After dawn, an old man came running out of breath.

Uncle Lu didn't stop a step, and he didn't stop panting for breath all night.

Because the old man didn't dare to rest, they were two upright and green children! How can you just get in like this, use my old man's life for two children, and get it!

The old man gasped and looked up, and finally saw a donkey not far away, a young man in a green shirt lying flat on the ground, and a girl with a double ponytail sitting cross-legged.

Uncle Lu slapped his thigh, bent his body and hurriedly ran forward, shouting as he ran: "Child! Child! Are you all right? ”

When he got closer, Uncle Lu saw that the corners of Liu Guzhou's mouth were full of blood, his eyes were red in an instant, and he said in a trembling voice: "I said that I want you to leave me alone, why don't you listen!" Blame me, blame my old man, if I hadn't drunk and leaked, I wouldn't have done this. ”

The old man thought that Liu Guzhou was dead, and he was heartbroken for a while, and old tears flowed.

Longqiu Taoxi withdrew from the Huangting Palace and hurriedly spoke: "Uncle, he's fine, it's just that he's injured, he has already taken healing medicine, and he will wake up after a while." ”

The old man was still a little unconvinced, and it wasn't until he reached out to probe Liu Guzhou's snort that he let out a long sigh of relief and sat on the ground.

"I'm scared to death, it's okay, it's okay!"

The old man saw a giant tiger lying on the opposite side, and when he was old, he couldn't see it really, and thought it was alive.

Longqiu Taoxi smiled: "Uncle, don't be afraid, that's a dead tiger." ”

After a long time, the old man spoke: "King Pegasus is a tiger spirit? ”

Longqiu Taoxi shook his head and said: "No, that Pegasus King is a white horse Chengjing, and he has been beheaded by us, No, the horse's head is there." ”

The old man had to take the two of them back to Bolt Horse Town, saying that the two of them were the benefactors of the people of Bolt Horse Town, and he had to let the big guys know about it.

Longqiu Taoxi only shook his head, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you find some people to bring the tiger corpse back, eat it separately, you can leave some dried meat, and leave more for the children, this tiger essence of the golden pill has been taken out by me, the tiger essence blood is vigorous, although eating it can not play a role in prolonging life, but it can also strengthen the body." I still have to heal, you can rest next to you for a while, and Liu Guzhou will wake up immediately. ”

When Liu Guzhou opened his eyes, the old man who hadn't slept all night had already fallen asleep leaning against the tree.

The young man spat out a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and patted Longqiu Taoxi gently.

How do you know that the girl opened her eyes and glared over, "Little color embryo!" If you mess around again, I'll be anxious with you! ”

Liu Guzhou reluctantly transmitted: "While the old man is not awake, let's leave quickly, otherwise he will have to take us back to Bolt Horse Town later." ”

At this time, he was already in the west of Langke Town, and if he went down, he had to go northeast and towards Qiaocheng.

For qi refiners, the rivers and lakes within a radius of several hundred miles are really small.

Qiaojun has rainy seasons, high mountains and deep forests, and many large trees. It is said that in the early years, the Wei State occupied this place, and there was a large-scale logging, and then it was recaptured by the Song State and there was a ban on logging for more than ten years, until now, the Qi State has been founded for nearly 20 years, and there is still no intention to revoke the ban.

The front and back add up to nearly a Jiazi ban, so that now it is difficult for the two of them to be on a random mountain. There are many big trees that hug each other.

Longqiu Taoxi was sullen along the way, Liu Guzhou knew that it was because she had harmed others and lost a good sword, but she really didn't know why she lost a good sword.

There was no way but to give up and continue to trek through mountains and rivers, and instead took an official road on the border between the two countries, because Luo Ruji said that there was a small city ahead, which belonged to Pomu County of Qiao County, but it was not a broken wood of broken wood, but a rough place for the Wei people in the north to cut down the wood.

Liu Guzhou remembered that Aunt Qiao said that no girl is unhappy, if she is still unhappy, then buy more.

What's more, Longqiu Taoxi is still a money-grubber.

Along the way, Liu Guzhou's mind became heavier and heavier.

On this official road on the border between the two countries, there are almost no residents along the road, and there will even be bursts of foul smell every few miles, and there is no need to think about it, it is the rotting corpses of the border troops of the two countries.

Today is the ninth day of the fifth month, less than thirty miles away from the broken wood city, if it doesn't rain, you can get there at noon. But now that the rain is pouring down, Liu Guzhou can only enter the city before closing the city gate.

