The closer you get to Mochizuki Castle, the more you can feel a very unusual atmosphere.

Among the pedestrians encountered along the way, there were many strange people, or characters with unique skills at first sight. Even seeing fights and fierce fights from time to time, Liu Heng didn't dare to rest anymore when he settled in the wild, because those seeming peeps were really difficult to reassure.

Most of them are in the same direction as them, but these people can't tell whether they are right and evil, or sometimes they are righteous men and gentlemen, and sometimes they will turn into evil ghosts who seek money and kill people.

The farther they go to the border, the more these people become, and their eyes are often ill-intentioned, so that no one dares to take it lightly.

It wasn't until Moon City was visible in the distance that Liu Heng gradually breathed a sigh of relief.

In the second half, if He Bo and Liu Heng hadn't been on guard at any time and deterred those who snooped, the guards accompanying Lu Youqi would have died no one for a long time.

What kind of ecstasy incense, sweat smoke, or even the honest villagers who peddle poisonous wine, the medicine in the upper reaches of the stream, the poisoning of the well water, the soul cultivation technique or formation, all kinds of means emerge in an endless stream, making it impossible to prevent it.

These guards are dedicated enough to their duties, but they lack the experience of walking in the rivers and lakes, and they have made a lot of calculations if they know what they don't know. Those who can prevent these calculations, except for Liu Heng and He Bo, are only a few old rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, they are there, and they simply let go of their breath at the critical moment, so as to avoid a lot of trouble.

The second half of the journey was really a bit difficult, so when Mochizuki City was in sight, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted.

When they arrived at the city gate, everyone became extremely peaceful, and there was no more open and secret fighting, and they all entered the city quietly.

"You've worked hard, now find an inn and have a good night's rest, and then get busy tomorrow. After entering the city smoothly, Lu Youqi said loudly to everyone, causing a burst of applause.

After walking all the way and witnessing the battles and calculations all the way, Lu Youqi, a scholar of the family, was also an eye-opener, and finally knew a little about the sinister rivers and lakes, and I still have palpitations in my heart when I think about it.

"No wonder my father didn't let me go on the road alone before, I only found out this time, it turns out that the rivers and lakes are so dangerous. He sighed at Liu Heng and the others, and said solemnly: "Thanks to Brother Jin and Uncle He for taking care of this way, thank you two here." ”

When he spoke, he was about to be deeply embarrassed, and before he could make a gesture, Liu Heng stopped him with his hand, "Little Third Master, you can't help it, don't torture me like this." ”

"That's right, we have lived and died together, it's my hypocrisy. Lu Heqi got up and said with a smile: "Even if you want to thank you, it shouldn't be just such a flashy and false courtesy, the matter of the two joining the army is wrapped up in me, wait for me to visit a few old friends at home tonight, and wait for my good news tomorrow." ”

Along the way, he consciously understood the details of the three of them, the strong ones were Liu Heng and He Bo, and Liu Heng was just a relative who was piggybacking on the way. After thinking that he understood, he was not so enthusiastic about Liu Heng, and gradually put his mind on Liu Heng and He Bo.

Liu Heng immediately hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for taking care of the third master, then we will wait for good news." ”

Lu Youqi smiled when he heard this, and he was about to say something further, but unfortunately Liu Heng didn't give him a chance, and only said that he "needs to rest as soon as possible" and then went back to the room, making Lu Youqi smile on his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

"It's so arrogant that he doesn't even give any face. A strong man beside Lu Youqi snorted, very displeased, "Young master, you want me to ......"

"Don't talk nonsense. ”

Lu Youqi immediately interrupted, squinted and sent the three of them into the room, and then smiled again, "People with ability will naturally have a big temper, if they don't have a temper, I won't be able to convince them that they won't be able to show their ability, so it's interesting." ”

Several guards beside him hurriedly said, "Young Master is wise!"

Lu Youqi smiled: "Okay, you don't have to be a sycophant, you can all go and rest quickly, and you will accompany me to visit the old family later." ”

"Yes!"

