Under the gate of Stone Town, General Li Han once again proposed to send troops to escort him, but Li Niang once again refused, and the group quickly moved away under the gaze of 100,000 iron horsemen from the northern frontier, plunging headlong into the vast and boundless prairie.

"General Li, are you really relieved to let a dozen of them out of the jam?"

Zhao Meng, the owner of the Black Dragon Village, also came, sitting in a carriage, "The Demon Flame is rising, the Demon God Sect is becoming more and more lawless, although it suffered a blow in Triumph Square, but this loss is still a drop in the bucket for the entire Demon God Sect." Although the small number of people is convenient for hiding their whereabouts, once they are surrounded by a large group of Demon God Sect masters on the open and flat grassland, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Don't worry, there is a team of Qiankun Sword Sect disciples to escort you, and Mrs. Qingxin will be fine on the way. Senior Brother Zhao, you can recuperate in peace in my northern Xinjiang camp, and then return to the Divine Fire Pavilion when the wounds are healed. Li Han paused, looked at the prairie in the sky, and was a little worried between his eyebrows, "I'm not worried about the road, but about the ......."

"Are you worried about Gao Cheguo?" Zhao Meng asked, after being injured, he had been lying in bed all day, although the news was almost under house arrest by the sick master Feng Jianbo, but there were some things he still probably knew. The current high-car country is no longer the high-car country that was loyal to the Han country in the past, and the situation is complex and changeable.

"I hope Madame is okay, let's go, go back to the camp!"

Li Han strangled the war horse under his crotch, turned his horse and left, and behind him, the army followed and returned to the camp in northern Xinjiang. The Demon God Sect is pervasive, and in this frontier far from the power center of the Great Han Kingdom, if there is one place that is relatively safe, it is the heavily guarded Northern Frontier Camp. Not only is there a skilled Han Iron Guard guarding it, but it is rumored that there are also Xianmen masters secretly guarding it, only under the orders of the high-level of the four hidden immortal gates, they will never show up until an emergency, and even many Xianmen disciples who have gone down the mountain to experience it do not know their identities and have no chance to meet them.

On the vast prairie, there was a team of men and horses galloping rapidly, and the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect escorted Liniang and the maidservant Qiuhong all the way to the north, riding fast horses to the high-speed car country outside the Saiwai.

Originally, in order to facilitate the concealment of their whereabouts, it was best for the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect to walk, and the speed when galloping at full speed was not slower than riding a horse, but with Li Niang and her maidservant Qiuhong, who were sick, and considering that the time had been delayed and the distance was long, they had to use fast horses to walk. Moreover, the Demon God Sect's power in the northern frontier of the Great Han Kingdom had just suffered a heavy blow in Stone City, and even if it was possible to send masters from other places, it would take time, so the group simply stopped hiding their whereabouts, and changed into the outfit of a blade warrior, wearing a Qiankun battle armor and a cloud hat on their heads.

After riding his horse up a hillside, Shangguan Tu glanced at the mountains and rivers in the sky and took out a map. Find the prominent Stone Town on the map, point it with your finger, and slide your finger across the map all the way north.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, how far is it from here to the Gaoche Country?" Lin Tiance asked after him.

"It's not far away, you can definitely get there before dark, and bypassing the Xiaoguangling Mountains is the country of high cars. Brothers, let's go!" Shangguan Tu put away the map, clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and rushed out.

"Little Guangling Mountain Range?"

Lin Tian followed, and suddenly remembered the "Guangling Essays" by Ye Beigong, the eldest disciple of the sect.

"Hahaha, Brother Lin Tian, you don't know this, right?"

Shangguan Tu laughed, and when he arrived at the Saiwai Prairie of Yima Pingchuan, he seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and regain his former cheerfulness, "The Guangling Mountains have been famous in the Central Plains for a long time, and for thousands of years, I don't know how many literati have left traces in the poems, but what many people don't know is that this Guangling Mountain Range is not in the Central Plains of the Great Han Kingdom, but outside the northern frontier. Moreover, it is divided into the small Guangling mountain range and the large Guangling mountain range, the small Guangling mountain range is between the Great Han Kingdom and the Gaoche country, and the Great Guangling Mountain Range will continue to go north, still thousands of miles away, where it is the real wild land outside the Saiwai, where many uncivilized barbarians live. By the way, Lin Tian, have you heard of the Guangling Mountains? I remember, you seem to have lived in a remote mountain village before you took the Immortal Sect assessment and joined the sect, right?"

