Qin Wen and Ao Yu chatted in the room for a while, Ao Yu suddenly remembered something, and said to Qin Wen: "A letter came from Dingwu Pass a few days ago, you were still in retreat at that time, and my name was also written on the letter, so it was sent to me, it was written by the Great Elder. ”

Qin Wen hurriedly asked at this time, "What is written in the letter, are they still in Dingwu Pass?"

Ao Yu nodded and said: "It's still in Dingwu Pass, but Xiang Gongzi has also been to the military department during this time, and now the Hu Kulie tribe has all returned to the pasture thousands of miles away from Qingshitan, and it is estimated that the order to adjust the control of Fu to return to Beijing should have been issued, but now the situation in Dingwu Pass is not very good, I will bring you the letter." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked to his wooden table, picked up a piece of letterhead pressed under the candlestick, handed it to Qin Wendao, and said, "I was waiting for you to send it over after you got out of the customs, and it just so happened that you came today." ”

After Qin Wen took the letterhead, he first took a general look, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said in a worried tone: "Dingwu Pass is indeed difficult now, Guan Fu is estimated to have received the news that he is going back to Beijing, and during this time, Guan Shuo has been forcing Guan Shuo to send troops to the indigenous tribes left outside the Muzha Pass, and even did not hesitate to drive these tribes to the side of Dingwu Pass. ”

"Dingwu Pass has been abandoned all these years, and the city wall has been in disrepair for many years, if it weren't for the remnants of the formation set up by Lu Mo in the north, it would be very difficult to hold the pass, and it would be impossible to avoid losses, the most important thing is that the pills are relatively lacking, and the pills equipped by the military department are all intercepted in Luming City, and now except for Qin Xiao refining some pills in the Du family manor, they basically rely on other cities to buy pills at a high price. ”

Ao Yu hesitated for a moment and said: "I also read this letter, now it is more haode is eldest brother and your clan is not a problem, I gave the person with the letter some pills and spirit stones last time, although it doesn't have much effect, but it can barely help some, then big brother, what are you going to do this time?"

Qin Wen pondered for a moment and said: "When I was in Luming City, the Guan City Lord also helped me a lot, and now we just have nothing to do in the capital, why don't you bring some pills refined during this time to Dingwu Pass to have a look, I still have some spirit stones in my hand, I can help as much as I can." ”

Ao Yu got up and said: "Okay, this hunt is over, Xiang Gongzi is left with only the selection of Long Jue, let's take advantage of this time to go to Dingwuguan, maybe in less than a month, the order of the military department will be issued to Luming City, and after Guan Fu returns to Beijing, it will not be too late for us to come back." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "This time, Han Duan was also allowed to stay in the mansion to refine the pill, Shuang'er was also practicing, Lu Mo was refining the new array plate, and he also had to help Ening cultivate the skills, so only the two of us went back, but this is fine, it is more convenient to have fewer people on the road." ”

Ao Yu asked at this time, "Then when are we leaving?"

Qin Wen thought for a while and said, "Since we don't have anything to do now, the sooner the better, I'll go find Xiang Hao now, and by the way, see how many pills used by low-level monks are still stored in the warehouse, let's bring more pills this time, it's more appropriate than bringing spirit stones." ”

After speaking, Qin Wen walked out of Longyun Pavilion, and walked towards Xiang Hao's inner courtyard, before he reached the courtyard gate, he just saw Lao Gao walking out of the courtyard, and after seeing Qin Wen, Lao Gao asked: "Qin Feng, are you here to find the young master?"

Qin Wen nodded and said, "I have something I want to discuss with my son, does he have time now?"

Lao Gao hesitated for a moment and said: "The young master just went into retreat yesterday, I just looked at it, and it hasn't come out yet, if there is nothing important to worship, just tell me directly." ”

Qin Wen told Lao Gao about the fact that he and Ao Yu were going to Dingwu Pass, Lao Gao thought about it, and readily agreed: "There is nothing special in the house now, and the pill is also refined by Han Danshi, when are you going to leave, and when Gongzi is out of the customs, I will report to him again." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "If there is nothing to do, then Ao Yu and I will prepare today, and we will go to Dingwu Pass early tomorrow morning." ”

In the early morning of the next day, a carriage drove out of Duanwang's mansion, Qin Wen and Ao Yu sat in the car, and saw that Qin Wen was still packing up the pills traded from the warehouse, Ao Yu said: "Big brother, if we take the carriage, it is estimated that the delay on the road will be too long. ”

Qin Wen nodded and said: "The carriage will send us outside the city, I don't want the people of the Huiwang Mansion to see us out, so as not to have some branches, and when we get to the outside of the city, we will find a horse market, and then ride to Dingwu Pass." ”

After arriving outside the west gate of the capital, Qin Wen and Ao Yu got out of the carriage, and after letting the coachman drive back to Duanwang's Mansion, the two flew in the northwest direction, and when they passed by the market, they bought two more horses and galloped all the way to Dingwu Pass.

