Chapter 362 A Long Road

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

On the giant treasure ship at the port, Ye Jingtang took out the big black horse that had been fattened for two days from the stable, took the saddle from the harness rack, and put it on the horse's back.

Fan Qinghe was dressed as an exotic beauty, standing beside him, holding a small purse in his hand, and his eyes were obviously a little confused:

"Why did you go to Xiaoshan suddenly? Is there something urgent?"

Ye Jingtang didn't say it in a hurry, but after paying for the small clothes he had just bought at the Cloth Shop, he couldn't just pick out the ones Yun Li chose and give them to him together.

Then Yunli ran out in embarrassment, took the purse with the clothes and stuffed it into Bing Tuotuo who was waiting outside the door.

This back and forth is basically the same as giving him a black stocking thigh-high top.

Ye Jingtang didn't dare to observe the reaction of Lady Xue, so she took Aunt Fan and ran away on the pretext that she was busy going to Xiaoshan.

Naturally, what he had said could not be ignored, so he went directly to the dock outside the city to pick up the horses.

Seeing Miss Fan asking blankly, Ye Jingtang said with a smile:

"Go to Xiaoshan Fort for a stroll and check things out. Xiaoshan is not too far from here. You should be able to get there in the middle of the night..."

"Should I follow too?"

"Xiaoshan Fort is a well-known sect in the right way and cooperates with the imperial court. When I infiltrate, I usually beat everyone down. If there is too much noise, it may not have a good impact. I need Miss Fan's help in this matter."

Fan Qinghe was an expert at sneaking into wealthy families to investigate things, but she had no expectations beforehand.

In the morning, Ye Jingtang suddenly came over to take her shopping, bought her expensive and beautiful clothes to make her happy, and then went out to spend the night alone...

Isn’t it obvious who he’s going to do next?

Fan Qinghe pinched the purse containing the sexy little clothes, feeling a little panicked and hesitated:

"I can accompany you to do things, but at night...at night..."

Ye Jingtang paused slightly while putting on the saddle, shook his head and smiled:

"Whether Miss Fan believes it or not, it was really a misunderstanding before. I accidentally took advantage of the girl. I will not take it lightly and evade responsibility because of the accident. But the girl's family is not willing, and I can't be shameless and force it." Responsible."

Fan Qinghe had been with Ye Jingtang for so long, but she actually didn't believe that Ye Jingtang could do that kind of thing that would damage a woman's image by force. Seeing that Ye Jingtang made the topic clear, she simply asked directly:

"You were cupping me, and I accidentally got up and let you see it. It was indeed a misunderstanding. That time when I was drinking, I was hugged by you and fell asleep, which was also an accident. The broken bed board was also an accident. But you were in the new house and ran to my room. Li, you still... kissed me, how do you explain this?"

After Fan Qinghe asked a few questions, his face turned red, but he still acted like a serious elder and waited for the answer.

Ye Jingtang hesitated for a moment, turned around, and said truthfully:

"Didn't Fairy Lu tease me all the time? I was just planning to sneak over there that time to give her a memory, but I didn't expect that you and Fairy Lu changed rooms and then kissed the wrong person...

Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, half convinced and half doubtful. He originally wanted to say, 'She is Master Jing Wang. Are you trying to trick a ghost?' ’.

But then I thought about it, Master Jing Wang has nothing to do with the Night Terror Hall. The emperor's family is already in chaos. Her aunt can go to the royal court to be the princess of the Night Terror Hall. What's so strange about Master entering the palace to help take care of the baby... …

And with the character of the demon girl who is the reincarnation of a fox demon, and spending time with Ye Jingtang day and night, it would be strange if something didn't happen. Maybe the demon girl took the initiative to seduce her...

Thinking of this, Fan Qinghe's eyes showed a strange look and asked:

"You and the witch...did she take the initiative to hook up with you?"

Ye Jingtang shook his head: "It doesn't count. As time goes by, love will grow and the two will be happy."

Fan Qinghe seemed to be nodding, and after thinking for a while he asked:

"That means you have never had any thoughts about me. It's all a misunderstanding?"

"..."

Ye Jingtang felt that this question was a bit direct, and there were questions whether the answer was correct or incorrect. Thinking about it, he smiled and said:

"Everyone has a love for beauty. Miss Fan is so kind to me and good-looking. As a normal man, I will definitely keep it in mind. But it is indeed a misunderstanding to sneak into the house in the middle of the night."

