There are mountains all over the east side of Xiangping City. Everyone took advantage of the twilight to go east through the valley in front of Longquan Temple and entered the vast mountains. However, they saw that the mountains were extremely steep. The horses everyone rode were except for Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang's divine horses. It was difficult for Yu Majun to carry people forward, but Xinluo Jian'er was not affected by the mountain road at all and still moved very fast.
Prime Minister Jin Liang asked the doctors to abandon their horses and only let the horses carry luggage. He asked the Silla warriors to cut bamboo and make a simple shoulder cart to carry everyone through the mountains.
Jiang Shuo, Dugu Xiang, Wei Jingzhao, and Da Wuyi, all of whom were skilled in martial arts, naturally did not need to be carried. Except for Dugu Wen, who had just recovered from poisoning and was not well yet, they were carried by Silla warriors on shoulder carts. The rest were carried by Jin Wanzong. , Jin Liangxiang walked together,
After walking like this in the mountains for seven or eight days, I finally arrived at a big river. I saw that the river was surging, fast and wide. It was the Yalu River. The Bohai City of Bohai State was also on the west bank of the river, guarding the lower reaches. The Dahang City of Tang Dynasty faces each other in the distance at the mouth of the river. Similar in shape to Fuyu City, Bobi City is also a wooden fortress, but it is far less grand than Fuyu City. It is not much different from the Tang Dynasty Shouchu City, but it has a large port with hundreds of people moored inside. Some of the cargo ships were from Bohai, Silla, or even Japan. They were probably all ships trading with the Tang Dynasty.
With Da Wuyi around, it was no problem for Tang Dynasty doctors, Jiang Shuo and others to enter Boli City. However, it was inconvenient for the Silla people to approach, so they parted by the river. Jin Wanzong and Jin Liangxiang did not have much friendship with the rest of the people. , only said goodbye to Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang, but Prince Qianyun felt the most reluctant to leave. Not only did he become good friends with Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang, but he also admired the medical skills of Qin Yue people and other famous doctors. The doctor of the Tang Dynasty crossed his hands and said: "Qin Daxian and all the other sages are not able to do anything for me today. I will definitely come to the Central Plains again to ask you for medical advice. I hope you will give me your advice."
Doctors like Qin Yueren, Meng Lu, Quan Xingjian, and Chao Chengye all returned the gift. In the past few days, their views on the Prince of Silla had greatly changed. They knew that he had been deceived by Xinxing and others before, but he was actually a very humble man. He was eager to learn, and many doctors sent him invitations, asking him to come to the Central Plains for a while when he needed time.
The Xinluo people went downstream to find a ford to cross the river, and soon they were far away. Everyone watched for a while, and then they were led by Da Wuyi into Bobi City. Bobi City was just a small border town in Yalu Prefecture, and its city lord guarded it. There was a big difference in rank between the envoy and Da Wuyi, not to mention that Da Wuyi was from a royal family. The envoy guarding Bobi City was naturally courteous and courteous. He immediately ordered the station to be vacated and cleared out several insurgent travelers in the city. Only then did he arrange for so many people to stay. Da Wuyi, Qin Yue, Meng Lu and others naturally invited them to live in the governor's house. Jiang Shuo, Xiang'er, Dugu Wen, Wei Jingzhao and others arranged to stay in the best Nilu in the city. The other famous doctors and sages They also arranged their own accommodation.
At that time, everyone had been sleeping in the open for more than ten days, and they were extremely exhausted. Although the journey back to the north was simple and simple, the accommodation was just some hay spread in a big house and covered with just a thin quilt. At this moment, it was better for them than Chang'an or Luoyang. The fox fur and brocade quilts at home were much warmer and more comfortable. After having a simple meal, almost everyone fell asleep.
Jiang Shuo and his party were arranged in a single room, and the three couches were covered with silk quilts from the Tang Dynasty. Dugu Wen was still weak. Earlier, after the Qin Yue people came to check his pulse, Xiang'er fed him some rice porridge. So he went to bed early, Xiang'er stayed with his grandfather, and soon he breathed evenly and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Shuo couldn't sleep for a while. He sat cross-legged on the couch and closed his eyes to rest. He thought about all the adventures he had experienced these days. He thought about the turbulent situation in the North and how the people of all ethnic groups were shrouded in the shadow of war. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness in his heart. Anxious, he felt that his heart was floating, and he hurriedly followed the Jade Jue method, exhaled for a moment to get rid of distracting thoughts, and immediately felt that his mind was at peace, and his spiritual platform was clear. Jiang Shuo's inner strength cultivation is now extremely advanced. After just meditating for a moment, he feels refreshed and does not feel very sleepy.
Just when he was concentrating on practicing his exercises and meditating, and his mind was wandering, he suddenly heard a voice outside the room saying softly: "Looking back, are you asleep?"
Jiang Shuo was shocked, jumped up, opened the door gently, looked back at Dugu Wen and Dugu Xiang's grandfather and grandson. They were still sleeping soundly. He stepped out of the house and said to the man under the moon: " Sister Zhuer, you are finally here."
The candlelight in the room came out and shone on the face of the person standing in the courtyard, covering her face like a carved white jade with a layer of warm color. Her pretty eyebrows and facial features suddenly became vivid, but it was not who Li Zhuer was.
Jiang Shuo had seen Li Zhuer at Longquan Temple that day, but he didn't know where Li Zhuer went after leaving Huaiyuan City, or how he came to Longquan Temple after meeting Li Guiren. It was just that the two sides faced off for half a day in Longquan Temple. Finally, Li Guiren and Gao Buwei led everyone to break out. Jiang Shuo had no choice but to talk to Li Zhuer. He didn't want to see her here again today. Jiang Shuo had countless words in his heart, but he could only hold back one sentence: : "Sister Pearl, where have you been?"
