Chapter 1: A Thousand Miles Away
The desolate Gobi.
The warm spring sun hangs lazily in the sky, and the snow begins to melt and merge into a trickle, rushing into the distance. Under the layer of snow, a touch of tender green is faint.
There was a lot of mud on the official road leading to the gate, and at this moment, a fierce neighing of horses came from afar, and immediately after, a carriage appeared on the horizon.
The roar of the driving horse continued, and the fierce horse pulling the cart stuck out his tongue tiredly, but even so, the whip in the hand of the driver of the carriage was still waving.
The person driving was Ye Huan, with a rare anxiety on his face.
"This is a rare poison, but I am ashamed that although I am proficient in pharmacology, I am ...... toxicology."
"In this way, I will first neutralize the toxicity with the medicinal properties and delay the time of the poison, and you will take advantage of this time to find my friend...... He may have a way to get rid of the poison completely. ”
"There are a few bottles of elixir here, if there is a toxic attack on the way, you can take it."
……
Recalling Mr. Wu Ya's solemn expression, Ye Huan sighed, Shi Niu has three long and two short, and he has no face to say goodbye to Lao Cheng.
Retracting his heavy heart, Ye Huan urged the horse to become more and more eager.
"Ahem!"
At this moment, there was a violent coughing sound from inside the carriage, as if it was about to cough out all the internal organs.
"Medicine!"
Inside the carriage, Li Chengqian woke up from his half-sleep, with a trace of exhaustion on his face, and immediately said.
Li Tai hurriedly fumbled out a porcelain bottle, poured out a few brown pills from it, and carefully let Shi Niu take it.
On the floor in the car, Cheng Chuji unconsciously coughed up blood, his face was frighteningly pale, his eye sockets were strangely black, to put it mildly, his face was dead.
"Where?"
Li Chengqian can't remember how many times he asked, Cheng Zhihei and him are ostensibly monarchs and ministers, but in fact they are brothers who have exchanged their lives, and now that Shi Niu is poisoned, he is also anxious.
"It's in."
Outside the carriage, Ye Huan agreed.
There was a customs clearance document given by Lao Cheng, and the soldiers who checked the city gate did not dare to stop it, and the carriage drove straight in without the slightest stop. Ye Huan still remembered Lao Cheng's expression at that time, although he didn't say anything, but his eyes clearly told Ye Huan to save Cheng's heir.
The grace of knowing the encounter, letting Ye Huan mess around in the barracks, and all kinds of "stinky boys" on his lips, in fact, he was still very satisfied with Ye Huan in his heart...... In the end, it was also to protect Ye Huan Shiniu's injury.
Every time he thought about this, Ye Huan felt that his emotions were complicated, in this world thousands of years ago, in this place where "killing" was the main tone, he felt warmth from them.
"Hey, I'm afraid I'm 'entangled' with the Cheng family in this life," Ye Huan muttered to himself.
Retracting his thoughts, Ye Huan immediately heard the panting sound of the horse pulling the cart becoming more and more intense, and immediately saw that the fierce horse began to roll his eyes, and his mouth kept spitting white foam.
Before Ye Huan could react, he heard it wail and fell down.
Ye Huan understood that the horses were at their limit.
Jumping out of the carriage, Ye Huan came to it, stroked its mane, and did not force it to stand up.
"Well, there's a post station not far away." 、
The carriage can only be placed here temporarily, and Ye Huan plans to go to the post station to borrow the horses.
However, when Ye Huan was about to go to the post station, the crowd in front was dispersed, and a thin official in official uniform hurried with a group of people.
When he got close, the thin official immediately knelt down and bowed: "Weichen greets His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the King of Wei!" ”
After listening to his introduction, Ye Huan knew that he was a city pass, and specially came to replace horses and supplement rations for them.
It turned out that after Ye Huan and the four of them hurriedly whipped out of Lanzhou City, Lao Niu used the military's carrier pigeons to inform Ye Huan and the city officials along the way in advance to ensure that they were unimpeded.
"It turned out to be Uncle Niu signaling." Ye Huan was not surprised.
