Besides, I was driving very fast all the way, and when I arrived at a three-way intersection, I didn't know where I was going. There was a vague road sign ahead, and Shan Shan dismounted to check it out.
Hearing a "boom", Dan Shan turned around and saw the horse staggering a few steps and slowly falling down.
She quickly ran to the horse and saw that its mouth, nose, and eyes were bleeding everywhere. The horse twitched several times and finally died.
Dan Shan wiped away her tears: "Qianli Ma, Qianli Ju, it was I who killed you. You ran for two days and two nights without ever resting. You were exhausted. It was all me who exhausted you to death..."
She took off the baggage and sword from the horse, took out the cloak given by Wei Xiaocheng and put it on the horse, put the gold bars given by Zhang Zhiguang into her arms, put all the silver coins under the horse's head, and murmured to herself: " Chollima, I can't accompany you anymore, I'll leave all my silver to you and see if any kindhearted person can bury you for me." After saying that, he slowly stood up and reluctantly walked towards the left branch.
Qiu Yunlong realized that the saint was missing and roared loudly: "Zhang Zhiguang, Zhang Zhiwei, how dare you let the saint go."
Zhang Zhiguang: "We did not let the saint go, she wanted to go on her own."
Qiu Yunlong: "You still dare to quibble. I sent people to chase her for three days, but I couldn't catch her. Could it be that she has wings? It must be you who sent the thousand-mile horse to her." Turning to King Nanzhao, "Your Majesty, you can't protect your shortcomings. "
King Nanzhao: "Zhang Zhiguang, what's going on? Tell the truth?"
Zhang Zhiguang remained silent.
Zhang Zhiwei: "That's right, this has nothing to do with Zhang Zhiguang. When we went to see the Saint, she was going to die. Everyone knew this. Later, I agreed to help her go to Xiliao City. Unexpectedly, only three She will be cured by God. Hey, Imperial Master, I saved your daughter's life, and you blame me on the other hand, how do you make sense?"
King Nanzhao: "Zhang Zhiwei, you don't need to take it upon yourself. Zhang Zhiguang, didn't you participate? Where is your Qianliju?"
Zhang Zhiguang: "Me? Oh, yes. I participated. I think the words of the national master are God's will, but the words of the saint cannot be violated. We dare not disobey whatever the saint asks us to do!"
The King of Nanzhao had no choice but to say: "Come here, take Zhang Zhiguang and Zhang Zhiwei out and beat them with fifty imperial sticks each as a warning to others."
Wei Xiaocheng dressed up as a civil servant and went out: "Your Majesty, according to the law, fifty imperial rods is considered a near-death penalty. The guilt and innocence of Zhang Zhiguang and Zhang Zhiwei are somewhere in between, so this severe punishment cannot be used."
King Nanzhao: "In your opinion, what should we do?"
Wei Xiaocheng: "According to the law, this is an offense, not a crime. The highest imperial staff cannot exceed twenty."
King Nanzhao: "Okay, as you said, I will pull Zhang Zhiguang and Zhang Zhiwei out and give them twenty imperial sticks each. Let's see who dares to be good at it in the future."
Zhang Zhiguang and Zhang Zhiwei were pulled out of the palace by the guards.
Qiu Yunlong: "Hit, hit, hit me hard until you die."
…
Besides, I abandoned my horse and walked alone, finding a small shop to make tips.
The waiter came forward and said, "Sir, what do you want to eat?"
Shan Dan: "Prepare some dry food cakes and a bowl of rice for me. Anything else."
Waiter: "Okay -" I want to leave.
Shan Shan grabbed the waiter and asked, "Excuse me, is there a place nearby where I can buy horses?"
Waiter: "Yes, yes, yes. Look, after turning a corner, there is a market. There are all kinds of animals there."
Shan Dan: "Okay, thanks."
After Shan Shan sat down, the waiter brought the food and Shan Shan devoured it all. She took out the gold bars and said, "Boy, give me some silver coins."
The waiter in the shop weighed the gold bars and said with a sad look on his face: "Sir, the profit in this small shop is small, but I really can't find any."
He simply bit off a corner of the gold bar and put it on the table: "Is that enough?" He picked up the baggage and sword and stood up to leave.
The shop clerk was stunned as he held up the gold nuggets.
Just looking left and right looking for a good horse. She saw a mule, tall and mighty, and stepped forward.
Seller: "Sir, you have good eyesight. This mule of mine is one of the best in a hundred."
Shan Dan: "Why do you call a horse a mule? This is obviously a horse."
