Every year after the beginning of autumn, there is a coolness from the south to the east began to spread, and now to the cold dew, even the easterly maple city has a bone-deep winter rain.

Jiang Ergou lived in Maple Leaf City for more than half a month, but finally left on the day of Hanlu, and in the drizzle, Ergou propped up the umbrella that Qin Xuejian handed him and walked into the rain!

"You can actually go with him, how can you accompany him to go for a walk, my martial arts have made rapid progress in recent years, you have nothing to worry about!"

Behind Jiang Ergou were Qin Yi, who was holding an umbrella for his sister, and Qin Xuejian, who watched Ergou leave.

Qin Yi could see the reluctance in his sister-in-law's eyes, but he didn't understand why she didn't go with him.

Until the figure of Ergou disappeared in his eyes, Qin Xuejian was still looking at the alley.

"Now is not the time, I have talked to him a lot of things these days, but no matter from that aspect, he is not ready to go to this river and lake to do chivalrous righteousness, and the things he carries on his back still need to be completed by himself, and when he finishes what he should do, he will come back to me. That's when we're truly at ease!"

This river and lake is really small, as small as a scholar's hand can be written with a thick pen and light ink, but this river and lake is also very big! Big enough to isolate two people who could have stayed together to different sides of the world!

But having said that, what Qin Xuejian said at this moment was to hurt his brother a lot.

At first, I thought that my sister was reluctant to herself, but now it seems that what kind of reluctance is this, and it is not like those ordinary women who have to temporarily live here for the sake of her husband's career!

Qin Yi, who understood the meaning, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and muttered in his mouth.

"This is still really a big girl, and now I will start to turn my elbow outward, and I am afraid that in the future, even this dart game will fall into the hands of that kid!"

I wanted to pretend not to hear it, but Qin Xuejian was still amused by her brother's words, and she didn't know how to answer, so she changed the topic to another place.

"Wait, wait, I'm not afraid, anyway, it's not just me who is waiting for him, just boil, it's nothing more than to see who is the first girl to become a mother!"

"How do you say that? I can't see that Ergou, that kid is still half-hearted? I can't go and sneak him back and teach him a hard lesson!"

Qin Yi, who was still a little teasing his sister-in-law's mood, became nervous at this moment, not worried about the brother-in-law who had no hair on his mouth and no conscience, but was afraid that his sister would be distressed.

"It's nothing, it's just that when I chat these days, I always ask him if he has met any beautiful girls on the rivers and lakes, and if he is tempted, let him marry him as soon as possible. ”

Speaking of this, the always indifferent Qin Nuxia burst out laughing, but there was a sour taste in the next words.

"It's a shame that that stupid boy thinks he's covering it up well, but I don't know that everything has fallen into my eyes, and at most I didn't break him! Does he think that if he doesn't say it now, he'll be fine in the future? The later he says it, the worse it gets! I want to see when he will take the initiative to tell me!"

Qin Yi was afraid that his sister would think too much about this matter, so he wanted to persuade her, but he didn't have time to open his mouth before Qin Xuejian continued.

"Brother, you don't have to persuade me, I don't have to drill this bull's horn, I understand the reason! It's just that if you don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how powerful you are!"

In fact, women understand many truths in the world, but men must not try to reason with women, understand and understand, but you may not be able to make sense.

If a man doesn't believe and has to try, he will definitely suffer in the end.

"Chen Xici, this name is so good, she looks like a gentle sister!"

Before turning to leave, Qin Xuejian muttered like this.

......

Lantian Pass, as a small but really large border city on the border of eastern Liaodong, is the best place to get out of the customs in this year when it is not very peaceful but has not really started fighting.

It's just that this northern land is really a little cold, so that when Ergou trekked for two months and stood in front of this pass, he had already put on a thick cotton coat! A local scholar in Liaozhou who had been to this Lantian Pass once left a famous sentence here: The snow hugs the Languan and does not move forward!

Later, because of this poem, many scholars from all over the country who had never seen the wind and bones of the border pass and only knew the wind and snow and the moon came here to see what the snow-covered grassland was! As a result, many quite good poems of the border were circulated.

