Finally dealt with the affairs in the city, Chen Yan also let go of the burden in his heart, went back to the camp to pack up, and was inevitably interrogated by Xing'er for a long time.

Chen Yan knew that this matter was confidential, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so he didn't say much to Xing'er, but just said that he would go to the south to deal with the matter of the Yellow Turban Sect.

Although Apricot doesn't believe it, she can't ask anything else.

At this time, going south, it can be said that he is patrolling in micro-clothes, Chen Yan naturally doesn't want others to know that he is a captain of the Yue Cavalry, and he is a prince who supports the army, so he wears civilian clothes, but he looks like a chivalrous man in a martial arts movie.

As for weapons, the halberd was too much of an eyesore, so Chen Yan chose a short halberd, which was both handy and lightweight.

After cleaning up, Chen Yan hurriedly went to the south gate to look for Zhang Liang, and sure enough, Zhang Liang was leading four horses at this time and was already waiting for him at the south gate. For long-distance travel, the horse must be prepared a few more in order to be replaced, Zhang Liang is a veteran of the rivers and lakes after all, and these truths are still understood.

Zhang Liang saw Chen Yan dressed lightly, and said with a smile: "Junlang is dressed like this, I can't recognize it." ”

Chen Yan smiled slightly, suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed at this time, and said: "It's rare not to be in the army, and I'm a little uncomfortable wearing these soft clothes." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then got on their horses and headed south, the stakes were so important that no one dared to delay.

Running all the way, Chen Yan is inevitably tired, and people are naturally hungry when they are tired. Chen Yan was young and strong, and it was when the amount of food was good, so it didn't take long for him to take out dry food to eat.

Chen Yan has traveled back for a long time, and he has long adapted to the food of this era, and he tastes it with relish. When he was already half full, he found that Zhang Liang on the side was looking at him with a smile on his face, just like looking at a young child.

Only then did Chen Yan realize that he was too rude, and he didn't even ask his uncle if he was hungry, and only cared about eating for himself. He hurriedly apologized: "Uncle Shi, I'm so hungry, it's really rude, I didn't even ask your old man to eat it myself......"

Zhang Liang smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, I don't eat these things." ”

Chen Yan was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "What?" You don't eat these things? What does that mean? ”

Zhang Liang smiled: "It seems that my eldest brother is too stingy, and he didn't even teach you Bigu?" ”

Chen Yan suddenly realized that he remembered the skill of "Bigu".

The so-called Bigu is a method for cultivating the truth, not eating grains, and specializing in practicing qi. When this method is just introduced, you can reduce the amount of food, or a meal every three days, or a meal every half a month, and when you reach Xiaocheng, you can go without eating for several months, but your body is more powerful, and then you can eat it by collecting the aura of heaven and earth, and enter the state of "half immortal". And when the cultivation reaches the end, the practitioner can not even eat the aura, and truly enter the "immortal" stage.

Chen Yan naturally heard about this matter, and when he saw that Zhang Liang actually knew how to Bigu, he couldn't help asking, "Can Uncle Shi stop eating now?" ”

Zhang Liang said with a smile: "My Taoism is still shallow, and I can only go without food for half a year." I will teach you the Fa in a while, you have extraordinary roots and bones, and your cultivation is deep, if you start cultivating now, after ten years, you may be able to reach the realm of collecting spiritual energy. ”

When Chen Yan heard that he could reach such a high level, he was so happy that he even dropped the dry food in his hand for a while.

The uncle and nephew talked while resting, and time flew by. At this time, the two of them rested in the wilderness, but after all, they couldn't spend the night here, and after a short rest, they still had to continue their journey.

Not far ahead is the pass of the Gyeonggi Stronghold, which is now nominally under the jurisdiction of the Son of Heaven, but the actual control is in the hands of Lü Bu. Chen Yan is now a thorn in Lu Bu's side and a thorn in his flesh, and Zhang Liang is the leader of the anti-thieves who has been on the run for many years, I really don't know how these two people will pass through this pass.

Gradually, the day has been slanted to the west, Zhang Liang and Chen Yan are still not to the pass, there is a post pavilion in front, the so-called "ten miles and a pavilion, ten pavilions and a township", here is a pavilion.

Chen Yan raised his eyes and saw that there were four or five men stationed around this post pavilion, some of them looked like merchants, and they didn't seem to be in danger.

Zhang Liang was naturally very satisfied with this place, and said: "It seems that we can't pass the customs tonight, so it's better to rest here for the time being." ”

Chen Yan's riding skills are not very good, and he is already tired at the moment, and when he heard Zhang Liang's suggestion, he immediately nodded in agreement.

The two of them tied their horses and simply approached the post house.

The men in the post pavilion seemed to be in a group, and when they saw Chen Yan and Zhang Liang coming in, they all stood up and nodded as a sign of friendship.

Ancient times are not better than modern times, there are travelers everywhere, the ancients traveled outside, rarely met people, if they meet, they will travel together, a large number of people, not afraid of robbers; and can also defend against predators together.

The leader of the men was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was smart-looking and seemed to be from the south. He stood up and arched his hand and said: "A certain is Lao Cheng, a person from Changsha, these are my buddies, we went north to sell some medicinal materials, and now the medicinal materials are sold out, and we are leaving for our hometown." ”

In his words, this old Cheng was very polite, and seemed to be a little jealous of Zhang Liang and Chen Yan. But it's no wonder that the grandmaster of Zhang Liang's generation naturally has a terrifying momentum in his demeanor, and Chen Yan is a battle-hardened person, so he naturally has a murderous aura, and an ordinary businessman like Lao Cheng is inevitably a little scared when he sees it.

Zhang Liang saw that Lao Cheng had reported to his home, and he couldn't be rude immediately, so he bowed and saluted back: "In the next Zhang San, he is a Langzhong." After that, he pulled Chen Yan and said, "This is my nephew, and we are also going back to our hometown to visit relatives." ”

Seeing Zhang Liang's kind expression, Lao Cheng relaxed his vigilance, and immediately asked with a smile: "Where are the two of you?" ”

Zhang Liang saw that Lao Cheng was still talking, smiled slightly, stopped answering, and turned around to pack up. Chen Yan didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he kept a straight face and didn't answer.

Lao Cheng touched his nose and wanted to have a seizure, but when he saw that Chen Yan and Zhang Liang were tall and carrying weapons, it was difficult to make a mistake, so he had to go back and whisper to his group of guys.

While packing his luggage, Chen Yan eavesdropped on Lao Cheng's gang. At this time, Chen Yan's internal strength was outstanding, and his hearing was naturally very clever, and it was effortless, and the words of Lao Cheng's gang reached his ears.

"These two people are not easy to mess with, let's take care of them less......" I just heard Lao Cheng say.

After that, one person responded: "That old man looks like a doorman, like a practicing family." ”

"That young man is tall and big, and he is not an ordinary guy, and he also brought an iron halberd, this guy should be an errand boy in the army, right?"

"That's right, look at his halberd, the best materials are beaten, if it weren't for the army, where would there be the money to fight such a good halberd!"

The group of guys whispered, but they really guessed Chen Yan's origin.

Chen Yan didn't care, he secretly smiled, which was considered to be fun.

The group of guys speculated for a while, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhang Liang was the military advisor of a certain army, and Chen Yan was his personal bodyguard, and this old and young man should be preparing to go to the territory of a certain warlord to negotiate.

Chen Yan listened interestingly, and looked at Zhang Liang, only to see that Zhang Liang was also smiling, as if he was impressed by the imagination of this group of businessmen.
