Chapter 68: The Mouth of the Green Bamboo Snake

The carriage and horses, Zhao Ling and his party walked on the starfall plain, compared with the time of departure, it can be said that it is not miserable, seventy percent of the people have died.

Wu Yan rode on the horse, holding the sleepy Chu Ji. The child is impatient with long marches, and it is inevitably a little difficult to trek for days.

Three days ago, Wu Gen and the others had left the ruins of Wentianzong, preparing to cross the Starfall Plain and go to Guanxi City.

Thanks to Chu Ji, he could see those evil spirits, and he didn't encounter any danger when he came down the mountain. It's just that when he was about to go down the mountain, he counted the number of people and found that there was one person missing, it was the middle-aged man who was good at wielding double swords.

After searching for a long time, he found that he was dead in a stone chamber, still holding an ancient long sword in his hand. It is estimated that this person hid when he was searching the mountain, hiding here, trying to retrieve it secretly, but he was attacked by evil spirits, and his soul has been destroyed.

According to it, this has something to do with Yun Ming, who made him kill two flying swords. Looking at his corpse, everyone had to sigh an old saying that people die for money, birds die for food.

When they arrived at the bridge, they had the experience they had experienced, and they either threw the aura into the lake, or cast spells to attract the monsters, and narrowly passed through the stone bridge.

At the entrance of the cave, a group of people swarmed out, intent on leaving this ghost place earlier. It's lifeless, monsters are rampant, and it's no longer human. Before coming out, Wu Gan took off the token, so that these monsters would not escape from this place and endanger the world.

The entrance cave slowly disappeared, and the Wentian Sect, which had disappeared from the world for many years, disappeared again, and finally became another speck of dust in the long river of time.

Seeing this scene, everyone was also embarrassed, no matter how brilliant a sect is, it is difficult to withstand the changes of the world. On this huge starfall plain, how many secrets have been buried in the fields of Songhaicang.

Leaving Wentian Sect, everyone rested in place, but Zhao Ling and his party left far away, wary of each other. Only Wu Gan finally relaxed and fell asleep to recover his tiredness.

I slept until midnight, but I was woken up by a crow. Under the understanding, he escaped outside by urinating, and under the guidance of the crow, he saw Yun Ming waiting alone.

Wu Yan yawned, "Yun Great Alliance Master, what's the matter with calling me over at night, if you don't sleep well, you will get wrinkled." ”

Yun Ming looked at Wu Gan, who was full of fatigue, and smiled lightly, "Brother Wu is really relaxed, I'm afraid that there are not many people who sleep soundly tonight, but you sleep in the dark." ”

Wu Yan sat on the ground, "It's you and Zhao Ling who can't sleep, I don't have anything to lose, and I don't worry about others coveting it, so I'm very relieved." Tell me, what's the matter, I have to go back to sleep. ”

"Although I see that Brother Wu is tired, he is righteous in his heart, and I don't know if you are willing to join my Zhengling Alliance." Seeing Wu Yan shaking his head, Yun Ming waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be busy refusing first, and listen to me."

Brother Wu was born as a pawn, and he has no foundation, and he became a Chinese man by chance, and it is very difficult to come forward.

As for this Zhao Ling, although this person is of noble birth, does Brother Wu really dare to take this woman as a fear. This person has a lot of plans, is decisive, unscrupulous, and can give up anything for what he wants, not to mention a brother who is just a middle-aged person.

I can't say that one day in the future, Brother Wu will be like a dead entourage along the way, and Zhao Ling won't even look at it. Is it really reassuring to follow such a person? ”

At this point, Wu Gen admits that Zhao Ling, a noble person, can put down his body and tempt himself as a middle-aged person, and even a person who can give away his own body, what should he not give up.

Seeing Wu Yan nodding, Yun Ming continued: "Although my Zhengling Alliance is still weak, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers with various countries has increased day by day over the years, and the total number of soldiers in various places is not the population of a country. In time, sooner or later, the Zhengling Alliance will be proud of the world.

