"The top of Mount Tai was born, and the strong people from all sides of the demon clan gathered, and the monks of my generation remembered that most of these demon clans were hidden in the wilderness, and they did not hurt human lives, so they did not embarrass them, just wait for them to take the treasure and leave. But in order to prevent accidents, the surrounding sects will also send people to secretly monitor and grasp the situation at the top of Mount Tai. Xuan Lingzi paused and said, "This time, because of the addition of this group of monsters from the Western Regions, the competition for foreign treasures is very different from previous years. They split into two groups, each forming an alliance with one demon king and joining forces to expel the other. Although there were no accidents in the process, the division of the treasure was completed peacefully. And one of the leading ones is this cold wind. This fang is full of tricks, and it is inevitable that His Majesty will block the Western Regions Pass, and I am afraid that he will take other routes. The Tang Dynasty is big, the border does not know how much, it is too difficult to block one by one, in the view of the poor road, we should hire strange people, track the whereabouts, and search and kill this fang. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "What the real person said is very true, but this matter should not be publicized, and other excuses are needed." ”

Xuan Lingzi said: "It's okay, Your Majesty can say that this demon has stolen the palace treasures, and when he recruits a suitable strange person, he will tell the truth in secret." ”

Luo Han didn't know that his reputation had actually spread to Chang'an, and someone had seen him through. As Xuan Lingzi said, Luo Han didn't go west at all. He went all the way east, ready to reach the seaside, then took a boat north, crossed the strait, arrived at the northern wasteland, and then detoured back to the Tang Dynasty without a sense of coastal defense, it was impossible to block the coastline, in comparison, it was too difficult to leave by land with a full six oil bottles.

The carriage was galloping on the official road, jolting wildly, Luo Han looked at the map while driving the car, he didn't want to appear in any city like a state or county, he wanted to find a way with as few people as possible, even if it was a long detour. Suddenly there was a little girl's cry behind her, and I don't know which little girl said, "Mother, I'm hungry." ”

Luo Han said casually: "There is a mezzanine under the seat cushion of the carriage, which contains dry food and drinking water, if there is not much left, tell me in advance, I will find a place to replenish it." ”

The girl's crying soon stopped, and after a while, Zheng Guanyin lifted the curtain, poked her head out of the car door frame, and asked, "Engong, where is this, is it still far from the Datang border?" ”

Luo Han didn't look back and replied, "I don't know either, and I'm not familiar with Datang." But we don't take the Silk Road to the Western Regions. We went east to the sea, took a detour through the Northern Wilderness, crossed grasslands and deserts, and then went to the White Lion Country in the west. ”

Zheng Guanyin worried: "If you go around so far, I'm afraid that the children will not be able to bear it." ”

Luo Han explained: "Once we leave the border of the Tang Dynasty, we can use spells to take you to fly, or we will arrive in a few days, so there is no need to really travel long distances through the wasteland." The reason why we don't take the route of the Western Regions is because there are monks stationed in various passes in the Tang Dynasty, and the five children are too conspicuous to be discovered, and we don't dare to use spells, so we can't take them over the mountains and mountains. ”

When Zheng Guanyin heard this, he said: "Then it's all up to Engong to arrange." ”

Suddenly, the wheel ran over a small stone, and the body was greatly bumped, Zheng Guanyin was about to return, but his hand had already let go of the door frame, and he was so jolted that he was unstable on his feet, and fell towards the car, only having time to scream. A strong and powerful arm wrapped around her waist, and Luo Han stretched out a hand at the last moment, and firmly buckled Zheng Guanyin's slender waist with his backhand.

"Ma'am, are you alright? I'm in a hurry, please forgive me for offending. Luo Han exerted his arm and pushed Zheng Guanyin's body right, and saw her hold on to the door frame, and then let go.

Zheng Guanyin was shocked, and took a few breaths before saying, "Thank you Engong for taking action and saving the concubine's life." ”

Luo Han snorted and didn't answer. The carriage made its way up a fork in the road and went away with the sound of the wheels turning.

At dawn, the carriage stopped in a forest. Horses are not engines after all, flesh and blood will be tired and hungry. In order to avoid leaving too obvious clues, Luo Han could not find a town to change horses. Besides, although he himself was not tired, the little girls had not slept in the middle of the night, and had long been sleepy, and it was difficult to fall asleep in the carriage, so they stopped to replenish their energy, and fell asleep after a while.

Luo Han led the two horses pulling the cart to the side to graze on the grass, came back after tying them, lifted the curtain of the car and looked at it, the five little girls were sleeping together, and Zheng Guanyin was sitting in the corner with dry food and chewing slowly.

