Chapter Twenty-Three: The Wise Witch Officer

The cold moonlight fell to the ground through the shadows of the trees, and it was faintly indistinct, and a black snake suddenly sprang up from the damp and soft deciduous bushes, and it opened its fangs and bit Ji Lie with blood.

Ji Lie's eyes were looking into the distance, he didn't notice that he stepped on its tail at all, and saw that Ji Lie was about to be bitten in the neck, at this moment, the evil bird on Ji Lie's shoulder suddenly screamed, and pecked at the black snake with a sharp beak, and at the same time, a sharp arrow came from top to bottom, and the precise angle actually pierced the upright black snake from head to tail, like a black stick stuck on the ground.

"Houzi!"

The figure on the tree flashed, Tian Li jumped down the tree with a horn bow, grabbed Ji Lie's shoulder and shook it, Ji Lie didn't come back to his senses for a while, death, the first time he was so close, so close that it was terrifying, at that moment, the door of the dark abyss seemed to open inch by inch in front of him, a black hand stretched out from the door and grabbed himself, but he couldn't move, and the extremely quiet fear made people forget their heartbeat.

"Houzi, Houzi!!"

Tian Li shook violently twice, Ji Lie came back to his senses, and looked at the dead black snake that was already dead, and was pierced by a sharp arrow upright and inserted into the ground, this black snake is not long or thick, the waist is only the thickness of a thumb, but the mouth is very large, the sharp fangs have been pecked off by the evil spirit, the red claws of the evil snake are grabbing the mouth of the black snake to both sides, and its head has been drilled into the snake's mouth, it seems to want to get into the snake's mouth, all the way to the stomach, and eat up the meat inside.

"Curse the evil!"

Ji Lie was startled, and was trying to stop the unrealistic idea of the evil bird, but who knows, Zhu Xie turned his head to look at him, the eyes the size of a bean rolled, and then turned around hurriedly, 'whoosh', and drilled in, and then saw that the snake corpse was stretched thicker and thicker, obviously, the evil was drilling inside.

"Punish the evil, come out quickly!" Ji Lie was sweating profusely, afraid that the evil would be melted by the unknown snake, so he raised his sword and wanted to cut it, but he was afraid that one would accidentally kill the evil spirit, so he could only circle around the snake stick, but he was at a loss.

At this time, the people in the camp had already woken up, and they rushed over, Song Rang came closer, glanced at the black snake, looked awkward, and walked towards the river with a sword.

"Plop!"

Song Rang threw the person in his hand to the ground like throwing a chicken, and the person was hit hard, but he didn't cry out in pain, but stubbornly raised his head and looked directly at Song Rang. He is Xiao Hei, holding a Xun tightly in his arms, and the cold and deep voice of Fang Cai is Xun Sheng.

Xiao Yu looked at the Xun fixedly, his face became whiter and whiter, and his snow-white teeth were about to bite his lower lip to bleed, and he said coldly: "How do you know that Hou Zi likes Xunsheng?" What kind of snake is this? ”

The beautiful little maid absolutely did not believe that this was just a coincidence, so coincidentally, on the night when she had just left Anguo, it sounded appropriately by the river, luring Hou Zi to go alone, and then it was so coincidental that this snake was not elsewhere, but on Hou Zi's way to the river? Xiao Yu has always been very smart, it's just that she doesn't like to show it, her expression is cold, but she asks very smartly, asking questions that don't matter first, followed by fatal.

"I ......," Hei opened his mouth to speak.

At this time, he heard a 'cooing' sound, and then, the little head of the evil snake came out of the gallbladder of the black snake, and a snake gall rushed to Ji Lie's shoulder with a snake gall in its mouth, and it was not in a hurry to eat, but it flapped its wings very proudly and screamed happily.

Ji Lie breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little black witch, who turned his head and didn't look at him: "Can't I like Xun?" The nobles all love the bells, but I love the sound of the horn, is this also a sin? As for this snake, I don't know what you're talking about. ”

"Watch Hou Zi talk!"

Ji Ying walked over and wanted to use the sword to lift Xiao Hei's chin, but Xiao Hei stubbornly didn't want to raise his head, and the cold and sharp blade instantly cut through the surface skin, and a circle of blood seeped onto the sword.

"Hahaha......"

Maybe it was because of fear, or maybe it was because of the sting, Xiao Hei laughed wildly, laughed for a while, slowly turned his chin along the blade, dragged out a circle of blood, and looked straight at Ji Lie: "I do know that you like Xunsheng, and I know that you like this song, but this snake has nothing to do with me." Squinting his eyes, he looked at Yiying: "You can do it, I know, you want to kill me when you are on the boat." As he spoke, he glared angrily at Xiao Yu: "And you, you can't protect him yourself, so you just sprinkle your anger on me, ridiculous, how ridiculous!" ”

"Haha......" Xiao Hei laughed again, laughing and shouting: "Let's do it, I'm not afraid of you, anyway, if you follow you to Yan Kingdom, you will probably die!" ”

"Fulfill you!"

Ji Ying glanced at Song Rang, and seeing that Song Rang's face was expressionless, he was about to send the sword into Xiao Hei's throat, but a huge war hammer stretched out from the side and resisted Xi Ying's sword.

"Xiong Zhan, what do you mean by that?" Ji Ying said coldly.

Xiong Zhan looked at Xiao Hei, who was covered with blood, with a trace of unbearability in his eyes, and turned to face Ji Lie: "To kill or not, it is up to Hou Zi to decide." ”

To kill or not to kill? Ji Lie felt a pain in his eyebrows, frowned and pulled out his sword, and walked towards Xiao Hei, Xiao Hei smiled coldly, raised his neck, and didn't want to, but Ji Lie cut the snake stick in two with a backhand sword, and said coldly: "I don't care where you learned that I like Xunsheng, but I choose to believe you." With that, Ji Lie walked towards the carriage. Whether it was a coincidence or deliberate, he didn't bother to guess, he was really tired, he just wanted to lie in the car and sleep well, waiting for the sun to rise tomorrow.

