Xiao Lingji was rudely imprisoned in the dungeon of Crow Ridge like this, the cracked wound was still slowly oozing blood, and his robe was soaked with blood.

The dungeon was damp, and there was a foul smell everywhere, and he sat on the only straw mat in his sight, thinking about his Longquan sword and the unidentified girl in green, in a trance.

Beiyan Princess Jin Ling'er is going to find Gu Qingfeng, this is the third day she has been to Crow Ridge, the deal that should be discussed has been negotiated, say hello to Gu Qingfeng, she is about to leave for Beiyan.

With the pearl and jade, the two maids walked to the place where the people gathered in Crow Ridge, and saw that Gu Qingfeng and Master Mustache were discussing something, and when they saw Jin Ling'er's master and servant approaching, they stopped their mouths, stood up and saluted Jin Ling'er: "Gu Qingfeng has seen the eldest lady!" ”

Jin Ling'er didn't tell Gu Qingfeng her true identity, in front of Gu Qingfeng, the two maids of Pearl and Jade also kept calling Jin Ling'er "Miss", because Gu Qingfeng always thought that she was just the daughter of a big family in Beiyan, and he would never have thought that she was the princess of Shengtong, who was golden and jade.

Jin Ling'er smiled slightly, and said crisply: "The owner of the village does not have to be polite, I came this time to bid farewell to the owner of the village." ”

"Crow Ridge is a poor and remote country, coarse tea and light rice, and the greeting is not good, which has made the eldest lady feel wronged in the past few days." Although Jin Ling'er is young, she has an awe-inspiring and powerful aura all over her body, in front of her, Gu Qingfeng didn't dare to be ruthless, and she also began to learn from the mustache master, and became crepe.

Jin Ling'er replied: "The scenery of this Crow Ridge is very good. The owner of the village, you and I have been dealing with each other for two years, I will not say much about politeness, and ask the owner of the village to deliver the goods on time according to the agreed date, I am waiting in Beiyan. ”

Gu Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, eldest lady, please rest assured, I, Gu Qingfeng, am a person of credibility, three weapons, to ensure that they are delivered to the designated place on time and in sufficient quantities." ”

"That's fine, there will be a period later, farewell." After Jin Ling'er finished speaking, she took the two maids and walked out, familiar with the road.

Seeing that Jin Ling'er was leaving, Gu Qingfeng called two people and ordered: "You two, take my token and send the eldest lady down the mountain!" ”

When Master Mustache saw Jin Ling'er walking away, he said to Gu Qingfeng flatteringly: "Congratulations to Master Gu, the weapons that the eldest lady ordered from you this year are twice as many as last year, and Beiyan's silver is about to flow to our Crow Ridge." ”

Gu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction and said: "His Royal Highness King Yi asked us to send a lot more silver to Liuzhou this year than last year, originally I was always worried, but after completing this deal with Beiyan, I will have no worries!" ”

Beiyan is heavy on business, and there is no pig iron ore in the territory, and the weapons used by the Northern Yan army have always been purchased from Western Chu, but somehow, two years ago, Murong Shi, the general of the Western Chu Protectorate, suddenly cut off the channel for Northern Yan to buy weapons from Western Chu. When Jin Ling'er arrived at Crow Ridge, it was on the order of Jin Wushu, the emperor of Northern Yan, that he negotiated with Gu Qingfeng and purchased the three weapons needed by Northern Yan.

When Jin Ling'er went down the mountain, Nangong Shuo and Zhang Fugang rode to the foot of the Crow Ridge, in the morning light, only to see a winding path leading to the halfway up the mountain, the mountain road is extremely narrow, only one person is allowed to pass, on both sides of the road, thorns are dense, strange rocks are grand, the two have to abandon the horse, along the path to the mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, the mountain road stopped abruptly, a cliff appeared in front of the two, Nangong Shuo looked around carefully, there was no road to continue to move forward, the huge crow ridge is like a huge stone vertebrae, installed on the hard mountain stone base, forming a natural danger that ordinary people are difficult to climb.

