Chapter 58: Loess Dusk Meets Horse Bandits
On the moonlit night, the moon is very hazy, like a beautiful girl wearing a gauze but shrouded in a mist. In a ravine ravine a little far from Anhua City, the shady mountains separate the world from the world.
In the tent, Lu Jiu's face looked gloomy and sunny with the jumping flames.
"Are you sure the poison on your body is fine?"
Lu Leye crawled on the mattress, and the wound on his butt had been sewn by the caravan doctor, so the problem was not big.
"Hasn't you investigated me? Don't forget that I have been in the Five Poisons Cult for more than a year, and these poisons cannot kill me. We left Anhua City overnight, but after all, three lives were killed. Will there be any trouble in this matter?" Lu Lele didn't know what happened, but the indifferent face of the little beggar killer always appeared in front of us.
"A group of shameful killers are just looking for some reasons and fool them. As long as you are willing to spend money, there is nothing to be able to deal with." Lu Jiu was like saying something trivial.
"Amil's place is fine. When I cut off the little beggar's head, she fainted." Lu LeLe asked apologetically.
"I'll leave for a while. If Lu is gone, you can make such a big leak!" Lu Jiu did not answer Lu Lele's question and stared at him angrily.
"Hehe! I thought Emil was just your new favorite maid, so I didn't expect her to be assassinated." Lu Lele decided to pretend that he didn't know anything.
"Get out! The road is over! You should stop acting in front of me." Lu Jiu said angrily.
"Wang Liuli! You pulled me onto the pirate ship and told me nothing. Don't you think it's too much?" I was too lazy to pretend.
"I won't tell you, it's for your own good, so as not to know how you die at that time." Lu Jiu said angrily.
"If you don't say it, just let me guess.
Emil, the Hu princess, is not a simple concubine. It is probably the secret spy that Master Yang is standing next to him, right?" Lu Lili looked at Lu Jiu with a smile, but Lu Jiu turned his head and was too lazy to look at him.
"Hey! Let's see who the opponent of Lord Yang is. Logically speaking, Lord Yang's biggest opponent is Lord Li Linfu, the powerful prime minister who suppressed him. But Lord Li has a group of Hu generals promoted by him, such as Gao Xianzhi, An Lushan. These Hu generals all hold heavy troops and can fight well. There are Wang Hui and a group of shrewd and capable civil officials. Even the saints are a little afraid of him, and he probably doesn't take Lord Yang as he stands up with his sister.
Lord Yang was promoted by the emperor to divide the power of Lord Li Linfu, who was in power. Lord Li was powerful and Lord Yang did not dare to provoke him easily, so he put his ideas on the governor of Fan Yang and sued him for rebellion without any reason.
The crime of treason was too great, so Lord An could not sit still. He didn't know what other tricks this Lord Yang, who was favored by the emperor, had, so he arranged a secret spy like Emil to be by his side. Only he could arrange a Hu princess so conveniently.
Everyone knew in their hearts that the irreconcilable quarrels in the court were just to show the wise and wise priest in the deep palace. In private, they made their own wealth and became their own officials. Therefore, they have been in peace over the years, and Emil couldn't find any earth-shaking news.
What does Emil's bizarre disappearance mean? It means that she has heard the news that it is possible to break this balance. Although your Wang family claims to be rich and can't compete with the country, and you are involved in these things, you are not afraid of disasters falling from the sky, and your family will be destroyed and your people will die?"
After Lu Lili finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jiu with a smile.
Lu Jiu took out a folding fan and slapped him hard on the wound on Lu Li's butt: "You are the ones who are the ones who are so smart in this world! Lord An Lushan's old man was a tooth in the West City Yaxing in his early years and had a close relationship with my father. My eighth sister Wang Shanhu also made An Qingxu his second son as a concubine since childhood. Can I help him if my Wang family can do it?
Besides, the relationship between the powerful and wealthy people in the capital is intricate and difficult to understand. It is not so easy for my Wang family to get out of here."
"Wang Liuli! You woman is so cruel. You dare to slap me in the butt, but you even greet me on the wound!" Lu Lelai was so angry that he almost jumped up.
"This is to teach you a lesson." Lu Jiu laughed proudly.
"Laugh! You're still laughing. Do you know that the road ahead is not so easy to walk?" Lu Lilai said angrily.
"It's easy to leave, why are you going to do?" After Lu Jiu said that, he left without caring about how Lu Li reacted.
"I have long said that you have insufficient experience in the world, and you don't call me if you act as a hero in front of a beautiful woman. I feel so good if you get a knife on the butt and get poisoned? When I go back, I will tell my elder sister in a singular way."
Not long after Lu Jiu left, Ning Jiao and the other three entered the tent again.
"Oh," Boss Hu sighed: "After accompanying the caravan, I have to pay a hundred taels of silver. After going to the street like this several times, I have to pay even my old job. Do you want to tell the young lady everything about the injury this time?"
"Are you here to visit me for my injury or threaten me?" Lu LeLe looked at the three guys hatefully.
"I didn't say anything." Zhou Liuzi raised his hands.
Lu LeLe looked at Boss Hu with fierce eyes, and Boss Hu lowered his head.
