The moonlight was hazy, the night breeze was slightly cool, there were a few stars scattered in the sky, and crickets were faintly chirping in the woods. By the light of the moon, they walked cautiously on the mountain path.

As long as they climbed over two mountains, they could reach the boundary of Dongyan.

The decision was made in such a hurry that Shen Ji didn't even explain too much to Yun Huang, only saying that those people would cause them trouble, and Qiluo Mountain was no longer safe.

But at this moment, even though it is night, there are also formations on the mountain, and all the way down the mountain road, it is inevitable that you may encounter them.

Sure enough, the two of them saw a bonfire in the distance when they walked halfway up the mountain, and Yun Huang found that in addition to the people they saw during the day, there were even half more people. They gathered around as if they were discussing something, but they were too far away to hear clearly. Shen Ji didn't want to cause more trouble, so he pulled Yun Huang to walk from the other side, wanting to avoid this group of people.

Unfortunately, it was too dark in the woods, and Yun Huang accidentally stepped on the rattan on the ground and fell, but fortunately, Shen Ji hurriedly helped her, but this fall attracted the attention of Russell and his party, and soon three or four people came over with torches. Now there is no way to avoid it, Yun Huang has an idea, squatted down, pouted, and learned from the tiger to bark, those people heard it, alert, and did not dare to move, Yun Huang took advantage of this moment, took out a string of colorful bells from his arms and shook it gently, the mountains and forests were suddenly full of fog, and Yun Huang dragged Shen Ji to escape down the mountain.

As soon as he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Ji broke away from him, with an angry expression, "Yun Huang, didn't I say that you must not use witchcraft without permission, the witch clan has long ceased to exist!" ”

"But master, I can't help it when I'm in a hurry." She tugged at the corner of Shen Ji's clothes, so aggrieved that she almost cried.

Shen Ji was about to speak again, but Yun Huang suddenly pointed to the woods and said, "Master, look." ”

Following her gaze, there were several fireflies flying in the air.

In the distance is a vast expanse, the valley is secluded, there is no light at all, and they have to go over two more mountains, Yun Huang's eyes turned, stretched out his hand, and one flew in her palm in the firefly, she lowered her head, and I don't know what to say to the little insect, the firefly flew out, and after a while, a large group of light points approached this side, shrouded around them, although the light was still relatively weak, but it was enough to illuminate all around them. Yun Huang smiled happily, raised his hand and turned in a circle, "Master, look, someone has shown us the way." ”

Shen Ji wanted to talk about her, but seeing her so happy, he couldn't bear it, in the end, Yunhuang Qizhi was too late, and now this age is only equivalent to a seven or eight-year-old child.

The road was so rough that they climbed to the top of the second mountain until dawn, and when they reached the top of the mountain, they saw the sunrise, and a few gauzy red clouds floated in the sky, which covered half of the red sun, like a half-hidden shy woman. In the daylight, the scattered houses and trees are dyed with a layer of dusk color, which looks a little poetic. Dongyan is in the east, and the sunlight is shining in the face, which makes people feel a burst of warmth.

Yun Huang blinked her eyes, her pupils reflected the grand scene of Dong Yan, her face was not a trace of tiredness, but full of brilliance, "Master, is that Dong Yan?" It's beautiful! ”

"Of course, the country of Dongyan belongs to the descendants of the gods, this land is blessed by the gods, and it is also the richest and most powerful country in the world."

After a long journey, they were already covered in wind and frost, so they found a post house and hurriedly took care of it, Shen Ji bought two horses, bought some food, didn't care about staying, and hurried away with Yunhuang.

From Dancheng to Yicheng, no one was found to follow him all the way, Shen Ji breathed a sigh of relief, slowed down his pace, and stayed in Yicheng for a few more hours. Yicheng is located on the border of Dongyan, and it is also the place where Dongyan communicates with the other two countries, so it is naturally considered a wealthy party. There are many shops on the street, people come and go, Shen Ji is a person who has seen the world, I don't know how much I have seen in this prosperous place, so I naturally don't feel anything. Yun Huang shuttled through the crowd, but he felt that everything was strange, and pulled Shen Ji's sleeve and asked this and that.