……

The sun came out and hung over the treetops.

A group of several people packed up and began to go on the road, strictly speaking, there is no road ahead, this is a wild forest, Ji Ying proposed to go east, maybe he can find Hengchuan Du, and embark on the established trajectory in the past, but his idea was quickly refuted by Tian Chong, if he keeps going east, he will be blocked by the mountains outside the forest, Tian Zhong has already reached the end of the east of the forest when he hunted rabbits yesterday.

Everyone looked at Ji Lie, waiting for him to decide.

Ji Lie ordered Xiong Zhan to call Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei reluctantly came to the head of the team, with a circle of linen wrapped around his chin, his nose was cocked high, and he looked like he was not afraid of death.

What a stubborn black carbon head, Ji Lie smiled secretly in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "You are my witch, since you are destined to follow us all the way, then please be a competent witch and tell me where this is?" ”

Only then did everyone remember that Xiao Hei was a witch official, and the witch officials may not be the smartest in the world, but they were undoubtedly the most knowledgeable, and they lived in the vast sea of books all their lives, knowing astronomy, geography, and the customs of various vassal states.

Moreover, Ji Lie knew in his heart that this little black knew that he liked Xun, so it was enough to prove that he was not small, and he might even be the next witch cultivated by the old witch.

However, this little black, who might become a witch, still did not sell it, he raised his nose and did not speak, and his eyes showed a look of pride and disdain. His appearance deeply stimulated Xiao Yu, and the beautiful little maid immediately made him pay, she just stood on the wheel, grabbed him by the back collar, lifted him up like a black dog, and said softly: "If you are rude to Hou Zi again, I will turn you into a puddle of meat sauce." After thinking about it, he added: "It's like on the deck." ”

"Vomit ......"

Short, thin and scarry, Xiao Hei was struggling desperately, and when he heard the words 'on deck', he shuddered violently, and then his pupils were dilated, apparently remembering the terrible scene, and he grabbed his neck and vomited.

Xiao Yu waited for him to retch for a while, threw him on the ground, and looked at him coldly.

Xiao Hei's face showed a look of struggle, and after a while, he turned his head, not daring to look at Xiao Yu, but faced Ji Lie and said, "Since I am your witch official, then I should be respected." ”

Ji Lie said: "Here, no one disrespects you. ”

Xiao Hei took a deep breath, as if he had made some difficult decision, and said with his chest puffed out: "Since you respect me, then I am your witch officer, and from now on, I should be responsible for submitting the credentials and clearing the customs documents." ”

"Naturally, you're responsible." Ji Lie nodded.

Xiao Hei's eyes lit up, revealing snow-white teeth: "Since you respect me so much, then I am willing to offer my knowledge and wisdom, this was the territory of the Lu State before, since the Lu State was swallowed up by the Liuyuan River, it has changed its owner and belongs to the Chen State." And the mountain in the east is the Qishan Mountain Range, eighty miles to the east can reach the country of Zhao, the country of Zhao and the country of Anguo have always been friendly, in the east of the country of Zhaoguo, facing the East China Sea, there is still a land of no one in the country. ”

Ji Lie waited patiently for him to finish speaking, and said, "We won't go to the East China Sea, we will go to Yan Kingdom." ”

"It's a pity."

Xiao Hei shook his head and said slowly: "Even if we can't go to Hengchuandu, I'm afraid we should still go east along the mountain range to see if we can meet the caravan heading to Zhaoguo in Jingcheng in the east, and then find a way to buy customs clearance scripts from them." ”

Xiao Yu frowned and said, "Why do you want to buy customs clearance from the caravan?" Don't we have a national credential? Besides, we can't afford to spend our money indiscriminately! ”

Xiao Hei spread his hands and said helplessly: "Because Chen and An Guo are not friendly, one hundred and twenty years ago, An Guo captured the monarch of Chen State, eighty years ago, Chen State and An Guo fought a decisive battle in Surabaya, and both monarchs died in battle, until last year's Battle of Huaqi, although An Guo and Chen Guo were both Song State Alliance, but in the end, there was still friction because of the problem of grabbing the road, resulting in dozens of chariots rolling into the river. What would happen if we went to submit our credentials to clear the border at this time? ”

Xiao Yu squinted her beautiful eyes and didn't speak.

Ji Lie sighed: "Then let's go to Jingcheng." ”

Just as he was about to set off, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped the carriage again and waved towards the carriage: "Please get out of the carriage!" ”

Everyone looked at Xiao Hei one after another, especially Xiao Yu who opened the curtain, her expression was extremely unkind, but Xiao Hei didn't seem to see it, lazily puffed up her chest, and said lightly: "If Hou Zi doesn't want to be too eye-catching, then please get out of the car, because we can enter Jingcheng as civilians." ”

Xiong Zhan touched his bald head and said, "What about the carriage?" ”

Ji Lie got out of the car with his sword and said indifferently: "Horses can stay and not violate the ban, and the carriage can be made into a board car, and it is not forbidden." Well, your armor must be removed, and your weapons can be taken with you. ”

The corners of Xiao Hei's mouth were crooked, revealing two snow-white teeth.

At this time, Ji Ying stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Hou Zi, what should that woman do?" ”

Ji Lie looked back, and in the distance, the woman was squatting in the grass and munching on bracken cakes, holding a half-burned branch in her hand, and she was tugging at it tightly, wary of the wind and grass around her.

"And by her."
