The name of the Moon Occultation Forest is poetic, but it has two other names, the Devil's Forest and the Horse Thief Forest, which are more famous than the previous one.

The moon covering forest is in the southeast of Luoshui Plain, northwest of the Great Jin Linghu Pass, the terrain here is complex, the forest stretches for thousands of miles, the swamp is dense, and the fierce beasts are infested, neither the Jin army nor the Hu people want to enter this forest, even if they are horse thieves, they are not desperate, and they do not want to enter this forest.

The Great Jin and the Hu people didn't care, and it became a three-way zone, a paradise for horse thieves, and Xu Jie led part of the border troops who escaped from the state to settle here.

After slowing down for a while, the two of them picked up their speed again, and after galloping to the south for a few miles, they heard a burst of singing, the singing was desolate, very characteristic of the grassland, Fang Huiyun slowed down, galloped on a small hill, and a convoy of carriages came in the distance, the convoy was very long, and there were hundreds of carriages and hundreds of camels at a cursory glance.

"It should be the food team. The woman in the suit said.

Fang Huiyun nodded, the army is out of the block, the grain road is the most important, the 100,000 army is out of the block, and the troops responsible for protecting the grain road will account for one-third, that is to say, at least 30,000 horses and horses will be used to maintain the safety of the grain road.

"Which trading company is sending grain this time?" Fang Huiyun asked.

According to the practice of the Great Jin Dynasty, when the army went out of the fortress, it was not the people who were responsible for delivering grain, but the trading company, the army was only responsible for security protection, and the trading company was responsible for raising carriage people, mainly people, which saved the court a lot of time.

This is also profitable for merchants, but only a few large trading companies dare to take on this kind of business.

"This time," the woman in the costume thought for a moment before saying, "It's a merchant called Hanhai Trading Company." ”

"Hanhai Trading Company?" Fang Huiyun remembered, and the woman in the strong suit replied affirmatively: "Yes, it is the news provided by the sect is this trading company, this trading company only came to Bingzhou five years ago, mainly going to the grassland, the shopkeeper of the trading company is very shrewd, going to Saiwai in the north, Chang'an in the west, and going to the imperial capital in the south, the business is very prosperous, and now it is one of the largest trading companies in Bingzhou." ”

Fang Huiyun didn't speak, just stared directly at the team that was getting closer and closer, the guys in the team were very presumptuous, singing at the top of their voices as they walked, as if they didn't know that they were walking on the battlefield, and the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people could appear at any time and launch a surprise attack on them.

Fang Huiyun simply dismounted, loosened the saddle, and let the horses rest, she wanted to see this caravan, when she was in the imperial capital, she received the favor of the master of the Hanhai Trading Company and saved her life, how could she forget this life-saving grace.

When Fang Hui was there, the border army had a fixed trading company to transport grain, cloth and other materials for the border army, and after Fang Hui was killed, the trading company that cooperated with the border army was naturally implicated, and two trading companies were convicted, and for a period of time, no one dared to do business with the border army.

The convoy is getting closer and closer, there are many carriages, and there are many people, Fang Huiyun quickly saw clearly, this person is divided into two parts, one part is the border army responsible for protection, about three thousand people, and the other part is the trading company guys and guards, this part is dressed completely different from the border army, miscellaneous, all kinds of colors, the total number of people is also quite a lot, and it looks like there are about three thousand at a glance.

Caravans that can organize thousands of people are all big caravans, and they have the ability to walk the grassland desert, and this Hanhai trading company has actually organized a caravan of about 3,000 people.

The patrol horse of the outpost saw Fang Huiyun and the two of them on the small hill, more than ten people rushed to the horse, Fang Huiyun and the two of them were still very calm, and the tun commander who led the team circled around the two of them, interrogating the two of them, and the woman in the strong suit answered simply, and at the same time took out the Guan Wen that had been prepared a long time ago.

After the tun chief looked at it, he returned Guan Wen to them, and led people down the hill, and the military marquis behind him looked at it and shook his head.

"You kid has a big life, these two women are not easy to see, at this time, those who dare to go on the road alone, go outside the plug, or women, are not easy to provoke. ”

Tun Chang was a young man, who looked to be only in his twenties, and he was a little surprised when he heard this, but he was a little unconvinced, and argued: "Their sudden appearance there makes people suspicious, and I have to go and investigate." ”

"Okay, you're right!" the marquis shook his head with a smile, and the commander turned his horse's head and galloped away.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after the Jin army explored the horse and left, Fang Huiyun and the woman in the strong suit also got on the horse and went down the mountain from the other side.

Along the way, I didn't meet anyone again, this area has been reduced to a war zone, the Hu people and the Jin people are all far away, lest they can't hide, occasionally meet a few rangers, all of them are sentinels in the army, obviously the king of Taiyuan is very cautious, and the guard post has been placed a hundred miles away.

After three days of galloping, the two of them rushed to the Occult Moon Forest, stationed at the edge of the forest, neither of them was in a hurry to enter the forest, this devil's forest is not a small forest, just go in, that can only be a death, in addition, for several days in a row, the horse is also tired, the two of them set up a tent by the stream outside the forest, and the people and horses are resting and resting.

Fang Huiyun took out the fishing rod and the small horse tie from her bag, this fishing rod is very delicate and can be retracted, it is less than half an arm long when put away, but it is nearly five feet long when it is released, and the horse tie is similar, put away and hung on the saddle, small and exquisite.

She was very comfortable catching fish by the stream, while the woman in the power suit lay on the grass, biting a grass root in her mouth, squinting at the white clouds floating in the sky, and the two horses unsaddled, washed cleanly, and leisurely grazing on the side.

