Xu Ruyu couldn't bear to humiliate such a man, and said: "There are also many good friends among the Hu people, this horse and money were handed over to me by Li's friends Tuowen Xianyong and Mengtu, and they have nothing to do with Wen Xianyong, and I am not ashamed of Wen Xianyong's behavior, and I will never accept the horse he gifted." ”

Xiao Yuan said: "This kind of horse is also one in ten thousand in Hulan, except for Wen Xianyong and Meng Tu, who will have such a big deal?" Snorted coldly, "I don't see what you deserve him to do so?" Just as he was about to raise his fist and rush forward, he heard someone shouting from a distance: "Brother Xiao, slow down for the time being." ”

Xu Ruyu pursed his lips, his eyes slanted to the side, and the two people behind him strode to the side, it was the two who jumped out but did not fight with Mengtu, the one on the left was thirty-five or sixteen, with a short mustache on the upper lip, rough skin and wrinkled face, and had experienced risks for a long time, striding forward, wheezing slightly, his eyes were bright and bright, but his cultivation was a cut higher than Xiao Yuan in front of him, Shicai didn't pay attention, and when he saw it, he was shocked, such a good hand would not be willing to run a single gang; The man on the right was only in his early twenties, with strong bones and even flesh, and a dark red scar on the arch of his left eyebrow, both of them wrapped in green scarves, wearing thin earth-gray robes, animal tendons tied around their waists, and a short knife two feet long in each of them.

Xiao Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a rough voice: "Brother Qi, what are you doing here?" ”

The middle-aged man told what happened after Xiao Yuan left, and said: "I'm waiting to run a single gang in Hudi, who doesn't have a few acquaintances in Hudi?" This Li Ye rejected Hu Man's invitation in public, what are you stopping him for? He hugged his fist to Xu Ruyu and said: "Qi Yishan of the Northern Tang Dynasty has seen Li Ye, this is my brother, Qi Yihai." ”

Xu Ruyu bowed his head and said, "Thank you Qi Ye for explaining for me." ”

Xiao Yuan glanced at Xu Ruyu with horizontal eyebrows, took a sip, and said, "The people of Hulan are ambitious, and most of this friend will not be able to do it for long. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I think the situation in Ma Yi is still good, and this Hu and Han don't say that they will start fighting. ”

Qi Yishan said: "Li Ye is not a northerner, so he naturally does not know the crisis deeply. If Hulan has no ambitions, why is this city cut off for 16 years? Originally, the tea bricks, silk silks, and gold utensils that were very popular in the border market were banned, and now the goods that entered Hulan by private gangs and single gangs were mostly military materials such as iron tools, tung oil, wood, lacquer, mulberry wood, etc., and most of these goods stopped in Pingcheng, but they did not continue to disperse to Suiyuan. ”

Xu Ruyu's brows furrowed, and the eyes of each family were only staring at whether Suiyuan would send supplies to Pingcheng, and most of them did not expect the Hulan people to rectify their armaments in this way.

He arched his hand to Xiao Yuan and said, "Brother Xiao, our two hands are really not enough for that nonsense, if you want to do it, it will only increase the humiliation, you don't have to blame our brother." ”

Xiao Yuan snorted twice and said, "In the city, there is no room for that barbaric crime, and it is good that you can stand up, unlike those soft-footed shrimp." ”

Qi Yishan said: "Seeking wealth in the north of Yanshan depends on the faces of the Hulan people. I don't know where that nonsense comes from, it won't be easy to make Han Zhishan lick his ass. It seems that we can't mess around outside the customs, what are the plans of Brother Xiao? ”

Xiao Yuan glanced at Qingjun and said, "I originally wanted to snatch this horse and go to the south, but I didn't know that this beast was so powerful, so I let it be bullied." ”

Qingjun blocked him, naturally Xu Ruyu secretly made a force, if it weren't for his surname being rude, this would be like an insinuating scolding.

Xu Ruyu saw that he didn't hide it for himself at all, and smiled.

Qi Yishan didn't see the situation when Xiao Yuan made a move, and when he rushed over, he only saw Xiao Yuan making a threat, so he stopped the attack, and now when he heard him say this, he turned around and stared at Xu Ruyu suspiciously, but he couldn't see his depth.

Qi Yishan's mind is far more meticulous than Xiao Yuan's, and he thought: Dafan Shenjun surnamed Lie, this person can ride freely when he succeeds, and he can also resist the horse and retreat from the enemy, this godlike riding skill is by no means something that a scholar can do, and he still can't see his depth, unless he has a set of self-obscure mental methods like himself, otherwise his cultivation is only afraid of being above Mengtu.

