"What, you're going to the border?" exclaimed the Red Lady.

It's no wonder that the red lady was surprised, Li Mubai got up early in the morning, found her and said that she was going to the border, as for what to do, it is self-evident, at this time, it is estimated that the barbarians have begun to attack, and Li Mubai will inevitably be involved in the war.

"Shopkeeper, why are you making such a fuss?"

The red lady asked rhetorically, "Can I be blamed for this? Do you know that the border is very dangerous now?"

"I know. Li Mubai nodded, "It's because of this that I plan to go." ”

The red lady rolled her eyes and teased: "Is it for that Miss Du? You're worried after only one day?"

Li Mubai said generously: "I admit that there is a little reason for this, but more because I want to hone myself, where will there be so many opportunities to fight with so many masters." ”

"You unlucky boy, is martial arts more important or is your life more important? You are still very young now, and you have a lot of time to improve yourself, why should you get involved in such a dangerous thing?"

In the face of the Red Lady's painstaking persuasion, Li Mubai felt warm in his heart, but his thoughts remained the same: "The way of martial arts should be brave and diligent, when the sharpness is no longer sharp, it will be difficult to make rapid progress." ”

The red lady knew that he had made up his mind when she saw Li Mubai's expression, so she had to reluctantly agree: "It's okay to go, but you have to promise me, you must be careful, don't be impulsive, and put safety first." ”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I still cherish my little life. Li Mubai responded very happily.

So at breakfast, the red lady announced: "Xiaobai is leaving the inn today to hone his martial arts at the border, so the burden on your shoulders will be heavier, and of course, Xiaobai's salary will be shared equally with you." ”

For the "generosity" of the red lady, everyone was indifferent, and all focused their attention on Li Mubai.

Tang Liuxiang looked surprised, he wondered: "Xiaobai, why did you suddenly think of going to the border? If you hadn't been able to join the people of the Cangyue Sword Sect earlier, how good it would have been to take care of each other." ”

"Don't you understand this? It must be that Miss Du is gone, Xiaobai misses it tightly, so ...... Ahh

The monkey shook his head slowly, signaling Murong Qing's direction with his eyes.

Only then did Thursday react, laughing a few times, and not caring about the monkey stepping on his feet.

As expected, Murong Qing said, "I'm going with you too." ”

Li Mubai had the heart to refuse, but under Murong Qing's pleading eyes, he could only retreat in defeat and agreed.

"I'm going too!" Huo Xian'er also shouted.

Li Mubai: "No!"

Tang Liuxiang: "No!"

Red Lady: "No!"

"Why?" Seeing that everyone was opposed, Huo Xian'er felt aggrieved, when Murong Qing said that she was going to go just now, no one objected, and it was her turn to oppose so many people.

Li Mubai took the lead and said: "I'm not going to play, it's very dangerous, how can I have the energy to take care of you!"

"I don't need you to take care of me, I can do it myself. ”

"That's even worse. Tang Liuxiang objected, "If Xiaobai takes care of us, we can rest assured, just you alone, we are even more worried, you haven't even been out of the house a few times, let alone involved in the war." ”

"Then why did she go?" Huo Xian'er pointed at Murong Qing and said angrily.

The red lady explained: "First of all, people are guests, we have no right to care, and secondly, Xiaobai will take care of her, and then another family is ranked ninth on the star list, why do you say?"

Huo Xian'er was powerless to resist, so she could only stop and accept the reality.

"When are you leaving?" asked the monkey.

"I'll leave when I'm done eating, and if I'm fast enough, I'll be there tonight." ”

......

After bidding farewell to everyone in the inn, Li Mubai and Murong Qing embarked on the trip.

"Where exactly are we going?" Murong Qing rode on the horse, feeling the rapid retreat of the road, and the wind blowing her hair, she couldn't help but feel very comfortable.

Li Mubai glanced sideways at her: "You don't even know where I'm going, you have to follow." ”

"As I said, I'll go wherever you go!"

Although Murong Qing's voice was soft, it slammed heavily into Li Mubai's heart.

"We are going to the Forbidden Pass located at the junction of Zhengzhou, Kongzhou and Southern Wilderness, because the rest of the border is high mountains and mountains, and there are only a few places for the army to pass, and the Forbidden Pass is one of them, and the people of the Cangyue Sword Sect are going there. ”

Murong Qing was from the Ming Kingdom and had never been to the Chu Kingdom, but she had also heard some things about the barbarians, so she asked, "Where did those barbarians who usually plundered come from?

Although Li Mubai has not seen it with his own eyes, he has also heard of these: "Although there are high mountains and mountains to obstruct them, there are still some dangerous paths in some places that can only pass through one or two people, so those barbarians generally enter the territory of Chu from this kind of path, and if they go up the mountain, it is difficult to take away the materials they loot." ”

"I see. Murong Qing nodded, she didn't ask why she had to go to the forbidden pass, because the answer was obvious.

She didn't want Li Mubai to leave an image of herself jealous, but she secretly raised her vigilance, after all, Du Mingzhu knew Li Mubai before her, and judging from the conversation that night, Li Mubai was reluctant to accept them not because he didn't like them, but for other reasons, so what he said before was just friends with Du Mingzhu, of course, he couldn't take it seriously.

In the evening, the two of them finally reached the forbidden pass.

I can see the tall and majestic forbidden pass between the two high mountains from afar, the forbidden pass is as high as more than ten zhang, the whole body is made of mountain stones, there is a rough beauty. When I got closer, I could see that the stone was covered with mottled black-brown marks, which were made of blood.

Li Mubai came to the pass, looked up, and was a little shocked in his heart, this kind of Xiongguan as high as more than ten stories high, how rare it was in ancient times. Of course, this world may be better with the assistance of martial arts, and the reason why this level is so high is also because the enemy can also do martial arts. If it was only three or five zhang high, wouldn't it be that the enemy could easily capture it as long as he sent some troops with better light skills.

"Let's go, let's go in. Li Mubai greeted.

The soldiers guarding the gate stopped the two: "Stop, who are you?"

Li Mubai arched his hand and said, "I heard that the barbarian Koubian came to help. ”

The soldier's face softened slightly: "There is a war coming soon, you are here at the right time, and there are many martial arts people who have come to help recently, wait a minute, I will lead you over, do you have anyone who knows each other?"
