across mountains and seas

The next day, early morning.

Liu Xi and Jing Lan woke up very early, and soon got dressed up.In order not to let Ye Tianxin see it, Jing Lan wore a gray cloth dress, deliberately pulled out her temple hair, curled it and hung on the side of her face, and stuck a circle of small beard on the side of her face.

Shen Jiangli pulled Jing Lan to look up and down, feeling something was wrong.

Liu Xi took a closer look, frowned and said, "It's too tender, but it doesn't look like it."

Shen Jiangli thought about it, rummaged through the small wooden box for a while, found a bottle of medicinal powder, and poured it into his palm. Wherever the medicinal powder touched, his skin instantly turned blue.

Liu Xi said in shock, "Will it hurt?"

Shen Jiangli shook his head, "Yes, wash." As she spoke, she smeared the medicinal powder on Jing Lan's left cheek, creating an irregular cyan birthmark.

In order to reassure Liu Xi, she took out another bottle of medicinal powder, shook it on the part of her palm that had turned blue, and with just one swipe, the blue color faded away.

Liu Xi let out a long breath of relief.

Jing Lan looked at her strange self in the mirror, and she bent her body slightly. Looking at it this way, she couldn't find the slightest trace of Jing Xiaowu's profile.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile and said, "Ugly."

"You have to endure the ugly!" Jing Lan chuckled triumphantly, "Anyway, you agreed to let me follow, you can't go back on your word now!"

Shen Jiangli nodded heavily, "No, yes!" After finishing speaking, she grabbed Liu Xi's clothes.

Liu Xi shook her head helplessly and smiled, "I don't regret it."

Jing Lan glanced at Chong Xiao who was placed beside the bed, Liu Xi's sparse shadow could be carried with her, but if she held Chong Xiao, no matter how she looked like Jing Xiaowu, people would guess who she was.

Liu Xi picked up Chong Xiao and handed it to Shen Jiangli, "Sister, take a piece of cloth to cover it up, and then help Ah Lan carry it."

Shen Jiangli nodded, quickly wrapped Chong Xiao up and carried it behind his back.

Liu Xi said again: "If something happens, remember..."

"Saving your life is paramount."

"Up, up!"

Jing Lan and Shen Jiangli knew she would say this, and the three of them couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled.

The three of them had already made their preparations, and the other nine selected were also Jing's guards, their martial arts were a bit stronger than ordinary soldiers.

At that time, Ye Tianxin left Sanshan Pass with Liu Xi and his party.

Uncle Jing Jiu re-armed Sanshan Pass as previously agreed, and sent additional people to keep an eye on Mrs. Ye, cutting her off from any contact with the outside world.

Unexpectedly, at noon, Jing Tan rode to Sanshan Pass alone.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely from anxiety, Uncle Jing Jiu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Second Young Master, why are you here?"

"Where's General Liu?" Jing Tan asked anxiously.

Uncle Jing Jiu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Second Young Master, talk inside."

Jing Tan followed Uncle Jing Jiu to the main hall of the Sanshan Pass. After dismissing the idlers, Uncle Jing Jiu closed the door and said in a low voice, "General Liu has already taken Miss Ye away."

Jing Tan was anxious, "Which direction are you going?!"

Uncle Jing Jiu frowned and asked, "Second Young Master, has Donglin City changed?"

"Donglin City is fine, it's General Liu who has something to do!" Jing Tan didn't know how to make it clear to Uncle Jing Jiu, "The Asura Court issued an order to kill General Liu, and this time it's the three hall masters of the Asura Court! General is dangerous!"

Uncle Jing Jiu just looked at Jing Tan quietly, and asked in a deep voice, "Second Young Master, where did you hear this news?"

Jing Tan opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to answer Uncle Jing Jiu's words.

Uncle Jing Jiu said seriously: "The situation is complicated now, Second Young Master should not be used by others."

"Uncle Nine, I can guarantee my life, I'm telling the truth!" Jing Tan suddenly knelt down on the ground, "I beg you, tell me, which direction is General Liu going? I promise, After I tell her, I will come back, and I will never drag her down!"

