"That's better than Tingzhou?" Li Hao glared at the words and exclaimed, "When you came in, did you see the dilapidated city wall, is it called the city wall, how high is it, it's not me blowing with you, my special forces don't need any tools on this kind of city wall, and ah, the city wall is actually earth, earth wall, do you know when I still saw the earth wall, that was when I was a child when I peed and played with mud, I piled up an earthen wall, I saw the earthen wall at that time, after more than 30 years, I actually saw the earthen wall again......

"More than thirty years?" Lu Yun looked at him with a puzzled expression, "But you are only eighteen years old this year." ”

"I can't exaggerate!" Li Hao glared at him fiercely and said, "Please grasp the point, you tell me, is the city wall of Tingzhou not as good as the city wall of Xizhou?" ”

Lu Yun thought hard and said in an uncertain tone: "It should ...... Pretty much. ”

"What do you mean by should?" Li Hao was a little crazy, to be honest, when he saw the city wall of Xizhou, he really wanted to complain, but at that time, all the officials in Xizhou were there, he could only choose to keep his mouth shut, and now he heard that Tingzhou was not as good as Xizhou, he really couldn't help it.

Li Hao gushed endlessly: "Tingzhou is located between Gaochang and the Western Turks, one of these two is a tiger and the other is a wolf, and they have long wanted to swallow Tingzhou in one bite, but now you tell me that the city wall of Tingzhou is not as good as the city wall of Xizhou, so if these two countries come to attack, how can I defend it, and also, is Tingzhou smaller than Xizhou, what is the population, how many people are in Tingzhou......"

Lu Yun obviously felt that Li Hao was in a very uneasy state, even when he followed Li Hao every day, he felt that he was becoming more and more unable to see through Li Hao now, obviously ten days ago, Li Hao also ruthlessly killed Gao Chang's 1,500 army, like a cold-blooded general who had been on the battlefield for a long time, but now he has become a coward who is extremely afraid of death.

"Young Master, calm down."

"How do I calm down? How else can I be calm......" Li Hao wailed, sat down with a sad face, and said depressedly, "I shouldn't let these four stupid women come with me, can they come to such a dangerous place, how good is it to hide at home and be lazy......"

Lu Yun's expression darkened when he heard this, Li Hao was worried about his four women, and also, if everything was fine, if Gaochang or the Western Turks attacked Tingzhou, then these four women would probably be in danger. Although Li Hao is cold to the enemy, he is warm to his family, although only one of these four women is Turandot is his legal wife, but everyone in the Li Mansion knows that Qin Su and the Persian sisters are Li Hao's women, and Li Hao also cherishes them very much.

Now Lu Yun finally knows that Li Hao is not just as simple as cherishing them, these four women are very important in his heart, thinking of this, he can only comfort: "Young master, we haven't arrived in Tingzhou yet, everything is not known yet, don't be impatient first, Tingzhou has been established for ten years, and everything has been safe, how can it be that you will be in danger as soon as you take office." ”

This is still very effective, Li Hao smacked his lips and nodded helplessly: "I hope you are right, it is best to be safe, otherwise I will not finish with you, don't forget, you tricked me into going to Tingzhou." ”

Lu Yun smiled bitterly and nodded: "Yes, I am to blame for all this, even if I fight for my life, I will protect you and the four ladies." ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, don't talk nonsense." Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Madame only has one Turandot, and I haven't touched the other three." ”

In fact, he has never touched Turandot, the key is that Lu Yun is Turandot's uncle, he can't let Lu Yun know that he hasn't slept with Turandot either, otherwise it will be embarrassing.

Speaking of this, Li Hao suddenly remembered and asked, "Lu Yun, didn't you say that Turandot's master was buried in Xizhou, it's just past noon, why don't we go and pay respects." ”

"Okay." Lu Yun was moved when he heard this, and asked, "Just the two of us?" ”

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "Take Turandot with you, after all, that's her master, huh...... My special forces also take it with me, I don't know why lately, I'm always restless, and I have a very bad feeling. ”

"What does it feel?"

"I can't tell." Li Hao said, "Let Li Yuanzhong take Gu Lina, Elena and Qin Su to the right guard camp first, now I don't feel at ease with the post house, twenty-eight special forces and Jin Li and the six of them will go with us, and Turandot, that's all." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." After Lu Yun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.

After a while, Lu Yun came to report, saying that everything had been arranged, Li Hao walked out of the post house, first took everyone to the right Xiaowei military camp outside the city, leaving Li Yuanzhong, Qin Su and the four Persian sisters, and then left the military camp with sacrificial tribute to sweep the tomb of Turandot's master.

