After putting away the ice silkworm and throwing it into the stone room, Zhao Tiancheng immediately rushed back to the way he came, and when he arrived at the place where Ah Zi had placed the Shenmu Wang Ding before, there was no longer a human figure, and the Shenmu Wang Ding also disappeared, and when he arrived at the place where the two people were resting, Zhao Tiancheng found that there was a horse missing.

"I actually ran away!" Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect Ah Zi to run away at this time, in fact, Zhao Tiancheng didn't spy on Ah Zi at the beginning, and it would be okay if she left.

Although he didn't get the Shenmu Wang Ding from Ah Zi's hand this time, it was not a waste of time to catch the ice silkworm, as long as he knew that the Shenmu Wang Ding had been carrying Ah Zi's body, it would be easy to do.

Zhao Tiancheng estimated that Ah Zi already knew that he had lied to her, otherwise Ah Zi would never have left even for the sake of his life.

Calculating the days, Qiao Feng should be about to find Duan Zhengchun, Zhao Tiancheng rested for the night, and immediately set off towards Xiaojing Lake outside Xinyang City.

But after arriving in Xinyang, Zhao Tiancheng made a difficulty, the mountains outside Xinyang City are lined with lush forests, if you don't know the route of Xiaojing Lake, you can't find it in it in a short time.

In the morning, Zhao Tiancheng began to search in the wild, and until noon, he still didn't find anything, and it was also some distance from Xinyang City.

Walk a short distance to the east and see a county town, the city wall has been somewhat dilapidated because it has not been repaired for a long time, fortunately the landscape here is beautiful, but there are many tourists who haunt it, and it is not deserted.

When he arrived at the city gate, Zhao Tiancheng saw three big characters engraved on it, "Tongbai City". There were a lot of pedestrians inside, and Zhao Tiancheng directly found a restaurant not far from the city gate to rest while drinking.

Just took a short break. Suddenly, I heard footsteps outside the door, and someone yelled loudly. Zhao Tiancheng looked down from the restaurant curiously and found a big man covered in blood on the street. Holding two plate axes in his hands, he danced and slashed wildly up and down. This big man is full of beard and beard, and his demeanor is mighty, but his eyes are scattered and he acts like crazy.

The big man was holding a pair of pure steel plate axes in his hands, which were very heavy, and the cold light flickered when they danced. And there is a degree of advance and retreat in the technique, and the law is strict between opening and closing, and it is obviously after the master.

The man made the axe faster and faster, and kept yelling: "Quick." Quick, go and tell the lord, the other party is coming to the door. ”

He stood on top of the thoroughfare, two bright axes slashing horizontally and vertically. Pedestrians stay away. Who would dare to come closer?

Zhao Tiancheng remembered that this person seemed to be a member of the Duan family in Dali, and then thought about it, wasn't Duan Zhengchun near here at this time?" This big man should know Duan Zhengchun's residence, so Zhao Tiancheng jumped down directly from the upper floor.

The big man seemed to be delirious, and when he saw the black shadow flashing above, he actually raised his axe and slashed, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Great wicked man, Hugh has to hurt my master!"

When the people around saw that this big man was really crazy and wanted to kill someone, they all shouted and quickly scattered and fled.

Zhao Tiancheng in the air. Originally, his body slammed straight into the blade of the axe, and the people in the restaurant thought that Zhao Tiancheng was going to splash blood on the spot. Unexpectedly, his body was weirdly biased in the air, moved sideways to the side, and at the same time, with a slight touch under his feet, he instantly deceived himself in front of the big man and reached out to point the acupoints on his waist.

Unexpectedly, although this man was confused, his martial arts were not lost, and the handle of the axe in his right hand turned upside down and hit Zhao Tiancheng's lower abdomen. This move was delicate and smart, if Xiao Feng hadn't been much higher than him in martial arts, he would have almost hit, and immediately his left hand rushed out, grabbing the handle of the axe and regaining it. The big man was already exhausted, how could he bear it? The whole body shook violently, and he immediately rushed towards Zhao Tiancheng and his body. He risked his life to die with his adversary.

Drawing a semicircle under his feet, Zhao Tiancheng's body just let the big man pounce, and at the same time connected the dots on the back of the big man, and the big man immediately fell to the ground, motionless like a dead man.

"Carry him to the second floor!" Zhao Tiancheng threw a piece of silver and handed it to Xiao Er, who was watching the excitement in the restaurant, and ordered.

Originally, Xiao Er didn't want to bring such a dangerous character into the restaurant, but when he saw the ingot of silver thrown by Zhao Tiancheng, he quietly put it into his arms, and hurriedly walked over and pulled the upper body of the big man into the restaurant, as for the two plate axes of the big man were still at the door of the restaurant, no one cared.

took a bowl of wine on the wine table Zhao Tiancheng directly splashed it on the big man's face, and at the same time slapped him on the back a few times, the big man seemed to have just woken up, his eyes were confused, he glanced at Zhao Tiancheng in confusion, and shouted: "Great villain, come on, come on, Lao Tzu will fight with you three hundred times."

