When I returned to Xuejiazhuang, the sky was clear, and the rain in early autumn always came and went quickly. Xue Yuer was drinking tea with Ji Junbi in the yard and saw me coming back alone. Xue Yuer asked, Niubi is gone
I nodded, and briefly talked about today's matter to the two of them. Xue Yu'er looked a little sad. I saw that Niubi several times when I was a child, and he bullied me every time I came. Later, after my grandfather passed away, he rarely came. My father often mentioned him when he was alive.
I thought for a while, decided not to tell He Daozi's entrustment, and comforted her: Your grandfather has this friend, and this life is not in vain.
After living in Xuejiazhuang for three days, Xue Yuer and Ji Junbi studied medicinal materials in the study and refining medicine in the pharmacy every day. , But also gained a lot.
He Daozi was incomparably unrestrained against the enemy that day. More than a dozen first-class masters could not hold a cup of tea kungfu under his hand, and he was very proficient in the use of the art of stealing qi. I tried to recall his moves at the time, but he still couldn't get the point. Thinking about it, it shouldn’t be anxious. As he said, if you don’t reach the first-grade stage, you can’t understand the laws of space at all, and you can’t use those stealing techniques.
On this day, I had nothing to do. I was watching some herbs that Xue Yuer had grown in the courtyard. One of the herbs had more than a dozen scarlet fruits, and it was gleaming. I was about to touch it when I suddenly heard Xue Yuer drink it. Stop it, don't move! It is a red oil fruit, which blooms in three years and bears fruit in three years. It is extremely precious. If you break it, you can't afford it.
How precious do I say
Xue Yuer's expression was triumphant, and one pill could sell for hundreds of taels in the market!
What am I saying that baby is so precious? Can it be brought back to life
Xue Yuer said mysteriously, I won't tell you! Turning around and saying a few words in Ji Junbi's ear, Ji Junbi couldn't help but feel happy.
I became more curious and quickly coaxed Xue Yuer. Xue Yuer said, this red oil juice is the best fruit in the world for beauty and beauty. One fruit can be made into more than a dozen beauty pills, which you stinky men can't use!
It suddenly dawned on me that everyone has a heart for beauty. The beauty pill is a well-known medicine in the world. Some dignitaries and female family members of the royal family like to give it to each other as precious gifts. The price has also risen. One pill. Xue Yu'er is a medical family, so it is not surprising to grow these in the hospital.
Xue Yuer took the opportunity to show off the herbs in the medicinal garden, some of which promote the production of body fluids and promote blood circulation, and some of which improve immunity, which is full of joy. Ji Junbi was also patient to listen, but I was a little impatient, and asked, how well is Junbi's blood poison suppressing medicine practiced
Xue Yuer patted his head, oops, I forgot!
I was a little displeased: Miss, can we be reliable
Xue Yuer said that you have no money, so why should I refining medicine for you
I said that I have a Ye Mingzhu at home in the capital. Your sister Ji gave it to me. If you help her practice medicine, I will give it to you when you arrive in the capital!
Xue Yuer's eyes glowed, how big is a night pearl
I made gestures with my fists: There are fists so big!
Ji Junbi smiled and said, Xiao Yuer Xiu listened to his nonsense, just as big as eggs.
Xue Yuer said, that's good too, the deal! He took out a jade bottle from his arms and handed it to Ji Junbi. This is a three-month amount. I will practice it for you again. Anyway, I'm bored at home alone, so why don't I live longer than sister Ji!
I thought this trip to Xiliang was very dangerous. Ji Junbi couldn't act rashly. It might be inconvenient to take her with her. It might not be a good choice for her to rest in Xuejiazhuang, so I discussed with Ji Junbi.
At first, Ji Junbi was a little unwilling. He wanted to be with me. After several persuasion and Xue Yuer's cheating, he agreed to stay.
I stayed in Xuejiazhuang for another five or six days. I walked and chatted with Ji Junbi every day. I wanted to have a better relationship with her. But every time I had a chance, Xue Yuer always appeared unsuitably. It's a little embarrassing.
Under Xue Yuer's careful care, Ji Junbi's body gradually improved, and his jokes gradually increased. Think about it when they first saw each other, they could not help but feel deeply moved.
On this day, Ji Junbi helped me pack my luggage, and I set off again. Before leaving, I held her hand, and you rest here. When the peach blossoms bloom next year, I will come back to pick you up from Xiliang.
Xue Yu'er urged a narrow path on the side, oh, this is so sour and not embarrassing.
I said what your little boy knows, Xue Yuer waved his fist and protested with me. You can try to mess with me again? I don't even dare to say that Miss Xue is clever, clever and sensible. When I come back, I will pick you up and play in the capital together!
Xue Yuer said, this is almost the same, remember to bring me a gift from Xiliang!
I turned my head and saw that the reed flower was gnawing on the red oil fruit in the medicine garden.
Behind him came Xue Yu'er yelling: Qin Sanguan, stop for me! Where would I dare to stop, take the reins, and rush away with the reed flowers.
Out of Zhongyang City, one person and one mule traveled all the way west. The weather turned cold, the weeds on the road became yellow, and people were gradually scarce. Ten days later, Yangliu Town, the westernmost of Shanxi Road, crossed Xiangshawan to the west, where it was the junction of Daming and Xiliang.
