Chapter 315: Uninvited
"It's not easy for Xiping Town to have such a rain."
Song Sheng rode a horse and followed Jiang Wan unhurriedly, always in a slightly impatient mood, but much calmer in such a night.
It had just rained, and the pools dug in front of every house in Xiping Town were rarely collected and covered with light gray wooden covers.
Song Sheng actually didn't expect that Yang Yuying would really not stop Jiang Wan.
In his early years, when he walked the rivers and lakes under a pseudonym, he was always known for his wisdom, especially good at seeing people, but he looked away from Miss Cuiling.
I remember the first time I saw her, he only felt that Cuiling was rare and innocent, and later found out that she was actually very smart, not only outstanding in learning, but also quite characterful.
Later, she was suspected of being a woman from Linglingtang.
Song Sheng believes a little.
Outcome......
That is actually a big man who can command the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, can escort the immortals, and has his hands and eyes to the sky.
He once felt that Jiang Wan was going to be unlucky.
But Jiang Wan smoothly got out of the gale wine shop.
"Do you have to go to Minggu?"
Song Sheng looked sideways at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan's whole person shrunk in the cloak, her beautiful face was like a flower that had lost water, and she no longer had the proud appearance she had at the beginning.
ββ¦β¦ Go home. β
"No!"
Jiang Wan gritted her teeth.
She's already in the desert, and she's got an explanation for herself.
Immediately bumped violently, Jiang Wan felt that her head was a little heavy and tired. In a daze, she seemed to be back to her childhood.
Her mother held her and told her stories, and most of the time Minggu was present in the stories.
"A lot of people don't know that it actually grows in the desert, and it's a thorny flower in the desert."
"Although it is in the desert, it is full of greenery, full of flowers, and countless jewels are dotted on the ground like gravel......"
Jiang Wan is not short of jewelry, nor is it rare to find those things.
But she longed for that place.
That's hers.
She spent a full year and a half memorizing the map, another three years studying the map, and finally burned the map.
Now, the only map of Minggu is herself.
"I don't believe it, without my map, she can find Minggu!"
Jiang Wan just didn't like Cuiling. What does it mean to be innocent and naΓ―ve?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glare back at Song Sheng: "Are you still naΓ―ve?" Is it still pure? Look at the posture of the people! β
Song Sheng: "...... You're also very strategic. β
Bai Yifeng fell behind the two people, but his expression was slightly solemn, and suddenly he put his fingers to his lips and whistled.
After a while, there was a loud whistle in the distance.
"This is the third wave."
Bai Yifeng muttered.
When the words fell, I saw smoke and dust billowing on the yellow sand, twelve horses from far and near, led by a middle-aged man in his forties, and eleven people behind him, all dressed in purple.
When the middle-aged man saw Bai Yifeng, he clasped his fists and saluted: "Young master, Sun Zhen from Jiangnan Thunderbolt Hall also showed up just now, we are afraid that there will be trouble." β
Jiang Wan's eyes wandered, and she suddenly shouted loudly: "You guys, you guys, you know how to bully me, please have a long brain, a group of dragons have crossed the river from the Dafeng Wine Shop, and the disciples of the Demon Sect are the same as fighting rabbits, and people are also going to Minggu, no matter how big Aunt Ben's ability is, can she keep things in front of others?" β
Song Sheng: "......"
After Jiang Wan finished speaking, he greeted and galloped away.
Time seems to have become incredibly long.
The weather in the desert is strangely tight, freezing at night makes people's bones ache, and in the daytime, the mouth is hot and dry, and I can't wait to soak in the water tank for the rest of my life.
Song Sheng glanced at Bai Yifeng and smiled bitterly: "Young Master, I can't help you this time." β
Bai Yifeng was helpless: "Say less nonsense, it's better than expected." β
As soon as the news of Minggu came out, how many people paid attention to it, and there were countless people who had crooked thoughts.
He was ready for a bloody battle at the beginning.
If you don't want to kill a Cuiling girl halfway, Jiang Wan's two sentences will lead to trouble, and now there are fewer people following them!
"I don't know what's going on with Miss Cuiling."
"Do you still need to worry about other people? Who dares to provoke the forbidden army of the imperial court? Jiang Wan snorted, obviously still depressed, and her tone was weird.
As he spoke, the middle-aged man who was exploring the path in front of him waved his hands desperately.
Song Sheng looked up into the distance, and after a while, his eyes showed ecstasy: "It's an oasis!" β
The group had been running around in the desert for five days, all of them were gray-headed and dirty, not human-shaped, and at this time, seeing the camel herd and people in the distance, even the most honest Song Sheng couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Jiang Wan's spirits were greatly lifted, and her eyes were full of brilliance.
This is it!
