As soon as Zhang Jiayang and Zixia returned to the gate of Shouchun Inn, the shopkeeper came out and said with a smile: "Ouch, the two distinguished guests are back, please grandfather, aunt and grandmother, please." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhang Jiayang and Zixia couldn't help laughing when they heard the shopkeeper's name like this, Zhang Jiayang asked while laughing, "Hello little brother, why are you so polite to us?"

"Ouch, look at what you said, you have passed the initial test by the royal government, and you have already told me when you returned, and then if the prince agrees, you will be in a high position, and you will be prosperous, and the small ones are not polite, aren't you happy to find them yourself, just ask the lord to take care of the small ones if he has the opportunity to promote them in the future." ”

"Thank you, little brother, for lifting up. Zhang Jiayang said with a smile.

"Please also take care of the master, to transfer to the post house to live, this is the royal order, the small one is not easy to keep, in order to show respect for the lord, last night's accommodation fee was discounted, please don't forget the small shop in the future. ”

"Ouch, then thank you little brother, are you shopkeepers willing?"

"The shopkeeper has already set the rules, whoever is selected by the palace, our inn must take special care, I have the final say on this matter, hehe. ”

Zhang Jiayang bowed his hand and said: "It seems that your shopkeeper really knows how to do business, so it is better to be respectful." ”

"It should be, it should be. ”

Zhang Jiayang and Zixia packed their bags, took out the horses and walked out of the inn, Xiao Er actually sent a horse boy to lead the way and smoothly transferred to the post house, the post house official saw the sign of the palace, naturally did not dare to slack off, the post house official said: "Two heroes and heroes upstairs, please." ”

"Please. ”

Zhang Jiayang and Zixia followed the post house official upstairs and were introduced into a spacious guest room, the post house official said: "Hero, please take a break, there is a special dining place below, you can go at any time, if you don't take care of it, please inform the lower official, and the lower official will definitely arrange it." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you very much. Zhang Jiayang was flattered and returned the salute.

Zixia looked at the furnishings in the room and couldn't help but admire: "Heroic Xianggong, this place is much more high-grade than Shouchun Inn, it's amazing." ”

"This is higher grade than Zhongnan Mountain, but I always feel that I am not free in Zhongnan Mountain, but this Huainan King is still quite good at attracting talents like me, live first and then say, finally close to the palace, as long as Liu Xin is still in Huainan Kingdom, it is only a matter of time to find her, I hope to find my good brother Xiao Zhuge as soon as possible." ”

"Xianggong, I know that you are in a hurry, you should take the initiative to attack, if Liu Xin is here, he will definitely meet with the King of Huainan often, we can just monitor the King of Huainan directly, so we won't worry about Liu Xin not appearing. ”

"Madame is right, tomorrow I will go to the immortal mountain of King Huainan alone to find clues, and Madame can rest in the post house and wait for me to return. ”

"Okay, listen to the arrangement. ”

Time slowly passed a sleepless night, when the sky was still cloudy, Zhang Jiayang got up early, Zixia was woken up from sleep and opened her sleepy eyes to look at Zhang Jiayang, Zhang Jiayang said in a low voice: "Madam, you then rest, I will set off to Xianshan for a turn, take care of myself in the post house today, I will be back in the evening." ”

"Okay, stay safe, and don't forget to bring the dry food you prepared yesterday. ”

"Madame, rest assured, you know. Zhang Jiayang waved his hand and left the guest room, quietly slipped out of the door of the post house, rode on the horse and galloped straight to the northeast corner of Shouchun, about half an hour, the flat and wide road gradually became uneven, and a gentle mountain appeared in the distance, thinking that it should be the immortal mountain of Huainan Wang Alchemy, so he patted the horse and accelerated the speed of travel, and then approached the mountain, there was a woodcutter walking forward on the path ahead, carrying some tools in his hand, like going into the mountain to chop wood, Zhang Jiayang patted the horse and chased a few steps, and shouted when he was almost behind the woodcutter: "Little brother walks slowly, little brother walks slowly. ”

The woodcutter turned around and saw Zhang Jiayang and said casually, "May I ask you for something?"

Zhang Jiayang walked closer, turned over and dismounted Ma Shili and said, "Excuse me, little brother." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome. ”

"May I ask if this mountain in front of the little brother is the Immortal Mountain?"

"Hehe, Xianshan, this is not Xianshan, it's just a firewood mountain where our farmers cut firewood. ”

"Oh, it turned out that it wasn't Xianshan, where is Xianshan?"

The woodcutter thought about it and said, "You should be asking about the mountain where our great king is alchemizing, right?"

Zhang Jiayang nodded again and again and said, "Exactly, exactly." ”

"Oh, that mountain is twenty miles behind this mountain, and you can see that the trees on the mountain are more lush than this mountain. ”

"Oh, thank you, little brother. ”

After speaking, the woodcutter said suspiciously: "You're welcome, may I ask where you are going, do you have the prince's waist card, if not, you will not be able to enter that mountain." ”

"Oh, why?"

"Needless to say, the prince and his wise men often make alchemy on the mountain, how can they allow ordinary people to go and alarm the immortal qi. ”

"Yo, that's what you said," Zhang Jiayang took a step closer to the woodcutter and said, "Is there a way for the little brother to enter the Immortal Mountain." ”

The woodcutter frowned and asked, "Are you going to the Immortal Mountain to do something, if you have bad intentions......

