"Sir!"

This second rotor was extremely familiar with Dawei's incision, and when he opened his mouth, he called Zhao Rang the master, and bowed extremely humbly.

Zhao Rang didn't care about these situations.

On the contrary, he felt that this person was so flattering and tactful, and he didn't know how to lead the way...... Looking for a guide is not looking for a housekeeper, the most important thing is to be able to remember the road and distinguish the direction.

I still remember that when they came to Chagan Tologai, they brought three locals with them, and finally encountered a torrential rain, but they had their own opinions, and each had their own ideas. This is absolutely undesirable, because the occurrence of a crisis is a matter of a moment, and there can be no delay in the slightest.

Now as a guide, there will be no disagreement, but if he makes a mistake, there is no room for it.

"Brother Jean, everything is ready, all prepared according to the list you listed!"

Ximen Dazhuang still remembered that Zhao Rang asked him to count again, and after the inventory was completed, he came over to talk back.

Zhao Rang's mind was not here, and he nodded indiscriminately, but didn't say anything. But I suddenly remembered that this guide was found by Simon Dazhuang's brother, so there shouldn't be any problems. After all, his younger brother has to go on the road with him, so he won't let this lone seedling of the Ximen family have any accidents, right?

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Rang became a lot more transparent, recovered his spirits, and beckoned his men to sort things into categories, put them on horses, and tie them up strongly. Especially with dry food and water, you have to be very careful, it is a matter of life.

Even if the martial arts cultivation of the group is not low, hunting in the mountains is still a matter of luck in the end. What's more, outsiders need guides to guide them just to climb the mountains, and there are no birds and beasts that have lived in the mountains for a long time who are familiar with the terrain.

Yuan Mingkong had already called his sister and Ye Sanniang.

Everyone's own luggage was nothing, Zhao Rang looked at his somewhat buried clothes, and wondered if he should change his clothes and set off again. But thinking of the rugged mountain road, I don't think it's necessary, it's better to wait until I cross this Songtao Mountain, enter the country, find a good inn and settle down, freshen up, and then change clothes.

With the 50,000 taels of silver sent by Simon's family, there is no need to worry about money along the way.

Tongbao Qianzhuang has a total of four branches in the Western Regions.

Among the Upper Four Kingdoms, except for the last-ranked Lan Mo Kingdom, the rest of the three kingdoms have semicolons in the royal city, so the flying money can be exchanged at will with the letter. And the prince of Simon also prepared a thousand taels of silver very thoughtfully in case of emergency.

Silver is enough when you need it. Especially the silver ingots, the heavy pieces are no different from stones, but they are cumbersome to bring more, and the horses can't move!

led the horse and walked to the door of the semicolon, Yuan Mingkong and the new shopkeeper, Ximen Gongzi greeted each other for a while.

The sky was clear, Zhao Rang squinted at Songtao Mountain in front of him, and unconsciously remembered an ancient sentence in his mind:

"What's going on in the mountains? Send flowers to make wine, spring water sencha. ”

However, these mountains are definitely not the mountains of the Western Regions.

The mountains here are high, the snow does not melt all year round, and there is no scene of Qingquan Stone upstream, and naturally there is no spring water sencha.

"Do you want to find the swordsmith in the mountains?"

Ye Sanniang also stared at Songtao Mountain like Zhao Rang.

When Zhao Rang was talking to the master about this in the stove room, Ye Sanniang was not beside him. As for how she knew, Zhao Rang didn't know. Along the way, there have been many incredible things about her, which are incomprehensible.

At the beginning, Zhao Rang was still a little wary, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people, and Ye Sanniang is so "famous". But so far, the only thing Zhao Rang can be sure of is that Ye Sanniang has no ill will and bad intentions towards him.

"yes, my knife is gone...... It's like you're not wearing any clothes, something is wrong! ”

Ye Sanniang was amused by Zhao Rang's analogy and said:

"It's good to be without clothes, the sun is so big, it's cool without clothes!"

Zhao Rang knew that Ye Sanniang was going to make fun of herself again, so he quickly interrupted him and said:

"I don't know if it's cool without clothes, but I know that without a knife, I'll die quickly!"

After that, he gave her a blank look.

Ye Sanniang chuckled and said:

"It's not that my sister is here, they all said that they will protect you, so it will definitely be. Am I the one whose words do not count?

At this point, he paused, and then continued:

"At the beginning, I found that my husband didn't have any sincerity for me, so I said that I must kill him, and this is not true."

Zhao Rang turned his head and looked at Ye Sanniang in surprise.

This is the first time she has taken the initiative to bring up her previous affairs.

Although this incident has been widely spread in the northern territory of Dawei, it is still very surprising to hear the main owner talk about it with his own ears.

Zhao Rang felt that he should say something at this time, and he couldn't let Ye Sanniang wait here alone, but he didn't know what to say, so his brain twitched, and he actually asked:

"How did you kill him?"

A normal person would never ask such a question, but an abnormal person would not ask at all. Zhao Rang's words can be described as earth-shattering!

On the contrary, Ye Sanniang was very calm, and there was no trace of turbulence on her face, and she replied easily:

"It's the same as when you killed the guy surnamed Zheng in my shop."

Zhao Rang took a deep breath.

He cut off the head of the surnamed Zheng with a knife, but he didn't expect Ye Sanniang to be really ruthless.

