Chapter 3: Seeing Hope in Despair

When he turned to Hengshan Road from Chang'an, Tie Dan knew that such trouble would definitely appear, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

According to everyone's calculations, if the officials of the Ministry of Officials knew that Tie Xinyuan's family did not go to Jincheng County, but went to Hengshan instead, they would have to wait at least until the beginning of spring next year, but they didn't expect that they would already know it now.

Since Zhang Yuan's surrender to Western Xia, which brought endless disasters to the Great Song Dynasty, there is an additional provision in the imperial examination of the Great Song Dynasty, and scholars who fail to pass the examination five times in a row can enjoy the same Jinshi background.

Although there is still a lot of picking, it still gives the Great Song Dynasty readers a little more channels for promotion, which is better than nothing.

There were too many scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, and the consequence of the emperor's persuasion poem was that the world was prosperous.

It's not a good thing that there are too many readers, every year during the scientific examination, you can eat a thousand pieces of millet, and there are only 100 people who can hold Yan Ruyu, plus only 300 people in the system, which is really a drop in the bucket compared to hundreds of thousands of people who have learned poetry and books.

When Tie Xinyuan was forced to leave Tokyo, whether it was Xia Zhu, Bao Zheng, or Pang Ji, what he was most worried about was that Tie Xinyuan threw himself into Western Xia in a fit of rage.

In their opinion, if Tie Xinyuan went to Western Xia, the harm caused to the Great Song Dynasty would be far greater than that of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan is just a tried and tested poor man, while Tie Xinyuan is the best in the Great Song Dynasty, and he is well versed in current affairs, not a nerd who reads to death.

Naturally, Tie Dan also saw his portrait, and the portrait of Tie Dan was chubby and always had a smiling face like Maitreya Buddha, which made him a little nostalgic for the carefree days in Tokyo.

"I haven't seen it, among these portraits, this one looks kinder, military master, can you leave this portrait below?

If you see the villain, you will definitely report it as soon as possible. ”

The commander in charge snorted coldly. Then he beat his horse and went on.

Tie Dan confronted Mr. Big on Mr. Er's shoulder and said, "We can be regarded as betraying the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Mr. Big replied angrily: "No, we are just on the road all the time, betraying the Great Song Dynasty?" Brother Yuan won't agree.

Even if we set ourselves up as kings, we will not devote ourselves to Western Xia, whether it is Brother Yuan or Brother Qiao, the two of them flew out of the bird cage and entered the tiger and wolf's den, I am afraid it is not to their heart. ”

"Do you think I should take a trip to Qingtang and find Brother Qiao back? He was aggrieved and humiliated by the side of that coquettish woman, so it is better to come back and live happily with us. ”

When Mr. Big saw that the group of cavalry was walking away, he poked his head out and let out a sigh of relief: "Although I haven't seen Brother Qiao. But I also know a lot of things about him from your mouths, such an unobstructed hero, it is absolutely impossible not to worship under a woman's pomegranate skirt. ”

Tie Dan snorted, and seemed unwilling to discuss Brother Qiao, his brother could say that Brother Qiao was not, and others were not qualified to say a word about Brother Qiao, even if he said good things.

After resting for half an hour, Tie Dan ordered to set off again, this time carefully observing the homeless people he had selected without evil traces.

As Mr. Big said. This group of people doesn't seem to have brains, they say whatever they say, and they don't even question it.

When your brothers are together, even when it's the quietest. It's much livelier than this group of people.

However, he quickly took his eyes off those people, which was not the point, the point was that he found that his brothers really seemed to be the king of the mountain.

Taking a sharp breath of cold air, Tie Dan yelled, "Let's go! ”

Tie Xinyuan's nose was very uncomfortable.

It has something to do with the fact that he didn't take a shower when he slept last night. After a day of drilling in the desert, a sand bath with hot sand is the most wonderful time of the day.

But last night. There was so little firewood to be found, and I barely boiled a little hot water for the people in the caravan, and there was no extra firewood to fry the hot sand.

So, Tie Xinyuan, who has a habit of cleanliness, stood on the sand pile and scrubbed his whole body with cold sand, thinking that he was cold at that time.

Catching a cold in the desert is not a good phenomenon, Tie Xinyuan is secretly a little anxious, but his head gradually becomes confused, which is the first symptom of fever.

After the march swallowed two packets, drank two bowls of grape brew, and even used a little mushroom powder carefully, Tie Xinyuan wrapped himself tightly in his fur, ready to sweat well, hoping that he would be better when he rested at night.

"Ahh

Tie Yi looked worriedly at Tie Xinyuan, who was cowering in his fur, he had already sneezed countless times in a short period of time.

Ever since following Tie Xinyuan in a daze, Tie Yi really found that his body seemed to be recovering, and although it was very slow, he could still feel the slow progress.

