Since Swallow was released, she has been very honest around Li Ming these days. After the troops walked out of the Hu situation, she followed Li Ming with those team members and came to the Tang Dynasty. Although the acupuncture point on her body had long been untied, she seemed to have no intention of leaving. However, after Li Ming left, leaving such a female assassin with great martial arts here, which made Li Ming very uneasy. Except for Lin Long, no one was her opponent. If she wanted to maliciously take the supplies of these 200 trucks, the remaining people would probably not be able to stop her. Therefore, Li Ming wanted to send Swallow away before leaving.

Swallow walked into the tent, sat casually on the chair beside Li Ming, picked up an apple in front of him and took a bite, then stared at his cute big eyes and asked, "What did Brother Li ask me for? Is there anything fun? Tell me out quickly." Speaking of this, the dimples on her round face began to appear, making Swallow even more adorable.

Li Ming smiled bitterly, leaned back slightly, avoiding the face of Yan Zi coming, and said, "Swallow, you have never told me your true identity forever, which makes me curious about you. However, now we are going to part ways, I will be home, so from now on you are free and you can go anywhere. The place of Datang is vast and beautiful, and I believe you will like it. I have a thousand taels of gold here, enough for you to spend a while. If you need any help in the future, just go to Biquan Island to find me." Speaking of this, he clapped his hands, called in a few guards holding the 1,000 taels of gold outside the tent, and then said, "Swallow, take these golds. In the place of Datang, you can do whatever you want if you have money."

Yanzi seemed to be stunned. She looked at Li Ming blankly, as if she had not reacted to his words for a moment, but in a short while, she seemed to tremble for a moment, and then Yi Xing's tears slid down his face from afar. At the same time, a look of grief appeared in his eyes.

"You hate me, are you going to fuck me away? Are you?" Yan Zi's lips trembled for a long time before barely squeezing out a sentence. Then, she suddenly stood up, knocked the tray handed to her to the ground, ran out quickly, and shouted while running: "I hate you! You disappoint me so much. I will never see you again in my life!" The voice became farther and farther, weaker and weaker, until it finally disappeared into Li Ming's ears.

Li Ming frowned and looked at Lin Long with a strange look, but saw Lin Long looking at him with a strange look. This made him feel funny. He really couldn't understand the little girl Yan Zi. He didn't have any excessive things just now, but why did she get angry? Li Ming really couldn't figure it out.

But no matter what, Yan Zi finally left, and a big stone in Li Ming's heart finally fell to the ground. Next, it was time to make some necessary preparations.

Li Ming stayed in the camp for another three days. After all the matter was arranged, Lin Long and his wife brought a Type 95 rifle. He left the camp at dusk and sneaked into the deep mountains and dense forests on the side of Mingyang City in the sunset.

Although the snow in the deep mountains and dense forests was very thick, it had no effect on Li Ming and Lin Long. They were like arrows away from the string, quickly traveling through the dense forest, and before the sun set, they reached the cliff at the end of the dense forest.

The night gradually enveloped, and the towering cliff seemed gloomy and terrifying in the darkness. It was impossible to see the top at first sight. Standing under the cliff, Li Ming felt that he was so small. Even though he had great confidence in his light skills, he still felt a little uneasy.

Lin Long quietly reached out his hand, held Li Ming's hand tightly, and comforted in a low voice: "Brother, don't be too nervous. Although the cliff in front of him is high, it is still not a problem with your lightness skills. You must have confidence. During the climbing process, you must make full use of the protruding rocks and use the rocks as the starting point for your leap. Didn't you practice this way when you were on Biquan Island before? Just do it like that. Although the cliff in front of you is higher than Biquan Island, the basic method is the same. Brother, on such a high cliff, even if your father comes, he can only protect himself, but he has no time to take care of you. You understand? So I hope you can concentrate and not make any mistakes. Otherwise, I may sacrifice myself to save you. You must not want me to do this, so do it well, do it, do it?"

Hearing Lin Long's words, a heat surged in Li Ming's heart. He held Lin Long's hand tightly and said, "Don't worry, Long'er, I will definitely be able to climb up. Wouldn't I still carry a long rope? Then we can help each other. There will definitely be no problem. Let's go."

Lin Long nodded and jumped to take the lead, but heard a clatter in the woods behind him, and a figure appeared quickly beside them. The speed seemed to be no less than Lin Long. Li Ming and Lin Long were both very nervous. At the same time, they turned their heads and were about to take action, but they heard the sweet voice sounded at the right time: "I knew you would do this, want to throw me away, but there was no door. How could you leave such a fun thing behind me? Brother Li, you are so cruel." Yan Zi was wearing a white tights and was standing beside them with a smile and looking at them.

