Chapter 636: Shu Dao Difficulty (3)
In Jianzhou in late spring, the weather is unpredictable. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In the evening, it was still cloudy, but in the middle of the night, lightning flashed and thundered, and a heavy rain suddenly came.
Yang Shouwen opened his eyes suddenly and sat up.
Beside him, Wukong and Bajie also opened their eyes and looked at Yang Shouwen quietly.
It has entered Sichuan and entered the territory of Jianzhou. Continue south, and in two or three days, you can enter Zizhou and arrive at Shehong.
On this night, the group stayed overnight in Wulian County on the bank of the West Water.
After a long journey and sleeping in the open air, everyone felt very tired, so they went to bed early.
After entering Jianzhou, in order to ensure safety, Monk Sha and Xiao Bailong accompanied Li Bao'er. Yang Shouwen lived in a single room, and woke up from his sleep only to feel drenched in cold sweat. He got out of bed, stroked Wukong and Bajie, then straightened up, walked to the door and opened the door. A wind carrying water vapor blew, which made him feel a lot more energetic. Yang Shouwen took a deep breath, walked out of the room, and stood barefoot on the porch.
The two mastiffs also ran out and crawled at Yang Shouwen's feet.
He had just had a dream in which the young lady was calling him.
This dream, very weird, so weird that it made him feel ominous. The young lady is in danger, and she has to face the dual threat of the local power and the government, and she is afraid that life will not be too good. She wants to protect Chen Ziang again, and the pressure on her shoulders must be very great...... In Yang Shouwen's eyes, the young lady is still the little girl who followed him like a little tail in Changping. Let such a little girl do such a big thing, what should I do if there is a mistake?
As soon as he thought of this, Yang Shouwen's mood couldn't be calm.
He sat barefoot on the porch floor, one hand on Goku's head and the other on Bajie's body, watching the pouring rain outside, lost in thought.

As soon as the day dawned, Yang Shouwen couldn't wait to wake up everyone.
Li Bao'er got up full of anger, and said with an unhappy face: "Brother son, why did you get up so early, it's still raining outside." ”
Last night's pouring rain had turned into a drizzle by the early morning.
Yang Shouwen glanced at the rain and said with a smile: "After we cross the West Water, Bao'er can continue to sleep in the car." ”
"Okay, then I want you to tell me two stories in the evening."
Li Bao'er almost hung on Yang Shouwen's body, and made a sweet and greasy request.
Along the way, the road is long, the journey is long, and it is inevitable that you will get bored.
Especially after experiencing the initial excitement and curiosity, Li Bao'er will inevitably think of her family, and her mood will become much lower.
In order to alleviate the boredom and boredom of the journey, Yang Shouwen began to tell stories to Li Bao'er.
Since the Tang Dynasty, the legendary body has gradually been accepted by people, and the story that Yang Shouwen told Li Bao'er is taken from the "Liao Zhai" of later generations. Originally, it was just to pass the time, but I didn't want Li Bao'er to be fascinated. Although she was afraid, the more she was afraid, the more she liked it, so that Yang Shouwen had to tell a story every day before she would sleep obediently.
Not only Li Bao'er, but also Mingxiu and Huan Daochen, also like to listen to Yang Shouwen's story.
Yang Shouwen gently rubbed Li Bao'er's little head melon, and said with pity: "Okay, two is two, but we have breakfast first, we still have to hurry." ”
After getting Yang Shouwen's assurance, Li Bao'er suddenly got up and took the two maids and jumped away.
Four mastiffs followed them......
"Qingzhi, could it be that something happened?"
Regarding Yang Shouwen's behavior of rushing away early in the morning, Mingxiu noticed that something was wrong, so after Li Bao'er left, he stepped forward to ask.
"I don't know, I just feel a little ...... Somewhat uneasy. ”
"Uneasy?"
"Well, I was worried that something would happen to the young lady, so I decided to hurry early.
If all goes well, we can arrive at Shehong ...... the day after tomorrow By the way, there's something I want you to help with, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Mingxiu said: "What's the matter?" ”
"When I pass by the Salt Pavilion, I would like to ask you to go to the Salt Pavilion on my behalf.
When I was in Broken Leaf City last year, Li Ke once recommended a strange person to me, named Zhao Rui, who lived in Yanting County. Leaving Luoyang this time, your uncle recommended this person to me again. Come to think of it, this person does have real talents, so I want to ask him for help. And this time we came to Zizhou, we also need someone to help, this Zhao Rui is the right person.
It's just that I'm in a hurry to go to Shehong now, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop at Yanting.
He also has a friendship with your uncle, and if you come forward, this gentleman will surely not refuse...... I wonder if you're willing to work hard? ”
"It's very hard, then I'll go for it."
Mingxiu agreed without hesitation, which also made Yang Shouwen breathe a sigh of relief.
If he wasn't worried about the young lady, Yang Shouwen would prefer to visit him in person. But now, he really has no time to doppelganger.
The rain kept falling, not heavy, but it was dripping and irritating.
After crossing the Xishui Ferry, the convoy went all the way south, passing Huang'an, circling Zitong, non-stop.
