After Nian Shuiyin left, Xu Fan found the shopkeeper, took the medicinal herbs, and told him that although he was injured, it was still okay to decoct the medicine, and returned to the room in the shopkeeper's thanks, and told the other party not to bother if there was nothing important, and he wanted to retreat and practice.

The shopkeeper knew that these martial arts people meditated and practiced for several hours or even ten days and a half months, so after giving Xu Fan a clear look, he closed the door and went down to continue to greet the guests.

Xu Fan deliberately opened a hole in the medicinal herb bag, so that the smell of medicine in the room was overflowing, and it could faintly come out from the crack in the door, so that outsiders could be better paralyzed.

Nian Shuiyin went to the City Lord's Mansion, the woman was killed by herself, and the man couldn't contact her, and it was estimated that he wouldn't return to the inn in a short time.

Xu Fan now has the cultivation of the Grandmaster Realm, and he can't sit still.

changed into a slightly wide clothes and applied some ointment on his face, and Xu Fan's temperament changed in an instant.

This ointment is passed down by the Floating Cloud Sword Sect and is said to be able to achieve a simple disfigurement effect.

Xu Fan glanced at the bronze mirror, and sure enough. If you are not close to someone, others will not be able to see it.

At this time, he looked like a young man, with a slightly dull complexion, and he jumped down from the window with a latch on his door.

After walking out of the inn, I went to an armory shop and bought a long sword casually, holding it in my hand.

Originally, the long swords they carried with them were engraved with the word "floating clouds", and since they were disguised, they must not leave flaws.

Pishan Town is a little far away from Qingshan City, in order to reduce his leg strength, Xu Fan was lucky to catch a dart car to Pishan Town.

After talking, Xu Fan learned that although the Beiban was in a remote location, it still had some contacts with the Central Plains, otherwise he couldn't eat poisonous snakes and beasts.

The northern barbarians are bitter and cold, and they are not rich in grain, so there are still some merchants who are willing to take risks to trade with them.

Xu Fan's dart is the goods of the richest man in Qingzhou.

After walking for about half a day, Xu Fan saw the winding city wall in the distance, which was like a natural barrier firmly enclosing the Central Plains.

Bishan Town, arrived.

After Xu Fan thanked the dart, he rejected his proposal to invite him to dine together and left alone.

Although the town is vast, there are not many people, and you can't meet a few along the way.

The costumes on the people here are not exactly like the Central Plains style, and there are also some cumbersomeness of the Northern Barbarians.

Xu Fan ran into a person who wanted to inquire about the traces of the city defense army, but he didn't expect that the person would quickly flee after seeing him.

He didn't know why, but after looking for several people in a row, they all had the same result.

However, not everyone will run away, Xu Fan only understood why this was the case when he met an old man.

"In the past, we got along quite well with Beiman, after all, it was just across the river. Recently, there have been a lot of strangers, like young heroes, holding weapons, burning and looting in the name of asking for directions, and forcing some of the people here away. There are still some who remain, that is, they have families and mouths that cannot be separated for the time being, but they are also packing up and moving south at any time. ”

Xu Fan said in his heart, has the situation reached this point, he opened his mouth and asked: "Old man, aren't you afraid that I am also the kind of person you said?" ”

The old man smiled open-mindedly, there was only one tooth left in his mouth, and he said calmly: "Old man, I have lived to this age, the only beast in the family has never come back since he walked out of Bishan Town twenty years ago, and now I have nothing to worry about, what is the difference between dying today and dying tomorrow?" ”

Xu Fan blurted out: "Old man, one more day to live is a day." ”

The old man glanced at Xu Fan, his expression was a little flat, and he said, "If there is no concern in my heart, what is the point of living?" ”

Xu Fan was silent for a long time after listening to this, he thought of Lin Ru, thought of Li Haotian, Nian Shuiyin, thought of Zhang Min, and thought of those who cared about himself and the people he cared about.

After thanking the old man, he walked forward.

He learned from the old man that the number of the city defense army had arrived here a few days ago, and now he thought that he had crossed the Sui River and entered the territory of the Northern Barbarians.

The Sui River is a river about dozens of zhang wide between the Central Plains and the Northern Barbarians.

After walking a little further, Xu Fan also saw the cloth shop that sold Beiban clothes in the old man's mouth.

Because when the two places were safe and quiet before, they had to move around often and trade with each other, which also extended a lot of industries.

It is said that this cloth shop used to be very prosperous, but now it is much more depressed, and there are many people.

When he walked in, he saw a man and a woman busy taking care of it. The man's face is white and there is no need to look shrewd, and although the woman is wearing the clothes of the Central Plains, she can't hide the sallow yellow on her face.

This sallow is not the sickness of Xu Fan's weak physique since he was a child, but the skin color of the Northern Barbarians itself. Relatively speaking, the Central Plains people are outstanding and their complexion is always fairer.

"This hero has taken a fancy to something, and the small shop has everything."

The man came up and greeted him warmly.