As soon as he got out of the barracks, Li Hao asked, "Lu Yun, where is your junior sister buried?" ”

Lu Yun pointed to the low red mountain range not far away and said, "It's in the Flame Mountain." ”

Li Haohu's body was shocked, his face changed several times, and he suddenly said: "Otherwise, let's not go, you have to go yourself." ”

Lu Yun's expression suddenly became so exciting, this thing actually retreated again, Turandot suddenly drove forward when he heard this, stretched out his hand to pinch Li Hao's ear, and said sharply: "What do you say, you say it again!" That's my master! ”

"It hurts, it hurts, let go! Let go! Li Hao stretched his neck in pain, he thought that Turandot had changed his sex over the years and was no longer as barbaric as before, but he didn't expect that as soon as she encountered such a principled problem, she began to do things to herself again.

"To go or not!" Turandot glared and asked, very tigress-like.

"Go, of course, I'm just kidding......"

Only then did Turandot let go of his ears, and Li Hao hurriedly rubbed his ears for a while, grinning and screaming in pain.

After a period of drama, the group rode out to the legendary Flaming Mountain, which is composed mainly of red sand, conglomerate, and mudstone, so it is dark yellow or red, much darker than the color of the desert.

The desert's ability to absorb the heat of the sun is already amazing, not to mention the darker flame mountain, as soon as he entered the flame mountain, Li Hao felt that the heat wave was coming, and it was like entering the oven in an instant, Li Hao wanted to retreat again, and blurted out: "Why don't we go back ......"

Halfway through his words, Turandot was already glaring at him, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Why don't we go back first, and come back when it's cold at night." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, just go now!" Turandot glared at him fiercely, and rode up in front of him.

Li Hao smacked his lips helplessly, and could only shake his head and lead everyone into the Flame Mountain half-dead.

Entering the Flaming Mountain, Li Haozhen felt like he had entered an oven, and after only a while, his clothes were already sweaty, and they were tightly stuck to his back, how uncomfortable it was, how uncomfortable it was, he turned his head to look at the others, Lu Yun and Turandot also had sweat on their foreheads, but they were not as embarrassed as themselves, the twenty-eight special forces were also sweating like rain, but none of them frowned, but Jin Li and they seemed the most relaxed, no wonder, these six were desert horse thieves, and they had long been accustomed to such hot weather, Although the Flaming Mountains are hotter than in the desert, they are significantly more adaptable.

Li Hao looked at the red mountains and land around him again, the strong heat caused the air to be distorted, and he felt that the mountains in the distance had been shaking, as far as the eye could see, there was no green plant, not even the camel thorns and cacti, which were the most vigorous in the desert, could not be seen, let alone beasts and birds.

"Lu Yun, tell me what you thought at the time." Li Hao couldn't help but complain, "How can you bury your senior sister in this kind of ghost place, this is a real chicken that doesn't lay eggs and birds don't." ”

Lu Yun's expression darkened when he heard this, and he sighed sadly: "At that time, I was busy running for my life, and my senior sister's body was already rotten, and I was forced to be helpless, so I could only bury it on the spot. ”

When Li Hao saw his appearance, he couldn't say anything more, so he could only divert the topic: "How far is it?" ”

Lu Yun said: "Less than twenty miles." ”

Li Hao heard this: "Speed up, otherwise you won't have time to rush back before dark." So they quickened themselves and trotted their horses on.

Not long after Li Hao and the others entered the Flame Mountain, a team of horse thieves of more than two hundred people also came outside the Flame Mountain, and the leader rode on his horse and said in a cold voice: "The spies came to report that they had entered the volcano, and there were less than forty people. ”

"Shall we go in too?" One of the people next to him asked, "Do you want to stay outside and ambush them?" ”

"No!" The leader shook his head, "We must go in, this place is too close to Xizhou, they have an army nearby, we can't expose it, we must kill them unknowingly, go!" Come in with me! ”

Li Hao and the others stopped halfway to feed the horses and drink water once, and continued on the road, and when they arrived at a small mountain col, Lu Yun pointed to the narrow mountain col and said: "Senior sister's grave is inside, I was afraid of disturbing the passing caravan, I specially buried her in this hidden mountain col." ”

Li Hao nodded and waved his hand: "Go in." ”

So the group rode into the mountain col, walked forward for about two miles, and the front had reached the end, and sure enough, they found that there was a lonely grave on the open ground, and there was a stone tablet. And tribute? ”

Sure enough, I saw a stone tablet standing in front of the tomb, and the inscription was: "Master Yunzong Sister Yu Youlan's tomb." ”

Li Hao dismounted and stepped forward to check it, and found that the tribute was still very fresh, definitely no more than two days, but the tombstone was a bit old and did not look new.

Lu Yun looked at the tombstone and said slowly: "We were in a hurry to flee for our lives, and we didn't set up a monument, and then we were far away in the Central Plains, and we never had time to come back, who erected this tombstone?"

Li Hao asked Lu Yun: "Then apart from you and the Tu family, who else knows about this tomb?" ”

Lu Yun shook his head: "It's gone." ”

Li Hao looked at the inscription and asked again, "Your sect is called Yunzong?" ”

"Yes." Lu Yun nodded.

Li Hao frowned and muttered: "I actually know your sect, could it be your master, maybe your master is not dead." ”

Lu Yun was thoughtful and did not speak.
