Chapter 107: All the Way West (2)
Early the next morning, Yang and Lin'er set off quickly. It's just that whether they can move in to rescue the soldiers, Shuang'er has no bottom in her heart! The situation at home is too complicated, even if Uncle Yang is an old man in the family, I am afraid that it will be difficult to successfully move to rescue the soldiers!
In the evening, the group set off and began to flee day and night. If it's in summer, it's really comfortable to go out at night, and the cool breeze at night not only avoids the heat of the day, but also listens to the sound of insects, even on the road, it's not so lonely! But now it's winter, and the winter nights are even colder, with nothing but the howling wind!
In this way, the group can be regarded as suffering, but compared to walking during the day, the uncertainty of traveling at night is greater, and the possibility of being intercepted will be correspondingly reduced, this additional torture is also worth it!
Maybe it was the way of traveling day and night that made the other party unpredictable, or maybe the parties were not fully prepared, in short, until they left Yanzhou and the group entered the Sili area, they only encountered one volley. Obviously, the preparations for this volley were not done well, and before Shuang'er could make a move, the other party had been resolved, and only two of the Yang family's team were slightly injured.
Now that she has entered the division, Shuang'er finally breathed a sigh of relief and left the control of the Yanzhou branch, probably, Deng Zhan will not appear! Thinking of Deng Zhan's terrible place, she couldn't help but feel a little chilled!
Resting during the day and hurrying at night, Tian Fan can't adapt to it at all, running all night every night, cold and tired, he doesn't even have the strength to think about something. He couldn't know where he was, so Frost and his party naturally wouldn't tell him!
That night, a new moon hung in the sky, and in the hazy moonlight, a group of twenty people walked on horses. Horses are also creatures and can't run vigorously, so although the group was in a hurry, they didn't let the horses run wild!
It is a path between two hills, and even during the day it is rarely walked, except for the trees on both sides.
Yang Jian in front led eight people to open the way, each with a torch in his hand, ten people in the back, holding torches, and Tian Fan and Shuang'er in the middle. As before, the reins of the horse that Tian Fan rode were in the hands of Shuang'er, even if he had the slightest intention of escaping, it was impossible! It's been like this these days, the two of them are in the middle, surrounded by a large group of people in front of and behind, and Frost suddenly becomes mute, and when she asks her questions, she basically doesn't answer, nodding occasionally. Perhaps, she was wiped out by two volleys, right?
Boredom looking at the mottled shadows of the trees illuminated by the torches, feeling the slight cold wind, Tian Fan was speechless for a while! Hey, when is this kind of sinful day a head!
Maybe it's because of the Longtan Tiger's Den in Yanzhou, Shuang'er is in a very good mood, and she actually took the initiative to talk to Tian Fan!
"Mr. Tian, is the moonlight good today?"
Tian Fan was speechless for a while, this girl is talking to herself, just this topic? Why don't you say, "The moonlight is so bright, and the air is so fresh"?
"It's okay, the moon at the beginning of the month, it's already good to be so bright!"
Shuang'er blushed slightly, and the opening words of her chat were really not very good! Nodding, she hurriedly changed the subject, "I don't know if Mr. Tian has a preference?" ”
Tian Fan rolled his eyes and said, "What do I like?" You won't know the answer to this question? Didn't you contact Xin'er just to understand my preferences? ”
Shuang'er was surprised, and when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Tian Fan and asked in surprise, "Do you think I befriended Xin'er to understand you?" It was about an accident that went too far, and the girl's voice was a little sharp, so that Yang Jian, who was opening the way in front of her, looked back.
Hearing her tone, Tian Fan immediately understood that his guess might be incorrect, and hurriedly asked, "Then why did you contact Xin'er?" With her identity as Lu Bu's daughter, it won't make you fancy her among tens of millions of people, right? ”…,
Shuang'er couldn't help laughing, although her smile could not be seen in the black veil mask, Tian Fan could imagine that it should be extremely beautiful! Look at the temptation she trembles all over!
After laughing easily, she said: "Mr. Jiuwentian is very smart, and he has seen it today!" Hehe. ”
Why is the tone so awkward? Tian Fan was uncomfortable with her laughter, and hurriedly said: "My preference, hehe, I want to think about it!" Food, beauty, well, other than that, it seems to be gone! ”
Shuang'er was originally smiling, but after listening to him, she suddenly stopped laughing, and asked curiously, "Mr. Tian doesn't love money?" Don't love power? ”
Tian Fan shook his head and asked, "Why do you think I love money and power?" ”
Shuang'er shook her head and said, "If you don't love money, how could you invent spirits and soap and make a lot of money that has never been seen in the world?" If you don't love power, how can you take refuge in Uncle Liu Huang, as far as I know, now Mr. Liu Huang is there, although his official position is not obvious, but he is the most trusted person! Haven't you done so many things, improving farming, and improving seeds, just to ensure that your power is not affected? ”
Tian Fan was stunned for a while, and only said after a while: "I take refuge in the lord because I don't want to eat and wait for death, in fact, I don't have a great desire for power, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, I have narrow shoulders and can't bear many responsibilities!" Improving farming methods and seeds is just to save a few people from starving to death in the world! Although it can only be guaranteed that no one will starve to death in Xuzhou now, it can ...... One day, the world will be stable!
