Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Sen Ying said coquettishly: "It's broad daylight, I'm not afraid!"

"It's good that you're not afraid. Otherwise, it would be a great regret in life if you didn't hear this story! It is said that next door to the scholar, there lived a hero named Yan Chixia..."

I followed my memory and tried my best to recreate that tragic and beautiful love story for them. When I told them the story near the end, Tu Shanjing couldn't help but be moved. He murmured and repeated: "The sky is full of frost over the ten-mile Pinghu Lake, and every inch of my black hair is filled with sorrow for my youth. Looking at each other in the moonlight, I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals. I only envy the mandarin ducks, not the immortals..."

Sen Ying even started to wipe away tears: "What a pair of infatuated man and resentful woman! Dear sister, please continue to tell me, what happened next?"

Seeing her urgency, I continued, "Yan Chixia discovered that the inn was filled with ghosts, so he hurried to tell Ning Caichen and Xiaoqian to leave quickly. Unexpectedly, before the three of them stepped out of the door, Xiaoqian was sucked back into the wall and disappeared. Yan Chixia had no choice but to take the risk of going to the ghost world with Ning Caichen..."

By the end, Sen Ying was in tears: "Separated by a ray of sunlight, the two of them were separated just like that! But fortunately, Xiao Qian was reincarnated, and we can see each other again more than ten years later. It can be considered a destiny in the next life."

Tu Shanjing reached out and opened the curtain of the car window, looked out the window and said, "But even if we meet again, she will not be the same Xiaoqian..."

Suddenly his expression changed, and a golden dagger appeared in his hand. He asked anxiously, "Who?! Who's there?!"

The rest of us in the car huddled together, not knowing what was going on.

I heard a voice coming from a tree not far from the car window: "Don't be afraid, I mean no harm." The voice sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember when I had met such a master.

Tu Shanjing looked out the window warily: "You followed us stealthily and said you had no ill intentions. This is really hard to believe."

The man laughed loudly: "Oh, Mr. Bai, I am so engrossed in your story! You are so talented in writing, and your wife is no ordinary person either!"

I recognized the voice. It was Ali from Fengzhuang that night. I didn't expect the kid from the farm to have such good skills. I'm afraid he's not a simple person.

Tu Shanjing said seriously: "So you came here just to listen to a story?"

Ali said jokingly, "Tell the guy in the back car to put away his weapons and stop attacking me, and I'll go down and tell you."

Tu Shanjing said in a clear voice: "Luming, no problem. Let him come."

I heard Ali jumping from a tree not far away to the tree closest to the carriage, and then jumping onto the roof of the carriage. He laughed and said, "We met by chance, but we got along very well. Grandma likes you very much, and I got a magic medicine as a gift, so I came to tell you that there are many troubles in the west, so don't go any further. Where is your hometown? I want to see if there is a quiet route that avoids the troubles."

Tu Shanjing said in a deep voice: "Thank you for your concern. But we have our own arrangements."

Ali laughed on the roof of the car: "It turns out that we are meddling too much. It seems that people who are involved in trouble can only go to the center of trouble. But you, men, women, young and old, all have spiritual power, and you have two masters, so I think you can escape safely." After saying that, he did a head-on hook and popped his head out of the car window facing me, which scared me.

With a burning gaze, he glanced around the carriage and said, "Take care of yourselves, everyone! Especially Mrs. Bai, I'd like to hear more interesting stories from you in the future!" After that, he flipped back onto the roof of the carriage, lightly tiptoed several feet away, and disappeared among the golden ginkgo leaves.

You jumped out of the back car, knelt outside the car and said, "Please forgive me, sir! I am incompetent and didn't realize that he followed us all the way!"

Tu Shanjing stretched out his hand from the car window and waved, saying, "Get up. He didn't mean to harm us. I just saw his trouser legs and they stood out in the forest of leaves, so I noticed him."

You stood up and said, "This person's kung fu is rare in the world, but..."

Tu Shanjing took over the conversation: "There are only a handful of people in the world who are better than you in martial arts. You have thought about it for a while, but you still can't figure out where he came from."

You Yi bowed: "Young Master is wise."

Tu Shanjing put away the sword in his arms and smiled slightly, "It's okay. At least he came here with good intentions to persuade us. He is friendly. As for his background... Such a young talent, his edge is hard to hide. We will know it in the future."

You said "Yes!" and walked back to the carriage. Seeing that they had finished talking, Yu Xin raised his whip and urged the horses forward.

We were drugged at the beginning of this trip, and later we encountered a master who we didn't know whether he was a friend or an enemy. In addition, the spies reported that Xuan was trying to rush here, so in the following days we no longer traveled and played, but focused on the journey. It was getting colder and colder along the way, but fortunately Yu Xin made flexible arrangements so that we could eat well and wear warm clothes. Ruiyang and Senying didn't even wash their clothes in order to hurry. They simply threw away the clothes after changing them and bought new simple clothes - they were not expensive anyway.

But Xiao Hui and I were busier than them. Since we were on the road most of the time and bored, I told one story after another, and Xiao Hui wrote one story after another. I don't know how many chapters were sent out by carrier pigeons, and how many copies were printed by Tushan's Su Zhizhai and how much money was sold. I didn't care about it. Anyway, Tushan's family was rich, which meant I was rich. Following Tushan Jing, he would never treat me badly.

After traveling like this for about half a month, we finally saw the towering gate tower of Chenyi City from afar. We stood on the top of a small mountain, and the plain in front of us was in full view. We saw a big river running by Chenyi City, with several tributaries, one of which surrounded Chenyi City and went out of the city. There were also lakes dotted on the plain, which could be called a water town.

The harvest season has passed, and the yellow-green color on the plain is gone. Only brown-black soil and dead grass remain, with a few dead trees and occasional wisps of water vapor from rivers and lakes, which makes the scene quite desolate. Yu Xin jumped off the carriage, walked to Tushan Jing who was looking into the distance, pointed to the distance and said, "Sir, look over there, that's the Tushan family's convoy."

I looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a convoy of more than 30 people moving slowly towards the largest forest.

Tu Shan Jing was surprised and said, "Strange, we are almost entering the city of Chenyi. If we don't take action now, it will be too late. What are these robbers waiting for?"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 men with swords and knives rushed out of the woods. They were all masked, so their appearances could not be seen clearly from a distance. The Tushan family's chariot team must have received orders in advance. Xu Huang pretended to parry a few moves, then abandoned the chariots and fled, running towards the direction of the city of Chenyi. The robbers harnessed the chariots and hurriedly drove eastward.
