A cheerful laugh came from behind: "Haha, Brother Lan, look, it's Miss Wanqing here."
Li Luo stood up unexpectedly and looked back. Four men had already come down to meet him. The young man with the brightest clothes and an angry horse jumped downstairs, frightening the pedestrians on the street and dispersed.
After a while, a white horse came slowly, not running very fast, and gave way to the passers-by on the street. On the horse was a man dressed as a man, with beautiful features, looking graceful in the troubled world from afar, and having dark eyebrows and green frown from a distance, it was indeed a rare glimpse of splendor and splendor in the troubled times.
Pretty boy.
Li Luo and Yan Yixiao are indeed old friends, but I don't know what is going on with Zhou Fang now, and when will I have the opportunity to go to Banfenlou to have a wedding drink.
"Hey, Sister Gongsun, you're here, let Brother Lan wait." The young man stepped forward to lead the horse with a playful smile. He was very attentive before and after the saddle. The older man smiled lightly and looked friendly. He was neither overly solicitous nor distant.
, which makes people feel good at first sight.
Gongsun Wanqing's pretty face turned red and she spat: "You are asking for a beating if you say anything nonsense!"
The young man smiled and was not afraid. He seemed to be very familiar with Gongsun Wanqing. Gongsun Wanqing got off the horse, followed the example of a man, cupped his fists and saluted, and said loudly: "Brother Lan, I'm sorry you've been waiting for so long."
The man smiled warmly, returned the salute, and said: "Don't listen to Xiao Qi's nonsense. We have just arrived. Let's go up and talk. This matter is very involved. The person behind it can cover the sky with one hand in Dagan.
It also has something to do with Banfenlou, so you must not act rashly before you are completely sure."
Gongsun Wanqing's beautiful face turned cold, she was silent for a moment and said: "I understand, Brother Lan, is the news reliable?"
"It's at least 70% credible, but I didn't spread the word until I was 100% sure. Except for a few people in the alliance, only the five of you and I knew about it. I asked Miss Gongsun to come here this time to confirm.
Whether this news is true or not, even the Heaven Protector Alliance will not be able to touch his people until there is conclusive evidence."
Gongsun Wanqing bit her lip and said word by word: "No matter who it is, no matter how difficult it is, I will definitely find the whereabouts of my brother."
The man's face was full of pity, and he whispered harmoniously: "Don't worry, Miss Gongsun, since we promised to help you, we will not give up halfway."
"Thank you, Brother Lan."
A strange color flashed in the man's eyes, and he said with a smile: "You and I will have to say thank you before we see each other. Okay, let's go in and talk. There are many people here, so be careful. There are ears through the walls." After that, he turned sideways and asked Gongsun Wanqing to go first.
.
The man's slightly intimate words made Gongsun Wanqing feel a little uncomfortable, but it was related to the whereabouts of her brother, so she couldn't miss the opportunity no matter how small it was.
Gongsun Wanqing thanked her and walked towards the building. Before leaving, Gongsun Wanqing felt something in her heart and glanced sideways at the street corner to the north. People were coming and going, and she didn't know why there seemed to be something in these backs that gave her a sense of excitement.
It's a very familiar feeling, but there are so many people walking around that I can't tell where this feeling comes from.
Li Luo didn't hear the conversation between Gongsun Wanqing and the man named Lan. A glance from a distance revealed that the old friends were fine and there was no need to meet again.
The city gate is in sight, and the security of the city is quite tight. No matter entering or leaving the city, everyone needs to be carefully screened without any sloppiness to prevent anyone from sneaking into the city. Of course, there are few people entering the city, but there are many people leaving the city, so there is a long queue.
The queue was so long that when Li Luo arrived, there were almost over a hundred people leaving the city.
Li Luo followed the pedestrians and had no intention of identifying himself. Even if he found the generals guarding the city, they might not recognize Li Luo. After such a delay, it would be better to leave the city in a low-key manner.
The soldiers guarding the city were wearing cold armor and their swords and spears were sharp. There was no other sound at the city gate except for the scolding of the soldiers during interrogation. The people were silent, no one dared to talk nonsense. The most they could do was take a quick look at the people inside and outside the city gate.
The lieutenant general with an expression on his face quickly lowered his head to the ground and remained silent for fear of being regarded as a spy from Caohai.
Li Luo was a little different. The solemn atmosphere at the city gate did not make Li Luo lower his head. His face was very calm, and he silently looked at the Dagan people coming in and out. Suddenly, a figure at the front of the queue left the city first, and before Li Luo
When Luo saw it, there was only a fleeting silhouette of his back, but this silhouette looked very familiar.
Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly and he exclaimed secretly, how could she be in Wangmei Mansion? With a thought in his mind, Li Luo led his horse past the people who were leaving the city in front of him and walked to the front of the queue. Someone behind him whispered, frowning coldly,
He cursed in a low voice in anger, but no one dared to stop Li Luo.
In exchange for five copper coins, the soldiers guarding the city turned a blind eye, but they still searched carefully before letting Li Luo out of the city.
When we left the city, it was quiet everywhere. There was no smoke from the kitchen, and we couldn't hear the crowing of chickens or the barking of dogs. We could only see the people leaving the city running like frightened rabbits on the official roads. Almost no one dared to walk on the ordinary trails.
Li Luohuan looked around, and the familiar figure had disappeared. He didn't know where he went. In terms of footwork and movement alone, he was not much weaker than Li Luo.
After leaving the north gate of Wangmeifu City, there was an official road leading to Zangyun Valley, and a ramp heading towards Mushan. Li Luo thought for a moment, turned to a small road, and galloped away.
The trees on both sides of the road are lined with shade, and their leaves have turned golden and yellow, and some have begun to fall with the wind. This is a good season when chrysanthemums are fragrant and fruits are abundant, but the fields outside Wangmei Mansion are not as refreshing as they should be in autumn.
and harvest, there is an air of decay and desolation everywhere.
The crops in the fields were harvested very poorly, and many of them had horseshoes imprinted on them, as if they had been drafted to provide food and fodder for the officers and soldiers.
After riding for more than ten miles, there was no one else on the road except Li Luo. Li Luo smiled bitterly and was speechless. It seemed that he was following the wrong road and was running in vain. However, this road was what Li Luo heard when he passed through Qinzhou.
The escort from the Chang'an Escort Bureau once said that although the road is a bit rough and not easy to walk, and there are some detours, it will not take longer than the official road to Zangyun Valley. Li Luo thought for a while
I had no intention of turning back to the official road, and took advantage of the night to drive a little further, and I would be able to reach Zangyun Valley by tomorrow.
The sun sets over the mountains, and the mountains and rivers are picturesque. Unfortunately, without the silence and peace of the curling smoke, the mountains and rivers look somewhat deserted and lonely.
There were no fireworks, so Li Luo gave up the idea of looking for a place to rest, and casually picked up a dilapidated mountain temple among the trees on a low mountain beside the road to rest for a while.
The mountain temple is very small, and the village where this mountain temple was built is not too big. As soon as you enter, you can see the statue and shrine of the mountain god. The appearance of the mountain god is already a bit dilapidated, losing color, and his appearance is blurry.
