Half a month later.

On the edge of the gate of Yuanning City, an unkempt figure gradually approached, it was Qiu Yan who had left the mountain.

He went towards the gate, but before he could reach the gate, he was stopped by the guards of the city.

"Stop!" the soldier came with a long stick in hand, "If you encounter bandits, refugees are not allowed to enter the city, go to the refugee shed on the south side to report their names, and they can receive a bowl of porridge." ”

"Bandit refugees?" Qiu Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with thought, and he straightened up and saluted, "This soldier brother, Xiaosheng is a student who returned from a trip, and he met a robber on the way, and his belongings were taken away, and he came back with great difficulty." ”

"Returning students?" the soldier was stunned, "not from the village in the south?"

Hearing the word "southern village", Qiu Yan squinted slightly, shook his head and said, "No." ”

The soldiers looked him up and down a few times, and saw that although Qiu Yan was covered in rags and covered with dust, after a closer look, his eyebrows and eyes were clear, and his posture was straight, so he believed a little, but he still asked as usual: "Is there any proof?"

"Yes. Qiu Yan nodded, "Xiaosheng's uncle is in charge of Pan Yuanwai's house in the city, and he will find out when he asks." ”

"The steward of Pan Yuan's foreign family?" Hearing this, the soldier's name took a breath, and then said with a pleasant face, "Since it is Pan Yuan's foreign family, it should not be faked, I will send someone to send my son over." After speaking, he turned his head and shouted, and a man came over, listened to the soldiers' orders, and led Qiu Yan into the city.

The moment he entered the city, the roll of green shirt in Qiu Yan's hand trembled slightly, and a different color flashed on his face.

The person who led the way was a splash in the city, the best at observing words and feelings, talking and laughing all the way, and Qiu Yan was like an old friend for many years, and soon arrived at a big mansion.

The high-walled courtyard, the red lacquered gate, and the plaque on the door are written with two big characters.

Pan House.

"When I arrive, please call the steward out, and I'll be able to reply when I go back." ”

Qiu Yan nodded, he knew that this person was an informant, and the soldier was responsible for his duties and could not leave without permission, so he asked people to come over, saying that it was a guard, but in fact, it was to monitor and prevent fraud.

Coincidentally, at this time, there was a sound on the side of the road, Qiu Yan listened to it, his face was happy, and he turned around and said, "Cousin, it's a coincidence, I just happened to meet you." ”

It was a man of about thirty years old, dressed in a straight shirt, slightly hunched over, with a respectful face, who was talking to a young man of fifteen or sixteen beside him.

Hearing Qiu Yan's words, the man had not yet answered, the young man looked at the two people blocking the door and frowned, his face was uncertain: "Who are you, blocking in front of my house?" As he spoke, he glanced at Qiu Yan with a disgusted face, "If you want food, go to other places to ask for food!"

"This young man, what a crazy tone!"

Qiu Yan's eyelids jumped, and the other party's high-minded tone really made him unhappy, whether in his previous life or in this life, it was rare to be reprimanded in person, but when he thought of his current appearance, his heart gradually calmed down.

"This man is not very old, and he has a domineering arrogance, which should be caused by habitual maintenance. ”

The leader bowed and bowed, and said with a smile: "Third Young Master Pan, villain Wang Qiao'er, say hello to the young master, we are here this time, we are leading this son, he said that he has a relationship with the housekeeper......"

"Which steward?" Third Young Master Pan saw Wang Qiao'er saluting, his face was slightly pale, and he glanced at Qiu Yan again, "There are so many stewards in the house......

At this moment, the man next to him stepped forward and asked with some uncertainty, "Could it be Qiu Yan's cousin?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Qiao'er beside Qiu Yan rolled his eyes and remembered his name in his heart.

Third Young Master Pan turned his head and glanced at him: "Liu Yue, do you know this person?"

The man named Liu Yue glanced at Qiu Yan carefully at this time, and the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it, and just as he was about to speak, Qiu Yan had already stepped forward to greet him.

"It's really your relative, how did you get it to look like this?" Seeing this, Third Young Master Pan became more and more unhappy, he waved his hand, "Okay, hurry up and take it back to your house, don't block it here, let people see it, and lose the reputation of my Pan Mansion!"

"Yes! Yes, let's go, let's go, I hope the young master won't be surprised, my cousin, there have been some changes in the family recently......" He was about to distinguish, but the third young master Pan had no intention of listening, urging Liu Yue to take people away.