He was so happy to see Yun Huang, so he had to let her, think about it, he once told her how beautiful it was outside, but after leaving Yun Huang, he took her to hide in the mountains and forests, and he owed her.

What he didn't expect was that at this moment of stay in Yicheng, someone would recognize him.

At this time, it was already night, the lights were on, Yun Huang fell in love with a colorful clay figure on the stall, and shouted for Shen Ji to buy it for her, but suddenly a few big men in the shape of a few men somehow bumped into them, and washed them away, and when he came back to his senses, Yun Huang and he had been separated in the sea of people, and then a man covered Yun Huang's mouth from behind and dragged her away, she stared at Shen Ji with a pair of eyes, but she couldn't speak.

This change was too sudden, and Shen Ji wanted to come to the rescue, but he was separated by the crowd, and the whip was out of reach. At this moment, another hand suddenly grabbed him, and as soon as he raised his eyes, before he could see the man's face, a hand knife slashed at him. Shen Ji quickly squatted down, and the other hand blocked the hand, the strength of the man's hand was very strong, Shen Ji only felt a sharp pain in his palm, but he quickly held the hand back, twisted it suddenly, and turned the hand in a different direction, the man's hand was painful, but he was held tightly by Shen Ji and couldn't withdraw. He used his other hand to do a boxing blow, Shen Ji was on the side of his body, and pushed the hand in his palm back hard, and the man stumbled and almost fell. Apparently he didn't expect this to be the result, so he stepped back and rubbed his red and swollen left hand.

Shen Ji saw his appearance clearly, the man was dressed in a light cyan robe, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, he was a handsome young man, standing tall, and he looked like he was only in his early twenties, but he didn't know what grievances he had with him. The man withdrew and did not attack again, but turned and ran backwards. Shen Ji was puzzled, and also followed, the man was very good, his body was weird, and his speed was so fast that Shen Ji almost couldn't catch up, ran through the bazaar, and turned into a deep alley, but the person suddenly disappeared.

Shen Ji looked around, but he couldn't see a person, and he was wondering where the person had gone, when suddenly a strong wind came from all directions, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen figures had arrived in front of him, they were holding long swords, and they were violent, and they quickly besieged Shen Ji.

It seems that these people should be from the rivers and lakes, and what Shen Ji can conclude is that, at least on the surface, they have little to do with Russell and his party who met in Qiluo Mountain. However, he has never had anything to do with the rivers and lakes.

At a glance, there were ten people in total. Ten long swords stabbed out at the same time, breaking through the air, as fast as thunder and lightning, Shen Ji had no weapon in his hand, but at this moment the sword was in front of him, so he had to hurriedly pull out his feet and turn over, ten people at the same time swept up, the sword body in his hand flew over, and for a while, the martial arts of these ten people were not high, but they were consistent in their body method, the same speed, and even the height and body size were not much different, and they were extremely tacitly coordinated, just like a person divided into countless bodies. Shen Ji's body folded back in the air and passed by the sword, and at the same time he suddenly pushed his left hand out and slapped it on the chest of the person behind him, while his right hand hooked the point at the wrist bone of the person on the left, but the two of them felt that the pain in their chest and wrist was too late to react, and Shen Ji had already turned over and stood up with that palm and fell back to the ground a few feet. Everyone's reaction was not bad, and as soon as the formation volleyed in the air, it immediately staggered, like an ink-colored poppy blooming in the night sky. Shen Ji stood firm on tiptoe, the sword blade came head-on, his feet were slightly wrong, and he split a sword with his palm, and a sword came again, so repeatedly, overwhelmed.

Shen Ji was worried about the cloud famine, and he didn't want to fight, but these people pestered him too tightly, scattered and gathered, like ghosts, and the speed was so fast that he couldn't get out of trouble at all. Shen Ji had nothing to do, and the palm that hit out was like hitting in the soft wind, which had no effect at all. If it goes on like this, I don't know when we will see it.

He also saw that those people seemed to be fierce, but they didn't intend to hurt him, but just trapped him here, somehow. He had long lost patience, and when the sword was swung in front of him, he suddenly stood up to meet him, and the man was surprised and hurriedly withdrew, but the blade was very sharp, and there was still a bloody mark. He turned around, grabbed the man's half-withdrawn hand, and pulled it forward, the man almost fell to the ground, and Shen Ji slapped him in the chest again, pushing him out.