The woman in the power suit fell asleep slowly, and when she opened her eyes, the sky was already full of red clouds, and when she smelled a fragrance, she turned over and saw Fang Huiyun grilling fish.

"Senior sister, how did you get it so fragrant?" The woman in the costume got up and ran over, there were already a few grilled fish on the plate, and there was a roe deer on the fire.

Fang Huiyun smiled, this kind of grilled fish and barbecue method was learned in Liufu, in fact, in the past few years in the inner door, they don't pay attention to eating at all, and the inner door is all cultivation madness, they don't pay attention to eating at all, and eating is still a waste of time for them.

The woman in the power suit couldn't wait to grab a fish, the fish was grilled well, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and it tasted very fragrant.

"Senior sister, what are you eating at the inner gate?" asked the woman in the suit, Fang Huiyun frowned slightly, glared at her, and the woman in the suit hurriedly gagged her mouth.

The identity of the inner disciple is a secret, and when he came out, the sect master told him not to mention the inner door at any time, let alone Fang Huiyun's identity as an inner disciple.

"Let's eat it raw. Fang Huiyun said lightly, she was still concentrating on the barbecue, and the woman in the strong suit quickly ate a fish, and picked up another one while eating.

"Where did this roe deer go?"

"If I came by myself, I will be able to do it. Fang Huiyun said, this girl in a strong suit is her little junior sister, named Lan Xin, and her relationship has always been very good, when the Fang family had an accident, she was in the sect, ready to participate in the selection of inner disciples, but unfortunately, she was not selected, this time she came out, she had to follow.

Lan Xin is young, only eighteen years old this year, and it is the first time to go out of the plug, she feels fresh everywhere, and she wants to see everything, if it weren't for Fang Huiyun by her side, she doesn't know what she would come up with.

The roe deer meat was roasted, and the night was thick, Fang Huiyun added two pieces of wood to the fire, and the two of them ate around the fire, and there was a wolf roar in the distance, Lan Xin couldn't help but shiver.

"It's okay, don't worry. Fang Huiyun comforted her, Lan Xin still looked around, the most terrifying thing on the grassland is the wolves, the wolves on the grassland are big and small, the big ones are thousands, the small ones are hundreds, a caravan of 100 people meets the wolves, unless there are skilled people, it is difficult to escape the annihilation of the whole army, if you meet thousands of big wolves, the grandmaster can only flee in the wilderness.

Suddenly, Fang Huiyun's brows furrowed slightly, Lan Xin was full, so she began to move, she lifted the jug and was about to go to the stream to fetch water, Fang Huiyun stopped her and told her not to walk around.

Lan Xin looked at her in confusion, Fang Huiyun's expression was serious, and Lan Xin suddenly heard it, and there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the darkness.

Lan Xin hurriedly pulled the horse over, quickly tied the saddle and the halter, and then looked vigilantly into the darkness.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and it is becoming more and more obvious, Fang Huiyun's expression is calm, Lan Xin is a little nervous, this is the Devil's Forest.

A fast horse appeared and disappeared in the moonlight, and the man at the horse was clearly coming towards the fire, and the horse's hooves broke through the darkness and stopped at the fire.

The man was wearing a black robe, his face was half covered by a face towel, only his eyes remained, he looked at Fang Huiyun and Lan Xin, as if he wanted to speak, but he fell headlong and fell off the horse.

Lan Xin almost screamed in surprise and was about to step forward, but Fang Huiyun grabbed her, and then asked carefully, "This brother, who are you?"

The man fell to the ground and did not answer, Fang Huiyun hesitated, stepped forward cautiously, his strength was concentrated all over his body, and he gently touched his nose, and he could feel a slight breath.

"Lift him up. Fang Huiyun commanded, Lan Xin came over, helped the masked man up, leaned against the trunk of the tree, and then fed him a bowl of water.

The masked man slowly woke up, Fang Huiyun walked behind him, his palm fell on his vest hole, and then asked, "Who are you?"

The masked man looked up at them, did not reply, sat down cross-legged with difficulty, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured out two pills and swallowed them in one gulp, and then began to heal his wounds.

Fang Huiyun motioned for Lan Xin to come over, Lan Xin asked in a low voice what to do, Fang Huiyun shook her head, and the two of them didn't bother the person, sat on the side, and waited quietly.

After a while, the man opened his eyes, saw Fang Huiyun and Lan Xin, breathed a sigh of relief, got up and was about to speak, suddenly looked into the darkness, and snorted coldly: "You can't let me go." ”

Saying that, she was about to get on the horse, Fang Huiyun said: "Your injury is not healed yet, if you run like this again, the injury will be aggravated, and the future troubles will be endless, at least your cultivation will regress by two realms." ”

The masked man was slightly stunned, looked at Fang Huiyun, frowned slightly, and said in his heart, I don't know this yet, and gave Fang Huiyun Lan Xin his hand and said: "Thank you two girls, they are here, although the cultivation of the two girls is high, they are invincible with two fists and four hands, and this matter has nothing to do with the girl." ”

The masked man was about to mount his horse, when the bowstring sounded, and a feathered arrow ghostly broke through the darkness, and in the blink of an eye he reached the masked man.

The masked man shouted, waved his palm and slapped the feather arrow down, and the palm of his hand intersected with the feather arrow, so that there was a sound of metal impacting, and the feather arrow exploded with a bang, and the masked man took a few steps back.

Fang Huiyun and Lan Xin suddenly changed color, this arrow is so strong, it is so powerful!
