Chapter 21: The City of the North Is Not a City!
In the evening, Hua Luo woke up from his coma, and the sound of busy noise could be heard on both sides.
The left and right eyes swept over, the lights were bustling, and it seemed that they had entered the city.
"Brother Hua, are you awake?!" Zhang Haoshan, who was sitting on the side of the carriage, was the first to find out, and helped Hua Luo to get up and change his posture.
Hua Luo felt very weak, and after entering the city, he felt a little relieved, looked around, and asked, "Did Wang Biao run away?"
"Well, I ran away. Zhang Haoshan sighed and blamed himself, "It's all because I'm useless......"
"Brother Zhang doesn't have to blame himself. Warlock knew that he also had an inescapable responsibility, and he was aware of what was happening in the outside world at the time. It's just that he fell into the mysterious realm and couldn't extricate himself, so he let Wang Biao break free from the shackles and held Qu Yi'er hostage.
"Qu Yi'er is okay?" Hua Luo cared about this naughty little girl very much.
"Well, it's okay, I've woken up a long time ago. Zhang Haoshan took out the water bladder and handed it to Hua Luo
"Brother, drink saliva, I'm afraid this incident will cause some psychological shadows to her. ”
Hua Luo nodded and did not reply, there will definitely be shadows, she was just curious about the darts, but she didn't think about the danger on the road, and it was even more dangerous to encounter mountain bandits.
Why didn't he be, at first he was just curious, but then he was forced to cultivate in order to survive, how could he have thought about what these thaumaturgical magic methods could do.
Now Hua Luo is thinking about whether to worship the likes of some sect and learn some martial arts and spells.
Thinking about it, the dart car drove into a Xianya courtyard, and there were already people waiting here, and when they saw the dart car coming, they hurriedly greeted it.
"Thank you Qu Darthead, nothing happened along the way, right?"
Greeted an old man with white temples and saluted Qu Qingsong in the car.
Qu Qingsong slowly approached the old man with the support of his daughter, and returned the salute with a fist, "Thanks to the old housekeeper's concern, I met a bandit on the road, but fortunately I was not dishonored, and the goods were intact." ”
"Met a mountain bandit?" the old man nervously held Qu Qingsong and asked with concern, "Ah, is there a big problem with Qu Dart's head?"
"Hey~ I went to a brother, it's true that I'm incompetent!"
"Life and death are in their own destiny, and there is no need to blame yourself too much. ”
The two sighed, handed over the goods, and Qu Qingsong took a group of people back to the rented place in the city in advance.
Walked to a remote alley with few people, and stopped the carriage in the small courtyard. Several seriously injured dart riders got off the bus along the way and went to the hospital to find a doctor, and Qu Qingsong arranged Hua Luo to a better single house. He had something to say to Hua Luo alone.
"Hua Xiaoyou, please take a seat!" Qu Qingsong sent a seat to Hua Luo, sat on the side, and saw that his daughter had been following him, and said softly, "Yi'er, Dad has something to talk to Hua Xiaoyou about alone." ”
Qu Yi'er understood what he meant, and immediately exited the door and closed the door.
"Little friend, please accept Qu Mou's worship!" Qu Qingsong said and was about to kneel down, but Hua Luo immediately stepped forward to stop him.
"What does this mean?"
"If it weren't for Xiaoyou's many rescues, there would be no Qingsong Dart Game in this world, and there would be no more my father and daughter. When it came to deep feelings, this strong man actually shed tears.
Hua Luo didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only comfort him one by one, explaining, "It happened suddenly, and as a member of the dart game, I can't stand by and watch!"
"Hua Xiaoyou is righteous and strong in martial arts. Speaking of this, Qu Qing paused for a moment, hesitated a little, gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I'm old, and the dart game is unattended, if the little friend doesn't dislike it, I have plans to marry the little girl to you. ”
Hua Luo was shocked when he heard this, whether the people here are open or conservative, but they are just pulling out their swords to help, and he himself works in the dart bureau, giving the dart game to himself, and promising his teenage daughter is too exaggerated.
"But!" Hua Luo wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but Qu Qingsong continued.
"After thinking about it, Hua Xiaoyou should be a disciple of the sect, he must not look down on my poor dart game, if the little girl is promised to you, then my Qu is really too high to climb himself!"
