Qingyue led the army to the southeast border in a few days, and the affairs of the country were handed over to a cadre of ministers to protect the country, everyone knew that the significance of this battle was extraordinary, if they could not force back the iron hooves of the invasion of the Eastern Xia Emperor, they would become slaves of the country sooner or later, and how could they not understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth?

Nanshan was indeed left in the temple, and Qingyue didn't even come to say goodbye to her.

However, Qingyue has a hundred ways not to let her go to the battlefield, and of course she will have a hundred and one ways to follow the road.

Walking down the street, her dress in a long dress looked different here, and many people were turning their heads to look at her, with different expressions in their eyes.

Nanshan felt a little uncomfortable, but she had already embarked on this road and there was no reason to turn back, a few days ago following a caravan carriage saved her a lot of trouble, but now the caravan carriage has reached its destination, the rest of the way, she has not been able to find a better means of transportation for the time being.

As the high priest of the Temple of the Asking Stars, Nanshan is either surrounded by honor guards around her every time she walks out of the palace gate, or she follows Qingyue in plain clothes, this is the first time she has traveled by herself, fortunately, she has a astrolabe in her hand, and getting lost or something will not happen to her.

After walking for a long time, seeing that the sun was setting in the west, and the chill in the air had slowly become cold, Nanshan raised his eyes and looked at the shop signs on both sides of the avenue, wanting to find a place to stay overnight.

"Little sister? Walking alone? ”

Coldly, a big rough hand put on Nanshan's shoulder, and several guys in tattered clothes turned out from behind her with a smile.

"Huh?" Nanshan frowned, regretting in his heart why he didn't follow the advice of the caravan boss to dress up as a man, but he had heard a lot about the sinister world in the past few days.

"Brothers, I am most familiar with this neighborhood, you say, can't you find your father-in-law?"

When they said this, they all laughed.

However, Nanshan was not at all innocent of what these guys were laughing at, and although he was a little disgusted, he still said politely, "Please let me go." ”

"What if I don't let it?"

The kid who took the lead shook his head, and a braid that had not been washed for a long time was wrapped around his neck, "Hehe, little sister, follow the brothers, you can choose among us, which one you want to be a husband, which one can hurt you...... Hey, hey, hey......"

As he spoke, their hands restlessly wanted to touch Nanshan's face.

"Stop!"

There was a loud shout in the roadside tea stall, and a very burly and stout man stood up, it was the cold season, but he was only wearing an autumn cool sweatshirt, and the buttons were half unbuttoned, revealing the muscles like iron plates inside.

The man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which was really incompatible with the appearance of the tea customers around him wearing fox fur coats and being a little timid.

"Now the magistrate often comes to visit the market, and you guys don't restrain yourself!"

"Hey, isn't this Zhang Yingying, what's the matter, you want to show off in front of beauties?"

The guy who took the lead had a dirty face, his face was dirty, and he laughed, and the other three people laughed along with him.

For the sudden appearance of Zhang Yingying, a few of them are very familiar, more than a year ago, Zhang Yingying was also as shabby as them, skinny, and the one who everyone on the whole street could be bullied.

As a result, I don't know which eye of the old Wuzan of the Jingmen Martial Arts Pavilion is blind, but he took a fancy to Zhang Yingying, saying that he was born with a good bone for cultivation, so he led him into the martial arts hall to practice for a year, and when he saw him again, the whole person changed.

However, after all, after saying a word, a few thugs didn't dare to make any outrageous moves against Nanshan, but just glared at Zhang Hero angrily, made a cruel gesture, and hurriedly fled.

"Uh, this ...... Girl, frightened, don't be familiar with those little people, now the magistrate often inspects the market, and has already ordered it down, if there are really people who seek provocation and deceive, they will all be imprisoned! ”

Zhang Yingying scratched the back of his head, in the past, he would want to run when he saw the girl, or his face was as red as a roasted tomato, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, but this year of cultivation not only made his body stronger, but also increased his courage and self-confidence.

"It doesn't matter." Nanshan's expression was as usual, and he quietly put away the quiver in his sleeve - it was a self-defense secret weapon that Qingyue had found a skilled craftsman to help her specialize, even if Zhang Yingying didn't come forward just now, she would never let these little gangsters get any benefits.

At this time, the loud sound of mules and horses' hooves came, and the people on the side of the road subconsciously looked in that direction, and everyone suddenly smiled.

"Ah, it's Lord Zhixian!" The owner of the tea stall immediately made a bowl of hot tea and greeted him.

Seeing the face behind the curtain of the carriage, the people surrounded the carriage together, some immediately shushed the cold and asked for warmth, and some couldn't wait to be grateful and praised, and the scene was not lively for a while.

