Time flashed, and it was early spring in February.

The banks of the Qingjiang River are full of greenery, birds and butterflies frolic among the flowers, and even the fierce horses passing by the road occasionally come to the blooming petals to smell the breath of spring.

At the junction of Liangzhou and Yazhou, caravans come and go on the official road, two horses and a carriage stop outside the stone pavilion engraved with 'Yazhou boundary', and in the pavilion stand three chivalrous women in different clothes, and the big fluffy bird is standing at the top of the pavilion overlooking the ferry market.

In the distance, next to the Qingjiang ferry, Night Terror Hall disembarked from the Black Flag Gang boat, holding a letter in his hand.

After resting for two days in the Winter Styx Mountain, because the Snow Lake Flower had not yet been handed over to the imperial court, the Night Terror Hall was a tool man for a night, and then set off the next day, pretending to be a dart master again, pressing the Snow Lake Flower in a carriage, and turning back towards the Guannai.

The injuries of the Night Terror Hall have not yet been completely healed, with a cart of snow lake flowers, they don't dare to stay too much on the road, and they are also standing guard in shifts to rest, so naturally they have no chance to make a big mistake and sleep together, and when they return to the Guannei, the four of them relaxed a little and returned to Honghe Town first.

Night Terror Hall knew that Sanniang and Yunli had arrived in Honghe Town, but when they went over, they heard from Uncle Song that after Sanniang learned about his incident in Tianlang Lake, he thought that in order to sell the stolen goods as soon as possible, he went directly to Jingjie City, and went to Yazhou after waiting for a day.

Night Terror Hall did have something important to do, so after giving incense to his father-in-law, he didn't stop, and set off directly to Yazhou, walked to the junction of the two states, and received the latest information from the Black Flag Gang.

Night Terror waited until it reached a sparsely populated place before opening the letter and looking at it.

The letter was written by Hu Yanjing, the boss of the Black Flag Gang, explaining the recent events, such as the dissolution of the White Owl Battalion, the merger of the remaining troops into the 12 institutes of Yanjing, and the fact that Cao Aning and others had gone to Yanjing and so on.

Night Terror Hall still has to find Mingshentu, and he will definitely have to go to Yanjing in the future, and it is quite unexpected to face this sudden news.

After thinking for a while, Night Terror Hall took out the fire fold and lit the letter, so as not to accidentally lose it and expose the dark pile, and then returned to the stone pavilion.

Dongfang Liren ran out this time, first fought fiercely in Tianlang Lake, and then went to the Xihai Capital to rob the prison, although he didn't see the Night Terror Hall kill the martial saint with his own eyes, but as the prince of the Great Wei Jinzhi Yuye, it was enough to participate with him for a lifetime.

At this time, Dongfang Liren stood in the stone pavilion, looking back at the northwest side plug, and sighed with emotion, but also felt a little pity in his heart, after all, her martial arts were too bad, and it was estimated that she couldn't beat Xiao Yunli, and it would be difficult to continue to participate in this magnificent experience in the future, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but complain:

"Master, you taught me the moves back then, if you were so careful to 'teach by word and deed', I wouldn't still be a little grandmaster at the bottom now......

Xuanji Zhenren stood with a sword in the pavilion, her white dress moving with the wind, and from a distance, she looked like a cold woman with a cold sex than Ning'er.

Hearing the complaint, she shrugged her shoulders slightly:

"If you learn martial arts, and you have learned posture and spirituality, now you are all half-step-eight, a cloud fourteen hands, you haven't learned it for a year, what can you do as a teacher?"

“……”

Dongfang Liren took a breath, causing the fat head to bulge, but what the master said was also the truth, my sister was thorough at all, she couldn't understand the hand-to-hand teaching, no wonder the master didn't care, in order to save face, he added:

"Sister is not the same, practice a word to dye a few large tanks of water black, and in the end it is still a ghost drawing, much dumber than me......"

