In the deep mountains on the border of Huaiyang, from a distance, one mountain is connected to another. In the era of underdeveloped transportation, the Miao people lived in the mountains for generations. Occasionally, some Miao people who did business went to the towns along the Central Plains to do business and live. But people from the Central Plains rarely go inside.

The roads in the deep mountains are difficult to walk, and there are many beasts and poisons. Except for the Miao people who have lived for generations, and a few Han people who intermarry with them, they are willing to live here, and the outsiders are still not sensitive to this place.

And even if it is adjacent to it, you can often see people wearing Miao costumes and people, ordinary people are still a little afraid of them.

In this undeveloped deep mountain and old forest where Zhao Xueyang and the others camped, there were no roads for people to walk on.

While looking at the road, Zhao Xi followed Xiao Hei's direction and touched the large army that was gradually moving away.

He remembered the way he came here, while paying attention to the surrounding environment, until he heard the sound of not too loud water flow.

"Xiao Hei—" he yelled under his throat.

The grass on the left moved, his ears moved, and his eyes turned to look in that direction.

inexplicable

With his sixth sense, he subconsciously felt that something was lurking behind the bushes over there, and something was wrong.

Not caring about looking for Xiao Hei anymore, Zhao Xi stopped all movements, turned around and wanted to go back to find the big troops.

The grass moved again, revealing a small black tail.

The tail swung around, pushing the grass away a bit, and then he saw a black snake forcefully stuffing a brown poisonous snake of about the same size into its big mouth.

It seemed that after a struggle, he saw Xiao Hei's body twisted into a twist, his mouth opened wide, and most of the snake was swallowed.It also caused Xiao Hei's body to double in size.

Zhao Xi stared at it blankly, and murmured: "You are so ugly—"

Xiao Hei: "..."

He waited quietly for Xiao Hei to hunt, the sound of water coming from his ears fluctuated, stood up and looked around, it seemed that he was not far from here.

A place with water is not far away from people, so he can't go there.

It is full of trees and moss that cover the sky and the sun, and it is easy to feel cold after staying for a long time.

Zhao Xi touched his nose and sneezed.

"Aqiu-"

"Shusha—" A sound of grass being scraped sounded.

Zhao Xi's eyes widened, and he heard footsteps approaching, as if that person had also heard his sneeze just now.

The footsteps paused, and then seemed to be coming this way.

Didn't it mean that there are no Miao people here?Zhao Xi thought to himself.What's going on, is it a scout?

It can be hidden around here, but it will definitely be found.Zhao Xi squinted at Xiao Hei whose throat was so stuffed that he couldn't eat.

I knew this stupid snake couldn't count on it.

He took out the short knife at his waist and held it in his hand, squatted down and kicked his legs on the ground. This was a very explosive posture, ready to cut the man's throat anytime he showed up.

The sound of shoes stepping on fallen leaves was very close, and it sounded like the man had slipped.

Then a clump of plants with fat leaves was pushed aside, and a person stood behind and looked down at him.

It was a young man with a deep and handsome face, and his facial features seemed to be of barbarian blood.High nose and deep eyes, a pair of eyes slightly blue.And he has a head of slightly gray silver hair, loose like a head of fine satin.

Zhao Xi and him looked at each other for a moment, and was stunned by his appearance, and murmured.

What is the setting of this world, why are there still Europeans and Americans?

"Who are you?" He was quite a bully, asking others in a vicious voice.

The young man was stunned, and said in unproficient Chinese: "I am a villager near here, and you are...?"

This deserted place, Zhao Xi didn't know where he came from, worried in his heart that he was sent by the enemy, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

But I was afraid that he was just an ordinary villager, so it was not easy to kill people to silence him.

He doesn't know kung fu, and he is afraid that if the boy hides his secrets and is subdued by him, he doesn't know what to do.

Of course, he was more amazed by his appearance.

"Why are you silver-haired and blue-eyed?"

"..."

