Cui Xi couldn't answer, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "Nothing." ”

Chen Nian stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." You can help me arrange it, pick two safe people, the key is not to leak the rumors. ”

Cui Xi nodded and sent Chen Nian out.

It was late autumn, and the night in the mountains was already a little cold, so Chen Nian walked slowly all the way, and unconsciously arrived at Chaoyangzi's residence. The door of Chaoyangzi's house was wide open, and people were sorting out the medical case under the lamp, when they heard the footsteps outside the door, they raised their eyes and looked, and when they saw that it was Chennian, they lowered their heads again, but they asked: "Why do you have time to come to me today." ”

Chen Nian smiled, walked in the door, and asked, "What does the Taoist have to eat?" I haven't eaten dinner yet, and I'm going to starve to death. ”

Chaoyang didn't raise his head, but only tapped the table over there with the tip of his pen. Chen Nian passed, took a piece of osmanthus cake from the plate on the table, stuffed it into his mouth, and took another piece in his hand to eat, and then leaned over to Chaoyangzi's bookcase and asked, "What does the Taoist chief write?" ”

She glanced twice, recognized that it was a medical case, and then asked, "Are there many sick people in the village?" ”

"It's fine." Chaoyangzi replied, and then shouted impatiently: "Stay away from my bookcase, don't drop the scumbags on my case." ”

Chen Nian laughed, stuffed the dim sum in his hand into his mouth, slapped his palms again, and sighed unsatisfactorily: "Although Dao Chang's temper is not good, his popularity is not bad, and now you can still eat a piece of dim sum in the village." ”

Hearing this, Chaoyangzi glanced at her with his eyelids raised, and said, "I see that your temper has been much better these days, and you have been meditating and meditating with the old monk." He said and put the brush on the pen holder, and instructed Chen Nian, "Go and move the stool." ”

Chen Nian hurriedly moved a round stool and put it next to the bookcase, and without Chaoyangzi's instructions, he sat down and stretched out his wrist in front of Chaoyangzi. Chaoyangzi put his finger on it, stared for a moment, and unconsciously showed some satisfaction on his face, and said, "Yes, that old monk has some skills." It's just that I don't know why your master doesn't work very well, I see her eating fasting and reciting Buddha all day long, and I can't wait to leave home, but my internal breath is still strong and uncontrollable. ”

Chen Nian withdrew his hand and said, "I also advised Master not to be too obsessed with practicing divine skills. However, the matter of the knot in the heart can only be solved by oneself, and it is useless to be anxious when others look at it. ”

Chaoyangzi nodded slowly and sighed: "Her temper is fierce and aggressive, she has been like this for decades, and she can't change it for a while." Forget it, let her go. ”

Chen Nian was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Dao Chief, I'm going to Jizhou." ”

Chaoyangzi was a little surprised and asked, "What are you going to do there?" ”

"Calculate, calculate a way out for the victims in this mountain." Chen Nian lowered his head, played with his fingertips, and said slowly: "Dao Chief, I actually have some bottomless in my heart, but I am the big boss of this village, everyone is still looking at me, pointing at me, whether I have a bottom or not, I have to make a confident appearance and stride forward." ”

Chaoyangzi looked at her for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Then go forward, if you have to get mine, just open your mouth." ”

"Really." Chen Nian raised his face to look at Chaoyangzi and said with a smile: "The human skin mask that can be disguised, the Taoist will give you a few first,"

Seeing her such a hippie smile, Chaoyangzi was so angry that he wanted to hit her with the medical book on the case, and said angrily: "No, if you want it, whose face do you like, Dao Ye will go and peel it for you now,"

Chen Nian shuddered, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly, "Then forget it." ”

Chaoyangzi glared at her twice, but he still taught her a few tricks to hide her appearance, and took out two small porcelain bottles for her, and said: "The bottle tied with the red rope is **, colorless and tasteless, don't say that you eat it, as long as you drop a few drops on the candle flame, you can flatten people, no matter how powerful your martial arts are, you can't move within twelve hours." The other is the antidote. ”