Fan Qinghe sat in the pavilion, with a red veil on his face, dressed as a Shazhou beauty, with gold ornaments in his hair bun, he looked charming and charming, but his eyes were a little different, and he was secretly muttering - this master and apprentice are really thick-skinned, this is embarrassing to say......

A few days ago, Fan Qinghe came to the walled city, Fan Qinghe opened his eyes, he never thought that a woman could ride on a man's head to spread wild, the man was not angry, and even the three of them could be stacked together.

Fan Qinghe didn't know how that ridiculous night came over, and he didn't slow down until now, and he didn't dare to interject in these shameful things. Seeing the night terror returning, she got up and said:

"How? Shall we take the water road or the dry road? ”

Night Terror Hall laughed when he heard this, but he didn't ridicule Qinghe, came to the outside of the pavilion, caught the bird and rubbed it:

"Everything is peaceful in the pass, there is no situation, I just found a fast boat at the ferry, walked along the Qingjiang River, crossed the Broken Dragon Terrace and turned into the Huanshan River, no accident will be able to arrive at Jingjie City tomorrow night."

Xuanji Zhenren walked out of the pavilion and held the charcoal red horse:

"You're at the bottom of the martial saint now, thank God if you don't meet you when you go out to outsiders, what accidents can you encounter, let's go."

After the night terror hall ate Tianlang Zhu, the qi veins were expanded by the medicinal strength, and as the injury gradually recovered, the body was indeed tamped, and at present, there was probably a level of Zuo Xian Wang not taking medicine, and he could be regarded as a martial saint goalkeeper, and now the entire Great Wei could deal with him, and it was Lu Taiqing and Shenchen Monk, and Bingtuo Tuo Tuo might not be able to win him steadily.

But the tree is very popular, he killed King Zuoxian, and he obviously has the background of unifying the western frontier, and Beiliang can let him live well, unless his brain is in water.

Although the possibility of the Northern Liang Wusheng entering the customs to assassinate him was very small, the Night Terror Hall was not negligent, and first took the boat out of the ferry port to the riverside, and then put the carriage on the deck.

The clipper boat found at the ferry port is a small merchant ship carrying cargo, with good space on the front deck and a warehouse below, while the living ship building is at the stern, with only two small cabins for shelter from the wind and rain on the boatman's road.

The snow lake flowers snatched in the Xihai Duhu Mansion have all been dried and encapsulated, and they are also half a catty box, leaving two boxes for the Winter Hades, and there are still thirty boxes currently carried, that is, fifteen catties.

Although there are not many things, a large wooden box can be filled, but these things are too valuable, and Night Terror Hall is still very cautious, and after carrying them to the ship, they are directly placed in front of the bedside.

Xuanji Zhenren traveled north and south all the year round, whether it was driving a boat or driving, his skills were perfect, and at this time he pulled up the sail on the deck, while Qinghe used a long pole to push the boat away from the river bank.

Dongfang has been away from people since childhood, there is no maid in front of him, most of the time he can only be responsible for beauty, and after holding hands next to him to no avail, he can only hold the same responsible for selling cute birds, standing at the bow of the boat.

When the sails were swollen into a semicircle and the ship began to move downstream, the Night Terror Hall came out of the cabin:

"The things are put away, you guys take a shower first, I'll catch a few fish, there's a small kitchen in the back, I'll cook something for you later."

Along the way, several people were eating dry food, hurrying with heavy treasures, and they didn't stay in the hotel, the three daughters' house was indeed a little uncomfortable, and they didn't say much at the moment, Qinghe brought a wooden barrel and ran to the boat building to fetch water and bathe.

Most of the people who run merchant ships are men, and even if they want to take a bath, they just jump into the river and take a dip, and there are no bathing equipment on small merchant ships.

In broad daylight, the three women could not have jumped into the river to take a wild bath, but only washed in the small room of the shipbuilding, and the water could flow outside through the opening in the corner.

After the three women had begun their work, the night terror hall came to the stern of the boat, let the bird take the helm, and when the boat had gone off track, he took off his robe and plunged into the spring river, bathing and swimming with the boat, looking for fish in the water.

