Wen Zhaoruo hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about, now you will learn from Lou Yan to make fun of me," he paused, and then said, "Marrying a wife and having children is a common thing in life," and then turned around He turned his face and looked at the bonfire in front of him.

Jiang Lizhi looked sideways at Wen Zhaoruo, Wen Zhaoruo's face was bright and dark in the firelight, even though he turned his face sideways, his eyes could still be seen flickering.

Jiang Lizhi also turned his eyes away, no longer looking at Wen Zhaoruo, but only looking at the pile of bonfires, both of them were speechless.

After sitting for half the night, the two of them rode horses on the journey again, and arrived at Jiaozhou at noon the next day.

Here in Jiaozhou, there are some poor mountains and rivers, there are many bandits robbing the road, and there are rumors that the officials and bandits here belong to a family, Wen Zhaoruo and Jiang Lizhi couldn't help being careful, they didn't want to waste time in Jiaozhou.

The two of them led their horses into the city, and the officers and soldiers went down to interrogate them. After seeing their faces, they were let into the city.

When you enter the city, you will see gangsters everywhere, there is no one who sells meat under the gate of the city. The butcher is chopping meat with a machete for chopping firewood, and the meat is splattered everywhere.

Wen Zhaoruo secretly blocked Jiang Lizhi's side, and said to Jiang Lizhi, "Let's find a place, buy two bites of food, and go."

Jiang Lizhi nodded in agreement, and the two led their horses towards the city.Within two steps, there was a family baking pancakes, Wen Zhaoruo handed the reins over to Jiang Lizhi, and went to buy pancakes.

When we arrived at the stall, Wen Zhaoruo said, "I want two pancakes."

The baker squinted his eyes and smiled, "Success." Then he reached out his hand, fished out two cakes from the big oven, threw them on the table, and said to Wen Zhaoruo, "One for three, A total of six coins."

Wen Zhaoruo handed over the six cents, picked up the pancakes, and was about to turn around, but heard the pancake buyer ask, "Is the young master a foreigner? I haven't seen the young master yet."

Wen Zhaoruo didn't want to talk to him, so he said, "I came to the city to find someone," and then turned and left.

The cake buyer raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, followed Wen Zhaoruo with his eyes, and saw Jiang Lizhi standing not far away, looked at it for a while, and then looked away.

Wen Zhaoruo handed the cake to Jiang Lizhi, Jiang Lizhi took it, Wen Zhaoruo whispered in Jiang Lizhi's ear, "You can't stay here for long."

Jiang Lizhi raised his eyes when he heard the words, looked at Wen Zhaoruo, nodded and replied, "I know," he asked, "Where are the people following us?"

Wen Zhaoruo frowned slightly, and said, "I guess I haven't caught up now, so let's go first."

Hearing this, Jiang Lizhi responded, "Understood."

There is an old saying that a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, even though Wen Zhaoruo and Jiang Lizhi both possess excellent martial arts, they don't want to stay here either.

The two went straight to the way out of the city, and when they reached the gate of the city, there was another interrogating soldier, and the two of them stepped forward, but this time it was not as smooth as when they entered the city.

The interrogating soldiers were chattering, asking this and that, going back and forth, but refused to lift the checkpoint and let people go.

Jiang Lizhi frowned slightly and looked at Wen Zhaoruo.

The two looked at each other, and they understood each other's meaning. Wen Zhaoruo felt a little helpless, so he took out a sachet from his sleeve and threw it into the soldier's hand.

As soon as the soldier caught the sachet, he smiled and waved his hands repeatedly to signal his subordinates to release the card.

In this way, Wen Zhaoruo and Jiang Lizhi had just left the city, but Jiang Lizhi's brows did not relax, he knew in his heart that if he gave this sachet, he would be showing off his wealth.

Wen Zhaoruo was helpless because of this, most of the people in the city had cunning and vicious faces, once the money to go out of the city was taken out, the matter would not be easy to end.

Outside the city is an official road with mountains on both sides. No wonder people here are unwilling to go there. There are no good places in and outside the city. If they didn't want to get to the southern border quickly, they wouldn't take this shortcut .

Wen Zhaoruo and Jiang Lizhi urged the horses and rode the horses fast, they just wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible, after they got out of this place, they went to the official road, which was the road to Lanzhou, that was the right road, naturally Much more stable.

But their wishes were not fulfilled, the two left Jiaozhou City, rode for half an hour, and when they reached a narrow place at a road crossing, a group of people rushed out, each holding a long knife, and stopped the two of them. people's way.

The leader of the bandit didn't turn the corner, and said directly, "You two dare to walk this Jiaozhou road, you must have brought enough money."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Zhaoruo threw the money over, and the bandit leader picked it up, and smiled at Wen Zhaoruo, "What a straightforward person," he said, and put the money away, but turned to Wen Zhaoruo again. Jiang Lizhi said, "Where's this son's?"

