Above the wilderness, there is a huge mountain.
Its mountains are towering and continuous to the left and right, like a huge wall blocking people's way.
Here is the Two Boundary Mountains.
Between the two boundary mountains, there is a canyon, which is the main route from east to west and the only way to Lanling City.
In the afternoon of this day, four figures came along the dusty road.
"After passing the Liangjie Mountain, we will reach the boundary of Lanling City!"
The leader of the old man fell down.
The three companions also slowed down.
A young man, eighteen or nineteen years old, was wearing a common robe, swinging his big sleeves, with a look of tiredness on his face. He raised his eyes and said worriedly, "I wonder if Uncle Mo is here..."
The other two women, one tall and pretty, the other wearing men's clothing and a face mask, each said in a voice——
"If we can't see Master Uncle Mo and his fellow disciples, you and I will have no choice but to go straight to Lanling City!"
"What Senior Sister Che said makes sense, Lanling City is two hundred miles away and can be reached today!"
"Junior brother and two junior sisters, please be patient. When we get to the place, we'll talk about it again—"
The old man raised his hand and continued walking forward.
This was Leng Chen, Che Ju, Bai Zhi and Yu Ye. The four of them left Hengshui Post, rested for one night on the way, and arrived here four days later.
As for whether he will see Mo Xiao and other fellow disciples, he will know immediately.
A moment.
The canyon is right in front of you.
Although the mountains on both sides of the canyon are hundreds of feet high and the cliffs are towering, they are more than ten feet wide in the middle, with a flat avenue running across it from west to east.
Leng Chen took Che Ju and Bai Zhi into the canyon.
Yu Ye fell a few steps behind, looking around.
Once deep into unpredictable places, he is like a lone wolf, cautious and suspicious. This is a habit that Orion has developed since he was a child, and it is also a lesson he has learned through countless hardships. Even so, he will still inevitably suffer losses and be deceived in the future. Because he is walking on a path that goes against heaven, with dangers everywhere, thorns at every step, and an unpredictable future.
Just as they entered the canyon, a figure appeared in front of them.
He is a strong man in his thirties.
"Senior Brother Leng——"
"Junior Brother Bian!"
It's Bian Ji!
Bian Ji waved his hand and said in a loud voice: "Thank you for your hard work, come with me——."
The four of them followed him forward without knowing what was going on.
After leaving the canyon, there is a small forest not far away. There were more than a dozen horses tied up by the forest, and two strange men carrying long swords were on alert.
Yu Ye followed into the forest.
There were more than ten people sitting on the grass in the forest, including Lu Zheng, Chen Qi, Gu Muzi, Ming Ye, Pu Tong, Mo Xiao, and two other strange men.
When students meet, they raise their hands to greet each other.
Two strange men also stood up to greet them, and then heard Mo Xiao say: "Ge Xuan, a disciple of Yunchuan Peak God Qitang, has been sent to Lanling City for many years, and now he is a disciple of the Young Master's Mansion; Yao Shen, a disciple of the Young Master's Mansion The steward. I will follow their instructions and leave for Lanling City tomorrow morning. Leng Chen..."
Ge Xuan is middle-aged, with fair complexion, well-dressed, three locks of black beard under his chin, and a smile on his face. He looks like a businessman who makes money by being friendly, but he is actually a disciple of the Immortal Sect, a master at the eighth or ninth level of Qi refining.
How many years has he been assigned to Lanling City?
Yao Shen, in his forties, dressed in black clothes, is strong, smart and capable.
Leng Chen walked to Mo Xiao and sat down, everyone should have something to say;
Che Ju walked towards Bian Ji and Lu Zheng, while Bai Zhi, Chen Qi and Gu Muzi came together. Both parties also have doubts and urgently need questions or answers.
Yu Ye walked around in the forest and found a piece of grass to sit down.
Except for the Xianmen disciples and the three people from Lanling City, no one else was seen. There were twelve disciples who were traveling with him, and now there are only ten left. Where did the other two go?
