Heavy snow fell continuously for many days. Leng Linjiang was trapped in the Fifth Beacon and could not get out. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, spinning around. Fortunately, Helian Wenyuan was with him. In just a few days, the two Two people with similar personalities turned out to be close friends.
Xu Xiangli was on tenterhooks all day, staring at Leng Linjiang without even blinking, fearing that Leng Linjiang, his ancestor, would go crazy and go hunting like Xie Mengxia, and then be snatched away by a wolf like Xie Mengxia. Then he didn't even cry.
After finally surviving the snow, Leng Linjiang couldn't sit still anymore. Looking at the bright sky, he howled loudly: "Helian, Helian, hurry up, the snow has stopped, pack up quickly, let's set off for the journey." Mohe Yanqi is gone."
Helian Wenyuan replied loudly: "Okay, sir, I will make arrangements right away."
This incredible news reached Xu Xiangli's ears. He was so frightened that he didn't have time to change his leather boots. He casually stepped on a pair of cloth shoes and rushed into the inn. He smiled bitterly and persuaded Leng Linjiang: "Sir, although the snow has stopped, there is still snow outside. It’s very cold and we can’t go to Mohe Yanqi.”
Leng Linjiang smiled nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? I'll just wear more and thicker clothes." With a wave of his hand, he was about to lead everyone over the mountain.
Xu Xiangli was heart-broken after slapping Leng Linjiang to death, but he had evil intentions but no courage. He could only kneel down on the ground, hugged Leng Linjiang's legs, and almost cried: "My lord, my lord." , you can’t go, if you have any shortcomings, you may not survive.”
Leng Linjiang babbled a few times, then knelt down, shamelessly hugging Xu Xiangli's legs, and pretended to cry: "Guard Xu, if you don't let me go out to find A Yao, I won't be able to survive."
When the garrison delivering the message hurriedly broke into the inn, what they saw was this strange and unbearable look.
A Shaoyin and a garrison officer were kneeling and hugging each other's thighs, facing each other.
He was so shocked that his chin nearly dropped to the ground. He opened his mouth and was stunned for a long time. Then he held his chin and stuttered: "Garrison, garrison officer, your lord."
Xu Xiangli was a thin-skinned person, but he was so proud that he let go of Leng Linjiang's legs, stood up, and said seriously: "Ahem, sir, you have to eat the food before leaving. I see you are dizzy." ."
However, Leng Linjiang was a shameless man. He was so shameless that he hugged Xu Xiangli's legs and refused to let go: "Guard Xu, just have mercy on me. If you don't let me go to A Yao, I won't get up. I won't die." stand up."
"..." Xu Xiangli was speechless. He stared at Leng Linjiang with his mouth agape, suddenly feeling a strong sense of powerlessness, a feeling of shameless powerlessness against being thin-skinned.
"Um, Officer Xu, Master Leng." The garrison who came to report the news said with difficulty: "A message came from Xingxingxia, saying that His Highness the King of Han and Major Ambassador Han are back. If everything goes well, they can arrive at the Fifth Beacon tomorrow. ”
"really!"
Leng Linjiang and Xu Xiangli asked in unison.
The garrison handed the letter to Xu Xiangli respectfully, and said solemnly: "This is the letter."
Xu Xiangli looked at the letter, suddenly raised his eyelids, and glanced at the garrison: "What's your expression? You were also picked up by a wolf?"
The garrison looked at Leng Linjiang, who was still sitting on the ground, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, no."
Xu Xiangli breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter: "Great, Brother Han and his team are back."
Leng Linjiang stood up in excitement, grabbed the letter and read it quickly. He patted his thigh and said with a smile, "That's great, that's great. I said bad guys live for a thousand years. How can A Yao die?"
"..." Xu Xiangli opened his mouth, his words were clearly concerned, but why did they sound so like donkey liver and lungs.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the news about Han Changmu and his party, this living ancestor would not bother anymore.
Who would have thought that just as he was halfway relieved, Leng Linjiang startled him by saying, "Guard Xu, I'm going to pick them up."
"..." Xu Xiangli closed his eyes.
He thought, is it too late for him to faint now?
He tried his best to put on a smile: "They will be back tomorrow morning. Let me go with the adults to pick them up early tomorrow morning."
Leng Linjiang stamped his feet: "No, I can't wait any longer."
After saying that, he led the people regardless, whipped his horse and rushed outside the fort gate.
Xu Xiangli stared dumbfounded as a streak of yellow sand rolled away. His whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. He turned around and saw that Helian Wenyuan had not moved. He shouted angrily: "Helian, Why are you still standing there, why don't you follow him, I tell you, if Lord Leng is also grabbed by a wolf, I, I, I will throw you into the wolf's den."
Helian Wenyuan came to his senses, shouted, got on his horse, and galloped away.
After a few snows, all the beacons began to lack food and clothing, and the same was true for Shuangquan Beacon. Guardsman Zhu Rong ran around outside for a long time, and finally asked for a few carts of food, drink and clothing. In the twilight, , pulled the car back to the fort.
The garrison soldiers all set up a big pot, slaughtered a sheep, and cooked hot mutton soup. It was as lively and noisy as the Chinese New Year.