The three injured brothers were already able to move slowly, which in the past, such injuries would have likely sent his three brothers to the knight's cemetery.

His body is recovering, but the master's body seems to be in great trouble, which makes his heart clench.

When he camped in the evening, Tie Xinyuan found that his illness seemed to be aggravated, and his limbs were sore, but his head became clear, and from time to time some strange thoughts flashed through his mind, needless to say, this was the power of mushroom powder.

Xu Dongsheng's pills there were useless at all, whether it was Xiao Chai Hu or Forsythia, Tie Xinyuan had eaten almost a pot, and his symptoms still did not decrease in the slightest.

Musin still hadn't returned, and had not been seen since his mysterious disappearance that night, and he was the best doctor in the caravan.

There is a large area of dry poplar forest in the camping place today, so there is no shortage of firewood, and Xu Dongsheng once again sacrificed his hot sand Dafa.

First of all, he carefully wrapped Tie Xinyuan with a fur fur, and then sent someone to find firewood, and there was a poplar forest here, which means that there was a river here.

Therefore, he dug up some hard sand from the river, and the reason why this sand is hard is because of the high moisture in the sand.

As soon as the sand was hot, the hard sand turned into steaming wet sand, and he unequivocally stripped Tie Xinyuan naked with the help of Tie Yi and them, and then covered his body with moist hot sand.

He even dug a marching stove in the hard soil beneath Tie Xinyuan. Firewood was lit under him, so that the sand would always be hot, and of course, the Iron Heart Source would also be hot.

"Lao Xu, you're not going to simmer me and eat it." Tie Xinyuan's whole body was steaming with heat, and although it was very hot, he still opened his mouth to laugh at Xu Dongsheng, who had a serious face.

"I'm not in the mood to eat you, your illness is actually not an occasional cold, but a lack of adaptation to the water and soil, you can stick to this place before getting sick, in fact, I already admire it."

When the sand on your body slowly dries out, the cold in your body will be removed, and you will be close to the soil again, and the problem of not adapting to the soil will disappear.

If it's too hot, keep quiet, lest I really roast you." ”

Tie Xinyuan closed his eyes with a smile, the symptoms of the combination of hot and cold in the day seemed to be fading, his body was sweating out, and he felt dry mouth after a while.

As soon as Tie poured grapes into his mouth, he did not want to drink the bitter water of the desert at all, and would rather get drunk than have his appetite suffered.

In fact, drinking wine does not quench thirst, even if it is cold grape wine, before he was drunk to death, Xu Dongsheng cursed Tie Yi, who kept pouring wine to Tie Xinyuan, and found half a bucket of camel milk, I don't know if it was heated and disinfected, so he poured a wooden spoon into Tie Xinyuan's mouth.

In the middle of the night, when Tie Xinyuan woke up from his drunken state, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a brilliant starry sky.

I don't know what constellation of meteor showers tonight is, the sky is full of meteors flying, it's really beautiful.

A low prayer attracted Tie Xinyuan, who turned his head and found Tie Yi prostrate on the ground praying. Not far from Tieyi, the other five slave knights were also praying, looking extremely reverent.

Xu Dongsheng, who was sitting next to Tie Xinyuan's head, looked enviously at Tie Xinyuan, who had opened his eyes, and said, "You really have six good helpers." ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed and said, "Originally, there should have been eighteen. ”

Xu Dongsheng said with a smile: "Not only will you have eighteen, but there will be one hundred and eighty in the future, and the area around Broken Leaf City is the castrated slave knights who were abandoned because of age or injury after the defeat of the war, you can get the hearts of these six people, and you will definitely be able to get the hearts of other slave knights."

This group of people can enjoy the riches of the world in their glory days, and when they begin to decline, they will also suffer the sufferings of the world.

To tell the truth, in the eyes of the people of the Western Regions, this group of people is either unattainable, or lowly and dirt-like people.

Many people say that they are cursed by the devil and never approach them easily, and you are the first person I have ever met who took the initiative to approach them.

Tell me, did you know about the slave knights from the beginning? ”

Tie Xinyuan licked his dry lips and shook his head: "When I was in the Great Song Dynasty, I had a lot of eunuch friends, and after being in contact with them for a long time, I wouldn't care about their physical disabilities.

In the Great Song Dynasty, eunuchs did not have many intimate friends, and neither men nor women thought they were the same people as themselves.

I only know one truth, when all people are excluded, if you befriend them, you will definitely get the greatest reward. ”

Xu Dongsheng smiled bitterly: "Sure enough, it is the article of the world's practice, this is what you praised me at the beginning, and now I will give him back to you, the truth you just said is not that no one knows, you are probably the only one who can bend down to verify and do it."

Now and in the future, I will not be surprised if I find out that you have a strong army of slave knights.

Because, that's what you deserve. (To be continued.) )
