Jiuquan, governing Fulu City, under the jurisdiction of nine counties. Located at the western end of the Hexi Corridor, between Altun Mountain, Qilian Mountain and Horsehair Mountain, it has been the transportation fortress of the Central Plains to the Western Regions since ancient times, and is named after "there is a golden spring under the city, and its water is like wine".

Liu Suifeng and Li Chengyuan led the horses into Fulu City, and Li Chengyuan excitedly waved behind him: "Master, master...... Uncle Shi, come quickly!"

Li Chengyuan swallowed the word "Shi Niang" back into his stomach, which caused Liu Suifeng to laugh on the side.

Xiao Qianli and Lu Wuyi came slowly with their horses, both of them were dressed in tight-fitting Confucian robes, the male was handsome, and the female was beautiful, each carrying a long sword, and they didn't know how many eyeballs they attracted along the way.

For a long time, it was Xiao Qianli who went out to expand his territory, and Lu Wuyi sat in the Pure Yang Palace. This time down the mountain, Xiao Qianli deliberately brought Lu Wuni, although this pretty junior sister didn't say much, but it was difficult to hide the excitement in her eyes.

Since Lu Wuyi went up the mountain, he rarely went far except to buy in the nearby Taiping Town. At this time, when I saw such a lively and prosperous Fulu City, I was already dazzled, and I felt very fresh when I saw everything. At this time, he heard Li Chengyuan calling, so he turned his head to look.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Lu Wuxian couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw a large group of people gathered in the open space not far away.

"It seems to be a monkey, right?" Xiao Qianli glanced at it a few times and replied casually.

"Senior brother, I'm going to take a look!"

Lu Wuyi couldn't help but say, and stuffed the reins of the horse into Xiao Qianli's hand, and Li Chengyuan also handed the reins to Liu Suifeng, and the two squeezed into the crowd together. At a glance, I saw an old man in the crowd, playing the leather whip in his hand crackling, a few clever little monkeys from time to time to turn a few heels, play a few routines, and a little monkey in a flower dress held a small gong in his hand, and was banging the bell.

The climate in the northwestern counties is cold, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and there are very few monkeys. Therefore, as soon as this old man playing monkey play came, the strange people immediately surrounded him, and the applause and laughter were endless.

Lu Wuyi's face flushed excitedly, and he clapped his hands again and again, seeing that the little monkey in flower clothes flipped over the gong, and came over with the head to ask for a reward, and in a moment dozens of hundreds of copper plates were loaded, and even Lu Wuyi took out five big coins and put them in the gong.

In his previous life, Xiao Qianli didn't know how many more exciting and clever circuses he had seen, so he naturally didn't have much interest, so he led the horse to the side, and saw Liu Suifeng standing there quietly with two horses.

"With the wind, what are you thinking?"

Liu Suifeng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Master, Suifeng has lived here for more than ten years, and he has never seriously seen this Fulu City. Now that he has returned to his hometown, he has become a person and a person, and he has his own feelings. ”

Xiao Qianli said with a smile: "When the teacher taught you "Xuan Bing Gong" at that time, did you ever think that you would return to Jiuquan in this way today?"

For the joke of the teacher, Liu Suifeng could only smile a little shyly, Xiao Qianli smiled and said: "Always check the first in the leisure, overdo the self-thinning, think when moving, pre-operate in the quiet, and calm your mind!"

Liu chewed a few words carefully with the wind, but saw Uncle Lu come out of the crowd, and slowly walked side by side with the master holding the horse, and was just about to follow, but he heard a gentle voice ask: "Little friend, be polite!"

Liu Suifeng turned his head to look, but saw a tall and handsome man holding a white horse not far away, asking him questions.

The man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in a yellow shirt, with eyes like stars and sword eyebrows on his sideburns. The placket, belt, cuffs, and epaulettes are all covered with gold, silver and jade, which is extremely luxurious. Although he is rich, he does not look vulgar, but even more stylish.

Liu Suifeng glanced at him a few times, his eyes fell on the two long swords behind him, one large and one small, and he couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, this light sword is just that, the heavy sword is long and big, I am afraid that it will weigh no less than thirty or forty pounds, how can this person wield it with one hand?

"Light and heavy double swords, this person's swordsmanship must be both rigid and soft, sometimes lifting as light as light, sometimes lifting lightly as heavy, if I fight with him, I am afraid that I will be caught off guard...... In the Northwest Land, there are still such good hands in Qimen swordsmanship?"

Seeing Liu Suifeng's appearance clearly, the young man was also slightly stagnant, only to feel that the young man in front of him contained essence in his eyes, and his gestures seemed to have an extremely mysterious trajectory, and between exhaling and inhaling, it seemed that the air currents around him were slowly rotating around him.

"This person's skill doesn't seem to be too high, but the aura around him vaguely echoes the heavens and the earth, and it seems that his cultivation realm is far beyond my imagination...... I don't know which family and faction this young man came from, and he has such ability?"

The two of them secretly guessed, and at that moment, Liu Suifeng performed a Taoist peer salute and replied: "It's polite, I don't know what to do?"

