The group of children, about fifteen or six, the eldest thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest three or four years old, both men and women, naked and unclothed, with a pair of little feet exposed, were pitted with the sharp stones on the ground, and were punctured with blood blisters and lumps, and their eyes were full of desolation and miserable.

Around the neck of each child, a golden collar with simple numbers engraved on it.

They didn't walk, they crawled on all fours, like animals, they were unkempt, their eyes were glazed, their expressions playful, and the young ones at the back of the line, still in the grass, rummaged for earthworms to swallow raw, and the crawling was a little slower, and the merciless whip of the golden-faced stranger fell.

- What's going on?!

Tang poems, Song Ci, and Yuan songs, the three maids were stunned and stupid.

But Leng Ruoyan was so angry that she was almost angry, her jade hand was trembling, the halberd pointed at the golden-faced stranger, and said angrily: "You person, why do you abuse children like this!!!?

As soon as the golden-faced stranger pulled the golden silk reins, the golden-haired horse stopped suddenly, and heard the golden-faced stranger roar back: "Lao Tzu's child, Lao Tzu can abuse as much as he wants, you stinky girl?!"

Leng Ruoyan shouted angrily: "Even if it's your children, you shouldn't treat them like this, if you don't stop it, it's about the girl!"

The golden-faced stranger immediately stopped advancing, he looked back at Leng Ruoyan, and said with his golden beard in his hand: "Look at your little lady's posture, and her ass is big, it's better to follow this king back to the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers' to give birth to a doll!"

"Wanhua Valley?" Leng Ruoyan said: "Isn't that the territory of Shen Zhongxia's old lover Hua Peony?"

"I fuck Shen Zhongxia and his eighth generation ancestor!" The golden-faced strange man blew his yellow beard, glared at the golden eyes, opened his golden teeth, and scolded: "Hua Peony is my Duan Xingzhi's wife, and the 'Gentle Township' turned out to be the king's 'palace', which was earned by Shen Zhongxia, and now that the year is over, Shen Zhongxia's old rabbit cub and the woman who dominates the valley with face will not return me, and this king will castrate his eggs!"

After being shocked for a long time, Leng Ruoyan asked: "Is it Duan Xingzhi, the prince of 'Dali'?"

Glancing at Leng Ruoyan, the golden-faced stranger nodded arrogantly.

Leng Ruoyan's willow eyebrows furrowed: "Hua Peony is your wife, isn't she Shen Zhongxia's good looks?"

The frowning Ruoyan has a good temperament and sees the extreme.

"Yes," the golden-faced strange man Duan Xingzhi said proudly, "This king and Shen Zhongxia share a wife." ”

"What!?"

"Sharing a wife!?"

"Oh my god!"

Tang poems, Song poems, and Yuan songs shouted one after another!

"One person takes turns to enjoy the nine sisters of the flower peony for a year, and when the date of the year is full, regardless of the woman's territory, they all change shifts. This is called a daughter and two husbands, and they are happy. Duan Xingzhi talked eloquently.

"That'...... These poor children ......" Leng Ruoyan said hesitantly, pointing to the children who were rolling and playing in the mud and weeds.

"Of course, it was born to those women in the 'Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers', but after a long time, this king can't remember clearly, which ones are the flesh and blood of this king, and which ones are the children of Shen Zhongxia?

After that, Duan Xingzhi beat the horse and urged the boys away.

"These children, so pitiful......" Song Ci, who was already a mother, couldn't help but think of his son Siao who was left in his hometown in "Hunan" (see the first chapter of the "Joy Buddha" volume), and his eyes were red.

"Girl, do you want to help those poor children?" Yuan Qu couldn't bear to ask the girl tentatively.

"Shen Zhongxia and the 'Poison King' Tang Shao are both nearby, they are both extremely difficult characters to deal with, and now is not the time to make extraneous branches. Leng Ruoyan sighed: "The future is uncertain, let's take a step at a time." ”

She waved her hand, one master and three maids, and continued to walk forward.

Along the way were weeds and rocks, poisonous snakes and strange birds, and in addition to desolation, it was desolate.

The valley is deep, and the moon is cold.

The wind is strong, the flag is moving.

The master and maid are climbing over a steep hill with strange rocks and looking into the "Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers".

See!

They finally saw the crowd.

It was a flower house, with all kinds of colorful flowers planted in front of the house, behind the house, on the left and right.

Peonies, peonies, orchids, plum blossoms, chrysanthemums, peach blossoms, lotuses, poppies, gardenias. The nine colors are beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and eye-catching!

In front of the flower house, there is a flag, black cloth, red characters, all like a spirit flag.

"Gentle ......" Tang Shi read the red letters on the black flag softly, and said with an unnatural expression: "Girl, the maid always feels weird here...... It's a bit of a seething......"

In the clouds and mist in the original place, there was a wild town, which looked quite close, but in fact, there were at least two days of mountain roads to walk from where they were standing.

"According to the map, the wild town is called 'Brake Town', and it is the only cargo distribution center within a radius of 100 miles, where the nearby natives will exchange food and daily necessities. Yuan Qu said, pointing to the markers on the map.