Zhang Fudao: "Young Master Nangong, there are cliffs on all sides here, how can we get up to this Crow Ridge?" ”

Nangong Shuo pondered for a while, "This Crow Ridge is really steep, no wonder Gu Qingfeng can be entrenched here all the year round, but the government is helpless." Alas......" After speaking, he sighed heavily, a little helpless.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered the words of Guo surnamed Yicheng, according to Guo Yicheng, Gu Qingfeng has thousands of people under him, since there are thousands of people and horses, how are these people eating, drinking, and Lazar transported up the mountain? There must still be a way out!

Thinking of this, Nangong Shuo came to his senses and said to Zhang Fu: "Guard Zhang, there must be a passage to transport grain and grass on this Crow Ridge, let's look for it separately and carefully." ”

Zhang Fushen thought so, and the two separated, each looking for a way up the mountain.

Nangong Shuo turned around, and just when he was clueless and desperate, he saw that there seemed to be movement in the distance, but he couldn't see clearly, he was vigilant in his heart, and quickly hid in the grass beside him.

When Jin Ling'er's master and servant approached, Nangong Shuo recognized the Longquan Sword in her hand at a glance, and naturally understood that she was the green-clothed girl she and Xiao Lingji met in the Suzhou courtyard that night, not to mention, Jin Ling'er was still dressed in green today.

Nangong Shuo stood up from the grass when the three of Jin Ling'er's master and servant were more than a foot away from him, blocking their way.

He stood with his fists clenched, and said in Yili: "This old lady, we meet again!" ”

Jin Ling'er saw a person out of thin air in the grass, she was slightly taken aback, looked at it, and also recognized Nangong Shuo, and thought of Xiao Lingji who she saw in the cottage, so she guessed the reason why Nangong Shuo would appear here, compared to Xiao Lingji, who was outrageous, she had a good impression of Nangong Shuo, so she said directly: "What? Want to go to Raven Ridge to save your brother? ”

Jin Ling'er's crisp voice sounded like heaven to Nangong Shuo, and he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked, "Dare to ask the girl, is my brother really in Crow Ridge?" ”

"I saw it with my own eyes, but I'm afraid that you don't have the ability to go up and save him, I've said everything I need to say, get out of the way!" After Jin Ling'er finished speaking, she prepared to continue on her way.

Finally got the news of Xiao Lingji, how could Nangong Shuo be willing to let it go, he said to Jin Ling'er in a good voice: "Girl, slow down!" My brother was taken captive last night, and now there is no news of him, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead! Please also ask the girl to tell me more about my brother for the sake of our relationship, please. ”

Jin Ling'er saw that he was sincere, so she stopped and said, "I don't know why Gu Qingfeng kidnapped your brother, I can only tell you that when I saw him this morning, he could still walk, and he didn't look like he was about to die." ”

Hearing that Xiao Lingji was unharmed, Nangong Shuo was slightly relieved, and said to Jin Ling'er: "Don't hide it from the girl, I will pass through Crow Ridge on the way, there is something important to catch Liangzhou, and my brother must not have an accident." The girl can come down from the mountain, naturally knows the way up the mountain, and hopes that the girl will point out to me, the girl's great kindness, I Nangong Shuo will not forget it in this life, and I will repay it. ”

Jin Ling'er smiled: "Your name is Nangong Shuo?" You asked me to show you the way, how do you know I'm not from Raven Ridge? ”

Nangong Shuo knew that he could only treat each other with sincerity at this time: "The girl laughed." As a girl, if it is a person from Crow Ridge, there will be a name and surname, before I came, I have inquired, except for Gu Qingfeng, there are no other characters in Crow Ridge. ”。

Invisibly receiving Nangong Shuo's compliment, Jin Ling'er said: "Nangong Shuo, you are a smart person, let's talk about it directly, although I am not from Crow Ridge, but the affairs of Crow Ridge, I am inconvenient to intervene, if you want to go to Crow Ridge to save people, you better not look for other ways." ”