After laughing, Shangguan Tu's tone changed, and his gaze at Lin Tian was sharp.

"That's right, I've always lived in a small mountain village and I've never been outside the city. However, junior brother, I usually like to read books in addition to cultivation, and there are many books in the Zongmen Wolong Academy, among which there is a travelogue that mentions the Guangling Mountains. ”

Lin Tian replied, both true and false. He really learned about this Guangling Mountain Range from a travelogue, but after thinking about it, he still had reservations, and he didn't tell the "Guangling Essays" that Yue Qingshan gave him.

"Okay, I like to read, it's a good habit!"

Shangguan Tu nodded, patted Lin Tian's shoulder vigorously, looked enthusiastic and appreciative, and said: "The ancients said that there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Brother Lin Tian, I really didn't expect that you have superb sword skills and a solid foundation and are still a scholar, no wonder your comprehension is so high, and you have comprehended the sword domain so quickly! In the future, you must be the pillar of our Qiankun Sword Sect and become a giant of the Immortal Sect!"

"Scholars don't dare to be, junior brother, I just read a few more books, and senior brother has won the award. As for the Sword Domain, now I have only comprehended the prototype of the most basic realm, at most it is only a half-step Sword Domain, and I would like to ask Senior Brother Shangguan for more advice!" Lin Tian was very modest, and there was a faint feeling of discomfort in his heart. I don't know why, I always feel that although Shangguan Tu is still so enthusiastic and generous, he no longer has the straightforwardness and sincerity he had when they first met, on the contrary, he was always testing something intentionally or unintentionally.

Are you suspicious?

Or is this mission too dangerous and difficult, Shangguan Tu is under too much pressure, or is it ......

Lin Tian was secretly attentive, and he was more cautious in what he said and did.

"Comprehend the prototype of the realm, and you will not be far from a real sword domain!Lin Tian, don't worry, I believe it won't take long for you to get there. Let's go, and rest when we get to the country of high cars!"

Shangguan Tu's voice was like a bell, and before the words fell, he whipped the war horse under his crotch, and rushed out at an accelerated pace. Behind him, everyone followed closely, and hurried towards the country of high cars.

The scenery outside the plug is completely different from the land of the Central Plains.

There are also forest valleys, mountains and rivers, but more of them are endless savannahs that can be ridden on war horses. Like many inaccessible places, there are many predators living here, and lions and cheetahs can be seen from time to time. The sturdy hunters did not dare to cross the prairie alone, but Lin Tian and his entourage had no fear and advanced straight into the depths of the prairie. No matter how powerful the beast is, it can't stop the disciples of the sect from stabbing it, and there is no danger along the way.

At noon, the group rested a little in the Mobei River, let the sick Liniang take a breath, and then set off to continue the journey. After the endless Mobei River flowing down from the snowy mountains, it is closer to the country of high cars, however, maybe it is the fatigue of the boat, or maybe it is not suitable for the cold wind outside the plug and the wind is cold, Liniang's illness is even more serious, lying on the back of the horse coughing can not stand up, the maid Qiuhong stepped forward to help him beat his back to no avail, so anxious that he shed tears.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, there is no way to go on like this, Mrs. Qingxin's body will collapse. Why don't you rest nearby for one night before leaving?" Lin Tiance rushed to Shangguan Tu's side, looking at Liniang's body with a worried face.

As a former martial arts alliance master, and now a master of the Qiankun Sword Sect's Hundred People Hall, there are not many people who really admire him. Although Liniang is a woman, she is terminally ill and can calmly face the wind and waves, and she is not afraid of the long distance and the hardships on the road all the way from the capital, which makes people have to be impressed, and she is also worried about her body.

