The carriage drove smoothly on the official road, while Zhou Li sat on the high-headed horse, walking side by side with Zhu Qianyun.

"It'll be midnight in a little while."

Glancing at the moon in the sky, Zhu Qianyun said softly: "It's okay, I can catch up." ”

"I didn't expect that there would be such a small episode at this distance."

Zhou Li's horseback riding skills are not very superb, and those who can be taught are too learned, but it is still possible to control them smoothly. He looked at his black horse, touched its mane, and sighed: "There are really a lot of things. ”

"Don't you know what you're trying to do?"

Tang Guan, who was sitting behind Zhu Qianyun, wrapped his fingertips around his sideburns, and said boredly: "It has not been two months since we reunited, and there have been more incidents than I have been in Tangmen for several years. ”

"yes."

Zhu Qianyun nodded with palpitations, "I haven't encountered so many things in the capital. ”

"Beijing..."

Zhou Li touched his chin and asked with some curiosity: "Qianyun, how did you live in the capital a few years ago?" I haven't had time to ask you. ”

"It's okay."

Holding the reins in his hand, Zhu Qianyun thought about it and said flatly: "It's just to learn etiquette, astronomy and geography, chat with those uncles and uncles, ask the queen for peace, and go to Taixue in the capital to go through the motions, it's quite boring." ”

"It just sounds boring."

Nodding, Tang Wan echoed: "It's not as exciting as Zhou Li's three-year innocent little chick." ”

"Oh!"

Zhou Li laughed angrily, pointed at Tang Guan, and smiled hideously, "Then I'm also better than a certain father's filial piety, at least I didn't put my mother's drowning spring in the grandfather's bowl, no, now it's too much!" ”

Tang Guan was silent.

"Okay, okay, don't reveal the truth, you won't have to reveal it after you reveal it again."

Zhu Qianyun interrupted the two with a smile, like Captain Dragonfly, who also stopped the two from slandering each other. Of course, she is mainly afraid that these two things will slander herself, so there will be fun.

"Speaking of Tang Guan, are you not going to go back to Tangmen?"

Zhou Li suddenly thought of this and asked curiously.

"I don't know."

Tang Wan responded melancholy: "I definitely don't dare to go back now, after all, there was too much commotion at the time, and my father's anger is estimated to have not subsided, and I am afraid that I will not die completely if I go back rashly." ”

"Not completely dead?"

Zhu Qianyun was stunned for a moment.

"That's the Tang Gate."

Zhou Li gloated and said: "My little broken method is not worth mentioning in front of the Tang Sect, if they want life to be worse than death, then it is really better to live than to die." ”

"Then you don't have to be presumptuous."

When Tang Guan heard this, he hurriedly said euphemistically: "The Tang Sect uses poison at most, and it is still not comparable to a compound high-end talent like you, don't kill the Tang Sect." ”

"Are you really complimenting me?"

Zhou Li touched his chin, a little suspicious.

"From the heart."

Extremely rare, Tang Guan is so sincere that people can't bear to question it.

Rushing to the night is an irrational decision in Daming. Often in the middle of the night, unless it is a heavily guarded place near the capital, it is definitely not a good idea to ride the moon in the wilderness.

Whether it's bandits and robbers, or those who have become wanderers, the demons of the wilderness, the monsters, and the fanatics of all kinds of paganisms. Under the darkness of the night, any mysterious and treacherous existence may be the enemy of a convoy.

But Zhou Li's group of people is different.

According to Cen Shu, Zhou Li's group of strange things got together, and they can definitely be called a hundred ghosts walking at night, and the gods and ghosts retreat.

It's a pity.

Glancing at Yun Baibai on the side, Cen Shu, who was holding a scroll in the carriage, sighed softly and shook his head with some regret.

It's a good little girl.

Why did you leave last week?

Just when Cen Shu sighed that it was finally possible to have a normal person, but it was immediately estimated that it would not be too normal, the small village mentioned by Liu Gong also appeared in front of everyone.

This is an ordinary northern village that is not too big or small, with dozens of families and a standard bent ondol. Except for an ancestral hall that is quite exquisite, the largest building in the whole village is a two-story earthen building in the center, which is not lit.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Zhou Li saw the plaque on the wooden stake, and then he knew that this village was called Tujia Village. At this time, it was already the first quarter moon in the sky, there was no sound at midnight, and the whole village was darkly lit and silent. The arrival of Zhou Li and the others was obviously a little noisy, whether it was the carriage or those good horses, it made this originally silent village a little chaotic.

First came a young man from the village, very vigilant, holding an oil lamp in his left hand and his right hand behind his back, obviously holding something. After seeing clearly that the person who came was not a horse bandit, the young man breathed a sigh of relief, but his right hand still did not let go, but turned to Zhou Li sideways, and said:

"Why do you come late at night?"

"Reader?"

Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, the other party's accent and speaking habits did not look like a young man from an ordinary village. But he didn't think much about it, and said bluntly: "Little brother, there should be an old man who came to your village in a carriage, do you have any impression?" ”

"Old man."

The young man repeated these two words, but the doubt and vigilance in his eyes deepened. He took a step back slightly and said calmly: "I haven't seen outsiders in this village for more than half a month, you came from the wrong place." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Li frowned, looked around, confirmed the direction again, and suddenly had doubts in his heart.

That's not right.

This official road is just one avenue, and Liu Gong can also get lost?

"Little brother, think about it again."

Zhou Li turned over and dismounted, and reminded in a friendly manner: "An old man with a goatee and a pair of Western glasses. The carriage should have the sign of Taixue, the two-horse horse-drawn carriage, don't you have an impression? ”

"Nope."

Shaking his head, the vigilance in the young man's eyes became even stronger, "If you have nothing to do, please leave quickly, it's too late, everyone in the village is asleep, please don't bother them." ”

"You're wary."

Zhou Li took a step back, signaling that he had no ill intentions. But when he saw the lingering vigilance and solemnity in the young man's eyes, he was a little curious, and asked:

"What? Outsiders are not welcome in your village. ”

The moment Zhou Li retreated, the young man saw Zhu Qianyun on the horse. When the golden jade token on Zhu Qianyun's waist appeared in his perspective, his pupils suddenly constricted, and in the next second, he suddenly burst out and slashed at Zhou Li's throat.

"Sure enough, you are also a brute who covets the eldest sister!"

With a roar, the knife slashed at Zhou Li's neck. Without waiting for everyone to make a move, the young man turned around like a wind and swiped his knife on the spot, slashing at Zhou Li's waist again.

"Not here."

Zhou Li held the other party's hand holding the knife and said solemnly: "It's really not good." ”
