Chapter 45: Rescue in the Desert

Zhanjiaying is a slope from Bibo City to Haixi. When Wei Yangyang was about to arrive at the Zhanjia camp, he dismounted, led Meow, and quietly walked over. By this time it was already dark, and she had walked about a mile when she heard the sound of fighting. She ordered Meow to lie down on the spot, pick up her knife and bow and arrows, and march forward in the dark. Today is the end of the month, so the moon is dim. But she still took advantage of a little moonlight to see the scene clearly. There was a river of blood on the ground, and there were already a dozen men and two dozen camels, and the rest were still fighting. The two sides of the war, the inferior side looks like a caravan, and the people on the other side are dressed up similarly to the two killers just now, so they are naturally the accomplices of the two.

Wei Yangyang was in the dark, quietly set up a bow, and released an arrow first. Then she shifted her position and expertly unleashed another arrow, each of which quickly shifted its position as fast as a bolt of lightning. Those killers were a little scared, they didn't expect that the other party still had helpers, but in this dark night, I don't know how many helpers there were. But at this time, the moon hid in the clouds, and the night was even darker, and it was impossible to see the faces of both the enemy and the enemy. Wei Yangyang didn't show up, she knew that the killers were all dressed in black, so she only drew the bow to shoot the killer, and didn't shoot people in other colored clothes. She remembered that she had shot a total of nineteen arrows, and in a few moments, everyone had fallen in a pool of blood.

But instead of exposing herself easily, she took out a dagger and examined them one by one, starting with the corpses closest to her. If you encounter a killer who has not yet lost her breath, make up for it, and see if he is dead when you meet the caravan. Finally, she found a man who was still breathing, lying on top of another person, desperately protecting the person below her. She patted the man's face with her hand: "Hey, wake up." At this time, the moon came out again, and the moonlight sprinkled on the man's face, which was the attendant of the young man Lu during the day. She didn't understand at all, how could the other party appear here, why did the killer kill him?

Ling Quan was slapped by Wei Yangyang and woke up, he didn't see clearly whether the other party was friend or foe, he struggled to stand up, and scolded while beating: "You let go of our son!" Wei Yangyang was confused by him: "I didn't arrest your son-in-law, what about others?" ”

Ling Quan heard her speak, looked at her carefully in the moonlight, and only then did he recognize that she was the woman who had been drinking with Shen Mingyuan in the afternoon, and he hurriedly pointed to his body: "Our son is here, Miss Xian, please save him!" Only then did Wei Yangyang see that Lu Gongzi was protected by him, but he was also injured. She took out the trauma medicine from her bosom and said, "I have medicine here, you can quickly apply it to you and your master." ”

Ling Quan thanked her, untied Shen Mingyuan's clothes, and began to give him medicine. Wei walked around, looking for each killer to see if there was anything interesting to collect. This is her little fun after every fight, after killing the other party, she always has to leave something as a souvenir, when she has nothing to do, open it to see, recall how brave she was when she fought, and be proud.

When she turned around and saw Ling Quan carefully rubbing Shen Mingyuan's medicine, she walked over impatiently and said, "Hey, if you're so slow, how long will it take, in case the enemy comes again?" Dawdling! With that, she snatched the medicine bottle, ripped Shen Mingyuan's shirt open, and began to give him medicine. Ling Quan knew that this girl was bold, but he didn't expect her to be so bold that she dared to face the body of a strange man directly.

Wei Yangyang saw that he was there, and said angrily: "You go and clean up quickly, take your valuables, I have to leave after taking the medicine!" I won't wait for you then. That Ling Quan was sent to wait for Shen Mingyuan since he was a child, he was a small internal prisoner, although he had also followed Shen Mingyuan to many places, but it was the first time he came to this terrible desert. Listening to this fairy lady's tone, she was very familiar with this place, so Ling Quan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and was willing to listen to whatever she said, and hurriedly went to pack her things. They were originally disguised as a group of silk merchants, but at this moment, he didn't care about those precious silks, so he only took out tiger charms, waist tags and other things to prove his identity, and casually pulled a piece of cloth and wrapped it.

Wei Yangyang's hands and feet were very quick, and after taking the medicine, he issued a summons, and Meow ran over to her. She said to Ling Quan, "Quick, drag your master up and put him on the horse." Ling Quan listened to her instructions and hurriedly moved Shen Mingyuan, but he was also injured and couldn't use his strength. Wei Yangyang thought he was slow, so he leaned down, pulled Shen Mingyuan's upper body up, resisted his right shoulder, and then threw him on the horse. She moves crisply and quickly, which is obviously what she does on the battlefield.