"As for the invention of spirits and soap, hehe, to be honest, when I invented spirits, I did want to make money, because at that time my family was only an upper-average family, and I was not very rich, if I didn't make some money, how could I be rich? Besides, when I am out of office, there are more things on the scene, if I don't make some money, will I go to corruption in the future? Besides, I still have a lot of ideas in my mind, how can I do it without money?
"The price of soap is indeed expensive, even the cheapest jasmine fragrance type costs 500 yuan a piece, the highest price ambergris type is as high as 100,000 yuan a piece, and the rest of the musk type is 50,000 yuan, orchid fragrance type 5,000 yuan, peony fragrance type 5,000 yuan, rose fragrance type 2,000 yuan, these are not ordinary people can afford to use, in this regard, I am also to make money. As for soap, I'm not really here to make money! The price of soap is about 50 yuan a piece in my Xuzhou, which is not expensive, and many families can afford it! Even if it is a poor family, you can buy a piece a year. Why should I book such a low price? Fifty dollars is just the price of a stone of grain, why don't I set two hundred, or even three hundred? Just because of bathing with soap, there is sterilization...... It has the effect of preventing diseases and can reduce the chance of people getting sick, so I would rather make less money and lower the price of soap!
"This is just the beginning, and in a few years, when I find a cheaper source of oil, the price of soap will come down!" This year I'm going to develop a cheap soap for about 100 yuan a piece! When the time comes, the civilian families in Xuzhou can also use it! ”
After that, he shook his head, "A hundred dollars a piece, it's still expensive, but it's a pity that the output is too small now, and it can only be like this!" ”
After listening to his words, Shuang'er seemed to be deeply emotional, and after a long time, she asked: "The price of soap should be reduced, because washing can make people less sick, Mr. has the world in mind, I understand!" But why should the price of soap be lowered? Is there a secret? ”
Tian Fan shook his head and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just think that if the people have daughters who get married, those women should be able to leave a better impression on their husband's family after bathing with soap!" ”
Shuang'er's face turned red, this Tian Fan, after a few words, he went down the three roads, what a talent! But after thinking about it, she looked at Tian Fan's clear eyes again, and suddenly, she understood that she had misunderstood Tian Fan! What father doesn't want his daughter to dress up beautifully when she gets married? And what husband doesn't want his wife to give himself a memory that will never be forgotten when he is newly married? …,
If he speaks from the heart, and I bind him, will he not be a sinner in the world? For the first time, Shuang'er had the slightest doubt about the rationality of this task that she had tried her best to achieve!
Neither of them spoke, and the group fell silent again, except for the sound of horses' hooves, the occasional crackling of torches, and the silence of the whole world!
After a while, Tian Fan said: "I've said so much, shouldn't you also say some of your information to me?" ”
Shuang'er was obviously stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then she spoke: "My name is Shuang'er, and my mother died in childbirth when I was born, so my father and I don't have a good relationship!" There is a grandfather, and an older brother. ”
With that, she stopped talking.
Tian Fan waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he asked, "It's over?" ”
Shuang'er nodded, and said very naturally: "Well, it's over, what else do you want to hear?" ”
Tian Fan was almost choked to death by her, okay, I wanted to understand something through her words, but when I said it, it didn't make any sense! The girl's actions are really leaky! It is estimated that she will not say anything if she asks again, and after a long time, Tian Fan asked: "There are no cats and dogs in your house?" ”
Shuang'er was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, a string of laughter spilled out of her mouth, and it was heard far away in the empty night sky!
Suddenly, Yang Jian shouted in front of him: "Stop!" There is a case, vigilance! ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they immediately urged the horses to surround Tian Fan and Shuang'er, turned over and dismounted, surrounded the horses as a wall, and drew their swords! Shuang'er also jumped off the horse in an instant and dragged Tian Fan down. Tian Fan almost fell into the mud, but he had to be lifted by Shuang'er! This series of actions can be completed in a few seconds, which can be called extremely fast!
Shuang'er let go of Tian Fan, and in an instant, she pulled out two short swords from her waist, and then asked, "Senior brother!" What's the situation? ”
Yang Jian said: "Senior sister, there are a few big trees in front of you, blocking the way!" ”
After hearing this, Shuang'er suddenly felt that her head was numb, could it be that she was ambushed again when she saw home?
Life is like this, the more afraid you are, the more you will come! With only two "crunch" and "boom" sounds, a large tree at the back of the team slowly fell to the ground, raising bursts of snow!
Immediately after, in the woods on the hills on both sides of the road, dozens of torches were lit, and at the same time a rough voice said: "Do it!" ”
With a "buzz", dozens of feather arrows shot over!
