At this time, we arrived in the north of Qingzhou, exploring the remaining mountains of Beimang Mountain to the north into a small mountainous area of the grassland, and were about to reach the end of the land route.
The clouds in the sky are gray, and the icy north wind is howling, bringing cold air from the distant ice fields. The captain of the caravan guard is running back and forth, warning of the coming blizzard, urging: "...speed up your journey to avoid missing Stuening and letting the heavy snow fall.
It’s the end of the world if you’re stuck in the wilderness…”
There were also armed guards. He looked around vigilantly, saw Ye Qing, and nodded.
The grassland is not peaceful. This year's harvest is not good. Not only are the herdsmen short of food during the winter, but life is also difficult for bandits. Occasionally, they encounter horse bandits. When they bump into two real people, it is obvious who will be unlucky. Finally, along the way
It's a near miss.
Ye Qing and Liniang didn't ride in a car, they just rode on horses. They wore the same bulky clothes as everyone else, they were sheepskin fur robes, there was no big difference. They followed the flow all the way, but when they saw the caravan speeding up, they sped up a little bit.
Horse speed.
At this time, the clouds flashed, a stream of light flashed past, and a black shadow crashed into the deep valley.
There was a "boom" sound as the cliff collapsed, and the smoke cloud reached a height of a hundred feet, almost touching the low clouds, and could be faintly seen from ten miles away.
Ye Qing frowned, predicted the speed of the smoke, and waved to call the leader of the caravan: "There is a situation ahead, we have to take a detour to avoid danger."
"Ah? You don't know something, young master... This valley road is the shortest through the mountains, and there is always no problem." The fat middle-aged leader looked at the young master and hesitated.
We are about to arrive at Stuning Port City. There are real people in charge of port affairs to ensure the safety of this transportation thoroughfare. I have the impression that there are no spiritual beasts or bandits in this mountainous area. There is no need to create more complications...
Delay your speed. Being stuck in a snowstorm on this rarely populated north coast is no joke.
Ye Qing didn't say anything more. He just smiled, turned his horse and went to the side of the valley. He said unhurriedly: "Girl, follow me."
Liniang was very obedient and followed him. She didn't mind the girl's title. She just laughed secretly. The so-called Mr. Cao was just a name that Ye Zhenjun made up under the pretense of his mother's surname. His mother's family was Mrs. Cao's Cao family, but why was he called Cao Xueqin?
Woolen cloth?
"Well, the immortal's actions must have profound meanings, but my knowledge is shallow and I don't know the origin..."
Along the way, the True Lord often changed his route like this. Liniang was very used to it, and it was proven that she was right. Whether the caravan would follow her would depend on whether their choice was wise or not.
Soon, everyone in the caravan noticed that the movement ten miles away became louder, lightning flashed, and everyone was talking.
"This is……"
The fat leader thought about something and suddenly became excited: "Stop everyone, let's follow Mr. Cao and take a detour -"
The caravan hadn't gone far when the ground shook, rolling earth dragons, flying sand and rocks, flying grass and trees swept over where they were just now, and the lingering power was still there a few miles away. This made many people run away in fear, and even the horses pulling the cart were afraid.
Panic quickened the pace.
The wind blew through the valley, mixed with the overflow of spiritual energy, and even Liniang couldn't help but look back.
Under the gray clouds, there was a burst of dazzling thunder. Several lights and shadows chased and intertwined on the cliff. With her Yang Shen's eyesight, she could not see the human form at all. She could only sense that they all carried a powerful fairy aura and murderous smoke rising into the sky.
It made people feel chills all over, but they quickly disappeared from the sight of the two of them...
It wasn't until she couldn't feel the breath that she felt a little frightened. After thinking for a while, she asked: "Just now, was it an immortal battle?"
"Well, our two Bai De True Immortals are slightly weaker, but they have combined attack tactics. They may be a pair of Taoist companions. Opposite a peak True Immortal from the outer realm, it can be regarded as... a siege." Ye Qing judged the valley and said casually.
To put it bluntly...it's not actually a siege, both sides have their own wins.
However, considering that an injury to a true immortal from the outer realm will trigger a thunderstorm, the result will most likely be that the immortals from the heaven will win, or at least they will not lose. This is the home field advantage. At most, they will not be able to grab the heavenly power and let the heaven and earth swallow it up.
In fact, even if he loses, Ye Qing will not go over to help.
