When Lu Xiao came down the river to the bean pit, Yongzhen's mood looked a little depressed.

Lu Xiao held Yongzhen's hand and asked gently, "What's wrong?" Are you upset to see me? ”

Yongzhen shook his head, and held Lu Xiao's soft hand slightly: "I'm very happy to meet you, but the task you gave me ...... I messed up. ”

Noticing the red-clothed girl who was following Lu Xiao and probing her brain, Yongzhen asked with a little curiosity, "Who is this girl?" ”

"She."

Lu Xiao smiled helplessly: "It's a halfway way to rely on my skin girl, let me teach her martial arts and infiltration skills." ”

"Hey! Who do you say is the leather girl! ”

Tuoba Yu'er crossed her hands on her hips and retorted unhappily: "Miss Ben, this is called self-motivated!" ”

"Say."

Yu'er looked at the hands of the two with a somewhat strange expression: "Is this the good of Long Yangzhi mentioned in my brother-in-law's story?" ”

"Huh?"

Lu Xiao couldn't help but roll her eyes: "Leather girl, you can see clearly, Yongzhen is a woman!" ”

"Huh?"

Tuoba Yu'er was taken aback, and approached to take a closer look under Lu Xiao's beckoning, and only then did she see some clues from Yongzhen's soft facial lines.

"I'm sorry, it's me Meng Lang."

Yu'er's outspokenness was cultivated since childhood, and she has offended many people since she was a child.

But once she realized that it was her fault afterwards, she would not stubbornly stalk her neck and refuse to admit it, so she simply bowed her head to Yongzhen and apologized.

"Don't care."

Yongzhen smiled and explained, "This is Lu Xiao's disguise technique......"

Seeing that Yu'er's eyes suddenly became shining, Lu Xiao hurriedly interrupted Yongzhen's words: "What, there are many people on the dock, let's go back to the inn first and talk in detail." ”

……

"I see."

After listening to Yongzhen's explanation, Lu Xiao finally understood what she said was messed up.

Lu Xiao's instructions to Yongzhen were to track down the whereabouts of the Demon King and Shennong Ding, and did not let her carry out the action of capturing the Ding in advance.

Lu Xiao speculated that Yongzhen may have tried to prove that he could help him, so he sneaked into the Demon King Cave overnight to try to take out Shennong Ding.

It's a pity that Yongzhen's action failed because it was too hasty, but it caused the side effects of startling the snake.

Seeing the look of self-blame on Yongzhen's face, Lu Xiao smiled and comforted: "Don't care so much, just take this failure experience as a lesson, and before you start your operation next time, you must remember to find out the information first." ”

The main reason for Yongzhen's failure was that the information was unknown, and if she had learned in advance that Qin Qiong was also staying in the cottage, she would have thought twice.

Qin Qiong, the word Shubao, one of the most well-known heroes in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties, and Cheng Yanjin were one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion.

Even in modern times, you can often see the portraits of Qin Shubao and Wei Chi Jingde...... As a door god to ward off evil spirits.

Compared with Cheng Yanjin, who has a more frizzy personality, Qin Shubao is more calm in both marching and fighting and dealing with people.

Cheng Yanjin was a little profligate after reuniting with his old friend and capturing Shennong Ding, drinking heavily to get himself drunk, but Qin Shubao was very measured and not completely drunk, and found the spiritual power fluctuations caused by Yongzhen's use of spells in his light sleep.

Lu Xiao had never told Yu'er the truth about his coming to Douzikeng before, only saying that he would meet his companions.

Knowing that the artifact enshrined by the Tuoba tribe was stored in the Demon King's Chamber, this hot-tempered girl was more radical than Yongzhen, and she advocated directly hitting the mountain and retrieving the tribe's holy relics from the bandits.

Lu Xiao angrily curled her finger and knocked on Yu'er's head: "You calm me down." ”

Seeing Yu'er's resentful expression holding her head, Lu Xiao sighed and persuaded bitterly: "If you want to fulfill your long-cherished wish to assassinate Yang Guang, you must first restrain your temper. ”

"Problems that can be resolved through negotiation should not be resolved by force as much as possible, and the use of force is the last resort."

"In short, let's pay homage to the Demon King first."

Lu Xiao touched her chin thoughtfully: "It may not be easy to convince Cheng to bite Jin's bullish temper, but I think Qin Shubao is a person who understands righteousness, and he will definitely not believe that nonsensical rumor." ”

"Hmph~"

Tuoba Yu'er snorted disdainfully: "The one who wins the Divine Tripod can win the world?" This kind of nonsense is really believed. ”

"If Shending really has this kind of magical function, how could my tribe be slaughtered by Yang Guang."

"Girl Tuoba......"

Yu'er, who has a straightforward personality, shook her head and put aside the sad past that she remembered again for the time being.

"Sister Yongzhen, don't be so restrained, just call me Yu'er."

Squinting at Lu Xiao, who was bowing her head and contemplating, Yu'er snorted lightly and continued: "Someone over there can also be called that, Miss Tuoba's literary and crepe name gives me goosebumps all over my body. ”

"Hmm...... Well? ”

Lu Xiao, who was distracted, only heard the second half of Yu'er's words, looked up at the girl in red with an awkward face, and her expression was a little dazed: "Are you talking to me?" ”

"You!"

The quarrel between the two made Yongzhen feel a little funny, and it was not easy to calm down the angry Yu'er.

……

After writing the worship post, the three of them went up the mountain together in an open and honest manner, and handed over the worship post under the interrogation of the thieves guarding the village.

The bandits guarding the door were illiterate, and they had never seen such an elegant way of visiting before, and they scratched their heads and looked at each other.

"You're waiting here."

One of the older thieves finally responded: "I'll go and give the letter to the king, and the others, watch over them." ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Yanjin, who had been hungover for a night, got up from bed early in the morning, the alcohol from last night had almost dissipated, and at this time he was discussing with Qin Qiong the topic that he hadn't finished last night in the Juyi Hall.

"Zhang Xutuo?"

"Yes."

Qin Qiong stroked his beard and persuaded: "Brother, it is not a way for you to be the king of the mountain all the time on this mountain, it is better to join the official army with your brother, and strive to calm the chaos in the world as soon as possible." ”

"General Zhang is a famous general of the Great Sui, unlike other officers with wine bags and rice bags, he governs the army well, and has always rewarded and punished clearly, and the bite Jin brothers don't have to worry about not being able to get ahead when they join General Zhang."

"Officers and soldiers......

Cheng Yanjin also knew that there was no way out for the king of the mountain, but now that the erosion in the court is known to the world, it is still unknown whether he can make a difference by taking refuge in the official army, and he can't pay attention to it for a while.

"My lord, there are three visitors outside the cottage handing over the ...... Goodbye. ”

"Oh?"

Cheng Yanjin was born in a famous family, and he is no stranger to such a thing.

He and Qin Qiong glanced at each other, took the salute and unfolded it while asking the little leader of the bandits, "What are the origins of those three people?" ”

"A man and two women, dressed like knights walking the rivers and lakes."

"Hmmm......"

Cheng Yanjin looked at the name left in the worship post: "Lu Xiao? Haven't you heard of it, what about Uncle Bao? ”

Qin Qiong shook his head: "I guess, it should have something to do with the tripod you got recently, since the other party came to visit in a dignified manner, why don't you meet it?" ”

"Good!"

Cheng Yanjin patted his thigh heavily: "Invite someone in!" Keep the brothers below in check, so that they don't disturb the guests. ”

"Yes! King. ”