The road was muddy, Liu Guzhou only wore a hat on his head, took off his shoes and hung them around his waist, rolled up his trousers and walked barefoot. Longqiu Taoxi was holding an oil-paper umbrella, and the little white boots had become small mud boots, and she was angry when she saw Liu Guzhou at this time.

Little color embryo, obviously you can go faster, but he wants to go slowly, the most important thing is that I lost a good sword, you don't buy it after entering the city, your heart hurts, this girl wrote Longqiu upside down!

Liu Guzhou took a sip of wine and said helplessly: "Don't stare at me, I said it, my second uncle can cast swords, and he made the firewood knife!" Can't I go back and ask him to cast one for you? ”

Longqiu Taoxi snorted coldly, "It's different!" My sword is an ancient sword. ”

The young man was extremely helpless, and said in his heart, why is this girl like this? I haven't gotten it yet, so why is it yours?

But I don't dare to say that people are now Jindan monks, and beating themselves is like a joke.

"Then you say, how can you be happier?"

Longqiu Taoxi snorted coldly: "I'll be angry when I see you." ”

Liu Guzhou was not without temper, and said in a hurry: "Then you go, and no one will stop you." ”

The two looked at each other and disliked each other.

Longqiu Taoxi stomped his feet angrily, and his double ponytails swayed more than once.

"Ungrateful little pervert, this girl saved you twice, and you actually drove this girl away? Okay, it's okay to go, you pay me for the sword, you have to get that ancient sword. ”

Liu Guzhou pouted, "Then you return the pill you ate to me, I am a Baodan, Lao Luo said that it is worth it." ”

Longqiu Taoxi lost her umbrella and jumped over and splashed Liu Guzhou with mud, the girl gritted her teeth and said: "My sword has never been touched by a man, how can you compensate me!" ”

Liu Guzhou sighed, turned his head and faced Longqiu Taoxi, "My firewood knife is still new, and I haven't touched it for the woman, you can also compensate me if you have the ability!" ”

Luo Rujian didn't have a stubble at all, and said in his heart that he was a teenager, how could he be the same as a child squatting at the door of the house and quarreling in open crotch pants?

One said you ate my bun, and the other said you drank my porridge.

The more noisy the two became, the closer they became, Longqiu Taoxi hit Liu Guzhou's head head, the two noses to noses, and said in unison: "No, fight!" ”

As the words fell, the air became quiet, and both of them could feel each other's warm breath.

Luo Rujian let out a donkey bark, and the young girl instantly retracted her head, turned her head separately, and ignored anyone.

It's just that the face of the back is exactly the same, and it is red to the base of the neck.

After walking for a few miles, the rain gradually subsided, and the smell of blood filled the air.

It had to be Luo Ruji who was the first to speak, and he said in his heart: "There are people hiding on both sides of the road, and there are more people on the north side, there are thirty people, it should be the scouts of the two countries, and we have entered the battlefield." ”

This year, the two countries have only deployed their own troops on the long border, and there have been few major battles, but the battlefield between the scouts has never disappeared.

Liu Guzhou said: "Little money fan, let's just assume that we don't know anything, just chat." ”

Longqiu Taoxi didn't take it seriously, so he spoke: "Where are you going after you arrive at Broken Wood City?" ”

Liu Guzhou said with a smile: "I haven't been to Qiaocheng since I grew up, first go to Qiaocheng, and then return to Lanke Town, when the time comes, I will ask my second uncle to recast a sword for you, and my second uncle's cooking is delicious." ”

Longqiu Taoxi snorted coldly: "Who wants to go home with you?" ”

The two frowned at the same time, and Liu Guzhou said in a deep voice: "Don't make a move." ”

Immediately stepped to the left side of Longqiu Taoxi, only to hear a few swishing sounds, and a few broken arrows fell beside the two of them.

One team wanted to shoot Liu Guzhou and the others, and the other team protected the two.

Several light armor ghosts sprang out, all holding short knives and crossbows on their arms.

The five of them huddled together, like a human shield in front of the boy and girl.

The first middle-aged man said in a deep voice: "Hurry up." ”

Someone on the other side said: "Catch alive." ”

On the opposite side, several black armors drilled out of the dense forest, and several people were surrounded in an instant.

The leader said in a deep voice: "What are the two little children running around, don't you know that this road is not allowed to go?" Now, you're going to be here with us. ”

A young man with a scar on his face smiled and said, "Look at these two children, one with a shoulder knife and one with a back sword, maybe they can help us." ”

It's almost a certain death, but these people can still laugh.

