One by one, one snowflake slowly fell from the sky. It looked so beautiful, but it made the road muddy and difficult to walk.

Lu Leye pushed the cart that was trapped in the mud pit several times, but returned unsuccessfully several times. Emil jumped out of the cart, used his very slender arm, and worked hard with Lu Leye, and finally pushed the cart out of the mud pit.

Emil smiled brilliantly, Lu Lele smiled apologetically, and slowly turned his head away.

He could not answer Emil's question that night, nor could he change such a world. The confidence on his face in the past slowly disappeared, and he once again felt his insignificance and his powerlessness.

Besides trying hard to achieve his wish to send Emil back to his hometown to take a look, what could he do? After that night, he was a little afraid to look Emil in front of his eyes.

More than ten days later, they entered Yumen Pass.

Lying on the bed of the inn, looking at the quiet moon in the sky, the twinkling stars in the sky, Lu LeLe didn't know what he was thinking. Emil gently stroked Lu LeLeLe's scar on his arm, plus the one on his butt, the man had already shed a lot of blood for himself.

The wound was gently kissed on his lips, and tears flowed down unscrupulously.

Feeling his arms getting wet, Lu Lili gently stroked Emil's head, as if he didn't notice her crying, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that both of us are too greedy and reckless. We bought too much silk at the beginning. Now the travel expenses are a little tight, so we will deal with some of them tomorrow. I think there is still some profit."

Emil kept nodding and secretly wiped away his tears.

In a shop in the city, Lu Leye put away a bag of copper coins with satisfaction and was about to go to the cart to carry some silk down. However, Emil looked at the Hu merchant and shook his head gently.

"Our businessmen in the Western Regions have always been the most honest. But you, a businessman with a shop and a status, deceived us."

Hu Shang pretended to be ignorant and said in Hu language: "Two pieces of silk, one thousand big money. Your husband has already recognized it, so how can I deceive you?"

"The price is right, but the copper coins you paid him are wrong. We are priced according to the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, but what you paid him is the copper coins donated by the Tuqi. Ten copper coins from the Tang Dynasty can be exchanged for the twelve Tuqi copper coins. Should you make up for our two hundred copper coins?"

Emil looked at the Hu Shang intently. Hu Shang blushed and took out a small bag of copper coins, no more than no more, exactly two hundred.

Emil proudly handed the bag to Lu Lili. Lu Lili did not collect it, but patted her head with admiration: "Not bad, you earn these two hundred copper coins, and it will belong to you."

Emil's face turned red with excitement: "Really? This is the first time I have earned myself in my life."

Lu Lili nodded affirmatively.

Emil took this wealth he had earned for the first time in his life and didn't know where to put it. Finally, he simply tied a rope to his chest, giving way, and shook his head when he saw it.

The sky outside Yumen Pass is so blue, as pure as Emil's eyes. The grass outside the Pass is so silent and desolate, with patches of black and gray grass looking at the sky in despair, begging the spring breeze to bring drizzle and bring them a little vitality.

"The Yellow River is far away among the white clouds, and there is an isolated city of thousands of miles of mountains. Why should Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not cross the Yumen Pass?" Lu Leye couldn't help but whisper the poem "Liangzhou Ci" by the great poet Wang Zhihuan.

.

The man who recites poetry always exudes a scent of dust. This smell is undoubtedly fatal to women. Emil looked at Lu Li's eyes and became intoxicated, sticking softly to his body, and he didn't want to separate for a moment.

"The legendary post station horse is the legendary horse and rabbit. The terrain of this area is very complex, with swamps everywhere, ravines, forests covered with sun, and weeds. Even the elderly horses who often travel back and forth on this road will be dizzy and difficult to know the way. From this, only the caravans that follow the brigade can pass safely, and we will also go there early to find a caravan that can be used to set up a team."

Lu Lele gently patted Emil in his arms, and Emil arched his head on his chest, indicating that he knew.

The orange-yellow sunset has not yet sunk into the ground, and the clouds in the sky have become dark and red. At this time, a white moon has been quietly hanging in the sky, elegant and noble like an iceberg goddess. The distant and desolate and sad pastoral songs are vaguely heard from afar, making people intoxicated and intoxicated.

Drive a cart into the Mamitu Station, and use a cloak to wrap himself tightly, Emil hid in the room. Lu LeLe walked into the lobby of the old station alone.

The noisy lobby was filled with all kinds of Hu Shangs. Although Lu Leal was dressed in the Hu tribe, he had black hair and dark eyes, he could tell at a glance that it was a Tang people.

A thin man with a tall nose, deep eyes and tall figure, and a thirty-year-old man stood up and looked at the road in curiosity, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"It's strange. I have seen many Tang merchants in groups on this Silk Road. I have never seen anyone who dares to cross the Western Regions alone."

Lu LeLe looked at the man calmly: "My wife is a Hu man."

"How about it, the most beautiful girl of our Hu people, all went to the Tang Dynasty. I don't know what about you, the wife of the Tang Dynasty boy." The man said with regret covering his chin.

