Han Changdui held the letter, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The fifth beacon is built on the east side of the post road, located at the head of Mohe Yan moraine, and from the fifth beacon to the north is Mohe Yan moraine.

I didn't expect that I would have such an opportunity.

He put away the letterhead very solemnly, arched his hand, and in his calm expression as before, he felt a little more gratitude: "Thank you, Lord County, I will leave first, he will have the opportunity to disturb him one day." ”

Seeing that the long history of Han Wangfu was so young and promising, and chivalrous, the county Cheng had already made friends, and saw that Han Changdui did not reject his kindness, and he could be regarded as a high climber, so he smiled sharply: "That's natural, when the adults and their party return, they must come to Changle to stay for a few more days." ”

After a few more gossips, Han Changdui arched his hand and rode out of the city.

The sky is gradually brightening, and there is a morning glow in the high blue sky, such as practice like satin, brilliant and dazzling.

Leaving Changle County, the road became more and more desolate, and green was rare.

Riding on a horse, I looked into the distance, and the desolate hills were rolling and undulating, and the horse's hooves rose and fell rapidly, bringing up a choking yellow gravel.

The road that Han Changwan and his entourage are now walking deviates from the Yiwu Road, bypasses the Shifeng, runs through the depths of the Mohe Yan Moraine, leads to Yiwu, and comes out of the Mohe Yan Moraine, which is Gao Changguo, which is much faster than taking the Yiwu Road in a regular manner and passing the Shifeng to check the road quotation documents.

It's just that this road called the Great Sea Road is very dangerous, and ordinary caravans will not choose this road, not to mention that the Mohe Yan Moraine is extremely windy and sandy, and often covers the Great Sea Road.

People who are lost in Moheyan moraine and die of lack of water abound.

Therefore, this road, in addition to the urgent order from the army to go, is a caravan willing to take the risk of smuggling prohibited goods, and there is no choice to take this road to avoid Yiwu Shifeng.

Those who walk on this road are experienced soldiers and guides who are familiar with this place.

Han Changwan and his entourage naturally did not need to deliberately avoid the Ten Stations, but they stopped at Xinjing Station and Guangxian Station for a while, and with the seal letter of Han Wangfu, the garrison army really did not do much investigation, and even greeted them with good wine and food.

It's just that they have something on their minds, so they don't care about eating and drinking, and carefully probe the traces of the baggage team, and they don't even let go of the slightest clue, but in the end they find nothing.

In desperation, Meng Suiqi let the flying slave out again and re-identified the route, only to find that the baggage team had completely avoided the two posts, deviated from the Yiwu Road, and went to the Great Sea Road.

Han Changdui and his entourage naturally could only deviate from Yiwu Dao and follow Feinu all the way into the yellow sand.

The yellow sand is under your feet, and the sun is blazing overhead.

The horse's hooves trampled over the yellowed bones of the sun, making a clattering sound.

Turning over the broken rocks, there are still endless barren hills, and even the weeds dotted in between are withered and yellow.

The wind was so strong that it whined, whining through the yellow sand and gravel, and whistling in mid-air.

Han Changdui and his entourage hurried during the day and stayed in the desert at night, and they were already dusty.

As soon as the day dawned, while the cold had not subsided and the hot sun had not yet fallen, the group rushed to the edge of Moheyanmoraine.

Han Changwan and Helian Wenyuan turned over and dismounted, standing side by side on the high platform where the loess had accumulated.

The high platform was covered with yellow sand, and the yellow sand covered the tops of the leather boots.

The real Mohe Yanmoi has not yet arrived in front of him, but he has just touched the edge, but it is already inaccessible.

Han Changwan took a sip of water, but did not swallow it, let the water stay in his mouth one more time before swallowing it slowly.

After counting all the water and food, Meng Sui hurriedly walked to Han Changdu's side, and said in a low voice: "Childe, we don't have much water and flax cakes, so we can still last for a day." ”

Han Changdu's eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes were solemn, and he turned his head and asked Helian Wenyuan: "What does Brother Helian think?" ”

Helian Wenyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if his eyes were stung by the yellow-orange-orange sand, and he said cautiously: "In Mohe Yanmoraine, it often takes six or seven days to have a supply of water, and besides, we still have to find people and convoys inside, and it is very easy to get lost. At the moment, we don't have much water and food, not enough to hold on until we find the next water source," he paused slightly: "Today's Mohe Yanmoraine, although it is not too hot during the day, but it is extremely cold at night, we can only rush during the day, and as soon as it is dark, we must find a shelter to rest, otherwise it is very easy to freeze to death." ”

Han Changwan nodded, in this case, he couldn't rush into Mohe Yanmo, he thought for a moment, and pondered: "I remember that the fifth beacon has a water source. ”

Helian Wenyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the ten beacons of Yiwu Dao have post stations and water sources for caravans to rest and get water, but the inventory is extremely strict." ”

"It doesn't matter, how far is the Fifth Beacon from here." Han Changdui said.

