It rained lightly for two days in the past two days, and today it finally cleared, but the bluestone road in Liangzhou City still looked quiet and cold.

The last traces of summer seemed to have been washed away by one rain after another, and the clothes of the people on the road were obviously thicker, and the footsteps were hurried, without the leisure and leisure of the previous period.

Yan Lu, who was wearing a short shirt on his upper body and thicker clothes on his outside, hurriedly ran over such a smooth path, his shoulders and back were tense, for fear that if his feet slipped, he would fall and fall to the ground.

When passing by the Zhang's Inn in Beicheng, I subconsciously looked at the door and saw the first floor of the inn, the shopkeeper who was related to him was worried, lying on the wooden table, bored, that is, the thick chin seemed to have been reduced a lot, from three layers to two layers.

It's no wonder that Zhang's Inn walked a lot of guests two days ago, and the entire inn lost six or seven percent of its income, empty, and there was no money in the account, no wonder the shopkeeper who had always been concerned about money would be so depressed.

Yan Lu didn't stop, he just shouted at the shopkeeper, so he didn't have to go back and be taught a lesson by the elders in the family, so he continued to run over.

He works for a living in this Liangzhou City, and occasionally takes on some casual work, today is for a merchant who is about to open, to inform other guests living in the city, and in less than half an hour, the merchant will be out of the city, please go early, go too late, but can not wait, when the time has been paid in advance of the silver can not be returned.

He couldn't help but recall the appearance of the caravan leader, the figure of the people of Jiannan Dao was a little short compared to the northern land of Great Qin and the Central Plains, but it was the tall man of the Central Plains, and he was a head smaller in front of the leader.

He is sixteen or seventeen years old this year, and in front of that big man, he is no different from a child running around, and there is a sense of oppression in his face, which makes him feel a little sore when he speaks, and his voice is more like squeezing out of his throat, revealing a weak breath that can't be shaken off.

After all, it's a ruthless person who wants to go outside the territory to earn silver......

Yan Lu muttered with a little envy, Daqin went to the outside to earn silver, as long as he can come back alive, it is almost a profitable business, and the most ordinary ceramics can be exchanged for those fine furs, jerky, and some medicinal herbs that are rare in the Central Plains.

It's just that the outside is too dangerous compared to the inside of Great Qin, and the size of a country that may not be comparable to a county in Great Qin is fighting and robbing around, and it is said that there is also the name of the desert and sand thieves, even he has heard of it.

It's all about pinning your head to your waistband and going out to earn your life.

Yan Lu sighed, feeling that at this time he could finally understand that the tall leader's outfit, especially in his waist, there was also a horizontal knife inserted in the scabbard, the Great Qin iron weapon was not allowed to flow out, and a Great Qin horizontal knife in his hand was an invisible deterrent outside the territory.

If you can have a horizontal knife in your hand......

Yan Lu's cranky thoughts were directly shattered by a high-pitched hissing voice, and this somewhat thin young man was directly frightened, his face turned pale, and a heart almost jumped out of his throat.

It's a pity that he has never been out of Liangzhou City, and the farthest is just to go around the village under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, where have he heard such a terrifying sound?

It hardly looked like something from the world, high and sharp, as if weapons were colliding, as if only the evil beasts and monsters that could only be found in the story of the spirit and the strange suddenly came to this city.

Yan Lu only noticed at this time that he had inadvertently run to the place where the last guest lived, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and his heartbeat was so fast that he calmed down.

Looking at the quiet courtyard in front of him, he almost had an urge to run immediately, but the tall and mighty caravan leader with a big beard and the promised copper coins made him suppress his fear, swallowed his saliva, and moved forward slowly, then raised his hand tremblingly and knocked on the wooden door.

", bother ......"

He didn't expect that the wooden door was actually not closed, but only half-hidden, and now he was actually so frightened that his wrists were shaking all the time, and he couldn't control his strength at all, so the door actually swiped directly inside.

Yan Lu's heartbeat almost stopped, this yard is a very ordinary and common house, because the place is not one of those prosperous and expensive markets, so the yard covers a relatively large area, and some land is cultivated on one side, vegetables are grown, and many red and bright peppers are produced.

Yan Lu's gaze was in it, this courtyard was clearly very large, but his eyes were almost completely occupied by another figure.

Black.

The pure black was reflected in his eyes, although the person in the courtyard was tall, but he was not as bold as the bearded man who dared to go to the Western Regions, but he didn't know why, when he first looked at it, Yan Lu only felt that he almost stopped breathing.

If that beard feels like a wall to him, then the person in front of him who can only see his back is simply the rumored Kunlun Mountain, and it is also the Kunlun Mountain with a lot of wind and snow and a dark sky.

Yan Lu's face was pale, his legs and stomach were a little weak, and he was almost about to sit down and fall to the ground along the crack in the door, and at this time, the people in the courtyard seemed to find him, turned sideways, looked at him and said:

"Are you ......?"

The illusion of seeing the furious Kunlun Mountain pressing in front of him disappeared, Yan Lu shook his head, and finally returned to normal, and also saw that he was putting so much pressure on himself, in fact, he was just a young man in his twenties, with a cold and resolute face, but he was not a scary character, and his voice was even calmer, where was there any anger?

I think I felt that just now, but I was scared because I heard that voice coming from nowhere, right?

Yan Lu comforted himself, and then explained the purpose of his coming here, the young man bowed slightly, and said:

"Okay."

"Thank you."

Hearing such an answer, Yan Lu's heart finally settled down, and said with a smile:

"Then you must remember, don't miss the time, there is still about half an hour."

"I'll go first."

Yan Lu turned around and came out, sighed, turned around and looked at the courtyard, he had just seen the mounts in this courtyard, and suddenly felt that this young man might be the same as his own idea just now, and planned to try his luck outside the territory to join this desperate guy.

Not even a good horse......

In any case, the red horse is too thin, and what should I do if I encounter a sand thief?

Yan Lu shook his head and sighed, the cold wind poured into his neck, shivered, and remembered the hiss he heard when he came here just now, his face turned pale, he didn't dare to stay here any longer, and walked out of the alley quickly.

It had rained a few days ago, and the ground was slippery, and because the ground was a little higher, the wooden door swayed and slid down in a creaking sound, separating the courtyard from the faint and cold road outside.

The corners of the mouth of the young man in black clothes in the courtyard with a calm expression suddenly twitched, and he raised his hand violently, viciously grabbed the neck of the mount in front of him, and pulled it towards him.

The five fingers of his right hand opened, and the flowing fire exploded with a snap, forming a flame-like unicorn head, and the high temperature instantly scorched the air to distortion.

The thin red horse neighed, snorted, and stared at the young man in front of him, snorting from his mouth.

Wang Anfeng's face was expressionless, and the flame in his right hand approached.

"Outside, listen to me."

"Understood?!"

The thin horse was grabbed by the neck, but he still tried his best to lean back, and a pair of eyeballs slid backwards, revealing a large whites of his eyes underneath, revealing a very human expression of disdain.

Then there was another long hiss.
