Wang Xian naturally hadn't heard of Bai Gu, he tilted his head and thought for a long time before he said: "I haven't heard of Bai Gu, but I know that there is a family surnamed Hei in Yongle Fang, and his eldest son is called Hei Gu, yes, it seems to be the word Tianle." ”

Yao stumbled and almost fell off the sand dune.

What is this, it was really thunder from the sky, and it happened to be on her head.

As he was talking about the excitement, Han Changdui and Helian Wenyuan walked down from the high platform and rode their horses to the side of several people.

Han Changdui calmly ordered: "I won't enter Mohe Yanqi today, let's go to the fifth beacon to replenish water and food." ”

Everyone cheered, and it was finally time to eat a hot mouthful.

Yao Ji touched his clothes, full of dust, gravel and sweat, mixed together, already hard, although he covered his mask early, but his hair was still not spared, and it was dirty and knotted.

Hearing that she could go to the Fifth Beacon for repairs, she thought, she can finally take a shower.

With hope, the same path seems to be extraordinarily easy to walk.

But it is indeed better to walk, from the sea road, diagonally on the Yiwu road, it is a repaired official road, and a large number of caravan travelers have walked over the years, and the road is smooth and smooth.

After walking for a long time, the grass and trees gradually increased, and the wind and sand calmed down a lot.

When the sunset flows in the sky, the beacon appears in front of you.

The ten beacons of Yiwu Road were all built next to the water source and connected to the post station, and the same is true of the fifth beacon.

Before he approached the beacon, there was a moist water vapor on his face.

The sparse poplar trees and red willow trees are planted outside the beacon and post station, and at this time, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and only the scattered light green hangs on the treetops, sticking to the corners of the wall, looking bleak and humble and pitiful.

Seeing Han Changdui and his entourage coming in the dust, a garrison had already walked down from the fort to check the road introduction documents.

Meng Suiqi still showed the seal letter of the Han Wangfu.

But the seal letter, which has always been invincible, is useless this time.

The garrison shook his head and insisted on checking the instructions of the group.

Han Changwan smiled and took another copy of the history of King Han's Mansion to lead out.

At this moment, Helian Wenyuan's eyes were shocked.

It's no wonder that these people look confident, it turns out that they are fake and do a full set, so they will have no fear.

The garrison checked that there was no mistake and let him go.

The post station is not large, and the layout of other beacons is not much different, except for the post house for officials and post men to eat and lodge and exchange horses, and there is also a simple wine shop for caravans to rest.

Han Changdui and his entourage did not live in the inn, but in the inn behind the wine shop.

The shopkeeper is a couple in their early thirties, the man is not tall, slightly rickety, but has a very kind smile.

The woman was slender and tall, a head taller than the man, like clouds of black hair tightly held behind her head, her eyebrows and eyes were slightly raised, and she looked very shrewd.

Seeing Han Changdui and his entourage coming to stay, the owner smiled even more, hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, cut mutton to cook soup, and cooked evening food.

The woman wiped her hands with a smile, took the silver from Meng Sui's hand, her voice was as clear and bright as the ding dong of spring water, and she turned her head and said angrily to the shopkeeper: "You know how to laugh, and you don't know how to let a few distinguished guests go into the room to rest." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, but still didn't speak, looking very silent.

The woman sighed helplessly, and smiled brightly: "Don't worry, don't worry, the slave family is a man of few words, but he is a good person with solid eyes." ”

Han Changwan nodded and smiled faintly.

Suddenly, his leg sank, and he pounced on him like a small person.

He looked down and saw that it was a little girl with sheep's horns, five or six years old, with a raw jade ball as pink and lovely, holding his legs, tilting her head, looking at him with black grape-like eyes smiling, holding a piece of hot flax cake: "Distinguished guests eat cakes." ”

The child's voice was tender and soft, falling on Han Changdu's heart, his heart softened, squatted down, and said with a rare gentle smile: "I don't eat, you eat." ”

The little girl smiled innocently, but stuffed the flax cake into Han Changdu's mouth: "Distinguished guests eat, A-Niang made it, fragrant." ”

Han Changwan smiled even more happily, and took out a transparent glass jar from the baggage, which contained amber candied fruit, he took the flax cake with a smile, and stuffed the glass jar into the little girl's arms: "Then I'll exchange this for cake with you." ”

The little girl put the glass jar back into Han Changdu's arms, and smiled immaturely: "A-Niang said, you can't ask for things from distinguished guests." ”

As she spoke, she ran back to the woman's side, and the light pink skirt was like a blooming flower, adding some beauty to this barren place.

The woman looked down and smiled, and gently touched the top of the little girl's hair lovingly.

Han Changwan smiled, handed the small glass jar to Meng Sui, and raised his chin at him.

Meng Suijie nodded, stepped forward a few steps, handed the small jar to the little girl, I don't know what she said, the little girl said something to the woman, and the woman finally smiled and nodded.

