At sunset, a relatively large castle appears in front of you. Although the city wall of this city is not tall, it is far from Kaifeng, but from a distance, the scale of a radius of dozens of miles is also very considerable, especially when they come all the way, there are barren mountains and mountains, and it is rare to be inhabited, so it is even more abrupt to see such a large town.

Wan Linggen slowed down and approached the carriage, and Lady Russell poked her head out of it and smiled at him.

"Rui'er, how is she?" Wan Linggen glanced sideways inside, and could faintly see a delicate back lying motionless inside.

Madame Russ shook her head, "I should be awake, but I've been sleeping and won't open my eyes." ”

Wan Linggen's heart trembled, and suddenly an inexplicable melancholy rose, this little girl is also facing a completely unknown future, unlike her, she is fighting, and she doesn't know where to go.

Seeing that he suddenly fell silent, Mrs. Yurui thought that he was worried about the people inside, and said softly: "Don't worry, Xianggong is just weak, and her heart is too hot, so she ......"

Wan Linggen waved his hand and said, "I'm not worried about her. Rui'er, isn't that city in front of you? ”

Mrs. Russell jumped out of the car, looked ahead for a while and said with a smile: "Yes, this is the **." However, compared to ten years ago, the walls seem to be much higher. ”

Wan Linggen said that this wall is less than two meters at most, and it is really not that high. Mrs. Yu Rui turned around and lifted the corner of the sedan curtain with the carriage, and whispered inside: "Sister, we are here, if there is something, you can call me over again." After speaking, he lowered the sedan curtain and came to Wan Linggen's side to walk with him.

There was still silence in the carriage.

Soon, they came to the city gates. Wan Linggen's brows furrowed tightly, "Rui'er, why aren't there any people at the city gate?" ”

Madame Russ shook her head, "I don't know what's going on, it's still more than an hour before the gate is closed." ”

"Stop, who are you? Where did it come from? A shout came from inside the city gates, and seven or eight soldiers with swords ran out.

Mrs. Yurui took a step forward and said: "This military master, we are people from Datong, and we are coming from Datong and going to Datong. ”

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, looked several of them up and down, and one of them said, "People from Datong Mansion? The shops in the city are closed, only the guest house is still open, so go there. With that, the men turned and went in.

Mrs. Yurui led the way in front, and Wan Linggen and the others followed into the city, and he asked in a low voice: "Rui'er, what do you mean by coming from Datong and going to Datong?" ”

Madame Russ pursed her lips and smiled: "This is the code word that I agreed with Hua Rabbit. ”

Wan Linggen sighed softly and asked, "Shall we go to the guest inn?" ”

Madame Russell nodded, "That's where we've predetermined. ”

Wan Linggen looked thoughtfully to the left and right, slowed down his pace and came to Han Ping's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Han, what do you think of here?" ”

Han Ping frowned and said, "This place should be banned, there are no people on this road, every house is closed, shops are closed, it's not normal." ”

Lady Rue Rui also frowned slightly when she heard this, and turned around and said, "Let's go to the inn first." ”

Along the way, through the streets and alleys, except for the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking, there is indeed not a single pedestrian to see.

By the time they arrived at the hostel, it was completely dark. Madame Extravagant went in first to speak to the shopkeeper for a while, when several men dressed in cloth and servants came out to greet them.

After settling the carriage and horses, Mrs. Rurui helped Shaman, who was silent, and everyone into the inn. This inn is a two-storey wooden structure that looks spacious and clean, with rooms on the second floor and dining on the first floor. A few people walked for a day and didn't eat much, so they ordered the shopkeeper to prepare a table of wine and food, and found a place near the corner to sit down.

There is only one table of customers in the huge store, and the shopkeeper is not as enthusiastic as he imagined, the whole person seems to be extremely cold, and he speaks very little, but the speed of serving the food is very fast, and soon a table full of wine and food will be served.

Wan Linggen was also really hungry, and he was about to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, Han Ping raised his hand to signal him to move slowly, took out a silver needle from his arms, tried it on each dish, and then carefully observed the reaction of the silver needle, and then put away the silver needle, signaling that everyone could move the chopsticks.

Wan Linggen looked at his skillful movements, and the illusory feeling of time and space confusion hit his heart again, this kind of scene has been seen in novels or some film and television dramas, and now he is sitting here, that feeling is really indescribably funny.