Hey, you've hurt my lord!"

Seeing the big man struggling to get up, Zhao Tiancheng covered his forehead helplessly, what happened to a good person turned crazy, he grabbed the big man by the collar with a lightning bolt, pulled the big man up, and looked directly into the big man's eyes with dark pupils and said, "Quick! Tell me, where is your lord?"

The big man's eyes were confused for a while, and he said incoherently: "In ...... It's not good to run, the big villain is coming!"

Directly let go, regardless of the big man who fell to the ground, Zhao Tiancheng found that this person's thinking had become confused, and he couldn't remember the path to Xiaojing Lake at all.

Seeing Zhao Tiancheng bowing his head and pondering, the bartender standing on the side said, "Are you going to Xiaojing Lake?

"Where?" Zhao Tiancheng didn't expect such an unexpected discovery.

The bartender said, "If you ask others, you may not know." It happened to be me, and that's the right question. I am the person who is close to Xiaojing Lake. Things in the world are really as coincidental as they are, and this is called no coincidence without words!"

Zhao Tiancheng listened to his Rory's rambling but didn't get to the point, slammed the table, and said loudly: "Say it quickly!"

Encountering Zhao Tiancheng's eyes, Xiao Er, who originally wanted to ask for some more silver, gave Zhao Tiancheng this scare, and he didn't dare to sell Guan Zi anymore, and said: "Your grandfather's temperament is very anxious, hehe, if you don't happen to bump into me, no matter how anxious you are, then no."

It works, doesn't it?" Seeing Zhao Tiancheng's face gradually darkening, he said: "Xiaojing Lake is here in the northwest, you go all the way to the west, and after walking seven and a half miles, you will see more than a dozen big willow trees, four in a row, a total of four rows, one four to four, two four to eight, three to four twelve, four to four, a total of sixteen big willow trees, then you hurry to the north." Walk out of nine and a half miles, only to see a bluestone bridge, you must not cross the bridge, this bridge is wrong, but the bridge is not the bridge, but you have to cross, that is, you can't cross the bluestone bridge on the left, you have to cross the small wooden bridge on the right. After crossing the small bridge, one moment to the west, the other to the north, and the other to the west, in short, follow the path, you can't go wrong. After walking for twenty-one and a half miles, I saw a large lake like a mirror, and that was the Little Mirror Lake. From here, roughly speaking, it is forty miles, but in fact it is thirty-eight and a half miles, and forty miles is less. ”

Zhao Tiancheng was already confused when he heard his explanation, "This person has the qualifications to be a Tang monk!" Zhao Tiancheng didn't talk to him, and directly took out a silver ingot and said: "Now take me to Xiaojing Lake immediately! ”

Xiao Er greedily glanced at the full fifty taels of silver, originally he couldn't leave now, but thinking that if he could get this silver, he could open a restaurant by himself, so he hurriedly agreed: "Oh! Guest officer, you are too polite! Let's go!" he said and threw the white cloth on his shoulder directly on the ground, and walked out first.

"Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind!" was originally a Tang monk, but now it has become so efficient, Zhao Tiancheng immediately chased after him, holding the back collar of the man in one hand, and said, "Don't scream!"

The little two were carried by Zhao Tiancheng, only feeling that the scenery in front of him was retreating rapidly, as if he was riding the clouds and fog, and he also forgot Zhao Tiancheng's previous reminder, shouting that this was "enjoyable".

After leaving the city, I went all the way to the west, and after walking seven or eight miles, I saw that there were four trees in a row next to the avenue, a total of 4416 big willow trees, and Xiao Er kept shouting: "Guest officer!

Zhao Tiancheng ignored him, because he had already seen a farmer sitting against a tree under one of the willow trees from a distance, with his feet immersed in the muddy water in the ditch next to the tree. It was a common sight in the countryside, but the farmer had blood on half of his cheek and a shiny cooked copper rod on his shoulder.

Zhao Tiancheng threw Xiao Er directly on the ground, walked quickly to the farmer's side, heard his heavy panting, and knew that he should have suffered serious internal injuries.

Seeing that blood was constantly oozing from his chest, Zhao Tiancheng opened his clothes and saw that there was a hole in his chest, although it was only the size of a finger, it was extremely deep.

"It turned out to be the technique of a yang finger, could it be Duan Yanqing?" At the same time, he reached out and tapped a few times to help the farmer stop the bleeding.

The farmer had already been unconscious, but at this time he suddenly came to his senses, fortunately, he was not as delirious as the big man before, and thanked: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for your rescue! If Your Excellency can go to Xiaojing Lake to deliver the letter, there will be a good reward in the future." ”

This person didn't care about his injuries at all, but cared about the safety of the lord, Zhao Tiancheng said with admiration: "Don't worry!"

"When you arrive at the shore of Xiaojing Lake, you can see that there is a bamboo forest in the west of the lake, the bamboo poles are square, and there are several bamboo houses in the bamboo forest. Nodding his head, Zhao Tiancheng took the little second and continued to hurry. (To be continued......)
