On the way back, Shen Kuang bought a map of Nanliang by the way.

Xia Xiu also had a map, but it was a sketch that his master randomly drew on parchment when he took his younger brothers and sisters down the mountain.

As can be seen from the map, Chaoping County, where the four people are now located, and Chunjiang County, where Xia Xiushimen is located, are both in the northernmost part of Daliang, adjacent to the Yangtze River, and across the river is the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The destination of their trip, Qiyun Mountain, is far away in Qinghui County in the hinterland of the central part of Daliang, and it is separated from Nanyang County and Linyao County by Chaoping County, and it is thousands of miles away from Chishan Town, where they are currently located.

Shen estimated that with their current foot strength, they could reach Qiyun Mountain before the opening of the Huaijiang Small World.

After Chishan Town, there will be no more large towns in a short distance, and there will be a big city until hundreds of miles away, Gansui City, which is also the county seat of Chaoping County.

On the way, Shen Guo asked Xia Xiu about the customs of Gansui City.

Xia Xiu smiled awkwardly, because he didn't know much about it.

He only knew that Gansui City was a veritable northern city, so it was very unusual, and as for the others, it was hearsay, and it couldn't be put on the table.

After the four of them returned to the inn, they each went back to their rooms, and after washing up, they were still the same, meditating quietly on the bed.

It's November, and this year's New Year is likely to be spent on the road.

The next morning, Shen was woken up by the sound of the street.

Before the sun rose, there were already a lot of small vendors along the street, and the more I listened to the noise in the market, the more I liked it, so I didn't feel like I was being woken up.

Shen Guo stood in front of the window for a moment, looking at the pedestrians coming and going downstairs, although the fireworks in the market are different, there is no hometown feeling here.

After a while, Shen Guo returned to bed to meditate, welcoming the trace of purple qi from the east.

After practicing and washing, Shen went downstairs refreshingly.

The solar term has reached winter, and the temperature today is very low, but it is nothing to Shen Guan and those who practice martial arts.

When Shen Jing went downstairs, the little girl Liang Wei was already waiting in the lobby on the first floor.

When she saw Shen Qian, she politely called Senior Brother Jiang Wei, which was still called by Xia Xiu Liang Wei and Shi Changyu, which was neither too close nor raw.

Hearing this, Shen Kuang smiled and waved his hand at Liang Wei and said, "Morning." ”

Liang Wei replied: "Senior Brother and Changyu haven't come down yet, Senior Brother Jiang Wei, we may have to wait for a while."

Shen Jing smiled and nodded, and then sat down at a table next to Liang Wei.

The innkeeper who got up early was carefully wiping down the tables, chairs and benches in the lobby, and the shrewd middle-aged shopkeeper hadn't gotten up yet.

After Shen Guo sat down, neither he nor Liang Wei spoke again, one didn't know what to say, and the other felt that he didn't need to say anything.

After a while, Liang Wei seemed to have mustered up enough courage, looked at Shen Jing and said, "Senior Brother Jiang Wei, can I ask you a question?" ”

Shen Jing, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes when he heard this, he turned his head to look at Liang Wei and said slowly: "If there is anything you want to ask, just ask, I will tell you if I know." ”

Liang Wei said: "Senior Brother Jiang, is your cultivation higher than that of Senior Brother Xia?" Much, much higher? ”

Shen Guo smiled when he heard this, he knew that Liang Wei would ask this question sooner or later.

However, Shen Guo did not admit it, but asked rhetorically: "Did you guess from the incident the night before yesterday?" ”

Liang Wei nodded: "Those few people, Senior Brother Xia will definitely not be able to deal with them alone." ”

Shen Guo smiled: "I have no confidence in your senior brother so much? ”

Speaking of this, Liang Wei also smiled: "Master said that the bottleneck of Senior Brother's Vientiane Realm is too deep and can't be broken for a while, so Senior Brother's ability and Changyu both know it." ”

Shen Guo smiled, Xia Xiu and the three of them were also interesting.

Liang Wei looked at Shen Jing after speaking, waiting for Shen Jing's answer.

Seeing this, Shen Guan smiled slowly: "You guessed right, I am already in the Returning Yuan Realm." So don't be afraid of bad people on the road in the future, with me and your senior brother here, you just have to take the opportunity to hone yourself. ”

Liang, who seemed to solve the doubts in his heart, smiled and nodded, the thoughts of the little girl's family often do not last long.

Not long after the two finished speaking, Xia Xiu and Shi Changyu came down from upstairs. Seeing that Shen Kuang and his junior sister were already waiting on the first floor, Xia Xiu smiled cheekily: "Changyu, this kid is lying in bed, he has slept, he has slept. ”

Shi Changyu glanced at his senior brother when he heard this, and the senior brother opened his eyes and said nonsense, not ambiguous at all.

However, no one pursued such a trivial matter, and even Liang Wei only said that the senior brother would end the matter by telling the master a sentence.

After leaving the inn, a group of four people embarked on the journey again in the morning sun.

After getting acquainted with Xia Xiu and them, Shen Jing slowly discovered that Xia Xiu really had an appetite for him, and the two of them had a faint tendency to hook up and back.

After leaving Chishan Town, the group walked through the official road and stepped through the mountains, but they never encountered any big towns again, and occasionally passed by a few mountain villas, and those villagers were also wary of them outsiders.

Shen also knew that the villagers must be on guard against those kidnappers.

In this way, the four of them walked for five days without hurry or slowness, and finally arrived outside the city of Gansu at noon five days later.