Liu Guzhou only asked, "Why did you want to save us?" ”

A man said: "Listen to you, I know that you are from Rotten Kezhen!" The border army of Qi does not protect the people of Qi, what is that called. ”

Liu Guzhou only felt that something was stabbed in his heart, and he was suddenly a little ashamed.

Because from childhood to adulthood, Liu Guzhou didn't regard himself as a Qi country at all, but only felt that he was from Rotten Kezhen.

The young man took off his firewood knife, jumped up, and slashed out in mid-air, and the muddy road was suddenly cut into a ravine.

Liu Guzhou said in a deep voice: "I don't kill people, but I want to leave, if you want to stop me, you can try." ”

Turning his head, Liu Guzhou smiled and said, "The five generals saved my life, how about I invite you to drink?" ”

None of the thirty people on the other side dared to move, who dared to move?

Leaving the battlefield, he was outside the broken wood city before dark. But the five border scouts did not dare to enter the city.

Liu Guzhou was puzzled: "Why don't you dare to enter the city?" ”

The leader said with a wry smile: "I have a grudge against the general in the city, he is a fifth-grade general, I am only a six-rank captain, and now I am still a captain with only an empty title, and I will inevitably eat him when I go back." ”

Liu Guzhou took out a token and said with a smile: "It's okay, you show this token to the general, just say, just say that the owner of this token is my worker, if he doesn't know him, you let him show it to his immediate boss." ”

Regardless of whether the general knew it or not, he hadn't seen this middle-aged man anyway.

The young man smiled and said, "It seems that the wine is no longer drinkable, so you should go to the general first." By the way, if he is going to find the owner of the token, he will bother him to bring a word, just say that Liu Guzhou asked him to wait in Qiaocheng. ”

Walking into the broken wood city, Liu Guzhou suddenly asked: "Is there a dynasty with prosperous national fortunes, the imperial court can enshrine the gods of mountains and rivers, and the gods can protect the people, similar to the painting of the mountain and the Pegasus River, there will be a lot less?" ”

Longqiu Taoxi nodded and said softly: "It's almost, but the premise is that there is a court that the people want." What do you ask have to do with your token? ”

Liu Guzhou nodded, "It's okay, it won't be long before the south will change the name of the country again, fortunately, there shouldn't be any bloody storm, stuffy gourd said that as long as he is willing, he will go straight to Jiankang to become the emperor." The country name is all I thought, called Liang Guo, because when he asked me, I looked up and saw Fang Liang. ”

What is this? When the emperor is joking?

Longqiu Taoxi said tentatively: "It's your family again?" ”

Liu Guzhou nodded, "Yes, but it's relatively unfamiliar, he is a long-term worker in the inn, and I only came here when I was five or six years old." ”

Longqiu Taoxi became more and more curious about the inn, and after all, what kind of inn was it, he went upstairs and joined the road, and killed the swordsman on the eleventh floor to become the bookkeeper. The refining master from the Longtan lineage actually became a cook. There is also a strange person who refines Baodan in an iron pot, is he an innkeeper? The person who can change the dynasty in one sentence is the innkeeper?

Liu Guzhou suddenly said: "I hope that after this guy becomes the emperor, he will not become a monk at every turn." ”

Luo Ru said in his heart that this is really hard to say, Xiao Lian's cultivation of Buddha can be seen by him, it is a demonic shock.

Longqiu Taoxi suddenly turned his head and grinned: "Little color embryo, open your money bag!" ”

The girl threw the saber to Liu Guzhou, jumped to a ready-to-wear shop with her hands behind her back, and came out for half an hour, almost emptying half of the shop.

When he went out, he brought three hundred taels of silver, and this one cost ten taels.

But Liu Guzhou really doesn't care about this, anyway, the family has money, otherwise how could he buy Qingxing Mountain? So as long as Liu Guzhou is willing to spend it, it will never hurt.

Liu Guzhou was carrying a terrifying burden, and asked with a smile: "Longqiu girl is happy to buy?" ”

The girl blinked, put her thumb and index finger in front of her eyes, and pouted, "Where is this?" Hors d'oeuvres, a pinch. ”

From morning to evening, good guy, he almost stuffed Liu Guzhou's wine gourd.

At last they were tired of shopping at night, and the two sat under the eaves of the street, the girl smiling, and the young man drinking.