She recalled every detail of the map in her mind, and finally corresponded, after this oasis, she would walk for two days at most, and if it went well, she would find a large lake.
Beyond the great lake, there are four thousand nine hundred and eighty-four poplar trees.
Passing through the poplar, the Ming Valley is in front of you.
Even Song Sheng unconsciously sped up.
The oasis was already visible to the naked eye, but looking at the oasis in the desert, it was really a dead horse, and they ran for most of the day, without stopping for a moment, before finally reaching it.
Jiang Wan straightened her waist suddenly, took the lead, and rushed straight to the house of the felt tent, bumped into it, grabbed a handful of pearls and threw it in front of the door: "Water, give me water!" β
In the tent sat two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls, both covered with colorful scarves, sitting on felt, their hands like flowers and butterflies, and the silk silk on their fingertips became brightly colored blankets.
When the two girls heard Jiang Wan's words, they raised their eyes and looked out, and one of them stood up and went to get a small pot of tea.
Jiang Wan rarely had no nonsense, after drinking the water, the group found a herdsman's house, ate a beautiful meal, slept for two hours, bathed and changed, and hurriedly continued on the road.
Bai Yifeng was a little surprised, and glanced at Song Sheng: "Your big rooster is fighting the sky and the earth, and it will stop today." β
Song Sheng: "......"
The allure of Minggu is indeed amazingly powerful.
A day later.
Jiang Wan once again stared blankly at the sheep and camels grazing on the oasis, as well as the dotted tents, and smashed her thigh with hatred.
"Actually went awry?!"
Another day later.
Jiang Wan saw the bonfire on the oasis for the third time, and the men, women, and children singing around the bonfire, fell off their horses and stumbled.
"How could I not find it? Why? β
She closed her eyes and remembered the map.
The map wasn't clear, but she had studied it for many years, and she had memorized every part of it in her heart.
"It's almost there!"
She has been running all the way, how hard it has been, how many hardships she has suffered, how many dangers she has encountered, and now she is just one foot away.
Jiang Wan stretched out her tongue and licked her dry lips, staring at the people passing by in the oasis with a distant gaze.
"I don't believe ......"
She thought for a moment, strode to the tent, and bent down to look at an old woman with a wrinkled face, "Mother-in-law, do you know that poplar forest on the edge of the oasis?" β
The old woman is taking the soles of her shoes, and the thick soles should be made with thick threads, and it takes all the strength of the whole body to move when wearing thick threads.
She was an old man who only cared about her work and turned a deaf ear to Jiang Wan.
"You're going to tell me something useful to me, and I'll give it to you."
She reached out and handed the pearl from her waist.
Each pearl is large enough to be round and shiny, and to shine brightly.
There happened to be two little teenagers next to him, and when he heard this, one of them smiled and said, "Sister, your beads are not good-looking, they are white, and my mother-in-law doesn't like them." β
The other said: "I don't know what forest you are talking about, but there are so many dead people outside our oasis that it is said that those wandering ghosts occupy a forest as their home, and no one can enter it, so you may break into the ghost forest." β
Jiang Wan frowned, ghosts? She was still to be asked, but when she turned her head, she was shocked.
She saw a huge car parked in front of a large tent not far away.
She looked very familiar with this car, especially the logo of the flying eagle on the body, she couldn't forget it even if she died.
"Cui Ling?"
Jiang Wan's eyebrows jumped, a fire appeared in the depths of her eyes, and her anger rose, "Damn, you actually followed me, and you want to be shameless, shameless!" β
She grabbed Song Sheng's hand and pinched it hard.
Song Sheng: "......"
The door of the sedan opened wide, Yang Yuying stood up and stretched her waist, and moved her shoulder blades.
Two red-faced girls in the tent held a huge fruit bowl and respectfully handed it over.
All kinds of fruits, colorful and green, those who don't know each other are piled up, Yang Yuying laughed, grabbed one and took a bite: "Sweet." β
As she spoke, she took another one and threw it to Ouyang Xue.
Ouyang Xue also ate silently, and said softly: "It's delicious." β
The people of the forbidden army and the soldiers of the Imperial City Division quickly set up camp and took care of everything in an orderly manner, but the general who was the leader suddenly felt a trace of hostility, turned his head and glared, and saw Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan was startled, took a step back, and retracted his gaze.
Song Sheng: "Hey! β
"What are you sighing for, I'll just say that they have a conspiracy, this is deliberately letting us go, so that it is convenient to track, no, they can't be cheapened!"
Jiang Wanqi snorted and turned around in place twice, and saw that the residents of those oases treated Yang Yuying and his party like VIPs, and his heart became even angrier, and after a while, he tried to calm down.
