The household register records that the village of Suli is fifty miles north of the Temple of the Moon God, and that there are 131 people in the village, half of whom are hunters and half are tenant farmers.

The land around the village of Suri is the property of the Temple of the Moon, so the village of Suri is nominally protected by the Temple of the Moon.

The village chief is a well-known hunting expert, surnamed Su Ming Fengzhi.

Su Fengzhi has a son named Su Sheng, who is about twenty-four or five years old. Su Sheng was arched by a wild boar because he went out hunting when he was a teenager, causing his left leg to be broken and became a lame.

After Su Sheng became a cripple, he could no longer go up to the mountains to hunt, so he changed his career to learn first-hand cooking skills and opened a game shop at the entrance of Suli Village. The store is not big, and only the husband and wife are busy in the store.

Su Sheng's ex-wife died of dystocia ten years ago, leaving a boy named Su Xiao. Last year, Su Sheng married a young woman named Gu Ruoyu in the same village.

Gu Ruoyu grew up in Xishan since she was a child, and before she got married, she and a slave named Su Mo in Xishan were childhood sweethearts.

The day Gu Ruoyu got married was an unforgettable pain for Su Mo in this life, and when he came to Su Sheng's game shop on the night of his life, he also said after seeing this girl named Gu Ruoyu: It's a pity.

Gu Ruoyu grew up in Xishan since she was a child, and she has come into contact with many dignitaries. She exudes a temperament that is neither humble nor arrogant when dealing with people, and this temperament is played just right by her, so that people can't ignore her existence and won't feel stiff.

That morning, there was a heavy snow in the sky. Four men dressed as samurai rode horses to Su Sheng's game shop.

Gu Ruoyu saw that these four people were two men and two women. Neither girl was her age. They were dressed in emerald green dresses and carried the Qingfeng Sword.

One of the two men was wrapped in a thick black robe and had a gold mask on his face.

Another samurai rode a tall horse, dressed in a crisp white samurai suit, carrying a long sword with an ornate python scabbard and turquoise-encrusted hilt at his waist. A bow-shaped peace charm is also tied to the sword spike with a red rope.

Gu Ruoyu knew at a glance that these four people were all well-appointed big people. Especially the man in the black robe with the golden mask on his face, there was a kind of majesty of the superior in his gestures.

Fushengye and Su Mo dismounted and walked into Su Sheng's game shop, and the two women who went down the mountain with them were Yina and Lu Yaoyi in the Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains.

An eight- or nine-year-old boy heard the sound of horses' hooves and quickly ran out of the shop. This little guy is Su Xiao, he is young but big. I saw him take the four horses they rode with the floating leaves in one hand, tie them to the manger, and then add some fodder to the manger and come into the shop to beckon the guests to take their seats.

Su Sheng's game shop is usually open at noon and evening, and today the customers came early and there was nothing to prepare for the shop.

Su Sheng hadn't even gotten up even when he was sleeping. Gu Ruoyu hurriedly boiled water in the back kitchen and made tea for the guests.

Fushengye looked at the young and beautiful Gu Ruoyu and hurriedly served them refreshments.

He pointed to Su Mo beside him and said to Gu Ruoyu: "May I ask the girl who still remembers the old man in front of her?" ”

Su Mo and Gu Ruoyu looked at each other, and their expressions froze. For a moment, their thoughts were full of emotion, but they didn't know where to start.

Su Mo said: "Are you okay?" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "It's okay! You've become a captain samurai? ”

Su Mo said: "Yes! ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "Congratulations on finally getting what you wanted!" ”

Su Mo smiled bitterly: "I have lost more, if I am given a chance to choose again, I would rather be a slave for the rest of my life than refuse the girl who grew up with me!" ”

Su Xiao saw someone pestering Gu Ruoyu to speak, ran to the table and took Gu Ruoyu's hand and said, "Mother, did you know them before?" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "Xiao'er, this is your Uncle Su Mo, who has known her mother since she was in Xishan, and these others..."

Gu Ruoyu knew that her identity was very different from that of Fushengye, and she didn't know how to introduce them to her children.

Fusheng Ye took out a jade jade carved moon god statue from his arms and handed it to Su Xiao's hand and said, "You can call me Uncle Fusheng, and these two beautiful female swordsmen, they are Yina and Lu Yaoyi in the Seven Swords of the Tianshan Mountains." Several of us are very good friends. ”

Gu Ruoyu could see at a glance that the piece of jade jade carving that Fushengye casually took out was very valuable, and according to her previous experience, she could buy her small shop with this piece of jade.

He said to Su Xiaodao: "Hurry up and return the jade statue to uncle, this gift is too valuable, we can't afford it." ”

Su Xiaozheng couldn't put it down with the jade carving of the moon god statue, and when he heard his mother's words, he hesitated and put the jade on the edge of the table again. But his eyes kept staring at the jade carving, with a reluctant look.

Fushengye put the jade jade carving in Su Xiao's hand again and said, "Go play!" It is unreasonable to refuse a gift from a friend in Manghara. If you cherish our friendship, exchange it with me for your most cherished gift. ”

Su Xiaoyi nodded vigorously when he heard this: "Hmm!" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "This kid, why is he disobedient today!" ”

Fushengye said: "We are going down the mountain this time to find someone, so there are some things that need to be asked of you!" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "Son, please speak, Ruoyu knows everything!" ”

Fushengye simply told Gu Ruoyu about the disappearance of Prince Huayan. He also described in detail what he looked like and what he was wearing on the day of his disappearance, as well as the antlers of the giant deer he carried.