In mind……

I was thinking about how nice it sounds...

Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, feeling that the answer was quite ambiguous, and did not dare to think about it. He raised his hand to hook the hair on his shoulders, and turned to look at the sky:

"It's already afternoon, let's leave early... I'll come back and ask the witch. If you lie to me, I won't believe you anymore."

Ye Jingtang smiled softly, led the big black horse to the shore, got on the horse and whistled:

"Hey~"

Not far away, a bird squatting by the river watching an old man fishing quickly flapped its wings and flew back, landed in front of the saddle, and said "chichichi..." a few times, probably saying that the old man must have good light skills and has been in the Air Force. None of them carry poles.

Ye Jingtang placed the bird between his legs and squatted down, then stretched out his hand:

"Let's go."

Fan Qinghe was carried for a long distance in Huangming Mountain, so he didn't mind riding on the same horse. He sat on the back of the saddle with a tap of his toes, put his purse in his arms, thought for a while and murmured:

"No wonder the witch has been staying at the Escort Agency for the past two days and has not come to accompany the Queen Mother. It turns out... hmph..."

The tone is intriguing, a bit unpleasant and hard to express the sourness of being handed over your own cabbage by your sworn enemy.

Ye Jingtang didn't say much, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and galloped along the official road towards the southeast coast...

…

——

Xiaoshan County is located on the southeast side of Jiangzhou and faces the sea to the east. The navy of the Wei Dynasty was stationed in the seaport of Xiaoshan County. Its main function was to prevent Beiliang from bypassing Yanzhou by sea and attack the southeastern interior, while at the same time suppressing Yanzhou and intimidating Tiannan.

Because it has been an important military town since ancient times, Xiaoshan County is not as emphasis on culture as other counties in Jiangzhou. The martial arts is quite prosperous, and various workshops that make a living by making ordnance and ships are also concentrated here. They have been passed down through the dynasties. Gradually, Jianghu sects such as the Boat Gang and the Zhujian Villa were formed.

Xiaoshan Fort is regarded as a longevity star in the entire Wei Dynasty. It was founded when Dayan was the founding of the previous dynasty and has survived more than three hundred years of ups and downs. Its seniority can be compared with many aristocratic families in Jiangzhou.

But because Xiaoshan Fort is good at forging weapons and is not outstanding in martial arts. Since the emergence of Xiao Zu who dominated the world, there has been no one to take the lead. However, the two dynasties have always provided support. , or ups and downs...

Up to now, Xiaoshan Fort has long been reduced to a second-rate sect in Jianghu. The people who can talk about things in Jiangzhou are all Jianghu people who think about weapons.

However, there is no Wu Kui who can carry the heavyweight, and can survive in the world for hundreds of years by relying on his craftsmanship alone, which is enough to illustrate the recognition of the golden signboard of 'Xiaoshan Fort' in the world.

The main business of Xiaoshan Fort is to help the imperial court forge ordnance. Making weapons for Jianghu people is a private job to maintain its reputation. If you don't make money from this, you have to pay attention to quality rather than quantity. A famous master in the family can't make many weapons in a year. It’s not unusual to wait three to five years for weapons.

Because weapons are the lifeblood of a warrior, if something goes wrong, his life will basically be lost. People in the martial arts must choose the best. For this reason, just at the end of the year, countless warriors have come from all over the world and gathered near Xiaoshan. I went around asking connections to see if I could hire a famous expert to help create something that would work for me.

Although the current status of Jianghu is not high, it has been passed down by our ancestors for a long time. The scale of Xiaoshan Fort is far larger than that of ordinary Jianghu sects. The buildings of the villa are scattered and scattered, occupying half of the hilltop; and below is a town where workshops gather, which are crowded all year round. There are countless Jianghu people staying in the town.

In the middle of the night, the sound of blacksmithing and the heroic words of drinkers can be heard everywhere in Xiaoshan Town. It is quieter inside Xiaoshan Fort, where only the sounds of gold and iron and shouts can be heard.

Outside the main hall of Xiaoshan Castle, nearly a hundred young men and women stood around the ring, taking turns to compete in the ring. The most outstanding young man among them could get a weapon forged by the master of the castle. This was also a way for Xiaoshan Castle to maintain its reputation and make friends with the world. The means of younger generations.

