613 Wind Bandits
"County Lord, King Ling, he ......" Before Li Xia could speak, Ruan Yanluo shook his hand and stopped Li Xia.
"I know." Ruan Yanluo chuckled and said, "Ah Ling is making a show, he wants to protect me." โ
Li Xia shook slightly: "You know? โ
Ruan Yanluo said quietly: "I'm not a fool, if Ah Ling really doesn't want me anymore, how could he send them out of the palace one by one to report to Yan Feng and Yan Yue, and how could he leave you by my side, he knows that this palace, for you, is like his own backyard." If he really has no mercy on me, he should have killed you first. โ
"Then why are you still so sullen, county lord?" Li Xia asked suspiciously.
"Why? Perhaps, because I'm just a woman. Ruan Yanluo looked up, the trees in the forest were luxuriant, through the gaps in the stars, he could see the moon in the sky, after fifteen, the shape of the moon was no longer perfect, there were signs of mutilation.
Ruan Yanluo pondered, pondered the words, and said slowly: "The child has fallen, and Ah Ling has seen such a scene, even though I know that I am smart in exchange for this bitter fruit, but my pain is real, and it is also true that the piece of flesh and blood in my stomach is gone, no matter what the reason, I hope that Ah Ling can hug me and comfort me, but in the end, what is waiting for me is Ah Ling's sword." โ
"I don't know what the Queen Mother threatened Ah Ling, he wants to make such a move to protect me, but no matter what means the Queen Mother has, I am willing to stay and face it with Ah Ling. But he didn't give me this chance, he married Mei Xianxian, and he was forcing me to go. โ
"In the cold palace for two or three days, I hoped that Ah Ling would come over every day, his martial arts were so high, it was not impossible for him to come and see me at night without being discovered by others, but he didn't come, he didn't even want to come to see me, he didn't want me to stay there, so he was ruthless and wanted to force me to leave."
Ruan Yanluo turned to Li Xia and asked, "Xiaoxia, is my appearance really bad these days?" So bad that you don't even have the qualifications to stand side by side with him? โ
"County Lord......" Li Xia moved his lips, he didn't like Ruan Yanluo so arrogantly, and wanted to comfort him, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know what to say.
Ruan Yanluo smiled instead, hooked his lips at Li Xia and said, "We are going to the desert, I think of something related to Nangong Xuan. โ
Li Xia knew that Ruan Yanluo didn't expect him to ask, but just wanted to tell him purely, so he just stood quietly and waited for Ruan Yanluo's next words.
"Not long after the Flower Gathering Party, I said to Nangong Xuan, Tianyao's palace is nothing more than a gorgeous cage for me, and I would rather be displaced in this life, rather upside down and tortured than enter this cage."
With a faint bitterness on his face, Ruan Yanluo said: "It can be seen that people's words can't be too full, I entered the palace, and now I am really displaced, and the days ahead, I am afraid it will be even harder." โ
Hearing these words, Li Xia did not persuade Ruan Yanluo, but said seriously: "County Lord, a qiฤ upside down torture, all for Buddhahood, suffering now, does not mean suffering in the future, you and King Ling, there will be a day when we will meet again." โ
Ruan Yanluo finally showed a real smile and said to Li Xia: "Then I will accept your auspicious words." โ
The group traveled for more than ten days, and finally reached the desert border in early July.
The desert is adjacent to Shikoku and is a shortcut between countries, and for merchants, many businesses, one day earlier, are a lot of silver, so although wind thieves are rampant, there are still many merchants who travel through the desert from here.
The desert has its own rules of the desert, some caravans and caravans rely on the large number of people, and have never cared about the time, and the single merchant or the small number of people will not work, if there are many people, the wind thieves will rob some money at most, some similar to modern protection fees, and if there are few people, some wind thieves will simply kill the people and rob all the things they bring.
To be on the safe side, solo traders and people with fewer people tend to stop at the edge of the desert and wait until there are more people before hitting the road together. And the people who stopped, naturally, had to eat, drink, and Lazar, and some border residents saw the opportunity to provide such services nearby, and over time, a small town was formed.
Ruan Yanluo didn't want to be too conspicuous in the desert, so he made up his mind to form a business group with a single merchant and cross the desert together, just to pay some money.
Therefore, when he arrived in the town, he saw that there were not too many people, so Ruan Yanluo simply rested.
Yan Qing and they have lost news for more than a month, plus the ten days they have been on the road, it has been nearly two months, no matter what happens, these times are enough, so they are not in a hurry in this day or two.
But he can't really rest, when he has nothing to do, Ruan Yanluo takes people to the teahouse to ask for a pot of tea, some snacks, listen to the chats of people from the south and the north, and also learn about the situation in the desert by the way.
Every day in the teahouse, there are merchants talking about several major forces in the desert, and Ruan Yanluo only sat for half an hour before finding out the situation there.
There are dozens of wind thieves in the desert, but the largest are only four, and they are all named after animals.
Needless to say, Nangong Xuan's Southern Fox also has the Northern Bear in the north, the Eastern Wolf in the east, and the Western Fox in the west.
Ruan Yanluo laughed after hearing this, this southern fox and northern bear, the wolf screamed in embarrassment, and it actually had a bit of Jin Yong's novel.
Among these four forces, the power of the North Bear is the largest, although the South Fox is a latecomer, but second, and although the individual strength of the East Wolf and the West Wolf is not as good as the first two, these two have always been friends, but they really respond to the word wolf bรจi for the traitor, no matter who wants to move one side, the other party will definitely come to support, and the two also know that each other is a relationship between the lips and the teeth, so although there are some small battles between each other, but in the matter of the survival of the relationship, it is unanimous.
Ruan Yanluo is going to the north to go to Hanguo this time, and what he wants to pass through is the territory of the Northern Bear, I heard that this Northern Bear is like his name, he is a brute bear, and he is completely unreasonable in case of trouble, how much money he charges, whether he kills or not, it all depends on his mood at the time.
Hearing this information, Ruan Yanluo was really a little depressed, I don't know if the big bear would be in a good mood on the day they passed guรฒ, if not, they would have to be a hero who killed the bear.
After waiting for three or four days in a row, the number of people gradually increased, and the date was set, and the day after tomorrow was set off.
On this day, Ruan Yanluo was still sitting in the teahouse drinking tea and listening to people's chatter, and suddenly heard a commotion in the teahouse, and someone shouted: "A pot of tea costs 30 yuan, why don't you go to the wind thief and rob?" โ
