Cross the bluestone and cross the mountain stream.
With his Taoist robe in the wind, Li Changan nimbly walked through the mountain road.
He urged Chong Longyu to carefully identify every scent in the air, recalling Yan Xinglie's instructions before leaving.
"Master Taoist, please be careful during this trip."
"The identity of the witch is very important. People from the White Lotus Sect must have sent their best men to search for her."
"Furthermore, this demon girl is also a master of evil ways. Although her cultivation has been sealed by the methods of the Suppressing Division, judging from the mind-deception techniques, some of them may have gradually lost their effectiveness. If the demon girl is allowed to regain her magic power, it will be even more difficult. uniform……"
Time was running out, and Yan Xinglie didn't waste any time.
All in all, you have to act fast!
It’s faster than the White Lotus Sect’s response, and it’s even faster than the demon girl’s recovery!
However, life is inevitably full of twists and turns.
The Taoist priest who was running suddenly stopped suddenly.
He grabbed a handful of air, brushed it over his nose, and frowned.
The smell of the woman in red was mixed with other smells.
……………………
An army of officers and soldiers meandered along the mountain road.
Although the number of people was small, the flags before the march were orderly, mixed and not chaotic. It was obvious that the commander was also an experienced soldier.
This team belongs to the imperial army nearby, and this trip is to report the victory to the imperial court and offer prisoners.
"Second Uncle Cui, we will be repairing here today."
The chariots and horses were spinning, and Zhang Zhihu beat his horses to the head of the team.
The gray-bearded veteran looked at the sun and wrinkled his face.
"But Major General, it's still early before dark."
"The soldiers are all exhausted."
He said the next sentence firmly and couldn't wait to return to the carriage.
On the carriage sat a pretty girl in red.
"I think that little lady is tired!"
The veteran cursed, but then sighed. What else can he do? Although he is the actual commander of this team, the other party is the nephew of the general.
He could only hold his nose and arrange for the soldiers to camp around, but he couldn't help but look at the woman on the carriage. She was really a beautiful girl.
This girl was picked up on the way today. She was said to be the daughter of a noble family. She met a bearded thief and got separated from her family.
It was strange to say that he knew how arrogant his young general was, and he had never set his sights on any of the rich ladies in Chang'an, but when he came to this girl, he was like a hungry dog bumping into a fleshy bone.
The whole day, I didn't care about anything, I just focused on being courteous to others.
Seeing him circling around the little lady, a fresh idea suddenly came to the veteran's mind.
"Major General, he... looks like a dog."
Well, he is still a "dog" who wants to marry "meat and bones". But the origin of these "meat bones" is really unknown. It would be fine if it was really an official, but if not... the general found out about it, he would have to take it out on himself and punish him for his lack of care.
Thinking of this, the veteran felt a slight pain in his back and asked the man in black robe next to him in a low voice.
"Where is your lady from?"
The man in black robe responded with two nostrils.
Your mother! The veteran was furious, but with his behavior, there was no way he was from a famous family.
He suppressed his anger angrily, but the sun was too bright and he couldn't hold it down, so he found an unsightly butt and put his foot on it.
"Ouch."
The owner of the butt immediately threw the shit out of him.
"You..." The unfortunate guy stood up angrily, and when he saw the veteran, his face turned into a flattering one. "...What do you want the old man to do?"
"Zhu Hazi..." This quick reaction and thick skin made the veteran roll his eyes, "... take your people with you and go collect some firewood."
"Yes!" Zhu Hazi said with a smile on his face, "Do you have any other orders?"
The veteran waved his hand.
"Then take the bow, get some mountain goods, and give me a toothpaste as a sacrifice."
……………………
"Oh haha."
Li Changan was lying in the forest, looking at the team setting up camp below, feeling that the trip might have been cold.
The following team is very small for an army, only about a hundred people, not even a partial division. But for Li Chang'an who is working alone... let's forget it. He doesn't have the ability to "take the head of a general out of a million troops."
Sneak in and wait for an opportunity to assassinate?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Changan shook his head.
But, just go back like this? Fortunately, he was still confident in front of that bearded man.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the front.
The Taoist priest climbed up to the tree crown using his hands and feet, hiding his body.
In Er, a group of officers and soldiers entered the forest. In their words, it seemed that they were here to collect firewood and get some delicacies and game.
"Zhang San, you and Li Si, go over there."
"One ear and one eye to the left."
After the general named Zhu Hazi ordered his men to disperse, he sat down under the tree where Li Changan was hiding and lazily stretched out his waist and knocked on his back, which felt very comfortable.
Above him, the short-haired Taoist priest was thoughtful.
……………………
"Sir, please spare my life!"
"I have done meritorious service for the imperial court, and I have suffered injuries for the imperial court!"
Li Changan caught the officer and soldier and returned to the mountain road. The villagers had already dispersed, but there was a lame horse with its neck raised, gnawing on the leaves at the low place.
Yan Dabeard sat aside, with several bloody arrows scattered in front of him, and his body was covered with bandages. Some simple runes were painted on the bandages, and a dim brilliance circulated.
