Volume 1: Breaking the Sky Chapter 7 The Arrow Comes from the South

Looking at the top of the tent, Luo Fan's mind came up with traces after leaving Weicheng.

The lavish carriage was always closed, and there was no chance to see any princess at all, only the delicate and arrogant maid gave instructions from time to time.

It's just that for some reason, the servant girl Hao didn't hide her disgust for him.

Luo Fan thinks she is a good actor. Because whether it is in Weicheng or on the journey, whether it is the sergeants from the capital, or the temperament and expression she exudes, it is difficult to see...... She is not a handmaiden.

It was this that made him feel a little strange, he had always thought that the real nobles in the upper echelons of the Great Qin Empire should not have too much leisure and leisure to intersect too much with the guards or maids.

However, these were not the things he really cared about, and for a few days he always paid attention to the old man in the carriage in his old robes, and if his guess was correct, the old man with a gentle expression should be the Taoist master mentioned by General Ma.

After Li Yixue's accident, Luo Fan was determined to step into that mysterious world, rather than relying on others, it is better to rely on himself, but he was not allowed to enter the door, the reason why he was willing to follow this team to the academy was not only to become a classmate in the academy in the future, but more importantly, there was such a real monk in this team.

It's a pity that along the way, he never had the opportunity to talk to the old man who was closely protected, but when he was stationed in the camp to eat, he could occasionally meet the old man's eyes for a moment, and at that moment he seemed to see the gentleness, amiability and even encouragement in the old man's eyes, which made him a little puzzled.

The thinker could not understand it, and he ignored it for the time being, turned back to the tent and went to sleep.

......

............

When he woke up the next morning, Luo Fan slept very well, but his expression seemed to be extremely eager to sleep for another three days and three nights, full of shock and dissatisfaction.

"Why a temporary change of route?"

He looked at the indifferent servant girl in front of him, suppressed his emotions, and said as gently as possible: "Go through the mountain in front of you and go straight to Huaxi Road, there will be no problem with the route I choose." ”

None of the people in the tent, including the maidservant, answered his question.

"I'm the guide, and you're not familiar with the area. Luo Fan looked at the maidservant, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I know that you are worried about an ambush, and I can assure you that as long as you listen to me, no one will be able to stop you." ”

The servant girl looked at him like looking at a stone, and the meaning she wanted to express was very clear, probably what qualifications do you have to ask me to explain to you?

Reaching out and taking out a simple map from his pocket, he pointed to one of the places and said, "If you change the route, then I will only send you to this avenue, and then I will go up to the Heavenly Mountains by myself." ”

The maidservant looked at him indifferently, without Sihao's expression, as if she hadn't heard Luofan's words at all.

After Luo Fan was silent for a moment again, he pointed to one of the places on the simple hand-drawn map and said, "The route you have chosen, this is the only way to go, and the other party only needs to send a few horse teams over to slaughter this place." ”

"There's something wrong with my instincts, I'm here to be a guide, not to die. ”

The maidservant didn't even pay any attention to his thoughts.

Luo Fan shook his head and hurried to his tent.

"You should convince them" I don't know when, the Taoist was standing outside the tent of the mortal.

Luo Fan saw him with some surprise and replied: "Because I believe that the fierce character who dares to assassinate the fourth princess of Great Qin will definitely not be an idiot like that woman, and there are few plans." ”

Lu Daochang said with some surprise: "You can see it...... But it's still polite to her. ”

"I know who she really is. Luo Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said mockingly: "What if she is a princess? I said in Weicheng that this is an idiot princess." ”

"Regardless of your words, are you going to slip away halfway, won't you convince them?"

"I guess the people over there will answer the princess, so they won't listen to me. Luo Fan replied: "I am not good at convincing this group of pig-like partners. ”

Daoist surnamed Lu didn't speak, and asked with his eyes, what about the old man?

"Even if you have a long person to pick up, the choice of location is also very important, and if I had to decide, I would rather put the pick-up point on a certain avenue than on Pine Cone Ridge. ”

Luo Fan looked at the eye-catching ink dots just marked on the hand-drawn map and said: "They chose to go from the North Mountain Road, but they didn't want to think that although it was a single road, the seven-mile-long road was full of dense forests on both sides, and it was very easy to set up ambushes. ”

After saying this, he was silent for a moment, put the hand-drawn map into his clothes, shook his head and said, "It seems that the so-called guide, in addition to bringing you into the North Mountain Road, is more just trying to confuse the enemy. That princess didn't believe in General Ma at all, and naturally she wouldn't believe me. ”

"What an idiot with a bunch of idiots. Thinking of the possible ambush attack of Tongling in Beishan Dao, and thinking of those who either had or did not have the answerers, his mood became heavier and more depressed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Dao Chief, you don't persuade her." ”

The Taoist chief looked at Luo Fan and showed some expectant smiles, and said: "Although I am a cultivator, like you, I am just a speck of dust in this world. After a while, Daoist Lu said again, "You don't want to ask me about the method of cultivation?"

