Chapter 670 The journey is far, far away

The sun shines brightly in the east, and the morning light pours down from the gaps of the clouds, reflecting the golden ripples in the desert.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the old donkey excitedly stepped on the bonfire left by the smoke last night, and woke everyone up to set off for a long journey. The four scholars yawned and stretched. Lu Liangsheng moved his muscles and bones, narrowed his eyes and looked at the golden sunshine. When he turned around, he found that in the small door of the bookshelf, the master's head was sitting cross-legged on the small bed with a bandage on his chin.

"Master, after breakfast, I'll set off again, or..."

"No!" Taoist Toad reached out and grabbed the small door, closed it, and the four people looked over there, and looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally fell on Lu Liangsheng. The latter smiled and shook his head, took out the steamed buns he had bought in Karabusa and gave them, "It's better to eat while walking on the road."

When they were out, the four of them were all weathered and it was common for them to have a meal. After taking the "Butterbread" and packing the pots and bowls in their arms and legs, Lu Liangsheng put his bookshelf, looked up at the rising sun, pulled up the old donkey, and greeted everyone on the road, passing through the storm and sand, and following the next city marked on the sheepskin map.

On the way north, I would occasionally take out the golden hair in my sleeves and try to recite Sun Wukong's name silently, but unfortunately I was too far away to be grateful for it.

It is not impossible to rely on the old donkey to run all the way, but there are four scholars behind him who can't take it. Moreover, with the other party's physique, I guess it would be impossible to run a few miles away.

‘It seems that you can only rely on magic to rush the road, and it’s good to walk back.’

Thinking of this, Lu Liangsheng rode on the back of the donkey and looked up at the skylight. The golden morning sun passed through the gaps of the clouds. The sea extending to the east. Among the undulating waves, a fish tail swayed as water splashed. A swimming figure rushed out of the sea, jumped to a nearby reef, and looked around in the sunshine.

If Lu Liangsheng were here, he would definitely recognize this as the mermaid he threw into the sea.

"grumble?"

On the reef, the mermaid looked at the familiar white sails gradually showing her face, and a light clutch came along the shallow water. The mermaid sitting on the reef raised her arms and waved her hard twice. However, the sailors on the clutch were rowing two rows of slurry, and no one noticed the figure waving on the reef in the distance, and with the sound of a trumpet, he quickly passed.

The mermaid on the reef was a little puzzled, why the people here ignored her?

The fast ship that was leaving was carrying the latest information about Karabusa. It was to be transmitted to Constantine, and there would also be a warning message to nearby cities along the way: a group of people from the East killed Tibis, the governor of Karabusa, and were heading towards Cairo at this time, and it was very likely that they would cross the Mediterranean to Constantine.

The coastal posters received the news that they had been thrown ashore and rushed to nearby towns as quickly as possible. For a moment, horse hooves were heard everywhere in the streets, horses were coming and going, and the army also moved when they received the governor's order. According to the description on the message, they searched everywhere for travelers, hotels, and taverns with similar appearances and costumes.

Boom-

In the fields outside the city, thousands of cavalrymen rushed to track down the passing vendors along the jurisdiction of their respective towns, and even took the opportunity to blackmail them.

"drive!"

"Let's go here and go over the hill ahead to take a look."

A team of cavalry rushed across the road, and as a few low palm branches and leaves swayed, several figures suddenly appeared. Four scholar-like people put down the palm leaves, and a donkey chewed on the hay, followed by a head and looked at the cavalry that was moving away. They were pressed back by the hand that came from beside them.

"Go away."

Lu Liangsheng removed his eyes and called on the four people behind to leave. He went north and naturally noticed the changes. In this era, no matter where, roads, rivers, and sea are important channels for transmitting messages. If there is any error, you can clearly smell clues.

On the way that followed, Lu Liangsheng cast a spell to change his appearance with four scholars. He seemed to have not changed, but for outsiders, it was no different from the ordinary races here.

"Go over there and take a rest."

After walking with magic for a whole morning, Lu Liangsheng didn't feel anything, and the four scholars behind him were very tired. When he heard the national master's speech, he hurried to a palm branches and straw shed on the side of the road. This place was not like the Central Plains store, with no shops to take care of, and no tea or snacks. It was empty, only the leaves laid by the people who had been in front of the ground.

The hot wind was gentle, and the sand made the people dry. There were many businessmen leading camel caravans on this road. Occasionally, some people would come in to rest for a while, drink some water and eat some dry food, and sit together and distance themselves from others, whispering their experiences.

"The gods are above. I heard that the governor of Karabusa was killed. The governor here is particularly sensitive and sent people to search the murderer everywhere. I don't know if he has been caught."

"It's hard to catch the murderer. I heard that it was from the East. In the stories passed down by our ancestors, there were devils in the East. They once picked up butcher knives and almost slaughtered all the creatures on this land, bewitching people's hearts and let everyone follow them to kill and set fire and plunder everything."

"These are only five people, and there is a donkey, it's not as terrible as you said."

"Only the gods know everything."

The overwhelming arrest and investigation unfolded, and the Governor of the City was killed on his bed, which was a great shame. In the first news from the residence, the first guard to rush into the Governor's bedroom saw a man exactly like Tibis, holding the Governor's favorite dagger inlaid with a red gem, assassinating him, and then turned into a wisp of blue smoke. He didn't believe much at first, but the head of the Governor's residence, who was ordered to chase him back from outside with injuries. One of his arm was broken, his eyes were blinded, and his body was covered in blood. He vowed to testify calmly that the painter from the East was the murderer and would draw the devil from the painting.

As soon as the news came out, from Karabusa to Cairo, Egypt, it had caused a sensation. No one in the city, from nobles to civilians, wanted to encounter such a devil, and spontaneously assisted the guards to pay attention to the Eastern Confucian.

The heat continued. Lu Liangsheng, who had been resting on the roadside for a while, used his eyes to indicate that the four scholars should almost leave. He led the old donkey tied outside and returned to the road. In the shaking bookshelf, Taoist Toad slightly opened a gap in the small door, opened his short jacket and exposed his round belly, and slapped a small palm-leaf fan.

"Longsheng, don't worry, I was so excited when I was chased by someone back then, but when I got here, I didn't even mention it."

"Haha, Master, this is not a good thing. Besides, haven't you been staying in the bookshelf all the time?"

Lu Liangsheng turned around and said with a smile, after taking a sip of cold water, he hurriedly left this place. Unfortunately, he couldn't enjoy the excitement of visiting here and seeing other cities.

As for the army that was being investigated, the scholar was not worried about blocking him, and he didn't want to kill too many soldiers. Although they were foreigners, they were just doing their orders. Unlike before, he gave Daer and others a chance to stop, the other party still waved his sword to kill him.

The sky was tilted, and after avoiding the crowded road, I walked across the river called the Nile River and looked at the towering buildings in the desert from afar. The First Emperor said that these were piles of tombs, and there was a tone of contempt in his words. After all, the grave was placed outside, and he was not afraid of thieves' concern.

After seeing the scenery here, the city named Cairo was already behind him. Following the route on the Sheepskin Picture, the sea in the northern land of the land of the priest was Constant Dante, and to the east was the nearest road to the east.

But that is another country - Sassanid Persia.

The sun sets.

Standing on a hillside between the two countries, Lu Liangsheng looked at the endless land, grasslands, forests, and undulating mountains ahead, and couldn't help but sigh for the first time.