Ling Quan was surprised that she was a woman, but she could carry Shen Mingyuan, and felt sorry for King Qinghe being treated so roughly by him, so he shouted loudly: "Miss, Miss, lighter." My son-in-law was injured. Wei Yang gave him a blank look: "I know he's injured." Long-winded. On such a dark and windy night, when he met such a strange girl, Ling Quan was so frightened by her that he didn't dare to make a sound. She asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" When she saw that the other party nodded, she pointed at Meow and said, "Then you can ride up." Ling Quan was about to get on his horse and asked again, "Then, what should you do?" Wei Yangyang pointed around, very impatient: "These horses and camels have been killed, the three of us only have this horse, and the two of you are injured again, of course let the two of you sit first." Hurry up! Ling Quan was afraid that she would leave their master and servant alone if she was angry, so she had to do so. So she drew up her horse and went north.

She had been walking for an hour, and the sky was getting brighter, and when she came across a ruin in front of her, she stopped and said, "Quick, bring your master down and drag him to the cave." Ling Quan saw that the entire ruins were made of sand, and there were dozens of walls, apparently artificially made, which had been barren for a long time. He was a little uneasy, and asked again, "Miss Xian, what kind of place is this?" Wei Yangyang said: "This is the castle of the ancient country of Poling, but this ancient country is extinct, so this place is deserted." We can't go any further, or we'll be sunburned to death by the daytime. The entrance to the cave was a gap in a collapsed palace in the ancient city, large enough for one to walk in with their heads down and escape the scorching midday sun. Ling Quan slowly helped Shen Mingyuan off the horse. Wei Yangyang saw that he was clumsy, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you go in first, I'll drag him." Ling Quan thanked him, and walked into the cave first, cleaning up a place for Shen Mingyuan to lie down.

Wei Yangyang didn't "pity the fragrance and cherish the jade" at all, and roughly dragged Shen Mingyuan back. A sharp pain in the wound on Shen Mingyuan's chest woke him up. He felt his hands under his armpits, dragging him along, and he didn't know whether he was friend or foe. He didn't dare to open his eyes, pretended not to wake up, and listened carefully, but there was no other person's voice around. He was dragged a few more steps, and when he saw the man stop to rest, he used his last bit of strength, supported the ground with his left hand and exerted force with his right hand, jumped up, threw the man down under him, firmly grabbed the opponent's neck with both hands, and said, "Who sent you to kill me?" ”

"Kill you?" Wei Yangyang was pounced on by him, and he was so angry that he died. It's really capsized in the gutter, and I've grown so big, and I haven't lost such a person. I didn't expect that this person looked well-dressed and seriously injured, and he could still raid himself, if he was known by the eighth child, it would be strange if he didn't smile crookedly. Wei Yangyang angrily pulled off his face towel and said loudly: "What killed you, I saved you, you see clearly, I am a little fairy, the little fairy who drank with you yesterday afternoon, why did I kill you?" ”

Shen Mingyuan was counted down by her, and then he saw that it was her. The toss just now had exhausted all his strength, so he had to let go of his hand. Luckily, it's her. But he still doesn't feel at ease, this girl suddenly appeared on the street at noon yesterday to fight with someone, and now she happened to appear to save herself, could it be that her purpose was discovered, and someone deliberately sent her to approach him? He still refused to let go, and weakly asked, "How did you find me?" Wei Yangyang was about to answer his question, Ling Quan walked out of the cave, saw him, and shouted excitedly: "Childe, are you awake?" Shen Mingyuan heard his familiar voice, and made sure that he was safe for the time being, and his tense nerves relaxed, coupled with the fact that he had just exhausted his strength, he only felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person lay on Wei Yangyang's body, unable to move.

Wei Yangyang was clinging to him and was forced to lie on the sand. Suddenly, she felt a vibration in the sand, so she tilted her head, put her ear to the ground, and listened carefully, and said, "There are more than twenty people." It's coming to us, not from my family. Shen Minghuang didn't believe it: "How do you know? Wei Yangyang didn't bother to answer his question, and only said: "We can't beat each other now, if you believe me, don't make a sound." With that, he pushed him away from him and kicked him into the hole. Ling Quan also hurriedly entered the cave.

