"Look at them." Qin Keyuan suddenly gestured to Zhao Ning to look ahead.

I saw Meng Congyi and Deng Yi and his party talking very happily, just half a mile away, a group of people laughed up and down several times, I heard that Deng Yi is very good at seeking Taoism and asking immortals, his eyes are even brighter, I want to borrow Deng Yi's Taoist book to see, Deng Yi's Taoist book that was about to be rotted by him, this has been stuffed in his arms like a baby, at this time Deng Yi only hesitated for a moment and handed over the Taoist book to Meng Congyi.

Meng Congyi glanced twice, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said to Deng Yi with a bitter face, "I obviously know all these words, why are they so obscure." ”

Deng Yi agreed, but he had studied it anyway, and he had asked Qin Keyuan for advice in the past few days, and he understood it more or less, so he taught Meng Congyi word by word.

The guards next to them held up parasols for them intimately, so as not to harm their eyes from the direct reflection of the sun when they read a book.

Zhao Ning saw the scenes, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "This Meng girl is really likable, and I suddenly know where my subtle feeling comes from." She seems to have a natural charm that attracts people to be approachable and friendly. ”

At this moment, the convoy almost reached the position of the pass, which was guarded by dozens of heavy soldiers.

The two soldiers in front of the pass, with their spears crossed, blocked their way and asked them to hand over the customs clearance sheets, which were all issued by the imperial court or the government, indicating that their identities had been preliminarily verified, and they were not spies or dangerous people from other countries.

This thing is for Zhao Ning and the two, they can be fooled by conjuring up one, and the convoy has regular procedures, Meng Congyi also took out a small volume of customs clearance documents, which should have been released like this, who would have thought that this group of soldiers still did not move, but handed a look to the other soldiers, and wanted to search the carriage.

It is reasonable to search the carriage, who would have thought that one of the soldiers, without even lifting the curtain of the carriage, directly pierced the spear from the window or the door of the carriage, fortunately, in order to clear the customs, there was no one in the carriage, so there would be no danger in doing so.

But the back carriages are loaded with goods, which are the four treasures of the study and the splendid fabrics, all of which are the best of the best, if this is pierced a few times, how can it be pulled to Nanjing to sell.

Deng Yi hurriedly trotted to the soldier's side, and discussed in a good voice, "Official, the car behind is full of goods, so you can't check it like this." ”

"I don't care what kind of goods you are loading, if there are other people hidden in it, and even more so, there are thieves with Zhengyang Guan hidden in it, let you slip away like this, I can't afford this sin, get out of the way!"

The soldier said that he was going to knock Deng Yi away, and he was about to stab the pile of goods with his spear, but he didn't want to hear a voice at this time, "Slow." ”

It was Meng Congyi who spoke, and Meng Congyi looked at the soldier dissatisfied, "It's all Boss Deng's business capital, if you break it, who will they find to reason." There are not a few cars here, you are really afraid of missing it, you can't unload it and open it to see, there is so much work left, so what are you going to do at the gate in the next time, you can't drink and be lazy. ”

The soldier was about to get angry when he was blocked by Meng Congyi, but when he saw her appearance, he opened his mouth, swallowed some rude words directly, and said, "There are still many convoys waiting behind here, if one convoy and one convoy are unloaded and checked, it will not be over tonight." ”

Meng Congyi raised his eyebrows, "I don't care how you check them, but Boss Deng's car can't be arbitrary." ”

She turned her head to look at the waiting convoy behind her, several of the convoy's guards had come forward to investigate, but she probably felt a slight conflict ahead, and did not dare to step forward directly, so she didn't hear what Meng Congyi said to the soldiers, only to see Meng Congyi shouting loudly to those guards, "Brothers, the goods of our caravan are precious, and they must be opened and inspected, and it will delay everyone's time, please forgive me." ”

A few guards didn't speak, but their expressions were a little loose, and after a while, one of the owners of the rear convoy smiled and saluted, and said hello, "Girl is polite, the customs inspection is already stricter, and the waiting is just to wait, you take your time." ”

The corners of Meng Congyi's mouth raised, he smiled and saluted him back, and turned to look at the soldiers at the pass.

probably heard that the owner of the car behind him didn't say anything, so he followed Meng Congyi's statement.

