The horses on the ancient road of Chang'an were delayed, and the high willows were neighing.

This is not Chang'an, and summer has not yet arrived.

On the field of spring, the warm sun is shrouded, and the spring breeze blows through.

A horse-drawn carriage was walking alone.

This is a place that is thousands of miles away from the capital, and according to the more official statement, this place should already belong to the boundary of the barren state, and it is a desolate place near the border.

However, from the immediate point of view, there is no lack of life, the carriage walks on the field, the warm wind blows, and there is also some intoxicating smell.

It's just that there are really no people.

Except for this one carriage.

"I said, it's time to change people, right? I've been in the car for two days, so it's time to take a break, right?" The driver was a man who looked like a fool, he was so sunburned that he seemed to want to sleep a little, and he was bored and gently whipped the horse's butt with a whip, and he couldn't help but turn around and lift the curtain and walk towards the carriage.

"Brother Peng, I am willing to lose the bet, the last time you said that you only need ten breaths to solve those horse thieves, but it took twelve breaths, and if you lose, you have to give up the supply of wine for these three days, and you have to drive for three days, so it's not interesting to cheat. In response to him, there was a young man in the carriage, who was lifting the curtain of the car at this time, blowing the spring breeze and drinking a little wine, looking smoky, obviously not wanting to pay attention to the man who was driving the car outside.

"What kind of tricks? Obviously, are you cheating? Last time, if you hadn't restricted me and prevented me from catching up with them in time, I would have lost?" The man who was driving the car seemed to be angry when he heard the young man's words, "In this way, in fact, you are the one who loses, you fool!"

"Click-" Just then, there was a soft sound in the carriage.

A middle-aged man sitting at the back of the carriage with a somewhat vicissitudes of life put down the carving knife in his hand and gently blew on a wood carving that had been carved by him, blowing off the last wood chips, revealing the perfect face of the wood carving.

This is a statue of a woman, carved with a beautiful woman.

The woman's hands were slender and powerful, but her face was no longer young, and the corners of her eyes were full of wrinkles, but only those eyes were full of vitality as green as spring.

But he is so lonely, he doesn't do anything, just sitting there, he already makes people feel that he is lonely, lonely and isolated from the world.

The vitality of spring, and the loneliness of being isolated from the world, appear so strangely and harmoniously in a person's body.

It is really a strange thing in the world, and this person is also a strange person in the world.

But in fact, who is not a strange person in the world in this carriage?

So no one finds it strange, everyone is used to it, and even feels familiar.

Seeing that the lonely middle-aged man put down the carving knife and finished the carving, the man who was driving the carriage immediately took out another piece of fine pear blossom wood from the mezzanine of the carriage's loaded items, handed it over, and said with an extremely dogged smile: "Brother Li, give it." ”

The man called Brother Li smiled and nodded, but even if he laughed, he was so lonely, he took the wood and put the carved statue of the woman aside, and beside him, there were more than a dozen such statues in a staggered manner, but he didn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping.

Looking at the man who was driving the car, he still looked at the middle-aged man who refused to look back, and the young man who was leaning on the window of the car and drinking looked helpless, shook his hand vigorously in front of him and said, "Brother Peng, hurry up and catch the car, don't want to be lazy!"

"Got it, I want you to say it!" said the man who was driving the car angrily, pulled down the curtain of the car, and continued to catch the car.

The young man leaned back again, smiling.

This young man is none other than Gu Yue'an.

And the person who drove the car was Ding Peng.

As for the person who sat in the deepest part of the carriage and was concentrating on carving, Gu Yue'an glanced at that person, and once again had an extremely wonderful feeling in his heart.

It seems that now is not a warm sunny day blown by the spring breeze, but a winter day with heavy snowfall, the cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as a chopping board, and treating all living beings as fish and meat.

The next moment, they were about to meet a teenager with an iron piece around his waist.

Thinking about it, Gu Yuean couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it was really a romantic and unrealistic fantasy.

Just because there was an extremely romantic swordsman sitting next to him.

This swordsman's surname is Li, Li Bai's Li.

