Chapter Seventy-Six: Departure
After Li Sanqi returned to his residence, he saw that Minglian was still drinking tea leisurely.
Minglian saw Li Sanqi's reluctant look, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter?"
Li Sanqi looked at Minglian, sighed, and said reluctantly: "I'm afraid I'm going to leave here today." ”
The teacup that Minglian had just lifted slipped to the ground, splashing Minglian with water on her body, and she didn't care. Minglian looked at Li Sanqi faintly, looking lonely, and asked in a lost tone, "Are you leaving?"
"yes! it's time to leave, after being here for so long, it's time to go. Li Sanqi didn't look at Minglian, for fear that he couldn't hold back his tears, and said dumbfoundedly: "I want to try all the way, and I'm going to go to the imperial capital to have a look." ”
"Imperial Capital?" As soon as Ming Lian heard the word Imperial Capital, she immediately jumped up and said happily: "You said you were going to the Imperial Capital?"
"Yes, what's wrong, is there a problem?" Li Sanqi rolled his eyes.
"Haha! No problem, do you know? My home is near the imperial capital, and I miss it very much after being away from home for so long, so why don't we go together!" Minglian didn't have the loss just now, but was even more joyful, and when she thought that she could stay with Li Sanqi for a longer time, her heart was excited, and she wanted to leave now.
"Okay!" Li Sanqi was also very happy in his heart, the loneliness on his face turned to joy, his brows had already been put on the branches, and his eyebrows were dancing.
"Let's go!" Minglian grabbed Li Sanqi and walked out.
"Is it so fast?" Li Sanqi wondered.
"Anyway, we are all cultivators, there are no mundane things, we can leave when we want, come when we want, the sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, it's all very simple. Minglian's snatching made Li Sanqi have no chance to speak, so he had no choice but to follow Minglian and leave here.
Li Sanqi glanced back at this place, wanting to remember this place. I thought to myself, maybe I'll never come back here!
When Li Sanqi passed by the mercenary sappers, his heart moved, he stopped, and said to Minglian: "Minglian, should we go in and see if there are any tasks that can be taken by the way, anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle." ”
Minglian thought about it, yes, otherwise it would be dull along the way, and there would definitely be a lot less fun. Not only can you earn some commissions, but you can also add extraordinaryness along the way, why not? So, Minglian nodded and agreed. After seeing Minglian agree, Li Sanqi and the two walked into the mercenary union to find a task.
was looking for a task, Li Sanqi was moved, and hurriedly took it. Hurriedly handed over Minglian's shield and his own shield. The staff smiled and said, "Two, I have received the task for you, you can go and wait for your employer at Dongchengkou, Tunxi District." Li Sanqi thanked him, and then pulled Minglian to the entrance of Dongcheng.
Minglian asked, "What task, so anxious." Li Sanqi said to Minglian: "It is to protect a caravan from Tunxi District to Huanxi County." Not only did he hire us, but he also hired a mercenary group, and in short, we were here to mix missions and make money. ”
Hearing Li Sanqi say this, Minglian always felt that something was wrong in her heart, and when she saw that the wood was already in the boat, she had to say: "I hope so!"
Li Sanqi and Minglian waited here for nearly half an hour, when they saw more than a dozen carriages pulling full truckloads of goods, followed by a team of about twenty mercenaries with fierce faces, walking towards Li Sanqi and the two.
Coming to Li Sanqi and Minglian, a man with a face full of flesh, his eyes were too small to see, but his eyes revealed a trace of shrewdness, his body was extremely fat, about two people wide, and he rode out slowly, only to see that the horse had shrunk slightly. As soon as he got off the horse, the ground trembled unconsciously, and he came to Li Sanqi, although it was only a dozen meters away, he was already out of breath and sweating profusely. wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "The two must be the mercenaries who take over the task! Hello! My surname is Jin, and I am the third in the family, so I am called Jin Laosan." ”
"Li Sanqi!"
"Minglian!" the two of them also returned the salute at the same time.