Chen Nian knew that this was a good thing, so he hurriedly put it in his arms, and asked with a smile on his face, "Is there anything else?" Give it to me too, I'm going to work hard for everyone, don't be stingy. ”

Chaoyangzi couldn't help but glared at her again, and said, "Yes, there is a poison that will die if you touch it, do you want it." ”

Chen Nian thought for a while and said, "That's it." Having said that, she still searched for a lot of pills here in Chaoyangzi, and then went out, walked two steps and turned around, grabbed the door frame and said to Chaoyangzi: "Dao Chief, I really didn't come to you to calculate your things. ”

Chaoyangzi asked angrily: "It's a shame that you haven't calculated, if you calculate again, Dao Ye, can I still leave things behind." ”

Chen Nian lowered his eyes and said softly: "Dao Chief, don't be angry, if I make trouble with you for a while, I will feel that my heart can be warmer, and when I turn around and fight with others, my heart will not be so cold." ”

She is just a ten-year-old girl, but she has to carry the livelihood of tens of thousands of people in the village, Chaoyangzi's heart softened, and he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, who is really angry with your little girl." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, got up and went to the table and brought the plate of osmanthus cake, walked over and stuffed it into Chen Nian's hand, and said, "Go back quickly, don't think so much." Take responsibility when you should take it, and you have to put it down when you should put it down, I really feel tired, then I don't do it, and the Taoist master will take you to travel the world,"

"Hey," Chen Nian replied cheerfully, unceremoniously took the plate, turned around and left. When her figure disappeared outside the courtyard gate, Chaoyangzi came back to his senses, looked at his empty palm, blinked his eyes, and said to himself: "It seems that I have fallen for this girl again......"

On September 21, Chen Nian took Lu Rongfeng's father and daughter to secretly leave Hukou Ridge, and the three of them avoided Feilong, crossed Taihang Mountain directly, and went to Jizhou. Who knew that when people entered Jizhou City, they knew that Xue Shengxian was not in the city. Chen Nian was very surprised and asked Lu Rongfeng: "The news is accurate." ”

Lu Rongfeng replied: "There will be no mistake, that brother is my friend of life and death, and he has been in the Jizhou City Shoufu for more than 20 years, and he is considered an old man." According to him, Xue Shengxian left Jizhou five days ago and went to Qingzhou. ”

"Qingzhou." Chen Nian frowned unconsciously, "Why did Xue Shengxian go to Qingzhou." ”

Qingzhou is in the hands of Xue Shengying, these two brothers have never dealt with each other, how could Xue Shengxian go to Qingzhou. Aren't you afraid of being detained by Xue Shengying.

Lu Rongfeng shook his head, "He doesn't know about this, it seems that Xue Shengxian went secretly, and he didn't say anything." ”

Chen Nian couldn't understand why Xue Shengxian wanted to go to Qingzhou, but the stakes were very high, she still went to the city guard mansion in person at night, but she couldn't find Xue Shengxian, and she went through all the letters, military newspapers and other things in his study, so she believed that Xue Shengxian was indeed not in Jizhou.

"Big boss, what should we do. Is to wait for Xue Shengxian in Jizhou, or go to Qingzhou to find him. The sparrow asked Chen Nian.

Chen Nian pondered silently for a moment, and said: "I found some letters last night, Qingzhou urged Jizhou to ask for grain and grass again, Jizhou is already preparing to transport, if these grains and grass really fall into the hands of Qingzhou, it will be difficult to take it again." I estimate that Xue Shengxian won't be able to come back for a while, so we don't have time to wait here, so it's better to go to Qingzhou to find him. ”

Lu Rongfeng hesitated a little when he heard this, and said, "Go to Qingzhou." Wouldn't it be too risky. ”

The sparrow was the first to say, "Dad, what's so risky about this. Besides, maybe we haven't arrived in Qingzhou yet, and it's better to meet Xue Shengxian back halfway than to wait here stupidly. ”

Chen Nian thought for a while and said: "Zheng Lun is leading the troops outside at the moment, and there is only Xue Shengying in Qingzhou. ”

After the three of them discussed and made up their minds, they immediately left Jizhou to come to Qingzhou, and they were afraid that they would miss Xue Shengxian, so they deliberately changed their outfits and rushed to Qingzhou through Feilong.