Seeing him in a daze, Han Ping pulled his sleeve and said, "You can eat it." ”

Wan Linggen came back to his senses, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, the taste was a little strange, he couldn't help frowning, Han Ping said in a low voice: "The second junior in this shop is a soldier. Although his voice was not loud, everyone at the table could hear it clearly, and everyone put down their chopsticks to look at him, Han Ping smiled when he saw this scene: "Maybe he was a soldier before, don't be nervous." ”

Wan Linggen said: "Everyone should rest early after eating, and be sure to be more careful. He looked at Shaman, who bowed his head and was silent, and said to Mrs. Ruirui: "Rui'er, it is convenient for you to accompany this little girl and take care of it." ”

Madame Russ was about to speak, but Shaman raised her head and said, "No, I can do it alone." "The look was extremely determined.

Wan Linggen looked at her gloomy eyes and asked, "Are you sure you can?" ”

Shaman made eye contact with him, then lowered his head and said, "Don't be because of me...... Let you be separated as husband and wife......"

Mrs. Surui smiled when she heard this, and whispered a few words in Sha Man's ear, Sha Man's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Wan Linggen a few times, the corners of her mouth rarely turned upward, and several men on the table were stunned, and Sha Man held Mrs. Lurui's hand and whispered, "Then I'll bother my sister." ”

Wan Linggen was really worried about this very thoughtful little girl, and he was relieved when he saw this scene.

They quickly ran out of food, called the shopkeeper to open the room, took their things and were about to go upstairs, when the door of the store was suddenly pushed open, and four Taoist priests in Taoist robes walked in. Their eyes touched Zhong Ling and the others on the stairs, and they were all stunned, and they hurriedly turned their heads to avoid it.

Wan Linggen asked Zhong Ling in a low voice, "Is it your people?" ”

Zhong Ling sighed, nodded and stopped talking, even Xiang Rong became solemn, but it was Sha Man, who was walking in front, as if he didn't know that someone was coming in behind, and entered his room with Madame Lurui.

Wan Linggen and Han Ping's uncle and nephew lived in the same room, and after the three of them entered the room, they closed the door, and Han Ping asked, "Brother Wan, what are these Taoist priests doing?" He endured this question all the way without a chance to ask it, and now he can finally say it.

Wan Linggen smiled and said, "Things are getting a little complicated now. Han Ping and Han Shulin sat in front of him and listened to him, Wan Linggen looked at the two and said, "You also know that when I was in Kaifeng, I destroyed two towers, and those two towers have a lot to do with them. ”

Han Shulin thought for a while and asked, "Are those two towers their Taoist temples?" ”

Wan Linggen paused, thinking that the details of this might not be clear to the two of them, so he smiled and said, "It's about the same." I ruined their home, and of course they were going to settle accounts with me. He said with a straight face: "In this way, in addition to the Jin people, the enemies facing this north have such a group of completely unpredictable Taoist priests, but fortunately, there are still people around us who can inquire, so as not to be completely passive." ”

Han Ping said with a frown; "These Taoist priests are weird, can we trust them?"

Of course, Wan Linggen knew that he was talking about Zhong Ling and the others, so he sighed and said: "Now I can only take one step at a time, I hope to see Yan Si Room soon, put an end to the matter of Datong, and then plan later." ”

Han Ping nodded and asked, "The army going north has already started to cross the river, right?" ”

Wan Linggen shook his head, "This is exactly what I'm worried about, if my expectations are right, they won't be able to cross the Yellow River, so we must hurry up and deal with the matter here and then go and meet them, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more variables there will be." ”

Han Ping was about to continue speaking, when suddenly there was a slight knock on the door.

"Who?" Han Ping and Han Shulin stood up vigilantly and asked.

"Would you like to invite Little Brother Wan to come out and talk about it?" It was Zhong Ling's voice.

Wan Linggen stood up and said; "You don't have to worry, I'll go back as soon as I go." After saying that, he pushed the door and walked out.

Zhong Ling stood at the door, and when he came out, he whispered, "Little Brother Wan, please move and speak." With that, he took Wan Linggen to his room.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Wan Linggen couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, in addition to Xiang Rong and Zhong Wei in the room, the four Taoist priests who had just come in were also among them. The four were of medium age, their faces were calm, and their eyes lingered on him for a moment before turning to the side.

Zhong Ling asked Wan Linggen to sit down and bowed and said, "Little Brother Wan, these four are friends of Jingxuguan, they are meditation, tranquility, tranquility, and tranquility. Every time he said a name, one of them nodded to him, and Wan Linggen only bowed slightly, which was regarded as a response.

Seeing that Zhong Linggen had finished his introduction, Wan Linggen opened his mouth and asked, "Quiet Void Observation?" ...... with Jade Smoky Mountain" Zhong Ling hurriedly said: "Little brother don't have to worry too much, Jingxuan has its own faction, and they have nothing to do with Jade Smoky Mountain. ”

Wan Linggen's eyes swept over the four people, and the Taoist priest called Jingxin opened his mouth and asked, "This little brother, are the envoys of the Jade Smoky Mountain really folded in your hands?" ”