Li Zhuer smiled softly and asked: "Looking back, do you still believe me?"
Jiang Shuo said: "Of course I believe you!"
Li Zhuer listened to his firm tone and no hesitation in his expression. She was happy in her heart but did not show it on her face. She said softly: "Then you go with me."
Jiang Shuo wondered: "Where to go?"
Li Zhuer said: "Go and watch a good show."
Jiang Shuo became even more curious: "Why are you watching a show at this late hour?"
Li Zhuer gave a rare pout and said with a smile: "Don't ask, you'll know when you get there..." Before she could finish her words, she floated outside the wall.
Jiang Shuo had no choice but to gently close the door. Following her out of the yard, the two of them walked around the east and west of the city. They arrived at the backyard of a large house in the center of the city. There was a huge oak tree against the wall. Li Zhuer He pressed his finger on his lips to signal Jiang Shuo to silence. He jumped up to the top of the tree. Jiang Shuo jumped up and landed on the same branch. He was extremely good at lightness and landed next to Li Zhu'er. Not even trembling, Li Zhuer couldn't help looking at him with approval and nodded.
Quercus oak is a common tree in the north, with lush branches and leaves. It was summer at that time, and the leaves were like a canopy. Not only at night, but also during the day, the two of them were hidden in it, making it difficult to spot them from the outside. Jiang Shuo looked into the courtyard from the tree branch and saw darkness. He couldn't help but feel strange. Just when he was about to ask, Li Zhuer waved her hand to signal him to be silent and pointed forward.
Jiang Shuo looked in the direction pointed by Li Zhuer. He had excellent eyesight. After careful identification, he saw that this courtyard was a side courtyard of the mansion. Although it was a side courtyard, the houses were grand and the courtyards were filled with flowers and plants. It looks very elegant and beautiful.
When I looked carefully, I saw a person standing on the porch of the big house. It was a waning moon today, and the moon was as curved as Mount Emei. The sky was dim and the ground was not clearly visible. Moreover, the man was dressed in black, and he was standing in the shadow of the porch. He could be seen at a glance. It is even more difficult to distinguish from the other side. Only by looking carefully can one discover that this person is short and looks like a woman from the back.
Jiang Shuo thought to himself: This mansion is supposed to be the government office of the governor of Bobi Town. The people who want to live in this private garden are either Dawuyi or Qinyue people. Could this man in black be an assassin sent by Yiluohe? His heart tightened, and he stretched out his hand to hold the hilt of the Seven-Star Sword.
Li Zhuer gently pressed the back of his hand and shook her head, indicating that there was no danger. Jiang Shuo looked at her with questioning eyes, but she tried her best to press her lips towards where the man in black was standing, signaling Jiang Shuo to wait and see what would happen. .
However, the man in black stood motionless under the eaves of the corridor, as if he were made of copper poured into iron. Only when the breeze rarely moved his clothes did people realize that he was a living creature. After a stick of incense, The man in black suddenly turned around, as if about to leave, but he just turned around and did not leave. He just changed his direction and stood in the corridor, facing outside. Through the dim moonlight, Jiang Shuo could already tell that the man in black was missing. Yun Gu, the incompetent lady who has been living for many days, is too far away to see her expression clearly, but her body is not motionless as before, but is swaying slightly, as if she is in a battle between heaven and man, walking and walking. I can't make up my mind before leaving. .
Li Zhuer sighed quietly and said: "It's okay if there are many people in the forest, but why do you still dare not knock on the door in this secluded garden? That's all...let me wish you a helping hand."
There were many nuts on the oak tree where the two men were hiding. It was summer, and the fruits were not yet ripe. They were still green, but very hard. Li Zhuer picked one and put it in her hand, and popped it out with her middle finger. The nut accurately hit the door of the big house with a gentle knocking sound. Yun Gu was startled and looked back.
Almost immediately after the gentle knock, the door opened with a crash, as if the person in the room had been standing inside the door for a long time, just waiting for the sound of the door opening. A person in the room said: "Ayun, you are here. .”
I heard the voice, and the person in the house was the great doctor Qin Yue.
Yun Gu turned around stiffly, held it in for a long time, and said softly: "Yeah."
There is a text below.
The Qin Yue people were silent for a long time before saying: "Come inside and sit down. We are very tired from sleeping in the open air these days. Ayun, you follow me secretly and hide your whereabouts everywhere. It must be more difficult, right? Come in and have a cup of tea and rest." Get some rest."
Yun Gu seemed to suddenly make up her mind. She stamped her foot, turned around and faced Qin Yueren and said, "There's no need to go into the house. Let's speak clearly here today."
Qin Yueren said: "Okay, Ayun, if you have anything to ask, it doesn't hurt to ask."
Yun Gu said: "Forty-two years ago, you were kidnapped by Dayebo. This man was very skilled in martial arts, but how did you escape from his murderous hands?"
Qin Yue said: "Hey... Ayun, you have wrongly blamed Beimingzi. He came to find me because another important thing happened. He didn't want to break the ambiguity between the two of us. He was furious in his heart. Although you still took the overall situation first and took me there, you didn’t want to say a word and just grabbed me and left. In your eyes, it’s like I was kidnapped.”
Yun Gu said: "But...but I saw that when he returned, his body and face were covered with blood. Isn't it your blood?"
Qin Yue said softly: "Ayun, you remember wrong again. Beimingzi was already covered in blood when he came. I think you were only worried about me at that time. He was covered in blood, but you didn't see him." .”
