In the north in April, the weather has warmed up a bit. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As it approached noon, there were more and more pedestrians on the road. From a distance, on the avenue at the edge of the forest sea, there was already a long caravan rushing to one of the more important transportation hubs in the north of the empire, the Jiming Station.

Jiming Station is named because it is backed by Jiming Mountain. Jiming Mountain, "Water Jing Note" said that Zhao Xiangzi killed the king in the summer house and his soil, and Xiangzi welcomed his son in the generation. The wife of his son, so far, said, the generation has died, I will return, so I grind in the mountain and commit suicide. Generations of people pity it, for the establishment of the ancestral hall, because the name of the place is the Molu Mountain, there are pheasants crowing on the ancestral house every night, so it is also called the chicken song mountain. There is a village at the foot of Jiming Mountain, originally called Jiming Village, which is a smaller village in the north, but since the establishment of the empire, in order to strengthen the control of foreign tribes and foreign trade, a special post station has been set up in Jiming Village to transfer materials, and it has developed.

"Rustle-" The grass flickered, and a man leaped out of it.

When he stood still and looked at it again, this person was holding a long stick wrapped in black cloth, and behind him was a rough wooden box and carry-on luggage of more than four feet, about fifteen or sixteen years old, more than eight feet long, with eyes like stars, face like a crown of jade, with a hearty smile on the corner of his mouth, just looking at his appearance is also a handsome man who is rare in the world, but this obviously good-looking face is covered by a tattered fur hat, but the person concerned really doesn't care. Still looking with his own fiery eyes at the caravan slowly passing through the avenue down the hillside.

This person is He Xun who walked out of the forest for the first time.

After looking at the caravan a few feet down, He Xun calmed down his extremely excited heart a little, and with a single step, a few somersaults landed firmly on the avenue.

The sudden fall of foreign objects from the sky made some waves in the caravan, but when the others saw that this "foreign object was a young man wrapped in leather goods, their hearts naturally let go of a little, isn't this just a visitor outside the customs, and there are few people on this road?"

He Xun also seemed to feel the gaze of the people around him, and hurriedly scratched his head and returned an apologetic smile.

The caravan also nodded kindly, which was regarded as a response.

Supporting the wooden box behind him, He Xun slowly followed the caravan and moved towards his first goal, the Chicken Song. According to what the old man of the Divine Monarch said, he and the Sword Emperor were waiting for him at the inn of the Jiming Station first, and he only needed to arrive safely.

He Xun doesn't care, he has been with the two of them for several months, and the Divine Monarch will force himself to fight with him every day, and He Xun, who will be defeated at the beginning, will be defeated by the time he leaves the wooden house, he can already take the Divine Monarch five moves before he is exhausted, which is already a great improvement. But the Divine Monarch still took the trouble to taunt every time, and he still didn't seem to be satisfied.

But He Xun didn't care, and after shrugging his shoulders, he went to prepare for food, his mind was not on that martial arts at all, "I don't fight with people, what's the use of learning so much?"

Every time he used this sentence to refute the old man of the Divine Monarch, he would make him blow his beard angrily and stare at him.

Although April is not very hot, the temperature in the middle of the day is a little unbearable for those who are on the road. The speed of the caravan gradually slowed down, He Xun still had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and hurried slowly, looking at the seemingly slow pace, but it did not reduce the original speed at all. Maybe it was because he felt that the speed of the caravan had slowed down, He Xun was still quite satisfied with the "breathing method" taught by the Divine Monarch, Lin Hai was not something that ordinary people could cross casually, among them, there were dangerous roads, and there were many poisonous snakes and beasts, and it was not easy to get out safely.

Even if it was such a light skill as He Xun, it took ten days.

In the past ten days, in addition to the necessary rest and eating, there has been no delay, which can be imagined how big Lin Hai is.