Because he could have prostitutes for free, and he could also let his apprentices go out and gain a good reputation, there were naturally many famous celebrities from all over the world. Even Wuzhou's socialites, the Three Wonderful Immortals, all came with their apprentices.

However, because he had witnessed the tyranny of Ye Jingtang, Sanjue Immortal was really not very interested in the scenes of these children playing house, and kept sitting in the room, chatting with the castle owner Xiao Zongyuan:

"Before going to Zhou's house, I thought Jianghu was dead. Now I realize that Jianghu has been silent for ten years. It's a big deal. The future is terrible. It's really not a joke..."

"Yes. When Ye Jingtang defeated Jian Yuhua at the Zhou family, many young people in Jiangzhou were eager to give it a try and prepare to fight for Honghua downstairs. However, before anyone could be found, Mr. Xuanyuan lay down first. It is not an exaggeration to say that this momentum is approaching the old gods of Fengguan City..."

"Alas, Fengguancheng started fighting from the tenth place in the world, calling names one by one, and beat the whole world into a loss of temper. I guess Ye Jingtang also has this strength, but Zhou Chiyang is a chicken thief, he will not lose if he doesn't fight; Xuanji Zhenren has another It's a woman. It doesn't look good if you win, and it doesn't look good if you lose. You can only jump over it. If you don't defeat ten people in the world, it will be difficult to beat Fengguan City's record..."

"Fengguancheng doesn't have many Northern Dynasty warriors. If Ye Jingtang can sweep across the rivers and lakes in the north and south, and then bring all the female warriors from the north and south into the palace, I guess the old god in Fengguan City will have to say goodbye when he sees it. Ashamed..."

"Haha, that's true..."

…

There was laughter in the main hall, but at the same moment, deep underground under the main hall of Xiaoshan Fort, the atmosphere was not so relaxed and harmonious.

The dark red fire light illuminated the corners of the large stone room. The weapon racks beside the wall were filled with swords, guns, swords and halberds. In the center was a blast furnace. The surface of the furnace originally had patterns and carvings, but due to its age, it has become Charcoal black.

The temperature inside the stone chamber is extremely high, making it impossible for ordinary people to stay inside for a long time.

But a thin old man turned a blind eye to the hot air. He stood in front of the giant furnace with his hands behind his back, his eyes reflecting the red sword shadow in the furnace.

Step, step~~

The sound of slight footsteps sounded from inside the stone room, approaching from far away.

The old man glanced at the entrance out of the corner of his eye, then continued toward the stove and said:

"How's it going?"

The person who came in from the outside was an old Confucian scholar in his fifties. His hands were clasped behind his back and he looked relaxed. He first glanced in front of the stove, then picked up the swords neatly placed by the wall and looked at them carefully:

"Beiliang's Twelfth Floor and Liang Shangyan suddenly appeared in Jiangzhou City. Not only did the Night Terror Hall leak, but they also seemed to have attracted two other big dragons. The situation was a bit unexpected."

"The unknown master who approached last time was from the imperial court?"

"It's possible. Last time when I recruited Hua Ling, I leaked my identity. Hua Ling, a stupid young man, must have said something to Ye Jingtang before he died to attract so many masters... Ye Jingtang should have come to see me. I will take care of this matter, you don’t need to worry.”

The old man asked: "I have not been involved in Jianghu affairs for many years, and I am not sure about the depth of Night Terror Hall. If he breaks into this place by mistake, what are my chances of winning?"

Long Zhengqing flicked the sword open with his fingers. After observing it for a few moments, he hung it on his waist and walked outside:

"Ye Jingtang is so lucky that it is better not to have conflicts. According to information, Ye Jingtang was still at the Duke of Qin's Mansion in the morning, inspecting the weapons of the army, and will not be coming for a short time. I will go to Wanghai Tower to engrave him now. Write a letter of challenge to prevent him from looking around. If you are doubtful, you can put out the stove and take the things away and hide them for a while."

The old man thought about it for a moment, then looked back at the stove:

"The heat is always a little low. Now that the stove is out, all the hard work over the years has been wasted. You try your best to lure the person away. If he really dares to come, I would like to try the human blood sacrificial vessel recorded in the ancient book to see if it can work."

"What age do you think you are, and you still believe in these ancient mystical remedies, using bone powder and charcoal to stew steel, is no more reliable than dripping human blood on a sword..."

