Dragon Queen

The next day, Kazuyu divided the work and each went to the street to inquire, and finally found some clues.

It turned out that there was indeed a theater troupe who went out of the city yesterday evening. This troupe has been in Qingshi City for some years. When it first got up, it was a local business. Later, it gradually became famous and would go out every year. some time.I don't go to places that are too far away, I only linger in the Jiangnan area.

Since this theater troupe leaves Qingshi City according to the same rule year after year, naturally there will be no suspicion.But there is always a little disadvantage, that is, as soon as they go out, people who have seen or not seen in this city can give a general idea of ​​their whereabouts-the place they are going to has not changed much.

The four of them left Qingshi City immediately, and followed the troupe along an ancient dusty road.

As for the many affairs behind him, Yiyu explained to the proprietress that Feng Chuanting is the most familiar place in Qingshi City.

The troupe's dowry and clothing should be loaded on the carriage. There are some weights, and there are also rut marks on the road.The four of them chased along several deep and shallow ruts for two days and two nights almost non-stop around the clock, and turned into a mountain.

Where cars and horses pass, where smoke and dust rise.

One feather and one horse took the lead, running ahead, and released their spiritual consciousness to check all the way. After discovering the location of the troupe, they hurried back and told the other three: "About ten miles ahead is the place where the troupe sleeps. It's getting dark now. Or take this opportunity to take it all at once, so as to avoid endless troubles."

After a few days of getting along, Liumo also joked with Yiyu: "You are in such a hurry, you are no different from Liuzhu."

Kazuha looked disdainful, "I'm a lady, don't compare me with the kind of people who draw their swords at each other when they disagree with each other."

Liuzhu gritted her teeth and said, "I'm so worried about what a villain did, I'm ashamed to say that I'm a famous lady."

"Have you ever heard 'Only a villain and a woman are difficult to raise'? Although I don't agree with this sentence, but I am a girl, and I can't be a gentleman."

Liuzhu: "..."

Satisfied, Yiyu turned to Zhezhu and asked Zhezhu: "What to do next depends on Zhezhu."

The four of them chased each other for a few days, and fought on the road for a few days. Liumo dared to joke with Yiyu, but she alone dared not say anything interesting to Zhezhu. You have to be dumb, otherwise you will only be able to sing stand-up.

At this moment, Kazuha changed the subject of the conversation, and the atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Zhe Zhu didn't know what was going on in his mind, when Yi Yu came to ask, he replied: "I'll chase after tomorrow."

"This..." Liu Mo hesitated for a while and said, "Your Highness can be rescued tonight, why wait until tomorrow?"

"Wait." After Zhezhu finished speaking, he got off the horse, and seeing this, Yi Yu got off the horse.Liumo and Liuzhu looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally had to dismount.

They picked up some dead branches and found a shelter from the wind to light a fire, and the four of them went to sleep in their respective places.They are chasing people, not being chased, and they don't need night watchmen.

When the moon reached the mid-heaven, Liu Zhu woke up from her dream and stared at the moon in the sky with her eyes open.Liumo woke up when she felt a little movement nearby, she was a little surprised to see that Liuzhu was not asleep, and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you sleep?"

"If you wake up, you won't be able to sleep." Liuzhu sat up and moved her body towards Liumo, her eyes turned from the full moon in the sky to Zhezhu who was sleeping soundly beside her, "What did she mean by that? We didn't have to wait Yes. With just you and me, it is not difficult to save people in the dark."

"His Royal Highness should be fine before arriving at the destination." Liu Mo said, "As for Zhe Zhu's thoughts, I don't know too much, but this person seems to have the ability to know the world, she said to wait, wait It must be something else."

Yiyu turned his back to the two of them, secretly opened his eyes under the cover of night, and took a look at Zhezhu.The latter sleeps peacefully and calmly, but Kazuyu is very clear that the person in front of the couch is not really asleep.

The next day, the four of them did not deliberately slow down their pace. They set off early in the morning and quickly caught up with the theater troupe.

Liuzhu was ready to move, but saw Zhezhu urging him to go forward and take a place, Shen Ran glanced away, and fixed his eyes on the troupe's master.

The leader of the class heard that there were people behind him, and he had already called for people to stop and come here.Zhezhu waited for him to come, and hurriedly followed the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, and explained the situation of his group in a cold but polite tone: "I came from Luan City and planned to go to the ten cities in the southwest. I didn't expect to meet you here. I heard that there are many snakes, insects and beasts on the way to the southwest, and there are often bandits on the way, and we are not familiar with the route. If the leader doesn't mind, can you let me go with you. Once you enter the southwest, we will no longer follow .As for safety issues on the way, we can take responsibility on our own, and if we have spare energy, we can also count as serving the team leader."

The class leader said: "How did the girl know that we are going to the ten cities in the southwest?"

