Chapter 4: Horse Thief Secrets
The sun rose very early in the Gobi, and when Lin Xi woke up, the guys in the caravan had already begun to prepare breakfast. The guys who accompanied him were already very skilled at doing this. In the big marching pot, chopped bacon, add the seasoning powder, a little chopped japonica rice, a big bread per person, and a huge bowl of meat porridge This is the caravan's breakfast.
"Lin Xi, what kind of smell does this smell on your body?" asked Lao Li Tou, pinching his nose.
Lin Xi realized that a thick layer of black mud had formed on his body at some point, exuding a strong fishy smell. Almost fainted by the smell of his body, and with a strange scream, Lin Xi ran towards the ancient well not far away with the bucket.
"What did you do last night, kid. The smell of this body almost didn't smoke Lao Tzu. Lao Li looked at Lin Xi's back and muttered to himself.
I rubbed my whole body seven or eight times, looking at the black water flowing down my body. Lin Xi looked confused, how did he get this mud after a sleep. "What the hell!" Lin Xi muttered after taking a shower, looking at the newly bought Mai and feeling worried. This dress really can't be worn, it's all black, sticky, and smelly, I don't know what it is.
"Kid, wear this. You're wearing this dress, or you're going to be dressed in this dress," Lao Li Tou walked over with a coarse cloth of his own.
Lin Xi hurriedly blocked the key point with a bucket, and Lao Li put his clothes on the rocks by the well.
"Stinky boy, hurry up and put on your clothes and come back after dinner, and you're about to leave. After speaking, Lao Li Tou walked towards the caravan with his hands behind his back.
Lin Xi quickly put on the clothes brought by Lao Litou, although he was a little fat, he finally had clothes that could cover his shame. On the way to take a bath, the dog suddenly found that his original dark arms had become much whiter.
"Lin Xi, hurry up and eat... Lin Xi, how have you changed?" Lao Li Tou was a little surprised when he looked at Lin Xi in front of him.
"It's a lot of spirit, and it's a lot whiter. Lin Xi, what did you do last night. "Old Li Tou's face is gossiping. Lin Xi was also confused, while eating breakfast. Grunted.
"Uncle Li, I don't know what's going on. I slept by the fire all night. Didn't you go there? Am I sleepwalking?"
"Old Li Tou, hurry up and pack your things and get ready to go. The Zhenbei Army can't wait for us, the front is going to the Black Wind Mouth, everyone cheers up today, I heard that it has not been peaceful recently, although there is the Zhenbei Army, there will be no stupid thieves who don't open their eyes to come out to make trouble, but it's still not a big mistake to be careful. The leader of the caravan gave instructions to every coachman.
Heifengkou is the last dangerous place from Huangsha Town to Lieyang City, where hundreds of sand bandits are entrenched all year round. Three hundred miles to the north, here is the Land of Chaos. It was the gap between the Wuyang Empire and the Celestial Star Empire, and within a radius of three thousand miles, several small countries were at war. The two empires needed a buffer, so they both acquiesced to the existence of several small states. So this has become a chaotic area, the city head changes the king's flag has become commonplace, and the inferior roots of human nature are vividly interpreted here, the father kills the son, the brother kills the brother, the siblings kill each other, and the father and son are separated. In order to fill their stomachs, they secretly gritted their teeth and sneaked into the border of the two empires to do a big vote.
In the northern Xinjiang, except for a few towns east of Lieyang City, the rest are criminals exiled to the northern Xinjiang. The empire doesn't care about their life or death, but there is a armor removal pavilion a hundred miles away from Lieyang City, and Xu Tianyi, the general of the Zhenbei Army, set up a rule that those who dare to cross this pavilion and kill people with armor will punish the nine clans!
So far, there are still three heads of people as high as five zhang Jingguan, which is the ring of latecomers. After the establishment of the Jingguan, all forces acquiesced that all horse thieves, sand bandits, and ruffians were outside the Jiejia Pavilion. To the east of Lieyang City, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the prestige of the general of Zhenbei has shocked the northern frontier.
"General Xu is so powerful!" Lin Xi listened to Lao Li Tou talk about the origin of the Armor Removal Pavilion, and couldn't help but admire, a manly man should be like this!
"That's right! General Xu is a disciple of the Xianmen!" Lin Xi, if you can enter the Xianmen to learn a skill, half of General Xu's ability in the future will be enough for you to glorify your ancestors!" said Lao Li Tou playfully.
Yes, Guangzong Yaozu, I don't even remember what my father's name is...... What kind of glorious lintel to talk about, Lin Xi's heart was gloomy. Lao Li Touwu was gushing something from his mouth, and Lin Xi's mind had not only flown to where. One of the two people is talking lively, the other is absent-minded, and the vast Gobi Desert seems to be a road that cannot be completed. Lao Li Tou took a sip of the warm sun-dried water in the sheepskin kettle, and then found that Lin Xi's face was sad. Just as he was about to say something to comfort Lin Xi, suddenly the team stopped.
The car stopped suddenly, and Lin Xi stumbled. I almost fell under the car and came to my senses, when a guy came to inform.
"There seems to be an accident ahead, and the team leader asks everyone to be on guard. ”
"Uncle Li, what's going on?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
"In front of you is the Black Wind Mouth, where there are soldiers from several small countries nearby who come to plunder the merchants. However, it is said that they should slip away when they see the flag of the Zhenbei Army, is there really anyone who does not have long eyes to dare to argue with the Zhenbei Army here?" said Lao Li Tou, pinching the beard under his chin.
"Uncle Li, you said that the Zhenbei Army is so powerful, why don't you send troops to destroy all those horse thieves and bandits. Lin Xi asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.
"Silly boy, do you think those horse thieves and sand bandits can stop the Zhenbei army? Lao Li lowered his voice and leaned into the dog's ear.
"These horse thieves and sand bandits are all backed by the Immortal Gate, and they are all the other Great Immortal Men who have been installed here. Besides, I heard from the big shopkeeper that there were even royal people among the horse thieves!" said Lao Li Tou mysteriously.
"Royal!, how could it be?" Lin Xi looked incredulous.
"The old man also walked through the goods with the big shopkeeper by accident and went to the biggest horse thief Qingyun Village once. When I came back, I heard the big shopkeeper scolding 'the royal slave is still so arrogant', so I secretly guessed. Don't tell others that you will be killed by horse thieves in the future. Old Li Tou quietly instructed Lin Xi.
"Uncle Li, don't worry, I'm just a little beggar, and someone has to believe me when I tell people. Although Lin Xi is young, he knows the truth that trouble comes from his mouth.
While the two were chatting, someone came over to inform them that they could leave. The caravan was back on its way, and it hadn't gone far when a heavy smell of blood blew from the hillside not far away......
