Chapter 136: Sunset
The so-called son of the world actually refers to two kinds of people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is a general reference to the noble family of the man, often used with the king and grandson, called "the prince and grandson", this is of course the aristocratic after the decline of the etiquette collapsed, the real son, as literally, refers to the son of the duke, such as the Duke of Qi Huan in the world in Bai Mo's previous life, when he was not the Duke of Qi, called "Gongzi Xiaobai", Bai Mo later knew that the person who "rescued" him this time, named Zhao Wuwu, is a genuine "son". Yes, he is the eldest son of Taiwei Xia Zhuguo, Zhao Guogong Zhao Guangzhong, and the future Zhao Guogong.
Handan.
Zhao Wuwu said "escort" before, but it was not a real escort. Bai Mo and the others were comfortable along the way, and there was a large army to defend them, but they walked more steadily and steadily than before. Handan is the only way for Fan Yang to go south to Fengjing, Bai Mo has been here many times, but the time is relatively early, and now he has come here again, and he has realized that things are wrong.
The dirt slope outside the city gate was bulldozed, and Miss Li, who used to sell breakfast, did not come out of the stall. Some of the buildings I have seen in my memory are gone, and some look very dilapidated. As the only way to communicate between the north and the south, the industry and commerce here are very developed, and it is precisely because of this that the population flows a lot, and the appearance of the city has become faster.
In a few days, Xu gradually had almost recovered. Although I can't do strenuous exercise yet, I can already walk on the ground. Wang Junqing was so badly injured that almost no part of his body was intact, so although he had woken up, he couldn't get out of bed. Zhao Wuwu did not confine them down, when he arrived in Handan City, he arranged a place for them to live, so he didn't care, and he didn't send anyone to monitor or anything.
Bai Mo didn't know that the colorful male loser he picked up was Zhao Wuwu's godfather. Gongyi Colorful is still by Zhao Wuwu's side and has not come back, and finally arrived in a big city like Handan, which is the territory of his grandson, and Gongyi Colorful has made up his mind to play it happily for a few days, until he tosses this old bone on the sickbed.
"Cherry, have you ever been to Handan?"
Bai Mo embraced the beautiful woman and walked on the bustling streets of Handan City.
Cherry shook her head and said, "No, this is the first time I've left Jingcheng." ”
"Lychee, what about you?"
Lychee replied in a panic, still stammering: "I, I, I ......"
Cherry smiled: "Nonsense, my sister has always been with me, I haven't been out of Jingcheng, and of course she hasn't been out either." ”
Lychee hummed heavily, affirming her sister's statement.
Bai Mo said: "That's it, that's really sad, there are great mountains and rivers in the world, and the two of you are so big that you only confine yourself in a county." ”
"So what? Everywhere you go, it's not all about water, soil, clouds, cars, horses, pedestrians, and houses. Cherry scoffed at Bai Mo's sigh.
"Hehe, too. Lang Jun saw a saying from a novel before, saying that this person looks very free, his head grows on his body, and he wants to go wherever he wants, but in fact, he is still bound in a circle, but some people have a large circle and may travel thousands of miles, and some people have a small circle, just like the two of you, who have never even been out of the county seat. But after all, it's still people in the circle. ”
"Could it be that someone can not be in the 'circle' you say? To put it this way, people who have gone to the ends of the earth are just confined to a larger circle! Cherry said, frowning, she really couldn't think of what was the point of Lang Jun not saying a few words of love when she was shopping.
Bai Mo smiled: "You're right, but people, they're actually very restless—beasts." It has a natural desire to migrate, just like migratory birds, and people travel farther than they fly, from the origin of the distant black soil land, to the present, to the place where we are called the Central Plains, not to mention thousands of miles? People are born with this desire. So, in the future, the ends of the earth are not the end, you look at the sky, what is there? ”
Cherry looked up at the sky. A frown, and after a while, it unfolds again. What is in heaven? What she saw was an endless blue, and in the early winter of this early winter the sky was either gray or clear, much uglier than the summer sky, and there were few birds to be seen, and it was very lifeless.
"There's a blue sky, ......"
