Chapter 677 Don't Take Waterways (One More)
No matter now or in the past, Shen Lie has never said much, let alone seeing his inner voice.

Ji Xiahe suddenly had no way to joke, he looked at the small wooden long box that Shen Lie was holding.

Shen Lie's hands are handsome and slender, under the soft light of the night, his complexion is like jade, and the strength he holds the wooden box is very gentle.

Ji Xiahe couldn't help but laugh, and looked up at Shen Lie again. The young man's facial features were clear and handsome, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Ji Xiahe had seen so many handsome men, and every time he saw Shen Lie, he felt amazing, cold and unearthly.

So now, even laughing at him with his nasty words, he only sighed with a smile on his lips.

After all, this good friend has been lonely and aloof since he was a child. Who would have thought that one day he would be tempted by Fan Xin.

But you can't hide your liking for someone. If he is careful and quiet in front of her, he won't be able to cover up when he is in front of them.

No, he didn't think about covering it up, Ji Xiahe suddenly felt that he was doubly letting himself go.

Ji Xia said "Hey", and looked up at the vast night sky.

The moon and stars are sparse, wide and cold, and the long wind blows the sea of ​​clouds, rolling out thousands of miles of waves.

I don't know what the future holds...

"Then now, it's decided, go to Puluwu?" Ji Xiahe said.

"Ah."

"Are you really not going back to Huazhou?" Ji Xiahe said again.

"Ah."

"Then you and Miss Xia..." Ji Xiahe looked at him.

Shen Lie smiled lightly, and pushed the map in his hand: "Compared to the problems of Shuangpo Gorge and Puluwu, the intersections from Huazhou to Zuilu are the key. Horses will show up too."

Ji Xiahe put away the flagon in his hand, and also put away the smile on his face.

"I actually don't really want to go back," Ji Xiahe said, "I think it's good to wait for people in Yongwu City for the past [-] days. When I think of going back and facing those faces, I feel sick."

"After going back to see your father, settle down your mother."

Ji Xia and Pi Xiao hooked their lips together with a smile: "It's really annoying to drag the family around. Look at our Ji family, which seems to be a huge family, but in fact it's too big. It's a big crime for Guangzhao to come out, and it won't be good in the future. Life is going on, Song Zhiyi will never let Ji's family go easily."

Shen Lie didn't answer.

There was a sound of horseshoes in a hurry.

Shen Lie and Ji Xiahe turned around.

Du Xuan and others nearby heard the sound and came, looking at the horses approaching from a distance.

The thin and thin sentinel got off his horse, gasped and said, "There are soldiers and granaries [-] miles away from Puluwu!"

The words "grain storage warehouse" made everyone's complexion change drastically, and they subconsciously looked at Shen Lie.

The word "grain storage warehouse" means heavily guarded, and the wiring range is definitely not limited to the five miles around the storage warehouse.

Now the distance between them is less than fifteen miles, and it is even hard to say that they have entered the territory occupied by each other.

"Master, could it be those people we met before?" Dai Yu looked at Shen Lie.

"Impossible," was Du Xuan's answer, "it's pitch-dark and there's not a single trace of human habitation. If the entire rear area is their garrison, then the fire in the middle will never be interrupted. There are more than 1000 people, and there will definitely be people running back and forth."

"If there are troops stationed ahead, shall we continue to Puluwu?" Dai Yu asked again.

"Master, please change the route to Guozhuang Jiangkou." Du Xuan said.

"Don't go by water." Shen Lie said.

"The waterway is better, the waterway is indeed safe," Ji Xiahe said, "there must be boats along the coast, let's take advantage of the darkness to go there and snatch it once, if you think it is morally wrong, I will send money to make amends in the future."

"It has nothing to do with the boat," Shen Lie said, "it's the floating corpse."

Ji Xia had a meal together, thinking about what he had heard and seen in these days, it is true that the waterway at the mouth of the Guozhuang River is probably full of evil spirits.

His back was a little chilly, looking at the Daqiu Lake in front of him, the sky was bright and the water was clear, which was really rare in troubled times.

"Then, shall we go to Shuangpo Gorge?" Zhai Jinsheng asked.

Shen Lie looked at him, but didn't speak.

After a while of silence, Shen Lie made up his mind: "Get ready to go, first find a deserted village to settle down, we will wander here for the remaining five days, and after five days, we will leave from Shuangpo Gorge."

Everyone was stunned.

"Notice." Shen Lie looked at Zhai Jinsheng, and his tone could not be refuted.

Zhai Jinsheng nodded: "Yes!"

Huazhou was originally prosperous, and the southeast of Huazhou is a place of elegance and celebrities. If there are deserted villages here, they will either be slaughtered or flee due to the war.

Going southeast along the shore of the lake, the six spies sent out all returned within an hour, and found two places in total, one at the foot of Niuling Mountain and the other at Jianchungang.

Shen Lie looked at the map for a long time, and finally chose the foot of Niuling Mountain.

A group of more than 60 people, not too many, but quite a few, headed towards the foot of Niuling Mountain in the dark.

Different from the previous galloping raids, they are now extremely quiet, the horseshoes stepping silently across the shallow grass on the bank, and even the sound of the wheels rolling over the mud and stones is slight.

Due to the change of direction, the road ahead turned into a boundless wilderness. It was not until a pale light appeared in the eastern sky, and a beautiful morning glow gradually spread on the horizon where the sky and the earth intersected, that there seemed to be an end in the distance.

I met many corpses along the road, some were mummified in the sun, some were seriously decomposed, and some were torn to pieces by wild animals, leaving only stumps.

The men rode past without looking sideways, with the sound of horseshoes softly, stepping over the wilderness and firewood paths, and stepped into the messy and dilapidated deserted village.

Shen Lie didn't stop, and took people to survey the terrain nearby.

It is said to be a deserted village, but in fact the buildings and scenery in the village, including the size of the open space in front of the ancestral hall, show the original wealth of this small village, at least not inferior to that of Taoxi Village by Bajiang Lake.

Dai Yu even found several jars of unopened peach blossom wine in the cellar in the backyard of the ancestral hall.

He was very moved, and tried to get Shen Lie to agree to stay, and tried to move out of Ji Xiahe, but Shen Lie refused readily, and said lightly: "Put it back."

"Master..."

Touching Shen Lie's bottomless calm eyes, Dai Yu finally put the wine jar back.

Except for the wine, there are also a lot of silk and satin scattered in several well-built courtyards nearby, which shows how panicked they were when they escaped.

There are no corpses in the village, but there are some wild dogs or other ferocious animal feces, but the number is very small, and it is widely scattered. From this, it can be inferred that there was no food left in the village for them to plunder before they came.

When he came back, Du Xuan had already arranged the housework properly, and Lin Zhonghu was dragged by him to clean up the house together.

The lighting in the room was not good, so Du Xuan specially lit two lamps.

Shen Lie unbuttoned his clothes, took off his inner shirt and threw it aside, Lin Zhonghu just followed Du Xuan in carrying hot water, and saw his back at a glance.

The young man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His skin color was as cold and white as jade on his back.

Every scar is neat and neat, not as ferocious as a centipede, but it looks extremely uncoordinated on such a back that should be clean, completely ruining the beauty.

Noticing the gaze behind him, Shen Lie turned around.

The lights in the room are bounded by his handsome nose, half of which is bright and half of which is dark.

No matter which half it is, it's so cold that it seems to swallow people.