The girl suddenly said, "Liu Guzhou, do you still remember that Uncle Lu in Bolt Horse Town?" ”

Liu Guzhou nodded, "Of course I remember, what's wrong?" ”

The girl snatched Liu Guzhou's wine gourd and took a sip lightly, the young man's eyes widened, and he didn't wipe the gourd's mouth in his heart.

"You owe me a sword, so you can't give this wine gourd to the woman to drink in the future."

Liu Guzhou rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, where is this?

Longqiu Taoxi wiped her mouth and asked, "Why haven't I heard you mention your father?" ”

Liu Guzhou said with a smile: "I haven't been full moon yet, my father and mother are dead, and it was my Aunt Qiao who carried me to Ranke Town to raise me." I don't even know what they look like, how can I mention them? However, Aunt Buckwheat said that this wine gourd was left by my father. ”

Both of them were silent, the young man had no father, and the girl's mother was gone, and her father didn't care about her at all.

Longqiu Taoxi said softly: "When I first went out, I thought every day that my father would come to me, especially in the first month, I deliberately only wanted my father to come to me thousands of miles away from home, but he didn't come." Later, I thought, if he doesn't come, forget it, at least send someone to find me, right? It still didn't come. Later, I left Shenlu Continent in anger, and walked farther and farther, and slowly I didn't think that anyone at home would come to me, and I never thought about going home. ”

Liu Guzhou said with a smile: "Isn't it that since you asked Uncle Lu about your own business, you have also started to feel homesick?" ”

Longqiu Taoxi nodded, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said in a low voice: "I am very sad that I have no mother, especially sad." But my dad isn't less sad than me, is he? That's his favorite person. ”

Liu Guzhou nodded, "Of course, he will definitely be very sad." ”

The girl returned the wine gourd and said softly: "That's good! When I go to your house and forge me a sword, I'll go home. ”

Liu Guzhou secretly took a sip of wine, his face flushed, "Okay!" ”

Longqiu Taoxi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Do you have any other enemies?" ”

The two of them stretched out their hands to face forward almost at the same time, and a sword aura slashed through Leng Buding, and the girl's left hand and the girl's right hand were cut out at the same time.

Liu Guzhou stepped in front of Longqiu Taoxi, and said in a deep voice: "I don't have any enemies?" ”

Longqiu Taoxi frowned and said, "It's already gone." ”

The girl looked at the scratched palm, slowly raised her head, and cried coldly, saying that it was not an exaggeration to look up to the sky and howl.

It can scare Liu Guzhou, but we haven't seen this meeting! What's wrong, why are you crying all of a sudden?

The girl shook her arms and cried, suddenly raised her hand, choked and said, "I have suffered a big loss!" ”

Liu Guzhou looked at his left palm and was stunned for a long time.

I didn't cry when I was so seriously injured before, so I lost my wound, why did I suffer a big loss?

"No, my hand is also broken, isn't this a loss for you!"

will not coax, Liu Guzhou is in a hurry on the side, there is really no way, so he has to ask Luo Ruji.

Luo Ru laughed angrily: "Do you think I'm a donkey and have seen this meeting?" ”

There was no way, Liu Guzhou had no choice but to take Longqiu Taoxi to buy things again, and clean up the only thirty taels of silver that were left.

Now I don't cry anymore, I just keep pouting.

Until the next day, the little aunt was still crying.

Walking out of the broken wood city, Liu Guzhou couldn't help but ask, "What happened last night?" Do you know the man who scratched our hands? ”

The girl coldly pulled out Liu Guzhou's left hand, but as soon as she saw the scar, she wanted to cry again.

Longqiu Taoxi pouted and said, "Don't count!" ”

Liu Guzhou was confused, and could only let out a long sigh.

Longqiu Taoxi spread out his palms, and the two openings were tightly connected into a straight line.

"I don't care, I don't count anyway."

Luo Ruji, who was in the rear, suddenly realized, and said in his heart that this is the case!

The girl squatted on the side of the road with her ponytail and said to herself, "Oh, it's annoying! ”

……

In mid-June, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the vestments worn by Liu Guzhou were warm in winter and cool in summer. Longqiu Taoxi changed into a dark green long skirt and stepped on lotus-colored low-waisted embroidered shoes.

Longqiu Taoxi is sword has long been lost to Liu Guzhou, saying that Liu Guzhou is her sword attendant when she walks the rivers and lakes, and is responsible for carrying the sword.

In the past month, Longqiu Taoxi has been like a little master, but he has not been less instructive of Liu Guzhou's sword moves. has the foundation of martial arts to open mountains and rivers, and Liu Guzhou is naturally very quick to learn moves. Not to mention, if you go back to the battle with the white-fronted tiger, the two will never fight so hard.

