But now is not the time to talk about all these things, so I will talk about them casually.

Then, it was Feng Jihe who asked Su Jinyao about his next steps and how he would cooperate with Su Jinyao's steps.

Of course, the matter discussed by Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing (qíng) could not be directly told to Feng Jihe, so he said: "Feng Xianxianguan, please be wronged for a while and wait patiently." It should be around the National Day ceremony, there will be news that I brought. ”

After speaking, Su Jinyao also took out her seal and showed Feng Jihe the one engraved by it (yīn). Then he said: "All my bright business uses the seal engraved by the sun." And the one engraved (yīn) is used by my subordinates to communicate secretly. Feng Xianguan had seen the subtlety of such a seal before, this was engraved for me by Tie Shou Cen himself, and no one in the world could imitate it. So, when you see the note with this seal, it's my real news. ”

Feng Jihe took the seal and looked at it, especially the complicated and exquisite patterns, he tried his best to memorize them, and then returned the seal to Su Jinyao.

Feng Ji said: "Young master, rest assured, my old Feng has been incognito in Pingba Mountain for more than ten years, and I originally thought that I would not return to the capital for a day until I died." Now that the young master is leading again, there is hope for him to go back. So don't say wait a few months, even if it is a few more years, I am willing. ”

Su Jinyao smiled slightly and raised a glass of wine. She doesn't have to say anything, as long as she believes in the other party, she doesn't have to explain repeatedly.

The Luo brothers stood up and toasted Feng Jihe.

After toasting, Luo Xiang said: "Lord Feng, I have a map here, which depicts the topography of this Pingba Mountain and the traps you distributed. Whatever has been marked, please distract yourself and improve. ”

"What?" Feng Jihe was startled, he didn't even drink the wine, put down the wine glass, and asked Luo Xiang for the picture.

Luo Xiang smiled "haha" and said, "Lord Feng is really anxious. Here, it's not such a serious loophole, you can add and strengthen it a little, and you can make this Pingba Mountain impregnable. ”

After speaking, he took out a map from his arms and gave it to Feng Jihe with both hands.

Feng Jihe hurriedly unfolded it and watched it directly.

Su Jinyao was good, and she also got up (shēn) and walked over to watch. After all, now that this Pingba Mountain is also her territory, she wants to see what loopholes this picture has.

As a result, I saw a map full of traps, some of which were difficult and dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

After seeing this picture, Su Jinyao looked at Gu Shangqing for the first time. Only then did she understand why Gu Shangqing was seriously injured here.

It can be said that Gu Shangqing is definitely defeated and honored, even if he is planted here, he is by no means ashamed. If it were someone else, it is estimated that he would die directly here.

And after carefully looking for a few places marked by Luo Xiang, Su Jinyao secretly admired, surprised that Luo Xiang's observation angle was really tricky.

"Second Brother Luo, I couldn't have imagined that you would even find a flaw here." Su Jinyao pointed to the cliff sling they came from in the back mountain, and said, "This is not a place where ordinary people can come."

Luo Xiang smiled and said, "That's right. But I've heard that you're climbing alone with your bare hands. In other words, if there are one or two masters like you in this place, they will be taken off their heads in their sleep. ”

Although this sentence is not listened to, it is indeed true. If Gu Shangqing knew about this place at that time, he would definitely not lose to Su Jinyao with his light skills. So if you climb from the cliff, you won't be as seriously injured as you were that day.

Ron also smiled and said, "Our two brothers are actually stupid, and they have followed Tianshan Zhisuo for many years, and they have not learned any subtle Xuanmen skills. Martial arts, Zhisu said that he is not good at martial arts, and the reason why he taught the two of us some kung fu is just to dive in the mountains and chop wood, which is more convenient. However, Zhisuo taught us a method of breaking the formation, and for many years, my two brothers have only learned such a skill, which is to observe the terrain and landform, the direction of the mountain, and breaking the formation, of course, also includes attacking the mountain and capturing the village. However, this ability is only useful when the two armies are fighting, and we have been following Lord Feng for so many years, and we are also thinking that maybe one day we can help him with this. ”

Feng Jihe is the vanguard officer of the army, so he naturally has such ability. He lived in seclusion in Pingba Mountain for so many years, and did not fight a battle, but he was still diligent in training soldiers (cāo), and he also hoped that one day he could still charge into battle.