But it didn't have any effect, and the rest of the people quickly changed their moves when they saw the situation, forming a new formation, and in the blink of an eye, the sword light was forced to come to their eyes again. He jerked his body short, and at the same time kicked out, kicking a man in the abdomen, and the man fell back a little in pain, and he kicked out several more times, and the man finally fell to the ground. However, every time someone withdrew, the rest of the people would form a new formation, and so on, and the circle besieging him became smaller and smaller. He sighed, simply gave up resistance, and stood still. When the men saw that he did not move, they looked left and right, and the swords they stabbed out stopped. It seems that they not only did not want to hurt him, but they also did not dare to hurt him. But if he only takes one step, they will attack again.

"I don't know what grievances I have with you, but I bother you to force each other like this?" He asked.

"It's not a grudge, it's just a matter of being entrusted." A cold voice came from a distance, and Shen Ji raised his eyes to see the man in green clothes before coming up with a few people and tying up a woman, it was Yun Huang!

Yun Huang struggled hard and shouted, "Let go of me!" Let me go! But she couldn't break free, as soon as she saw Shen Ji, her eyes lit up, and she shouted loudly, "Master, save me!" ”

When Shen Ji heard Yun Huang's voice, he was furious in his heart, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he used his internal force, slashed out with one palm, and hit one of them, just as he was about to take advantage of this gap to get out, and the circle became smaller again. He flicked his sleeves and stood in the crowd with a solemn expression, looking at the man in green clothes and scolding angrily: "Who are you?!" ”

The man in Tsing Yi looked frank and waved his hand at him, "In Xia Chuxun, I have been waiting for Mr. for a long time." ”

"Chu Xun? I don't know. Shen Ji was disdainful.

Chu Xun said: "Mr. has been in the world for many years, and it is natural that he doesn't recognize me. ”

"For whom do you die? Dongyan? Yin Xia? Liucang? Or something else? What's the matter with me? "I asked a lot.

Chu Xun smiled shallowly, "Mr. is too worried, he is just a person in the rivers and lakes, and he has nothing to do with the imperial court." Waiting for Mr. in Yicheng this time is just a favor for a friend. ”

"Who is that friend of yours?"

"I can't say this." Chu Xun touched his nose and said, "But don't worry, sir, I will never hurt you, all I have to do is to ask Mr. to come to the house and sit down, waiting for my friend to come." But I also know that Mr. will definitely not agree, so I used such a method, and I ask for your forgiveness. He said very humbly, as if he really just wanted to invite Shen Ji to sit down.

"How can I trust you?"

"You don't have to believe me." Chu Xun said, "Whether you believe it or not, I will take you away today." ”

Shen Ji sneered, "What kind of hospitality is this Gongzi Chu, first soldier and then salute?" Are you planning to use Yunhuang to blackmail me and force me to submit? ”

"Exactly." Chu Xun said calmly, "I originally thought that Mr. is such a genius, it is really not easy to keep you on this errand, but who really thinks that there is a little apprentice by your side, this is easy to do." ”

"Despicable!" Shen Ji glared at him angrily.

Chu Xun was still smiling, "What do you call her?" Cloud famine? The gentleman chose this name for her, I don't know if it was to remember the deceased or because he felt guilty? Or both? ”

"You ......" Shen Ji looked at Chu Xun with a solemn expression, thinking that he knew so many things about himself, he was by no means an ordinary person from the rivers and lakes, even if he took the cloud desolation to kill at this time, he might not be able to escape from Yicheng, "Listen to the tone of the son, I don't promise you?" ”

Chu Xun smiled even more, "Chu never does something that he is not sure of. Of course, if Mr. Ruo thinks that he can fight with me regardless of this girl's life or death, it is not without a chance of winning. ”

Shen Ji dusted his sleeves, "I'm afraid that this city is already full of your people, and I can't escape if I want to?" ”

The corners of Chu Xun's mouth curled, expressing his approval, and then arched his hand and said: "Mr. has been tired all the way, I have already prepared the carriage and horses, please come with me." As soon as he waved, someone drove two carriages over.
