across mountains and seas

Why did you dig a hole for yourself?

Where did Jing Lan dare to answer Liu Xi's words, and forcibly changed the subject, "Still leaving?"

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, "Let's go!" Ah Lan didn't know what to say, and she wanted Ah Lan to learn what she taught in the future.

The two of them walked out of the Three Provinces Pavilion, and Aunt Hong rushed up to greet them.

"What's going on here?"

"fine."

Jing Lan hurriedly answered.

Aunt Hong didn't believe what Jing Lan said, she looked sideways at Liu Xi, "But Xiao Wu is having trouble again?"

"Probably..." Liu Xi deliberately raised his eyebrows to glance at Jing Lan, and said with a smile, "No."

Aunt Hong's sharp eyes saw the sword in Jing Lan's hand, "Where are you going with the sword?"

Jing Lan replied truthfully: "Sister-in-law said that talking about wars on paper is not good, so she should take me out to have a look."

"Really?" The more Aunt Hong looked at Jing Lan, the more unhappy her expression became. Could it be that the two of them were going to fight outside Haicheng?

Liu Xi smiled, "Don't worry, Aunt Hong, I won't fight with A Lan." She seemed to know what Aunt Hong was worried about, "I'll take A Lan to Longling to have a look, and I'll be back in a day, I guarantee she will be safe and sound return."

Aunt Hong naturally believed Liu Xi's words, "I believe this, but..." Aunt Hong was worried about Jing Lan, "Xiao Wu, you are not allowed to bully sister-in-law on the road."

It was Liu Xi who didn't bully her!

Jing Lan had difficulty speaking, so she had to endure it, and hurriedly replied: "Okay."

Aunt Hong felt a little relieved, and held Liu Xi's hand, "Why don't I let Ah Tan walk with you?"

"No." Liu Xi immediately denied, "Second Uncle must stay in Haicheng."

"Why?" Aunt Hong asked suspiciously.

Liu Xi said seriously: "In case someone sneaks into Haicheng."

Aunt Hong thought about it carefully, she nodded and said: "Be careful in everything."

"En." After Liu Xi finished answering, she glanced at Jing Lan again, "Ah Lan, let's go!"

After the two walked away quickly, Jing Tan leaned out half of his body from behind the rockery in the distance, smiled dumbly, and said in his heart: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely guard Haicheng and wait for you to come back."

One white and one black rode fast horses and galloped out of the Shicheng Tower at the end of Santu Shixia. The two men in snow-colored clothes immediately disappeared at the end of the mountain road.

In the dense forest on both sides of the mountain road, a pair of eyes stared at the two galloping horses, and gradually disappeared in the depths of the forest.

The Longling Mountain is steep, undulating like a dragon lying between the sky and the earth, and the towering peaks reach deep into the clouds. Even if you just stand at the foot of the mountain, you can feel the oppression of the mountain.

"Call-"

Liu Xi took the lead to stop the horse, turned over and got off the back of the black horse.

Jing Lan stopped, "Why don't you leave?"

"Come with me." Liu Xi led the black horse into the mountain pass, instead of taking the mountain path, he went sideways into the dense forest.

"Liu Xi!" Jing Lan called out, got off her horse, led the horse and quickly chased Liu Xi.

Liu Xi deliberately slowed down her pace, letting Jing Lan walk to her side, and asked as she walked, "A Lan, do you know that there is a small path that has been trodden by herbal pickers for years?"

Jing Lan was stunned for a moment. There was no record of this path in the topographical records.

"Although the path is narrow, it is a shortcut. Walk along the path for half an hour, and you will be able to enter the hinterland of Longling." She smiled slightly, and looked at Jing Lan, "It is the place where you want to set up the mechanism."

"You...how did you know this way?" Jing Lan was extremely shocked.

Liu Xi sneered, "The Dongjing family has lived in a corner for too many years, and you all have no desire to kill, and even have no desire to defend against others." She stopped, shook her head and smiled wryly, "Since ancient times, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. , Xishan wants to be born to fight for the world, tell me, who should be solved first?"

Jing Lan was stunned.

"The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy requires not only knowing the layout of Haicheng, but also the topography of the entire East Fuzhou." Liu Xi said with a sigh, "As early as three years ago, our sisters could memorize the topography of East Fuzhou. Even more than a year ago, I personally brought my third sister here to investigate the terrain. So, if you want to set up traps in the hinterland, the third sister must be able to think of it." Her eyes sank, she knew Liu Su's method After all, if you can kill the opponent with one bite, you will never soften your heart, "If I were her, I would definitely set up traps in the hinterland before you, and wait for you to bring people in, obediently die inside."

Jing Lan felt chills in her chest.

Liu Xi smiled warmly, "Don't be afraid, Ah Lan, you don't know her, but I know her." Then, she looked left and right at the terrain here, and it was considered hidden to tie the horse here, so she started to pull the black horse Tethered to the tree trunk, he gently stroked the horse's mane a few times, "Grab here with peace of mind, and rest for half a day."

Jing Lan also tied the horse and said seriously, "I've never been afraid of her."

Liu Xi nodded with a smile, "Okay, my Alan is not afraid."

"..." Jing Lan frowned.

Liu Xi held her hand very naturally, "This way."

"Is it okay if you don't hold hands?" Jing Lan followed a few steps, and reminded Liu Xi in a solemn voice.

"No." Liu Xi replied solemnly.

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, "Why?"