With a bang, Luo Fan pulled out the spear on his back, unscrewed the water bag and poured the grinding stone, and began to sharpen the spear in silence.

"Not leaving, the most important thing is to practice?"

"The most important thing is to be alive. Luo Fan lowered his head and sharpened his gun, his movements were slow, powerful and firm, "As long as you can reach Tianshan Academy alive, there will always be a chance to learn those things, if you throw your life here, there will be no possibility." ”

Yes, life is the heaviest.

......

......

The farther north we went, the colder the climate became, and the icy breath could be transmitted into the carriage through the wheels, perhaps because of entering the mountain road, the grass around the convoy faded away, turning into tall trees that greeted each other, and the leaves had not yet sprouted in spring, still retaining the solemn meaning accumulated in the autumn and winter of last year.

As the temperature between heaven and earth dropped slightly, a tense and depressing atmosphere also enveloped the entire convoy, and everyone knew that the big man in the capital who dared to murder Her Royal Highness the princess, if he wanted to prevent the princess from going to the Tianshan Academy, then this mountain between Biansai and Tianshan was his last chance.

In the tense vigilance and search, the convoy walked for several days, and finally arrived at the periphery of the Beishan crossing, looking at the dense forest that covered the sky and the sun, most of the people in the team did not show a worried look like Luo Fan, but seemed to relax a lot.

During this time, the handsome maid did not appear at random again, and remained in the second carriage most of the time. That evening, there was a faint smile on her face.

The enrollment requirements of Tianshan Academy are extremely strict, she is the only one of the royal children recruited by the opening of Tianshan Academy, unlike Luofan, just passing the preliminary examination, and cannot officially become a disciple of the academy, those who have passed the preliminary examination will arrive at the academy with the officially recruited students, mainly responsible for some miscellaneous matters, and she is about to become the first batch of official students of the academy in the fifty years of its opening, and she is the only one.

When she decided to go to Tianshan Academy, she had already asked the royal family to contact the royal family's predecessors and sages in advance. Although it is not possible for the predecessors and sages to arrive in the capital to pick them up, it is still possible to reach the North Mountain Road near the Tianshan Mountains.

Ten days ago, she received news from the capital, and she decided to go straight to Beishan Road without hesitation, because she believed that her second brother should have contacted the former sages of the academy through the worship of the court, and she should have arrived at Beishan Road at this time.

Her second brother has always taken good care of her since she was a child, and the talent she showed this time directly caused a sensation in the royal family, and finally reported her behavior directly to Tianshan Academy, and she became the only disciple of Tianshan Academy who opened the academy once in fifty years. But there are always some people who can't see her well, but she believes that her second brother, from childhood to adulthood, is the second brother who helps her bear everything. Moreover, every time he looked at him, his gaze was always so gentle.

There were still more than 30 miles to go to the agreed place, and the convoy began to camp and rest in the twilight, walking through the forest late at night, no matter from which angle you looked, it was a very risky behavior, and even waited for the guard to advise her, the team simply waited outside the Beishan Road crossing, and waited for the predecessors and sages of the academy to come.

She was still thinking about this proposal, but no matter how she looked at it, she should be safe now, and as soon as she entered the academy, she would be a member of the academy from now on, so a smile resurfaced on her delicate cheeks, and the suppressed song returned to the camp.

In the twilight, a rudimentary tent was set up alone on the periphery of the circular carriage, and the chief of the princess's guard questioned it, but the owner of the tent insisted that he would not move into the circle of five carriages and chests.

"Don't stay away from their cars, how can you run in case of an accident. ”

Luo Fan said with some self-effusity. He tied up his bladeless sword and erected his spear outside the tent.

The camp is outside the North Mountain Pass, without the shelter of dense forests, bathed in the last twilight, and it is extremely comfortable, but at this moment it seems to be dyed with a layer of blood red.

The wind walked through the forest that had just woken up in the spring, whistling and whispering, as if there was a ghost crying, Luo Fan frowned and looked into the depths of the dense forest, listened carefully to the details in those whines, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"

The murmur in the whispering of the forest wind finally revealed the truth, and a feathered arrow struck from the forest like lightning, whining and screaming, shooting towards the luxurious carriage in the chariot array!
