The bells and drums pull down the curtain of the night.

There were still some embers left in the western sky, and the stars in the east had lit up.

At the same time, there are thousands of lights lit up.

Li Yan stood on the high place of the yamen of the Imperial Protectorate and looked down, not only did he not feel a trace of comfort in his heart, but he was endlessly bitter.

The news of Tong Tie's defeat of the Xiongnu in Yinshan soon reached Kyoto, causing shock to the government and the public. The Son of Heaven Longyan Dayue promoted Tong Tie Dan to the protector of the North Court, and had overall jurisdiction over the military of the Xiongnu.

Tong Tie Dan knew his own catties, and he also knew the truth of not forgetting the people who dug the well, and reported that Li was brave in battle and played a key role in the battle. As soon as the emperor was happy, the rewards were trivial. Li Yan served as the deputy protector of the North Court, and he was also a "senior member of the DPRK and China".

The brothers of Ping'an City were also rewarded, and everyone went from being a refugee to a full-fledged army eating the emperor's food, and it was not until today that there was a way out.

But Li Yan didn't show any joy, because Miyuki disappeared. She disappeared from Li Yan's eyes like a gust of wind, and there was no trace.

Li Yan sent people to look for a long time, almost every inch of grassland, but what he brought back was always disappointing news. Later, the army started, and Li Yan had to come to the capital guard with the army first, leaving him full of melancholy.

At this moment, he looked into the distance by the railing, and he was still looking in the direction of the grassland.

"Report!" the herald rushed with a long tail note, and the sound stopped, and the person was in front of him, and it was exactly the same.

Li Yan's eyes lit up: "Is there news?"

The herald arched his hand: "Exactly." There is a reply from the Taoist priest here. ”

Li was slightly disappointed, but still took the letterhead.

Although there is no news of Miyuki, this "Linqiong Taoist" can also be. Because if there is anyone in the world who can find Miyuki, it can only be this person.

"Linqiong Taoist Hongdu Ke can be sincere to the soul. ”

Legend has it that in the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong took refuge in Xishu, and the three armies did not send before the Maweipo, and the emperor had no choice but to kill Yang Guifei. Later, the rebellion was put down, and Xuanzong firmly believed that the soul of the beauty was immortal, so he sent a person to the heavens and the earth to find it.

That person is the "Linqiong Taoist".

This person is from Baihe Mountain in Linqiong City, and he can use a subtle and wonderful spell, which can be found in the nine shadows after the Yuan Shen is out of the body. Find a specific person in the vast six realms.

In the end, he really found the soul of Yang Guifei, and even facilitated the emperor and the beauty to meet again.

If a person has such mana, it stands to reason that he should be hot, and fame and fortune are the same. But this "Linqiong Taoist" left neither his name nor a trace. Alone, he left.

Many good deeds went to Linqiong to look for it, and all of them returned disappointed.

Because there is not even a Taoist temple on Baihe Mountain.

"Linqiong Taoist" has slowly become a topic of conversation after dinner. When Li Yan received the first letter, he didn't believe it very much, after all, after he was promoted, all kinds of "talents" were constantly promoting themselves, which was annoying.

But this letter signed "Linqiong Taoist" is different after all, and it is written at the end: Sakuragi Miyuki's disappearance is not an accident, but someone deliberately arranged, if you want to know the reason, you need to talk in detail in person.

Li Yan was taken aback, the name "Sakura Miyuki" is not something ordinary people can know. He hurriedly looked through the envelope, but there was not even a time or address on the entire letter, how could he interview?

But fortunately, within a few days, the second letter arrived. The letter finally stated the time: July 15, but there was still no address.

This person is obviously fishing for Li Remnant's appetite.

Li Yan had already sensed a hint of conspiracy. But for Miyuki, even if it's a conspiracy, even if there's only a 1 in 10,000 chance, he's willing to give it a try.

Now, the third letter is in hand.

Li Yan took a deep breath and unwrapped the fire paint. There is only one line of words on it: "Baihe Mountain Xiaoyao Building, I look forward to seeing you." ”

Li Yan's thoughts were surging in his heart, and he unconsciously crumpled the letter into a ball.

"Master Li?" the herald asked in a puzzled tone.

"Oh, it's okay, you go. Li said quietly.

After the herald left, he took off his official uniform, changed into a coarse cloth robe, and carried a single knife diagonally around his waist. Now that he knows Miyuki's whereabouts, he shouldn't delay any longer.

But at the last moment, he held his own official seal and hesitated for a long time.

Some people see wealth and nobility in the official seal, and some people see fame and fortune in the official seal, but a very small number of people see responsibility in it.

Of course, Li Yan is not reluctant to hold an official position, and his wealth is like a floating cloud to him.

But he knew it was an eventful time.

