Ye Gui

The autumn sun is gradually setting, the twilight is all together, and the clouds are turning towards the evening.In the bamboo forest, a group of chariots and horses moved forward unhurriedly.

The two men in black cloth on horseback at the front discussed in a low voice: "What's the matter? It's getting late, do you want to find a place to stay for the night?"

"Hey, if it wasn't for that old man who had to take a nap, we wouldn't be one day late." The speaker glanced at the carriage behind, the two-horse carriage, the curtains were tightly closed.

"Be quiet! If you are heard by the master, you will be finished!" The one who spoke in front tightened the reins, slapped him on the back of the head with his backhand, and turned the horse's head, "I'll ask Brother Tong."

The man on a bay red horse next to the carriage saw the person in front of him fall off his horse, and took a few steps forward with the horse's belly: "What?"

"Brother Tong, it's getting late. There's a town in front of us. Why don't we stay for one night and leave tomorrow. We won't be able to get there today."

Lin Tong nodded: "I'll go and inform Master Gui."

He raised his hand and knocked on the window edge of the carriage, but there was no movement inside.

The person on the other side of the carriage heard the sound and looked over and exchanged glances with him.

He knocked again, still nothing.

"Master, it's getting late, let's find a place to stay first, and go on our way tomorrow?"

It took a long time for the carriage to make a sound of "hmm", as if it had just woken up.

After getting the answer, Lin Tong glanced at the people on the opposite side of the carriage, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Everyone was worried along the way, for fear that if they didn't do something well and the master in the car didn't like it, they would be struck by lightning on their heads.

The town is not big, and there is only one inn. The mid-autumn festival has just passed half a month. There are fewer travelers from other places, and the inn's business is deserted. Seeing ten of them entering the courtyard in a mighty manner, the proprietress hurriedly greeted them.

"Are the distinguished guests going to the top or staying in the hotel?"

Lin Tong led the horse: "Stay in the hotel. One upper room and six ordinary rooms."

"Come on! Xiaoqi! Take all the guest's horses to the stable and feed them!"

The others were busy moving their luggage into the store. Lin Tong stood in front of the carriage and said respectfully, "Master, we've arrived at the inn."

The door curtain embroidered with dark gold flowing clouds was lifted, and a black deerskin boot stuck out. He quickly reached out and was pushed away by the person inside: "I'm not disabled yet." lazy.

The lady proprietress was waiting at the door, seeing the well-trained formation, she knew that there was someone rich and powerful in the carriage. Although their town was not big, it was the nearest town to Yanming City in the frontier. Caravans from the city to other countries will pass by here.

She is a discerning person. She has seen a lot of people, so she naturally knows who doesn't need to bother and who needs to be taken care of.

Hearing such a melodious voice, he must be a handsome young master. Maybe this is the first time he ran a caravan for Lao Tzu. This kind of second-generation ancestor can't bear hardships. Everything should be the best and most expensive, and money is the best earned.

She looked expectantly at a man coming out of the carriage. He was dressed in a blue-colored narrow-sleeved uniform, with a tall and straight figure, with ink-like waist-length black hair hanging behind his head, and a golden jade hair button on his forehead and ears. Neatly buttoned, the temperament is outstanding and elegant.

The proprietress became excited, although she only saw a back, but with this figure, she must be a heavenly figure!She unconsciously held her breath.

But the moment the man jumped out of the carriage, he was tripped by something, and Lin Tong rushed over to him, but he didn't catch him, and he slapped him straight on the ground.

This sudden turn of events shocked the proprietress's jaw to the ground.

Lin Tong helped him up, and the other subordinates seemed to be used to it, stopped for a while and then did what they should do, as if they didn't see it.

The person from the opposite side of the carriage ran over just now, squatted on the ground and patted the dirt on the man's legs: "How is it? Did you hurt from the fall?" As soon as he opened his mouth, he knew it was a woman.

