Half a day later, Liu Ming quietly left the Bai family again, and as soon as he walked out of Lushui City, he immediately summoned a gray cloud and flew away in a certain direction.

As for the divorce between him and the Mu family, it was naturally handed over to the Bai family to deal with, which was also part of the transaction.

The herdsman's envoy, he was even less interested in seeing it, and he didn't want to waste any more time on it.

After all, he has other important things to do.

Seven or eight days later, Liu Ming left Fengtian County, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Two months later, on an official road hundreds of miles away from Xuanjing, the capital of the Great Xuanguo, more than thirty black-armored knights were escorting three carriages slowly.

Each of these black-armored knights is wearing a thick armor coat, holding a gun and a knife, and their murderous appearance is the famous Black Tiger Guard of the Great Xuan Kingdom.

One of them, with a pale red tassel on his head and a pale green bow on his back, was the captain in charge of a group of men and horses in the Black Guard.

Although according to the regulations, a team of people is only about thirty people, but the black guards have always been stationed in the fortresses of various counties, specifically for the imperial court to monitor the movements of soldiers and civilians in various places, even an ordinary military lieutenant is counted as an official position.

Now these Black Tiger Guards and the lieutenants are all dispatched, just to escort these carriages, it can be seen that the owner of the carriage must be either rich or expensive.

"My lord, it's getting late, let's find a place to stay, and wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to hurry up, we should be able to rush to Xuanjing." A strong man-looking armor soldier in front of him suddenly came to the captain with a horse's head and whispered.

"Well, of course I know about it. However, the nearest post station is thirty or forty miles away. You take two people and go to the front to explore. See if there are suitable places to stay nearby. The lieutenant replied faintly, with a cold black visor on his face. I can't see the truth.

"Yes. Black Bull, Tie Xiaosan, you come with me to the front to explore. The strong man immediately agreed. Loudly greeted the two of the other armorers behind him.

Suddenly, two of the soldiers in the back rushed out, and the three of them quickly whipped down and galloped forward.

"Captain Du, is something wrong?" In the front carriage, a magnetic woman's voice suddenly sounded.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Mi, I'm just asking a few of my men to go down and find a place to stay. The lieutenant in the black armor heard this and turned his head back.

"Oh, it's okay. Thanks to Captain Du for escorting you all the way, I must thank you all when I get to Xuanjing. The woman in the carriage seemed relieved. But he said very gratefully.

"Thank you, Madame, for your kindness, we are just on the orders of Lord Dutong!" the lieutenant bowed slightly, as if he was reluctant to say more.

And after the woman in the carriage chuckled, she also kept silent.

When the convoy continued to move forward for about a quarter of an hour, the sound of horses' hooves in front of it sounded again, but it was the strong man flying horse galloping towards him.

As soon as he reached the convoy, he slowed down his mount with a rein.

"Lord Lieutenant, I found an abandoned temple next to the official road five miles away from here, where the Black Bull and Tie Xiaosan had already cleaned up. "As soon as the strong man came to the captain. Said respectfully.

"Very well, you lead the way, let's go to the temple for a night's rest. Hearing this, the lieutenant said without thinking.

So the team immediately sped up a few points. Following the strong man left, he also began to trot.

A quarter of an hour later, the convoy came to a yellow sorghum earthen temple far away from the official road.

Outside the temple, there were two black tiger horses, but there was also a small black carriage. Two blue and white mules were tethered to a beer stake outside, and they were quietly nibbling on the nearby weeds with their heads down.

And the fire in the earthen temple flickered. There was a faint sound of talking.

"What's going on?" Seeing this, Captain Du's voice immediately sank. Ask the strong man next to him.

"Back to the captain, when I found this place, there were already two passers-by here. However, the subordinates have already interrogated. They went to Xuanjing to join their relatives, one was a famous scholar who was powerless, and the other was just a young girl. The strong man hurriedly stepped forward and replied.

"yes, it's a big deal, I'll take a look at these two first. Lieutenant Du still didn't seem to be at ease, and after saying a few words lightly, he jumped off his horse and strode towards the temple.

I saw that two fires, one large and one small, had been lit in the earthen temple.

Among the larger fires sat two tall and one short, and near the smaller ones were a young man in a blue robe and a thin girl of seven or eight years old.

Although the girl was handsome, she looked yellow and thin, and she snuggled up to the young man with half of her body, and seemed to be very attached to the young man.

The young Confucian looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, his face was very ordinary, but he was holding an unknown thick book in his hand, and he was looking at it with relish in the firelight.

When the two armor soldiers by the fire saw Captain Du walking in, they immediately stood up in shock and hurried over to salute.