Xu Fan pointed to the Beiban costume hanging and asked, "How much is this clothes?" ”

After hearing Xu Fan's words, the man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Daxia is going to go over?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the north with his hand, and when he saw that Xu Fan did not answer, it was regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

"It's not peaceful here now, the two sides are fighting, if the hero wears the Northern Barbarian costume to pass, I'm afraid it will be bad for the hero."

Although the man seemed shrewd, he could speak very well.

Xu Fan was surprised: "This big brother, with all due respect, I see that there is no one in your store for a long time, and after my business came, you not only didn't do it, but persuaded me to go back, why?" ”

The man smiled bitterly, glanced at the woman, and said truthfully: "A few years ago, the world was in turmoil, I fled all the way from the Central Plains, and came here. They are all turbulent people, thinking about persuading others not to accidentally lose their lives. ”

Unexpectedly, this man who looked shrewd was a warm-hearted person, Xu Fan was curious: "In this case, why don't you go to Qingshan City or even Qingzhou, it should be very stable there." ”

The man smiled bitterly and said, "I don't think so. ”

sighed helplessly, only to see the already shrewd man look at the northern barbarian woman, with a touch of tenderness and pity on his face, and said: "It's just that she went to the Central Plains with me, according to the current form, I am afraid that someone will be unfavorable to her." What's more, she didn't want to leave Beiban too far. ”

Xu Fan was silent, after all, there are still many ordinary people in this world, how many people can see it?

Beiban took the initiative to provoke, in exchange for the only daughter of the general Wang came in person and killed it directly, and how many innocent lives died under the sword in this war.

As the man in front of him said, isn't it good to have a stable life, why do you have to provoke a war.

After thanking the man for his kindness, Xu Fan still bought a set of Beiban clothes, changed them on his body, and spread his hair down according to the boss's words, plus Xu Fan himself smeared his skin.

"Hero, the way you are now, if someone says that you are not a Northern Barbarian, it is estimated that others will not believe it."

Xu Fan took off his clothes and put them in his baggage, and then stored them in this store. Knowing that the woman's brother was coming to visit them in the evening and to get some food, he rested here at their request.

In the evening, a northern barbarian knocked on the cloth workshop, and after a few words of concern with the woman, he left in a hurry.

"The warriors of the Celestial Empire are so brave that our people have no power to fight back."

In the eyes of the Northern Barbarians, whether it is Dashang or Da Yi, it is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire.

Xu Fan looked at this northern barbarian, with a round waist and thick shoulders, and he spoke in an urn voice, but he was a very honest person.

When he learned that Xu Fan was going to cross the Sui River to Beiban, he just nodded and agreed, and then took a small boat with Xu Fan to the other side: Beiban.

Xu Fan took out the silver and wanted to thank him, but he was refused, and he insisted on not wanting to.

In the end, Xu Fan learned from him that thirty miles north from this place had their Holy Sect rudder.

In the eyes of the Northern Barbarians, the Witch Religion is both the state religion and the Holy Religion.

But from this man's eyes, Xu Fan couldn't see any respect, but there was still a sense of hatred and fear.

Watching him park the boat on the shore, tie it with a rope, and after covering it with weeds, he smiled at Xu Fan and left, not worrying that Xu Fan would steal his boat.

In fact, Xu Fan thought about it a lot, and when Xu Fan took out five taels of silver as a thank you, he subconsciously thought that the other party was very rich. What he didn't know was that Xu Fan only had more than 20 taels of silver on him, or it was given by the sect when they went down the mountain, and the city lord's mansion sent another 1,000 taels of silver after killing Sang Chong.

Although it was handed over to Su He, he didn't expect Su He to give Li Haotian one hundred taels.

Therefore, Xu Fan brought some when he came out this time.

Originally, there was no need to take out so much, but through the mouth of the owner of the cloth mill, it was learned that his mother-in-law's family was very poor, and five taels of silver was enough for them to spend a year.

It's just that Xu Fan didn't expect this man who looks very honest on the surface, but his personality is very stubborn.

He rested on the spot for a night, and when the sky was just white, he got up and walked forward, and found the unique mark of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect along the way, indicating that the city defense army had walked through here.

However, in the process of following the mark, he found another mark on the tree next to him.

This mark is in the shape of a snake, and it appears together with the sword-shaped mark of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect.

Xu Fan's heart was shocked, it seems that there must be a traitor in the sect, I don't know if Li Haotian is okay.

However, after following all the way, Xu Fan found that the serpentine mark was divided into two paths, and continued to follow the Floating Cloud Sword Sect all the way, but all the way in the other direction.

He glanced up, following the direction of the Floating Cloud Sword Sect in the direction of the Witch Sect's rudder, but the direction of the other road was leading to a dense forest.

The miasma of the dense forest was like a dark cloud pressing down on the entire forest.

After thinking about it on the spot for a while, he decided not to follow the sect for the time being, but took out a black scarf from his arms, covered his face, and headed towards the dense forest.
