Chapter 745: Detour to Slaughter Jiao
With the map in hand, the Fifth Tingyun and his party quickly drew up a route.
They set out from Shenjing, went west along the foothills of Wanli Mountain, took the official road through Jizhou Province, then passed through Liangzhou in the northwest, bypassed at the foot of Mount Everest, and finally crossed the border from the Zhenbei military camp, that is, the northwest gate of the Yanhua Empire, and entered the northern part of the Yimen Empire, and then successively passed through more than ten large and small empires to reach the border of the Yuanmeng Empire.
This journey is thousands of miles away, no wonder the emperor ordered them to set off months in advance.
The official road is spacious, and although there are many people in the fifth listening cloud, they are not hindered, and their travel speed is still very fast. It was only one day, and they had already arrived in Jizhou Province, and the capital city of Shenjing was already a hundred miles behind. Seeing that it was getting late, everyone had the intention of stopping and resting, the official road was located in a secluded place in the mountains, and there were no households, but fortunately, they were well prepared, and the tent food was everything, so they stopped nearby.
Fifth, Tingyun and Zhou Tieniu went to the vicinity to collect dry firewood and build a fire, and the rest of the people surrounded the fire, each took out the ingredients they carried, and prepared dinner. Although the ten people all knew each other's names, they were actually unfamiliar, and while they sat around, the atmosphere was awkward and silent, and no one spoke.
After Sikong Ming, who was pretending to be a coachman, parked the carriage, sat beside Su Xiao with a loud butt, and said: "I said everyone, we will all depend on each other for more than half a year, you don't need to put on a stinky fart one by one." Everyone is comrades-in-arms, so we need to be closer. ”
Zhu Qi already had a lot of complaints about Sikong Ming's joining, and then snorted coldly: "Who wants to be close to you, a thief, with unclean hands and feet, and bad conduct." According to the ancients, a nest of snakes and rats is in cahoots, who is close to you?"
"Hey, the Mandarin Duck Swordsman is really a big shelf. Hearing Zhu Qi say this, Su Xiaoke was not happy, "Xiao Ming thief also has a way, although he bears the name of stealing, but no one scolds him on the rivers and lakes." It's the two Mandarin Duck swordsmen, the means are average, but the fame is terrifying, who knows if it is a person who sells fame and reputation. Su Wan also smiled slyly, with endless ridicule and contempt.
"Su Xiao, what do you want?" The two women in the team suddenly faced each other, Zhu Qi frowned angrily, pressed the hilt of the sword, and had the intention of drawing the sword out of the sheath to compete.
Su Xiao was very comfortable, rubbing his little hands and said, "I didn't think about anything, but Sister Zhu's liver is very hot, so be careful." Women get angry, but they grow old quickly. ”
"You!" Zhu Qi was even angrier.
But Wan Feijian pressed Zhu Qi's hand and said softly: "Calm down and don't move for things." ”
Zhu Qi obeyed his senior brother's words, snorted, and turned his head.
Fifth, Tingyun also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, got up and wandered around aimlessly, and unconsciously came to the side of the carriage. Standing beside the car, the curiosity about the three iron boxes suddenly surged again, and he boarded the carriage and lifted the curtain to study the iron boxes carefully, but the scene in front of him made him stunned. The two girls snuggled up to each other, asleep in a corner of the carriage, and beside them were three iron boxes placed one after the other.
"Senior Sister Xue...... Lian'er ...... Why are they in the car?"
He was talking to himself, but the movement still woke up the two girls.
Xue Hanlu opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise when he saw the fifth hearing cloud, and then immediately sat up straight and cut his hair bun and skirt. Dai Qinglian was not so particular, she rubbed her sleepy eyes vigorously, and pouted: "Sister Xue, is it dark? ”
Fifth, Tingyun remembered that when he set off in the morning, Chen Shan was in front of the carriage and did not let himself check, which turned out to be a trick to make this "dark Chen Cang". After thinking about it, he looked at Dai Qinglian and said with a smile: "There are extra horses prepared for you outside, and you have to hide in the car and suffer." ”
"Ah, really?" Dai Qinglian was still in a daze, looking like she hadn't woken up, she believed it and said happily, "Fifth brother, if you didn't say it earlier, it made Lian'er feel aggrieved all day." I knew that you would agree to me and Sister Xue to join the team, why do we have to hide in this cramped car. ”
After Xue Hanlu tidied up her hair and long skirt, she simply didn't hide it, pulled up Dai Qinglian's men and got out of the carriage, the two women got out of the car, and the people by the fire were not surprised. Looking at Xiao Mengdie's suffocating laughter, he suddenly sank his face and said, "You don't have a document, how can you cross the border?"
