Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nandu

At the end of Nanling, it is located in Louyang County, the southernmost part of the Yunlang Empire.

Louyang County can be regarded as a border heavy.

The Yunlang Empire included it under the military jurisdiction, which was directly governed by the Zhennan Army, one of the four major legions.

In the entire Yunlang Empire, there are only three special counties like this.

One is Yanxun County in the eastern coastal area, the other is Langshan County, which borders the barbarians in the north, and the other is this Louyang County.

There are a total of 36 counties in Yunlang world, of which 10 counties are divided into 10 princes with different surnames who have made outstanding achievements, and three counties are under the jurisdiction of the military, and the remaining four counties are divided into royal princes, and the rest are directly under the jurisdiction of Kyoto.

The people of Louyang County are mainly engaged in business and trade, as well as a series of side businesses derived from commerce, and the commerce here is extremely developed, and the business of Louyang merchants is even all over the world.

As a result, the Louyang merchant gang was gradually formed, and all those Louyang businessmen who had quite a lot of property were huddled together for warmth.

The purpose is probably to help each other, bring new people, and make friends.

In this regard, the Zhennan military did not say anything, and they were not afraid of spies spying on intelligence, and they were extremely confident.

However, it cannot be said that the Zhennan military is too arrogant, but they really have a real reason to be strong.

In the early years, they suppressed Gou Chen's temptations again and again, and wrestled with the huge Gou Chen Empire for hundreds of years, and they never suffered a big loss.

However, the Gouchen Empire is becoming more and more declining, especially in the past hundred years, with the sudden rise of Wang Chunru, the forces of the rivers and lakes have seriously infiltrated Gou Chen's court, and Gou Chen has become Wang Chunru's world.

The martial arts are in turmoil, even though Wang Chunru has the world in his heart, few of the martial artists under him have his consciousness.

In short, at the beginning, Gou Chen was in a mess, and it was only later that Wang Chunru and the Jianghu people set the rules, and it got better.

It's just that this serious internal friction has made Gou Chen lose the capital to wrestle with Yunlang, and now he can only barely protect himself under the watchful eye of the Zhennan Army.

If it weren't for the fear of Wang Chunru, who was as strong as a god, Yun Lang would have already waved his army south.

In recent years, the Zhennan Army has pushed the defense line to the border between the two countries, which is really a bit ugly, but the corresponding outline can only be stubbornly defended.

The two armies are facing each other, and you can even hear the daily drills on the opposite side.

The atmosphere is getting more and more depressing.

Xu Ji brought the hat again, and this time, she also wore a veil.

Yu Yanke thought about it, and also got a hat and put it on in style.

According to his words, he and Xu Ji are now accomplices, and they should be careful when they have absconded here.

Xu Ji scoffed at this, but did not refute it.

The two of them went down the mountain one after the other and entered this Louyang County.

The more south, the less populated, probably to the junction of the two countries, sometimes disputes, the people are afraid of harming the pond fish, so they all retreat.

On the official road, in addition to the military troops who routinely patrol, there are only caravans and sporadic people from the rivers and lakes.

Yu Yanke and Xu Ji are particularly abrupt.

After resting for one night in a big commercial station, Yu Yanke and Xu Ji had a brief discussion and made a decision.

It just so happened that there was a caravan recruiting mercenary dart masters, so Yu Yanke pulled Xu Ji to report a caravan that was going to the territory of Gouchen Kingdom.

When the man in charge saw that they were two young men who did not look very old, he asked them to try their skills.

The opponent was a strong man, with a simple face, a shaved head, and what made people feel chilling was that he had a terrible scar on the back of his head, which looked neat and should have been a knife wound.

I don't know how a person who has been injured like this can still live so alive, Yu Yanke is unheard of anyway.

Xu Ji's dress this time is more masculine, and a wide black robe covers her delicate and seductive figure very well, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see her difference.

Yu Yanke considered that Xu Ji was a daughter, and she had to hide her gender at all times, otherwise it would be easy to attract peeps, so in order to reduce the killing, she should stand up.

Although he is more than half a little weaker than Xu Xi, he is also a genuine little grandmaster, and it is rare to see him in the rivers and lakes.

The strong man reported to his home, saying that his surname was Zhang Mingrong, and he was a master of opening the ninety-nine-eighty-one tricks, and before he started, he laughed loudly and shouted: "Little brother, pay attention!"

Then he rushed over more than ten paces.

Yu Yanke has been promoted to the realm of a little grandmaster for more than a year, and he has already accumulated extremely deep, it stands to reason that for the small fish and shrimp of the level of the big man Zhang Rong, he should be able to slap half to death, but in order not to appear too shocking, he deliberately suppressed the cultivation.

As if he didn't react, seeing that Zhang Rong's punch was about to hit Yu Yanke's chest, Yu Yanke hurriedly took a step back, folded his palms, and stopped this palm with all his might.

"Good boy, you have some skills!" Zhang Rong laughed in surprise, and then shouted: "Pick me up again!"

As he spoke, he twisted his waist and lifted his legs on the spot, his legs swept like a whip, and Yu Yanke made a half-squat horse step, blocking with his right elbow.

However, Zhang Rong's leg strength was really good, and his strength was so strong that Yu Yanke's arm was numb.

"I can't see it, boy, you have to have more than seventy skills, I think at the beginning, when I was your age, I was only about twenty skills. ”

Zhang Rong was slightly stunned when he saw Yu Yanke blocking his leg whip so hard, and then laughed heartily.

