Yamaguchi Momoe said to Todasan: "She is your guide. She is a Frenchman. Her parents are doing business in Baoxiang. Her name is Juju."
"Shiju, this name is very special."
The girl said: "Shiru means Buddha's daughter, because my mother said that when I was born in the morning, the sky was filled with colorful clouds, and Amitabha was in it."
"Well, it sounds great!"
Shiru smiled sweetly, revealing a set of neat white teeth, especially the two tiger teeth, which were pointed and very cute.
Yamaguchi Momoe turned around and took out a leather water bag from the bag on the back of a horse under the tree, and pulled out the stopper. The girl took out three silver bowls from the bag, and Yamaguchi Momoe poured a full glass of wine.
, handed them to Todayama and Juju respectively.
The three of them drank it all in one go.
Yamaguchi Momoe said: "I have a hundred gold coins and some copper coins right away for your transportation on the road. Dry food, water, and wine are all prepared for you." He took out two pieces of folded paper from his arms and said:
"This is the customs clearance document for both of you. Your identity is a businessman."
Todayama took it and looked at it, but the name written on it was Yang Liulang, and he couldn't help but smile. He knew that only the imperial court in the capital could handle the documents for leaving customs, and said: "You can still get this, no problem?
"
"You can pass through the border with a swagger, there will be absolutely no problem!"
"Okay!" He put the document away.
"For convenience on the road, the documents I issued indicate that you two are master and servant, and you are out on business."
"good,"
Yamaguchi Momoe took out another piece of paper and handed it to him: "This is his portrait."
Todayama took it and looked at it carefully. He was quite handsome. No wonder he could win the hearts of beautiful women. It was a pity that he was just a heartless and heartless embroidered pillow.
Todayama returned the portrait to Yamaguchi Momoe. Yamaguchi Momoe was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't want to keep it?"
"Don't worry, I have a photographic memory of the portrait!" Yamaguchi Momoe said, "It can't be mistaken. What's more, there is a name and identity to prove it."
Yamaguchi Momoe nodded, took the portrait, gently tore it into pieces, and threw it into the mud ditch on the roadside.
Todayama and Todayama got on their horses, bid farewell to Yamaguchi Momoe, whipped their horses, and headed for the border.
They rode horses very quickly and arrived at the border that afternoon.
Sure enough, with the customs clearance documents, they successfully passed the border inspections on both sides and entered the country of Annihilation.
The prosperity of the extinguishing method is far inferior to that of Baoxiang. Not to mention anything else, the official road alone is far inferior. Not only is it bumpy and bumpy, but it is also very narrow. Therefore, it is difficult for their horses to increase their speed.
, at night, they stayed overnight in a small village on the border.
There are many Baoxiang people here, and Todayama can still speak the language. However, after traveling for two days, not only are the people sparsely populated, but almost all of them are geese and ducks, and Todayama cannot understand them at all.
At noon that day, when they came to a canyon, they heard the roar of mountain torrents echoing throughout the valley. Juju suddenly stopped his horse, looked at the canyon, smiled bitterly, and said: "Brother Toda, we can't get through here!"
Because the wooden bridge is crossed!”
Todayama looked up, and sure enough, there were only two piers of the gate bridge left on both sides of the river valley. The mountain torrents in the river valley were like galloping horses, majestic.
Todasan said: "Can we take a detour?"
"It's possible, but it's a long detour. I'm afraid it'll be dark on the road today."
"No problem, we're not in a hurry. It's summer now, so it doesn't matter if we sleep outdoors. What about you?"
"Of course I'm fine. I've been guarding sheep in the wild since I was a child, and I just slept on the grass."
"Then let's go!"
The two of them rode horses and walked up the river valley. Because there was no road, the speed was even slower. When it was getting dark, Juru said: "Brother, let's find a sheltered place to stay while we can see it.
How about we wait until dawn tomorrow morning before leaving?"
"Okay!" The two of them walked and searched, and finally saw a small forest. Todasan said: "This is it."
The two dismounted and led the horses slowly into the woods.
Shiren took out food and water from his bag, put them on the ground, took off the saddle, let go of the horse, and let it graze on its own. Then he followed Todayama and sat on the grass, and began to eat.
They had just eaten a few mouthfuls when they heard a faint call from a distance. It was a woman's call. Todayama couldn't understand the call and looked at Juju.
Shi Yan's expression changed, and he said: "No, someone is calling for help!"
Todayama flew out of the grove and looked towards where the sound was coming from. He saw two horses galloping over the grassland in the distance under the setting sun. The sound of horse hooves was extremely clear in the silent grassland.
As he got closer, Todayama saw clearly that the horse in front was carrying a woman. The woman was wearing a strange costume and was screaming at the top of her lungs.
Todayama rushed forward diagonally. He did not dare to release the flying knife for fear of accidentally injuring the girl. He was also brave as a skilled man. He almost faced the galloping horse. Todayama jumped up in the air and hugged the girl.
