Chapter 240: Cherry Blossom Copper Coins
readx;? In this operation, at the request of Li Niang, Gao Cheguo attacked with all his might, and Prince Houthis brought almost all the masters, and there were more than 1,500 people. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info army opened the way in front, and Lin Tian and the others followed far behind under the leadership of the little eunuch.
There are more than 1,000 people, and they are all elite masters of the country of high cars, so it stands to reason that they should have a smooth journey, but they encountered difficulties not long after leaving the city.
Outside the city, there is a Accord River, which flows down from the ice and snow plateau thousands of miles away, and the river water is clear and cold all year round, which is the mother river of the nearby area. In the dry season of winter, the river is not wide, and it is connected by an arch bridge that has stood for a hundred years, and it is the only bridge on both sides of the Accord River within a radius of 100 miles. It was this arch bridge that had stood for a hundred years that made the army suffer.
Although it was the dry season of winter, perhaps because of the heavy rain upstream, the river swelled and broke a bridge pier during the night, and when the army rode halfway through, the sturdy stone bridge suddenly collapsed and broke in two, and many people fell into the icy water. In the end, most of the people who had lost their footing and fallen into the water were soaking wet and shivering with cold, although they all got up and survived. In desperation, the army could only temporarily station and repair, and piles of bonfires were lit in the temporary camp. Prince Houthi was furious, publicly reprimanded the forward commander in charge of the reconnaissance, and pushed out several negligent scouts and beheaded them on the spot.
Lin Tian and his entourage quickly followed, sat down around a bonfire, and remained silent in a low-key manner.
The familiar coughing sound came, and as soon as the group sat down, Li Niang walked over with the support of the maid Qiuhong, looked at the little eunuch who led the way for Lin Tian and his party and said: "Xiao Anzi, these are the guards I brought from the capital of the Han Kingdom, they don't understand the customs and habits outside the country, and they are not used to the climate here, please take care of them more." ”
"No trouble, this is what I should do!"
The little eunuch hurriedly stood up, bowed and saluted, he was old-fashioned in front of Lin Tian and the others, but he was respectful in front of Li Niang, "Don't worry, madam, I will definitely lead them to follow behind the army, and then bring them back to Broken Leaf City safely!"
"That's good, Xiao Anzi, please bother more! I'll bring you some food, hurry up and rest when you're done!"
Li Niang walked over in a curling manner, followed by two soldiers, carrying a large box containing a lot of food, barbecue, and liquor to keep out the cold. Walking all the way to Lin Tian, Li Niang stopped, took out a scroll from her arms and handed it to Lin Tian, "Zhang Gu, this is the map of Gaoche Country, if you are willing to stay outside the Saiwai, then continue to keep up, if you are homesick and want to go back to the Han Kingdom, follow the road on the map after dawn, and say hello to Lord Shilang for me when I go back!"
With a simple word, Li Niang curled away with the support of Qiu Hong, leaving a faint fragrant breeze. The moment he passed by, he secretly glanced at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian understood, quickly put the map away, and after a while, took out the map while no one was paying attention. As Li Niang said, this is a map of the country of high cars, the mountains and rivers are all meticulous, deliberately marking the Heishui River Valley where the bat cave is located, and more importantly, there is a small note in it, with only four words on it: 'Be careful of Husthis'. The handwriting is very sloppy, obviously very hurried when writing, but the handwriting is beautiful, and it can be seen that it is Liniang's handwriting.
"Be careful of the Houthis?"
"This high-car prince, something is really wrong!"
"What did Li Niang find in the palace? Also, since something is wrong with the Houthis, why did he send troops to sweep the bat cave at Li Niang's request, and even risk his own expedition?"
Lin Tian muttered in his heart, his face became solemn, he used the map to block the sight of the little eunuch Xiao Anzi, and silently burned the note to ashes. The disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect were busy eating and drinking, and they didn't notice Lin Tian's movements, only Shangguan Tu, who was the leader, glanced at Lin Tian intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to see everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, pretending to be an ordinary guard.
