54.Chapter 54

After Ling Chusi and Sun Simiao, as well as the slave girl who had no name, left the cave, it was entirely Ling Chusi at first, and continued to walk in the direction of the east on horseback, and after being far away from the Turkic tent, they began to turn south, avoiding the Khitan, and returned to the territory of the Great Sui.

While chatting and talking on the way, Ling Chusi suddenly thought and reminded him that since he had escaped from Hal and Lin City, the female slave girl could completely let go of her status as a slave.

Sun Simiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, he was originally from a common people, and he didn't know much about the Turkic nobles, as well as the slaves and livestock captured by them. Sun Simiao didn't care about the difference in identity before, so he naturally didn't know how humble and weak a slave was.

When Zhao Deyan was under house arrest in Ashina's mansion, Sun Simiao only regarded the female slave as a maid of an ordinary big family, and it was Ling Chusi who reminded him that he suddenly realized how humble and ashamed this female slave was when he faced him before......

Thinking of this, Sun Simiao, who was still riding with Ling Chusi, who was sitting behind her, also looked sideways, smiling gently, with an open-mindedness and calmness that seemed to be able to tolerate a qiē.

"I never knew your name yet." After Sun Simiao comforted the slave girl, he suddenly spoke.

The nameless slave girl's body subconsciously stiffened, and she clenched the reins in her hand, and her wings suddenly stopped, making a loud snort.

Ling Chusi immediately grabbed the reins of Li Feisha, and looked back to Sun Simiao, who looked much taller than her, but because he couldn't ride a horse, he had been aggrieved and shrunk into a ball to sit behind her, and had recently given up on himself, and had recently given up on himself, and was accustomed to this kind of life of either riding with Ling Chusi or being carried by the slave girl on horseback, reminded in a low voice: "Slaves don't have names. ”

Sun Simiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then spoke directly and said to the slave girl: "Since you didn't have a name before, then give yourself a name." ”

Ling Chusi also nodded in agreement, and echoed: "Come up with a name!" ”

The slave girl did not agree immediately, but hesitated and tossed and turned for a long time before finally letting go of her past as a slave, with a slight redness of excitement on her cheeks, and her eyes seemed to become brighter, "First, sir...... Miss Ling," her voice still had some instinctive cowardice that had groveled beside Zhao Deyan for a long time, but the firmness between her words had already been revealed, "You can give me a name!" ”

Ling Chusi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, but she didn't say anything, but Sun Simiao, after a little hesitation, still rejected her request, looked at her deeply, and said seriously: "Your name is your own, and you yourself are also free!" You've never been anyone's vassal......"

When the slave girl heard this, her heart was shocked.

Hearing this, Ling Chusi suddenly laughed, blinked his eyes, and said in a particularly brisk voice: "You name yourself!" Be good, listen to Grandpa Sun! ”

Hearing Ling Chusi say such a sentence excitedly, Sun Simiao, who was still sincere and firm in his eyes just now, accidentally almost fell off the horse-he was almost numb to being taken on a horse by two girls, but for the sentence "Grandpa Sun" that popped up from time to time in Ling Chusi, he still couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.

If Ling Chusi was a few years younger, like a real child, maybe he would still be able to accept it, Sun Simiao thought with a blank look in his eyes and despair in his heart.

"............" Even the slave girl, after a long silence, finally had a smile on her face, and she didn't think about it for a long time, so she simply named herself Ayi.

Ayi means moon in ancient Turkic language, and after coming up with the name, her face was a little shy, but her eyes were bright, "The first time I met my husband, it was on a full moon night...... Later, when I met Miss Ling, it was when the first quarter moon was hanging in the sky. ”

Sun Simiao's face showed a slight dazed look, he smiled lightly, shook his head and sighed with a smile, and said: "I only remember, it was originally said that there was a person in Ashina Mansion who had a strange disease, and he followed him, and after arriving at the mansion, he found that there were no strange patients at all, and after that, they refused to let me go——"

Speaking of this, Ling Chusi suddenly thought of the reason why he and Ji Xiaobai had speculated that Sun Simiao would go all the way north to the Eastern Turkic territory.

"Grandpa Sun, why did you suddenly think of leaving the Great Sui and going to the Turks?" After Ling Chu thought about it, he didn't hide it, and asked directly.

Sun Simiao was stunned when he heard this, and he muttered for a moment, but he simply told them about his encounter with a plague-like poison in the border area of the Great Sui near the Eastern Turks, Khitans and other places.

“…… I consulted a lot of local books in Ashina's house, and I also tried a lot of medicinal herbs, but I really found something similar to the effect of the poison at that time. Speaking of this, Sun Simiao frowned, and continued to speculate: "The kind of poison that causes plague-like symptoms, the kind of medicinal materials needed should not come from the Great Sui, and some medicinal herbs on the Turkic side can't be completely matched, I now feel that I am beginning to doubt the Khitan." ”

Ah Yi was a little dazed when he heard this, but Ling Chusi immediately understood why Sun Simiao's guess was - it was nothing more than the raw materials of poison, and the Great Sui and Eastern Turks did not have it, so the only remaining object of suspicion in the position was the Khitan.