Nanshan nodded thoughtfully, he had heard that there was a female magistrate in a county in the country, and it must have been in this Lingzhou County...... Wang Shang is really a person who loves talents, although the Qingzhiyue Kingdom has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there has never been a precedent for a woman to be an official, but he obviously recognizes her excellence.

The female magistrate looked not very old, but her expression was very old and steady, her cheeks were slightly thin, and there was a faint green shadow under her eyes, but her eyes were as sharp as knives, full of determination and confidence.

"Lord Zhixian, today Wu Laosan and those girls are molesting girls on the street again......" Zhang Yingying walked over and saluted and reported.

"Wu Laosan, they are just ordinary scoundrels, but they haven't really done anything hurtful, with your current cultivation, you can enter the patrol team to catch those really evil people......" The female magistrate looked at Zhang Yingying's expression, sighed, and continued: "I'm white, they once bullied you, you tried to find their mistakes and send them to prison every once in a while, but the prison didn't lock them up, they weren't vicious gangsters in the end, and the law couldn't do anything to them." ”

"I ......" Zhang Yingying heard the female magistrate say this, knowing that his stomach was indeed a little small compared to his own cultivation, he blushed slightly when he thought of refusing the call of the patrol team several times before.

At this time, the female magistrate's eyes no longer looked at Zhang Yingying, she looked at Nanshan, who was standing on the side without saying a word, smiled and said: "This girl has an extraordinary bearing between her eyebrows, I don't know if she can enter the carriage for a while?" ”

She said it implicitly, Nanshan not only has an extraordinary bearing between her eyebrows, but looking at her eyes, it often makes people feel that she is looking up at the vast sea of stars, as if she has fallen into the boundless stars.

Nanshan glanced at the red glow on the horizon, the sunset had gradually dimmed, and the sky was going to get dark soon.

Without thinking, she replied, "Okay." ”

Nuzhixian pulled the curtain and let Nanshan into the carriage, then turned to Zhang Yingying and said, "You come in too, wait for me to have something to say to you." ”

Zhang Yingying is not as calm as Nanshan, and his heart is suddenly uneasy, maybe he wants to talk to himself about joining the patrol team? Or do you want to send some people from the martial arts hall to go over? Hearing that the war on the front line was urgent, and all major counties and prefectures began to recruit soldiers on a large scale to collect food, he asked himself, whether it was patrolling or going to the battlefield, it was all the work of pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers.

"Xiaguan Zhang Ying, I have seen Lord Nandian."

After entering the carriage, Nuzhi County immediately bowed deeply.

Nanshan laughed and said softly: "When you go out of the Star Temple, just call me Nanshan." ”

"At the end of the south bank, the mountains are eternal, and the south hall is really an extraordinary person." Zhang Ying still didn't look up, and Zhang Yingying on the side looked a little dazed.

"Lord Zhixian, this ...... This is ......," Zhang Yingying asked in a daze.

"I had some relationship with Master Zhang, but I didn't expect to meet here again." Nanshan explained with a calm expression.

"It's not the origin, it's kindness, if there is no South Palace, how can my father have a good death." Zhang Ying kept her head down, remembering that Nanshan had helped her father exorcise evil spirits, and the surging gratitude in her heart never seemed to stop for a day.

Nanshan stretched out his hand and took Zhang Ying's hand, and said with a smile: "I just think it's a relationship, and now I happen to have something to ask for, I don't know if you can ......."

"Nandian wants to go to the southeast border this time?" Zhang Ying is so smart, thinking that this time the Qingyue King did not bring the high priest of the temple, this is abnormal, and now he encounters Nanshan traveling alone, but he doesn't even bring a guard with him, plus he must pass through Lingzhou County to go to the southeast border......

"Ahem, the king is a little too big this time, I have to persuade him." Nanshan looked out of the carriage, his eyes gradually becoming unpredictable.

"Now that a small place like Lingzhou County has begun to recruit soldiers and fight for food, Nandian, you must reach the front safely this time...... I looked at the young people in our county who were far away, and I really couldn't rest assured, the good men who had never been on the battlefield must not fold over there! ”

Zhang Ying bowed deeply again, and her voice was already a little trilling, perhaps because she imagined the fierceness of the battlefield, or maybe she was worried about the unknown outcome of the war.

"So what?" Nanshan came back to his senses, looked at Zhang Yingying, who was burly and at a loss in the carriage, and asked.

"Xiao Zhang's martial arts hall, I am familiar with the master, I will go and ask them to arrange a few guards for you, it is not easy for you to walk this way, you have to ride a horse for ten days, the mountains and rivers are far away, what if you encounter not those street splashes today, but the real mountain bandits?"

Nanshan touched his chin and saw an extremely reluctant expression on Zhang Yingying's face.
