Chapter 074: The Narrow Road 1
At noon, the group rushed to the vicinity of the tributary of the Dahei River.
The calm river flows eastward through the flat land, and the mountains rise and fall in the distance, and the green and yellow junction is like a colorful ribbon meandering along the mountain range, and the scenery is infinite.
Let everyone rest on the spot near the river, Qin Shen and Qu Han walked along the river and stepped upstream.
The weather is getting colder and colder, but the long-flowing river has not frozen at this time, the weather is cold and warm, and the river surface condenses a layer of unreal light mist, like a fairyland on earth, it is very beautiful.
At present, the two of them don't want to talk for a while.
Behind him, there were bursts of cheerful conversation and laughter from everyone, and the occasional loud shouting of the horses, Cao Jin was shouting loudly, laughing and mingling with everyone.
Looking back, Qin Shen turned his head and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "If I sell these horses as a book, will I become a rich man in the world because of this?" ”
Well?
Qu Han glanced at him sideways in surprise, and then smiled: "Why did Brother Qin suddenly have such an idea?" ”
Qin Shen smiled faintly seemingly casually, shrugged his shoulders and explained, "It's just a whim because I remembered an old person. ”
Although he covered it up well, Qu Han still noticed a trace of emotion release from his movements, and after a short pause with a smile, he suddenly said, "Are you disheartened because you are confused about the road ahead?" ”
Qin Shen was stunned for a moment, and shook his head slightly.
After a moment of silence, he sighed softly and said, "Do you know? On the way back to Wuquan this time, I had a sword contest with others. ”
"Than an arrow?" Qu Han looked at him suspiciously, then at his waist and continued to look puzzled: "Sword? ”
Does the breadth and profundity of Chinese lie in homophony? In a helpless slight complaint, Qin Shen tapped the scabbard several times to signal.
"The result?" Qu Han's eyes were a little solemn.
Qin Shen smiled meaningfully, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm still standing in front of you intact at the moment, what do you think of the result?" ”
Qu Han nodded and asked, "Who is the other party?" ”
"Chu He." Qin Shen looked back for a moment before giving an answer, then smiled and said lightly: "It is said that it is a well-known ranger in the Yan Ji area. ”
"I've heard of this person, who became famous at a young age, and is quite conceited." Qu Han's expression calmed down.
Seeing his expression, Qin Shen had the intention to stimulate him and pretended to sigh, and said, "Brother Qu has traveled the world for more than ten years, why did I report your name but no one knew it, it made me embarrassed for a while." ”
Qu Han glanced at him with a funny look as if he had seen through his thoughts, and said indifferently: "I am not a brave and aggressive person, it is normal for my reputation to be inconspicuous, on the other hand, Brother Qin's defeat of Chu He this time, I am afraid that after you become famous, you will have to add a stroke of swordsmanship." ”
Okay! I've become a brave and aggressive person!
Qin Shen felt amused at his words, and he didn't think it was a pestle, and instead said: "But to be honest, since this sword competition, I am more curious about why Brother Qu only taught me the method of attack, but did not point out the way of half a point of defense. ”
As he spoke, a palpitation flashed in his eyes, and he sighed: "Don't you know, because of this, I was not embarrassed when I was competing with the sword, and I almost lost." ”
"No other."
Qu Han looked at him helplessly and said: "As I said to you before, the battlefield is all about fighting for your life, if you still take care of defense, I am afraid that you will have already been entangled by the surrounding enemy troops and exhausted to death, so the battle on the battlefield is to fight bravely, not to defend yourself." ”
Yan sighed, and continued with a little blame: "How did I know that you would use this swordsmanship to fight with others? If I hadn't trained your reflexes by throwing sticks, I'm afraid you would have been in the Yellow Springs by the moment, instead of standing by the river and questioning me, alas...... Since you are keen on this, I will teach you how to defend in the future. ”
Qin Shen smiled and persuaded with good words: "Brother Qin, don't be annoyed, you look like this, it seems that I am persecuting you." ”
Isn't it? Qu Han shook him angrily and funny.
Everyone rested for a moment and set out on the journey again.
At dusk, the city of clouds finally appeared at the end of the avenue, standing majestically, as if waiting for the pedestrians from afar to surrender to him and worship.
Looking at the ancient city that was even more magnificent in the twilight, Qin Shen sighed secretly and had mixed feelings.
A few months ago, he died here, opening a new chapter in his time, and at this moment, he will set foot here again to write another turning point in his life.
Could this be the fate of the legend?
Qin Shen shook his head with mixed feelings, gathered his mind and rode his horse to take the lead and quickly run forward.
Hundreds of horses instantly kicked up a cloud of dust in the sky, and the sound was huge.
The guards in the clouds were about to pull up the drawbridge and close the city gate to end a busy day, when they suddenly saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards the avenue ahead with the sound of rolling hooves, and they did not hesitate in the panic.
For a moment, when everyone rushed to the outside of the moat to look at each other, there were only hundreds of soldiers on the opposite bank of the city wall.
The clouds are not my blessed land!
Qin Shen sighed secretly again and glanced at Cao Jin.
Cao Jin nodded, raised his anger and suddenly shouted: "I am the general of the Wuquan Qin Shen family, Cao is also!" The lord of my family was ordered by the envoy to come to the cloud to catch the thief and arrest the murderer, and you didn't quickly put down the drawbridge and welcome the lord of my family inside! ”
Seeing that he shouted seriously and caused a gimmick, there were a few "snorts" in the crowd, and they couldn't help but chuckle.
Is there such a rampant and domineering shouting door?
Those who don't know still think we're the Earth Overlord!
Qin Shen was also angry for a while, and in annoyance, he couldn't help but suddenly stretch out his foot and kick the horse under his seat to show his blame.
"Yu ~ Yu ~" The horse was frightened and walked up and down with broken steps, Cao Jin suddenly hurriedly controlled it, and complained and shouted: "Ouch! Lord, what are you kicking me for? ”
Everyone couldn't hold back their laughter for a moment.
And when the laughter under the city is inexorable, there is also a noise on the city wall.
Wuquan Qin Shen?
Recently, I have heard too much about this name, and it makes people feel unreal when I hear it again, but just now I saw that the other party was full of Han army clothes, and a few days ago, there were rumors that General Qin was going to come to Yunzhong to serve, and I heard it at this moment, and there was no doubt.
Everyone lowered their bows and crossbows, and the clever man had already rushed to the place where the drawbridge was enclosed.
"Stop!"
A loud shout rang out, and while the person who was about to activate the machine was startled, the cheers were faintly heard in the city.
Qin Shen felt that this voice seemed a little familiar, and couldn't help but listen carefully.
"My subordinates have seen the general!" The guard saw the person who was coming, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed in a low voice.
Liu Guang snorted, and just reprimanded without paying attention: "The city gate is the most important thing in a city, how can it be opened at will?" Do you want to ignore what I usually teach? ”
"Don't dare!" The guards hurriedly denied it.
However, I was unconvinced in my heart, and secretly thought to myself: It seems that the rumors are true! Otherwise, why was the general's concubine able to open the door when he returned to the city in the middle of the night last time, but not this time?
