Chapter 212: The Return Trip
The moon is sparse and the stars are bright, and the stars in the sky seem to hang low in front of you.
Gu Xinyue looked up at the boundless starry sky, and only felt that her head was empty for a while.
When Gu Jia was hunted down, Gu Mohan fought so many Rouran warriors, and she was also wholeheartedly on top of the battle, and then she fled for her life, until she settled down in Che's city, and Chao Brain told her that her anger had reached 300,000.
Because of the people Gu Mohan killed, and she personally followed and participated, the fighting spirit, anger and unwillingness of those people, and the despair at the time of death were all transformed into vitality and absorbed.
Gu Xinyue was startled by a sudden pat on the shoulder, and just as she was about to scream, she covered her mouth again, and glared at Gu Mohan who suddenly appeared beside her.
Didn't you break a leg? Can you still be so elusive!
Gu Mohan smiled, hooked her neck, took her hand away, kissed her on the lips, and whispered, "I'm back." ”
"How?" Gu Xinyue lifted the curtain, pushed him in, and asked in a low voice.
"Wait a minute, let's go." Gu Mohan rolled up his trouser legs, looked at the bandages on his legs, and said softly.
Gu Xinyue also looked at the slightly red and blue place, frowning slightly, but still nodded.
After three months of injured muscles and bones, his bones were injured like that, even if she had surgery first, plus Qinglianzi and Dr. Liu's medicine, it was not so easy to get better.
The place that finally grew up was shaken by him like this, and there were signs of cracking.
If you travel long distances......
However, since Gu Mohan said this, it means that he can't help but go.
"Xinyue," Gu Mohan looked up, saw the look on her face, smiled slightly, put his forehead against her forehead, and said softly: "In the next few days, it will depend on you." ”
"Huh?" Gu Xinyue was surprised.
"You ride a horse and take me."
The place where the conference was held was not far from Che's City, and at dawn, the territory of Che's City began to be lively, some people would stay to watch the second day's game, and some would pack up their things and go back.
Gu Mohan drove the carriage to follow those who went back, but he just turned a corner before entering the city and headed to the grassland in the south.
Surrounded by a hill there, Mura was waiting for them with two horses.
"The water and food are over there, it's medicine." Mulla pointed to the horse with a few large burdens, and then handed the small baggage in his hand to Gu Xinyue.
"Thank you!" Gu Xinyue said gratefully.
"No, you don't." After Mura smiled at her, he turned his head to look at Gu Mohan and said, "I only hope that the general can fulfill his promise and open up the trade routes here in the Western Regions, so that our Che City can be completely independent." ”
"Ah...... He ...... "Gu Xinyue was a little flustered and wanted to explain, but when she saw the determined look on Mula's face, she simply stopped talking.
This person, just by looking around the market, you can guess her details, how can a person with such a cautious mind not see Gu Mohan's strange appearance.
No matter how patient he is, the murderous aura on Gu Mohan's body can't be hidden.
It was a blade sharpened on the battlefield, in a sea of blood.
"Good! I promise you. Gu Mohan nodded, put his feet on the stirrup a little, and the person flew on the horse, bent down and pulled Gu Xinyue up again.
"The Rouran people are gathering troops, this time, they are the three major kings' tents acting at the same time, I am afraid that there will be a patrol in front, this is a map of a secret passage, you go from here." Mula grabbed the reins, took out a parchment roll from his arms, and handed it to Gu Mohan.
Gu Mohan took the parchment roll and looked at it a few times, and said with a smile: "The young city lord is really powerful. ”
No wonder horse thieves are rampant, and the trade routes are impassable, but the tea and silk of the Chu State in the Che city can still be seen, and sure enough, it is profitable, and some people have the courage to go.
"The general is laughing at me, Che's city is a small city, and there are only 100,000 people in my clan, if you want to survive, you can only swallow your anger, but my Che clan used to be the eagle of the grassland." Mura smiled faintly.
Che's City was originally the main road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions and even further on the western trade road, at that time, caravans came and went, and goods from all over the world could be found in Che's City.
Che's City was once the most dazzling pearl of the Western Regions.
However, after the trade routes of the Chu State were blocked by Rouran, the Che City gradually declined, and now, it is even more Rouran people who want to occupy it, and they have to offer it with both hands if they want their things.
If the Che clan continues like this, sooner or later it will become a slave city.
"I see." Gu Mohan nodded, glanced back at the place where the conference was held, and said, "Then the young master still has to prepare early, Rouran and Chu State, I'm afraid that it won't be long before there will be a big war." ”
Mura's expression froze, and he said softly, "Sure enough." ”
Loosening the reins, Mura took a few steps back, his arms crossed his chest, his body bent, and made the most formal salute of the Che clan, saying: "Mura wishes General Mura prosperity and invincibility." ”
"Accept your auspicious words, then, I also wish you to keep your city, and as soon as the trade route opens, Che's City will definitely become the most dazzling pearl in the Western Regions." Gu Mohan raised his eyebrows and smiled, put his foot on the horse's belly a little, waited for a few steps and then turned back and said, "Remember, you have to save your life, otherwise, my wife's tea will be sold to others." ”
"And Dr. Liu." Gu Xinyue also looked back and smiled: "If you really like Dr. Liu, hurry up and find a chance to save the beauty heroically, next time we meet, I hope to drink your happy wine!" ”
"I like that!" Mula laughed, raised his hand and threw a small money bag to Gu Xinyue and said, "Give it to you." ”
"Thank you!" After thanking her, Gu Xinyue opened the money bag and saw that there were several crystal clear gems inside, and she was immediately overjoyed.
But the joy didn't last long, and the money bag was taken away by Gu Mohan, and he threw it back with his backhand, and said angrily: "Send your doctor Liu!" ”
Money!
Gu Xinyue watched the money bag fall into Mu La's hand in an arc, and watched his laughing face gradually fade away and become smaller, and the money bag disappeared completely.
I was so depressed.
"We don't want him, I'll give it to you." Gu Mohan lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "Give you ten boxes." ”
"Ten boxes?" Gu Xinyue was surprised.
"Well, let's go from the Star Gorge and rest there for the night, well, there are many, many gems there, you can pick them up." Pointing to the map given by Mura, Gu Mohan chuckled.
What kind of Mula, I still want to send you something, hum!
Wait and see!
Where can I pick up gems anywhere?
You're a ghost!
Gu Xinyue glared at him angrily, but it was impossible to say that he would go back to Mura to ask for it, so he could only sit down, and after Gu Mohan pointed out the direction, let Gu Mohan lean on his back to make up for sleep.
The two horses walked for two days and one night, and arrived at Xingxia at nightfall the next day.
The giant axe splits the skin of the mountain, and the mountain spirit has thick bones.
The mountain range that continues from the Tien Shan Mountains has left a majestic mountain line in the grassland desert.
The Star Gorge is the mouth of the gorge between two tall mountain peaks.
At this time, the bright moon is in the sky, and the rocks on the mountain are white and crystalline, shining in the moonlight, like a sky full of stars, and like a gem covering the entire gorge.
Extremely dazzling.
Gu Xinyue exclaimed unconsciously.
"Do you like it?" Gu Mohan hugged her waist from behind, took the reins from her hand, rode his horse, and walked up the mountain road tick-tock.
"I like it." Seeing that the horse's hooves shook out a halo when they stepped on it, Gu Xinyue chuckled.
Before he finished speaking, he heard a sharp eagle chirping from the sky.
In the sky, a black feather shadow pierced the sky.
