After Pei Shuang left, the grimace Taoist priest and He Siniang looked at each other and found a look of surprise on each other's faces. They both seemed surprised by Pei Shuang's last words.
He Siniang said at this time: "What does "taking a trip to the underworld" mean? Is he hinting at our ending? "
The Taoist priest with a grimace shook his head: "Probably not. The word he used was "us". Pindao felt that that sentence was either describing the danger of this fight, or it had something to do with the name "Tongmingfu". "
He Siniang nodded thoughtfully: "It makes sense. This trip to Lama is not easy anyway, but he asked us to prepare clothes to keep out the cold. Where should we go at this time..."
"There is a ready-made clothing store in the south of the town." A voice suddenly came from outside the door: "There are cotton clothes for sale inside."
The Taoist Priest with a grimace quickly stood up and opened the door, only to see two of Pei's two attendants still standing outside the door. At this time, he continued: "General Pei will stay here for one night and will set off at 00:00 tomorrow morning. You should take advantage of this opportunity to prepare as soon as possible. "
The Taoist Priest with a grimace responded, turned around and gave He Siniang a look as if he was going out. It seemed that he had something to say that he couldn't say in the room. These two followers were obviously not simple in martial arts, and they actually listened to their whispers through the wall. Clearly.
Coming out of Chunman Building, Taoist Priest He and Siniang hurried to the clothing store to buy cotton-padded clothes before dark. On the way, the Taoist priest with a grimace said, "Pei Shuang asked us to prepare winter clothes. It seems that Void Mountain is located on a cold snowy plateau as Pindao guessed."
"Yeah, the only place to save energy and use winter clothes at this time is there."
"Oh! It's such a fucking errand. You hang on for dear life all the way, and you still have to freeze."
"There's nothing you can do about it, just take things as they come. You have to think like this. We've all been to the mountains and to the sea. Why don't we play in the snow this time?"
"Hey, Pindao is not as generous as you. Besides, Pindao is an outsider. He suffered a lot from cold when he was a child...Eh? Is that the shop in front of you?"
"It seems so. The door happens to be still open. Come on! Let's go in and take a look."
As expected, there were winter clothes for sale in the shop. Although the two grimaced Taoist priests were puzzled, they still bought all the clothes and cotton boots they needed to keep out the cold.
After walking out of the tailor shop, the two went to the blacksmith shop to get the remaining crossbow nails, and then repaired their equipment such as the Eagle Lock. After feeling that everything was in order, they returned to Chunman Building.
A night of silence.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone gathered in the main hall of Chunmanlou. After a little tidying up, the group started to head towards Qiang land.
There are about twenty people in the team of the Ghost-faced Taoist priest. On the way, the Ghost-faced Taoist priest gradually found out the details of the group. Except for myself and He Siniang, there were no other people in the gang. Most of them were soldiers from the Juezi Battalion, but there were four others who were obviously not from the official family. The Taoist priest with a grimace could feel that these four people had extremely high martial arts skills and a strong sense of gangsterism, but they did not have the gangster spirit of the people in the thieves. He guessed that they were most likely the people in the Sanhangmen.
Sanguamen had cooperated with Juezi Camp early in the morning. Taoist Priest Grimace was not surprised. What was surprising was the state of these four people. They looked very depressed and depressed, as if they were deeply troubled, and it felt like they were being forced. It's like joining a gang.
The Taoist Priest with a grimace felt a little strange. Logically speaking, this trip to Lama would have to be done by the Mushroom Gate. However, the people in their martial arts world were more likely to act as thugs. It was not their turn to take risks in a fight, but why? But they had a long face and acted more reluctant than themselves?
The grim-faced Taoist priest told He Siniang his doubts, but He Siniang disagreed and said softly on the horse: "Perhaps in their eyes, we are more difficult to deal with than the mausoleum? The Taoist priest didn't even think about what Mushroom Gate is in the world. reputation."
"Then shouldn't their expressions be wary?" The grim-faced Taoist priest tightened the reins in his hands and glanced at the man not far away: "Why do they look so reluctant?" ap.
"How do I know this concubine? People's hearts are so far apart from each other. Is it possible that the Taoist priest still wants to guess what she is thinking?"
"I don't have that much leisure time. I'm just worried that there's something fishy about it."
"This trip to the lama is really tricky. I would like to advise the Taoist Master not to worry about it now. We can wait until the news becomes clear."
"Okay, since I haven't met Lao Qi yet, it's useless to think too much."
The journey continued in this slightly strange atmosphere. The whole team stopped and went, and after five days they crossed the border between Wei and Song Dynasties and arrived at the territory of Liu Song Dynasty. They then walked for two more days and finally stopped outside Liangzhou City.
The sun was now turning westward, and under the setting sun there were all slender and hurried shadows.
Pei Shuang stuck his head out of the carriage window and greeted the grim-faced Taoist priest: "The army is resting in the city. You will see your brother soon."
The grim-faced Taoist priest nodded, feeling instantly excited. Then he clamped the horse's belly hard and began to follow the team towards the city.
Liangzhou City is located in the upper reaches of Mian River and is the last state capital before entering the Qiang land. Pei Shuang obviously had his own considerations when he chose to have his team meet here.
After entering Liangzhou City, Pei Shuang asked the team to go to an inn in the east of the city to arrange food and accommodation. At the same time, he told everyone to gather in the morning, and then he went straight to the government office.
The grim-faced Taoist priest and his party arrived at the Chengdong Inn. As soon as they entered the gate, a familiar back figure on the stairs came into view.
"Old Seven!" Taoist Priest He and Siniang He said simultaneously.
Luo Laoqi, who was about to go upstairs with the wine jar in his arms, suddenly turned his head and exclaimed joyfully: "Taoist Priest! Siniang!" He also threw away the wine jar in his hand and ran down the stairs.
"You're worrying us to death!" The grim-faced Taoist priest punched Luo Laoqi, then glanced at the broken wine jar and said, "It seems that you are fine, but you started drinking again?"
"I've almost recovered a long time ago." Luo Laoqi bared his teeth: "Besides, why should I delay drinking when I'm sick?"
He Siniang shook her head: "You! Your heart is wider than the road."
The Taoist priest with a grimace patted Luo Laoqi again, his joy was beyond words, and then suddenly whispered: "You said you were excited, why did you drop the wine jar? Look at the shopkeeper, look at your expression."
"Don't pay attention to him. The Sa family has already disliked him in the past two days. If it wasn't for those idiots who stopped him, the Sa family would have to beat him up."
After hearing this, the Taoist Priest with a grimace straightened his expression and asked in a low voice: "Do all the people from Juezi Camp live here?"
Luo Laoqi shook his head: "There are not that many guest rooms here. Most of the people live in the house across the street, as well as our colleagues. Anyway, the rotten fish and shrimps are all over there."
"Then everyone lives here...forget it, let's not talk about it for now, we will talk in the room later."
At this moment, Pei Shuang's entourage had already opened the guest room. The Taoist priest with a grimace greeted everyone, and then went to his room with He Siniang and Luo Laoqi.