Li Ming immediately smiled bitterly, exchanged glances with Lin Long helplessly, and said, "Swallow, I have serious things now and don't have time to play with you. You should go by yourself. Although your light skills are better than mine, the cliff in front of you is not that fun. Therefore, you should leave here quickly and not affect my serious things."

Yan Zi smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Li, I find that you always underestimate me. What is the cliff in front of you? It's a piece of cake to me. If you don't believe me, I will climb up to show you. Brother, I'll wait for you on the top of the cliff, don't be too slow." After that, she jumped up and jumped towards the cliff, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Li Ming sighed helplessly and said, "Long'er, let's not bother her, hurry up." After that, he was about to jump up first, but Lin Long stopped her. She walked up, untied the rope that Li Ming wanted to put on, tied it to the waists of the two of them, and then smiled and said, "In this way, even if we share life and death, I can't rest assured that swallow. If she does something on such a steep cliff, we have no choice, so it's better to be careful. Let's go up."

Under Lin Long's leadership, Li Ming followed her and jumped up towards the cliff. Although the cliff was steep, there were always protruding rocks for Li Ming and the others to leverage their strength, so the climbing speed was very fast. When they encountered relatively large stones and platforms, the two of them simply jumped over. In this way, in less than half an hour, the towering cliff was climbed halfway by the two of them.

However, a large protruding rock railing in the middle of this cliff was above the two of them. Even Lin Long could not overcome the obstacle in front of him. The two of them moved behind the protruding rock for a long time, but still couldn't find the way up. They wanted to go down and find another place, but they didn't expect it to be easy to get up and difficult to get up. Li Ming almost failed several times. In this way, the two of them were trapped in this place that was neither up nor down.

Li Ming was sweating anxiously, and suddenly a rope fell in front of him. He was overjoyed and hurriedly looked up and saw swallow's little head poking out from the rock above. At this time, she was looking at Li Ming with a smug look on her face, shaking the rope in her hand and laughing: "How about it, brother, am I faster than you? Sister Lin's martial arts skills are higher than me, but she doesn't seem to be able to come up, hehe, in the end you have to rely on me, come up, hold on to the rope, I'll pull you up."

Li Ming was overjoyed. After grabbing the rope with one hand, his other hand also left the stone he was holding tightly. He grabbed the rope with both hands and climbed up hard. However, he suddenly lost his strength, causing him to fall down under the cliff involuntarily. The swallow above his head screamed, looking at Li Ming who was falling down with a smile on his face, and apologized repeatedly: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I forgot to tell you, I haven't tied the rope yet? Unfortunately, the famous Li Ming died in my hand."

Li Ming was in the air at this time. Hearing the sarcastic sarcasm of the swallows being gloating on them, he couldn't help but make him angry and anxious. He was obviously guarding against her all the way, but he didn't expect that he would fall into her hands. He fell from the cliff hundreds of meters high, and was afraid that no one would be able to escape. Unexpectedly, this place became his burial place. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look in the direction of Lin Long, but found that she was uncovering the rope around her waist with one hand.

Li Ming felt ache in his heart, smiled at her, then closed his eyes, preparing to experience the feeling of his last few seconds of his life, but unexpectedly, the rope around his waist tightened, slowing down his downward momentum, and at the same time, he also hit the cliff next to him heavily. The severe pain made him almost faint, but the instinct for survival made him involuntarily grab a rock beside him. Suddenly, he felt that he had come back from the gate of hell again.

However, before he could breathe a sigh of Lin Long falling down beside him, almost without thinking, Li Ming grabbed the empty hand, and suddenly, a huge force almost broke his fingers that grabbed the rock. However, he held on. Although his entire arm was numb and painful, he still held on, not only for himself, but also for Lin Long who was grasping her other hand.

With the help of Li Ming's grasp, Lin Long got a moment of breathing. She spotted a rock in front of her, swung her body in the air, and quickly grabbed it. Then, she asked Li Ming to let go of his hand.

This short few dozen seconds was so long in the feeling of the two of them that when both of them escaped temporarily, they were like dreams.

Seeing Lin Long sacrificing herself to rescue Li Ming, the swallow lying on the rock changed her face, and her eyes suddenly showed a sharp murderous intent. She shook another rope in her hand. The rope was like a hard spear, stabbing towards Li Ming who was breathing on the cliff like lightning. In a blink of an eye, the rope hit Li Ming's head.

Lin Long, who was below, suddenly jumped into the air and grabbed the rope before it reached Li Ming's head. At the same time, he took the opportunity to use force and with the power of the swallow subconsciously pulling the rope back, he easily flipped on the rock, and then slashed at the swallow with a palm.