Night Terror Hall was born in the arid Liangzhou, the water nature is not superb, but it can't stand the high martial arts, like the white stripes in the waves in the water for a while, they caught a big river fish more than three feet long, jumped out of the water, landed on the stern, and began to kill fish and scrape fish scales in the eyes of birds and birds.

Rub rub rub~

And just when the night terror hall was busy, in the room behind the sound of splashing, some words suddenly came out:

"Demon girl, how do you look like a little girl who hasn't grown up? I have a ...... with the departed Did you shave it yourself? ”

"Shizun has been like this since he was a child, and so is my sister, I used to think that I was different from people, but later I took a bath with the Queen Mother, and I found out that they were different from people......"

"Uh-huh~ Is it good-looking?"

"Cut~ What's so nice about this......"

"Why don't I draw something for the master later? Plum blossom peony or something, it's definitely nice to dot on it......"

"Whatever flower you draw, just write two words for her, 'force, force' or something......"

"Poof......

……

The words of slapstick came into his ears, although he deliberately suppressed his voice and spoke very softly, but the strength of the Martial Saint of the Night Terror Hall, how could he not hear it.

Night Terror Hall was still thinking about the follow-up situation, but after listening to two sentences, he began to be distracted, put down the knife and washed his hands, let the bird scrape the scales by himself, and quietly got up and entered the shipyard.

"Twitter?"

Night Terror slowly walked to the outside of the small room, pushed the door open slightly, and glanced at it.

The room was not big, and at this time the three girls stood in it, pouring water from the wooden bucket on each other, helping each other scrub it, and the eyes were full of the moon, and they didn't know where to look first.

As soon as the door of the Night Terror Hall was opened, the three women who were making a fuss noticed it and turned their heads at the same time.

Fan Qinghe hurriedly stopped talking and hid behind the demon girl as a shield; Dongfang Liren turned red, and quickly hugged his chest:

"Color, who let you in?!"

And Xuanji Zhenren is doing everything as usual, looking back and saying:

"What, you want to wash together?"

Night Terror Hall definitely wanted to wash together, but the room was too small to stand at all, he just said:

"I just washed it, just come over to see if you have any instructions, do you want towels? Shall I bring it in for you? ”

Dongfang Liren didn't dare to let the Night Terror Hall in, but after running for so many days, it is estimated that the body of this color embryo is also suffocated, and he doesn't have to run around by boat anyway, so he immediately pushed the master out:

"Shizun has washed it, you help her wipe it."

Xuanji Zhenren is very self-aware, but he didn't dare to be the first to resist the output, and with a twist of his waist, he pushed out Qinghe who was hiding behind him.

"Huh?"

Fan Qinghe was caught off guard, and before he could react, he was pushed out of the door and hit the man directly.

Night Terror Hall raised his hand to catch the watery Qinghe, afraid that she would catch a cold, so he held the moon with his hand and picked it up, and walked into the cabin next door:

"Come on, I'll wipe it for you."

"Huh? What are you doing in broad daylight......"

Fan Qinghe was stunned, where would she believe the nonsense of a man who helped her wipe her body, her face was red and her ears were red and she writhed and struggled:

"I'm a doctor, you said don't mess around, don't believe your words, right? Believe it or not, I'll go back to Winter Styx now......"

Night Terror Hall carried Qinghe into the house and took a towel to help wipe his body:

"How can I not believe in my words, and I haven't done anything, just wipe it off for you, and stand ......"

"What haven't you done yet? I'll do it myself, don't you ...... Oh ~ where did you wipe you? ……”

"Hehe......"

The four of them fought like this, and the light boat went down the water and quickly disappeared at the end of the river......

……

——

Hundreds of miles away, Jingjie City.

As the capital of northern Xinjiang, Jingjie City is Tianmen Gorge outside, which has been an important military town since the dynasties, and the imperial court has hoarded a large number of main forces here.

As the gateway of the northern and southern dynasties, there were a lot of caravans during the Taiping period, so the city was huge, and it was smaller than Yun'an.

