Chapter Ninety-Five: Surprise by Night
"Miss Gong Xun is polite, Brother Gu and I are also friends, and it is also appropriate to help him!" Jiang Fan smiled with a smile.
Hearing this, Gong Xun hid his kindness in his heart, and no longer said anything, and then the four of them waited here, and I don't know how long it took, when Gu Nianqing appeared again, the surrounding world had already been dusk, and the starlight was gradually revealed.
Looking at him walking out, but he didn't see the old Taoist figure, Gong Xun hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Senior brother, why are you alone, the Dao Immortal senior?"
Gu Nianqing came to the three of them, his eyes were a little tired, but he couldn't hide his joy, "The senior stayed in the pavilion, and only said that he told me to wait and go down the mountain as soon as possible!" Then, he looked at Jiang Fan again, took out something and said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, this is the Jin Ling Pill you want, please smile!"
Hearing this, Jiang Fan looked at it and saw that the thing was a black and simple square box.
Jiang Fan stretched out his hand to take it, then chuckled and said, "Thank you Brother Gu for making it complete!"
The reason why Jiang Fan asked for it by name was because he wanted to use this pill to break through the Qi Transformation Realm, but he didn't expect that now he was already a cultivator in the early stage of the Qi Transformation Realm by chance, and he no longer needed this Jin Spirit Pill, but although he didn't use it himself, there was another person who needed it very much, and that was Lin Xu!
Lin Xu set foot in cultivation, and one day he would also face the dilemma of breaking through the Qi Transformation Realm, if he had this Jin Spirit Pill this time, it would probably no longer be difficult for him to advance to the Qi Transformation Realm!
Thinking of this, Jiang Fan secretly made up his mind and put away the pill. Then the four of them rested for a while, and then went home.
Along the way, there was no one who was blocked, and all the way was unblocked, and the four of them quickly flew back to the zenith peak, where the star field spirit fox was stored in the building by Gong Xun.
When Gong Xun took it out, the white fox fell into a deep sleep again for some reason, his body curled, and he was buried in his tail. Seeing this scene, Jiang Fan and the others didn't know the reason, so they decided to take it back and look for someone to see.
At this time, it was already almost night, and it was not suitable to travel, but Gu Nianqing was in a hurry to go home to resume his life, so the four of them did not rest, but set off overnight, and Edgeworth went straight to Chang'an.
After descending from the peak of the sky, the night was already extremely deep, and the heavens and the earth looked at the clouds and clouds, and the stars were not revealed, making it extremely dark! In the deep forests under the mountain, wild beasts were rampant from time to time, howling endlessly.
In the mountains of the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, there are often Beirong refugees and wild beasts from all sides, and ordinary people come here at night, even if they walk during the day, they must be afraid and feel terrified.
However, for these dangers, now that Jiang Fan and the four of them can fly with the sword, it is rare to encounter it, but despite this, when they are deep in the forest, they suddenly hear the beast in the forest screaming and howling, and they can't help but jump in shock.
"Passing through this mountain range and ancient forest, there is the northern prairie in front of you, as long as you get there, you must be much safer, otherwise, you will always be above this deep forest, and I don't know when and where something will suddenly come out, it is very dangerous!"
Looking at the ancient forest below, Gu Nianqing's eyes were very vigilant, and he said slowly.
Hearing his words, Gong Xun thought so, she only heard the howls of those beasts in her ears, and she was shocked into cold sweat, although she was a Qi Transformation Realm monk, and her strength was not afraid of most beasts, but if she really fell in this ancient forest, she was afraid that it would attract countless beasts to attack, and as long as she thought of those grinning and foul-smelling beasts rushing towards her, Gong Xun couldn't help but feel sick and uncomfortable!
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way, and after a while, the four of them passed through the ancient forest and saw the endless prairie.
If the ancient forest under the zenith of Fangcai is still in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, then this boundless grassland is located in the gap between the Tang Dynasty and Beirong!
It's just that although it is closer to Tianyun Pass in the north of the Tang Dynasty, few people of the Tang Dynasty have settled here, but many Beirong refugees have gathered into a group and have been occupying this place, looting and killing the past merchants of the two countries. Especially for the people of Datang, these homeless tribes are even more cruel and bloodthirsty, and they have always caused serious damage to the safety of the northern border of Datang!
In fact, at the beginning, these tribes did not become a climate, most of them were invaded by the Beirong refugees in the south, and their harm was extremely small at that time, but because of this, the Tang royal family relaxed its vigilance, and made its power stronger and stronger, and now it has become a nomadic tribe that can entangle hundreds of thousands of people to endanger one side.
These bandits, formed by the Beirong refugees, directly occupied the entire northern grassland of the Tang Dynasty, as well as a small part of the Beirong territory, which was like a cancer that had to be eradicated for the two countries.
However, now it is also powerful, no matter who in the two countries really sends troops to conquer, it will not be a short-term result, but will consume the national strength, which causes no one in Datang and Beirong to want to be the one who suffers, so it will naturally give it room to survive and make it more and more powerful.
Previously, Jiang Fan and the four of them had encountered those 3,000 thieves in this grassland, and they thought that those barbarian tribes were all exiled tribes that had invaded the northern prairie.
As the four of them were walking in the northern prairie, the sound of horses' hooves was suddenly far and near, and it quickly came from below. Jiang Fan looked down when he heard the sound, and saw that the lower end of the prairie was boundless, and smoke and dust could be seen in the darkness, and he could vaguely see a team of people and horses galloping quickly.
Gu Nianqing took a closer look, and said with great confusion: "How can these guys haunt this midnight and third watch?"
Hearing this, Gong Xun looked into the distance, and really saw clearly who the person who came, only to see that in the distant darkness, a team of cavalry took the "arrow leaping array" as the first, charging ahead, and then followed by most of the men and horses not far away, and the number of people under the closer look was 100,000!
After seeing these clearly, Gu Nianqing immediately exclaimed: "How can there be so many Beirong troops? Could it be that the person who traveled is the king of Beirong?"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly asked: "How does Brother Gu know that those people are from Beirong? Do you know that this northern prairie has been invaded and occupied by those barbarian soldiers and thieves for a long time, how can an army of such a size in Beirong appear here safely?"
Hearing his doubts, Gu Nianqing gathered his mind and explained to him: "Brother Jiang has been practicing in retreat all year round, and I don't know that it is normal for Beirong soldiers and horses, you see that the cavalry in the first place, the armor is high-quality, the marching is rigorous, and the arrow leaping array is the vanguard, and when advancing, they can look at each other from the end, so it can be seen that they are by no means comparable to those barbarian soldiers and thieves, and in this northern realm, in addition to the Tang Dynasty, only Beirong has such an elite army!"
As soon as these words fell, Jiang Fangu was suddenly, and it was also true, if this team of people was a Tang Dynasty soldier, how could Gu Nianqing, as the prime minister's son, not be able to see it?