Luo Han smiled and said, "If you don't sleep, let's go down and walk, the chasing soldiers won't find us for a while." ”

"Hmm." Zheng Guanyin nodded and walked down with dry food.

Luo Han suddenly asked, "In a month or two, I will leave this land forever, will I regret it?" ”

Zheng Guanyin shook his head: "The only concern of the concubine body now is these children, as long as they are with them, they can be happy, and the concubine body will be satisfied." ”

Luo Han thought for a while and said: "I don't dare to say anything else, when I get to the White Lion Country, I can let Wanru be the lord of a city, although the population of the Western Regions is not comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, there are always twenty or thirty thousand people in a city, which is enough to supply your family with fine clothes and food." ”

Zheng Guanyin said: "Thank you for taking care of it." ”

Luo Han shook his head: "It's a matter of duty." Other than that...... If possible, I would like you to marry one of your daughters to the King of the White Lion Nation, so that you can be assured of a worry-free life. Rest assured, the king of the White Lion Kingdom is only in his twenties now, which is not too old. If not, his eldest prince would be eight years old and would be engaged, but in that case I would have to kill the current king within ten years, and I don't really want to do that. ”

Zheng Guanyin was surprised: "Why? ”

Luo Han said: "It's very complicated to say, to put it simply, I am now in charge of the military of the White Lion Country, and I am considered a powerful minister, but I will leave in ten years, if you don't marry the royal family, I am afraid that the king will be angry with you after he gains power." Of course, if the children don't want to, I think other ways to settle down can also be, but it may not be so honorable, but there is no problem with worrying about food and clothing. ”

Zheng Guanyin said: "The concubine body does not pursue any power, I just hope that the children can grow up carefree, as for whether to marry, it depends on the children when they grow up." ”

Luo Han didn't talk about this topic anymore, looked at the cake in Zheng Guanyin's hand that he had only bitten a bite, and said: "If it's not delicious, don't eat it yet, this horse's physical exertion is too great, and if nothing else, we have to rest here for an hour, I'll get some meat nearby, and call me immediately if there is a situation." ”

Zheng Guanyin thought about it and said, "Okay, Engong go and come back quickly." He put away the dry food and didn't want to waste it. 163

I have to say that the prosperity of species in this mountain forest is far better than reality, Luo Han brought back a pheasant and a hare after a while, if it is not for the fact that it is more time-consuming to deal with, he can also drag a tiger back. The prey is slaughtered and cleaned, then the fire is raised, skewered and grilled, sprinkled with spices, and the fragrant smell of barbecue fills the mountains and forests.

"Tell the children to get up and eat, the children are still growing, and it is not good to eat dry food alone. I see that the horses are almost rested, let's get out of here first, I'll control the speed, and you can continue to sleep in the car after eating. ”

Zheng Guanyin said: "Don't you eat, Engong?" ”

Luo Han shook his head: "I'm out of the way, someone will come to take over and escort you after a while, and then I'll do something, and by the way, you can have a good meal." ”

"Oh." Zheng Guanyin didn't say anything more, took the skewered roast chicken and roast rabbit from Luo Han's hand, and returned to the carriage.

Luo Han led the horse that pulled the cart, put it on the carriage unhurriedly, patted the horse's buttocks lightly, and the carriage moved forward slowly. The horses walked leisurely, like a diet after a meal. Luo Han was not in a hurry, but only occasionally pulled the reins to control the direction of progress. The sound of a few children eating was heard in the carriage, accompanied by laughter, which was quite warm.

After walking for two or three hours, four horses and two people appeared in front of them, but Qi Tao and Liu Nian were already waiting here. Luo Han stopped the carriage, jumped down, and after a few words of explanation to Qi Tao and Liu Nian, Qi Tao and Liu Nian began to replace the horses pulling the cart and replaced them with the two horses they brought.

Luo Han walked to the side of the carriage and said, "Madam, I want to do something, and my companion will take care of you in the past two days, his name is Liunian, you can talk to him about anything." ”

Zheng Guanyin poked his head out of the window and said, "What is Engong going to do?" Is it dangerous? ”

Luo Han shook his head: "Don't worry about it, I'll catch up when I'm done." ”

"Be careful...... If it really doesn't work, hand over the concubine's mother and daughter, after all, the concubine is from a big family, and the person who forgives him doesn't dare to embarrass the concubine too much. ”

Luo Han smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, I'm measured, I'll be fine." In the passing years, the person has been handed over to you, what are the three long and two short, I will ask you. ”

Liu Nian smiled: "Don't worry, captain, don't you just catch a car." But you come early when you're done, and it's a good thing that one or two horses are on the way. ”

"Got it, let's go,"

Liu Nian drove the carriage away. Luo Han and Qi Tao found a nearby village to foster the four horses, and then went to the town to have a good meal and packed a bunch of things. Then the two came back to the official road, found a hill, and set up a small tent on the top of the mountain to live.

