"Good swordsmanship. Zhong Guanyun happened to see Ning Chen's move to pick up the knife in Sanyucun's palm, and couldn't help but cheer loudly.

His eyesight naturally saw that the two of them did not use internal force, and the comparison was pure moves.

"City Lord. Ning Chen put the sword back into its sheath, smiled slightly and said, "Move your muscles and bones with General Chang in the morning, so that the city lord can see and smile." ”

"Lord Jiu Wenning learned art in the Hanshan Sword Pavilion when he was a child, and now he really lives up to his reputation at first sight. Zhong Guanyun smiled softly.

"The city lord came here so early, but what's the matter?" Ning Chen asked.

"Hmm. Zhong Guanyun nodded, and then said, "It's a little troublesome, I want to ask Lord Ning to come out in person." ”

"Please. Ning Chen's expression was straight, and he said to Zhong Guanyun, "Please speak in the house." ”

"Nope. Zhong Guanyun Yaoyao nodded, and then said: "To make a long story short, a group of bandits of unknown origin have appeared in the Great Wilderness Mountain, and three or four good hands have been missing to investigate. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Ning Chen frowned slightly, and then said: "I'm not good at marching and fighting, but I have also learned a few hands in Jinyi Wei about arresting bandits. ”

"I won't make a military order or anything. Ning Chen tilted his head and joked at Zhong Guanyun: "But if this matter is resolved, the city lord will have to say a few more good words to the emperor on behalf of him." ”

"Naturally, there is no problem with this, Lord Ning can rest assured. Zhong Guanyun smiled helplessly in his heart, he naturally knew that Ning Chen's meaning was a young man after all, if he was himself, he might not be able to let go of the wife at home, let alone the pregnant wife.

"How many helpers are you looking for?" Zhong Guanyun asked Ning Chen.

"Just let General Chang arrange it. Ning Chen looked at Chang Yucun, and then said, "Pick three or two capable brothers, let's go explore the Great Wilderness Mountain." ”

"Then leave this matter to Lord Ning. Zhong Guanyun arched his hand at Ning Chen, and left Ning Chen's residence.

Ning Chen didn't have a dedicated mansion in the Great Wilderness City, this was a courtyard that was cleaned up for him from the City Lord's Mansion.

Although the so-called sparrows are small, they have all the organs, and there are even a vegetable field where vegetables are grown, but now it is late autumn, and it is about to enter winter, and this vegetable field is also full of dry weeds.

The people were soon complete.

Although this great desert city is a military town, there are not a few ordinary residents, and there are all kinds of shops and hotels.

Ning Chen generously invited guests, and a group of five people had breakfast at the stall at the city gate and left the Great Wilderness City.

"This road, this official can be regarded as walking once. Ning Chen looked at the official road leading to the Great Wilderness Mountain and said to Chang Yucun.

The last general remembered. Chang Yucun scratched the back of his head and said quite embarrassedly: "When the adults sent Princess Fengyang to Xiliang and Qin some time ago, they came to the Great Wilderness City once, but the last general didn't pay attention to it at that time. ”

"Heh~" Ning Chen also smiled helplessly, and then said: "If this official had the current strength, it would not have been possible for Xiao Xiao to succeed."

Chang Yucun also went to learn some about Ning Chen's past, and knew that Ning Chen's strength had improved by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, and when he came over last time, Ning Chen's martial arts distance could only be said to be 108,000 miles now.

Fortunately, the Lord has found out the real culprit behind the scenes, and has avenged the princess. Chang Yucun also said with great admiration.

Since he went to learn about Ning Chen's past, he should know why Ning Chen went deep into Xiliang and destroyed Xiliang Shenfeng Hall. It's just that he doesn't know that what he sees is an article on the surface~

"It's all old things, and what do you mention about him. Ning Chen waved his hand, but he thought helplessly in his heart, it was really hard to say whether Princess Fengyang's matter was over or not.

Great Wilderness Mountain.

Ning Chen stood in the position where he escaped death, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart.

If Li Zhenfeng, who came from the Sun Shooting Villa, didn't covet his rainstorm pear flower needle that day, he would have thought that he would have died here.

This is not the only way to enter the Great Wilderness Mountain, Ning Chen just wants to return here to have a look.

It is said that man cannot compete with the power of nature.

The traces of the fire have been completely erased.

Chang Yucun didn't know Ning Chen's intention to come here, and when he saw Ning Chen stop here, and fell into deep thought and was silent for a long time, he thought that he had made some new discovery.

