Chapter Eighty-Nine: Waking Up from a Nightmare
readx;
I slept too hard last night, and when Wu Xi woke up, the sun was already past midday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
No one dared to wake him up, even if the court came to the palace, he would not be allowed to enter until the lord woke up.
Wu Xi got up very angrily, and if anyone disturbed his sweet dream, the first thing he did when he sat up was to pull out his sword and rest it on the man's neck before speaking.
So no one wants to disturb him sleeping.
There is only one kind of exception, that is, the gentleman on the beam, or the person who thinks he is superior in martial arts and has what he wants.
The reason why Wu Xi was able to wake up was that this person was holding a wet face towel and dripping the remaining water in the face towel on his face drop by drop.
There was very little rain this summer, and different customs and habits were used in various places to pray for rain.
But the thief is playing tricks on his people in his own way, and the more you ask, the more I will not beg.
Wu Xi was praying in his sleep for a hearty rain.
When the rain dripped on his face, his hand involuntarily touched his face, but his heart blossomed.
The first thing that came to mind was that Daddy Wu finally didn't have to carry water to the mountain.
But he felt that something was wrong, the clouds were so low that they hung over his head, and the bull's-eyed baby standing by was grinning, and there was no sign of the rain getting wet on his body, as if the rain of the whole world had fallen on his head alone.
He wanted to escape, he struggled very hard, no matter how hard he tried, his two feet just wouldn't obey him.
Even if you barely run out a few steps, the clouds hanging overhead are like a lonely ghost, and you can't shake it off.
The pressure in his heart made Wu Xi feel that he was dreaming.
I wanted to wake up, but there was a force pulling him to prevent him from waking up, my heart was very uncomfortable, my body struggled to wake up desperately, I was physically and mentally exhausted and relieved, and before I could calm down, a beautiful face appeared in my sight.
Holding a face towel in his hand, he was pouring water on his face with a wicked smile.
Wu Xi is very sure that this person is not from the Meridian Camp, even if he is from the Meridian Camp, no one dares to play with his face so blatantly, unless he wants to die if he has a good life.
When I woke up, I suddenly relaxed.
He pulled open the man's face towel with his hand and got out of bed with difficulty.
Dreaming is actually a very fortunate thing, especially nightmares, the feeling of not knowing what is happening, wanting to escape but never being able to escape, is very scary.
Sitting next to the round table specially set up for himself in the camp tent, he opened two teacups, poured them full, and drank a cup by himself, just now he was sweating badly, his body was seriously dehydrated, and he urgently needed to replenish water, so he drank two cups in succession, and the dryness on his throat was slightly reduced.
The man was not polite, walked over, made opposite Wu Xi, and drank the tea in the teacup.
After drinking it, I was full of praise for the tea.
Wu Xi glanced at Wang Haozi, who was asleep at the door, shook his head, and added tea to the man's quilt.
"Leading thousands of people, pretending to be bandits, is actually a caravan, just you, come to this Qizhou territory to do business, aren't you afraid of robbers along the way to rob you?"
After the man praised Wu Xi's tea, he began to speak, and the purpose of his speech was naturally to talk about Wu Xi's current situation first, and then lead the topic to the purpose of his own visit.
It's old, it's not new.
Wang Hezi slept at noon, which is unreasonable, but this person is not a simple person at first glance.
The surrounding camp was dissatisfied with the open and dark posts, and they failed to warn, so they entered Wu Xi's Chinese army camp, fortunately this was not a war, if it was a war, he would have died more than a hundred times.
Wu Xi chuckled lightly and said, "It's true that I'm here to do business, but what I'm here to do is a bandit's business, don't you see it?"
"Doing business with bandits? It's still real and fresh, it's the first time I've heard of it, tell me, what kind of business are you doing with bandits, and what are you going to do?"
"Why are you so interested in me doing business with bandits, unless you're a bandit. ”
The man's hand holding the teacup suddenly stopped at his lips, and after a pause, he drank all the tea that was left in the teacup.
"This is a head-killing word, you can't talk nonsense. ”
Wu Xi smiled again, he never talked nonsense, if he talked nonsense, it must be drunk.
Now he is very sober, sober and aware that Panya and Red Boy have come to the periphery of the camp, Red Boy is the main attack, and Banya's flanks form an encirclement trend, just waiting for the Lord's teacup to fall, he will launch a fierce attack.
This attack must have been used in this attack with all the skills they had learned all their lives, because their generals were locked up in their tents and their lives were in danger.
