Before entering Ba County, Lan Jing'an also quietly asked Feng Shen to send a few people to Qi Ke and inform Jiang Yutang to take Ying Wei to Bonan Mountain to join her. Since Jiang Yutang's affairs in the southwest were unknown to Xia Guo, Lan Jing'an was especially careful not to let this news be known to Mutu.

She only waited for Jiang Yutang and others to converge, and then found a way to get rid of these details. Lan Jing'an didn't have a good impression of these Xia people. Although they were ordered to protect themselves and helped her many times, they abandoned her and Qingyun's brother in the woods at a critical moment, so it was strange what good impression she had of them.

On the first day of February, Lan Jing'an and the others traveled to Bonan City, which was the last town to enter Bonan Mountain, and then they were about to enter the endless mountain valley.

Sandwiched between Zhoushui and Lancangshui, Bonan Mountain is a famous holy place in the southwest. The mountains stretch, the canyons are steep, and the ice and snow on several majestic peaks do not melt all year round. The Ailao people even called Bonan Mountain a holy mountain, believing that the top of the peak is the dwelling place of immortals, and mortals are not allowed to enter it.

Although the Yongchang County Government of the Xia Kingdom was located in Buwei on the other side of Bonan Mountain, due to the separation of several majestic peaks and Lancang Water, it was impossible to easily reach Buwei from Bonan, and it was necessary to go around in a big circle.

At this time, Xie Weining, who had just set off from Buwei to Bonan, couldn't help but complain to Yin Quan beside him: "What kind of heart do you say this Liu Maung has!" First of all, I set the meeting place in Yuyu, okay, I went. Later, he changed places to Buwei, but when I came, he brought people back to Bonan, so that we had to turn back. ”

He took a breath and said, "This Bonan and Buwei are not far from the map, how to climb the mountain is not finished!" Xie Weining and Yin Quan were not used to this high mountain place, and the two of them were out of breath and miserable all the way. The people who followed them all the way, although they were longer than Yizhou, but such terrain also made them miserable.

Xie Weining couldn't hold it anymore, so he waved his hand and asked everyone to rest in place for a while before continuing to hurry. The mountain path was so narrow that one side was close to the cliff, and Xie Weining tried his best to control his eyes from looking beyond the cliff.

He drank some water, and his spirits finally recovered a little. Sitting on the ground, he remembered the news he had just received in the past two days, and said to Yin Quan in a deep voice: "You say, such a big thing happened, Xia Guo has received the news here, why didn't Lao Du send us a message?" ”

Yin Quan scratched his head, also confused. A month ago, according to Xie Weining's order, he went to Jizhou to inquire about the situation of the great secretary, but it was a whole month and he did not receive any reply. That's not all, he has received news from Xia Guozuo in other places, saying that Xiao Qingyun was injured, but there was no movement at all in Jizhou.

Xie Weining felt very unstable at the moment, and always felt that something big was going to happen. Ever since he knew that Xiao Qingyun was injured, he guessed that his heart hurt that day, it must have been because the ugly girl was worried about Xiao Qingyun, and he breathed a sigh of relief at that time.

Although the ugly girl was fine, Xiao Qingyun's injury made him happy, but he felt that things were not so simple. As the commander of the First Army, Xiao Qingyun must be under layers of protection every day, how can he be easily injured? And it's so decent, how could Lan Jing'an be trapped by Yuwen Moyuan for a year be exposed?

However, once this matter is exposed, people who want to come to the army will never tolerate Xiao Qingyun marrying an ugly girl. No matter how heartbroken the ugly girl is, she has to accept this fact, which saves him business. Now, just wait for him to finish dealing with the matter here, and then go to Jizhou in person and take her away. Since the world can't tolerate her, let him give her happiness.

Xie Weining rested for a while, looked up at the towering peaks, scolded Xie Chengxian and Liu Maung again in his heart, and then ordered to continue the journey.

Biluan, who was in Bonan City, was sighing at this time: "This place is really beautiful!" ”

Bonan City is located between Bonan Mountain and Yuntai Mountain, there is a dam outside the city, a silver river water in the dam is sparkling in the sun, surrounded by mountains, like a paradise. Although it is only February, it is not cold here, and the spring flowers have appeared, facing the sun, and they are blooming.

Looking at the costumes, in addition to the main ethnic group of the local people, the Kunyi people, there are also many other ethnic groups mixed together, although their language is not Biluan, a group of people from the north can understand, but the simple smile on everyone's face really moved Biluan.

Bi Luan couldn't help but say to Lan Jing'an and Feng Shen: "If I choose a place to live in seclusion, I must stay here."

Feng Shen couldn't help but smile: "Miss Biluan, you have already said this once when you passed through Yuyu. ”

Bi Luan also smiled: "Yes." This southwestern place is much more beautiful than I imagined. No wonder there are so many people fighting for it, even though the place is far away. ”

Lan Jing'an corrected: "These people are vying for the southwest, but not because the southwest is beautiful, the southwest is the road to the body poison, and through the body poison, you can even take a detour to rest in peace." Therefore, mastering the southwest is equivalent to getting a way to get rich. ”

Lan Jing'an raised his eyes again and looked at the quiet town surrounded by mountains, and showed a faint smile to Biluan: "I also like this place. Later, maybe the two of us can move here someday. ”

When Bi Luan heard this, although the smile was still on her face, her heart was a spirit. She knew that since the girl was forced by Li Xie to tell what happened back then, although the girl didn't care about it on the surface, she was probably embarrassed in her heart. In addition, the news has been circulated, and I am afraid that the girl is really out of her heart to marry the marshal now.

Lan Jing'an asked Feng Shen in a low voice, "Is there any news from Jiang Yutang?" ”

Feng Shen nodded, confirmed that there was no one around, and whispered, "Medical Officer Jiang sent a message saying that it will be about ten days to get here." Shall we wait for them before we go into the mountains? ”

Lan Jing'an said without hesitation: "Don't wait." This Bonan Mountain looks like a steep mountain, and the place where the holy grass grows is not accessible by horseback, and it is estimated that it will take ten days and half a month to enter the mountain, and we can't afford it. You leave one person waiting for them. Let Jiang Yutang and Ying Wei be on standby here in Bonan, and wait for us to come out and join them. ”

Feng Shen nodded, and asked again: "What about the Mutu?" ”

Lan Jing'an replied: "There are only ten of us now, but the other party has six. You can't control them, so let them keep following. As long as they don't spoil my business, I don't have to worry about it for the time being. Wait until you get back to Bonan and join the shadow guard before you deal with it. ”

Lao Du and the others were also discussing the matter of entering the mountain at this time. They did not see the master in Qiyu, and heard that the master had gone to Buwei to negotiate with Liu Maung. Although it is only eight or nine days away from Wei here, their duty is to protect Lan Jing'an, so they must not leave Lan Jing'an.

Lao Du planned to continue to follow Lan Jing'an into the mountain. Fortunately, the road to the mountains to collect medicine and the road to Buwei coincide halfway, and then only need to separate a person at the fork in the road to report to the master.

Lao Du was also very scheming to hide the news of his master's presence from Lan Jing'an. He didn't know if his master would have other plans if he knew that the Great Priest was in Bonan. He didn't want to startle the snake right now.
