Jingcheng is a closed city, as the name suggests, a city built according to the gate. April 18, this is a good day, the sun is gentle, the air is fresh, Ji Lie and others left Moxianglou early in the morning, and then went out of the city, straight to the Scorpion Pass outside the city.

"Crunch, crunch."

Huo Xun led the thin horse, the thin horse pulled the cart, Ji Lie walked on the right side of the cart, beside him was a gurgling stream, scattered bamboo leaves floating on the surface of the stream, swinging towards Guanshan with the stream.

Xiao Yu is Ji Lie's tail, she followed closely behind Ji Lie, her beautiful little face was full of joy, everything went well, the powerful Ji Huai got the customs clearance in the same night, and humiliated Xiao Hei from the side, of course, no one would pay attention to the emotions of the little witch, and there was no movement in the night, whether it was Yin Yuewei or the woman, they all disappeared without a trace, and everyone was relieved.

"Goo." The evil bird flew to the head of the thin horse, and the thin horse kept flapping his ears to fan it off, but the poor thin horse forgot that it was a horse and not a rabbit, and that its ears could not reach the evil man standing on his forehead. Then the lustful and timid little bird became even more proud, and while waving its wings, it shouted proudly, like a general who was on a horse march.

Scorpion Pass stands on the mountainside, it is one of the passes connecting Chen and Zhaoguo, there is a fortress on the pass, and the sun shines on the ancient and cold wall, casting a dark shadow.

On the wall, there are two tall stone statues, one is a martial artist, the left is a martial statue, wearing armor and a big hat, according to the sword to look at the four directions, the right is a literary statue, wearing a wide robe and holding the festival, looking at the distance calmly, the eyes of the two stone statues are extremely profound, looking at them from a distance, as if being in the long river of time, appreciate the vicissitudes of the might.

They represent the first and eighth monarchs of the Lu Kingdom, and these two stone statues symbolize exploration and protection. However, hundreds of years later, they are still standing here proudly drinking the wind and snow, but the country of Lu was destroyed by a flood, if they have spirits, I don't know if they will be sad for this?

In the land of Zhongzhou, such history and classics abound, I don't know how many heroes have fallen silently, and I don't know how many heroes are growing.

Ji Lie and his entourage came to the fortress, the little black witch officer shouted loudly with the customs clearance Muwen, the leader of the armor soldiers on the wall ordered people to put down the hanging basket, Xiao Hei put the blood on the basket, the leader of the armor looked at the Muwen carefully, and looked at the crowd under the wall suspiciously, did not say a word, but waved his hand violently.

"Bang ......"

The heavy city gate was twisted open by an iron chain as thick as a child's arm, and it was lifted up inch by inch, as if a huge and hideous beast opened its mouth, Huo Xun led the thin horse in, and Ji Lie and the others followed.

The wall was dark and cold, and there was a rancid smell inside, and even the road that was originally a bluestone slab had turned black because of the passage of time, and the mud paste that had accumulated for an unknown number of years was run over by the wheels, and a 'bang' splashed out of the cracks in the stones, shooting Xiao Hei's face all over his face.

"It stinks." Xiao Yu covered her nose.

Fortunately, this wall road is not long, after walking for a while, the sun on the opposite side is shining on the road crossing, everyone goes out of the narrow wall road in turn, facing the urn city, the leader of the armor and a team of armor soldiers wind down from the wall, and hand the customs clearance document to Xiao Hei.

"You're from the Song Kingdom?" The leader of the armor asked.

Xiao Hei replied, "Yes." ”

The leader of the armor took another look at Xiao Yu, because of the beauty of the little maid, he was obviously confused, Xiao Hei walked over, trying to block his sight, but his stature was too short to stop him at all, Xiao Hei could only wave his hand at Huo Xun: "Let's go, before dark, we have to rush to Luoyan Town!" ”

"Hey......

The leader of the armor smiled coldly and waved his hand to let him go.

Just as everyone was about to pass out of the other side of the urn city, the leader of the armor suddenly said loudly: "Be careful on the road, the front is not very peaceful. ”

"Thank you."

Xiao Hei turned around and waved at him, but signaled Huo Xun to hurry up with his eyes, the little wizard thought to himself, these Guancheng generals have been stationed outside all the year round, all of them are like wolves and tigers, God knows, what does the look in his eyes at the little maid mean.

As soon as he got out of the Scorpion Pass, the evil bird flew out of Xiao Yu's sleeve and jumped on the forehead of the thin horse again, and everyone's minds seemed to be relaxed because of its liveliness.

The horse's hooves forward.

……

The sun gently caressed the treetops, Ji Lie leaned against the tree and nibbled on the bracken cake, Xiao Yu also gnawed obediently on the side, her eating appearance was very elegant, first biting the edge of the vegetable cake with four snow-white teeth, and then slightly straining the teeth into it, and finally gently putting the vegetable cake into her mouth with the tip of her tongue, chewing slowly without making any sound. But even so, she turned her back to Ji Lie, because she didn't want Hou Zi to see her eating, but Xiao Hei saw it.

Xiao Hei was opposite her, in a daze like a piece of black wood, he had never seen such a bracken cake, like what? Oh yes, like an elegant little mouse.

"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Hei coldly, and turned around with a cake that had already bitten out a crescent moon, not wanting to, but turned around and faced Ji Lie again.

