Chapter 10 The Desert Changsha
The so-called: there is no grass and trees in the north, and the black kite nest zombies. The desert is empty, and the wind blows all day long.
The destination of the two is Liangzhou, the northernmost state, which is close to the desert, the land is vast and sparsely populated, the desert is lonely, and the scene of the sunset on the long river is indeed completely different from the Central Plains. Here, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and there are often unsuspecting people who freeze to death on the desert, or are directly taken by vicious birds of prey. And Liangzhou, although nominally a major state of the Tang Empire, is located in a remote area and does not have much value, so the Tang Empire's management of this land is also very lax.
Because of this, there are countless horse thieves, sand thieves, robbers, etc. in Liangzhou, they are usually people, and they are thieves when they pick up a knife, and the people are fierce, which can be seen. And the lord of Liangzhou also turned a blind eye to this situation, after these sand bandits looted, they would take part of their property to "honor" him, with such benefits, why wouldn't he do it?
Of course, in the last few days, the lord of the mansion suddenly became "upright", and at the same time, he also warned all the sand bandits and horse thieves in Liangzhou to let them settle down a little. Otherwise, once there was any problem with the team transporting the Tianshan Snow Lotus, even if he had ten heads, he would not be able to save his life. Actually, there is no need for him to say that the horse thieves in Liangzhou are not fools, and I am afraid that no one will be willing to face the attack of the "Eagle Monk" and the three thousand "Flying Wolf Army". The Tianshan Snow Lotus is a good thing, but it also has to be lived to enjoy it.
White Horse City, the most remote city in Liangzhou, out of White Horse City, does not belong to the sphere of influence of the Tang Empire. The name of this city is taken from the meaning of "white horses adorned with golden bonds, galloping northwest". When the emperor was young, it was here that he personally drove out on an expedition, crossed a white horse, held a big sword, and repelled 13 onslaughts of Fanbang, completely changing the tradition of Panbang plundering Liangzhou from time to time. The candidates of the hundred battles met with He Ballu here, and there was also a hint of showing off their might.
Ji Yunkong's plan is to wait for Bai Zhanhou to meet with He Ballu, and take the opportunity to steal the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
When Fairy Qingyun heard his plan, he didn't say a word, turned the horse's head and walked back. Joke! White Horse City can be said to be the most heavily guarded town along the way, two "hundred heroes" strong men appeared together, and there are countless elite soldiers and strong generals, even if the top ten masters come over, they must be discovered. Ji Yunkong really regarded himself as a "Martial Emperor"?
According to Fairy Qingyun's idea, if Ji Yunkong acts, he should go to the outside of the plug, so the sky is wide and the earth is wide, and if he is assisted by the little eagle, once he escapes into the air, even He Balu will not be able to do anything about him. Or simply go to Kyoto, the law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that those who pay tribute to foreign envoys must first pay tribute, and chariots and horses are not allowed to enter Kyoto. If you steal it here, you can temporarily avoid He Ballu's eyes, and only face one person in a hundred battles, and the probability will increase greatly.
However, Ji Yunkong just chose the most dangerous path, what is it if this is not to find death? In White Horse City, there are thousands of soldiers, and three thousand "Flying Wolf Army" are guarding them without sleep, and there are two masters to deal with. Such a lineup simply makes all thieves desperate.
"Are you sure you want to steal the Tianshan Snow Lotus, rather than ostensibly come here for a walk, and then find a reason to go back and tell Sister Duanmu that you failed, to fill the regret and guilt in your heart? Deceive oneself as well as others? "Now Fairy Qingyun is very suspicious that this is Ji Yunkong's true thoughts.
Ji Yun rolled his blank eyes, and immediately retorted: "Shut up!" I don't seem to be begging you to come, am I? If it weren't for the fear that Sister Duanmu would be worried, I wouldn't be too lazy to bring such a burden as you? In addition, the title of Sister Duanmu is only what I can call, but you can't. ”
"And what do I call her?" Fairy Qingyun was so angry by Ji Yunkong's domineering words.
"I care about you, and I don't object to you calling her aunt and grandmother."
"You ......"
"Also, aren't you trying to spy on me in the shadows? What are you doing along the way? Can you have some professional qualities, go and go, hide, it's better for me not to see you. Ji Yunkong waved his hand at Fairy Qingyun with a look of disgust.
Fairy Qingyun suddenly found that staying with Ji Yunkong was definitely a matter of exercising his mind. She was known as a "genius" in the Guanghan Palace, treating people and things, and being generous, and won the unanimous favor of the same teachers and teachers, and everyone respected her. Even after escaping from Guanghan Palace and coming to Yangzhou, in the Yanyu Building, it is also a fairy-like existence, no one in the palace nobles, ministers and princes dares to be arrogant in front of her, and they all pretend to be polite in order to win her favor.
Although Fairy Qingyun knew that most of them were well-dressed beasts, it was not as real as Ji Yunkong's laughter and scolding. However, seeing Ji Yunkong's "real" face, why did she want to tear it apart so much!
At this time, Ji Yunkong suddenly turned his horse back and walked on a fork in the road.
"Where are you going? Don't go to Cheval White? Fairy Qingyun asked strangely.
"Of course they have to go, but it's not now, anyway, it will be more than three months before they arrive in White Horse City, and if they go earlier, it's just a little more likely to be discovered. I'll go and prepare first, do you think it's so easy to fight against two 'hundred heroes' powerhouses? Stupid! Ji Yunkong said, "You can go to White Horse City and wait for me first, anyway, I will go there after all." "Anyway, I didn't sort out the cloud fairy, and rode away by myself.
Fairy Qingyun thought about it again and again, but she still followed Ji Yunkong, she was afraid that Ji Yunkong would run away halfway, or simply go back. These things, she felt that Ji Yunkong was not like a person who couldn't do it. However, this time, she did not follow closely behind Ji Yunkong, but fell far behind and hid. She also wanted to secretly see what the man in front of her was going to do? And what kind of methods will be used to accomplish this almost impossible thing?
Thousands of miles away, the "vulture monk" He Ballu sat in the carriage and looked up at the sky outside from the window. And beside him, there was a superb jade box made of a hundred-year-old cold jade, and there was a chill around the jade box, and even He Balu couldn't help but use his strength to resist.
Legend has it that in the Guanghan Palace, there is a white jade bed more than two people high, which is also made of hundred-year-old cold jade, and disciples can get twice the result with half the effort by cultivating on it. Now it is just a small piece of cold jade, after a long time, He Ballu actually feels that his internal strength has a faint upward trend, it seems that the rumors are really not groundless.
However, although the hundred-year-old cold jade is precious, it pales in comparison with the items in the box. What's in the box is the Tianshan Snow Lotus! Only such heavenly treasures are eligible to enjoy the jade box of a century-old cold jade. In order to prevent the theft of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, He Ballu kept it with him all the time, and never left even to eat and sleep. Outside, of course, there is also a precious gold box as a cover to divert the attention of others.
"It seems that this trip will not be so peaceful. We're three months away from Whitehorse, and when we get there, the real competition begins. He Ballu smiled coldly and closed the curtains again, and the entire carriage seemed airtight