The group unloaded and inspected like this, and it took an hour or two for the convoy to pass the Yueshan Pass.

After leaving the customs, Deng Yi hurriedly thanked Meng Congyi, "Thank you, Miss Meng." As he spoke, he beckoned the accompanying guards to take out the fine brocade from the goods and handed it to Meng Congyi, "This is my little heart, and I also ask Miss Meng to be a subordinate." ”

Meng Congyi was surprised and stretched out his hand again and again to push away.

Zhao Ning and Qin Keyuan watched from the side, not mixed in, at this moment, Zhao Ning suddenly felt something, and his divine sense swept into the forest, with the aura of a demon spirit.

She didn't even think about it, in the place where the convoy and the group had not stopped, the ground's miscellaneous stones, fallen leaves, branches and everything else suddenly formed a net to stop the sudden demon beast.

It was a black python, with a triangular head slightly larger than a human head, a body more than a foot wide, and a body length of more than ten zhang.

There was a half-finger-long mark on the forehead of the giant python, which was the mark of a second-order demon beast, comparable to the foundation building period.

But this giant python is even more flexible, running so fast, at the moment when it is about to hit the net, its body is directly twisted into a right angle, sideways around the net, and continues to rush towards this, such a persistent attitude makes Zhao Ning a little surprised.

Just about to use foreign objects to block this unknown demon beast.

Qin Keyuan suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on Zhao Ning's shoulder, Zhao Ning looked at it suspiciously, and saw Qin Keyuan's eyes moving slightly, which meant that there was no need to stop it.

Zhao Ning didn't understand what Qin Keyuan meant, but nothing could change her more than trusting Qin Keyuan.

She instantly withdrew her divine sense, and within three breaths, the black python had already pressed out the sense of earth movement and approached the visual range of the naked eye.

"That'...... What is that?! "Some of the accompanying guards saw the black python and were so shocked that they couldn't even take out the weapon in their hands.

Deng Yi, who was originally in the same way as Meng Congyi, turned his head and saw that the huge snake head was already three feet above his head, and the snake letter spit out, and the forked tip seemed to touch his hair.

"Ahh!!h Deng Yi screamed loudly, and his brain twitched straight back.

"Boss Deng!" Meng Congyi was startled, and the accompanying guards were divided into two sides, while helping Deng Yi, who was about to faint at any time, he was about to attack the black python with the weapon in his hand.

But she didn't want to be at this time, Meng Congyi hurriedly pounced and hugged the black python, and the black python rolled around her half.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is my friend." This sentence was said to the black python.

Zhao Ning's gaze turned back and forth on the black python and Meng Congyi, as if he was thinking about something.

This black python demon spirit qi is wrapped in a lot of water vapor, it should be a water python that has practiced in the water for at least a hundred years.

The black python bent the front half slightly, and rubbed its triangular head against Meng Congyi.

Deng Yi and his party were stunned, Deng Yi stretched out his hand and pointed at the black python, "Miss Meng, this is your ...... Your ......"

He didn't say "your" for a long time, but Meng Congyi answered, "This is my family, my companion." Didn't you just ask me who I was with? That's it. ”

Deng Yi swallowed his saliva, he never thought that the companion in Meng Congyi's mouth was not a person, but a huge black python.

No matter how friendly he is to Meng Congyi, he can't accept walking with a giant python.