After advancing for another half an hour, looking from a distance, the chicken song station under the mountain was completely displayed in front of He Xun's eyes. This big town with quaint city walls really made He Xun ecstatic. I couldn't help but speed up my feet.

"This ...... Is it the city rooster station?" Standing at the beginning of the city gate of the rooster station, He Xun looked up. The blue brick wall, the rammed loess city wall, completely attracted him, the city wall as high as two zhang, and there were guards wearing battle armor at the beginning of the battlement. Shine in the sun of the Northlands.

Entering the city, there are more and more pedestrians, and I want to be a different scene here than in the town where I went to sell before. Walking among them, He Xun suddenly remembered the agreement with the two old men, and when he asked where the largest restaurant in the city was, He Xun hurried forward.

"Sihai Building?" The huge restaurant stood on the street, softly reading the three big characters on the golden signboard, and He Xun confirmed that this was the agreed place, and then went upstairs.

The runner came to say hello. He Xun said: "Little brother, are there two old people here, both with white hair and white beards, they said to wait for me here." ”

As soon as he heard He Xun's description, Xiao Er's face suddenly changed with joy and said: "Yes, there were indeed two old men mentioned by the guest officer a few days ago, but yesterday they left ......."

"Gone?" He Xun was shocked.

After a lot of hard work, they came here after trekking through mountains and rivers, and the two of them left first?

Seeing He Xun's embarrassed expression, Xiao Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, although the two big high-rollers left, there are indeed items left for the guest officer, and they will be stored with the shopkeeper at this time." "Randomly raise your hand to the counter," the guest officer can go and retrieve it. ”

He Xun nodded in thanks.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, is there anything left by others here?" He Xun was afraid that the shopkeeper would not believe it, and said: "The two old men left it to me." “

The shopkeeper stopped the abacus in his hand, looked He Xun up and down, and said, "When the guest officer leaves, can he have a certificate from the two old people?"

He Xunming took out a black gold dagger made of animal skin as a sheath from his arms, and gently placed it on the counter, the shopkeeper picked up the dagger, and looked out of the body.

Returning the dagger, the shopkeeper also confirmed He Xun's identity, and then took out a one-foot-long wooden box in the iron box behind him, and said: "This is what the two old men left for the guest officer, in addition, they also opened a room for the guest officer for a month, and the guest officer does not have to pay for all the expenses in the small shop." ”

"Oh?" He Xun was a little surprised.

Seeing He Xun's reaction, the shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "The guest officer doesn't have to doubt that the villain opens a shop in this Jimingyi to do business, which is a sincere word first, if there is no sincerity, then it is better to close the door!"

Seeing that the shopkeeper had some misunderstandings, He Xun hurriedly explained: "The shopkeeper misunderstood, where can the kid not trust the shopkeeper, but he is just a little surprised." ”

He Xun turned his head and glanced at the hall, this matter was the time for dinner, and the largest restaurant in this chicken song post was naturally more prosperous, and he chatted with the shopkeeper for a few words, and there were no seats on the side.

"Shopkeeper, can you bring food into the room?"

"That's fine. The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, and said loudly to Xiao Er in the distance: "Little San, take this guest to the upper room!"

"Hey!" The little brother named Xiao San immediately ran over, wanting to tell the result of the long box on He Xun's body, but He Xun stopped him. Xiao Er didn't say much, and immediately stopped reaching out to help, obviously already understanding.

Sometimes the rules in the rivers and lakes really don't need to be said.

After entering the guest room, He Xun unloaded his luggage, and in order to wait for He Xun to say something, Xiao San beckoned the kitchen to send a pot of wine, with four-color wine dishes and a few steamed buns. That's when I took my leave.

He Xun was sitting at the table, pouring himself a drink, and a lonely chill came up in the ground. For a few months, although the two elders got along with each other noisily, they made themselves feel the joy of communicating with others. But he finally arrived at this chicken station, the second elder had already taken a step ahead, and He Xun, who had always felt that his light skills were quite good, felt his own shortcomings for the first time, "If I go faster, I may be able to catch up, right?"