In previous years, the commander of Yazhou was Wang Yin, the prince of Zhenguo, that is, the maternal uncle of the empress and Wang Chihu's father, who was in charge of all military and political power in Yazhou.

However, after the empress came to Yazhou, these rights were naturally handed back to her niece, Wang Yin personally put on armor and went to Tianmen Gorge to supervise the army, and the empress stayed in the palace in the city and began to be busy with various affairs to inspect the army.

After the beginning of spring, the situation between the north and the south became difficult to fathom, not only the northern Liang could not figure out whether the empress was fighting or not, but even the border army of the southern dynasty was not clear.

Because of the strict management, the night has just fallen, the majestic city located between the mountains, there are few people on the street, only the brigade of soldiers and horses are left to patrol along the street, and the palace in the city is brightly lit, it can be seen that many Yazhou officials go in and out, reporting on border affairs.

In a street market in the west of the city, because it is in the downtown area, there are still many people on the street, and among the teahouses and restaurants, idlers can be seen gathering together and whispering secretly:

"King Zuo Xian died at the hands of the Duke of Yeguo, such a big thing, how could Beiliang swallow his anger, I estimate that there will definitely be a fight......"

"Yeguo Gong is the orphan of King Tianlang, killing King Zuoxian is revenge, Beiliang ran to clean up the Western Xinjiang and it is reasonable, beat our Dawei, I'm afraid it's a little crazy......"

……

In one of the bazaar's inns, a humble pony carriage is parked in the backyard, covered with oilcloth, and looks like it's just a cart of miscellaneous items.

On the second floor of the inn, Xue Baijin stood at the window in a brocade robe, looking at the distant palace, and listening to the words of the idlers around him.

In the room, Luo Ning was sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking like she was meditating and practicing, but she was holding the 'Longtan tourmaline' in her palm, silently thinking about the thief who had just met and had not yet made love.

Thundered~

After a moment of silence, a spring thunder suddenly sounded above the sky.

Luo Ning opened her eyes, came to the back of Bai Jin and looked outside:

"It's raining, is it okay for the carriage to stop outside?"

The carriage in the backyard was filled with snow lake flowers that Xue Baijin snatched back later.

Although the 2,000 cavalry scattered into the ice field, it was not easy to chase at all, but it could not withstand the wolves in the north and south rivers and lakes.

Those Jianghu people who didn't dare to provoke King Zuo Xian found that the Night Terror Hall was involved in the main force, so they had the courage to come up at that time, and began to chase and intercept on Tianlang Lake, and robbed a lot of Xuexue Lake flowers.

And Xue Baijin ate it all in black and white, not only robbing King Zuoxian's soldiers and horses, but also participating in the treasure hunting of the rivers and lakes, and snatched back more than 20 boxes in one night.

Although the number is not much, she snatched back ten catties by herself, which is already amazing, originally she still wanted to chase it to Hudong Road, and she didn't leave a single hair for Beiliang.

But this move was too risky, and if it bumped into Xiang Hanshi and others, he had to explain on the spot, and finally followed Ning'er's advice to accept it when he saw it, and returned to Jingjie City.

Seeing that Ning Er was worried, Xue Baijin said:

"It's just a batch of medicinal herbs, sealed in a jade box, and covered with an oilcloth, where will there be a problem. Even if there is a real problem and some losses, it is because the night terror hall is too slow to come back, no wonder we didn't keep it well. ”

Luo Ning knew that these snow lake flowers could not fall into the hands of the Pingtian Sect, but the thief was so desperate, she couldn't help but care, so she ran down and carefully checked the carriage.

Although Xue Baijin was casual, he never leaked anything in his work, and it was impossible to check the problem, so he didn't help Ning Er at the moment, and continued to listen to the words on the street.

But before Ning Er finished checking below, a burst of words on the side of the street reached the ears of the two through the falling spring rain:

"Miss, Sanniang said don't run around at night, you sneak out, what if you meet a bad person? Let's go back to sleep......"

Ping'er? Xue Baijin was slightly stunned when he heard this, and turned his eyes to look in the direction of the street.

