Chapter 58: Big News
Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan looked fixedly, only to see the end of the trail in front of them, and a group of cattle came out in a moment, these cattle were fifty or sixty heads, the cow hair on the body was dense and long, and the two horns were bent and long to both sides, but it was a group of rhinos, which were almost the same as the Tibetan yaks, they were all majestic, covered in black hair, and they were good at surviving at high altitudes, with long and continuous calls. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the beast roar that the two of them heard just now was caused by this group of rhinos.
I saw that behind this group of rhinos, there was also a local old man in his fifties with a dark face, who held a long whip in his hand, followed the herd leisurely, and occasionally used a long whip to slightly drive the rhinos that had deviated from the herd back again.
Xie Guhong saw someone, glanced at Gongsun Lan, and then waited for the other party to pass by the side of the road, let go of the herd, and then stopped the old man, after greeting, Xie Guhong said: "I don't know if the old man has seen a soldier near Zuo?" ”
This old man has lived here all the year round, so although he can roughly understand Xie Guhong's words, he said a string of dialects and vernaculars in his mouth, and finally waved his hand and shook his head again.
In the previous string of local words, Xie Guhong naturally didn't know what he said, but when he saw the other party's gesture, he guessed in his heart that the other party didn't know either, so he said, "Thank you." As he spoke, he made a light gesture. The old man nodded, smiled at the two of them, and continued to drive the cattle away leisurely.
Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan, the two glanced at each other, and Gongsun Lan said: "There are more than 10,000 people, not to mention an army of 100,000, I can't say that I can't inquire about a few people, and I know." ”
Xie Guhong shook his head and said, "What do you think of the Everest in the Himalayas?" He pointed forward with his hand.
Gongsun Lan looked sideways again, only to see that the peak was surrounded by four peaks that were also towering into the clouds, but this peak pointed out by Xie Guhong could hardly see the top at a glance, even if he watched it from a distant position, it was also grandiose, and he only felt that some of the famous rivers and mountains he had seen before were simply unreasonable compared with this peak, so he said: "Grounded to the sky, towering into the galaxy." ”
Xie Guhong nodded and said: "This peak, the full name is Everest, it is a mountain peak in the Himalayas, and the Himalayas can be described as unmatched, full of 100,000 horses, even if there are several times more people and horses, it may not be able to fill one of the larger valleys." ”
Gongsun Lan couldn't help but nod and said, "Although I have heard about it before, when I see it today, I know that hearing is false, and seeing is believing." ”
Xie Guhong said: "What you just said is also reasonable, although the Himalayas are very large, but after all, there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, food, clothing, and so on, all of which need to be transported non-stop like flowing water, that is, farming on the spot, maybe a large amount of arable land, so it is impossible to say that it can be completely hidden." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Why don't we pay a lot of money and let the locals help us search." ”
Xie Guhong said: "I'm afraid that these people will be discovered by the soldiers and horses in the army, and they will be transferred at that time." ”
Gongsun Lan said with a smile: "A wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, even if he discovers, what can he do?" He turned to his, we just need to keep an eye on him first, with your and my martial arts, it is naturally not possible to attack the military camp of 100,000 troops head-on, but if you are not caught by the other party, it will be easy. ”
Xie Guhong was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "Yes, this time I thought things too complicated, with my own martial arts, after staring at the other party, what can I do if the other party's army finds out?" Can you still catch yourself? Apparently not! Since it can't, it is a well-trained army, and after all, it is 100,000 horses, and compared with the flexibility of the two of them, it is naturally 108,000 miles behind, no matter what, it is impossible to resist the other party. ”
Thinking about this matter, Xie Guhong shook his head with a smile and said, "Yes, I thought badly, so I will do as you say." Later, two men stopped a herdsman and asked him for directions to a nearby town. Speed up your journey and head east.
After walking for about 50 miles, the two crossed a hillside, and a market appeared in front of them, which was not big or too small, and there were eight or nine streets in total, and there were quite a few people, all of whom were local people.
Xie Guhong and the two immediately walked into it and found a head dealer, the name of this head dealer sounds very terrible, but in fact, it is not a person who buys and sells heads, in the words of Xie Guhong's origin world, that is, a businessman who does intermediary trading. Then he promised a lot of money, and paid a gold ingot on the spot as a deposit, and sent more people in installments to find out whether there were any soldiers around, or a large convoy of grain and grass. After the deed is done, there are many rewards.
The head trafficker got the sweetness, so he naturally did his best, and immediately began to gather people, and also hired a lot of local people to help the two of them investigate. And he led Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan to an inn.
This inn is located at the border, and naturally the customers are extremely scarce, and the conditions are limited, according to the words of the head peddler: "The two are nobles of the Celestial Empire, and they really should not live in this humble place." But this Sima Inn is the only inn within a radius of 100 miles, and it can only wronged two nobles. ”
Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan were martial arts people, and they didn't pay so much attention to it, so they let the head traffickers prepare to eat and drink, so they stayed.
For a few days, there was no news, and Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan couldn't go out, for fear of missing the news. Therefore, you can only rest in the inn. At the end of the fifth day, Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan were tired of it, when they heard the voice of the head trafficker outside, and said, "Nobleman, there is news." ”
followed by a series of footsteps, Xie Guhong looked at Gongsun Lan's pretty face, got up and opened the door, only to see the head trafficker and a man dressed locally just ran to the door.
Xie Guhong said: "What news?" ”
With a smile on his face, the trafficker said, "Your Excellency, after receiving my news, Na Rihe searched for a few days, and today finally turned around and found the soldier who your noble man brought our attention to. ”
Xie Guhong looked at this local man, his hair was unkempt, his face was dark, and his clothes were half-new, but there was dust on it, and he knew that it must be caused by a hurry. But he still asked, "Tell me more." ”
The head trafficker feels this kind of business all the year round, and naturally understands what the other party means, so he turns his head and says: "Nari, snort, no!" (To be continued.) )
