Xiao Yuan went to the Northern Tang Dynasty, and Kou Zichan Shizhi ** hid in the Northern Tang Dynasty.

Hearing Xiao Yuan say that he hid the manuscript of "The Secret History of Hulan" on his body, Xu Ruyu was shocked, although he couldn't see the front of Qi Yishan, he could hear that his voice had a trace of mutation of extreme suppression and joy.

Xu Ruyu secretly thought: If you make a move at this time, Xiao Yuan may not trust me to lead me to find Mr. Kou, Qi Yishan is not greedy enough, and he is afraid that he will get both people and books, so he will wait for them in the Northern Tang City.

After a ride on the back, it was determined that Qi Yishan would not take the book and leave for a while, so Xu Ruyu left quietly.

Yanmen Mountain is steep and steep, the snake road and beast path hidden among the craggy and strange rocks are not enough for people to pass, Xu Ruyu is afraid of losing his direction in the forest, a little far away from Qi Yishan and others, so he will go all out in this uninhabited mountain and wilderness, sweeping the treetops, like a light cloud out of Xiu, and the Yanmen Pass City will be swept away, and the snow will not fall along the way, and the birds will not be surprised.

Xu Ruyu was afraid that Peng Muqiu would pass by, so he first went around to the south of Guancheng to make sure that Peng Muqiu had not yet left the pass, and then walked along the mountain road towards Yanmen Guancheng.

The city is built on the top of the pole, the peaks and peaks on both sides are staggered, the crags are gloomy, only a big road with two horses driving side by side also circles and curves, and the mountain road passes through the city, which is extremely dangerous.

Xu Ruyu looked up at the Guancheng, the circumference of the Guancheng is two miles, the wall is two feet high, the stone seat is brick, and the pheasant is the tooth. Secretly wondering: This pass is majestic, there is no open ground in front of the crossbow to throw stones, and it is impossible to deploy superior forces.

I thought that in the past 200 years, the Hulan people crossed Yanshan and invaded southward, and most of them avoided Yanmen Pass, and started from Ningwu Pass and Partial Pass in the west. From the Yanmen of Daiyi to the partial pass of the river meander, the straight road is three hundred miles, the mountains are staggered, but the remaining veins of Yanshan are more and more easy to the west of the mountain, in addition to the Guancheng, it is not difficult to find the mountain road to infiltrate the Guannei, but the Guancheng is not lost, the Hulan people can not capture the Xiongcheng Beitang, and they can not stand in the Guannei, and they just plunder in the Guan, and then leave the mountain.

It's just that a hundred years ago, the Hulan invasion was the most dangerous, Ningwu Pass guarded the Hu, Hulan Iron Cavalry directly crossed Ningwu Pass to attack the Northern Tang Dynasty, 100,000 Iron Cavalry poured into the Guannei like a torrent, even Xiangzhou, Wu'an, Shangdang, Changping Zhucheng, in October, Fenjun was in danger of being lost.

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: The scale of Hulan's southern invasion will not be weaker than that one hundred years ago.

There is no snow on the road, but it is cloudy and cold, and depending on the weather, there will be another heavy snow covering the ground at night.

Xu Ruyu found a restaurant on the side of the road outside the gate and went in.

It wasn't dinner time, but there were only four or five wrinkled, dark-skinned men in leather jackets and short knives at their waists in the restaurant, and they were talking about what happened in the city of Mayi in the early morning. Xu Ruyu thought to himself: This news spread so quickly, it is a hundred miles away from Ma Yi here, and the men who run the single gang can't be in such a hurry, Wen Xianyong can pass the news through the Han family first.

The middle-aged man on the left was silent, when Xu Ruyu entered the room and lifted the curtain, he saw his eyes lifted, his eyes stopped for a moment on Xu Ruyu's face and then lowered his mind, the young man on his side couldn't help but look at him when he spoke, Xu Ruyu smiled slightly, and thought: There are a lot of masters gathered in this area, but this young man is not as calm as the middle-aged man, who are they waiting for?

Xu Ruyu found a table a little far away from the fire and sat down, listened for a while, and saw that they were talking about gambling again, so he put his mind outside.

