Chapter 42: Peach Blossom Dock

In the hazy morning light, there was no one in the Qi family.

Li Chengtang led Ran Jingjing and flew outside the gate, and saw two horses parked outside the door, and the horses were still hanging with packages. secretly thinking that Qi Zhuoran was thoughtful, so he and Ran Jingjing galloped away.

At that time, Quyang City was still asleep. A layer of mist shrouded the quiet streets, and the crisp sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone slabs shattered the mist like a wisp of smoke.

Li Chengtang took the lead and led Ran Jingjing out of the city gate, recognized the avenue, and galloped directly to the north.

To the north of Quyang is Mozhou, Mozhou is close to Youzhou, and the festival of Youzhou is An Lushan. Li Chengtang thought that although the "Procuratorate" had infiltrated heavily in this place, it should be slightly reduced after approaching Youzhou. He planned to divert from Mozhou to the south, which could not only avoid the surveillance of the "Procuratorate" but also disturb the sight of the "Procuratorate".

After listening to Qi Zhuoran's analysis of his grandfather's statement, he concluded that there would be a conflict with the "Procuratorate" in the future, so he couldn't turn his attention to the Ran family too early. Can't let grandpa know that the Ran family is his power.

Shangguan Chi is nominally a member of the "Procuratorate", but in fact, he is already standing on the same line with him in his heart, and Li Chengtang is very relieved that he is there.

The two galloped for hundreds of miles in one breath, and when they saw that it was almost noon, they stopped when they were sleepy and tired.

The breeze blew, and the field was empty, with no figure coming behind. In front of it is a mountain col, and the fragrance of flowers wafts from the col.

Ran Jingjing gasped, and her face was bleak. Her true qi has not recovered, and she has galloped all the way, showing her fatigue.

Li Chengtang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, took out the porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out an antidote for her to take, and then said:

"Jingjing, let's take a rest here! You've worked hard all the way. ”

Seeing that Li Chengtang cared about herself, Ran Jingjing wiped the sweat stains on her forehead and gave him a smile, "It's all Jingjing's drag, and Brother Li has also worked hard." ”

At this point, it was close to April.

The sun shone on his body at noon, and Lai Yangyang was a little hot. Thinking of what happened last night, Li Chengtang not only blushed a little. I feel sorry for Ran Jingjing, but the matter has come to this point, and I am helpless, only to be better for Ran Jingjing. Let Ran Jingjing rest and protect her by herself.

Taking advantage of this stall, Li Chengtang checked the package. In addition to the clothes, there were also dry food and some coils in the package, and I sincerely appreciated Qi Zhuoran's carefulness in my heart.

But at this time, Qi Zhuoran was enduring the whipping of the "Procuratorate", although he was already the chief administrator, he still could not be pardoned.

When Yu Yang, the master of the door with the word "earth", arrived in Quyang, it was a quarter of the morning. At that time, it was estimated that Li Chengtang was already fifty miles away, and Qi Zhuoran did not dare to delay for a moment, and reported the news of Li Chengtang's escape.

He told Yu Yang that because the subordinates obeyed the door master and wanted to treat the little sect master well, they drank too much wine during the lunch banquet, and he was negligent for a while and fled the room and was searching the whole city.

Yu Yang was furious when he learned about it, and wanted to take him back to Xingchen Island to let the sect master fall, but Ayiyi and others tried their best to testify and intercede, saying how Qi Zhuoran was conscientious, and because he confessed that he wanted to treat the little sect master well, he ordered a hundred lashes to forgive him. Later, he explained that Qi Zhuoran expanded the scope of the search, saying that the little sect master would not go far with Miss Ran, and that he would lay out the search on the way to Ran's house.

Qi Zhuoran followed Yu Yang's explanation and did a good job of eyeliner one by one along the way, but he didn't know that Li Chengtang didn't go south at all.

Ran Jingjing took the antidote, ran the true qi for a week, and recovered some vitality slightly. Li Chengtang brought water and dry food and handed it to her and said:

"Mr. Qi was careful, prepared soft and dry food for us, and we ran all morning, and we didn't eat breakfast, so we ate a little first, and then looked for something delicious in front."

