At this juncture, Meng Xie knew that he had to go.

Taking a step forward, he looked firmly at Tuoba Hong and said, "General, I will set off now, it will take about twenty days to go back and forth, and I will definitely bring you good news." ”

In fact, there are also many other ways to transmit messages in the Heavenly Evolution Continent, such as spirit beasts, teleportation arrays, and so on.

Each is more convenient than the oldest way, but it is also much less secure.

Although the way of the post man is more time-consuming, most of the post man has an exclusive mount, and it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles a day.

Before becoming an official post officer, everyone will take a heavenly oath not to divulge any information about their employer, as well as the content of their letters.

Moreover, each storage ring has a unique opening method of the postman, and if others want to force it to open, the contents of the storage ring will disappear.

Therefore, many people with money and status will choose the post man as a way to deliver information.

"Meng Xie, be careful all the way. ”

Tuoba Hong is not a mother-in-law, patted Meng Xie on the shoulder heavily, and said a few more words.

"This time, when you go to Liangzhou City, you must see the city lord Qi Sijun, get the troop transfer documents, and wait for the city lord Qi Siyuan to arrange everything before you can come back, and you have to tell the city lord Qi Siyuan to inform His Majesty in the imperial capital of the battle report as soon as possible, so that His Majesty can make a decision as soon as possible. ”

"Don't worry, general, I will definitely come back with reinforcements. ”

Meng Xie nodded, indicating that he had memorized it, then clenched his fists and said goodbye, turned around and left.

The moonlight poured out like silver, and a black cloud-treading horse galloped out of the barracks, bringing up a cloud of dust and smoke, and hurried down the road towards the northwest.

It was another sunny day, the sky was clear, white clouds, Meng Xie was sweating profusely, his lips were dry and his mouth was cracked, but his eyes were still looking ahead.

It's been three days since he came out, and Meng Xie relied on the navigation of Gaode's map to copy the shortcut road to Liangzhou City, running all the way, except for the necessary rest, the rest of the time was used to hurry.

Clutching the reins soaked in sweat, Meng Xie turned the detour in front of him, and just looked up to see the mountain that was pitch black like the hand of the devil.

"This is the Devil's Hand Ridge? It is really steep, and after here, you can walk for another day to reach Liangzhou City. ”

In front of him, the swarthy mountains covered half of the sky, and the four conjoined peaks were like fingers shrouding the wide official road.

The dense woods on both sides of the road make it impossible to see the reality at all, and it is actually a good place to ambush.

Before coming, General Tuoba Hong and Adjutant Zhao Ming introduced in detail the various dangerous places on the road, among which Moshouling was repeatedly emphasized many times.

Magic Hand Ridge is the only way to go to Liangzhou City, originally under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou City, due to the dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liangzhou City garrison once sent troops to be stationed here.

But since the war between Qi and Chu, due to the tight front of Qingyang Town, the troops have been transferred to the front.

The garrison of the Demon Hand Ridge was also withdrawn, resulting in some bold people occupying this place in this time of chaos, claiming to be kings, and becoming a large force.

Although it was daytime, there were rustling sounds from time to time in the gloomy and dark woods on both sides of the official road, which made Meng Xie feel as if there were many people in ambush inside.

Opening the screen in front of him, Meng Xie clicked on the 360 security guard of the small cross with a yellow circle.

The familiar interface opened in an instant, and Meng Xie turned on all the radars in the interface and the golden bell jar, which made him feel a little relieved.

However, he still waved his horsewhip a few times, planning to pass through the Devil's Hand Ridge quickly, as long as he passed here, Liangzhou City would not be far away.

As soon as he reached the center of the Demon Hand Ridge, Meng Xie heard a faint joy coming out in the distance.

"Phew~"

Meng Xie grabbed the reins and led the cloud-stepping horse to the side of the road, looking up with a little confusion.

In the distance, a team of relatives dressed in red and green came from the official road of Moshouling.

There were about forty or fifty people in the procession, each dressed in red and green, and at the front there were two people holding musical instruments and playing cheerful music.

In the center of the procession is a red sedan chair, next to which is a delicate and clever little maid.

Around the front and back of the sedan chair, there are eight powerful bodyguards, wearing brown and red military uniforms, holding long swords and short knives in their hands.

The sunlight shone on the military uniform, and a vague reflection of the flowing word "left" was faintly reflected.

On the cuffs that the bodyguards inadvertently raised, Meng Xie also found five circles of embroidered silver thread.

"Five-rank samurai? I don't know which family it is, the five-rank samurai can only be a bodyguard, it's really a big deal." ”

Meng Xie set his gaze on the leading tiger beast again.

The golden tiger beast, with its fangs exposed, snorted from time to time, and the hot air that erupted from its mouth made the dust on the ground fly.

Glancing at the Tiger Lin Beast with envy, Meng Xie was also jealous in his heart.

The Tiger Lin Beast, although it is just an ordinary first-order demon beast, has a violent temperament and is not easy to catch, let alone tame into a mount.