It's not that the two of them are hot-headed and camping, the reason why Luo Han and Qi Tao stay here is to confirm whether the pursuers can find them. Although he used a large number of suspicious soldiers, it could only deceive mortals and delay time. If there is a cultivator who intervenes, then it is very likely to directly lock the position of Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, in order not to be taken by surprise, and in order to buy them time, Luo Han decided to stay on this necessary road and wait, if no one chases him, it will be enough, if someone chases, he will kill if he can, and if he can't kill him, he will have to entangle them well, consume their time, and it is best to lead them in the wrong direction.

However, Luo Han was too careful this time, he didn't know that because there was a powerful demon clan around Zheng Guanyin, it would affect the monks' calculations, and the monks in Chang'an City couldn't determine Zheng Guanyin's location for a while, and it was not possible to gather strange people and strange people in a day or two to have results, even if the monks in Chang'an City helped deliver the news, it would take some time for these strange people to come to Chang'an. Now Li Shimin can only use the power of the state capital, through fast horses and pigeons, let the state government strictly investigate the carriage and children, but found nothing.

After waiting for a day and a night without finding a suspected pursuer, Luo Han relieved his heart and chased after Liu Nian with Qi Tao.

But after chasing for a long time, it stands to reason that they should have been caught up at the speed of the carriage, but they have not been seen, and the code left on the road shows that they are indeed taking this road. Luo Han was a little puzzled for a while, so he could only temporarily follow the code to catch up, but he found that the code was getting more and more deviated, and he gradually reached the deep mountains. Luo Han was a little hesitant, seeing that it was getting late, he and Qi Tao stopped outside the mountain, found a place to sleep, and then contacted the nightmare through the dream, only then did he know what was going on.

As the team's informal liaison hub, Nightmare spends most of the day sleeping while shouldering the suspicions of the road. Three hours ago, Liu Nian briefly fell into a dream and told him that the carriage was bumped into by a team of officials when it was driving on the official road, and asked for inspection, and after driving away for a while, he saw that he could not get rid of the pursuers, and Liu Nian could only kill the pursuers, and fled into the mountains with the mother and daughter, he knew that Luo Han was suspicious, and found a gap to dream and informed the nightmare, so as not to let the captain think wildly.

Luo Han was speechless, he didn't count it by a thousand calculations, the pursuers didn't come, but something happened in front. Luo Han could only inform Qin Hu and the others to make some noise, so that he could distract himself a little, and at the same time abandoned the horse with Qi Tao and chased him into the mountains.

Two hours later, Luo Han and Qi Tao followed the code to meet Liu Nian in a forest.

Seeing that Luo Han's face was not good, Liu Nian hurriedly explained: "Captain, you really can't blame me, I have been picking remote paths, who would have thought that I would meet an official errand." ”

Zheng Guanyin also helped to intercede: "This is really not to blame Liu Shaoxia, the official is about to come up to inspect when he sees the carriage, and it is not reasonable at all." ”

Luo Han shook his head: "I know, it will be found sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to come so early." It seems that in order to arrest you, the emperor has not hesitated to disturb the people on a large scale. It's just that you will have to suffer the rest of the way. Your goal is too obvious, we can only pick the barren mountains and mountains. Luo Han looked at the children who had fallen asleep and sighed, "It's hard for these children." Passing years, shadows, you each bring two, and give me the big one. Madame, follow us, we are going to get out of here now. ”

"Yes, Captain" The two will gently shake the sleeping child awake, carrying one on their backs and holding the other. These children may be because of their father's death, they are very sensible, they don't cry or make trouble, and when they see their mother not speaking, they don't say a word and let Qi Tao and Liu Nian fiddle.

Luo Han shook the biggest Li Wanru and motioned her to his back, but the girl said firmly: "Uncle Engong, I can go by myself, and when I get tired, I will drag my feet and let you carry it, okay?" ”

Luo Hanwan smiled, did not refuse her kindness, nodded and said, "Don't be reckless, now fleeing is the most important thing." Alright, let's go. ”
