Everyone stared at each other, and saw two figures standing in the middle of the official road in the distance, an adult and a girl.

"It looks like a brother and sister!"

Someone said, "Could it be the villagers around here?"

"This village has been destroyed for thousands of miles, how can there be villagers? And they don't look like villagers, they are richly dressed and dignified, but they look like children of wealthy families. ”

Some experienced people immediately judged.

"It's very likely that it was a trap laid by Qingcheng Mountain, have you forgotten the previous lesson?

The black-faced man said, a fierce look flashed in his eyes: "Third Master, I'd rather kill the wrong ones than let them go, for the sake of safety, it's better to kill them." ”

"Bastard! Have you forgotten the family motto of our Ding family? Jishan family, there must be Yu Qing! Before figuring out their identities, how can you casually kill them?"

Ding Bing's face sank, and he reprimanded the black-faced man: "Stone, you go up first and ask what's going on, if it's missing, send them some, when you go out, everyone has a difficult time." ”

"Gotcha!"

The young man called Stone answered, clamped his legs, sat down and neighed abruptly, broke away from the group, and galloped forward quickly.

"What's going on?"

A crisp female voice came from the luxurious carriage behind.

"Miss, there seems to be someone of unknown origin in front of you, blocking the way, and the third master has already sent someone to inquire, so Miss doesn't have to worry. ”

One of the guards replied.

"Su Su, come and sit down, it's okay to have your third uncle here. Another female voice sounded in the luxurious carriage, and then there was no movement.

At this time, the stone was not far from the other party, but his heart moved, and he did not slow down, but clamped hard, and the speed of the horse increased.

When Ding Bing saw this, he frowned, and secretly said in his heart that everything is good, that is, he is young and vigorous, and he has an impetuous energy to do things, and he doesn't ask about it, so he wants to give others a dismount.

You must know that people should not be disgraced, in case they offend the powerful?

Although the Ding family has produced a lot of big officials over the years, its foundation is still business, doing business, and it pays attention to harmony and wealth, and one more friend will have one more way, and it will not easily offend people.

The black-faced man smiled and said, "The stone is not afraid to scare them, but the third master can rest assured, this kid's equestrian skills have my true inheritance, so it's good." ”

"Brother, someone is coming, we can ask them for directions. The little tanuki saw the Ding family's convoy appear, his eyes lit up, and he spoke.

She has been following Zhao Zhen for a while, and she has gradually become more human-like.

If it was before, her first thought when she saw people was to kill people and take food, but now she is lost and knows to ask people for directions.

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and suddenly saw a horse rushing out of the convoy, the horse was extremely fast, and it came to the front in the blink of an eye, but there was no intention of stopping.

But Zhao Zhen did not evade.

The little tanuki narrowed its eyes, not afraid at all.

As a peak spirit, she can kill people and horses at the moment when they collide.

As the distance narrowed, Shi had already seen the faces of the two of them clearly, and found that this person was young, but he was calm, and he didn't panic at all, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart.

And the little girl, who looks so cute, is even more delicate than her own young lady when she was a child, and she doesn't look like a person with bad intentions.

Xi Yuyu!

As soon as he tugged on the reins, the mount neighed, and the horse's hooves leaped to the side, narrowly slicing through the sides of the two, with great skill.

"Guarding the stone in the Ding family in Xiayingchuan County, this brother, what do you need help with?"

The stone turned around and clenched his fists and said loudly.

Zhao Zhen didn't care about what happened just now, smiled and hugged his fists and said: "Our brother and sister have traveled here and want to go to Nanyang County, but they got lost, I don't know if Brother Tai can tell me the direction?"

"Traveling, getting lost?"

Shi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zhao Zhen again, especially at the position of the other party's hands and temples, but found nothing.

Now that the soldiers of the Tieyun Kingdom are in chaos, and the corpses are all over the field, ordinary people are thinking about how to escape, where do they still have the heart to travel? Isn't this looking for death?

And according to his observations, this person seems to be not a martial artist, but just an ordinary person, except for his strong body.

If you are a martial artist, you will definitely have calluses on your hands after years of practicing martial arts, and your temples will bulge because of the vigorous essence and blood, which is easy to recognize.

But how did he know that the person standing in front of him had gone beyond the category of martial artists, and was a high-ranking cultivator.

As for the little civet cat, it is a human form transformed into a spirit, and naturally it does not have the characteristics of those warriors.

"Well, it's about three days to go south along this official road. ”

The stone smiled and pointed in the direction.

At this moment, the convoy was already approaching, and Ding Binggao shouted: "Stone, what's the matter?"

