Late that night, in the study of Jinlin Garden, Nie Zheng and Jia Xiufang sat opposite each other.

At this moment, Jia Xiufang frowned slightly and said, "Dashuai, have you already sent a message to Wuye Guan today?" ”

Nie Zheng nodded and said: "I have already replied to him, and in the morning, Wu Sanren also asked people to bring a letter over, saying that they would meet at the North City Gate early tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing this, Jia Xiufang said with a worried expression: "Along the way, the handsome must be careful. ”

Nie Zheng said disappreciatively: "I naturally know this. By the way, what I asked you to inquire about in the past two days, can you inquire clearly? ”

Jia Xiufang shook her head and said, "My subordinates have ordered people to ask many local elders in the past few days, and none of them have heard of such a place as Gulongkeng, including some villagers outside the city who have grown up near Yangzhou since childhood, and they don't know either. ”

Nie Zheng frowned and said, "It seems that the ancient dragon pit should be a remote and top-secret place, and it is not near Yangzhou City, otherwise, the local people have no reason not to know." ”

Jia Xiufang lowered her head and thought for a while: "Dashuai, do you want to send some more people to follow you?" ”

Nie Zheng waved his hand and said, "No, if this Wu Sanren really has any conspiracy, it will be useless for us to go to many people, besides, he can't calculate me." By the way, is there any news from the administration? ”

Jia Xiufang said: "Yes, they went to the seven counties to quell the chaos, the progress is very smooth, all the people who gathered to make trouble, and the ruffians who disobeyed the law and discipline were all beheaded and shown to the public, and now, the chaotic situation in the seven counties has begun to settle down, as long as they leave people and horses to guard the law, it will not be long before these seven counties will be able to restore their usual peace." ”

Nie Zheng was very satisfied with the efficiency of governance, and nodded again and again: "This administration, it is really clean and neat, it didn't disappoint me, he should return to the city in a few days, right?" ”

Jia Xiufang nodded and said, "Well, they will go back to the city tomorrow." ”

Speaking of this, he paused, as if remembering something, and continued: "Dashuai, Madame wrote again yesterday. ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are they now, Hongyu?" How long will it take to be able to resist the Yuanjiang River? ”

Jia Xiufang saw that Nie Zheng was so nervous and concerned about Shen Hongyu's matter, and couldn't help but shake her head and smiled: "Madam, they have already entered Yunnan County, as long as they cross Wufeng Mountain, it shouldn't be long before their brigade of chariots and horses can reach the south bank of the Yuan River smoothly." ”

"This is very good, you have to keep in close contact with Hongyu and them during this time, as long as their carriages and horses arrive on the south bank of the Yuan River, we must go to meet them as soon as possible."

"Yes, Marshal."

"Alright, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early. I will leave Yangzhou City early tomorrow morning, and you will have to worry about things in the city at that time. ”

"Subordinates retire!"

Looking at Jia Xiufang's departing back, Nie Zheng pinched his chin and thought about it.

Last time from the mouth of Wu Sanren, when he learned that the place where the dragon python appeared was in the ancient dragon pit, Nie Zheng secretly moved his mind, he wanted to inquire about the specific location of the ancient dragon pit by himself, and then quietly led the people to hunt and kill the dragon python, and he didn't want to go with the unknown Wu Sanren at all.

But judging from the current situation, this plan will not be implemented.

asked Jia Xiufang to inquire everywhere near Yangzhou City for him, inside and outside the entire Yangzhou City, no one knew where the ancient dragon pit was, and there were many locals whose ancestors had taken root in Annan County for generations, and they had never heard of such a place.

It can be seen that the place of Gulongkeng is somewhat mysterious.

It is estimated that except for the Wusan people, others do not know its detailed location at all.

It seems that if you want to hunt and kill the dragon python, you still have to cooperate with Wu Sanren and let him take himself and others there.

Fifty depth charges, against a mere brute, should not be a big problem, although this dragon python is an ancient beast, but under Nie Zheng's modern arms and weapons, it will be the same.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng shook his head and sighed, and slowly went back to his room to rest.

Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Gulongkeng with Wu Sanren, and I must take care of my spirit tonight.

………………

The next morning, before the sky was completely bright, Nie Zheng got up.

At this time, Niu Meng had already led twenty dragon and tiger elites and waited respectfully outside the door.

These twenty dragon and tiger elites were all selected by Xu Shijie from more than 3,000 dragon and tiger troops, and it is said that the martial arts strength of each of them is above the fifth rank, and the strength of several of them has reached the sixth rank of warriors.

With a guard force like this, there is basically no problem in protecting Nie Zheng from going to the Ancient Dragon Pit.