Shen Mingyuan was kicked by her from outside the cave to inside the cave, and he touched the wound again, and he just wanted to beat Wei Yangyang in pain. But when I heard her say it was serious, I didn't dare to speak out, so I could only hold back the pain. It depends on how the girl copes with each other. Ling Quan wanted to drag him into the depths of the palace, but the horse's hooves "got it", and the other party had already arrived. He had to stop what he was doing and didn't move.

When Yuan Shukuo, the governor of Houwan County, arrived with people, he only saw such a scene: Wei Yangyang's Wujin horse was gnawing on the turf, and her Yidebao knife was thrown in the sand at random, shining with a silvery white light under the sunlight. And the owner of the treasure and the sword, sitting on the ground, sang a song leisurely: "The soldiers are brave, and they are afraid of the enemy; The Wei family is loyal, protect my rivers and mountains. This was originally a nursery rhyme that children in Haixi would sing, but Wei Yangyang deliberately pulled his throat and sang it very ugly, and with the lyrics, it seemed to be satirizing Yuan Shukuo. Shen Mingyuan would never have imagined that this girl who spoke crisply could sing so badly? Listening to her sing is simply a kind of torture for people. He was already in pain, and then he was stimulated by Wei Yangyang's song, and he really wanted to jump up and cover her mouth and tell her to shut up.

One of Yuan Shukuo's military attachΓ©s couldn't listen to it anymore, and pointed at her and said, "Xiao Nizi, stop singing, our admiral wants to ask you a few words." Wei Yangyang picked up a small pebble from the ground, didn't even look at it, threw it with his right hand, and threw it at the military attachΓ©'s face. Fortunately, the military attache was agile and dodged to the left side to avoid it, otherwise, it would have been a big joke if he was hit by a little girl. The military attache was so angry that he was about to draw his sword, but Yuan Shukuo stopped him. This Governor Yuan is a good person, so he really stood there, waiting for Wei Yangyang to finish singing. Wei Yangyang continued to sing: "Say goodbye to your lover, kill happily; Horse leather shroud, mother is not strange. ”

Everyone inside and outside the entrance of the cave endured the torture, and finally waited until Wei Yangyang finally finished singing the song. Before Yuan Shukuo could speak, Wei Yangyang was dissatisfied: "Admiral Yuan, your subordinates are so rude, in this Haixi, there are still people who dare to interrupt me singing?" Hum. For her behavior of a wicked person suing first, Yuan Shukuo was speechless. However, when she saw the Yide knife she placed on the ground, she was afraid that she was using a reflection to convey a message to her companions, so she held back her anger and said to her subordinates: "Do you know who this is? This is the pearl of Mr. Wei's palm, Miss Wei. ”

Shen Mingyuan's heart suddenly moved, the Wei family was able to give birth to a son, and the whole dynasty knew about it, even if some high-ranking officials looked down on Wei Shuping as a martial artist, but they didn't know how much they envied him for having fifteen sons. Even, there are really officials who go to Wei Bingge to quietly inquire, what are their Wei family's eating habits on weekdays? Wei Bingge only said that Haixi people love to eat sour things such as jealousy and sour dates. Those people really began to learn to be jealous, just thinking that they could have children from generation to generation like the Wei family, and give birth to seven wolves and eight tigers. He heard Miss Na Xian call the person who came as Admiral Yuan, and it must have been Yuan Shukuo, who was in charge of the defense of Bibo City. But Yuan Shukuo actually said that she was the daughter of the general guard? How could the general guard have a daughter? This is not a play that the two of them colluded with each other to play for themselves, right?

The general had obviously just been transferred to Houwan County, so he showed an incredible look on his face, and asked the same question as Shen Mingyuan: "Wei, the daughter of the general guard?" Yuan Shukuo explained: "Yes, the only daughter of Wei Zongbing, the Jade Rabbit Fairy in Haixi City. You all have to remember, the next time you see Miss Wei, be polite. Everyone replied, "Yes." ”

Yuan Shukuo said to Wei Yangyang again: "Xiao Nizi, don't be angry, let me ask you a few words, have you seen that there is a convoy, it should be selling silk, there are about forty or fifty people, passing by here?" Wei Yangyang asked rhetorically: "Forty or fifty people? ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Is the man leading the group wearing a silver-gray, oh no, darker than silver-gray, and I don't know what color of the robe is, with a silver crown of green gems?" Yuan Shukuo was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's them, where do you see him going?" ”

What Wei Yangyang described was Shen Mingyuan's outfit at the moment. His heart was pounding, and he didn't know if this girl would betray herself. He didn't dare to move, for fear that Yuan Shukuo and them would find out. After thinking about it, if they came over, they didn't even have a weapon on them, it was really bad. complained that he was not careful enough, why was he chased and killed by two groups of people just after he left Bibo City?