The man held back his anger and pretended to be calm: "...it doesn't matter."

Lin Tong told his sister: "Xiao Shao, I'll take the general... I'll take the master back to the room to change clothes."

"Okay, I'll see what's in the store and ask them to prepare it. If there's no food I like, I'll go look for it in the town." Lin Xiaoxiao responded, taking out a handkerchief to wipe the man's face The soil on the ground was snatched by the man and thrown to the ground, he stepped on it and crushed it: "You!" He said viciously, "Anyone who dares to speak out when we go back will be dealt with by military law!"

Lin Xiao picked up the handkerchief without any discomfort, and bowed with several of his subordinates, "Yes!"

The man shook off Lin Tong's hand holding him, and walked into the shop.He walked very slowly, taking every step carefully, like a toddler.

Late autumn night came early, and it was dark the day before dinner. Lin Tong was afraid that he would fall again, so he chased after him. When he saw him stepping over the threshold, his heart followed his feet. He wanted to help but was afraid of being scolded, and his hands stopped in the air.

The man walked over smoothly, Lin Tong heaved a sigh of relief, just as he let go of his hand, the man suddenly tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot, tripping himself up and down, kneeling on the ground with a "boom" on his knees, the men in front of him were terrified. Jump away, run away, how much life will be lost in this sudden move!

Lin Tong stepped forward to help him up.

The proprietress could only see the man's face clearly through the light in the room. Although the facial features were handsome, the complexion was dark yellow and rough, with a pair of unusual red phoenix eyes, but the pupils were very bright.Far less stunning than the back view.

She laughed secretly in her heart, this appearance is no match for the young lady in Yanming City, such a good figure is in vain!However, this ostentation, this clothing and hair accessories, must not be an ordinary person, and the oil still needs to be wiped.

She chased after her and asked, "Guest officer, do you want to have dinner now? Or wash up first?"

Lin Xiao came over to stop her inquiring eyes: "Madam proprietress, please send a bucket of hot water to the upper room first, and you can discuss with me about the food."

The woman in front of her was only eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, but she spoke calmly and domineeringly, full of heroic spirit, unquestionable.

"Okay, okay, this guest officer is not feeling well? Do you want to invite a doctor? Our town..."

The man put his hands on the handrail of the stairs, rolled his eyes, his breath was not stable, and Lin Tong gave Lin a little wink, Lin slightly stood in front of the proprietress, what else did the proprietress want to say, she lifted her black cloak, revealing The ancient silver sword hilt inlaid with rubies, the proprietress immediately fell silent.

Back in the room, the man was sitting on the bed panting heavily. Just a few steps away had already made him break out in a cold sweat, and he felt more and more unable to control his body.

Who would have thought that Lei Yan, the son of the mighty general who ruled the country, the vanguard of the Five Armies, and the commander of the Xun Ting Army, would fall into such a miserable situation.

Lin Tong closed the door: "General, how are you doing?"

"What else!?" Lei Yan stared, and was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. It took them more than half a month to travel from Tianlu City to this place. He used to ride a horse for three days to get there.

And just now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, I fell a shit!

"What would you like to eat?"

"Eat ass! I'm full!"

"Then you drink tea." Lin Tong poured a cup of tea.

"Don't drink!"

"Then you take a rest first?"

Sitting on the couch, Lei Yan didn't know what else to do. Usually, when he was angry, he would go to the school grounds to go crazy and find someone to do tricks, but now this crippled body... Damn it!

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the proprietress shouted from outside the door: "My dear guest, the hot water is ready, can I put it in the room for you?"

Lin Tong glanced at Lei Yan, the other party obviously didn't want outsiders to come in, so he replied: "Please trouble the lady boss, please leave it at the door."

The proprietress responded and left.

"I want to take a bath!" Lei Yan said angrily.

Lin Tong felt that his general had become more and more like a child when he lost his temper in the past six months since his illness.

