Since the departure of Yijian Villa, it is close to May. In the mountains in this area of Qianzhong, there are birds whining from time to time, and there is the sound of apes calling at night.

The short-shirted young man had walked several times, but he was not surprised, but Jiang Yanlin, who was walking beside him, was very timid.

Whenever he heard the sound, his whole body began to look around in a panic. Lin Manliu said loudly: "Yan Lin doesn't need to worry too much, even if the tall ape roars endlessly, it won't easily appear in front of people..."Jiang Yanlin shrank his head and nodded hurriedly.

"When I came here before, I actually heard it... But I didn't really hear it then, and I wasn't afraid now..."The young man in the short shirt calculated the distance of the two of them, and raised his hand to the northwest.

"We have been traveling for many days, if I remember correctly, we can go to Jianmen Pass for another while, and it is safest to enter Jiannan first and then enter southern Xinjiang!" Hearing this, Jiang Yanlin hurriedly nodded and applauded.

"Listen to Brother Liu! Go to Southern Xinjiang earlier! Taking this opportunity, Lin Manliu looked at the northwest direction and continued to speak.

"I'm quite familiar with the guard brother at the Sword Gate Pass, and it will be convenient to clear the customs at that time, and then we won't rest, and go straight to that line!" Before the short-shirted young man finished speaking, he immediately noticed the change in Jiang Yanlin beside him.

There was obvious panic and uneasiness on his face, and even his breathing became a little rapid.

"Guard," Jiang Yanlin muttered. Lin Manliu pretended not to hear clearly, and asked out loud: "What's wrong with you?" But feeling unwell? Jiang Yanlin hurriedly shook his head, he looked at the short-shirted young man for a long time, and then said softly.

"Brother Liu... Can we take a detour..."

"There are many mountains and mountains around, and it is most convenient to enter Jiannan..."Lin Manliu said tentatively.

Jiang Yanlin didn't respond immediately, looking at his expression, he didn't know if he was entangled or afraid of something. After a long time, he spoke: "Brother Liu, can you not disturb those soldiers, I'm afraid..." At this point, Lin Manliu had some conclusions in his heart, so he no longer said anything to test Jiang Yanlin.

From Fang Cai's words, one more guess can be made. When parting outside the city of Hangzhou, Jiang Yanlin was surrounded by Ye Chengzhu and did not kill, if he was assigned by the Yanyang court.

That time, he appeared here alone, which may also have something to do with it. If you want to protect Jiang Yanlin's safety in the future, and you also want to ensure yourself, you need to avoid contact with Yanyang officers and soldiers as much as possible.

After meeting with the owner of Lu Zhuang, the party in southern Xinjiang informed him of the news, and then left as soon as possible!

After all, Yijian Villa will have contact with the Snow Marquis in the future, and will have contact with its Liaoyuan Army after the fact.

Moreover, if he returned to the Buried Sword Valley at this time, or took Jiang Yanlin to the east again, it would inevitably cause him to be suspicious.

At this time, he was only a little more jealous in his heart... Let it be frightened again, this road will definitely not be easy, so you have to take it to meet with Yijian Villa first, which is the best choice.

The short-shirted boy was relieved, raised his hand and pulled the reins and shouted.

"It's not too early, let's hurry up and enter the customs as soon as possible!"

"Good! Brother Liu! Lin Manliu and Jiang Yanlin walked for about three hours, resting several times during the period.

Most of the latter felt that the road was too bumpy, and shouted that they should not stop and rest for a while. At first, the short-shirted boy also agreed, and rested together in the forest.

But he called too many times, and Lin Manliu only had to say that it was almost there, and asked him to wait. Halfway through the line, Jiang Yanlin really couldn't hold on.

He opened his mouth and said, "Brother Liu... Can you rest for a while, my hands holding the reins are no longer obedient..."Lin Manliu glanced back with some hatred, and was about to stop his horse.

The boy in the short shirt thought about it, and he shouldn't have taken care of his mind like this.

"If it's late, the Jianmen Pass will be more closely guarded, and it will be difficult to pass at that time..."The young man's words sounded, like a blind fierce medicine straight into Jiang Yanlin's mouth.

He was still miserable before, and immediately became like a chicken blood, holding the reins tightly with both hands, and soon rode to Lin Manliu's side.

"Brother Liu, then it's better for us to enter the customs quickly!" Lin Manliu looked at this scene and nodded helplessly.

In this way, the two of them finally entered the Sword Gate Pass before the sun set in the west. Even if he entered the pass like others, the Xia Ming cicada behind Lin Manliu always attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers of Yanyang.

Although the blade of the sword has been wrapped in strips of black cloth, the appearance of the sword still makes people curious. When several Yanyang officers and soldiers approached, fortunately, Lin Manliu's reminder made Jiang Yanlin pretend to be calm as much as possible.

Otherwise, the two of them may really be left behind for interrogation. Fortunately, there were quite a few caravans entering the customs, and those few people glanced at them casually, and continued to investigate the incoming goods.

