"Sister Yaoqin, you don't care!"

Seeing that Shen Qiu and the three of them rode fast horses, leaving Luoyang in the afternoon sun, Qingqing pouted, and ran to Yaoqin's side to be coquettish with a dissatisfied face, so that Yaoqin couldn't settle the account carefully.

She said to Yaoqin:

"You and your senior brother got married, and you said at the time that you are in the main house, and the senior brother is outside the main house, but there is a big event, and the husband and wife will work together. You see that my senior brother ran away to cause trouble again, and you didn't say a word. ”

"Huh?"

Yaoqin turned her head and glanced at Qingqing, and she said with a playful face:

"You girl, I'm afraid that my senior brother will go out to make trouble, so I won't take you, right? Girls' families, learn more poetry and Xuanyu, think about fighting and killing all day long, what is it like! ”

Yaoqin put on the momentum of her sister-in-law, stretched out her hand and knocked on Qingqing's forehead, she said:

"In the future, you have such a temper, be careful that you can't get married."

"Don't get married."

Qingqing smiled and shook Yaoqin's arm around, and said:

"I also want to be an aunt to my brother and sister's children. Besides, I'm only fifteen, thinking that this is too far, and my brother said that girls can't get married until they are twenty. ”

"Listen to his nonsense!"

Yaoqin shook her head, and she said to Qingqing:

"This woman is sixteen, and she is going to get married, which is human common sense, just like Shiyin and Xiao Tie. Sister, I can't help it, it's only dragged on to twenty, you can't learn from me, that's an old girl, you can't get married.

Don't make a fuss, don't bother me to settle accounts.

You go to play with Xuanyu and Shiyin, in the afternoon, let's go to the White Horse Temple to worship the Buddha, and by the way, we go to see Master Mustard, and I don't know how he recovered from his injury. ”

The three of Shen Qiu left Luoyang in the afternoon and went to Taihang Mountain, and there was a distance between the two places.

Three years ago, Shen Qiu and Qingqing traveled from Taihang to Luoyang, which took six days.

But now, they are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and they can use their true qi to relieve the fatigue of the horses, day and night, and at midnight the next day, they arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain.

As soon as they arrived in the mountain, there was a crested eagle Qingluan to lead the way, and it took a little half the night to climb the mountain, and in the early hours of the morning, the three of them arrived on the slope of the mountain where the mountain ghost lived in seclusion.

"Ah, this mountain ghost brother has strong swordsmanship, I didn't expect that the place where I live is so simple."

Zhang Lan led the horse and followed Shen Qiu Xiaotie up the hillside, and there was a burst of comments in his mouth, Xiaotie was also here for the first time, but he was extremely curious.

However, he didn't feel the place of mountain ghosts shiver.

Back then, the barren mountains where he and his master lived in seclusion in Liaodong were not much better than here.

This is in the prosperous place of Luoyang and Suzhou, after living for a long time, I suddenly saw this rustic small house, and Xiao Tie still has some nostalgia.

When the mountain ghost heard the movement, he also pushed open the door and greeted the three brothers under the starry sky.

He was still holding a book in his hand.

"Reading at night again."

Shen Qiu said to the mountain ghost dissatisfied:

"You eyes, I really don't want them, swordsmanship requires a lot of eyesight, you really have to change this problem."

"Just you talk a lot! Sand sculptures. ”

The mountain ghost glanced at Shen Qiu and said casually.

He knew that Shen Qiu was joking.

Everyone is a person who cultivates true qi, and their eyes are tired, and they use their true qi to circulate in their eyes for a week, and the fatigue is gone.

Unless it's a natural eye disease, there's really no way around it.

But Gongsun Yu finally put away the book and welcomed the three of them into his room.

In the past three years, there have been more furnishings in the house of the mountain ghost, there is a decent desk, there are four treasures of the study on the table, and a paperweight made of stone, and a few words are hung on the wall.

It should have been written by himself.

From scattered to regular, it represents several stages of reading and literacy of mountain ghosts.

Shen Qiu glanced at the house.

Seeing the lame chair in the corner, Qingqing's favorite lame chair, my heart felt a warmth, as if I had returned to the days when he and Qingqing were eating and drinking here three years ago.

Ah, in a flash, three years have passed.

Time is so fast.

"Believe you got it."

Shen Qiu sat at the table, picked up the cucumber he had just picked, rubbed it casually, clicked and took a bite, and said to Gongsun Yu with a ghost face:

"Are you going?"

The mountain ghost glanced at Shen Qiu with a strange look in his eyes.

What's this weird question?

Kill the people of the Northern Dynasty...

Would he still refuse such a thing?

Shen Qiu saw the mountain ghost's eyes, and knew that he had asked a stupid question.

