On an official road in the northern part of the territory of the Great Dedication Kingdom.

Meng Bai led Chitu on the road he walked many years ago, he had a headache, he drank a lot at Orion's house last night, so that he woke up a little dizzy in the morning, and refused to be warmly retained by Brother Li and Sister-in-law Xiaofang, Meng Bai set foot on his way again, and when he left, Li Erol kept telling Meng Bai to come back when he was free, saying that he had been in the cellar for a long time and waited for him to drink.

Meng Bai, who traveled far this time, is no longer the ignorant boy he was back then, and the donkey that traveled with him is now even bigger than an ordinary donkey.

Meng Bai, who was dressed in a long robe, took out a very simple cloth scroll from the bag on the back of the red rabbit, and the picture on the scroll was a map of the terrain of the world, and this scroll was given by Meng Bai's master Wang Ru when he first went down the mountain.

The map records the approximate location of the four spirits, and Meng Bai's trip is to find the four spirits, the master pointed out the route of this trip for him, first in the nearby Xianguo to find the Ying Dragon, and then go west to the Western Zhou Kingdom to find the Phoenix Emperor, and then go south to Wuyuan to find the fire unicorn, and finally to the Fusang country to find the last spirit turtle.

"Master said that according to his road map, I can just travel through the four countries of the world on this trip, and it will be of great benefit to me. Meng Bai carefully checked the route, put away the scroll and said to the red rabbit who was traveling with him.

Chitu shook the donkey's head in response.

The official road that Meng Bai took is called Linyuan Avenue, this official road was built six hundred years ago, when this place was owned by Wuyuan State, because after the war between Daxian and Wuyuan, Xianguo narrowly won, so that this place was plundered, and then the Emperor Xianguo ordered people to build an official road that was connected with Tianyi City.

Linyuan Avenue got its name because of its proximity to Wuyuan.

Meng Bai looked at the map and noted that one hundred and sixty miles west of Linyuan Avenue is Penglang City, and two hundred miles north is the head of the four spirits, the habitat of Yinglong, Kongsang Mountain.

As early as the first time he traveled far back that year, Meng Bai found that the farther away from Tianyi City, the fewer people on the official road, and the advantage of taking the official road was that he would never encounter bandits.

The great dedication of the country has the law of the country, and anyone who commits murder and robbery on the official road of the dedication of the country will be beheaded.

For Meng Bai, who is now a cultivator, it makes no difference whether he meets these bandits or not.

After hiking for half a day, Meng Bai led Chitu to a post station on Linyuan Avenue to rest, although for him he could not stop for a moment, day and night without resting, but for the donkey Chitu, the nectar did not rest day and night, that was realistic.

Meng Bai's post station has been built for hundreds of years, some of it is dilapidated, and it is the top priority in the army to contribute to the maintenance of the post station, but due to the remoteness of the area and the local officials who are greedy to get a lot of oil and water from it, the post station on Linyuan Avenue is just a formality every time it is repaired.

The significance of the post station on the official road is to convey the military information of the entire dedication, and the official road of dedication runs through the entire dedication like a blood vessel, which is the top priority of the entire dedication.

asked for a pot of hot tea, Meng Bai sat outside the post station and looked at the empty official road in a daze.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on Linyuan Avenue, and I saw a man in military uniform riding out on horseback, which met Meng Bai's eyes.

I saw that the rider stopped at the post station, and the man in the military uniform on horseback fell to the ground, lying not far in front of Meng Bai.

The man's face was pale and bloodless, and he took out a letter from his arms, and said with his last breath: "Thousands of miles urgent, military intelligence letter." After saying that, he closed his eyes and fell unconscious.

Just as Meng Bai was about to get up, three people quickly walked out of the post station, one of the men squatted down and took the letter from the unconscious man's hand and handed it to his companion, then touched the unconscious man's pulse with his right hand, and said with relief: "I'm not dead, I'm just unconscious." ”

Among the three, it seemed that the leader took the letter handed by his subordinates and instructed: "Wang Cheng, take the people back to the post station to rest, and Hongbang will bring the horses back to Haosheng to take care of them." ”

After the explanation, the leader of the man hurriedly returned to the post station with the letter.

Meng Bai felt curious, followed the man into the post station, and was about to leave after paying the errand when he heard the man talking with the post station manager.

"Big brother, the war in the south seems to be very tight. It was the man who spoke at the head, and I saw him open the letter to distinguish the authenticity from the fake.

The steward took a sip of tea and answered, "Since you have confirmed that the military information letter is correct, you can go on this trip." ”

The man should get down and walk out of the post station to prepare for the horse to set off, and it happened that Meng Bai was with him.

Just as Meng Bai took out the red rabbit who had rested enough, the man turned over and rode into the dust.

......

Autumn is crisp and breezy.

Meng Bai led the red rabbit on the official road, and after walking for about two hours, Meng Bai, who was leading the donkey, found a person lying in the middle of the road not far away.

Hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and found that this person was the man who had left the post station earlier.

Xiao Yuelei is a post man, because he has a good relationship with the steward on weekdays, so he has the final say in the affairs of the post station, and today he received the war report from the south, and the steward arranged for him to be sent to the next post station.

For him, life is a trivial matter, and delaying the military situation is the most important thing.

"Little brother..."Hearing the sound of footsteps in his ears, Xiao Yuelei looked up with difficulty.

