The border of the country of ridicule

Firecrackers slipped out of the inn early in the morning, along the north of Pingguo County, and inquired about the largest pharmacy in the north, Jiweitang.

"Girl, do you want to see a doctor or buy medicine?"

The white-bearded old man sitting in the hall was looking inside as he looked at the firecrackers.

"Trouble, I want to find a master named Tang Du."

"What's the matter with the girl?" The old man asked.

"I have something very important to ......"

Firecracker took out the purse that Huai Gongzi gave her and held it in his hand.

When the old man saw the purse, his face changed slightly, and he said, "Girl, please wait a moment, I will call him out." ”

"Thank you ......"

After a while, the curtain in the back hall was lifted, and a strong man with a full beard walked out.

"Who's looking for me?"

It seems that this person is Tang Jue.

"It's me......" Firecracker hurriedly stepped forward.

"The girl is ......."

Firecracker raised his purse: "It's a son who asked me to come here to find you." ”

"Oh?" Tang Jue took the purse and stuffed it into his sleeve without looking at it.

"Girl, please."

"I came this time to go to the swamp near Yihai Lake to pick grass."

"Bian Wronged Grass? Is the girl alone? ”

Tang Jue asked in surprise.

"I have a few friends, but I'm not going to risk them."

"Alas! The last time I went to Yihai Lake was seven years ago, but it was a sudden rainstorm that day.

The girl has thought about it, she must pick the grass? ”

"Hmmm! I came all the way from the Imperial City to pick it. ”

Firecracker nodded firmly.

"Tut-tut, this happened, I can't explain it, after all, it was Gongzi who asked you to find me."

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, you won't be held half responsible......"

"What else did Childe say to the girl?"

"He told me to ask you for help, and you will help me then......"

"It's no problem to help the girl, but there has been a war on the border of Kunjiang recently, and it is barren on weekdays, and no one cares about us crossing the border.

However, when I heard about the Xunche riot, the military camps were stationed in the south. ”

"Riots? When will that end? ”

"It's hard to say, if they don't attack, it's not impossible to drag on for ten days and a half months."

"Ten days and a half moon?"

Ten days and a half later, aren't the two ladies all rancid?

"If it is inconvenient for Mr. to go with me, can you show me the way, it is urgent, I can't wait that long."

"Alas!" Tang Jue sighed a few times: "Since the son has confessed, I will definitely take the girl there, but if the situation is not good,

Girl, please make sure not to stay in the swamp, it is important to save your life first! ”

"Yes! I will! Firecracker nodded repeatedly.

"Then I'll come back to you in an hour, please prepare first."

"Okay......" Tang Jue nodded hesitantly.

After the firecrackers left, the old man came out of the back hall: "What's the matter?" Is there anything wrong with Xi Yan? ”

"It's a fart, I think my son is so idle, arrange such a thing for me, and I have to take care of a little girl......"

Tang Jue pursed his lips, looking very dissatisfied.

"Alas!" The old man shook his head when he heard this: "Childe hasn't sent any news back recently, I really don't know what the situation is over there." ”

"Wait a minute! What's the hurry? Tang Jue picked up a bottle of plaster on the table, lifted the curtain and returned to the back hall, he needed to hurry up and prepare.

Firecrackers returned to the inn and saw that the Feng brothers had gathered downstairs and were preparing to have breakfast.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have come just in time, I have something to discuss with you."

"Girl, please speak!" Feng Jian stood up, trying to give her his place.

"No need, I've already eaten ......"

Firecracker declined his kindness.

"I just went to find an acquaintance, and he will lead the way to Yihai Lake at noon, but according to his information,

Now that there is a riot on the border of Xunche, and there are mobs stationed near Yihai Lake, I feel that this trip is a bit dangerous, so you don't have to go with me. ”

"Girl, what do you mean? If it's dangerous, we'll have to stay with her. Feng Jian disagreed.

"The fourth brother is right, although the mob is stationed at the border, it is a fight between them and Xunche, and it has nothing to do with us, we just need to take our medicine."

Feng Ji echoed and said: "Firecracker girl, don't worry, a few of us have been running around all year round, which of the mountain bandits and robbers has never met?" We can handle a little riot. ”

“.......”

Although the firecrackers still feel inappropriate, what they said is also true, there are mobs near the border, if it is just her and Tang Jue, it is inevitable that they will be targeted, with the four brothers of the Feng family,

It's safer. ”

Seeing that the firecrackers were silent, Feng Jian stepped forward to comfort him again.

"Rest assured, girl, when we get there, if we notice that the situation is not right, we will go home immediately, and we will never fight with them."

"I know I'm not going to let you die, I'll go back to the house and get some things, and we'll leave in a moment."

It seems that I can't wait until noon, so let's go and find out the situation first.

An hour later, Firecracker took the Feng brothers to Jiwei Hall to meet Tang Du, and drove the carriage to the junction of Kunjiang and Xunche.

"Girl, you see, we are still walking in the land of Xi Yan." Feng Ji lifted the curtain of the carriage and pointed to a field of flowers outside.

"In another quarter of an hour, after the lake in front of you, you will be the land of Kunjiang."

"The border of Kunjiang, why is it so lax? There are no guard handles either? Firecracker asked curiously.

"In terms of national strength, Kunjiang is a small country, and the land is not very large, and now it is even more dependent on the car, and many things have to be controlled by the car.

