Lu means good fortune, luck, money, property, titles, rewards, and books and documents.
The word "Lu" means great auspiciousness, great fortune, great wealth, prosperous civilization, and clear seas and rivers.
The word Donglu means wealth and prosperity coming from the east.
Each of the three passes to Beiyuan requires a customs clearance certificate, which are respectively one Donglu, two Donglu, and three Donglu.
The Northern Yuan Dynasty began to invade Daqian again thirty years ago. In the past thirty years, border wars broke out frequently, and there was little peace. The two countries had long since severed diplomatic relations. People occasionally had business exchanges, but they would not take these three roads to Donglu.
Because most of these three Donglu roads were passed by tribes such as Wanrong, Xiqiang and Xiyiyi, and most of these tribes were horse bandits. Those who were targeted by them on the official road would immediately sharpen their knives as soon as they passed the pass.
And there is another special reason. Three Donglu Roads lead directly to Lanze City in Beiyuan, which is one of the six important construction cities in Beiyuan. Beiyuan is also afraid that the Han people will send detailed attacks, so in the past ten years, the three Donglu Roads have been cleared. Documentary ultimatums are extremely difficult to process.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at Li Simei's face and confirmed that it was a face from the Central Plains.
In addition to the money bag and these official documents, Li Simei also had a small dagger and three hidden weapons on her body, but nothing else.
Xia Zhaoyi put everything back except for the official documents, stood up and prepared to leave.
Her ear suddenly moved, and her body reacted faster than her consciousness. She turned sideways almost instinctively, raised her hand to grab a long snake that suddenly came towards her, and at the same time, with a "pop" sound, she broke the long snake's spine in the air, killing the long snake immediately. Hanging softly from her hand.
Xia Zhaoyi carried the snake to the front. It was a cross mountain wind, very thin. She had only seen such a thin cross mountain wind in one place, and that was the Qianqiu Palace under the Dragon Abyss.
Wherever the mountain breeze comes in and out, there are usually people of the same kind. When food is scarce, the same kind will eat each other.
The item in her hand seemed destined to be a "food" before.
Xia Zhaoyi turned to look at the lush trees on the cliff, paused, and then looked down.
The bottomless mountain abyss, waterfalls in the distance, and huge splashes of water vapor further obstruct the view.
The corners of Xia Zhaoyi's eyes twitched slightly, and she felt a little strange in her heart. She cast her eyes in the direction of the waterfall with feeling, paused suddenly, and climbed towards the waterfall.
"General Ali!"
"General Ali, where are you going?"
The Yan army soldiers on the cliff shouted.
"I'll be fine! Don't worry!" Xia Zhaoyi shouted crisply.
The closer you get, the louder the sound of the water becomes. It's not a big waterfall, but to a small human being, it's still huge.
Several large birds flew over the mountains, and the fine quality gauze sleeves flew in the mist of the waterfall and the strong wind.
Xia Zhaoyi landed lightly on the narrow mountain road and walked along the mountain wall. A thick, swollen and yellow arm was exposed in the sleeves. A large number of corpses were climbing on it. There were also several holes, and densely packed squirrels were crawling in the holes. of corpse insects.
After getting closer, Xia Zhaoyi pushed aside the fallen vegetation. Under the vegetation, the stench was overwhelming, revealing a rotten woman's face.
It was rotten beyond recognition, the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were bulging and bulging, the eyeballs were protruding out of the eye sockets, and they were covered with insects and flies, making the face unrecognizable.
However, no matter how swollen her skin and muscles are, her bones rarely change. It can still be seen that she has a slender frame, slender neck, and perfect skull.
There was a small sachet near the left foot of the corpse near the inner wall of the cliff. Xia Zhaoyi wrapped it in leaves and picked it up.
There are two words embroidered on it, crimson eyebrow.
Xia Zhaoyi's eyes showed no emotion and he looked back at the body calmly.
It's her, but it may not really be her.
Xia Zhaoyi had never seen this woman with unparalleled beauty who was said to be the most beautiful woman in the country before, he only knew what she did.
Now, the madam and steward of Yanchun Tower have been taken into custody. No matter what the law, they have killed so many innocent women by their hands, and they will never escape death.
If this female corpse was really crimson-browed, it would be an advantage for her to die in the green mountains and green waters like this.
Xia Zhaoyi stepped forward and uncovered her heavily bunched up clothes.
There were at least six huge, smooth holes on his chest and lower abdomen, as if stabbed by daggers. A shoe fell from his feet and landed three feet away. Xia Zhaoyi searched around but could not find the dagger.
At this time, there was movement from behind. Xia Zhaoyi turned around. Shen Lie, with agile skills, landed lightly and called her in a low voice: "Ali."
When he saw the female body behind the girl, Shen Lie frowned slightly and walked forward.
"I picked this up," Xia Zhaoyi showed him the sachet in her hand, "it has crimson eyebrows embroidered on it."
Shen Lie looked at the appearance of the female corpse and said, "Looking at the skeletal shape, there is some resemblance."
"Have you met her?"
"Her personal maid described it, and Mrs. Qiqu had a portrait. At that time, in order to arrest her, I had someone paint it."
Xia Zhaoyi nodded, looked back at the female corpse and said, "People in this world are evil. Before we can fully confirm that it is her, we cannot rule out that she found a woman with a similar body shape to die on her behalf."
"Well, with her viciousness, she can definitely do this."
"But if it were her," Xia Zhaoyi looked down at the sachet in his hand, "this matter would be even more strange."
"More weird?" Shen Lie said, "For example?"
"Look at her coat. It's made of fine material and exquisite in style. Such beautiful clothes are more suitable for traveling around the mountains and rivers, and reciting poems by the lake, rather than for escaping."
Shen Lie looked back at the female corpse: "Well, you are right."
Although the clothes were stained by corpse water and corpse insects, the style was indeed elegant and the fabric was of high quality.
"If she is really as beautiful as a fairy, then the person who killed her cannot be a stranger," Xia Zhaoyi continued, "There are so many promiscuous men in this world, and when they meet such a fairy-like beauty, they cannot easily be willing to destroy her. As for Woman, Jiangmei is very articulate, even if she is as ruthless as Chu Zheng, she would not be so cruel to Jiangmei. And if she is an enemy, no one can dress like this to see the enemy when they are on the run."
"Unless she meets her by chance, she would not wear such clothes and meet her enemy in this mountain stream." Shen Lie said.
"Well, I think the greater possibility is..."
"Return." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled brightly and looked around: "I also feel that there is a rebellion. During this period, the whole Hengxiang has been looking for her, but she is most likely hiding here."
"My manpower searched most of the mountains, but I didn't see half of the gardens or huts." Shen Lie said.
Xia Zhaoyi's bright eyes blinked slightly and turned to look down the deep stream: "Is there a cave or something like that? Shen Lie, I want to go down."
Shen Lie looked deeply at her charming and delicate profile, paused, turned around and looked elsewhere, suddenly pulled out his dagger and said, "Ali, come this way."
As soon as he finished speaking, the silver light in his hand cut off two thick trees with lush branches.
Xia Zhaoyi followed and whispered: "Are you going too?"
"Yes." Shen Lie responded, raised the knife in his hand, and easily cut through a piece of thorns blocking the road, clearing the way for her.
