After finishing the conversation with the Yan family brothers and sisters, Xu Rui had basically wiped out the situation of the caravan and the eight hundred miles of Hanhai, and the harvest was even greater than he imagined.

After saying goodbye to the two, he walked towards the corner where Princess Qixia landed contentedly, after all, dragging the family with a mouth, it is not good to really sleep with the Yan family brothers and sisters, and if they really sleep next to the Yan family brothers and sisters, how can Boss Pang and them have a chance?

As soon as he turned a corner and left the sight of the Yan family's brothers and sisters, Qi Hong suddenly sneaked out from behind the carriage.

In fact, Xu Rui knew early on that he was hiding there, in the quiet Gobi, and his heartbeat was as loud as a drum in his ears to Xu Rui.

"Brother Xu!"

Qi Hong called softly.

"Ahh

Xu Rui pretended to be startled, and was about to shout, Qi Hong hurriedly covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "It's me, it's me!" ”

Xu Rui seemed to hear his voice, and gradually quieted down, but he still looked frightened.

Seeing that Xu Rui was no longer shouting, Qi Hong gently let go of his hand, Xu Rui looked left and right, and lowered his voice: "Brother Qi, what are you doing so sneakily?" ”

Qi Hong glanced at the Yan family brothers and sisters, handed Xu Rui a water bag, and whispered, "The big shopkeeper specially took care of you." ”

"It's ......"

Xu Ruihu took the water bag suspiciously, and said in surprise: "This is water?!" ”

Qi Hong smiled: "Now you know why I'm sneaky, right?" The big shopkeeper and you hit it off at first sight, and see that your husband and wife are pitiful, so I will give you more water in private, don't make a noise, if someone else finds out, not only the water is not, but the big shopkeeper is also difficult to do, understand? ”

"Ah, thank you, thank you! The kindness of the big shopkeeper and Brother Qi, I Xu must remember it in my heart! ”

Xu Rui put the water bag into his arms with a look of surprise and thanked Qi Hong again and again.

Qi Hong waved his hand and said: "Everyone is a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, meeting is fate, maybe you will become a big official in the future, and I and the big shopkeeper will still ask you!" ”

When Xu Rui heard this, he naturally patted his chest and made a wish and curse, but he was very sincere when he coaxed the ghost.

Qi Hong smiled when she heard this, but she was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so she didn't dare to stay longer, and said goodbye to Xu Rui with satisfaction, and as soon as he left, Xu Rui sneered, took out a water bag and glanced at it, shook her head, and continued to walk towards Princess Qixia.

In the corner of the camp, Princess Qixia leaned on a cart and pretended to sleep, and suddenly opened her eyes when she heard Xu Rui coming back.

"Didn't sleep?"

Xu Rui asked softly.

Princess Qixia shook her head, picked up the cup on the ground and handed it to Xu Rui: "Drink some." ”

Xu Rui was stunned: "Didn't I drink it just now......"

As soon as the words came out, Xu Rui saw Princess Qixia looking at him with a smile, but she didn't speak, and suddenly understood that her trick had already been seen through by her.

"You know everything?"

Xu Rui asked in disbelief.

Princess Qixia nodded, and sent the cup full of water to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui sat down lightly and took out two water bags in his arms, one was the bulging one he had before, and the other was given to him by Qi Hong.

Qi Hong's water bag naturally didn't dare to drink it, who knows what was mixed in it, and his own water bag, Xu Rui opened the stopper, and poured out a handful of yellow sand from it, where is there half a drop of water?

Xu Rui poured all the water he had into Princess Qixia's water bag before, in order to let her drink water with peace of mind, he filled the water bag with yellow sand, and every time she coaxed Princess Qixia to drink water, she used the water bag filled with yellow sand to pretend that she also drank water.

It's just that Princess Qixia Bingxue is smart, how could she not know Xu Rui's tricks? It's just that he was moved in his heart, and he took into account Xu Rui's face, and he didn't want to expose it, so he secretly coaxed Xu Rui to drink his own water.

"Drink."

Princess Qixia handed the water cup to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui took the water glass, thought for a while, and said, "One and a half of us?" ”

Princess Qixia shook her head: "This is yours, I have to watch you drink it to feel at ease." ”

Xu Rui heard that there was a warm current in his heart, he was indeed so thirsty that he didn't drink water for days, this kind of day was really difficult, so he simply drank the water in the cup in one gulp.

