Chapter 478: Walking All the Way

Yang Xianmao decided to go with them, the main reason was that he had just heard Xiao Gan say that there was a Liao army heavily deployed in front of him, and there were many heavyweights leading the army to escort the queen to hunt for treasure, so he had to contact others to deal with the Liao army together. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Now the Liao Dynasty is their main enemy. And if these treasure hunters are scattered to deal with, they will be broken by the Liao army, only when they are connected together, the strength is great, it is possible to compete with the Liao army, and if necessary, they will have the capital to bargain with the Liao army.

The eldest disciple also felt that something was wrong, and looked at the master Xuxuanzi beside him and asked what to do. Previously, Xuxuanzi saw the other party's situation clearly, and only then asked the eldest disciple to ask Yang Xianmao. He was so badly injured that he could not speak loudly. However, after he heard Yang Xianmao's answer, although he also had some doubts in his heart, he still decided to obey Yang Xianmao's command, so he instructed his disciples to drive the leading sleigh and move closer to the sleigh of the three people.

Seeing that the two sides were getting closer and closer, the three people were a little panicked and desperately rushed forward in the sleigh cart. The eldest disciple shouted, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we just want to walk with you." ”

But the three men did not answer, and rushed forward desperately on the sleigh.

At this moment, Xiao Gan, who was tied to the sleigh behind him, suddenly said in a loud voice: "Lord Yang, those three people seem to be the Uighurs of Gaochang, I understand their words, let me tell them, they may not understand your words." ”

Then, Xiao Gan shouted loudly, talking to those people, his voice was very loud, and his pronunciation was also very strange.

When the bearded and high-nosed men heard his voice, they were very happy, and they also chattered with him, and their expressions seemed to be less flustered. There was a bearded man who had drawn his knife and returned it to its scabbard.

When Yang Xianmao's car approached, they stopped on both sides, stepped down from the sleigh and stepped forward to salute. But neither side could understand what the other was saying.

Yang Xianmao asked the eldest disciple to untie Xiao Gan from the sleigh and bring him over for him to be the translator.

When the Uighurs from Gaochang saw that the person they had just spoken to was actually tied up, they couldn't help but be startled again, and looked at Yang Xianmao and them vigilantly. It wasn't until Xiao Gan explained to them that they relaxed and talked to Xiao Gan.

Hearing Xiao Gan's translation, Yang Xianmao and the others learned that these Gaochang Uighurs were also on a treasure hunt. Yang Xianmao was very surprised, it turned out that this news had actually reached the Gaochang Uighurs in the Western Regions, and I was afraid that everyone in the world would know about it.

Yang Xianmao asked Xiao Gan to tell the Uighurs that there were a large number of Liao troops in front of them, specializing in killing treasure hunters, and that they had better go together and help each other, otherwise, if they went separately, they would be broken by the Liao army, not only could they not find the treasure, but they would even lose their lives.

After hearing Xiao Gan's translation, the Uighurs of Gaochang all nodded their heads together, indicating that they were willing to travel together and help each other in the same boat.

So, they each got into the sleigh and continued on their way.

Huang Qiaoqiao was riding in parallel with Yang Xianmao, and she said to Yang Xianmao: "These Gaochang Uighurs don't seem to know much martial arts. If you don't know martial arts and still come here to hunt for treasure, isn't that here to kill you?"

Yang Xianmao said: "You know, immortality is everyone's biggest dream, whether he has martial arts or not, he feels that luck may fall on him, so he came." Moreover, although these people do not know martial arts, they must have the skills they rely on. Maybe it's just that with these skills, you can find that treasure. ”

Along the way, they met several groups of treasure hunters, in addition to the people of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, there were also treasure hunters from Goryeo, Japan, Dali and other places. Yang Xianmao invited them to go along, but they were flatly refused, so they went their separate ways.

There are a lot of treasure hunters on this vast ice field, which shows that I don't know how many treasure hunters come to this ice field to find the immortal elixir.

There was no word all the way, and the hourglass showed that it was already the hour, so they all stopped to camp to rest and eat. A tall, bearded Uighur brought a plate of beef and mutton to Yang Xianmao. Yang Xianmao shook his head and said no, saying that they had it themselves. The Uighurs, however, enthusiastically put the beef and mutton on the felt carpet of the tent and went back smiling.

Huang Qiaoqiao warned Yang Xianmao in a low voice: "Don't eat it, maybe it's poisonous inside." ”

Yang Xianmao smiled and said, "Probably not, they won't be stupid enough to poison food." But caution should also be exercised. So he asked Huang Qiaoqiao to bring this plate of meat to Kang Mo and the pro-soldier to eat. If these Liao people were poisoned, it was also fate, they were originally the enemies who chased and killed Yang Xianmao and others.

After eating the meat, resting for a while, and gossiping for a while, Huang Qiaoqiao ran to see Kang Mo and them, and saw that they were all right, and they didn't look like they were poisoned, so he came back and told Yang Xianmao.