In fact, when Ergou stood at the pass of Lantian Pass for the first time, he was a little dumbfounded, not because this Lantian Pass was too majestic and frightened, but because this Lantian Pass was too ordinary, and even once made Ergou think that this was an ordinary small city.

If it weren't for the fact that there were still large areas on the city wall, and at a glance it was the traces of smoky arrows that had only been left recently, Ergou couldn't believe that this was a border city.

However, this is really no wonder Lantian Pass, although out of this pass even if it leaves Dachu, but its geographical location is really not good!

Walking south at this Lantian Pass, it is only a five-day journey to the Tianshan Pass, the first Xiongguan on the border that lives under natural dangers! Xiao Shanyu, the king of Liaodong, is sitting here.

And if you go up, less than ten days away, there is a huge pass called Tiger Prison Pass.

It can be said that it is the existence of these two passes that supports the border defense line in the southern region of the entire Liaodong border, and their effectiveness is not much better than that of the 40,000 Black Armor Xuan Cavalry.

And Lantian Pass is sandwiched between these two passes, and naturally becomes a little daughter-in-law who can only be angry.

Walking in Lantian Pass, in addition to the small scale of this city scared Jiang Ergou, the development of commerce and trade in this city also made Ergou breathtaking!

All kinds of caravans are endless, and there are not a few people who set up stalls on the street to do small business, if it weren't for the three words Lantian Pass clearly written on the city gate, Ergou thought that he was in the hinterland of Lingzhou or Yuzhou!

Of course, it is natural to say that this is the best choice to get out of the customs at the beginning, and although Lantian Pass is located between the two major passes, although it has suffered a lot of anger, its degree of security is also incomparable to other places.

Although there are only 1,000 black-armored Xuancai cavalry and 2,000 infantry stationed in this Lantian Pass, the general defending the city is only a miscellaneous Wupin Suibian general. But before the time of the real decisive battle, the barbarians on the grassland did not dare to come here, at most they showed off their might three or four miles away from the city.

And if the barbarians on the grassland dare to choose to enter the customs from here, the armies of Tianshan and Tiger Prison only need to gallop overnight for two days and one night to reach here, pinch their tails and give him an urn to catch turtles!

Even when it comes to the real decisive battle, the geographical location of Lantian Pass is much more prominent than that of the Tianshan Tiger Prison, and behind the pass is the continuous mountains, as long as those grassland lords who use wolf cavalry as their army are not fools, they will not choose this place as the attack location.

If they are really bold enough to dare to come here, Lantian Pass can be used as an excellent bait, as long as they ambush more than 30,000 troops in the deep mountains behind Lantian Pass, they will definitely be able to swallow twice as many enemies as the ambush army!

Besides, as the only trade import and export between Great Chu and the grassland, this place will not come here to make trouble unless it is absolutely necessary.

The grassland animal husbandry is extremely developed, but there is also an extreme lack of salt and iron tools, mutually, Dachu is also in short supply of the grassland abundant breeds of horses, so in order to take what they need, everyone has a tacit understanding here to leave a trade gate.

Although Da Chu will still strictly control the number of iron tools in Yanba, the grassland will not let too many BMWs flow into Da Chu, after all, they also know that ninety percent of the BMWs under the crotch of the Black Armor Xuanqi who pose the greatest threat to the grassland flow into Da Chu from their grassland.

And if it weren't for this reason, no matter how much this Lantian Pass was not treated by Da Chu, it would not end up in such a small city, which could be regarded as the only last room left by Da Chu and the grassland that could be eased.

But although commerce and trade are developed, not everyone can come to eat this bowl of rice at Bianguan. There is no big man in the capital to take care of, and there is no Khan of more than 10,000 tribes on the grassland, and your goods can neither get out of the customs nor enter the customs!

Almost ninety percent of the caravans in this Lantian Pass are not qualified to leave the customs, and they are all here to earn some hard-earned money for transporting goods from the border to the interior.

In addition to the four major chambers of commerce with strong financial resources, the only ones who are really qualified to enter and exit the border are the caravans of those top ministers in Beijing. For example, there is a merchant horse team with a Su signboard in Lantian Pass.

