After a day and a night, I finally arrived at the boundary of Qishan Mountain the next morning.

Luo Chen opened the window and glanced out the window, the foot of the mountain is lush and green, but it has a different flavor from the mountain!

"Ning Gong has ever been here?"

Luo Chen turned his head to look at Ning Xuanchen, he didn't know Bai Ming's residence yet, if he didn't even know Ning Xuanchen, it would be troublesome!

"Haha! Once here, the old guy built a small cabin in the mountains, and lived a leisurely life alone! ”

Ning Xuanchen laughed, stroked his beard, and kept looking out the window.

"Living in the mountains?"

Luo Chen's face was surprised, he thought he lived in the village under the mountain, but he didn't expect it to be in the mountain, there are countless poisonous snakes and beasts on this mountain, where can people live?

"yes!" Ning Xuanchen laughed: "You'll know when you go up, speaking of which, the last time I came here was more than ten years ago, and after a long time, I really can't find a way into the mountain!" ”

Luo Chen nodded slightly: "In that case, let's go find a nearby villager to take us up!" ”

With that, the three of them walked towards a nearby village.

"Uncle, we are from the north, I want to ask, how to go to this mountain?" As soon as I walked into a village, I saw several elderly people sitting at the entrance of the village.

"Haha! This, ask the village head of the fifth child, that kid has to go to the mountains every once in a while! An old man said, pointing to a spacious earthen house.

Luo Chen nodded slightly and looked at Zhang Sanfeng: "Elder Zhang, go and take a look!" ”

Zhang Sanfeng nodded, Luo Chen and Ning Xuanchen waited in front of the door, and it didn't take long for Zhang Sanfeng and a young man with a stubble on his face to come out.

"This is my son-in-law!"

Luo Chen looked at the young man, there were several scars on the back of his hands, his skin was tanned, and there was a thick layer of calluses on his hands, he should be a hunter. ”

"Your name is the fifth child?"

The man saw that Luo Chen was gorgeously dressed and had an extraordinary bearing, so he nodded again and again: "My family Chen Lao Wu, I don't know what the prince has to order?" ”

"Huh!" Luo Chen smiled gently: "You don't have to be nervous, we want to ask you for some help!" ”

"Son, please speak! As long as I can help, I will never shirk! Chen Lao Wu said with an oath.

"Hmmm! We want to take a trip into the mountains, so I would like you to ask you to take us up! Luo Chen took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it over.

"No problem, don't worry, Gongzi, this area of Qishan! There's nothing more familiar than me! Chen Lao Wu looked at the silver ingot, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Luo Chen nodded slightly: "Go back and prepare, let's set off as soon as possible!" ”

……

The mountain road is rugged, and it is surrounded by trees, which almost completely obscure the light, and it looks eerie.

In addition, Ning Xuanchen was old and old, so they didn't walk fast!

"Old Five, do you know that there are people living on the mountain?" Luo Chen hugged Ning Xuanchen and asked casually.

"Residence?" Lao Wu's eyes suddenly widened, he was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "There are fierce beasts on this mountain, there are many dangers, who will live in this mountain, it is simply looking for death!" ”

"Especially at night, when wolves are around."

A trace of fear flashed on Lao Wu's face: "Childe, I don't know what happened to you going up the mountain?" Is it to look for herbs or ......"

"We're here to find someone!"

……

On the other side, the Great Xia border, the Valley of the Underworld.

"Finally out of Great Xia, this trip is over!"

The convoy stopped on the side of the road to rest, Jin An stepped out of the carriage and said to a crony next to him.

"My lord, after you go back, I'm afraid you will inevitably be punished......"

Jin An suddenly turned his head and glared at him: "What nonsense?" ”

The man sighed lightly: "His Royal Highness King Liang has repeatedly thrown an olive branch to you, but you have ignored it, I am afraid that you have offended him!" ”

Jin An smiled indifferently: "King Liang is narrow-minded, brave and unstrategic, he can't achieve great things, if he is offended, how can he bear me?" ”

"Old man, I should return to my hometown in a few years, and when the time comes, I will be happy to plant a few acres of land!" The old man snorted, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.

"It's just that Your Majesty's plan is probably going to fail, and Great Xia is not what we provoked at the moment!" A hint of gloom flashed in Jin An's eyes.

"My lord, is it possible that Great Xia can still fight with Nanban and me Donglai on both fronts at the same time?" The young man frowned slightly, and asked with a puzzled expression.

"Nanban, it is not weak, and even, the national strength can completely defeat Great Xia!" Jin An's face was dark, and he said: "However, the Southern Barbarians are all cavalry, and they are not good at siege!" ”

"In addition, the terrain is dangerous, even if so, Nanban will really not be able to attack it for a while and a half!"

The young man spoke again: "However, with Nanban dragging the main force of Great Xia, it shouldn't be difficult for me to take advantage of the situation to move west, right?" ”

Jin An shook his head and smiled: "Where is it as simple as you imagined!" You underestimate the essence of Great Xia! ”

"Back then, the 200,000 soldiers of Great Qin were fled by tens of thousands of people in Great Xia, not to mention the growing national strength now!"

"What?" The young man's face was suddenly shocked: "Great Qin has also fought with Great Xia?" ”

Jin An shook his head slightly, and a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes: "Great Qin has been at war with Northern Cangxi Chu for so many years, and put pressure on Great Zhou, but why don't you move troops against Great Xia?" ”

The young man's face was stunned: "Yes! Great Qin's desire to expand north is a desert, not to mention, Beicang's national strength is much stronger than that of Great Xia, why didn't Great Qin annex Xia? ”

"That's because Great Qin is jealous of a person in Great Xia, a god-like person!"

Lu Wushuang's face was suddenly sluggish, Da Qin didn't dare to use troops against Great Xia because he was afraid of one person?

You must know that Great Qin is a well-deserved overlord of the Central Plains, with millions of soldiers!

"Who is that man?" Lu Wushuang couldn't help but ask.

A trace of remembrance flashed in Jin An's eyes: "He is not above the court, but his prestige has spread to the Central Plains, his name is Bai Ming!" ”

"Bai Ming?"

Lu Wushuang suddenly frowned slightly, since this person is so good, why has he never heard of it?

"Haha!" Seeing Lu Wushuang's puzzled face, Jin An laughed: "Of course you haven't heard of it, it was a man of the year more than forty years ago!" ”

"More than forty years ago?" Lu Wushuang's face was stunned: "Then how old should you be now?" ”

"Probably in his early eighties! It's been a long time since I've heard from him, and I don't know if he's dead! ”

Lu Wushuang was shocked again, after so many years, he still talks about tiger color change because of an eighty-year-old man?

Jin An smiled: "He is a living legend......"

"Then your Excellency will go back this time?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Wushuang's mind!

"This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, it won't be long before it will be my Donglai's catastrophe!"

A trace of surprise flashed in Jin An's eyes, thinking of that mysterious young man, his heart became more and more fearful, he was even more terrifying than the current Xia Emperor!

"Therefore, this opportunity cannot be missed, but I Donglai must not act rashly!"

Just as he was about to continue, suddenly a cold light came quickly, Lu Wushuang's face changed, he waved his hand, and a dagger appeared in his hand, knocking down the flying hidden weapon!

"There are assassins!"

Lu Wushuang saw five black-clothed people coming from the jungle on the side from a distance, and hurriedly shouted.

Jin An's face was stunned, this is for himself!

"Is it ......?"
