Chapter 220: Iron Head Mountain
Li Xuan'er and his entourage walked out of the city from the return inn and came to the suburbs, and it only took two quarters of an hour for everyone to see how small this Bazhong City is.
Everyone first came to a peach forest, although it was only the beginning of February, but the peach blossoms here did not know what kind of variety, but they had already pulled out green buds. As a woman, Li Xuan'er naturally likes peach blossoms. Li Xuan'er's favorite is not the peach blossom flower, but the calyx holding the pink petals.
In this peach forest full of green buds, Li Xuan'er jumped and ran in it with her hands outstretched.
Naturally, it was inconvenient for the man to look at Madame, so he turned around and upheld the responsibilities and obligations of a guard.
"It's so beautiful..."Li Xuan'er rotated, her pink nose was close to a peach branch, although there was no floral fragrance, but the fresh air on the green buds was also quite good.
Li Xuan'er suddenly remembered Chen Letian, and couldn't help but smile and mutter: "Brother Lotte, thank you for letting me come out, otherwise how could I see the beautiful scenery of this peach forest that has not yet bloomed in the suburbs of Bazhong City..." I don't know what kind of beauty Brother Lotte prefers?
The men guarding outside the bamboo forest are actually rough people, and no one can discover the beauty of the peach forest in the spring light.
Occasionally, some people passing by, such as the leader of the title, who didn't seem to be a good friend, glared at him, and naturally didn't dare to enter this peach forest.
The bearded man Ying Sheng's bald head Yu Houhefeng and the guards had nothing to do and chatted. I don't know where to start chatting, everyone suddenly talked about gold, silver and jade, and the leader Feng said: "Our owner has a lot of valuable jade, I have seen it with my own eyes, it is really a beautiful one." ”
The bearded man said victoriously: "Leader Feng, I see that you don't seem to know much about jade, how do you know if it's good or not..."
The bearded man said proudly: "You see, this is the best jade I have collected since I was a child, and it is all here." ”
The leader of the seal really doesn't know how to appreciate jade, but people who don't understand jade can see whether the light emitted by the jade is dazzling and whether the tentacles are as cold as ice. Feng Leader said: "Ying Sheng, you rich people are happy, you want to play and buy whatever you want, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to add these jades, right?"
The bearded man Ying Sheng said proudly: "Not only is it a lot of money, but these are worth at least more than 20,000 taels of silver." ”
The leader of Feng gave a thumbs up and said, "There is money and money, and I have served." But although there is envy written on his face, there is also a kind of unearthly indifference. It is a typical reckless man's mentality that values love and righteousness rather than gold and silver. If it weren't for Feng Shan is master's henchman, with this kind of expression, Ying Sheng and Yu Hou would have been able to kill him, on the grounds that the praise was too fake.
When everyone admired the bearded so many good jade, two young men happened to pass by. The two men were dressed in short beats, and they looked like little servants of some family. Just glanced at the bearded man who was retrieving the jade from the hands of the guards, and the eyes of the two little servants gave off an undisguised light, like a cat seeing a fish.
The leader of Feng was more vigilant, took a step and stood in front of the bearded man, and shouted to the two little guys: "What are you looking at?
The two little guys smiled, didn't care, and walked away.
Leader Feng frowned and watched the two little guys leave, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. After thinking about it, it suddenly occurred to me that the expressions of these two little guys when they left did not have the slightest panic and resentment after being scolded by them.

Li Xuan'er walked in the peach forest for half an hour and walked out of the peach forest happily.
The servant next to him hurriedly handed over the kettle.
Li Xuan'er took the kettle, looked at the servant who was only a teenager, and frowned: "I have to find a maid when I go back, it's a little inconvenient for men." ”
The bearded Ying Sheng suddenly said: "Master, I have a relative who is from Bazhong, and he has many daughters, more than a teenager, who are entrusting me to make a living for them, if Master doesn't dislike it, I can bring a few people to show you." ”
Li Xuan'er thought for a while and said, "Yes." ”
The crowd continued on to the south.
Li Xuan'er looked up at the open south and saw that it was about seven or eight miles away from them, and it was a mountain. She asked what the name of the mountain was.
The bearded man said victoriously: "Master, this mountain is called Tietou Mountain." ”
The bald Yu Hou suddenly said: "Ah, this Tietou Mountain is not good!"
Leader Feng's eyes flashed, and he said, "What's wrong with Tietou Mountain?"
Bald Yu Houdao: "I heard that there is a nest of bandits on this Tietou Mountain, let's go back to the city, it's not safe here." ”
Li Xuan'er smiled and said: "In broad daylight, even if there are really bandits on the mountain so close to Bazhong City, I'm afraid they won't dare to take advantage of the daytime to rob people and money, right?"
The bald Yu Hou hesitated, but still said, "Master, you don't know something. This Bazhong City has never been a very peaceful place, just because this Bazhong was a strategic fortress, and there are many bandits and bandits gathered here, so if you have some ability, you will either go west to Chengdu or go east to the capital. Most of those who remain here are old and weak. And the government here is not patrolling effectively, so many bandits gradually took root here. In addition to not daring to enter the city to loot, but anyone who showed their money was found by them, no matter which gate they went out of the city, as long as they walked less than ten miles out of the city, they would be robbed. It's a good thing, most of the time, they just rob people of their money and give up, and rarely hurt people's lives. ”
Li Xuan'er pondered for a long time and said: "In this case, then let's go back to the city, in case we really run into it, although we are not afraid, but more is better than less." ”
Madame spoke, and of course everyone complied.
The group turned around and walked back, and before they had gone a mile, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, from far to near.
"Protect Madame!" Leader Feng turned around first, and saw dozens of men and horses rushing towards him. I expected that the comer was not good, but I didn't know if it was the nest of robbers on Tietou Mountain that Fang just said baldly. Although there were many doubts in his heart, the Feng leader, who was accustomed to the wind and waves, was still very calm, and stood at the front first, with a total of twenty guards surrounding Li Xuan'er in the middle.
The bearded Ying Sheng and the bald Yu Hou were also fearless in front of the master. The two of you are a picture of many thieves, and I have the momentum of the sword.