Therefore, it is normal for the Luo brothers to have such thoughts and hope to help them from the battlefield.

But now that the Luo brothers are going to follow Su Jinyao, Luo Xiang left such a map, which can be regarded as repaying Feng Jihe.

When Su Jinyao heard this, she was also extremely happy, and said: "Don't hide it from the two of you, I will go back to the capital all the way, and I may have to go to other cottages, and the time has come for us to show our hands (shēn)." ”

The Luo brothers are naturally also leaping (yù) try, they are not looking forward to being co-opted by the imperial court, but they feel that following Su Jinyao, they may really be able to make a difference.

What's more, Tianshan Zhisuo was saying the word "fate" before he died, but they felt that Su Jinyao was able to subdue the white bear Bai Da Fat effortlessly, but it was really fate with the two brothers.

After eating the wine and food, and looking at the map, Su Jinyao saw that it was getting late, and said goodbye to Feng Ji.

Feng Jihe still wanted to stay, hoping that Su Jinyao would stay for a while. But Su Jinyao said that there are too many follow-up things (qíng) to be delayed.

In fact, there are about 20 days left before the National Day ceremony, and before the end of the month, not only must we arrive, but also to subdue as many cottages as possible, and collect all kinds of forces for our own use, of course, the tighter the time, the better.

Feng Jihe knew that he couldn't keep it, so he saw him off in person, and also asked someone to find two good horses and give them to the Luo brothers.

Therefore, Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing took the Luo brothers straight to the post house, and decided to set off overnight.

Luo Xiang said: "Little junior sister, there is a cottage in Jinwu Mountain, one hundred and twenty miles north from here, the relationship between the owner of the village and my brother is still good, we might as well go there to have a look." ”

Ron nodded and said, "Li Lichen, the owner of the village of Jinwu Mountain, has also expressed his hope that the two of us brothers will go to his village several times, but our brother is used to being idle, and he also knows that he will also carry a share of people (qíng) when he goes there, and Suo (xìng) does not go. In fact, we can go to Jinwu Mountain overnight, and at most we can go back and forth tomorrow at noon. Take a little detour, but be able to take in one more copycat. ”

The owner of the Jinwu cottage

Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing exchanged opinions and felt that they could go to Jinwu Mountain.

First, Jinwu Mountain is indeed not far away, and there is not much delay in going back and forth overnight.

Second, they didn't have any specific goals, they just wanted to make as much noise as possible in order to make the Gu family recognize Su Jinyao.

Since the Luo brothers are so sure of Li Lichen, the owner of Jinwu Mountain, of course, it is worth a trip.

Always blindly running to other cottages, fighting, time-consuming and laborious to come is much better.

Therefore, Gu Shangqing and Su Jinyao went back to the post house first, and arranged for Xiuning and Dongzi to wait in the post house for one more day, and they would come back at noon tomorrow.

In addition, Su Jinyao counted the time and left a mark, if there were people summoned by Qiu Ying who arrived first, let them stand around the post house.

Everything was arranged, and Su Jinyao, Gu Shangqing, and the Luo brothers rode north overnight and went to Jinwu Mountain.

Because it is a nocturnal walk, it is considered to be familiar with the terrain, and the difference in eyesight, speed, and endurance of the horse Ben (shēn) is different, so it is easier to see the quality of the horse when walking at night.

Even if Feng Jihe chose two good horses for the Luo brothers, it is estimated that they are also one of the best horses in Pingba Mountain. But these two horses still can't match Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing's horses.

In this way, they moved each other and hurried, and ran for more than an hour before they saw the outline of Jinwu Mountain.

In ancient times, the golden crow was the meaning of the sun god bird, and it can be seen that the mountain of the golden crow named after it is by no means the ability of Pingba Mountain.

From a distance, Jinwu Mountain does look like a big bird (yù) soaring into the sky, but the image of this bird is particularly abstract.

Ron said: "It's still about an hour before dawn, so let's rest in place for a while, and wait for dawn to go directly to Jinwu Mountain to see the owner of the village." In the past now, the mountain gate will not be opened, and the people in the village will have to work to report back and forth. ”

Su Jinyao had no objections, and Gu Shangqing had no other opinions except that he was worried that Su Jinyao's (shēn) son would get cold at night in the wild.

