"I have sent someone to go to the Qingzheng Mountain again, if the return is correct, you and Imperial Doctor Zhu will lead a team to carry a big gift, that is, to tell the master who is suspected of being a true immortal, and say that I will go to the immortal in person in the near future and ask. ”

In person?

Chen Xu was stunned, he wanted to persuade him, but he remembered the matter of Fang Cai, his father had always been stubborn and self-serving, and his advice may not be useful, but it is more likely to attract the anger of his father.

Now even the official doesn't dare to admonish, which shows how far the father and emperor can't say anything.

"Yes, the retainers are commanded. Chen Xu didn't dare to say anything, so he could only take orders.

"Good, good, haha......"

Chen Ji laughed heartily, probably not so happy for a long time: "You and Xiao Yan'er don't have to go back later, let's have dinner in the palace in the evening." ”

......

......

Where to go, Chi Zheng asked the terrain in advance and looked at the county Yayu map, Xiahai is in the mountains to cover the place, it is not easy to take the dry road, the main road to the north and south has been from the next state capital since ancient times, or take the waterway to the south of the Li River.

If you want to take the dry road in Xiahai, you must pass through the mountains, that is, the south is quite stable, but in the north, such high mountains and deep forests, it is simply a place where strong people gather, and it is undoubtedly impossible to go on the road alone and find death.

But even though there are few strongmen and lack the means to develop, there are many tigers and leopards in the mountains and forests along the way, which is still very dangerous.

For a long time, most people in Xiahai wanted to go south, and most people chose safe waterways, which were fast and convenient, which was much better than taking dry roads.

On the second day, Chi Zheng didn't see anyone from the county government chasing after him, and he didn't even see the rest of the people, so he rode the "grapes" alone and walked on the rugged "official road" path.

This is also normal, the ancients in addition to natural disasters and man-made disasters, few people left their hometowns, to a place to check the road guide, in the city of Xiahai, Chi Zheng was Song Zhutou to the road guide to check and suspect the identity.

There were few walkers, let alone choosing waterways to walk, Chi Zheng slipped away all morning, and he didn't see anyone except him.

But that's okay, Chi Zheng saw that there was no one, and he was in a good mood, so he couldn't help singing: "Brother hook, hook the white coat that my brother just wore." The aunt went to the hook drum through the partition fan, the drum was high and the aunt was difficult to hook the drum, the elder brother helped the aunt to hook the drum, and the aunt helped the elder brother to mend the gown. ”

The "tail grudge" hanging in the back was stunned, what is this?

Before waiting for the "tail resentment" to react, Chi Zheng sang again: "There is a duck standing on the slope, and there is a cliff below the slope." The wide cliff, the fat duck, the duck wants to cross the cliff, the cliff wants to fly the duck, I don't know if the duck crosses the cliff, or the cliff flying duck. ”

"Donald Duck" listened happily, and the "tail grudge" hanging next to him hurriedly kicked it away with his feet.

Chi Zheng ignored the duck and the "tail grudge" behind him, and sang: "There is a duck behind the mule, there is a mule in front of the duck, Xiao Luo counts the mule and the duck, the little girl counts the duck and the mule, Xiao Luo counts the mule legs four hundred and eight, the little girl counts the duck legs eight hundred and eight, how many mules come and how many ducks? In fact, there is only one mule and one duck ......."

The "tail grudge" is confused, what is the master singing, why can't it understand?

"Huh?"

Chi Zheng pulled the hat and covered the black scarf, only to see another mountain road in front of him, but a few people and horses came slowly.

There are three horses in total, one is older, about forty years old, his face is weathered and wrinkled, and the other two are a man and a woman, the male is young, a little honest, and the female is not beautiful, but she is just as young, her eyes are sharp, and she looks up and down when she sees Chi Zheng from a distance.

All three of them were dressed in strong clothes, and obviously carried knives and swords, and the oldest man also carried a bow and arrow, and the three formed a combination that could be fought near and far, and it was difficult to provoke at first glance.