Hua Luo was more and more confused by him, but after thinking about it, he could guess that this Qu Qingsong suspected that he was a disciple of a certain sect, otherwise this martial arts was a bit too strong. I'm afraid that I have a weird personality, and I have other plans to join the dart game.
Afraid that he would like his daughter, and then forcibly take her away? This old man is too imaginative, and he is now quick to explain.
"The dart head misunderstood, I'm just an ordinary person, I've practiced martial arts for a few years, how can I be a disciple in that sect. ”
"Being in the dart game, I naturally have to protect the interests of the dart game, and don't worry too much about the dart head. Your kindness, Hua Mou's heart understands, the purpose of my joining the dart game is just to exercise, and I have no other intentions!"
"The heart of an old man and a villain is a gentleman, and he is ashamed ......"
Hua Luo interrupted him and thought about it, this Qu Qingsong has been walking darts for many years and is well-informed, so it is better to ask more things, which will be more beneficial to him in the future
"Qu dart head, I want to ask a few more questions!"
"Little friend, please speak, I know everything in the next, and I have no end to it!" Qu Qingsong was a little relieved, although Hua Luo didn't understand, but he also understood the meaning, seeing that he had a question to ask, he was also serious at the moment.
"How far is Northland from here?"
"Hey~ Hua Xiaoyou, do you have to go to the north?" Qu Qingsong took a deep breath and was slightly surprised.
"What's wrong?" Hua Luo looked at Qu Qingsong's eyebrows, which was extremely similar to Lin Jiayi's reaction that day, and couldn't help asking.
Qu Qingsong sorted out the words, recalled them, and started from the source, "I don't know where Xiaoyou heard about Northern City. ”
"But Northland isn't just a city!"
"Could it be a country?" Hua Luo couldn't figure out what he meant.
On the map given by Lin Jiayi, the northern border is full of mountains. So this northern city has a name, not a city, but a country?
"The northern territory is vast, but the resources are extremely scarce, and the mountains are covered by ice and snow all year round, and only some local Tu people are stationed to live, and over time they have evolved into tribal groups. This is the North!"
After listening to Qu Qingsong's description, Hua Luo knew that this northern city was not a city.
But all the cities in the north, even the villages, are called by this name. I didn't ask clearly, and I subconsciously misled myself.
"Then is there a caravan to the north in this city we are in, and how long will it take?"
"If it was a year ago, although the northern border was cold and dangerous, there were still caravans passing, and if it was a trip from this city, it would take about half a month. But....... Qu Qingsong took out a leather scroll map from his bosom, spread it out, and pointed to the place with a red circle on it.
"After the year, all of our dart offices and caravans received news that the northern border had changed and was suspended, and the opening hours were not announced. So there are no caravans left to the north. ”
Hua Luo looked carefully at Qu Qingsong's leather scroll map, and the various roads, mountains and rivers were many times clearer than his part. Roads, rivers, and village forces are specially marked.
The large area of mountains directly above is the northern border, but the road to the northern border is painted with red circles and crosseds, and it seems that his hope of going to the north alone to find clues has been dashed.
He looked at most of the blank in the middle of the map, only the uneven marks of the three mountains, and asked curiously, "What kind of place is this, all mountains and rivers?"
"This is where the clan is located, and our map is printed and sold by one of the sects, so we ordinary people can't know what's there. ”
Hua Luo thought of the three mountains that Zhang Xingde had told him at the beginning, and what was hidden in this picture was hidden, maybe it was that these cultivators could come and go freely......
No! Hua Luo's mind was mixed together, and for a moment he thought of a very important question. Thought of it!
The road was closed a few years ago, and now it's summer.
At the beginning, Fan Zhenchuan said that he had obtained parts fragments in the caravan, and it would take half a month for the caravan to go, but from his appearance to the present, it was less than ten days, and this was still counting the number of days since he came out of Shaoshan Country, this order is no problem, but the time difference is too big.
That Fan Zhenchuan deceived himself? Impossible, what's the point of lying to himself under the circumstances.
Then this thing probably wasn't obtained in the North!
Looking for clues from the caravan and the north by yourself is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack!
Do you want to get any clues from those sects?
