There are one hundred and thirty-three counties in Yanyun County, the westernmost and northernmost is Saiwai, the easternmost is close to the sea, and the southernmost can be directly connected to the Central Plains.

"I'm out, I, Li Wei'an, finally got out of Yunzhou!"

It's really amazing, Li Wei'an is very happy, he stepped on the land outside Yunzhou, and the first thing he felt was that this vast world, as long as he wanted to, he could go!

The old Taoist priest looked at this young man, his face was softer, if he looked more resolute, he might make a good name in that Jianghu.

"Old Taoist, is it a long way to Jiangnan?"

"It's very far, you have to walk for several months to get to Jiangnan, where do you want to go first?"

"It's hard to come out, how about we go and meet the emperor?"

The old Taoist priest patted the back of the young man's head, this stinky boy, when you see the emperor, the emperor is what you want to see, look at the young man and look at him angrily, and say: "Go to Kyoto to see the customs and customs, look at your uninformed appearance, your father is amazing, right? The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is more powerful than your father, you can see if you want?"

"Stinky Daoist, the emperor is really so powerful, how can we Yunzhou still be Liao? liars. ”

Li Wei'an said angrily, rolled up his sleeves, couldn't help but feel like grabbing the old Taoist's clothes, but the old Taoist priest didn't know what footwork he used, he just couldn't catch it, the two of them grabbed one and hid, the old Taoist easily let the young man sulk, his heart was too happy, I still remember the time I let this stinky boy grab his arm and throw himself a wrestle, the kid has a lot of strength, but it's all brute force, the old Taoist laughed, but the more Li Wei'an thought about it, the more angry he became, he couldn't catch it, so he turned around and rode his horse to leave, but he thought that there was no old Taoist priest there, and he didn't know where to go, so he gritted his silver teeth and stared at the old Taoist。

The old Taoist priest laughed out loud at this time, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he laughed out loud, and some pedestrians who came and went in and out of the city gate had to stop and look at him for a long time before leaving, only to recognize that it was an old Taoist priest who had lost his mind and was standing at the city gate and smirking at a handsome man on horseback.

"Stinky Daoist, get on your horse and go. ”

"Haha, well, ha, let's hit the road. The old Taoist priest wiped the foam from his mouth, smiled on his face, mounted his big horse, and the two were about to leave, when a group of cavalry came out of the city.

It's not looking for Li Wei'an, the scouts in front are holding the Lilong banner of Yunzhou, countless Liao cavalry poured out from the city gate, heading to the south, the head of the general, Li Wei'an recognized, is the Li family's general Li Shang, with many partial generals, Li Wei'an and the old Taoist priest are mixed in the people at the city gate, even if they are riding on horses, they are inconspicuous, and the cavalry on black horses are the elite of Yunzhou iron horses, in addition to the neighing of horses and the sound of hooves, they gallop quietly and quietly, rolling up dust.

"What's going on?"

"There may be a war going on in the south? Even the troops from Yunzhou have been dispatched. ”

"Why did you even send Yunzhou cavalry? But where is the war?"

No one knows, and Li Wei'an doesn't know either, but what if the Song soldiers can't beat the Liao soldiers? Not to mention that there are so many Liao cavalry, and if they fight, they will fight, and Li Wei'an has never seen anyone in the world who is not afraid of the Yunzhou iron cavalry.

"Maybe it's your father's arrangement, let's go to our rivers and lakes, the good rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't visit the whole world when you are young, then it will be a waste of time. The old Taoist priest didn't care, he took care of himself and clamped the belly of the horse, walked forward leisurely, and Li Wei'an drove the horse to follow.

Jiangnan, the south of the Central Plains, the old Taoist priest is slow, singing songs that I don't know what the boundary, Li Wei'an is busy looking at the scenery, the more south you go, you can see some high mountains, few people's homes have a large area of green shade on the way, and the forest is not only chattering birds, but also flying squirrels and animals. There are more and more insect chirps, sometimes when the two of them are resting, the Li family boy will also go to catch insects and birds, what praying mantises, locusts, are placed in the mound to watch carefully, it is a novelty for him, the first time he saw a palm-sized jumping locust, when he was in the north, he had never seen such a big insect, and he could let him look at it for a long time on horseback.

"Old Taoist, where are we?"

There is a strange high mountain on the side, the peak reaches into the sky, there is a village around the mountain that is rising smoke, there are some families on the field, there are women sitting in front of the house to do handicrafts, embroidering beautiful clothes, Li Wei'an looked at the old Taoist priest has been staring at the mountain peak, and asked him the reason, the old Taoist priest is full of melancholy, in fact, he is not very old, but the years have left too many traces on his face, and he looks much older.

"This is the first place I went back to my apprenticeship. ”

"For the first time?"

The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "Yes, the place where the poor Taoist first went back to apprenticeship." ”

"The old Taoist priest should call himself an old Taoist. ”

"Old Dao, poor Dao, all of them, anyway, they are all Taoist priests. ”

"Is it the Dao Gate above? ”

"This is called Zhe Qi Feng, have you heard of the boy of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate? This is the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, the root of the Sword Sect in the world, the place where many chivalrous men in the rivers and lakes have been bred, boy, if you want to practice swords, you can go up and take a look, maybe some elders will like your good skin. The old Taoist priest drove the horse forward slightly, glanced at the little boy behind him, and snickered.