In fact, the reason why Liu Guzhou walked so slowly was because he wanted to open up the Huangting Palace immediately when he returned to his hometown.

In the middle of a mountain stream, there was a stream less than nine feet wide, and the boy and girl took off their shoes and put their feet into the water, one swaying his legs, and the other wading vigorously with his feet.

Longqiu Taoxi grinned: "When I was a child, I liked to fish barefoot in Taoxi in the summer, and my mother would always prepare a water tank for me to hold fish. Once I touched a lot of fish, put them at the door and forgot them, and when I remembered them, the little fish had already turned white, and I cried all day, the kind that can't be coaxed like this. Later, my mother gave me this sword, so I stopped crying. ”

Liu Guzhou looked at the unsheathed long sword placed aside, and said softly, "This is what your mother left for you?" Didn't you say I was the first man to touch it? Your dad hasn't touched it? ”

Longqiu Taoxi shook his head, "No, I also have a hot head, don't think about it." ”

The corners of the young man's mouth rose slightly, and then he said with a smile: "I'm different from you, I was raised by Aunt Buck, and she was a big girl when she carried me to Ranke Town, a good-looking woman who didn't accept the town's proposals, and a little boy with her, so she was inevitably gossiped about." So when I was a kid, I fought at every turn. At first, I fought a group, and then there were three people in a group. In fact, except for Aunt Qiao, Uncle Jiang, Second Uncle Hu, and Third Uncle Song, they are all the closest people in my heart. Uncle always likes to brag, of course, now I know he's not bragging. But he's the one who stands out for me the most. The old gentleman in the private school is like a long-tongued woman, and he always likes to say that I am the uncle who ran to beat the old master, and the old master in the private school said less. ”

After a pause, Liu Guzhou said in a low voice: "He said that he wanted to get back the sword character in his name, it's been half a year, and I don't know if I've gone home." ”

The young man suddenly turned his head to look at Longqiu Taoxi and asked, "Is there any place where I can find out about the affairs between these monks?" ”

Longqiu Taoxi subconsciously said: "Yes, there are almost every larger city in Jiuzhou in the world. Just like the Di newspaper published by the imperial court today, any major event will be published and then sold for money. ”

Liu Guzhou's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "Is there Qiaocheng then?" ”

Longqiu Taoxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he had to say vaguely: "Yes, but it's hard to find." ”

The young man turned his head and shouted Luo Ruji, he couldn't even wear his shoes, and said anxiously: "Let's hurry up and go to Qiaocheng, I want to ask the uncle for news." ”

Luo Rujian said in his heart: "Auntie, what should I do now." ”

Longqiu Taoxi replied: "But he will know sooner or later." ”

The two rode on donkeys, and the journey of dozens of miles was not long enough.

There have been people waiting for him in Qiaocheng for a long time, it is estimated that it is Xiao Lian's person, but Liu Guzhou ignored it, and only said let him wait, he has something to do.

Liu Guzhou pulled Longqiu Taoxi, looking for inns and restaurants one by one, but he didn't find the Xianjia Inn until dark.

There is a river in the city, and a stone arch bridge is erected over the river.

Liu Guzhou walked to the end of the bridge, and Longqiu Taoxi was still here.

The girl suddenly shouted: "Liu Guzhou! Look no further. ”

The young man turned his head, his eyes puzzled.

Longqiu Taoxi said softly: "Three months ago, Senior Jiang asked Jian Yu Jingtian for the third time and cut off the arm of the heavenly man at the highest place in the world. He turned his head and spat at the highest heavenly gate in the world, and said a word of bullshit. Afterwards...... After that, someone came down from the gate of heaven and also cut off the arm of the senior Jiang with the sword, and nailed the senior Jiang to the gate of heaven. ”

I thought that Liu Guzhou would be angry, at least he had to roar angrily, why didn't he say it earlier.

As a result, the young man standing at the head of the bridge took off the wine gourd with trembling arms, drank a large sip of wine, and missed a small half.

Liu Guzhou squeezed out a smile and said hoarsely: "Alive? ”

Longqiu Taoxi nodded, "Alive, but I have to suffer ten thousand swords piercing my heart every seven days, and I can only let Jiang seniors leave after three hundred years." ”

Liu Guzhou said in a trembling voice: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." ”

After another sip of wine, the young man's brow furrowed.

"Where is Yu Jingtian? Twelfth floor, is it tall? ”
