When I went to Phoenix Mountain again, it was already evening.

Li Jingxuan didn't care about resting, and went to follow up on the fortifications. The redesign of the bridge has been completed, piling and pouring is difficult, not to mention the huge amount of work, and there is no room for sloppiness.

In the evening, I ate coarse noodles and steamed buns with thin porridge, and the green vegetables in the big pot were basically not oily. The grain has risen too much, which has greatly exceeded the budget, and the food supply has been cut off, and the steward has to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, and he has to tighten his belt to live.

Doing manual work every day, not to mention eating these coarse foods, the body can't support it, the workers are dissatisfied and even slack off in their work, and in the end it is themselves who are damaged.

It is imperative to address the source of food.

Resting in the bamboo shed at night, the mosquitoes in the mountains buzzed a lot, biting Xia Qiu and not falling asleep all night.

In the morning, when the sky was bright, everyone got up to wash, and after a brief breakfast, they walked to the ferry in the valley.

The sling is fixed by driving a huge pile into the cliff, and then connecting to the end of the canyon with a thick rope, and sliding to the opposite bank by using the drop at both ends.

The body is suspended in the air without protection, and the hand has to hold on tightly to the smooth iron hook on the sling.

Don't look at Li Jingxuan's sick and weak appearance, standing at the ferry facing the wind, but he is very familiar with the sling, skillfully grabbing the iron hook, and his body slips and flies along the rope to the opposite bank.

The dark guard knows how to do light skills, and he is not afraid, and he passed three in the blink of an eye.

Xia Qiu was in the middle, her legs were straight and weak when it was her turn, and she didn't dare to go down with her hands tightly grasping the iron hook.

Night Shadow, who was standing behind, didn't say a word, and directly pushed her palm......

"Ah......" The wind whistled through the front door, and Xia Qiu's body quickly slid towards the opposite side.

When I got to the other side, my body was caught, and my feet finally landed.

Hey, it's kind of fun.

There was also a labor camp on the other side of the canyon, and the steward had prepared horses for them, and the group of people rushed to Xiong Blind Gully.

After the Phoenix Mountain, there are five or six miles to the junction with Hexian County, there is a section of the mountain road is very difficult to walk, there are many potholes and gravel, but fortunately there is no big obstacle, a little trimming the grain truck can still pass.

When the group arrived at the boundary of Hexian County, the mountain road gradually smoothed out, and occasionally the houses of scattered farmers could be seen.

Riding a horse briskly, half an hour has been close to the bear blind ditch, only about five miles away from the grain road must pass, the terrain is dangerous to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder the mountain is the king for decades without falling, even the government has no way to take them.

In order to avoid arousing the vigilance of the bandits, the secret guard changed from light to dark, Xia Qiu disguised himself as Li Jingxuan's entourage, and the two went up the mountain with their bare hands.

Shortly after separation, the two were stopped at the first outpost point in Xiong Blind Gully.

"Who?" At the dangerous place of the mountain pass, several rough-clothed men with big knives suddenly rushed out and surrounded the two.

Li Jingxuan stepped forward and saluted: "A few big brothers, I have something important to find the master of Guizhai Jinda, please pass it on." ”

The literati were dressed up, young and hairless, but they said in vain that they wanted to find the master of Jinda, and everyone couldn't help laughing, "Boy, if you don't have any, get out of here, the grandfathers are in a good mood today, otherwise they will kill you and eat meat." ”

Li Jingxuan took out a dart from his sleeve, "This is a token of the Jin Da family, you big brothers should recognize it, right?" Please report to the Li family in Bibo Lake. ”

The dart has a unique mark on it, and it does belong to the golden boss, although he does not often take it out and use it, but it has been said before that whoever holds the dart is the benefactor of Xiong Blind Ditch.

"Wait, I'll report it right away." The bandits suddenly did not dare to laugh, and one of them took the token and hurried up the mountain.

