The phoenix pattern is surging

[Xiping border city Juliang]

The three were trapped in Juliang City and were discussing how to leave the city.

The monkey cub was also at ease, nibbling melon seeds intermittently, while Qu Lie lowered his eyes in deep thought, frowning slightly.

Li Ran got up and walked around the room for a while, and was the last one to stand still, and asked, "Are we here to sell drugs?"

"Exactly, why do you ask that?"

Qu Liemu was puzzled, Li Ran rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a while, approached and whispered to him, the other party nodded while listening, thought for a while and said: "You can try."

After finishing speaking, he waved to Monkey Boy and said, "Come here, I have something for you to do."

The monkey cub was overjoyed, he leaned over anxiously, and said, "What your old man ordered, I will definitely do it properly."

Qu Lie coughed in a deep voice, let him listen with his ears, and whispered a few words, the monkey boy listened, he laughed slyly, and said: "I'm doing things, you just put your heart on it."

The other party only glanced at him lightly, and the monkey boy smiled and touched the back of his head, knowing that this is not a good time to offer treasures, so he hurriedly answered yes, and immediately disappeared.

About half an hour later, the boy came back with an excited face. At that time, rumors spread in the city, saying that there was a plague attack, and it was clear how many people or pigs died in anyone's house, which made people in the city very angry. The people were all panicked.

After hearing the news, Li Ran's face darkened, and he asked half-shocked and half-surprised: "What did you do?"

"What else can you do, isn't it just to follow the master's orders?"

Qu Lie rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Although it's wrong, it's still right."

As soon as he said this, the monkey cub smiled and said: "I have collected a lot of things, and they are all entrusted to people. I will definitely not be able to find out for a while."

In this way, the three of them made some plans again, but they didn't realize that it was noon, so they went downstairs to have dinner together.

Going to the first floor, the three of them picked a seat by the window and sat down.

While placing the order, the good-for-nothing short shopkeeper complained in a low voice: "This year is really a disaster. Sometimes there will be chaos, and there will be plagues all over the place. I don't know when it will end."

Seeing his bitter face, Li Ran joked with a smile: "When you came here to collect the house money this morning, didn't you see you worrying about the country and the people so much?"

Hearing what he said was interesting, the shopkeeper smiled cheerfully, and said: "The customer really knows how to joke, it's just a small business, and it's just a meal."

After he finished speaking, he saw Qu Lie put down the teacup in his hand, and asked with a serious face, "What happened?"

Asked like this, there was a hint of worry in his expression.

Li Ran was stroking his forehead and laughing secretly, but he heard the skinny shopkeeper whisper, "I heard that there is a plague in the city, the three of you must not go out these few days, so as not to get into trouble with that thing."

Just as he was talking, he heard a person at the next table sigh: "Nowadays the plague is everywhere, and I don't know when I will be able to leave the city?"

"Hey... the court's plan to arrest spies is not the way to do it. We have been tormenting us poor white men. What's more, after searching for several days, we can't even find a person. He must have run away early. How can we wait to be caught? "

After he finished speaking, he heard the other person clasped his fists and coughed, and warned with some trepidation: "Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs!"

As soon as he said this, the complaining person looked around guardedly, lest the spies sent by the imperial court might overhear what he said just now. Seeing that there were ordinary people all around, he seemed to be relieved. He said in a low voice, "Talk something to the two of you, but don't let it out."

"Yes Yes!"

"No rumors! No rumors!"

"I have a relative of my own family who works in the palace. He leaked some inside information to me and said that it is quite famous."

"Could it be...it's not as simple as being a spy?"

"Hey, what kind of spies are they? They are actually from the palace..." At this point, the slobbery guy rolled his eyes and shot around, then waved at the two of them, motioning them to listen. .

After a while, I saw the two people nodding their heads "suddenly realized", and one of them sighed, "No wonder it was spread so vividly a while ago, I thought it was just a rumor on the street, but it turned out to be true."

"Hey, hey, what does that person look like? But there is the one from Yihong Pavilion... ah..."

"Hehe, my relatives have seen it too, saying that ours once used four words to describe this person."

"Oh? Which four words?"

"Peak the world!"

