In the early morning of the second day, the morning sun rose in the east.

The two of them had already had breakfast, crossed the mountain to the official road, and walked all the way north.

At breakfast, Liu Wenchuan didn't see the old monk of the temple, so he asked the old man.

The old man Yu, who had been thinking about it for a long time, casually gave an answer, the old monk was too poor in the temple, so he went out early to fast.

Liu Wenchuan was a little reluctant to leave when he left, so he secretly left two salted fish at the door. As a result, he was found by Old Man Yu, who ate two chestnuts on his head, and then the salted fish was reloaded by Old Man Yu.

"Idiot, which monk did you see eating meat?"

The official road of the original Cangguo is very wide, and eight horses can be traveled at the same time without crowding, leading directly to Shuoyang County. This is mainly for the purpose of transporting supplies more quickly in the event of a war effort.

This official road is one of the three major roads leading to Shuoyang, and at the end of the road is the southeast coastal city, the coast.

The other two, one directly leads to the former Cangguo capital Chengba County, and the other is a border artery that connects the northeast and Shu directly.

In the entire territory of the Tianze Dynasty, the original Cangguo was nothing more than a poor vassal state in a remote area. Most of the big countries are mountainous, which is one of the reasons why the old Taoist priest chose the original Cangguo to hide.

Now the former Cangguo and Yingze are relatively peaceful, and the border trade between the two countries is even more than the smoke of war. Therefore, on the official road now, most of the pedestrians are vendors, dart masters, etc.

Dart master is a very popular profession in the whole world. The trade between the countries, and even the royal transport, was dominated by the team of dart masters. Many disciples of the Jianghu sect will choose to join the dart sect when they go down the mountain to practice. Throughout the world, the famous Dart Gate can even be on an equal footing with those upper sects.

Liu Wenchuan and Old Man Yu, who came out of the mountains, had no horses, so they could only walk towards Shuoyang City with their feet. On the way, I met a caravan of more than a dozen people and begged for water. Listening to the old man's chatter with the caravan, they specially sold the sea freight from the coast to the border, and then bought the special products of Yingze Country to sell them on the coast.

Liu Wenchuan listened carefully and listened freshly, where did he grow up in a small fishing village and see people outside. Old man Yu chatted with people, which made him feel that people in the outside world were not as sinister as Zhao Cripple and Iron Bar, and there were still more good people in the world.

No, I gave them a big water bladder when I left.

Old man Yu estimated that he had lived in a small fishing village for a long time, and he either hummed a little song and drank wine along the way, or went up to talk to people when he met them. Not long after they parted from the caravan, the two met a group of people who had caught up behind them.

Old man Yu was trying to stop their carriage and take a ride.

Who would have thought that the other party rushed directly to the two big men, glared at them angrily, and forced the two of them to the side of the road, and their eyes were not kind at all. Then their carriage procession hurried by, and the two men followed.

Liu Wenchuan was stunned and a little confused, and he didn't provoke them, as for being so fierce? Old man Yu didn't care, and explained with a smile: "This is the rivers and lakes, and some people are informal. Some people are like the frightened bird, once bitten by a snake for ten years, afraid of the well rope, after all, people's hearts are separated from the belly. ”

After walking for a while, I walked a few more people on the opposite side. They all ignored the two of them, even if the old man had a harmless smile, the other party didn't even look at him, and finally the old man stopped stupidly.

More than thirty miles is not far away, just when the two of them stood on the official road, they could see the majestic city wall of Shuoyang. Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves whistled by.

"Drive, drive!"

"Drive!"

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

This group of more than 20 people, the horses were rampant on the official road at a very fast speed, to Liu Wenchuan's surprise, the three people led were two young girls and an old man.

What made Liu Wenchuan take a second look was the woman in the middle wearing a purple power suit, with a heroic posture with a knife at her waist, this is the temperament that Jianghu people should have. But looking at her hurried appearance, it seems that something big has happened.

Behind the trio, several horses had flags on their bodies. On one side of the flag is the word 'dart' and the other side is written the word 'sun'. Pedestrians on the road gave way to the side of the road. Liu Wenchuan didn't have any ill feelings about this, but his eyes flashed after the flag behind him.

"These are the dart masters?" Liu Wenchuan asked.

Old man Yu nodded, "People from the Shuoyang Sun Family Dart Bureau." ”

After the dust on the road dissipated, the two of them continued to hurry. Not long after the Sun family's dart division team left, the two horses swayed unhurriedly, and the two middle-aged men on it had swords on their waists, although they seemed to have nothing to do with the dart division team in front of them, but after the old man saw these two, his eyes shrank slightly.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Liu Wenchuan and Old Man Yu finally came to Shuoyang City. On the majestic and tall city wall, the banner of the original Cangguo is flying in the wind, and two rows of elite soldiers stand on the city wall majestic.

Although there were no elite soldiers at the gate of the city, the people entering and leaving the city were in an orderly manner. As the border city of the former Cangguo, the quality of its border military is the face of a country, and the slaughter shown by the soldiers on the city wall makes Liu Wenchuan's heart swell with blood.

