early morning.

When the first ray of sunlight shone into the "house", seven or eight sparrows had fallen on the Taoist priest who had been sitting cross-legged all night.

It's cold, so it's easy to find something that "naturally" generates heat. The sparrows don't want to endure the cold wind.

At this moment, the eyelids of the delicate Taoist priest, who had a bun on his head casually held up by a branch, suddenly moved.

The original harmony with the surrounding environment has become slightly unnatural.

Li Zhen opened his eyes and turned to look at a few sparrows that had slept on his shoulders all night. Without moving, he pointed his finger at the furoshiki next to him.

A golden thread suddenly appeared from between his fingers, hooking the bundle in front of him.

And when this kind of action occurs, the unnaturalness becomes more serious.

The baggage was in his arms, and as his shoulders shook, the sparrows suddenly woke up and instinctively flew into the air, then landed on the ruins and began to "chirp" to criticize him.

He seemed to be asking him why he disturbed his sleep.

"Haha, sorry, sorry."

Li Zhen chuckled lightly, took out a handful of brown rice from the bag, and sprinkled it on the ground casually:

"This is an apology... Speaking of which, Pindao has done you a favor by sleeping with me. Remember to choose a more beautiful girl in your next life to repay your kindness."

Joking, he patted the dust on his body, hung up his umbrella, gourd, and baggage, walked to the door, glanced at the sparrows that had fallen on the ground and pecking at the brown rice, smiled slightly, and left directly

Got out.

When he reached the door, he saw the tracks of a group of wild animals.

This is the wolf pack that came last night.

As for why you didn't attack Li Zhen... Do you think Tada Da and Li Laoliu are vegetarians?

Animal intuition is sometimes much more sensitive than humans.

Picking up a handful of snow and wiping his face, he hit the road again.

This time we only walked for about half a day when we heard the neighing of mules and horses coming from behind.

The path of the heat flow in his body was suddenly blocked. He turned around and saw a team of about fifty or sixty people walking this way.

Li Zhen subconsciously squinted his eyes and clearly saw the mules and horses carrying supplies, as well as two carriages, and the guards who were also riding horses and holding weapons.

Good guy...

This caravan is quite wealthy.

Mules and horses are good at carrying heavy loads. Although they do not move fast, they have extremely strong endurance. They are the best choice for caravans in this era.

Li Zhen can often be seen in the East and West markets, and is not very rare.

But those horses guarding the crotch are very intriguing.

Each of them is a tall and handsome horse. Even though he doesn't understand horses, he thinks they are very beautiful.

A good horse in this era is just like the BBA in later generations. You really can't afford it without a little money.

Apart from anything else, in terms of fodder alone, an adult horse will be fine in summer, but will need at least 5 to 10 large fodder a day in autumn and winter.

Hay, bran, and bean feed all cost money.

Five to ten adults a day are enough to raise Li Zhen himself, let alone horses.

And just such a convoy can actually have fifty or sixty horses for escort riding, which is really rich. In future generations, it will be no less than a group of rich second-generation people driving luxury cars out to blow up the streets.

Li Zhen thought for a while, then silently exited the official road about five steps away, and stood in the snow that reached his ankles.

This is a safe distance. For a group of martial arts practitioners, if someone makes a move five steps away, they will definitely react. And he doesn't want to cause trouble... Pindao is just a poor Taoist priest, barefoot and a group of BBA

What transgression did you commit?

Not necessary.

Hurry and stay away, lest any horse takes the wrong medicine, kicks itself, and gets chopped off by a tower...

People must not think that they are a porcelain person?

Not worth it.

Just as he was thinking about it, he didn't know what he was carrying, but the seemingly packed convoy had already arrived in front of Li Zhen.

The seven or eight people at the head looked at Li Zhen warily, and when they realized he was a poor Taoist priest, they ignored him and walked straight over.

Then came the two carriages in the middle of the procession.

Li Zhen, who lowered his head, vaguely felt a line of sight falling on him.

He still didn't move.

After letting the two carriages pass by, a team of mules, horses and camels followed.

During the whole process, neither side said anything. After the caravan passed by, he walked back to the official road, stepping on the horse hoof prints left by the group of people and continuing to move forward step by step.

The caravan's pace was much faster than his.

Probably less than half a stick of incense had passed and they were already gone.

Li Zhen didn't know how far he was from Qianfu Mountain.

He wasn't in a hurry either.

Go slowly.

After walking for about half an hour, he saw the caravan again in the distance.

At this moment, it was already noon, and they were parked next to the official road. The carriage was in the middle, and the mules and horses circled around the carriage, followed by a circle of guards cooking in twos and threes outside.

When they saw him, several of the guards closest to the official road of the caravan stood up at the same time.

The vigilance is quite high.

In order to show his sincerity, Li Zhen once again went down the official path.

You are on this side, and the poor guy is on the other side.

You eat your food, and the poor walk on the snow of the poor.

Is it okay if we don’t disturb each other?

In this way, he bypassed the caravan with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

When the guards saw him walking awkwardly in the snow, they laughed loudly and then ignored him.

Li Zhen walked away again.

After walking for about half an hour, he stood in the snow on the side of the road again.

The caravan passed him again.

But this time, there was still a gaze looking at him.

Until the caravan completely disappeared and passed him by.

He didn't care and continued to move forward.

These people happened to help him clear the way. As long as it didn't snow in the past few days, he would definitely be able to find Qianfu Mountain.

Just as he was thinking about it and walking for about half a stick of incense, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves.

Looking up...

four people.

They looked familiar and had different faces.

The unfamiliar face desperately urged the horse to run this way, while the two familiar guards were chasing after them like a cat chasing a mouse.

It was still a little far away at first, but the horses of the two people in front were obviously not as good as those of the two guards behind, and the distance got closer and closer!

So, Li Zhen stood on the side of the road with his hands clattering.

But this time, before the four people reached Li Zhen, the two guards chasing behind seemed to be tired, and Li Zhen heard a beast roar coming from the mouth of the guards:

"Roar!!!!"

The voice that said cows are not cows and tigers are not tigers was shouted in the mouth of one of the guards, and he flew into the air like a cannonball, hitting the two people in front of him who were running for their lives.

The two men also saw the guards in mid-air, and without saying a word, they drew out the knives in their hands, trying to intercept the other party.

But at this moment, the sword flashed...

The guard hit the ground hard.

By the way, there were also two heads with fearful eyes.

"..."

Li Zhen's mouth twitched, and the two horses slowly stopped without their master's control.

"Xu~~"

Another guard arrived on horseback and intercepted the horses of the two headless horsemen. He roughly grabbed the two horsemen and threw them to the roadside like garbage.

He glanced at Li Zhen with a cold look, got on his horse, grabbed one of the horses riding by the two headless horsemen, and the horse, which was obviously younger, left with his companions.

"..."

Li Zhen was speechless, walked to the official road, looked at the two headless horsemen, and then looked at the two weather-beaten heads with dry skin and calluses on their faces...

Finally his eyes fell on the old horse.

He is indeed a rich man...
