After hearing this, the man rushed to the man beside him: "Go, inform the castle chief!" The bystander immediately climbed down the corner tower and ran towards the fort, and the man looked around again to make sure that there was no suspicious smoke and dust in his field of vision, and then he was relieved.

After a while, a forty-year-old man landed in the corner, he glanced at Lin Xiu, asked a few more questions, and after making sure that Lin Xiu was not a thief, he ordered the fort soldiers to open the fort door.

After entering the fort, Lin Xiu walked quickly to the big man: "Castle Chief, in Xia Lin Xiu, I am tired from this trip, come to beg for saliva to drink!" ”

The castle chief waved his hand, and the person who answered with Lin Xiu immediately took the water bag and handed it to Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu swallowed it a few times, and said slowly: "Castle chief, do you want to inquire about something?" About a day or two ago, did you see a caravan pass by? ”

The castle chief pondered for a while, and said, "A day and a half ago, there was really a caravan passing by here, and it seemed that there were quite a few people, more than a hundred people, and many swordsmen accompanying it!" What is this, you ask? ”

"Great!" Lin Xiu immediately became excited, so he and Lin Mao's caravan were not far apart, if it went well, he would be able to catch up tomorrow, Lin Xiu didn't explain much at the moment, he arched his hand to the castle chief, said thank you and left in a hurry, but the castle chief frowned, and whispered secretly: "This baby is so anxious, I also want to tell him that the ground is already unstable, be careful..."

Leaving Juntun Fort, Lin Xiu galloped towards the dirt road in the northeast direction according to the description of the fort chief.

As the caravan continued to advance northward, the surrounding undulating hills and slopes gradually disappeared, looking from a distance, beyond the gray expanse, is a thousand miles of grassland, thousands of miles of barbarian realm, Lin Mao held the reins in his hand tightly, in the next trip, Lin Mao encountered two border army scout cavalry, this situation made Lin Mao feel a trace of timidity, is it that the grassland has been chaotic to such a point?

But when he thought of his son, Lin Mao's trance-like heart hardened again, Lu Zhen said it well, his mother-in-law also said it well, and even the barbaric slut in Chen Yu's mansion said it well, Shang is the cheapest, 'cai' is also false, only silver is the most real.

"Brother He, Brother He..."

He Laojiu, Lin Mao, and Lu Zhen marched side by side, and suddenly heard shouting from behind, He Laojiu slowed down his horse, turned around and looked, and a knife man rushed towards him with a whip.

The swordsman came to the front and said, "Brother He, the brothers are pressing the tail at the back of the team, and they found a horse in the distance, and they see that the situation is not quite right, it seems that they are coming straight for us!" ”

"Chasing? One person? "He Laojiu seems to have no belief, in this wilderness, even robbers, horse thieves and hundred-and-ten people came to rob the road together, and one person chased him, isn't his head caught by his own mother-in-law and aunt at night?

"Brother Lin, you go slowly, I'll take a look at the situation, beard, take a few brothers to the front to explore the way!"

He Laojiu shouted, and the bearded man immediately took seven or eight swordsmen forward in his position to investigate the road conditions, while Lin Mao and Lu Zhen commanded the coachmen to slow down and take a break.

Lin Xiu galloped along the old mud road in the northeast, when he saw the slowly moving black line in the distance, Lin Xiu's heart was hot, and he suddenly became excited, it must be his father's caravan, right now this place is only a hundred miles away from the summer realm, if he is half a day late, Lin Mao will definitely leave the country.

At this point, Lin Xiu struggled to whip and kick, his body bow was close to the horse's back, and the wind mixed with sand and dust flew past his ears, hitting Lin Xiu's cheeks, and the horse under his crotch also neighed and dragged his head and galloped, under the four hooves, the dust was flying, which was very abnormal in the eyes of He Laojiu's swordsman.

He Laojiu led more than ten swordsmen to the caravan side, a long snake spread out, the swordsmen stared intently at the direction of the smoke and dust, their legs tightly clamped the horse's belly, one hand pressed on the hilt, the other hand held the reins, the slightest movement, He Laojiu these people will draw their knives and slap the horse and rush forward, cutting off the unknown tail here.

About half a moment later, the tail finally came closer, several swordsmen stared wide-eyed, and immediately gave birth to a trace of suspicion, they looked at He Laojiu, as if to ask again, why is this person so young, I am afraid that he is just twenty years old, even if he is tired of the dust, he can't stop the immature breath on his body.

"Who's coming?"

Although He Laojiu was also full of confusion, it was his duty to protect the safety of the caravan, and He Laojiu did not speak out until the chasing people stopped their horses.

Lin Xiu looked at these vigilant sword-wielding men, and then looked at the caravan behind them that had slowly moved away, Lin Xiu said urgently: "Dare to ask the merchant of this caravan is Lin Mao?" ”

When He Laojiu heard this, he immediately asked: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm his son, Lin Xiu!"

At night, the caravan rested at Erliangpo before the summer realm, and it was originally possible to leave the country today, but Lin Xiu's appearance completely disrupted Lin Mao's plan, in front of the fire, Lin Mao and Lin Xiu sat facing each other, and Lu Zhen and He Laojiu and others went to other fires to keep warm.

"Dad, go back, let's not do this deal!" Lin Xiu spoke out again to convince him, this sentence has been said dozens of times since he saw Lin Mao, but Lin Mao was silent again and again without responding, and Lin Xiu gradually became impatient about this.

"Dad, do you know that Lincheng has gone to Beizhen Fort to issue an order to prohibit merchants from going north, what does this mean? There is already a big mess on the grassland, going at this time is tantamount to a sheep into the tiger's mouth, Dad, please, let's go back, otherwise if you always have an accident, what should my mother do? What should I do? ”

"Alas..."Lin Mao seemed to be tired of listening, his expression gradually became agitated, and after a heavy breath, the old man who was already fifty years old man took the wine bag and poured two sips, the spicy wine stimulated his nerves, let him lift his spirit again, put down the wine bag, Lin Mao looked up at Lin Xiu, for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Xiu'er, you go home, after this trip, I will wash my hands!" ”

"No, I told my mother, I'm going to bring you back well!"

Lin Xiu's persuasion turned Lin Mao from anxiety to annoyance, seeing that Lin Xiu still wanted to say something big, Lin Mao suddenly threw the wine bag to his feet, and leaned straight forward with an arrow step, and his calloused hand was vigorously pumped into Lin Xiu's face, the voice was crisp and loud, making people's hearts tremble.

"Shut up!"

Lin Mao bared his teeth and roared like a crazy old dog: "I'm your Lao Tzu, what Lao Tzu does, I don't need my son to point out anything, Lao Tzu, I have run a lifetime of business routes, and it's not bad this time, now, you go back for me!" ”

Lin Xiu was slapped by Lin Mao, his stunned figure, his eyes trembled slightly, and he stared at Lin Mao like that, Lu Zhen on the side heard this, and immediately trotted over, pulled down Lin Mao and said urgently: "Old thing, what are you doing?" Xiu'er chased it for hundreds of miles for your good, if you don't remember it, forget it, why do you still do it? You old bastard, why do you get more and more confused the older you get..."