Besides, that Wu San person only has the strength of a mere fourth-grade warrior, and any warrior in it can easily subdue him, so Nie Zheng is not very worried, that Wu San person will play tricks halfway. Even if you play tricks, you won't do it until you kill the dragon python.

But if you really wait until Nie Zheng kills the dragon python, it's good that Wu Sanren doesn't mess around, as long as he has any abnormal behavior, Nie Zheng will not hesitate to kill him.

After putting on his robe, Nie Zheng walked out of the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Niu Meng leading twenty dragon and tiger elites, respectfully bowing his hands. "I've seen the big handsome!"

"Excuse me!"

Nie Zheng glanced at the guards, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Niu Meng, Ma Sandan's gang of snipers, are they ready?" ”

Niu Meng nodded and said, "The five of them have already been prepared, and they are already waiting outside the North City Gate at this time." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Could it be that the Wusan people are already waiting outside the north gate?" ”

Niu Meng replied, "That guy was waiting outside the north gate half an hour ago. ”

Nie Zheng shook his head and smiled, and said, "It seems that this Wusan person is very anxious." ”

"Okay, now that everyone is ready, let's go!"

Nie Zheng waved his hand, and suddenly, under the escort of Niu Meng, the twenty dragon and tiger elites, he went straight to the north city gate.

Soon, Nie Zheng's group of people, riding fast horses, galloped through the city, because it was early in the morning, there were few pedestrians on the streets, so they didn't have to worry about passers-by blocking the road, just run wildly and speed up.

A moment later, Nie Zheng walked out of the city gate, crossed the suspension bridge, and came to the other side of the moat, surrounded by Niu Meng and other guards.

At this time, on the other side of the mist-covered moat, Ma Sandan and other five snipers had already carried sniper rifles and stood respectfully beside their respective horses.

From a distance, Nie Zheng clearly saw that the Wu Sanren wearing a yellow Taoist robe, carrying a green cloth bag, was sitting on horseback, looking towards the city gate from time to time. When he saw Nie Zheng leading the men and horses out of the city, his eyes were happy, and he hurriedly rode his horse to meet him.

"Poor Dao has seen a handsome!"

"Scatter people and be exempt!"

Nie Zheng rode his horse to Wu Sanren, bowed his hand and replied, "Let the Sanren wait for a long time." ”

Wu Sanren smiled slightly, and said: "Don't be polite, this time it was the poor road that asked the big handsome, as long as the big man was willing to agree to help, the poor road waited for a while, and what was it." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded, smiled and waved his hand: "Since we have all arrived, then we have asked someone to lead the way, let's hurry up and set off." ”

"Okay, then lead the way by the poor road, let's go all the way to the west, along the north bank of the Yuan River, all the way up......"

Syllable!!

"Drive!"

I saw Wu Sanren raise his horsewhip suddenly, and suddenly, the yellow horse under his crotch let out a long neigh, and then he opened his four hooves and ran towards the distance as fast as the wind.

Seeing this, Nie Zheng and the others rode their horses and whipped up one after another, and followed closely.

In an instant, on the wilderness outside the North City Gate, dozens of horsemen galloped away, and on the road behind them, smoke and dust rolled up in the sky.

Under the gaze of a group of dragon and tiger soldiers stationed on the defense of the northern city, Nie Zheng and the others disappeared into the wilderness in a moment.

…………

Under the leadership of Wu Sanren, Nie Zheng and other twenty-six horsemen, galloping all the way, it didn't take long to come to the West Wind Plain, at this time, Wu Sanren pointed out a general direction to everyone, and then everyone continued to run in the direction he pointed.

I have to say that the terrain on the north bank of the Yuan River is relatively wide and flat, and it is suitable for horseback riding.

Everyone galloped along the wilderness all the way towards the upper reaches of the Yuan River, and it took about a day to run upward, and the terrain in front of them gradually became rugged.

After the sun went down, Wu Sanren discussed with Nie Zheng that they would rest by the river for the night today and continue on the road early tomorrow morning.

After galloping on a horse for a day, Nie Zheng was already a little overwhelmed, and he deeply agreed with his suggestion.

So, under Nie Zheng's order, Niu Meng and others set up a simple tent for Nie Zheng on the spot, and let the marshal rest in it.

Taking advantage of the gap between everyone setting up tents, Nie Zheng rode his horse and slowly observed around here.

This area should be the border area of Annan County, at least hundreds of miles away from Yangzhou City.

When he arrived here, the flat and wide wilderness had long since ceased to exist, Nie Zheng stood by the river, looked up and looked ahead, only to see the peaks and peaks in front of him, the mountains were continuous, and there were green peaks and green mountains.

The upper reaches of the Yuan River are deep jungle mountains that are extremely rare for people, and it is obvious that the destination that the Wusan people want to take them to is in the deep mountains and old forests.