At the moment, he also made a boo gesture for the three cronies he brought, for fear of interrupting Ning Chen's rhythm.

"Let's go. After waiting for a while, Ning Chen came back to his senses, and looked at the four people who were standing quietly on the side without saying a word, Ning Chen also smiled helplessly.

"You have been in the Great Wilderness City for a long time, presumably this Great Wilderness Mountain has not been missing, right?" Ning Chen asked them.

"Familiarity with the terrain of the Great Wilderness City is the most basic requirement of the Great Wilderness Army. Chang Yucun nodded and continued: "Don't tell your lord, this latest map of the Great Wilderness Mountain is from the hand of the last general. “

There was a hint of smugness on Chang Yucun's face.

Ning Chen was deeply convinced of what Chang Yucun said.

If the war of the Three Kingdoms arises, then the Great Barren Mountain must be the battleground of the Three Kingdoms.

Whoever can preemptively hold the Great Wilderness Mountain in his hands will be able to get the absolute right to take the lead.

There is no doubt about that.

Not only the Great Wilderness Army, Ning Chen was sure that the armies of the Three Kingdoms stationed near the Great Wilderness Mountain would take this as the basic criterion of the army.

"Let's go into the mountains. Ning Chen said to the four of them.

This is only the outermost part of the Great Wilderness Mountain, at best, it is just touching the edges, and for the real Great Wilderness Mountain, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

The Great Barren Mountain, after all, occupies a barren word, and it does have a bit of a desolate taste.

Although there are many trees, the lack of popularity is quite obvious.

Waste, just say "no one".

It's not a "famine" where no grass grows.

Sanyucun is naturally the role of leading the way.

The topographic maps here are all written by him, and sixty or seventy percent of the Great Wilderness Mountain is already in his mind.

Living maps, nothing more.

"Do you know the brothers who disappeared before?" Ning Chen asked as he walked on the path of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

"Yes. Chang Yucun nodded, and then said: "My lord doesn't know, the last general is in charge of the scout camp, and among the missing brothers, one is the squad leader that the last general values a lot. ”

"I said how did the city lord find the head of the official. Ning Chen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said to Chang Yucun, who walked in front and turned around: "It turns out that the source seems to you to be the trouble that the official himself came to yesterday~"

"But don't worry. Ning Chen looked at Sanyu Cun, who was a little embarrassed, and said, "Since this official has already taken over this task, there is no reason to give up halfway. ”

Chang Yucun breathed a sigh of relief.

"What did the adults discover before?" Seeing that Ning Chen no longer mentioned what happened to him standing there just now, Chang Yucun finally couldn't help but ask.

"Where to find something. Ning Chen shook his head, and then said: "This is the second time this official has come to the Great Wilderness Mountain, even if there is a discovery, shouldn't you have discovered it?"

"Could it be that you saw the difference in that place just now?" Ning Chen asked with a smile.

Ning Chen's question was only exchanged for an embarrassing laugh.

"Along the way, have you found anything unusual?" Ning Chen looked around, thinking about what he had seen along the way, but unfortunately he didn't find anything unusual.

Maybe because I don't know much about the Great Wilderness Mountain, it's easy to ignore some details.

But they are different.

"The last general is incompetent. Chang Yucun also had a bitter face, and he didn't have any special discoveries.

"Huh. Ning Chen waved his hand and said with relief: "You don't have to blame yourself, if this bandit can be caught by the horse's feet and show his whereabouts so easily, we don't need to go out in person." ”

"That's what my lord said. San's face recovered slightly.

"Is there any hidden place in this Great Barren Mountain, where people can hide?" Ning Chen looked at the Great Barren Mountain, which was more than twice as large as the poisonous mountain that he had gone to find the Corpse King before.

"That's too much. Chang Yucun nodded lightly, and then said: "Just the last general has discovered, there are as many as more than ten places, three of which can accommodate more than five hundred people, and the largest one can even hide more than three thousand soldiers. ”

"That's it, the Admiral wonders if there is still a place where he has not been found. Chang Yucun told Ning Chen what he knew.

"Lead the way. Ning Chen waved his hand, and then said: "First of all, take the more than ten places you know to transfer to the official and familiarize yourself with the basic situation of the Great Wilderness Mountain, after all, this is the most basic quality of the Great Wilderness Army, and as a supervising army, this official naturally cannot be an exception." ”

————

Xiliang.

On a small tea stall on the side of the road.