Although Liu Yue is not a slave of Panfu, he signed a long-term job, and his father also works in the house, and the family is sent to Panfu, so he does not dare to disobey his orders, so he only leads Qiu Yan away.

Seeing this, Wang Qiao'er said hello to Third Young Master Pan again, and then left.

He walked all the way, and returned to the city gate after half a cup of tea, and when the soldiers guarding the city saw it, they smiled and said: "Look at you like this, that kid shouldn't be lying, but just in case, you still have to report your name, check your household registration, and know your recent whereabouts." ”

Beside him, a gray-clad official held up a pen and paper.

"What Li Ye said is, but that kid is slippery, and the villain knocked on the side along the way, and he didn't reveal his name, but fortunately, Zuihou still let me find a flaw......"

"Don't talk nonsense," Li Ye interrupted, "Just say the name." ”

"Yes, the man's name is ...... Called...... ...... "Wang Qiao'er was originally full of smiles, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say her name, Zuihou frowned sadly, and looked like she was trying to remember.

"What's wrong? What is it called?" the soldier surnamed Li was impatient.

"This ......" Wang Qiao'er smiled bitterly, "The villain actually forgot!"

"Just like that, you forgot about it!" The soldier surnamed Li raised his hand and slapped Wang Qiao'er in the face.

In the crisp sound, Wang Qiao'er told him again and again: "Li Ye is not angry, Li Ye is not angry!" He retreated as he spoke, and there were also some splashes in the distance, all of whom were called by the soldiers to help, and they each daxiao when they saw this.

Wang Qiao'er took a few steps back, bowed her head and said nothing, her eyes showing resentment.

It's just that no one noticed that in his left ear, a little white light was gradually dissipating.

..................

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance, and I passed with a trace of divine power. If you talk about erasing memories, with my current ability, it is absolutely impossible, but it is not difficult to confuse shallow memories and make them defective. ”

Qiu Yan had arrived at Liu Yue's house at this time.

Liu Yue's home is a yard, one door, three sides of the house, surrounded by a courtyard, Qiu Yan holding a small basin, rinsing at the corner, half a month's trip, even if the muscles and bones are not tired, but it is inevitable that the wind and dust are served, and the body is full of dirt, after this washing, there is a refreshing feeling.

After a simple rinse, he changed into coarse cloth clothes, and Qiu Yan first took the green shirt, which was still attached to his deity.

"However, now it is only a stopgap measure, the soldiers guarding the gate actually intercept the refugees, and it seems that they are only targeting the villages in the south, as I expected, I am afraid that it will ......"

After packing up their things, Qiu Yan's aunt and sister-in-law had already made a simple meal and beckoned Qiu Yan to sit down.

"For today's plan, we must first improve our strength, and the other is to find out the foundation of the King of Tongshan. To improve your strength, in addition to finding the method of sexual cultivation and life cultivation in the mouth of the crow demon, the easiest way is Shinto. ”

While eating, Qiu Yan's eyes fell on the bundle of green shirts on the table.

"Shinto seems to be mysterious, but I have been a mountain god for decades, and I have some experience, and what I lack is nothing more than incense and wishing. Lian Yuanshan can't go back for the time being, even if he can go back, with the position of the broken mountain god, it is difficult to accumulate much divine power, and it is not enough to protect himself, let alone improve his strength, he must think of a way to open up a new situation, when I entered the city just now, I clearly felt ......"

Qiu Yan was thinking to himself, when there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Yan'er is really back, God has eyes......"

The voice came, and then I saw an old man over half a hundred years old enter the room.

The old man was dressed in a dark blue coat, with the hem slightly flipped, presumably because he was in a hurry, and his feet were belted.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Qiu Yan who was eating, so he went straight over.

Seeing this, Qiu Yan stood up and was about to make a move, but before the person could stand firmly, the old man had already come to him and patted him on the shoulder, the other party looked at Qiu Yan carefully, and nodded again and again: "It's really Yan'er, it's really Yan'er!"

"Father, I said it all, my cousin is fine......" Outside the door, Liu Yue stepped in and complained.

"Are you so breathless?" the old man turned his head and reprimanded, "I heard that the thieves invaded the border, and several villages in the south were slaughtered, I thought that Yan'er was also killed by the thieves, and now that he has returned safely, how can he calm down?"

This old man is Qiu Yan's predecessor's uncle, Liu Huai.

On the other side, Qiu Yan also captured a very key message from the other party's words-

"Thieves and soldiers are in the world? Obviously, monsters slaughter villages and eat people, how did they get here, but they became thieves and soldiers? Where did the thieves come from?"
