Ma Fan took Leng Yumo and Zhang Sheng, with five guards, and drove the inconspicuous ox cart slowly south, touring the counties and scenic spots along the road one by one, but he was also very free.

Ma Fan's trip this time, because he wanted to hide his identity and pass through Liu Zhang's territory, naturally made a careful jihua, and every detail was considered perfectly.

The ox cart is because the feudal towns are fighting, and the horses are strategic materials, even if the people are rich and noble, if they take the carriage, it is easy to provoke right and wrong.

And carrying guards seems cumbersome, but it is very necessary, these years, everywhere is in chaos, bandits are everywhere, no matter what purpose you travel, unless you are really poor, how can you feel at ease without a few guards? Ma Fan and others who can ride the ox cart with carriages have shown that they are wealthy families, so it is more suspicious not to bring guards, and there are always people who can be called along the road with guards, and there is no need to do everything yourself, but it also saves a lot of trouble.

These five guards are all selected by Zhang Lu from the Five Doumi Sect, they are absolutely reliable characters, loyal ministers who have reached the level of dead soldiers, and they are all clever, and there are some houses, but along the way, they are also extremely satisfied with Ma Fan, Ma Fan even often instructs a few people to some martial arts, although in Ma Fan's opinion, it is relatively shallow, but it is enough for a few people to be used for a lifetime, so that the five people are more diligent all the way.

More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and it seems that Guanjiang Town near Dujiangyan has arrived.

This Guanjiang Town was originally only a small town in Shu County, but since there is Dujiangyan. The lower reaches have to be fertile land. It has become an important granary, once there is a problem with Dujiangyan, countless fertile fields below will naturally be destroyed, and because there are often foreigners who come here to plunder, harass and destroy, so it has been a great importance to the rulers of the past dynasties, and has always set up Dujiangyan weir officials here, leading soldiers and horses to station, responsible for daily maintenance and resisting vandals.

Because thousands of officers and soldiers are often stationed, many of the families of officers and soldiers have also moved here, and it is also an important grain and grass transit station. There are also many merchants who come and go, and over time, this small Guanjiang town has become a prosperous existence comparable to a county town.

In the afternoon, the ox cart that Ma Fan and the others were riding slowly drove into Guanjiang Town and found a larger inn to live in.

Leng Yumo is not in good health because of this. It was bumpy along the way, a little tired, so as soon as I arrived at the inn, I rested in the room, Zhang Sheng took the initiative to take two guards out to contact the traveling boat, Ma Fan went outside, and walked around the river and Guanjiang Town at random, and felt that it was not much different from the city along the way, and was bored for a while, so he went back to the inn lobby alone and asked for a pot of wine.

This inn is running well, and there are a lot of customers at the moment. The lobby was bustling, so there were not enough tables, so Ma Fan had to make a table with a lone old man under the arrangement of the store.

The two drank a few sips alone, and the old man who was at the same table as Ma Fan suddenly picked up the wine cup and raised it slightly towards him, and drank it himself.

Ma Fan was slightly stunned, and then he also smiled and raised his glass and drank a glass.

After a glass of wine, Ma Fan found that although the old man opposite had no cultivation, he had a childish face, blue eyes, square pupils, and a burning light. The body is like a cooper, and it is really extraordinary. Looking at Ma Fan more closely, he only felt that there seemed to be a faint purple qi circling around his body, and finally formed a book above his head, and he was suddenly shocked.

Although the purple qi above this person's head is not the true dragon purple qi on the emperor's body, it is also unspeakably expensive. And such a strong qi should not be something that ordinary people can have, Ma Fan suddenly respected a little. Hurriedly poured wine for the old man and said, "Is the senior a person?"

"Well, it's a person. The middle-aged man looked at him and said with a faint smile: "Little brother's accent doesn't seem to be like a local." ”...,

Ma Fan nodded and said, "Well, I'm from Luoyang." ”

"Oh, Luoyang, it's so far away from here, why did you come here? Could it be that you came here to escape the war?" the old man seemed to be a very curious person in Yeguo.

Ma Fan shook his breath and said: "My wife is seriously ill, and I can't help all the famous doctors, I heard that there is a famous doctor named Hua Tuo in Jiangdong who has thaumaturgy, and can live the dead with white bones, so I want to take my wife to Jiangdong to try it." ”

"Oh?" the middle-aged man said with a slight surprise: "There are really not many people who are as affectionate and righteous as you, willing to climb mountains and wade through rivers for a woman, and go so far to seek medical advice." ”

"Alas, in fact, there should be quite a few people like me in the world, but they don't need to be like me, I was also forced out, if possible, I would rather not have the praise of my predecessors, and not suffer from this trip. Ma Fan said with a smile.

"Oh......" the middle-aged man suddenly laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting,"

But he immediately suppressed his smile and said slowly: "However, as the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, and it is beneficial for young people to go out and walk more." ”

Ma Fan smiled: "I often comfort myself like this!"

The old man nodded suddenly and said, "It's good to think like this." ”

At this moment, I saw the shopkeeper carrying a big wooden plate and a table of hot dishes, the old man smiled and said: "Today I thought I accidentally ordered too many dishes, I'm afraid I have to pack back to eat cold dishes for a few days, I didn't expect to meet you baby, it seems that I didn't order too much, but God has already foreshadowed your arrival."

Come on, come on, don't think about anything to worry about, here is a pot of haode Du Kang wine, let's take advantage of the hot food, drink it several times. ”

Ma Fan smiled: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

The two drank for a while, and Ma Fan asked, "The senior is a local?"

"Well, I live in the Qingcheng Mountains," Lao Dao agreed casually.

"Qingcheng Mountain, although it is not far away, but there is still some distance, seniors are here to do business?" asked Ma Fan.

The old man smiled and said, "It's not to do anything, I'm just here to hide for a few days." ”

"Oh, that's interesting! I don't know what's going on?" Ma Fan also asked with interest.

The old man waved his hand and said: "It's just that the Shushan faction is engaged in internal coaxing by itself, and then someone comes out with a negative anger and has no place to stay, and values the cave of Qingcheng Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain is occupied by the Five Doumi Sect, so the two sides fought."

As the saying goes, when the gods fight and the little ghosts suffer, as soon as their immortals fight, if mortals like me don't come out, won't they have to tear down my old bones, so I came out early to hide for a few days. ”

Ma Fan looked at what he said casually, and it didn't seem to be lying, but when he heard that he was the Shushan Sect and the Five Doumi Sect, Ma Fan suddenly became more sure that this old man was not an ordinary person, so he asked carefully: "Haven't asked for the name of the predecessor yet?!"

The old man took a large piece of meat, and said while chewing: "Barren Mountain Village, where did you get the number? My name is Li Yi, you can call me Old Man Li!"
