Chapter 22: Miss Helian on the Riverside
Shi Jiu suddenly heard a strange noise behind him, but it was the horse thief who had been disemboweled. Don't die for a while, and find a magic firework for communication. The horse thief is also a ruthless character, fighting for the last bit of vitality, and actually set off the alarm fireworks.
Shi Jiufei swept up and slashed into the air with a knife. After all, it was a step too slow, and the fireworks exploded into a colorful curtain in mid-air.
The horse thief stared at Shi Jiu fiercely with a hideous gaze, and a vengeful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth before he swallowed his last breath.
It seems that there should be more than one of these horse thieves, and there must be horse thieves who have seen this warning signal.
Shi Jiu searched the body of the horse thief, but found nothing useful. He tied the corpses to the horse's back with the robes of the horse thieves and stabbed them one by one in the buttocks. The horse was stabbed, and in pain, he ran out frantically. Shi Jiu saw that several horses were running in several directions with the dead corpses, and after a while, he couldn't see clearly from a distance, so he rode his horse and ran towards his horse team.
From a distance, I saw Chen Shao'an leading the two people under Chu Chongshan and rushing here. Chen Shao'an saw Shi Jiu coming back, and greeted him, "What happened just now? I saw someone send a summons fireworks?"
Shi Jiu told Chen Shao'an about meeting the horse thief detective.
Chen Shao'an frowned and said: "This horse thief is Redbeard's subordinate? This Red Beard is said to have annexed several horse thieves recently, and his power is getting bigger and bigger! This has not yet reached Guli River? The road ahead will only get harder and harder, and it won't be too peaceful. "
"Since the beginning of the year, no caravans have come to the grasslands, and these horse thieves do not dare to plunder the grassland herdsmen at will. So I've never looted anything? Come to think of it, this is also a cruel one!"
The two of them hurried as they talked, waiting to return to the horse team. Chu Chongshan also rushed over.
"What's going on? Could it be a horse thief?"
After knowing the matter, Chu Chongshan was also a little worried.
Chen Shao'an looked forward, "At our current travel speed, after walking for nearly two hours or so, we can almost see the Guli River." When the time comes, everyone should be more vigilant, these horse thieves will never give up!"
"But, in the meantime, will the horse thieves come over?"
Chu Chongshan asked.
"Where is it so fast? When they see the fireworks, they will continue to send out sentries to look around. Even if they find out about us, without knowing what we are doing, the horse thief will never do it immediately. But when the evening comes, it will be difficult to say? Maybe we will launch a feint to test how much strength we have! In fact, before the horse thief attacks, it is the hardest?"
Chen Shaoan replied.
He looked ahead again, and the Luo caravan loomed ahead. Shi Jiushun looked at him, and the two of them thought of something at the same time, and said almost in unison: "Let's speed up and catch up with the Luo clan caravan in front." "
Looking at each other, the tacit understanding between the two men for many years quickly understood each other's intentions.
Chen Shao'an nodded slightly, and said to Chu Chongshan: "Brother Chu, please tell everyone to speed up a little faster, and when they are close to the Luo family's caravan for half a mile, it is good to slow down the speed of travel." "
"The day before yesterday, Brother Chen was tired of being close to the Luo caravan. Why do you have to close the distance?"
"Brother Chu, not only do we have to get closer to the Luo caravan, but we also have to send someone to inform the Golden Sword King that the horse thief has been discovered. But don't say you've killed those horse thieves!"
Chu Chongshan wondered. "Could it be that you want the horse thieves to mistakenly think that our two groups are a caravan? Then the horse thieves saw that our team was huge, and they didn't dare to attack easily? Brother Chen, this is to take advantage of the power of the Luo Clan's trading house? Why don't you talk about killing the horse thieves?"
"Brother Chu guessed correctly, the horse bandit sentry has sent out a warning signal! After a while, they think that they will send more sentry agents, and sooner or later they will find the killed horse thief. By the time they find the carcass of the horse thief, they will know that there is a caravan nearby. Although we didn't have any goods on us, and they would have guessed what was in our wagon, we all knew that there were only two Miss Helian in the carriage. "
"But they have been horse thieves for many years, and they can guess what is in the cart just by looking at the rut marks left by our carriage. I'm afraid that they will think that we are carrying some small and valuable goods, you must know that the caravan entering the grassland does not carry large goods, so it must be bringing some rare treasures?
Even if they don't make such conjectures, even if they know that we don't really have much oil and water? But these horse thieves will be the first to pick the weak ones to kill in order to establish their prestige! And compared with Luo's Firm, of course we will be much weaker on the surface! Who won't pick the weak ones first? When the time comes, even some small horse thieves will be the first to attack us!"
"As for not telling them that we have killed someone, it is because with Redbeard's style of acting in the past few years, if he has not seen blood yet, he will let him go when he is in a good mood! But if he sees blood, his horse will be entangled with us day and night, and he will not die! Although these elites of the army led by Brother Chu are not afraid of them, if the horse thieves keep ptalking and fighting, it will greatly slow down our forward schedule!