He used to be a high school jinshi, and he was named Tanhua in the palace exam, so others called him Li Tanhua.

His knife was fast, and those who had seen it were dead.

So others say that Xiao Li flies with knives, and there is no false hair.

This person is naturally Li Tanhua, and he is also Gu Yuean's latest knight.

Although he didn't go to the palace test in the end, the deal with the emperor allowed him to get the title of champion.

When the conditions are met, the knight is unlocked.

In fact, Gu Yuean had already guessed that he would unlock this legendary figure, but when he really sat next to this person, that feeling was still amazing, because that kind of loneliness, just reading a book, was a completely different thing from the actual experience.

Fortunately, he is also a very lonely person now.

"Brother Li, do you want wine?" At this moment, the curtain of the car was lifted again, and I saw Ding Peng once again carrying a bottle of wine extremely dogged, handing it to Li Tanhua, licking his face and smiling.

Gu Yuean was really a little speechless, he thought that the meeting of the two generations of sword gods must be a scene of heroes cherishing each other.

But he obviously thought too much, and it was really a fool's dream to expect this demonized Ding Peng to have the demeanor of a sword god, so the scene in front of him appeared.

"Brother Peng, I said can you stop for a while and catch the car?" Gu Yuean couldn't help but cover his face, even if this guy kneels and licks, he doesn't need to be so exaggerated.

It must be a demonized pot, it must be a demonized pot.

Gu Yue'an hypnotized herself like this.

Over there, Ding Peng felt extremely good about himself, and hummed: "You want to take care of it, Lao Tzu likes it, you bite me?"

Gu Yuean didn't bother to pay attention to him, closed her eyes and planned to sleep.

Ding Peng suddenly said, "So what do you mean by the emperor?"

"......" Gu Yuean was about to answer, but she opened her eyes again and said, "It's alive again." ”

A new quest has been spawned on his bounty board:

"Real-time Reward 1:

Kill the incoming horse thief and get two practice points.

......”

"It's really getting more and more picky......" Gu Yue'an muttered.

The next moment, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

Above the field, a troop of horse thieves galloped towards them, and after ten breaths they had surrounded the carriage.

"I drove this road, I planted this grass, and the people in the car, who want to live, take out the money. An arrogant voice rang out from outside.

Gu Yuean poked his head out, took a look, and found that the leader was a mustache, holding a saber to show off his might.

"Are your horses side horses?" Gu Yue'an observed their horses.

"What are you doing?" The mustache suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he looked at the people around him, and said arrogantly, "Boy, you must have martial arts, right?" But I advise you not to be delusional, there are so many of us here, you are invincible with two fists and four hands, hurry up and get the money!"

"Than ...... How many people?" Gu Yuean and Ding Peng glanced at each other with strange expressions, and then laughed.

"You ...... What are you laughing at?!" Mustache felt that his position as the king of horse thieves had been challenged, and he was about to charge in a rage.

But at this moment, he suddenly noticed that there was suddenly a swordsman with a hat next to the carriage, and this swordsman ...... It doesn't seem simple.

"It turns out that there is one hidden in the car, what about one more?" The mustache is still very angry, how can these Jianghu guests do it now, are they all so desperate for money?

Then, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly found that there was another person on the roof of the car, this was a swordsman in white clothes who was sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, looking at the white clouds in the sky in a daze.

This person was obviously not there before, but now that he looks at it, it seems as if he has always been there, and this person is not simple.

"Multi-...... What about two more?" the mustache was a little annoyed.

And so, a third one appeared, and it was a beautiful woman with a strange sword flying around the carriage...... Fly?!

At the same time, a guy who looked blind, but obviously knew at a glance that he was a big man, also appeared in front of the carriage.

This...... What is it?

"Big ...... Hero, fight ...... Let's talk about it, I'm ...... We don't ...... If you don't grab it, you can ...... Is it okay?" the mustache tooth fought, and the knife was unsteady, and he felt that his title of King of Horse Thieves was about to change hands today.

"What do you say?" the young man in the car tilted his head to look at him.

"Run!" shouted the mustache in desperation.
