On a moonlit night, the moon is very hazy, like a beautiful girl wearing a light veil but shrouded in mist. In a ravine some distance from Anhua City, the gloomy mountain range isolated the red and earthly world from afar.

In the tent, Lu Jiu's face looked cloudy and uncertain with the jumping flames.

"Are you sure the poison on your body is fine?"

The wound on the buttocks had been sewn up by the caravan doctor, but it was not a big problem.

"Didn't you investigate me, don't forget that I've been in the Five Poisons Sect for more than a year, and these poisons won't kill me. We left Anhua City overnight, but after all, three lives were lost, so there would be no trouble in this matter. "I don't know what is going on when I pass by, but the indifferent face of the little beggar killer always appears in front of me.

"It's just a group of killers who can't see the light, and by the way, they will fool around with some reasons, as long as they are willing to spend money, there is nothing uneven." Lu Jiu was like saying something insignificant.

"Emir is okay there, when I cut off the little beggar's head, she fainted." Lu asked with an apologetic expression.

"I'll leave for a while, and you'll be able to poke such a big leak when you're on the way!" Lu Jiu didn't answer the question of the road, and stared at him angrily.

"Hey, hey! I thought that Amir was just your new favorite maid, and that she would be assassinated. "I decided to pretend that I didn't know anything.

"Get out! It's on the road! You don't have to act in front of me. Lu Jiu said angrily.

"Wang Liuli! Don't you think it's too much for you to pull me on the thief ship and don't tell me anything! "I don't bother to pretend to go down when I'm on the road.

"I won't tell you, it's for your own good, lest you don't know how you'll die then." Lu Jiu said angrily.

"If you don't say it, let me guess.

Emir, the bearded princess, is not a simple concubine, most likely the secret spy that Lord Yang Yushi planted beside him, right? Lu Lu looked at Lu Jiu with a smile, but Lu Jiu turned his head and didn't bother to look at him.

"Hey! Let's take a look at who Young's opponent is. It stands to reason that Lord Yang's biggest opponent is Li Linfu, the minister of power who crushed him to death. But this Master Li has An Lushan, Gao Xianzhi and a group of Hu generals he promoted. These Hu generals all have heavy troops in their hands and can fight well. There are a group of shrewd and capable ministers such as Wang Jie. Even if the saint is a little jealous of him today, he must not have looked at Lord Yang, who is leaning on his sister to get up.

Lord Yang was promoted by the emperor in order to share the power of Li Linfu and Lord Li, who was in power in the government and the opposition. Lord Li was powerful, and Lord Yang didn't dare to provoke easily, so he hit the idea on the body of the Fan Yang Jiedu envoy, and sued him for rebellion without any need.

The crime of rebellion is a big one, and Lord An naturally can't sit still, and he doesn't know what other tricks this Lord Yang, who is favored by the emperor, has, so he arranged for a spy like Emir to be by his side. Only he can arrange a princess Hu so conveniently.

Everyone knows in their hearts that such an incomparable commotion in the court is just to show the saint in the deep palace who thinks he is wise and martial. In private, each has his own wealth and becomes his own official. Therefore, all these years have been peaceful, and Emile has not been able to find out any earth-shattering news.

What does Amir's mysterious disappearance say about it, that she has heard news that may upset the balance. Although your royal family claims to be rich and rivals the country, and participates in these things, are you not afraid that disaster will fall from heaven and your family will be ruined? ”；

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Jiu with a smile.

Lu Jiu took out a folding fan and slapped it hard on the wound on the buttocks: "In this world, you are the only one who is extremely smart!" An Lushan An worked as a tooth man in Xishi Yaxing in his early years, and he had a good relationship with my father. My eighth sister, Wang Sango, also promised An Qingxu, the eldest son of An Daren, as a concubine since she was a child. Can my Wang family not help him?

Besides, the relationship between the powerful and rich in the capital is intertwined, and the reason is not clear. My Wang family wants to get out, where is it so easy. ”；

"Wang Liuli! You woman is so vicious. You dare to spank me, and even call me to the wound! "I was so angry that I almost jumped up.

"This is a lesson for you." Lu Jiu smirked.

"Laugh! You're still laughing. You know that the road ahead is not so easy to walk. He said with a sigh.

"Okay, let's take you and do something." After Lu Jiu finished speaking, he didn't care how he reacted, and left adrift.

"I said a long time ago that you are inexperienced, and you don't call me a hero in front of beautiful women. I was stabbed in the buttocks, and I was poisoned, so I felt good? When I go back, I must tell my eldest sister 1510. ”；

Not long after Lu Jiu left, Ning Jiao and the other three entered the tent again.

"Hey" Boss Hu sighed: "Accompany the caravan for a trip of one hundred taels of silver, and after going to the street like this a few times, I even have to take the old book." This time, the young master was injured, should you tell the young lady one by one. ”

"Are you here to see my injuries, or are you here to threaten me?" The three guys looked at them hatefully.

"I didn't say anything." Saturday raised his hands.

He looked at Boss Hu with fierce eyes, and Boss Hu lowered his head.

"Xiao Ningjiao, if I say that you were taken to the Qinglou by Boss Hu on the way to drink flower wine. You said that Lan'er heard it, how would she react? The road was smiling gloomily.

