Because of the pressure of hurrying, Xianglian and his party, after resting in the broken temple for half the night, waited for the snow to stop, and the sky was not yet dawn, and the team began to set off again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xianglian walked out of the broken temple, she looked back at the brocade robe she was covering the little beggar, her heart was slightly sour, and she said silently: "Poor child, I hope you can sleep well, I can help you with all that."
Xianglian didn't know that when she put the brocade robe on this little beggar, the little beggar had already woken up in a daze, but the little beggar saw these strange warriors suddenly come to the broken temple, he was afraid and pretended to be asleep, motionless, in fact, he secretly glanced at Xianglian a few times, he was very moved by Xianglian to cover himself with the brocade robe, thinking that this beautiful sister is really a good person, her beautiful eyes are as beautiful as a fairy, and she is as kind as her sister, she must remember her appearance well, and she will definitely repay others if she has the opportunity in the future.
Of course, he is a little beggar, so what ability does he have to repay the kindness, but in his heart he also has a good dream of repaying the kindness, the little beggar quietly watched the Xianglian carriage leave, he held the brocade robe in his hand, smelled the faint fragrance of the brocade robe, and was fascinated, he was still reminiscing about the warm scene of this beautiful sister covering herself, and his heart was full of warm pleasure.
Unconsciously, he was wrapped in a warm brocade robe and fell asleep in a daze, he vaguely saw the beautiful sister in his dream, especially the sister's kind and amiable eyes, which made him very excited and hugged the sister's waist and said: "Sister hug, sister, you are so beautiful, I want to marry you, sister, don't leave me", gradually his sister in his mind became another woman, although this woman is just as beautiful, but her eyes are cold, full of murder, chilling, Then the two women in his mind blurred.
Last night, I was given clothes by my beautiful sister in my dream, and the first thought of the little beggar when I woke up was that I wanted to marry my daughter-in-law and marry a beautiful and kind sister like last night・・・・・
The sky is getting brighter, the heavy snow is set, and the escort Xianglian master and servant horse team continues to the north.
The sun gradually rises in the east, and the vast snowy scenery of the wilderness makes people feel beautiful and melancholy. The worried Xianglian masters and servants have no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery after the snow, and their hearts are full of fear and worry about the future.
At the beginning, Xianglian missed her lover very much, forgot to be afraid, did not expect the consequences, and volunteered to be a slave of her relatives, but now that she has calmed down, she understands that her future road is bumpy and dangerous.
Soon after the war, deserters were everywhere, especially as they got closer to the north. Although the Northern Liao defeated the Chu State and occupied Yanzhou, an important capital in the north of the Chu State, the Northern Liao had limited troops, so it could only choose to occupy some important economic and military areas.
For the vast area south of Yanzhou and north of Kyoto of Chu State, it is beyond the reach of the whip, for the Chu State, this defeat, a large number of soldiers were killed and wounded, and the capital was almost breached, so the soldiers were frightened, and the emperor of Chu was also frightened like a bird.
As a result, the emperor of Chu concentrated almost all the northern troops to defend the capital, which caused a vacuum in other parts of the north, resulting in rampant banditry.
Escorting Xianglian is the most elite warrior sent by the city lord of Xiangcheng, so although there are not many personnel, there are only more than 30 horsemen in total, but ordinary rogues and bandits do not dare to harass. Encountering a small group of bold bandits by chance, they were either driven away or beaten away. The journey has been safe.
It is generally a thirty-day journey from Xiangcheng to Chudu, the capital of Chu State, and only fifteen days from Chudu to Yanzhou. There are generally three roads to go from Xiangcheng to Yanzhou, and the farthest is 60 days; Secondly, it is about 45 days to travel from Chudu to Yanzhou.
The nearest road is about forty days away from Chudu. In order to be in a hurry, the escort team chose the nearest road.
This time, Xianglian has been from Xiangcheng for 36 days, and according to normal estimates, it will be possible to reach Yanzhou in another four or five days.
The closer they got to the destination, not only were the Xianglian masters and servants afraid, but the dry uncles who escorted the Xianglian masters and servants were also more nervous.
Uncle Ku knew that his escort task was very strong and dangerous, Uncle Ku was worried that it was not redundant, the team of rogue bandits south of Yanzhou was as few as dozens of people, and if he encountered a large group of rogue bandits, he would not be able to resist with his own team of more than 30 horsemen.
Just when Uncle Ku was worried, suddenly there was a neighing sound of horses in front, and Uncle Ku saw hundreds of cavalry coming out of the bushes in front of him.
Whether it was the Northern Liao cavalry or the Liukou bandits, between Uncle Ku's suspicion or their suspicion, these hundreds of cavalry had already surrounded Uncle Ku and his more than 30 horsemen in a fan shape.
When the dog saw it, he said, "Uncle Ku, who are these people"? Uncle Ku said coldly: "It's a rogue." Sure enough, these more than 100 cavalry were followed by hundreds of infantry dressed in various colors and holding various weapons.
The Great Liao cavalry are all scimitars, crossbow arrows, standard weapons, it is impossible to be such a variety of miscellaneous weapons.