"That's not good, we've been on the road for so long. ”

"That's it, if you delay time on the road, maybe the Demon God Sect master will catch up again!"

......

Without waiting for Shangguan Tu to say anything, all the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect began to talk about it, and one by one they were eager to rush to the bat cave in the territory of Gaoche Country immediately, and it was important to complete the task.

"If we can't complete the task, none of us will be able to escape the punishment of the sect, and many contribution points will be deducted. The brothers are all in a hurry, Lin Tian, you have also seen it, it's not that I won't agree to you, senior brother, but ......" Shangguan Tu looked embarrassed.

"It's okay, Lin Tian, I can continue to hold on, I can ...... it right away"

Li Niang understood Lin Tian's kindness, and she didn't want him to be embarrassed and insisted on, but she coughed again before she finished speaking. This time, instead of blood, the cough came out of a dark black blood clot, and the condition was already very serious.

"Senior Brother Shangguan, we have been delayed on the road for so long, and it is not a bad day. Besides, it will be dark in another hour or so, and even if we hurry up, we are afraid that we will not have time to reach the capital of the high-car country before dark. It's better to find a place nearby to rest for a night, and then leave early tomorrow morning after recuperating your energy!" Lin Tian said in a sincere tone, paused and said, "It's really not good, you guys go first, my wife and I will rest around here and follow tomorrow, how about it?"

Lin Tian took the initiative to retreat and did not insist that he must stop and station.

With all that said, the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect looked at each other and said no more. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, as a disciple of the Xianmen, the status of everyone is transcendent, and they can not look at Liniang, the first-class lady of the Han Kingdom, but they have to give Lin Tian some face. Although he was only a rookie disciple, the strength and talent that Lin Tian showed after joining the sect had already been impressive, and maybe he might really become an immortal giant in the future. For such a thousand-year-old wizard, naturally no one dares to offend easily. Yue Qingshan, who had a good relationship with Lin Tian, didn't know how to say anything, it was inconvenient to intercede for Lin Tian, but at least he could remain silent and did not echo everyone's statement.

The people fell silent, and their eyes were all fixed on Shangguan Tu.

Now, whether to continue on the road or find a place to station, just wait for Shangguan Tu's orders.

"Okay, Lin Tian, then rest for a night before leaving. ”

After being silent for a while, Shangguan Tu finally broke the silence and quickly spread out the map, "There is still a long way to go from here to the capital of the Gaoche Country, but after crossing the Mobei River, it can already be said that you have set foot on the territory of the Gaoche Country." We are probably in this place now, and twenty miles further on, there is Kutu City, a small city in the country of Gaoche. Let's go, let's rest there. ”

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Shangguan!"

Lin Tian bowed and saluted, and then looked at Liniang, who was aggravated, "Madam, there are only twenty miles to go, can you still hold on?"

"It's okay, Lin Gongzi, I'm sorry for you. Li Niang replied, and before she had time to say anything, she covered her mouth and coughed again.

"Your own brother, you're welcome!

Shangguan Tu patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, snapped the war horse under his crotch with a snap, and rushed out with a horse, heading straight for Kutu City, twenty miles away. Behind him, everyone followed closely, but Lin Tian fell behind the last break, worried that Liniang's condition would worsen and fall off the horse.

Riding a fast horse, twenty miles was nothing, and it didn't take long for a small exotic city full of exotic customs to appear in front of the group.

It is a small city built on the desert, backed by a bare hillside, and the people live not in the usual houses, but in the caves, which are dug out of the mountain, and the whole slope is almost hollowed out. The surrounding desert is yellow mud, and the caves on the hillside are also yellow, and in the light of the setting sun, it looks golden from afar, and there is not a trace of green in sight. The town is not large, and the population does not seem to be very large, and the smoke is curling, and from time to time a bell comes from afar, which is the bell of the sheep returning from grazing.

"High-car country, Kutu city ......"

Lin Tian murmured, looking at this exotic town from a distance, and after a long while, he rode his horse to follow.