Ran Jingjing was indeed thirsty and hungry, took the water bladder and took a sip of water, watched the horses eating the newly sprouted spring grass on the side of the road, and sighed, "The horses enjoy it better than us, we are actually chased like this by our own people, I really don't know what your grandfather thinks." ”

She didn't know the conversation between Qi Zhuoran and Li Chengtang, and she couldn't guess the ultimate purpose of the "Procuratorate", and she was upset about him, the little sect master, while eating.

Li Chengtang didn't know how to explain, so he had to change the topic, "Jingjing, how do you feel about your body after taking the 'True Qi Dispersion' antidote?" ”

Without waiting for Ran Jingjing to answer, he told her that he was going to Mozhou and then transfer to Weizhou, and then told her, "After the body recovers, we will continue to hurry!" ”

Ran Jingjing looked at Li Chengtang and said:

"I feel that the true qi can't be completely condensed, it is estimated that it will take another day, Brother Li seems to have recovered, when did you take the antidote?"

Li Chengtang pondered for a long time, knowing that she must also wonder why Chief Qi let them go, but she couldn't explain the matter of men and women. had to say that Qi Yu stole the antidote to her in advance, and was bumped into by Qi Zhuoran, and then Qi Yu threatened with death, so they were able to escape.

After hearing this, Ran Jingjing smiled, "Brother Li is full of blessings, every girl likes you, it seems that she will not marry you." There was a sour taste in the words.

Li Chengtang sighed, knowing that this was something that could not be avoided. Ran Jingjing said comfortingly: "Jingjing is not a vinegar jar, Brother Li can rest assured, it would be good to have a few more sisters." ”

A burst of floral fragrance blew, Ran Jingjing sniffed, she was suddenly in a good mood, "This season, where did the fragrance of flowers come from?" After speaking, he swept towards the col along the fragrance of flowers, but the word "tangled" was still written on his face.

Li Chengtang hurriedly packed up his dry food and luggage, led two horses, and chased after Ran Jingjing.

Seeing her enter the mountain pass, Li Chengtang shouted: "Jingjing-" The voice went out, but there was no response. Li Chengtang was anxious, afraid of an accident, so he hurried over.

Turning the col, a large peach blossom forest appeared in front of you. In this season, peach blossoms bloom all over the valley. The red is like fire, the pink is like the glow, and it is beautiful.

Only Ran Jingjing is missing.

Li Chengtang saw an old farmer weeding at the mouth of the valley, so he asked, "Old man, did a girl enter the valley just now?" ”

The old farmer pointed to the peach blossom forest, "It's in the forest." ”

Li Chengtang suddenly put his mind at ease and secretly thought: Women are born to love peach blossoms, and entering the peach blossom forest may make her feel better. He saw that Ran Jingjing was quite hostile to Qi Yu, and knew that she was in an unhappy mood, so he was no longer in a hurry to catch up.

So, he continued to ask the old farmer: "What is the name of this place, and where is it from now on, can the old man tell me?" ”

The old farmer put down the hoe in his hand, wiped his sweat, and replied: "This valley is called Taohuawu, in front of it is Tang Village, and further forward is the junction of Mozhou and Yizhou, where are you going, young man?" ”

Li Chengtang thanked the old farmer, "I'm going to Mozhou next." Then he walked towards the peach forest.

The old farmer watched him enter the peach grove and said loudly: "There are immortals in the peach blossom dock, young man be careful!" ”

Li Chengtang's heart tightened when he heard it, he hadn't seen Ran Jingjing's voice for so long, so if something had happened, he quickened his pace and walked towards the mountain pass.

When I entered the mountain pass, I found that the vastness of this peach blossom forest was not exhausted all over the mountains. Li Chengtang shouted Jingjing, and the valley echoed, and he didn't see her answer for a long time.

He was even more anxious, so he tied his horse to the tree, jumped to the top of the tree, and looked around. Faintly, a few kilometers ahead, there is a courtyard in the shadows.

