Chapter 20: The Desert
The convoy traveled day and night, and the time passed quickly, Pei Guo pinched his fingers and calculated, he was afraid that it would not be seven or eight days long on the Gobi Desert. Liang people don't know where to find the guide, quite a bit of ability, although along the way to see the floating sand on the side, but can always follow the hard soil Gobi forward, so the heavy carriage can also drive.
Time flies very slowly, the seemingly endless yellow sand and gravel, and the starry sky make Pei Guo lonely and about to go crazy, occasionally when the wind and sand hit, the convoy scolds up and down, but he feels lively and refreshing from the bottom of his heart, even if his face is blown out of pain.
When I was bored, the first thing Pei Guo thought of was always Wei Niangzi: My mother is probably worried, but this action is very important, and it seems to be closely related to me... Please forgive the child for being unfilial, and he will kowtow and apologize when he goes back.
The brothers don't know what happened ... After these many days, the anger of Lord Yuwen Lang and Lord Hebalan should also be gone? If you can go back smoothly this time, you should have a drink with everyone, and then be happy and happy!
Yu Wenying's bright face flashed in front of his eyes, and he couldn't stop giggling... Pei Guo sighed and said to himself with a wry smile: "This little girl... When he was muttering, the face suddenly turned into the appearance of the Nine Truths, graceful and colorful, and his face was radiant, Pei Guo was stunned: This desert is desolate and miserable, and I don't know if the Nine True Little Lady can hold it... The convoy is too long, what Pei Guo has seen these days, Chen Gui often runs before and after, and Chen Dongjia has only been to the end of the team once or twice, as for Jiuzhen, he has never been here.
A long shout interrupted Pei Guo's thoughts: "Stop! Everyone, stay here today! Pei Guo came back to his senses, and there was a gurgling sound in his ears, which surprised him. Looking out from the gap in the pocket, I actually came to an oasis, and the aquatic plants were quite prosperous.
Someone else shouted: "Further north of this oasis, within a few hundred miles, there is no Gobi Desert, and there is no grass. You'll have to fill up all the water bladders! ”
Unlike in the past, the Liang people did not stop there, and some people commanded more than 100 carriages to be connected end to end, forming a huge circle, and the horses also unloaded their bridles and wheels and gathered them together in the circle. Several carriages loaded with blades were unloaded, and almost everyone in the ranks was issued with swords, spears, arrows and shields.
Some people asked, "What is this going to do?" ”
"The guide said that this place has penetrated deep into the territory of Rouran, and it may encounter tribal cavalry at any time, so it has to be guarded against! Forming a circle around a horse-drawn carriage is the most practical defense method in the desert. ”
"Didn't I just come to Lord Rouran? Why be prepared? ”
"Who knows which one we are waiting for? In case the Rouran people thought that we were Wei people and came in at night, wouldn't we die unjustly? Naturally, it is necessary to prevent it first, and wait for the dawn to reveal the identity. Besides, there are thousands of tribes of the Rouran people, and there are many attacks against each other, as well as the Ele people, Zahu, and horse thieves... Tsk, this desert is very chaotic! ”
"It's ... Huh! Chen is a good person, and he has many strategies, and he will definitely be able to negotiate with Rouran, but he is a clerk after all, and he has never led soldiers... This time I followed him deep into the vast desert, thousands of miles away from home, and I don't know if I can go back to my hometown... ”
"Since you dare to come here, which one is not a brother who has drunk the wine of life and death in front of Pei Yuanjun? But if you can be loyal to the beam, why die? ”
"That's right! What's the point of dying? ”
Pei Guo hid in the car and listened quietly, and was surprised: It is said that the southerners are cunning and afraid of death, but listening to these Liang people, they are not inferior to my northerners... Pei Yuanjun? So who is that?
More than 100 cars formed a circle, and there was no distinction between the beginning and the end. At this moment, Pei Guo didn't know where he was in the team, so he had to look out through the gap.
A shadow came unexpectedly and walked towards you. The sunlight is still strong, the holes are cohesed, and Pei Guo saw Jiuzhen's face so clearly for the first time: beautiful! It's so beautiful! The wind and the sun are blowing, and that face is still blown, and the white jade is flawless.
Pei Guo's heart was pounding, and the sweat droplets in his palms leached out two deep watermarks on the grain pockets. He didn't dare to move, he didn't want to move, his eyes didn't blink. For so long, until Jiuzhen turned around and left after explaining to the nearby Liang people, he buried himself in his pocket with a snap, and his whole body was out of strength, and he couldn't move at all. In the dark, he pondered silently: This time, I didn't care about it, and I took risks alone, is it to find out more about the truth? Still is... Or is it for the sake of these nine true little girls?