In the room, Liu Heng opened the simple forbidden array on the identity token, and then said, "Uncle He, is there still nothing to discover?"

"It's strange to say, there are usually some imprints, but now all the way, even when I get to this Mochizuki City, I haven't seen any imprints. He Bo frowned and said, "I really don't know what the Liu family is up to." ”

The reason why they chose the end point of this trip is in Mochizuki City, it can be said that most of the reason is for the Liu family. In any case, they have a constant relationship with the Liu family, even if they want to break off the relationship, they have to find an opportunity to make it clear in person, so as to save any more nonsense in the future.

So they chose Mochizuki City, the place where the first Gu Beihou became famous in the first battle. In the family history that Liu Heng knew, the Liu family fell to the extreme at that time, and it was not until Gu Beihou rose here that the Liu family was revitalized, so this place has a deep relationship with the Liu family, and it is the place where Liu Heng and they can think of the most likely to contact the Liu family.

But after arriving here, Uncle He still didn't find the secret mark left by the Liu family, which is a bit confusing.

"It doesn't matter, we're not in a hurry to leave anyway. Liu Heng frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "It's a big deal, when they become famous, let them come to us by themselves." ”

"The young master is right. Hearing this, Uncle He was also relieved.

Liu Heng smiled and said: "For today's plan, let's find a place to settle down first, settle Liu Heng first, and then wait for the news of the Lu family." ”

"Okay, then I'll go find a place. He Bo agreed, and quietly went out.

Since you have made up your mind to join the army here and gain military merits, it is not a long-term solution to stay in the inn all the time, so it is naturally convenient to have a place to stay.

As soon as Uncle He left, Liu Heng was about to speak, but Liu Heng glared at him and said, "Wen Shu well", and immediately opened the scroll with a bitter face, not daring to speak anymore.

After staring at Liu Heng for a while, seeing that he had already begun to work hard, Liu Heng sat cross-legged, pondered for a while, took out something and put it on the table, and began to close his eyes and recuperate.

When the night gradually fell, the lights began to light up in the city, Liu Heng glanced at the brass bell-like gadget on the table, frowned, got up to light the candle for Liu Heng, and happened to hear a slight vibration.

Liu Heng was also alarmed, and he couldn't help but follow the prestige, and saw that it was the copper bell that Liu Heng put on the table that vibrated out of thin air, and his face suddenly showed surprise.

"Read your book well and don't get distracted!"

Before he could ask, Liu Heng scolded again, asking Liu Heng to sit in a hurry, but his eyes couldn't help but drift towards this side, he really couldn't help but be curious.

It wasn't until Liu Heng held down the copper bell and stared at him with such a cold face, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he withdrew his distracting thoughts and continued to read, Liu Heng's soul poured into the copper bell and "listened" to the sound of talking from the copper bell.

"Brother Liu, no, it's time to call Brother Jin now, right? I don't know much about the Liu family a long time ago, as a member of the Liu family, you must know better than me, why did you ask me about such an outsider?"

Hearing the words "Brother Jin", Liu Heng squinted, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, "I didn't bother Brother Bai today for the Liu family, but I wanted to ask about the Lu family." ”

Soon after, the bell vibrated again.

"Haha, I know that I can't hide it from Brother Liu. Yes, this Lu family did listen to my orders, it was nothing more than a trivial matter, Brother Liu should congratulate Brother Liu on getting what he wanted, don't take it to heart. ”

Unexpectedly, Bai Shishi did not shy away from it, and when he heard Liu Heng's suspicions, he admitted it calmly.

In fact, in the past three years, the two have not broken contact through this thousand miles of bell. Including the news of He Bo and the news of the prince's assassination, they all relied on Bai Shishi to send them in advance, so that Liu Heng got a lot of opportunities.

