quicksand
The eldest lady's scissors stabbed her throat, although it was not deep, but she was already dying when the doctor arrived. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info The blood flowed all over the palm of the third brother holding his throat, and in the end, the eldest lady just took Xiaowan's hand and squeaked and said something while bleeding. As soon as he said a word, a mouthful of blood gushed out, and the people around him didn't understand, but Zimo didn't know what this woman's instructions were before she diedγγγγγγ
The eldest lady closed her eyes like this.
Gao Fu held another funeral after his father's death. The third brother looked very haggard, Zi Mo couldn't bear to call him, occasionally the two looked at each other, and the third brother's eyes were blue. Looking at him, Zimo understood that the third brother didn't want to blame him, but the one lying in this coffin was his dearest mother.
Zi Mo rode on his horse in a daze, letting the wind blow his face, his hair was flying, and the yellow sand was rolling the heavens and the earth, as if the desolation in front of him was boundless.
"Your Highness, there is the small country of Moyeli in front of you. Although it is in the foothills of the Altai Mountains, it is sandwiched by the two steppe overlords of Rouran and Turkic, and this territory is really pitiful. A deputy general stepped forward and opened the parchment map and pointed out the way to Zimo.
Zi Mo covered the face towel that covered his mouth and nose, and shook the yellow sand of a scarf.
Now the Northern Qi Dynasty is also a situation in which the military situation is besieged on all sides, but Gao Zhan does not allow him to lead his troops out of Yecheng at this time. There are many ways on the fold, and all of them are sunk in the sea. Zi Mo felt that Gao Zhan's embryo should really be used as a harem concubine in captivity, and he had the urge to come to the door to make trouble, but he didn't want to bump into the eldest mother's self-determination.
The eldest lady was not killed by him, but so many people saw death beside him, and the eldest mother's hand was tightly pressed against his hand and held on the dagger. The third brother said that he believed him, but behind those sunken eyes, there was a grief that Zi Mo couldn't bear to look at directly.
Empress Jingde died, it should be a state funeral. Ke Zimo was involved, and there were many questions about the cause of death. Although the emperor issued an edict saying that the Yuan family was seriously ill and died, and the funeral specifications were like the queen mother, everything was done quickly, and there were already ministers in the court who were talking about it, and how to block the mouths of the people. Zi Mo knew in his heart who publicized this matter, but what he said was groundless, seeing is believing, someone wanted to use this matter to make waves to restrain him, and the minister secretly made an excerpt to send this matter to Dali Temple for investigation.
At this time, Zi Mo is at a loss.
Emperor Gao Zhan suddenly made a decree to him, neither to go to Beisai to guard against the Yan Kingdom, nor to go to the Jinyang Fortress to strengthen the city defenses, but to ask Zi Mo to go to Moyeli, a small country at the foot of the Altai Mountains, to buy spices and furs. He was ordered to receive the decree and set out on the same day. The fool also understands what Gao Zhan's intentions are, Zi Mo goes to theorize, Gao Zhan said that he can go to Moyeli for a maximum of one month, which is the longest time limit he can let him go. If you don't appreciate it, don't go anywhere!
The domineering of this bastard made Zi Mo unwilling, but his own Western Liang army was far away in Yuzhou, and without Gao Zhan's soldiers, it was impossible for him to mobilize troops and horses out of Yecheng to go to the battlefield. After thinking about it, he finally slapped his thigh and decided after dreaming that the bloodied lady cursed him for a few days, and he was going to be ordered to go out of the city to Moyeri.
The first seven of the eldest mother, he can't go. The third brother knew that it was deliberately arranged by Gao Zhan, but until now, he himself didn't know how to face Changgong. Chang Gong can avoid this cusp, and when this matter calms down, and when his grief over the loss of his mother calms down, it is not too late for the two brothers to untie their hearts.
In this way, Zi Mo went to say goodbye, and Xiao Wan, who was dressed in linen and filial piety, nodded.
"Third brother, you take care of yourself, but you must not hurt your body. "A thousand words, in the end, can only be summed up into such a sentence. The third brother lowered his head, turned his back, and was stunned for a long time before nodding heavily.
The desert weather is like a child's face, and it changes when it is said.
The sky was still clear, but the wind and sand were a little stronger, but now the clouds were overpowering, and it seemed that a violent storm was pouring down immediately.