Zhezhu didn't see any panic: "If you want to go from Luan City to the southwest, you must pass Qingshi City. When I went to the city to ask for directions, the people in the city told me to wait. I heard that the leader of the class is merciful by nature, willing to do good, and travels between the two places all year round. I know it by heart. If we are lucky enough to catch up and get the approval of the class leader, the road ahead will be much easier."

The class leader laughed "haha" a few times, "You are an interesting doll. You seem to be difficult to get along with, but you speak beautifully. I, an old man, can't stand this kind of praise. If you want to follow, just follow. But there are too many of us. Messy, the footsteps are slower than yours."

Zhe Zhu said: "It's not a problem, I waited to the southwest for fun, not for business."

The class leader shook his head with a smile, and greeted a group of people to move on.Zhezhu urged the horse to follow, and behind Liuzhu raised her chin with her hand, "...I just realized that she talks so much..."

Liu Mo gave a soft "cough" as a reminder.

Yiyu smiled complacently, "Zhezhu was fighting all the heroes back then, but Wentao Wulue's words and demeanor were not the best."

Liu Mo's heart moved, "You two are good friends, you should know the Zhezhu matter best, why don't you tell us about it, and you can also pass the time."

Yiyu immediately changed the topic: "Zhezhu and I are both cultivators, otherwise you see we are so young, this is called rejuvenation. I don't know if you have heard that there was a monster in that mountain. Let me tell you, at that time all the villages and towns under the mountain were harmed by it, Zhe Zhu went to kill the demons after hearing about it. The sky was sunny and clear that day, but suddenly the sky darkened, and then a gust of evil wind came, and the wind and rain were heavy..."

Zhezhu directly ignored the nonsense behind.

The mountain road is rugged, there are many people walking slowly, stop and go, Zhezhu also found that there is something wrong with this troupe.It is said that all the people in the carriage are danjiao, but after a few days, I saw people coming in and out to get and deliver some things, but I never saw the people inside come down, and I never heard the people inside talk.

However, this is not the time to find out and save lives.

When the group walked for a few days and were about to walk out of this mountain, more than a dozen men with shaggy beards and sturdy builds jumped out of the forest. The leader was carrying two axes, and he seemed very difficult to mess with.

Zhezhu looked behind him, and sure enough there were more than a dozen people coming from behind.There was no way out of this road except front and back, and they were surrounded.

Next to the man with the ax was a man with a machete, who seemed to be speaking for the boss: "I opened this mountain, and I planted this road..."

The troupe immediately let out a burst of laughter.

The pair of copper bell-like eyes holding the knife stared hard, "I opened this mountain, and I planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you will leave money to buy roads. If you dare to say no, you will go forward and grab your head, and die in the In the wilderness, the officials don’t care about the burial. Send it to the Wangxiang Terrace, and you will never come back!"

"Tsk, it's such a long yelling, people will run away in this time, right?" Kazuya mocked.

The one holding the knife looked this way, "Hehe" smiled and revealed a row of yellow teeth, "Girls are pretty, don't look at your sharp teeth and mouth now, you will suffer later."

"I don't know who is going to suffer." Yiyu secretly used a little spell as he said, but was blocked by Zhezhu.Yiyu snorted, "It seems that you are going to meet a 'noble person' today."

The one holding the broad ax held the broad ax in one hand, and swung it with the other. The blade of the ax was shining with cold light, and a bright silver flower came out, "Listen, each man pays 50 taels of silver, and each woman pays 200 taels of silver. Those who cannot be handed in will be killed on the spot, and the women will be snatched back to the stockade."

There are more than 20 people in the whole theatrical troupe, including apprentices and miscellaneous workers. The tolls cannot be paid without a few thousand taels of silver.The head teacher is also very embarrassed.

Naturally, the highwayman would not show any kindness or do good deeds, so he immediately ordered someone to arrest an eight or nine-year-old child, and then cut him off with a knife in front of everyone.

Blood splashed on the face of the old squad leader, and several military students in the squad were already angry, and the scene was tense.I just listened to the class leader saying: "When you go out, you don't bring much money. There are eight women and fourteen men in my team, and I count the old man, and it costs more than 3000 taels of silver. The old man is following behind. A few friends, this calculation, let alone 4000 taels of silver. The old man will not be able to spend so much money."

"If you don't get the money, you'll get your life." He sneered with an axe, "Come on, boys, kill the men and keep the women."

The two parties quickly started fighting, there were a few martial arts students in the troupe, they were good at fighting and acting, and they had some martial arts foundation, but they were just trying to support it.

Seeing that the battle situation was unfavorable, Liu Mo joined the battle situation with her sword and horse, but failed to reverse much.The number of robbers is enough to fight the number of people that the wheel can fight, Zhezhu knows it well, but still waits and sees.

"Zhezhu, I'm seeing blood, I'm going to die." Zhezhu didn't move, and Yi Yu didn't intervene, he just explained the situation of the battle in a serious manner.

"You—" Liuzhu was speechless for a while, hesitated for a moment, and joined the battle.

On a spacious official road in the distance, a group of people is coming.
