After last night's night attack, Li Bo and Ri Yunxiu didn't want to stay in Fengle City anymore, and woke up Ling Hanmian to leave as soon as it was dawn.

As soon as they came out of the door of the restaurant, the smell of smoke and fire came to their nostrils, and the surrounding area was depressed and bleak, and the three of them walked along the road to the east gate of the city last night, but they saw the broken pillars of the black wall, the smoke trees and the remnants of flowers, and the villagers cried and wailed from time to time, and in the rubble of the ashes of the ashes, desperately rummaged for the remains of their relatives.

Ling Hanmian was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth, and Li Bo told him as he walked.

More than ten miles out of the city, I found a small restaurant at the three-way intersection.

Ling Hanmian poured a bowl of soy milk first, grabbed the bowl with his hand and slammed the table and sighed: "The imperial army is really incompetent, it actually let the Luosang people invade the hinterland and capture the four princes!

"This boy—" The vendor at the table leaned over, "I heard that something happened in the city last night, and it seems to be true?"

"Alas!" Ling Hanmian nodded heavily.

"Grass!" A group of vendors made a noise, some scolded Luo Sangguo, some complained about the royal family of Great Xia, and some lamented that their fate was not good, and they made a fuss for a while, paid the bill, and pushed several large trucks to the south in despair. It seems that he planned to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to go into the city to make a lot of money, but because of this night attack, he lost the soup.

"It seems that Brother Ling is still a patriot!"

Li Bo said it casually, but it aroused Ling Hanmian's pride, and he held his head high and said: "That's nature! If all the people in the world are not patriotic, then there is really no hope for this country." ”

Ri Yunxiu said disdainfully: "What's the use of a scholar being patriotic? ”

Li Bo looked at her in surprise, she has known her for so many days, she can always bring surprises to people, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old actually said such a thing.

Even Ling Hanmian was choked by her when he was full of poetry and books, and he couldn't pick it up for a long time, and only after a while did he sigh again: "Luosang Country was originally a small country on the northeast coast, and in the past ten years, it has taken advantage of the political instability of our country to rise suddenly, first unifying the northern barbarians, and then invading our border, and capturing Luyin City in Beiguo County, which has not been recovered until now. It's so rampant!

The shopkeeper served wontons to the three of them, glanced at Ling Hanmian, and said, "If you want me to see, this young lady is right." It's really useless to take the show in these years, a good man should go into battle to kill the enemy, sit here and sigh and brag and go crazy, there's a fart!"

Ri Yunxiu grinned and said, "The shopkeeper is reasonable. ”

"I'm a lifter. Ling Hanmian could only refute this sentence with a dark face.

"Okay, my big man, hurry up and have your breakfast, it's going to be cold. The shopkeeper shook his head and laughed and went to work.

After dinner, under Ling Hanmian's strong recommendation, the three of them went to the nearby village horse farm to buy two skinny horses. The scholar was weak, and he was tired from walking crookedly, and there were already blisters on his feet. He rode one by himself, and Li Bori Yunxiu rode one horse.

"If you want to go to the mouth of the big river in Tianjie County, you have to make a long way!" Out of the village, Ling Hanmian rode a horse and raised his whip to tell the surrounding geography, "The road to the north leads to Yangwu County, Tian Gongzi has to go from here to Linjian City when he goes home, but looking at the current situation, it is likely to have been cut off by Luosang Kingdom." Three or four hundred miles to the east, is our next stop Wangxian City, the road is a little difficult to walk, the front is full of mountains, you have to go around a big circle. After Wangxian City, hey, I arrived at the place I didn't want to go, a whole ocean swamp, commonly known as the Dry Forest Valley. Within a radius of more than 100 miles, the dead trees and rotten grass are gathered, desolate and rancid, there is no one to live, and when the sky is cloudy, the clouds are often gloomy and miserable, and the ghosts cry and howl. There are so many strange things and strange stories that no one dares to go to the official mansion, and it has become a paradise for robbers and bandits. In previous years, when we were rushing to take the exam, we had to contact and wait for thirty or forty people in Wangxian City, and we had to bribe the officers and soldiers or ask the dart bureau to escort us before we dared to set foot in it. ”

Li Bo interjected and asked, "When will your exam start?" Will it be delayed?" Thinking that if the time was urgent, it would be a big deal to fly him directly with him at a cost.

"Don't worry!" Ling Hanmian was confident, "The big exam will not officially start until winter, and I have always taken precautions and left home more than two months in advance. If nothing else, it will arrive in about half a month. ”

Li Bo rode a horse for the first time, Ri Yunxiu was also a novice, the horse was bullied, slacking off and running around, and the two couldn't control it, which caused Ling Hanmian to laugh.

"Thief beast!" Li Bo scolded angrily, luck poured into his feet, like two big iron rods, tightly clamping the horse's belly. The horse struggled to resist for a long time until he was weak, and then he realized that his master was powerful and began to obey.

The three of them and the two horses walked forward peacefully, unhurriedly, the bells jingled, and after climbing a small hill, they saw a long ridge like a black and swarthy high wall in the distance, covering the sky and covering the sun, like waves undulating, extending to the end of the sky.

Ling Hanmian raised his whip and pointed, "The one who stands in the way is Shenlong Mountain. Diagonally inserted from the north and south to the southeast, stretching for thousands of miles, the gods of heaven opened up, the momentum is like a dragon, it is the symbol of our Great Xia Empire. ”

The three of them looked up with reverence, and suddenly felt the size of the world, the beauty of mountains and rivers, and the insignificance of people.

The road ahead is all hills, belonging to the low section of the remaining veins of Shenlong Mountain, the road is slightly rugged, and you can sit on a horse and lie together.

Li Bo didn't dare to waste any more time, he wanted to hurry up the exercises, let Ri Yunxiu sit in front of the reins, and hold her gentle little waist by himself, but his heart was as calm as water, pranayama luck, and the cycle was endless.

As long as I take out the momentum of the college entrance examination review, day and night, I will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Well, Ning Dan is mid-level and high-level, and the dazzling light is superb, and it will be able to reach it soon.

He was engrossed, and after about an hour, he suddenly felt Ri Yunxiu gently poke him with his elbow, "Brother Tian Shu, look, there are a lot of people down there!"

Li Bo also heard the chaos just now, and when he opened his eyes, the horses were walking on the Pantuo Road on a mountainside, and hundreds of people on the left side passed by scattered, wearing yellow clothes, carrying each other in three or five, most of them were on crutches and bandages, and they seemed to be wounded soldiers.

Ling Hanmian's eyesight was far inferior to the two of them, and he asked, "Who are these people?"

Li Bo described, Ling Hanmian beat his chest and sighed, almost fell off the horse, "Defeated again! The lantern is the symbol of Fengle City, it seems to be ......"

Li Bo said: "It seems that the troops who went to rescue the four princes were ambushed." ”

Ling Hanmian touched his chin and said: "Luosang has a capable person in the country! First take advantage of the negligent garrison on the occasion of the Lantern Festival, surprise attack the city, and then plan the operation of our army, luring the enemy deep into the urn to catch turtles. Wow, this serial scheme is amazing. ”

"There are not only capable people, but also extremely powerful martial arts masters. Li Bo thought of the black bat, and his heart sank.

"Now even the emperor's own brother has been arrested, I don't know how the imperial court will respond?" Ling Hanmian shook his head helplessly, and whipped his mount vigorously with a whip to vent, "Drive!"

The horse was in pain, threw its head and shook its neck, and jumped out.
