According to the plan, the inspection of the southeastern counties was to rush back to Xianyang in mid-October, but now it seems that it is not possible. It is delayed all the way, at least half a month later. It is at least early November when I return to Xianyang.

The carriages and horses continued to move forward. Half an hour later, a mountain appeared in front of him, like a creeping tiger, lying across between Taihang and Luliang. The road was divided into two places. The road was rushing along the mountain and into the canyon. There was also a stone pass at the entrance of the valley, with the three big words "Heihu Pass" written on it, and another small path with wild grass and thorns headed to the left along the Fen River.

There are several thatched huts and pergolas in front of Heihu Pass, and some people are selling tea and food. Although it is almost time to Shenshi, there are still many people rushing to the road, so this fork seems quite lively.

"Mr. Marquis, there is a service area ten miles ahead of Heihu Pass. The people selling tea said it was quite lively, and all the food, accommodation, cars and horses were repaired!" The guard leader came back to report after asking at the pass.

"That's great. Let's continue to give me instructions. Let's take a break before closing and eat some tea and snacks to the bottom before rushing!"

"Yes~" the guard leader retracted the reins, "The Marquis ordered him to rest here for a while before rushing!"

The order was issued, and soon the whole team stopped. The dismounted ones dismounted and the dismounted ones got out of the car. Under the arrangement of the guard leader, some people were alerted around and some people led the horse to the river to drink water. When the people in the tea shop that sold tea and meals before the pass saw such a large group of people who wanted to stop and rest, they naturally rushed to greet them, and took the bench and wiped the table to ask about food. Chen Xu was naturally not stingy. He took out a few purple Tai Chi Tongbao and ordered everyone to come. Soon the group sat under the pergola or on the grass on the side of the road to eat and drink.

"This Black Tiger Pass is as its name, and this mountain looks like a black tiger lying protruding on the road from a distance." Sitting under the pavilion, drinking tea and eating the restaurant's smoked jerky, Chen Xu couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the mountain in front of him.

"What my husband is talking about is that this road leads from the right through Heihu Pass to Yanmen County, but I don't know where the abandoned path on the left leads?" Shui Qingrou nodded curiously.

"Come here!" Chen Xu waved to a girl wearing coarse linen clothes to serve tea and water.

"What are the instructions of this young master?" The girl took a little timid step and saluted Fu Zhen.

"I'll ask you, where is the desolate road leading to the Fen River on the left?" Chen Xu pointed to the fork in the road.

The girl's face turned pale and shook her head and turned around and left.

"Stop, why don't the young master answer the question?" A guard grabbed the girl's arm with a cold look.

The girl screamed in fear, and the pottery filled with tea in her hand fell to the ground and fell to pieces. The sudden movement immediately made everyone see it. Not only the groom servants and guards who were accompanying Chen Xu, but also the business trips who were resting, the people who were carrying firewood and the owner of the tea shop.

"Stop the anger, the little girl, Shang Xiao, doesn't understand the rules, and doesn't know how to anger you all!" In a frightened state, a middle-aged man with dark skin quickly ran over to apologize.

"It's okay, it's our fault. Take the money to buy a teapot again!" Chen Xu placed a Tai Chi Tongbao on the rough wooden table, and then signaled the guard to let go of the girl and said happily, "I just asked her where the path covered with weeds on the left was. She was so scared that she turned around and left without saying a word. My guard stopped her. Well, tell me where the road on the left was leading, and why was it abandoned like this?"

The middle-aged man also shook his head slightly, his face pale and said, "Young Master, I think you are a rich and powerful person, but you'd better not ask about this matter. It's not too early now. You can hurry up after eating. You can't stay in front of the Black Tiger Pass for a long time. The sun sets and you must leave..."

"Rareless, the marquis is in front of you, what can I say?" Several guards on both sides yelled out of their sharp steel knife and glared at the middle-aged man.

"Give me your life~" A middle-aged man who had never seen such a fierce and domineering situation kneeled on the ground and begged for mercy with a thud.

Although I don’t know which marquis the young master with a gentle smile in front of me, the one who can be called a marquis in Daqin must be no ordinary kitten or dog, and there are also a group of vicious guards with a vicious accent in Guanzhong. If they are killed when they are caught, they may not be sued by Taiyuan County Government and no one dares to support their family.

"Don't kill my father!" The girl rushed up and hugged the middle-aged man, crying and said, "The road on the left leads to the Black Dragon's mouth. If you are not afraid of death, go!"

"I am not a villain. When you get up and answer, where is the black dragon's mouth? Are there any monsters and ghosts?" Chen Xu looked at the girl in confusion.

"Return... the Marquis of Hui, the mouth of the Black Dragon... there is a demon dragon appearing in the mouth of the Black Dragon. It not only devours the past business travelers, but also the wild beasts, cattle and horses. Two years ago... the Marquis of Tongwu was attacked by the demon dragon at the mouth of the Black Dragon. Hundreds of people were killed and injured. After being frightened, he died... on the way back to Xianyang..." The middle-aged man did not dare to get up at all, and knelt on the ground and answered stammeringly.

"I see!"

Chen Xu frowned and stood up, looking up at the sky. At this time, the sun sets west and hangs above the stretching mountains in the west, and it will completely set in at most half an hour.

"Do you want to go to the Heilongkou?" Shui Qingrou also stood up and asked softly.