At this point, Sun Simiao, who was sitting behind Li Feisha, suddenly spoke: "I want to go to Khitan." ”

When Ling Chusi heard this, his eyes moved slightly, and he nodded almost without any hesitation, "I'm with Grandpa Sun!" ”

If she wants to protect the safety of the medical saint Sun Simiao's grandfather, it is naturally the most convenient to act with him.

"=Mouth=!?" Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect this development.

Immediately, before Sun Simiao could express his inner doubts, Ayi was already busy speaking: "Where Mr. and Miss Ling go, I will go!" ”

Sun Simiao stared at Ling Chusi for a long time, and couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Chu Si, aren't you going home?" ”

"No return! I'm traveling around right now, and it's the same everywhere I go. Ling Chusi rode a horse, and without looking back, she simply vetoed, and she didn't know what was going on, she couldn't use the "Divine Journey for a Thousand Miles" at all now. Anyway, she can't go back to the Tang River and Lake if she wants to, as for the current Wanhua Valley, it is still a real deep mountain valley, and there is no one else's kind, so it is not interesting for her to go back there by herself.

Seeing this, Sun Simiao didn't say anything more. Especially when I think that with Ling Chusi by my side, I am actually really safe......

Ayi said in hindsight: "Then let's go directly to the direction of Khitan now?" ”

Sun Simiao said "um", just wanted to say that after arriving in the next big town, he would have to ask the locals for directions, if there was an escort dart bureau on the same road, or along the official road with the merchant's convoy, it would be better, so that he would not lose his way and the road would be safer.

As a result, before he could speak, Ling Chusi had already nodded and explained directly to Ayi: "If you want to go to the Khitan, let's go directly to the east, all the way to the east, in the direction of the south, just walk a little distance!" ”

Feeling that he didn't say it clearly enough, Ling Chusi took advantage of the fact that the three of them were resting at noon, and simply took the other end of a pen in his hand and drew a simple map directly on the sand on the ground, drawing almost all the borders of the Eastern and Western Turks, Khitan, Murwei and the Great Sui.

"Let's go down this road!" Ling Chusi made the final decision.

-- For ordinary people, the map of territory, the map of Kanyu, or the map of military deployment, each of which is more mysterious than the other, and most people may never see it once in their lives.

Ayi was a slave girl who didn't even have a name before, and she didn't know anything about these things, even Sun Simiao, who traveled all the way, went to a town, stayed for a while, and then followed the instructions of the locals to the next town, and he had never seen anything like a map.

Therefore, for Sun Simiao and Ayi, since Ling Chusi knew the road, the two of them naturally nodded in agreement without any objection to the route she had set.

Ling Chusi, Sun Simiao, and Ayi originally walked in the direction of the Great Sui, but halfway through, they were stunned and chatted, and suddenly decided to change their route to the Khitan, but they just avoided all the people who were originally wandering on the border between the Khitan and the Sui Dynasty and waiting for the rabbit.

At the same time, in Hal and Lin Chengzhong, Zhao Deyan, who finally received Ji Xiaobai's reply, looked at the simple explanation that Ling Chusi was mistaken for the Venerable of the Flower Sect Protector Sect and made a lot of noise on the rivers and lakes, and that Zhu Yuyan of the Yin Sect in the Demon Gate had already issued a hunt and kill order, in order not to make a wedding dress for the Yin Sect and the "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan in vain, he finally crushed the last one of a set of cups with a gloomy face and according to Ji Xiaobai's words, and Shen Sheng canceled Ling Chusi's wanted warrant, Then he sketched Sun Simiao's appearance with his own letter, and then asked people to trace a few more copies and post them, but this time it was not a wanted warrant, but a naked reward.

Since ancient times, money has been moving, especially because of the precious medicinal materials that Sun Simiao used to test the medicine, the money that Zhao Deyan spent on Sun Simiao has already been a sky-high price. Although Sun Simiao was in a hurry when he was rescued by Ling Chusi, it is also true that all the medicines he had prepared in the West Courtyard had fallen into Zhao Deyan's hands.

However, it is precisely because of this that in the face of the various manuscripts and prescriptions in that study, Zhao Deyan, who was more and more truly aware of Sun Simiao's talent in the medical path, was only a little bit away from the Turkic power in the East, and was naturally even more reluctant to let Sun Simiao leave......

