The green mountains and green forests moved back rapidly, the peaks and mountains were sleek and smart, the birds were singing, the monsters were roaring, and after a while, a place called Shankou Town in the eastern part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was not far from the junction of the Great Yan Empire and the Great Song Dynasty. Han Cong and a group of thirty people entered the town with great fanfare, according to Zhou Qian's plan, the first step was to startle the snake, the second step was to light and dark, and the third step was to eliminate at a fixed point. After settling everyone in a big inn in the town, Zhou Qian took Li Xue, Wan Zihao, Yan Zhaonan and Liu Feng into the county-level yamen set up here by the Dayan Empire.

At the entrance of the yamen, the officials were just about to drink. Yan Zhaonan immediately took out a token. The official was stunned for a while, took the token and looked at it for a while, and then went in to report. After a while, two people came out and immediately knelt on the ground and saluted Yan Zhaonan.

"Xiaguan Ye Mao didn't know that the little prince had arrived, and it was really a crime to miss the distance, and he deserved to die, and asked the little prince to forgive him. ”

"Lord Ye is strict, Lord Ye sticks to the important town in the northwest of the empire, working day and night for the army and the people, hard work. Xiao Wang assisted Lord Ye in clearing the remnants of the border demons as the Eternal Academy this time, not the Imperial Emperor's order, and I hope Lord Ye will keep it a low-key secret!"

Ye Mao's eyes widened, and he hurriedly made way for everyone. While inviting the crowd, he said:

"Hey! It turned out to be the arrival of the fairy family, disrespectful and disrespectful! Please come in, please come in. ”

In fact, according to Zhenwu, there will always be one or two relatives and friends in the cultivation realm in ten miles and eight villages. In other words, the monk is not very mysterious, and Mr. Eternal Academy has a far-reaching influence, but the people of Eternal Academy suddenly came to the door, and no one dared to slack off. However, Ye Mao's overly polite and polite elements are mostly prominent, not the kind that is really respectful and surprised and trembling.

On the same day, Zhou Qian and others began to visit and investigate. On the other hand, Han Cong took Tong Tong and Han Fusheng to dress up as country boys and secretly marched in the direction of Loutaiguan. The town of Shankou is about fifty miles from Loutaiguan, although it has to pass through mountain passes, canyons and dense forests. But it's official, and there are a lot of people who pass by every day.

Han Cong heard Tong Tong say that the general of the heavily armored iron cavalry was his father. However, the 1,000 heavily armored iron horsemen only knew that they came from the northwest border to Qinglong Gorge, but no one knew where they came from or where they passed. There is no doubt that the Heavy Armor Iron Rider passed through the miasma dense forest that stretched for thousands of miles in the east of the Demon Beast Mountain Range and north of the Qinglong Gorge. It is not known from which section of the road to enter, or if it was hidden deep in the forest.

In fact, at that time, Yan Yongchun did not dare to enter the miasma dense forest alone. Because for some reason, the demonic qi and miasma from the Demon Beast Mountain Range stopped in this north-south mountain range, forming a dense forest of miasma more than a hundred miles wide. Not only can it devour the monk's divine sense, but even the Yuanying monk doesn't dare to stay in it for a long time. Unless there is a large amount of blue jade on the body.

When Han Cong got the Demon Cultivator in the Loutaiguan Military Camp from Zhou Qian, he certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to go to investigate. Now Han Cong also regretted that he squandered the green jade stone twelve years ago, and now there is not much left. If you want to get the green jade stone again, you can only wait until you enter the ring domain of the Biluo Five Elements Ring to try it.

"Tong Tong, this matter is not urgent, we have to think of sneaking into the barracks. There seem to be a few houses at the pass ahead, so let's take a break and explore. ”

There used to be a temporary military camp on the V-shaped line pass formed on the halfway of the two mountains, but it was too close to the Loutai Pass 30 miles ahead, so this military camp was abandoned. Savvy businessmen started their business here. Snacks, tea shops, and blacksmith shops are all available. Not only serves the Loutaiguan barracks, but also serves the mercenary monks who explore and hunt for treasures.

Han Cong and the three of them entered the only tea shop at the pass and sat down. The tea guests inside didn't care about the arrival of Han Cong and the others, and continued to discuss their topic.

"You've heard about it! The Loutaiguan military camp is haunted, and several soldiers have committed suicide for no reason. ”

"Old stubborn, there are 50,000 sergeants stationed in Loutaiguan, and there is no fuss about the death of a few soldiers. ”

My nephew's brother-in-law's third aunt and brother-in-law are delivering firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables and fruits for the barracks. I'm better informed than you, hehe. The night before yesterday, my nephew's brother-in-law and his third aunt and brother-in-law were delivering a few carts of vegetables, and because of a long delay, when they left the barracks, they suddenly heard a soldier shouting "Ghost" in the distance, and then jumped off the cliff behind the Loutai Pass, and fell not far behind them. Frightened, he lost the cart and ran away. ”

"It's nothing! If a soldier offends his commander, he will be executed in secret. Old stubborn, don't spread rumors and make trouble, be careful that the soldiers hear about you and arrest you. ”

"I'm not talking nonsense with you! I'm going to have to send dry wood to my nephew. ”

The old stubborn man then raised the teacup and drank the tea leaves in his mouth, and then carried the big bundle of dry branches next to him and walked out of the tea shop while chewing. Han Cong glanced at Tong Tong and Fusheng and slowly followed.

