Yixiao Huangquan's movements are full of heroic spirit. His eyes are as sharp as an owl in the dark night. He can clearly capture the traces of everyone nearby in the dark night, so he can control dozens of servants with ease. , let them act in unison and advance and retreat in an orderly manner.
When Bai Feng saw that the "bandits" had received the money and food, they no longer threatened them and disappeared without a trace. She immediately returned to the carriage she was driving and found that half a day's rations were left behind, which was just enough to support the four of them. Arrive at Woye Town.
The young swordsman felt incredible and thought to himself: "How could there be such a morally abiding 'evil bandit' in this world?"
Perhaps just as the government and Taiping Road posted wanted notices everywhere to slander Bai Feng and Murong Yan, "Yixiao Huangquan" is actually not an ordinary gangster, but a righteous man.
Soon, the four of them set off again, frightened along the way.
The manic cold wind blew in front of the carriage, and the two corner lamps hanging in front of the carriage could only illuminate a corner. The turbid halo swayed with the wind, reflecting the looming road in front of and behind the carriage.
If you want to see farther away, you must first go there before you can do so. Contrary to the grassland during the day, the wilderness at night is full of invisible high walls. Behind every high wall, there may be a crisis.
Shrouded in the endless darkness, ordinary haystacks may become huge risks that hinder the smooth progress of the carriage.
Things hiding in the darkness dance rustlingly in the north wind; the wind blows the waves in the grass, providing shelter for animals looking for food at night; the heavy sound of horse hooves scares them into fleeing immediately. Throughout the night, Bai Feng and the others spent the entire night in an extremely depressing and difficult environment.
At night, the only thing that is clear is the bright stars in the sky. Thanks to them, confused people are not completely lost.
It would be inappropriate to say that the bad environment did not have the slightest impact on the travelers' mood. However, in reality, Murong Yan and Zichai spent more than half of their thoughts just talking about Yixiao Huangquan's deeds. The rest of the time was spent humming little songs and lying around in a half-asleep state. The view from the window.
"How could there be such stupid robbers and bandits who ask others for something and still politely ask for it?"
"Perhaps turning grass into bandits was not their original intention?"
Hearing the greetings between the two girls in the carriage, Su Qing couldn't help but blurt out: "Two eldest ladies, are you hoping to let the robbers rob you? Or do you want to see me? How many people can Brother Bai and I deal with at one time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, half of Su Qing's face suddenly popped out from the curtain behind Su Qing, and he asked cautiously: "Sir, how many of you can you beat away?"
"If you and Miss Murong were caught, none of us would be able to escape. So be lucky! If Yixiao Huangquan was the 'King of the Mountain', you would have been carried back to the village on your back and become the wife of the village! Hahaha …”
After hearing this, Zi Chai wished she could punch him while he was driving, so she could only stretch out her finger and poke Su Qing's spine with hatred, and said coquettishly: "We were kidnapped to be the wife of Yazhai, are you happy? "
Su Qing struggled painfully, looked back and snickered: "I was so scared that I almost peed my pants, now you can't even make me smile?"
"Ha, ha, ha." Zi Chai imitated Su Qing and opened her mouth exaggeratedly, but her laughter seemed unusually stiff. Then, she returned to the carriage and held hands with Murong Yan, leaning against each other, trying not to let the heat escape as much as possible, and gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
You can't be impatient when traveling at night, so they didn't move very fast. Although they didn't cover much distance, they still spent the night peacefully. Traveling to the next morning, when the night finally passed, they just resumed their usual efficiency and began to move at full speed towards their destination.
The blue sky began to appear, and everything was quiet. In a trance, it seemed like they were the only ones left in the world.
The sun refracted through the white clouds and illuminated the earth again. The hardships surrounded by darkness were eliminated in an instant, leaving only a vast green sea.
They were both chasing and escaping. At this moment, there was no difference between the two. It is not their style to sit still and wait for death, and sleeping in the open air has long become a habit.
After going through untold hardships, they finally left the area of Huaishuo Town. So they stopped the carriage and planned to have a good rest by the road.
While Su Qing stayed in the temporary camp to rest for a while, Bai Feng took the other two girls to a high slope to get some fresh air and check the road conditions ahead.
As expected, there was a settlement thirty miles away, one of the herdsmen's settlements.
Bai Feng held the map and was excited. He pointed forward and said, "Look! That's the settlement of the Hu people. In three more days of burning incense, we can reach Woye Town!"
"It looks like this is a big tribe, almost like a small city!" Zi Chai immediately responded: "I really want to take a look there!"
Murong Yan smiled and said: "Ha, yes, why don't we go there first to find out the news about Woye Town?"
"Okay, it's really inappropriate to rush into the town." After Bai Feng said that, he took the two girls back to the camp and immediately urged Su Qing to get up and drive on the road.
The settlement in front seems to have been transformed from a military camp. The wooden fence is very tall and there is a horse guard not far from the door. After some understanding, they learned that this place was a place to help herdsmen do business. Merchants from Woye Town would come here to purchase various cattle and sheep products and hire young and strong people to do work.
Many traveling merchants would stay here for repairs. By chance, Bai Feng and the other four also met a group of foreign merchants.
They claimed to be from the Western Regions and wanted to exchange jewelry for silk from the Central Plains and then return home to sell it at a high price.
"This is not the first time we have come to the Central Plains. The last time we came here, we encountered a battle between two armies. There were 20,000 soldiers and civilians trying to fight for this place as a fortress." This middle-aged man with blond curly hair He danced and described the scene that day: "Many people ran away with their families, but we can't run away, our goods are still here!"
It is indeed a kind of fate to meet this interesting businessman by chance. Bai Feng and Su Qing came to the settlement on horseback and were about to find a post station or inn to rest when they happened to see this Western Region businessman unloading goods in front of an inn.
Su Qing's keen intuition told him that this guy with golden hair must know a lot of things, so he immediately handed over the carriage and horses to Bai Feng, and went to chat with him first.
"My name is Apollos, sir, what is your name?"
"Excuse me, Su Qing."
"Oh..." Seeing that the young master in front of him was mysterious, Apollos calmed down unconsciously, stroked his long beard, spoke in Chinese with a strong accent, and replied: "Young Master Su, What do you want to know?"
Su Qing followed the topic just now and asked with interest: "Do you think those herdsmen will come back after they leave?"
"Of course, this is their home. Even if they escape to the ends of the world, they can always find their way home!"
"But I heard that herdsmen are nostalgic, aren't they?"
"Mr. Su, you don't understand this! Who wouldn't want to live and work in peace and contentment? If I could make money sitting at home, I would never spend half my life running around."
"Yeah! You're right..." After a few words, Su Qing seemed to have made a new friend. He hooked up with Apollos, went to the inn, drank some tea, and continued to talk about something. matter.
