Chapter Thirty-Eight: I'm Not Li Xiaoyao
"Zhaohui's men and horses are now short of grain and grass, if they can rob this batch of grain and grass, then these thousands of Qing troops can only break through, although the warriors in the tribe are not good at attacking the camp, but the tail chasing and killing is a good trick, so when they flee back to Laining City, it is estimated that there will not be many people left!" , Seeing that victory was in sight, Chen Jialuo didn't have much joy, the Qing army was to be defeated by himself, and when he won the world, he would not be able to tolerate the rebellion of the Mu Zhuolun tribe; Now he wants to help fight on one side and the other, although it is to consume the strength of the Qing army, but seeing two opponents fighting on Chinese soil, it is not a good feeling in my heart, just like watching Japan and Russia fight in the northeast at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
"This battle is bound to take down the dog head of Zhaohui!" , Dustless Dao Elder smiled, for these people, the northwest was too far away, as if it was another country, and they didn't realize the pain in Chen Jialuo's heart at all.
"There is Brother Lao Twelve in the city to inquire about the news, to find out the time, route and strength of the grain team's departure; Send another guide to take the second brother and them to find the old hero Mu! ", Chen Jialuo commanded.
"Yes! There are many Tartars in the area of Leining City, and it is just time to set off at night! Shi Shuangying agreed and began to arrange a guide.
"Won't you come with us, helmsman?" , the dust-free Taoist chief asked.
Chen Jialuo is in an irritable mood now, and the hearty laughter of the Red Flower Congregation has become harsh, after all, he is estranged from the people of this world, I am afraid that even if he says what is in his heart, not many people can understand! Now he just wants to find a place to be quiet by himself, "I'll go and look at the geography nearby, and see which places are suitable for ambushes." Seeing that others were eager to try, Chen Jialuo waved his hand, "There are many Tartars here, and it is not beautiful if there are more people who go, my martial arts are passable, even if I can't beat and escape when I encounter Tartars, it's not a problem!" If you get lost, grab a tartar and ask. ”
Seeing that he was reasonable, everyone stopped insisting and mixed out of Laining City in batches, and the guide arranged by Shi Shuangying took them to the direction of Yarkand City, while Chen Jialuo slowed down and fell behind.
When the sun set in the northwest late, until nine o'clock in the evening, when the sun was still hanging above the horizon, Chen Jialuo found a sheltered place at the foot of the mountain and set up a tent, and after feeding the horses, he looked at the desert dyed golden by the setting sun while nibbling dry food, and after a long time, he sighed and went back to sleep in the tent.
The next day, the weather suddenly became hot, the scorching sun was in the sky, the people and horses were sweaty, he wanted to find a shady place to rest, everywhere he saw was the sand dunes, although he brought several bags of water when he set off from Lai Ning City, he didn't dare to drink more, and after feeding the horses, he took a sip of water and slowly walked forward in his mouth according to the experience of watching Bei Ye's video. When he was walking groggily and sleepy and tired, suddenly the horse under the crotch raised his head, sniffed a few times to the sky, and then his spirit was violently lifted, and Herod's neighing galloped southward. Not long after running, a sparse camel grass suddenly appeared between the sand dunes, and the further you went, the more grass went underground. Chen Jialuo thought to himself, no wonder the old horse knew the way, it had found a water source.
In the blink of an eye, a stream appeared in front of him, the old horse ran to the stream, Chen Jialuo jumped off the horse, saw that the water was clear to the bottom, reached in and felt cool, and the heat of the whole body was driven away in an instant. I took a handful of water and sent it to my mouth, thought about it and handed it to the old horse first, I have watched so many videos of Bei Ye, it is better to be cautious to drink raw water in the wild, after the horse drank a few sips of water, he hissed and ran a few steps with Huan'er, looking very happy.
After a few sips, he took off his boots and soaked his feet, and then went into the water to wash them cleanly, and washed the old horse after he came out; When he went on the road again, he was refreshed again, and he did not pull the reins, and let the old horse wander up the stream by himself. After walking for a while, he saw a big mountain, the mountain was lush and green, Chen Jialuo knew that in the northwest land, most of the tribes lived by water, and when they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they must be able to find someone to ask where Mu Zhuolun was.
Bypassing a waterfall, the old horse took Chen Jialuo through a few rows of pine trees, the eyes suddenly became bright, what caught his eye was a big lake, the south end of the lake was a big waterfall again, the water splashed everywhere, the sunlight reflected, a rainbow appeared, the flowers and trees around the lake were uneven, the mixed flowers were red and white, reflected in the turquoise lake, strange and inexplicable. In the distance is a vast grassy plain, stretching out endlessly, connecting with the sky, and hundreds of white sheep are running and grazing on the meadow. At the western end of the steppe is a high mountain that rises into the sky, covered with snow from the mountainside, but covered with green trees below.
If there are sheep, there should be people? Where did the sheep herder go? Just as he was looking around, he suddenly saw a slight ripple in the lake, and a white arm as white as jade stretched out from the lake, and then a ** head came out of the water, turned his head, saw him, screamed, and got into the water again.
At this moment, Chen Jialuo had clearly seen that she was a brilliant girl, and several thoughts instantly popped up in his heart, first, unlucky, I don't know if she went into the water when she drank water just now; second, I didn't expect that I would do the same thing as Li Xiaoyao; Third, if I remember correctly, this is probably Huo Qingtong's sister Kasli.
A moment later, a waterline stretched eastward on the surface of the lake, the girl's head protruded from the flowers, between the gaps in the verdant trees, revealing her skin as white as snow, her long black hair scattered on the surface of the lake, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars in the sky stared over, and a crisp voice said, "Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Without waiting for him to answer, he continued, "Go away, I'm going to get dressed!" ”。
Chen Jialuo is not a person who has never seen a woman, so naturally he will not stay here with a shy face, turn around and take two quick steps to hide in the pine forest.
Suddenly, a delicate and clear singing voice came from the other side of the lake: "Brother passing, why did you escape so fast when you came back?" Can't open your mouth? You come to take a peek at people taking a bath, I ask you, should you be so bold? The singing voice is light and lively, and there is a smile on the cheeks of the person who wants to see the singer.
Hehe, the light singing dispelled the dark clouds in his heart, since he took over the position of helmsman, he was very tired every day, and today he became cheerful again in this song; With a thought, he turned out from behind the tree and began to sing at the top of his voice.
