By June 11, the beginning of autumn had passed.

The past always sighed sadly in autumn, and the same is true for today's young man.

After bypassing Rongcheng and Xujia Village, they were about to go to Jianmen Pass.

Lin Manliu quietly went to visit Grandpa Xu last night, and in the latter's words, he learned what happened after they left.

There are indeed officers and soldiers who come here to make rounds, but according to the village chief.

The official who was the leader treated people kindly, did not forcibly make things difficult, and sent people to send some food a few days later.

This made the short-shirted boy a little worried, if it wasn't Zhao Xiang's people, then there might be other people searching for the traces of the two.

Today's Jianmen Pass must be a dangerous road.

On the previous journey, Shen Duchao had the idea of proposing a detour.

But they were all rejected by Lin Manliu, because the mountains in this area were going, and unless they gave up their horses and the luggage they needed, it would not be easy to take risks.

The short-shirted boy said loudly: "I'll go forward to inquire later, and if it's okay, you can follow as soon as possible!" ”

Jiang Yanlin tightened the reins and shouted: "If the situation is not right, Brother Liu must retreat quickly!" ”

"Well, I understand!"

Lin Manliu said hello and walked forward alone.

Looking at the Yanyang soldiers who were in charge of patrolling at the exit of the pass, they were the same as the ones who came, and they were still the ones who went south.

And their inspection of the past caravans seems to be much looser, and they should not know about Zhao Xiang and the others.

After the short-shirted boy looked carefully, he lined up at the back of the crowd, waiting for the Yanyang soldiers to come and check.

But when Lin Manliu hadn't moved a few steps, he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

The young man immediately held the mountain field on his waist vigilantly, but unexpectedly someone held down the hilt of the sword again.

Only then did he realize that on the left and right sides, there was a man dressed as a villager, who was secretly spying on him.

Previously, attention had been focused on the side of the exit of the pass...

One of the men spoke up: "Lin Shaoxia, if you are not in a hurry to get out of the customs, can you move to discuss some things?" ”

The young man in the short shirt said: "Since there is something to discuss, let's go..."

When Lin Manliu spoke, he tried not to look at the rear as much as possible, in order to prevent the two of them from discovering Jiang Yanlin and Shen Duchao who were waiting behind.

But the man spoke up again: "Lin Shaoxia's two friends are naturally going to be invited, don't worry..."

The young man in the short shirt saw that his mind was being recognized, so he had to say, "Then let's go..."

Then these two men dressed as villagers walked out of the team with Lin Manliu in one arm and one by one.

The two laughed loudly from time to time, and they didn't forget to say some faint words in their mouths, so that others looked at them, and they just wanted to stay away.

When I looked at those Yanyang soldiers, I even cursed in my heart, where did the ruffians come from, hurry up and get away from me.

After walking for about half a pillar of incense, Lin Manliu was carried into a forest, and finally stopped at a tree stump.

The young man in the short shirt looked ahead, and sure enough, Jiang Yanlin and Shen Duchao were also here.

The condition of the two was much better than Lin Manliu expected, there were no signs of disability on their bodies, and only a few masked men were guarding them.

Shen Duchao looked at the young man and gave him an inquiring look.

The short-shirted boy shook his head, motioning for her not to act rashly.

The man beside Lin Manliu walked in front of the young man after removing the black scarf from his face.

The man's voice changed suddenly, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Lin Shaoxia still has an impression?" ”

The short-shirted boy looked intently and recognized the person in front of him.

Is that a thousand smiles?

Seeing the face of the person in front of him, Lin Manliu felt a lot more relieved for no reason.

If it is this Qianjing smile, the identity of the person who invited it is easy to guess.

Soon, another person came out of the forest, also unmasked, dressed similarly to Qianjingxiao.

Lin Manliu took the lead in speaking out: "General Nine invited the kid here, what is the matter?" ”

The one who came was the general surnamed Jiu who had previously taken over Li Yanhe's position to guard the city.

In my impression, is it called Jiuzhao?

He and Qian Jingxiao, who was not far in front of him, were both disciples of Mr. Mo in his early years.

Jiu Zhao said: "Now that the matter is over, why is Senior Brother Lin still unwilling to call me Senior Brother? ”

Lin Manliu said loudly: "The reason has already been said, what does the Ninth General have to discuss, it is better to tell it earlier?" ”

Jiu Zhao took a few steps forward and met Lin Manliu's eyes.

He could feel that there was no fear in Lin Manliu's eyes at this time.

"I underestimated Lin Shaoxia, so I'm sorry for you..."

Lin Manliu twisted his body very pretentiously, raised his hand and pinched it on his shoulder, pretending not to care.

"There's something to say..."

The reason why he is so abnormal is actually what they are doing today, as well as the identities of the two of them.

In a sense, even if this Jiuzhao and Qianjingxiao are not the people of the Slaughter Sect, they are inseparable from the Slaughter Sect.

If you divide the evil slaughter gate that had caused chaos in the past into two...

The one who was in the south of the Yangtze River was represented by Qi Xuan, and the eldest son of the Jiang family was behind him.

If there is chaos in central Guizhou and southern Xinjiang, there must be two of them planning behind it.