Ji Xiaobai now wants to protect Ling Chusi, although Zhao Deyan is a little depressed because she rescued Sun Simiao, but he doesn't care very much, and even laughs at Ji Xiaobai's choice. It's just that he will definitely not remind Ji Xiaobai, just like if he hadn't let people hang up Ling Chusi's wanted warrant, Ji Xiaobai would definitely not be the same as his identity with Ling Chusi.

Now that he and Ji Xiaobai are friends, it is because everyone is far away, and there is no conflict of interest on the surface at all, this time he and Ji Xiaobai have reached a cooperation again, for Zhao Deyan, it is just because the two of them can take what they need, anyway, in the end, just leave Sun Simiao to him!

After Ling Chusi went on the road with Sun Simiao and Ayi, it was naturally not like when she was the only one at the beginning, not to mention galloping when she was in a hurry, and there was also light work to speed up the speed.

After the three of them traveled together, Sun Simiao couldn't ride a horse, and Ayi didn't know martial arts, so Ling Chusi followed the slow and leisurely movements of the two of them, stopping and stopping along the way, and walked in the direction of Khitan without hurrying.

By the time they arrived at a small town on the border between the Eastern Turks and the Khitans, more than half a month had passed.

During the period, Hal and the tea shop owner in Lincheng had finished the New Year again, and happened to have time to accompany the proprietress back to her parents' house to visit relatives in the name, with a car of gifts, and returned to Taiyuan City in a hurry.

"That little girl's wanted warrants were all taken down overnight! I asked the aunt who was cooking in the kitchen at home to try it with an old lady who had a son at home on an errand in the government-" The owner of the tea shop still clearly remembered that the second son of the Tang Guogong Mansion still had a clear picture of the little girl in his hand, so he was quite careful when he spoke, "I heard that the original wanted warrant was issued by Ashinayan, and this time he suddenly wanted to remove all the wanted warrants, which is Ashinayan's order." ”

When Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. Li Jiancheng's heart flashed a hint of suspicion and strangeness, after all, such a change of order means that many people in the northern nomads have simple and impulsive personalities, but it is not so normal for people who are born in Turkic nobility to hold power to act like this.

"Who is the little girl in the painting, can you find it?" Li Yuan couldn't help frowning a little.

The owner of the tea shop replied respectfully: "It's been bad, but there has been no news." Most of the slaves in Ashina's house are ignorant, and we don't dare to approach and inquire about that one's confidant......"

What the owner of the tea shop said, Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng naturally knew it.

At this time, Li Jiancheng was even a little lucky, fortunately the second brother was not here today, otherwise, remembering the sparkling eyes of Li Shimin when he heard that the little girl was wanted last time, Li Jiancheng almost didn't dare to think that if the second brother knew Ling Chusi's identity and began to become confusing again, he didn't know how to make trouble in private!

Because Li Feisha and Wing Feather are rare BMW horses, so, in order not to cause any trouble because of the horse, before entering the city, Ling Chusi and his party directly dismounted and mixed in with the local crowd and walked in directly.

"We should buy a carriage." When passing by the market in this small town, Ling Chusi looked at the noisy people in the market, and suddenly said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Ayi nodded with a bright smile and said, "Mr. can't ride a horse, it's just right to ride a car, and I can also help catch the car!" ”

"......" As the only man among the three, he has been riding with people for so long, but he has never been able to learn to ride a horse.

Ling Chusi also approvingly: "Buy a bigger carriage, it's also convenient to sleep in it at night, and it's good to drive alone in normal times." ”

Ling Chusi has always been a man of action who does what he says, and after making up his mind, while today's market has not dispersed, he directly pulled Sun Simiao and Ayi to find a car and horse shop that was busy in the market.

When it was time to pick the carriage, Ling Chusi pushed Ah Yi and Sun Simiao out again, and asked the two of them to pick it, and she just waited for the payment to be paid.

To be honest, she herself is really not picky at all in this regard, thinking that when she was in the Tang River, those short-distance postmen and long-distance coaches didn't even bring a shed, but they took a car all the way from Chang'an City to Heilongnuma. There are also many people who are so aggrieved that they would rather jump out of the car halfway with a wasted fare......

Sun Simiao was born in an ordinary family in the countryside, even if his family has few assets, he will definitely not be able to spend a lot of money on a carriage.

It's Ayi, although she was born as a slave, but she couldn't stand waiting by Zhao Deyan's side before. Zhao Deyan lived an arrogant and luxurious life, that is, he had never wronged Sun Simiao, who was under house arrest in the West Courtyard, and Ayi was particularly respectful when he faced Sun Simiao, so for Sun Simiao, who was the only one who couldn't ride a horse, in a certain way, Ayi, who actually had no concept of gold and silver money, directly picked the most luxurious carriage in the local carriage and horse dealership.

Sun Simiao's face was stunned, and before he could stop it, Ling Chusi, who was not short of money, had already directly ordered the chariot and horse dealer who was squinting his eyes and smiling like a flower, and pulled the carriage onto the horse.

