When Richard finished cooking the pine, bamboo and chicken, he saw Xiaoqing walking back with two green and yellow lotus leaves. Richard took the lotus leaf and wrapped the pine and bamboo chicken, and waved his other hand at the ground in front of him, and a soil pit suddenly appeared on the ground, and the pit was full of fine soil.

After adding some water and mud, Richard applied the yellow clay to the lotus leaves and threw it into the fire beside him. When it was all done, it was getting dark, and the three of them sat around the fire, watching the dancing flames.

After a while, an enticing fragrance wafted out of the fire, causing Shi Qingxuan and Xiaoqing to swallow their saliva. Richard picked up a wooden stick beside him and pulled the mud out of the fire, and the wooden stick was lightly lifted on the mud and smashed it, and the hard yellow mud roasted by the fire suddenly cracked, revealing the yellow lotus leaves in it, and the aroma in the air suddenly became a little stronger.

Richard picked up the lotus leaf, opened it, and immediately tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Shi Qingxuan. Shi Qingxuan took it and looked at Richard in a daze, his face flushed under the light of the flames, and a smile on his face.

The swaying scale in Shi Qingxuan's heart suddenly tilted to the side, and said, "I'll go to Tsing Yi Building with you." ”

Richard was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay." ”

The next morning, Richard was woken up by the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the backyard, and walked out of the bamboo house sleepily. This bamboo house was built by Qin Lie when he lived in this secluded forest, since he left, Shi Qingxuan and Xiaoqing used it as a utility room, and the bamboo bed where Richard slept was temporarily vacated last night, and it creaked when he turned over slightly, making him almost not sleep well last night.

When I came to the backyard, I saw Xiaoqing and Shi Qingxuan standing in the courtyard, and the two women were walking towards the back door with a struggling pine and bamboo chicken in their left and right hands.

Seeing this, Richard couldn't help but ask, "That... What are you two doing here? ”

"Childe, are you awake?"

Xiaoqing smiled and raised the pine and bamboo chickens in her hand and said, "Miss said that these pine and bamboo chickens will be released into the mountains and forests." ”

"Released?"

Richard was taken aback, looked at Shi Qingxuan and asked, "These pine, bamboo and chicken are all your treasures, don't you want to take them away, why do you suddenly want to release them?" ”

Xiaoqing said: "Miss said that these pine and bamboo chickens will definitely not be able to be taken away, rather than letting them stay here and be caught and killed by others one day, it is better to let them go and let them return to the mountains and forests." ”

"Xiaoqing!"

Shi Qingxuan glared at Xiaoqing, as if she was blaming her for being too talkative, and then looked at Richard and whispered: "There are so many things, if you want to take them all away, I don't know how many carriages you will have to hire, and how much trouble you will have to add along the way." I just don't want it all. ”

Richard was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It's just a little troublesome, I'm afraid." What should come will always come, whether it is a carriage or a hundred. Loose bamboo chickens don't need to be put away, put them back in the chicken coop. I'm going to hire some wagons and take everything with me. ”

He suddenly showed a smile and said: "Bashu is about to mess up, I can't dig up this secluded forest building and take away the house, if this little thing can't be taken away, then I can still be regarded as the leader of the young people in the rivers and lakes?" ”

Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but sneer, glanced at Richard and said, "Stinky beauty, who said you are Jiang."

The leader of the young people of the lake, self-styled. If you want me to see that you are the tail of the crane of the young people in the rivers and lakes. ”

Richard turned around and ran to the front yard, leaving the small building in the dark forest and heading towards Chengdu City. After he left, Xiaoqing grabbed two pine and bamboo chickens and approached Shi Qingxuan, and whispered, "Miss, should we still put this chicken?" ”

Shi Qingxuan shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't let them go, put them back in the chicken coop to find those wooden boxes for us, and put the books away." ”

On the night of the second day, a convoy of more than ten carriages took advantage of the night to leave the secluded forest Xiaozhu, went around Chengdu City, and slowly set off towards the border of Bashu.

Even so, the spies around Chengdu City still discovered the convoy and immediately transmitted the news back to Duzun Fort.

"Are you saying that there is a convoy near Chengdu that departed from the small building of the forest?"

In the hall of Duzun Castle, Xie Hui frowned deeply when he heard the news, "Didn't Master Shi say that she was closed to no guests, where did this convoy come from?" Did you send someone to the secluded forest to see it, what is the situation? ”

"Look, the people in the small building of the secluded forest went to the empty building. That convoy, nine times out of ten, is Shi Qingxuan's convoy, and the car should be loaded with her things. ”

Xie Hui's brows suddenly furrowed even tighter when he heard this, he couldn't understand why Shi Qingxuan wanted to leave Bashu at this juncture, just to take refuge, but where could she go if she left Bashu? Failed to go to Chang'an to defect to Shi Zhixuan? No, it can't be, the relationship between her and Shi Zhixuan should still be in rupture, and it is impossible for her to go to Chang'an.

But if she doesn't go to Shi Zhixuan, where can she go, to find those seniors in the rivers and lakes she knows? These guys may not be able to survive in the huge whirlpool of the next Great Sui, and how can they protect her, it is better to close the door in the secluded forest.

Xie Hui muttered in a low voice: "When the Shi family suddenly left Bashu at this time, they must have thought of a place to go in their hearts, and this place is safer than the secluded forest Xiaozhu. No, it's more accurate to say that it's not that the forest building is safe, the reason why the forest building is safe is because I don't touch her in the face of the heavenly sword. She left Bashu because there was someone who could protect her like the Heavenly Sword, and she had a closer relationship with this person than the Heavenly Sword! There are not many such people in the world..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he slapped the table and said loudly: "Ximen melon!" Yes, it must be watermelon! Come on, pass my order, follow that convoy, Ximenggua must be in the convoy, otherwise they would not have hired a convoy of more than a dozen carriages to leave Bashu with such fanfare! ”

"The patriarchs of the various tribes of the Miao Territory and all the masters in the Duzun Fort are coming..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Hui suddenly felt a majestic sword intent descending, making his hairs stand on end, and the whole person shuddered like a man's back.

After a while, the sword intent dissipated, and a person ran in from outside the hall in a posture of fart and urine, and said in a panic: "Castle master, big... Big... Big things don't... No... Oh no! Our one-of-a-kind... The Exclusive Fort Great... The gates..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xie Hui hurried out of the hall and arrived at the gate of Duzun Castle. I saw that there was a ravine about one zhang wide and dozens of zhang long outside the gate, and there was no bottom.

He gasped, and almost collapsed to the ground as if his strength had been drained in an instant, gasping for air.

"It is rumored that the knife of the Heavenly Sword can cross time and space and reach any place in Lingnan in an instant. Ximen Melon's sword didn't expect it to reach this level. ”

"Only the Heavenly Sword can fight him, and even if all the masters of Duzun Fort come out, he is not his opponent. Unless it is a crowd tactic, the number of people means nothing in front of him. ”

Xie Hui said dejectedly: "Withdraw the order just now, pass on my new order, and when you see the convoy, you can all retreat and let go." ”