"Yes, there is a blue sky. The firmament of the sky, its good and evil? It's far away and far away. We are now imprisoned on the land, and one day, we will fly to the sky. This is not enough, there is still heaven in the sky, and people will go up layer by layer. In deep space, there is nothing but the stars, there is a vacuum, and between the stars, it will be full of human footprints, not immortals. We are born nomads. We are the same as the Central Plains people, now we occupy the richest and richest land in the world, and conquer all the places where we can farm, but every year, many people will still leave here and go to the South Seas, to the far north to the far west, the Kunlun slaves we can often see are produced in the South Seas, and the ghost slaves live in more distant places. ”
Cherry frowned, she suddenly found that what she found in her Lang Jun's heart was so boundless and incredible. How is it possible for a person to fly? Relying on cultivation to pull out the house and soar up? Or do they end up all the people who become immortals, so immortals are people? The stars in the sky, far away, they look like they're set in the sky, and they look very close.
Lychee looked at Bai Mo with little stars in his eyes, and secretly said that his brother-in-law is really knowledgeable and thoughtful, and he is pleasing to the eye everywhere.
"I don't understand." Cherry said very seriously: "I don't understand why someone can fly, but the last thing I understand is why someone wants to fly?" Wow how good it is to be on the ground. Are the clouds in the sky good? If it's delicious, I think I'll be able to get a little interested. ”
"It's not tasty. It's tasteless – even a little earthy. You've walked in the clouds, and you've eaten it. ”
"How?"
"Clouds are actually the same thing. You blow out now. ”
Cherry blew lightly, and the white mist spat out of her mouth, forming a white smoke screen in the already cold air of early winter, which dispersed little by little, and finally became invisible.
Bai Mo smiled: "This is the cloud. ”
"What kind of crooked reasoning is this......" Cherry laughed angrily at him.
The old man who died back then didn't directly accept Bai Mo as a disciple.
In the eyes of the dead old man, saving Bai Mo, who was about to freeze to death, was just unbearable for a while. Please, it's very tiring to teach disciples, especially responsible teachers. If you don't have to pass on your Tao when you are dying, or you need to eat in this industry, who wants to do such a thankless job, not to mention the risk of starving the master after teaching the apprentice well.
It is precisely because of Bai Mo's "weird" ideas that the dead old man has a heart of love.
Bai Mo vaguely remembered the first sentence that the dead old man said after listening to him for the first time after he finished talking about these "crooked reasoning".
"It turns out that you, like me, were born to 'know'."
Cherry thought for a while, and said: "I still think it's useless to think about these things, Lang Jun, if you have time to think about this, you might as well think more about how to live a peaceful life." ”
Bai Mo said: "Men and women think differently on this point. Men are too detached from reality by nature and need a long time to hit a wall to return to reality, and women are too practical by nature and need a long time of self-hypnosis to be a little more detached from reality - but the former is the least likely to be deceived, and the latter is the most easily deceived, especially when they are old. ”
Cherry said angrily: "Then Lang Jun tell me, why is this?" ”
"Because in ancient times, men mainly went out to hunt, and when they waited for the prey, they were too bored, so they had time to think about it, and women picked fruit on the tree and fed the children under the tree, and had no time to think about those things."
Cherry smiled: "Is it that you can answer whatever I ask?" ”
Bai Mo nodded very conceitedly: "Excuse me." ”
"Then I ask you, I, how rare are you......"
This is a question that cannot be answered and does not have to be answered. I really stumped Bai Mo.
on the roof.
A sloppy little old man was using his dirty nails to remove the flesh between his teeth, Bai Mo and his woman were talking and laughing as they walked away, the little old man scratched his armpits in boredom, and muttered, "Hiss—this lice can find a place—but why does it know that the old man's squeaky socket is most afraid of itching?" Oops, accidentally, it tickled all over my body, and my heart was quite itchy. ”
The old man said, glancing at the room, Bai Mo's back was still in the distance, vague.
"Only that guy's disciple can be so clever. Brother Zhou, only you can teach such apprentices. Brother, I still remember you said, you don't care about mixing with people's affairs, you only have the universe in your heart, you are a good apprentice, the universe and people want to mix, but be careful to take too big a step and pull the eggs......"