If it wasn't for the fact that General Yu Wei was still around, he really wanted to stuff him with snacks and pat his head to comfort him.

But when he thought of Lei Yan's ruthlessness and sternness during training, he was immediately shocked by his disrespectful thoughts.

"Yes! This subordinate will prepare immediately." He moved the bathtub in and tested the water temperature, "I'll wash it for you..."

Lei Yan glared at him, raised his arm and pointed at the door: "Get lost!"

Lin Tong rolled away like a stream, and didn't dare to go far, so he waited at the door, fearing that his general would drown in the bathtub if he couldn't control it, and the joke would become a big one.

Lei Yan struggled to strip himself naked, holding on to the edge of the tub, his long, well-muscled legs had a whiteness that was completely different from his complexion, but at this moment he couldn't lift himself up and couldn't step in.

After trying for a long time, he simply put his hands on the bathtub, held his breath, and fell headfirst into it...

"General! General! What's the matter?" Lin Tong heard the movement and wanted to open the door to come in. The door coughed a few times: "It's okay!"

Lei Yan sat down in the bathtub in embarrassment, secretly cursing himself as a waste.

The slightly hot water steamed up, turning his skin into a pale powder. He slowly relaxed, and sleepiness hit him. He fell asleep after eating lunch in the carriage today. He slept until he got off the carriage just now, and now he is sleepy again. , Sleeping longer and longer every day... He was very worried in his heart, if he couldn't find someone who could heal his illness, he might fall asleep for a long time.

It was extremely cold this year, and the wind blew in through the half-closed windows, bringing the chill of autumn and the unique earthy smell of the northern countryside.

More than a hundred miles to the north is Yanming City. He is very familiar with Yanming City. It is the frontier fortress guarded by his father, the Great General Lei Ting. His father has been guarding here since he was ten years old. He will be here every year. After living there for three or four months, Yanming City is his second home for him.

Going five hundred miles north from Yanming City and passing through the tundra wasteland is the boundary of Baishan Mountain.

Baishan, the top of ten thousand mountains, the side of white clouds.It starts from the barren land of ancient times in the west, and faces the sea of ​​treacherous heroes in the east.Like a huge white screen, pointing to the sky and separating the earth.

The Baishan disciples practiced hard there, and his trip was to Baishan, maybe he could find a way to heal himself, this was his last hope.

Lei Yan closed his eyes to adjust his breath, and suddenly smelled a faint smell of snow in the smell of mud, which rushed into his nose coldly, and he suddenly woke up, his body became light, as if he had returned to normal.

How is this going?Thinking about it, he stepped out, dried himself and wrapped himself up, walked steadily to the window and pushed it open. The night sky was bright and the moon was high, and the breeze was gentle.

He looked for the source of the snow smell, and looked down to see a white-clothed man in the yard, who was paying the bill with the proprietress, putting the game in the basket on the ground.

He is dressed in white clothes, and his face cannot be seen clearly while wearing a bamboo hat.After collecting the money, he carried the basket on his back and walked out calmly. As he got further and further away, the clear smell of snow became weaker and weaker. Lei Yan found that his body was also getting heavier. He shouted urgently: "Lin Tong!"

Lin Tong rushed in and saw his master standing by the window in thin clothes: "What orders does the general have?"

Lei Yan pointed at the window, suddenly felt that his tongue was about to lose control, and said vaguely: "The man in white! Chase!"

Lin Tong led his men to chase after him, and returned half an hour later to report. He searched the whole town and found no white-clothed men.The proprietress was invited up for questioning.

"He, he is a hunter in the mountains. He comes here every now and then to give us some game. His name? I don't know. I asked him and he didn't say... Are you looking for him? Then you have to go quickly! It's cold early this year. The mountain will be closed in a few days, because the monsters in the mountains will come out in winter, fortunately the national teacher has put down the enchantment, otherwise we ordinary people will all be caught and eaten by the monsters."