Li Chengtang didn't dare to slack off, lifted his breath lightly, and stepped on the peach blossoms and swept towards the house. The peach blossoms flew all the way, and in a moment, Li Chengtang had come to the front.

It was a wooden house building with the words "Peach Blossom Realm Ruins" written on the door. Seeing the word "Jingxu", Li Chengtang was nervous for no reason, it wouldn't be so coincidental, I hope it's just a coincidence of the name.

He didn't dare to make a mistake, so he calmed down, held his breath, and flew into the courtyard.

The yard is not big, and it is clear at a glance.

Li Chengtang flew towards a rockery, and as soon as he hid his body, he heard Ran Jingjing's angry voice.

"What if you arrested your aunt and grandmother, Brother Li is not with me! It's useless for you to kill me! ”

"Huh... Ha... Ha! The old man is not looking for that little cub to take revenge, An Lushan has been recruited to Chang'an, my plan has been revealed, what's the use of looking for that kid! ”

It's really Nangong Qingwu's voice, I'm really afraid of something. Li Chengtang secretly thought in his heart, this old boy will enjoy it, and there are his realm ruins everywhere.

I only heard Nangong Qingwu continue:

"The old man is already a lot old, and he can't wait to find time to start an incident, and now that the old boy who is lonely and boundless has gotten the 'Dragon Sword', then your Ran family's 'Flying Sword Trick' will belong to the old man, girl, if you can say the content of the 'Flying Sword Trick', maybe the old man will let you go!"

Ran Jingjing said angrily: "You old thing, you have the name of a god, but you do everything you can to bully the little girl, you have the ability to let me go, let's fight again!" ”

Li Chengtang thought to himself, it seems that they have already fought, and I can't beat him, why should you fight him.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Qingwu seemed to have changed into a different person, and there was no anger at all. I only heard him say: "It's useless for you to provoke the old man, the old man has already seen it, and now it's useless to fight for the world again, unless you give me the 'Flying Sword Technique'." ”

Ran Jingjing said coquettishly again: "My aunt doesn't know what the 'Flying Sword Technique' is, even if she knows, she won't tell you that this old man doesn't cultivate!" ”

only heard the sound of "pop", it is estimated that Nangong Qingwu slapped Ran Jingjing, and Ran Jingjing made a "hmm".

Li Chengtang couldn't hold back anymore when he heard this, and jumped out and shouted:

"Old thing, the master is here, don't be angry with a woman, hand over Ran Jingjing! Let the master meet you! ”

I saw a white shadow flashing, and Nangong Qingwu had already gone from the house to the outside. Ran Jingjing shouted in the house: "Brother Li, run away, don't worry about Jingjing, this old thing doesn't dare to take Jingjing!" ”

Nangong Qingwu smiled "hehe", "You kid is really here!" ”

Li Chengtang said angrily: "Old thing, you let go of Miss Jingjing, how about you and me fight again?" ”

Nangong Qingwu shook his head and said unashamedly: "Although you ruined the old man's plan and killed the old man's junior brother, now the old man only needs the 'Flying Sword Technique'!" ”

Li Chengtang's long sword flew by, like a peach blossom splashing down, stabbing towards Nangong Qingwu.

Nangong Qingwu blocked with his sword, forced Li Chengtang back, and said: "You and I are both in the realm of grandmasters, but my swordsmanship is higher than yours, you can't beat me, it's still too late to escape." ”

Li Chengtang put away his long sword, he couldn't beat this guy with ten successful strengths, and now only ninety percent is really helpless. I had to think of something else!

After thinking for a while, Li Chengtang said: "Since the predecessor wants the 'Flying Sword Technique', how about I persuade her to give it to you?" ”

Nangong Qingwu heard this, "Why do you want to help the old man?" "Bow your head into a contemplative state.

Taking advantage of Nangong Qingwu's hesitation, Li Chengtang immediately secretly transmitted the message to Ran Jingjing and said a good countermeasure.
