The city in the west was much hotter than the city of Kyoto, and Zheng Wan followed Zheng Shengdong for five days without stopping, and the horses were paralyzed several times.

The whole earth was steaming hot, sweat was constantly pouring out, and this kind of day rush was a kind of torture for everyone.

There was a pantry shop on the side of the road, "Stop, rest." Zheng Shengdong waved the whip in his hand, and the group stopped moving forward and dismounted neatly. The little man Ma Yi hurriedly fed the horses grass and drank water. Zheng Wan sat at a separate table with Zheng Shengdong.

"Father-in-law, how long are we still away from Xiping?" Zheng Wan's delicate face was full of anxiety.

"One more day's drive should be there." Zheng Shengdong is a kind-looking person, always with a hint of a smile, but whoever wants to see him kill the enemy on the battlefield will not look at him so simply. That's why he is nicknamed the Smiling Tiger, a simple and crude title.

"That's good, the sooner we get there, the better."

After a while, a little beggar appeared in front of everyone. "Give me something to eat." The little beggar wiped his already dirty face, his mosquito-like voice, and looked at the resting table next to him with restless eyes.

"Fuck off." A man with a cheeky face kicked the little beggar away with one leg. The little beggar rolled to the ground, and the sand and gravel scratched his skin. The little beggar held back tears and pursed his lips.

Zheng Wan was taken aback and looked at the man dissatisfied.

"What are you looking at?" The beard moved as he spoke. There was a fierceness in his eyes.

"Kid, there's something to eat. Take it. Zheng Shengdong beckoned to the little beggar who fell to the ground.

"Thank you." The little beggar propped himself up with tears in his eyes, walked up to Zheng Shengdong tremblingly, stretched out his dirty hand to take the dry food, and devoured it.

Zheng Wan looked at the little beggar softly, it really looked like an autumn beggar when she was a child.

"Hmph." The cheeky man sneered disdainfully.

Zheng Wan and Zheng Shengdong didn't pay attention to it in the spirit of not causing trouble. Just calmly sipping tea. Zheng Wan poured another cup for the little beggar.

"Rest enough, let's go." Zheng Shengdong put down the teacup and motioned to everyone.

"Slow down." The bearded men stood up together, shaking their shoulders, "Leave the horse behind." ”

As soon as the cheeky man saw the horses of Zheng Wan and his party, he couldn't hide the greed in his eyes. Horses are very precious, especially at the border, ordinary horses can have fifty taels of silver, not to mention the large Tuguhun horses controlled by Zheng Wan and these people, this kind of horse has a well-proportioned body structure, long and agile ears, deep and broad chest, long back and short and straight waist, joints and tendons of limbs, strong development, and beautiful coat color. More than 100 taels.

encountered a robbery, Zheng Wan snorted coldly in her heart. Zheng Shengdong looked at the man with a smile on his cheeks, his voice was calm, the only thing that could see that he was in a bad mood was the slightly curved corners of his mouth, although sometimes he also had such a smiling expression, but Zheng Wan just knew that he was in a bad mood this time.

"Brother Tai, it is fate for you and me to meet, why bother to be boring." Zheng Shengdong's voice was still gentle.

The cheeked man glanced at a few people around him, and more than a dozen people surrounded him.

Zheng Wan stretched out her hand and pulled the little beggar not far away over and hid her behind her, "Father-in-law." He glanced at Zheng Shengdong.

"That kid has long eyebrows and beautiful eyes, although he is a man, but he is a little more beautiful than Xiaohong in Yihong Courtyard, wait for the eldest brother to play." A lean man with a thief's eyebrows and rat eyes flattered the cheeked man.

Zheng Wan's face turned blue, "Shameless! A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Looks like you're not going to let us go." Zheng Shengdong's voice was still calm, as if he was talking about the conversation that he had eaten.

"Brothers, come on." The bearded man picked up the big knife on the table and swung it straight over.

The guards around Zheng Shengdong drew their swords and faced each other, this time they brought Zheng Jiajun who had experienced the battlefield, and these reckless comparisons were really more than enough, several guards protected Zheng Shengdong, Zheng Wan and them, all of them had a fine light in their eyes. The man with cheeks was slashed several times in a row, blood flowed, he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran, "No need to chase." Zheng Shengdong responded by looking at his men.

"Father-in-law." Zheng Wan shouted expressionlessly.

"Don't delay for this kind of thing, we have to hurry up and get to Xiping."

"Yes." Zheng Wan took out her purse. "Kid, we're leaving, I'll give you some silver taels."

"You're going to Xiping?" The little beggar's eyes were innocent.

"Yes."

The little beggar hesitated, "Then are you from the government?" In the little beggar's heart, Zheng Wan and his party were well-dressed, superb in martial arts, and had such good horses. It must be an official eunuch's family.

"What? Are you looking for someone from the government? Zheng Wan leaned down and gently touched the little beggar's head.

The little beggar suddenly had tears in his eyes, his mouth was deflated, and the appearance of wanting to cry and enduring it was extremely distressing.

"Shouyun, it's time for us to go." Zheng Shengdong pulled the horse and jumped up.

"Wait. You save Brother Xue Lin. The little beggar shouted.

Zheng Wan chuckled in her heart, Xue Lin? It can't be that person, frowning slightly.

"Kid, we still have important matters," Zheng Shengdong urged Zheng Wan.

Zheng Wan took a deep look at the little beggar and turned over on the horse.

"Brother Xue Lin is going to save a general." The words of the little beggar struck the hearts of everyone like a thunderclap. Zheng Wan took a fancy to Zheng Shengdong on the side.

The little beggar ran in front of Zheng Shengdong's horse, and raised his head strongly, "Brother Xue Lin said that there is a very important general who was robbed by Liang Chu's people, and he is a person who wants to blackmail Daqin, but they don't want Li Yunzhi to get this credit, so they are going to take people to Xiliang City, the capital of Liang Chu, they take a big living person, the action will not be very fast, it must be a carriage trip, then in this case, there is a ten day journey from Xiliang City, you can take advantage of this time to rescue the general, he said that he followed, let me go to report the news, but not in Xiping, Because there were Liang Chu's spies inside, I found here, but I was a beggar, and the door of the government office would not let me in, and I wandered for several days. But I couldn't see a single official. The little beggar looked at Zheng Shengdong fixedly, his eyes full of hope.

Zheng Shengdong lowered his head and thought for a moment, "What are the credentials?" ”

"What are the credentials? Oh, Brother Xue Lin gave me a sachet that was dropped by the general. There is an embroidered word on it by Miss Zheng Jiasan. With that, he took out a dirty, jet-black sachet from his bosom.

Zheng Wan got off the horse and took it, and looked carefully, a graceful word was indeed given to Zheng Pingxin by her, and it seems that nine times out of ten it is him. Turning to Zheng Shengdong, "Father-in-law, this sachet is indeed my cousin's. ”

Zheng Shengdong pulled the horse and didn't show much.

"Father, now we would rather believe what we have than what we don't."

"Xiao B." Zheng Shengdong motioned to a handsome man next to him, and the man named Xiao Yi threw out a long whip and rolled up the little beggar, and the little beggar was instantly taken to the horse. "Let's go."

Zheng Wan got on the horse and followed, dusty.
