"How did this Wuzhuang Temple be built, the stairs are so high!"

"That's it, we lost our horses!"

The speed at which the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain was closed was too fast.

It's trying to force a drag into the mount without much chance.

Li Hongru and the others are not monsters like cows, soldiers, horses, and children, and they can walk upright and follow.

Li Hongru looked for a mount outside Wuzhuang Temple for a while, and felt that those horses might have gone to be wild horses somewhere, and he didn't know where to go.

Li Dan now deeply understands why Li Hongru is willing to ride an inferior horse.

At this rate of losing horses, you can't afford to ride it.

The two searched for a while, and finally went down the mountain and ran towards the path for a while.

Although he was very hungry, Li Dan also began to notice that his physique had improved greatly.

Compared to before, his stamina has increased significantly.

Nibbling more turnips and greens every day has made a big difference.

At least he is now running long distances, far better than when he entered Wuzhuang Guan before.

He also got the guidance of the crane-haired and child-faced old Taoist.

Although he hadn't seen Zhen Yuanzi make a move, Li Dan felt that the other party was very powerful for some reason.

The corresponding guidance is also extraordinary, not only combing what he has learned in the past, but also putting forward active guidance.

"Second brother, it's too rigid and easy to break, do I really need to be softer?"

In the past, Li Dan was a wave of outbreaks of fighting, and he took the enemy's life under forcible killing.

But Zhen Yuanzi mentioned that this style of play is cool for a while, and sometimes it is easy to lose his own happiness, and if you want to be safe in this life, you need to collect at least a little effort.

"Gentle, must be gentle!"

Zhen Yuanzi's ability to calculate is not low, Li Hongru once saw his brother being picked up, and Qi Qi was checked by Zhen Yuanzi.

This may be the kind of exhortation that was made after calculating something.

Li Hongru's ability to prevent derivation and estimation is extremely strong at this time, but he can't take the initiative to deduce and calculate.

In this regard, Zhen Yuanzi is right, and he will not make any rebuttals.

At least Zhen Yuanzi didn't bother to add to Li Dan's life.

When the two exchanged for a while, they saw a porter striding with a burden in the distance.

Speaking of which, this is also a familiar person.

The porter has not seen Li Hongru and others, but Li Hongru has seen this face.

Yang Su's previous entry into the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain was a change in the porter, and at this time, the other party went up the mountain to deliver corn grains on time.

This made Li Hongru say hello from afar.

"Fellow, how do you go here to the nearest place to buy horses!"

"Immortal Chang must have gone down the mountain for the first time, and he hasn't been to Liangjing City yet, and that city can be seen by traveling a hundred miles along here."

The porter put down his burden and replied to Li Hongru's inquiry very respectfully.

The disciples who wanted to come to Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple asked for directions, and this porter was used to it, and mistook Li Hongru and Li Dan for Wuzhuang Guan disciples.

"Guannei doesn't know the spring and autumn and the years, I don't know what month it is, and how often you come over there to deliver corn," Li Hongru asked with a smile.

"It's the day of Gengchen month, and the people send corn once every March!"

The porter spoke repeatedly, and when Li Hongru asked a few words, the two sides said goodbye to each other.

"Wuzhuang Temple opens once a season, and the opening time lasts for about a month."

Just combined with the words of the porter, Li Hongru roughly calculated the time.

They have been living in Wuzhuang Temple for nearly two months, and if the calendar of the porter is close to the Tang calendar, it is now around the second day of the fourth month.

"I don't know if it's over the battle!"

A trip to send a sword made time pass extremely fast.

Li Hongru felt in a trance that he had not been in contact with war for a long time, and it was difficult to know about the territory.

This made his return a little awkward.

If he returned to Chang'an, he also took the post of captain of the school, and he was a deserter when he returned to Chang'an in the middle of the war.

If he returned to Shamen City, Li Hongru felt that it would be impossible for Li Daozong to wait in Shamen City for two months, and he would definitely have led his army away at this time.

"Why, I'm going to find the army of the army!"

Li Hongru thought for a while, and his legs and feet continued to speed up.

Compared to two legs, it is of course convenient to have four legs.

It's much more convenient to have a horse than to run away on your own.

Nearly two hours later, Li Hongru could already see a stone city.