Yu Ye took out the spirit stone and put it in his palm, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mo Xiao was safe and sound, and so were many of his fellow disciples. Let's wait and see what happens next. Now Lanling City has sent people to respond, indicating that there is no danger here. Let's rest here for the night and rush to Lanling City tomorrow.
Yu Ye glanced back.
Bai Zhi was talking to Chen Qi and Gu Muzi, and Ming Ye was also among them. The guy was chatting and laughing, as if nothing was wrong.
"snort!"
Yu Ye snorted secretly and closed his eyes.
The journey of five thousand miles took more than twenty days. After being attacked twice, we finally arrived at Liangjie Mountain. Lanling City is the capital of Qi State. Even if Qi Zhuang Lord and Chu Yuan want to do bad things, they should be cautious. However, why did Yunchuan Xianmen insist on interfering in the dispute over Qi's sovereignty? As the saying goes, it’s not early to get started if you don’t have any benefits. Many years ago, Yunchuan Immortal Sect had sent disciples to sneak into Lanling City, and the matter became increasingly complicated...
It's getting late.
Yao Shen ordered his entourage to bring food to share with everyone. The two men holding swords were his entourage, and they were said to be the guards of the Young Master's Mansion.
Yu Ye, still sitting alone in the darkness.
Leng Chen came over with two pieces of braised pork and a jar of wine. He placed the braised pork in front of Yu Ye, turned around and sat down, but was reluctant to let go of the wine jar.
Yu Ye opened his eyes from sitting quietly, calmed down, picked up the braised pork, took a bite, and reached out to grab the wine jar.
Leng Chen complained: "Hey, I want to keep it as a collection..."
Yu Ye just ate meat and drank wine.
Leng Chen smelled the aroma of the wine, with an intoxicated look on his face, then shook his head and said, "I have reported truthfully. According to Mo Xiao, my wife is not Ming Ye..."
Yu Ye had already swallowed two pieces of braised pork.
It’s been a long time since I tasted fireworks, and my mouth is already hungry. The braised pork delivered by Yao Shen was extremely delicious and left people wanting more.
Yu Ye wiped the grease from his hands and looked at Leng Chen in shock.
After the attack on Hengshui Station, he told the truth about Chu Yuan's origin, hoping to tell Mo Xiao through Leng Chen and take the opportunity to get rid of that guy Ming Ye.
And Ming Ye is not the wife?
"After Mo Xiao broke up with you and me, he caught up with Bian Ji and other five disciples at Hengshui Station. He unexpectedly learned that Pu Tong and others were attacked, so he hurried to Liangjie Mountain, so he did not leave any secret notes. After arriving here, I only saw Pu Tingtong. It is said that he and his two junior brothers were attacked when they left Hengshui Post. Jing Fu and Xue Bao were killed. Only he escaped by chance. He also suspected that there was a concubine among the fellow disciples who were on the trip. Waiting for Bian Ji Mo Xiao and his four junior brothers arrived soon after, and Mo Xiao then interrogated them one by one. They learned from Bian Ji and Lu Zheng that they were ordered to monitor Ming Ye, but they did not find any flaws along the way, thus helping him to clear away the suspicion... …”
Yu Ye grabbed the wine jar and drank silently.
No wonder there were two disciples missing. It turned out that they were attacked and killed on the way. Wanshou Manor and Xuanling Sect only wanted to avenge him in the wilderness, so why did they intercept and kill other disciples? But this time when they were traveling separately, the two groups of disciples were attacked, but only Ming Ye and the other five were safe. Isn't this worthy of suspicion?
What does the so-called surveillance under orders mean?
"The Immortal Sect has already taken measures to deal with the incident involving my concubine, such as changing paths, changing clothes, assigning trusted disciples to monitor fellow sects, etc. However, accidents happen frequently and changes occur one after another. It is difficult to predict them all..."
"Senior Brother Leng, you can be considered a trusted disciple, right?"
