Chapter 72: The Empire Will Fall (7)

"If we leave from here, we will arrive in Liaodong, which is not far from Goguryeo."

"It can be regarded as leaving the important area of the Sui State and coming to the frontier."

The two looked at Yuyang County, which was snowing heavily, and it was not at all comparable to the center of the Sui Dynasty, and it was not even the prosperity of a county seat. It's just that the atmosphere here is too tense, and it can be said that the people here have a bloody and murderous intent that mainlanders don't have.

Therefore, here, the county guard will only consider how much land can be cultivated, how much grain can be stored in the city, and how many troops can be mobilized, rather than the prosperity in the city.

As for how much land there was outside the city, and how many hunters there were, the two men didn't know, but they knew that it was not a good time to set off, because the snow under their feet was already up to their knees.

Such heavy snow appeared in this place, not to mention the area around Liaodong.

"Fellow Daoist, let's do it here, and on the way from there, I will walk with this person.

Thank you for seeing you off, you and I have suffered a lot this April. ”

The two got out of the deer, and each fell into the snow, and for fear of getting into trouble when they entered the city, Ellie stole a few fur coats from the city, and now the two of them had changed into them.

It's just that the feeling of stepping into it is really uncomfortable, especially Erli, who feels that the temperature of her calves has dropped a lot. But Qing'e didn't care about this, and the first thing she did after coming down was to salute the white deer in front of her.

Bailu also returned the salute, and then said slowly.

"Hugh should be polite, fellow Daoist, the effort of a gesture is not enough to worry about.

And the road of the world, I haven't had a good look, this trip is also the way of experience, I want to thank you. ”

"On this journey, how can you return?"

"I'm not old, don't worry about this matter, a thousand miles away, just watch out for tigers and wolves."

"That's fine, fellow Daoist."

Qing'e bent down slightly, and the white deer bowed back, and then left with the brown doe in the direction from which it came. As for her, she was watching Bailu walk into the distance, as if seeing off an old human friend.

“… Let's go. ”

Erli looked at the surroundings of the city and didn't care about Huo Qing'e. By the time they turned around, the two deer were gone, and Huo Qing'e was only seen alone in a daze in the direction they came.

"Do you have any thoughts on him?"

"A Taoist friend who won't harm me behind his back, no matter who he is, is worthy of respect.

I have seen a lot of people who are friends of the dead and those who are not dead and poor. ”

Ellie tightened her large, heavy fur cloak and pulled up her hood so that it almost covered her eyes.

Qing'e didn't put it on, and her tolerance for temperature has also increased a lot, just patted the snow on her shoulder and looked at Yuyang City.

"Nine times out of ten, things are not as expected, and I can only talk to people for two or three."

She said to herself, and walked into the city.

……

……

……

"If you go west, be careful. Recently, the border has not been very safe, and thieves are raging, and horses are raging. ”

After entering the city, the guards of the city observed them for a long time before letting them in, lest the two men be spies sent by the enemy. Before leaving, he said this specifically to the two people.

After entering the city, it was a little more lively, and the people's mental state was not bad, and their bodies were also very good, but there was an indescribable weirdness, and Ellie couldn't find out what it was.

Until, someone accosted them.

"Both, this is not the place where women came."

A man next to the post station spoke with a bowl of warm wine. He carried a long sword at his waist, which was indistinguishable from his appearance alone; He was dressed strangely, as if he had put a few pieces of animal fur on his summer clothes, and the whole person looked like a layer of warm hair on his limbs and torso; Even more strange was the left half of his face, which was covered by a bronze mask, leaving only his eyes exposed. The right half of the body does not match his outfit at all, but like a son who has read poetry and books, without the slightest trace of time and reality.

"There is no good scenery here, no good people, no good borders, and no good things. The wives and daughters of the county guards and nobles are also known below, and there is no impression of the two.

…… So, dare to ask, what are the two of you here for? ”

He said as he walked over to the two of them. There was a little smell of alcohol on his body, but judging from his face and spirit, he was not drunk at all.

Huo Qing'e glanced at Erli, who put her hand next to the dagger.

"Go to Goguryeo with my little friend, and then set out from here and cross the ocean. As for the details, there is no need for me to go through them one by one. ”

"Hahahahaha! …… It's kind of interesting...

… This place is Yuyang County, the town of the border pass, the two of them are naturally the first time to come, can you let you introduce the people of this place for the two of you? ”

"What does he want to do?"

Ellie looked at the man warily, and judging by his expression and movements, this man must have some intentions, and it was aimed at the two of them.

"That's naturally good, I'll have to wait for the beginning of spring before I can continue the journey."

As for Qing'e, she smiled softly, but her eyes kept staring at the man.

"I don't know, how did this hero come from?"

The man laughed too, drank the wine in his hand, and then placed the bowl next to the wooden fence where there was a little snow, and then saluted with his fists.

"In Xiayan, the people are excellent, the words are correct, only a cloth cloth, and now they are planning to go to Goguryeo, for the major events of the country."

"Really? I was rude before. ”

Qing'e bowed slightly, but did not show any apology, and Erli didn't move at all, just looked at Yang You silently.

"Then, please lead the way, this Yuyang County, I want to see how it is."

"Well, please, you two keep up."

Ji You picked up the wine bowl, shook the wine beads inside, and then directly took the wine bowl back into his arms and walked forward slowly.

"Such a powerful internal force..."

"What did you say?"

Qing'e looked at the man's back and muttered, Erli didn't understand what she said, and the former said it again in Persian.

"yes..."

The snow on the wooden fence where the wine glasses had just been placed had melted into water, and even when Ellie touched the wooden fence, there was a hint of warmth.

No matter how powerful an empty wine bowl is, it won't melt the snow on the entire wooden fence, so it's very simple, that's what Jiyou does.

Just a few drops of wine melted a lot of snow on the fence, and Qing'e even saw a few more snow holes in the ground.

"It's just such a strong internal strength, if you have nowhere to vent..."

"Why are you still standing there?"

Just as the two were talking, Kiyu turned around and looked at the two of them with a strange smile.

"It's just a sigh of chivalry."

Qing'e looked straight at Ji You this time and didn't do anything. The latter seemed satisfied, and then moved on.

"Let's go."

Qing'e said to Erli.