And Luo Ning, who was holding an umbrella to inspect the carriage, also raised his head, with a little more surprise and displeasure in his eyes, and then he was about to go out to discipline Yunli, who was a street slicker at night.

But before Luo Ning could take two steps, he suddenly heard a faint and resentful delicate voice, coming from the spring rain:

"The sound of the rain is shattered, and the dream is first awakened, and the shadow of the flower shakes the waning moon and half a court. The red plum blossoms as before, and the cold window is alone to remember the old people......

"Brother Jingtang's safety is uncertain now, how can I sleep? Alas~ I knew that I would be so frightened, I should have followed Brother Jingtang in Jiangzhou, and it was better to be sad and sad here......"

？

Luo Ning's footsteps paused slightly, her eyes showed incredibleness, and her voice sounded like Xiao Yunli, but the tone of this young girl with a spring and the words of Wen Xuan, could it be said by her family Yunli?

Not to mention Luo Ning, even Xue Baijin tilted his head slightly and was stunned.

Luo Ning was full of doubts, thinking about flying up, landing on the wall on the side of the street, and looking at the street with Bai Jin.

As a result, when I raised my eyes, I saw that in the dimly lit market, two girls came together.

Ping'er Svenwen followed behind, holding an umbrella in her hand, and was trying to persuade the young lady to go back.

In front of her is a weak scholarly lady, wearing a white top, a pink fairy skirt on the lower body, a combed hair of Si Swenwen, her hands folded on her waist and the lotus steps moved slightly, the willow eyebrows seemed to be frowning while walking, and the eyes seemed to be happy or not.

？？？

Luo Ning was stunned, and didn't dare to confirm who this girl was, until she saw the young lady under the umbrella, and her eyes kept looking at the storytelling shop and barbecue stall on the street, and she confirmed that this was their apprentice!

Although I think it's a bit pretentious, but Yunli is like this now, it is indeed more pleasing to the eye than the previous wild girl, that is, what she said is wrong.

Luo Ning thought about it and flew up, landed in front of the two, and said:

"Yunli!"

"Hiss——!"

Zheyunli, who was looking for a supper, suddenly heard the voice of the master, and trembled with fright, and the scholarly temperament was also broken on the spot, recovering the eccentricity of the weekdays, quickly standing upright, and turning back to make a look of joy:

"Huh? Master, why are you here? ”

Luo Ning came to him with an umbrella, looking at the cloud glass that showed its original form, and didn't know what to say. She frowned and asked:

"What were you talking about?"

“……”

When Zhi Yunli heard this, she knew that the sassy words just now had been heard by Shi Niang, her expression was slightly stiff, and she explained embarrassedly:

"I'm just worried about my cousin's safety, so I talked nonsense, don't take it seriously, ...... teacher"

"What's that poem about?"

"I memorized the books all day long, and I read them out casually, which shows that I have done a good job in my homework recently, right, Ping'er?"

"Uh......"

Luo Ning blinked, feeling as if it was the same, the strangeness in her heart disappeared by three points, and she didn't pursue Yunli anymore, and said:

"Yes, I can recite poems, but my daughter's family, some things still can't be said casually, what if people misunderstand?"

"Hee-hee~ I'm just talking nonsense in private, don't get me wrong."

"Hmph...... Sanniang is also here? Where is she? ”

"Aunt Pei is over there in Xishi, I've been here for a few days, this is the first time I've gone out to hang out, but I didn't expect to be bumped into by my sister as soon as I went out. Do you want to go over and have a look? ”

Luo Ning didn't believe that Yunli was running around for the first time, because there was nothing to do with Bai Jin, so he said immediately:

"Your master is on the second floor, go up and have a look, I'll go to Sanniang's side for a walk."

Zhi Yunli was relieved, nodded hurriedly, and ran into the inn.

And Luo Ning looked at Yun Li, who was already a big girl, and her heart was a little complicated, and after seeing the two of them enter, she sighed secretly and ran to the West Market to string up the door......
