Yandan Mountain.

Deep in the jungle.

One night, the roar of the tiger seemed to be in my ears, but it never appeared.

The tiger, the king of beasts, has a strong sense of territory, but it will not attack easily. It will usually only kill with one blow under absolutely certain circumstances. It is more like a killer lurking in the dark night.

But now Zhui Feng is clearing the way in front, and both Yang Ruoqing and Liu Xueyun are armed with sharp blades. Tiger can sense the danger and will only lurk and follow, instead of taking serious action.

After walking for a while, the view was very poor and the road became very narrow and bumpy.

From this, Yang Ruoqing found a cave on the cliff and slept in her clothes.

In the latter part of the night, suddenly, there was a howl of a wolf.

Yang Ruoqing's eyes suddenly opened.

This is the sound of chasing the wind!

It was attacked.

Yang Ruoqing held the hilt of the sword and stood up. At this time, Liu Xueyun also stood up with a scimitar.

Without the erosion of inflammation on the body, skin and flesh injuries are nothing to him.

It can be seen from this that Liu Xueyun has a very strong physique and is definitely a natural warrior.

It's a pity that he actually became an ordinary clerk in the past. It is said that this was his old mother's last wish.

Liu's mother didn't want him to be a killer in the army, she just wanted him to live a peaceful life.

This is also the most simple wish of a mother, but the world has been corrupted, and it is already very difficult for ordinary people to live in peace of mind. When encountering some disaster, their families are often destroyed.

In the end, his fate took another path.

"It's a big python." Liu Xueyun said.

Yang Ruoqing can still barely see at night. She does not have night blindness.

In this world, many people suffer from night blindness at night. To put it bluntly, they eat too little meat and suffer from poverty.

As a minor official, Liu Xueyun's monthly salary can still provide for him to eat, and he naturally does not suffer from night blindness.

"This python is a bit big." Yang Ruoqing was slightly surprised.

This huge python is seven or eight meters long, and it can definitely swallow a whole person with one mouth.

At this time, Zhui Feng was fighting with the boa constrictor. The boa constrictor opened its bloody mouth, its body spiraled into a ball, and its head was raised up with a pair of cold and cruel eyes.

"Just kill the big snake, it won't be good if you delay your sleep."

Yang Ruoqing was a little impatient and didn't want to watch the big python's "performance" anymore.

"Okay, I'll kill him," Liu Xueyun said.

"No, I'll take action and you rest. Now that you have recovered your strength, it would be better to leave Changle County as soon as possible."

Yang Ruoqing accelerated her body, stepped on the ground with both feet, and twirled the long sword in her hand. The light of the sword flashed in the air several times, and it pierced the big snake's neck.

He exerted all his strength and almost cut off half of the snake's neck.

His technique and swordsmanship were all very good, and he completely defeated the big snake in one fell swoop.

Blood spurted out, and the big snake's body twitched on the ground a few times, and then stopped.

"I swallowed the snake's gall."

Yang Ruoqing used her sword to break open the snake's neck and took out the snake's gallbladder.

The huge python has a gallbladder that is only as big as an egg.

But it condenses the essence of heaven and earth it absorbs, and has a strong eyesight-improving effect.

Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth and swallowed the snake gall, then walked towards the direction of the cave.

"Go to sleep and start our journey again at dawn tomorrow."

The meat and leather of the boa constrictor are both good things, but Yang Ruoqing couldn't take it out of the mountains, so she could only take a limited part of it to make snake meat soup on the road.

…

After several days, Yang Ruoqing and Liu Xueyun finally walked out of Yandan Mountain.

There is a waterway nearby that leads directly to the Grand Canal in the capital. After getting on the two-story lucky boat, Yang Ruoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Once here, we have basically gotten rid of the Yuan family's influence.

The Yuan family's hands are not that long, so they can only deploy near Changle County. Beyond Changle County, the Yuan family is beyond reach.

After giving enough money, the steward of the lucky ship bound for the capital immediately smiled and offered first-class rooms, exquisite food, hot water, and silk clothes.

Yang Ruoqing, who had freshened up and dressed up, had regained her appearance as a noble lady. She looked like a relative of a high official, not to mention that she also had the status of a royal wife.

And Liu Xueyun put on the clothes of a guard and equipped with a waist knife, and finally he was no longer in such a mess.

After more than half a month of this, the lucky boat finally sailed into the canal.

Walking onto the deck, Yang Ruoqing was wearing a rose-red carved skirt, her hair was combed into a double-knife bun, and she was beautiful and elegant. Liu Xueyun was at her side, her palm pressed on the handle of the knife.

"How have you cultivated yourself these days?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"All the wounds have healed and my physical strength has fully recovered. Madam, just ask me to do anything you need me to do." Liu Xueyun said with a bit of respect.

This comes from his heart. Through these days of contact, he can tell that the young lady in front of him is an unprecedented strange woman. She is civilized and martial, and she is not inferior to her husband. He has already developed a desire for revenge.

Enough confidence.

To reciprocate love, he consciously put himself in front of his followers.

"Can I make a suggestion? It's time to take care of your beard." Yang Ruoqing smiled.

This young man Liu Xueyun is good at everything, but his beard is too long and looks weird.

"I forgot about this, I will deal with it later." Liu Xueyun was stunned for a moment, then reached out and touched his beard, and immediately a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The beard is really too messy, like a pile of weeds. It doesn’t look good with this beard on a well-dressed outfit.

The wide canal took hundreds of years and several generations to build, benefiting future generations.

In the distance, there are seven large ships moving forward slowly in a row.

Yang Ruoqing returned to the cabin, and not long after, there was a noise outside.

"Is there a big ship blocking the way?"

Yang Ruoqing was somewhat surprised when she received the news. The owner of this ship was a businessman who was engaged in transshipment business. He had boasted a few days ago that he had great hands and eyes. The government had taken good care of the docks along the way. This was the hinterland of Daqi, so it was not too difficult.

There may be water bandits and their ilk.

Then who blocked the way?

Yang Ruoqing returned to the deck again, and the lucky ship was indeed stopped.

Blocking the road in front is a very luxurious ship. The structure on the ship is made of expensive wood. The sailors on it are actually armed with weapons, which looks quite tough.

A young man, surrounded by several people, came to the deck of this lucky ship from the opposite boat.

The captain, a wealthy middle-aged man, dressed in Tuanhe's rich silk and satin clothes, was accompanying Xiao Xing in a low voice.

"The fixed price is five thousand taels of silver, and I will let you go now. Otherwise, I will check whether your ship is smuggling any prohibited items."

The young man had a pair of dead fish eyes, oily hair and pink face, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, looking arty.