Through the thick curtains, I drank hot soup and listened to the movement outside. On the Yanmen Pass Road in the afternoon, except for the occasional private mules and horses, there are few travelers. At the end of the year, the private gang of this licensed goods also returned home and stopped, and the road became more and more deserted. The hooves of the green horse ridden by Peng Muqiu were as hard as iron, stepping on the hard soil of the pass, the sound was completely different from other horses, Xu Ruyu was not afraid of sitting in the store and missing it, thinking: If Peng Muqiu had no delay, he should pass the Yanmen Pass today.

In cloudy weather, there are thick curtains and heavy curtains, the house is as dark as night, the house is burning with a fire, and the red reflects the four walls.

The horse's hooves were heard all the time, but in the blink of an eye, the sound of the horse's hooves was near, and the sound of kicking was like thunder, and the middle-aged man stood up and shouted, "Good horse, so fast." The sound of the horse's hoofs had ceased in front of the shop, and the crowd looked together toward the curtain.

The curtain was lifted, and a cold wind poured in, and the people in the store couldn't help but shrink their necks. The man on horseback stood at the door and looked inside, dressed in green clothes, with a thin face and a handsome face, and his hair was crossed with a wooden hairpin.

Everyone couldn't help but look through the gap in the door curtain, and sure enough, there was a blue horse stopped behind them.

The middle-aged man said "Huh" and said, "You are not the person who said Ma Yi yesterday?" ”

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: He is not from the Han family, what other news will spread so quickly? Xu Ruyu's cloud walking skills were far from being comparable to ordinary galloping horses, and he only delayed for a while on Yanmen Mountain, and the family had already sent the news to the personnel to wait here.

Xu Ruyu couldn't help but glance at the man, with a purple face, staggered tendons on his hands, and a thin gray cloth jacket, blocking the cold air pouring in from the door, but he didn't shrink his neck like others.

Peng Muqiu didn't want Xu Ruyu to wait for him, he stood at the door in a daze, he didn't know what had happened, and when he heard the middle-aged man say this, he came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Who do you think it is?" He said to the cousin who had already greeted him, "I have tethered the horse to the door, you can add some forage, and don't go around behind the horse's buttocks." ”

Seeing Xu Ruyu signaling to let him pass, he walked over for some reason.

The man noticed Xu Ruyu at this time, and stood there in a daze, only to feel that his plain eyes were full of vitality in an instant, as clear as the starry sky, and he was shocked in his heart, and thought: Good Tibetan Yuan, I saw such a person walking in, but I didn't care, this person has a good relationship with General Hu, so it seems that it is by no means as simple as the news says. Giving the young man beside him a look, the man bowed slightly, stood up and said, "Grandma's bear, this snow is about to fall, I hope to get to Daicheng in time." Seeing that the people didn't move, they kicked one by one and scolded: "Just now I was talking about going to Daicheng to find a white, tender and delicate girl to be a mattress, and now the bird is soft?" Everyone scolded and scolded him and lifted the curtain and walked out of the store, except for the cousin and the guy, only the middle-aged man, Xu Ruyu and Peng Muqiu.

The middle-aged man walked towards Xu Ruyu, smiled, and said, "Zhuoyi Lou Qingzhi has seen Li Ye. ”

The Knowles are the big family of Youji, Lou Qingzhi is here, and it seems that Youji also attaches great importance to the situation in the Yanmen area. Looking at the situation in the store, this store has eight points that may be the news station of Youji.

Xu Ruyu saw that he instantly knew that he was the rumored person in Ma Yi, and he was extremely shrewd, and said with a smile: "I don't know what Lou Ye and Fan Yang Cai Yuhua call him?" ”

Cai Yuhua is a member of the Cai clan, but one of his clans is in Hejian Province.