"Master. Qi Shaoshang's ass was followed by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man, and he said with a look of adoration: "You just accept me!"

Qi Shaoshang kept a straight face and didn't say a word.

And turned his head.

"Master. The young man turned a corner, came to Qi Shaoshang's face again, and said, "The master and apprentice are sincere. ”

"I told you. Qi Shaoshang was upset by him, and said quite seriously: "I don't accept apprentices." ”

"Teacher. The young man immediately changed his title, brought a cup of tea from the side, and said, "Teacher, disciple will give you tea!"

Qi Shaoshang felt that even his own good temper was on the verge of exploding.

This kid is so annoying, it's like a slap in the face to kill him!

"My kung fu can't be learned by ordinary people. Qi Shaoshang sighed lightly and said.

"Why?" The young man was overjoyed when he saw that Qi Shaoshang finally had some reaction.

"Wow. Qi Shaoshang motioned to the young man to look at his left arm, and then said: "I broke my arm, and my kung fu is only suitable for one-armed people to learn." ”

"If you want to learn, you need to cut off your arm. Qi Shaoshang wanted to scare the young man away.

"Cut off your own arm?" the young man looked horrified.

"Your arm was broken to learn divine skills?" asked the young man cautiously.

"It's not. Qi Shaoshang said lightly: "It was cut off by a friend." ”

"Friend?" the young man was puzzled.

"Yes. Qi Shaoshang nodded and repeated: "It's a friend." ”

"There are a lot of things you can't do on your own. A hint of self-deprecation appeared at the corner of Qi Shaoshang's mouth, and then said: "You might as well ask a friend to help, or do it for you." ”

"How many days can I think about it?" said the young man's face was grim.

Qi Shaoshang knew that he was looking for a step down, and said indifferently: "It's up to you to consider." ”

Self-cutting one-arm to learn divine skills?

The corners of Qi Shaoshang's mouth twitched slightly, when did he start using such a measurement.

"Will you wait for me?" said the young man with a hint of hope in his eyes.

"I'll be passing by here in three days' time. Qi Shaoshang didn't know why, and subconsciously said to the young man: "If you think about it, you might as well wait for me here." ”

"I'm leaving. The young man stood up, straightened up, and left the small wine shop with a quick meteor.

Qi Shaoshang also left the small wine shop, and met his partner in the imperial court, Li Feihong, in a secluded place.

"Lord Li. Qi Shaoshang arched his hand at Li Feihong, and then said: "I already have some eyebrows here about the things you asked me to investigate. ”

"This is what you want. Li Feihong threw Qi Shaoshang a package, Qi Shaoshang just weighed it, did not open it, but took out a jade pendant from his arms, threw it at Li Feihong, and then said: "This jade pendant I stole from King Qiang's big tent, do you recognize it?"

And so it was. Li Feihong's face changed for a while, and he said to Qi Shaoshang: "Thank you for your help." ”

"It's nothing. Qi Shaoshang waved his hand indifferently, and then said: "The question now is, what do you plan to do? Do you stay out of the matter, or do you want to hit the stone with an egg?"

"Let's be honest. Li Feihong's face was ugly, and his expression kept changing, as if he was in a difficult choice: "I don't know either." ”

"Let's wait and see. Qi Shaoshang raised his eyebrows slightly, and then said: "If you startle the snake, I'm afraid it will not be good." ”

"Alas!" Li Feihong sighed heavily, arched his hand at Qi Shaoshang, and then said, "You really don't consider serving the imperial court?"

"You give me money to help you investigate the case. The corners of Qi Shaoshang's mouth twitched slightly: "How can I not do things for the imperial court?"

"Unless," Qi Shaoshang said here, but he stopped talking and didn't speak.

"Unless what?" Li Feihong was very cooperative and said what Qi Shaoshang wanted to hear.

"Unless Lord Li asks me to do something, it's not for the court. Qi Shaoshang chuckled.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

It's still the same little wine stall.

Qi Shaoshang sat here, drinking quietly and drinking alone until the sky completely fell.

"Hero. The owner of the wine stall said to Qi Shaoshang: "That kid shouldn't come, I'm also going to close the stall, see if it?"

"Excuse me. ”

Qi Shaoshang is usually very talkative, and handed the boss a silver ingot, which was only a lot more than his wine money.

It was only when Qi Shaoshang wanted to leave that he found that a thin figure appeared staggering not far away~

"Smack. The man forced himself to walk in front of Qi Shaoshang, but finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground.