"Little brother, don't worry, my friend has a disease, and the fortune teller said that if you enter the fairy mountain to pick a herb, you can be cured, so I came in a hurry. Zhang Jiayang saw the woodcutter's doubts, so he panicked casually.

"I see, since it is to cure diseases and save people, I will tell you how to bypass the prince's sentry and enter the fairy mountain, after bypassing this mountain and entering the southwest corner, there is a dense forest, you must pass through the dense forest of the moon and then climb over the desolate hillside to bypass the sentry, but there is a cliff there, this cliff has the rattan hanging by our mountain people, you need to climb the vine, look at your body should be difficult for you. ”

Zhang Jiayang said excitedly: "Thank you for your advice." ”

"You're welcome, be careful not to be spotted by the guards, good luck. After the woodcutter finished speaking, he carried his tools and continued to advance up the mountain.

Zhang Jiayang smiled slightly, stepped on the war horse and walked on the road around the mountain, thinking about which side of the mountain to go as soon as possible, and quickly arrived at Xianshan, about half an hour, a team of soldiers suddenly appeared in front of him to march to Xianshan, Zhang Jiayang immediately slowed down, slowly walked behind, this team of soldiers walked to the foot of the mountain into a mountain passage, there is a mountain checkpoint at the intersection, this team of people and horses showed their waist cards to enter the fairy mountain smoothly, Zhang Jiayang immediately realized that he could not go forward, then he got off the horse and led into the woods next to the road, there are some mountain people in the woods to chop wood and collect medicine, partly because no one walks all year round has long been occupied by trees and weeds, Jiayang took out the waist knife to open the way, just walked for an hour, vaguely heard the sound of water, Zhang Jiayang came to the momentum, walked a few steps forward, saw a clear pool of water, there is a curtain of waterfall on the upper side of the pool tirelessly splashed down, Zhang Jiayang took a handful of pool water with his hand and drank a sip, refreshing and sweet, but also let the horses drink a little, took out the dry food prepared in the post house and ate for a while, then Zhang Jiayang saw clearly that there was no way up the mountain on the upper side of the pool, only to realize that this may be the woodcutter said that the waterfall cliff that needs to be climbed up, the horses naturally can not go up, so they tied it to a place where weeds are abundant, let the horses eat by themselves, they looked up around the waterfall, without much effort, they saw an ancient vine wrapped around each other and slowly spread upward, and finally wrapped around a big tree on the top of the cliff, Zhang Jiayang tightened his belt, grasped the ancient vine, kicked the cliff with both feet, and climbed to the cliff step by step, at this time, several birds on the cliff were frightened and chirped away, scared Zhang Jiayang jumped, stabilized his mind and continued to go up, about two quarters of an hour to climb up smoothly, then Zhang Jiayang looked down the cliff again, the pool water has been firmly stepped on the foot, and then look ahead, the hillside has been much flattened, hurriedly climbed up, looking at the similarity between the green mountains and cypresses and Zhongnan Mountain, so that Zhang Jiayang had the illusion of returning to Zhongnan Mountain, and cast a wonderful kung fu that had not been used for a long time, it was really enjoyable, and suddenly there was a pedal staircase paved with original stones in front of him, Zhang Jiayang felt that it should not be far from the Huainan King's place to play alchemy, so he accelerated his pace, not much work, vaguely saw a few rows of houses built in the middle of the mountain, Zhang Jiayang quietly moved towards the direction of this row of houses, and before he got closer, he saw a row of soldiers coming down from the mountain, Zhang Jiayang hurriedly turned over and hid in the bushes on the hillside below the road, although it was daytime, but don't look carefully at all, the soldiers just watched the stairs slowly walk down the mountain, and when there was no movement Zhang Jiayang poked his head out to check the surroundings, and found that there was nothing abnormal and then walked towards the row of houses, when he got closer, Zhang Jiayang saw that these rows of houses should be the soldiers' camp residence, and saw that the row of houses near the dense forest was full of soldiers' clothes hanging in the air, Zhang Jiayang had an idea, so he quietly walked to the back of the house under the cover of the dense forest, took a set of soldiers' clothes and put them on, and stood next to the room and kicked his feet to try, and found that it still fits well, and was about to continue to check the situation inside and outside the roomThen I heard a voice shouting: "Don't shake around, boy, come and carry these things up the mountain together, the king is waiting." ”

At this time, Zhang Jiayang turned his head and saw three people standing at the intersection in front of the house, one of them was shouting to himself like Wu Chang, Zhang Jiayang pointed to his nose and said, "Are you calling me?"

"Boy, who else is here, hurry up and carry these food and wine up the mountain, or the king will not be able to wait." ”

"No. Zhang Jiayang said yes and walked closer.

The Wu Commander looked at Zhang Jiayang and said: "The body is so strong, why didn't you follow the patrol, you must want to be lazy again, I met you today and you can't be lazy, you and Zhang San carry this jar of wine, me and Li Sitai these food." ”

"I said Wu Chief," Zhang Jiayang said blindly, "I'm really not lazy, there are some hygiene in the camp that need to be cleaned, and we have arranged it by Wu Chang, who has just finished cleaning and wants to take a break." ”

"What to rest, these things must be brought to the banquet table at the top of the mountain according to my orders, otherwise we will not be able to eat and walk. ”

"No, we'll go right away. ”