Xu Ruyu and Chu Shi Zezhu walked together on horseback, and riding was naturally not a problem, but if the horse was to force Xiao Yuan back, it was his own momentum that would deter Qingjun. Xu Ruyu saw that Qi Yishan saw the flaw, smiled lightly, and said: "Xiao Ye wants to take my horse, I can't give him the horse given by my friend for nothing, right?" ”

Qi Yishan said: "Qi someone thought that he had some ability to see people, but today he is out of sight. ”

Only then did Xiao Yuan realize that it was Xu Ruyu who was making trouble in secret, his eyebrows were raised angrily, and he scolded aggressively: "It was you who teamed up with this beast to tease me......" Before he could scold again, Qi Yishan secretly pulled his sleeve, looked sideways, and said, "What are you pulling my sleeve for?" ”

Qi Yishan couldn't cry or laugh, he wanted to squeeze his eyes, but he was afraid that this rough man would still not be able to pay attention to it, so he hugged his fists to Xu Ruyu and said: "If you are offended, don't blame it." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "There are good hands outside the border, how dare I be ugly?" It's still my fault, and I hope Brother Xiao won't see the crime. ”

Xiao Yuan snorted coldly and said, "There are many eyeliners in Mayi City, and you are not the only one who is unsightly. ”

Qi Yishan saw that Xu Ruyu was not annoyed by Xiao Yuan's words, and secretly thought: This person is definitely not as simple as more than one eyeliner, if it is really the eye money of which family, Mengtu invites it, how can there be no reason not to allow it? Seeing him staring at himself with burning eyes, his heart was empty, but he didn't dare to ask easily if he was tempting.

Xiao Yuan didn't think of so much, seeing that Qi Yishan was still hesitant, he asked, "Where are your two brothers going?" ”

"There is chaos everywhere in the world, and only Southern Fujian is better. Xu Ruyu recently leveled Southern Fujian and reopened the Hainan Airlines in Quanzhou, this mountain guest can't do it, so he goes to Quanzhou to be a sea guest, since Brother Xiao also goes to the south, why don't you go to Quanzhou with us? ”

"Quanzhou is in the south of the sky, and with a pair of feet, you can't walk for three months."

"This is not necessary, I heard that the Jun family has a good relationship with Jiangning, and there is a share of the Jun family in Quanzhou's reopening of HNA, we went to Fanyang to join the Jun family, and naturally there are sea ships to send us to Jiangning, and it is much closer to Quanzhou from Jiangning."

"We didn't have a recommendation, how dare the Jun family accept us?"

"Jiang Ning is very lenient in this regard, as long as he has a skill, most of the Jun family will take care of it on behalf of Jiang Ning."

Xu Ruyu thought to himself: If you want to carefully screen, how can Qingjiang, Nanmin and other places absorb a large number of displaced people.

Xiao Yuan was surprised: "Jiang Ning is not afraid of other family rooms? ”

Qi Yishan glanced at Xu Ruyu and said, "What does Master Li think?" ”

Xu Ruyu smiled and said: "Jiang Ning is not only not afraid of other families, it is said that he will not kill other people's eyes in the territory, those spies want to stay in the territory, Jiang Ning will give him a gift to help him settle down, if he has skills, he can also find a job, if those spies love their homeland, Jiang Ning will send them back to their hometown, and it will not be difficult." ”

Xiao Yuan didn't believe his words, shook his head and said, "How can this be? If Xu Ruyu is like a girl, Jiang Ning will fall into the hands of others sooner or later, and it is okay not to go to Quanzhou. ”

Qi Yishan said: "If others catch the spies in the territory, they will all be severely punished and killed, but Jiang Ning's method is very vicious, and Jiang Ning absorbs a large number of displaced people, so he can't prevent other people's eyes from entering." The eyeliner found out is sent back to each family, and each family still dares to appoint it? Most of them were imprisoned. Most of the spies who thought of this section would not ask to return home. Jiang Ning does not kill, he is already a grace; Match the field bonus, show it for profit; and allowed officials to do things, and they were able to win their festivals, and those who stayed in Jiangning to make a living naturally tried their best to flatter and show goodwill. In this way, can each family's eyeliner still stand in Jiangning? It is the information sent back, and each family has to think about it carefully, so it may be that Jiang Ning deliberately revealed it. ”

Xiao Yuan clapped his hands and smiled: "Brother Qi said that there is really a mystery. However, you can't say anything vicious, it's better than grabbing and killing it with a click. ”

Qi Yishan was slightly stunned, laughed, and said, "You can't go wrong to go to Jiangning." ”

Xiao Yuanshan said: "I have to go back to the Northern Tang Dynasty to be sure." ”

Qi Yishan said: "I have a sum of money to settle in Beitang, I didn't want it anymore, since Brother Xiao goes back, let's go together, if I can go to Jiangning with Brother Xiao, it would be great." ”

Xu Ruyu secretly wondered: Xiao Yuan is just a mountain guest walking outside the pass, what can make Qi Yishan try his best to get close, listening to his tone, it seems that he thinks that I have something to do with Jiang Ning? Luo Boyuan is too prominent, it's always bad, the eyeliner of each family is staring at it together, suspicious and heavy, and he leaks his identity if he is not careful.

