Chapter 22 There are Jiuqing's acquaintances everywhere
"Ninth Master!"
Dabu took the lead to greet him, and the others gave Jiuqing a salute. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After introducing each other, Dabuyi's people looked curiously at the two extra women in Jiuqing's team, one of whom had seen it, and it was the woman who was stumped under the handicap. Jiuqing didn't explain too much, no one thought that in fact, Jiuqing and Wan Niang are old friends, Wan Niang is not only extraordinary in martial arts, but also an adventurous person, especially knows the Gobi Desert very well, legend has it that she was born in the desert, and some people say that she was abandoned by her parents in the desert, all unknown. Jiuqing needed to form a team when he crossed the desert for the first time, and there was a late mother among the people who formed a team at that time, and the two appreciated each other at that time and formed a friendship, and the late mother was not from Jiuyuan, but Jiuqing walked this desert, and she naturally wanted to come.
"Ninth Master, I have a message from my hand, the situation has changed somewhat, it must arrive within twenty days, I can add money!"
There was a trace of anxiety in Da Buyi's eyes, but it was not shown on his face, he had always been very polite to Jiuqing, if it was someone else, he would definitely not be able to reach Talai in twenty days, because even if the road was a broad road, it would take ten days to ride a horse to get there, and to reach Talai from here, he had to pass through a vast desert, where quicksand and Gobi abounded, not to mention the sandstorms that could be encountered anytime and anywhere. But this is Jiuqing, and people in the rivers and lakes say that there is no place that Jiuqing can't reach, and there is no hurdle that he can't pass. No one on Jiuqing's side shouted 'impossible' in surprise, but exchanged opinions together, Jiuqing and Wanniang chatted more together, and then Jiuqing looked up at Da Buyi
"Since you are in a hurry, my wife and I have changed the route, it may be more dangerous, but it is very effective, if you are lucky, you can arrive in half a month, and if you are not good, you can also guarantee that it will be within twenty days. There is no need to add money, this is our family's Mu Sanye, the third master often says, human relations, Da Gongzi remembers our third master's favor. ”
Dabu immediately waved his hand at Mu Ze
"Mu Sanye's favor, someone must keep it in mind!"
Looking up, Mu Ze's face is no longer wearing a mask, he is handsome and extraordinary, and his temperament is dusty, such a noble and awe-inspiring person is probably also a big man, and it is always a good thing that such a person can know more. Mu Ze's heart was shaken, he didn't expect Jiuqing to say this, remember this favor to him, if he can really ascend the throne as a king, the king's favor will always have weight. Looking sideways at Jiuqing, Jiuqing didn't look at him, but watched Beicheng arrange all the luggage, and everyone rode on the road.
At the beginning, the road from Lingzhou to the desert was easy to walk, because of the time limit, this road was the fastest, and it took five days to reach the edge of the desert. Looking at the vast sea of sand in front of us, although the sun is very big, but because it is not yet March, the temperature is not high, and the desert wind is strong, rolling the yellow sand and blowing on the top of the head, everyone is wrapped tightly, only showing a pair of eyes.
Beicheng gave everyone something, this is a bracket made of iron birch, with a wide surface with elastic and very tough straps wrapped around the back, and in the middle of the bracket there are two thin slices as clear as glass, but obviously harder.
"This is a goggles, after entering the desert, when encountering strong winds, you can wear them to protect your eyes, and you can also see things in strong winds."
Dabu was amazed with a goggles, their country has been dealing with desert mountains for hundreds of years, and can predict various desert climate changes, so as to avoid natural disasters, but no one has made such a thing that can see things in the wind, in this era when the windows are made of paper paste, glass is something that only nobles can afford, and Jiuqing uses it as a tool, which proves an old saying, there is a gift to get.