Zhu Rong sat in the fort, silently flipping through a book, his tall body casting a mountain-like shadow on the wall.
Suddenly there was the sound of soft footsteps outside the garrison. A garrison walked into the garrison, bowed and saluted: "Guardian, someone wants to see you."
Zhu Rong hurriedly raised his head, was stunned for a moment and said, "Bring him in."
The man followed behind the garrison, with a hood on his head. His dark cloak was covered with a thin layer of night frost, making him look extremely cold.
Zhu Rong shrank his eyes, waved his hand, and drove away all the garrison troops.
The man reached out and took off his hood, and it turned out to be Zhou Wuhen, the Water Saint who had escaped from Luntai City. She sat opposite Zhu Rong and poured herself a drink: "Find me a place to stay, something safer."
Zhu Rong nodded with a solemn expression: "Are you exposed?"
Zhou Wuhen sneered: "It's not exposed, it's all within the plan. It's just that I have to hide for a while and do a complete show."
Zhu Rong refilled Zhou Wuhen's cup of hot tea and asked, "Did Han Changmu believe what you said?"
Zhou Wuhen raised his eyebrows: "He is very thoughtful. He won't believe everything, but he won't disbelieve it either." She paused slightly, then suddenly frowned and said in confusion: "I always feel that Han Changmu's attitude is a bit strange."
Zhu Rong was surprised: "What's wrong? Something's wrong."
Zhou Wuhen leaned forward slightly: "You were a close confidant of the First Master back then. Are you sure that the princess escaped after the First Master was killed?"
Zhu Rong nodded firmly: "The situation at that time was that the First Master was killed, the Young Master was imprisoned, and everyone in the family lost their lives in the hands of the Beiya Imperial Army. However, I personally sent the Princess out. I remember it very clearly. The First Master found out Something was wrong, so I arranged for someone to send a baby girl in and change the princess to leave the palace. Unfortunately, the former master was taken into the palace by the Bei Ya Imperial Guard before he could explain the whereabouts of the princess."
Zhou Wuhen sighed: "We have been searching for so long, but we still haven't found the whereabouts of the princess." She felt even more strange and thought about it: "But when I told Han Changmu about the past of the late master, he didn't ask anything else, but asked me After the first master died, was the young master the only orphan left?"
"What?" Zhu Rong was shocked: "Could it be that Han Changmu knew the existence of the princess and deliberately tricked you?"
Zhou Wuhen was puzzled and shook his head: "We can't even find the whereabouts of the princess, so how could he know? I'm wondering if he saw some mark that led him to make such a guess. Find out from me."
Zhu Rong thought for a moment: "The young master and the princess are twins of a dragon and a phoenix. They were born with identical birthmarks, but this matter is extremely secret. Only you, me and the Mu Sheng Envoy know about it. Even the Holy Lord doesn't know about it." How did he know about this?"
Zhou Wuhen said: "Perhaps, I really saw it by chance and left it in my mind."
Zhu Rong slammed the desk: "Perhaps we can really find the princess by following this line. I think it's better to start with the people around him." He narrowed his eyes: "Yes, let's start with him entering the capital. Check out the girls I met later.”
This Zhu Rong looks extremely tough and tough, but his thoughts are very delicate. In just a few words, he can analyze the matter and analyze it roughly.
Zhou Wuhen nodded: "I will handle this matter personally. The young master has ordered that you should remain dormant. You must especially be on guard against the Holy Master's people. Don't expose your identity."
Zhu Rong said easily: "Don't worry, I know that we have endured it for so long. Now is a crucial moment, and we must not fall short."
Zhou Wuhen suddenly covered his heart, coughed several times, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhu Rong's expression changed. He clasped Zhou Wuhen's wrist with two fingers and took a pulse: "Are you injured? Who hurt you?"
Zhou Wuhen chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Who else could it be? That old man who has always had ulterior motives." She paused slightly: "Don't worry, I'll nurse him back to health in a few days."
Zhu Rong breathed a sigh of relief: "After a few days of recuperation, you have to go to Beijing as soon as possible."
Zhou Wuhen nodded: "Yes, things in Beijing have almost been arranged. However, in the past few days, you have to go to the Fifth Beacon first. The Mu Sheng Envoy fell into the hands of Han Changmu. I suspect that he has been imprisoned. In the fifth beacon, you should take the time to investigate first, and I will try to rescue him."
"Okay, I understand. I'll go and arrange a place for you first. You can rest assured that I'll be safe here." Zhu Rong had obviously known about Li Sheng's affairs, so he wasn't surprised and got up and went out to settle down.
Walking through the sandy slopes one after another, the eyes are filled with boring gray-yellow color. The cold wind blows, and the rough sand and stones are rolling on the ground.
A bright red sun rises from behind the sandy slope, the sunshine is dry and cold.
The sound of camel bells lingered melodiously in the desert.
Xie Mengxia lifted the car curtain and looked out, then suddenly jumped out of the car, got on his horse and caught up with Han Changmu in front, shouting loudly: "Jiuchao, is it almost the fifth beacon?"