It seems to have almost become the territory of Xun Che, Kun Jiang is close to Xun Che in the north, and Xi Xun is in the south, and it is sandwiched in the middle.

It was only because Xi Yan wanted to separate Kunjiang from each other to prevent war on the border with Xunche, so he never attacked Kunjiang.

The business matter is controlled by Xi Yan. ”

"The country of Kunjiang is also too miserable, won't the emperor of Kunjiang become a puppet of the two surrounding powers?"

Firecracker shook his head, what is the point of being an emperor like this?

"So, whether it's the junction of Xun Che and Kun Jiang, or the junction of Xi Yun and Kun Jiang, there are no soldiers guarding it, and you can enter freely."

"I think this ginger is the backyard of Xi Yunguo and Xuncheguo......." Firecracker pouted.

"Well, this analogy is also very apt......" Feng Jian nodded with a smile.

A quarter of an hour later, they stepped into the land of Kunjiang, which was steep and had plenty of water, but as far as the eye could see, many wastelands seemed uncultivated.

"Why isn't there anyone planting in the fields here?" Firecrackers frowned, what a waste of this fertile soil.

"This side is adjacent to Xun Che and Xi Yan, Xi Chu is okay, there are not too many guards on the border of Kunjiang, Xun Che is different, there are strict guards over there, and there are more wind and arrow troops stationed here,

Only the citizens of the Xunjiang are allowed to step into the Xunjiang, and the people of the Kunjiang are not allowed to enter the Xunjiang. ”

"That's unfair, isn't it?" Firecrackers can't help but sigh.

"This is the law of the jungle, the strong is king!" Feng Ji laughed: "So the people of Kunjiang don't want to live here, worried that they will be shot through the roof by the wind arrow army of Xun Che one day.

So they moved away, leaving only large fields behind. ”

"Girl, we're almost there......" Tang Du, who was driving the carriage, shouted outside.

Firecrackers lifted the curtain and sat down near the soup decision.

"In less than two quarters of an hour, we will be at Lake Yihai, but I see that the clouds here are a little overcast."

The firecrackers glanced up at the sky, and a dark cloud was hanging in front of them.

The heavens are really not beautiful, they came from thousands of miles away, but they encountered riots and rainy days.......

Thinking of this, the firecrackers couldn't help but learn from the old lady's usual chanting and chanting Buddha, and silently prayed to the Bodhisattva.

In the middle of the night, the carriage stopped on the side of the road.

Tang Jue jumped out of the carriage and wanted to turn around to help the firecracker, but saw that she had jumped off the car quickly behind her.

"Girl, this is near Yihai Lake, and the road to it is impassable, so we can only walk over first."

They tied their horses to trees, and several people walked like a swamp near Lake Yihai.

"Firecracker girl, there is Yihai Lake in front of you." Tang Jue pointed to the head.

The firecrackers looked along his fingers, and he saw a large lake not far ahead, the lake water was gradually blue and clear, flooding with microwaves, and the mountains in the distance overlapped, like a pair of ink spilled into the world by the Emperor of Heaven.

"It's a good lake and mountains, but it's a pity that no one appreciates it."

"The girl's words are wrong, aren't we lucky enough to see it?" Feng Ji said jokingly on the side.

"It's even more beautiful on a sunny day, but it's a pity that it's cloudy today......," Tang Jue replied.

"Wronged Lake, Wronged Lake, I've been listening to this name, and I thought it was a barren and weird place!" Firecracker smiled and shook his head.

"Less than a mile away from the lake is the swamp of death." Tang Jue looked ahead: "I'll go explore the road first and see if there is any movement." ”

"I'll go with you!" Feng Ji stood up.

"We'll go too!" Feng Wei and Feng Tong also stepped forward.

"Fourth brother, you accompany the firecracker girl to wait here...... We'll go back as soon as we go. ”

Feng Ji glanced meaningfully at Feng Jian, who was blushing, and took the other two brothers and walked towards the swamp after Tang Du.

"Explosion..... Firecracker girl ......" Seeing that only he and firecrackers were left, Feng Jian, who usually talked the most, suddenly became cramped.

"What's wrong? Brother Feng Jian? Firecracker turned his head and asked him suspiciously.

"Hmm....... Uh......"

As soon as Feng Jian met the eyes of the firecrackers, he hurriedly moved elsewhere: "Let's go and rest under the tree, standing here is windy." ”

"Okay...... I just want to stand here and see them for the first time. The firecrackers continued to look in the direction they had gone.

For some reason, her heart is pounding tightly today, and she always feels like something is going to happen.

"Don't worry, although my eldest brothers don't say that they have experienced a hundred battles, they are also tired of hearing about it, and they can cope with it whenever they encounter it."

Feng Jian stood aside, seeing that the firecracker had no intention of moving, and wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but raised his hand in the air and put it down again.

"No, that's rude!" What if the firecracker girl thinks he's too reckless?

Here, Feng Jian's heart was in the battle between heaven and man, and he didn't pull it, and he didn't dare to summon it.

The thoughts of the firecrackers over there were all on the few people who were exploring the way: "Isn't it impossible to tell a mile?" It's been almost a quarter of an hour, why haven't you come back? ”

The large area of reeds and weeds around the lake was more than a man high, and the lake was so tightly blocked that nothing could be seen.