Therefore, the four of them found a forest nearby, and even if the leaves of the trees had fallen at this time, at least they could shelter some of the cold wind.

And the horses were tied on all sides, and a small circle was laid about in the siege, and the four of them sat in the middle, and gathered the branches of the trees, and made a fire, and sat down to rest.

In such weather, it is better to sleep than not to sleep, otherwise you will definitely catch a cold when you wake up.

Gu Shangqing (shēn) is still injured. Although it is inconvenient to undress him now, Su Jinyao still checked his pulse, and then gave him acupuncture to help him channel his internal strength.

The Luo brothers closed their eyes and recuperated, and did not disturb Su Jinyao to check on Gu Shangqing.

When Su Jinyao was about to close the target, Gu Shangqing's brows furrowed slightly, and he gently pressed Su Jinyao's hand.

Su Jinyao's ears were also extremely keen, she nodded, and looked in the direction behind Gu Shangqing.

Almost at the same time, the Roche brothers were also alert, and all four of them heard footsteps coming towards them. And it sounds like a lot of people, at least twenty or thirty people.

"Little junior sister, you and Gu Gongzi stay here, let's go over and have a look." The Luo brothers started (shēn) and motioned for Su Jinyao to continue to give Gu Shangqing acupuncture, and the two of them went over to see who it was.

Su Jinyao nodded, put away Gu Shangqing's needles as soon as possible, and then helped Gu Shangqing up.

At this time, the Luo brothers had already gone far away.

But in the faint morning light on the horizon, I still couldn't see who was there.

Su Jinyao said: "Brother, let's go over and have a look." This place is very close to the Jinwu Mountain, and it may be that the people patrolling the vicinity of the mountain. ”

Gu Shangqing nodded, straightened out his clothes, and by the way, took out the snake bone whip, and walked forward with Su Jinyao.

After walking a short distance, I heard Ron's voice in front of me and remembered, "Nephew, why are you?" ”

"Uncle Luo, Second Uncle Luo, why are you two here?" The two of them asked one after another, both surprised at why the other party appeared here.

When Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing heard this, they knew that the person in front of them knew Ron.

The two quickened their pace, and after a while, they saw that it was a young man talking to Ron and Luo Xiang in front of them.

This young man is seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is not fat or thin, and his appearance can only be regarded as average.

But if you look closely, this young man has a very kind face and a smile, and he should be a person who knows his duties and etiquette, not the young and arrogant type.

Seeing Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing appear, the young man was even more surprised, and asked the Luo brothers: "Two uncles, are these two on the same road?" Or ......"

"Oh, this is my little sister." Ron pointed at Gu Shangqing again and said, "This is my junior sister's brother." ”

The young man nodded to Su Jinyao, but he opened his mouth and looked embarrassed, he shouldn't have known what to call it for a while.

Looking at the age, Gu Shangqing is in his twenties, so he can be called "Brother Tai", and Su Jinyao is fifteen or six years old, so she should be called "girl". But the Luo brothers said that Su Jinyao was their junior sister, and she had grown up in this generation, so he couldn't say anything.

Su Jinyao could see his thoughts. If it were her, she wouldn't want to have more aunts out of thin air, and she still looked so young.

Su Jinyao said: "My surname is Liu, my name is Su Jinyao, you can call me by my name." My brother's surname is Gu, you can call him Gu Gongzi. ”

"Oh, Miss Liu, Gu Gongzi." This young man is easy to open his mouth. Then he introduced himself: "My name is Li Mingjue, and my father has a very good relationship with the two uncles of the Luo family. ”

The Roche brothers nodded. Luo Xiang said again: "Mingjue, I still want to ask you, how did you come here this morning?" ”

It's early, but it's just getting dark. It is estimated that when Li Mingjue came down from Jinwu Mountain, it was still pitch black.