After the three of them left, Xu Ruyu drove his horse back, deviated from the straight, and stopped in front of a dense forest.

Zhao Jingyun, Luo Boyuan, and Peng Muqiu walked out of the back of the forest.

Zhao Jingyun said: "The adults don't let us approach half a mile away, could it be that there is something wrong with Xiao Yuan?" ”

"It's Qi Yishan, he may have a set of methods to conceal his own mind, but I didn't notice that his skills are actually on par with Mu Qiu when he is in the city."

Zhao Jingyun cultivated to be the weakest, and if he walked closer, he might let Qi Yishan notice it, just in case, Xu Ruyu sent a voice in advance and asked them to stop and wait half a mile away.

Zhao Jingyun was shocked and said: "The Xun family's control over Xinzhou and Northern Tang is not strong, Chu Shi is secret to border trade, but he can obtain the materials he is in short supply in Hulan through private gangs and mountain guests. Qi Yishan is quite famous among mountain guests, but such a fame is the result of more than ten or twenty years of experience in running a single gang, and Qi Yishan can really hide it. ”

Xu Ruyu frowned and said, "His people talk extraordinary, which family will still spread such a person in Mayi?" He had a bad feeling for Hulan and Jiang Ning in his words, and deliberately revealed the news that Hulan would assemble an army in Pingcheng to me. ”

Zhao Jingyun said: "He is afraid that he is testing the reaction of the adults, and now there are few families who can realize that Hulan is moving, and the adults are also calm and calm when they are in danger, in his opinion, the adults have long known the news of Hulan's assembly in Pingcheng." ”

Xu Ruyu smiled and said, "Maybe so." In this way, Jiang Ning is also within the scope of his suspicion. ”

Peng Muqiu said: "If they are indeed Jiangning, then the identity of the adult will not be able to hide for long." ”

Luo Boyuan saw Xu Ruyu looking at him, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Boyuan has affected everyone. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that, you'll spy in the open after you say it, but only others can contact you. The kind of mental method that Qi Yishan learned, following my side, is not easy to distinguish. ”

Loboyuan agreed with it.

Zhao Jingyun said: "There are many Dan breathing techniques in the world, but the mental method of concealing one's strength has never been mentioned, and this mental method seems to be only for the convenience of concealment. ”

Xu Ruyu's heart moved, and secretly thought: The top ten Dan breath techniques in the world, Yaoguang Hall has a description in the list of miraculous arts, and the Dan breath techniques that are not listed on the list are either not famous, or they are the newly created Dan breath that is not yet known, just like Xu Ruyu's self-created twisting pill breath is very different from all the pill breath in the world, in addition, it is the Yaoguang Palace's own Dan breath technique. Historically, there has never been a quality of the masters of the Yaoguang Hall on the list of miraculous skills. The list of miraculous skills can determine the world's martial arts, and the strength of Yaoguang Hall is naturally not to be underestimated, and that set of hidden strength is exactly what Yaoguang Hall needs.

Xu Ruyu expressed the doubts in his heart, and Zhao Jingyun said: "Yaoguang Hall and Jinghu are also a mysterious place, the world only knows the scales and claws, and there is never a chance to see the whole picture. Jing Yun also had this suspicion, but he was not sure. ”

"It is rumored that the headquarters of the Yaoguang Hall is located in Qinchuan, and at this time, Qinchuan is in chaos, and there is no anxiety on Qiyi Mountain, but he should also have some interest in me. Mr. Kou will most likely go to Yanmen when he enters the customs, but there is no news from Mayi, Yanmen, and Daiyi, which is strange, Mu Qiu pretended to be me, rode a green horse over Taihang Mountain to the east, Boyuan and Jingyun were bright and dark, and stayed inside and outside Yanmen for a few more days and then went east to Fanyang. ”

Zhao Jingyun asked, "Where will the adults go?" ”

Xu Ruyu said: "I am behind them in Qiyi Mountain, if I don't find out, I will go to Wuyang to meet Fang Su, if you meet Fang Su in Fanyang, tell him my whereabouts." ”

Luo Boyuan was quite disappointed, among the three, only his cultivation was the highest, he thought that Xu Ruyu would keep him by his side to help, but he didn't expect Xu Ruyu to arrange it like this.

When crossing the Yanmen Pass, Xu Ruyu embellished the three of Qi Yishan.

There is a winding path hidden in the cliff on the east side, the cliff is close to the stream, the danger is incomparable, it seems to find a gap in the mountain and rocks that only allows people to pass through alone, such a road, the mountain guest still feels the hardship.