Now the remnants of the Evil Sect are besieged by the Liaoyuan Army, and at the same time, the new defender is now wearing regular clothes instead of armor, so they may be at odds with the Liaoyuan Army.

Most of the things we are discussing today have something to do with it.

Jiu Zhao saw that Lin Manliu had no sense of restraint, and he also had a guess in his heart.

What did Mr. Mo say to Yijian Villa before leaving? Or has their layout been thoroughly understood?

The short-shirted boy spoke up again: "What is General Nine for?" ”

Qian Jingxiao pulled out a knife from his waist and was about to make a mighty move, but was quickly blocked by Jiu Zhao's raised hand.

The latter said with a smile: "For Lin Shaoxia, it's for you to break the siege, and for us, it's for us to let Yijian Villa take care of it back, and then make a name first..."

Regarding Jiuzhao's rhetoric, Lin Manliu was not surprised.

When Mr. Mo was there, he often recited some techniques of combining vertical and horizontal, and everything in the world is like this, and the enemy of the enemy, even if he has a grudge, can temporarily gather together on the same line.

Lin Manliu said: "Don't the ninth generals know that now the owner of my family has met with the Marquis of Taxue?" ”

Jiu Zhao opened his mouth and said: "Then what Xiao Baoli is for, Lin Shaoxia also knows it, so there is no need to pretend to be a ghost here..."

The short-shirted young man deliberately put on a puzzled expression, which caused Jiu Zhao to feel a sudden rise in disgust.

The latter spoke again: "Lin Manliu... Don't give face, don't give face, today this sword gate is closed without us, you can't go! ”

When Lin Manliu heard this, he immediately squeezed out a grimace, just like a child with an incomplete mind.

"Anyway, General Nine is here, and we can get through it safely no matter what, right?"

Jiu Zhao suddenly raised his arm, and then slowly lowered it.

He said, "What a fearless..."

The short-shirted boy said loudly: "I'm smiling!" ”

After Jiu Zhao stood up, he took out a waist card from his arms and tied it around his waist.

Lin Manliu looked over and only saw the word "Riyao" engraved on the front.

Previously, General Li Yanhe held the battle flag with the word "sunrise", and the old liar explained to him the role of the battle flag afterwards.

So what does this waist card mean now? Does it have the same effect? Can you dominate the soldiers and horses in one place?

Everyone walked back to the mountain road to Jianmen Pass, and Jiu Zhao never said a word to Lin Manliu and the others again.

Under his leadership, he directly ignored the caravans and passers-by who were still waiting in line.

It will cause a lot of quarrels and discussions...

"Where did those uncles come from, they act so majestic, they are not afraid that they will be driven away by the officials!"

"Be quiet, I didn't see people all five big and three thick, I listened to it, it's good not to give you two slaps!"

"Official! it! We're going to send this grain to the north! ”

Until Jiu Zhao walked to the Sword Gate, these words did not stop.

The Yanyang soldiers guarding the exit of the pass naturally heard the sound, and at first they were also waiting for these unknown people to come forward.

But when he saw the jade plaque hanging from Jiuzhao's waist, someone immediately stepped forward to greet him.

The soldier clenched his fists and shouted, "My subordinates have seen the general!" ”

Jiu Zhao raised his hand and pressed it falsely, signaling the other party to waive the courtesy.

He opened his mouth and said: "I need to go north and go to Shannan to discuss matters, and I hope it will be convenient!" ”

The soldier hesitated at first, but then glanced at the waist card engraved with "Sunshine".

Seeing this, Jiu Zhao tore off the waist card from his waist and handed it to the soldier.

"If you don't feel at ease, you can start and check it!"

The soldier hurriedly took a step back and clenched his fists again.

"The subordinates don't dare, so make way for the general!"

After saying this, the people around him began to fall silent.

The official who scolded them loudly on weekdays, who looked at the son of an unknown family, was like an old dog on the street.

Jiu Zhao didn't say much anymore, raised his hand and gestured back.

Then, everyone followed him directly across the pass and walked towards the outside of the Sword Gate Pass.

Looking at the figures of Jiu Zhao and the others leaving, the few people who had been talking in the caravan before whispered again.

"I just heard what the official said... Checkmate! General, yes... You almost lost your life! ”

"It's good that the man didn't hear it, but it scared me..."

"You were so loud just now, and you still don't think people heard it?"

They were still muttering, when suddenly a man came up from their side.

It was the Yanyang soldier who bowed his head to Jiu Zhao before, and he directly kicked out one of them and kicked one of them to the ground.

"Where is the steward of your car? Tell the fuck to get out of here! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier kicked out again, knocking the other man to the ground.

The two men with broken mouths all held their heads and curled up on the ground, for fear of being kicked to death by the soldier.

Lin Manliu listened to the movement behind him and shook his head helplessly.

Jiu Zhao, who was beside him, spoke for no reason.

"It is rare in the south, as long as you go to the north, no one dares to talk about the Yanyang soldiers, not even those famous literati..."

Seeing that the young man didn't reply, he said something out loud.

"Do you think that's a good thing or a bad thing?"

Lin Manliu said: "It's not a good thing that the people who come and go should not talk about the scholars..."

Jiu Zhao responded: "Got it." ”

The two fell silent again, and headed in the direction away from the Sword Gate.