So for this Bai Fourteen, although Liu Heng knew that he would have good intentions, he also had to admit his affection. It's just the spirit of Bai Fourteen's news, the meaning is profound, from the change of Zhou Tianzong two years ago to the word "Brother Jin" now, it can be seen, Liu Heng is also frightened and deeply jealous.

You must know that after he changed his identity, he thought that he had already got rid of the court and the major families, but he was broken by Bai Shishi, which is enough to prove how powerful Bai Shishi is.

"I'm bothering Brother Bai again. ”

However, after he pointed it out, Liu Heng also had a lot of doubts about the Lu family, and his heart was a lot easier, and then he responded lightly: "Brother Bai treats me like this, so I am grateful, I don't know how to repay Brother Bai's kindness?"

"Only Brother Liu can remember my affection, it is enough not to make me feel that my hard work is in vain, what kind and unkind, Brother Liu is really serious. Bai Shishi smiled back, "Brother Liu wants to do something now, just do it, it's not too late to talk about the future." ”

Future?

Liu Heng's eyes flickered, and he felt that Bai Shishi's matter seemed to be becoming more and more tricky. This Bai Fourteen clearly calculated his character, so he was not afraid of him defaulting on the debt at all, and seemed to be ready to put this account in the future, and get a greater harvest when it was repaid in the future.

"Brother Bai, it's better to set a deadline. ”

Liu Heng's tone turned stiff, "It's better to be like this, within four years, if Brother Bai is sent, as long as it is not too excessive, I will do my best." If it's over four years, don't blame me for being forgetful, how about it?"

These words obviously surprised Bai Shishi, so the copper bell was silent for a while before Bai Shishi's somewhat cold rhetorical question came.

"Brother Liu, what do you mean by this?"

"It's not interesting, it's just that I'm not used to indebtedness to others, so naturally the sooner I pay it back, the sooner I can feel at ease. Liu Heng snorted and said.

In fact, if he himself is unharmed, he is not afraid of Bai Fourteen playing any moths, he knows that he has more than four years to live at most, so he naturally does not want to delay any longer. He was afraid that after he went, with Bai Shishi's heart and ability, he would find Liu Heng and He Bo to settle the account, and then it would be the real big trouble.

Therefore, he is only ready to deal with all these troubles while he is still alive, and he never wants to leave them to Uncle Ho.

Of course, he wouldn't have said more about these things to Bai Shishi, if he knew that Liu Heng's life would not be long, Liu Heng was really afraid that something would happen to him now.

After a sentence, the copper bell was silent for a while, and Bai Shixi muttered, "That's it...... Although I don't know what concerns Brother Liu has, since the words are so clear, it will not be difficult for others. Brother Liu rest assured, if it is really useful to get Brother Liu, it will not be more than four years. ”

"It's for the best. ”

After discussing properly, Liu Heng's tone also softened, "I'm just going straight to the point, and I ask Brother Bai to forgive me." ”

"It's okay, if it's a person who thinks too much, I really don't want to have more to do with him, I like Brother Liu's temperament, what to say, it's best. Bai Fourteen's tone also became brisk.

Liu Heng laughed, "By the way, this battle, Brother Bai must not miss it, right?"

"This is the enmity of my brother, the sorrow of my family and country, that is, no one has risen, and I have long been ready to wear filial piety and go to the battlefield alone. Bai Shishi's voice was extremely solemn, as if he was very sad and angry, "With such a national feud and unity, how can I stay out of the matter?"

said such a high-sounding word, anyway, it was a meaning to Liu Heng's ears, and he Bai Fourteen was finally about to surface.

"Yes, such a national feud, no one can stay out of it. Liu Heng also pretended to be solemn, "So even if I am slandered as an important criminal of the imperial court, I also have the heart to avenge this national revenge!"

"It's not interesting, it's just that I'm not used to indebtedness to others, so naturally the sooner I pay it back, the sooner I can feel at ease. Liu Heng snorted and said.

In fact, if he himself is unharmed, he is not afraid of Bai Fourteen playing any moths, he knows that he has more than four years to live at most, so he naturally does not want to delay any longer.