The tall walls of the city of Gansui are solid and magnificent, and from a distance it looks like a thick wall standing in the wilderness.

The four of them were all first-time visitors, and they were inevitably amazed by this scene.

Even if he has seen a big city like Qiuluo City and Kangzhu City, Shen Guan has to sigh at his majesty after seeing Gansui City.

What made the four of them a little strange was that the strict inspection of entering the city was a bit excessive.

Shen Kuang They didn't know what was going on, but they only knew from the other people in line that it was the Qin Cha Qin Lord who was about to rush to Gansu City, but even so, Shen Kuang still felt that there was no need to take them out alone like a robber.

After a heinously careful examination, the four of them finally entered the city of Gansui.

After entering the city, Xia Xiu, who also smelled something unusual, said to Shen Qian: "Brother Shen, I feel that the situation in Gansui City may be more than that. ”

Shen Kuang nodded when he heard this, "Brother Xia, do you remember what those people in Chishan Town said?" Since this Lord Qin is iron-faced and selfless and enforces the law impartially, I think it may be that someone wants to assassinate him, so he is so strict with the people of the rivers and lakes. ”

Hearing this, Xia Xiu agreed: "Then we can't stay for a long time, after tonight, we will leave as soon as possible, this kind of thing will not be easy to get rid of when it comes to the body." ”

Shen Guo also thought deeply.

Putting aside these deceitful things, the liveliness of Gansui City still deeply attracted the four people. This is the prosperity of a big city alone, and even Shi Changyu, who has always been silent, stretched his brows after entering the city.

The sun was particularly warm in the winter afternoon, and the four of them were still in a hurry to find an inn, so they walked along the streets.

There were still a few stalls on the side of the street, and Shen Guo saw that on one of the stalls, his grandson and grandfather were squatting on the side of the road and watching the guests come and go.

Grandparents and grandchildren are sold

Like some hunting in the mountains and some wild fruits, it seems that they have not opened today.

The four of them got closer and closer, and the child also noticed Shen Qian.

The child's gaze has never left Shen Jing, full of hope.

Shen Jing watched as he walked, walked to the stall and stopped and slowly squatted down.

When the old man saw that Shen Guo wanted to buy something, he hurriedly smiled and introduced Shen Kuang: "Son, what do you want?" All of my prey was caught yesterday in the mountains, and they are still fresh. These fruits are also a specialty of the mountains, so why don't you try one first? ”

The old man recommended Shen Guo hard, and after he finished speaking, Shen Guo smiled and picked up a fruit and tasted it, it was sweet and delicious.

It is not easy to pick this kind of fruit in the cold winter, so Shen said: "Old man, you wrap all these fruits for me, we are in a hurry, and it is useless to hunt these fruits." ”

Although Shen Guo only needed these fruits, the old man still wrapped them for Shen Guo with a smile.

"The guests have a good eye, the taste of the wild fruits in the Ten Winter Layue Mountains will not be bad, and these frosted ones will be even sweeter. Childe, take it, a total of half a tael of silver. The old man wrapped up Shen Guo as he spoke.

Hearing this, Shen Kuang took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it over.

When the little grandson on the side saw that his grandfather had received the money, he stood up with some relief and took two steps back and forth.

After Shen Guo took the fruit, he didn't have much of a greeting and left with a smile.

From beginning to end, Xia Xiu and the three of them did not speak.

It wasn't until after walking away that Xia Xiu took the fruit handed over by Shen Guan and tasted it before saying, "Brother Shen, you go through the rivers and lakes like this, you can't go far without any money." ”

Shen Guo knew what Xia Xiu meant, so he smiled and said, "I made the decision after looking at the kid twice, but this fruit tastes good, and the transaction is not a loss." ”

Some people's truths and some people's temperament are often revealed in these little things, Liang Wei and Shi Changyu, who are meticulously observed, have noticed these subtle movements of Shen Wei, Liang Wei feels that Shen Wei is more and more different from the original hero image in his heart, and it is more and more contrary, but Liang Wei still feels that this is a good change in his heart.

After walking a few more streets, the four of them found a random inn on a street full of inns and stayed.

The price of the inn in the big city is not cheap, but Xia Xiu felt distressed for a while, so he could only eat a few more fruits to express relief.

Before returning to the room, Shen Kuang told Xia Xiu that he would go out to buy some things in the afternoon, but Xia Xiu didn't dare to take his junior brothers and sisters out for a walk because of the unknown Gansui City, so he asked Shen Kuang to be careful alone.

On the official road outside the gate of Gansu City, a convoy walked slowly.

Qin Lang, a scholar of the Guanhua Palace in the official residence, secretly arrived in Gansui City, and the entourage was not large, and the protagonist this time was not actually him Qin Lang.

In the sedan car at the back of the team, a woman wearing a mink fur and a light green brocade skirt slowly opened the door curtain and looked at the scene outside the car.

In this team, there are only two sedans, one is Qin Lang's seat, and the other is the woman's seat.

The sedan was surrounded by accompanying guards, all riding tall horses with tall postures and long knives, looking less like ordinary people, more like well-trained guards.

Qin Lang took out a copper token from his arms and then shouted outside the car: "Take my token and inform Chaoping County Shouhe Lianyun, just say that Princess Changle has arrived." ”

After Qin Lang finished speaking, one of the guards at the front replied loudly: "Yes!" ”

After this person received the order, he took Qin Lang's token and went towards Gansui City one step ahead of the team.