Ji Lie's eating appearance is not so good-looking, he tore it with his hands, tore off a large piece fiercely, and then put it in his mouth to chew, and drank a sip of water from time to time. The evil bird was on his lap, it looked up at Ji Lie's mouth that was opening and closing, it was waiting, waiting for the crumbs to roll out of it, this guy is now not taboo in meat and vegetables, and no longer only eats bran grains like before.

Xiong Zhan and Huo Xun turned out the armor hidden under the cart, fortunately, these valuable iron armor were not checked, perhaps because their appearance was too shabby, and the thin horse was too thin, so the people defending the city could see through it.

Tian Li and Tian Zhong were also beside the carriage, they were archers, and they could not wear such heavy armor, but this was not difficult for the brothers, who were using their swords to divide the armor into pieces, and then connected them with strips of cloth, and soon made two sets of busts that could protect key parts such as the chest, back, and crotch.

Song Rang stood alone holding his sword and standing at the outermost part of the forest, his eyes looked at the winding yellow sand road, and the dense weeds on both sides, this is the Scorpion Pass wilderness, often facing wars, unsuitable for living, so there are no villages nearby, and there is no farmland.

Ji Ying unloaded the cart, and asked Huo Xun to cut down two trees with an axe, and they were removing the branches on it, they were going to make a carriage for Ji Lie, after all, they had now entered the territory of Zhaoguo, and the little black wizard was carrying the national letter in his arms, so they no longer had to pretend to be civilians.

Huo Xun used to be a carpenter, and his double axe made it fast and ruthless, and in a short time, a simple carriage was completed with the concerted efforts of everyone. Ji Ying walked towards Ji Lie, wiped the sweat on his face, and said with a smile: "Hou Zi, please get in the car, and walk thirty miles northwest again, and we can rest in Luoyan Town." ”

Ji Lie clapped his hands, twisted up the evil who was pecking at the cake crumbs on his legs, threw it on his shoulder, pulled out the tiger evil sword inserted beside him, and walked towards the carriage with Ji Ying, Xiao Yu followed behind, she was staring at Ji Lie's witch official fiercely, because Xiao Wu official couldn't help but mutter: "Like a mouse." ”

"Houzi!"

When Ji Lie was holding the hem of his robe and stepping into the carriage, Ji Ying's voice sounded beside him, the voice was rapid and short, with a tense atmosphere, Ji Lie looked at it, the sun was sprinkled in the yellow sand road, with a faint halo, and the weeds beside the road swayed like waves in the breeze, no different, but the people around him were different.

Ji Ying raised her shield and set up her sword, and the little maid flew to the wheel and stood beside Ji Lie, the bald bear Zhan carried the war hammer, Huo Xun carried the double axe in front of the carriage, and the Tian brothers took off the bow and held it in their hands, staring into the distance. As for Blackie, this guy is shrewd, he sneakily walked to the carriage and looked under the wheels.

Song Rang, he also retreated, standing in front of Xiong Zhan and Huo Xun, his eyes were cold, his expression was calm, and the hand holding the sword had already buckled the sword.

"Hoof it, hoof it ......"

The belated sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and Ji Lie stood high and saw far away, and vaguely saw a glimmer of light flickering ahead, and this light was particularly familiar to him, it was the reflection of the iron armor when it was illuminated by the sun.

Song Rang turned his head and glanced at Ji Ying,

Ji Ying said: "Hou Zi, please enter the car." ”

Ji Lie nodded and got into the carriage, after all, they couldn't always be on guard, that would be too eye-catching.

"Let's go."

The carriage moved forward slowly, the sound of horses' hooves in front of it was getting closer and closer, and the heartbeats of the people in and under the car involuntarily slowed down, perhaps, this was just a false alarm, or perhaps, this was another bitter battle, who knows?

Hopefully, just passing by, the little wizard thought silently in his heart.

Unfortunately, the little black wizard's idea did not come true, and he saw the knight in his armor running straight towards the carriage, his hooves flying and splashing yellow sand, and the knight's helmet had a spike on it, and a bright yellow tassel floated at the tail of the spike.

"Herod'......"

The knight who came at high speed pulled up the reins fifty paces away from the carriage, and the horse stood up with his front hooves raised, and the knight was extremely skillful, and his legs were tightly clamped between the horse's belly, and he drew the iron sword at his waist and pointed at the carriage.

"Boom!"

In the eyes of everyone, the heavy horse's hooves slowly fell, and the yellow sand swung in all directions like water waves, and the knight maintained the posture of pointing at the carriage without saying a word, but the faces of the people around the carriage all changed.

Silence, deathly silence.

The wind swept the helmet on the knight's helmet, and the knight's whole body was hidden in his armor, no one knew who he was, he looked at the carriage coldly, looked at Ji Lie in the car, and then, taking something out of his arms, carrying it with the tip of his sword, respectfully placed it on the weeds beside the road, and then turned the horse's head, slapped the horse's buttocks with his sword, and walked away.

Ji Lie got up on his knees, walked out of the carriage, carried the Tiger Evil Sword, and silently walked towards the things on the grass, no one stopped him, Xiao Yu shouted behind him: "Houzi!" ”

Ji Lie turned his head and smiled at Xiao Yu, the little maid in the sun was so beautiful, her tight waist and deep skirt lined her like a flower fairy, but the color was so dazzling.

Song Kingdom, Shang Huang, the land of the five elements.