After a few glasses of sake, He Xun remembered the wooden box left for him by the second elder, turned it out in the luggage, opened it gently, and there was a thick stack of silver tickets and two letters lying quietly inside. One was left by the Divine Monarch, and the other was left by the Sword Emperor.

He Xun picked up the letter and tore it gently.

"I see...... "He Xun has read the letter, the plan of the second elder. In general, there were only two points, and Shenjun left a silver ticket and the next few words of the "breathing method" and an address, and instructed He Xun to go to the address indicated in the letter, and naturally someone would pick him up. The letter left by the Sword Emperor was more troublesome, and it instructed that the items in the wooden box that He Xun brought should be disposed of as he saw fit at the time He Xun saw fit, which was also the result of his discussion with the Divine Monarch.

"Let me do the disposal...... ......" He Xun put down the letter and couldn't help but look at the wooden box that he had personally recited out of Lin Hai.

Nothing was said all night.

The morning in the north still came early, sitting cross-legged on the bed and continuing to learn the "breathing method", and the miss of the two of them made He Xun have an urge in his heart to work hard.

It's nearly noon again. He Xun also felt a little hungry. He got up and went downstairs. It's bustling downstairs again, and it's about to be at its busiest.

Seeing He Xun going downstairs, Xiao San hurriedly greeted him. "The guest officer wants to eat?"

He Xun nodded, and then was greeted by Xiao San into a window seat, and asked for a few small dishes casually, and the pedestrians outside the building ate alone.

Just when He Xun was drinking alone, there was a brisk sound of horses' hooves in the distance on the street, and in a blink of an eye they arrived in front of the restaurant, "call ......" a sound of horses, and in curiosity, the two turned over and dismounted, and had entered the restaurant.

He Xun saw the young man, a man and a woman, all of whom were about the same age as himself, the man's long hair fluttered and he was wearing an emerald green robe inlaid with gold edges, with a piece of jasper hanging from his waist, and a long sword behind his back, his appearance was extraordinary, and the most eye-catching thing was the woman next to the young man, who was about a little younger than the people who traveled with him, with a handsome and unusually handsome face with seven points of coquettishness, two points of chuckle and a trace of arrogance. Maybe I'm proud of my beauty. And the body is also wearing an emerald green women's dress, the only difference is that compared with the man, there is no gold trim, which shows that the woman's status is lower than that of the man.

The entry of the two made the atmosphere in the restaurant fluctuate slightly. I can't tell if it's because of the woman's appearance or because of the clothes of the two.

The reason is very simple, the two of them are walking together, the clothes are obviously from the same sect, and judging by everyone's reaction, these two must have some background.

When the junior ran the hall saw the visitor, he immediately greeted him.

The man looked around the hall of the restaurant and saw that there was no place to sit, so he said a few words to the woman next to him, and the woman flattened her mouth, obviously unhappy.

The young man shook his head and glanced again, his gaze fixed on He Xun.

He Xun also noticed that the young man was looking at him, so he went back to look at the other party.

I saw the young man walking a few steps towards He Xun, came to the table, hugged his fists, and said, "Brother, there is no empty seat in the restaurant, the younger brother wants to borrow a seat, I don't know if it's possible?"

"Huh?" Seeing the young man clenching his fist at him, He Xun returned a salute and said, "Convenience with others is convenience with yourself, you're welcome, please sit!"

The young man smiled, beckoned to the woman at the door, and said, "Thank you, the younger brother will definitely give him a cup to show his gratitude!"

He Xun smiled: "Brother Tai is polite, let's have a drink first!"

Taking the two of them to their seats, the young man hugged his fists again and said, "Little brother, surnamed Ling Mingyan, dare to ask the name of Brother Tai?"

"How can you call the name, in Shimoga Xun!"