He coughed, placed the letter in his arms on the table, and made a few more strokes on the table with his fingers.

When the cold air overflowed, there was a simple map of the northern foot of Taihang on the table.

In the flickering dim light, he said to the three people in front of him:

"According to the route given by Yelu Jienan, his sister is going to enter the grassland from Shanxi, specifically near Datong, we can reach that place after crossing the northern foot of Taihang.

Moreover, recently, the Northern Dynasty troops in Shanxi have been happily withdrawn to attack the Huainan Central Plains, and the defense of that place is very empty. ”

Shen Qiu's fingers swiped on the table, biting the cucumber, and said:

"Let's get in and out quickly, find a good ambush location, and the middle of the night will be enough! It's just that there will be a delay of five or six days on the road, and besides, I am not very familiar with the northern foot of Taihang. ”

"I've been."

The mountain ghost looked at the map on the table, and he said in a dumb voice:

"When there are no Northern Dynasty people in the southern foothills, I will also go to the northern foothills to take a turn, and there are also mountain people over there who believe in me and can be used as guides."

"Okay, that's it."

Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Rest for three hours, and then let's go."

"Wait, there's one more thing, don't forget."

Zhang Lan called the other three, he tapped it on the table with a folding fan, and said:

"What should Jeruwan do? You can't kill them together, can you? ”

"The lord of the Northern Dynasty is just begging us to save his sister."

Shen Qiumo rubbed his chin and said:

"I didn't say where I wanted to send his sister, Yanjing definitely can't go back, and I can't go to the grassland, so it's better to simply take it back to Luoyang and make plans."

"Okay, you, Shen Qiu, I didn't see it."

Zhang Lan smiled obscenely and eccentricly, he said:

"I just married my daughter-in-law, and I was thinking about the concubine, and my vision was not good, the main wife was the Holy Fire Saintess, and the concubine was the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty. Yes, yes, yes...

Uh, what do you mean by that nasty word? ”

"Rhodium, cesium, beryllium!"

Xiao Tie had just picked up a call here, but was hit on the forehead by Shen Qiu's finger.

"If you don't learn the good, you will learn the bad!"

Shen Qiu dropped a word, pushed the door and walked out, he came to the house he lived in three years ago, pushed open the wooden door, didn't light the lamp, and just lay on the bed.

The futon still smelled a little musty.

But it doesn't matter, the Xueji True Qi in the body walks around, and the musty smell of the bedding disappears.

He lay on the bed, holding Kenyu, and fell into a dream comfortably.

"Click"

Shen Qiu opened his eyes, and in the dream, he moved his fingers, posed in the two-yi divine fist starting pose, and said to the phantom of Zhang Tugou holding the green bamboo stick in front of him:

"I heard that Gang Master Zhang's lotus stick is a must in the rivers and lakes, and I came here today to ask for advice."

Nothing was said all night.

Three hours, six hours later, Shen Qiu, who had been in a dream for eighteen hours, opened his eyes refreshed.

was torn off the mountain again, and Qiu Buping abused him for one night, but Shen Qiu was used to it.

Practice martial arts.

Losing to the master of the heavenly list, there is no shame or shuddering.

What's more, last night, I fought back and forth with Qu Xie, and I was already able to survive a hundred moves, and I used to sacrifice my life, and I was able to hurt the first place on this real list, which proves that my martial arts are making steady progress.

Although each improvement is small, and it takes ten times more sweat and effort than before.

But it doesn't matter.

Shen Qiu's credo is that you don't need to take too big a step at every step, as long as you keep walking on the right path, you will reach the end one day.

With Kendama in hand, time or something is not a problem at all.

He walked out of the room, stretched his waist, raised his fingers again, and looked at the Xue Ji True Qi and Shuo Xue Cold Qi wrapped around his fingers at the same time, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Yin and yang, it's really peculiar."

"Huh? Zhang Lan, why are you so miserable? Ran out to fight the tiger last night? ”

As soon as Shen Qiu stretched his waist, he saw Zhang Lan with a tired face, as if he had been squeezed dry, he laughed, but was glared at by Zhang Lan fiercely, and the swinger gritted his teeth and said:

"Mountain ghosts are monsters! What the hell! Ben Gongzi used ten percent to get away with it, and he couldn't avoid his strange sword! What the hell is going on with his swordsmanship? ”

"Okay, you, Zhang Lan, you've really increased your skills."

Shen Qiu patted Zhang Lan on the shoulder and said:

"Dare to practice with my mountain ghost brother, you haven't been stabbed to death by Chengying's sword, your hand-held longitudinal technique is definitely a unique martial arts."

"It's really good."

In a hoarse voice, the mountain ghost holding the sword jumped down from the eaves and landed lightly beside Shen Qiu, under the mask, his eyes were full of appreciation, and he said to Zhang Lan:

"I underestimated you before, your light skills of sand sculpture are good!"

