During the subsequent processing of the bodies of Zhao Xiang and others, Lin Manliu and the others slowly walked up behind them.
It was Meijiu Lang who was chasing the spies alone. Everyone looked over after hearing the sound and found some slight blood stains on his body.
Huan Yunxia asked aloud: "How?"
Plum wine man said: "Dead..."
Previously, he followed the spy closely in Yuanshui County until the spy entered a hidden courtyard, and then the man walked out again soon after.
But when he was about to follow him again, he saw the spy walking into a deep alley very deliberately.
To avoid losing track of his target, he had no choice but to follow him into the alley.
As a result, the spy noticed him in advance and wanted to kill him in the alley.
At the beginning, he still had something to hold on to, ready to find the right moment to capture him.
Unexpectedly, the man found that he could not defeat the enemy, but instead fought with his life and forced him to die.
The two of them exchanged moves several times. After he removed one of the other's arms, before he could continue to take action, the spy actually hit the wall next to him.
Everyone looked a little solemn as they listened to Meijiu Lang's retelling of what happened in the city.
Lin Manliu said: "The spy is hiding in the Miao village and must have other plans. Xia Nuxia must be careful when she returns to the Miao village..."
Xia Xin responded: "Well, I will definitely report this matter to the elders when I return to the village!"
Plum Wine Man looked at the boy in a short shirt and asked, "What are your plans next?"
Lin Manliu said: "It won't take long for the Yanyang Army to notice the death of these people. The two of us must get out of the customs as soon as possible and head west!"
While dealing with the corpses and the armor, I heard Jiang Yanlin whisper about the previous encounter.
He said that he had met all three of them, including Zhao Xiang, on the mountain road.
Lin Manliu estimated the time, and it happened to be when the Liaoyuan Army had been marching south for a period of time, and they had just set off westward.
For the boy in a short shirt, there is another kind of guess.
The others were not sure, but Zhao Xiang and the soldier who was killed in the end definitely did not go south with the Liaoyuan Army.
Along the way, maybe no one had reunited with the Liaoyuan Army going south except for the snake cave in the barren mountain. They must have been searching for Jiang Yanlin everywhere.
In this case, their situation is relatively safe, not too bad.
Plum Wine Man nodded and said: "Indeed, if you don't leave the seclusion now, when the Yanyang military is alert, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape from the Sword Gate."
Lin Manliu faced everyone, cupped his fists and saluted.
"Today's kindness will be unforgettable for the rest of my life. I still have important things to do, so I have to continue traveling north. I hope you can forgive me."
Huan Yunxia raised her eyes and looked away with a look of disgust on her face, as if she didn't want to talk to the boy.
"I don't know if I'm learning from Lu Fengbai or Ye Dangting. I just know how to talk about these things all day long, and then trouble others to do things..."
The boy in a short shirt looked a little embarrassed when he saw this.
"Learned everything...a little bit?"
This explanation made Yunxia angry even more.
I saw this strange woman whom Lin Manliu respectfully called "Senior" looking at the young man with an annoyed look on her face.
She raised a finger and poked Lin Manliu directly in the forehead.
"I think you are young, so of course I will help you, but next time I see you... you will just imitate the two of them in their pretentious tricks, to see if I recognize you as a junior?"
Lin Manliu hurriedly smiled and then dealt with Yunxia's return.
Seeing this scene, Meijiu Lang shook his head helplessly, while Xia Xin and Shen Muchao hid their faces and smiled.
Although sometimes I look at this boy in a short shirt, he looks like a little adult, considering and analyzing everything.
But if you put aside all his experiences and his goals, you will still find that he is just that young man after all.
Perhaps this is what young men should do, because of the pressure caused by the world and the exhaustion caused by thoughts, these things should not appear to them prematurely.
On this long road of life, their story has just begun.
Even if they still have to endure the wear and tear of the world and their thoughts, they should not let them lose or forget the beautiful scenery on the road.
The rivers flowing in the mountains and fields, the trivial things in the market, the deep affection and meaning in the words of friends.
They should have the opportunity to keep these scenery in their hearts.
...
After a few chats, Lin Manliu was ready to say goodbye to everyone.
But he found that Shen Mu blinked at him, and the boy in short shirt could only give him a questioning look.
The former said: "I have discussed with Miss Xia Xin and plan to visit the Miao Village again when I have time!"
Lin Man said in six words: "Then Nuxia Shen has already decided where to go?"
Shen Muchao shook his head, and then looked at the boy in a short shirt.
“I haven’t thought about it yet, why don’t we just continue on the same journey?”
Just as Lin Manliu was about to open his mouth to persuade, Huan Yunxia interrupted him.
"Do you think Miss Shen is a burden on the way back? Or do you think she will be a drag on others? If she hadn't arrived in time today, how could you two be so peaceful?"
The boy in short shirt was silent for a moment and looked at Shen Muchao again.
He said: "Then I'd like to thank Nuxia Shen for her kindness..."
