There was no snow overnight, but pear blossoms were still blooming on the trees in Tainan City.
Lin Yanli and his party left the room early, bought enough food in the city, and headed east along the wind and snow.
From the four northern states, Fenzhou, Jinzhou, Yongzhou and Weizhou, Lin Yanli followed the previously decided route and headed east and south to Yongzhou, and then took the Xianjia Ferry through the nearest Xianjia Ferry to Chuanling, the hinterland of Rouge Country.
Jinling City, the capital of the Rouge Kingdom in the state.
Traveling all the way to the mountains and rivers seemed to be a leisurely trip.
The fertile wilderness in Guanzhong is desolate all the way.
When walking along the way and meeting people in the villages, they would always ask about the drinks. Whether it was home-brewed sweet potato roasting or the stored wine in the winery, Lin Yanli would take the initiative to help Bai Qing buy one.
Therefore, the "righteousness" gourd tied around her waist gradually became heavier.
Li Zhujiu also used Lin Yanli's Dongfeng to help her father search for nearly 700 kinds of drinks. Such filial piety is worthy of praise.
In the fertile fields of Guanzhong, the cold wind howls.
The snow in the sky was still falling non-stop. In this wilderness, a group of four people, wearing raincoats and bamboo hats on their heads, were walking on the official road in the wilderness despite the wind and snow.
In such a deep winter, there is nothing else on the official road except the ruts of carriages.
Occasionally, we can see snow-white hares out looking for food. Taking advantage of the cold icy wind and the lack of human presence, they fly around freely. Finally, a sword energy from Li Zhujiu pierced their heads and turned them into a meal for the four of them.
For some reason, Li Chang was always worried and wandering overseas all day long. However, his sword training progress did not fall behind, and Lin Yanli did not interfere too much.
The boy has also reached the age where he has troubles.
In one year, from Mutian City to the Thousand Demons Sect of the Rouge Kingdom, and then from Guyun Mountain of the Thousand Demons Sect, they measured the land with their feet. The four of them have traveled through three states. They have experienced a lot and their minds are full.
, if you walk more places, the worries of a young man will take the initiative to resolve and become a deep memory on the way of growing up. If you accidentally think of it when you are old, it will be a new story in the ears of the younger generations in the family.
Passing by a village, several people saw red lanterns hung at the door of each house and New Year couplets pasted on them, and then they remembered that today is New Year's Eve.
The four of them spent the night at the home of a blind old woman in a village.
The old woman had a hard life. There was a flood in her early years, and her husband and son died in the flood. Later, she adopted a girl and relied on needlework to make a living. At least she had something to rely on in her life.
But the good times didn't last long. When a young man passing by saw the girl's beauty, he and his servants deceived the girl out and took her body by force. The girl couldn't bear the humiliation and threw herself into a lake. She waited for the villagers to take her body.
When found, the girl had been half eaten by fish, leaving half a rotting corpse. She was hastily buried in the back hill without even a monument.
The people in the village saw that the old woman felt sorry for her, so they took her to the county to complain to the officials.
When I arrived at the county government office, I thought my grievances would be redressed, but I didn't realize that the young master's family was so powerful that he paid the county magistrate to suppress the matter and settled the case hastily.
The poor old woman's grievances cannot be redressed. Every day she sees things and misses others, and her eyes are blinded by crying.
In the kitchen, Lin Yanli cooked himself and made a decent New Year's Eve dinner. It tasted good, but it was quite tasteless.
Lin Yanli felt calm. For her, she had seen many such ridiculous things.
After all, Jiang Wanli almost became the concubine of an elder back then.
Li Zhujiu looked at the steaming food on the table, hesitated for a long time, then picked up the bowl, picked up a large chopstick, and started eating in small bites.
Li Chang was silent for a while, then looked at Lin Yanli. Seeing that Lin Yanli's expression was as usual, he whispered: "I'm going out for a while in the evening."
Lin Yanli nodded and said: "When we meet at the city gate, do it with your heart. I will take care of everything."
Li Chang was startled, pursed his lips and nodded, then picked up the sword case and hurried out.
"It's very windy and snowy on the road. Remember to wear a raincoat and a bamboo hat. Take this with you to eat on the road." Lin Yanli reached out and grabbed a large cake from the table and threw it towards Li Shang.
Li Shang turned around and caught the flying cake. Feeling warm in her heart, she put on her raincoat and hurried out.
With a big piece of cake in his mouth, he stroked his chin with his hands, tied up his bamboo hat, and became a lone ranger in the night.
Qin Kunyu took a bite of the rice and put down his chopsticks, "I'll go take a look."
Lin Yanli raised her chopsticks, and a sword force pressed on Qin Kunyu's shoulder, with a serious look on her face.
"No one is allowed to follow today!"
After Li Zhujiu finished cooking the rice, he flatly said, "Little brother Kunyu, you don't believe little brother Li Shang so much?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..." Qin Kunyu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
When he left Tainan City, he discovered that Li Changzang had something on his mind. If he guessed correctly, the trouble was with Lin Yanli.
Along the way, from the moment he became a monk in the second realm, the gap between immortals and mortals has been infinitely magnified. Li Chang was probably aware of the gap between himself and Lin Yanli, so he was absent-minded along the way.
Lin Yanli drank the hot soup and said calmly: "The young eagle will also flutter its wings one day. He can't live under our protection forever."
Qin Kunyu squeezed his eyebrows and sighed, having a lot of manuscripts and nothing to say.
That's all, that's all, he shouldn't be too involved in this matter. How it develops in the future depends on whether Lin Yanli can notice Li Chang's intentions...
Rushing on the road under the moonlight, Li Shang gathered his true energy and galloped all the way.
If a carriage is passing by, you will definitely see a dark shadow flashing across the dusty and snow-covered official road. Maybe it will be regarded as a ghost and it will be woven into a fairy tale.
The night ranger traveled thirty miles and when he arrived at the county gate, the moon was hidden in the clouds, which seemed to make it easier for the young man to do so.
There was a curfew in the city, and apart from the sound of the watchman, no other sounds could be heard.
On top of the city tower, a thin figure flashed past and quietly escaped into the city under the eyes of the officers and soldiers.
After stepping over several eaves, Li Shang landed in the county government office like a ghost.
A patrol officer yawned and walked around the corner. He felt a cold feeling on his neck and did not dare to move a step.
"A good man should not be impulsive, a villain is just a errand."
"The county magistrate here is called Gan Diao?"
The sound coming from the darkness made the guard tremble.
"Yes! What injustice has been done to this good man and he needs to file a complaint with Mr. Gan?"
"That's about it. Where is Lord Gan now?"
"Three hundred steps to the left of the Yamen, you will find Master Gan's residence."
After finishing speaking, the officer's eyes darkened, he fell limply in the corner, and fell into a deep "sleep".
After getting the county magistrate's address, Li Chang swayed and quickly arrived in front of a brightly lit house.
The courtyard wall is high, the red lacquer gate is tightly closed, and the walls on both sides are a foot high.
Li Chang turned over and jumped up to the courtyard wall, jumped into the courtyard lightly, quickly glanced around, and after confirming that there was no one around, Li Chang jumped up and climbed to a low wall.
Under the eaves in the distance, several night watch maids gathered in a circle and burned charcoal fire outside the house.
In the main hall of the house, an old man over fifty years old was sitting in the main seat. He was dressed in fashionable clothes, had a fat face, a high nose, thick black eyebrows, and gray hair on his temples. He looked like a gentleman.
He was holding a three or four-year-old girl in his arms, surrounded by children, and the family was enjoying themselves harmoniously.