According to Yang Shouwen's plan, they should be able to leave Jianzhou tonight and enter the territory of Zizhou. Unexpectedly, due to the rain, the road was slippery and difficult to walk, and although they hurried and hurried, by the evening, they still could not enter Zizhou.
Yang Shouwen was a little anxious, and after the rain stopped, he ordered to speed up.
The anxiety in his heart was felt even by Li Bao'er, who had always been very arrogant, so he didn't stop it.
Bao'er knew that Yang Shouwen was anxious to save the young mother.
And she also knows that the young lady has a high status in Yang Shouwen's heart, and she has a very heavy weight. However, Bao'er did not feel jealous because of this, but because of what happened to the young lady, she felt pity for her, and supported Yang Shouwen's determination even more.
"Ah Lang, I'm afraid the horses won't be able to hold it if they keep rushing like this."
When the moon rose in the east and the stars twinkled, the old bull head suddenly spoke and persuaded him.
This time, Yang Shouwen and his entourage had a total of forty-four people, of which thirty-six were their subordinates.
After a day's journey, the servants were tired, and their mounts were also a little unsupportable. Yang Shouwen took a look at the situation of the horses and knew that he was not up to speed. So he reined in his horse, raised his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Old bull, go further, if there is a place to camp, rest for a while, and continue on your journey tomorrow morning." ”
"The villain remembers that there is a river bay further on, and the ground is higher enough to camp."
"In that case, let's hurry up."
Yang Shouwen immediately ordered everyone to speed up, and the group soon came to the river bay that the old bull head said. Some of them rested from the horses and replenished the fodder, while the rest of the people made fires and rebelled, and were busy. Yang Shouwen stood absentmindedly on the edge of the river, raising his eyes to look into the distance. He summoned the old bull head, "How long is it from here to the flood?" ”
"If the weather is good, at today's pace, we will arrive at noon the next day at the latest."
"Hmm!"
Yang Shouwen nodded, and suddenly said, "Old Bull, I have a task with you." ”
"Aaron, please."
"I want you to travel overnight, and when you arrive at Shehong, get in touch with the young lady.
Tell her that I will soon arrive at Shehong, and let her be calm and impatient no matter what happens. ”
The old bull was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"Little Lao'er understands, and he will definitely bring words to the little lady."
Yang Shouwen nodded, and took out another money bag, which contained two gold cakes and some loose copper coins.
"If you have trouble along the way, you can take care of it.
In short, it is necessary to rush to Shehong as soon as possible and find the young lady...... I always feel that something is going to happen, and you have to be careful. ”
The old bull head was not polite, took the money bag, and turned to leave.
Seeing the old bull head leave, Yang Shouwen breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't say why, but as he got closer and closer, the uneasiness intensified, making it difficult for him to feel at ease. Hopefully, the young lady won't have an accident......
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And just like that, nothing happened all night.
The next day, Yang Shouwen woke up early in the morning and urged everyone to continue on their way.
While passing through the Catalpa Forest, Mingxiu said goodbye and left, and went to Yanting to visit Zhao Rui. And Yang Shouwen led the others and continued to go south.
By noon, they took a break on the road.
The two days of travel were really hard, so that Li Bao'er's face was haggard.
Fortunately, there are two maidservants by her side to take care of her, which makes Li Bao'er not so hard. Yang Shouwen looked at her haggard appearance and couldn't help but feel distressed, so he stepped forward and sat down beside Li Bao'er. He was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the official road in the distance.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, Hugh is going to get in the way!"
A group of cavalry galloped from a distance, and the knights on the horses also looked dusty and tired.
Still, they urged their horses to gallop at great speed.
The little bell came from the river beach across the road with a jug of water, and when he saw the cavalry rushing towards him, he was so frightened that he forgot to dodge.
But the cavalry did not slow down, but still hastened their horses.
Seeing that the little bell was about to be knocked down by the galloping horses, Li Bao'er also stood up and shouted in surprise: "Little bell, dodge quickly." ”
However, it was too late!
It was too late, but it was too soon, and the four mastiffs pounced and roared wildly at the cavalry.
At the same time, a huge figure rushed to the middle of the official road, blocked the small bell behind him, and roared at the galloping horse, and flew out of the iron mallet in his hand. The hammer burst through the air with a sharp whistling sound, striking the horse's head. The horse was beaten to the point that his brain burst, and Xi Yuyu screamed, took two steps, and fell to the ground.
And the knight on the horse was thrown far away, and he couldn't get up for half a day.
As for the knights behind him, they were immediately shocked when they saw this, and they quickly drew their swords out of their sheaths, and in an instant, the light of the swords flickered......
"Heida, stop them for me."
Yang Shouwen also stood up and rushed to the official road quickly.
When passing by the carriage, he raised his hand and picked up the Xuantie spear from the carriage, and at the same time shouted: "Huan Daochen, protect Xiaoguo." ”
The servants who were originally resting on the side of the road also got up one after another and took out their weapons.
Yang Shouwen walked quickly to the center of the official road, and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, actually riding on this official road?" (To be continued.) )