Don't look at Li Jingxuan's shy and blushing when he talks to the girl, but after all, he is cultivated by a big family, and his temperament is natural, and instead of being afraid, he is as tall as a Zhilan jade tree in the face of a group of fierce and vicious bandits.

About a half-burnt incense, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves from far and near, a girl in red on a fast horse whipped.

The horse was fast, and it crashed straight into Li Jingxuan, "...... the ride"

Li Jingxuan didn't expect her to be so bold, she forgot to dodge for a while, and saw that the fierce horse was about to crash into him, and her face, which was not much bloody, turned white.

Xia Qiu's eyes were quick and he dragged Li Jingxuan away.

The red-clothed girl holding the horsewhip braked suddenly, don't look at her pretty figure, but she is extremely skilled in riding horses, her two white hands grabbed the reins, and her black eyes fell on the frightened Li Jingxuan, and she was quite surprised: "You are the son of the Li family in Bibo Lake?" ”

Li Jingxuan returned the salute, "It's down." ”

The girl in red was amused by his roundabout etiquette, "What are you looking for my father?" ”

"I have something important to visit Uncle Kim."

"Are you here to be hired?" The girl in red looked at Li Jingxuan again, her red lips pursed with some disgust, and she said, "I don't like nerds." ”

Li Jingxuan was stunned, the Li family and the Jin family did not have a marriage contract.

Xia Qiu was also surprised, but she didn't expect the bandits' den to raise a beautiful girl with delicate skin/flesh and skin, which was quite conspicuous in the men's pile.

And ...... Not really. Li Jingxuan was so frightened that his face turned red, and he subconsciously glanced at Xia Qiu, as if he wanted to explain something.

But when the words came to my mouth, I felt that there was no need to do more.

"There is no best." The girl jumped off the horse and waved at Li Jingxuan, "Come with me." ”

The girl's name is Jin Xuan'er, and she is the pearl of Boss Jin's palm, and he is reluctant to raise his baby daughter by the pig arch of the bandits' den until she is eighteen years old and unmarried. Jin Xuan'er also looked down on the rough men in the village, and wanted to continue his father's mantle, thinking that he would wait a few years and then go down the mountain to rob a pleasing mountain to inherit the ancestry.

With Jin Xuan'er here, the major dangerous whistles are unimpeded. In the cottage all the year round, Jin Xuan'er is actually full of curiosity about the outside, especially when he learned that the son of the Li family came, and his father praised him as if there was nothing in the sky and no in the ground.

Along the way, Jin Xuan'er asked whether she had a match or not, and Li Jingxuan did not take the initiative to speak, but he also had to answer questions.

Xia Qiu, who was following behind Li Jingxuan, listened to it, and always felt that it was not right, she asked Li Jingxuan what he was doing this year, what he did, how much money he could earn a year, and whether he had a wife room at home?

Hey, I was obviously disgusted just now.

Xia Qiu quietly glanced at Jin Xuan'er. Good guy, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The bandit village in Xiong Blind Ditch is very large, and Li Jingxuan and the two of them are fine-skinned and tender/meaty, especially the son of the Li family is a little more beautiful than a woman, and he was almost not watched by the rough men in the village as monkeys.

Jin Xuan'er flicked her whip and scolded them: "You all have itchy skin and lack of pumping, don't you?" What to do, what to do! ”

Everyone was dispersed, and Jin Xuan'er invited the two into the lobby, "Li Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll go and ask my father to come out." ”

When Xia Qiu saw her enter the back hall, her cheeks showed shyness.

Over there, Jin Xuan'er kept asking questions all the way, and Li Jingxuan no longer knew anything about men and women, and he also noticed that something was wrong.

Xia Qiu said curiously: "Gongzi Li, do you really have a marriage contract with the Jin family?" ”

Li Jingxuan's face turned pale with fright, "It's impossible." ”

Speaking of which, Jin Xuan'er was pulled over by Boss Jin who was probing his brain as soon as he arrived in the back hall, "What should I do?" Li Gongzi, are you still satisfied? ”