If we tell the Luo caravan, I am afraid that they will protect themselves and pay the money to buy the road with the horse thief! The horse thieves couldn't figure out if we were a gang, and we didn't have any goods to escort. Most of us will mistakenly think that we are the guards of the queen of the palace, but seeing that there are many caravan guards, the general small group of horse bandits must not dare to move immediately.
In this way, it only needs to drag on for two or three days, and when the horse thieves have gathered enough men, they will soon enter the control area of the Khan Khan. At that time, we rode quickly into the interior of the grassland. Luo's caravan has a large cargo mule cart, they will definitely not be able to outrun us, and the horse thieves will not chase us when they see the fat meat of Luo's caravan, they will only deal with Luo's caravan.
After all, we just want to temporarily borrow the momentum of the Luo Clan's caravan! Shock the horse thieves first, so that they don't dare to fight with us first!"
Hearing this detailed explanation, Chu Chongshan couldn't help but nod his head and claimed yes. Suddenly, he remembered something, and couldn't help but say: "But just now, Brother Shi Jiu has already killed six horse thieves, and we have already made a grudge against these horse thieves first? What if the group of people from the Luo Clan Trading House meet with this group of horse thieves and find out what happened?"
"Shi Jiu has killed all the six horse thieves just now, and the rest of the horse thieves just found the corpses, how do they know that we killed them? The reason why everyone hurried away was to confuse the horse thieves' audio-visual judgment!"
Chen Shaoan smiled.
"They saw that the Luo caravan was outnumbered! The more people who killed them, the more they didn't dare to attack rashly! Even if they made it clear, we wouldn't admit it! Even if we started a war with the horse thieves, we would drag the Luo family merchant house into the water together! Hehe...... Then you will see how your brother drags them down...... Hey...... "
After listening to Chen Shao'an's analysis, Chu Chongshan secretly said in his heart that this Chen Shao'an was like a spring, and his calculations were perfect! If you offend him, you have to be very careful, it seems that this Luo family firm is indispensable to fight with horse thieves!
hurriedly ordered everyone to speed up their advance.
It was almost noon, and the horse team caught up with Luo's firm. The people in Luo's trading house also saw the communication fireworks, and listened to the information from Chu Chongshan, knowing that there was a horse thief's sentry nearby. As soon as he saw Chu Chongshan's team catching up and following the caravan, he also recognized it. After all, at this time, the more powerful and powerful the better, so no one laughed at it.
After walking through a gentle slope again, I heard someone in the Luo caravan in front of me shouting: "It's time to the Guli River!"
Sure enough, when I crossed this gentle slope, I saw a large river in the distance, winding and lying on the grassland.
This section of the riverbed is stable and flows gently. I saw that the water on the river was sparkling, and from time to time one or two big fish jumped out of the water and splashed a lot of water. On both sides of the river, the breeze is gentle, and there are many half-green red willows on the riverside, which is a good natural scenery.
When they arrived at the Guli River, the people of the Luo family firm picked a high post on the bank of the river and set up camp, and sent additional patrols.
Although they knew that there were already horse thieves, these mercenary guards did not pay much attention to it, and asked if there was a time when the guards did not encounter a horse thief? The soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it! What do you have to worry about? Sooner or later, it will come, and it is a big deal to fight! Therefore, there is no such tension in this camp as the enemy is now, and there are a few people who have fiddled with a few tools for wild fishing, preparing to catch some river fish to make fish soup. Most people take advantage of the time to prepare lunch and lie down on the grass to rest.
Chu Chongshan also ordered everyone to dismount and rest.
A few police guards were arranged to watch from a distance, and the rest of the people hurried to prepare lunch.
When Miss Helian heard about the Guli River, she lifted the curtains and saw the scenery outside.
I got bored in the car and thought about going to the river to play. After talking to my sister, I got out of the carriage and ran to the river alone to enjoy the beautiful and unique scenery of the Guli River.
Miss Helian did not get out of the car, but remained alone in the car. Miss Helian sat against the window, gently lifted the car curtain, and looked at the rippling Guli River through the window, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Over there, Shi Jiu suddenly saw Miss Helian Er get out of the carriage, and hurriedly got into the crowd that was making lunch, and buried his head to help clean up the food.
When Miss Helian II got out of the car, she just glanced hurriedly into the crowd.
I didn't see Shi Jiu, and I was a little happy and a little disappointed. I am happy that I am afraid that I will not be embarrassed after meeting him, and I am disappointed that I can't see the results of my fanfist.
Stretch out your spring onion jade finger and gently pluck the clear and cold river water. Looking at the clear river, I can't help but think of that guy's eyes, and his eyes are as clear as this river......! I don't know if that guy's lips are better? I remember when I peeked at Shi Jiu's swollen lips in the car in the morning...... Thinking of this, Miss Helian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He found a stone by the river, removed his shoes and socks, and revealed his delicate feet like white jade.
