The convoy drove out of Wuguan, and the field of Pingchuan was in sight, and there were still some fireworks near the pass, but the deeper it went, the more desolate it became, until it turned into a wild Gobi that was forbidden by birds and beasts.

The old dart master Yang Chao rode a horse and walked in the front, chatting with the injury of the first time he went to Liangzhou, chatting a little gossip:

"The girl over there in Liangzhou has a special taste, like Brother She's body, she really doesn't like it over there, but it hurts a weak scholar like my brother. In the past, the young owner was walking darts in Liangzhou, and I didn't know how many girls were targeted by the king of the mountain......"

"Oh? And what else is there? ”

"Not really. If it weren't for the good martial arts of the young owner, it is estimated that he would have been robbed by female bandits by now, and he would have been the prime minister of the village for several times......"

……

It's all messy nonsense, and the night terrors are all in their ears, but they don't have the heart to say a lot of old Yang's at the moment.

The night terror hall is dressed as an ordinary dart master, sitting outside the rear carriage, and the well-fed and well-fed birds leaned on the side, looking satisfied with the appearance of 'eating lamb legs and dying at night'.

In the carriage, the Queen Mother leaned on the couch, her expression still with a little bit of weakness that I saw pitiful; Hongyu held a bowl of white porridge, blew it with a spoon, and then came to the mouth of the Queen Mother:

"Mother, eat more......"

Fan Qinghe sat next to him, seriously giving the Queen Mother a pulse, and her brows were tightly locked for a long time without speaking.

Dongfang Liren sat opposite and waited, and after a long time, he asked:

"How is the situation of the Queen Mother?"

"Hmm......" Fan Qinghe thought about it a little: "The toxicity is still there, but the body is very stable, much better than expected...... However, there is no cure for the dragon miasma, and it is impossible to get better on its own, so we still have to rush to the gate as soon as possible......"

Night Terror Hall turned around and answered: "You can definitely detoxify with the fire map, let the Queen Mother learn to try it first, as long as she learns to recover slowly, at least there is no worry about her life." ”

Seeing this, Dongfang took out the picture of the bath fire that he carried with him from his arms, and came to the Queen Mother:

"Queen Mother, you have learned the Jade Bone Diagram before, and the doorway of the Bathing Fire Diagram is exactly the same, you should get started quickly, you learn to try?"

The Queen Mother took over the treasure she had treasured for several years, and her heart was still a little tangled, and after thinking about it, she looked at it seriously, and said:

"This palace should be fine, but my brain is a little messy, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it......"

Dongfang Li knew the hardships of the Queen Mother over the years, and in order to make the Queen Mother happy, he comforted him very considerately:

"This thing can't be rushed, the Queen Mother can relax and watch it slowly, don't take this as a cure. I have always wanted to come to Liangzhou to see, but unfortunately there is no chance, this time we should come to Liangzhou to relax, maybe we can also go to the outside of the customs to see a different scenery, this shopping, the body will naturally get better, and when we have had enough, we will go back to the capital. ”

“……”

Seeing that the baby goddaughter had no intention of turning around and letting her go back to the capital, the Queen Mother naturally couldn't ask for it, pursed her lips and smiled, and after drinking two sips of porridge, she seriously pondered the fire bathing map.

After Dongfang left the people by his side for a while, the Empress Dowager was very serious, so she didn't bother anymore, got up and came to the outside of the carriage, moved the bird to the side, sat in front of the night terror hall with her legs in the air, glanced at the land at dusk, thought about it and asked:

"That's how you used to dart?"

The night terror hall saber was placed at his side, and he held a horsewhip in his hand, because the queen mother's condition was stable and there was no big problem in learning the fire map, and the big stone that had been pressed on her heart for several days was also put down a lot, showing a smile:

"Almost. However, in the past, darts were not so calm, and if you walked a few dozen miles, you could encounter a wave of horse thieves who blocked the road and asked for money, and if you were unlucky, you would encounter sandstorms and wolves. The wild wolves in the northwest are different from the jackals in the Central Plains, they can grow to more than two hundred catties, and they are dozens of large groups of ......."

Dongfang Liren originally sat with her back straight, subconsciously maintaining the posture of the queen, but when she found that the dart masters around her were very involved in the role, she slowly relaxed and propped her hands on the edge of the carriage, her boots dangling in the air, and listened carefully to the story of the journey told by Night Terror.

The last time Night Terror Hall was kissed by Clumsy, they were actually a couple who confessed to each other, thinking about it, they just stretched their hands behind Big Ben's waist, touched Bird's head, and then put their palms on their waists.

