Although she was facing two men, the girl in Tsing Yi didn't feel shy at all, she clasped her fists and asked generously, "You two people who don't look like Yuncheng, where did you come from?"

Mu Zhiming smiled and cupped his fists in return: "I have traveled from the north to this point."

"North?" The girl in Tsing Yi looked at the two of them, and when her gaze shifted from Mu Zhiming to Gu Heyan's face, she saw that he was wearing a half-faced black mask, and the girl's eyes became suspicious.

Gu Heyan lowered his head and stood behind Mu Zhiming.

"Girl, I don't know what is said about the 'Tomb of the Heroic Soul'?" Mu Zhiming asked politely, attracting his attention.

The girl in Tsing Yi withdrew her gaze, stroked the stone tablet, and murmured: "Four years ago, Zhao Guo sent [-] troops to attack the southwestern border of Dajin. The border generals retreated steadily. Finally, Yuncheng was besieged by the enemy. The King of Shu County led the remnant soldiers to defend the town for a hundred days, almost to the point of running out of food, but fortunately..." For some reason, the girl in Tsing Yi hesitated to speak, "In short, after this battle, the soldiers under the King of Shu County Almost all of them died in battle, and the king of Shu County erected a monument here to commemorate them."

Mu Zhiming was surprised: "I have never heard of such a tragic battle."

"It turns out that you have never heard of it." The girl in Tsing Yi sneered, she took a jug of spirits from the horse beside her, pulled out the cork, and sprinkled it near the stone tablet. , not because of the enemy's sword, but because of the sinister heart, and afterward, those stingy people still have to whitewash the peace and cover everything up."

When she said "you come from it", she was already gnashing her teeth, and she was even more indignant when she said the following paragraph, which made Mu Zhiming dare not ask more questions.

The girl in Tsing Yi finished pouring out the wine in the jug, and said flatly: "I said a few more words, I'm sorry."

"The girl is a person with a bold temperament." Mu Zhiming praised.

The girl in Tsing Yi got on her horse and tightened the reins: "I won't bother you two anymore, see you later." After saying that, she steered the horse and galloped towards Yuncheng, and left in the dust.

Passers-by are in a hurry, leaving a few words for conversation.

Mu Zhiming looked up at the solemn and silent stone tablet at dusk, and the autumn wind lifted his sleeves, gilded with light gold: "He Yan, in fact, when I traveled around the rivers and lakes in my previous life, I heard about Zhao Kingdom's attack on the southwestern border."

Gu Heyan looked at him.

Mu Zhiming sighed deeply: "The casualties in this battle were heavy. The [-] soldiers of the Jin Dynasty were all dead. When the King of Shu County was in despair, he was even ready to die in the city. But what is really deplorable is that The king of Shu County asked the Central Plains for reinforcements, but no one responded."

"Back then, the Lingnan Jiedu Envoys, Huainan Jiedu Envoys, and Jingzhou Jiedu Envoys all received battle reports pleading for support, but because they were afraid of the relationship between the emperor and the king of Shu County, they were unwilling to send troops to support them. Later, the battle reports spread to the capital, and the emperor really Turn a blind eye to the fact that no one supports the southwestern border."

"Actually, the emperor just wants to send troops to the southwestern border to quell the war after the death of the King of Shu County."

"In the end, the battle ended with Zhao Kingdom's sudden withdrawal of troops, and the king of Shu County narrowly defended Yuncheng."

Liquor all over the floor, seeped into the soil to find the dead bones of the year, Mu Zhiming said in an unbearable tone: "The despair and tragedy of Yuncheng when it was besieged by the enemy is unknown, only this stone tablet is left, and I can't talk about it, and I can't talk about right and wrong."

Gu Heyan never talked about the ruler's heart, he said softly: "It's windy, it's cold, let's go back."

"Okay." Mu Zhiming smiled at Gu Heyan.

The two returned to Yuncheng, rested at the inn for one night, met Daniu Erniu at the city gate at Chenshi the next day, and set off for Dulongling.

Dulong Ridge is really full of miasma and mosquito swamps, walking all the way, it is hot and humid, there are many tall trees, and there are many moss and mud, Daniel said: "Now it is early winter, it is already considered good, if it is midsummer, no one wants to enter Dulong Ridge .”

The four of them rode horses for half a day, passing through a camphor wood forest, and suddenly saw several towering wooden villages, those villages were painted with purple and black paint, painted with strange patterns, and the wooden villages were surrounded by two-person high wooden walls, From the outside, only the steeple of Muzhai can be seen.

Before people get close, they can smell the strong smell of sulfur herbs and the faint smell of dried animal fur.

Thousand Poisons Valley is famous for selling poisons, and many people from all walks of life come here to find all kinds of strange poisons.

Da Niu clasped his fists: "Masters, this is the camp of Thousand Poison Valley, we will not follow in, and wait for you at the tea shed in front of the village. After you come out, we will take you back to Yuncheng."

"Thank you, thank you." Mu Zhiming smiled and bowed.

You cannot ride a horse into the stockade, so Mu Zhiming and Gu Heyan left the horses at the tea shed and entered on foot.

After the two entered the village, a man in his twenties, wearing a silver-purple robe and silver rings around his neck, wrists and ankles, walked up to them.

The man asked, "What kind of poison do you two want to buy?"

Mu Zhiming said: "We are not here to buy drugs."

"Aren't you here to buy drugs?" The man looked at the two of them.

Just as Mu Zhiming wanted to explain, the man suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment: "I understand, you two please follow me."

Mu Zhiming and Gu Heyan looked at each other, and followed the man's footsteps.

The man led them into a stilted building. On the first floor of the stilted building, there were ten rows of medicine cabinets about the height of three people. Each medicine cabinet was composed of neat small drawers. Densely dense, really shocking.

The man didn't stop here and went straight to the second floor.

Climbing up the creaking wooden ladder, a purple cloth curtain of the same height was hung in front of the bamboo and wood door on the second floor. As soon as the man lifted the curtain, a strong and choking aroma rushed to his face.

The first floor of this stilted building is very high, but the second floor is very short. Gu Heyan is eight feet long, standing there straight, he can touch the top with his hand. The second floor is not only not high, but also very narrow, except for an old yellow wooden counter, There is only one bamboo and wood table and two bamboo and wood chairs, one on the left and one on the right.

The man pointed to the two bamboo chairs: "Sit down."

Mu Zhiming felt that something was wrong, and said, "This brother..."

"Don't talk, sit down." The man interrupted him, "I understand, I understand everything."

Mu Zhiming: "..."

No, brother, you know everything you know!

Mu Zhiming had no choice but to sit down with Gu Heyan.

After the man walked to the counter, he took out a bunch of small silver keys from his waist, opened the drawer behind the counter, took out a few things from it, walked up to the two of them, and put the things in his hands on the table one by one: "Incense, pills, and ointments are all available. Take a look, which one do you want?"

Mu Zhiming looked confused: "Excuse me, what are these things?"

"Ah? Are you pretending to be stupid? It's not necessary." The man folded his arms around his chest.

"No, I really don't understand." Mu Zhiming smiled apologetically, "Please answer your questions."

"Ah? I really don't understand? But the two of you came to Thousand Poisons Valley not to buy poison, isn't that what you came for? That's fine, let me introduce you." The man cleared his throat and said in a melodious voice: "Thousand Poison Valley's special aphrodisiac powder, an exclusive secret recipe, unique, eat a pill, smoke a handful, wipe it off and you will not be fascinated! Know! Tired! Indulge in lust all night! Tired! Tired!"

Gu Heyan: "..."

Mu Zhiming: "..."