Jin Laosan turned around and shouted, "Come on, prepare horses for these two young heroes, and then immediately set off for Huanxi County!" Soon, a subordinate took out two horses from the caravan. Seeing that Li Sanqi and the others had already mounted their horses, Jin Laosan shouted: "Everyone, brothers, it's on the road!"
Watching the caravan move forward slowly, when Li Sanqi saw the people of the mercenary group, his eyes were extremely sharp when he looked at the murderous aura emanating from them. Li Sanqi and Minglian hung behind the mercenary group, watching their uniform steps and move forward in a steady and orderly manner, Li Sanqi couldn't help but admire: "What a strong strength, such a terrible execution." ”
Minglian also praised: "After they joined the mercenary group, they all put their personal life and death out of their minds, they live on the knife every day, and if they are not careful, they will not see the sun tomorrow." What they do between them is to trust their teammates and give their backs to their teammates. They joined the mercenary group, either for money, or to improve their strength and hone their perseverance. They are a group of fearless people. They are a hard-working people. ”
Li Sanqi listened to Minglian's explanation, looked at them a few more times, and admired them heartily in his heart.
Walked for a day, but didn't walk much. One is to constantly survey the situation ahead, and the other is that there are too many goods, and the horses are walking slowly.
At sunset, the sky is dyed red and dazzling. The sunset dragged the shadows of the caravan for a long time. Gradually, the figure was parallel to the horizon.
Jin Laosan looked at the sky, the sun was about to set all over the mountain. Traveling at night is a taboo for caravanserans. Jin Laosan stopped his horse and immediately shouted: "Everyone, you're tired from walking all day! Let's go to the forest ahead to rest for one night before we leave." Brothers step up. ”
The group came to the forest and soon lit a bonfire, and the burning flame dispelled the cold of the night and shone on their bodies warmly.
"Hurry up, you group of people set up tents, you group of people patrol, you group of people set up fires and cook, move quickly. There were bursts of shouting, and Li Sanqi looked back, it was Hu Leng, the head of the mercenary regiment that he knew from Jin Laosan's mouth, who was constantly giving orders there, and the members were all in order to organize everything here in a tight and orderly manner according to the instructions of the regiment leader.
Hu Leng looked at his members who were already working there in an orderly manner. So, Hu Leng strode in front of Li Sanqi. Li Sanqi looked up, and there were a few scars on Hu Leng's face, which was a little more manly. Hu Leng said to Li Sanqi: "Our people watched the first half of the night, can you watch the second half of the night?" Although Hu Leng said in a consultative tone, what he said was unquestionable.
Li Sanqi didn't say much, since the two of them are in a cooperative relationship, they can't just work while the two of them rest here! After seeing Li Sanqi's agreement, Hu Leng said: "Those who watch the night can't drink." After speaking, whether Li Sanqi agreed or not, he took a thick step and left here.
Li Sanqi looked at the wine glass that had just been warmed in his hand, sighed speechlessly, smelled the wine, and said: "Originally, I wanted to drink wine to refresh my mind and warm my body, but now it seems that I can't drink it." Li Sanqi put away the wine.
Li Sanqi was eating the food tastelessly, but he heard the mercenary group, where a group of people were around the fire, singing: no horses, no quiet bells, no car fragrance, no hoof marks in the barren grassland, no men holding horse reins in dry food bags. Only the echo of the empty valley, looking up to the sky and howling, still stretched the anxiety of the woman's day and night watch. A woman, a woman who is hot when she thinks about it, is a pot of old wine that is warm day and night in the caravan, and a long whip that urges the men to eat and sleep non-stop.
After the song, Hu Leng stood up and shouted, "Brothers, we have lived another day. Brothers, come on, the future is created in our hands, and our hard work today is only much easier for our next generation than us. Brothers, let's do it, I'll do it first for respect!"
"Captain, we've drunk too!" the rest of the group replied loudly. After drinking, there will be loud singing, loud eating, in order to respect a better tomorrow, in order to respect a better life!
After Li Sanqi listened, he was moved. For yourself, for your family, for life, for everything, come on a group of strong strangers.
How can there be any quiet years, but someone carries the weight for you!