"..."

——

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

The sky turned dark unconsciously, and a silver moon hung high in the sky.

Black horses were galloping on the official road. Although it was already the winter moon, the grass and trees in Jiangzhou's wilderness were just a bit withered and yellow. From time to time, evergreen vegetation could be seen along the way, giving people a feeling as if it had just entered autumn.

The long journey is boring and inevitably makes people sleepy. The bird squatting on the saddle has already dozed off in the bumps, and was held by Ye Jingtang's hands to prevent him from falling.

Fan Qinghe was sitting in the back. He was neither far nor close, and it was not easy to chat with Ye Jingtang. When he was secretly wondering what the demon girl was doing with her family Jingtang, he suddenly found that Ye Jingtang, who was sitting in front, slowly He slowly leaned on her shoulder. There was no weight at first, but then his weight slowly came on, and his head moved little by little.

?

Fan Qinghe turned around and shook his shoulders with his hand:

"Night Terror Hall?"

"Um?"

Ye Jingtang quickly sat up straight, woke up from his doze, and looked around the field:

"What's wrong?"

Fan Qinghe looked at Ye Jingtang's side face:

"Why did you doze off? Did you not sleep last night?"

Night Terror Hall faced three full white moons last night, and I couldn't even see them. I couldn't think of sleeping. It was nothing at first, but after running for a long distance and not talking, I was really a little sleepy. He said:

"I was chatting last night. I really didn't sleep much. It's okay. I can hold on."

When Fan Qinghe heard this, he naturally became serious, turned around and rode behind, put his hands through his waist, and grabbed the reins:

"You haven't had a good rest, and you still dare to go out and walk around? What can you do? Just take a nap for a while, then sleep well when you get to a place where you can stay, and then go to Xiaoshan Fort when you feel refreshed."

Night Terror Hall was just a little dozed off, and it was no problem to ride to the town at this time. I wanted to ride the horse by myself.

Unexpectedly, Miss Fan was quite fierce. She patted his hand holding the reins, and then lightly kicked the horse's belly:

"drive--"

The big black horse immediately accelerated, and Ye Jingtang's body leaned back with the inertia, pressing on two soft pillows.

"?"

Ye Jingtang suddenly woke up a little and sat up a little straighter to avoid bumping into each other.

In the past, Ye Jingtang would hold the girl in his arms while riding, and just touch the hot water bottle along the way. Now that the girl is holding him in his arms and riding, he doesn't know what to do.

He picked up the bird and rubbed it, then took out a map from the bag on the side of the horse and looked at it in the moonlight:

"We are almost arriving at Xiaoshan County. The seven or eight miles ahead should be Huangqi County. I heard from Yunli that Huangqi lotus root powder is a specialty. There are stores in the capital. I haven't eaten it yet. You can try it later..."

Fan Qinghe put his arm around the man's waist and rode the horse. Because they were smaller in size, he had to slightly raise his chest and head to see the road, so they couldn't avoid touching each other.

She didn't feel anything at first, but as the horse jolted, the skirt of her clothes trembled up and down, and the top of her clothes rubbed back and forth on her back, and she gradually developed a strange numbing feeling...

"..."

Fan Qinghe blinked his eyes, and his cheeks turned red involuntarily. He wanted to lean back further, but her clothes were not too small. She sat behind her and walked around Ye Jingtang to grab the reins. It was obviously difficult to keep the distance.

After going back and forth like this for a while, Fan Qinghe felt that his body was reacting strangely, and he wanted to squeeze his legs. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly felt guilty and moved forward to press against his back.

The grinding stopped suddenly and I felt much more comfortable...

Ye Jingtang was looking at a map when suddenly he was pressed tightly against a pillow, and there was a warm breath coming from his ears. His eyes changed obviously. He turned to look at Miss Fan, but stopped talking.

Fan Qinghe suppressed the strangeness in his heart, rested his chin on his shoulder, and kept his expression as usual:

"Children of Jianghu, don't stick to trivial matters when you go out. Just give directions and don't think wildly."

Can I stop thinking about this?

Ye Jingtang was pressed tightly against him and had no place to hide. He took a map and scanned the field, trying his best to look normal:

"You should go to the right, turn around from the front, and you can see the town... Sure enough..."

"This town is quite big."

"It's really big..."

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

…
