Chapter 772 Danger
"He's so fierce, he keeps staring at me when I'm recuperating, he doesn't let me eat anything, oh! Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" The young general danced and spoke, looking funny, and he was a happy person.
"Haha! My brother is a very serious person, you offend him, you are miserable. Qiao Lan was coaxed by him to laugh all the time, but she didn't have the rustiness and panic of entering a strange place for the first time.
"Well, what you said is so accurate, the medicine given to me is so bitter that I don't want to take it a second time. The young general couldn't help but complain when he thought of those bitter medicines, he couldn't forget the taste after a few months of bitterness.
"Hahaha!" everyone laughed.
The wharf is still far away from the border pass, they have to walk for two days, and then take a break from other border passes to continue to hurry, the time must be pinched very accurately, otherwise there will only be sleeping in the wild, it will be very dangerous, this road is not too many people, occasionally there are people from the tea horse road passing by.
The scenery of the northwest is indeed a bit desolate and bleak, it is a piece of Gobi scenery, the scenery is completely different from the green mountains and green waters, there is a broad and desolate ancient atmosphere, and even some buildings have their own styles and characteristics, which is a completely different scenery display.
Qiao Lan is also here for the first time, and she can't help but look at it and appreciate it, thinking that she should draw it when she has time, which is also a rare scenery.
The more they walked, the more bored they became, and they lost the freshness they had just started, everyone stopped talking, the temperature difference between morning and evening was very large, it was very cold in the morning and evening, and it was very hot at noon, and the sun was very baked, and in the afternoon the sky changed, and the wind began to rise, and the temperature dropped as soon as it was dark, and it was terribly cold.
Qiao Lan didn't dare to drink all the water because she thought that she would have to go for a day, so she still had to keep some.
After riding a horse for a long time, Qiaolan felt a hot pain in her inner thighs, probably worn out, because she was a little uncomfortable with less riding time.
Gangzi noticed that Qiao Lan had been frowning and asked, "Little brother, should we take a break?"
The young general looked at Qiao Lan, and shook his head ruthlessly, "No, this road is not safe, we have to rush to the next city gate tower as soon as possible, otherwise there are often robbers here at night, it is very important that we bring so much grain and grass, sister-in-law, you can bear with it." ”
"I'm fine, let's keep walking, don't waste time, these medicinal herbs, grains and herbs have been obtained by many people with a lot of effort, and they can't be wasted. ”
"Yes, in fact, Brother Xuewu is not wrong, these things are more important than our lives, it can save many people's lives, continue to move forward. The general's face changed, and he gave an order with a straight face, regardless of whether Qiao Lan was uncomfortable or not, he knew that she was already very tired, and he couldn't stand it after riding a horse for a day, let alone a woman, but he just couldn't stop, because he might encounter danger.
He looked at Qiao Lan's pale face covered with sweat again, and turned his head ruthlessly, at this moment, the young general had a bit of a soldier's iron and blood, which made people dare not underestimate it.
Gangzi didn't dare to speak, the young general rejected him categorically, and he couldn't help it.
"Sister-in-law, you are patient. Gangzi said worriedly.
"It's okay, I still have a lot of water, do you want to drink it?" Qiao Lan could still smile and comfort them.
"I don't drink. Gangzi shook his head, not looking at the kettle, his water had already been drunk, and the climate here was dry and dry.
"Drink, it's only noon, there's still an afternoon, the road is still long, come and give me your kettle to give you a little even." Qiao Lan smiled.
"That'...... All right. Gangzi nodded helplessly, he didn't dare to let himself have problems, and he had to take care of Qiaolan and them.
"That's right. Qiao Lan took Gangzi's kettle, and carefully poured her own water into him to give him more than half of it, and relied on Gangzi to take care of them more, and there was no one to ask for help if something happened.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. ”
"It's okay, let's keep walking, don't delay your efforts and cause trouble to others. Qiao Lan gritted her teeth and continued to insist.
In this way, there has been no one who has been hot all the way, Qiao Lan has taken several naps right away, with a big hat and scarf wrapped around her face, and the hat she wears to pick corn to block the sun, he specially wore a few hats considering the hot weather here.
Unconsciously in the afternoon, she suddenly heard the young general's voice roaring loudly, "There are robbers, run quickly, sister-in-law, don't leave with me, we will go to the city gate tower immediately." ”
"Okay, where is the person?" Qiao Lan looked around and didn't see anyone.
"On the side, there is a mountain road ahead of me to turn, I guess it is going to hijack us over there, I asked people to explore it in advance, and there are people guarding it in front. ”
"Then what should I do, let the people who transport grain and grass hide first?" Qiao Lan also said anxiously.
"You can't hide, the target is too big, you can see it anywhere you hide, where to go in this unobstructed area, those bandits are just picking such a place to start, you have nowhere to hide. The young general sighed, in the end, he ran into it, why is it today, and he still has his sister-in-law.
"Madame, take it. Hye-young took another dagger to her and tied her inside her ankle boots. I also have crossbow arrows tied to my hands.
"Okay, Hui Ying will leave me alone for a while, it's important to run quickly. Qiao Lan did not forget to explain that Hui Ying should pay attention to protecting herself, and she was also beating a drum in her heart, her bad luck was also leveraged, and she could encounter danger wherever she went.
"I know how to fight, so it's fine, but you can't just get off the horse and run with your head bored. ”
"Well, I remember, don't worry, I will resist. Qiao Lan touched the crossbow arrow on her arm and said.
"Here, brothers, kill!" the young general raised his broadsword and was the first to rush forward.
And the soldiers who were transporting the supplies just now were also the first to rush up, leaving the supplies behind them, and only a few older soldiers left behind them to wait, and the materials were snatched away if they couldn't win, and there was nowhere to hide in the Gobi.
"Run. Gangzi turned around and shouted at Qiaolan, which means that you don't have to take care of the materials, and you can't take care of it, you just run by yourself.
Qiao Lan slapped the horse's buttocks with a whip and ran forward desperately, only Hui Ying followed her tightly, and the big pillar and the second pillar helped to guard next to the grain and grass cart, and a group of people rushed over with whistling dust.
I could only vaguely see a group of strong men and horses, with a cheerful shout rushing towards them like wolves, under the cover of dust could not see the faces clearly, only vaguely heard the sound of knives chopping flesh and flesh in their ears, and the hearts of those who listened were pounding.
Qiao Lan ran straight forward with her head bored, the dust was so bad that she couldn't see the road clearly, it was all up to the horse itself to run forward, she couldn't tell the front and back at all, it seemed that she was a war horse, so it was okay to be disturbed.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear, "Be careful." ”
When Qiao Lan stared wide, she could see a long tripwire from a distance on the ground, Qiao Lan hurriedly pulled up the reins, fortunately, the horse was still well-trained, and the horse's front hooves were raised high.
The hissing continued, and Qiao Lan felt the arrows whizzing around her, and for the first time felt that the danger of death was imminent.
"Ahh