"Your Highness, what should I do? I really didn't expect that the climate here is still so bad after the beginning of spring!" The lieutenant general who accompanied Zi Mo to Moyeli had an anxious look on his face, according to the usual practice, this Moyeli should turn snow in the spring, and the climate is warm. I didn't expect to come to the place almost this time, but I was facing such bad weather.
"The order went down, and the whole army went to the cave in front to take shelter from the rain, and waited for the weather to improve before leaving. Zi Mo said to the lieutenant general, he found a small cave in front of him that was blown by the wind in the desert, although he couldn't figure out the situation inside, but if he didn't find a sheltered place, the hurricane rain in the desert would not be able to resist it.
After turning some direction, the large army went to the cave to take shelter from the rain.
Before it arrived, the raindrops with the size of beans began to slap on Zimo's face.
In order not to be conspicuous, Zi Mo and the soldiers led by him were all dressed as businessmen. The long robes and the scarves that covered the face and only the eyes were just enough to block the sand and the wind, and now that the rain was down, the veils around the head were all attached to the face. The rain was more rapid than expected, and it hurt to fall on the face, and the feet were muddy, and the team was unconsciously loose, and the huge wind made the rain change the shape of its fall, mixed with the mud and sand in the desert, which made people dazzled.
"Ah!!!!!!!" Zimo suddenly heard the exclamations of the soldiers in the rear. The sound of the rain mixed with the sound of the wind was already deafening, and the sudden screams were even more terrifying.
The horses stumbled and trampled around, splashing muddy water in the muddy sand.
"Help~~~~~~~ help!!!!" The cries for help came and went, and the deputy general stopped Zimo behind him and waved his sword backwards. Unexpectedly, the lieutenant's horse just went back about ten meters before leaning forward, and the general with the tiger's back suddenly planted his horse.
It's quicksand!
"Your Highness, stand back! there's quicksand!"
The man trapped in the quicksand raised his arms and waved them vigorously, causing everyone else to stay away. Behind him, the soldiers who had fallen into the quicksand earlier had gradually gotten over their heads from the sand.
With a flick of the golden thread on his waist, Zi Mo wanted to save those people out.
"Your Highness, let's go quickly! Don't let down General Li and their hard work!"
The soldiers next to him were eager to protect themselves, and they really couldn't let His Royal Highness Lanling lose their lives in such a place. It was a simple errand to go out of the customs to buy materials, but it was still spring, but I didn't expect to enter the realm of quicksand.
Zimo's hands were bloodshot, but he didn't want these colleagues to give their lives in vain. The lieutenant general was loyal, and after listening to him, he was finally promoted from a pawn to this high-ranking military attache position. There is nothing to do along the way, this General Li chatted with Zi Mo when he was free, and heard that His Royal Highness Lanling was close to his subordinates, so he was also very happy to talk to him about his mother and sister in the family, who was born in poverty and was the pillar of the family.
"Poof, Your Highness, forget it! I and my brothers thank you! You go quickly! It's too lateγγγγγγ Poof, poof!" The upper body of the general was buried in quicksand, and the whole person was sinking down. The sand poured into his head and neck, pouring into his mouth so hard that he couldn't even speak.
"You all hold on! I will definitely save you up!" The rain was pouring down, Zi Mo patted the neck of the yellow rabbit under him, and said softly, "Baby, I finally took you out once, but I didn't expect it to be such a dangerous situation!
The blood in the palm of Zi Mo's hand dripped onto the head of the yellow rabbit horse, the horse was very spiritual, Zi Mo was usually reluctant to ride him into battle, the hero was useless in the palace for a few years, fat and fat, and now when he heard the master's instructions, the horse's nose sprayed hot air, and began to kick and beat the horse's hooves, as if he was going to stand firmly in the yellow muddy water. The horses threw their heads back and neighed, their noses snorted with hot air, and as soon as their hind hooves were pricked, they began to work backwards together.
γγγγγγ King Lanling is like this, and the soldiers who turned their heads and ran away really had a bad conscience, and they all turned their heads sideways to look at this life-and-death scene.
"The big guy took off his robe and braided some ropes, and together with His Highness, he rescued them!" someone wiped a handful of water from his face and called on the soldiers who had escaped to come back and save them together.