This question seemed a bit offensive, the young man pursed his lips, and suddenly pointed to Xiao Hei who was eating and said, "Is that your snake? He ate my pet." There was a bit of resentment in his eyes.

Zhao Xi was embarrassed for a moment, quite self-conscious as a parent of a bear, and said confidently: "Who knew it was your snake, and you didn't write the name!"

Listening to his words, the young man blinked his blue eyes.

"You are a foreigner, what are you doing here? Are you from Huaiyang?"

Appears to be an insider.

"You know?" Zhao Xi asked.

"Well," the boy nodded and walked over. "A few days ago, when I was gathering herbs, I saw some people passing by here. They should be soldiers from Huaiyang."

Zhao Xi was dubious: "When did it happen?"

"About half a month ago."

King Huaiyang has been missing for almost a month. Did he still pass by here half a month ago?

"Well, King Miao is at war with Huaiyang. Our village is the closest to Huaiyang. I used to go shopping in the city, but now I haven't gone out for a long time because of this incident." The boy said.

Xiao Hei swallowed the snake completely, dragged his bloated body and quietly plunged into the grass and disappeared.

Zhao Xi saw that the young man seemed easy to talk and didn't seem to be aggressive. Even if his identity was unknown, he shouldn't be hurt.So he lowered his guard a bit, and wanted to ask more questions.

"Are you here to rescue your king?" The young man was a little taller than him, carrying a small bamboo basket.

He thought about it, nodded and admitted.

"You seem to be a step late. He has already been arrested and taken to Wushan City."

"Wushan City—what's that place?"

"The place where King Miao and his army live is a city made up of dozens of villages. You shouldn't come in. Once you come, you can't get out. Even if they don't kill you, the poison here will make you die in the mountains. .”

The young man's tone was quite pitiful, and his blue eyes looked at Zhao Xi without blinking, giving him a very gentle temperament.

Zhao Xi smiled at him and said, "Aren't you a subject of your king, why do you tell me everything?"

He shook his head, "I'm just an ordinary villager, and I don't know much."

"What's your name?"

"Kunlun."

"Have you seen Kunlun?"

He shook his head: "I started it myself. It is said that it is a fairy mountain in the north. I have no parents. They say I am from the north."

The northernmost is a nomad, and his parents may be from there.

Kunlun is young, has fair skin, and always speaks calmly, making it hard to be annoying.

The same is true for Zhao Xi, he sat down and chatted with the young man, Kunlun didn't seem to know much, and talking about the war from the perspective of a Miao people, it was also an ordinary believer's point of view.

"Some people in our village were also arrested and served as soldiers. I didn't go because I was not yet 17 years old."

"Is this mandatory?" Zhao Xi asked.

Kunlun nodded, frowning slightly: "A lot of people died in the war, and people need to go, so every village is old enough to go to the battlefield."

"I used to go to Huaiyang City to sell medicines, because the war has not ended for a long time. What will happen if you save King Huaiyang? Will you bring troops in?"

Facing the slightly childish face of the previous boy, Zhao Xi couldn't say anything cruel, but said vaguely: "We are here to rescue this time, and it's hard to say what will happen next."

"Oh." Kunlun's eyes showed yearning: "The lotus outside is blooming, I really want to see it..."

Zhao Xiyou chatted with him about other things, the atmosphere was good for a while, Kunlun was very quiet, and it was Zhao Xi who said he answered.During this period, Zhao Xi's right hand rested casually on his knee, which was very close to the dagger.

There was the sound of the wind, and the rustling of the grass and trees, hiding the sound of footsteps.

Kunlun didn't seem to notice anything, his silver hair fluttered, his blue eyes were like the sea, and he smiled gently at him.

After the sound of the wind, a group of people, wearing soft armor and short knives, surrounded him at some point in the thick grass and dense forest around him.

Zhao Xueyang came out from behind Zhao Xi, her gentle and jade-like face remained calm.The corners of her lips rose slightly, but there was no warmth in those eyes.

The little black snake in his hand was bloated and lazily spit out the letter.