Princess Qixia nodded happily, gently leaned on Xu Rui's shoulder, and said softly, "Did you ask something?" ”

Xu Rui put down the water glass, and his face gradually became serious: "I'm afraid we have to go to New Territories City." ”

Princess Qixia nodded, gently leaned on Xu Rui's shoulder and said, "You can go wherever you say." ”

Xu Rui gently scratched her nose and said dotingly: "I have to go, but in order to make you suffer less, I plan to take a gust of winter wind." ”

Princess Qixia smiled: "What bad idea do you have?" ”

Xu Rui said: "Look at this dark and windy night, isn't it a good season to kill people and set fires?" ”

Princess Qixia pouted: "People are kind enough to take you in, but you always have bad intentions." ”

Xu Rui picked up the half pot of water that Qi Hong gave him and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "The road was chosen by themselves." ”

"When are you going?"

Princess Qixia asked softly.

Xu Rui looked at the crescent moon above his head and said, "You rest for a while, and then set off when everyone sleeps." ”

Half an hour later, Xu Rui sneaked out of the camp with Princess Qixia unconsciously, came to a high slope, and lit more than a dozen fires with thatch and dry firewood collected nearby.

In the vast Gobi in the dark, these fires born in high places are like brilliant fireworks, which is quite romantic.

"Is it pretty?"

Xu Rui Xu Rui sat under Gao Po with Princess Qixia in his arms, admiring his masterpiece.

Princess Qixia nodded with a flushed face, and pointed to the fire excitedly: "You should have a special intention when you arrange the fire in this pattern, right?" ”

Xu Rui nodded and said, "That's another kind of text, read it vertically, that's what I mean." ”

"And what about the ghost talismans in the back?"

Princess Qixia asked.

Xu Rui smiled: "I won't tell you!" ”

Princess Qixia pouted, gently twisting the soft flesh on Xu Rui's waist to express her dissatisfaction, but her heart was extremely warm.

If someone were to stand down the hill like them, they would see more than a dozen bonfires lined up in the night with a big "I LOVE YOU!" ”

More than ten miles away, the sound of "rumbling" horses' hooves was like a tide, and the dark horse team slowly moved forward under the night, with hundreds of people.

"Damn, the fat meat is eaten by the earth tigers, Lao Tzu still has to come to give them a lookout, and more than a hundred miles will enter the territory of the New Territories City, how can there be a fat sheep stupid enough to wait for us to eat?"

In the center of the procession, a man in his mid-forties with a bearded face scolded and struck his horse forward.

"Big boss, it's not easy for the brothers to come out, if you don't catch something, I'm afraid that you will be laughed at by the Dihu gang again, why don't I take a few more brothers to investigate?"

A one-eyed man beside him persuaded him.

The big boss snorted coldly: "What to check?" In this broken place, a bird can fade out, and besides, the moonlight is unknown tonight, and what can you see in the dark? Even if there is a caravan, can you still light a fire and wait for us to go?

The total scoop is really, and there are still safe lines near New Territories City that don't allow you to rob it, why don't you even rob it during the day, so that the brothers have become owls that come out day and night, who to reason with? ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, so he simply grabbed the reins of the horse and said loudly: "Pilot! Stop for me, the brothers have been busy for more than half a month, and they will rest for one night today, and they can't find the fat sheep anyway, so they simply don't look for it! ”

The one-eyed man opened his mouth, but when he saw that the big boss was angry, he couldn't persuade him again, so he had to shut up.

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, there seems to be a fire over there!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone hurriedly followed the man's finger, only to see that there was indeed a looming fire in the southwest direction.

"It's a bonfire, there's a caravan, and it looks like it's not small!"

The one-eyed man squinted for a moment and shouted excitedly.

"Damn, is there really a fat sheep who are not afraid of death?"

The big boss muttered, turned his horse's head, and was about to beckon his brothers to run to a place where there was fire, when suddenly a loud whistle came from nearby.

"Everyone, there is a business under the order, I wonder if you are interested?"

A playful and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded around everyone, and when everyone looked back, they saw a figure standing alone on the sand dune, with his back to the moonlight, and a shadow on his body, it was Xu Rui with his face covered.

Xu Rui appeared, but no one noticed it in advance, and the horse bandits were suddenly shocked, and without any order, they immediately urged the war horse under their crotch to rush towards him.
