Chapter 120: Crossing the Mountains and Rivers
The speed of this black horse running is far beyond Nanshan's imagination, she even has a trance feeling that she is still running in the streets and alleys of Meizhou City, the surrounding grass, trees, mountains and forests, at this moment in front of her eyes seem to have become one phantom after another, she can't distinguish the direction, and she can't see the surrounding landscape clearly.
Only the sound of the man's even breathing in her ears made her feel that she was still in this world, and she was not in some illusion.
But she still had some doubts in her heart, originally she thought that this "Ah Dong Daoyou" had cast some kind of witchcraft on her, after all, now her mind was too much attrition, if the power of witchcraft was more proficient, it would really be able to fool her.
It's just that no matter how powerful the power of witchcraft is, she will see through it for a long time, but what happened to the short duel she had at the city gate in the end?
Most of the witch Gu masters use a kind of mind control technique, which is not high-level, and cannot cause substantial damage to people, unless it is a very high realm of witch Gu masters, and "A Dong Daoyou" made it clear before that he had just arrived in the realm of Yihua, so he would not be such a great person.
The general carrying the long knife at the gate of the city, as well as the black-clothed man on the left and right behind the general, are all real existences, although Nanshan still has some doubts in his heart, after thinking about it, he still dispelled some doubts about "A Dongyou".
The first thing she needs to think about now should be how to stop this crazy dark horse.
The oncoming wind was so strong that Nanshan would eat a mouthful of sand and dust in one mouth, and the sound of the leaves being rubbed by the night wind was constantly heard in the woods, and some unknown insects were "squeaking" happily among the rocks and trees.
The black horse and the two of them were like a black lightning bolt, instantly swept through the dense forest halfway up the mountain, and seeing that they were about to climb a high mountain again, Nanshan felt that the person behind him stretched out one hand to stabilize her waist, and the other hand grabbed the reins violently......
The horse neighed, and it couldn't stop for a while, so it had to turn around in place more than a dozen times in a row, which made Nanshan dizzy for a while.
"The forest is too deep from now on, so let's find a place to settle down first, and when the sun comes out, let's continue on our way." Araxia gently held the reins and tapped the horse's neck with the end of the rope, and the black horse seemed to be very human, and slowly walked under a towering tree.
"Hurry? You ......" Nanshan was finally able to speak, but she was speechless for a while, she didn't understand what Adong meant by "hurrying", "Where are you going?" No, I ...... Where are we going? ”
Nanshan seemed a little incoherent.
"Didn't you say earlier that there was an extremely important thing to do at Baisha Harbor?" Araxia turned over and dismounted first, but continued to let Nanshan sit on the horse, holding the reins with one hand, searching around, and then the bright moonlight wanted to find a slightly clean ground.
"White Sands Harbor?" Nanshan gradually recalled, as if he had mentioned a sentence or two to him, but it was all small talk, and he still remembered it?
"I'm going there, yes, but what about you? And thou shalt go with me? Nanshan wondered.
"Hmm, let's explain it to you like this......" A few thoughts flashed through Huang Xia's mind, and he immediately weaved a set of words: "I was originally sent here with Duan Zhong, the guard of Meizhou City, but Duan Zhong indulged in lust and acted passively, and he didn't have the posture of a guard guarding the border town. Monarch...... The king sent me to accompany the army, just because he wanted me to supervise and assist from the side, who ......knows?"
"You said too much, you said something that made that General Duan not very happy, so he was placed under house arrest in the dark room, right?" Nanshan answered the call while holding down the horse's head with his hand, took his leg to the side very neatly, and jumped off the horse.
She chuckled in her heart, how could this reason sound so familiar? Oh, by the way, Zhu Yunfeng's fool also played such a role once in order to let her and Zhang Yingying escape to Meizhou City.
Nanshan knew that Huang Xia was making nonsense, but he couldn't find any verbal flaws for a while, so he smiled, with a natural expression on his face, and it didn't look like he had seen through his lies at all.
"So, I heard that the king is in Baisha Harbor, waiting to conclude a covenant with the Qingzhiyue King to stop the war, so I naturally want to go over and explain everything to the king."
"Shall we go on horseback?" Nanshan looked at the black steed that was more than a head taller than her, and shook his head reluctantly: "No, this horse is too eye-catching, if you go to Baisha Port by land, I'm afraid the next level will not be easy......"
"This ......" Araxia put his fist to his lips, as if he was in deep thought, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Is there any better way for Miss Anan?" ”
In fact, he was confident, even if the two of them rode this horse on the road, the embarrassing things that Nanshan imagined would never happen, and even at the speed of ink, even if someone found something unusual and wanted to catch up and question, it was almost impossible.