After all the recent events, he has deeply understood the differences in the interests of various lineages, and has completely lost the wishful thinking in the past. Now his thinking is very simple. As long as he is not an immortal of his own lineage, there is no need to go there to avoid leaking the news... Zhenglongshang and Bai
The virtue is that there is competition.
Besides, now that I am not a real person, how can I get involved in the battle between real immortals?
Let’s restore ourselves to a real person first
"The ultimate immortal..."
Liniang nodded when she confirmed the scale of the immortal battle. She was simple and didn't think too much. She just felt that it was natural to choose something else. The enemy opposite was a peak true immortal.
"This True Lord is just a clone, how can he participate in the Immortal War?" She murmured in her heart. Although it was a bit disrespectful to think like this, everything in the East China Sea must be based on strength. Anyone who doesn't do this would have been killed in the Blackwater Ocean.
The devil is on...
The two horses walked through the forest and the valley with the clatter of hooves. Then they heard the sound of wheels rolling, and the caravan caught up with them.
Fortunately, there seemed to be no casualties.
In fact, after the immortal left, although they didn't dare to get close, they still ran to a higher place and looked at the road. They found that it was completely filled with fallen rocks and ruins, making it impossible to pass.
So they followed, everyone was a little scared, and looked at Ye Qing with different eyes. They originally thought that he was just a noble prince who was traveling, and they all secretly laughed at him. Now they couldn't help overturning their guess, thinking that he was a monk, or a combination of the two...
...didn’t you see that this person has extraordinary experience and has a beautiful maid?
"I don't know why I came to the wilderness without a guard. The backcountry of Beihai is not a place where these big shots should come..."
Some people were secretly surprised, but strong men have natural power on the grassland. No one, including the fat leader who wanted to have a relationship, dared to ask more questions and just continued. After an hour, the caravan bypassed the landfill.
In the tight valley, when we were about to return to the main road, a checkpoint appeared in front of us.
"It's Stu Ning's Dao soldiers who set up cards, and there are some magicians from your country. Your Excellency..." The fat leader just came over and asked. With the businessman's pervasive habit of drilling into the camp, he had the intention to get to know the details of this big shot.
I wanted to see if there were any nobles from the Northern Wei Dynasty who came to Stuning on official business so that I could make some friends.
Ye Qing glanced at the more than a hundred Taoist soldiers, his expression as usual: "Just do what you have to do."
"Hey, yes..."
The fat leader sneered and went down, then went to the checkpoint and stuffed some money into the leading magician: "Sir, look at these cars of mine..."
"This amount of money?" The magician weighed it, a little dissatisfied: "Just now the immortals in heaven were chasing the external demons. I was ordered to set up a card on the ground to prevent the external demons from getting in. What are you trying to hide by bribing me?"
Damn it... if an outsider immortal sneaks in, you won't even know how you died, and you still check...
The fat leader cursed secretly in his heart. He could only laugh along and stuffed more money into his pocket: "We are all honest businessmen. We trade on a small scale. How dare we cause trouble..."
Honest businessman?
The magician laughed, heard Coke's joke, and threw half of the money to share with several subordinates. Seeing the happy faces of those idiots, he felt depressed in his heart: "If it hadn't been for the failure of the struggle in the sect, I would have been a promising rising star.
, will you be sent to this stupid Beihai?"
"This is the smallest Ten Thousand Household Office in the entire Wei State. It is also called a grinding exercise. Looking back, it will be of great use. I heard that the establishment of the Stuning Ten Thousand Household Office will be withdrawn in two months..."
Seeing this scene from a distance, Ye Qing was thoughtful, and Liniang whispered: "They are far different from the elites of the Wei State that I saw along the way. They are so corrupt... I really can't tell that they are soldiers from the same country."
"Hmm... As high as the mountain is, the emperor is far away. If you don't have any hope of progress, you can make more money."
When the caravan passed the inspection, the fat leader accompanied him and chatted a few words with the magician and several team captains. They got to know each other a little bit, so the magician looked better and did not check the goods in the caravan in detail.
After casting a spell to detect that there were no dangerous items, I just waved my hand to let them go.
When he arrived at Ye Qing, the magician glanced at the beautiful maid behind him. After being slightly startled, his eyes became a little fiery.
Looking at this noble man again, jealousy arose in his heart. After observing that there were no guards, he immediately waved his hands to stop the two of them: "Why are you here? Not to mention running business, I don't think so."