"Excuse me. ”

"What's your name, but you have a guide, where do you come from and where are you going?" Lieutenant Du waved his hand, but after looking at the scholar a few times, he asked coldly.

"Ah, it turned out to be the military master. In Xia Qianming, I went to Xuanjing with my niece to join my family. As for Lu Yin, please ......wait a while" As soon as Confucius heard what Captain Du asked, it seemed that he had just come to his senses, and after subconsciously answering a few words, he touched his body for a while, and finally took out a crumpled note and handed it over.

A soldier hurriedly took a few steps forward, took the note, turned around and handed it to Lieutenant Du.

Lieutenant Du just glanced at the note a few times, then nodded and handed it over to the armor again, asking him to return it to Confucius, and he turned around and walked out of the earthen temple without saying a word.

After a while, there was a neighing sound of horses shouting outside the temple, and more than a dozen armorers rushed in and began to clean the temple quickly, and then brought many bundles of firewood from nowhere, and raised several bonfires.

At this moment, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked in, holding a boy of seven or eight years old in one hand, followed by a rough servant woman and a pretty maid who was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

As soon as the beautiful woman and boy entered the earthen temple, the servant woman spread out a snow-white animal skin in her bosom around a fire, and placed two low wooden stools on which the woman and the boy could sit. And the pretty maid took out a palm-sized incense burner, and put an incense candle on it, and lit it little by little.

Immediately, a faint smell of sandalwood spread in the earthen temple.

After the other armor soldiers and Nadu military captains entered the earthen temple, and then gave an order, except for five or six people standing at the temple gate to guard, most of the others began to take off their armor and blades from their bodies one by one, and it seemed that they were also planning to take a good rest.

As soon as Lieutenant Du took off his helmet, mask and armor, he turned out to be a slender and heroic woman.

It's just that the woman has a pale red scar on her forehead, which destroys her appearance by two or three points, and at the same time, her face is cold and abnormal, and she doesn't have the slightest smile, and after putting a pale green bow and a black arrow in her hand, she sits cross-legged opposite the beautiful woman and the boy, looking at the fire and is silent.

At this time, the other armorers began to take out some rice ball-like food from their bodies and ate them quietly as well.

The Black Tiger Guard is worthy of being the elite sergeants of the famous Great Xuan Kingdom, and they are all well-trained.

But on the side of the beautiful woman, the servant woman had already gone outside the temple again, and took out a bamboo basket from the carriage, and took out some exquisite food from it, and let the beautiful woman and the boy eat it.

"Captain Du, there are a lot of meals here in the concubine's body, so it's better to eat some together. After the glamorous woman took out a piece of delicate pastry and fed it to the boy a few bites, her eyes swept over the Yingting woman who was still sitting motionless opposite, and suddenly said with a smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Mi for your kindness, I have learned some techniques of bigu, even if you don't eat for two or three days, it's okay. After the Ying Ting woman glanced at the beautiful woman, she shook her head indifferently.

"I see, the concubine is not reluctant to be a lieutenant. When the beautiful woman saw this, she was not angry, but smiled and continued to feed the boy.

But the boy only took a few more bites, and then shook his head again and again, but after rolling his eyes, he looked at the girl next to the Confucian scholar at the fire on the other side with some curiosity.

I saw that the girl had an extra piece of steaming roasted yellow steamed bun in her hand at some point, and she bit it down and swallowed it very seriously.

"Slow down, don't choke. The Confucian was still holding the book in his hand and looking at it, but after seeing the girl's painstaking swallowing at a glance, he said with a slight smile, and with a movement of his arm, he actually took out a still warm leather bag from his arms and handed it to the girl. ”

"Thank you, Brother Ming"

The girl took the leather bag very obediently and poured two mouthfuls into her little mouth, her little face full of smiles.

However, there was a faint fragrance coming from the leather bag, but because it was far less intense than the smell of sandalwood, few people found it. But the beautiful woman who was persuading the boy to eat, but the moment she smelled this fragrance, her face couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and she looked at the leather bag in the girl's hand with an almost puzzled look.

"This gentleman, may I ask ...... in this leather bag" After Mrs. Mi's eyes flickered a few times, she wanted to say something to the young Confucian with a light cough.

But at this moment, a piercing scream suddenly came from outside the temple, and then there was a sound of breaking the air, and after a few black tiger guards standing outside the temple gate screamed, they were pierced by more than a dozen arrows shot from the black night.

At this moment, the black guards who were resting in the temple were all in a big mess, and they immediately grabbed the blades beside the first generals who didn't care about putting on armor and made a vigilant posture.

Some people even found a few thick leather shields out of nowhere, and the figures shook in front of Mrs. Mi and the boy, protecting them tightly. (To be continued......)
