The three-year appointment has arrived, and the two once lively teenagers are three years older, have grown a lot, and have become mature.

On this day, Gai Nie got up early in the morning, washed up, and sorted out, and then left for Qin from the territory of Wei, and he couldn't wait to share a key news with Wei Zhuang that would affect their fate in the future.

When he arrived at the border of Qin and Wei on horseback, he noticed that the sun was shining and his old friend Baima was a little out of breath, so he dragged him to the stream in the woods beside the avenue to drink. He took off his straw hat and revealed his handsome face. Running around in the sun for a long time has turned his complexion into a healthy wheat color. The slender eyes under the high eyebrow bones have insight into the thousands of changes in the world, the firm nose bridge, angular cheeks, and pointed chin make the whole emaciated face look resolute and strong. He leaned against the big tree by the stream, and used his straw hat to shield himself from the sunlight that filtered through the gaps in the leaves. The sun still fell playfully on his obvious collarbone. The slightly erect pectoral muscles under the towering collarbone, the strong arms, and the slender body show the training he has received day and night.

"I don't know how that guy from Weizhuang has been doing in the past three years." Gai Nie looked at the lazy clouds in the sky slowly drifting by, he thought, the last time he saw Wei Zhuang, he looked like a royal prince, he didn't look like he had done much heavy work, tired, and his face was still white and clean, and he looked like he had been imprisoned in the cold palace for too long, and he hadn't been exposed to the wind and sun. What will he become in these three years? Gai Nie's mind appeared like a thin monkey with a red hairband, he sneered, waved his hand to drive away the imagination in his mind, stood up, stroked his mount, and said to it: "Actually, Wei Zhuang is also a person with a strong sense of self-improvement, since he can get out of the cold palace, he will definitely survive until now." ”

The horses nodded obediently, and then continued to drink, while Ganie returned to the shade under the tree to take a nap.

"Help!" A girl's voice.

Gagne awoke suddenly, and looked towards the source of the sound, and he saw a luxurious carriage, and two majestic horses pulled the strange-looking carriage. The carriage looks like a wealthy family's carriage, but if you look closely, there are four delicate bells hanging from the four corners of the roof of the carriage, and the bells will play a lethargic sound when you move the bells. There were four blue flames fluttering around it, and the most strange thing was the two grooms in front of it, their faces were blue and black with silver peaked hats, and although they were pulling the reins, they did not sit on the board of the imperial horse, but floated on it, and were not affected by the hypnotic sound in the slightest.

"Help, help..."The girl's voice grew weaker and weaker.

Gai Nie jumped on the horse: "Drive!" And he galloped towards the carriage.

Gagne realized that his old companion could not catch up with the two fast horses in front of him, and the hypnotic sound of the carriage slowed them down dizzily as soon as they approached. Fortunately, there was a fork in the road that intersected the road, and as long as the carriage kept moving forward, Gagnie could catch the carriage from the fork in the road, but there was an abyss ahead of the intersection, and the driver had to slow down and turn in time to avoid falling into the abyss of cannibalism.

Saving people is important, Gai Nie turned the horse's head to the fork in the road and galloped away.

The carriage had arrived at the junction as expected, and Gagnie, who had just arrived there, leaped to the top of the carriage with the strength of his horse's back.

The sound of the carriage made Ganie feel weak and unable to exert himself, and he struggled to slash the bell on the roof of the carriage, and the strength returned to his body. The two drivers who were driving in front spotted Gagnie, one floated up, the other still driving quickly.

"What the hell are you?" Gai Nie's hand holding the sword broke out in a cold sweat, "Come on!" He frowned as he looked at the man floating in the air.

The man stretched out his hand, and he didn't know what spell he had used, and the palm of his hand glowed blue, making Gai Nie feel as if he had fallen into a glacier: "It's so cold." After a while, he felt his blood freeze and couldn't breathe, and lay straight on the roof of the car. The man saw that he was unconscious, so he collected his strength and came to check, his blue face approached Gai Nie, and he leaned over to feel if Gai Nie was still breathing.