Li Mingjue listened, sighed, and said, "My father (shēn) has been coughing up blood all the time. I heard a master say that it is good to make tea with the fog and frost condensed in the early woods. But the weather is not too cold yet, and there is not much fog and frost. I collected it for three days in a row, and it was only a small cup. If you boil it to make tea, I'm afraid that there will be no mouthful. So I'm going to collect it today, and I'm going to do it every day in the future, and I hope my father can get better as soon as possible. ”

When the Luo brothers heard this, they immediately showed nervousness and anxiety, and it didn't look like a fake.

Ron hurriedly asked, "It's only been a few months, why is Brother Li sick?" This coughing up blood can be big or small, and you can't slack off. ”

Luo Xiang also said: "Yes, where is the doctor?" There was such a recipe? Sounds weird, are there any other medicines? We'll help you figure it out. ”

How can there be such a "master"?

"There are no other medicines. （#…… Li Mingjue shook his head, sighed, and said, "I only gave a prescription for medicinal tea, and the rest is gone." The master...... I've heard that it's very effective. ”

Effective?!! Su Jinyao felt that it was not very reliable when she heard this word, so she took a step forward and asked, "Did you bring the recipe for medicinal tea?" ”

"Nope." Li Mingjue said: "The master said that the recipe for medicinal tea should be offered in front of the portrait of Tai Laojun, which is equivalent to seeking the meaning of immortal medicine. Wait until the frost is collected and the medicinal tea is drunk, and then burn the prescription. Wishes can be noble. ”

"Ridiculous!" When Ron heard this, he stomped his foot heavily and said, "My nephew, my little junior sister is a disciple of the divine doctor Zhu Xinsuo, and she is a descendant of her relatives. This is a doctor who can't even be invited, you can take us to the mountain and show your father. Don't believe in any masters, it's unreliable at all. ”

Luo Xiang also said: "Yes, it's okay if you are a master or a doctor with high skills, but you still enshrine any prescription in front of Tai Laojun's portrait, this is not nonsense." Not to mention that there is no immortal medicine, even if there is, I don't believe that if you worship it for a few days, the incense in the morning and evening can smoke the immortal medicine out. ”

When Li Mingjue heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was a little embarrassed, and he also looked very embarrassed, and said, "This ...... Don't hide it from the two uncles, this is what my second mother meant, and the second mother said that the master cannot be offended. ”

Su Jinyao's brows furrowed when she heard this, and asked, "What does that master look like?" Is it clear-eyed, in his thirties? ”

"yes, yes. However, the master said that he was over ninety years old, and he just asked for an immortal medicine and could look immortal. After Li Mingjue finished speaking, he asked rhetorically: "Miss Liu, do you also know this master?" ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, and said, "I'm talking nonsense." How could I have known such a charlatan? I guess it's your second mother who knows him more clearly. ”

"What?" Li Mingjue frowned when he heard this, looked at the Luo brothers again, and said in a low voice: "Two uncles, this Miss Liu ......"

After all, the Luo brothers are older, in their thirties, and men in their forties are more sensitive to this kind of thing (qíng). What's more, what Su Jinyao said was explicit, and she immediately understood.

However, the Luo brothers didn't expect that Su Jinyao, a little girl, could say such a thing all at once.

Su Jinyao observed the Luo brothers' qíng, looked at Li Mingjue who looked ignorant, and sneered: "I've heard a lot of this kind of bloody drama. Let me ask again, did the master still let your father bathe and change clothes and quit women? In addition, you must sincerely ask for fog and frost, and you must get up in the middle of the night (shēn) down the mountain and come all the way to this side to collect fog and frost? ”

Li Mingjue's eyes became more and more round when he listened, he looked at Su Jinyao, and said in surprise: "Miss Liu, you still said that you are a miracle doctor, and you don't know any masters." What you say is exactly the same as what the master said. ”

"Ahem" this time, even Gu Shangqing couldn't listen to it. He had no choice but to say to the Luo brothers: "Two, I see that this little brother is still inexperienced, and I don't understand the reason. It's better for the two of you to take him back now, and go to the mountain to see what the master is doing, and he should understand. ”

Ron nodded and said to Li Mingjue: "Let's go, you ride with me, let's go back and have a look first, everything is clear." ”

Luo Xiang said to Su Jinyao and Gu Shangqing: "Little junior sister, Gu Gongzi, you can come later." Presumably, the illness of the master of Li Zhai still needs the little junior sister Miaoshou Hui (chūn). ”
