The endless prairie is gradually replaced by undulating hills, and dense forests begin to appear along the way, which makes Jiang Anyi, who is accustomed to seeing green grasslands, feel a little fresh. The further west you go, the more unique the scenery becomes, with hills, fields, deserts, and mountains intertwined, and the climate becomes more and more unpredictable.

All of this could not affect Rhona's good mood, and she was full of love and water, and Rhona was moistened by love and radiant, and she could feel it through the masked tulle. Tule Bu acquiesced to the existence of this emotion, Lang Luo looked at the backs of Miss and Jiang Gongzi in pairs, smiled and blessed, Tule family will be more brilliant in the future with Jiang Gongzi's help.

"Forty miles ahead is Shahe Town, Shahe Town is the boundary of Qianglan Kingdom, and it will take three more days to cross Qianglan Kingdom, and we will arrive at Shasu Kingdom." Lang Luo introduced to Jiang Anyi beside him.

Jiang Anyi already knew that there were twenty-eight countries in the Western Regions, and the Qianglan Kingdom and the Shasu Kingdom were two of the small countries, with an area of about the same size, slightly larger than the Zhongzhou of Dazheng, and the population of the Shasu Kingdom was only about three million, and it was almost the same if they wanted to come to the Qianglan Kingdom.

Lang Luo said with a smile: "There is an inn not far ahead, a drinking horse inn, a time-honored brand, we will be there at noon, and we can reach Shahe Town in the evening." When you get there, there is an army of the Qianglan Kingdom, so you don't have to worry about horse thieves, and you can sleep peacefully. ”

Along the way, Lang Luo's spirit was highly nervous, his eyes were red, and he often dozed off on his horse, wishing he could find a place to sleep beautifully.

Qianglan and Shasu are both small countries, the way for small countries to survive is to keep warm, the relationship between the two countries is very harmonious, and the current lord of Qianglan is still the son-in-law of Shasu. The speed of the caravan increased invisibly, and home was not far ahead, and after nearly three months outside, everyone longed to return to a warm home.

The Drinking Horse Inn is built on the mountain and the water, the mountain is a forest, and the right side is a small lake, and the lake water is clear and you can see swimming fish. There was a fence not far from the lake, and the man drove the carriage and horses into the fence and beckoned everyone to come into the store to rest. It was noon, and there were seven or eight tables of guests in the lobby of the inn, and there were bags placed on the side of the tables, which seemed to be merchants.

Seeing someone enter the store, these people turned their eyes over in unison, Jiang Anyi's eyes swept over these people, and the packages beside many people were narrow and long, and the packages were clearly weapons.

The shopkeeper is a demon woman, with thick black eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, brown eyes, and a long body, convex and backward. Seeing Jiang Anyi's eyes lit up, he twisted his waist and floated over, holding a fragrant wind and laughing: "Old man Tule, you will come back." This son-in-law, his face is very raw, the first time he went to the Western Regions, he is the grandson of the old man. ”

The woman glanced at Rona who was unhappy, patted her mouth, and said with a smile: "Look at my blind energy, this son must be a young lady, good eyesight, such a pretty gentleman is difficult to find with a lantern." ”

Lorna was ashamed and annoyed, and she was still a little happy in her heart, so she had to "hum" and ignore the woman.

Tulebu frowned, displeased with the messy scene in front of him, and asked, "Spicy lady, is the courtyard in the back still empty?" ”

"It's empty, Xiao Er, Xiao Er, where is the death, why don't you take the guests to the backyard soon." The hot lady shouted loudly.

Spicy lady, this name is worthy of the name, to open a store in this place infested by horse thieves, there is no ability to even swallow people with scum, spicy lady can open the horse inn into a time-honored brand, not simple.

Jiang Anyi thought in his heart, and followed a fat guy to the backyard. The backyard is a quadrangle, a place to stay, it's still early at the moment, no one stays. There are a few tables and chairs in the courtyard, and it is quiet.

Luang Luo arranged the luggage of the carriage and horses in front, and when he came in, the food on the table had already been set.

Tulebu beckoned him and said: "Langluo, come quickly, just wait for you, you have worked hard all the way, and you are about to arrive in Qianglan Country, drink a cup to relieve your fatigue." ”

Lang Luo's face was heavy, and he lowered his voice before approaching: "Boss, just now I found that the group in front of me rode all the best war horses, I didn't see their goods, and the guys in the store also had a lot of fresh faces, everyone be careful." ”

Before Tulebu could speak, a guard next to him smiled and said: "Boss Lang, you are just too nervous, this drinking horse inn has been open for nearly ten years, and the spicy lady who is in charge of the store does not know, and has never heard of anything happening here." The brothers haven't drunk alcohol for more than a month, so drink two glasses to satisfy their cravings. "There were a few drunkards in the guards who had already eaten half a bowl of wine while everyone was talking.

What the guard said made sense, Tulebu was a little undecided, and said hesitantly: "Don't be greedy, everyone eats a bowl and eats, go on the road early, and everyone drinks a few more cups when they arrive in Shahe Town." ”

Tulebu spoke, and Lang Luo couldn't say anything more, so he sat down on the side and reached out to take the steamed buns on the table. Luo Na poured a bowl of wine for everyone, and smiled at Jiang Anyi: "Anyi, it's good to drink the wine from the Horse Inn, you can taste it, if you like it, buy a few jars and go back, and drink enough at night." ”

Jiang Anyi's own family sells wine, and he knows a little about wine, but when he saw that the wine was a little turbid, he thought that the village brew was not good. When he picked up the bowl and was about to drink it, his six senses were sensitive, and he immediately smelled a faint grassy smell in the wine.