Yangliu Town is a trade transit point between Xiliang and Daming. After the imperial court and Xiliang have had a bad relationship this year, the governor of Zhengxi has stationed troops here for military exercises. Yangliu Town is no longer prosperous, and only a few smuggling caravans are here. Rest here.
When he learned that I was going to Xiliang, an old man said that he had traveled west from Yangliu Town for more than ten days and crossed Xiangshawan to reach Longtouguai, and then turned to Xiliang from Longtouguai. Today, the imperial court military exercises have to go northward around Luzhou, but this will take one month longer.
After weighing it for a long time, I decided not to take a detour. There was a hint of luck in my heart. In the huge Xiangshawan, I was a rider alone, not so conspicuous. If I really meet the Ming army, with my martial arts, escape should not be a problem. No matter how bad, I also have a customs clearance document issued by the court, so I shouldn't encounter any trouble.
In Yangliu Town, I prepared enough dry food water sacs, and I rode reeds into Xiangsha Bay. As we go west, the trees become scarcer. It is late autumn. Looking around, it is desolate, with eagles flying across the grass, and wild wolves on the grassland. At night, the wailing sound is extremely desolate.
A few days later, I only encountered a smuggling caravan. I wanted to join them, but they declined. I also understand that after all, I was away from home, and I was going to Xiliang again, and I made some shameful business. It is better to do more than less.
At noon that day, I leaned against a stone pillar to rest. There was a piece of aquatic plants nearby. I untied the reins of the reed flower and it searched for food on its own. These days, Luhua's body has undergone some changes, her fur has become softer, her feet have become stronger, and it is probably related to her eating the herbs in Xue Yuer's medicinal garden.
There are a number of these stone pillars in Xiangsha Bay, which have been subjected to alternating cold and heat in the desert grassland for a long time, and gale erosion, forming a honeycomb-like scar on the stone surface, like cracked bark, which is extremely vicissitudes of life.
After walking for a few days, I was very tired. I took a cold bath in the puddle. I leaned on it, stretched my waist, and enjoyed a moment of pleasure.
There was a sound of horseshoes in the distance, and I woke up abruptly. Looking from the cracks between the stones, I saw more than a dozen horse riding hooves chaotically, splashing yellow sand in the sky, and rushing toward me.
Horse thief? A thought flashed in my mind. I heard people in Yangliu Town say that horse pirates in Xiangshawan are rampant, and they specialize in picking people who are only shadows to attack.
I increased my vigilance, and the dagger was hidden in my sleeve. When everyone came to see these people in military uniforms, they looked like Da Ming's scout cavalry.
I was relieved and stood up.
These more than ten horses came to the front, one person waved, and a dozen horses stopped immediately, neatly aligned. The leader is a one-to-two-year-old young man with a sturdy back, thick eyebrows, big eyes, twinkling eyes, and a handsome face.
who
I handed over, several soldiers, in the Xiazhongyuan Escort Qin Sanguan, were entrusted to go to Xiliang to deliver some goods. Speaking of taking out the document from his arms, he was about to pass it over.
There is a humanity behind, this is a military forbidden area, don’t you know? In my opinion, it must be Xiliang's scout!
I secretly cursed in my heart, have you ever seen such a handsome spy, but I said, behaved abruptly, offended several generals, please forgive me.
After that, handed a few pieces of silver. Hearing from Yang Jiaoxi, some soldiers in the Ming army specialize in picking out no-ones to rob visitors. They are no different from bandits. After killing people and gaining money, they will be blamed for the bandits, but they cannot be questioned.
Looking at me for the lead cavalry, I was so stage fright, I looked up at him.
Leader of the young cavalry, escort? Lianjiazi
I said I didn't dare to be it. Compared with a few generals, I am afraid it is a laugh.
The young man dismounted, holding a spear made of stainless steel, loudly speaking, to show two moves! The other dozen horses immediately dispersed, surrounding the two of me in the center.
I said that the general's martial arts are high and strong, and he is willing to bow down.
The rest of the people laughed, and before they even started to fight, they confessed to them, just like Lord Rabbit, dare to go out and play darts
I was furious in my heart, you people’s children, if you don’t protect your family and defend your country and fight Xiliang, you have nothing to do, and coldly said, it’s better to be respectful!
After talking about it, the qi of the Four Lakes was stimulated, released, and enveloped the youth.
Seeing this, the young man gathered up his frivolous expression, and his spear shook out a few spears, and the cold light suddenly appeared.
These spears flickered, and the chill was pressing, and I didn't expect this person to be a master of martial arts. It's no wonder that many of the top masters of various martial arts and martial arts have been recruited by the imperial court. This young man is only twenty-five and six years old, but he is also a second-rank master.
The young man said in awe, guerrilla general Xiao Qianliang under the command of Xiao Ni, general in the West, wondering what weapon Qin Daxia used? If there are any weapons in the hands of my brothers, just speak up.
I thought this Xiao Qianliang was refreshing, not like a pretentious person. Although he was a contest, he didn't bully the widow and acted like a quagmire. Haha smiled and said: I don’t know how to use swords, spears, swords, swords, axes, axes, hooks and forks. , With this dagger in his hand, he will know General Xiao's spear for a while.
Xiao Qianliang said, please!
A bit of cold light is approaching, and then the gun is shot like a dragon!