"One, you said you would listen to me and act according to me." Liu Xi plausibly said, "Second, I promised Aunt Hong to bring you back safe and sound. I will hold you, so I can feel at ease. Three... "

"Stop!" Jing Lan clasped her hand tightly, "Just this once!"

Liu Xi smiled lightly, but nodded slightly.

Holding her is not only reassuring, but also a little comfortable.

Liu Xi would not tell Jing Lan this sentence, she led the way forward and brought Jing Lan to the side of the small road, her nose moved a few times, she subconsciously glanced at the dirt road.

There are several strings of animal paw prints scattered on the path, some going up and some going down. It seems that there are quite a few.

"Alan, do you know what kind of beast this is?" Liu Xi asked in a deep voice.

Jing Lan squatted down and looked at the paw print carefully. Judging by the size of the paw print, it was not a mountain tiger, but probably a mountain wolf.

"Wolf?"

Liu Xi nodded, "It's the Raksha wolf domesticated by Xishan. Unexpectedly, Liu Su brought all these murderous wolves here." Liu Xi's face was rather ugly, and she led Jing Lan back into the forest.

Jing Lan has also heard the name of the Raksha wolf. It is said that this wolf will go mad at the sight of blood. Even if the wolf's claws are cut off, these wolves will bite it regardless.Even a master of martial arts, if they encounter such a group of murderous wolves, they will most likely be in danger.

"If you don't come this trip, you're afraid you'll feed your life to wolves." Although Liu Xi was teasing Jing Lan, his tone was still serious.

Jing Lan asked seriously: "The art of controlling beasts that I learned in Hailong Mausoleum, is it useful for Raksha wolves?"

Liu Xi shook her head, "These wolves can't hear any sound." They are only sensitive to the smell of blood, and their hearing has been destroyed since childhood, and Jing Lan's voice of the beast can't help them at all.

Jing Lan couldn't help gasping, "If they can't hear, how do you drive them?" Realizing that she had said something wrong, she quickly changed it to another sentence, "How did the Xishan Liu family drive them?"

Liu Xi's tone was cold, "Open the cage and let them bite. If they succeed, someone will kill them. If they fail, they will naturally die in the hands of the enemy. In short, if you open the cage, there is no chance of survival. "

"Cock!"

Jing Lan's heart was extremely cold, "If a doctor went to the mountain to collect medicine these days, wouldn't it be..." She didn't dare to think about it, this beast is extremely fierce, if it really meets a stranger, it will definitely bite.

"I'm afraid something unexpected happened to the Langzhong." Liu Xi could tell that what she smelled just now by the side of the path was the smell of blood.

Jing Lan secretly gritted her teeth.

"Alan wants to save someone, doesn't she?" Liu Xi saw through her thoughts.

Jing Lan nodded heavily.

"Then let's save people." Liu Xi smiled, "Third Sister gave me such a big surprise, so naturally I should give her a surprise too."

Jing Lan hesitated, "But... disturbing her rashly... will it scare the snake?"

"Snakes must be startled, but we don't want to kill weeds, we need to beat wolves hard." Liu Xi seems to have thought of a countermeasure, "Let her know that I'm coming, but she doesn't know where I am in Longling. That’s the best policy.”

Jing Lan stared blankly at Liu Xi's side face—the warm sunlight falling from the gap between the trees shone on her face, illuminating the confident smile on her lips.

For some reason, seeing Liu Xi smiling like this, Jing Lan felt a lot warmer in her heart.

Noticing Jing Lan's gaze, Liu Xi's smile grew slightly stronger, and there was even a trace of tenderness in her eyes. She slowly turned her head and looked at Jing Lan quietly.

Jing Lan seemed like a kitten caught stealing fish, she avoided Liu Xi's eyes in a panic, "Why...why didn't you say anything all of a sudden?"

"Last night... did you look at me like this?" Liu Xi suddenly asked.

Jing Lan's cheeks flushed instantly, "No!"

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, "If you didn't have it last night, make it up today."

"You're talking nonsense again!" Jing Lan could only feel her heart beating loudly, and she became more and more guilty, "Liu Xi, don't forget, you are mine..."

"Alan, where do you want to go?" Liu Xi tightened her hand and said seriously, "I will use myself as a bait to lure those Raksha wolves out of the mountain, and you will be my helping hand in the dark, you If you don't keep an eye on me, I will definitely die under the sharp teeth of those wild wolves."

That's what it meant.

Jing Lan was ashamed, how could she think of things she shouldn't?

"Fate, I leave it to you." Liu Xi said it very solemnly. Seeing Jing Lan's face flushed with shame and shame, she couldn't help pursing the corners of her lips, "If you accidentally draw third sister out, ah Lan, what do you think you should do?"

Jing Lan was taken aback for a moment, "Huh?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king first. You don't have to worry about me, take her down first." Liu Xi looked at her with a smile, "If you take her, Haicheng's military crisis will be resolved this time, and it can be regarded as once and for all."

Jing Lan's eyes showed worry.

"When Ah Lan isn't looking at me, I will protect myself." Liu Xi's eyes were full of beauty, and she smiled sweetly, "I will definitely not make you sad."

Jing Lan immediately understood, she would not accept Liu Xi's words, nor would she not accept them.

"Liuxi, you..."

"Why?"

Jing Lan struggled to free her hand, not wanting to be held by her anymore, and cursed in a low voice: "Sometimes you really push an inch."