Ink is the name of Araxia's high-headed horse, which was not born in the army, nor was it a high-class commodity in the hands of high-ranking horse dealers, but a foal that Araxia rescued from the claws of a tiger-shaped demon beast three years ago.
At that time it looked much thinner than a normal foal, and when Araxia saw that it was quite spiritual, he often took it with him, but after a year it grew rapidly, gradually outpacing all the horses in the stable, and its four hooves were as strong as pillars, and when it ran, its black mane flew as if it were about to rise into the air.
Nanshan did not answer Araxia's words, but walked around to the front of Shui Mo, and gently knocked on its head with his hand.
Ink looked a little impatient, and a large fiery snort erupted from his nostrils, with an unpleasant smell of beasts.
"What is this doing, Miss Anan?"
"It's nothing, I want to see what its head is made of......" Nanshan stretched out his finger again, and tapped Ink's forehead heavily, Ink was really annoyed this time, tilting his head and wanting to bite it hard with his teeth.
Of course, Nanshan shrewd back smartly and said with a smile: "Hey, it's interesting, there's nothing special about it, but ...... before." How could it break through the hard gates? ”
Nanshan's words sounded like asking herself, and as if she was asking a question, she raised her eyes to look at Araxia, blinking her eyes, as if expecting Araxia to give him a reasonable explanation.
Edit, you continue to weave, anyway, if you talk too much and make a mistake, you can always grab a pigtail or two for me, right? When the time comes, you are not afraid that you will not be able to find out your true identity...... Nanshan thought so, his face was already full of harmless smiling expressions of humans and animals.
"This horse ......" Araxia also walked to the horse's side and gently stroked the dark horse's deep mane, "It's the king's mount." ”
"Huh?" Nanshan didn't expect this person's answer to be so straightforward, and hurriedly asked: "Then listen to what you mean, you and the Eastern Xia Emperor are very close?" ”
"That's nature."
Thinking about it carefully, Nanshan felt that there was no flaw, in connection with what he said before, he was sent to Meizhou City with Duan Zhong, for one of the most important fortresses in the north, Emperor Dongxia refused to relax, and it was reasonable to want to send a cronie to participate in the garrison.
Nanshan pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Why don't you ask, who am I?" ”
"Huh?" Huang Xia turned his head, but he only stayed on Nanshan's dirty cheeks for a moment, and said lightly: "Ah Dong only needs to know that Miss Anan is the life-saving benefactor below, so it is enough." ”
It's as simple as that? Nanshan frowned, tried to suppress the urge to break the casserole and ask to the end, and changed the subject: "In short, if you want to ride a horse, you will ride alone, and when I get to Ningjiang Port, I will go to take a boat, and if I go downstream, I think it will be a little faster." ”
Ningjiang Port is a port in the southeast of Meizhou, close to a tributary of the river, there are not many ships, many large ships transporting salt and coal generally do not choose to sail into the tributary, usually in some large ports to divide the goods, the goods are transported directly by land.
In a port town like this, where cargo ships rarely come and go, passenger ships only run every three days, and Nanshan now only hopes that the tickets for that ship are not too tight.
"This ......" Huang Xia's hand stroking the black horse stiffened slightly, he didn't expect Nanshan to choose to take the waterway, and it was from a small remote port like Ningjiang Port.
"So, you take your Yangguan Road, I'll cross my single-plank bridge, ah no, I'll take my canoe, let's separate."
Nanshan grinned and patted the black horse's head, flicked his arm and walked deeper into the dense forest.
It wasn't even a few steps before she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her at a constant pace, and the sound of a slightly idle footstep.
The man said, "Miss Anan, don't you want to know the origin of this horse?" Let me tell you? ”
"Ahem......" Nanshan paused, thinking where is this? When did she show curiosity about his horse?
But the night wind blows the dark forest, and the moon, as the only source of light, seems to be hidden by the clouds, and as the clouds turn, the mountains are gradually covered with miasma, and there are a few screams of beasts in the depths of the forest, Nanshan looked back at the tall black horse, the horse is leisurely, but it does not show the slightest timidity.
"Is there any allusion to this horse?" Nanshan stood in place, waiting for the barren summer to lead the horse to approach slowly, her mind has not yet recovered completely, and the hurry is urgent, maybe the two of them walking together at night is the best policy, after all, the divine horse around the Emperor of Dongxia can always help deter and deter some mountain beasts.
"The king said, this is Ryoma."
When Araxia said this, Nanshan seemed to see a little pride and pride in the row of teeth that the black horse followed closely.
