On the open square, flags were erected at four corners, and all the flags were only black and white, some were black and some were white, quite monotonous and had almost no color.

At this time, the golden crow had risen to a high place. On the summer morning, the earth quickly became hot. The dazzling light shone on the stone ground paved with square stones, and on the two women surrounded by many warriors and militias.

One of the women was huge and half-naked, and looked a little dark, but this healthy skin color was not disgusting. The whole body was actually very well-proportioned, but the leopard skin dress with money patterns was barely covered by most of its plump breasts. The thighs under the skirt attracted the attention of people around her from the beginning, and she was obviously used to being noticed by everyone.

In other words, with her size, it is really difficult to avoid being regarded as a rare animal.

The Chinese girl beside her is slender and slim, forming a sharp contrast. She is covered with a veil and has a mysterious look in her delicate temperament.

The two of them were waiting in the sun... and surrounded by everyone. They were relieved until their companions, wearing light red skirts walked out of the gate in front of them.

"Senior Sister!" The girl in the autumn-scented robe skirt stepped forward and said, "How are you talking?"

"No problem!" Chun Jianli said, "We will live here first. They will find a way to send people to help us avoid the pursuit of the barbarian army and send us out of Luzhou. But what is the situation outside is like? They also need to see what it is."

The girl in the autumn-scented robe nodded...

***

The same sunshine shines on the mountainside, a group of people walking along the mountain road.

Ning Jiang rode a horse and walked forward with Zhao Tingzhen in the team. Behind them, the patrolmen and militia were carrying boxes, containing Qilifeng's desperate efforts to gather together, and were about to give Princess Liuman.

On one of the box trucks, there were two female Taoist boys with a pair of purses tied on their heads. Although it was the scorching sun at this moment, the mountain wind blew, and the box truck was on the box truck's arrow flags to flew.

The young Taoist and Zhao Tingzhen rode forward. On the way, Zhao Tingzhen was idle and asked the young Taoist about the scenery of Jiangnan. The young Taoist naturally spoke everything, just like Zhao Tingzhen explaining the unique gardens and some famous places in Jiangnan, he was very eloquent, and there was nothing else to do at this moment, which made Zhao Tingzhen amazed.

Zhao Tingzhen was originally quite depressed. On the one hand, she didn't know what the prospects were forcing her to go to Xinjin City this time. On the other hand, it was because King Minghuang appeared at Qilifeng with Agu soldiers last night. On the surface, she was just passing by and resting, but in fact, she was full of warning.

Immediately afterwards, the barbarian army had more orders to pass on, and ordered Qilifeng to dispatch more personnel to assist in the encirclement and suppression of Yinze's lake bandits. It seems that this time, the barbarian army planned to completely wipe out Yinze's lake bandits. Although there are many mountains and lakes in Yinze's area and complex terrain, judging from his father's appearance, since the Minghuang King came out, Yinze might be doomed this time.

Although Qilifeng and Yinze Lake bandits have had many holidays in the past, this time, the nature is different. It is to help the barbarian army encircle and suppress Yinze, which is to help the evildoers. If they don’t help, they are afraid that the barbarian army will slaughter Qilifeng. When they think of the more than 200 terrifying Agu soldiers I saw last night, Zhao Tingzhen felt cold.

Although he was uneasy, there was almost nothing he could do. Zhao Tingzhen could only put these worries aside for the time being and talked and laughed with the young Taoists.

After noon, the convoy rested in the forest and continued on the road in the afternoon. On the way, he encountered a group of bandits. These bandits were obviously composed of homeless hungry people. Although the bandits led by them knew some martial arts, they were probably at most second-rate and third-rate, and they were not enough to see even before the mysterious energy was prosperous.

These bandits were ragged and thin, carrying some weapons, probably because they could not mess with them. They were determined to rob objects, but they were lingering and did not dare to move forward. In the end, they were protected by the convoy. A disciple of Cao Ziteng took the initiative to step forward and disperse some copper coins. These people roared.

In the evening, I passed by a deserted village. The entire village was basically destroyed by war. The collapsed houses, the remains of burning fires, and the mass graves outside the village that barely used to bury the bones, which was shocking.

Everyone had no intention of staying here for a long time, so they continued to move forward. When the sun was about to set west, a group of people also turned around on the road to the right. Everyone looked at them and saw that among the people, there were also escorts of box trucks, and many warriors in the inside, the person in the head was a young man in brocade clothes.

Now that the world is in chaos, the two sides suddenly meet, and they are carrying weapons, so they are inevitably on guard against each other. After seeing which one the other party is, they have calmed down. The young man in brocade clothes rode on the tall white horse and smiled, "It turns out it's Zhenmei, and Zhenmei hasn't seen each other for a long time."