Floating Leaf was originally just going to go around today, and he didn't have much hope of finding the Painted Face Prince

After Gu Ruoyu heard the description of the giant deer's horns, she suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person in the store a few days ago.

From Gu Ruoyu's mouth, Fushengye learned that three days ago, a young man with antlers and several barbarian soldiers had passed by Suli Village and were sharpening in their small shop.

From Gu Ruoyu's description, it is speculated that Prince Huayan seems to have been held hostage by a group of barbarians.

Fusheng Ye said: "If the rain girl can recognize the tribe from which barbarian people come from?" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "They seem to say that they are from the Julu tribe, I'm not sure!" ”

Fushengye said: "Thank you, girl!" ”

Gu Ruoyu said: "It should be!" ”

Fushengye got up and was about to leave with Ina and Lu Yaoyi, when Su trotted over and handed him a stone.

Fusheng Ye saw that what Su Xiao gave him was just an ordinary rain flower stone, although it looked peculiar but not valuable.

Su Xiaodao: "This is the stone I picked up by the river, and there is also a moon god statue on it, it is my favorite thing, I give him to you, you can't refuse!" ”

The floating leaf played with the smooth rain flower stone in his hand, and repeatedly looked at the strange patterns on it, but he didn't see where there was a moon god statue. However, he still pretended to see it, and solemnly accepted Yuhuashi and expressed his gratitude to Su Xiao.

At this time, Su Mo also led the horse and walked out. The group rode horses and prepared to return to the West Mountain. On the way, Fusheng Ye asked Su Mo: "Why don't you talk to her for a while, after all, there are not many opportunities to meet again in the future." ”

Su Mo said: "His husband has woken up, I hope she can live happily in the future." ”

Fushengye said: "She is a scheming woman, and she will be a blessed person in the future." ”

Su Mo said: "I hope the moon god will bless her with peace and happiness!" ”

After leaving Suli Village, they searched along the way, but they didn't find any suspicious signs. Near noon, the floating leaves decided to go back to the mountain and make plans.

Ina rode her horse and came to the floating leaf and said, "Why do we have to go back as soon as we came out?" ”

Fushengye said: "We didn't go down the mountain to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to find out the whereabouts of Prince Huayan. Now that we have news of him, we need to hurry back to General Baturu to explain the situation. ”

In the barracks of willow and cold leaves fifty miles east of Xishan, Yan Longye was practicing swords with the soldiers.

He is now practicing the formation breaking style on the step sword diagram. The training of this kind of swordsmanship requires the cooperation of many people. In order to meet his requirements, Liu Hanye provided him with fifty fully armored Tiefutu warriors to be his sparring partners.

Yanlong Ye used the Qingfeng Sword without a blade, and with the fully armored Iron Futu Warrior, he could show his attack power heartily.

Since Liu Hanye came back from Dawn Pass, the injuries on his body have not been completely healed. Now he was very happy to see that Yan Long Ye was making rapid progress. According to Yan Longye's current kung fu foundation, if he trains strictly for a while, he will become a brigadier general-level warrior.

Yan Long Ye has a kind of persistence that does not admit defeat when he practices his sword. He wants to use the formation breaking style as his killer weapon. He tried again and again to get his movements right, and at most he could defuse a staggered attack of thirty spears with a single sword.

Liu Hanye saw Yan Longye's results and said loudly: "Very good!" Shizi is indeed a first-class genius swordsman, I can't imagine that your swordsmanship has improved so quickly after entering the West Mountain. ”

Yan Longye said: "Uncle has won the prize!" ”

Liu Hanye said: "This morning, Baturu brought more than a hundred cavalry from the Zhuang faction into the Xishan Courtyard. The news came from the West Mountain just now, and as soon as Baturu went up the mountain, he began to arrest all the people who might be missing from the Seventeenth Prince. ”

Yan Longye's: "This is a mad dog that has been forced to bite in a hurry!" ”

Liu Hanye said: "It is said that a slave and maid without hands in the villa of the floating son was also arrested by Baturu and is being tortured. I'm worried that the case of the disappearance of the painting will eventually involve us. ”

Yan Longye heard this: "They arrested the painting heart and tortured it, it was really mad. We, the Elephant Division, are still afraid that they will not succeed. How is Big Brother doing now? The eldest brother is an extremely protective person, and he will never ignore the arrest of Huaxin! I'm going up the hill to see if I can do something for him. ”

Liu Hanye said: "Your eldest brother was not on the mountain when the servant girl was arrested, and just now the scout came with news that your eldest brother had returned to Xishan with someone. He should be able to handle the matter properly. ”

Yan Longye said: "I'm still a little worried, the eldest brother is still too impulsive sometimes!" He will be reckless on impulse! ”

Liu Hanye took out a letterhead from his bosom and said, "Flying Eagle has sent news that the sea prince of the Dongyi tribe has arrived thirty miles away, and he will come to visit the prince before going to the Moon Temple." ”

The sea prince comes from the Bohai Kingdom on the coast of the Eastern Continent. The Bohai State was a vassal state of the Chijin Khanate. There was a secret pact between the King of the White Horse of the Zhangxiong tribe and the king of the Bohai Kingdom, and they both hoped to realize the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and expand their territory and establish great achievements.

The prince of the sea and the son of the Sho Zo tribe naturally wanted to continue the covenant that their father had worked so hard to establish. Because the rise of a great power often requires the unremitting efforts of several generations of monarchs to lay a firm foundation.

Since it is the prince of the sea who is coming, Yan Longye, as the prince of the Zhangxiong department, of course, wants to be hospitable.