"It's not right." Jiang Anyi put down the bowl and said.

Lang Luo spit out the steamed bun in his mouth, smelled the wine, stretched out his finger and dipped it in his mouth and tasted it, and exclaimed: "There is no reed in the wine." As soon as the words fell, more than 60 guards in the courtyard fell to the ground almost half-softly, and the sound of dishes falling to the ground was loud.

"Oh, why did it fall before I started drinking, and I have to compensate me for breaking my mother's dishes." With a coquettish cry, countless figures appeared on all sides of the backyard to surround the backyard, many of whom held bows and arrows in their hands, aiming at the people in the courtyard who had not fallen.

"Spicy girl, why is that?" Tulebu said angrily: "The Drinking Horse Inn is a time-honored brand, don't you plan to do business anymore." ”

The spicy lady stepped forward a few steps forward without hurria and said: "With the gold taels of Wushi Khan, what kind of broken shop do I still open for my mother, and I will enjoy happiness in the second half of my life." ”

Tulebu's head was buzzing, Jiang Anyi's identity was only known to himself, Luo Na and Langluo, how could it be leaked out, Tulebu asked calmly: "Spicy lady, the old man doesn't understand what you're talking about?" ”

"Hehehehehe", the spicy lady let out a string of coquettish laughter, "Old man, don't hide it, the young man next to you is probably Jiang Anyi, the deputy envoy of Dazheng who Wushi Khan has offered a reward of 10,000 gold." If you dare to report a false letter to deceive the old lady, the old lady will have to throw you into the lake to feed the fish. ”

A person squeezed out of the crowd behind him, limped to the side of the hot lady, and greeted with a sneer: "Old man, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

It was Lu Cheng, the bodyguard next to the eldest prince, Tulebu and Luang Luo recognized this person at a glance.

In the battle of Tubao that day, Lu Cheng escaped death and ran away with his injured leg. After Su Shi's death, the team dispersed, and finally gathered more than 80 people, and everyone discussed what to do. It is impossible to return to the country of Shasu, and if the matter is not done, the eldest prince will kill them and destroy them; continued to chase and kill the caravan, these people were killed by Jiang Anyi, and no one wanted to die; The rest can only wander in the desert, and from then on be a horse thief, but I didn't expect to make the fake come true, which is also called creation and man.

Lu Cheng was unwilling, stopped everyone from dispersed, and came up with the idea of following the caravan into pieces to see if there was a chance to start, there was really no way, and it was not too late for everyone to go. So, these people followed the caravan into the Yuyan Department, and of course they also heard about the reward offered by Wushi Khan to Jiang Anyi.

At first, Lu Cheng didn't care, but followed the caravan, and when the caravan returned, he also returned with him. On the way, Lu Cheng saw that the stranger who appeared in the earthen fort that night was actually in the caravan, and Rona was always by his side, and the two were hunting on horseback, laughing and playing, and they were very happy.

Luo Na is a famous beauty in Shasu Country, and the good cabbage has made the pig arch, although Jiang Anyi is not a pig, but he can't stop Lu Cheng from being sour from afar.

Lu Cheng suddenly remembered that the person who was like a divine soldier descending from heaven to kill Su Shi, there was absolutely no such person when the caravan set off from Shasu Kingdom. Who is this person? The more Lu Cheng thought about it, the more suspicious he became, the person with such great skills on the grassland was either a thousand chiefs in the tribe or a horse thief head on one side, neither of these looked like each other, could this person be Jiang Anyi, the deputy envoy of Da Zheng? To be able to escape from the Desert Royal Court, it should be a lot of skill.

Seeing that the caravan was about to enter the Qianglan Kingdom, Lu Cheng decided to take a risk. He accidentally learned that the backstage owner of the Drinking Horse Inn, that is, the husband of the Hot Lady, was the leader of the famous horse thieves and wasps, and the rabbits did not eat the grass by the nest, and the wasp thieves never committed crimes within a hundred miles of the Drinking Horse Inn, so this secret was kept for a while.

Lu Cheng's abacus is very fine, the best person is Jiang Anyi, the wasp thief took Jiang Anyi down, he not only solved the Tule caravan with his own hands, but also got some profit from it, and returned to the prince of Shasu Kingdom to reuse himself; If that person is not Jiang Anyi, and can catch the Tule caravan, he might as well give them some benefits, and let the eldest prince give them some bounty, and the task will be completed; The worst plan is that no matter who wins or loses, the caravan and the horse thief will eventually become a horse thief, and it will be no different from now.

Arrived a day in advance, Lu Cheng ambushed his men in the mountains and forests, and he was still ready to use one hand, maybe the caravan and the horse thief would be defeated, and then he would be able to make a profit, and both sides would end together. After the arrangements were made, Lu Cheng came to the Drinking Horse Inn alone, saw the spicy lady, and sure enough, he hit it off and had today's scene.

"Lu Cheng, you are spewing blood, you obviously want to kill people with a knife, Su Shi is dead, and you also want to stop the old man from helping the second prince save the king." Lang Luo deliberately muddied the water, and said to the hot lady: "Hot lady, as long as you wake up the guards who were numb, our caravan will not happen today, and I promise that this matter will never be passed on." ”

Sure enough, the hot lady frowned, and glanced at Lu Cheng coldly, the internal strife in Shasu Kingdom, she had also heard the merchants mentioned by the merchants, she didn't want to get involved.

Just as she couldn't make up her mind, the fat guy next to her suddenly said in a dumb voice: "I've done everything, can I still take it back?" Let's take the caravan first. Lady, that girl is good, I want it. ”