Helian Wenyuan discerned the direction and pointed to the northeast: "It's only half a day's journey. ”

He guessed Han Changdu's thoughts, and pondered a sentence: "Xu Xiangli, the commander of the Fifth Beacon, is an extremely difficult straight man, and it is very difficult to speak, and when the caravans go to the Fifth Beacon, they will often be made difficult. ”

Han Changdui sighed lightly, thinking that the county man of Changle County was an extremely gentle and mellow person, how could such a person become close friends with a difficult person.

He thought for a moment and said lightly: "Oh, how can he make things difficult for the caravan, is he trying to extort silver taels?" ”

Helian Wenyuan shook his head: "It's okay if you ask for money, he doesn't want money, you know, the caravan will go for a few months, I don't know what kind of accidents will happen on the way, the goods and animals brought may not match the road guide documents, other beacon officials, most of them can match the big number, but this Xu Shuguan is not, but if there is a little bit of inadequacy, he will not let it go." ”

Han Changwan smiled: "This is an iron-faced and selfless person. ”

Helian Wenyuan sighed with emotion: "Yes, the imperial court knows how to make good use of people, such people should indeed be reused, Hexi has always been barren, this trade road, not only rich those giants, but also fed the small traders and horsemen escort team, if the military officials in Shifengli, everyone is like him, the high-ranking officials and giants have other ways, but the small people are the worst, it is tantamount to cutting off the way of life, I don't know how many people want to sell their sons and daughters, and how many people will not survive the winter, and they will starve to death and freeze to death." ”

Yes, they have come all the way, and with the seal of Han Wangfu, no one has strictly investigated.

Han Changwan was speechless for a while, and remembered a sentence.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no fugitives.

He paused and said, "It's okay, we have a letter from Changle County, I think that the unkind Xu Shuguan won't be too embarrassed for us, besides, we have all the road evidence and documents, and there is nothing to embarrass about." ”

Helian Wenyuan nodded, thinking that there was also the seal letter of the Han Wangfu, a Xu Xiangli was indeed not to be afraid.

Yao stood on her horse, the wind lifting her face, revealing her dry and cracked lips.

As far as the eye can see, it is full of desolation, there is no half of human habit, only a few black and thin scorpions burrowing through the white bones, and the faint traces dragged out of the yellow sand are blown away by the wind in an instant.

She suddenly thought of the ghost blowing the lamp, and Hu Bayi's party was looking for the exquisite ancient city in the vast desert, and it was as desolate and dead as it is now.

Just thinking about these boundless things, Gu Chen urged the horse over, looked at Yao Qi, who was tightly wrapped, and said: "Ah Qi, you are so tightly wrapped, there is not even a shadow of a person, you can't scare people, are you afraid of scaring the ghost shadow." ”

Yao Qi glanced at Gu Chen, lifted his mask, put his hand on the side of his face and compared, and sneered: "Look at it, my hands are still as white as my face, you are different, and when you enter Mohe Yanmoraine, you will become a sauce color." ”

Gu Chen's face changed suddenly, and he really took out a small bronze mirror the size of a palm from his waist and took a photo, gritting his back molars and screaming: "Ah Qi, you, you, why didn't you tell me earlier." Ahh ”

"......" Yao Qi was startled.

The movement was too big, and the reaction was too intense.

Gu Chen grabbed Yao Qi's arm and shouted out eagerly: "Ah Qi, Ah Qi, I'm here, can this be changed back." ”

Yao Qi frowned: "Yes, yes, right." ”

"Yes, right?" Gu Chen stumbled, his face was ugly and scary, and he directly turned into a sauce color, and he wanted to cry without tears: "My good skin, Ah Qi, I have been ruined by you." ”

Yao Qi's face was black.

Could it be that this is the kind of person in the legend, who tells him that he can't get rich, he doesn't care at all, but if he tells him that he can't become beautiful, he will always be ugly, and he can go crazy with worry.

She struggled to sort out her thoughts, and smiled with fascination: "Gu Shenxian, do you know, there was once a peerless Meilangjun in Chang'an City, known as Bai Gu, who was handsome enough to anger Pan An, and there was a nickname called Bai Gu at first sight, but later, he forcibly tanned himself into a bronzer, not only handsome, but also tough, especially manly." ”

Gu Chen frowned, feeling that Yao Qi always had a serious appearance of nonsense, and refused to believe her easily, and questioned: "Such a handsome man, you didn't snatch it back, you are lying to me." ”

"......" Yao Qi gasped and looked at each other speechlessly.

What is called chicken and duck, this is it.

Don't stop her, she's going to kill him.

When the two of them were arguing about the question of whether their faces were black or white, Wang Xian walked over, patted the yellow sand all over his body, and said with a smile: "Ah Qi, Lao Gu, what are you two talking about, you are talking so lively." ”

Gu Chen carefully said what Yao Qi said just now to Wang Xian, and then asked: "You are the most familiar in Chang'an City, but you have heard of a beautiful man named Bai Gu. ”

Bai Gu is Yao Qi's favorite star Gu Tianle in his previous life, and she is often compared with Meilangjun in this life.