Li Wei'an was still too young and angry, so he threw his fist at the horse, and the two chased and ran for more than ten miles, until he was angry and didn't bother to bother with the old Taoist.

The road is wide, the further south you go, the more you can see many people from all over the world, Li Wei'an also saw the Hu people with the west wind driving long carriages, with pile-like things on them, and the two of them could watch them go farther and farther away.

"Old Taoist, what are the things that those Hu people are moving? Have you seen them?"

"I haven't seen it. "The old Taoist priest told the truth, he hadn't seen any of these things. "Maybe it's the Central Plains that everyone uses, many Hu people come to the Central Plains to sell things. ”

"The Hu people look really strange, even more ugly than the Xixia people. ”

The old Taoist priest said: "Yes, yes, who can be more beautiful than you, the son of the protector of the Northern Regions? ”

The caravans of the Hu people are constant, coming from the west wind, the wind and dust are serving, driving all kinds of things drawn by tall Hu horses, Li Wei'an actually saw a delicate long sword and iron armor, but it is different from that of the Central Plains, it is too biased towards the barbarians, with some fluffy edges, and silver shining armor.

"Daizhou has arrived, and when we enter Daizhou City, we have really entered the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The old Taoist priest said, in front of him is a real state border county, the city wall is thicker than Yunzhou City, there are nearly 100 soldiers guarding the gate alone, and the iron armored soldiers with red tassels are erected on the city wall, holding iron guns in their hands, looking very fierce.

"I didn't expect it, did I? I could still see such an iron army when I left Yunzhou City. The old Taoist priest chattered, rode a horse through the city gate, and when he passed the city gate, Li Wei'an's identity as the protector of the Northern Regions played a big role, and the gatekeeper saw Li Wei'an holding the Liao Dynasty's capital protection order, just stunned, and then accompanied the smiling face to talk, leading a few armor soldiers to escort the two of them all the way out of the city.

Li Wei'an nodded and said: "The first time I saw it, the Song people looked no different from us, but their skin was whiter." ”

The first time I saw Nanjun with people coming and going, this is still a border town, there are many people of different shapes and sizes coming and going, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this county, crowded with people, and there is no end in sight on the street.

"Mother, I want to eat sugar. A little doll was held in the arms of the woman, tied with pigtails, Li Wei'an looked very good, the young adults on the street had to stare at his porcelain white face from time to time, and no one shy away from it, the child was screaming and wanted to eat sugar, the old man who tied the sugar kindly took one from the sugar string, and skewered a piece of yellow and clear candied fruit, handed it over, a candied fruit was only half a penny, only a small piece.

The old Taoist priest bought a lot, and ate two by himself, and the little young master chewed four or five candied fruits in his mouth, thinking it was delicious, and said to the old Taoist priest that the food in this county town was better than that of Yunzhou City.

The county town is just passing by, they still have to go to the Central Plains, they want to go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the rivers and lakes, and the road is very far.

Walking to the bottom of the city gate, there are two people facing each other from a distance, and you can see it from a long distance, Li Wei'an got off the horse with the sword and the old Taoist priest, and blended into the crowd, and the old Taoist priest and he watched with a lively mood.

"Chen Yixiao, five-year covenant, do you remember?" The two men were both holding long swords, both of them were handsome and extraordinary, and the swordsman who came out first was wearing a hat on his head, dressed in black, with a straight figure, standing quietly.

The man named Chen Yixiao was more casual, and said as soon as he said: "If you want to fight, you can fight, why don't you say more." The long sword in his hand has been unsheathed, a deft footwork approaching, the first move to stab, the gentleman's long sword is like a long snake, the opponent's eyes have a sword flash, the hand is raised to block a sword, the left hand out of the sword towards Chen Yixiao's head sharply slashed straight down, only the sound of iron collision, Chen Yixiao's long sword hilt slightly raised, strong support.

Chen Yixiao laughed coldly: "Death." The shape of the body changed, the blade of the sword blocked the man's sword, and when he turned around and stepped back, he also stabbed out with a sword and was dodged by the man.

The sword qi brushed and slashed, the sword qi in the left hand flew everywhere, the two fought in the street, and the people even the soldiers at the city gate applauded, Li Wei'an just watched, followed the old Taoist priest and found a piece of empty space to watch, the two of them came and went, and the iron swords collided and sparks splashed.

Chen Yixiao's left hand changed, and he attacked and slashed with a sword and a sheath in both hands, but the opponent had already planned, and the long sword in his left hand made him dexterous, and every move was taken down.

"More than 20 moves haven't been won or lost, I'm afraid I can't finish the fight. The old Taoist priest felt bored to leave after watching it for a long time, so he got up and wanted to lead the horse.

Li Wei'an raised his head and asked him, "Old Taoist, could it be that this is the rivers and lakes? These two are swordsmen?"

"Most people dream of chivalry when they are young, don't make a fuss, these are just two children. The old Taoist priest rode on the horse, Li Wei'an also got on the horse, and the two slowly walked away.

The wine jug swayed on the horse's belly, and the old Taoist priest threw it into Li Wei'an's hand, touched his beard and said, "Come and taste it, the good wine of the Song Kingdom." ”

The two of them still went on the road to the south, Li Wei'an wanted to meet the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he had to go to Kyoto, but the old Taoist priest couldn't resist him, so he led the black horse to the east.