"Miss Meng, my little life is almost half scared, you ...... Why don't you go to Nanjing on your own? ”

Meng Congyi was slightly disappointed, patted the black python, let the black python let go, she stepped forward and said "Okay", and said, "Congyi also thanked Boss Deng for this period of time." ”

"No, no, no." Deng Yi waved his hand, a little guilty and a little scared, and stuffed the package wrapped in fine brocade into Meng Congyi's arms, "It's that Deng Mou is really bold." ”

Meng Congyi sneered, teased a few words, and then looked at Zhao Ning, she walked over a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, Sister Lin, ah no, you look like you're similar to me, I don't know what to call it, maybe the previous enthusiasm scared Sister Lin." But it's not a lie to say that I have a déjà vu with Sister Lin, if it's fate, the next time we meet, Sister Lin will look at the face of the reunion, and we'll have a good chat. ”

Before Zhao Ning could speak, the black python swam over, its head stretched out, and the snake letter probed towards Zhao Ning.

Meng Congyi directly grabbed the snake letter of the black python with a little toughness, and broke the black python's head back, "Da Hei, don't scare Sister Lin." ”

But she said like a condensation, "Sister Lin, even Da Hei feels that Sister Lin seems to be familiar." Then I'll go, Sister Lin will see you again. ”

Zhao Ningwan'er, "Where is Miss Meng going?" Why do we have to know each other when we meet, we can't say that we are on the same road. ”

Meng Congyi's eyes lit up, and he saw Zhao Ning saluting Deng Yi's hand, "After three days together, Boss Deng took care of us very much, but there was a difference when we met, it was time to say goodbye to Boss Deng, and I also wish Boss Deng a prosperous business." ”

There seems to be a mark in the dark that has entered Deng Yi's fate.

Deng Yi probably understood that they had another conversation with Meng Congyi, so he didn't say anything more, thanked Zhao Ning for his blessings, and beckoned the group to go away.

Zhao Ning raised his eyes to look at Qin Keyuan, but it was too late to ask Senior Uncle Qin's opinion on such an arrangement.

Qin Keyuan brought the carriage and only said, "Get on the carriage." ”

Zhao Ning bent his eyebrows, turned to look at Meng Congyi, raised his hand to invite, and invited Meng Congyi into the carriage.

Meng Congyi was quite happy, Xiao jumped into the carriage, Zhao Ning also followed, Qin Keyuan sat outside the carriage as the coachman, and walked forward with the carriage, the black python twisted his body on his heels.

Meng Congyi lifted the curtain and glanced at the brown horse pulling the cart, and said strangely, "Brother Lin, your horse is bolder than Boss Deng, Da Hei is behind him, and its legs and feet are not trembling at all." ”

Of course, he won't tremble, because this is not a carriage at all, from the horse to the carriage, Qin Keyuan came out with a carriage.

Qin Keyuan didn't answer her surprise, and asked, "Where is Miss Meng?" ”

"I'm going to Nanjun, what about you?"

Zhao Ning took over, "So are we." ”

Meng Congyi sat up straight and smiled, "Look, Sister Lin, I knew that we were destined, and we must have met somewhere." Oh yes, I haven't asked Sister Lin's birthday yet, and my sister doesn't know if it's called right. I was born in October of the year of Jiaxu. ”

Zhao Ning shook his head, "I don't know the date of birth, probably the same age as Miss Meng." Miss Meng can be called whatever she wants. ”

"Don't even Brother Lin know?" Meng Congyi was surprised, but how could this matter be asked in detail, only to feel that the two brothers and sisters of the Lin family must depend on each other, and they can't even remember their age, "Sister Lin, don't be sad, I am also a homeless and parentless person, but I have been accompanied by Da Hei since I was a child, and I have some friends." ”

Zhao Ning pretended to be curious and glanced at the black python that was following the carriage, "Miss Meng's experience is also magical, I don't know if I can share it." ”

"It's nothing." Meng Congyi didn't care, "I seem to have been thrown into the river when I was a child, and then I was rescued by Da Hei and sent back to the village, but Da Hei often came to take care of me, and when I was older, I left the village by myself, came out for a walk, and made more friends." ”

She said that these were full of happiness, and she also condensed with Zhao, "When you get to the boundary of Nanjun, I will take you to meet my friends." ”

Zhao Ning's face was calm, but his heart was turbulent, Meng Congyi's introduction was just a few words, but how could this saying "when I was a child being thrown into the river and rescued by a black python" so familiar, it seems that I have heard it somewhere.

