228 The legendary dream of the old high-roller, since ancient times, the chivalrous man has led the way

This way down the mountain, Li Shuangbai and Li Chaoju have their own hearts, sullen, compared with a few days ago up the mountain, the two of them walked very slowly this time, it seems that this Taiyi Mountain will never be finished.

When the two of them descended the mountain, the sky inevitably darkened again.

The two walked along the street, deaf to the things on both sides of the street, and Li Chao lowered his head in contemplation, his steps slow.

Li Shuangbai kept pinching the iron fan in his hand, his eyes were lowered, and he was silent, and after a long time, he moved his eyes to both sides to look at the streets and alleys of Chang'an after the destruction.

In the chaotic times, the Chang'an area was attacked by wars many times, suffered repeated catastrophes, and collapsed after the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

After the frequent wars, Chang'an City was not in its former glory, and after that, Kyoto was transferred to the Central Plains, and Chang'an City was relatively stable for a while, but it was disrupted during the Han Dynasty five years ago.

That year, Zhao Sijuan launched a rebellion in Chang'an and confronted the Later Han Dynasty, the surrounding cities all responded, Chang'an City was besieged for a long time, food shortage, the traitor Zhao Sijuan killed people and ate, the war lasted a year, so that the economic recovery of Chang'an City was depressed again, and Chang'an, which had a population of one million in the past, finally only left about 10,000 people.

Qingju Yuan and Xiangjian Lou are located in Chang'an, but outside the city, although they were lucky to avoid the catastrophe at that time, but they have all witnessed the cannibal demon, and now Zhao Siwan was beheaded in Chang'an City, but every time he thinks about it, he grits his teeth and hates it.

Five years have passed, those people who have fled have returned to their hometowns one after another, the situation in Chang'an City is about to improve, I don't want to be disturbed and destroyed by this divine army now, how many wives and wives are separated and their families are ruined?

Walking all over the street, the shadow of people is scarce, a bleak and desolate, one person in ten households is rare, the people of Chang'an City who have lost their relatives are cleaning up the dilapidated houses with dull eyes, some women are sitting at the door crying, and many old people are standing on the street and looking around, their eyes are empty and blank.

After looking at it for a while, Li Shuangbai quickly withdrew his gaze and couldn't bear to look at it again, at this time, Li Chao had already sent him outside the Wangxian Tower.

Li Shuangbai hurriedly said, "That's it!"

Li Chao stopped, looked at Li Shuangbai and said, "You want to rest here?"

Li Shuangbai nodded, and after Li Chao left, he slowly pushed the wheelchair into Wangxian Tower, and when he entered the building, he saw at a glance the seat he sat in when he last met Li Chao, the same table and chair, the same shopkeeper, but at the moment there were few people, and it looked bleak and bleak.

Li Shuangbai asked for the room directly and went upstairs with a pot of wine in his arms.

Closing the door, before the lights were lit, Li Shuangbai was stunned in the dark room, suddenly grabbed the wine jug and poured it on his face.

The shopkeeper was coming to the room with a plate of food, and suddenly heard the sound of water in the room, his face changed, and he hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted: "Brother Zijun, Brother Zijun, what happened?"

Li Shuangbai is nicknamed 'White Fairy Jun', this shopkeeper is Chang'an's family, but he knows, so he often calls it 'Zijun', Li Shuangbai's family has suffered a drastic change, the shopkeeper has already heard of it, at this moment he saw a strange sound in Li Shuangbai's room, he thought something had happened, and he was nervous.

Li Shuangbai slowly went over and opened the door to welcome the shopkeeper in, and the shopkeeper said in a panic: "Brother Zijun, what happened?"

Li Shuangbai returned to the house, his face was miserable, and he only said: "I'm sorry, I accidentally spilled the wine on the ground and soiled your room." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned and stunned, lit the lamp, and his eyes inevitably fell on his clothes, only to see that there was a wet patch, even his cheeks, eyelashes, the bridge of his nose, and even his sideburns were water, his eyes fell, and he saw him holding the wine jug in his hand, and then he understood a little, he sighed and said: "Brother Zijun, in life, it is inevitable to experience the death of relatives, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things for people, living in this troubled world, leaving early is not a relief." ”

Li Shuangbai arched his hand and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”

The shopkeeper said, "I'll go get you a piece of clothing to change into!" With that, he put down the plate, turned to leave, and after a while, came over with a half-worn white robe.

Li Shuangbai didn't dislike it, so he put it on his body, and even thanked the shopkeeper, who brought the food and said: "Eat quickly, now that the war is in chaos, I still hide those good wine and meat in the cellar, so that they don't find out, otherwise-" He immediately sighed.

Li Shuangbai pushed over the food, lowered his head and took out a piece of jade from his body, handed it to the shopkeeper and said: "This is a family heirloom, it should be regarded as paying for your food and lodging, please help me make a few more steamed buns, I don't need this dish." ”

The shopkeeper was surprised: "Only eat steamed buns? How can you eat enough to eat this? How many steamed buns?"