Zhang Lan was praised by the mountain ghost, although she didn't know what the "sand sculpture" meant, but she also showed a touch of pride on her face.

He opened the fan with a swish, shook it, and walked over to a few horses.

This same compliment, when it is said by different people, the feelings are naturally different.

can be recognized by a master like a mountain ghost, Zhang Lan is also honored in his heart.

However, Zhang Lan's state is good, but Xiaotie's state is very poor.

He walked out of the house with two dark circles under his eyes and a yawn.

This scene made Shen Qiu frown, and he said:

"Weird dreams again?"

"Hmm."

Xiao Tie rubbed his forehead and whispered:

"I don't know what's going on, it seems that every time I sleep, when I get closer to my eldest brother, there will be strange dreams."

The eyes of the mountain ghost here also changed, he looked at Xiao Tie, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

And the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

Hearing Xiao Tie's words, Shen Qiu's eyes glanced at the Juque Sword, and then touched the sword jade on his wrist, and the doubts in his heart increased again.

However, Xiao Tie is now on the ground list, and such strange dreams cannot affect his physical strength.

The four of them brought some dry food, then rode on their horses, and under the leadership of the mountain ghosts, they went to the northern foot of Taihang.

This Taihang Mountain was originally not divided into north and south.

The reckless 800-mile Taihang Mountain, which starts from Yanjing West Mountain in the north and reaches Wangwu Mountain in the Central Plains in the south, divides the terrain of the land of Shenzhou, but since the arrival of the alien beast 25 years ago, this Taihang Mountain has been separated from the center.

It was as if a giant beast had bitten hard into the center of the mountain.

Not only did it cut off the mountain range out of thin air, but at the junction of the north and south, a hundred-mile-long sinkhole rift was created, like a cliff, extending all the way to the ground.

No one dared to go underground to see how deep this crack was in the ground, and the mountain people never dared to come here, for fear of colliding with the mountain god.

However, in the Taihang Mountains, the mountain gods do not.

But there is a murderous mountain ghost.

Four days later, at midnight, in Datong, Shanxi, there was only less than thirty miles left from the grassland, and in a post station on the border of the Northern Dynasties, Yeluwan, the eldest princess of the Northern Dynasty, was preparing to rest.

The journey for days made the eldest princess very tired.

It stands to reason that the eldest princess and her relatives are naturally a major event of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to pay attention to the face of a country.

But at this time, most of the national strength of the Northern Dynasties was used to support the front-line war.

And this time, in order to avoid extraneous branches, it is secret and pro.

So Ye Luwan also had to condescend to the noble, and she was very low-key all the way, of course, after all, she was the eldest princess, with a noble status, although she was low-key, but she was escorted by a large team of carriages and horses, and there was a handful of maids and eunuchs who accompanied the marriage.

Counting the masters of the Tongwu Sect who were protected along the way, as well as the shamans of Liaodong, the number also reached nearly five hundred.

They were to rest overnight at this border station, and early tomorrow morning, an envoy from the Mongol Golden Horde would come here to greet their relatives, and then the momentum would be even greater.

But tonight, although Ye Luwan was tired, she had just taken a hot bath in poor conditions, and she should have been able to fall asleep quickly, but she couldn't sleep at all.

On the one hand, being close to the grassland means being one step closer to her future husband.

What girl doesn't have spring?

Yeluwan was seventeen years old, and when she liked to think a lot, and when she was a young girl, she lay on the bed and kept imagining the appearance of the Mongol Khan.

Well, it's said that it's the Great Khan, but in fact it's just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child, only one year older than his brother.

Such a match always makes Yeluwan feel weird in her heart.

The thought that she would have to marry a child the same age as her brother in a few days made her feel even worse.

On the other hand, Yeluwan is also worried about her brother.

She is in Yanjing, and she can always give advice to her younger brother, or simply appease.

The younger brother was young, if he didn't have her support, what if he annoyed the happy old thief and was killed by the unknown brother, just like his own eldest brother?

Thinking of this, Yeluwan felt a palpitation.

She also had a sad and indignant thought in her heart, since she had come to this point, she would serve the little Mongolian Khan with her body, exchange some power, and win some help for her younger brother in the court.

As for themselves...

Alas, if you are bitter, you will be more bitter.

As long as his younger brother is safe, grows up safely, and can continue the bloodline of the Yelu family, then he will not ask for anything more.

But thinking of this, the eldest princess felt sad in her heart, and it was even more difficult to sleep.

After days of traveling, she was a little tired, and she even felt like she had auditory hallucinations...

Why is it so noisy outside the window?

There seemed to be screams and fights.

Not?

Not auditory hallucinations?

There are really people out there fighting!

This... What's going on?