She couldn't help but tilt her head to look at the curtain, looking at Qin Keyuan through the curtain.

"Sister Lin?" Seeing that Zhao Ning didn't answer her words, as if she was still a little distracted, Meng Congyi shouted strangely, and then looked at Zhao Ning's line of sight, "Oh, Sister Lin is worried about Brother Lin, Brother Lin doesn't look very good, or call Brother Lin in, be careful of catching a cold from the wind." ”

Zhao Ning came back to his senses and shouted "brother" according to his words.

The curtain shook slightly, Qin Keyuan opened a gap, his expression was as usual, but his voice was lower, "It's okay, you can talk." ”

The curtain was lowered again, and Meng Congyi was quite talkative, talking a lot along the way.

Zhao Ning is used to being silent, but this time he talked a lot, so he took a lot of things out of Meng Congyi's words.

For example, Meng Congyi lived in Linglang Village in Wumingguo, and was picked up by the village.

Another example is that there is a tradition of sacrificing the Dragon King in Linglang Village, Meng Congyi was thrown down the river because of the sacrifice, and there was a baby with her.

Another example is that Meng Congyi remembered very early, and she had some impressions about the time of the sacrifice, even if it was a little vague, the black python also told her a lot, which made her still feel sorry for leaving the village that actually took care of her.

Zhao Ning vaguely seemed to know something, about himself.

She remembered what Qin Keyuan had told her that day.

“…… When one day, you suddenly feel that fate is involved, it may be the family you remember. ”

Although Meng Congyi is not a member of the Zhao Ning family, they may have had an intersection of their fates when they were very young.

For example, the two children who were sacrificed.

After a few days of staggering like this, they entered the pass of Nanjing, and arrived at a small town on the edge of the jurisdiction of Nanjun.

Before entering the town, I saw a few people waiting outside the entrance of the town, and there were many servants accompanying them, looking at this battle and the luxurious carriage of Minghuang, eighty percent of this group of people had relatives of the emperor.

When the carriage stopped, Meng Congyi lifted the curtain, looked up, and was full of surprise, jumping off the carriage and trotting away.

"Brother Wenxuan, Brother Hong, Brother You!" She shouted a few people on her face, and several of them were full of joy on their faces.

But I heard another cough from behind a few people, and a handsome man in a brocade robe turned out, and Meng Congyi was even more smiling, "Brother the third prince!" ”

The third prince raised his hand and pinched her face, "Did you girl go crazy in Dayue Kingdom, or did she hide in Wuming Kingdom, how long has it been since she came to Nanjing." I didn't even send a letterhead, if I hadn't gotten the news of the pass this time, it just so happened that I was in Nanjun with Tai Ershao, but I couldn't stop you. ”

"The third prince is not here, and You Jing and I can also take care of Congyi." A man in a knightly robe walked out with a sword and stared at the three princes coldly.

"Can you compare to the Royal Palace?"

Seeing that these people were about to have a dispute, Meng Congyi squeezed into the center of several people and forcibly changed the topic, "I met a new friend, and it was like a friend at first sight, I took her to meet you." ”

The Xuanyi knight asked, "Isn't it the man who provoked him again?" ”

"Oops! Brother Hong, what nonsense are you talking about! Meng Congyi glared at him, then trotted back to the carriage and said to Zhao Ning, "Sister Lin, I'll take you to meet my friend." ”

Zhao Ning was not surprised by Meng Congyi's sudden arrival of four very powerful friends.