I see that Brother Wu has special abilities, if he can join the alliance, he has his own world to display, so why bother to live under a woman's pomegranate skirt. And if you join the alliance, I can give you the position of the incense lord right now, and you only need to listen to my orders in the alliance.

Of course, I know that Brother Wu is also a high-minded and arrogant person, and he can't even look down on nobles, let alone a small incense master. But the Zhengling Alliance is in its infancy, and it will grow stronger in the future, how can it be compared to a nobleman. ”

Looking at Yun Ming's shining eyes in the dark, Wu Gen sighed, "The Yun Alliance Lord's kindness Wu Gen has grasped it, but you also know that Zhao Ling made me have to bite when he took a hook, which is to give Chu Ji a noble identity." At the beginning, her grandfather trusted me so much, and handed over Chu Ji to me, so she couldn't be displaced with me, and finally found a stable place for her. ”

Yun Ming pondered for a moment, "I'm afraid that this hook won't be able to take off if it bites, with Zhao Ling's temperament, if you don't trap Brother Wu to death, I'm afraid you won't stop if you squeeze the last drop of oil." It's better to let me find a stable home for Chuji in a big city in Zhao and live a peaceful life. ”

It is said that what Yun Ming said is indeed right, as soon as he enters the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, and there is intrigue between nobles, Chu Ji, a little girl who does not know the world, is not played with in the palm of Zhao Ling's hands. After a long time, I still don't know what will become of the future.

It's just that you are simple-minded, if it is really for the great cause of the soldiers, those abandoned people in the dark valley who are poisoned by the fog and are dying, how can they not see you to help. And those crow pawns have been transformed into such a way and become their own thugs, and I haven't seen any pity from you. In terms of human nature, compared with Zhao Ling, it is only half a catty.

Wu Yan smiled lightly, "Let's take one step at a time, let's let Chu Ji settle down first." ”

Yun Ming was a little disappointed, but quickly changed his face and said: "It's okay, Brother Wu has his own fortune in his heart, so I won't say much." However, the Zhengling Alliance has always reserved the position of the incense master for you, and if there is disharmony or unfettered, you can come to the alliance again. ”

As he spoke, he took out a crow-shaped bronze talisman, "This thing is a token of the incense master, if Brother Wu has a heart, he can re-enter the alliance with this thing, if he has no intention, he will throw it away." ”

Speaking of which, Wu Jian couldn't shirk it anymore, and reached out to take it. Seeing that Wu Gen did not refuse, Yun Ming was also pleased, but he started a family routine to bring the two closer together.

From the conversation, Wu Gen learned that these crows in Yunming were a kind of alien beasts, and like the black cat in Zhao Ling's hands, they were naturally sensitive to obscurity and fog, and they liked to eat foreign beasts containing obscurity in their bodies, and they were mostly raised by the soldiers to reconnoiter and fight against aliens.

As for the origin of the crow pawn, Yun Ming kept silent, thinking that it was also some means to see the light. After a conversation, the two parted ways and went back to their respective camps.

On the starfall plain, the horse jolted, and Wu Yan withdrew some divergent thoughts. It had been two days since Zhao Ling and Yun Ming parted ways, and the team headed straight to the east.

Chu Ji in his arms didn't know what good dreams he had, and giggled. Wu Gen smiled slightly, there is finally someone who needs to be taken care of by himself, this feeling of being needed is a little weird, but also a little sweet.

Zhang Yuan urged Ma to follow and walked side by side with Wu Gan, "But you don't plan to go back to Dingyuan City?" ”

Wu Yan nodded, "You also know the grievances between the third prince of Qin and me, if you go back to Dingyuan City, it will just be a net, it is better to go out and break through, and there will be no other opportunities."

It's just that after I left, I asked Zhang Tunchang to help take care of Mo Xin. In addition, there is a guy who sells smuggled salt, named Baoxiang, if it is convenient, please take care of it. ”

Zhang Yuan was almost speechless, Mo Xin was just fine, and letting an official and soldier take care of the smuggled salt seller was not equivalent to letting the official take care of the thieves. It's just that the separation is imminent, and this kind of thing is really unspeakable, so I have to agree against my will.

looked at the carriage in front of him, and said in a low voice: "That woman be careful, don't get too close to her, this kind of person is inconsiderate of his subordinates, and he is a figure with a needle on the tail of a green bamboo snake and a wasp." If you stay with her, you're going to be sold someday.

