Chapter 172: Arrival

The wind and sand outside have not stopped, so Peng Xian they rested overnight on the edge of the Great Wall gap of the former Zhao State, they specially arranged personnel to be on duty all night, fortunately, the whole night was safe, Peng Xian's heart gradually put down, the only constant is that the wind and frost outside have not decreased, on the contrary, there is even a tendency to intensify, but these wind and frost Peng Xian is not worried about this, people who walk in Shuobei always have their own unique way of observing the weather, What's more, it was an old man like Peng Xian, who had been walking in Shuobei for many years, his expectations had always been very accurate, and sure enough, on the morning of the second day, the wind and frost gradually lightened, and the sky returned to the clear time of the past.

The caravan men who had slept all night hurriedly ate some of their own dry food under the urging of Peng Xian, and then returned to the road, they rested very well so the speed also increased a little, they blew their own unique trumpets in this heaven and earth silent advance, the thick and heroic singing echoed in this cloud, and the whole caravan gradually moved towards the west.

Peng Xian was unhurriedly following the back of the caravan at this time, he couldn't stay in the caravan all the time, so this time he let Du Lin walk in the front as the leader, Peng Xian took off the cloak on his body and stuffed it into the burden on his back, he looked at the gradually familiar scenery in the distance, he estimated that he should be able to reach the Shuobei River in some time.

His mood gradually calmed down at this time, and he looked much more relaxed.

Dührin walked ahead, and he rode a mule and horse towards the back of the caravan, shouting, "It's here, we're here, we're here, we're here." ”

He shouted in the caravan and came to Peng Xian's side, "In front of Peng's gang is the Shuobei River." ”

Peng Xian had a smile on his face.

The whole caravan erupted in shouts of excitement, which were mixed with joy and mixed with pleasure, for the danger was greatly reduced only when they reached the Shuobei River, at least in the territory of Qin, far behind this caravan, the old Great Wall of Zhao seemed to be crawling behind them, and they could only look at a line from afar.

As the caravan moved forward again for about a few hundred meters, a small river twisted in front of them.

The clear water of the river seems to be the most relaxing, this river is not so much a river as a larger stream, shouts are issued one after another in the caravan, no wonder they are so excited, the half month of walking has accumulated too much strength for them, they need to vent at this time, and to be able to see the river in the north of Shuobei means that they have succeeded most of their trip.

Many people rushed to the river to pick up the water from the river and drank it bitterly, and when the river water poured on their faces, it seemed to instantly fade away all the tiredness, and the fragrance was incomparably sweet, and they filled their bodies with all the water they could hold.

"Don't patronize yourself, unload the goods, and move the mules and horses to the river." Peng Xian scolded.

Although he looked like a reprimand, his tone was much more relaxed, even he relaxed his vigilance at this time, if he was like this all the time, he would be suffocated.

"I know the head of the Peng gang." Someone loudly echoed and led the mule and horse over.

Durin passed by the river and handed him a water bladder filled with water.

Peng Xian took it, opened the water bladder and drank it slowly, and the sweet water flowed from his throat to his heart.

It was as if the fatigue of the past few days had been forgotten at this time.

"It seems that Peng Bangtou is in a good mood." An unfamiliar voice came from behind him.

Peng Xian managed all the trivial things in the caravoy, he remembered the hundred people in the caravan clearly, but this voice sounded unfamiliar, so he only thought that the two strange men who joined halfway would come.

He put the water bladder back in Durin's hand, and turned to meet the strange man with the hat, but even then the man had no intention of taking it off, except occasionally showing some kind of sharp gaze from the hat.

"This guest doesn't know anything." Peng Xian explained, pointing to the river in front of him, "This river is called Shuobei River, and the reason why I am so relieved is that we can really enter the grassland and stay away from the border of the Qin Empire after crossing this Shuobei River, so that we can be regarded as truly safe." ”

Peng Xian said this, he didn't know if the man understood, but he keenly caught the joy that flashed in the man's eyes.

They stayed here for about an hour before they were back on their way.

Crossing the river and crossing the river symbolize a completely different meaning, the Shuobei River is actually not wide or deep, just knee-high, people and mules and horses can easily pass.

The caravan had been in a cheerful mood all the way, and when they came to the grassland, they seemed to feel that the sky here was brighter.

The sky was clear, the occasional goshawk chirped in the sky, crisp and loud, and the weeds and rocks on the ground gradually disappeared at this time, replaced by tender green grass reaching ankle-deep.

The whole caravan went west for another two days, and some people were even thinking that they would be able to exchange enough cows and sheepskins this time, hoping to return and sell them for a good price.

Everyone was immersed in the joy, and they didn't notice Peng Xian, a touch of melancholy between his eyebrows, because it had been two days since they had been away from the Shuobei River, but they still didn't see a shadow of a herdsman, and he even felt so dazzling when he looked at the green grass nearby.

……

……

On the third day, Peng Xian became more and more uneasy.

Du Lin was observing Peng Xian all the time, so he was the first to feel this keenly.

"What is the head of the Peng gang worried about?"

"At this time, before they reach the tribe, they will come from afar to trade some goods with them, and even these herdsmen will say that even some of the people from the tribe who are a little closer will come by a few days, and at this time, not only them, the traders, but also the herdsmen, will feel happy, this is a winning situation."

Now there is no news from all over the country, as if they are the only caravan left in the entire grassland.

When they crossed a hill, they finally saw the long-awaited white tents, which fell on the land like sprinkled seeds.

Durin and the rest of the men cheered and headed for the tribe below the hills.

"Wait." Peng Xian said and grabbed the sleeve of Du Lin in front of him.

Durin was stumbled and fell to the ground by Peng Xian, covered in crumbs of grass.

He got up, and he didn't get angry and looked at Peng Xian, who had a cautious face, and said, "What's the matter, Peng Bang Leader." ”

"Something isn't quite right." Peng Xian looked at the distance and became more and more determined.