Suddenly, Gay opened his eyes, grabbed the man by the collar, and stabbed him in the chest with a sword, and the man was immediately reduced to ashes. Gai Nie quietly approached the front of the carriage, and while the man who was holding the horse was not paying attention, he sealed his throat with a sword, and the person also turned into ashes, and then the blue flames around the carriage disappeared.

Gai Nie opened the curtain of the carriage and saw a girl in blue, her eyes were a little hazy, she should have been hypnotized by the bells just now, she raised her eyes and saw Gai Nie, and shrank into the carriage, a little confused: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm here to save you." Gagne looked back ahead, and two fast horses, undriven, were pulling them toward the cliff. There was no way to stop the horses, and even if they did, the horses would drag the cart down.

"Quick, give me your hand! I'll pull you out! ”

The girl in blue used the time when Gai Nie turned back just now to calm down, and at this time her eyes flashed with a brave light, and she resolutely stretched out her hand.

Gai Nie took the small, slender hand and pulled her out of the cart, and by this time, the hooves of the fast horse were already hanging in the air, and the carriage was flying towards the abyss.

Gai Nie put his arm around the girl's waist, stepped on the board and flew upwards with all his strength, the carriage was about to fall, and the height of the two of them was not enough! He stepped on the roof of the carriage again and flew towards the edge of the cliff.

This time they flew very high, and when they descended, Gai Nie also saw the appearance of the girl in his arms clearly. She's so beautiful. Her long hair was carefully braided and tied up on her right shoulder, tied up with a purple headband, her curved eyebrows were bright eyes with long eyelashes, her pure black eyes shimmered with a clever light, the pale red on her face looked lovely and charming, her pink lips were petite and warm, her sea-blue clothes wrapped around her slender and well-proportioned figure, and the breeze blew, and she could smell the faint scent of laurel flowers.

They landed firmly on the solid ground on the edge of the cliff, and Ganie was a little fascinated to see it, he had thought that there was no more beautiful woman in the world than his mother, but today he saw one. She's still young, probably only ten years old, I don't know how beautiful she will be when she grows up.

The old man Baima slowly approached them and deliberately roared loudly, and Gai Nie hurriedly let go of the hand around the girl's waist: "I'm sorry." "Prepare to take a few steps back and move away from the girl. However, the girl grabbed his hand, and Gagne felt his heart stop.

"You're hurt."

Gai Nie looked down at his arm that was being pulled, but he didn't notice it just now, and when he jumped for the first time, his arm was cut by a bloody mark from the top corner of the carriage, and it was still bleeding, and he felt a little painful at this time.

The girl dragged him to the woods behind him, and picked some strangely shaped blades of grass in the woods. "This should be the border of Wei! The big cliff on the border of Wei can bury many people, but this forest near the cliff has many precious herbs that can save many people. There are many such wonderful coincidences in the world. ”

It's like I can meet you.

"Borrow your sword." Gai Nie raised her hand and handed the hilt of the sword to the girl, who skillfully sliced the blades, and green juice flowed out, she smeared the juice on Gai Nie's wound, and immediately stopped the bleeding, and covered it with a few other leaves, and then cut a long strip of cloth on her sleeve to bandage Gai Nie's arm.

"This grass is called Xinlan grass, it stops bleeding and heals injuries, and your injuries will be cured in less than a day."

Gai Nie looked down at her bandaging him, and his eyes became gentle: "Thank you." Under Gai Nie, dare to ask the girl's name. ”

"Wang Zihan."

"Thank you, Miss Wang."

The girl smiled: "Just call me Xiaohan." Xiao Han looked up at Gai Nie and said, "Then I can call you Brother Nie?" ”

Ganie smiled and nodded.

"Those scoundrels actually brought me from Qin to Wei." Xiao Han looked angrily at the cliff.

"Doesn't Miss Xiaohan know those strange people?"