Zhao Tingzhen said: "It turns out to be Mr. Qiu, why is Mr. Qiu here?"

But it turned out that this young man in brocade clothes was called Qiu Zhongshu, and the Qiu family was a famous scholarly family in Anjun.

In China, where Confucianism is the only one, the name "A Family of Books" is not something rich can possess. First of all, there are famous local gentry, and secondly, there must be someone in the family who will achieve something in the imperial examination.

The Qiu family was in An County, and the most famous gentry. The head of the Qiu family was the chief of An County. After the barbarians occupied the entire Luzhou, the Qiu family was almost the first wealthy family to join the barbarian army. They not only saved their wealth, but also took advantage of the war to make a fortune. Now they are full of energy. Qiu Zhongshu is the second son of the Qiu family. He practices literature and martial arts, and claims to be both the best in calligraphy and swords.

First, Anjun Li Qilifeng was originally a neighbor, and second, Qiu Zhongshu had visited Zhaojiazhuang, Qilifeng before and asked her father for skills. If he insisted on making connections, he could barely be considered half of Zhao Guipan's disciple. The two families naturally knew each other.

Although Zhao Tingzhen disliked the Qiu family's character, after all, Qilifeng is now dependent on the barbarian army? At this moment, he could not feel cold when he saw Qiu Zhongshu, so he could only say hello with a smile.

Qiu Zhongshu shook his fan and smiled: "Female Zhen is also planning to go to Xinjincheng to attend the princess's birthday party?"

Zhao Tingzhen said: "That's right."

Qiu Zhongshu said: "Brother Yu is the same. Since both sides are heading to Xinjin, how about setting off together?"

Zhao Tingzhen was unable to do so, so the two sides were together and continued on the road. On the way, Zhao Tingzhen asked: "Why is Mr. Qiu going to Xinjin City to celebrate the princess? What about Lingzun and Brother Ling?"

Qiu Zhongshu said: "According to the command of the commander, my father has led his troops to set out to help the barbarian army encircle and suppress the bandits of Yinze. Humph, those guys in Yinze used to rob their families and harm the people, but now they are even more resistant to the heavenly soldiers. The laws of heaven are hard tolerant. Now the commander is finally going to completely wipe them out, which is their own fault."

Zhao Tingzhen thought to himself that although Yinze was a gang, it was hard to say that it was a disaster to the people. As for the barbarian army, how did they become "heavenly soldiers"? They burned, killed, looted, invaded China, and resisted them?

She said: "Those righteousness of Yinze... those bandits, relying on the complex terrain and intricate lakes in the past, when the literary spirit was still there, the government sent troops to encircle and suppress them several times, but they had no choice. Although the barbarian army was good at horse warfare, horse warfare in Yinze was useless. It is probably not easy to wipe them out."

Qiu Zhongshu said disdainfully: "It's different from the past. This time, in order to wipe out them, I heard that the God Xiang not only sent Agu soldiers, but also sent King Minghuang. In addition, the regiments from all sides helped each other, I don't believe that they can't be destroyed."

He looked at Zhao Tingzhen again: "This Taoist is..."

Zhao Tingzhen said: "This is Taoist Master Xiaobai, a famous doctor from Jiangnan."

Qiu Zhongshu was stunned: "Jiangnan?" Then he smiled and said: "Yes, although Zhou Ting is still alive in Jiangnan, he is stupid and mediocre, and his destiny is lost, and the people are no longer in his heart. Sooner or later, he will be destroyed by the heavenly soldiers. The Taoist priest came north and was considered a person who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light and knew the current affairs."

The young Taoist praised: "What Brother Qiu said is exactly, Brother Qiu is still good. He has seized the supernatural power and was the generals of fierce soldiers. Unfortunately, he failed to use Brother Qiu early, and he was in vain to the will of heaven and the people, resulting in the destruction of more than 200,000 troops being destroyed. It is a pity, a pity."

Qiu Zhong's book is stagnant.

The Taoist priest's tone was so sincere that Qiu Zhongshu could not find out whether he was sarcastic or polite and polite.

Zhao Tingzhen said curiously: "I wonder what happened in the battle in the south? Will the Leopard King's army be wiped out?" For them, under the rule of the barbarian army, they saw with their own eyes the almost insurmountable strength gap between the barbarian army and the Chinese army. Except for the battle between Meng Yu and Weiyuan army last year, the barbarian army almost rushed around the entire Chinese land.

The Leopard King Chashe was one of the three major generals under the Tiger Venerable. When Zhou Ting's Changhe Naval Army was defeated, almost everyone thought that the demise of the Zhou Dynasty was a foregone conclusion. No one expected that the subsequent battle situation would be so surprising. It could almost be said that it was a world-shaking and completely subverted everyone's speculation.

