June 18, early in the morning.

The young man who went downstairs to the hall of the post house looked out and had a full view of the furnishings in the house.

Last night's chatter is still echoing in my mind...

The shopkeeper Zhang said that he would clean up again in the morning, and everyone still washed the pots and bowls together and placed the tables and chairs neatly.

In the end, I got a sentence from the shopkeeper, and it's not usually as clean as it is today! I'm afraid I'm going to get used to it in the future.

At that time, Senior Sister Qiao would come often after receiving the sentence, and applauded the shopkeeper Zhang.

It's good to come often, and it's always there.

In the future, this place will be stable, and there is no need to worry about it.

And it's time for us to go!

Lin Manliu tied the Xia Ming cicada behind him tighter, and then walked out of the door first.

As soon as I went out, I saw the shopkeeper waiting outside.

The kind middle-aged man raised his hand and pointed to the right side of the station.

He opened his mouth and said: "We happen to have idle horses here, no more, no less just two, but don't shirk, it's easier to go back!" ”

For the care of this shopkeeper, Lin Manliu knew that there was no possibility of refusal.

The short-shirted boy had to clench his fists and say: "Thank you shopkeeper!" ”

"That's right! If you're in a hurry, let's go first... Let's continue to rest! ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he continued to lie back on the chaise longue, his eyes slightly closed, and hummed a song from nowhere.

There is nothing to do, the head of the village counts the carriages and horses, and the end of the village looks at the crickets.

After the rain, the sky is clear, yesterday was not happy, today is happy.

As soon as you wake up to three poles, everything is not in your ears, and you are happy like a fairy!

Because Fu You was going to Yijian Villa, he and Lin Manliu and the others could also be regarded as being able to travel for a while, so they naturally appeared in the team.

The boy in the short shirt handed the reins of a horse to the girl in blue, who carefully took it.

Lin Manliu said: "Shopkeeper Zhang naturally took into account Fu Nuxia, and this kindness is accepted." ”

Fu Wei snorted, and then turned over and got on the horse.

Under the distribution of the short-shirted boys, the group of four people all got their own horses.

Lin Manliu was in front of the royal horse, Jiang Yanlin, Shen Duchao and Fu You were behind, and they walked towards the entrance of the village together.

Let's go all the way to the east and into the south of the Yangtze River!

Before the four of them had traveled half a mile, there was the sound of galloping horses' hooves behind them.

The young man in the short shirt turned his head to look and found that the person who came was actually Lang Fengyan.

Before everyone could ask, the black-robed woman explained herself.

"What a coincidence, it just so happens that I am also going east to Jiangnan, but I still have to stop by the way?"

When Lang Fengyan was talking, she didn't look at everyone at all, as if she was deliberately avoiding her gaze.

Lin Manliu faintly guessed the meaning of the black-robed woman, and bowed apologetically.

The short-shirted boy spoke: "Since it is on the way, it is good to take care of it in the future, and the kid has thanked his predecessors again!" ”

Most of the time, Senior Sister Qiao couldn't rest assured and let her escort her for a ride, and this senior didn't want to show his intentions, so let it be.

Lang Fengyan turned her head to look at the short-shirted boy, and then looked at the "confidantes" beside her.

The black-robed woman's face instantly turned cold again, making Lin Manliu feel strange.

She spoke: "Without further ado, let's go!" ”

Lin Manliu said: "Well, the kid remembered something, and he hasn't explained it to his predecessors and Fu Nuxia yet..."

Lang Fengyan was originally ready to rush forward with the horse, so she had to raise her hand and stop the horse.

She wondered, "What's the matter?" ”

Lin Manliu said loudly: "In the future, we will not enter the township frequently on the three-person road, and we will rest in the forest more often..."

Lang Fengyan waved his hand and said, "I thought it was a big deal, and I wasn't pampered, so let's go!" ”

Fu You also spoke: "It's okay, I didn't have too many thoughts of going to the village and entering the town on the road before." ”

Looking at the decisive statements of the two, Lin Manliu hugged the two of them with a fist.

In this way, the team of short-shirted boys has grown again, from two at the beginning to five now.

......

And Lu Fengbai and others, who were far away in southern Xinjiang, were "invited" out of Langcang Pass by Taxue Hou since they learned of Xue Tang's death that day.

Until now, I have been wandering around southern Xinjiang for a long time.

These half a hundred people will not be able to blatantly walk the streets and alleys, and the fact will cause panic among the people of southern Xinjiang.

Therefore, I can only find some mountains to rest in, and now the place where I settle down is a place called "Ten Thousand Gully Mountain".

It is located in the upper reaches of the Langcang River in the north, and there is a royal city site on the high mountain on its north side, which is the royal city established after the unification of the six edicts in the past.

However, after the Yanyang Dynasty united the north and the south, the land of the six edicts in southern Xinjiang and the old dynasty of Shu were also destroyed.

In the past, the most prosperous royal city in southern Xinjiang is now only a few ruins and broken walls.

Lu Fengbai looked at the wreckage that had turned into dust, and silently stabbed the paint night into the mud under his feet.

There was a person walking behind him, it was Lu Cishan.

He opened his mouth and said: "As previously confirmed, after we left, in just half a day, the Evil Slaughter Gate had been cleared by the Liaoyuan Army. ”

"But the layout of the military tent in Langcang Pass has not changed in any way, and there is no sign of retreat..."