The fact that the Huns retreated does not mean that they will not make a comeback. When they appear in Yinshan again, they will definitely be even stronger. The girder needs Li Remnant.

But if Li Yan stays, it means that Miyuki will never be seen again.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood a sentence: since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve.

But at this moment, the door opened, and it was Yan Xin who entered. When he saw Li Yan's outfit, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Li Yan, what are you doing here?"

Li Yan didn't answer, but asked slowly: "Mr. Yan, I have always regarded you as a teacher. Can you teach me how to do that?"

Yan Xin is extremely smart, how can he not know what Li Yan thinks about day and night? He thought for a moment and said, "If it were me, I would just have never met that girl." ”

Li Yan lowered his head: "I knew that everyone would say that......"

But Yan Xin said again: "But I'm not you, I don't know how important Miyuki girl is in your heart." So you don't have to make the same choice as me. ”

Li Yan didn't expect the old-fashioned Yan Xin to say such a thing, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a while.

Yan Xin said: "Small righteousness is not good, what is the great righteousness? I strictly believe that if you are kidnapped with the of some family and country, you will be an out-and-out hypocrite." It is important to know that no one has the right to force others to do so. Besides, is it nobler to save a group of people than to save one?

I don't think so.

Go, Li Yan, fight for love, Yan Han has his own emperor's blessing!"

Although it was only a few words, it did break the shackles in Li Yan's heart. Li Yan didn't hesitate any longer, he hugged his fist gratefully, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Yan Xin looked at his back and muttered, "Li Remnant, Li Remnant...... You have to take care of yourself......"

Without saying anything all the way, Li Remnant galloped at night and arrived at Baihe Mountain in Linqiong at dusk on July 15.

As the twilight gradually sank and the crows returned to their nests, it was the Midyear Festival, and many people paid tribute to their deceased relatives on both sides of the road.

Where there are people, there is business, and there are many vendors selling incense, candles, paper horses, and horses along the way.

Li Yan casually walked to a stall, and the vendor immediately accosted: "This master, what do you choose?"

Li Yan shook his head: "I'm sorry, I just want to ask for directions." ”

The peddler was also enthusiastic and said, "Then you have found the right person." I am a native of Linqiong, and I can't be more familiar with the neighborhood, where do you want to go?"

Li Yan said: "Xiaoyao Building." Did you know?"

The peddler frowned when he heard this: "Xiaoyao Lou, why haven't I heard of it...... Are you sure you're in Linqiong?"

Li Ren hurriedly added: "That's right, I forgot to say it, it's on Baihe Mountain." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the peddler was taken aback and said tremblingly: "You...... You say White Crane Mountain?"

Li Yanwu was puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong with Baihe Mountain?"

The peddler didn't answer, but kept repeating: "White Crane Mountain...... The fear on Xiaoyaolou......'s face gradually increased.

Li Yan realized that there must be some doorway that outsiders didn't know, so he took out two coins and stuffed them into the vendor's hand, and said, "Little brother, I'm a foreigner, and I don't know anything about us here. Can you tell me about it?"

The peddler was startled, and withdrew his hand sharply, and the silver fell to the ground with a click.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at Li Yan for a long time, and finally said, "This guest, I advise you not to go to Baihe Mountain." As for what Xiaoyao Building...... It's even more to mention it. ”

Li Yanqi said: "What's wrong with this place?"

The peddler picked up the silver, respectfully returned it to Li Yan, and said, "As soon as you came up, you made a direct inquiry, and someone must have mentioned that place to you." But whoever says it, you just think he's a fart. ”

Li Yan was even more strange: "Oh, why do you say that?"

"Because Baihe Mountain is a large cemetery, mass graves abound on the mountain. As for the Joyful Building...... Of course, there is none. But I've heard of it. ”

"The Pit?"

"Hmm!" the peddler nodded solemnly: "After the White Tiger entered Shu, our old and young masters in Linqiong organized the rebel army to resist, but after all, they were outnumbered and were beheaded in Baihe Mountain in several places.

Among them, there was a strong team, which had always been taboo by the soldiers, and was unfortunately captured that time. The general at the head said to the soldiers: Our group of people live a bright and upright life, and they are not afraid of death. But the only regret is that there is no wine on Huangquan Road, and it is a little lonely. Can you get some wine to get you on your way?

It can really be said that everyone respects the loyal ministers and filial sons, and the soldiers also know that they admire the righteous people, so they report the matter to their commanders. When the commander heard this, "What's so so hard about this?" I'll let them drink and die!

After all, people dug a deep pit, poured wine into a pool, and drowned all those rebels in it. Just because they were drunk to death, this pit got the nickname of 'Easy Pit'.

But where is this easy pit? It's clearly a ghost pit!

