Chapter 858: Merchant
The face is expressionless, different from the rough lady who is cheering next to her. The makeup is exquisite, like a beauty in the ice and snow, the cheeks are ruddy and shiny, and the maintenance is very good. Who knows, she is already in her twenties this year?
She watched the convoy silently, her attention focused on Li Sui, and she was not distracted for a long time. She naturally knew that someone had already targeted her, it was someone from the Praetorian Guard led by Chu Yunfeng, and she was afraid that if she looked at her a few more times, even Chu Yunfeng would have to pay attention to her.
didn't do it, and she wouldn't do it, she was more willing to plan the big things her husband gave her than assassination, which was a small probability and a big risk.
Turning around and burrowing into the alley, the woman also left the capital after Li Sui, but in a completely different direction.
Along the way, there is still snow and ice, but there are also places where buds are starting to sprout. The snow is still falling, but it's not as ferocious as it was a few days ago. The weather was cold, so that the people who began to reduce their clothes couldn't help but tighten their robes, and hurriedly went home to add clothes.
Although the weather is cold, the scenery is not bad. Along the way, looking at the patches of snow, there is quite a quiet beauty, and Ye Jinyu, who has been out of the crowd's field of vision, also generously untied the curtain, leaning on the window that has nothing to block and look at the great rivers and mountains.
The snow-covered plains, where there is a lot of snow, the snow is a good year, and in the early summer and mid-autumn of this year, two batches of grain will surely make this great week more prosperous. In a few years, there may be a scene where the money and grain are full, and people look forward to it.
As for the river, which had begun to melt the ice, it flowed slowly, carrying large chunks of ice and fine sand and gravel, and it became clearer and clearer.
Encountering the cliffs, the upside-down icicles and the eagles hovering on them make people marvel at the magnificence of nature.
When I met the town, the convoy went in, and saw that the people there were simple and simple, and Li Sui would also get off the sedan chair with Ye Jinyu, lying that he was a Persian merchant, and took out a few coins of gold in exchange for some sachets and jade pendants.
The trip to Mount Tai is not a one-day journey, and on the way, everyone will stop to straighten up the carriages and horses, and people will live in makeshift tents to rest.
Those officials who volunteered to come beat their backs, thinking that this is really not a good or bad thing, but if they behave well, if they are looked at by Li Sui, it is really "chicken and dog ascending to heaven", and they are happy like immortals.
Light a bonfire and the surrounding jungle is quiet. Chu Yunfeng led a small branch of more than 200 Praetorian Guards to guard around to prevent fierce beasts from invading and hurting people.
Li Sui and Ye Jinyu sat opposite each other, Ye Jinyu was veiled, everyone couldn't see who that person was, they thought it was a new strategist secretly recruited by Li Sui, and few dared to come forward to ask.
Eating dry food, roasting the fire, different lives, make people uncomfortable, but also make people feel fresh and interesting.
The sound of the flame is especially clear in the silent jungle night. A large group of officials, who could not stand the pain of spending the night in the forest, had gone early to the smaller town that was a little closer and had opened the best house for themselves.
They also asked Li Sui to go with them, but they were all rejected by Li Sui, after all, everyone has different ideas, so they are naturally willing to stay in different places.
It's been almost half a year since I left the battlefield...... Li Sui really misses that place a little! It's just that his former subordinates were all allocated to Shangguan Yu, and the old man in the past has become his current subordinates, which is a wonderful experience.
The bitter cold of the border has made him what he is now; Chang'an's gentleness also made him what he is now. Fight or not, grab or not take, these concepts have disappeared in my mind little by little, this prosperous place is really the end of the aspirant.
"Want to get something to eat?" Li Sui looked at Ye Jinyu in front of him, this nerd had been holding his knees since just now, burying his head in his knees, only showing a pair of eyes, and he looked preoccupied.
Ye Jinyu: "Li Sui, how long will it take to get to Daizong?" ”
Li Sui: "It's about the beginning of spring, it's going to be soon!" ”
"There are still three days......" Ye Jinyu muttered to himself, Li Sui looked at his expression of reluctance to continue speaking, listening to these words that seemed to have no joy, anger and sorrow, although there were thousands of doubts in his heart, he finally opened his mouth slightly and couldn't make a sound
"Quack—quack—" The night raven rose and disturbed the silence, startling all those who remained in the jungle at the abrupt cry.
Turning his head, Chu Yunfeng looked at the point in the dark part of the jungle, and his black eyes quickly shrank into a little - there, there was a glimmer of light, which suddenly appeared and disappeared suddenly.
Immediately stepped forward, taking three steps in a row, Chu Yunfeng smashed the dead branches at the end of winter, and also broke the early spring shoots, and everything on the road turned into nothingness under the powerful aura around him.
Stop, peel aside the bushes, and can't see clearly.
With force, Chu Yunfeng directly uprooted the bush of grass and trees, and the moonlight sprinkled down, leaving no footprints.
"Is it my delusion?" Chu Yunfeng was confused. But at this time, his mind suddenly recalled what Qingchengzi had said to him, "The poor road has been calculated for you, when Mount Tai seals the Zen, that person will come......"