Xu Ruyu relied on the cloud walking technique, and walked quite easily; The three of Qi Yishan, who were not aware of it in front, were very embarrassed, and their jackets were torn by the mountain stones, revealing the cotton wool inside, and Xiao Yuan added a few more stabs to his face.

Xu Ruyu secretly thought: Qi Yishan has been hiding in Mayi for more than ten years, and it is really difficult for him.

The three of them rested on the rocks, and Xiao Yuan said in a rough voice: "Brother Qi, we don't smuggle goods on our return trip, why do we have to take this desperate road?" ”

Qi Yishan said with a smile: "This is going to Jiangning, this road can no longer be walked, this can be regarded as a later journey." ”

"In the future, you don't have to go to this desperate road, it's exciting, how can you be nostalgic?"

Qi Yishan said again: "A month ago, you sent a Confucian scholar through Yanmen, didn't you ask for hardships and take this road?" ”

Xiao Yuan said: "That person asked for this, and he got twenty gold for sending him over, which is worth more than taking a trip to smuggle goods." How do you know? That person asked me to keep it a secret, I haven't mentioned it to anyone so far, isn't it a drunken gaffe that let Brother Qi hear it? ”

When Xu Ruyu heard this, he was shocked, and thought: This person Qi Yishan said is Mr. Kou?

Qi Yishan said: "That person has looked for me, I see that he came out of Suiyuan, and he has an injury, over the years, Chu Shimi has recruited some Confucian scholars to work for Hulan, I thought he left Suiyuan because of his injury and was disliked by Chu Shimi." It's too late to despise in my heart, how can I respond to him, I heard that someone took this job, and there were not many mountain guests who stayed in Pingcheng at that time, so I thought it was Brother Xiao. ”

Xiao Yuanlang laughed: "Those Confucian scholars are the curtains in Suiyuan City, there is no need to fight for him, what is the hindrance of injuries." Brother Qi also had a short-sighted time, haha......" and said, "You might as well tell you that the injuries on his body were added by the Hu people, and the illness was contracted after the injury, and the Hu people did not allow him to return to the Central Plains." When we crossed Pingcheng, those horse thieves were looking for a middle-aged Confucian scholar everywhere, and it happened that Hulan sent troops to surround Mayi, and we were trapped in the col east of Pingcheng for many days before we arrived in Mayi, and only sent him through this Yanmen a month ago. ”

Mr. Kou is a master of Dan Breath Technique, and he is riddled with injuries and illnesses, so he needs a mountain guest to escort him across the border?

Xu Ruyu suppressed the horror in his heart, and listened to Xiao Yuan continue: "In fact, this person is known to many mountain guests, and they all call him Koufuzi, I have even had a drink with him, and he has blown about the hard work among mountain guests, he doesn't think I'm rude, he walks around in Hulan, and doesn't do things for the Hu people." His knowledge is really amazing, from Suiyuan to Pingcheng to Mayi, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, Yulin, there is no place in every corner of the heavenly region that he doesn't know, even this is the Jueling Mountain Road that he doesn't know much among the mountain guests, and that person is also very familiar. I think most of it is because he knows too much about the Heavenly Domain outside the Guanwai, and the Hu people can't tolerate him. I will suffer a thousand swords for such a person, and I will be very considerate. Xiao Yuan remembered something and said in surprise, "Brother Qi has also been in Ma Yi for fifteen or sixteen years, but he has never seen this person?" ”

Qi Yishan said: "If I knew, I wouldn't refuse him, in fact, after a while, I also guessed, and I regretted it in my heart, so I waited for Brother Xiao in Mayi City to inquire about the whereabouts of that gentleman, if there is nothing to do, my heart will also settle down." ”

Xu Ruyu secretly thought: Mr. Kou knows countless people, although Xiao Yuan is rude, but he is worthy of trust, not like other mountain guests who are afraid of profit.

Xiao Yuan said: "Kou Fuzi is fine, but he is still very weak, the last time we left, he left a manuscript in Pingcheng, and I took this manuscript for him this time." ”

"How much can a manuscript weigh, why didn't you take it with you last time?"

"I don't understand, Kou Fuzi only said that the manuscript is very important, and the people and the manuscript should be separated, and not fall into the hands of the Hu people. I don't understand the importance of that manuscript, but it's just a stack of fine soft paper, a thousand pages, and I think I've been writing it for a long time. ”

Qi Yishan said: "The behavior of those masters is not something that we mountain guests can understand, maybe they have written a book manuscript all their lives, which is not very important to others, but to them, it is regarded as their own surname. ”

Xu Ruyu felt unexpected: Mr. Kou was originally hiding in the Northern Tang City, but he was worried: the forces behind Qiyi Mountain were not weak, and if he went alone, he might not be able to get out with Mr. Kou.
