To go or not to go? Now Chen Changye, tossing and turning in bed, still decided to go to Chang'an City. It's just a trip with the caravan, and his mother is also taken care of by Uncle Liao, so he doesn't have to be too afraid.

This trip is beneficial to Chen Changye. First, you can go to Chang'an City to find a divine doctor to treat your mother. Second, you can earn 100,000 copper coins and don't worry about food and clothing. Although he didn't know what Lin Jingnian was going to do, Chen Changye understood that the most urgent task at the moment was to cure his mother's illness.

After thinking about it, Chen Changye was bored and prepared to wrap some clothes and dry food needed for travel, he looked at his sleeping mother, put the close-fitting jade pendant and a white paper with medicinal materials on the table, and hoped that Uncle Liao could dispense medicine to his mother according to the prescription, and left.

The moonlight was hazy, and the bamboo forest under the blur swayed like demons and monsters, swaggering unscrupulously. Chen Changye had just walked out of the small courtyard, when suddenly a melodious voice came from the side, "It's decided?"

Chen Changye turned his head to look, I don't know when a small pavilion has been erected in front of him, a black figure in the pavilion, carefully distinguished, the figure seemed to be sitting on a chair looking at him, Chen Changye was taken aback, and asked: "Who are you? Why did a pavilion appear here?"

A little fire flashed in the darkness, burning up to illuminate the surroundings, and Chen Changye finally saw clearly, it turned out to be Lin Jingnian. At this time, he was sitting calmly on a wooden chair and sipping a cup of tea in his hand, and the simple pavilions around him showed the ancient atmosphere of aristocracy.

Chen Changye walked over and stroked the pillars of the pavilion, which was extremely sturdy, not at all like it was built in a day, and said, "Well, I think we can still win together, so I'll join...... Excuse me, where to report?"

Lin Jingnian raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Chen Changye, his eyes were extremely cold, he pointed to the house and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait at the teahouse tomorrow." You can sleep first, recharge your energy, and say goodbye to your mother tomorrow!"

"Okay......" Chen Changye was silent for a while, the fiery red maple leaves in late autumn swayed slightly, and he asked, "Have you been waiting for me outside?" He was in a complicated mood, thinking that he was just a pawn of him, and he could be discarded at any time, but he didn't expect him to be such a Lixian corporal...... Liu Bei was just like that when he looked at the thatched house, right?

"Don't think of yourself as Zhuge Kongming, I'm just afraid that you will run away. Lin Jingnian seemed to see Chen Changye's thoughts, and said lightly, a faint smell of tea wafted to Chen Changye's nose, he drank tea next to the teahouse all the year round, and naturally guessed what price the eldest young master was drinking, and secretly doubted in his heart.

Immediately Chen Changye went back to the house to sleep, as for this Lin Jingnian, he didn't want to pay attention to it, if he wanted to blow the wind and get cold outside, he would have nothing to do, just sleep......

At dawn the next day, Chen Changye woke up from his sleep and smelled the faint aroma of steamed buns in the room. When he got up, he saw that there was already a plate of meat buns on the table in the room, and when he got up, he saw that a pot of hot water was still slowly simmering in the kitchen, boiling and steaming.

The pavilion outside the courtyard has disappeared, and Chen Changye walked out, but the person was gone. So he went back to the house to wash and tidy up, settle his mother, and say goodbye. However, the mother's eyes were dull and did not respond, and her condition must have worsened again, which strengthened Chen Changye's idea of going to Chang'an City.

After a while, he arrived at the teahouse, and Uncle Liao sat next to him and looked at him with a smile, his hand naturally pointing to the backyard of the teahouse. Chen Changye also knew that Uncle Liao was thinking about himself, so he said, "Uncle Liao, then, I followed the caravan." ”

Uncle Liao nodded and said, "Go, Xiao Chen, I'll watch your mother's side, be careful on the road." "A few words are worth a thousand words. Chen Changye bowed slightly to Uncle Liao to thank him, and then walked to the backyard of the teahouse, where Uncle Liao's finger was.

The backyard is a continuous alley, Chen Changye walked out of the market along the alley, met Lin Jingnian, he didn't speak, at this time he was standing not far away and watching, and after seeing Chen Changye, he just nodded, pointed in a direction and left.

Following Lin Jingnian's guidance, Chen Changye came to the suburbs, where there was a small caravan of forty people waiting, a total of five truckloads of goods, not too much, no less, all covered with white cloth, and there was no way to see it.

Chen Changye went over to say hello, and the leader of the caravan seemed to know for a long time, and handed Chen Changye a sweat towel commonly used by the gang and a close-fitting jade pendant that he put on the table. Chen Changye naturally accepted it, and then the group quietly walked to the east without alarming too many people.

Chen Changye, who walked beside the mule, looked at the distant peaks, continuous and magnificent, and felt only heroic in his heart, with a clear sky, this vast world at his own will, if he could make a career in this world, he could also leave a name for the ages?

The caravan traveled through mountain after mountain, day and night, lodged in wagons and goods at night, exchanged a few mules and horses in each city, and occasionally met a few foreign merchants who came to sell Kunlun slaves, with golden hair and white skin, high noses and blue eyes, and seemed to be beautiful.

After two days, the caravan mingled with other caravans from other foreign lands, and made an appointment to go to Chang'an together. Chen Changye also knew a lot of businessmen and added his knowledge, only then did he understand that there were empires such as Daqin in addition to the Tang Dynasty, and he couldn't help but sigh that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well.

It was already the third day since they left the small city, and they were almost in Chang'an. In order to speed up the journey, they chose to take the mountain trail. The weather was slightly cool that day, and Chen Changye couldn't help but shiver when he got up, as if he expected something to happen.

The smiling faces of those foreign merchants are really good-looking, Chen Changye thought about it and followed the caravan to continue the journey, who would have thought that the caravan suddenly stopped halfway.

They rushed to a canyon-like area, and at this time there were unattainable cliffs on the left and right sides, Chen Changye looked at this scenery, very shocked, when the caravan stopped, Chen Changye was still a little strange, asked the people in front, only to know that there were stones blocking the road in front of him, and he couldn't walk.

At this time, the outland merchants were not talking and laughing as usual, but a little serious, and looked around nervously with tense faces. Chen Changye was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong, why are you so nervous?"

They spoke unnatural Chinese, and said, "We've heard of bandits, you say, could this be?" Bandits? Chen Changye suddenly remembered the stories he had heard from those chivalrous men in the teahouse before, those caravans coming from afar would often trespass on mountain paths because they were not familiar with the terrain, and there would often be bandits and bandits gathering to kill people and intercept goods. Although Chen Changye had never seen bandits and bandits, he didn't dare to imagine that such a person would dare to disobey the decree set by the emperor and burn, kill and loot. But the current situation looks like something big is about to happen.

Chen Changye shuddered, he was about to speak, when suddenly a boulder above his head came in the wind, cutting off a road behind them, and instead it was the shouts of countless people, as well as the dense rain of arrows that fell from the sky......