Xue Hanlu stopped, not seeming to have thought about this issue.
Dai Qinglian also blinked her eyes and looked at Xue Hanlu, her eyes were expecting, she always thought that it was right to follow Sister Xue.
The fifth Tingyun said again: "This is already the boundary of Jizhou, and it is the border of Xiaoxiang Province not more than a hundred miles to the south, I think you should go back to the college as soon as possible." He deliberately kept a straight face, although he deliberately meant to tease Xue Hanlu and Dai Qinglian, but in fact, he really hoped that Xue Hanlu could take Dai Qinglian back to the academy, after all, their trip was not a trip to the mountains and rivers, and the Wanguo Yuan Dao Association was like a battlefield, and people would die.
Xue Hanlu was silent, and quietly walked to Chen Shan's side and sat down, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
And Dai Qinglian rolled her eyes, ran to the fifth Tingyun's side, pulled the sleeve of the fifth Tingyun, and said while swaying: "Fifth brother, before going out, my mother said that Lian'er would be entrusted to the fifth brother." Where the fifth brother goes, Lian'er has to be there. Besides, it's been half a year since my mother went home, and there has been no news, Lian'er is worried, Lian'er wants to go home. ”
Fifth, Tingyun looked at the coquettish Dai Qinglian, raised his forehead and asked, "Where is your home?"
Dai Qinglian grinned: "It's in the Yuanmeng Empire, aren't you going to the Yuanmeng capital? As he spoke, he paid attention to the face of the fifth Tingyun, and saw that the tone of the fifth Tingyun was not loose, and he couldn't help but say: "Lian'er is worried about her mother, the fifth brother will take me, Lian'er promises that Lian'er will be absolutely obedient and will not cause trouble." As he spoke, tears appeared in Shui Lingling's eyes, and he wanted to cry, which was moving.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old Dai Qinglian has developed and can no longer be treated as a little girl.
Fifth, hearing Yun's heart, he sighed, and couldn't say anything to refuse.
After seeing the fifth Tingyun nodding, Dai Qinglian smiled, jumped up and ran to Xue Hanlu's side, and said with a smile: "Sister Xue, Senior Brother Chen, the fifth brother agreed, we don't have to go back to the academy." I said that the fifth brother loves Lian'er very much, so the fifth brother will not leave me. ”
The fifth listened to Yun Yan and smiled, and returned to Xiao Mengdie's side.
The bonfire was big, and although it was night, everyone was still roasted warmly.
Thirteen people sat around the fire, and in a moment the smell was overflowing, and everyone's supper was ready.
Under the clear starry sky, crickets and gnats are constantly chirping, and the breeze blows through the forest, and the fragrance of meat and coriander is sent far and wide. While enjoying dinner, they discussed the next hurried questions, and when everyone saw the route planned by the Fifth Tingyun, they couldn't help but have some questions: "We are in the north of Jizhou at this time, and it is not faster to go straight to the Zhenbei military camp in the northwest, why do we have to turn southwest and go around the long road at the southern foot of Mount Everest?"
The fifth Tingyun pondered for a moment, and said: "With our current strength, the situation of participating in the Yuan Dao Association is not optimistic, and Taidao Chuan Feng's group is also going to participate in the Yuan Dao Society, and they are generally the cultivators of the Five Heavens of the Jiedan. That's why I think that on this trip, we not only have to hurry, but we also have to improve ourselves. On my last trip to Mount Everest, I found a deep cave at the southern foot of Mount Everest, in which a three-eyed lava ...... lived."
Speaking of which, his intentions are already obvious.
"You mean we're going to kill him?" asked Chen Shan with some interest.
Fifth Tingyun nodded, waiting for the others to respond. He only talked about the existence of the three-eyed lava Jiao, and did not confess that the biggest reason why he wanted to fight the three-eyed lava Jiao was because Ye Zhiqiu told him that the lava cave contained the fire element essence when they were separated.
Slaughtering the Three Eyes Lava Jiao is only secondary, his real purpose is to seize the Fire System Yuan Essence and cultivate the Nine Yuan Dan Mansion Technique!