Because Zhang Huaimin retreated to Xinye, far away from Qingzhou, Qingzhou City was not as heavily guarded as before. At present, although the exiles are not allowed to enter the city, the merchants and pedestrians who come and go can enter as long as they pay enough money. Chen Nian and the three of Lu's father and daughter mixed into the city, and first found an inconspicuous inn to live in, and then discussed how to find Xue Shengxian.

Lu Rongfeng said: "I don't know if Xue Shengxian came to Qingzhou to hide Xue Shengying, if he didn't hide it, it would be easy to find, if he didn't even hide it from Xue Shengying, it would be difficult to find." ”

Chen Nian thought of someone and said to Lu Rongfeng: "This is easy to say." It's just that I can't come forward, so Uncle Lu has to run for me. You go to the city guard mansion and secretly find a person named Qiu San, and say that I am coming, and ask him to come and see me. ”

"Qiu San. This person is called Qiu San. Lu Rongfeng couldn't help asking.

I don't want to ask Chen Nian all of a sudden, although she has known Qiu San for a long time, she has always been referred to as Qiu San, and I really don't know what his big name is. "I don't think I will call Qiu San anymore, but I don't know what his name is." She thought about it for a while and said, "When you go to the city guard's mansion, you will say that it is Xiaobao's relative, and you have something urgent to find Lord Qiu." ”

Chen Nian described Qiu San's appearance to Lu Rongfeng again, and just said a few words, but Lingque said: "I have seen him, that is, when he was still in Qingfeng Village, this person is in his thirties, and he looks a little thief, isn't it." ”

Chen Nian smiled, thought about Qiu San's appearance, and said that he was not wronged by being a thief, so he smiled and said: "It's him, he has been in Qingfeng Village for a while." ”

"Then I'll look for him." The Sparrow said.

Chen Nian nodded, "It's okay, you and Uncle Lu go together, you two act when you see the opportunity, and safety is the most important thing." ”

Lu Rongfeng and Lingque responded together, and went out of the inn to find Qiu San in the city guard's mansion. It was also a coincidence that the two of them had just arrived outside the city guard's mansion, and they hadn't invited anyone to pass the word, when they happened to meet a few people who looked like generals riding horses back from outside. The spirit sparrow was sharp-eyed, and at a glance, he saw that one of them had thin eyebrows and thin eyes, and his face was oily, it was Qiu San, who had seen a few times in Qingfeng Village, and he was busy and shouted: "Lord Qiu,"

Qiu San had just dismounted, and when he heard someone calling him, he subconsciously followed the prestige, and saw that it was a young girl calling him, and he was a little surprised, and he looked at the sparrow twice, and suddenly recognized her, and was immediately stunned.

Zheng Lun, who was beside him, noticed Qiu San's difference, glanced at Qiu San lightly, and then turned his head to look at the spirit sparrow.

The sparrow looked at Qiu San and didn't respond, so he hurriedly shouted again: "Lord Qiu, I'm Xiaobao's aunt, you don't remember." ”

Qiu San snorted secretly, and said in his heart that Lao Tzu is called Brother Xiaobao, you are Aunt Xiaobao, is it possible to have a generation of Lao Tzu. He was slandering, but he glanced at Zheng Lun beside him, and reacted suddenly, his face immediately showed some impatience, and sighed with him: "Look at it, there are poor relatives looking for this again, you go in first, and when I send them away, this will be over." ”

Zheng Lun didn't say a word, only nodded slightly, and strode towards the mansion with the other people. Qiu San saw them enter the mansion, then walked quickly towards the Lingque and Lu Rongfeng, looked left and right again, saw that no one was paying attention, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you two come?" ”
