"There's something that the south may not know yet, but I only heard it from a resting caravan two days ago. ”

The bonfire crackled and bounced sparks, drifting outside from the shop where they were resting, the horses and donkeys neighed, and people came in from time to time, shaking off the snowflakes.

The guy who delivered the wine and food shouted: "Guest officer, your hot wine, plus two servings of lamb, please use it slowly!" put down the wine and a plate of dishes for the guest, returned to the counter, and picked up the words of the man just now.

"What news is this guest officer? Let me tell you, is it possible that the Turks have surrendered?"

On the other side of the fire, the thin black man who had spoken before rubbed his palms and let out a white breath.

"Little brother, you really guessed correctly, the big battle at the beginning of the year, to the month before it really fell victorious or defeated, I heard the trader say that the Turkic 80,000 people made a comeback, but they were ambushed by General Shi halfway, and the fight was almost wiped out, and the sand bowl had no chance to escape. ”

A few years ago, when Zhou and Qi were still there, the Turks were rampant, and they went south to plunder, and now they were defeated and defeated, and even the Great Khan was gone, which immediately aroused the interest of everyone nearby and spoke one after another.

"Who is General Shi?"

"Hey, General Shi doesn't know him? That's the famous general of our Great Sui! When he attacked the Chen Dynasty, he also came, and I heard that the first one to stand on the head of the city, that arm is as thick as the head of the column, can it not be fierce?"

"No wonder Sui can replace Zhou, it really makes people raise their eyebrows. ”

The store suddenly echoed, after all, who doesn't want their country to be powerful, and they can straighten their backs and speak when they go out, but there is also a voice snorting from the corner.

"It's just a sneak attack. ”

The person who spoke by the fire tilted his head, and the resting travelers around him also looked over there, and there were three people sitting at a square table in the corner, all dressed as warriors of the green forest, and there were weapons in the corner of the table, one of them was holding a wine bowl, and the corners of his mouth were sketching a cruel smile, and the person who originally wanted to argue pursed his lips and sat back down.

The three of them saw that the people around them did not dare to speak, and they snorted louder, and the man with the wine bowl raised his foot on the end of the bench, and his eyes swept over the shop.

“...... You are also members of the Chen Dynasty, and Your Majesty is still here, so you call yourself Sui people one by one, are you worthy of the first emperor? If it weren't for the Northern Sui sneak attack to cross the river in a roundabout way, you might not be able to fight ashore, and you still win over Xiao Moke, a thief, if it weren't for him, how could you let the Sui army come to the city of Tianzhi?"

The companion next to him pulled his hand and signaled not to speak, and the man suppressed his anger, picked up the wine and drank meat with the two companions.

The store was silent for a moment, there were these three green forest customers, and the others didn't dare to talk about what they had just done, and some people turned away.

"By the way, a few days ago, I seemed to hear that Lu Lang of Qixia Mountain got married. ”

Many passers-by and vendors who stopped in this shop have passed by here, so naturally they have heard of this name, and some of them are still very familiar with it, and someone next to them sat by the fire with a bowl of wine.

"Brother, your news is the Year of the Monkey, and Lu Lang is not married. ”

Last month, my brother came back and said that Lu Liangsheng was married, and he also helped Lujiacun deliver wine. ”

Around, there are also perennial people who walk the mountain road of Qixia Mountain to testify to that person.

"It's really not done.,I heard that it's to lure a monster out.,Just pretended to be a pro.,A lot of people saw it that day.,Can't fake it.。 ”

When the three green forest guests at the corner table heard the words 'Qixia Mountain Lu Lang', they glanced at each other, put down the wine on their lips, and listened with their ears sideways.

.......

"Monsters, and monsters dare to go to Lujia Village? ”

"Let's not mention that Lu Lang is a star in the sky, with superb mana, the eight big men in the village alone are enough for those mountain spirits and foxes to eat a pot, thinking of that meat, tsk..... I'll take a sip of wine first. ”

"That is to say, the king of Fushui County is half blind, and he can be regarded as a master, and he is accurate, didn't he also worship Lu Lang as a teacher? I heard that there are three apprentices, have you seen them?"