Yang Xianmao said: "Although we try to form alliances with people along the way, we must first take precautions. Even acquaintances must be vigilant enough. Because the temptation of this immortal pill is too great, even if it is a real good friend, it may become an enemy but secretly attack, not to mention the meeting in Pingshui. ”

Huang Qiaoqiao sighed and said, "I thought it was just looking for water from the River Styx, but now I didn't expect that there would be an additional Immortal Pill, as if all the people in the world have run to the ice field." They all want to compete for this elixir of immortality, and I don't know how many people will die. ”

Yang Xianmao's heart sank, thoughtful.

When resting, Yang Xianmao, Huang Qiaoqiao, Feng Qiuyu and the three of them slept in a tent, Xuxuanzi took his eldest disciples to guard Xiao Gan, Kang Mo, Qin Bing and Huang Ding, and several people slept in a big tent. And three Uighurs from Ghochang slept in their own tents.

They slept for three or four hours, and the next day, because it was the polar night, the sky and the earth were dark, but they got up as usual and prepared to continue their journey.

Suddenly, they heard screams from the tents of the Uighurs of Gauchang, and two bearded Uighurs staggered out, their faces pale and whispering loudly.

Xiao Gan and the others had already woken up, and at that moment, they hurriedly asked the senior disciple to bring Xiao Gan, who had tied his hands, over to be a translator. It soon became clear that the two Ghochang Uighurs who had escaped said that one of their other companions had died in the tent. Just like their companions and men before them.

After hearing this, Yang Xianmao couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, could it be that these three Gaochang Uighurs had brought companions and subordinates before, but they had died mysteriously before?

Yang Xianmao immediately entered the tent carefully, and at a glance saw a dead corpse lying in the tent, with his hands and feet curled towards the sky, but his face was very peaceful, as if he was asleep, but the whole corpse was already ossified, just like when Bao Xiong and Yu Hefei died before.

When Yang Xianmao came out, he saw that the two Uighurs from Gaochang were arguing fiercely, and they didn't know what they were arguing about. Immediately let Xiao Gan be the translator, and then talk to the two Uighurs from Gaochang.

After asking, I learned that the two men were arguing about whether to move on or go back. So Yang Xianmao asked Xiao Gan to translate and asked them how their companions and retinue died.

After asking, it was learned that the three Ghochang Uighurs were actually five people before they set out, and each brought a servant, a total of ten people. On the way, the Uighurs and their retinue died one after another, some of them were bitten off and half of their bodies died, and some of them were the same as now, their whole bodies stiff, their hands and feet bent, but their faces were very calm, and they died in their sleep, for unknown reasons. In the end, only the three of them remained. And now, one of them is dead again, and only two of them remain. They were just arguing about whether to turn around and go back or keep going. If they kept going, maybe it would be the two of them's turn, so they were very scared.

There were also two corpses dragged behind their carriage, two of their own brothers, dead on the road, just as they had just looked when their companion died. But it was their own brothers, they had to take the corpses away, and the others who were not their own brothers were abandoned on the ice field after they died. If the two of them died, the brother's body would not be brought back with him, and he would have to rest on the ice field.

Yang Xianmao waited for the two of them to finish speaking, he didn't care whether the two of them finally decided to go back or not, he was concerned about a matter that needed to be verified urgently.

He said: "You may not know, I am the imperial physician of the Great Song Emperor, and I need to find out the real cause of death of these people who died bizarrely, so as not to make the same mistakes as others." So if you agree, I'm going to dissect the dead companions in your tent, and the bodies of the other two people in your car. I'm going to see how they died. ”

After Xiao Gan translated, the two people immediately shook their heads like rattles, saying that this would definitely not work, especially the corpses of their two brothers. People are dead, and their bodies can no longer be destroyed.

Yang Xianmao smiled faintly and said, "It's just a politeness for me to discuss with you, whether you agree or not, I will do this." With that, Yang Xianmao suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled out the scimitar from the waist of the tall and burly Uighur, and took a step back.

The Uighurs were startled and wanted to reach for the knife, but it was too late, and Yang Xianmao moved too fast. He looked at Yang Xianmao in astonishment, his eyes full of horror, and said, "You, what are you going to do?"

Yang Xianmao reversed the handle of the knife, handed it to him, and said, "It's nothing, I just want to tell you that my words are the decision." You can't object. And this time, you two must follow my commands. - Don't be nervous, I'm here for everyone's good, and when the treasure hunt is over, we'll divide our things. Can you say yes?"

Hearing Yang Xianmao say this, and began to demonstrate, Xuxuanzi and the eldest disciple also pressed the hilt of their swords and stared at the two Uighurs.

Nervous and frightened, the burly Uighur retrieved the sword from Yang Xianmao's hand and chatted with the other Uighur for a while, then nodded.

Xiao Gan told Yang Xianmao that they had agreed, saying that they were willing to obey the lord's command.

Yang Xianmao nodded, he went back to the tent and took out the scalpel, came to the tent first, and dissected the corpse.