Lu Feng said in vain: "The Marquis of Taxue went south to come by order, but now he has not returned, it seems that the plan is very wide." ”

Lu Cishan said loudly: "Will it be the same as you guessed before?" ”

Lu Fengbai didn't say anything, just nodded.

From the time they entered southern Xinjiang, the Yijian Villa and his party had already discovered some clues, and all the garrisons in the larger state cities along the way were replaced by the Liaoyuan Army.

It stands to reason that the Liaoyuan army heading south simply does not have so many talents.

Then there is only one possibility, before the regeneration of the Evil Sect in Southern Xinjiang, the Liaoyuan Army had secretly infiltrated Southern Xinjiang under the deployment of Xiao Baoli.

Because of this, the Evil Slaughter Gate, which had just been rampant for a short time, was quickly slaughtered by the Liaoyuan Army.

By the time Lu Fengbai and his party arrived at Langcang Pass, the evil slaughtering gate in Zhige Mountain was just an ant that Xiao Baoli could pinch to death at any time.

Later, it was the two main account meetings with Xiao Baoli.

The first time was this snow treading marquis, who wanted to show his means in front of Lu Fengbai, as well as test Lu Fengbai's bottom line.

The second time was to show his tough attitude, to let Lu Fengbai understand that the current Yijian Villa is in a dilemma, and only by obeying his orders can he live.

Because of these things, Lu Fengbai had some conjectures.

I'm afraid that the world will be in chaos, and the hot sun will have no peace.

This snow treading marquis should be waiting for an opportunity to rebel.

Lu Fengbai raised his eyes and took another look, the ruins of the royal city, and couldn't help but sigh.

Since the Yanyang Dynasty conquered the world, how long has it been since the stable days of this world, and is it going to be a disaster again?

The dynasty changes, the rights change.

When a country rises, it is the people of the world who suffer.

When a country is overthrown, it is still the people of Lebanon who suffer.

The prosperity of the past, after the war poison, what can be left?

Just when the two of them were silent, they suddenly saw a person coming from the mountain pass.

It was a woman carrying a bamboo basket on her back, walking briskly around the mountain, and her mouth seemed to be muttering something.

"If you pick some more medicine today, you can pick less tomorrow... Hey! ”

Lu Fengbai raised his hand and gestured to retreat, after all, now that both of them were carrying swords and swords, they definitely couldn't frighten the villagers here.

The two white-robed figures were about to leave when shouts rang out behind them.

"I'm just going up the mountain to collect medicine, so I don't have to avoid it!" It was the woman who spoke.

Lu Fengbai immediately became vigilant, this random encounter in the mountains and wilderness must not be simple.

He stopped and spoke to the woman with the bamboo basket on her back.

"The two of us traveled here for fear of bumping into the girl, so we wanted to go away."

The woman hid her face and smiled, first at Lu Fengbai, and then at Lu Cishan.

"You two are pretty much alike!"

Lu Fengbai also laughed, "Indeed, people often say that the two of us are similar. ”

The woman put down the basket and tossed it for a moment.

Finally, she felt a strange-looking blade of grass, she raised it and waved it towards Lu Fengbai's position.

The woman spoke, "Have you ever seen this herb these days?" ”

Lu Cishan didn't speak, and there was no expression on his face.

Lu Fengbai looked at it for a while, and the two of them naturally recognized the herbs in front of them at first sight, but for the sake of unnecessary trouble, they did not immediately tell them.

The herbs in the woman's hand have a slight purple rhizome, but the stamens are extremely bright red, and only the grass leaves tend to be normal tender green.

It is a herb that should have been extinct, eradicated by the hot sun, and it can also be said to be a poison.

The places where this herb is picked are mostly cliffs, deep pools and streams.

The herb is famous, called "Yan Pond".

Lu Fengbai raised his hand and pointed to a cliffside, and said loudly: "When we passed by before, it seems that we have seen it on the cliffside, the girl can go by herself..."

When the woman heard this, she smiled.

She put the bamboo basket on her back and said with joy on her face: "I actually asked the right person, then thank you!" ”

Without waiting for Lu Fengbai and the two to respond, the woman jumped up again and walked towards the place she was pointing.

Lu Cishan gave Lu Fengbai a look, and Lu Fengbai responded with his head.

The two of them turned around and left again, bypassing several woods along the way, and deliberately crossing a few streams, before finally walking towards the place where Yijian Villa was stationed.

But before Lu Fengbai could approach the station, he saw a figure appear in front of him.

It's the woman who asked about "Yanchi" earlier...

She put down the basket again, and the smile on her face did not diminish.

The woman spoke: "I suddenly remembered that I had finished picking that place... I thought I'd come back to you and ask for the location. ”

Lu Cishan took a step forward and was about to test the other party's reality.

But soon, he was stopped by Lu Fengbai raising his hand.

Lu Fengbai spoke up at the woman's words: "I don't know what the girl is looking for this 'Yanchi' for, if she doesn't have to be on the right path, she won't have anything to say..."

The woman looked at Lu Fengbai with a puzzled expression, and picked up the herb from the bamboo basket.

"Isn't this medicine just to cure diseases and save people?"