"Ahem, Brother Sun, isn't he bluffing us again?"

"Yes, are you bluffing again?"

"How can it be? Otherwise, how could that... ah..."

"It makes sense, that palace is indeed not something that just anyone can enter."

"Also... I heard that even... was made... It's a pity..."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! I have heard about this too, not to mention the thousand grains of Lanhu emerald jade beads, the gold threads on them are thicker than your and my arms."

As soon as this remark came out, the other two gasped in admiration, and one of them shook his fan and sighed: "If you're not the one with the best heart, how can you take such painstaking efforts?"

"Hey... what do you think that person looks like? He actually fascinated our... ah... I heard that since I got this person, that person has been with me every day, and never falls. Tsk tsk, it's amazing, amazing To the extreme!"

"Hehe, I'm afraid you and I will never see each other in this life. That's the person on the top of the mountain."

Li Ran listened to the conversation of the three people at the next table, and the blue veins on his forehead twitched thrillingly. Seeing that the monkey was holding back his laughter, he couldn't help but reach out and hit him on the head. The monkey hurriedly hugged him The head begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I just don't laugh."

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help snickering again, but the old man with long beard coughed lightly and said seriously: "Don't talk about state affairs! Don't talk about state affairs!"

It just so happened that the three people next door were discussing the emperor's "Happiness in the Boudoir" like thieves, and the monkey boy listened for a while, and one of them couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing, causing the three people at the next table to look at them in unison. There is a lot of unhappiness in the room, and it seems to be disturbed.

Qu Lie hurriedly bowed his hands to the three of them to express his apology, and then glanced at the person who caused the trouble in a warning manner. Li Ran rubbed his brows and eyes, took another sip of tea to stabilize his mind, and gave Qu Lie a normal look. Then I bowed my head to eat and didn't listen any more, but I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Early the next morning, due to the outbreak of the "epidemic", the military camps outside the city feared that it would spread to the soldiers, so they sent officers and soldiers to the city to search for Romanbena to prevent the epidemic, but they only bought a small amount. many.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly, and three carriages were seen coming from a distance.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city stopped the three of them and asked them to show the clearance token, but they saw the old man coughing in a deep voice, and said: "This old man is from the family of Qingyuan. Send medicine for emergency."

Hearing this, the little officer felt that the matter was serious, so he immediately reported to his superiors, but the city gate officer didn't dare to make a decision, so he had to send Kuaiqi to the barracks outside the city to report.

After about a stick of incense, there were waves of hoofbeats approaching, the leader with a bearded face simply let it go, and the door was opened, and the three of them drove the carriage through.

After driving all the way to the military camp outside the city, after unloading three carts full of medicinal herbs, a young sergeant came forward and said that the marshal had invited "Doctor Xu".

Qu Lie followed the soldier, while Li Ran and Hou Zaizi stayed in the car and waited.

After about a stick of incense, a strong man came over, took out a scroll from his sleeve, compared the two of them to look up and down, and finally pointed to Li Ran, said: "You! Take it off!"

As soon as this remark was said, even the monkey cub was taken aback for a moment, and was about to refute, but Li Ran quickly pressed him into his arms, and heard the other party teasingly said: "It's just taking off your clothes, why are you nervous? have not seen?"

After he finished speaking, everyone laughed, but the bearded captain smiled and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "It seems that the young lady is shy."

In the army, there is no taboo of meat and fish. Li Ran knew very well that the three of them would not be able to escape if this was not the case. With a forced laugh, he stretched out his hand and unbuttoned his jacket one by one, but his vest was already breaking out in cold sweat.

Although this Sergeant Xiping looked thick, his mind was rather delicate. He looked him up and down while looking at the scroll, and finally cast his gaze on his lower abdomen, his expression was quite sharp.

Fortunately, there is no difference.

In this way, the other party didn't give up, and made a gesture to reach out to touch it, but saw the little lady's face flushed, and she opened his rough palm with a snap, stared at him with half resentment and half annoyance, and complained: "You This old man, what is not easy to do, why do you want to touch someone's husband without saying a word?"

After finishing speaking, he immediately buttoned Li Ran's clothes one by one, with a shy and wronged look on his face. There was already whistles and uproars behind him, but he saw the brash man laughing after a moment of stupefaction, and said: "Little lady How about eating the old man's jealousy?"