Uncle Jing Jiu had never seen Jing Tan so flustered, nor had he been kneeled down by any of the Jing family's sons.He grabbed Jing Tan's arms in a panic, trying to pull him up, "Second Young Master, what are you doing? Get up quickly!"

"Uncle Jiu, I have never begged you for anything. You have also watched me grow up. You know that I have no ill intentions for Mrs. Dongjing!" As soon as Jing Tan said this, Uncle Jing Jiu could not find him. Half a sentence of reasons for rejecting him.

"They pretended to be businessmen and walked all the way west. They didn't take the official road leading directly to Xiyang City, but took the commercial road to the west." After Uncle Jing Jiu finished speaking worriedly, he sighed deeply, "Second Young Master, wait a moment, I will Get some people to escort you there."

"No! Since General Liu and the others are pretending to be businessmen, I can't lead my troops to chase them in a grandiose way. This will reveal their whereabouts instead." Jing Tan shook his head, looked down at his clothes, "Uncle Jiu, prepare a suit for me." Put on business clothes and change a horse for me."

"Okay." Uncle Jing Jiu helped Jing Tan up, "Second Young Master, you also have to be careful."

"Ok!"

Jing Tan only rested at Sanshan Pass for half a moment, hurriedly changed into his business travel clothes, changed into a fast horse, and chased in the direction that Uncle Jing Jiu said.

There are many bandits in West Shenzhou, and every caravan that enters West Shenzhou will hurry up, wanting to pass through West Shenzhou quickly, go to Changqing Prefecture, or come to East Fuzhou for trade.So after Liuxi and his party walked on the business road, they speeded up their horseshoes like other business travelers.

Liu Xi, Shen Jiangli, and Ye Tianxin were sitting in the carriage. Shen Jiangli occasionally lifted the curtain to see the scenery of the business road outside, but Liu Xi and Ye Tianxin chose to close their eyes and rest.

Liu Xi thought, it should be considered safe during the day, but once it's night, it's hard to say.

Ye Tianxin knew that she was just a spectator during this journey, so she could say as little as possible, and the quieter she hibernated, the better.Even, she quietly touched the small machine crossbow hidden in her sleeve, on it was a silver needle quenched with the poison of [Huangquan], she kept one last time, and it just came in handy this time.

She had to see the right time to get this shot, either Shen Jiangli or Liu Xi, anyway, if they entered West Shenzhou, anything could happen to the two of them.

What she needs to think about is, how to rule out her suspicion quietly?It was the same as it was in Donglin City.

Jing Lan followed behind on horseback, quietly looking at the mountains on the left and right.Walking west for half a day from here, there are all such rocky mountains, and there are no tall trees in the mountains.This commercial road has a long history, and there are still some chisel marks left on the mountain walls on both sides of the commercial road. It has long been unknown who led people to chisel it out of this rocky mountain.

If the sun is shining brightly, if you lie in ambush here...

Jing Lan raised her head and glanced at the mountain walls on both sides. This business road is not narrow, and the mountain walls on both sides are also inclined to both sides.Even if someone were to ambush above and tie a rope down from above, the merchants below would have escaped a long time ago. Rather than ambush above, it would be better to block both ends of the commercial road.

"Crack."

There was a soft sound of gravel in the cold wind.

Jing Lan's ears were sharp, and she followed the prestige, but there was no one on the top of the stone wall obliquely behind.

Do you really dare to fight against the sky?Jing Lan felt that something was wrong, so he rode the horse and approached the carriage, and knocked on the wall of the carriage three times.

Hearing the sound, Liu Xi opened her eyes and opened the curtain of the car, looking at Jing Lan, "What's the matter?"

Jing Lan didn't speak, she just pointed to the top and nodded to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi didn't expect those people to attack in the daytime, she poked her head out and glanced at it, and said calmly, "Array."

Jing Lan reined in her horse and stopped, raising her hand to signal the guards on both sides of the convoy to change their formation.