If you have the status of a nobleman, you can go, and you don't have to be attached to power. Otherwise, since she can give it, she can also take it, which is equivalent to choking your life. ”

Wu Gan's heart is warm, only this kind of life and death brother can really consider you, "Thank you." ”

Zhang Yuan's mouth pouted, "Thank you, I can't help much, I think about my own way." As he spoke, he dismounted with his legs between his legs and turned around and left.

On the way back, there were not many waves, although there were some dangers from time to time, but in the eyes of everyone who had experienced strong winds and waves, it was just to increase the fun of the journey.

Zhao Ling always shrunk in the car, contemplating the classics he brought back.

Xiang Qi walked around with Wu Gen a little more, and although there were bumps along the way, it was a friendship.

After more than 20 days, there was gradually more grass and trees in front of it, which also meant that the convoy was about to walk out of Xingluo Plain.

On this day, it was still early, and the convoy traveled to the foot of a mountain, and a pool of secluded springs in the middle of the boulders was clear. Zhao Ling ordered, the convoy rested on the spot, took out the wine stored in the car, and drank it for himself.

Along the way, everyone was nervous, and they were all relieved to see that they were out of danger. Thinking about the companions who died along the way, in addition to the sadness, I can't help but feel some relief for the rest of my life, so that I drank a little too much wine.

It's really not good to drink wine, hug a wine jar, cry and laugh, and drink when you catch someone. I didn't expect this guy to look upright on weekdays, but after drinking, he was so profligate, hugging Wu Gan and talking about a brother endlessly.

When she was helpless, the maid hurriedly came to find Wu Gan, saying that she had something to discuss. Wu Yan hurriedly pushed away Xiang Qi's drunken face and took the opportunity to get rid of the other party.

The maid took Wu Qian all the way, crossed the carriage, and arrived at the secluded spring.

Seeing the looming figure in the water from a distance, Wu Gan's heart tightened, and he quickly stopped. The maid urged repeatedly, saying that the lord had something important to discuss.

Since suffering a loss, Wu Gan has been apprehensive about this, where can he dare to step forward.

Zhao Ling's voice came faintly, "Wu Gan, Lord Ben Weng summoned you over, do you still want to disobey your orders." Do you know that Qin Junshou can easily end your life, and so can Lord Ben Weng. ”

In desperation, Wu Gen had to cautiously come to the place where he was more than ten steps away from the spring, and he didn't even dare to look at it, and buried his head deep in his chest.

"Hehe, I'm still a decent gentleman. That's it, I won't embarrass you. Zhao Ling sat in the water, taking the gold leaf placed on the shore from time to time and looking through it.

Listening to the sound of splashing, Wu Yan was a little distracted.

"I am the daughter of King Jinchun, and this time I went to Starfall Plain on my father's orders, although it was a little thrilling, but I finally fulfilled my mission. When I go back this time, I will help you get the noble man's Ding book, and that little girl has won a monstrous wealth for nothing.

As for you, be my personal servant. If you do a good job, it will not be a problem to find an official position in a few years. Would you like to? Zhao Ling turned his back to Wu Yan and said eloquently, listening to the discussion, but there was no refusal in his tone.

King Jinchun? After thinking about it, Wu Jian finally agreed.

With a bang, Zhao Ling stood up from the water, walked in front of Wu Gan, and raised a hand, "Change clothes for me, the so-called private ministers, naturally they also have to serve the lord of Ben Weng." ”

On the slender jade shoots, the bright nails are like impatiens blooming. I have to admit that this woman is indeed the best color in the world.

Wu Liang's heart was like a mess, so he had to bow his head and take a plain white gauze robe from the maid's hand, and drape it clumsily on the delicate snow.

Just as he was scorching, Zhao Ling suddenly spoke: "You know how to use witchcraft. ”

Wu Gu, Wu Yan couldn't help but be stunned.