But when she mentioned this matter, it gave Zhao Rang a little headache...... The Zheng family is also a similar martial arts family in the north, and when the matter is over in the Western Regions, he still has to go back after all. Paper doesn't wrap the fire, thinking about it, the Zheng family now knows who did it.

On the surface, they probably won't make any noise, but secretly making trips is the most uncomfortable. The old clan all said that guns are easy to dodge, and hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, Zhao Rang can't stay in the high-walled compound at home for the rest of his life, right?

Thinking about it this way, his need for a good knife at hand became even more urgent!

"Master, can we go up the mountain directly?"

Ximen Gongzi explained to the guide that Zhao Rang was asked about the advance and retreat, and the others only needed to serve them respectfully and politely.

Only then did Zhao Rang notice that he had reached the foot of the mountain after talking to Ye Sanniang.

"Up, up the hill!"

According to the guide, when Dawei was not divided into two in the past, this Songtao Mountain often had people from Dawei who often came and went, and even some scholars and scholars of the academy built a pavilion on the mountain to cook tea and enjoy the scenery.

"You say there's a pavilion on this mountain?"

Building a pavilion is not the style of the people of the Western Regions, and the Dawei people come to visit the mountains and rivers and see the different scenery can be understood, but it is a little unusual to spend energy to build a pavilion

"Yes, sir, there is a pavilion, what is the name of the little one. Every time I go over the mountain, I look at it from a distance and never dare to get close. ”

Zhao Rang keenly grasped the word "don't dare" in the guide's words and asked:

"Why do you dare not? Is there any danger in that pavilion? ”

The guide swallowed and replied:

"Later, the Dawei people almost did not come, and the pavilion was deserted. Then I don't know why, the people of the government divided the area around the pavilion ten zhang away, and they were all forbidden to let civilians approach! ”

Zhao Rang frowned when he heard this, feeling more and more strange.

Barren mountains, abandoned pavilions, what other taboos can make the people of the Western Regions pay so much attention.

The guide saw that Zhao Rang was silent, and felt that he should have moved his mind and wanted to take a look, so he whispered:

"If the master wants to go, the little one knows a way, it is very hidden, and there are almost no people who know it."

Zhao Rang didn't agree immediately, after all, he wasn't alone. Ximen Dazhuang and Ye Sanniang were nothing, but he had to ask Yuan Mingkong's opinion.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Mingkong had already come over and said:

"Of course you have to see such an unexpected place! Where there is an accident, there may be an unexpected joy. ”

Zhao Rang nodded and said:

"That's right! Maybe the swordsmith is hiding near the pavilion! ”

Although this possibility is very small, there is no absolute. Since the guide knows the path, it's always a good idea to try his luck. If you do, you'll have to ask for a knife anyway.

I just don't know if the cutler will agree, listening to the description of the master of the stove room, the cutler should be a person with personality and temper, not a person who will work if he is paid.

"Sir, if we decide to go, we must tie our horses down the mountain. On that road, people can go up, but horses will have difficulty. There are a few places that are so dangerous that people can only turn around. ”

Zhao Rang asked with a smile:

"If that's the case, then isn't my brother unable to go up?"

The guide raised his eyes to Simon Da Zhuang, estimated his size, and replied honestly: "

"Enough to choke ......"

Simon was not happy to get up when he was strong.

If everyone went and only he and the horse stayed, didn't that mean he was like a brute? It's worse than killing him!

Seeing that Simon Da Zhuang's eyes were wide open, the guide immediately changed his words and said very tactfully:

"But this old man looks like a practitioner, so there must be no problem!"

Zhao Rang waved his hand and said:

"Let's see! He's not stupid, he really can't get by, just blame himself for being too strong, it has nothing to do with you, just rest assured to lead the way! ”

At the foot of the mountain, they found a secluded place, tied the horses, and deliberately loosened the reins so that the horses could eat the weeds in the ground, and then followed the guide and climbed step by step along the path to the pavilion.

The more he went up, the more Zhao Rang found that this Songtao Mountain was indeed a little special. It stands to reason that the Western Regions are dry, but halfway up Songtao Mountain, there are clouds and mist. Tasson was born extremely strong, and the color was a little greener. The pine cones that fell to the ground did not crack much, and there were still a lot of pine pollen in them. Grinding it with your hands, the rosin is fragrant, and it is faintly mixed with fruity aroma.

However, looking up, the mountain wind passed by, and it was full of pine waves, and Zhao Rang didn't see a single peach tree, and felt that it was a little inconsistent with the name of the mountain.

"Did the mountain people who used to live in Chagan Tologai live on this mountain?"

The Guide shook his head and explained:

"Songtao Mountain is divided into north and south, and the old man is stepping on the north slope now. The north slope is only empty and has some beautiful scenery, so there were many Dawei people in the past. Those mountain people often go to the southern slope, which is rich in animals, especially squirrels! ”

Yuan Kexin suddenly interjected:

"Squirrel?! Do you eat squirrels? ”

In the girl's impression, the squirrel is extremely cute, which is really difficult to open, but the guide said with some excitement:

"Yes! Squirrel meat is delicious, we usually eat it grilled! ”

"And what does squirrel meat taste like?"

None of the people present had ever eaten a squirrel.

When Simon Dazhuang heard about eating, he began to be greedy.