Lou Qingzhi said: "Li Ye is asking about Cai Ye in Hejian? ”

Xu Ruyu patted his head and said: "Oh, there are many people in the Youji Cai family, and there are many branches, outsiders only know Fan Yang Cai, and Cai Ye is the deacon of Fan Yang Foundation Gentang, so I thought he was also a fan Yang sect." Let Lou Ye smile. But I don't know what to call Lou Ye and Ju Yongwei Lou Yu? ”

The most famous person of the Knowles is Ju Yongwei Lou Yu, Lou Qingzhi secretly thought: he deliberately said that the mistake was naturally to test his own reality, Cai's branch is complex, and outsiders rarely sort out the context, Cai Yuhua was originally only the head of the Shangnan Hall, and in recent years, he has been promoted very quickly, and now he is the chief deacon of the Foundation Gen Hall, in charge of the ordnance of Youji County. Half of the world's good weapons come from the foundation of Gentang, why did he mention Cai Yuhua alone? While thinking about it, he said: "Qing Zhi is ashamed of his brother. I thought again: This Li You was hiding too deeply, and he couldn't understand him, so he looked sideways at Peng Muqiu, and saw that they were dressed similarly, if he talked about appearance, but this person was heroic and handsome.

Peng Muqiu was wondering in his heart that Xu Ruyu was meeting him at this time, and it was inconvenient for Lou Qingzhi to ask because of Lou Qingzhi's presence.

Knowles are good at reconnaissance and stealth skills, and most of the clansmen are assassinated by the wind media, so although Knowles is a big clan in Zhuoyi, there are not many people who are famous and famous, and Lou Yu is a lieutenant of Juyong, quite a lieutenant in Jiangning, and he is already the most famous figure in Knowles. The person in front of him is still a step above himself in cultivation, but he is afraid that he is the general outpost of Youji on the front line of Yanmen.

Xu Ru smiled and said: "Cai Ye once gave me a batch of blades, if Lou Ye meets Cai Hua and speaks for me, I have always been very grateful in my heart." ”

During the Shangnan period, Xu Ruyu purchased a batch of standard sabers from the foundation of Gentang through Cai Yuhua to equip the original Qingyan Army. Cai Yi ordered the foundation of Gentang to send a batch of superb knives, which involved the secret of Xu Ruyu and Cai Jiazhi's life experience, and few people knew about it.

As long as Lou Qingzhi sent this back, Cai Yuhua and Cai Yi knew that Xu Ruyu was in Fen County.

Lou Qingzhi was thinking about the meaning of his words, Xu Ruyu got up and left with Peng Muqiu.

Lou Qingzhi said to the cousin: "I am afraid that the true identity of this Li You is only known to Master Cai of the Foundation Palace, and immediately Sanyu hurried to report this matter to Fan Yangyu. With that, he lifted the curtain and walked out, but he saw that he looked left and right, but there was no trace, only the chaotic horse's hooves knocked on the mountain road. Gritted his teeth and thought for a while, then turned around and chased down.

As soon as Xu Ruyu left the store, he untied the reins and handed it to Peng Muqiu, saying, "Hurry up, Lou Qingzhi is chasing after us, we won't have time to speak." ”

Peng Muqiu didn't know what was going on, and turned over on the horse with some difficulty, Xu Ruyu held the horse's neck with one hand, but followed Qingjun's side like a flowing cloud. While walking quickly, he told Peng Muqiu what he heard in Yanmen Mountain.

Xu Ruyu said: "Mr. Kou's ten-class ** is hiding in the Northern Tang City, and the power behind Qiyi Mountain is extremely strong, if it is really the power of Yaoguang Palace, it will be even more tricky." You quickly go to Zhao Jingyun and ask him to send people to join me. ”

Qingjun galloped like lightning, Peng Muqiu opened his mouth and felt the cold wind filling his mouth, but he didn't know how the adults said to themselves while running quickly, turned his head sideways, and said: "My lord, it's better to return to Jiangning, and we will deal with the affairs of the Northern Tang Dynasty." ”

Xu Ruyu shook his head and said: "Jingyun is wise, but you and Boyuan can't help it yet, you need to know that Mr. Kou alone can reach tens of thousands of iron riders in Hulan, and there is no room for loss." ”

Luo Boyuan's force is still high, but Zhao Jingyun can't control it, sooner or later, the various forces will detect clues from the affairs of Mayi City, Peng Muqiu's force can barely be regarded as a second-grade, but it is not outstanding in the Northern Tang City, where the master of the sudden change of wind and clouds meets, and Zhao Jingyun's force is even weaker.

