Chapter 309: Lake City
If you start from Wu'an City and go to Shihu Pass, it will take more than a month to speed up the horse, and if you rush at this speed, it will take about 40 days to reach Shihu Pass.
Since the beginning of his departure, Li Xiaolin carefully arranged the size of the itinerary, guessing the true identity of this secret envoy in his heart, and on the other hand, letting his henchmen take care of and protect him, but after a month, he learned some strange things from his subordinates.
Among his people, some people recognized who the young woman who accompanied the secret envoy was, and it was said that the Oiran of the Drunken Immortal Tower in Heping Mountain City looked like a god, but there were rumors that the Oiran had died not long ago, and the body seemed to have run away for no reason.
The subordinates who often patronized the Drunken Immortal Building were sure that the woman was the Oiran of the Drunken Immortal Building, and the other party had exactly the same name as the Oiran, but Li Xiaolin didn't want to care so much.
It was very easy to explain this kind of thing, and he could make up ten stories at will, such as the secret envoy who fell in love with the Oiran, but did not want to be too ostentatious, so he secretly arranged this strange story to ransom the Oiran and keep it by his side.
But what Li Xiaolin cared about was the true relationship between the Oiran and the secret envoy, the secret envoy was young and vigorous, and it was natural to bring a beautiful woman with him, but in the past ten days, he had never seen the secret envoy and the woman have too much intimacy, and even slept in two tents.
However, what is even more strange is that he can see at a glance that the secret envoy has a bad idea of this woman, although the other party tries his best to cover it up, but the man is extremely keen in this regard, and he can see the other party's hesitation and hesitation.
And that Luo Huainan, no matter how you look at it, has already secretly promised the secret envoy that Li Xiaolin doesn't understand why these two people have to maintain this kind of proportion as thin as window paper, and there is this doubt, not only him, but all the escort team have similar confusion.
"Chief, what do you think of the matter between the envoy and the woman?" The pioneer officer approached Li Xiaolin's side and asked softly, turning his head from time to time to look into the carriage behind him, paying attention to the movement in the carriage.
Li Xiaolin glanced at the other party coldly: "Don't ask."
In fact, he already had a more reasonable guess in his heart.
The vanguard officer said, "Chief, I think, maybe we were wrong from the beginning, that little lady is actually General Mo's woman, and this secret envoy just sent this woman to the front line to warm General Mo's bed."
Li Xiaolin didn't speak, this was actually his guess, and he felt that this was the answer.
But in this way, the situation is a little complicated, General Mo's woman fell in love with the secret envoy, and that kid also had an attitude of being ready to move, if something really happened to the two of them, and the top blamed them, would their escorts be unlucky?
But it was the former lieutenant who ordered the escort of the secret envoy, how could the former lieutenant send a woman to his son and make such a big move? The identity of the envoy must have been unusual.
Perhaps, we should find an opportunity to hint at them, so as not to have more rights and wrongs after the incident.
"How long are we from Lake City?" Li Xiaolin asked.
"Half a day."
Li Xiaolin sighed, frowned slightly, and said in his heart that he was finally going to Hucheng, and he just hoped that he would not encounter difficulties and troubles.
The Taishou of Hucheng is a Qianhao under Yan Jinzhong, and Yan Jinzhong is a mortal enemy with the Mo Party in the court, and when Mo Liangsheng is still in the court, he can fight with him on the bright side, and after Mo Liangsheng retreated, Yan Dang was much more arrogant than before.
Today's Taiwei Sun Li is Mo Liangsheng's protégé, although he is now in a high position, but most of the military power under his hands is still Mo Liangsheng's sons, it is said that since the disaster of Dongying, Sun Li's attitude towards the dispute between the two parties in the DPRK and China has become very ambiguous, and it seems that he intends to develop his own power.
These major events in the court, Li Xiaolin, as the commander of the capital, only heard that the master of his master obeys the orders of the Mo family, and he is naturally a member of the Mo family.
"Go and talk to the envoy about this." Li Xiaolin commanded.
"Yes!" The pioneer officer turned around, went to the carriage behind, said a few words to the people in the car, and then immediately returned to Li Xiaolin's side, with a confused expression,
"Master Su said, what's the matter with him?"