After the two walked away, Jiang Yanlin dared to gasp. He said: "It's really dangerous, when those people came over, I thought we were going to be detained..."Lin Manliu said with a smile: "Now that we have successfully entered the customs, don't worry about that!" But in the heart of the short-shirted boy, there were many doubts.

Even if his memory is not good, or if there are more guards at the gate, it should not be that he doesn't know anyone.

And the Yanyang soldiers who were in charge of patrolling just now wore heavier armor than before.

Obviously, the soldiers who are now stationed at Jianmen Pass have all been replaced. The self-proclaimed one of Mr. Mo before

When the disciples of "Jiuzhao" served as the guards of Rongcheng, they only sent additional inspectors. At this moment, all the people have been replaced, will it have something to do with the snow marquis going south?

Lin Manliu was still thinking about the changes, and Jiang Yanlin beside him shouted.

"Brother Liu, will you spend the night in the forest tonight like the other day?" The short-shirted young man shook his head and said loudly: "There is a place in front of Xujia Village that I have been to before, but I can go there to spend the night and ask the villagers to exchange for some food by the way!" Hearing that there was no need to sleep in the mountains tonight, Jiang Yanlin couldn't help but feel a little excited.

He had already started to snap his fingers and began to mumble what he wanted to eat in the village. Lin Manliu looked at the appearance of the person next to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, isn't this his former self.

In fact, for Jiang Yanlin all the way

"Unreasonable trouble", Lin Manliu was not too bored in his heart. Because the short-shirted boy knew that Jiang Yanlin at this time had unspeakable secrets that belonged to him in his heart.

Only when he is here, can he not worry about those things for the time being. In that case, what reason did he have for him to fall back into the same situation as before?

When the two of them walked to Xujia Village, the sky was full of sunset that was burned red. Lin Manliu turned over and dismounted when he arrived at the entrance of the village, and Jiang Yanlin hurriedly followed his example and led the horse together.

Originally, the villagers in the village who could hear the movement mostly wanted to avoid one or two. But when she saw the young man's face, an old woman cried out excitedly.

"It's Little Brother Lin... It's Little Brother Lin who is back! This sound caused the rest of the villagers to look at Lin Manliu, and everyone immediately gathered around.

"It's really Little Brother Lin! A few days ago, we talked to the children at home about you! ”

"I'm going to call the village chief! Little Brother Lin is waiting for you! ”

"You people are... How can you make people wait, Little Brother Lin can have dinner, why don't I go to the house and get you some food? For the courteous greetings of the villagers, Lin Manliu answered them one by one.

At the end of his words, he asked out loud: "It's been a year since I saw you, and the folks are okay!" The villagers in Xujia Village all shouted in unison, okay!

When Village Chief Xu came with a cane, he welcomed Lin Manliu and the others to the courtyard of his house. The three of them sat by a fence to rest, and the village chief asked Lin Manliu about recent trivial matters with concern from time to time, and sighed from time to time about the changes in the past year.

Jiang Yanlin, who was on the side, watched the conversation between the two silently without saying a word. In the mouths of the two of them, he knew about the catastrophe that Xujia Village suffered last year, as well as Lin Manliu's good deeds.

Jiang Yanlin knew that his eldest brother Liu was such a chivalrous young man. But in his heart, for the praise of the previous villagers, as well as the sentimentality of the village chief at this time, there is always a yearning idea?

He longs for Lin Manliu, who has had these deeds... He envied Lin Manliu for having a division commander who loved him... He was jealous

"Liu Manlin" has such a glamorous life... While Lin Manliu was chatting, he looked at Jiang Yanlin beside him and was speechless for a long time, so he also talked about him with Village Chief Xu.

The short-shirted young man said loudly: "Grandpa Xu, this is my friend of mine, and he will return to Fengcheng with me in these days!" "Friends... Village Chief Xu looked at Jiang Yanlin with a relieved face, and then spoke.

"Little Brother must be the same as Little Brother Lin, they are all good sons who punish evil and promote good!" Punish the evil and promote the good... For such recognition and evaluation of the two, Jiang Yanlin looked at Lin Manliu awkwardly.

"Grandpa Xu praised it falsely..."Village Chief Xu laughed: "We are old, we won't look at the wrong person!" Seeing that Jiang Yanlin didn't talk, Lin Manliu responded: "In the future, we will definitely not live up to Grandpa Xu's expectations!" ”

"Good, good, good!" Village Chief Xu hurriedly agreed. Lin Manliu said: "It's not too early, let's go and clean up the house vacated by the villagers first, and Grandpa Xu will rest early!" Village Chief Xu nodded with satisfaction, and gave the two of them a while before leaving.

The two walked on the village path, and Jiang Yanlin was still the same as before. Lin Manliu pondered for a moment, and said out loud: "I know that Yan Lin has something on his mind, but things will always get better, and we still need to look forward!" Jiang Yanlin nodded, as if he had regained his strength.

"Brother Liu, I understand!"

"I won't ask too much about your affairs, there is still a long way to go, just face it together!"

"Hmmm! Thank you, Brother Liu..."