After more than an hour of repair, the army finally set off on its way to continue its journey. Lin Tian shirked the cold wind and climate outside the fortress, and followed behind with the disciples of the Qiankun Sword Sect at a distance, and the eunuch Xiao Anzi did not think so, and regarded Lin Tian and his party as ordinary guards.
After re-entering the road, the army quickly stepped up and accelerated towards the Blackwater Valley under the orders of Prince Houthi. But halfway through, I encountered another accident, and when I passed a canyon, a landslide occurred on the left slope. This time, the scouts were very vigilant and reminded the army to stop in time. However, although there were no casualties, the road was heavily blocked. After spending half an hour, only one path was sorted out that only allowed one war horse to pass.
The speed of the mighty army suddenly slowed down. The sky gradually brightened, and pedestrians began to appear on the road. Seeing the soldiers in armor, they all avoided standing on the side of the road. Lin Tian followed the little eunuch unhurriedly, walking and walking, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
An old man in a bright red robe, holding a fortune-telling cloth in his hand, stood by the side of the road to tell people's fortunes. It's none other than Zhang Banxian's old man.
"Master, this master, you must help me calculate, when will I be able to get a daughter-in-law?" A farmer in his thirties looked at Zhang Banxian, his face was black and red from the sun, and his facial features were almost crowded together. Life outside the Seychelles is already hard, and many women have gone to the Han Kingdom in Guannai, and it is extremely difficult to ask for a daughter-in-law without money or power.
"It's difficult!" Zhang Banxian's eyes were half-open and half-closed, and he shook his head.
"Master, you must help me!" the farmer took out a few copper coins from his bosom and placed them in front of Zhang Banxian.
"It's difficult, it's difficult!" Zhang Banxian shook his head one after another.
"This is all my savings, that's all!" The farmer took the money bag out of his arms and put it pitifully in front of Zhang Banxian, the bag was empty of only a few dirty copper plates, "Master, you can help me, my mother has been lying in bed for three years, and she is counting on me to pass on her ancestry before she breathes, please!"
"It's hard, it's hard, it's hard!"
Zhang Banxian said a difficult word, shook his head one after another, and looked helpless.
"Master, I really don't have any money, you must help me!" The farmer was really about to cry, just now, he saw Zhang Banxian telling a fortune to a person with his own eyes, amazing, and begged him to show him a clear way.
"Well, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, the old man didn't want to lose his life, but he thought that your life is not easy and filial piety, so make an exception!"
Zhang Banxian grabbed a few copper coins in his hand, returned them to the farmer, pointed to Lin Tian who was riding on a tall horse, and whispered: "There are some things, far away in the sky, close in front of you, see it, the young man on the war horse is your fateful nobleman." Go, give him these copper coins, and beg him to help you!"
"Asking for a big internal forbidden army?"
Looking at Lin Tian, who was wearing a helmet and armor, wearing the standard armor of the Gaoche National Forbidden Army, the farmer was stunned. Seeing that Lin Tian was about to ride away, he rushed forward with a hard head, "My lord, please help Xiaomin!"
"Get out, where did you come from, where do you go, you dare to stop the Great Internal Forbidden Army!"
The little eunuch Xiao Anzi turned around, raised the leather whip in his hand and was about to whip it down viciously, seeing that the leather whip was about to fall, his wrist was suddenly held by Lin Tian's hand.
"Master Warden, forget it, we don't have the same knowledge as him. ”
Lin Tian looked at the farmer who was blocking his horse, the latter and Zhang Banxian didn't hear a word of what they said just now, the little eunuch didn't hear a word, but Lin Tian heard it all, and he had some doubts in his heart, "This brother, say, what do you want me to help you?"
"My lord, please...... , please help me with the ...... , beg for a daughter-in-law!"
The farmer, who had always said whatever he wanted, also stood up, and it was nothing to find a fortune teller to ask for this, and to find a big internal forbidden army to say this, he also blushed and twisted like a big girl. However, thinking about Zhang Banxian's so-called heavenly opportunity, and then thinking about the old lady who had been waiting for her to marry in her dreams, she had no choice but to let it go, and stuffed the copper coin in her hand into Lin Tian's hand as she spoke.