"What?" Li Xiaolin glanced behind him in surprise, unable to figure it out.
Do you have nothing to fear?
Could it be that the secret order that the secret envoy wants to convey does not come from Mrs. Mo, but from His Majesty, and Mrs. Mo is just a microphone for arranging the itinerary, which is why he is so unscrupulous?
As soon as he thought of this, Li Xiaolin's heart suddenly stabilized, and he nodded vigorously: "That's okay, hurry up and get there before dark!"
……
The carriage swayed and moved forward slowly, Su Lin sat in the car with his eyes closed, and Tianzun sat beside him.
He deliberately arranged for Luo Huainan to separate the two cars from himself, so as not to be upset and unable to control it.
In fact, before leaving, Su Lin had already thought of a way to suppress his desires, as long as he used the iron pieces left by the Ant Immortal Hook Jade and the Red Dust Immortal to cut his desires for Luo Huainan and seal them, he would be able to return to normal.
But after thinking about it, this extremely strong desire now is actually an excellent environment for cultivating the Vajra Six Extinction Buddha Sutra, so Su Lin temporarily did not use the ant immortal hook jade, but instead relied on his own will to forcibly suppress his desires, and adopted the most simple way of breaking his thoughts suggested by Tianzun - the head of the conversation.
Before the crossing, Su Lin had heard of it, but he had always felt that the head of the conversation was a self-deception and self-torture method of deceiving himself into hallucinations, what "Who is chanting Buddha?" "Can a dog have Buddha nature?" And so on, it is nothing more than to let yourself fall into a logical loop, and finally let the brain deceive itself into success, entering a state of "enlightenment" that gives up thinking.
But Tianzun said that the Shenhuatou is a really effective cultivation method, but it has nothing to do with the realm of cultivation, it is another kind of practice, simply put, it is to see yourself clearly, and see yourself thoroughly now.
Since Tianzun said so, Su Lin kept asking himself a question by breaking the casserole to the end, and what he participated in was his lust for Luo Huainan.
Su Lin didn't know if the way he kept asking questions, constantly giving first impression answers, and then asking new questions in the answers was correct, but the effect was very significant.
Now as long as he doesn't see Luo Huainan, just thinking of the other party in his mind, his body and mind can already remain calm and no longer crazy.
But occasionally, he would also see a monotonous hallucination: everything around him would become a blank blank paper, and only three black Chinese characters [Luo Huai Nan] would be left in front of him.
The three men are as real as the title on the blank PPT, but they can't see any meaning, and they only appear for a moment, and when Su Lin wants to look at it again, the three black characters in the pale world will all disappear, and everything in front of him will return to normal.
This made Su Lin feel a little nervous, but because the effect of suppressing *** was really significant, he decided to unswervingly continue to "participate" until the sequelae of time and space exchange were completely wiped out.
His idea of choosing this way is very simple, if he is crazy when he sees Huainan's name, then it is obviously much safer and more reliable than the unreasonable desire to encroach, just seeing the three-word title of PPT.
After all, there is a difference between neuropathy and neurosis, and a neuropathy that thinks of yourself as a mushroom on a rainy day is always much cuter and more likable than a neuropathy that imagines itself as a butcher on a rainy night.
"Master Su, Lake City has arrived." The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the pioneer officer poked his head in and reminded him softly.
Su Lin didn't raise his head and said, "You don't have to tell me, do you?"
"No, sir...... You, it's better for you to come out and take a look, something is wrong with Lake City."
Su Lin finally raised his eyelids, and he could hear the vanguard officer's voice trembling, trembling violently.
"Get out of the way."
Su Lin frowned, lowered his head and got out of the carriage, standing on the carriage and looking ahead.
Su Lin saw a large number of displaced people, and the number was much more than in Wu'an City.
They were scrawny, but their eyes were sharp, and they meditated in a double-sided posture facing the gate of the lake city, their hands and feet pierced with short wooden stakes.
Under their buttocks, there is a blanket of flesh made of rotting corpses, the lowest layer has liquefied and smelly, the top layer is still fresh, this corpse platform is square, flat, at a glance,
It resembles an altar.