Li Shuangbai thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid one day is not enough, so as long as there is more, not less, it can last for three or five days." ”

The shopkeeper was even more surprised, stared at Li Shuangbai and asked, "Brother Zijun is going to travel far away?"

Li Shuangbai didn't answer directly, only turned his head and glanced around the room, hesitated for a while, then turned his eyes back and said, "If Miss Li comes to me tomorrow, please help me tell her." ”

The shopkeeper suddenly said, "But the girl Li Chao, the fairy who was with you outside just now?"

Li Shuangbai stared at the shopkeeper with white eyes and nodded solemnly.

The shopkeeper sighed, hurriedly took off a money bag from his sleeve and gave it to Li Shuangbai, and said, "Brother Zijun, you can take this for easy use on the road." Without waiting for Li Shuangbai to react, he had already stuffed it into Li Shuangbai's hand.

Li Shuangbai was stunned for a moment, raised his head to meet the shopkeeper and said, "Why are you doing this?"

The shopkeeper sighed deeply: "We are also one of the few surviving neighborhoods in Chang'an City, now there are wars everywhere, either robbing money and burning things, or killing people, I am nearly middle-aged, no wife and no children, lonely family, can live a day is a day! As he spoke, even the jade was stuffed into Li Shuangbai, stared at it for a while, and asked, "Brother Zijun, where are you going?"

Li Shuangbai was greatly moved, and blurted out without hesitation: "Go find my two elder brothers." ”

The shopkeeper immediately said: "But what about Yu Canghai and Liao Changsheng?"

Li Shuangbai was stunned and said, "You also know them?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "You have a righteous relationship with them, but they have joined the Shence Army and are going against you, isn't it very dangerous for you to go?"

Li Shuangbai felt a pain in his heart, but when he heard the shopkeeper talk about the Shence Army, he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly asked: "The two of them joined the Shence Army, and I only learned about it a few days ago, how did the shopkeeper know about it?"

The shopkeeper continued: "These days, there are some people in the rivers and lakes in this store, all of them are talking about the Shence Army, and it is not only your two brothers who have taken refuge in the Shence Army, it is said that Nangong Yi of the Nangong Gate of the sword-casting family, and Zhu Sixiao, the head of the Seven Star Sect who is mysterious and has always been wandering, have also taken refuge in the Shence Army......"

Li Shuangbai intercepted the words and said, "Did Zhu Sixiao bring people to besiege Chang'an?"

"Hey!" the shopkeeper sighed and turned back to his face, "Since you know this, your two righteous brothers have taken refuge in the Shence Army, and now that the Shence Army has withdrawn from this place, where are you going to find them?"

Li Shuangbai said: "At the ends of the earth, you have to find it if you can find it, and if you can't find it, you have to find it!"

The shopkeeper said: "Even if you find it, they insist on going their own way and are enemies with you, and you and the Shence Army are as deep as the sea, what should you do when the time comes?"

Li Shuangbai was dazed, his eyes suddenly flashed a trace of coldness, and he said word by word: "Then you have to find it!"

There was no moon tonight, and when Li Chao returned to Qingju Garden, Li Lao Taijun, Liu Feng and others had also returned, and Li Chao did not tell the truth about himself and Li Shuangbai.

Everyone was safe and sound, except for Li Zheng, who was still busy working, but he didn't see Tian Shaoqi come back, Li Lao Taijun hurriedly assigned a few people to look for him, and Shen Wuxing even led people to rush to the street.

Tian Shaoqing also walked out on the street, and was worried that he couldn't find Tian Shaoqi, but he received a letter from Tian Shaoqi in the middle of the night.

It turned out that Tian Shaoqi followed everyone up to Taiyi Mountain that day, and found no trace of anyone else left and right, and later saw Liu Feng tracking Duanmu Jing across a cliff valley, and dozens of Shence Army soldiers appeared on the opposite side of the cliff valley, and the Shence Army not only trapped Liu Feng, but also trapped Yang Lingyan.

Tian Shaoqi fought for a while, and found that the Yueming Sect's left and right protectors Guo Qiliang and Xiong Bichang were mixed in the Shence Army, because the two of them did not attract Duanmu Jing's attention, but Tian Shaoqi saw the wind breaking knife, the weapon used by these two people, and then Yang Lingyan fought out of the encirclement, Liu Feng was led away by Duanmu Jing and the Shence Army, and then it was Liu Feng's confrontation with the wheel war.

At that time, Tian Shaoqi had already secretly followed Guo Qiliang and Xiong Bichang, and along the way, she found that this Yueming Protector did not take the official road, and deliberately circled on the mountain, she felt that something was wrong, so she hid in the dark.

Sure enough, Guo Qiliang and Xiong Bichang cautiously followed the west of Taiyi Mountain, which is known as the only beauty in Zhongnan, even if it is the world-famous Zhongnan Mountain.

Zhongnan Mountain is a section of the Qinling Mountains, there are five big valleys, more than 100 small valleys, hundreds of miles, along it to the west can reach Taibai Mountain.