Xiao Han shook his head, and then looked at Gai Nie with great interest: "Brother Nie is very interesting, how simple the word 'Xiao Han' is, but I need to add one more 'girl', if you don't say it, everyone knows that I am a girl." ”

Gai Nie blushed a little, but fortunately, Xiao Han turned away and stroked the white horse in understanding, and the white horse warmly accepted her touch, and rubbed her face, and she smiled happily.

"I think they might want to take you farther away," Gai Nie walked to Xiao Han's side, "Xiao Han, since you don't know who they are, why did they kidnap you, and did your family have a feud with someone?" ”

"No, it won't." Xiao Han looked at Gai Nie, "My father and I, my uncle has lived in the Qin Kingdom for many years, my father never asks about political affairs, and my uncle is just a Lang Zhong who saves lives and helps the wounded, so it is impossible to make enemies with anyone."

"Early this morning I set out from home to study medicine at my uncle's place, and I was kidnapped by those two men on the way, and I kept calling for help, and they went very far away, and no one heard me, and the carriage went very fast, and there was a sound that kept enveloping me, and I felt more and more sleepy, and I almost fell asleep."

"You said you were in the Qin Kingdom?"

"That's right."

"That's right, I'm also rushing to Qin State, so I'll give you a ride." Gai Nie said happily.

"Thank you so much." Xiao Han saluted politely. Gai Nie helped Xiao Han onto his horse, and then jumped on the horse himself, and the two of them drove towards the Qin State.

At the same time, Wei Zhuang, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't sit still in the inn, so he went out to look and saw an anxious Lang Zhong standing in the pharmacy opposite the door. Wei Zhuang heard Gai Nie say that this Lang Zhong who had saved him, so he stepped forward to ask him what difficulties he had.

After saluting, Lang Zhong recognized him and returned the salute.

"Your wounds are healed, and you don't have any scars, do you?"

Wei Zhuang nodded and thanked Xie Langzhong.

"I see that you are worried, have you encountered any difficulties?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"My niece should have left to study medicine with me in the morning, and it would have only taken two hours to arrive, but it was already afternoon and she hadn't come yet, so I don't know what happened."

"My friend and I met at the inn over there, and we should have met at noon, but he was a long time late. When he arrives, I will go with him to help you find your niece. Wei Zhuang comforted Lang Zhong.

Lang Zhong's eyes were still full of worry: "I hope both of them can arrive safely." ”

A white horse in the distance caught Wei Zhuang's attention, and when he looked at it, wasn't the young man Gai Nie? However, what attracted Wei Zhuang's eyes was the girl in front of Gai Nie, she was lively and dignified, clever and gentle, and her clothes were not gorgeous but charming.

Gai Nie, this guy, didn't come for so long, it turned out that he went to the hero to save the beauty, and he took pity on the jade. Wei Zhuang thought so in his heart, but his face covered the evil smile in his heart, and he just quietly showed the smile that had fascinated thousands of girls in the palace.

"Niece!" Lang Zhong next to him shouted and walked forward quickly.

"Uncle!" Xiao Han jumped off the horse with agility, which surprised Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang a little. She quickly ran into Lang Zhong's arms.

"Uncle, I'm worried about you."

"It's okay, Xiao Han is fine." Lang Zhong's eyes changed from worry to joy.

"Uncle, it was this Gai Shaoxia who rescued me from the two villains." Xiao Han pulled Lang Zhong towards Gai Nie, who had just jumped off the horse.

"It's you!" Lang Zhong recognized Gai Nie at a glance, "Wait, I want to repay you well." After that, he went back to the pharmacy.

Wei Zhuang, who was standing on the side, cleared his throat to attract everyone's attention.

"Wei Zhuang!" Gai Nie gave Wei Zhuang a big hug, and then carefully studied the smile on his face, "You're so happy to see me!" ”

Xiao Han, who was standing on the side, smiled secretly and also looked at Wei Zhuang carefully. Wei Zhuang was slightly taller than Gai Nie, the two were of similar stature, and a charming smile bloomed on their emaciated faces, Xiao Han didn't use his heart to taste the meaning of this smile, but he seemed to see his heart through Wei Zhuang's blue eyes, and saw the hatred suppressed in his heart.