Hearing the sound of leather rubbing, including Jing Lan, they all took out a leather shield from the side of the saddle and put it on their right arm.

The carriage continued to move forward. There was one person guarding with a shield in front of the carriage, three guards on each side of the carriage, and the remaining two guarded with shields behind.

Liu Xi sat back in the carriage, raised her hand and patted the top of the carriage wall, which touched a certain mechanism, and the iron wire jingled, and soon an iron net was woven on the top of the carriage wall.

With this iron net in place, Liu Xi is not afraid that the random arrows from above will penetrate the wall of the car and hurt the people inside.

The coachman quickly put on the wire armor that was kept at the side, and with a wave of his hand, he covered the backs of the two horses.The so-called shoot a man first and shoot a horse, and you can't let the back arrow hurt the horse first.

"drive!"

A fast horse came galloping from behind.

The carriage was vigilant at the front, rear, left, and right sides, but when the horse was getting closer, Jing Lan frowned, and called out in a low voice, "Second brother?"

Jing Tan anxiously looked around in the caravan. When he saw the guards of the caravan pick up leather shields, he knew these leather shields, which were one of Dongjing's improved war preparations.

He let out a long sigh of relief and didn't yell loudly.

Jing Tan rode over and didn't recognize Jing Lan on the side of the carriage for a moment.The accompanying guards recognized that this was his second son.No one said hello, Jing Tan lightly tapped on the car wall, pretending to ask someone: "Excuse me, have you ever seen three girls passing by here?"

Liu Xi frowned when she heard his voice, why is he here at this time?

Shen Jiangli heard Jing Tan's voice and exclaimed, "Two..."

But before she finished speaking, Liu Xi tugged at her sleeve, she could only hold back her words.

"No." Liu Xi answered simply.

After hearing Liu Xi's voice, Jing Tan's hanging heart was finally relieved, and he said seriously: "If the boss sees those three girls behind him, can you give me a word for the next generation?"

"Tell me." Liu Xi only felt uneasy, and always felt that everything that had been planned before seemed to be changing.

Jing Tan said again: "Those three girls of mine are ignorant, they provoked people who shouldn't be provoked, and they have three powerful ones, they must be careful in everything."

Ye Tianxin was confused, even her employer didn't know how many people would come from Shura Court, how could the second son of the Jing family know that there would be three powerful people coming?

"Remember it." Liu Xi nodded, his heart full of doubts.

The second brother Jing came here in such a busy way, just to tell her that there will be three powerful people coming?Who told him, or where did he get the news?

Jing Tan didn't dare to say anything more, and was about to rein in his horse and go back.

"Stop!" Unexpectedly, Jing Lan spoke at this time, Jing Tan was shocked, and the three people in the carriage were also shocked.

It was agreed not to reveal her identity, how could Jing Lan speak at this time?

Liu Xi raised the curtain in a panic and stared at Jing Lan, but she quickly understood why Jing Lan made a sound?

"Boom! Boo! Boo! Boo!..."

The several groups of business travelers in front of the carriage stopped a long time ago, and pulled out the weapons under the carriage one after another. With the other hand, they took out the skull mask from their pockets and put it on their faces.

Good guy!

It turns out that today's business route has already been ambushed by Shura Court, waiting for them to come to their door.

Liu Xi remembered that she only told Ye Tianxin and Mrs. Ye yesterday that she wanted to pretend to be a business traveler. Besides, it was impossible for Jing Lan and Shen Jiangli to betray her.

Liu Xi clenched Shuying tightly, looked back at Ye Tianxin, her eyes were as cold as a knife's edge, "Is it your aunt who wants to drag you to die together, or do you... want to drag your aunt to die together?"

Ye Tianxin didn't dare to look directly into Liu Xi's eyes, "I don't know anything!"

Liu Xi sneered, "Oh."

"Wh-crack!"

Jing Lan released a red moon ringing arrow, and soon, several red moon ringing arrows also bloomed in the sky, heading all the way to Sanshan Pass.