Along the way, Jiuqing rarely spoke, occasionally whispered a few words to Wanniang, and then checked Mu Yu's situation, this girl was very strong, and she didn't say a word all the way. In this dart, Beicheng is the conductor, and his opinion naturally comes from Jiuqing. Although Dabu Yi's people grew up on the edge of the desert, but after all, they left the desert, and they can predict the danger in the desert, but they can't resist, when Jiuqing broke through the Sanya Desert, which is called the land of death, it was a few years ago, and Dabu Yi remembered this name at that time, since he was exiled by his relatives, he has been planning to find Jiuqing one day and return from this desert.
"It's just a shoal, the horses can go forward, let's ride the horses for another day, let's go!"
Beicheng made a gesture, and everyone packed their bags and marched forward. The desert was windy, and the wind blew the yellow sand on the face, and everyone's neck gloves were pulled under the goggles, and they simply ate some dry food along the way, and then went all the way until the sun set in the west.
The desert became wider and wider, and the sand became deeper and deeper, and after the speed of the horses slowed down significantly, I saw a dozen dromedaries in front of them, gathered together, an old man and a young man leaning against a camel smoking a dry tobacco, and when they saw the horse team, they got up and stood up. The old man's face was dark, and his face was full of folds left by the years, but he could see that his body was very tough, and the corners of his mouth were very big, and he seemed to be very happy.
"Daddy Kui, Fusheng has been brought, are you really going to retire?"
Beicheng got off the horse and walked in front of the old man, who laughed
"Fusheng is married, and my daughter-in-law has just given birth to a baby, and the two of them let me go home to tease my grandson to take care of my life, and this business will let Fusheng go away in the future."
"Brother Beicheng!"
The young man stepped forward to greet Beicheng, Beicheng patted him on the shoulder, time flies quickly, this kid has all the children!
"Yo, Ninth Master, you take the dart yourself~!"
When the old man saw the group of people who came forward, he immediately recognized Jiuqing, and his expression became more respectful.
"Daddy Kui."
Jiuqing pulled down the neck sleeve and smiled at the old man.
"Ninth Master, you want to take the Xudu line, let me take you away!"
The old man looked serious, that was the road of death in this desert, he picked up merchants in the desert, and generally only needed to bring people to a certain distance, but if the ninth master walked in person, he would also go to the capital, he wanted to accompany the ninth master to go over, even if he was buried in the capital.
"Daddy Kui, say okay, you just give us the camels, and when you get to Xudu, I will let them come back by themselves, don't worry, I will pass safely."
Jiuqing's tone was calm, what else did the old man say, Beicheng handed over a bag and said to the old man
"Don't worry, Daddy Kui, I'm following the Ninth Master, and the Late Mother, it's definitely fine, take this, one is the dart silver, the other is the mind of the Ninth Master, you go home and marinate the venison leg meat with peace of mind, I and the Ninth Master come back and want to ask for a glass of wine!"
The old man knew that the things set by the ninth master would not change, so he no longer insisted, this bag of silver must have greatly exceeded the normal dart silver, and the ninth master did this every time, so he should have retired a long time ago, but he was ready to retire until he was close to ancient times, and he also wanted to provide more cheap for the ninth master.
"Ninth Master, Xiaobei, I have prepared some bacon meat, dry food and wine, if something happens, I will slaughter the camel, don't feel distressed."
Jiuqing didn't say anything, but Beicheng laughed
"Daddy Kui, if Jiu Ye and I want to slaughter camels to survive, we won't be able to mix in Jiuyuan~! You can go home with your grandchildren, and the camels will run home one by one! ”
The old man smiled hesitantly, too, the ability of the Ninth Master, even if something happens, can turn the danger into a disaster, this is the Ninth Master!
"Then the old man will not delay the ninth master's trip, he must go to the house when he comes back, the old man will prepare bacon and wine and wait for you to come back."
Jiuqing nodded, but when he heard the old man blow his whistle, the camels stood up in unison and lined up in an orderly manner, among which there was also a double hump, Bactrian camels are generally relatively short and not suitable for walking in such a desert, but this Bactrian camel is very tall. The old man and his son turned the salute on horseback to the camel, led the horse, and watched the procession of the Ninth Master march farther into the desert.
