King and General untie their battle robes

Bian Youli, Jiang Yan and his party walked on the official road for more than half a month, and finally entered the border gradually.

Jing country's familiar customs are getting weaker and weaker, and the bustling market is falling behind a little bit, followed by the boundless desolation and endless bleakness unique to the border.

It is sparsely populated, and occasionally a few caravans pass by, with herds of horses in a hurry, followed by countless dartmen to protect them.

Every scene is telling the unrest that is about to come out.

Until the dusk gradually deepened, the group finally found the post.Jiang Yan's condition was not very good, and he looked a little tired, so he told Bian Youli and went straight upstairs to rest.The few people who accompanied him were basically scholars, and they hadn't experienced the hardships of this kind of trek, so they also said something when they saw this, and followed Jiang Yan upstairs to rest.

Bian Youli naturally didn't need it.He watched these people go upstairs, walked around the post station, and after confirming that there was no risk, he changed his clothes during the day, took the rain and used his sword, and went out quietly by himself.

The sky at the border is very vast, and from the horizon upwards, a dome is covered in a vast expanse, with countless flickering stars falling in it, shining a clear and direct light, enveloping the sand, stones, plants and trees on the ground, and gilding all things. The upper layer of deep dark light.

But although the scenery is good, Bian Youli will not come out at this time to enjoy the night view.

For half a month on the trip, in order not to make Jiang Yan suspicious, he never saw Mingcha and Runliu.Run Liu is well hidden, walk slowly, and it doesn't matter if you don't see him.But now that he is about to leave the customs, he must see clearly.

Bian Youli was wearing a blue-black cloth, walking in the night, as if he had blended into it, making it difficult to recognize.

But those who are looking for it can always recognize it.

Seeing the mark set before departure, Bian Youli stopped where he was and looked up in all directions.

Surrounded by a wilderness, it is now in the late summer, and the vegetation is lush, displaying clusters of low and continuous black shadows in the dark night.Only where the caravan is stationed can you see a few rays of light.

Behind a large rock in the north, there is a light that is on and off at this time, and the lights are on and off, seemingly unintentionally and intentionally, reciprocating.

Bian Youli looked at it carefully several times, and finally walked north.

"General," when he was a few steps away from the boulder, a low voice came from behind him, "this way!"

Mingcha hid under the rock, and after calling Bian Youli over, he pushed the box in front of him to the outside to block his view, and only after finishing all three sides, he came back to talk to Bian Youli.

Because there are a lot of merchants in this place, Mingcha also dressed up as a merchant, and he used the boxes that were blocked just now to pretend to be goods.

Bian Youli sat down on the ground casually, and after Mingcha sat down, he sized him up carefully, pinched the strange-shaped hat on his head, and said with a smile, "Mingcha, I really can't recognize you in such a suit. come out."

Ming Cha pulled off his hat and threw it on the ground, shook his hair, and said helplessly, "Don't laugh at me, General, I have seen all kinds of clothes during this journey, and I spent a lot of money just buying these things."

Even though Mingcha was young, he always had a calm appearance in the military camp, and he had never shown such a childish look.It was a rare time to see him, and Bian Youli thought his reaction was very amusing, much more interesting than these outlandish costumes.

"Very good, very good," Bian Youli took the hat and made gestures to himself a few times, smiling happily, "You are well dressed."

"Oh," Mingcha looked at the hat with disgust and sighed, and finally got down to business, "Master Jiang didn't notice it, did he?"

When it came to important matters, Bian Youli put away the smile just now, and sat up straight: "No, everything went well. How about you, is this journey smooth?"

Mingcha nodded, and then briefly told Bian Youli about his journey, and finally said with concern: "Brother Zishun is still about seven or eight days away from here, General, you will arrive in Luoyang tomorrow. It’s within the country, and we’re afraid we won’t be able to bring everyone in.”

If thousands of people broke into the border of Luo country together, it would be naked|naked|naked courting death.Not to mention that Cha and Runliu brought as many as 4000 people, even if it was only Mingcha's team, it was impossible for them all to go in.