Meng Bai squatted down and helped Xiao Yuelei up and asked, "This is the eldest brother, how could you be so badly injured." ”

Xiao Yuelei waved his hand, handed the blood-stained battle report in his hand to Meng Bai and said weakly: "I'm tired of you.. Something, help me deliver this letter to the post station thirty miles away, and say that the post guard Xiao Yuelei told you to go.... One... Be quick. ”

After speaking, Xiao Yuelei fell into a coma due to excessive blood loss.

Meng Bai picked up the postman and put it on Chitu, and said, "Chitu, you keep walking along this avenue, and I'll go back when I go." ”

After that, Meng Bai exerted force under his legs, and ran on the official road at a very fast speed.

Suddenly, a figure stopped in front of Meng Bai and stopped him.

The man was wearing a red robe and a hat veil, which made it impossible to see his face clearly, but he didn't say a word, and punched Meng Bai is punch.

Seeing this, Meng Bai dodged the punch sideways, stabilized his body and asked, "Why did Your Excellency stop me in my way." ”

The man in red did not answer his question, and then launched an offensive against Meng Bai, punch after punch, layer by layer, and the move was fatal.

Meng Bai saw the move, saw that this person had murderous intentions, and immediately used the Sheji technique, all these years of cultivation in Pengyuan Mountain, and his body was already steel and iron.

After resisting a few punches from the man in red, Meng Bai raised his right hand and punched the man in red, and when the fist was close to the man in red's chest two inches, Meng Bai slashed at the man's neck with his fist.

The man in red was directly hit by this palm and fell to the ground, and the hat covering his face fell to the side.

"Who are you and why did you stop me?" asked Meng Bai with his hand.

The man in red showed disbelief on his face, and said with difficulty: "What you didn't expect is actually a martial artist. ”

Fang Cai's palm is a fist palm technique in Sheji, and Meng Bai seriously injured the man with only three percent of his strength, which shows its power.

Seeing that this person did not answer him directly, Meng Bai looked at him angrily: "I'll ask you something." ”

"You have a letter from the front line, and this letter must not be sent to Tianyi City. The man in red saw that Meng Bai was angry and immediately spoke.

"Why?"

The man in red continued: "I don't know, but someone told me to stop the messenger." ”

"Ridiculous, this war report is urgent, what are you doing to stop it. ”

"I don't know. ”

Meng Bai's eyes dodged when he saw the man just speak, as if he was lying: "If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to the official mansion." ”

The man in red didn't care when he heard the word "government", but was delaying time.

Just as Meng Bai was about to speak, a person appeared on the official road again, wearing the same clothes as the man who fell to the ground.

After seeing his companion coming, the man who fell to the ground immediately stood up and confronted Meng Bai, looking very different from when Fang Cai was injured.

I only heard him remind: "This person is a martial artist." ”

It turned out that he was waiting for a helper, Meng Bai figured out the reason, wrapped his hands around his chest, and turned sideways to face the two of them.

"For the sake of a war report, you want to hurt me? Presumably, the messenger who delivered the letter before was also injured by the two of you. Meng Bai asked tentatively.

The two people wearing the same long clothes did not speak, but attacked Meng Bai at the same time with a tacit understanding.

Meng Bai smiled contemptuously: "It turned out to be a martial artist, then I will use Sheji to defeat the two of you." ”

The two of them attacked Meng Bai up and down, and their punches were extremely fast and flawless.

"It's too slow. ”

Meng Bai moved, his body was elegant, and he easily dodged the punches of the two, only to see that his body was leaning back, his hands were raised, and the two men in red were knocked away with one palm on the left and right.

Immediately, before the two of them landed, Meng Bai moved again at a very fast speed, running forward, like a tiger jumping up the mountain, soaring into the air, and kicking his legs in the chests of the two.

The two men in red fell to the ground with a bang, spitting blood from their mouths and being seriously injured.

"Not without fighting. Meng Bai sneered after landing on the ground.

"Senior, spare your life!" one of the men in red hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Who are you?"

"The two of us are scouts of Wuyuan Kingdom, and we came here with the envoy of Xianguo on this trip, just to stop the military intelligence report. ”

Meng Bai didn't expect that the two in front of him turned out to be scouts from enemy countries, as a native of Daxian, how could he allow scouts from other countries to explore military information on his own soil.

"What exactly is written in this battle report, why didn't you destroy the war report after you hurt people before?" Meng Bai asked.

The red-clothed scout, who was injured by Meng Bai twice in a row, explained: "The man gave me a fake battle report before, but I found out that it was wrong later, and when I found the post guard again, he didn't have a real battle report on him. ”

Meng Bai suddenly said: "That's why you followed this road and stopped me?"

The man in red nodded.

Still puzzled why the two of them fought for their lives to stop the front-line battle report, Meng Bai took out the letter in his arms and opened it to take a look, which read.

"In the two hundred and ninety-first year of Tianyi, our army was in the north of Wuyuan, and defeated Wuyuan 37,000 soldiers with 20,000 soldiers. ”

"Chu Lisi, isn't it Chu Xiao's father. After reading the battle report, Meng Bai secretly said to himself, what kind of magical power does this have to be to make a long river disappear in an instant.

Such an urgent report must be sent to the Ministry of Heavenly Machinery as soon as possible, otherwise 20,000 soldiers will die in another country.

Meng Bai put away the battle report, his eyes were indifferent, he raised his left arm, pointed his index finger at the Wu Yuan scout who fell to the ground, and said indifferently: "One finger at Xigu." ”

"Bang!"

The heads of the two Wu Yuan scouts exploded in an instant, and the dead could no longer die.