"This is Wei Zhuang, I told you, he is not an ordinary person," Gai Nie pulled Wei Zhuang forward, "This is Xiao Han." ”

Xiao Han saluted Wei Zhuang very politely, and Wei Zhuang also returned the salute.

"Xiao Han, I think you will call him Second Brother Zhuang in the future."

"Why am I the second brother?" Wei Zhuang hid his smile and looked at Gai Nie with a dissatisfied expression.

"Because I'm the big brother!" Gai Nie's face was furious.

"But I'm older than you!" Wei Zhuang was even more dissatisfied.

Xiao Han smiled as he watched Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie arguing there. At this time, Lang Zhong came out of the pharmacy and took a bag to Gai Nie, who opened it and saw that it was full of silver taels.

"It's not going to be done." Gai Nie returned the bag to Lang Zhong.

"You saved my niece, that's a little bit of my heart."

"No, no, never." Gai Nie still refused, "My niece taught me a lot of herbal knowledge, and I am grateful, I can't ask for this money." ”

Lang Zhong still persuaded him repeatedly, but Gai Nie still refused.

Xiao Han didn't want to embarrass Gai Nie, and said to his uncle: "Uncle, since Gai Shaoxia doesn't want to accept it, don't force him." It's better to do that," she turned to Gagné, "and if you have any problems, come here, and come to my uncle, he will definitely help." ”

"Well, I must help!" Lang Zhong also nodded.

Gai Nie thanked Langzhong, and Langzhong was ready to take Xiaohan back to the pharmacy.

"Xiao Han," Gai Nie stopped Xiao Han, a little embarrassed, but still opened his mouth, "Hmm... Will I ever see you again? ”

"I'll see." Xiao Han smiled at him and left.

I know, I'll see you again.

Gai Nie followed Wei Zhuang back to the inn.

"You guy, it's not shallow." Wei Zhuang looked at Gai Nie with sarcasm.

Gagnie didn't reply, and sat down on the chair next to the square table,

"Look at you like this, you like her." Wei Zhuang crossed his arms and looked at Gai Nie with great interest.

"Don't talk nonsense." Gai Nie said this, but his eyes casually looked at the medicine store opposite.

Wei Zhuang looked at him and smiled.

Embarrassed, Gai Nie wanted to quickly change the subject: "I heard a very important piece of information in Wei State. ”

Wei Zhuang sat down and listened intently.

"Many people in Wei told me that there was once a capable man with excellent swordsmanship in Wei State, who was famous among various countries, and was known as Guiguzi, and then moved his family to Qin State for some reason, and lived in seclusion in a valley in Qin State, which is difficult for anyone to find."

"Guiguzi, that sounds good." Wei Zhuang nodded.

"Guiguzi comes from the Guigu faction, the Guigu faction has a door rule, only two outstanding disciples are recruited at a time, these two disciples have to go through a lot of tests before entering the valley, many teenagers go to find this place, some return in vain, and others never come back."

"It sounds like the story is designed to scare children." Wei Zhuang said with a disdainful face.

"The two disciples who can enter the Ghost Valley, one of them learns vertical swordsmanship, and the other person learns horizontal swordsmanship, vertical and horizontal swords, the two swords, the strength is incompatible, the combination of vertical and horizontal control of the world, and the person who wins in the end will control the fate of the people in the world."

"It's very much to my liking." Wei Zhuang's eyes lit up and he was gearing up, while Gai Nie on the other side looked a little worried.

"Gai Nie, don't worry, let's go find this ghost valley first! As for whether we will meet in the future, or even for the enemy," Wei Zhuang patted Gai Nie's shoulder, "I'll talk about it then." ”

Gai Nie nodded, and the two drank happily.

In fact, they all know very well that the enemy they will face in the future is each other, and the rest is only a matter of time.

That night, they all drank a lot, and finally got so drunk that they fell asleep on the table.