"I made an appointment with my relatives to go south on a sea voyage." Ye Qing said casually, but in fact it was not completely nonsense.
The magician's face changed slightly. He could run a sea ship and have some power. He must not be a down-and-out young master. He glanced at the beautiful maid behind him again and secretly cried out that it was a pity. He also noticed the long and narrow package in her hand. He didn't feel the gold aura. He touched it for a moment.
It’s unclear if it’s a weapon: “What’s in your bag?”
Lin Niang's eyebrows were raised, and she was a little angry. Ye Qing said lightly: "A sword."
"Sword? Let me take a look..." The magician was dissatisfied with this man's indifference, and thought to himself that only a noble would come to Stuning, and he was on duty to inspect. Even if he had some power, could he still compete with the majesty of Wei Dynasty?
Ye Qing held one end of the package, and there was a sound of sword sound, and a faint aura emitted. He glanced at the magician with a sneer: "When the sword comes out, you will see blood. Do you really want to see it?"
Kendo master...
The magician's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately took a few steps back and fell to the ground: "I don't know that the real person is coming. I'm rude. I'm really rude."
While the soldiers looked at each other in disbelief, Ye Qing held the bag and got on his horse, walking straight through the checkpoint and facing the salty smell of the sea breeze... The ocean of the world was right in front of him.
It should be vast, even rough, and narrow-minded people cannot bear this broadness.
Liniang snorted and stepped on the magician's hand with her embroidered shoes as she followed him, crushing her twice hard. She was retaliating for the rudeness of the magician just now, but she, a real person born in Dongzhou, was very alert and at the same time, she stood behind the magician.
Pay attention to the surrounding situation and defend Ye Qing in case of danger.
The magician endured it and even smiled. It was not until Ye Qing was far away that she jumped on her horse and chased after him, whispering: "Zhenjun, he regards you as the Jinmai Zhenren of Wei.
"Swordsmanship is a variant of the Golden Vein. Although there is a big difference, prairie swordsmen do account for half of the world's swordsmen. His judgment cannot be said to be wrong...even though I am now the Great Perfection of Qi Refining."
Far behind, with the ears of two real people, I heard the words of the checkpoint soldiers and magicians: "Why did you let them go just now? The city issued an order, not to cooperate with the fairy war, but to not let anyone suspicious.
Wait, especially the golden-veined monks?"
"Idiot, that real person can kill all of us here with just one sword. He has a good temper and didn't take action. How could it be an external demon?" The magician said in a low voice. He estimated that the real person Shiliying couldn't hear.
"It turns out that the people of Central China have this kind of thinking. Only those with strength and good temper will be liked, and those without strength and good temper will be bullied..." Liniang sighed with emotion.
Ye Qing laughed: "This is human nature, isn't it the same as yours?"
"It's us." Liniang corrected her seriously. She regained consciousness and dared to talk to the immortal like this. Even though she was a clone, it was still scary.
She carefully looked at Ye Qing's face and felt that he was not angry, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "Actually, our tempers are not very good... Well, think about it, a group of people die every year, and it's probably their turn.
Who, who cares about being gentle and elegant? That’s why Uncle Master chose a few of us to invite you... Originally, if you were the master in the past, there would be no Immortal Sect that would be dissatisfied with, but you came here as a clone, so don’t be surprised if you are rude. "
"It depends on the situation. My temper is actually not very good." Ye Qing said seriously.
"Well……"
Liniang tilted her head, appearing to express a deep moment of silence for her comrades, but actually she was secretly happy and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "I didn't feel the sword energy in me during the whole journey before."
"It's not something you can feel."
Could it be...
Liniang blinked and whispered: "That sword?"
"It's going to snow, let's hurry up." Ye Qing rode ahead.
Not getting a direct answer, Liniang's face turned red. She had heard about the power of this sword, so she suppressed her excitement and followed quickly...
No wonder the clone of the true king didn't care at all when he faced the pinnacle true immortal from the outer realm just now. With this level of killing immortal treasure in hand, he could easily break through the enemy's defense and scratch a wound on the enemy, followed by rolling thunder.
The scene should not be too beautiful.
Originally she thought this journey back home was bleak, but now it suddenly became brighter.
Under the dark clouds, the two riders galloped along the dirt road, with extremely strong water vapor appearing on the horizon. In mid-November, they finally completed their journey of thousands of miles.
