As soon as the sky was white, it could be seen, and the three of them had already mounted their horses and set off.

It was sunrise again, and before they had completely left the horizon, the three of them came to the outside of Lizhou City.

At the gate of the city, there were the family members of Qianhe Villa, dressed in sackcloth, guiding the way for those who came to mourn.

Seeing Jiading, Dugu Jinglerma stopped and stopped advancing, and Ah Yao and Du Xi'er beside him also stopped.

"What's wrong?" asked A-Yao, puzzled.

"If you are a family member in the house, you will be recognized when you get close......"

That being said, but he still wanted to go, he should now kneel in front of the mourning hall, wearing mourning clothes, and behead for three years.

Dismounted, paced a few steps forward and stopped.

"I'll go with you. Du Xi'er saw his appearance in her eyes, and also turned over and dismounted and came to him.

"No, I can't. Ah Yao stopped the two of them, "If the previous speculation is not wrong, then now that Lizhou City is ambushed on all sides, not only Dugu Gongzi, but as long as any of the two of you show up, you will definitely not be able to retreat." ”

"Yes, you can't take this risk, everything is left to the seniors. Dugujing had already thought about it on the way back, and asked Ah Yao to go into the city to prepare some dry food and things needed on the way, and she and Miss Qin only waited outside the city.

However, A-Yao's Miao costume is still easy to attract attention, so the group went around to the south of the city, found a farmer to borrow clothes for A-Yao to change into, and then entered the city, while Dugujing and Du Xi'er were waiting at the farmhouse.

Ah Yao would not return for a while, so Du Xi'er continued to teach Dugujing the first chapter of "The Secret Record of Martial Arts", and after a while, he demonstrated it in the courtyard.

Fortunately, this is outside the city of Lizhou, and the farmers are not surprised by the people who practice martial arts, although they will cast their eyes from time to time, but they will not feel afraid.

When there's something to do, time is always fast.

Soon an hour and a half passed, and Ah Yao finally returned, and the farmer pretended to be polite to leave the meal, but the three of them thanked them and refused, got on their horses and left.

On the way, Ah Yao suddenly asked, "The martial idiot and the master of the Ghost Sect are not dead?"

According to Du Xi'er, if they didn't violate the rules of the Absolute Return Valley, then the Qin Valley Lord naturally didn't kill them, and Ah Yao also knew about it.

So why did she suddenly ask?

Dugujing looked over suspiciously, but found that A-Yao was looking at Du Xi'er.

"Yes. Du Xi'er nodded.

Ah Yao was a little impatient, she didn't ask this to ask Du Xi'er for verification, she naturally knew that most of those people didn't die back then.

It's just that when I entered Lizhou City today, I overheard someone talking about it, and after paying attention to inquiring, I didn't expect that this news had spread widely.

"At that time, in order to inquire about the news, but there was not so much silver, so I exchanged these news at the ghost gate. ”

Du Xi'er told the story of asking for news in Tongbaofang many days ago, and in order to finish the matter quickly, he used the phrase "ask for news in Tongbaofang" before.

At this moment, hearing that the news was spread, Du Xi'er was also a little worried in her heart.

"It's not clear whether it has an impact for the time being, and I don't know why your master is hiding this matter from the entire Jianghu. But fortunately, the rumors only mention the martial idiot and the ghost sect master, maybe it will be regarded as a rumor, and it will be calmed down in a few days. ”

The three of them stopped talking and hurried away.

Because the news asked by Tongbaofang said that Le Zhengshang and his party left in a carriage, the three of them went all the way to inquire for the next few days, but there was no news.

I don't know if it's because the three of them left five days late, no matter who they asked, they were all impressed.

The horses kept chasing for days, and the horses were tired and could not support them, so they exchanged horses for horses, and after a few days, they had already reached the boundary of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and there were still no clues.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for a group of five people not to attract attention, and they are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes. is not empty and the arrow is abundant, accompanied by Fang Feile Zhengshang, arrogant and wide, an unknown but beautiful woman, a total of four people, and plus a Qin Guiyu who can't move, how can he hide his whereabouts?

"The woman in this is very likely to be Pipa Qu Duan and Yu, this person is good at disguise, can change appearance and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, so they must have relied on the disguise technique to hide their whereabouts. Dugujing guessed. Immediately remembered that in the middle of the inn, Duan and Yu also stripped and seduced him, and couldn't help but shiver.

Ah Yao thought for a while, shook her head and said: "No matter how easy it is, it is five big men, how can it not attract attention, if Duan Heyu still maintains a female appearance, four men and one woman, it will be even more impossible." In order to make it impossible for the Qin Valley Lord to escape, they must have poisoned it, otherwise they would have gotten out of trouble long ago with the skills of the Qin Valley Lord. The four of them with a sickly-looking person were too much to be noticed. ”

"Did they know we were chasing? ”

"Hmph, I guess I know that what I do is some shady things. ”

Du Xi'er, who had not spoken, spoke: "The beggar of Tongbaofang once said that the news of Le Zhengshang and a few others escorting my master will spread all over the rivers and lakes in a few days, and with the identity of several people, it is inevitable that some people will be curious. ”

Dugu nodded: "Yes, the people who can escort Feng Xiu, Le Zhengshang, Zhang Qi, Duan and Yu at the same time must attract the attention of countless people." ”

"I don't know what they did when they took my master to Jiangnan?"

