Chapter 61: The White Elephant
Gongsun Lan didn't dare to get too close to Xie Guhong anymore, but there was nothing else to do, early the next morning, when Gongsun Lan and Xie Guhong were eating, they complained about what happened last night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Xie Guhong already knew when Gongsun Lan was approaching, but he had been pretending to be asleep, but at this time, the other party mentioned it, and he couldn't help but express it, so Zhengse said: "Your intentions are bad first, and I will fight back later, so why not?" ”
Gongsun Lan raised her eyebrows and said, "Master Xie has also learned that the wicked will sue first, obviously you are sleeping and snoring, it is too loud, I estimate that the military camps below can hear it, I just thought it was thunder." Although she said so, she also knew that Xie Guhong had a kind of kung fu, and when he gathered his qi, his chest was like thunder and anger, and as for the valley below, surrounded by mountains on three sides, the sound vibrated back and forth, and it would inevitably roar for a long time. However, Xie Guhong's "snoring" sound at night was actually not so loud, although it was cooing, it was much smaller than when he was really gathering his strength to attack. It didn't wait for it to reach the military array below, and then it dissipated without a trace.
Xie Guhong nodded with a smile and said, "Eat first, after eating, let's go back to the market." As he spoke, he opened his baggage again and looked at the barracks below, just in time for breakfast, so that the smoke of the misty cooking rose as well.
There was still a lot of food and drink left with them, but after Xie Guhong swallowed a mouthful of bacon, his eyes still looked in the direction of the barracks, and said, "After we finish eating, we can go back." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Okay, wait for me to go back and take a bath first." "They made a plan yesterday and came back every few days to see the last one. With their light skills, as long as they know the road, they can go back and forth in one day at most, which is much faster than riding a bull.
Xie Guhong quipped: "It's not easy to bathe in this place, although water is not as scarce as the desert, like the same weight of gold, but it's almost catching up with bronze." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Nonsense, there are a few wells next to the bazaar, I have seen them, and besides, you are so rich, it is not good to spend money to hire people and boil some bath water for me." ”
Xie Guhong squinted at her and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I want to wash it too, and when I finish washing, the water won't pour, you can just go in and wash it." ”
After eating and pulling eggs, Xie Guhong did not waste the rest of the food and drink, put it directly in the bag, and said, "Let's go, let's go back." "I hit that again with my eyes, the barracks under the valley.
It's just that at this time, I don't know what's going on, but I saw that the gate of the barracks at the other end of the valley opened, and out of it came two sentry men, and an officer on horseback in the middle, although the distance was not close, and it was not clear to see, but he could also know that the other party was not wearing armor. The group of men and horses left the gate of the barracks, and stood in a line on the left and right, and the official on the horse also stopped his horse, as if he was lining up to greet someone.
Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan glanced at each other, and the latter said, "Shall we go?" ”
Xie Guhong said: "Let's take a look for the time being." ”
After the two men finished speaking, they stopped talking, but just looked at the two sentry horses in the distance, but after the two teams of men and horses stood on their own sides, they stopped moving, if it weren't for the occasional movement of the horses picked up by the official, they would have thought that they had been immobilized.
After a long time, there was no movement, and Gongsun Lan said: "I don't know anything about the military, do you know what they are doing?" ”
Xie Guhong said: "Just like you said, there is no difference, there must be something important waiting for." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Then wait a little longer." ”
This time I was not in a hurry to go back, so when it was almost noon, Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan began to eat and drink again, this time they almost finished eating the food they brought, but there was still most of the water left, Gongsun Lan said: "I don't know who it is, there is such a great prestige, so that the military horses of King Pingnan have been waiting for so long." ”
Xie Guhong said: "In this way, we are even more unmissable." ”
Not long after the two of them finished speaking, a few hiss faintly sounded in their ears, "Woo! This voice obviously came from the other side of the mountain col, and it was not easy to hear it when they reached their side, and it was followed by "Woo! "Woo" a few beastly chirps in succession.
Just look at the slightly flat ground of the col opposite, there are several very huge beasts, the giant beast is very heavy, the whole body is white, the two ears are like a fan, the nose is long, and the fangs are very long, but such a giant beast, such a terrifying fang, but people do not feel how terrible, step by step from the road developed by the col army, walked over. It turned out to be a very rare white elephant.
There is still a person sitting on this white elephant, the distance is too far, Xie Guhong and the two of them have enough eyesight, but they can't see it clearly, but they feel that this person is wearing big white clothes all over his body, and he is sitting on top of the white elephant steadily, as if no matter what kind of terrain the white elephant has walked, the person sitting on this side will not shake his body at all.
There were four healthy horses around the white elephant, and there were people sitting upright on the horse, each of these people was holding a long spear and holding it up, but looking at the situation, it seemed to be a guard of honor, not really a person who fought in a battle formation, because even if Xie Guhong and Gongsun Lan looked here, they could see that each of these people was wearing golden light, as if they were some kind of heavenly soldiers and generals painted in the temple. At the end there were two large carriages that seemed to be pulling something, each with a servant and a handlebar, which was not unusual.
The white elephant with the head came to the door of the barracks and stopped, the official on the horse had already dismounted, walked quickly to meet him, snuggled to the ground, and said a few words, the distance was too far, no matter how good the martial arts master was, he couldn't hear it. Then the white-robed man on the white elephant floated to the ground, nodded slowly, and said a few words, and then the official-looking man waved his hand to the barracks gate and made a gesture to invite in, and then the white elephant and several honor guard knights, and the two carriages behind him, also walked in with the white-robed man.
Seeing such a scene, Gongsun Lan couldn't help but wonder: "I don't know who the other party is." The elephant ......," she said, looking at Xie Guhong.
The latter nodded slowly and said, "Yes, if the situation here is really as we think, the team of people riding white elephants must be from Nepal." ”
Gongsun Lan said: "Do you have to wait any longer? After a few words, the group of outsiders had disappeared from the barracks.
Xie Guhong said: "What are you waiting for? Let's go back and rest for two days and come back to check it out. (To be continued.) )
