Huang Xie laughed and said, "Mr. is really a member of my generation." So he ordered his subordinates to prepare a few jars of good wine, and he personally wrapped the lingzhi carefully, and sat down and talked for a while. Someone came in and offered a fan.

Chen Lu saw that it was Song Yu's weapon, and he was overjoyed, and said, "Why is Song Ziyuan so well-behaved that he can give it to you at will?"

"Of course not, you know. ”

Chen Lu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, he understood, he was also the same as Meng Weijun Tianwen, there were also chickens and dogs and thieves, so of course it was not a problem to get a fan. The two looked at each other and laughed, Chen Lu took the fan and said goodbye.

Huang Xie personally supervised the putting of everything on the horse, Chen Lu turned over and got on the horse, Huang Xie personally led the horse and sent it to the gate, saying, "Mr. must come back for a few days after finishing his errand." ”

Chen Lu replied vaguely, came out of the gate, walked out a long way, and when he looked back, Huang Xie was still standing there watching. Chen Lu was a little moved, the four gentlemen of the Warring States, Huang Xie was the saddest, and he didn't do anything that damaged the yin skull, it was this Li bottle. It can be seen that karma is not happy at all.

Chen Lu saw him standing there reluctantly, Chen Lu was so moved, turned the horse's head, and returned to the gate, ten steps away from Huang Xie, Chen Lu said: "The world returns to Qin, make plans early." After saying that, he didn't look back, and ran out of the city.

Chen Lu said to Da Qingma: "Dog, we went to the Chu State two thousand years ago to play, how you brought me back." The big green horse nodded and continued to walk forward.

About five miles out of the city, seeing that there were no pedestrians on the road, Chen Lu slapped the head of the big green horse, the big green horse rose in the air, Chen Lu closed his eyes, only listened to the whirring wind in his ears, and his consciousness gradually blurred.

I don't know how long it took, but he woke up and seemed to have fallen asleep. It was early in the morning, about the second quarter of the first month. He returned to the camp outside Luchen City, but the mission had already been opened. Only a small tent was left, and a man stood next to a few horses and shouted, "Lord Chen is back." ”

A few more people came out of the tent, and one of them was Han Liu'er, who seemed to be fine. The soldiers came over and led the horses over to salute Chen Lu. Tell Chen Lu that the mission had left four days ago.

Chen Lu was taken aback, he had obviously only stayed in the capital of Chu for most of the day, why did it take him five days to come and go?

A few people took out dry food and water, fed the horses, and set off to chase the mission, which was an official road, under the jurisdiction of Hamiwei, and was also regarded as a land of fish and rice, densely populated.

Every twenty miles, the mission left two people waiting, and several people chased after them all the way, sleeping only two hours at night, buying food along the way, and walking two or three hundred miles a day.

On the third day, I had walked nearly a hundred miles, and I didn't see any soldiers waiting. Chen Lu knew that he had taken the wrong path, not because he was wrong, but because of the mission. It doesn't look like you can do without a guide like yourself.

Chen Lu asked the passers-by if they had seen any soldiers, it was the army of the Celestial Empire, and everyone shook their heads. Chen Lu was afraid that something would go wrong, and he still couldn't suppress those monsters and fairies by relying only on Ha San and Nalan.

At this time, Chen Lu had twelve soldiers, and he decisively ordered to look back. They walked more than 50 miles, but there was still no trace of the mission, and strictly speaking, the mission had lost contact. Chen Lu: They didn't dare to go any further.

At this time, the wheat fields are jointed, and the melons planted have been stretched, Chen Lu walked here, and the melons here are unique in the world. They were so tired that they had to go to the village house.

It's really a big village, and the houses are relatively neat. They found a large courtyard and a three-entry house, which is rare here in the Western Regions, because they are not taboo for women to show their heads.

Chen Lu went to negotiate in person.

There were a few small servants standing at the door of this house, Chen Lu explained the situation in Western Dialect, and a small servant said to wait a while, and he would come back and lead them into the courtyard in a while.

A man in his forties greeted him, and it turned out to be a Han costume, wearing a melon skin hat and a sky blue jacket, in Chinese dialect: "It turned out to be the lord of the Heavenly Dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful." "Kneel down and kowtow as you speak.

Chen Lu held it up, didn't dare to ridicule, and said seriously: "There is disturbance, it is really not easy to meet Central Plains people like Yuanwai here." ”

Walking into the hall, the interior decoration here is very similar to that of Dadu. Chen Lu looked at it and said: "Outside, we are the Celestial Empire mission, we went west to Harlie on business, and we got separated from the brigade, and went to your mansion to ask for a bowl of tea to eat, and by the way, inquire about the team." I don't know the name of the high surname in the house. ”

"Xiaomin Kong Zhen, the ancestor is here as a transfer envoy, leaving us alone. ”

"It turned out that after being a saint, I was disrespectful, are there many Han people here?"

"There are quite a few, almost every village, and at least a third. Some came by themselves, some followed the army, and some were officials here, and the former court went to Mobei, and our elders didn't want to go, so they settled here. "Talking about arranging dinner. Vacate the room that you entered before and arrange for someone to live there.

Kong Zhen said: "There are two official roads here, one leads to Jiangli City and the other leads to Huozhou, and there are no other roads. ”

Chen Lu nodded and asked, "Is it too peaceful here?" Are there any bandits or the like?"

Kong Zhen smiled and said, "As long as there are people who pull flags, this has been the case since ancient times." From here to the east, where you passed, there was a Lama Mountain, where there was a group of bandits, but they only had trouble with the government, and rarely came to the village to harm the common people, probably because we ordinary people had no oil and water. ”

After saying that, Chen Lu also smiled and said, "It's okay to see your mansion, why don't you come to harass?"

"Adult Mingjian, like Xiaomin, although he can't talk about being rich, he can get by, so he has to get along with them, he can't turn his face with them, if he wants something, send it over quickly. ”

Chen Lu was taken aback and asked, "Then doesn't the local government say that you are bandits?"

"There is no way to say it, they can't deal with the bandits, so they have to pretend to be confused. They all know each other that as long as they don't make a big noise, everyone will be confused and confused, and they can just get by. ”

"What should these bandits do if they are insatiable and keep asking for them?"

"No way, give it. He sighed.

Chen Lu and the dozen or so soldiers, sleepy and tired, went to bed early. Chen Lu came to a melon field, this is a melon, there is plenty of sunshine here, the melon is sweet and crisp, but there is no melon at this time, how can there be such a big melon orchard here.

Chen Lu saw an old man in the melon orchard, who looked like the teacher Ade, and hurriedly ran over to salute, Ade raised his head slightly, and lowered his head again to beat the maid on the melon seedlings.

Chen Lu said, "Teacher, where is this? Why are you here?" Ade put down the work in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "Zicheng, where is the teacher?"

Chen Lu pouted: "Teacher, ask something difficult, I don't know that you are from the Western Regions?"