"I've heard of two of them, and they seem to be on the Chang'an side. ”

Speaking of the north, the thin black man who spoke stopped talking, and subconsciously looked at the three green forest guests, for fear of touching the other party's moldy head, and seeing that the other party did not react, he lowered his voice and continued:

"I heard that they are all officials in the capital. ”

The wind mixed with snowflakes blew in, and a few people on the bonfire at the frozen door hurriedly avoided it, and the three people at the table in the corner saw that the snow outside was a little smaller, so they paid for the meal, hugged their fists to the people in the store, put on their robes, and walked to the white mountain road with weapons in the wind and snow.

"The Mr. Lu we are looking for, I'm afraid it's this Lu Lang. ”

"It should be that Your Majesty said that Qixia Mountain, there will be no second one. ”

"What Lu Lang, Mr. Lu's, I heard that they also accepted Sui people as apprentices, hum, Lao Tzu looks down on him!"

The person who said this was the green forest guest who was holding a wine bowl in the store, and they came from the southwest direction, and to Lujia Village, Qixia Mountain, they still had to cross a mountain and go to the road at the junction of Tongling County and Fushui County to pass.

"Your Majesty and Mr. Chen will also come here in two days, so you should say a few words and be careful of upsetting Your Majesty. ”

"Oops, I know, I know, hurry up!"

The man waved his hand impatiently with the knife on his back, and walked on the vast snowy road, the fluttering snowflakes gradually stopped, and the snow that the three of them walked on, leaving a series of footprints, stretched over the mountains in front of them, but the snow was too big, and they couldn't see the road that should have been, and the further they went, the more desolate they became, and all that came into view was a vast white.

Occasionally, there is the sound of snow falling from the branches, which makes people feel a kind of pore palpitation.

"We seem to be lost. ”

Among the three, a middle-aged man with a relatively loyal appearance, compared the sky, the map in his hand, and then looked around, in the ice and snow, it was white and difficult to discern the direction.

Do you have to wait for the sun to tilt before going north and south?

After the other two people got drunk, they only felt dry mouth, and they took a hand of snow into their mouths to melt and swallow their stomachs, and they also looked around in confusion.

The younger swordsman simply took off his shoes and threw them into the air, pointing in the direction where the tips of his shoes were pointing.

"Just go in this direction. ”

At that moment, the man with the map raised his head, as if listening to something, turned around for a while, and then turned back and whispered to his companion.

"Did you hear anything?"

The other two stood in place, listened carefully for a moment, and seemed to hear it, vaguely like a man's voice singing, I didn't hear it completely, and I didn't know what the words were, but the tone was very comfortable.

"Anyway, they are all lost, so it is better to follow the direction of the song and ask for the way to get out of this mountain. ”

As soon as the three of them were together, they climbed a hill to the east in the direction where the faint sound of singing was heard, and the snow fell in the forest, and when they got closer, there were copper bells echoing.

“..... Looking at the snow by the door, the old people returned, and when I woke up from a dream, the white wisps fell on my shoulders......"

An old donkey wagged his tail and kicked his hooves in the snow and ran excitedly, a pair of copper bells clanged around his neck, and the three of them looked over the snowy bushes, not far away, there was a sound of 'boom' chopping wood, a young man on that side was wearing a green cloth linen clothes, holding a head on his head, and was holding a firewood knife to shave the firewood, and the thick one was split in half and tied separately.

"It's a woodcutter. ”

"Just ask for directions. ”

The old donkey playing there shook his ears, heard the sound of footsteps squeaking in the snow, turned around and hummed twice, and the woodcutter who chopped wood also stopped his work.

The first person, with a loyal face, saw the woodcutter looking over, arched his hand and smiled: "Little brother, don't be afraid, the three of us have no bad intentions, just come and ask for directions." ”

Opposite, the woodcutter looked at the three of them and nodded.

"It's cold and snowy, it's normal to get lost, I don't know where the three of you are going?"

When the three of them heard this, they looked at each other, and the woodcutter didn't want to talk about the people in the mountains, and one of them said, "Just ask..... How do we get to the Red Mercy Temple? We came to worship the temple. ”

"Well, my house happens to be nearby, and I've almost finished collecting firewood, so you might as well come with me." ”

After speaking, the woodcutter called the donkey over there, and carried the three bundles of firewood up and carried them on both sides, took the reins and walked to the front, and the three green foresters followed without hesitation, and also exchanged eyes between the three people, which probably means: 'If this guy has any bad intentions, just do him!'