"That's it!" Ling Chusi simply took out the money, and the owner of the carriage and horse shop saw that it had become a big business again, and gave Ling Chusi a set of small tables, chairs, cushions and other things in the carriage to Ling Chusi and them with a smile.

After staying in the inn in this town, resting for a while, and leaving the city again, Ling Chusi and the three of them exchanged their two horses for a carriage.

At first, it was Ayi who offered to let her go to catch the car first, Sun Simiao thought about it, and then followed out - he can't learn to ride a horse, he can at least learn to drive a car first, and, instead of staying in the car with Ling Chusi, who has to call him "Grandpa Sun" from time to time, Sun Simiao feels that it is better to feel more relaxed to blow the wind outside and breathe.

However, Sun Simiao sat outside the car, and soon after leaving the city, trouble took the initiative to follow.

Looking at the Jianghu people who were in the middle of the road with a knife on his back but who were not good at coming, Ayi pulled the reins suddenly, and Sun Simiao arched his hand and tried to avoid conflict and said euphemistically: "What is the important thing about Your Excellency?" Why suddenly block our carriage? ”

The man with the knife on his back did not speak, but directly pulled the knife out from his back, raised the knife and pointed at it, and under the bright sun of winter and early spring, a silver-white streamer suddenly flashed on the blade.

"Naturally, I'm looking for you!" The Jianghu man with the knife on his back looked at Sun Simiao's face that was the same as that of the bounty order, and his face suddenly showed a bit of surprise and greed, he opened his mouth quite arrogantly, and said with a harsh smile: "You stay, others, I can consider it, leave her alive!" ”

Originally, there was some worry and fear, but once the matter involved Sun Simiao, Ayi, who suddenly became brave, suddenly opened his mouth and refused angrily: "Dream! ”

The Jianghu man who held the knife changed his face when he landed, and snorted coldly: "Toast and don't eat and drink!" ”

Originally lying on the soft blanket, still wrapped in the fur of the plush giant beast, with the carriage swaying, Ling Chusi, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up suddenly, at first he rubbed his eyes and was too lazy to climb out, at this moment, after hearing that the other party dared to make a move, he scooped up the ape bone flute that was asleep and put it aside, and lifted the curtain of the carriage with the other hand, and directly moved "Furong and Ti" to freeze the Jianghu man with a knife who rushed to the middle of the road in place, but because of the momentum that had just passed, he fell down directly, Lying directly in front of the carriage not far away.

Because there was still a small piece of red marks on her face that had been rubbed out of the fur of the giant beast, Ling Chusi's eyes were cold, she yawned at first, and then slowly made up a move "Yang Ming Finger", as a result, before she could urge the internal force to "Zhong Lin Yuxiu" and "Lan Zhenyu Fold", the person with the knife actually spit out a mouthful of blood directly "wow", his face was pale, and he was about to die.

Ling Chusden, who was still sleeping in a daze, was so shocked that he woke up, and couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "I can't carry a 'Yang Ming Finger', just like this, I dare to go out and learn to tie knots from others?!" ”

Sun Simiao reminded her in a low voice: "Listen to what he just meant, he came for me." ”

Ling Chusi frowned slightly when he heard this, jumped out of the carriage directly, brought the bloodless person over, and said casually: "Then ask questions first and then kill them!" ”

The half-dead bandit immediately twitched all over, and the corners of Sun Simiao's mouth twitched slightly, feeling that the other party was frightened by Ling Chusi's casual words just now.

After Ling Chusi brought the person over, looking at his weak appearance and as if he only had one breath left, he couldn't help frowning slightly, pondered for a while, and directly took out a small bottle of Zhongpin Blood Tonic Pill from the package, and stuffed it into the mouth of the Jianghu who was still struggling weakly with the force that could choke people, and immediately asked, "Who asked you to come over and do what?" ”

The Jianghu man with the knife trembled his lips, and under Ling Chusi's impatient questioning, he quickly said with a disgraced face that Sun Simiao was rewarded.

"Bounty?" Ling Chusi frowned slightly, she was no stranger to this kind of thing, the only thing she didn't expect was probably that the person who was rewarded was not herself, but the medical saint Sun Simiao's grandfather, a good old man who usually only works well with people.

"Who is so blind that he actually offered a reward for Grandpa Sun?" Ling Chusi exclaimed, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? ”

She was genuinely curious, but she was not polite at all when she asked.

Ah Yi, who was still worried, suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard Ling Chusi's words, and even Sun Simiao couldn't help but turn his face away and bow his head to support his forehead.

"No, I'm not mistaken...... I can't be mistaken! The man's face was as pale as paper, and he replied tremblingly, because he had just been seriously injured by Ling Chusi's "Yang Ming Finger", and his chest was hurting when he spoke.