Dugujing didn't understand either, so he could only look at A-Yao.

"Look at what I'm doing, I don't know. Ah Yao scratched her head and saw that Du Xi'er was also looking at herself, so she thought about it carefully before she said, "There are only two things to catch the Qin Valley Lord, either to seek revenge or for martial arts." Since they are not looking for revenge, it is naturally to eliminate the martial arts of the valley. But that's fine, if they are for the martial arts cheats, then the Qin Valley Lord's life will not be in danger. ”

When Du Xi'er heard this, she was secretly relieved in her heart.

Ah Yao glanced at Dugujing and saw that he didn't react, so she sighed in her heart.

These two people must not understand the seriousness of the matter, if the other party is for the sake of martial arts secrets, and in order to prevent the Qin Valley Lord from suddenly having an accident, they will definitely directly cripple it and cut off its meridians.

After all, as long as you don't die, you can dictate martial arts cheats.

Ah Yao's eyes looked into the distance with pain, the anxiety in her heart was actually no less than Du Xi'er, but she hid it well, and neither Dugujing nor Du Xi'er found it.

Biting her lip, A-Yao bent down and rubbed the horse's neck and said, "Are you okay to rest?"

After saying that, he rode his horse forward, and Dugujing and Du Xi'er hurriedly followed.

The three of them did not think that the other might have taken the waterway, which was safer than the carriage. But if the other party does take the waterway, then it will not be able to chase after the waterway, and it is not known where the other party will go ashore. However, fortunately, the waterway is slow, as long as you catch up by land, you will definitely be able to reach Hangzhou one step earlier, and you can make arrangements as soon as possible.

Along the way, the three found that mountains gradually appeared, and the terrain gradually rose.

Knowing that this was close to Lushan, it didn't take long for the three of them to arrive at the foot of Lushan.

Lushan Mountain is close to the city, Peng Li Lake, south of Tengwang Pavilion, the previous dynasty has Li Bai's "Wanglu Mountain Waterfall" is widely spread, a sentence "flying down 3,000 feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling nine days" led countless people to rush to Range Rover.

If the three of them have nothing to do, it is also a rare place to visit.

But on this day, the three of them only thought that Lushan was in the way, and the detour was too far, so when they rested in the village at the foot of the mountain, they asked someone to ask about the road across the mountain.

But I didn't expect that the three of them were wrong to blame Lushan.

It turned out that when the three of them were on the road in the past few days, they found that there was a mountain, so they kept walking along the flat place at the foot of the mountain, and walked here all the way to the north, so they reached the foot of Lu Mountain. In fact, if the three of them do not go north but go to the southeast, they can directly bypass Lushan Mountain to reach Pengli Lake, and then take a boat to the side.

Now there are two roads to choose from, one is to go south around Lushan, reach Pengli Lake, and cross the lake by boat.

The other way is to continue north, the north is the Yangtze River, which can be crossed by ferry. If you take a boat all the way to this section, you can go directly down the river to Kyoto and Jiangning Mansion in the Southern Tang Kingdom.

After the three of them deliberated, they chose to go north.

One is that because the three of them have gone the wrong way and have gone to the north, since the other needs to take a boat anyway, they will choose the faster one-day route.

After asking the direction, the three of them did not stop any longer, and went directly north along the foot of the mountain, arriving at the river at dusk.

The water is sparkling and the afterglow of the sunset falls.

When the fishing boat returned to shore, the smell of fish came from the shore.

Asking around, it was getting late, naturally no one was willing to pick up customers, and the three of them had no choice but to spend the night in the fishing village.

After finding the ferry in advance and setting the time, the three of them came to the only inn in the village that provided accommodation, and it was still two rooms, and Ayao and Du Xi'er were in the same room.

Today was the earliest rest the three of them had since they had traveled, and it was dark but not yet night. In the past few days, I had been on the road overnight, and on two occasions I didn't find the village because I couldn't find the direction because of the darkness, so I slept in the wilderness with clothes.

After the meal, the three of them chatted for a while, and they all agreed not to mention the future for the time being, and then took a bath and changed their clothes, and lay down comfortably in the futon to rest.

Dugujing closed his eyes for a long time, sleepiness hit, and just when he was about to fall asleep, he was suddenly woken up by a dull voice, not loud, but enough to wake up a half-asleep person.

Presumably, some fisherman has not rested yet, and may be repairing his fishing boat, for the sake of tomorrow...... Dugujing yawned, turned over and continued to sleep.

There was a noise in his ears, and even some screams, Dugu Jing, who felt that something was wrong, opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed the coat on the side and put it on his body, and at the same time took the Xuanwu dagger into his arms.

opened the door, and outside the door were Du Xi'er and A-Yao, Du Xi'er raised her hand to knock on the door.

"What's going on? What time is it?"

Dugujing was naturally awakened from his sleep, and he felt as if he had been asleep for a long time.

"It's been lying down for less than an hour. Du Xi'er said, "I don't know what happened, I'm worried that there will be an accident on your side, so I'm going to check it out." ”

"Then go out and have a look. ”

Dugujing walked out first, and through the wide open door of the inn, he could vaguely notice that some torches were lit outside, and it was a little bright.
