The Taoist walked from west to east with a bamboo cane.

The jujube red horse followed silently with his bags.

The little girl beside her also took a bamboo cane, which was much thinner than the one in the Taoist's hand.

The little girl trotted forward with a bamboo cane, and a thin straw rope was tied to the bamboo cane, and a small piece of white cloth was tied to the straw rope, about the size of a cat's paw, and as she ran, the wind blew up the white piece of cloth on the rope, shaking and spinning, as if it was not a piece of cloth that was tied, but a butterfly.

The butterflies on the grassland were stupid, as if they really thought it was a butterfly, so they flew with the white cloth, and soon formed a long row behind the white cloth.

The little girl ran with a cane, and pieces of cloth flew around.

It is followed by a long line of butterflies, neatly arranged.

When she ran far, she circled the grassland, ran back, and then walked behind the Taoist and the jujube red horse, and continued to move forward.

As if tireless.

"Daoist priest, look!"

"Hmm."

"More and more!"

"Awesome."

“……”

Not only is she tireless, but she doesn't seem to be able to smile, but she can only see that her eyes are unusually bright, full of novelty, and her voice is more crisp.

Running back and forth with a bamboo cane like this.

The Taoist glanced at her from time to time.

The picture seems to be very beautiful.

When others see it, they can't imagine that this is the border junction between Dayan and the eighteen departments of the Saibei grassland, which are often contested today, and there are often two sides riding on this grassland to go back and forth frequently, probing each other, and sometimes encountering it is inevitable to fight.

After a long time, the little girl seemed to be tired of running, so she slowed down, and only waved the bamboo cane around her, so as to ensure that the cloth would fly, so that the butterflies would continue to follow.

But I saw her quickly reach out and grab it.

"Brush!"

Catch a small butterfly with ease.

Before the Taoist could look away, he saw her put her hand to her mouth.

“……”

Only then did the Taoist look away and look into the distance.

"Huh?"

Sanhua Niangniang was just about to stretch out her hand and pick a lucky little butterfly as her self-service snack, but her movements also stopped, and she turned her head to look into the distance.

Behind the hill there was the faint sound of horses' hooves.

After a while, several figures appeared on the distant mountain.

They are all grassland men, with very different clothing styles from Dayan, no armor, only scimitars and bows and arrows, and they are lightly armed, and they also see the two people and horses here.

They looked at each other and came this way.

"Tosh!"

A few shouts.

Song You only glanced at it and knew that it was the waiting horse of Saibei, and the configuration of Da Yan was the same, with ten people in a group.

As expected, before the group of riders could get closer, there was a shout.

It's an incomprehensible language.

Maybe it was because he saw that Song You was handsome, wearing a Taoist robe, without a weapon, and with a little girl, who didn't look like a threat, and they didn't immediately show a strong hostile intent. However, judging from Song You's experience walking on the border in the past few days, most of the other parties will not let him go easily, even if they don't kill him on the spot, they will arrest him back, or let him go with them.

So I saw the Taoist turn his head to face them, not in a hurry, and when they ran closer, he said lightly:

"Everyone, please come back."

"Sigh the law ......"

The horses under the Saibei Waiting Seat suddenly raised their heads and neighed, and they all stopped, and no matter how the people on the horses beat them, they all turned around and ran to and fro.

The horsemen were so frightened and angry that they crooked their horses' necks, and the horses under their seats did not stop.

Eventually, the group came from a distant mountain and disappeared into a distant mountain.

"It's amazing~"

Sanhua Niangniang's voice was soft and thin, but she learned the tone of Wu Nuxia in Changjing, holding a bamboo cane and turning her head to stare at the Taoist.

"Want to learn?"

"Will our horses listen to me when they learn it?"

"If Sanhua Niangniang talks to it now, won't it listen to Sanhua Niangniang too?"

"Sometimes I listen, sometimes I don't."

"Then it's the same as Sanhua Niangniang, it has its own ideas."

"And what about me learning this spell?"

"Sanhua Niangniang can't use spells to make friends obedient."

"That's not going to be learned."

The little girl then retracted her gaze and continued to look at the white cloth attached to her small bamboo cane, but only then did she realize that she had just looked at the group of people too seriously, and forgot to dance the bamboo cane.

“……”

The little girl was not discouraged, took the bamboo cane, and continued to run.

The Taoist also took a step forward and continued to walk east.

There seems to be a military fortress of Dayan here. The name is the Night City.

It's famous.

Song You heard its name from the mouth of the storyteller as early as when he was in Yidu, it is one of the five northern towns of Dayan Town, and it is also the farthest military town from Changjing in the north. It's just that the storyteller doesn't know its specific location, only that it is in the north, but after arriving at the grassland, he heard about its approximate location.

However, the grassland is so large that Song You has neither a map nor a guide, and it seems that it is not easy to find it.

It is possible to miss it across a hill.

Slowly from the afternoon to the night.

The starry sky is as vast as the grassland.

Sanhua Niangniang still went to collect firewood and lit a bonfire in the mountains.

The Taoist boiled a pot of boiling water, took out the beef jerky, and added the hare caught by Sanhua Niangniang, and it was dinner tonight.

But the long night doesn't stop.

I don't know which side of the ranger, also wandering in this grassland at night, maybe it was to see that there was a fire here, so he quietly came to investigate, and before he got close, he was found by the alert three-flower cat, and when he saw that it was a Taoist who was sitting here, he sent a person to ride over, and the rest of the people were vigilant at night with bows and crossbows.

"Who?"

In the darkness came familiar language.