"Let me help you get a daughter-in-law?"
Although he had already listened to the words of the farmer and Zhang Banxian in front of him, but when he heard the farmer say this to his face, Lin Tian was still laughing and laughing, and was about to refuse, when his heart suddenly moved.
Although Zhang Banxian is a god stick in the game world, in addition to being able to speak with a mouth, Xiuwei is also extraordinary, and he is a hidden master; after losing under his own knife, he insisted on sweeping the bat cave with him, waiting for him to complete the task and go to the East China Sea with him, and volunteered to find out the news for himself, he did this, there must be some deep meaning!
Lin Tian didn't speak, and took a closer look at the copper coins that the farmer stuffed into himself. Sure enough, it was soon discovered that two of the copper coins were a little different, one copper coin was engraved with his fingernails with the words 'Be careful of the prince', and the other copper coin, the shape seemed to be exactly the same as an ordinary copper coin, but the weight was ten times heavier, and the heavy one was made of unknown materials, with a cherry blossom engraved on the front, and a lot of runes carved on the back faintly transmitted obscure power fluctuations.
"This is no ordinary copper coin, this is ...... , a cherry blossom copper coin, a powerful treasure of the East China Sea Cherry Blossom Island!"
Lin Tian was secretly shocked in his heart, and understood that Zhang Banxian really had another meaning, he must have heard something, but because of the many eyes and ears around him, he couldn't explain it directly, so he secretly changed his bag for a copper coin, took the farmer's hand to convey the alarm to himself, and gave himself a body protection treasure.
Li Niang reminded you to be careful of Prince Hussei, and now Zhang Banxian also said the same, it seems that there is really something wrong with this high-car prince!
This trip to the Bat Cave is likely to be a trap!
Lin Tian's face became even more solemn, and he secretly raised his vigilance.
"My lord, my lord, please ......" The farmer looked at Lin Tian with a red face, his face full of anticipation.
Lin Tian came back to his senses, "You just want to ask for a daughter-in-law, no other requirements?"
"No, just this requirement, as long as the adults are fulfilled, the small ones are willing to make cattle and horses for you. The farmer replied.
"What's your name?" Lin Tian asked again.
"The little one's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Er. The farmer replied hurriedly.
"Okay, you go south, go to Stone Town to find someone, Li Han, the northern general of the Great Han Kingdom, go. Lin Tian stretched out his hand and pointed to the south.
"My lord, this ......"
Lu Er, a farmer who was full of hope with joy, was a little stunned, as if someone had poured cold water on him. Who is the general of the northern frontier of the Great Han Kingdom, even if he works tirelessly to cross the mountains and mountains to Stone City, he will not be able to see Li Han after waiting in the city for ten or eight years.
"You said that a person named Zhang Gu asked you to go. ”
Lin Tian knew that Li Han was proficient in the art of war and had great power, and he must have known the pseudonym of Zhang Gu, and seeing that the farmer Lu Er was still stunned, he continued: "Go ahead, the climate outside the country is harsh, and many places have suffered from snow disasters this year, but the Great Han Kingdom is different, after taking refuge in General Li, as long as you can endure hardships yourself, you will definitely be able to stay in the Stone Town of the Great Han Kingdom and take your mother over." Life is better, are you still worried that you won't be able to please a daughter-in-law? When the time comes, if you are developed, don't be picky, just ask for the second and third rooms. ”
Lin Tian smiled as he spoke, Yue Qingshan and other sect disciples also laughed, everyone was silent all the way, the atmosphere was a little depressing, and now, being made so troubled by this Lu Er, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"Thank you, thank you, your lord!"
Lu Er woke up like a dream, and was busy bending down to salute Lin Tian.
"Haha, Lord Overseer, I'm tired of waiting for you, let's go!"
Lin Tian smiled, thanked Zhang Banxian who was standing on the side of the road from afar, and rode away with the little eunuch and others, chasing Prince Housai's army.