"The third master, two brothers and sisters who don't know martial arts, got lost here and asked for the direction of Nanyang County. After the stone responded loudly, he said to Zhao Zhen: "Brother Tai, can you get out of the way?"

Zhao Zhen and the little civet cat stood on the side of the road and watched the long convoy pass in front of them.

When Ding Bing passed by, he hugged his fists and secretly observed the two of them, but he didn't find anything unusual, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

When the luxurious carriage passed by, the curtain opened again, and Zhao Zhen immediately saw a pair of watery eyes, staring at them curiously.

This is a young girl, the prime of her cardamom years, and she is a little similar to his sister.

"Mother, let's go to Nanyang County too, why don't you give them a ride? Now Tieyun Country is not peaceful, in case their brother and sister encounter bandits, it will be bad. ”

"Su Su, my mother knows that you are kind-hearted, don't you know your third uncle's temperament? If you usually bring them in, it's just a matter of effort, but now is an extraordinary period, and there can't be any mistakes, otherwise thousands of people in our Ding family will be finished, you know?"

"Troubled times are coming, only resign ourselves to fate, our Ding family still doesn't know if we can gain a foothold in Nanyang County......"

........................

The convoy faded away.

But the conversation between the mother and daughter fell into Zhao Zhen's ears word for word, and the mother said in a serious tone, indicating that the family's situation was not optimistic.

The so-called country is ruined.

In the troubled times, too many people are displaced, and where should we go in the face of the future path?

"Brother, people say we don't know martial arts!"

The little tanuki said mischievously.

"It's not a bad thing to keep a low profile. Zhao Zhen said.

"There's a young lady in that carriage, she's so beautiful, and my brother has been staring at them just now, so why don't we follow up, maybe there's some chance to get close." ”

"Ahem......"

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he coughed embarrassedly twice: "I'm looking at that carriage, well, it's very luxurious, it's very magnificent......"

His explanation paled a little.

was chatting, suddenly Zhao Zhen's expression moved, and he found that a group of figures appeared on the mountainside not far away, all riding horses, staring at the Ding family's convoy until they were far away, and then turned around and left.

Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and almost made some judgments in his heart, so he said, "Let's go." ”

"Third master, that pair of brothers and sisters is behind us!"

The black-faced man said.

Ding Bing turned his head and glanced at it, and said in a deep voice: "Send someone to pay attention, as long as they don't cross the line, they can follow if they want to, if they get close, there will be no mercy." ”

Everyone else nodded, which was already considered benevolent.

"Their brother and sister are smart, and it must be much safer to follow us, if they act alone, they have three days, and they are not very sure of surviving. ”

Stone thought to himself.

At the end of the day's journey, seeing the sun go down and night fell, Ding Bing raised his hand and said loudly: "It's getting late, I can't find a place to stay today, let's rest here for a night." ”

When the convoy stopped, everyone dismounted, took off their horses, tied their horses to the stumps, fed them with good fodder, gathered the wagons together, and then began to set up camp, set up fires, cooks, sleep, and patrol.

At a huge bonfire, there were more than a dozen people sitting around, all of whom were the high-level core of the Ding family without exception.

The middle-aged man headed by him is none other than Ding Guochang, the head of the Ding family.

Next to him sat a dignified and beautiful woman, and a young girl dressed in goose-colored clothes, who were the mother and daughter in the luxurious carriage.

In addition, there is also a middle-aged scholar wearing a long robe, this person has a white complexion, a jade crown and bundled hair, gentle and elegant, and his eyes are bright, revealing a bit of wisdom.

The crowd was having dinner.

But Ding Susu didn't seem to have much appetite, and from time to time he turned his head to look into the distance, where there was also a bonfire, and the flames seemed to be stronger than the one here.

The cute little girl swirled around the bonfire, as if dancing, dancing with her hands, and laughing like silver bells from time to time, which was very clear in the night.

But the little tanuki is not dancing, but playing with Yue'er, but no one can't see Yue'er's existence.

"Vegetarian, eat quickly, eat well and rest when you are full. The woman urged.

Ding Susu shook his head, still staring at that place intently, full of doubts: "Why are they so happy?"

The woman glanced at her father-in-law, as if asking for help.

Ding Guochang put down the food in his hand and said, "The third child, meeting is fate, go and invite someone to eat something." ”

"Good!"

Ding Bing got up and walked over immediately, and after a while, he came back, followed by the brother and sister.

"Brother, you have to seize the opportunity!" the little civet cat approached Zhao Zhen and whispered.

The corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth twitched, and then he regained his composure, and took the lead in speaking: "Under Zhao Zhen, I'm disturbed." ”