The old man sighed with emotion, and turned over very arbitrarily, but accidentally slipped off the tiles and planted directly on the ground, and immediately screamed: "Ouch, my bones!! ”
At this time, a lazy young voice answered: "Did you fall to death?" Let you be poor, godfather, do you all like to stay in high places to look tall? ”
The old man said while buttocks: "Hmph, Xia worms can't talk about ice." How can you understand the world of our masters? ”
A purple-clothed boy walked around from the back of the room, holding three large skewers of pork in his left hand and two skewers of shredded pork kidneys in his right hand, his cheeks bulging, his chin still closed, and his mouth full of greasy.
He kicked the old man in dissatisfaction.
"Speak the same thing."
"Your ......" Before the old man finished speaking, he was gagged by the purple-clothed man.
"I hate you hypocrisy who pretend to be garlic every day, godfather, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say it or not, do you think it should be said?"
"Woo ......"
"Then I said, you are also a poor man, and Lao Tzu is the real temperament."
The purple-clothed man moved the soles of his feet, and the old man had tears in his eyes: "Ribs...... A few more broken ......"
……
Thousands of miles away.
Li Twelve rode arbitrarily on a small pony that was common here, followed by many warriors from the grassland, all of whom also rode on a pony. There were two people walking side by side, one was the envoy who came to Tuoba tribe at that time, and now Li Twelve knows his name, his name is Xiao He, and he is an official in most of Xianbei to Bailu Envoy, this person is actually quite handsome, but he has an indelible treacherous appearance in his eyebrows and eyes. On the other side, followed by Tuoba's daughter - Tuoba's wish to replace his daughter with Li Twelve finally failed, Xiao He still shamelessly pulled Tuoba's daughter here, saying that it was not enough to rely on Li Twelve alone.
Now Li Twelve knows that Tuoba's daughter's name is Tuoba Qiuyan - a more neutral name.
But these two people, like Bai Mo, did not receive any unbearable treatment, and even food, clothing, housing and transportation were better than those warriors who accompanied them, only a little worse than Xiao He, the envoy of Bailu.
All the way.
Direction...... Obviously towards the sunset.
Li Twelve became more and more convinced that his choice was not wrong. It is very likely that this trip will complete the most central task, which is to investigate the "Huns". The most worrying thing now is that the Xianbei general Dugu Kuaizai, who has overthrown the Khan, has extremely good martial arts, ranking seventh among the twelve kills and one product. Although he is no match for Liu Rufeng, Yin Long, Sun Lu Guichen and others, but he can enter the first grade, which means that he is already the top master in the world, and the first Persian warrior barely entered the fourth grade before he had an epiphany.
The Central Plains actually has very little information about Dugu Kuaizai. Perhaps only Pei Xingjian, who compiled the three books of the Merry Killing, Killing and Killing Yun, knew more. The evaluation of the killer product on him is: cunning, greedy, and murderous, and the sword and gun shooting are all wonderful, like the battle of the horse, you can pull to the fifth.
Li Twelve didn't have any confidence at all to deal with this supreme master, so he could only warn himself that he must be careful and not act rashly. After all, the main purpose of this trip is to find out intelligence, not to challenge the first master of the grassland.
Sunset.
Tuoba Qiuyan, who has been trekking for three days, is already a little impatient.
"When will it arrive?"
Tuoba Qiuyan's tone was still a little arrogant—just like when she spoke in front of her father. But Xiao He was not annoyed, he just replied casually: "It's very early." ”
"This is not the direction to go to the king's tent."
"Khan has been replaced."
"General Dugu?"
"Don't ask too much."
Li Twelve also asked similar questions several times.
But Xiao He was obviously very jealous of the matter of this trusted khan, and never revealed half a word, but he did not get angry or warn about it, maybe he felt that it was not worth this to the two tributes, maybe he understood that the female tributes could never be offended—maybe when they would turn into mistresses. And a handsome man like Li Twelve is actually not much different, and the superior people will always do things that make people embarrassed to speak. (To be continued.) )