"how?"
As soon as he saw Li Changan, the bearded man asked eagerly.
The Taoist priest shook his head and threw the red clam to the ground.
"Ouch."
This Zhu Hazi is also a wonderful person. He figured out the situation in just two or three glances after waking up. He immediately kowtowed to Yan Xinglie and said the above sentence.
Li Changan heard something from these words.
"You called him Sir? Do you know him?"
After hearing this, he quickly turned around with a flattering smile on his face:
"Taoist Master, you are so noble and forgetful. Yesterday I saw with my own eyes that you were so powerful, Taoist Master."
Oh, Li Changan suddenly realized that this person was one of the knights led by the white-robed young man that day.
The Taoist priest nodded.
"Since we are old acquaintances, we can't let you suffer anything. If I ask you anything, you should tell me honestly, otherwise..."
Before he finished speaking, this Zhu Hazi shouted, telling everything he knew, and resolutely cooperating with the Zhenfu Division to carry out the work. In a few moments, the details of the team were shaken to the sky.
Including how he met the woman, how the woman described herself, and how his young general was obsessed with the woman.
After listening, Li Changan pondered for a while and suddenly asked:
"I see there are two men in black robes in the army. They don't look like officers and soldiers. They are..."
"The two of them were found by Ban Dao himself. They are servants in the little girl's house..."
Hearing this, the Taoist priest and the bearded man looked at each other with solemnity in each other's eyes.
………………
Asked a few more questions.
Finally, I couldn't get anything new out of this slick guy's mouth.
The Taoist priest winked at the bearded man, and the meaning was self-evident - what are you going to do with this guy?
Zhu Hazi, who had been carefully observing the expressions of the two people, did not know that it was a matter of life and death. He immediately activated the twelfth level of skill and threw himself on the ground with tears and mucus pouring out.
"Sir, please spare my life! There are elders above me and young ones below. I serve the imperial court..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
The bearded man interrupted him with a headache. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand.
"Go on your own."
"It's a great kindness that I will never forget." The Zhu Hazi howled, but did not run away. He only secretly glanced at Li Changan with his eyes.
The Taoist smiled and shook his head: "You can stay or go as you like."
"OK."
Then he got up neatly and ran away without a trace.
After the person ran away, Yan Xinglie sighed leisurely:
"The demon girl has met with the people from the White Lotus Sect."
"The commander-in-chief of the No. 100 army also fell in love with the witch."
"Brother Yan, if you show your identity as Zhenfusi..."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Yan Chixia shook her head, "If we go to the military camp to bring military orders, firstly, we are afraid that we will not have enough time, and secondly, we are afraid that the general will be deeply confused and will not obey the orders; if he appears directly in In front of that army, I'm afraid they will be instigated by the witch and besieged and killed."
Li Changan spread his hands.
"That's the end of it."
for a long time.
"No."
Yan Xinglie, who had been thinking for a while, raised his head, his eyes shining.
"Perhaps, there is still a chance."
"How to say?"
"Has the Taoist priest ever seen the iron shackles on the demon girl's hands?"
Li Changan nodded. With such a rough thing locked on the delicate and beautiful woman's hand, it was naturally very conspicuous.
"The iron shackles are called dragon-suppressing locks. They were made by our Zhenfu Division specifically for escorting serious criminals. They are rare in the world and are specially designed to lock people's souls. Once they are put on, even the King of Heaven and I will not be able to break free."
"And the ingenuity is created by the master craftsman. Each dragon-suppressing lock is unique and has only one key."
"And the enchantress holds the key to the dragon-suppressing lock..."
……………………
"...in the hands of that surnamed Yan!"
The woman in red was half leaning on the bluestone, her tone was delicate and soft, and she didn't seem to care much, but the long nail of her little finger scratched the iron shackles, making a heart-wrenching friction sound, but not even a white mark could be left behind. Finally, it landed on the bluestone below, chipping away a stone chip in vain.
The two men in black robes looked troubled.
"Holy girl, the Zuo envoy has received the news from us and is on his way here. We will return to the sect after regrouping. There is always a way to break the dragon-suppressing lock. Why bother with an old bird now?"
The woman suddenly laughed after hearing this: "You two are really the best in my teaching..."
As soon as these words came out, the two of them immediately became happy, but the next sentence was like a bucket of ice water being poured down in the middle of winter.
"The famous and tough judge is just an old bird in the eyes of both of you, so why do you have to push back and forth to deal with such a seriously injured old bird..."
The smile on the woman's face was faintly cold.
"Could it be that she's just a saint like me..."
The two men in black robes were heartbroken and fell to the ground quickly.
"I don't dare. I just thought about this barren mountain and forest. We won't be able to find Yan Xinglie for a while, and there is no one around the saint to help..."
"There's no need for you to look for it."
The woman snorted coldly, and the expression on her face suddenly changed back to her delicate and charming look, and she whispered:
"Zhang Lang."
"Qing Fei."
The general in white robes came over.
"I found that evil thief for you!"
