Chapter 395： Join the team into Lingshan

Lingbei Road, Rongzhou, Linling County.

"So, didn't you follow this official road last time?" Liu Qingyan asked.

"No……"

Lu Zheng looked at the mountain pass in front of him, although it was not crowded, but there was an endless stream of people, feeling speechless for a while.

"I was Lingshan, who directly traveled through the ground."

Between Lingbei Road and Lingnan Road, there is a huge mountain range, the Lingshan Mountains.

In addition to the roads on both sides of the Lingshan Mountains connecting the mountains, since ancient times, there have also been mountain roads running through the mountains and connecting the two roads.

Although most of the mountain roads are rugged and difficult mountain trails, through the gradual exploration of the dynasties and dynasties, a relatively easy road has been found, which is regarded as an official road.

Of course, the price of a good road is to take advantage of several mountain roads and go around several big bends, and the distance is at least three or four times that of other trails.

Even so, this distance is much closer than bypassing Lingshan, not to mention that this road has always been maintained by the imperial court, and there are official inns and some inns and tea stalls and wine shops opened by mountain people on the road, so you can sleep in the open. field.

Therefore, generally large caravans or teams pursuing safety will go together on the official road.

And some people who are in a hurry to make money, or who are familiar with the road, or who do not have much luggage, or who are more timid, may take the path.

"Go, go into the mountain."

Lu Zheng was in a hurry last time, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he hurried on the road, but this time he and Liu Qingyan went south to southern Xinjiang. In addition to attending Hu Zhou's wedding, he also accompanied his sister to the mountains and water along the way. , Of course, you can't put Liu Qingyan in a gourd and go on her way.

Lu Zheng held Liu Qingyan's hand, and the two were about to enter the mountain.

"This son, are you two planning to go to the mountains to play, or are you planning to go to Lingnan Road?" A voice sounded beside the two of them.

Lu Zheng looked back and saw a thin middle-aged man approaching the two with a smile on his face.

"What, Xiongtai has something to say?" Lu Zheng couldn't help asking.

"If it's not early today, I think the two of you are still going to enter the mountain. Could it be that you are in a hurry and are in a hurry to go to Lingnan Road?"

"So what? What about no?" Lu Zheng asked curiously.

"Although the official road is safe, there are many pedestrians on the road, and there are still queues at several bridges. It will take at least ten days to cross Lingshan." The middle-aged man said, "If you two are in a hurry, you can talk to the next person. The small caravan is on the same road, and if you know a mountain road, you can pass through Lingshan in four days.”

Lu Zheng followed the middle-aged man's gaze to the side of the road, and saw seven or eight unicycles on the side of the road, followed by four powerful men with knives and guns.

"I heard that it is not safe in Lingshan, and ordinary beasts are also dead. It is said that there are various mountain spirits and tree monsters in the mountain." Lu Zheng said, "There are imperial inns and garrisoned troops on the official road, which can ensure safety. If you take other roads, why not? Isn't it dangerous?"

"How can there be so many mountain spirits and tree monsters in the world, if there are foreign objects everywhere, how can it be Dajingchao's turn to be in charge?" The middle-aged man said with a smile, "I have been walking this road for two years, and I have encountered The beasts were also beaten away by the guards several times.

This time it was because the two of them were anxious, and just now they invited each other. If the two are willing, as long as they pay some money to hire guards, I am willing to take the two into the mountain together. "

For a small business, time is money, and this middle-aged man did not want to waste more than ten days of traveling through Lingshan.

Now seeing that Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan are well-dressed, they invite them to save some money for hiring guards.

"How much?" Lu Zheng asked.

In other words, he was not going to take the official road. After all, it was too slow and inconvenient for people to appear before him. His idea was to follow the official road. When he could turn into a small road, he would turn into the small road. close.

Now that there are insiders who are familiar with the road, Lu Zheng will naturally not refuse.

"Two sticks are enough!" The middle-aged man looked at the light burden behind Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan, "Eating on the road, you two don't have to worry about it, there are a lot of them."

Lu Zheng took out a handful of treasure notes from his arms, and took out two of them and handed them to the middle-aged man, "Just lead the way, you don't have to worry about eating."

Seeing the roll of treasure notes in Lu Zheng's hand, the middle-aged man was startled, then quickly glanced around and said in a low voice, "Mr. The population is sparsely populated, so don't attract the attention of people with bad intentions!"

"Thank you for the reminder, but it's okay, I still have some self-preservation power." Lu Zheng smiled, wrapping the white jade folding fan in a circle between his fingers and playing a trick.

The middle-aged man grinned, thinking that no wonder he dared to take a girl into the mountains. He turned out to be a trainer, but, if he was not a martial artist, he could only deal with ordinary people.

So……

Is this boy a warrior?

The middle-aged man looked at Lu Zheng quietly and couldn't see it.

"The two of you, please, by the way, I don't know how the two of you are called?" The middle-aged man asked, and then introduced himself, "My surname is Luo, Luo Jin, you can just call me Lao Luo."

Lu Zheng nodded, "Lu Zheng."

Liu Qingyan replied, "My surname is Liu."

"Master Lu, Miss Liu!"

Luo Jin brought the two of them to his team, "It's just past noon now, and we're ready to go. At night, we can go to a mountain hut prepared by the hunters. What else do you two prepare?"

"No need." Lu Zheng shook his head.

"Okay!" Luo Jin nodded, then greeted the four guards, and said to the leader, "Brother Zhang, you can go!"

Seeing that Luo Jin and Lu Zheng came together, everyone was ready and got up one after another.

The old brother Zhang looked at Lu Zheng and the two of them, nodded at Luo Jin, and said with a teasing, "It's really let you meet two singles, you really deserve the name of Luo Lao!"

Luo Jin smiled and said, "Small business, save it if you can."

The man surnamed Zhang looked at Lu Zheng again focused on Liu Qingyan, "Although the road is fast, the road is not easy to walk, have you thought about it? We are all used to walking on mountain roads, but we won't wait. you."

Liu Qingyan smiled slightly, "Don't worry, eldest brother, we also came here in hard times, and walking on the mountain road is just like going home."

The man surnamed Zhang's eyes lit up, "Yo, you thin skin and tender meat, I really didn't see it, okay, you'll know after a walk, go into the mountains!"

The man surnamed Zhang actually doesn't care. He has been on this mountain road for more than three years, and he has made dozens of trips back and forth. Most of them are bobcats, and occasionally leopards and big bugs. There was a wolf pack once, but it also managed to cope with the past without any risk.

Therefore, if there are two more weak chickens, there will be two more weak chickens. It doesn't matter, he can cover it!

Packed up properly, everyone went into the mountain.