"Hmph! How does my servant know that you are a foodie of floods and droughts?"

This is really embarrassing. Ordinary people still don't understand it. Li Ran only guessed some of it when he saw the ambiguous expressions of the people opposite him.

"Haha! Not bad! Not bad! This little lady is really delicious! Brother, you are very lucky!"

The other party patted him on the shoulder, and he frowned slightly in embarrassment, thinking to himself that if this kid was really his wife, he would rather shoot himself.

But it was really thrilling just now, and now thinking about it, I feel a little terrified.

Thinking of this, he lowered his eyes subconsciously and glanced at his lower abdomen. The taste was so complicated that he couldn't tell it apart for a while.

When Qu Lie came out of Shuaiying, half an hour had passed. When he saw the two of them, he just smiled and expressed, which made Li Ran and Hou Zaizi happy.

The three made such a contribution, Qu Lie didn't know what he said to that Marshal Xiping, and was let go for the first time.

In this way, the three of them did not delay any longer, raised their horsewhip, and finally left the Xiping Pass without any risk, and then took the risk and rushed to the border city of Liuguo leading to Danfeng.

At the same time, Li Zixin's army was also attacking all the way to the south, and with such momentum, they soon captured one-third of Danfeng's territory.

This night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, when the three of them drove to Xinglin City, it was already [-]:[-] in the evening, and all the silver taels on the three of them had been used to buy medicines, and now they were penniless, so they had to find a poor family to borrow , waiting to continue on the road tomorrow morning.

Because they were in the enemy's country, the three of them walked all the way in fear. They were already exhausted, so they ate something and rested.

In the middle of the night, the night was very quiet, Li Ran was awakened by a light noise, a stinger woke up, and saw Qu Lie was standing by the window looking out, while Monkey Cub was asleep.

He got up and put on his clothes, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard a sound of breaking through the air, and a dozen torches fell down in unison.

What?

How could someone set fire to the city gate?

He subconsciously wanted to push the door and go out, but when Fang took a step, Qu Lie grabbed his wrist, but seeing the other party shaking his head at him solemnly, he said, "This fire can't be put out, let's go quickly."

"Wait! Take advantage of the fire and see if anyone is still asleep?"

He persisted, Qu Lie was stunned by the look, sighed secretly, kicked the door and rushed out, he immediately followed, kicked the lying on the ground sleeping deader than a pig when he was about to go out The monkey cub said in a deep voice, "Get up! I'm eating roast pig!"

The monkey cub hadn't eaten any meat for the past few days, and his mouth was already full of greed. When he was sleepy, he was kicked awake by someone, and he heard that he was going to eat roast pig. A carp sat up straight from the ground, like a monkey. Glancing around, he hurriedly asked, "Where is the roast pig? Where is it?"

But he heard the person in front of him laugh in a deep voice, and the other person said without looking back: "If you don't want to become a roast pig, just follow!"

When the three of them broke into the opposite room, they saw that the family was fast asleep, and when they heard the kicking of the door, they woke up in shock.

Outside, it was already full of flames.

The man was still calm, but the woman looked at the situation outside, hugged the child and began to sob together, Li Ran strode over, stretched out his arms to hug the child, shouted to go, and walked out the door with a few strides, the monkey boy lagged behind, Almost accidentally, he roasted himself into a suckling pig.

Looking out of the courtyard gate, the entire Xinglin City was already a sea of ​​flames soaring to the sky.

In the alley, dead bodies were everywhere; on the street, the houses were completely destroyed, and the plaques and banners fell to the ground; the screams of women and children were heard endlessly, accompanied by the clanking of weapons and armor, covering the entire Xinglin City in a bloody storm .

The five of them brought a child through the streets and alleys, carefully avoiding Danfeng's remnant army along the road, and rushed towards the city gate.

At three o'clock, when the heavy iron gate was smashed open with a bang, accompanied by the roar of weapons and iron armor and the sound of horseshoes, a man in silver and white armor rushed in with a sword in hand.

Li Ran hid in the dark, and when he took a closer look, his eyes couldn't help but brighten up.