Bian Youli thought for a while and asked, "How many people can you bring?"

Mingcha: "There are only 1000 to [-] people. We disguised ourselves as a caravan. Any more would be too fake."

If you bring such a mighty caravan, let alone a disguise, even if it is real, it will attract a lot of attention.

"Okay," Bian Youli said after a little thought, "then don't bring too much, you leave the rest to Brother Run, and let him wait for us at the border."

Mingcha nodded in response, and then asked, "Then should I wait here for him, or should I just let him know?"

Hastily leaving more than 1000 people at the border, if Runliu can't arrive in time, it may be a bit troublesome.

Bian Youli: "Anyway, Luo Guoguo is only three to five days away from here. It's not too late for you to catch up with us when Big Brother Run arrives."

Suddenly there was a whistling in the distance, it sounded like an eagle's voice, it sounded suddenly, and disappeared suddenly.

Mingcha's face changed: "Someone is coming again, this place is too strict on the caravan, general, do you have anything else to order?"

Bian Youli shook his head quickly: "No more, go, be careful."

The hat on the ground returned to Mingcha's head, adding some humor to the tense atmosphere.Mingcha cupped his hands hastily at Bian Youli, pushed the box away, and ran towards the source of the sound with a few people guarding outside.

Bian Youli watched him run away, looked around, saw no one was coming, so he also walked towards the posthouse.

The wind lifted the corners of the clothes, making a rustling sound.It is still summer, but in such a place, at such a time, there is still a clear chill, which can be felt through the clothes.

A few steps forward, is the other country.

It may be because of this that even the wind is so bitter.Like those countless battles in the open and in the dark, you chase after each other, endlessly.

As Bian Youli was walking, he couldn't help but look up at Mantian Xingzi.

He is the only one here, with boundless grass and boundless starry sky.

An instinctive thought suddenly came to mind, and before Bian Youli could confirm whether he was sane, he had consciously pulled out the Yu Shi sword and drew a familiar formation on the ground.

The Yu Shi Sword is worthy of being a treasured sword, the blade is unstoppable, with a few swipes, the grass, trees, sand and stones will be wiped away, leaving extremely obvious traces of lines.

Bian Youli looked at the simple array on the ground, and stared at the Yu Shi sword in his hand for a while, deceiving himself and thinking: I didn't want to do it, but this sword is too spiritual.

Taking advantage of the trend, he thought of the person who gave him the sword, and found a good excuse: We are going to Luo Kingdom soon, and for the sake of Ruan Xi's gift of the sword, I have to make a fortune teller for Jiang Yan.

Looking at people's faces is just something that is learned incidentally. Apart from martial arts and strategies, the most proficient skill Bian Youli has learned from his master in Gu Zhong is divination.

Facing the stars and drawing the formation, all the affairs of the world can be seen in one's eyes.

But Master had instructed before that one should not easily spy on the Mandate of Heaven, so Bian Youli seldom did anything.It's just that facing such a star screen today, with a slight change of mind, the formation was so out of hand.

Bian Youli took Yu Shijian back, and gained peace of mind from Ruan Xi.He approached the formation, squatted down and picked up a few stones from the ground, looked up at the stars, and quickly began to draw in his hands.

It's been a long time since I've been able to do this, Bian Youli drew on the ground for nearly a quarter of an hour, finally stood up contentedly, and silently recited the deduced hexagrams to the formation.

The starlight sprinkled down finely, spreading a layer of diffuse twilight on the ground, illuminating the person on the ground who was concentrating on calculations, and lightly casting an ethereal shadow on him.

Light and hazy, like a mist shrouded in it.

"What kind of hexagram is this?" After a while, Bian Youli looked at the starry sky in astonishment, his expression turned from anticipation to bewilderment, and then from bewilderment to suspicion, "It's because I haven't used hexagrams for a long time, did I remember the algorithm wrong?"