Jiang Lizhi frowned, not wanting these people to be so greedy, so he also took the money from his sleeve and threw it away.

I just thought that it should be done now, but the bandit leader said again, "You two, I think your horses are not bad, why don't you keep them together, it's a good intention."

Wen Zhaoruo laughed when he heard the words, "You won't even get the money, but you even want a horse?"

The bandit leader smiled and said, "Oh, I've been walking on this mountain road all year round. I want two good horses, so it's easier to run."

Hearing that, Wen Zhaoruo snorted coldly, flew forward, and snatched the long knife from the gangster who rushed to the front with his hands, raised the knife and cut off the man's head directly, spilling blood, The man's body was still standing upright.

Wen Zhaoruo smiled and said, "Don't be shameless, I don't want to start a killing spree," kicking the dead man to the ground, tearing off a piece of the man's clothes, wiping the blood off the blade, and throwing it on the ground. In front of the bandit leader.

This trip was extremely shocking, Jiang Lizhi sat on the horse, saw the faces of the bandits change again and again, then smiled and passed up the steps, threw a bag of silver ingots over, and said, "Okay, this is compensation. Let's go."

The bandit leader took the money, he was not stupid, but after thinking about it, he yelled, "Let's withdraw," and left on the same path.

Seeing this, Wen Zhaoruo looked back and smiled at Jiang Lizhi, got on his horse again, and said, "Let's go."

The two left here, walked for a while, and went to the official road to Lanzhou. Jiang Lizhi suddenly called Wen Zhaoruo and said, "Zhaoruo, wipe your face."

Wen Zhaoruo reined in when he heard the words, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Lizhi handed over the handkerchief and said, "There is blood on my face, I haven't seen it just now."

Wen Zhaoruo smiled and took the handkerchief, wiped it, looked at Jiang Lizhi, Jiang Lizhi nodded, "It's clean."

The two went on again, but the official road to Lanzhou was much longer than the two imagined. At dusk, the two saw a post station and decided to rest there for the night.

The two of them entered the inn. This inn was very large, and as soon as they entered, someone came up to pick up their horses and untied them.

Presumably there should be only such an inn far and near, and all the visitors from the past are here, and there are many people who sell wine.

He also said that Wen Zhaoruo and Jiang Lizhi came by coincidence, and there happened to be only one room left, so they lived in one room.

If Wen Zhao was hungry, he would go downstairs to order food and drink, but Jiang Lizhi was not hungry, but just felt tired, so he asked Xiaoer to get hot water, washed him briefly, and then went to bed on his side.

Wen Zhaoruo was eating downstairs, thinking about what Jiang Lizhi should come down to eat, after he ate for a while, when Jiang Lizhi didn't come down, he took a plate of peanuts by himself and went upstairs to have a look.

Pushing open the door and entering, Jiang Lizhi pulled a corner of the quilt to cover him, lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully.

Wen Zhaoruo sighed softly, thinking that Jiang Lizhi was tired, so he closed the door lightly and went out, and went downstairs for dinner.

Jiang Lizhi was really tired and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, the light was already on. Wen Zhaoruo sat on the chair beside him, and just looked at the map with the light on.

Jiang Lizhi just looked at Wen Zhaoruo, he felt that Wen Zhaoruo didn't seem to be looking at the map, but just holding the map in a daze, so he asked, "What are you thinking?"

Wen Zhaoruo was startled when he heard the words, put the map down, looked at Jiang Lizhi, and said, "You didn't make a sound when you woke up, you scared me."

Jiang Lizhi smiled in a low voice, "I just woke up," and then sat up from the bed, stretched a long way, got up and bought himself a cup of tea.

Wen Zhaoruo asked, "Li Zhi, are you hungry?"

Jiang Lizhi shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, that piece of pancake is pretty good, I won't be hungry after eating for a long time."

After hearing this, Wen Zhaoruo said, "Hey, if you're not hungry, take another sip. I'll ask someone to bring you some porridge, so you won't be hungry at night."

Hearing this, Jiang Lizhi thought about it and thought it was okay, so he said, "Well, then I'll go down and serve a bowl myself," then got up, went out of the room and went downstairs.

After a while, Jiang Lizhi brought the porridge, sat across from Wen Zhaoruo, and started eating.

Wen Zhaoruo watched, suddenly smiled, and said, "It's only been a few days, and I feel like you've lost weight."

Jiang Lizhi smiled and said, "If you lose weight, it's okay." Then he asked, "What did you look at with the map just now?"

Wen Zhaoruo responded, "Let's see how far we have left, we can get out of the customs," he said after a slight pause, and then said, "I think we have to find a guide after we get out of the customs."

Jiang Lizhi stopped eating the porridge, and asked, "Why, the route is not clear?"