Walking inside from the city gate, in addition to the caravan, Ergou also found that there were many ordinary residents here, almost none of these people farmed, and they all lived by doing some small business.

Walking to the center of the city, Ergou found that there was a huge ring here, a bit like the style of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and at this time there was a swordsman known as the Lightning Sword and a swordsman named the Earth Splitting Knife competing in martial arts.

For the rangers of Da Chu, it is not enough to have walked through the Southern Tang Dynasty, if you have not been to the border, if you have not been to the grassland, then it is not considered to have completed this river and lake, and if you can make some fame on the border, even if you return to the local area in the future, you can be regarded as a hero.

And according to some heroes who have been to the grassland, there are also many masters on the grassland. Among them, there is no difference between the powerful one and the first-class master of Da Chu.

Because he saw a lot of young rangers who went to the border like him along the way, Ergou didn't feel strange about the scene in the stands.

"Earth Splitting Knife, I heard that your knife technique is powerful and heavy, and it is enough to crack the stone under one blow, so you have to be merciful to ask for advice today!"

"Is this what to say, or is the sword move of your lightning sword as fast as lightning, come out in a hurry, just this dress by your side, don't cut it for me later!"

The competition on the rivers and lakes, in fact, in addition to the life and death involving faces, most of them will have a mutual praise and praise before they start.

Anyway, the audience in the audience couldn't understand it, as long as they fought for a while and then came up with two beautiful moves, there would be a large cheer under the custody.

Just like a large number of aborigines of this Lantian Pass surrounded under the stands at this time, they have rarely walked out of this city, and where do they know what rivers and lakes are?

But it was also their loud applause again and again that gave the rangers on the stage a chance to become famous!

After being verbose for most of the day, when the effect of the touting was achieved, the audience couldn't wait any longer, and the two on the stage finally started to do it.

After a few moves, let's not talk about the power of these two people's moves, but in terms of excitement, it must be said that it is good-looking. What sword moves are the most beautiful and simplest sword flowers, one after another.

But although from Jiang Ergou's point of view, the moves of the two are really too ordinary, and there are not even one or two moves that make people feel outstanding, but even so, Jiang Ergou still looks at it with relish.

He remembered what the old man had told him before, only the masters in this river and lake are the most boring, and the more humble the strength, the more real the rivers and lakes can be seen.

No matter how cheeky the rest of the old naughty boys are, they can't rely on their own strength to run to the ring to bully juniors.

Seeing halfway, Ergou had already guessed the end, the strength of the Earth Splitting Sword among the two was stronger, the reason was that the sword moves of the lightning sword were too fancy, beautiful but lacking practicality, if it was against people, it was likely to be sacrificed.

But at this time, no matter how you say it, it's just a competition, and it is absolutely impossible to be in danger of life, just like Ergou guessed, after the two fought dozens of moves, the lightning sword was confused by a flaw deliberately dangling from the earth-splitting knife, but was slashed back with a knife, and was defeated!

After the fight, both of them were not red or breathless, and the last knife obviously left room for it, and the lightning sword was not idle and embarrassed after being repulsed, but slowly retracted the sword behind him on the way back and spoke.

"I have heard of the prestige of the earth-splitting knife for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was not false at all, the knife was wide open and closed, invincible, and I did not complain about losing in the next place. ”

Hearing the appreciation, the earth-splitting knife was also a very graceful vertical knife and said with a fist.

"Today is just a brother's carelessness to lose a move to me, if you compete again, there is no certainty and determination to win, it is better for us to say goodbye and fight again one day!"

After the politeness was finished and they said goodbye to each other, the two of them left one after another in the shocked eyes of everyone in the audience.

At this point, if Ergou guesses correctly, the two should know each other, and maybe they will gather together and go to the next city after leaving the city later.

This should be a method that the two of them came up with, I win in this city, and you win in the next city, and so on, through the word of mouth of those spectators, they have a small reputation on this border.

It is naturally not easy for a ranger to become a hero, and if he doesn't rely on himself to think of some ways, it is far away for a small person like the two of them who only has the strength of five grades!