"Well, the death of Tongwu Marquis was extremely strange at the beginning, and various folk legends were also spreading. Many people even pressed Wang Ben's death on this Marquis. Until now, there are still suspicions in the court and the people in the court. Wang Li hated me to the core. I didn't want to argue and explain this matter, but since I encountered it today, I naturally have to find out the truth..."

After Chen Xu asked the owner of the tea shop to get up, he asked in detail about the geographical situation nearby and the legend about the Black Dragon Mouth. He became more and more convinced that the Black Dragon Mouth was not a demon dragon, but as for what it was, he still needed to check it out to know.

"Prepare the horse, Chen Wu and Chen Liu and his companions stayed to escort the groom and carriage to wait directly in front of the service area, and the rest of them followed this marquis to visit the Heilongkou!"

"Yes, Marquis!"

After stopping for a while, the tea, snacks and snacks were still over, and the entire team immediately started to rush on to horses. Dozens of people quickly packed up their carriages and left in a row. Seven or eight guards escorted several carriages across the Heihu Pass and walked away. Chen Xu led the remaining guards and more than 30 people in the musket team to ride on the path that was flooded by thorns and weeds on the left.

In a blink of an eye, there was a silence in front of the already lively Heihu Pass.

Whether it was the mountaineering people who were carrying firewood, the business travelers who were resting on their feet, or the shops and helpers of several tea shops and food huts, they all opened their mouths and looked dull.

"Dad, they... they really went!" The girl in the tea shop said in horror as she grabbed the middle-aged man's arm tightly.

"Liao Da, where do these people come from? They are very brave. Only twenty or thirty people dare to go to Heilongkou!" A man with a hatchet on his waist walked in and patted the owner's shoulder and asked.

"No...I don't know, but his servant called him the Marquis. I think... I think it was a noble man from Xianyang who was ignorant of the world!" The owner was just concerned about fear and fear, and he didn't hear what Chen Xu said clearly.

At this time, several business trips passing by were also rushed in to ask the shop owner. After talking nonsense, a middle-aged merchant in a fur robe suddenly shook his body and his eyes were wide open and he exclaimed, "Don't guess it all, you guys are so young and have a title of lord, and there are only a few or even unique people in Xianyang. This young man must be the marquis of Qinghe!"

"Qinghe Hou~!?"

Amid the exclamation, a group of people in the awning seemed to have been lit by someone, all of them were stationary.

"Yes, it is rumored that the Qinghe Hou will inspect the smooth road plan. A few days ago, the newspaper published that Qinghe Hou had arrived in Liaodong Bay. After inspecting the construction of the Liaodong Seaport, he also climbed the Yan Great Wall with the King of Liao to play. He also reached a leather factory agreement with the King of Liao to invest nearly five million yuan. According to folk speculation, after the inspection, the Marquis would take a carriage and go back to Xianyang on a carriage..."

"That's right. This young master must be the Marquis of Qinghe. Shangjun Road leads directly to Jinyang from Liaodong, and Jinyang is only more than a hundred miles away. The Marquis will definitely use immortal techniques to kill the demon dragon when he goes to Heilongkou to eliminate this great harm!"

"What's the point of standing still? Go to the Heilongkou!"

"It's extreme, it's extreme. If you go late, I'm afraid that the marquis' magic of killing the evil dragon will be lost!"

"Go ahead quickly~"

A group of business travelers or heroes who traveled around the world, almost all had servants and guards. In addition, Zhao was already a tough folk custom, so more than ten people rode horses and swords along the deserted road and headed straight for the Black Dragon's mouth. In a blink of an eye, the front of the Black Tiger Pass became much colder.

The remaining few local mountaineering people and the shopkeepers of the tea shop looked at each other.

"Liao Da, that young man is really... it's Marquis of Qinghe?" Several mountain people were frightened and trembled all over and were almost unable to stand firm.

"It should...it should be no mistake. These merchants traveled to Xianyang and Zhaodi all year round. They would fight Heihu Pass almost every month, so they would definitely not admit their mistakes..." The owner of the tea shop said excitedly.

"Then...what should I do? Should I go and have a look?"

"There are more than twenty miles to Heilongkou here. They all have horses. We can't keep up. Li Erlang runs fast. Go and notify the village chief quickly. Marquis Qinghe comes to kill the evil dragon for us. Be sure to tell the county magistrate. Go and go quickly. Don't delay the road. The rest of the people bring drinking water and dry food to Heilongkou with me. Don't starve the Marquis..."

Although the owner of the tea shop was so scared that he almost wobbled his pants by Chen Xu's guards, he was a person who had opened a store to do business and saw the world. He came to his senses and made arrangements quickly. So the man with a hatchet just now went southeast. The rest of the people were all packed in panic, and then carried a basket and a bamboo basket on his back and rushed toward the direction of the Heilongkou.

"Hey, hey, why have you all gone? Don't you do business?"

At this time, there were also passing business travelers entering and leaving Heihu Pass. Some people were tired of walking and wanted to stop and take a rest, but they found that all the shopkeepers and the shopkeepers and the foot shops had run away.

"Qinghe Hou went to Heilongkou to kill the demon dragon. You can wait and do not miss it..."

A group of people yelled and hurried away, but disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Qinghe Marquis? Kill the demon dragon?"

Passers-by all beat him violently, then abandoned the carriage and followed him like he was chased by a dog.