The man on horseback rolled down together.
No one was in control, and the girl on the horse also fell off the horse. She struggled to get up, and when she looked back, she saw that the young man who rushed up had already twisted the arm of the man who was holding her hostage, wrapped it around his neck, and lifted him up.
stand up.
At this moment, I heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow flew out, hitting Todayama right in the heart!
Todayama had actually heard the sound of the bowstring and the whistling of the flying arrow, but he knew that if he dodged at this time, the arrow would probably hit the controlled person behind him.
, he still doesn’t know who they are, whether they are thieves or not. He can’t let people be shot to death rashly. Therefore, when he heard that the direction of the arrow was towards his upper body, he just turned his head to avoid it, without letting go.
Opening his upper body, the arrow hit him right in the back of the heart.
Todayama's body was shaken. Although he was protected by the immortal source, the huge impact still shook his body. He couldn't help but feel horrified. He grabbed the man and turned around. He saw the man who shot at him, who was following him.
The man came in front holding the girl hostage. This man was riding a horse and was still more than a hundred steps away. He saw that the arrow in Todayama actually did not fall, and the arrow did not enter Todayama's body and fell on the grass. He couldn't help but be shocked.
startle.
He reacted quickly, and immediately drew out another arrow and aimed it at Todayama. Yes, Todayama had already blocked the captured man in front of him. Others did not dare to shoot the arrow, but just babbled a lot of words that Todayama could not hear.
If you understand.
At this time, Shijun also ran over and spoke to the man in Ming French. The woman who was kidnapped also came back, talking to Shijin, and kept looking at Todayama. The man controlled by Todayama,
He kept shouting something.
After Shijuan spoke to the man holding the bow and arrow, the man put down the arrow.
Shiru said to Todasan: "I told them that we were businessmen passing by and came out when we heard someone calling for help. We are not bad people. They said this woman is a monster."
Todayama looked at the woman and saw that she was very beautiful. She was indeed not a human being. However, he was not a human being either. Since he saved her, he would save her to the end.
Todayama said: "What kind of monster are you? You two robbers, get out of here."
The two said: "We are the spiritual masters of Xiaoxitian. Who are you? Don't meddle in other people's business."
Todayama sneered: "Are you leaving or not?"
When the two men saw Todayama's approaching momentum, they rode away without saying anything else.
On this day, they came to the capital of France. It was a big city, two-thirds the size of Chang'an.
The Dazhong Bridge in Jimen is an important thoroughfare in the south of the city. To the east of the Dazhong Bridge are the Imperial Palace, the Five Prefectures and Six Ministries, and other major yamen. To the west are Limafu Street, Changfu Street, etc., which are scattered in an orderly manner.
There are many old houses. At first glance, some of them have lost their luster. The roof tiles have been replaced one after another, and they are no longer as neat as before. There are even vines climbing up the walls inside, but
Speaking of the age of these houses, they can often be traced back fifty or even hundreds of years.
Todayama had never seen such a big city. He stopped from time to time to look around, and Jujuu introduced it to him as he walked.
"Compared with Majiefu Street, where many dignitaries and dignitaries still live, Taili is even more shabby. This shabby does not mean deserted, but because the wealthy families who lived here in the past have been relocated due to the relocation of the capital.
Most of them, although there are still many old families with a long history left, are all outdated after all. Even though this is still the prime location closest to the imperial city and major government offices, after the Fa Dynasty moved the capital, the
Officials do not have to go to court, and prefer to live in other courtyards by the lake. There are many wealthy businessmen from other places who gather here to do business, making this once solemn place extremely noisy."
It was early in the morning, and the five government offices, six ministries, and other major government offices were all quiet in the morning light, but people rushing to get up early were already coming and going on the streets. There were also many people coming to draw water under the Dazhong Bridge.
The sound plus the voices of people made it quite noisy for a while, but at the end of the bridge where few people walked at this time, there was a young man lying weakly on the railing.
Shijuan has already found a place to live. They live in the main courtyard. As for the room in the front yard, an elderly couple lives there. The couple are both hired servants, and the husband is responsible for the doorstep, purchase and care.
If the owner of the carriage in the stable goes out for business, he will serve as coachman; while the wife is responsible for cooking, boiling water, washing, cleaning and other chores, and will not enter the second door unless summoned. The couple spend most of their time in the front yard.
There is a vegetable plot outside Xipingmen.
Todayama asked: "We live here and won't go to Gobe."
Shijun said: "That man is in Kyoto, but there is a powerful thug beside him. He is from Xiao Xitian, and he is one of the three eldest brothers of Lingpu Zhe."
Todayama asked: "Are the spirit slayers the ones who kill monsters?"
Shi Yan nodded and said: "Lingpu people have quite a lot of magical powers, so you have to be careful."
Todayama thought that he was a holy immortal, so he was afraid of the spiritual warriors. If they faced him, how many spiritual warriors would die.