Yan Zi's face suddenly changed. She didn't expect that Lin Long could jump onto the rock smoothly with just a little mistake. At the moment, her terrain advantage was lost. Facing the furious Lin Long, she would definitely not be able to get it. Therefore, she dodged past Lin Long's palm and quickly jumped to another rock above her head. At the same time, the rope in her hand quickly threw towards Li Ming, and the rope was like a javelin, shooting at Li Ming quickly.

Lin Long was shocked and didn't care to chase Yan Zi. He hurriedly slapped the rope with a palm, but the soft rope was not under any force. Although it was beaten by the palm wind, it still flew towards Li Ming's head.

Li Ming had already slowed down at this time. When he saw the rope flying towards him quickly, he did not dare to take it head-on, but quickly jumped towards a protruding rock next to him, dodged the rope, and grabbed the rock steadily.

Lin Long suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the rock, and the cold sweat all over his body had soaked his clothes.

With the help of the rope around Li Ming's waist, Lin Long successfully pulled him up to the rock. Then the two of them took a short rest and continued to climb upwards. Finally, nearly an hour later, the two of them climbed to the steep peak.

Following the hillside on the other side, the two of them quickly jumped over the mountain in front of them, thinking about the other peak in front of them and climbed over.

In this way, they crossed five steep peaks in the stretching mountains, and finally arrived on the crowded mountain path the next evening. Following the path, they walked for another night. At noon the next day, they walked out of the continuous mountains and came to a small town. After careful investigation, they were already fifty or sixty kilometers away from Mingyang City.

In the town, the two changed into a relatively ordinary set of clothes, bought two old horses, and after lunch, they rushed towards Zezhou.

Li Ming once walked this road two years ago. Now he is revisiting the old place, and he can't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Unfortunately, this place is now Li Jiao's territory, so he cannot slowly stop in every town he passes by.

After several changes of horses and luggage, and avoiding countless soldiers' interrogations, Li Ming and Lin Long successfully traveled through Zhongzhou, entered Zezhou through country roads and uninhabited areas in swamps.

Although Zezhou is nominally under the jurisdiction of Li Ming, it is actually the frontier position where Li Jiao blocks Li Ming's army. Zezhou, which appeared in front of Li Ming, was no different from his impression two years ago. In front of him, there were still barren fields, dilapidated villages, discarded corpses everywhere, and hungry people with pale and thin faces. In this cold winter, the experience of those hungry people seems to be even more miserable. Almost every time you go to a place, Li Ming can see people frozen to death on the roadside and in the village.

While enduring the impact of this situation on his soul, Li Ming accelerated his pace and wanted to rush back to Biquan Island as soon as possible. Now that he had a quarrel with Li Song, all his concerns were thrown away by him. If he wanted to transport his two hundred trucks of supplies back smoothly, he had to lead a large army to occupy Zezhou and Zhongzhou and break through Mingyang City. In this way, it would be equivalent to indirectly rescuing so many hungry people in Zezhou. This kind of killing two birds with one stone made Li Ming a little impatient.

At the junction of Zezhou and Jiangzhou, Lin Long specially brought Li Ming to the hungry village she had supported. When Lin Long left, there were nearly 20,000 hungry people there. Now, when Lin Long returned here, the place had developed into a small town of nearly 100,000 people, and the head was the person in charge of the Medical God Cult in Zezhou.

After Li Ming rested here for a day, replenished some dry food, he said goodbye to everyone and set off in a hurry. After a day and night of speeding, the two of them finally entered the territory of Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is Li Ming's current base camp. Only when he arrived here did Li Ming feel the feeling of going home. Looking at the busy river, bustling city walls and rich residents, Li Ming was extremely excited. In order to rush back to Biquan Island as soon as possible, he rejected Lin Long's suggestion to take a boat and rode his horse on the paths on both sides of the river. After four days and four nights, the outline of Linbin City finally appeared in front of them.

Linbin City seems more prosperous than when Li Ming left. This important town in Jiangzhou has now become the economic and trade center of the entire Tang Dynasty. Every wide street is filled with merchant caravans and pedestrians with bright clothes. Here, you can no longer see the crowds of beggars in the past. Here, it seems that people have undergone earth-shaking changes overnight. For the soldiers and civilians riding horses on both sides, people respond with kind smiles. The scene of panic after seeing the soldiers and panic seems to be gone.

Looking at the ideal paradise in front of him, Li Ming couldn't help but slow down and slowly turned around every street and alley. The people in front of him showed a very rich expression on their faces. This was exactly the ideal society that Li Ming wanted to pursue. It seems that although Li Ming was not here, his government team was still trying his best to manage the place according to his ideas and policies. Seeing this situation, Li Ming, who was originally anxious, began to calm down, and the prefect who was eager to go to was not anxious. He wanted to slowly experience it here, experience a feeling of satisfaction, and experience a feeling of being a savior. This feeling was something he spared no effort to pursue in the past two years.