Da Chen does not prohibit carrying swords with him in the wild, but if he enters the city, if he has no merit and fame, he is not allowed to bring knives and swords and other weapons, and now that the world is in chaos, he may not necessarily abide by such rules. But in the south, these three people are too eye-catching, and I am afraid that as soon as they enter the city, this kind of dress will attract the capture officers to scrutinize and inspect the road.

It seemed that the three of them were also going to move along this main road, Chi Zheng didn't pause, and the three of them quickly rode over, but they all looked at Chi Zheng vigilantly and didn't speak.

It wasn't until a while later that the three of them were a few steps behind Chi Zheng, and the honest man was shocked and pointed to the "tail grudge" hanging from Chi Zheng's "grapes": "Uncle Shi, what is that?"

Looking at the man's line of sight, "Uncle Shi" was taken aback and blinked, "This ......"

That's weird, isn't it? What the hell is that?

The woman was also surprised, "I've never seen it, Uncle Shi, is it some kind of rare bird or beast?"

"Not really. ”

"Uncle Shi" shook his head.

What rare birds and beasts look like this? It looks black like a tadpole, but it has human hands and feet, and a human face, and the more you look at it, the more terrifying and terrifying it becomes.

"Uncle Shi, do you want to ask?"

The woman's curiosity came up, and she couldn't help it at all.

Before the "uncle" could deny it, the woman immediately stepped forward, only to cause the "uncle" to sigh helplessly.

"Your Excellency, the autumn water is not seen in winter, there are ditches above the eaves, dare to ask where did it come from? Where to go? But on the same road?"

The woman asked like this, but Chi Zheng was stunned, what kind of nonsense is this? I don't understand it at all.

He didn't answer, and the woman understood, she couldn't even understand the ordinary words of the Green Forest Hawker, and it didn't seem to be a person in the rivers and lakes, let alone ......

But this person was carrying a long sword, and he was not dressed like an ordinary pedestrian, which was strange.

Huh? Is it a Taoist robe under the robe?

It turned out to be a Taoist priest.

But it is impossible for a Taoist priest who often walks the rivers and lakes not to understand the outside words, let alone be silent and not answer.

Or is it a mute?

Dumb people also react, can't they still be deaf?

"Xiaosui, come back, don't disturb others on their way. ”

The "uncle" in the back shouted, and the woman didn't want to go back like this, so she asked curiously: "Daoist, what kind of beast are hanging behind you?"

Ji Zheng ignored her.

Seeing that Chi Zheng ignored herself, the woman tightened her eyebrows, she saw that the other party didn't even understand black words, probably not a person from the rivers and lakes, but followed up again, and asked, "Daoist, what about you." ”

It's a pity that Chi Zheng still ignores her.

The woman was a little angry and whispered, "Is it a deaf person?"

Her voice is very low, and it is almost difficult for outsiders to hear it, but Chi Zheng's ears and eyes are very sharp now, and she can hear it at once.

He glanced at her through the black scarf under the hat, and with some displeasure, he deliberately replied, "It's a duck." ”

"No, I'm talking about the one next to the duck. "The woman was unexpected, it turned out that she was not deaf and dumb.

"It's a mule. ”

"No, I'm talking about the one hanging with the duck. ”

"That?" Chi Zheng glanced back.

"Yes, that's it. ”

The woman pointed to the "tail grudge" with her mouth closed.

"Oh, that's a duck too. ”

"Hey?" the woman wondered, and the "uncle" and the honest man who followed behind also thought that she had misheard.

"W-How can this be a duck?"

The woman was stunned.

"Why can't it be a duck? This is a duck. ”

"But ducks don't look like this. ”

"Are you ......," Chi Zheng asked, "have you seen all the ducks in the world?"

"Naturally, it doesn't. The woman shook her head.

"Then how do you know ducks don't look like this?"