Yu Yanke said: "It's still because of the mercy of the seniors. ”

Zhang Rong laughed, said three times in a row, and then looked at Xu Xi again.

For Xu Xi, Zhang Rong is a little incomprehensible, this person looks at the height of one meter six, and he looks like a child under his height of one meter eight.

But his aura is very dangerous, Zhang Rong commented on Xu Xi from the bottom of his heart.

Yu Yanke saw Zhang Rong staring at Xu Xi, afraid that he would see something, so he hurriedly laughed and said with a smile: "Senior, this is the younger brother, this time I am walking with him, planning to see the world, the elder brother's temperament has always been cold, there is a place to offend, and he still looks at Haihan." ”

Zhang Rong retracted his gaze, patted Yu Yanke's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Since it is your brother, the ability is definitely not under you, so you have passed." ”

Yu Yanke was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you seniors for your appreciation." ”

"It's a small thing. Zhang Rong said: "My master is the leading businessman in Louyang County, this time because the business is a little expanded, there is not enough manpower, so I am temporarily recruited, I only need you to wait for the escort to Gouchen." ”

"Kid saved. ”

Yu Yanke nodded.

"Well, if there is no major event along the way, according to the law, each person will be paid ten times. ”

Zhang Rong thought for a moment and added.

Yu Yanke's eyes lit up slightly.

Night

Xu Ji sat with her knees crossed, the whole person shrunk in the corner of the big bed against the wall, Yu Yanke was also embarrassed, and she didn't dare to climb into bed to rest, so she had to sit at the table, holding her cheeks in a daze.

Because the caravan saved money, knowing that Yu Yanke and the two were brothers, they simply arranged to live together.

Yu Yanke didn't dare to look at Xu Xi's face under the veil, for fear that she would accidentally touch her scales and be stabbed to death by Xu Xi's sword.

"You said this method should work, right?" Yu Yanke seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was talking to Xu Ji.

Xu Ji didn't say anything.

"It stands to reason that Yun Lang's movements shouldn't be so slow, it's possible that we have already escaped. Yu Yanke analyzed by himself.

"No way. ”

Xu Xi's dull voice came from the corner of the wall. Yu Yanke's eyes lit up and he smiled: "I thought you were really angry." ”

Xu Ji stopped talking again.

"Don't worry, whether it's tonight or every night in the future, whenever there is such an embarrassing situation, you just have to rest, and you still don't trust me after walking together for so long?"

Yu Yanke said softly: "In the mountains, we will sleep on our backs, and between us, we don't need to care about these anymore." ”

"So, what do you want?" Xu Ji's tone became cold.

"I just want to get a good night's sleep......"

Yu Yanke felt a sense of frustration, and he said to Xu Ji helplessly: "You also have to see that I have filial piety to you along the way, so I can give you a good face, right?"

Xu Ji was silent for a while before she said in a muffled voice, "Then you go to bed." ”

The voice is very soft, as thin as a mosquito.

Yu Yanke didn't have the slightest joy, her mind was full of the voice that she finally stopped treating me as an outsider, and she was really physically and mentally exhausted.

"Good night. ”

Yu Yanke fell asleep while lying down. Xu Ji looked at him with a complicated expression.

After a long time, she gently got out of bed and sat on the stool where Yu Yanke was sitting before, her thoughts were chaotic.

Sleepless nights.

The next day, Yu Yanke woke up early, and the sky was only faintly bright. And Xu Ji was not in the house, there was a plate of side dishes, a bowl of porridge, and two snow-white steamed buns on the table in the house.

Yu Yanke heard that there were already people outside, and everyone who wanted to come to the caravan woke up.

It seems that all walks of life are not so easy to mix.

Recalling what he had seen and heard in the past few days of traveling away from home, Yu Yanke shook his head and sighed lightly.

got out of bed and stretched, Yu Yanke quickly went out, went to the water room to wash up, and went back to the room to eat.

It didn't take long for Xu Ji to come back.

Yu Yanke didn't raise his head, and buried his head in eating.

Xu Ji didn't speak, but just sat opposite Yu Yanke, wearing a hat on her head and a veil on her face, and only she could know what her expression was.

"What's wrong?"

After Yu Yanke finished eating, he saw that she was still sitting upright, and said strangely.

"Nothing. Xu Ji said softly.

Yu Yanke nodded, cleaned up the table, took out the dishes and chopsticks, and gave them to the store.

Then he went back into the house.

"Wang Donghua, is this really your name?" Xu Ji asked suddenly. Yu Yanke was stunned for a moment, looking at her with a blank expression. Xu Ji sighed.

"Since you want me to accept you and recognize you as my friend, then you have to be sincere. Xu Ji said calmly: "Because as far as I know, the Wang family of Beihe County has not had such a number one person as you in recent years. ”

Yu Yanke was stunned, not knowing why she suddenly became troubled.

"I believed in you before because I knew that even if you were not from the Wang family, your family background would only be better than the Wang family, especially under constant contact, I could clearly see that you were different from the Wang family's family style and upbringing. ”

"It's not that the Wang family is unbearable, but you, too good, the Wang family, it is impossible to cultivate a child like you. ”

Xu Ji set the tone, but Yu Yanke didn't know why she was so sure.

It sounded like she had studied all the big families in the past.