"Whether the words are chaotic or not, we naturally know it in our hearts, and I won't be entangled in the matter of your identity, so I have to distinguish between right and wrong.
I'm a businessman, so I'll only abide by the principle of profit first, and ignore everything else, if you think I'm still trustworthy, then I'll talk about it.
If you don't think we need to talk about it, you can just walk away, and my people won't do anything to you.
We have long mountains and rivers, there will always be a day when we meet, the so-called being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future, isn't it?"
"What a pair of sharp teeth, no wonder the military advisor told me thousands of instructions before leaving, you must be careful of you, I have already begun to pay attention to you, I didn't expect to really let the military advisor say it, you kid is really unusual, if you can join us, it will definitely make our army like a tiger." ”
Wu Xi waved his hand, for fear that he would tell their identity and purpose, in that case, even if he didn't agree, these people were notoriously ruthless, and they would be able to look up to you if they killed you.
"I'm just a businessman, since human beings have a surplus, trading has existed in people's lives all the time, no matter what you do, you have what you need and can't get it, so the merchant provides you with this convenience.
As for what you want these things to do, that's not up to me. ”
"What are you afraid of?"
"Am I scared?"
Wu Xi spread his hands and asked innocently.
"Your look has betrayed you, and when I was about to tell who I was, you were scared, and you tried to hide your panic with your theories, and by that reason you were not a simple caravan leader.
Your camp is stationed outside the city, this is a standard marching camp, but it is a little different from other military camps, depending on the position of your personnel and the way of guarding, it is not ordinary, if I hadn't been hiding in the shadows and seeing your arrangement, I don't think I would have seen you at all, and I was shot into a hedgehog by your crossbow arrows.
I have never heard of such a powerful caravan.
You say that merchants are profit-seeking, but the money and food consumed by your equipment and manpower are not affordable by ordinary trading.
Honestly, what exactly do you do, did you send someone from the imperial court to recruit An?"
Sure enough, Wu Yong is more useful, he already knew his existence, and when he first learned that he set off from Chang'an, he sent Yan Qing to monitor him, and now it is useless to say anything.
Since people know their identity, then they should only come to what he is doing, if he is still hiding at this time, it is not conducive to the development of the super good relationship between the two families.
If he takes them down bloodlessly and uses these people for himself, then he will not come in vain.
"You must be the prodigal son Yanqing, right? I have long heard that there is a handsome young man under Song Jiang, who is good at shooting, and his martial arts are not weak, and his kung fu is also first-class, I didn't expect to meet you here, I am really lucky."
I came to Qizhou this time, it was a complete accident, a friend was injured on the road, so I settled here, the original destination should be in Qingzhou.
Don't tell me that your nest is not located in Qingzhou, in that case, I will lie down in vain. ”
Yan Qing was very surprised to be recognized, don't think about it if you can't figure it out, since people have seen through their own identity, they must have their own methods, so I won't be entangled here.
The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to himself, because the military advisor said that there are many masters around this person, and they are all hiding their whereabouts, even if they see him very smoothly, it may be the water that others deliberately put out.
For this, Yan Qing kept a very clear mind.
"Since you know it's me, you can still talk and laugh, it's definitely not something ordinary people can do, say a reason why I won't kill you. ”
Yan Qing said this deliberately, wanting to scare and scare him, knowing that there were many of their people in the courtyard, and they were already ready to attack him, if it weren't for this kid's forbearance, that group of killers would have rushed in and dismantled him.
"Let's put aside the topic of you killing me, let me ask you, when you came in, were my men damaged?"
"I've hurt two, it's not serious, I'm afraid I'm already awake by this time. ”
"That's good, we still have to do business, if my people die, I will fight with you today, this is my principle of doing things, and it is also the premise of our cooperation.
Once you are infected with human life, then the nature changes, no matter how great the difference in strength between us is, I will take my brothers to fight you in a big battle.
You guessed right, my brothers and I are connected, and we came together, so naturally we want to go back together, and you go back and ask your brother Song if he will provoke a war with the imperial court for you, or give up his dream of recruiting peace. ”
"You are dividing our relationship, but I have to admit that you are a good general, and everyone's different standards of behavior will lead to different results.
Relying too much on your heart to do things can sometimes backfire, so it's better to think about it carefully.
I'm leaving, I hope your people can open my mouth, you know my archery, don't make it difficult for me. ”