But where is the ancient dragon pit where the legendary dragon python hides the fierce beast dragon python, where is it in the deep mountains and old forests in front of it?

Nie Zheng had some doubts in his heart, but he couldn't get a specific location, they were wary of Wu Sanren, and similarly, Wu Sanren also had reservations about Nie Zheng and them.

Along the way, he only said that Gulongkeng was in the Cangdele Mountain Range in the upper reaches of the Yuan River, but he didn't say exactly where it was in the Canghuang Mountain Range.

Of course, even if Wu Sanren told Nie Zheng the specific location of their ancient dragon pit, it was estimated that they would not be able to find it in this vast mountain jungle.

Secluded, the place where the dragon python is hiding, is really secluded enough.

It is estimated that except for the Wusan people in this world, few people know where the ancient dragon pit is.

However, what made Nie Zheng curious was where this Wusan man learned that the hiding place of the ancient fierce beast dragon python was probably also seen from a certain classical book.

But judging from his performance of being familiar with the road, Wu Sanren should have been to Gulongkeng before, and more than once, otherwise, he would not be so proficient in the route to Gulongkeng.

Thinking that tomorrow morning, he was going to enter the vast mountain ahead, Nie Zheng was faintly looking forward to it, and he had some inexplicable worries, and he couldn't say what he was worried about.

Maybe it's the reason why the legendary dragon python is too mysterious.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many talented people have risked their lives just to get the legendary dragon python blood egg.

The dragon python is a mysterious ancient beast, it may be a desirable but unattainable divine object for some ordinary warriors, but for some powerful people with supreme cultivation, the dragon python is not only a ferocious ancient beast, but at the same time, it also has a magical anti-heaven effect.

A mere dragon python blood egg can make a warrior with ordinary qualifications, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has the opportunity to enter the nine-rank heavenly rank, if he is already a martial arts master with top strength, if they have a blood egg, it is estimated that their strength will improve again, so that they will have the opportunity to touch the legendary "gate to the other side" of the heavenly way.

The allure of the dragon python is so great that it is simply unstoppable.

Nie Zheng, an ordinary person, after learning about the magic of the dragon python, he was extremely excited, thinking about hunting and killing it, and then using the blood dragon marrow in its body to change his physique, so that he could also turn himself into a martial arts master.

Like those stronger masters, it is estimated that the dragon python is more tempting to them, but without the ultimate strength, no one has the courage to dare to fight the dragon python, because that is undoubtedly sending them to death.

The reason why Nie Zheng rushed to fight the dragon python was because he had something to rely on.

If he was just an ordinary martial artist and didn't have the golden finger of the arms shopping street, it was estimated that the dragon python would lie in front of him, and he would have to turn around and run away.

Now it's different, in the arms shopping street, fifty depth charges have long been prepared, as long as the dragon python dares to show up, it is guaranteed to float up like a dead fish.

Thinking of this, Nie Zheng smiled faintly, and then rode his horse away from the riverbank, preparing to go back to see if Niu Meng's tent had been set up.

Just as he turned the horse's head, he suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and when he turned his head, he found that Wu Sanren had come to the shore at some point.

Nie Zheng rode his horse to Wu Sanren's side, pointed to the deep mountains and jungles in front of him, and asked, "Is the ancient dragon pit that Sanren said in that deserted mountain?" ”

Wu Sanren nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, tomorrow we will enter the mountain, as long as we travel through the mountains and forests for five days, we can reach the ancient dragon pit." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng said quietly: "Sanren has been to Gulongkeng before? ”

Wu Sanren turned his head and glanced at Nie Zheng, sighed softly, and said: "I've been there a few times, and I've seen the dragon python born with my own eyes, but at that time, Poor Dao only dared to watch from afar, and didn't dare to approach at all, because the aura and coercion it exuded were too terrifying." This is a once-in-a-century total solar eclipse, it will be born this time, it will be much weaker than usual, as long as the handsome use those firearms that turn the river and the sea overturned, it will be able to make it unable to swallow the blood eggs with peace of mind, when the time comes, as long as the eclipse passes, it will definitely escape into the ground, we just need to send someone down to pick up the blood eggs. ”

Nie Zheng lowered his head and muttered for a moment, and then said: "Those firearms of mine are extremely powerful, I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will shatter those bloody eggs, so I have to go back empty-handed?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Sanren shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about this handsome, dragon python blood eggs are the most flexible things in the world, they will only be shaken away, but they cannot be shattered, you will understand when the time comes." ”

Seeing that he said that the blood egg was so magical, Nie Zheng was very surprised, "Hearing Sanren say this, I am becoming more and more curious about the dragon python, I really want to see it soon." ”

Hearing this, a subtle glint flashed in Wu Sanren's eyes, and he muttered, "You will soon see its magic, and you will definitely not be disappointed......
