Chapter 1: The Black Wind Monster

The carriage drove on a mountain road that was not very wide, the mountains on both sides of the mountain road were steep, the strange rocks were craggy, the cold wind blew, with a whistling sound, rolling up the green forests on the mountain like waves, and raising the dust between the mountain roads like mist.

There was a coachman sitting on the carriage, although he looked like a coachman, his hands holding the reins were covered with yellow calluses, and the green tendons were bursting up, and the two tall horses were shaking the reins under his hands like a slow wind, and the carriage walked steadily. On both sides of the carriage, more than a dozen wrapped men trotted to follow, these people trotted up and were athletic, their cold faces were expressionless, Rao had been running for a day and a night, and these people were still not red and out of breath.

I looked up at the somewhat gloomy sky and lowered the curtain. We set off from Cloud Villa, and this is the sixth day. Youyun Villa is west of the north and south mountain ranges, I thought that the carriage out of the Youyun Villa will choose the pipeline to Yongzhou, but I didn't expect that there is a mountain road through the north and south mountains at the west gate of Youyun Villa, along the mountain road all the way to the west, no city, no county, hurriedly traveled for five days, and has arrived in Chengdu Yazhou.

This time we went to the Western Regions, we had a total of five carriages and horses, two carriages and horses for carrying people, and the other three carriages loaded with six large wooden boxes. I know some common sense in my dart career, the speed of the carriage is far less fast than that of a single horse, and the carriage is loaded with goods, and there are more than a dozen people on both sides of the carriage on foot, so the speed will be even slower. In the past, when I darts, I rode around the cart, and the speed of travel was like walking on foot. But this time it's different from the darts, it's fast.

Behind him, Su Qingyao said with a smile: "Gu Shaoxia, the coachman has been following the owner for a lot of time, and often carries people to the Western Regions, he is already familiar with this road, and the name of the place he reported will never be fake, he said that when he arrived in Yazhou, he went to Yazhou." ”

After getting out of the carriage that night, I found that Su Qingyao was already sitting in the carriage. At that time, I was a little surprised, and after asking, I learned that Su Qingyao had rushed back to Youyun Villa as early as when Chenzhou City was attacked by worms, and it was just when Zhongyuan was talking to Cheng Fuhai about me in Youyun Villa, Su Qingyao told me about the things in Chenzhou City, which made Cheng Fuhai and Zhongyuan go to Chenzhou City to find me. In the few days I was in Youyun Villa, Su Qingyao had been preparing to go to the Death Swamp, and these carriages and goods were all arranged by Su Qingyao. He knows some witchcraft, and this time he goes to the Death Swamp, Cheng Fuhai will definitely take him with him.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire Cheng Fuhai's depth of the city again, and he was so accurate that I was amazed. Cheng Fuhai had already expected that Yu Wensheng would come to the villa to find out the news, and knew that this trip would be advanced, so he ordered Su Qingyao to prepare the carriage as early as possible. The reason why Su Qingyao did not show up all the time was to show foolishness, making people feel that it was impossible for Cheng Fuhai to go to the Death Swamp alone, and he would definitely go to the Death Swamp with the Seven Great Sects on the tenth day of the next month, and would not leave in advance like now. This is also why when the young man surnamed Li said the ghost head grass, but Cheng Fuhai acted like he didn't know anything, in fact, at that time, Cheng Fuhai had already thought of the first move, but he didn't want to startle the snake. Yuwen is a good gambler, and makes money by selling news, if it is really as Jiang Shun said, he will definitely sell the news to those powerful people who have poison in his body when he leaves Youyun Villa, and then Youyun Villa will become a focus place, which will attract more people with poison in his body to go to Youyun Villa. And our way to the swamp of death will be much less obstructive and safer.

Expecting things like gods, surprises, taking precautions, one link is closely linked to another, Cheng Fuhai's scheming is effective in the long run, and it is amazing to think about it.

I smiled and said, "I've never been to Yazhou, but I just heard about it and wanted to see the style of Yazhou." ”

Su Qingyao is very talkative, he sat in the same carriage with me, and he chatted with me non-stop these days, he had been to Yazhou to play, and he also told me a lot of Yazhou's folk customs and products.

Yazhou is located at the western edge of Chengdu Prefecture, east of Chengdu Prefecture, south of the Great River, west of the Tubo River, known as the "throat of the Western Regions", it is precisely because of the border between Yazhou and Tubo, Yazhou has the Great Song Dynasty heavy guard. The people of Yazhou are fierce and rich, rich in black tea and Zhougong fish. The black tea of Yazhou is famous all over the world, produced from the top of the mountain, different from the ordinary tea, this kind of black tea is of superior quality, has the miraculous effect of health preservation after drinking, has the reputation of "the first tea in the world", is loved by the locals and the neighboring tribes, businessmen from all over the country come to Yazhou to do business, and most of them come to this black tea, this black tea will even be used as a tribute to the Song Dynasty.

I've never been interested in tea, but I'm a little interested in what Su Qingyao said about Zhou Gongyu. There is a Zhougong River in Yazhou, and the Zhougong fish is produced in the Zhougong River. I heard Su Qingyao say that Zhou Gongyu is like a carp and its scales are as thin as trout, with a fat body and delicate meat, and it will also be used as a tribute to the imperial court every year. However, this kind of Zhougong fish can not be delayed for too long when leaving the Zhougong River, even if it is put into a wooden barrel containing water, it will die soon, only the water of the Zhougong River can make it survive, and it will be sent to the palace with a fast horse when paying tribute to the imperial court every year, and the fish will die and the meat will become later, let alone eat.