"What about my wife? It seems that no matter what you do." Lu LeLe said coldly.

"Haha! You Tangren boy have a personality, and I, Bai Xiaode, admire you very much. We will set out in a team tomorrow and pass through the horse Mitu. The boy is willing to come together. I will hand in two hundred copper coins and I will ensure that you can safely arrive at Shazhou City."

The Hu man Bai Xiaode laughed and said carelessly.

"Okay!" Lu Lelai threw down a bag of copper coins without hesitation.

Follow the business group organized by Bai Xiaode, cross the deep forest and walk through the swamp, and soon enter a desert.

Emil, who was fetching water in the small pond, cleaned his face. Just as he turned his head, Bai Xiaode saw it clearly. Bai Xiaode felt like he was struck by lightning, and was so dazed that he almost lost his mind.

After living for thirty-four years, he had never seen such a beautiful girl. Emil, who was wrapped in a cloak, left for a long time before Bai Xiaode slowly came to his senses.

Holding the goods of four camels, Bai Xiaode walked to the road to rest together and fell beside the two of them. He stared at Emil for a long time and swallowed hard.

"Let your wife stay with me for one night, and these goods, including four camels, are all yours."

Lu Lili stood up straight, rushed forward, and punched Bai Xiaode out with one punch.

Bai Xiaode's behavior is so common in the Western Regions caravans. It is not uncommon for some merchants to send their wives to sleep with each other in order to celebrate the completion of the transaction. The price offered by Bai Xiaode is also very high, so high that it can buy several young girls.

But I will never bear it if I am lost, and I will never.

Bai Xiaode hasn't had a long time

If he could get up, his dozen of his brothers rushed towards Lu Le.

You punched me and you kicked me, and the small world sounded a series of dull sounds.

Emil cried, trying desperately to stop those people from hurting the road. However, he was pushed and staggered and fell to the ground. The bag of copper coins in his chest shook for a few times, and the copper coins were spread all over the floor.

Emil didn't even look at the copper coins, and rushed forward again crying.

Lu Lili wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, which made him suck the air conditioner. The corners of his eyes were broken, his mouth was wide open, and his whole body was so painful that he felt uncomfortable. I don’t know how many punches he had been. However, those men who rushed up fell to the ground, and no one could stand up.

Silently picked up the copper coins that Emil fell on the ground, one by one, and put them into the bag on Emil's chest, who was crying. He gently wiped her eyes with his hands, feeling uncomfortable in his heart, far exceeding the pain on his body.

Bai Xiaode slowly stood up and looked at his brother lying all over the floor. He walked to his mount without saying a word, pulled out a pair of short spears, and walked towards the road.

Lu Lelai took out the Qiushui sword from his cart, but was hugged by Emil tightly, shook his head desperately, and tears slid across his face like a stream, dripping into dust.

Bai Xiaode looked at this scene and slowly inserted his short spear back to his waist, sighing.

"You hateful Tangren boy, I kindly negotiated with you. Not only did you punch the labor capital without saying hello, but you also beat my brothers down. Isn't it too unreasonable?"

"My wife is not a cargo, never a cargo." Lu LeLe said coldly.

Bai Xiaode was stunned for a while, covered his chest with one hand and saluted Lu Leye. He walked over to help each of his brothers and left silently.

The long camel caravan and the big cart, in the endless desert, seemed to be a lonely boat swaying in the sand sea, walking through hard. The moon rose, and the stars in the sky flashed, guarding it like a proud princess.

Lu Le'er hoeed his sword, hugged Emil in front of his chest, and looked at the beautiful night sky in a daze. It seemed that he could hear the distant, desolate, sad and unyielding singing in his ears.

More than twenty knight bandits appeared around the caravan like ghosts. They were like the god of death under the moonlight, staring coldly at the prey in front of them.

Bai Xiaode walked to Lu Li and looked at him proudly: "Do you dare to decide whether you have a chance to win or not? Whoever kills the young bandit will lose."

He didn't say anything after the road was gone, and pulled out the autumn water with a clang, slowly walking towards the sand bandits.

The autumn water under the moonlight emits a strange cold light. Every time it flashes, it brings up a blood mist, like the flowers blooming under the moon, so sad and beautiful.

"I won!" Lu Lele didn't even look at the corpse that fell to the ground. He knew clearly that there were seven sand bandits lying under Qiushui's sword. Bai Xiaode, the man who used a pair of short spears, killed six.

"Not necessarily!" Bai Xiaode took off the longbow hanging on his shoulder and slowly pulled it into a full moon.

A sand bandit who was riding a horse and fleeing desperately suddenly twisted his body and fell down from the horse crookedly. The deadly sharp arrow shot by Bai Xiaode had already penetrated his chest.

"Good arrow technique!" Lu Leye sincerely praised.

Bai Xiaode proudly put away his longbow, looked at Emil, who looked worried in the distance, and patted the road's shoulder.

"She is the most beautiful girl in my Hu tribe I have ever seen. However, you deserve her. It's not because your swordsmanship is amazing, but because you really treat the women of my Hu tribe as human beings."
