Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Secret of the Box
Suddenly, the white-clothed general had already changed several pack carts, and the bottom of the boxes on the carts had cracks inserted by the long sword.
The sword came in and out with a little powder, but there was nothing strange about it.
When the Velvet Embroidery people in the rear rushed over, the white-clothed general had already retreated to the city gate, and the long sword was unsheathed. Facing the angry eyes of more than a thousand people, a cold wind drifted in his heart, but fortunately he was fast enough. The Velvet Embroidery Clan, who can beat the inner court guards to cripples before returning them, doesn't want to provoke them to become the second pig's head.
Because the people who embroidered velvet were a little restless, the searching soldiers returned to the team one after another with great interest, but nothing was found.
"Lord Herchen," said the white-clothed general kindly, "you can go out of the city, but these velvet embroiderers" reminds me that the velvet embroiderers cannot go out of the city.
Herchen swallowed the anger just now and glared at the other party coldly, "This is the wedding rule of my velvet embroidery!" ”
Pulling the camel to turn his head, he sang loudly, "My soul returns, the hometown of my heart!" My daughter is married, full of joy! He folded his arms over his chest and expressed his gratitude!
All the velvet embroidery people collectively spread out to the sides, making way for the way, and at the same time singing the wedding ballad just now, and watched the team of Herchen slowly leave the city gate.
Hulan Jue stood on the city tower holding the hilt of his sword and watched this line meander away, with mockery in his eyes. There must be secrets in those boxes, but he's not in a hurry, someone will deliver them to him.
Turning around and looking at the slowly retreating Velvet Embroidery clan under the city, the corners of his mouth tightened, making such a big battle, just to give a marriage? Raise your hand to summon your personal guard, "What's going on in the inner city?" ”
"It's nothing out of the ordinary!"
Hulan Jue pursed his lips, he always felt that such a big battle was for!
"Keep an eye on the inner city!"
"Yes, my king!"
……
"I'm going to rest, it's too hot!"
For the tenth time, everyone indifferently ignored the shouts of the delicate women in the carriage and continued on their way.
"Are you all deaf? Can't hear me? A woman with a white sand face poked her head out and slapped the door frame of the sign carriage to attract everyone's attention, "Go and tell my Abba, I want to rest, I'm not feeling well!" ”
The man who was driving the car did not answer, and the maids who were walking on both sides of the carriage also hurried with their heads down. They were more tired than the one in the car, but unfortunately no one dared to go to the front to ask again. They had been there once before, and Lord Herchen just told them indifferently that anyone who wanted to rest should rest, but when they stopped to rest, they found that the team did not stop and continued to move forward!
Walking out of the Hulan Royal City and entering this desert without people, these beautiful maids are like silk flowers without support, not knowing how to survive. Lord Herchen and the caravan are the only ones they can rely on, so forget about this unreliable girl!
With no one to take care of him, Parlan slipped back into the carriage in frustration and stumbled.
It was only in the evening that the caravan stopped and set up camp in the endless desert.
Parlan was helped out of the car by the maids, the space of the carriage was small, not as big as the room where she slept, and her legs and feet were numb.
"Abba!" Limping to the front, Parlan carefully pulled Herchen's sleeve, and the sore tears on his legs came out, "My legs are numb!" ”
Herchen looked at his daughter with some disappointment, he had only left Hulan City for a day, he actually regretted it a little, he gave such a daughter to the clan, can he still teach it well? Will it affect the clan?
If it weren't for his daughter secretly sending a letter to the royal court, how could he have gone to great lengths to arrange a scene this morning?
I didn't expect that poisonous woman to be able to control her inner house so far? I didn't expect that what she wanted was actually that girl! Thinking about the situation in the clan, Herchen coldly threw off his sleeves, "Hurry up and take care of yourself, go back to the car to rest when you are full, and you have to hurry tomorrow morning!" ”
"Abba!"
Not comforted by what he had imagined, Parland sobbed sadly, the voice like a child who had lost his mother.
Herchen felt sad in his heart, but he looked at the twenty or so beautiful maids who had successfully accosted the men of his caravan, and his eyes instantly became cold again.
When the moon was dark, a layer of wind and sand rose on the desert, obscuring the surrounding vision, and there was a faint sound of tinkling and clanging from the outside of the convoy, like an evil ghost traveling, making the people resting in place huddle closer together for some comfort.
Everyone slept badly this night, because of the sound of the wind and sand chiseling holes, which lasted for most of the night, until the morning light shone on the body, and there was a little warmth to lose the creepy feeling.
Breakfast is very simple, just like last night, hot water for dry food!
Having hastily taken care of itself, the caravan set out on the road to the west again.
Only a maid looked at it strangely, and it always felt like a shorter pack car, but yesterday it was clear that each car was nearly twenty feet long, right? Right?
I looked at the box on the car a few times with some uncertainty, how did I feel that the box was also a little shorter?
Is it too tired and hallucinating?
Without giving her a chance to think about it more, the caravan began another day's long journey.
It turns out that the merchant is so hard!
Every day, you have to keep hurrying and drinking as little water as possible, so as not to get lost because you have to stop and shout. It was only dry food, no other meat, not to mention vegetables!
The most terrifying thing is the night, the ghostly sounds around make everyone frightened, and more than 20 maids leaned tightly together, not daring to move around at will.
The men who are accustomed to this part of the road in the Velvet Embroidery City have no resistance to the delicate daughter's family, and they will find an opportunity to comfort these flowers who are gradually emaciated during the day, "This is the sound of the wind and sand chiseling holes, because there are some stone grottoes on the sand, and the wind and sand walk through the sound, and it sounds a little hairy!" ”
"Isn't it a ghost?" A charming woman looked very young, and asked in fear by the sleeve of her sister's coat.
"I've heard Grandma say that there are a lot of ghosts who have died unjustly in the desert, and if they can't be reborn, they will come out every night to find living people to eat!" Another maidservant also came over.
"Ah, it's scared!" The little girl from before was so frightened that she quickly retracted her head.
"I heard that the most terrifying thing in the desert is the sand wolf, if you are bitten by the sand wolf, even if you can't die at that time, the sand wolf won't live long if you are poisoned!"
"What's this? I listen to the people in the royal court, and the scariest thing in the desert is the sand thieves! Those men who came with the wind and scattered like sand! ”
The gossiping maids talked about the desert solitary books they had heard, and they had a hot fight with the men of the caravan.
Herchen handed a bowl of hot water soaked in dry food to the somewhat wilted Parland, "Eat more, so that you have the strength to continue your journey!" ”
Parlan was sick, she had been pampered since she was a child, and she couldn't stand such a long journey, so she swallowed the pills given by Herchen, drank some blistered dry food, and lay down in a heavy blanket and fell into a deep sleep.
"What are the sand pirates like?"
"It's said to be handsome!"
"Who said that those are devils who kill people without blinking!"
"If only I could meet someone!"
"Hee-hee-hee, our Tarna is spring!"
"Hahaha!"
Herchen ate the blistered dry food left at the bottom of the bowl, his face was full of mockery, he would run into it, don't worry!