Therefore, some big families have trained the Tiger Lin Beast into a mount through secret techniques and rewarded young disciples in the family who have made great contributions or focused on training.

Now, sitting on the Tiger Beast was a young man, about twenty-four or five years old, with a handsome white face and an indifferent expression, his eyes constantly looking around, and his vigilance was unmistakable.

The young man was wearing a green shirt, and the nine bright gold threads embroidered on the cuffs told outsiders that he was a nine-rank warrior.

It seems that this young man is the focus of cultivation in the family, otherwise he would not have been able to get a tiger beast as a mount at such an age.

Meng Xie quickly analyzed in his heart, and his eyes also looked at the greeting team that was only a few meters away from him.

The team gradually approached, and the young man's gaze swept to Meng Xie under the big tree on the side of the road, and he froze slightly, and then continued to move forward.

And the eight bodyguards stared at Meng Xie with warning eyes, keeping an eye on him at all times.

"Stop. ”

After walking about ten meters, the young man raised his right hand, and with a light touch of his left hand on his waist, a silver spear appeared in his hand.

The team stopped, and a bodyguard quickly ran forward, the steel knife in his hand unsheathed, and looked at Meng Xie and whispered a few words in the young man's ear.

The young man shook his head, jumped off the tiger beast, turned around and came to the sedan chair, bowed down and clenched his fists, and whispered a few words.

After a while, a Qianqiansu hand stretched out from the sedan chair and lifted the sedan curtain, and a jade girl wearing a red wedding dress walked out.

The jade girl's willow eyebrows and cherry lips, her skin is like congealed cream, and the festive red wedding dress on her body adds a little charm to her, and a pair of pretty eyes look around, but her expression is cold, and she seems to be a little unhappy.

"This is the Devil's Handling?"

Mu Jin looked at the surrounding woods, and he could feel an invisible evil aura, no wonder they all said that this was a fierce place, and many high-ranking officials and nobles met robbers and robbers here and died.

If it weren't for her father's disobedience, she would have to marry into the Zuo family in Qianzhou Town, maybe she would still be the carefree eldest lady.

Thinking of this, Mu Jin's mind couldn't help but think of his father's serious face and the few serious words last night.

"Jin'er, I don't want to be like this for my father, but now the situation in Liangzhou City is critical, the Zuo and Mu families will live if they are united, and they will die if they are divided, and only with such a relationship can the Zuo family and the Mu family be tightly tied together. ”

Thinking of his father's tearful face at the end, Mu Jin was also sad in his heart, maybe this is his daughter's fate.

If she were a man, it would have been a different scene, but in this world of male superiority and inferiority, she was only one of the many family victims.

Even seeing the place of Demon Hand Ridge made Mu Jin have a ridiculous idea, maybe being killed by those robbers was another relief for her.

Retracting his gaze, Mu Jin found Meng Xie on the side of the road and said "huh" softly.

The young man in front of him also looked at Meng Xie with his eyes, thought for a while, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, this person is just a post man, but he dares to pass through such a dangerous place alone, I am afraid that he also has something to rely on, we should be careful." ”

"On the rivers and lakes, there are several kinds of people even if they are alone, they should not be underestimated, the elderly, women, teenagers, and lone wanderers, generally these types of people have some unknown backgrounds or hole cards, otherwise no one dares to go alone in the rivers and lakes. ”

The young man's few words made Mu Jian look at Meng Xie a few more times, and he couldn't understand what kind of means were hidden in the thin figure of the other party.

Immediately, Mu Jin remembered something, and admonished the young man in front of him with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Don't call me sister-in-law, I haven't married Zuo Tianyu for a day, and I'm not from your Zuo family. ”

Mu Jin's words were not salty, which made the young man's expression look awe-inspired, but he quickly hid his expression, and no one noticed it.

At this time, Meng Xie's eyes also fell on Mu Jin's body, and he really couldn't understand why the good greeting team was so guarded, could it be that the other party was eloping?

"Please note that there are many ghosts and evil spirits here. ”

The system prompt in his ears interrupted Meng Xie's evil taste.

He also felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart about such a system, and along the way, the system prompt was still as angry as ever, either early or late.

Just like now, Meng Xie has obviously entered the Demon Hand Ridge, and the system's prompt is belated.

This **** system, sooner or later, he will make it completely obedient.

Just when Meng Xie was venting his dissatisfaction with the system, Mu Jin returned to the sedan chair, and the young man rode the tiger beast again, gently waving the spear in his hand.

A crisp sound sounded in the ranks, and the bodyguards all drew their weapons in their hands, turned outward, and looked around more vigilantly.

The welcoming team moved forward again, and Meng Xie stood under the big tree on the side of the road without moving, planning to wait for the welcoming team to leave before continuing to hurry.

The team walked about seven or eight meters, and suddenly there was a loud rumbling sound in the woods on both sides of the road.