He only heard Wei Yangyang say again: "Of course I saw it, and they asked me for directions." This man looks very pompous, but his attitude is very bad, and I told him in a fit of anger that he should go," She stopped halfway through: "Governor Yuan, it's worth your personal trip, he is a very important prisoner?" Yuan Shukuo hurriedly followed her words: "Yes, yes, he is a prisoner of the imperial court, tell me, what road did you point them to?" ”

Wei Yangyang thought to himself: Are you a fool for me? If he was really a prisoner, how dare he be stupid and swagger to Haixi with a caravan? Since you still think that he has forty or fifty people, it is obvious that you have not seen the corpses and silk left in the Zhanjia camp. Since you haven't seen it, then don't blame me for blackmailing you. Thinking of this, she said, "Oh? An important prisoner, then, the bounty for him will not be less? ”

Yuan Shukuo was anxious, if he was driven to Haixi by Shen Mingyuan, he would never have a chance to deal with him again.

But he still pretended to be light on the surface: "Oh, what's the matter, Xiao Nizi has been short of silver recently?" Nizi was originally the usual name for young girls in the Haixi area, and Yuan Shukuo and Wei Shuping were officials in the same dynasty, and they were of the same level, so they could be called Wei Yangyang like this. Wei Yangyang replied to him: "Well, how can there be a reason to find someone to do things without giving money?" The man asked me for directions, but he didn't give me any money, so I showed him a fork in the road, hahahahahaha. She giggled, as if she remembered the way the man looked.

Yuan Shukuo knew that she only wanted some silver, so he said, "Okay, how much do you want?" Wei Yangyang said: "Governor Yuan personally came to catch it, it must be a big fish, I want it," She stretched out the five fingers of her right hand: "Five thousand taels." When she reported the number, everyone was shocked. Yuan Shukuo pointed at her and said, "Five thousand taels? That's how much I get in a year! ”

Wei Yangyang didn't look at him, and said to himself: "Hmph, last time I helped my third brother capture a rebellious Qin criminal, but there was a reward of 10,000 taels of silver." Admiral Yuan, don't bully me for being young and not understanding the market. It's worth your own trip, it's definitely a big fish, I want five thousand taels, not much. Besides, this reward is from the court, not from your money. ”

According to Yuan Shukuang's temper, if others dare to speak to him like this, he must hack the other party to death. But he was afraid that there were people from the Weijia Army nearby and causing some trouble, so he had to order his subordinates: "Take out all the money you have." More than two dozen subordinates thought it strange that he was willing to compromise with a little girl. But thinking about it again, this little girl is actually Wei Shuping's daughter, so she has to take Yuan Shukuo in her eyes. In addition, this is the territory of Haixi Mansion, so it is not surprising that she dares to be so unreasonable. So these people really took out their purses and began to make up silver tickets. However, all they carried were scattered pieces of silver and small silver tickets, and when they came together, they only had more than a thousand taels, which was far from enough.

Yuan Shukuo didn't dare to delay, gritted his teeth, took out a large silver ticket of three thousand taels from his purse, and put it inside. Then, with a stack of silver tickets and some broken silver, he walked up to Wei Yangyang and handed it to her: "Here are four thousand one hundred and twenty-nine taels, which is a lot." We don't have any more. He drew his knife again and drew the pattern of the silver ticket on the sand, and asked, "Is this all right?" ”

Wei Yangyang took the silver ticket and nodded with satisfaction: "Governor Yuan is really happy, I will show the way to the man and let him go to the orange camp." Hahahaha, Orange Camp is the farthest away from Lehai, if he has no water to drink halfway, hahaha. "In the desert, if you run out of water halfway, you will naturally die of thirst. Thinking that those dozens of people might die of thirst, but Wei Yangyang laughed and trembled, even the generals present who were murderous felt that this little girl was too ruthless.

When they received the news, they immediately mounted and prepared to go to the orange camp in pursuit. Yuan Shukuo glanced back at Wei Yangyang, only to see her holding the silver ticket, jumping happily in the sun.