Seller: "Yes, yes, it's a horse. It's a big horse. It works more than a horse, eats less than a horse, and has more strength."
Shan Dan: "Okay, that's it." He took out the gold bar and said, "Look for it."
Seller: "Uncle, please spare me. I will never be able to find these in my lifetime."
Just bite off a piece of the gold bar and hand it to the seller.
Seller: "You can't find it either."
Shan Dan: "No need to look for it, you can give me a saddle."
The seller's hands were shaking: "Yes, yes. Thank you, uncle. I will do it right now."
Someone has been eyeing Shan Dan in the market. A man with a scar on his face and a torn bamboo hat has been following Shan Dan in and out since then.
This is an ordinary farmhouse in the countryside, with a yard, stacks of rice straw, and smoke coming from the chimney.
The door was ajar, and Wang Naner, who was in his forties, was cooking at home.
Just walked outside the yard and knocked on the door: "Is there anyone there? Is there anyone there?"
Wang Naner walked out: "Excuse me?"
Shan Dan: "I'm passing through and want to stay here for one night. I'll pay for the food, okay?"
Wang Naner hesitated for a moment: "Please come in."
Shan Dan handed the reins to Wang Naner and said, "You feed my horse well. I have to walk a long distance tomorrow."
Wang Naner: "Okay."
Inside the house, the voice of Wang Nan'er's mother said: "A'er, who are you talking to?"
Wang Naner: "Oh, he's a passerby staying overnight."
Inside the house, Wang Nan's mother was nagging: "Borrowing? I don't have a place to sleep. I'm hungry. Please give me something to eat."
Wang Naner: "Come right now." He turned to Shan Dan and said, "Girl, wait a moment, I'll go into the house to clean up, and tidy up my mother."
Shan Shan was pacing outside the yard. After a while, Wang Naner came back and said, "Girl, please come in."
Shan Dan entered the house under the guidance of Wang Naner.
The house is not big, but it is neat and tidy.
Wang Nan'er: "I'll feed your horse."
Just nod.
After a while, Wang Naner came back: "Young lady, are you hungry? I'll serve you some food."
Shan Dan: "You are so strange. I am clearly a man, and you call me "girly" or "girly" on the left or right. What do you mean?"
Wang Naner said "Oh": "I'm sorry, girl, I just rely on my intuition."
Just seeing his serious look, he laughed out loud: "You are an interesting person. I have traveled almost a thousand miles and no one has ever recognized me as a woman disguised as a man. How did you know that?"
Wang Naner: "It's nothing, just intuition. The girl has never traveled far before, right?"
Shan Dan: "Why did I let you see it again!"
Wang Naner: "Intuition, just intuition."
Shan Dan: "Then how much consciousness do you still have? What else can you see?"
Wang Naner: "Let me tell you, the girl has been targeted. Could it be that she has gold and silver on her that has been discovered?"
Shan Shan became alert and drew his sword out of its sheath: "How do you know so much?"
Wang Naner: "Girl, based on my intuition, women walk differently from men and have different voices, so I conclude that you are a woman. Secondly, the horse the girl is riding on must have been bought at the market today. Although this thing looks different, It looks like a good horse, and it is tall, but it is actually a mule. Mules can only work, but they cannot walk fast. There are many kinds of horses. It is difficult for a working horse to run for a long time. Only a horse galloping on the battlefield can move. Not to mention the girl. We have to travel a long way, and you will know in just one day tomorrow. Thirdly, the reason why I concluded that the girl has gold and silver treasures is because when I was feeding the mules, I found that the girl has been followed, so I concluded that the girl's wealth has been exposed. "
Shan Dan nodded: "No wonder this horse can't run. So what should we do now?"
Wang Nan'er: "Don't worry, girl, I, Wang Nan'er, am known as my magical power, and no one in my territory dares to act arrogantly."
Just say thank you.
Wang Nan'er served the food: "Well, it's fate that you and I know each other. I'll go to the market immediately and exchange the mule for a good horse so that you can travel tomorrow."
Shan Dan nodded, Wang Naner went out of the house, chased Dan Dan out, took out the gold bars from his body and said, "You exchange it for silver, so as not to attract anyone's attention."
Wang Naner smiled and shook his head: "Girl, you have learned another trick, don't forget to worship me as your teacher."
Shan Shan felt deeply ashamed and went back home to eat.
In the dead of night, Wang Naner meditated in the outer room and fell asleep soundly in the inner room alone. A figure flashed past, and Wang Naner shouted: "Bold thief, how dare you take advantage of my guest." The black shadow fled.