This call sobered up the soldiers who fled in panic.
How could they leave their commander behind and become deserters?! His Royal Highness Lanling is still helping his colleagues in the quicksand, where can they, the little pawns, flee to?!
The rain became heavier, and the soldiers threw ropes made of linen clothes into the quicksand.
In groups of five or six, one can pull up a man who has fallen into the sand.
Quicksand seemed to sense the group's resistance to it, stretching out under Zi Mo's mount in the heavy rain.
The lieutenant, surnamed Li, watched as the sand was buried over his head, and then pulled out of it by the invisible metal wire.
"Your Highnessγγγγγγ The rain washed over this thrilling scene, and the red blood flowed around Zi Mo's palm and down the Jinling line to the end of the deputy general's body.
"A few of you, help Your Highness, pull General Li out together!" Seeing this, the soldiers next to him came to help, and General Li was pulled out of the quicksand by half of his body, Zi Mo gritted his teeth, and used the same strength as the yellow rabbit.
There is great power in numbers, this is like a tug-of-war, and the strength of nature is also great when people's hearts are united.
Seeing that General Li was finally pulled out of most of his body, and he himself kicked his legs and struggled outward, covered with sweat and rain, everyone finally saw the hope of victory!
The hills of the desert change shape imperceptibly.
The scars on Zimo's palms no longer felt pain.
"Yellow rabbit, let's work harder!" Zi Mo gritted his teeth and said, the yellow rabbit horse neighed, raised his head and kicked the horse's hooves and pulled it back, and several soldiers around him also helped, and then pulled the stout deputy Li out of the whirlpool sand nest with a bang.
Everyone was elated, and several people went up to carry the deputy general Li and fled for their lives.
Zi Mo pulled the reins, and the horse's hooves spread out and ran. The wave-like desert terrain transforms like a man-eating beast.
The cave was right in front of you, but everyone felt that the more they ran, the sand dunes were rising.
Zi Mo knew that what he had encountered was serious this time.
"You all run forward with the wounded!
The terrain of the desert is changing rapidly, and if you don't rush out of this quicksand before dark, the entire team will never return, drowning in the rolling yellow sand.
Gao Zhan also said that the sheepskin map he gave was personally brought by the messenger of the king of Moyeri, and now it seems that he really doesn't know the route map from hundreds of years ago!
The yellow rabbit suddenly neighed, and the front horse's hooves fell heavily to its knees in the yellow sand. I couldn't see the scene in front of me, but I just tumbled and fell down.
Why did he have the illusion that he had fallen headlong from the top of a mountain?!
"His Royal Highness Changgong!!!!" Vice General Li, who had been saved his life, shouted, and there was only a distant sound in Zimo's ears.
The yellow rabbit kept hissing on its front hooves, and regardless of the fact that the quicksand was violently changing the terrain, chasing the direction in which Zimo rolled down was to chase straight away.
The rain was pouring down, and this strange devil desert was still changing every minute, and Vice General Li pressed his broken leg and rushed down, but was held down by the soldiers next to him.
"Don't go down!
"No, Your Highness saved my life, and if he dies, we don't have to live!" shouted Adjutant General Li.
"Let's get out of this quicksand first, and make a detour down to find His Highness! Your Highness's auspicious celestial appearance will definitely be found!" Everyone here understands what it means that King Lanling is missing, but this quicksand has cut off the previous road like a river, and there is sand that is constantly sloping down and leaking, and if it rushes down again, there is no doubt that it will be a dead end.
"Master, why do you say that people eat and are hungry, but still live so stubbornly?" a child asked him innocently.
That must be something in this world that they are happy to do, painstakingly pursuing, and even nostalgic. β
"Hmm, does Master have it?" the child's voice echoed.
"Master is an immortal, not a human, so γγγγγγ β
"Eh, doesn't Master want to be with Yan'er, don't you want to watch Yan'er grow up?!"
"Huhγγγγγγ Naturally, I want to. β
I don't know when this kind of remembrance sprouted in his heart of 10,000 years of emptiness, so he couldn't break free from the fetters of this worldly red dust.
Zi Mo clutched a rattan-like thing, and the sand was pouring into his mouth and nose, which was very painful.
He wants to liveγγγγγγ