Finally lined up and walked into Shuoyang City, Liu Wenchuan's stomach growled uncontrollably. The hawkers at the gate of the city shouted incessantly, and the smell of incense wafted from not far away.

Roast goose, meat buns, wontons, and fragrant beef noodles.

Just smelling the smell, Liu Wenchuan has already begun to swallow saliva. He hadn't eaten any of these things.

"Old Yu, I'm hungry."

"Eat!" Old man Yu wiped the hala off his mouth, pointed to the wonton stall in front of him, and walked over with Liu Wenchuan striding meteor.

An old couple was busy at the wonton stall, and the old man saw that the two people riding horses and swords before were also there, and there were four young men and women sitting at a table next to him.

Liu Wenchuan was already hungry, so he ran to the empty table, "Uncle, come two bowls of wontons." No, three bowls! ”

The four young men and women at the table next to them heard Liu Wenchuan's shout, and after seeing what they were wearing, they sneered disdainfully, and then began to talk about the team of dart masters who had just entered the city.

"The Sun family is in big trouble this time. Not to mention the loss of face in the Longxiang Dart Bureau, it is said that the treasure they escorted is even more amazing..."

"Senior brother, where did you get this gossip. The things that the dart master escorted are confidential, where did you hear about it? The woman next to her deliberately lowered her voice, after all, this is Shuoyang City.

"Senior sister, you don't know this. Senior brother, my hands and eyes are all over the sky, and the secrets of the rivers and lakes naturally can't escape my eyes. The young man drank a little wine, boasted, and began to play tricks again.

"Do you know what that thing is?"

Liu Wenchuan was eating hot wontons, which were as delicious as a delicacies from the mountains and seas, how could he have the time to listen to any secret and interesting anecdotes. But the old man moved slowly, listening to the young man's words with his ears pricked up, and the two swordsmen next to him did the same.

"Shhhh Senior brother, be quiet. ”

"What are you afraid of, are there any masters of the rivers and lakes in this street stall, there are people from the Sun family?" The young man glanced at the other two tables, two swordsmen, one old and one young, which one looked like a master?

Liu Wenchuan ate two large bowls of wontons and drank a large bowl of tea, and then he burped contentedly. Look at the old man Yu has only eaten half a bowl, and he is still chewing slowly.

"Old Yu, where are we going next?"

looked at Liu Wenchuan, who had changed after walking out of the mountain, with a lazy and shy stomach. The old man glanced at his mouth and put down his chopsticks, threw down a few copper coins, and walked towards the city with Liu Wenchuan, and when he left, he glanced at the two swordsmen intentionally or unintentionally.

Shuoyang is not a place to stay for a long time, since you want to go all the way north, you must plan early. I hope that the old Taoist priest can last a little longer, so that the two of them have the opportunity to leave the original Cangguo as soon as possible.

The corners of the old man's mouth were raised, and he already had a plan in his heart. Shuoyang already had an idea in his heart about which road was the safest to take, and how to go with whom. The bowl of blunt wontons just now was not eaten for nothing, and it was not in vain to listen to the boasts of those small sect martial artists.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the world."

"What? See the world? It's not already seen, the city is high, Martha, there are many people, and the rice is fragrant. ”

Liu Wenchuan held his head in his hands, basking in the sun with his head up, he didn't seem to care about everything about everyone around him, he was lazy and only knew that he was actually in Xiaoyu Village, and the best habit he developed was subtle observation.

Along the way, how could the pain he endured that night in the temple be just a dream. Old man Yu didn't say anything, he didn't say it, let alone ask, just keep it in mind.

When the old man saw someone, he stepped forward to talk with a smile, and it seemed that all he was talking about was gossip. But Liu Wenchuan knew that he was probing the road ahead and the situation behind him. The old man ate the wontons just now and ate them so slowly, not because he didn't like it, not because he ate less, but because he kept observing the surroundings.

The thirteen-point helm of the Longxiang Dart Bureau is the Sun family, I'm afraid this is where they will go next. When a person eats a hundred meals, the first thing he learns is to observe words and looks. Liu Wenchuan, who has just stepped into the rivers and lakes, truly shows his insight and knowledge.

Walking and walking, the two of them had come to the door of the largest mansion in Shuoyang City. The vermilion lacquer door is closed, and the four people at the door are dressed in dart master clothes, standing at the door with a knife at their waists, and the huge plaque on the door has two big gold lacquer characters - Sun family.

Old man Yu and Liu Wenchuan stood side by side on the street, looking up at those two words.

"It's here!"

After leaving the small temple, Old Man Yu discussed with Liu Wenchuan. The two of them walk the rivers and lakes together, and there must always be an identity statement. According to the old man, Liu Wenchuan is a down-and-out young master, and he is Liu Wenchuan's house slave. Moreover, Old Man Yu also confessed to Liu Wenchuan, he is still a martial artist.

Liu Wenchuan asked at that time, "Warrior?" How powerful? ”

Old man Yu said perfunctorily: "It's not too powerful." ”

Liu Wenchuan asked again: "Is that a little more powerful than an iron rod?" ”

Old man Yu nodded, and raised his hand to leave a gap between his index finger and thumb, "Just a little bit." ”