After nearly half a month on the road, Qin Wen and the two finally came to Luming City, because they were not too familiar with the road directly to Dingwu Pass, so they took the road to Luming City, but the two also knew that Luming City was now under the control of Guan Fu, so they went around the city and rode in the direction of Dingwu Pass.

After walking for nearly two more days, seeing that he had crossed another hillside and arrived at Dingwu Pass, Qin Wen suddenly felt that there was a violent aura fluctuation nearby, as if there were monks fighting, Ao Yu turned to Qin Wen at this time and said, "Big brother, this place should be relatively close to Dingwu Pass, let's see what happened?"

Qin Wen nodded and said: "Now there are still relatively few people near Dingwu Pass, maybe it is the soldiers of Dingwu Pass who are fighting this time, let's go and take a look." ”

The two of them turned over and dismounted, and then flew towards the place where the aura fluctuated, and in a few breaths, Qin Wen and Ao Yu came to the top of the hillside, and then after hiding their bodies under a big tree, they looked down the hillside along the location of the aura fluctuations.

I saw that there was a small valley under the slope, and there were five or six monks in black suits who were besieging an old man and a young man, all of whom were in the realm of Xuanshi, and a middle-aged man among the black-clothed men said with a smile: "You two don't want to die anymore, or go back with me obediently, you are now privately bringing spiritual objects to Dingwuguan, at most, it is to serve decades of labor in the mine, why bother to throw your lives here." ”

The white-bearded old man said angrily: "What kind of rules are you? Is there still the royal law of Daqi? We are just passing by, how do you know that we are going to Dingwuguan, even if we go to Dingwuguan, now Dingwuguan is also the border of Daqi, what can't you do, you are a group of robbers." ”

The middle-aged man pouted slightly: "We are robbers, today is the lord and I am in a good mood, so I will say a few words to you, if you don't know each other again, there will be no chance of this zuihou." ”

At this time, there was also a black-clothed man inside: "Don't think that others don't know what you do, I bought the pill from the Huangji Pharmacy and wanted to sell it to Dingwu Pass, this is the third time for you, if it wasn't for our leader's temporary trouble, I would have taken you to the mine a long time ago." ”

After listening to these few words, Qin Wen and the others had a rough judgment in their hearts, although it is not certain that this group of black-clothed people is the monk under Guan Fu, but listening to the semantic meaning of his words and Guan Fu should also be related, now Qin Wen does not know the situation of Dingwu Pass, since he has encountered this situation, it is better to save the two people in front of him.

Thinking of this, Qin Wen said to Ao Yu: "Let's go down and deal with those few people in black." ”

Ao Yu nodded and said conceitedly: "Big brother, you don't have to do it, I can do it myself." After speaking, his body fell vertically, and he fell into the valley in an instant, and just when neither side reacted, Ao Yu waved his palm a few times, and these black-clothed people were all knocked to the ground.

The middle-aged man in black didn't expect that a high-ranking monk would suddenly be killed in the middle of this halfway, so he said with a fierce expression: "Who are you? dare to attack here," At this point, he suddenly stopped, Qin Wen also walked down the hillside at this time, and when he heard the middle-aged man in black still have a little official authority, he couldn't help but smile slightly, he was now roughly sure that these black-clothed people were the army under Guan Fu.

Qin Wen thought for a moment and asked, "Is Dingwu Guan still stationed in Guan Shuo?"

The middle-aged man in black glanced at Qin Wen hesitantly, but did not answer, and the white-bearded old man next to him arched his hand and said, "Thank you two for rescuing, I wonder if the two of you can also go to Dingwuguan?"

Qin Wen nodded and said, "Our two brothers did go to Dingwu Pass, just now I heard that these people were not allowed to bring spiritual objects to Dingwu Pass, so I came down to ask." ”

The black-clothed middle-aged man couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, the high-ranking monk knocked the person on his side to the ground as soon as he came, where is this or ask casually, the white-bearded old man and the young man next to him glanced at each other, and then said to Qin Wen: "Zai Xia and the young master of my family also went to Dingwu Pass, and now Dingwu Pass is still stationed by the Guan City Lord, and I am willing to lead the way for the two of you." ”

Qin Wen looked at the old and young carefully at this time, but he didn't expect them to be master and servant, the young man was a little shy, and when he saw Qin Wen looking at himself, he arched his hand with a little rustiness and said: "Thank you two for your reputation." ”

Qin Wen also nodded casually and said, "No need to be polite, let's go to Dingwu Pass together." ”

Ao Yu looked at the black-clothed man on the ground at this time: "Big brother, what should these people do?"

Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to put them here, it's better to tie them all up and take them to Dingwu Pass, and after meeting the Guan City Lord, let them ask what the origin of these people is." ”