Peng Muyun said: "My lord expects that Lou Qingzhi will chase after him, so it is better for us to get rid of him from Qidao." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "The mudier the water in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the more beneficial it is for us, if it is just us competing with the Yaoguang Palace in the Northern Tang Dynasty, the ** of the Ten will end in disgrace." If he doesn't chase him, I'll have to find another way to get the attention of Youji. Meng Tu reported what happened in Ma Yi back to Pingcheng, it is not difficult for Chu Shize to guess my identity, and sooner or later he will also turn his vision to the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Northern Tang Dynasty itself is the Xun family's sphere of influence, I wonder if Rong Yanmen's nose is so long? ”

Peng Muqiu said: "If the identity of the adult is revealed, it is difficult for other forces to stay, but Nanping is by no means easy to give each other, and I hope that the adult will think twice." ”

This time, there are only more than 300 people who sneaked into various places with Zhao Jingyun in the north, and it is estimated that only half of them can be mobilized.

Thinking about it like this, Peng Muqiu was quite worried, but Xu Ruyu made up his mind, but it was not something he could dissuade.

Xu Ruyu said: "You go to find Jingyun and them, and I will wait for Lou Qingzhi here." ”

Peng Muqiu answered, jumped down from the green horse, and disappeared into the dense forest next to the road.

Lou Qingzhi chased for several miles, heard the sound of horses' hooves slowed down, and thought: The foot strength of this beast is so amazing, I can't support it for a while. Seeing Xu Ruyu walking on the mountain road in front of him, he shouted loudly: "Where does Li Ye want to go, Qingzhi is on the same journey?" ”

Xu Rule stopped Qingjun and turned around and said, "Master Lou doesn't know where I want to go, how do you know that he will go with me?" ”

Lou Qingzhi calmed down and said: "Li Ye Qiyi is also a person, no matter where he goes, Qingzhi will accompany him, and he will gain something, so he also hopes that Li Ye will not give up." ”

Xu Ruyu saw that he didn't ask Peng Muqiu's whereabouts, and thought: It's a delicate character, and said: "I will go to the Northern Tang Dynasty, if Lou Ye is interested, you might as well go together." ”

Lou Qingzhi was shocked: the Northern Tang Dynasty is the important town of the Xun family in Xiangzhou, and Weihou Xunda is personally in charge, if the Xun family knows, this trip is tantamount to trapping oneself in a cage. I couldn't tell the difference from Xu Ruyu's face, and said: "The ancient name of the Northern Tang Dynasty was Taiyuan, the ancient emperor Tang Yao established the country here, and then Tang Yao moved the capital to Pingyang, Taiyuan is located in the north of Pingyang, the original name is the Northern Tang Dynasty, the Northern Tang Dynasty is based on the Fenshui Valley, a radius of 100 miles, the real estate is extremely abundant, and the east of the land is Taihang and Luliang two mountains, the two mountains confront each other, the shape is the place of victory, and the main road to communicate outside the plug. ”

Eleven years ago, Xu Ruyu went to the Northern Tang Dynasty with his father, and its city was surrounded by twenty-seven miles, the inner city was surrounded by four perimeters, and the surrounding mountains were surrounded by screens. Xiangzhou and Xinzhou in the north of Fen County are centered on the North Tang Dynasty, and Hulan only needs to capture the North Tang Dynasty and go south to capture Xiangzhou, Wu'an, Pingyang, Shangdang, and Changping Zhucheng, and it can also be said that the center of gravity of the area north of the river, west of the Taihang Mountain, and east of the river meander, the ancient Zhao State was the capital of the Northern Tang Dynasty for nearly a hundred years.

Xu Ru ignored Lou Qingzhi's temptation, and was silent along the way, only calculating the footsteps of Qi Yishan and others, and when he rushed to them, he slowed down, waited while walking, and when he was about to cross the city, he met the embarrassed Xiao Yuan, Qi Yishan, and Qi Yihai.