The man in yellow was only slightly stunned, then returned to normal, and asked politely: "Seeing that Xiaoyou is carrying a long sword, he must also be a person in the martial arts, dare to ask where the Northern Army of Dayan Town is stationed now?"

"Zhenbei Army?" Liu replied with a slight hesitation in the wind, "As far as I know, the Zhenbei Army is stationed in four routes, and they are stationed in Jiuquan, Hetao, Huaiyuan, and Suzhou, I don't know which way Your Excellency is looking for?"

The man in yellow was stunned and said in surprise: "The Zhenbei Army has dragged the battle line for so long? I have never heard of this......

Liu Suifeng said with a smile: "The Zhenbei Army not only guards the Beidi Fortress in four ways, but also has a number of military branches under its command, such as Longwu, Changsheng, and Tayan. ”

The man in yellow smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you Xiaoyou!"

Liu Suifeng kindly reminded: "If you want to find someone, you might as well go to Jiayu Plateau, which is seventy miles west of this place, to investigate, where some of the elites in the north of the town are stationed, or there may be some clues. ”

The man in yellow thanked him again, led the white horse and walked westward, the white horse caught a glimpse of the horse in Liu Suifeng's hand, and at first looked at it suspiciously, then spit and snorted, his front hooves froze, and he refused to take a step.

"Sa Lu, don't be petty!" The man in yellow patted Bai Ma's head affectionately, reached out and rubbed it in his long mane, and comforted, "We'll go find an inn to rest in a while, and I promise to let you eat good alfalfa today." ”

Coaxed and pulled by the master, the white horse started unwillingly, and looked back from time to time, as if he had seen something.

It's a pity that the young man in yellow was so worried that he didn't notice the strangeness of his horse, but lowered his head and slowly walked past Liu Suifeng.

Liu Suifeng watched him gradually walk out more than ten zhang away, and suddenly someone was patted on the shoulder, turned his head and smiled: "Third junior brother, you are leisurely." Uncle Lu has already come out, but you have been watching it for so long. ”

Li Chengyuan smiled and said, "It's rare to see strange, senior brother, what are you doing here?"

Liu Suifeng replied with a smile: "Someone just asked about the Zhenbei Army, and I instructed him to go to Jiayu! Third junior brother, didn't you also serve in the Zhenbei Army?"

As soon as he heard this, Li Chengyuan suddenly became interested, and said with a smile: "I was an elite scout of the Zhenbei Army's Tayan Cavalry, if I hadn't been ambushed, the team would have been almost wiped out, maybe I would still be under the command of the Zhenbei Army." ”

It was the first time that Liu Suifeng heard Li Chengyuan mention the matter of Zhongfu, and he couldn't help but ask with great interest: "Zhongfu? What's going on? Doesn't it mean that the border war has not been prosperous in recent years?"

"Hey, where is such a good thing?" Li Chengyuan shook his head and said, "The interior is full of singing and dancing, how do you know how many northern nomads the Zhenbei army has repelled outside the pass? Although there are no large-scale wars, small-scale conflicts have to come back several times every month. In addition to a few border generals, the Zhenbei Army also does not know how many waves of soldiers who died in battle...... Didn't Xiaopi's parents die in the army?"

He sighed softly and said: "When I was stationed in Huaiyuan, I saw that the cold winter was coming, and the nomadic cavalry was plundering, which was really unbearable. Therefore, the border guards will set up a pocket formation to lure the enemy into an ambush, hoping that the battle will be settled. But unexpectedly, the information was wrong, and we waited for more than 800 soldiers and horses, but they were bitten and killed by the opponent's 4,000 light cavalry, and under the hard fighting, the 800 elites almost died cleanly......"

Liu Suifeng couldn't help but let out an "ah" and asked, "What about the enemy?"

Li Chengyuan spread his hands, shook his head and said: "I don't know, in short, they should have suffered a big loss, what happened later, I don't know." ”

Liu Suifeng also vaguely knew some of the connections between Li Chengyuan and the Kongtong faction, so he nodded silently at the moment and stopped asking.

Li Chengyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother, did you say that someone asked about the Zhenbei Army?"

Liu Suifeng turned his head to look at the direction where the young man in yellow left, and saw that the two had just talked a few words, and the young man had already disappeared, so he nodded and said, "Yes, who knows what he is looking for the Zhenbei Army? ”

Reminded by Liu Suifeng's words, Li Chengyuan took the reins of Qingying and said with a smile: "That's what I said, let's hurry up and chase the master!"

At this time, Xiao Qianli encountered a little trouble.

It is also very simple, and it is even more extremely bloody - because the naturally beautiful junior sister Lu Wuyi was entangled by several people.

Originally, Xiao Qianli could send the other party away in seventeen or eighteen ways, but he stopped uncharacteristically.

Because among those few people looking for trouble, he accidentally found a familiar face - the second brother of Jiuquan Liufu, the second brother of Liu Suifeng, and Liu Suiyun, who should already be a waste.