The city is mostly built of huge stones, which are 20 meters high.

Although the city walls are old and even covered with moss, this is a relatively thick city.

According to the porter's words, this should be Liangjing, the capital of the Western Liang Kingdom.

"Let's have a full meal first!"

Regardless of the war, the belly must be filled first.

Li Hongru looked at Li Dan and saw that his brother was already drooling sourly.

I only ate one meal for two months in a row, and I had to do cultivation every day, which was not a good time.

The first thing the two of them did when they went down the mountain was to find a good place to eat.

The inspection of entering the city in Liangjing City is not strict, if you do not bring goods into the city, you can enter the city directly.

There is a small shop only a hundred zhang away from the city, and Li Hongru can't manage a lot, so he sits down and asks for food there.

The extremely ordinary hot cake and hot soup were in their stomachs, and the two of them felt comfortable all over.

The radish in Wuzhuang Guan is comparable to old ginseng, but I can't stand eating old ginseng every day, not to mention that I can only eat it after a long time.

Li Hongru relied on the persuasion and valley method to support himself, while Li Dan starved every day.

After the store cut a few catties of horse meat, Li Hongru felt comfortable in the Five Organs Temple for a while.

After eating two catties of horse meat, Li Hongru noticed the fishy smell in the horse meat.

Although the horse meat is adulterated with some spices, the horse meat is old and does not appear to be a slaughtered horse.

"Uncle, your horse meat doesn't taste right!"

Li Hongru laughed and teased.

At first, I only felt that the meat tasted good, but after eating too much, it became a little greasy, and when the fishy smell was tangy, it brought a bit of stomach tumbling.

How much money to pay and how much food to take, he didn't find fault with the bill, just complained.

This made the old meat seller pinch his beard and smile.

"The guests must be used to eating good, our horse meat is a war horse transported from the Tuhun country, and the horse dies for a while, and the taste is not so positive!"

“……”

"If it is an ordinary time, how can a stall like ours be qualified to sell meat, and a few pieces of pork can be regarded as the treasure of the stall."

Each has its own way of war.

When he took Aolu City, Wang Li relied on his relationship to pull a lot of goods back to Datang.

And in some areas, there is no shortage of people who dispose of dead war horses.

Winter and spring are cold, and horse meat can also be transported for a longer period of time.

As long as there is a relationship, these dead horses can be bought at a low price, and then transported to sell everywhere.

It's hard to say how good the taste of horse meat is.

When you are accustomed to eating fresh, it is a different feeling to eat these long-distance frozen meats.

What's more, the mounts killed in the war are not a regular way to slaughter and bleed, and it is impossible to avoid the mixing of flesh and blood.

"Do you know what the war in this Tuhun country looks like?" Li Hongru asked.

"I'm just an old man who sells some food to make a living, how do you know this" The old man smiled: "I think it's either a fight or a beating, and then a bunch of people and horses die." ”

This old man's summary of the war is very good.

War is when a bunch of people fight and fight and then a bunch of people die.

As long as it doesn't hit your head, you can eat melons and watch the show.

Li Hongru wanted to find someone who could broadcast accurate news, so he went to buy two horses, only to see three carriages running along the city gate at the city gate.

To Li Hongru's surprise, these carriages obviously belong to the style of the Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the Xuanxi flag hanging on the carriage, it seems that this is a certain way out of the group to Xiliang Kingdom.

At this time, the guards at the gate of the city were already standing straight, and there was no shortage of people hurrying towards the inner city to communicate.

"Hey, Li Zuo, you're not dead?"

When Li Hongru looked towards the carriage, the people in the carriage were also looking outside.

This makes each other see a different picture.

Li Hongru hadn't recognized which person in the court was here, and then he heard something that made him unhappy.

That's how much I was looking forward to his death.

When Li Hongru stood up, he saw the curtain of the second carriage open, revealing a tired old face.

"Lord Tang?"

Li Hongru recalled it, and combined with the other party's appearance, it was clear to the big man.

This is Tang Jian, the secretary of Honglu Temple, who also served as a scholar in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Li Hongru had seen Tang Jian send an envoy to Yinshan of the Khanate to meet the enemy before, and now he wanted to catch up with the mission of the envoy again.
