Now I'm afraid only the Tan family doesn't want us to die without knowing it."
"This is not a friendly place. Although we are not afraid of them, it is very annoying to always make noise around them. Second Young Master, what are we going to do?"
"I'll leave today and go south to Zhangzhou."
"Okay, I'll go pack." After saying that, Feng Li went to pack his luggage without waiting for Li Luo to say something about taking a break.
Just after noon, Tan San led three people over, two men and one woman, none of whom were too old. The eldest one looked like he was just standing up and down. He was white and fat, with a pair of smiling eyes on his round face, looking kind-hearted.
I heard Tan San mention that his name is Luo Que. He looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is a hidden master. The other man is named Tan Yuan. His tall and thin figure is somewhat similar to Tan San. He is probably from the Tan family.
A member of the family. The last woman and Li Luo had already met. It was Tan Yi, the woman from the Tan family who had brought the bags for Gu Lianglei and Feng Li.
"Master Li, let the three of them accompany you to Hancang Mansion." Tan San did not introduce Luo Que and the others too much. He pondered for a few breaths and said, "Master Li, must you go in person?"
Li Luo nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Tan, for your kindness."
Tan San stopped trying to persuade him and said, "Since Mr. Li insists on doing this, I won't say anything more. Just be careful on the road. Luo Que, it is very important to go to Zhangzhou. Mr. Li came here with money to hold the hegemony. According to his ancestors,
The rules are that if something goes wrong, you and I will risk our lives."
Luo Que smiled kindly, nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it, then looked at Li Luo, nodded and said with a salute: "Young Master is an honored guest, but there is something I need to talk about first. When I arrive in Zhangzhou, I still have to listen to what happens on the rivers and lakes."
My, when the time comes, if you offend me, please let me know.”
"It should be so." Li Luo also smiled kindly, without any strange expression.
Tan San didn't have much to say. What needed to be said was already given. Although Li Luo said that only three or two of them would go south together, this domineering money implicated more than just the Tan family. As for who had already set out on the road first,
Li Luo couldn't guess who in Zhangzhou had received a letter from each of the Qilin Pankou families.
Zhangzhou is adjacent to the Shiwan Mountains. There are many prefectures and counties with lofty mountains. Most of the villages and cities you see are built along the mountains, or against the banks of narrow valleys and rivers, surrounded by mountains and green mountains. There are no roads in sight.
Only when you get close can you see the steep mountain roads carved out of the mountains under the shade of dense forests. These mountain roads are rugged and winding, and in some places they are towering over cliffs. Looking up, it makes people dizzy and extremely dangerous.
Zhangzhou prefectures do not engage in farming, and most of the people make a living by hunting or picking herbs. The folk customs are strong, and almost every family has swords, guns, bows and crossbows, and they are all very skilled. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and it is a difficult place for Dagan law.
In a place outside the law, whose fist is strong and whose words are the rules.
There are ten villages and nine villages, and there are many mountains. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of poisonous insects plundering the mountains. Over time, in Zhangzhou, Nanfu and several neighboring states, where few outsiders have set foot, a Jianghu force that respects witches has gradually formed.
The Jingwei River is clearly separated, and the wells and rivers do not interfere with each other. If any Daganwulin forces set foot in it, they will most likely be attacked by a group of people. People are like mountains, mountains are based on water, and there is a sense of wilderness everywhere.
Zhangzhou is isolated and rarely does business with the Dagan prefectures. When outsiders come, if there are no locals or experts to guide the way, it will be difficult to move once they enter Zhangzhou. Fortunately, the Tan family has some connections in Zhangzhou, so the journey along the way is long and bumpy.
, nothing went wrong.
The road by which Luo Que and Li Luo entered Hancang Mansion is quite famous in Zhangzhou and is called Panma Ancient Road.
The Panma Ancient Road does not refer to just one mountain road, but to the general name of several mountain roads in Zhangzhou that run through the state. Each road has different rivers and lakes forces entrenched on it. Sometimes they live in peace, and sometimes there is no shortage of swords and swords.
If you kill someone here, you don’t need to bury them. If you throw them to the side of the road, within three or two days, not even the bones will be left. The people who do business on the Panma Ancient Road are green forest heroes with knife heads licking blood. In peacetime, these people
So he helped the merchants in the city to transport animal skins, herbs and other items to the outside of the mountain, exchanged them for salt, grain, silk and other items, and then transported them back to the mountain. When times were not peaceful, these people would change their attire and become bandits who fell into disgrace.
Robbery, murder and robbery are commonplace. In Luo Que's words, every Jianghu person walking on the Panma Ancient Road has no qualifications to stand on the Panma Ancient Road if he only has a few lives on his hands.
The tree shadows, mountain shadows, and water marks on the roadside are green and beautiful, just like an oasis in the sea of flowers without dust. However, under this beautiful scenery, hidden are naked predators of the weak and the strong. This place is closest to the wilderness and closest to human nature.
The six of them, Li Luo, walked quickly without any delay on the way. When they first left Xishui City in Yezhou, Tan Yi was still a little disdainful. Li Luo urged him hard, but he must complain on the road. Unexpectedly, Li Luo not only did not complain, but set off
When he was calm and indifferent, Li Luo still looked like this when he arrived in front of Hancang Mansion. Even Tan Yi and Tan Yuan were a little tired, but Li Luo didn't even seem to change his face. What's even more annoying is that Li Luo is a
It's just a man, but the two female relatives accompanying him turned out to be equally calm and calm, which really made Tan Yi feel discouraged. After a few days, the initial contempt had already dissipated, and he felt a faint respect.
Although Luo Que was not unusual, he was secretly surprised that Li Luo and the others were so inconspicuous that they were probably still above him in terms of their artistic skills.
Hancang Mansion is in sight. Crossing this ridge, there is Hancang Mansion behind it. At the pass beside the road, there stands a small two-story bamboo building, carrying a wine flag, not cloth, but animal skin, with a
There is a pattern of animal bones painted in ink. There is a forest of green bamboos next to the bamboo building, stretching up the mountain. Green bamboos three to five feet high can be found everywhere. The highest bamboo is nearly ten feet tall. The bamboo body is as thick as the mouth of the altar. In Dagan
There is no such lush and vigorous bamboo forest in Zhongfu.
It was still early, so Li Luo originally thought he would bypass the bamboo building and go straight to Hancang Mansion. When he got close, Luo Que stopped and got off his mules and horses. Before entering the mountain, Luo Que exchanged six mules and horses at a small shop where Tan's family stayed.
, the pace is slower, Li Luo was puzzled at first, but after seeing the ancient winding mountain road, he understood that the horses he used to ride on would have difficulty walking on such a mountain road.
"Master Li, let's rest here for a while before going to Hancang Mansion."
Li Luo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay." Then he got off the mule and horse, and walked towards the bamboo building with Luo Que.
Luo Que secretly praised him. Although he had promised to arrange everything on the way when he left the Tan family, after all, Li Luo was an honored guest who had received Ba Xia's money. If he had any plans, Luo Que would not be able to refute Li Luo.
