "In this way, maybe that Song Hou is the same as the king." ”

"It's different."

Yan Shibai shook his head and said lazily: "These guards should have followed the little marquis of the Song Kingdom to Shaotai City, and this is not enough to prove Song Hou's attitude. Even if there is a difference, it is the love for the little marquis, not Ji Lie. After all, people's hearts will change, and this is how easy it is to count. ”

"Hou Zi Gaojian." Yan made a silence.

Ziying said again: "What Hou Zi said is, but there is a person among these people, if Ziying guessed correctly, he should be Yin Rang!" ”

"Yin Rang?"

Yan Envoy's expression was moved, and Yan Eighteen was slightly stunned.

Ziying said: "Yes, the first swordsman of the Song Kingdom, the second swordsman in the world, the direct descendant of King Yin, and the heir of the Mo family, Yin Rang." If Ziying fights with him, he will be defeated by him without ten swords. But if it is a battle, Ziying will not be able to meet anyone in the world, even if he is facing the general and Yan Shi! "The expression is calm, and he is not humble because his skills are inferior to others, and when he says the last sentence, he is arrogant.

Hearing the name Yin Rang, Yan Envoy had an extremely strange expression on his face, he hesitated for a while, but he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you say that he is Yin Rang of the Mo family?" The Mo family's disguise technique is comparable to that of the doctor! ”

Ziying said: "A person's appearance can change, but some things will never change, such as a priceless sword. And I happened to see such a sword, the black and white sword of the Mo family! In the world, the only people who have seen it are the Mo family, although I am not a child of the Mo family, but I have seen it, my father should know that I have seen it there, just at the head of my father's bed, its portrait is hanging there, and any trace of it is engraved in my mind! It's just that I don't know if the person who uses this sword has changed, whether he kills or not! ”

"Yin Rang, Yin Rang, is it really Yin Rang who betrayed his teacher and abandoned his sect? I'm going to find him and reclaim the black and white sword! Yan Envoy turned his head to look at the road he had come from, his face flushed, his expression distorted, and a sword hanging from his waist.

Ziying said: "Father, you are not his opponent, besides, your sword is not sharp. ”

Yan Envoy said angrily: "I have to go, even if I die under his sword, the black and white sword is in his hand, it is shame and blasphemy!" ”

"Teacher, I'm tired......"

At this time, Yan Shibai was suddenly tired, he leaned towards the wall of the car softly with Da Yu in his arms, closed his eyes, and his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was really asleep.

Yan Envoy put down his raised right foot, paused with the hand pressing the sword, closed his eyes again, his expression gradually calmed down, and he saluted Yan Eighteen, and then, stepping on a fallen flower, rubbing it deeply into the soil, and walking towards his carriage.

The convoy continued to set off and drove towards Shaotai City.