After a while, after entering a fork in the official road and walking for several miles, the old stubborn man entered a small courtyard.

"Old woman, your old man is back. Get some food, I'm hungry. ”

"You dead ghost still know to come back! I thought the old lady didn't know that you had been blowing in the tea shop at the pass for a long time. If you continue like this, our family will only have to drink the northwest wind. ”

"Old woman, don't we still have a few acres of land? My nephew usually respects a little more. ”

"Your nephew, if we hadn't treated him like our own son since we were a child, if you hadn't had a few acres of land, he would have taken care of you. ”

The old stubborn couple were getting quieter and quieter in the courtyard, and Han Cong was not interested in listening, but motioned for Fusheng and Tong Tong to go in together.

"Hello, old man!"

"Who are you? I think I've seen you at the pass. The old stubborn couple immediately came out and looked at Han Cong and the three of them and asked.

Seeing the old stubborn question, Han Cong immediately pointed to Fusheng and Tong Tong and said, "These are my eldest brother's two children, from Yamaguchi Town. My eldest brother was the head of a hundred households in Loutaiguan, and the two children missed my eldest brother very much, so they went to Loutaiguan to see their father, but the soldiers at the gate of the camp were not allowed to enter. The chief of the hundred households is not small, big and not big, and I can't see it for a while, and we can't bear to go back like this, I heard in the Yakou tea shop that the old man has a relative who is a barracks to deliver food, see if you can find a way to take us in, I went with my eldest brother once the year before last, as long as I went in, I would recognize the road and find my eldest brother. ”

"Young man, I'm afraid this won't work! If this thing is discovered, it will lose its head. ”

Han Cong took out three pieces of prepared loose silver from his clothes, and pretended to be a little heartbroken and stuffed them into the old stubborn head.

My wife is seventy or eighty years old, and I have to go to the capital to take the exam, and my two nephews have to expect my eldest brother to come back with some money to take care of their grandmother. This is what I earned from hunting in the mines for a few years, and I asked the old man to help. ”

The old stubborn man was no stranger to silver, and he weighed it in his hand, so he said:

"Seeing that you are real people, then I will help you!

After the old stubborn man finished speaking, he entered the back room, and after Han Cong and the three of them went in and sat down, the old stubborn man unhurriedly lit a puff of dry cigarettes, and suddenly yelled at his wife:

"The old woman really has no eyesight, these three little brothers must be hungry after a long journey, hurry up and get some food. By the way, I killed the old hen who hadn't laid eggs for a long time, and I drank two glasses with the two boys. ”

The old lady's lips moved twice, but she hurried to get to work. At this time, the old stubborn man took two mouthfuls of dry tobacco and continued:

This morning, my nephew also said that his brother-in-law was sick when he returned from the Loutaiguan barracks the day before yesterday, and asked me to help find someone to deliver food to the barracks for his brother-in-law. It is estimated that the black side will come to me in the afternoon, as long as you are not afraid of encountering ghosts at night, no problem. ”

"The old man can rest assured, as long as we enter the barracks, my eldest brother will take care of us, and we don't need to worry. ”

"Well, then I'll say you're my old woman's cousin. My nephew won't say anything. ”

Then the three of them chatted with the old stubborn man from all over the world, and after a while, sure enough, someone shouted at the old stubborn outside the courtyard.

"Zhuzhu, come in, come in and have two drinks with the second uncle. Your cousin is here. ”

After a while, a man in his thirties pushed open the door and walked in.

"Second uncle and second aunt are good! My cousin, which cousin!"

Your second aunt said that her cousin's youngest son and eldest grandson happened to have nothing to do, so she called you over to see if it was okay to go to the barracks for your brother-in-law. ”

Zhu Zhu looked at Han Cong and the three of them and said:

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid this kid is not suitable. ”

"Cousin Zhuzhu, you see my little nephew is a little silly. I didn't feel at ease when I was home alone, so I had to take him with me. He doesn't need to be paid, and it's still okay to help with the trolley. ”

"Okay then, don't eat it, let's go now, I'll have to prepare for a long time when I go to my brother-in-law's third aunt and brother-in-law." ”

Immediately, Han Cong and the three of them followed the bolt pillar to a mansion more than ten miles to the east. It was a mansion with more than a dozen houses, and Han Cong saw several people in the courtyard busy from a distance.

"Brother Tian is busy! I've sent someone to you. ”

"Come on! Come in! Hey, your brother-in-law is such a piece of waste, he will scare him half to death by jumping off a cliff, these three?

"No problem! They are all from poor families, and nothing else, but there is no shortage of strength. This kid is a bit stupid, let's make some stupid efforts together!"

The man surnamed Tian glanced at Han Cong and the others, and then said to the person next to him:

"Wang Sanwa, you take the two of them to load the car, don't be lazy. At the beginning of the unitary period, six donkey carts had to be loaded. ”

Half an hour later, six donkey carts loaded with grain and dry firewood drove out of the compound. Han Cong was puzzled, why didn't he send it in the morning, but when it was about to get dark? The barracks are closed during the day and no one is allowed to approach, and at night only a small gate is allowed to enter the back hill. No one knows exactly why.

The sky gradually darkened, and six donkey carts slowly approached the Loutai Pass along the official road.