"I'm not leaving, I'm going to spend it with them and see how they follow me! Hum! β
"Uh, Miss Jiang." Bai Yifeng blinked, deliberately pretending to be very cautious, "They have ordered a house and water for the night, I'm afraid they will leave early tomorrow morning." β
Jiang Wan: "...... It's definitely a lie. β
But she still didn't fall asleep all night, the next day before dawn, Yang Yuying lay comfortably in the car, Haohao Tangtang's convoy set off, Jiang Wan didn't even bother to wash her face, quickly got up, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "Keep up!" β
Song Sheng and Bai Yifeng glanced at each other and smiled bitterly.
The look on Bai Yifeng's face gradually became much more serious: "The matter has come to this...... Listen to her. With Miss Jiang's temper, if she is not satisfied, she can only let her die, and the two of us can only sacrifice our lives to accompany each other for the sake of her father and mother. β
The desert was full of wind and dust, and the sand hurt her face, Jiang Wan felt that her waist and legs were not her own.
Look at the convoy in front of you again, the huge sedan chair was pulled by camels, Yang Yuying was sitting in it, Jiang Wan saw it, this morning they put ice basins, fruits, all kinds of roasted dried fruits, tea and goat milk snacks.
Jiang Wan has fine clothes and fine food on weekdays, and those cheap things are not rare at all, but in the long yellow sand, when she thinks of Cui Ling sitting in the car, the wind can't blow, the rain can't be drenched, eating fruits, drinking tea, but she has to be covered with wind and sand and dust, she feels more and more unbearable.
At this moment, the snow-white clothed immortal waved his hand slightly, and the ice crystals slowly fell and landed on the marching long team.
The chill even blew a little bit with the wind, and it was cool and pleasant.
Jiang Wan: "......"
In a short time, the poplar forest could be seen in the distance.
Jiang Wan's face darkened, and she said after a while: "My mother said that when the old sect leader was still alive, she said that she would give me Minggu, it was mine, why did they rob it?" Just by virtue of their martial arts? Do they have the support of the imperial court? β
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wan closed her eyes, "I can't get over it anyway, let's find a way!" β
Jiang Wan stopped talking and followed Yang Yuying's convoy all the way into the poplar forest.
As soon as he entered, Song Sheng frowned, slammed the reins, and stopped.
Bai Yifeng's face changed slightly: "What about people? β
There seemed to be fog ahead, and the convoy, which was already close at hand, disappeared in the fog.
Jiang Wan gritted her teeth and simply waved her whip: "Drive!" β
The three of them took the reinforcements of the Bai family, galloped all the way, walked for an unknown time, suddenly opened up, and after a long time, the shadow of the oasis appeared in front of them.
They are back on the oasis.
This time it was expected, Jiang Wan was not as angry as a few times, but as soon as she came in, her eyes wandered, looking around for the traces of Yang Yuying and others, but ...... No!
Song Sheng was stunned: "Could it be that they have entered the Ming Valley?" β
Jiang Wan instantly burst into flames: "How is it possible!" β
She exhaled, "I don't believe it yet." Bai Yifeng, you go find kerosene for me, the more the better. β
Bai Yifeng: "...... Impossible, dangerous! β
The fire burst into flames, and most of the sky was red.
Song Sheng arrived in a hurry, but he was still a step too late, and he was so angry that his heart and lungs were about to explode.
Bai Yifeng helped him and smiled bitterly: "Jiang Wan, this girl, sometimes it's really hard to explain, I don't know if she is really stupid or a fake fool." β
Who would have thought that she was so strong in action that she could do this under the vigilance of the two of them, and so quickly.
Jiang Wan pretended to continue arguing with them yesterday, and secretly falsely passed on orders to trick those who came to Bai Yifeng's aid to help.
and let her be deceived.
"Burn these trees, I don't believe it, we can't find Minggu."
Jiang Wan clasped her shoulders with her hands and sneered.
Bang!
The smile on Jiang Wan's face froze before it could be put away, and the flames in the woods actually began to move.
Countless fires were moving straight towards them.
Song Sheng's expression changed greatly, he grabbed Jiang Wan suddenly, grabbed Bai Yifeng, and rushed with all his strength.
But no matter how good a person's light skills are, how can they run through the wind and run...... Fire?
In an instant, his back was burned, and he clearly felt the threat of death.
"Extinguish!"
The next moment, suddenly a figure appeared in front of him, this man had bandages on both hands and arms, and seemed to have scars, but he rushed over in great stride, passed through them, stood behind them, blocked the path of the flames, raised his arms, made a gesture of protection, and shouted.
Song Sheng turned his head in astonishment, only to see the overwhelming fire rushing to this person's body, but he didn't even change his expression, his hands were pressed down flatly, the flames became smaller and smaller, and finally extinguished, only embers.
The man shook his hand before he looked back at them and said coldly, "Why are you following Cui Ling?" How can it be reasonable to set fire to people's homes without being invited? β