However, Jiangnan is too far from Luzhou. Everyone still can't figure out how the south defeated the Leopard King. Some say that the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain assisted the court and summoned heavenly soldiers and generals, while others said that it was Ning Hanlin's divine fortune-telling, setting up a strange formation of the heavenly net, and Chashu accidentally entered the formation.

All kinds of rumors are quite exaggerated, because in the hearts of many ordinary people in the north, unless they are heavenly soldiers and generals, the ancient strange formation, which is like a miracle, it is almost impossible for anyone to block the barbarian army.

But people like Zhao Tingzhen and Qiu Zhongshu cannot believe in the so-called heavenly soldiers and generals like ordinary people at the bottom. The only possibility of Chase's defeat is that the strength of the south is not as weak as everyone imagined. Despite this, they are also very curious about how those people in the south did it?

During their inquiry, the young Taoist said: "When the war in the south happened, I had already entered the Central Plains, so I was not very clear. I only heard that it seemed that the Leopard King misjudged the situation. In order to chase the Chinese emperor, he went deep into the Yueling area and fell into the ambush set up by the Weiyuan army... Well, although I don't know how it was done, it should be like this in general."

Qiu Zhongshu snorted: "After all, it's just a reflection of the future. Even the Kong family where Yan Shenggong is located said that Zhou Ting has no way, and the destiny is in the north."

The young Taoist smiled and said nothing.

At this time, it was getting late, and it was almost midnight that they had just arrived at a county town. This county town was naturally occupied by the barbarian army, and the outer walls had basically collapsed. Entering the city, he found an inn that was barely open, and stayed there for the time being. During this period, although Qiu Zhongshu was generally polite to Zhao Tingzhen and in line with his identity as a prince of the aristocratic family, he also said almost provocative words from time to time. Unfortunately, Zhao Tingzhen was still unmoved by him.

They stayed here for one night, and on the second day, they continued to set off. On the way, Qiu Zhongshu continued to show his style of writing and swords to Zhao Tingzhen, sometimes talking about the world and sometimes giving guidance to the country.

Perhaps it was in his opinion that he was the son of a wealthy family who passed down his books and swords, and who was a wealthy family, was already giving enough face to Zhao Tingzhen, who was just a daughter of a powerful man in the world.

However, Zhao Tingzhen was always indifferent, at most it was just a polite person when meeting acquaintances. Gradually, some impatience began to appear on his face.

Zhao Tingzhen originally didn't want to have much contact with the Qiu family, nor did she want to have much friendship with the second son of the Qiu family, so she naturally didn't care much about it. She just wanted to find some to reach Xinjin City to get rid of this annoying fly. She was too lazy to care about him, but just asked the young Taoist around her: "I don't know where the Taoist priest will go after arriving at Xinjin City?"

The young Taoist waved the whisk and said, "I will probably go to Caizhou after two days of traveling in Xinjincheng."

Zhao Tingzhen said regretfully: "The Taoist priest is a wanderer. He probably won't meet again from now on. Now the world is difficult and there are chaos everywhere. The Taoist priest should take care of it. If you want to go back to Qilifeng at any time, I and my father will always treat each other with courtesy."

Qiu Zhongshu said with a sarcastic sarcasm: "It's a pity, it's a pity that this Xiaobai Dao brother is a fellow who has entered the church. Otherwise, Zhenmei would have to promise her. Speaking of which, people say that there are three kinds of unfilial things, and that without a descendant is the greatest. Haha, it is also because of the current Confucianism and Taoism. Otherwise, just this kind of practice of not getting married, I would have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors in the future." Seeing that Zhao Tingzhen's attitude towards this Xiaobai Daoist was even better than that of him, an "old acquaintance", he couldn't help but take his anger and speak sarcasticly.

Zhao Tingzhen didn't expect him to speak like this, and couldn't help but feel annoyed: "Young Master Qiu, Confucianism is Confucianism, and Taoism is Taoism. They have nothing to do with each other. Whether Taoist priests marry or not is his freedom, and others have no right to say anything."

Qiu Zhongshu sneered: "Where did I say it wrong? Humph, passing on the clan is originally a ritual..."

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" The young Taoist turned his head and looked at them in surprise, "Ah, yes, although they are both Taoists and the northern and southern sects are very different. The Taoist priests you know who do not marry or marry are all from the Quanqing sect, right? But I am not a disciple of the Quanqing sect? Our Taoist priests in the south regard Longhu Mountain as the authenticity, so they can marry and have children!"
