I have a seal of two worlds

Chapter 396 Joining the Team and Entering Lingshan

Lingbei Road, Rongzhou, Linling County.

"So, didn't you take this official path last time?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"No……"

Lu Zheng looked at the mountain pass in front of him, although it wasn't crowded with people, he felt speechless for a while.

"At that time, I was Lingshan who directly crossed through with the ground travel technique."

Between Lingbei Road and Lingnan Road, there is a huge mountain range, the Lingshan Mountains.

In addition to the roads that go around the mountains on both sides of the Lingshan Mountains, there have also been mountain roads running through the mountains since ancient times, connecting the two roads.

Although most of the mountain roads are rugged and difficult mountain paths, after gradually exploring in the past dynasties, they have also found a relatively easy road, which can be regarded as the official road.

Of course, the price of easy roads is to use several mountain roads and make several big bends, and the distance is at least three or four times that of other small roads.

Even so, this distance is much shorter than bypassing Lingshan, not to mention that this road has always been maintained by the imperial court, and there are official post stations, inns, tea stalls and wine shops opened by some mountain people on the road. field.

Therefore, generally large caravans or teams that pursue safety will go the official way together.

And some people who are anxious to make money, or are familiar with the road, or have little luggage, or are more courageous, may take the path.

"Go, into the mountains."

Last time, Lu Zheng was in a hurry and didn't want to cause trouble, so he used land skills to rush the journey, but this time he and Liu Qingyan traveled south to southern Xinjiang. Apart from attending Hu Zhou's wedding, they also accompanied his sister on a tour of the mountains and rivers along the way. , Of course, you can't put Liu Qingyan in a gourd and walk on your way.

Lu Zheng held Liu Qingyan's hand, and the two were ready to enter the mountain.

"Young master, are you two planning to go to the mountains for fun, or are you planning to go to Lingnan Road?" A voice sounded beside the two of them.

Lu Zheng looked back, and saw a thin middle-aged man coming to the two of them with a smile on his face.

"Why, brother, do you have something to say?" Lu Zheng couldn't help asking.

"It's not early in the day, I think you two are still going to enter the mountain, maybe you are in a hurry to go to Lingnan Road?"

"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.

"Although the official road is safe, there are many pedestrians on the road, and there are queues at several bridges. It will take at least ten days to cross Lingshan." The middle-aged man said, "If you two are in a hurry, you can go with the next The small caravan is on the same road, and I know a mountain road, and I can cross Lingshan in four days."

Lu Zheng followed the eyes of the middle-aged man to the side of the road, and saw seven or eight wheelbarrows on the side of the road, followed by four powerful men with knives and guns.

"I heard that Lingshan is not safe inside, and ordinary beasts are fine. It is said that there are all kinds of mountain spirits and tree monsters in the mountains." Lu Zheng said, "There are imperial inns and garrisons on the official road, which can ensure safety. If you take other roads, why not Isn't it dangerous?"

"How can there be so many mountain elves and tree monsters in the world? If there are foreign objects everywhere, how can it be Da Jingchao's turn?" The beasts were also beaten away by the guards several times.

This time I also saw that the two were in a hurry, so I just invited them. If the two are willing, as long as they pay some money to hire guards, I am willing to take the two into the mountain together. "

For a small business, time is money, and this middle-aged man is unwilling to waste more than ten days of crossing Lingshan.

Now seeing that Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan were well dressed, they invited them to save some money for hiring guards.

"How much?" Lu Zheng asked.

In other words, he didn't plan to take the official road at all. After all, it was too slow and it was not convenient for people to show his holiness. His idea was to follow the official road and turn into the small road when he could, which would definitely be better than the official road with a big bend. close.

Now that there is an expert who is familiar with the road, Lu Zheng will naturally not refuse.

"Twice is enough!" The middle-aged man looked at the light baggage behind Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan, "You two don't have to worry about eating on the road, you have a lot to take with you."

Lu Zheng took out a handful of precious banknotes from his pocket, took out two of them and handed them to the middle-aged man, "Just lead the way, you don't have to worry about eating."

Seeing the roll of treasured banknotes in Lu Zheng's hand, the middle-aged man was taken aback, then quickly looked around, and immediately said in a low voice, "My lord, quickly put away the treasured banknotes, if you want to know that your wealth is not in vain, Ling Shanzhi There are few people in the middle, so don't attract the attention of people with bad intentions!"

"Thank you for the reminder, but it's okay, I still have some strength to protect myself." Lu Zheng smiled, and wrapped the white jade folding fan around his fingers, playing a trick.

The middle-aged man grinned, thinking in his heart that no wonder he dared to bring a girl into the mountain, so he was still a practitioner, but if he was not a warrior, he could only deal with ordinary people after all.

So……

Is this son a warrior?

The middle-aged man quietly looked at Lu Zheng, but he couldn't tell.

"This way please, both of you, by the way, I don't know what to call you?" The middle-aged man mentioned, and then introduced himself, "My surname is Luo, Luo Jin, and you two can call me Lao Luo."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Lu Zheng."

Liu Qingyan replied, "My surname is Liu."

"Master Lu, Miss Liu!"

Luo Jin brought the two of them to his team, "It's just after noon, and we're ready to go, and we can reach a mountain hut prepared by Orion at night, what else do you two need to prepare?"

"No need." Lu Zheng shook his head.

"Okay!" Luo Jin nodded, then greeted the four guards, and said to the leader, "Brother Zhang, you can go!"

Seeing that Luo Jin brought Lu Zheng over together, everyone got ready and got up one after another.

That old brother Zhang looked at Lu Zheng and the two, nodded at Luo Jin, and said with a smile, "It really made you meet two singles, you are really worthy of the name of Lao Luo!"

Luo Jin laughed and said, "Small business, save as much as you can."

The man surnamed Zhang looked at Lu Zheng again, focusing on Liu Qingyan, "Although the small road is fast, it is not easy to walk. Think about it? We are all used to mountain roads, so we won't wait for you."

Liu Qingyan smiled slightly, "Brother, please rest assured, we also came here through hard times, and walking on the mountain road is like going home."

The man surnamed Zhang's eyes lit up, "Hey, you are thin-skinned and tender, I really didn't see it, okay, just walk around and you'll find out, enter the mountain!"

The man surnamed Zhang doesn't really care. He has walked this mountain road for more than three years, and he has gone back and forth dozens of times. Most of them just met some bobcats, occasionally leopards and big bugs, and some of them. Once a pack of wolves, but they managed to deal with it without any risk.

So, two more weak chickens are two more weak chickens, it doesn't matter, he can cover it!
After tidying up, everyone went into the mountain.