"Xiao Ning teaches me, if I say you were taken to the brothel by Boss Hu to a brothel to drink wine on the way, what would you do if Lan'er heard it?" Lu Lili smiled gloomyly.
Ning Jiao glanced at Lu contemptuously: "Lan'er won't believe your slander. Besides, do you think everyone is like you, so afraid of your wife?"
The caravan crossed the Yellow River, and there was no green and green before his eyes, and it was empty and distant. The basin was gone. A hill of loess raised up on the sunken land. The loess became thicker and thicker, and piled higher and higher. It accumulated into a mound, piled into beams, and piled into large plateaus, all full of shocking yellowish yellow.
As the convoy and horses passed by, yellow dust rose all over the sky, floating, covering the entire convoy in the yellow fog everywhere.
"Walk on the main road, don't walk on the small road. There are many people on the main road, and don't drink the worries. You stay in the big store, don't stay in the small store. There are many thieves in the small store, worry about stealing you. You sleep in the middle, don't sleep on both sides. Worry about the poacher, dig in front of you. Drink water, drink long flowing water, don't drink spring water. Snakes swaying tails in the spring water, worry about drinking you. The green forest is in the green forest, worry about the sweating pill, "
A hoarse and desolate voice in the distance roared at this folk song on the Northwest Road.
Except for the dull sound of horse hooves and monotonous sound of wheels, almost no one in the convoy spoke. Everyone's heart was heavy, as if a stone was pressed down.
Beside a sparse forest, the caravan stopped and camped early. Following the advice of the road, they surrounded the big carts in the circle these days and nights, and the people were left in the middle of the circle. After a few days, the caravan slowly began to adapt to this camping method.
At dusk, the loess, and the moon that sneaked out seemed to have been dyed yellow.
The dead branches on the fire made a "crackling" sound, and bright flames jumped on her body, driving away the cold air around her without a trace. Emil sat alone next to the fire, picked up a dead branch and threw it into the fire, watching it burn vigorously, and the flames made her face look charming red, so beautiful that it dared not look directly at it.
The way was already wearing a tight-fitting guard uniform. Qiu Shui, the long sword hanging on his waist, patrolled the circular formation formed by the big cart, muttered a few words to Lu Jiu, walked to Emil and sat down silently.
"The holy fire can purify all filth in the world, including human body and soul. I don't know if I can be purified by the holy fire after I die." Emil looked at the fire with a steady look, as if muttering to himself.
"You are living well, how can you talk about life and death easily?" Lu LeLe said depressedly.
"People always die, don't they?" Emil said quietly.
"But you have to work hard to survive, right? There are too many people and things in this world that have not been experienced, and too many scenery has not been appreciated. You always have to die slowly without regrets in your heart before you can feel at ease." Lu Lelai looked at a dead branch turning into ashes and said quietly.
"But this person is so tired and tired in life. How many people can be as lucky as you said?" Emil looked at the beating flames, with no anger in his eyes.
"A monk who was reluctant to leave in my house saw me sighing and complaining about being so tired all day long, so he told me a Buddhist story. A middle-aged man went to see the monk master one day and said that he was so tired when he was alive. The old monk didn't say anything, so he gave the middle-aged man a basket and let him walk into the illusion, saying that he would put it in the basket when he saw something he liked. In the end, the middle-aged man never came out again.
I understand the meaning of this story, which means that when a person is born with nothing, he will naturally be extremely relaxed. When he grows up, he wants more things and bears more things, so how can he not be tired?
I knocked my backhand hard on the monk's bald head. You said that a person's life is so short, and he doesn't even look at the things he likes. What fun is there in life? Although I become tired, at least the moment when we grasp the thing we love, we are very happy and satisfied, right?"
Lu Li glanced at the direction of Chang'an and smiled slightly.
When Emil laughed when he heard Lu Leye say that he hit the monk with his backhand, he laughed and let out a long sigh.
"The little monk made a mistake. In fact, people are limited when they are born, so where is there any ease? You are the son of a farmer, and you are limited to the farmer's life circle, and you have to farm. Your origin is destined to live and bear the responsibility."
"At least our hearts are still free. Amir, don't you yearn for life?" Lu LeLe asked.
"The blue sky, white clouds, and endless grasslands. If I could gallop and sing in my dream hometown, I would be satisfied even if I turned into ashes like this dead branch." Emil murmured at the distant sky.
A dense sound of horse hooves came into my ears, and the ground was shaken slightly. The whistle detective arranged on the big tree next to the camp blew a shrill whistle, slid down from the tree quickly, and rushed into the caravan chariot formation.
The escort captain of the Chamber of Commerce was a veteran of war who had retreated from the army. His weather-beaten face was not at all panic. He was ordered to take the crossbow machine in an orderly manner, and the strong driver raised a long wooden pole at the door, and a sharp iron spear was inserted into the head of the pole.
Seeing Boss Hu standing in the long-haired team, his legs trembling and trembling. Lu Lelai rushed forward and kicked hard on his butt, cursing unhappily: "You have thrown away all the faces of the water bandits. If you look like a bear, you will throw you out."
Nearly two hundred horse bandits in messy clothes flew to the caravan nearly fifty steps and slowly stopped.