Put it in the water, it's so cool, but it's so comfortable.
Chen Shao'an was directing a few people to support the pot stove, and suddenly saw Shi Jiu sneakily hiding in the crowd, what was he going to do here?
When I saw Miss Helian Er get out of the car and run to the river bank to play, I suddenly realized in my heart.
Ha ha...... Knowing that Shi Jiu was embarrassed to take a picture with Miss Leng Er, Chen Shaoan thought of teasing Shi Jiu again.
Should I say something about this situation?
Suddenly, I remembered that a few years ago, I saw a small poem on a piece of paper in Shi Jiu's arms. At that time, I felt fresh, so I memorized it. Hey, that's a bit of a fitting word.
Chen Shaoan coughed loudly and cleared his throat.
"Red sleeves incense, brocade clothes, thousands of miles apart, how can you forget?
Bachuan River, Fenglin Bank, ferry farewell, rouge incense? Acacia people break their bowels.
Red face tears, two looks, thrush just waiting, and Jun makeup, the more I think about it, the more desolate it becomes...... "
Chen Shaoan shook his head and shook his head, half-closed his eyes like a bookworm on his brain. He also put his hands behind his back, straightened his body, and learned the appearance of a talented man. After chanting for a while, he was about to open his eyes to see Shi Jiu's embarrassed appearance.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I suddenly saw a flower in front of me, and I don't know when a woman in plain clothes and a light veil was standing in front of her. Chen Shao'an was startled and stopped.
The woman appeared abruptly in front of her like a ghost, without a sound, and she didn't even notice when she came?
The woman was covered with a light veil, and she stood in front of Chen Shao'an without saying a word, just looking at him coldly through the veil.
Chen Shaoan suddenly remembered that when he set off from Beizhen, he had seen the back of this woman.
This woman is Miss Helian!
Looking at Chen Shao'an, who was stunned, Miss Helian first asked coldly: "Where did you get these few words?
The voice was extremely cold, and there was a tone that rejected people thousands of miles away.
Chen Shaoan was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. I had to say, "This is what I saw elsewhere by chance, and I thought it was fresh and memorized it?"
"Where did you see that? Where is he now? Do you know?" said Miss Helian, whose voice trembled a little, and asked again.
Chen Shao'an heard her question, and said secretly in his heart: "Who is he she is asking? Could it be Shi Jiu? No, she has already seen Shi Jiu." Don't you ask the author of this poem! But how do I know this?"
Miss Helian saw that he hadn't answered for a long time, but seeing that his expression was ignorant and ignorant, she was not only puzzled.
When I saw him pretending to be like those talents, I suddenly felt disgusted in my heart.
I couldn't help frowning slightly, and said coldly: "You're not him, don't learn from him! Because you don't like him, it will make people disgusted!"
also no longer paid attention to Chen Shaoan. His body flashed, and he suddenly lost his trace. When she looked again, she was back in the carriage.
Leaving only a trace of Yuan Li's breath, this Miss Helian is actually a sorcerer, and she is also a high-level sorcerer!
From beginning to end, he didn't wait for Chen Shaoan to say the last two words, and Chen Shaoan was a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with me? I'm chanting my words so well, what's in her way? Why don't you want to learn from him? Who is he? What's going on? What's the matter? I'm handsome, huh? I haven't seen her face yet? It's just that she's beautiful, but she's also a crazy woman! Asking some nonsense?
Chen Shaoan scratched his head, suddenly startled, and remembered something.
This Miss Helian is so clever! I remembered that I didn't pay attention to her when I came, but when I left...... What a powerful light skill! But is that a light skill? Hmm? No, she has the breath of Yuan Shu, she is a sorcerer! But I haven't seen her recite a mantra, how can she be a little like the secret method used by some great sorcerers! But I can't tell what kind of secret method it is? But no matter what it is? Look at her skills? She is a master! Definitely a master! She is definitely a master! She is definitely not her opponent!
No wonder Chu Chongshan didn't stop them from entering the grassland in the first place. With such a master in charge, wouldn't the grasp of the Ancient Strange Mountain be a little bigger this time.
The people of the Luo caravan found that a beautiful woman appeared in the team here, and they couldn't help but stop their work and look here.
A few of them were bold on weekdays, and they even whistled a few times.
Chen Shaoxin was not happy, and immediately glared at the Luo caravan with a black face, "What are you looking at! Grandma, haven't you seen it?"
Chu Chongshan's subordinates also stood up and looked over there.
When the whistling fellows saw these people looking at them, they remembered the scene when the sun rose in North Town. hurriedly pretended to work, and no one dared to look back. I only dared to sneak a few glances at Miss Helian Er, who was playing by the river, and whispered a few words.