One person and one rider, slowly approaching, against the starry sky, gradually walked into the range of fire from the dark night.

He was a stout man with a spear and a bow and arrows.

The Taoist was still sitting facing the fire, holding a piece of air-dried beef in his right hand and a bowl of boiling water in his left hand, and turned to look at the visitor.

After the language was understood, the Taoist did not use a spell to invite them back, but said: "In the next surname Song Mingyou, Yizhou people from Lingquan County, travel down the mountain, travel to the north, and ask the captain not to be embarrassed." ”

“……”

The cavalry approached and looked carefully, his eyes swept over the aislemen, the three-flowered cat next to the fire, and the jujube red horse lying on the side.

"Mr. Song Yousong?"

"Huh?"

Song You turned his head to look at him: "The captain also knows about it?" ”

"Naturally!"

The cavalry immediately turned around and shouted behind him:

"It's Mr. Song!"

Then he turned over and dismounted, and hugged his fist at Song You: "The little surname Feng is the ranger of the Ninth Regiment of the Zhenbei Army, on the order of General Chen, if you meet a Taoist with a three-flowered cat and a jujube red horse surnamed Song Mingyou when you are touring the grassland, you will inform Mr. that there are demons in the Saibei army to help, please go to Yuanzhi City to help." ”

"Yuanzhi City?"

"Yes!"

"Where is Yuanzhi City?"

"Six hundred miles east of here."

"It's so far away......"

"Mr. Hui, we waited for the garrison to be stationed in Zhaoye City, and we received a military order from Yuanzhi City, so we were looking for Mr. while on the tour."

"How did General Chen know I was here?"

"I don't know about this little one."

“……”

Song You thought about it and almost understood.

It should be the news from the Caotou Pass in the south, General Chen knew that he had passed the Heyuan, passed the Caotou Pass, and knew that there was a grand meeting on the grassland in front of him, so he guessed that he would definitely go, and after the location of the grassland meeting and continued to the north, it was this side.

It's a good calculation.

At this time, the rest of the people also put away their crossbow arrows and blades.

In addition to the ranger with the previous surname Feng, there were nine horses in total, eight of which were seated with wounds and appeared to have fought with people, and one horse was led by another man, and on the back of the horse was a corpse in light armor tied to it, in addition to several heads, most of whom were armed with spears and crossbows.

Everyone dismounted one after another and hugged their fists at Song You.

Song You also returned the salute one by one and asked, "Are you injured?" ”

"When I was on a tour today, I met a group of Saibei people's horses and fought with them." The cavalryman surnamed Feng said, with a gesture, quite charlatan, "I suffered some minor injuries and died a brother, but unfortunately I didn't catch anyone alive, and brought back the brother's body." ”

"You look like the Spearmen?"

"Sir also knows about my spear door?"

"Thunder."

"There are a few."

"I am ......"

"Me ...... too"

"Spear Gate Zhao Guanyi! Courteous! ”

"Lance Gate ...... Monday"

Several cavalrymen with spears spoke out one after another.

The north is chaotic, and the troubled times produce heroes.

Since Song You traveled to Hezhou and Yanzhou, he has seen a lot of people from the spear door, and there are many people in the army, most of whom are in the elite of the army.

Previously, when I was in the south, I heard that Changjing Yunhemen, Yizhou Xishan School and Yuezhou Changgunmen were listed as the three major schools in the rivers and lakes by Mr. Storyteller. Because Yunhemen is in Changjing, it is related to the nobles of the DPRK and China, and occupies an absolute advantage in propaganda, although it is despised by the people of the rivers and lakes, it is also respected by the storytellers as the first sect of the rivers and lakes. The Xishan faction has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and all the disciples are excellent in martial arts. The spear door had to be lined up in the back.

Now it seems that there may be something wrong.

Under the impetus of the troubled times, and with the support of General Chen, now when it comes to power, I am afraid that the Yunhemen and Xishan factions will add up several other big forces in the rivers and lakes, and they will be far inferior to the spear gate.

"I just heard you say that you are from Night City?"

"That's right."

"Has Night City been recovered?"

"It was recovered the year before last."

"I heard that it was the demons who occupied Shine Night City before?"

"I don't know ...... gentleman"

The ranger surnamed Feng said to him.

Zhaoye City is the farthest military town of Dayan in Saibei.

Why is it called Night City?

It is this vast grassland, and the Dayan garrison is in it, just like this night, the ears and eyes are dark, but this night city is like a light in the night, deep into the night, illuminating the surroundings.

The last time the Saibei people invaded the south, the army of Zhaoye City was under the front of the Saibei people, and held it for several years, and even the Saibei people had already crossed the northern border, crossed the entire Yanzhou, galloped all the way to the north wind pass of Hezhou, and slaughtered the entire Heyuan, and the northernmost Zhaoye City was still not lost. It's just that they have long since cut off contact with Changjing, and Changjing also thinks that they have already fallen.

Until the news came back to the capital, the government and the opposition were shaken.

It is said that at that time, the imperial court had already sued for peace, and when he heard the news, Emperor Wu decided to continue to fight, and I heard that there were many heroes in the rivers and lakes who were inspired by it, and they were angry at the crown and went to join the army.

It's just that later the city of Shine Night was lost.

Some say that it is the work of demons.

It is said that the northern generals at that time were not good for the aid, and the grain and grass in the night city were eaten, so they were lost, and the generals were afraid of being held accountable, so they deduced that it was a demon.

In the world, whether it is officials and ordinary people, literati and warriors, they all talk about the affairs of the night city.

It's probably going to be famous for eternity.