Don't you know, sometimes at night the ghost fire in the White Crane Mountain is lit, and the singular Xiaoyao pit is the most phosphorescent! It is rumored that occasionally a woodcutter accidentally breaks into the pit, and a ghost asks him for a drink. If you can take it back, it's just that, if you can't take it out, it's a pile of bones!

That place is already very evil, and since today is the 15th Ghost Festival of the seventh month, it is the heaviest time of the year, so you can't go there! I see that you are young, but don't give your life in vain!"

Li Yan secretly thought in his heart that there was such a miracle? It seems that the "Linqiong Dao person" is not a good person. But for the sake of Miyuki's whereabouts, he has to break through this trip even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.

So he thanked the peddler, bought a few large bundles of paper money, and still hurried in the direction of Baihe Mountain.

By the time we arrived at Baihe Mountain, it was already completely dark.

Li Remnant burned the paper money at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I, Li Remnant, went to the treasure land only to find people, and if there is any disturbance, I will look at Haihan." After Li goes back, he will definitely open a water and land dojo, and surpass you to ascend to Bliss early!"

After saying that, he bowed respectfully three times, and then walked towards the mountain. Along the way, the sudden dark clouds covered the moon, and the sudden cold was overwhelming, and I could only hear the sound of rustling around, as if someone was tweeting and whispering.

Li Yan was not afraid, and only lightly showed the treasure knife half an inch.

I saw a clear light shoot out, and the dark clouds were shining on the mountain road like lightning. The whispers vanished, the mountain road was repaved with moonlight, and the wind softened.

At this time, Li Yan suddenly saw a strange team walking on the opposite side.

At the head were two house-like people with lanterns, and four coolies behind them carried a sedan chair. They were very short, not as small as teenagers. Next to the sedan chair is a beautiful maidservant, her eyes are like silk, and she is very seductive.

She asked in a sweet voice, "Is it Li Remnant Li Ye who came?"

Li Ren hugged his fists: "Don't dare to be, it's Li." ”

The woman pursed her lips and smiled: "Why is Master Li so polite? My name is Xiao Hongyu, and I am here to pick you up on the orders of my master." ”

Li Yan asked, "Is your lord a 'Linqiong Taoist'?"

Xiao Hongyu said: "The master changes his name from time to time, and we don't know much about being a servant, so you might as well ask him personally." ”

Li Yan thought that since he was here, he had nothing to worry about, so he unceremoniously boarded the sedan chair. But seeing that the four coolies were all lucky, the green tendons on their necks burst out, and the small sedan chair was swallowed slowly.

Those few people are small, and their strength is naturally not great. Li Yan looked quite unbearable, so he said, "Red Jade girl, why don't I come down and walk." Now that the night is just right, I am also blowing the wind. ”

The maidservant girl smiled and said: "Master Li, the first slave family is not called Hongyu, but Xiao Hongyu, why did you forget it for a while? Also, these idiots can carry a sedan chair for you, which is a blessing they have cultivated in their previous life, and it is too late to kowtow to you, how can you not be happy? If you want me to say, you can sit steadily, and we will be there in a while." ”

Li Yan said "hmm" and stopped talking. Because he realized that something was wrong.

First of all, these palanquin drivers and subordinates, their eyes are dull, they look stupid and stupid, and they don't know if they can understand what others are saying.

The second is this maid who calls herself "Little Hongyu", who is charming and ruthless, and her eyebrows and eyes often flash with a cold glow.

What's more, his own sword is whining in the box, as if to warn.

These "people" are by no means normal.

Sure enough, after walking for a while, suddenly a sedan chair driver shouted: "If you go back, you will die, I won't do it!"

One of the four bars was missing, and the sedan chair naturally couldn't move forward, and fell to the ground with a bang.

But when he saw the palanquin man on all fours, he ran towards the woods as if he were flying. Surprisingly, although he is fat and short, his speed is really not slow, and he can jump far away in a few clicks.

Xiao Hongyu frowned and scolded: "minion, see how I clean you up!"

Li Yan only felt that the red light flickered, and it seemed that something furry disappeared in a flash.

But seeing that the little red jade was faster, he caught up with the palanquin man in a few steps and threw him to the ground. The palanquin man cried and howled: "Don't, don't! Spare me, I'm willing to work!"

But little Hongyu's fingers went straight into her throat, and she only heard a few cooing sounds before she stopped moving. Xiao Hongyu seemed to have a beastly hair, frantically tearing the body of the sedan chair man.

Li could clearly see that what had been separated from his body was not a human body, but pieces of fur.

After a long time, Xiao Hongyu finished venting her anger and walked out of the woods. Under the moonlight, I saw her covered in blood, and a big tail swinging around her back.

Li Yan suddenly realized, it turned out that this maid was a vixen!