Shen Muchao waved his hand and said: "No need to thank you, I'm going to visit my great mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful..."
Jiang Yanlin immediately answered: "Brother Liu and I can run away to the end of the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Manliu's dark face.
"Yan Lin, even if it's really hard, that's not what you said..."
"Brother Liu, I was wrong!"
After Jiang Yanlin shouted, he immediately put his head in his hands and hid behind the horse.
The originally slightly tense atmosphere, after Huan Yunxia's "preaching" and Jiang Yanlin's impromptu "playing tricks", made everyone present feel much more relaxed.
Lin Manliu suddenly remembered something and looked at Huan Yunxia again.
Seeing the young man's gaze, the latter stopped spinning the bamboo flute in his hand.
"But what else do you want to ask?"
The boy in a short shirt said: "Senior should... know about the old liar's broken veins, right?"
"I know, not everyone is aware of what was said earlier. They all said that Ye Dang's listening skills were not as good as others, and he was able to use all his dirty tricks, but he was still defeated..."
"Then senior, does he have a clue..."
"It can't be saved, don't even think about it!"
"Okay...Thank you, senior..."
Although Senior Sister Jiang had told him before on the way westward, when he saw Huan Yunxia today, he still wanted to ask.
Xia Xin watched the conversation between the two and understood what the young man wanted, so she could only sigh.
There are rumors in ancient times that Bai Miao medical skills can regenerate human flesh and bones.
But now in the Miao village, none of the pharmacopoeia they have access to, or the secret method of fighting poison with poison, can achieve these effects.
So she herself felt that these ancient records were just rumors and should not be taken seriously.
When the reunion finally came to an end, Lin Manliu and the others said goodbye to Huan Yunxia and others, and continued heading north.
On this mountain trail, there were soon only the backs of three people and two riding away, because Huan Yunxia and the others also needed to evacuate this place as soon as possible.
During the subsequent three people's journey, Lin Manliu and Jiang Yanlin rode a horse together, while Shen Muchao rode the horse brought by Plum Wine Man just now.
The traveling speed was not slow, but in just three days, they quickly crossed the Lizhou City area around the mountain road.
According to Lin Manliu's wishes, Fengcheng would not sneak in again. This time, he would go directly north from the mountains.
Lin Manliu had already made plans for the future.
For dried fruit food, use fruits and game along the way instead.
Adhering to Lin Manliu's philosophy when they went south, take less if you can, and fight more if you can.
After all, roasted rabbit always smells more oily than fruits and vegetables.
As for places to rest, you can only choose some mountain forests with wide views, or those mountain temples.
As long as they pay homage to the immortal master supported by the temple, they will definitely be allowed to stay overnight!
Jiang Yanlin was convinced when he heard it, while Shen Muchao was used to hearing these words of worship, so he didn't think much about it.
As for Lin Manliu who said these words, he didn't believe in these ghosts and gods. Anyway, it was a good place to take shelter from the rain and wind and have a good rest.
While resting in the mountains and forests, Jiang Yanlin recalled Brother Liu's problem.
He moved slightly closer to Lin Manliu, and his subtle movements made the young man in a short shirt, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, look at him.
Lin Manliu said softly: "What's wrong with Yanlin?"
Jiang Yanlin did not speak immediately, but carefully glanced in the direction of Shen Muchao.
The latter was already keeping vigil, so he naturally noticed Jiang Yanlin's gaze.
Shen Muchao said, "I'm going to walk around, you two, keep an eye out..."
Lin Manliu responded and began to wait for Jiang Yanlin's next words.
"Brother Liu, the question I heard from you and that senior earlier was related to Master Ye's broken pulse?"
"Well, he failed in a sword duel before and had his right hand tendon amputated..."
"So far, there is no possibility of reconnecting the veins?"
"When I was young, I heard rumors from my hometown that the Miao people's medical skills in the Miao village could kill people with flesh and bones, so I had the idea of asking that senior..."
Jiang Yanlin had never heard of these things before because of the lack of information.
His face was a little shocked at first, then turned to regret, and finally turned to determination.
He looked at Lin Manliu firmly, and the boy in short shirt felt a little confused and confused about his expression.
Jiang Yanlin said: "Although I don't want to recall it, Yanlin still remembers reading a book in the imperial city..."
The classics in the Xijing Imperial City?
Lin Manliu didn't say anything immediately, but his expression became serious.
Jiang Yanlin continued: "That classic records that since the unification of the north and the south in Yanyang, the burial objects that emperors of all dynasties had to send to their mausoleums together with them when they returned to their mausoleums..."
"There is a medicine among them, which is said to have been obtained by the old dynasty of Shu. It can revive the dead and summon the souls of the dead..."
How similar is this statement to the rumors I heard in my childhood?
Lin Manliu said: "What Yanlin means, that medicine may be the secret medicine of the ancient Miao village?"
Jiang Yanlin nodded and said no more.
When the boy in short shirt heard the news, he was silent for a long time.
How could he break into the Yanyang Emperor's Mausoleum?
