Spring in the north of the Yangtze River always comes much later than in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not until the beginning of March that the streams of Taihang Mountain gradually become abundant. A touch of tender green first came through the cracks in the rocks of the mountain stream, and quietly spread up the slopes on both sides, but in a few days, it actually stained the whole valley. As far as the eye can see, the eyes are full of deep shades of green.

Ye Xiaoqi leaned on a huge mountain rock, bored and gently picked the young grass that had just sprouted on the ground with the tip of his knife, and asked Chen Nian beside him in a low voice: "Little Fourth Master, is the news accurate?" Are you sure they'll take this path? ”

Chen Nian had a grass tip in his mouth, and he didn't respond, just staring intently at Taniguchi in the distance, and nodded slowly.

Ye Xiaoqi was an uncontrollable character, so he easily held back for a while, and then couldn't help whispering: "Chen Nian, I didn't say it, you really shouldn't have come to get this deal." I've heard that there are officers and soldiers secretly protecting it, and I guess it's not a small one. I don't know if this fat is not fat, but it is hard enough, but it catches up with Mu Ye's absence, just us people, don't break your teeth again. ”

Chen Nian was already a little guilty in his heart, and he was even more irritable when he heard him say this, so he glanced at him angrily and asked, "Can you rest that mouth for a while?" ”

Ye Xiaoqi stopped talking at this time, but in a blink of an eye, he saw He Er, who was hiding not far away, cautiously leaning out, stretching his neck and looking down. Ye Xiaoqi found the source with a little unhappiness in his heart, raised his arm and pointed at He Er with a knife, and scolded in a low voice: "Look at your mother's view? After a while, people will see the flaws, and Lao Tzu will kill you. ”

He Er has always been cowardly, and when he was scolded by Ye Xiaoqi, he was so frightened that he quickly retracted his body and disappeared behind the mountain rocks.

Ye Xiaoqi still refused to give up here, he was scolding and scolding in his mouth, but Chen Nian next to him suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, it's coming!" ”

Ye Xiaoqi hurriedly closed his mouth and turned his head to look at the other side of the valley. Then he saw two light horsemen galloping in from the mouth of the valley, and they turned around the valley, and then left one at the exit on that side, and the other rode back along the same road.

After a while, although there was no human figure in sight, the sound of gurgling wheels could be faintly heard, mixed with the sound of clattering horses' hooves, from far and near. The voice echoed through the valley, growing louder and clearer. After a few more moments, you can see a team of men and horses escorting several carriages, entering the valley without hurrying.

At the head was a young man on a rouge horse, surrounded by several sturdy knights, who walked slowly along the winding mountain road by the stream. Several wagons were sandwiched in the middle of the line, and finally the carts full of goods.

Ye Xiaoqi's eyes were poisonous, he looked at it carefully for a moment, quietly came to Chen Nian's side, and said in a low voice: "You see that those who ride horses, although they are dressed differently, but the saddle and stirrup are all the same, and they are clearly the standard in the army. From this point of view, it's really an escort of officers and soldiers, so we can't do it? ”

He was muttering in Chennian's ear, but the young man at the bottom of the valley suddenly stopped his horse and looked up at Chennian's hideout.

Chen Nian was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously pulled Ye Xiaoqifu to lower his body, and at the same time secretly surprised in his heart, how could this person be so alert? With such a distance, could it be that he could still hear his own voice here? She thought about it for a moment, and secretly made a secret signal behind her, signaling everyone to hold their troops first.

Ye Xiaoqi opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he was slapped by Chen Nian, and he was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Chen Nian snorted coldly from his nose, hid his figure by the mountain stone, and quietly touched another hidden place five or six feet away. The vegetation in that place grew more luxuriantly, covering Chen Nian's already thin body. She tore away the green weeds in front of her, and looked again into the valley, where she saw that the young man was still looking around with his head up, but his eyes did not fall on her hiding place again.

Chen Nian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

On the mountain road at the bottom of the valley, a guard rode close to the young man's side and asked respectfully, "Lord Shizi, is there anything wrong?" ”

The young man only smiled faintly when he heard this, his eyes were still on the cliff slopes on both sides of the valley, but he said in a non-answerable manner: "The scenery in Taihang Mountain is really completely different from that of Jiangnan, the mountains are not soft and the water is not charming, but it has its own wanton freedom. ”

As he was talking, someone came forward from behind and said, "Lord Shizi, Miss Biao asked why she suddenly stopped, but what is the matter?" ”

The young man turned to look and saw a little maid poking out of the carriage in the middle of the procession, still looking this way. He smiled, turned his horse, and walked over to the carriage.

The little maid was looking forward with the curtain of the car, and when she saw that the young man was riding her horse around, she let out a low "oops" in her mouth, and suddenly retracted into the car, and shouted busily: "Miss! Miss! The prince is coming this way! ”

While speaking, the young man had already arrived in front of the car, pretending not to notice the movement in the carriage, and only asked with a smile: "Can't sit still again?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain on the side wall of the carriage was lifted from the inside, revealing a girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking at the young man with a flattering face, and begging: "Good cousin, let me go out to breathe again, after sitting in the car for more than half a day, I will suffocate to death." ”

The young man was unmoved, shook his head with a smile, and refused: "The terrain here is dangerous, and it is a place infested by mountain bandits, so you have to go there earlier to feel at ease." When you get out of this valley, you can come out again. ”

When the girl heard this, her face immediately fell, and she muttered dissatisfiedly: "Cousin, I have done my best, since I entered this Flying Dragon, one valley after another, either into the valley or out of the valley!" People say that the scenery of the hundred miles of flying dragons is beautiful, but I am sorry that I walked in vain, and I actually took a car! ”

The girl peeked at the young man's face as she spoke, and saw that the young man had a smile on his face all the time, as if he was listening to his words very intently, so she changed her tone again and said coquettishly: "Cousin, you can tell me to go out and ride a horse for a while." To avoid being ridiculed by Xian'er in Jizhou, when she went to Taixing, she also specifically mentioned to me the scenery of Feilong, saying that she was riding a horse and passed Feilong. ”

With a light smile on the corner of the young man's mouth, he said calmly: "That time, General Xue brought a thousand soldiers with him, and the situation was naturally different from ours. ”

The girl was speechless when she heard this, and fell off the curtain of the car in anger. When the young man saw her like this, he smiled helplessly, and rode his horse to the front of the group. On the steep slope, Chen Nian was already a little impatient to wait, and Ye Xiaoqi chased after her again and asked her what to do. Chen Nian looked at the guards on the horses, and then at the fully loaded carts behind, and after a little hesitation, the greed in his heart finally suppressed that timidity.