Song Ci shrugged his shoulders and said: "According to the literature, the name of 'Brake Town', there is the beginning of the Tang Taizong period, here is the last town in the southern border wilderness, usually the market is lively, merchants gather, produce ore and herbs, there are also many brothels, smoke houses, gambling halls, martial arts halls, restaurants, inns and other places to sell gold, but now, somehow, are depressed and desolate, sporadically decayed?"

"There are a few 'Zhennan Army' military tents in front, let's go over and take a look. Tang Shi pointed with his hand.

A cold moon shone on the ruined wall, only in the distance of the dilapidated battlements, there were three or four camp tents, to the soul-like mountain wind, blowing all the pieces and eight broken, only a tent skeleton was left.

-- According to the military system of the "Great Song Dynasty" border army, each town in the southern border area should be guarded by a team of feudal soldiers, about 9 to 15 people, and a principal and deputy team should be set up to be responsible for animal husbandry, repair, and patrol affairs.

Today, the tents of the feudal barracks are still there, but they are empty, dilapidated, and none of the border guards are missing.

Leng Ruoyan looked down and thought thoughtfully.

There was an indescribable beauty in her eyes, an indescribable beauty, even when she was questioning her enemies.

Tang Shi was peeking at the girl's eyes, and Leng Ruoyan was immediately alert: "Huh?"

"Girl, what's the matter?" Tang Shi preemptively asked.

"Are you looking at me?" Leng Ruoyan asked with a smile, "Is there something?" ”

"How can there be?" Tang Shi quibbled: "It's obvious that the girl is watching the servant." ”

Leng Ruoyan was stunned this time, she didn't expect that in such a small matter of sesame mung beans, this girl would sue the wicked first, she smiled and let out a soft voice: "Oh?"

Tang Shi suddenly sighed and muttered, "It's so beautiful." ”

"What's so beautiful?" Leng Ruoyan asked with a smile, "Why are you nervous?"

"The maidservant is saying, the girl's eyes are so beautiful, beautiful like a poem. Tang Shi still sighed in a low voice: "If the maid is not a daughter, she must marry a girl." ”

Leng Ruoyan looked left and right at Ai Wan, looked at it from the side, looked at it from the front, and then wiped the temperature of Tang Shi's forehead and asked, "Xiaoshi, are you not sick?" ”

Tang Shi was angry: "Girl, you are really not poetic at all!"

Leng Ruoyan laughed a few times, her face turned cold, and she said quickly: "There is no poetry, but there is corpse meaning." ”

The three servants also found that something was wrong, and they rushed into the ruined fort behind several military tents at the same time, in which there were many stacked stoves, probably for cooking and heating, and a large amount of wolf dung and dead grass were stored in the corners.

Song Ci explained to his companions in a low voice: "These are the purposes for casting wolf smoke when foreign enemies are found to be entering the Kou to convey military information. ”

The ruins of the ruined walls were extremely desolate, and there was not a single sergeant in sight. There were three tents behind them, and with a slight wave of Leng Ruoyan Yu's hand, the three maids immediately took action.

They split up almost at the same time, drawing their swords at the same time, and slashing through the tent at the same time!

Where the eyes fell, inside the tent, there were indeed piles of dead people's corpses.

"Looking at the clothes on their bodies, it can be determined that they are all border troops of the 'Zhennan Army' stationed here, and they have been dead for no more than an hour. ”

"They look horrible dead, either their eyes are sticking out, or their tongues are sticking out of their mouths, and maggots are coming in and out of their eyeballs and the base of their tongues, it's disgusting!"

"There was still boiled wild vegetable soup in the iron pot, most of the sergeants still had half a hard bun in their hands, there were still some bones on the table, the knife was in the sheath, and the sheath hung on the knife holder, it seemed that they died very suddenly. ”

Tang poems, Song Ci, and Yuan songs stated what they saw and thought of each other.

-- Why did these soldiers of the "Zhennan Army" who were guarding the border become so violent in the wilderness? How did they die? Who killed them? Why did they kill them? Why did they die so suddenly and so terrifyingly? What kind of powerful people could make these more than 10 soldiers of the border army die in an empty camp overnight?

"It's poisoning!" Leng Ruoyan straightened up and said affirmatively: "They have been poisoned by an extremely powerful poison." ”

Song Ci was surprised: "Could it be that Shen Zhongxia and his 'poisonous beauty' Blue Phoenix have already come here one step earlier!?"

"'Qinghua Jia'!" Tang Shi suddenly shouted as if he remembered something: "I remember, it's the 'Poison King' Tang Shao's unique poison 'Qinghua Jia'!"

When the lord and maid heard this, they felt that the mountain wind was stronger, and the night was especially cold. The barren mountains are empty, the night is crying, the valleys are secluded, and the buildings are not known whether they are human figures or ghosts?

Just when the three maids were terrified, a woman suddenly screamed and screamed, and it came from the "gentle township" flower house.

The call is critical.

The screams were terrible.

Amazing accidents always come unexpectedly at an unpredictable time.