After Li Chengqian dealt with it simply, Ye Huan drove his horse away again.
Before leaving, Ye Huan did not forget to tell the city officials to take care of the tired and paralyzed horse.
……
This journey was fast, day and night, and it took several days in a row.
That night, Ye Huan looked up and forgot to glance at the night sky, calculating that the trip should be able to reach Chang'an one day.
The carriage drove through the mountains, and after passing here, it was followed by a flat river.
Ye Huan looked at the left and right sides, where were the towering mountains that needed to be looked up, the forest was deep and the grass was dense, and the clouds and mist were swirling halfway up the mountain. The official road here is built at the corner of the two mountains sandwiched, a one-way passage, and I am afraid that it is impossible to even turn the carriage.
Ye Huan slowed down and looked around vigilantly, this is a place to rob the road!
Just send two teams of men and horses to block the front and back, and then use the terrain to say that they can't escape!
It stands to reason that Ye Huan's best choice is to pass through here quickly, but the width of the official road is shaped like a natural reducer, so Ye Huan has to slow down. In addition, if there is really a mountain king who robs the road here, Ye Huan must also beware of stumbling horses.
The narrow official road is beyond Ye Huan's imagination, and Ye Huan has gone smoothly along the official road, and there is nothing to rob the road.
Come to think of it, Kyoto Chang'an is in sight, who dares to rob the house here?
Ye Huan was relieved in his heart, seeing that the front was about to become vast, he couldn't help but drive the horse pulling the cart faster.
However, just as Ye Huan relaxed his vigilance, a cold arrow roared from the forest, aiming directly at Ye Huan!
Feeling the sharp arrow, Ye Huan's reaction was not weak, and he dodged before shooting himself.
"There is an ambush! Robbery? Or are you from the Mo tribe? Ye Huan's eyes were gloomy as he looked at the place where the cold arrow came from, and his mind was in a flash, and he made a decision in his heart.
Whether it is the robber or the Mo people, there are bound to be many people, and the situation of Shi Niu does not allow them to delay any longer.
The reins in Ye Huan's hand shook immediately, urging the horse to speed up, he wanted to break through!
"If there's anyone in the way, just hit it away!"
However, the other party seemed to have expected Ye Huan's choice a long time ago, and immediately a tripwire bounced up from the ground, waiting for Ye Huan to break through!
Seeing the tripping horse rope bounce up, Ye Huan immediately tightened the reins and stopped the carriage.
Li Chengqian and the others in the carriage noticed the abnormality and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"There's an ambush!" Ye Huan replied.
"Could it be someone from the Mo Clan?" Li Chengqian was furious, not to mention that the virgin was injured by them, and now he has to kill them all? Is it true that we are good bullies?
"I don't know, you stay in the carriage first, waiting for the opportunity."
"Good!"
Then, Ye Huan looked around vigilantly, and his right hand quietly fell on the "Yunmo" sword, ready to deal with the sudden attack at any time.
This Yunmo Sword fell into the hands of the clan envoy in the Qimen incident before, but later when Lao Cheng and the others cleaned up the Qimen, they found it again, and finally returned to Ye Huan after several tosses.
Ye Huan clenched the hilt of his sword and waited for a moment, and finally a group of people came out of the woods.
Dressed in brown linen clothes, some people carried knives, some people carried bows and arrows, and some people held meteor hammers, at this moment, a group of people cracked their black and yellow teeth and looked at Ye Huan with a bloodthirsty smile.
Subsequently, Ye Huan heard the standard words of the robbery.
"I opened this mountain, this ...... I opened this tree, and I want to ...... To ......"
"Ahem, if you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road."
Syllable!
The boss immediately slapped the little one next to him, and scolded: "Fuck! Lao Tzu wants you to teach?! ”
The little one who was slapped was immediately full of wrongs, covering his mouth and not daring to speak.
"That's right, stay...... Leave to buy road money! ”
Looking at these two people teasing each other, Ye Huan raised his eyebrows, did he rob the road?
"There are really people who dare to break ground on the head of the Son of Heaven!"