The little girl happily hugged the glass jar, ran to the well at a trot, took out a piece of candied fruit, stuffed it into the mouth of the eleven or twelve-year-old boy, and asked with a smile: "Brother, is it sweet?" ”

The boy only glanced up when Han Changdui and his party came in, and then he kept bending over, fetching buckets of water.

He looked at the pink little girl, a hearty smile bloomed on her slightly dark and rough cheeks, and nodded heavily: "Sweet." ”

Han Changwan looked at this scene thoughtfully, his face was unconscious, and he also laughed.

Gu Chen took care of his clothes and horses, slowly walked to Han Changdui's side, and suddenly sneered: "I can't see it, my son is quite good at coaxing children." ”

Han Changwan smiled and didn't speak.

The woman coaxed the little girl and smiled at Han Changdu: "It's not easy to walk around at this time, several distinguished guests have worked hard, it's better to go into the room to wash and rest, and come out when it's time to eat." ”

After bumping all the way on the horse, it has been sitting on the ground for several days, and it has long been sleepy and tired, Han Changdui thanked the owner for his kindness: "There is a labor shop, then we will go to the back." ”

The woman walked to the backyard with Han Changdui and his entourage, turned her head and said to the boy, "Go and bring water to the distinguished guests to wash." ”

The water in this place is the most precious, and the water that has been washed and bathed is also used to water the ground, and I dare not waste it.

Yao Qi sorted out her washed hair, and the countless knots couldn't be untied and combed, she thought about it, and finally sighed.

picked up the scissors and cut the long hair into shoulder-length short hair, and then combed it very high.

Tightly tied at the top of the hair, it is neat and refreshing.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and smiled.

A neat beard, a neat hairstyle.

This is what a traveler should look like.

After using up the hot twilight food, Yao Ji rested properly for a long time, planning to go to bed early, when there was a commotion outside.

Yao Ji pushed the window to see that it was already dark, two dilapidated lamps were swaying in the night wind, and a team of camels and horses came in the light and shadow.

She looked at it and couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly closed the window tightly.

I only heard the voice of a young girl outside: "Shop, we have a lot of people, can you spare a few more rooms." ”

I didn't hear the owner's voice, only the woman's slightly apologetic laughter: "Distinguished guest, there is a team of distinguished guests in front, this room is really unsuitable, you better squeeze it." ”

"Okay, okay, don't be embarrassed for the store, squeeze it, squeeze it, it's just one night's thing, and we'll be on our way tomorrow." It is a neutral voice, rooted and extremely powerful.

The little girl seemed to sigh, and reluctantly said, "Okay, okay, then listen to you, shopkeeper, hurry up and get food, I'm starving." ”

The woman smiled and said, "The guest just goes into the house to rest, and when the meal is ready, the villain will bring the guest to the house." ”

Then there was the sound of thumping footsteps, the sound of the door slamming violently, and it took a long time to quiet down.

Yao Qi quietly listened to the movement outside, and it was not until there was no other movement outside that her tense mind relaxed.

This is really a narrow road, a few days ago they were still talking about the origin of the so-called holy envoy, and today they actually met in this fifth beacon.

I don't know what purpose they came here for, and whether the attack on Changle County has anything to do with them.

She thought about it, couldn't sit still, and opened the door with a probe, wanting to see the situation.

She was startled, and turned her head to see Han Changdui and Meng Sui, she patted her heart, and said fearfully: "Meng Sui, people are scary, scared to death." ”

Han Changwan sat next to the dining table and said lightly: "I know that you can't bear it and want to come out to see the excitement." ”

Yao Qi sighed and asked rhetorically: "Don't you like to watch the excitement?" ”

Han Changwan smiled faintly, didn't follow Yao Qi's words, just looked at the food table lightly, and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid there will be something tonight, you can go with me to see Xu Xiangli later." ”

Yao Ji frowned, puzzled: "Childe is saying that these people are not good." ”

Han Changdui was silent, just nodded.

Yao Qi pursed his lips: "Since the person who came is not good, then not only should I tell Xu Xiangli, but also let people keep an eye on the movements of these people." ”

Han Changdui nodded and said in a deep voice: "I have already instructed Gu Chen and a few of them, keep an eye on the mute girl and the old man, Meng Suiqi will also stay, and you will come with me to find Xu Xiangli in a while." ”

Yao Qi frowned and whispered: "Childe, Xu Xiangli has never seen us, why should he believe us." ”

Han Changdui said: "First, we have the letterhead of Changle County Cheng in our hands, and second, Xu Xiangli is the military officer of the Fifth Feng, listening to what Helian Wenyuan said, this person is upright and cautious, I think, for this kind of thing, he would rather believe it than believe it." ”

Yao Qi pursed his dry lips and pondered: "Childe, I'm afraid that he will be too cautious and treat us as Turkic spies, and arrest us together, but it will be a bad thing." ”