"Hmph, if I have such intention, why should I gossip with you?"
"Who is it that attacked Senior Brother Pu Tong?"
"It is said that they are two masters of foundation building. Their appearance is unclear and their origin is unknown. And Mo Xiao asked me to tell you not to have any unreasonable suspicions. Xuanling Sect and Ten Thousand Beast Manor may have enemies with you, but the ones they are dealing with this time may not be you……"
Yu Ye spit out the breath of wine and put down the wine jar.
Leng Chen actually picked up the empty wine jar, sniffed it, threw it out, then pulled his beard, shook his head and laughed at himself.
Yu Ye closed his eyes.
Didn't Chu Yuan and Master Qi come to the wilderness for him, and wasn't Ming Ye the daughter-in-law who sneaked into the immortal sect?
He really disagreed with what Mo Xiao said...
The night passed.
Dawn is coming.
In the morning light, Yao Shen's entourage brought two boxes.
Inside the box are more than twenty sets of robes and boots, all of which are of luxurious quality and beautifully sewn. There are also girdles and other clothing, as well as a brand made of thirteen pieces of gold.
Everyone gathered together.
Then I heard Mo Xiao say: "From now on, I will be responsible for the worship of the Young Master's Mansion. You are the guards of the Young Master's Mansion, please change the clothes of the guards!"
Yao Shen on the side cupped his hands and said apologetically: "This is an expedient measure, it is nothing more than a cover-up, but it has wronged all the immortals. I apologize in advance!"
Ge Xuan smiled and said separately: "Lanling City is the capital of the city and has many rules. Since you and I are part of the world, we should follow the rules."
Immortal disciples actually act as bodyguards for mortals?
Chen Qi, Gu Muzi and other disciples were quite surprised, but since the matter was at this point, it was not convenient to ask any more questions, so they each chose two sets of clothes.
Yu Ye also took the clothes and gold medal, turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
After a while, the disciples who had changed their clothes returned one after another. Even Leng Chen, Che Ju, and Bai Zhi also changed into black robes.
Mo Xiao, Ge Xuan and Yao Shenshang were waiting there.
But I saw a young man walking from the crowd, wearing a black silk robe, a black silk ribbon tied around his waist, and a gold medal hanging on it. He stared at a pair of black soft animal skin boots at his feet, raising his hands and feet. It's very free and elegant. In particular, his thick eyebrows are as sharp as a knife, his eyes are focused, and his cheeks are angular, which adds to his impressive demeanor. It's just that his bun is a little fluffy and messy, and he has his head lowered and a smile on his lips, making him look casual. But precisely because of this, he gained a wild and unruly aura.
Yao Shen's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "How noble is this immortal? What is his honorific title?"
Everyone looked at the sound.
The Immortal Chief Yao spoke of was still looking at the robe he was wearing and patting the gold medal around his waist, seeming to be enjoying himself and not paying attention to anyone else.
Mo Xiao spoke out: "Yu Ye, don't be rude!"
"ah……"
Only then did Yu Ye realize that when Manager Yao spoke to him, he didn't mean to be rude. He had never worn such luxurious clothes before, so he couldn't help but find it strange and interesting.
"I am in the wild, I am nineteen this year."
"The little fairy is so young!"
Yao Shen said in disbelief: "Excuse me, I wonder what the immortal's magical powers are like?"
"this……"
Yu Ye looked at his classmates present and didn't know how to respond.
Mo Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Yu Ye's cultivation is not inferior to that of his senior brother!"
"That's good!"
Yao Shen nodded and said: "The age of Mr. Yu is similar to that of my young master, and he is very capable, but there is one missing person..." He looked at the disciples of the Immortal Sect present, pointed at Ming Ye, and signaled to Mo Xiao: "Senior Mo, the Immortal Chief is also young and very talented. Can he and I serve as the Young Master's personal bodyguards?"
Mo Xiao agreed: "Yes, just follow what Manager Yao said!"
Yu Ye was at a loss and couldn't help but turn dark...