Ning Jiao glanced at the road contemptuously: "Lan'er won't believe your slander, besides, do you think that everyone is like you, so afraid of your own lady." ”

The caravan crossed the Yellow River, and there was no green and verdant in front of it, and it was empty and far away. The basin is gone. A mound of loess rises from the sunken earth. The loess is thicker and thicker, and the pile is higher and higher. Piled up into ridges, piled up into beams, and piled up into a large area of hills, all of which are shocking pale yellow.

Everywhere the convoy and the horses' hooves passed, yellow dust rose from the sky, fluttering, shrouding the entire convoy in the yellow mist.

"When you walk, you take the big road, don't take the small road. There are many people on the road, and they relieve their sorrows. If you live in a big store, don't live in a small store. There are a lot of thieves in the shop, and I'm worried about stealing you. Sleep in the middle of your sleep, don't sleep on both sides. Worry about the wall digger, digging in front of you. Drink water, you drink long flowing water, don't drink spring water. The snake in the spring swings its tail, worrying about drinking you. The green forest rings in the forest, worrying about the sweat medicine, ....... ”

A hoarse and desolate voice in the distance roared this folk song on the Northwest Road.

Except for the dull sound of horses' hooves and the monotonous sound of wheels, there was hardly anyone in the convoy talking. Everyone's heart is heavy, like a stone has been pressed.

On the edge of a sparse wood, the caravan stopped and set up camp early. Following the advice of the road, these days the carts are circled at night, and the people and horses are left in the middle of the circle. Over the course of a few days, the caravan slowly began to get used to this way of camping.

At dusk, the loess, the moon that sneaked out seemed to be dyed yellow.

The dead branches on the fire made a "crackling" sound, and bright flames danced on their bodies, driving away the cold air around them without a trace. Amir sat alone by the fire, picked up a dead branch and threw it into the fire, and watched it burn violently, the light of the fire making her face glow a bewitching red, so beautiful that she dared not look at it directly.

After changing into a tight-fitting guard uniform, Qiushui, who had a long sword hanging from his waist, glanced at the circle formed by the cart, and after muttering a few words to Lu Jiu, he walked to Aimir's side and sat down silently.

"The holy fire purifies all the filth of the world, including the body and soul of man. I don't know if I will be purified by the light of holiness after I die. Amir stared at the firelight as if muttering to himself.

"You live a good life, how can you talk about life and death lightly." Said sullenly.

"People always die, don't they?" Emile said faintly.

"But you have to try to live, don't you, there are still too many people and things in this world that you haven't experienced, and too many scenery that you haven't appreciated. You must always have no regrets in your heart and die slowly before you are willing. He watched a dead branch turn to ashes and said quietly.

"But this person is so tired and tired from life, how many people can be as lucky as you say." Amir looked at the dancing flames, and there was no life in his eyes.

"A monk who stayed at my house and didn't leave, when he saw me sighing and complaining about how tired I was all day, he told me a story about Buddhism. A middle-aged man went to see the monk master one day and said that people are really tired of living. The old monk didn't say a word, gave the middle-aged man a basket, let him enter the illusion, and said that if he saw something he liked, he would put it in the basket. In the end, the middle-aged man never came out again.

I understand the meaning of this story, which is to say that people are born with nothing and are naturally very relaxed. When I grow up, I want more things, and the more things I carry, how can I not get tired.

I knocked the monk's bald head with my backhand, you said that people's lives are so short, you don't even look at the things you like, what fun is there in life. Even though we get tired, at least the moment we grab our beloved things, we're happy and satisfied, aren't we? ”；

I glanced in the direction of Chang'an and smiled slightly.

When he heard the backhand hit the monk on the way, Amir laughed and let out a long breath.

"The little monk is still a little mistaken, in fact, people are born to be limited, where is there any ease. If you are the son of a farmer, you are confined to the circle of the farmer's life, and you have to farm. Your background is destined for what life you want to live and what responsibilities you will bear. ”；

"At least our hearts are still free. Amir, don't you have the life you aspire to? He asked.

"Blue sky, white clouds, endless savannah. If I could gallop and sing in my dream hometown, I would be like this withered branch and turn to ashes, and I would be satisfied. Emile muttered as he looked at the distant sky.

A dense sound of horses' hooves came to my ears, and the ground shook slightly. The sentinel arranged in the big tree next to the camp blew a terrible whistle, slid down the tree quickly, and rushed into the circle of the caravan.

The captain of the chamber of commerce's guard was a veteran of a hundred battles who had retired from the army, and his weather-beaten face showed no panic at all. The orderly command of the guards to get on the crossbow machine, the coachman and the strong man erected a long wooden pole, and the head of the pole was inserted with a sharp iron spear.

Seeing Boss Hu standing in the long-haired team, his legs trembling and trembling. When he rushed forward, he kicked his ass hard, and scolded angrily: "You have lost all the faces of the water bandits, and if you look like a bear, I will throw you out." ”

Nearly two hundred horse bandits in disheveled clothes galloped to the point where the caravan was nearly fifty paces away, and slowly stopped.

"The master of Kannai Dao who came, didn't you know that this was the caravan of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!" Wang Shiyi asked loudly.