As soon as he grabbed the air, the internal force burst out, and that mass of qi was compressed into a point in Chu Yunfeng's hands, and a faint fragrance emanated from that point, which was the body fragrance from this heaven and earth on the body of a cultivator.
"It seems...... Met the masters......"
At this time, there were already several Praetorian Guards walking towards their lords, and with such a big movement, they left most of them to protect the emperor's safety, and they also had to take care of their lordship's safety.
"Are you alright, sir?"
"It's fine." Chu Yunfeng said, "You go back first, by the way, remember to tell the saint that if I have an investigation, I will rush back before dawn, and ask him not to follow." ”
After hearing these words, those subordinates looked at each other, but when they looked in the direction where Chu Yunfeng was standing, Chu Yunfeng had already disappeared.
In the same place, there were no footprints left in Kulu literature
The bright moon shines on this jungle, and in the forest, it is the sound of "rustling" trees, I don't know if it is the wind blowing, or the people passing by.
"Huhu-" Chu Yunfeng pursued the smell of that person all the way, without a trace of slackness, this was his good opportunity, he didn't want to waste it like this.
"Smack!" There was a splash of water, and the sound came from the mountain stream ahead. Chu Yunfeng frowned, couldn't it be that person to lure him in again?
Regardless of it! He, Chu Yunfeng, wanted to see what that person could do with him today.
Thousands of difficulties, I will break them with one force!
Subsequently, Chu Yunfeng also waded through the current. It's just that Chu Yunfeng didn't look at the terrain carefully, he only remembered that there was a waterfall above, flowing to that layer, and then to the bottom, forming a waterfall
"Rustle-rustle-rustle-" Ahead, there are people walking through the forest again?
"Damn!" Chu Yunfeng thought in his heart that that person must not take himself seriously! How can a heart as proud as he tolerate such humiliation? So I chased it again.
Entering the avenue, the place was full of dry grass, and the ground was full of people, and people walked on it, and there was no sound.
But if a character like them deliberately, whether it is over the mountains and mountains, they will not leave footprints, let alone make a sound, track, all by smelling the slight smell.
The smell became stronger and stronger, Chu Yunfeng looked at this empty avenue, and wondered, "Isn't it that I've already caught up?" ”
Another thought, "No! The source of the scent was right in front of it, but there was nothing there! ”
Unconsciously, he took two more steps forward, Chu Yunfeng suddenly fell under his feet, and he hurriedly fell downward, and he caught a glimpse of the water flow waterfall below!
Looking up at the sky, there was a man in white suspended in the air, with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.
I wanted to leap up with the help of the dirt around me, but I found that the cave was wide and wide, and the two ends could not be touched.
"Cunning!" Chu Yunfeng scolded at the man, but the man still maintained his smile, as if it had remained unchanged for eternity. Falling, Chu Yunfeng stood on top of the water, letting the turbulent water wash his ankles, standing still, looking up, the cave had disappeared, only the bright moon remained, shining on this familiar mountain scene.
No matter how much he chases, whether it is in the jungle, or in the mountains, or in the avenue, Chu Yunfeng will always be sent back to this water flow by that person in various ways, until Chu Yunfeng runs out of patience, until Chu Yunfeng is almost exhausted
In the cave, Bai Ling sorted out his clothes and returned here.
"How?" Inside the cave, a man's voice asked him about the situation.
"Ah, I met a man with strong martial arts on the way, but I was still trapped by my illusion."
"Can't beat him?" The man walked out of the cave, and there was moonlight at the mouth of the cave, which illuminated his face—white foam.
Bai Ling: "No, it's just that he almost found our hiding place, I'm afraid he will not be good for you." ”
"Well, thank you. Have you confirmed? ”
"Ah, I went to a nearby town and asked, and said that it was a Persian merchant, and I saw that their palanquins were splendid and resembling the style of those there."
Bai Mo hugged his chest, "Is it possible that Ye Jinyu or Li Sui is it?" ”
"Hmm...... It was a holy stance, and if his whole set of decorations were genuine, it was much more extravagant than those Persian merchants, and few could afford it. ”
"And what do you think?"
Bai Ling hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's the emperor, you can't sleep in the wilderness at night, right?" ”
"And what did the master say?"
"It should be a coincidence, this deep mountain and old forest, there are masters outside the world!"
"Hmm...... Not! Ye Jinyu sat by the campfire, added two pieces of firewood to it, and sniffed, as if he had a cold.
Li Sui said with concern: "Are you okay?" ”
Ye Jinyu nodded and helped his head, "It's just a little sleepy, ahhhhh
"Do you want to go back to the car and sleep?" Li Sui asked.
Ye Jinyu looked at him and shook his head, "Looking at the stars and moon in the sky in this mountain and forest, the scenery is unique!" Then he rested his chin on his arm, looked at the sky, and said nothing more.
Looking at Ye Jinyu's face that was neither sad nor happy on it, Li Sui was in a trance for a while, when did this child who had always put joy, anger and sorrow on his face learn to hide himself? He wasn't quite sure.
