Shen Xiao looked at Qin Nian, his eyes full of research.
He didn't know why, but he always felt that the little girl in front of him was a little special. He observed her carefully, but couldn't find out what was special about her.
But Shen Xiao believed in his sixth sense and determined that Qin Nian was definitely not an ordinary girl.
After dinner, the young people were reluctant to go to bed.
A small fire was built in the yard, and some green grass was put on the fire. Green smoke rose above the yard, and the mosquitoes were smoked away.
Shen Xiao's apprentices, one named Zhang Long and the other named Li Gan, were both twenty years old. They were not the shy type of young people, but were very lively and talkative.
A few young people sat in the yard, chatting for a long time under the starry sky.
It was past midnight before I had to go into the house and go to bed.
Lin Tiancheng slept on the bed, while Shen Xiao, his two apprentices, and Su Bi slept on the kang.
Qin Nian slept alone in another room.
This room is exactly the same as Su Bi's, with a kang and a bed.
Qin Nian chose the bed, locked the door, and entered the space.
Mrs. Li had already taken a nap. When she saw Qin Nian coming in, she hurriedly asked where she and Su Bi had gone.
When Mrs. Li heard from Qin Nian that Lin Tiancheng was not dead and they had found him, she was also very happy.
He kept chanting Buddha's name.
It was getting late, so the grandparents went to bed.
The next day, several people searched along the cliff for a long time, but still did not see Princess Lanling.
Shen Xiao said: “The woman was shaken off the cliff, so her injuries must not be serious.
She grabbed the vines on the cliff and slowly climbed up. "
The group returned to the thatched hut.
When another dawn came, Lin Tiancheng was about to leave with Su Bi and Qin Nian.
Several young people have become friends long ago.
Zhang Long and Li Gan were very reluctant to leave, and repeatedly reminded Su Bi and Qin Nian to come here on their way back after finishing their work.
When they come again, several people will go hunting in the forest together.
Zhang Long said that there was a spring in the forest, and by the water there were butterflies as big as small basins, with colorful wings that were pleasing to the eye.
There are also mountain flowers of various colors, but I don’t know what they are called.
Su Bi saw Qin Nian's eyes shining and knew that she was interested in this. He promised to come and see them on his way back.
Lin Tiancheng rarely became serious, and saluted Shen Xiao with his fists clasped:
"Brother Shen, I will always remember your life-saving grace. If you need me in the future, just ask."
Shen Xiao returned the favor: "It's just a small favor, Brother Lin, don't worry about it."
Lin Tiancheng nodded slightly: "The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will meet again in the future."
"See you later."
Without the restraint of searching, the three people in front quickly disappeared from the sight of the three people behind.
"Xiao Nian, what are you thinking about?"
Su Bi looked at the silent Qin Nian and asked.
"I was thinking, Princess Lanling is so jealous, after she stabbed Senior Sister Chen to death, would Senior Sister Guo also be killed by her?
There are also her six senior brothers on the mountain. Even if she wants to get married, she can only marry one of them.
Could it be that the remaining few were not allowed to marry or have children? If someone married, would Princess Lanling stab him to death?
Doesn't that mean the Lanling Sect is finished?"
Lin Tiancheng said: “Any sect, as long as it is related to the imperial court, will have the same ending.
Even if they are not killed by their own people, they will definitely be killed by the imperial court in the end.
What’s more, the Lanling Sect’s leader is so foolish and studies and uses poisons, so he can’t last long.”
Walking out of the valley and coming to the intersection where the two horses were released, Su Bi said:
"Master, we wanted to go to the border before, but something went wrong and we were delayed for so long.
Are we still going to the border now?"
Lin Tiancheng's eyes widened: "Of course I'll go, maybe I can help."
"Let's go to the border."
Qin Nian took over the conversation: "When I left Dawa Village, Aunt Geng told me to look for Geng Feng at the border.
If you find him, let him go home. His family misses him very much."
"Geng Feng is a good boy. Let's go to Quguan."
The three men rushed to Quguan first.
On the road, refugees were seen everywhere. After asking them, I learned that the war situation at the border was tense.
King Xuan brought a large army to the border to guard the city. The Wujin Kingdom attacked many times, lost a large number of soldiers and horses, and returned empty-handed.
But Daliang also lost a lot of soldiers. After King Xuan arrived at the border, he began to recruit soldiers.
Some young men with blood in their veins refused to become fugitives and simply joined the army to defend their country.
Two days later, the three of them arrived at Quguan. The inspection for entering the city was extremely strict, but fortunately, the three of them were well prepared and had no trouble entering the city.
Before, when Lin Tiancheng and Su Bi came out, they brought a lot of silver bills.
Lin Tiancheng was rescued by Shen Xiao and his clothes were changed.
When he was able to speak again, Shen Xiao handed him the banknote, saying that it fell out of his torn clothes pocket.
Lin Tiancheng wanted to leave the banknote to Shen Xiao, but then he thought that Shen Xiao was the same person as him.
People like them don't need to be thanked in this way.
He took the banknote.
After entering Quguan, he took out a silver note, found a money shop, and exchanged it for a large amount of silver.
Lin Tiancheng thought the silver was too heavy, so he wrapped it in a bundle and asked Su Bi to carry it.
Su Bi smiled and accepted.
Some shops in the city have closed down, but fortunately there are still some that are still open.
We found a pub on the street and went in to eat. There were quite a lot of people in the pub, all talking about the war.
A drunk man cursed loudly: "Damn it, the emperor of Wujin Kingdom is not a human being, but a beast.
We are living a good life, but they come to invade us.
He hid in the palace, living a life of luxury, and the bodies of different women were his territory.
He never tired of inspecting this and that, and none of his children or grandchildren were injured or killed.
But thousands of ordinary families were ruined by his greedy decisions, causing too many parents to lose their children.”
Another man echoed:
“If they really destroyed our Daliang State, the people who would divide up the land, enfeoff the princes, and distribute the gold, silver, treasures, and slaves would be the high officials hiding in the capital.
The soldiers who charged into battle and shed blood and sacrificed their lives would at most receive a few words of praise, but their parents and relatives would have to suffer for the rest of their lives.
There is no way, it has been like this throughout the dynasties."
Qin Nian sighed. Although these two drunk men looked vulgar, their words were true.
This is indeed the case.
The fat tavern owner came over with a festive smile on her face.
After ordering three dishes, Qin Nian asked the proprietress about Geng Feng.
The proprietress was not a perfunctory person. After listening to Qin Nian's description carefully, she shook her head slightly:
"I have a good memory. I have never seen this person. But I will keep an eye out for you in the future."
Qin Nian said: "If you see him, tell him that his parents asked him to go home.
Also, his cousin is already married."