When Su Qingyao told me about this Zhou Gong fish, I was amazed, the first time I heard that there was such a strange fish, and if it left the Zhou Gong River, it would die, and I secretly said in my heart that if I had the opportunity to stay in Yazhou for a few days, I would often smell the Zhou Gong fish.

At this time, Jiang Shun, who had been napping in the carriage, opened his eyes, rolled his eyes, and suddenly smiled: "Yazhou is good, there are many beauties in Yazhou, and there are many delicacies, tsk, so to speak, I haven't eaten that week's male fish for more than ten years." ”

Su Qingyao said with a smile: "Brother Jiang, what's so difficult about eating Zhou Gong fish, Su Mou will go and talk to the owner of the village, I will stay in Yazhou tonight, I have been eating some wild game in the mountains these days, I have long been annoyed, I don't have a good time to enjoy it at this time, I am afraid that there will be no good opportunity to turn over the river." ”

Jiang Shun was already lying in the carriage, he was not tall, but the carriage was so big, and it took up a lot of land when he lay down alone, so Su Qingyao and I had to sit at the door of the carriage. saw him Erlang's legs, looked at Su Qingyao with small eyes, and said with a smile: "That's the best, you go and talk to Cheng Fuhai, if you want to come here for a while, you will soon arrive in Nayazhou City." ”

Su Qingyao answered, lifted the curtain, and the person jumped out. The carriage was already in the middle of the journey, and our carriage was two feet away from Cheng Fuhai's carriage in front, but I saw Su Qingyao jumping to a horse on the left, stepping on the horse's back and walking a few steps, and suddenly flew up high, took a few steps in the air, and landed on the roof of Cheng Fuhai's carriage.

Su Qingyao's hand is simple and neat, but I secretly applauded, he stepped on the horse's back and seemed to be sturdy, but the horse didn't know that someone had stepped on its back. I was still holding the curtain of the car with one hand and looking at Su Qingyao, and Jiang Shun behind me suddenly smiled and said: "This Su Qingyao is really stupid, how can Cheng Fuhai stay in Yazhou, if you want to stay, you will go out of Yazhou, and stay in the wild mountains, hehe." ”

I turned my head to look at Jiang Shun, who was lying in the carriage, Rao is I have gotten along very well with him in the past few days, but I still can't accept the fact that he is the Golden Flower Thief. When Su Qingyao told me Jiang Shun's identity, it really surprised me a lot, I thought that Jiang Shun could be friends with Cheng Fuhai and the Central Plains, and he must have a great background, and it is not easy to be a brother and sister with someone like Cheng Fuhai. In fact, Jiang Shun's origin is indeed not simple, but his appearance is far from the appearance of the Golden Flower Thief I imagined in my heart, no matter how I look at it, he doesn't look like a "big thief", but like a roe deer thief.

Su Qingyao leaned over and said something on Cheng Fuhai's carriage, and then jumped back from the roof of Cheng Fuhai's carriage, this time he didn't make much effort, just stretched out so lightly, and was floating beside the coachman.

After entering the carriage, Jiang Shun smiled and said, "What did Cheng Fuhai say?"

Su Qingyao sneered: "The owner said that he was going to go to the Black Wind Ridge this time, so he asked us to be careful." ”

Jiang Shun said: "Didn't you tell Cheng Fuhai about Zhou Gongyu?"

"This ......"

Su Qingyao fell silent for a while, and his face turned red with a smile. I was happy in my heart, he didn't tell Cheng Fuhai about Zhou Gongyu, but he looked like he was reprimanded by Cheng Fuhai, and he was embarrassed to open his mouth. Although the appearance of this Jiang Shun is far from what I thought in my heart, this person is very interesting, these days are either to make fun of Su Qingyao, or to make fun of me, the road to the Swamp of Death is still very long, there is such an old urchin here, but it is not boring.

Jiang Shun laughed out loud, I diverted the conversation, couldn't help laughing, and said, "Senior Su, what is the place of Heifengling?"

Su Qingyao smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a good place, Heifengling is located in the territory of Tubo, and it is occupied by a group of bandits all the year round, but because the tribes in Tubo are scattered like sand, it is a chaotic place that no one cares about. ”

After a year of darts, I have encountered a lot of bandits, and there have been more than a dozen bandits who have died in my hands. can make Cheng Fuhai be careful, I don't know what skills this bandit from the Black Wind Ridge has.

I said, "Are those bandits very powerful?"

Su Qingyao said: "I've never seen that person with kung fu in his hands, but there are many people, and most of them are people from Fanbang." ”

I want to ask something more, but there is nothing to ask if I think about it, whether it is a bandit in the Great Song Dynasty or a bandit in Tibet, aren't they all bandits?

Nothing special.

Near noon, we left Yazhou and came to the territory of Tibet. The road in Tubo is not easy to walk, potholes, winding and rugged, it cannot be compared with the official road of the Central Plains at all, and even the mountain road in the Great Song Dynasty is much better than the road we took at this time.

After rounding a few hills and walking forward again, the speed of the carriage slowed down, but the coachman on the carriage could be heard whispering: "Senior Jiang, Heifeng Ridge is about to arrive." ”

"Got it. ”

I lifted the curtain again and looked around.

At this time, the sky had darkened, and the originally gloomy sky seemed to be even more gloomy, and the carriage walked on a very narrow and uneven road, and after not taking a few steps, it would jolt from side to side. The shadows of the trees on both sides of the path were swaying from side to side with the small wind, and through the gaps in the shadows of the trees, I saw the shadows of the mountains looming in the distance. There are those who are far away, and there are those who are near. (To be continued.) )