Dongfang Liren's eyes moved, and he originally wanted to be fierce, but seeing that the spirit of the Night Terror Hall finally relaxed, he thought about what he didn't see when he didn't find out, and turned around and asked Hongyu to hand out a jade flute, which was put to his mouth:

"Woo~woo...... Woo~......"

The desolate melody sounded from the rear of the convoy, accompanied by the soft sound of horse bells and wheels, which instantly made the originally silent convoy feel a little more exclusive to the northwest land.

And Fan Qinghe in the carriage, hearing the familiar Liang Zhou ballad, also came to be interested, probed from the window of the carriage, and looked at the camels following behind the convoy:

"Lao Jiu, get my pipa."

"Okay King."

“？”

Fan Qinghe pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and after reaching out to take the painted pipa, he sat in the carriage and played along:

"Bell~Bell......"

Night Terror Hall smiled, remembering the carefree times when he used to walk darts, and wanted to put his hand to his mouth and blow along.

But he put his right hand on the big moon, and he was stupid and didn't kill him, and it would be a pity to let go, so he slapped his palm and beat it to the rhythm.

Smack~Slap~......

As a result, he didn't shoot twice, and he couldn't bear to be stupid, so he beat the flute and gave him an elbow.

The Queen Mother secretly looked at the scenery outside in the carriage, and when she heard the night terror hall snorting, she knew that she was leaving the prince again, and said:

"What are you doing when you leave someone? He's hurt ......."

"Ahem...... It's okay, it should be, the Queen Mother has a good rest, and I will play the tune too...... Woo~......"

Several people passed the boring time on the journey in this way, and the convoy also marched towards the northwest day and night.

Because there was nothing left in the wasteland, it was too close to Yunzhou to even be seen by horse thieves, and there was nothing worth mentioning on the road.

Night Terror Hall walked once in April, and was familiar with the route and the location of the camp, and during the day he hurried to play tunes and tell stories, and at night, he set up camp in a safe place, and the women in the group rested in the carriage, and he took turns with the black master to keep watch.

Dongfang Liren and the Queen Mother are the first time to come to Liangzhou, I have read a lot of deeds in books about the barbarians in Liangzhou that are difficult to educate, at first I still had a little negative impression, and after a few days of watching the calm wilderness, my heart gradually calmed down, and I felt that Liangzhou was not much different from other states except for the desolate point.

But Liangzhou is Liangzhou after all, a den of bandits since ancient times, and a wild place where ruthless people have come out in large numbers.

On the first day of walking out of the wasteland, the two royal nobles who had no waves in their hearts saw what it was to be a barbarian in Liangzhou.

The Night Terror Hall set out from Wuguan, passed through more than two hundred miles of wasteland, and the first supply point it arrived at was Shuyuan Town, which was located in the southeast of Liangzhou.

Suyuan Town is located at the end of the wasteland, a small town of less than a thousand people, from here to the north to the side, to cross the barren bone beach, stretching for more than a thousand miles, the horse bandits are rampant and difficult to walk, but the distance is the closest, there are not many caravans that have entered here, and the remuneration for the dart master is also very high, and the night terror hall is a familiar way.

And there is a dart game in Suyuan Town.,It's called Suyuan Dart Bureau.,Because it's a peer.,And the dart board of the father-in-law of the Night Terror Hall has some communication.,Each other's dart masters go to each other's territory.,Generally take care of a few times.。

Three days later, at noon, when a stream a few feet wide appeared at the end of the wasteland, Night Terror Hall knew that it was almost there, and came to the front of the group:

"Lao Yang, you go to the town to find Hong Darthead, and inquire about the forces in the Barren Bone Beach, don't enter the Barren Bone Beach and be surrounded by horse thieves, which disturbs the nobles......"

Although Night Terror Hall has only left Liangzhou for half a year, this time is enough for the horse thieves who are wandering around for several batches of horse bandits.

The more than ten people brought by the Night Terror Hall, although if they are released casually, they can destroy a small horse bandit gang, but if they go all the way and kill all the way, the news will have to spread all over Liangzhou in less than three days, and it will not necessarily be ordinary horse bandits when they come, so they still have to find out the situation first, and avoid it as much as possible.

When Yang Chao heard the order, he drove his horse away from the team and ran to the northwest.

The night terror hall rode a horse and continued to set off with the team, and after walking less than two miles, he saw a small town surrounded by a loess wall, with more than 100 buildings in it, and some people could be faintly seen walking around in it.

And Yang Chao, who was supposed to run to the town's dart bureau to say hello, stopped at the entrance of the town and looked at a wooden stake inserted at the entrance of the town.

In the carriage in the rear, the Queen Mother originally wanted to see the situation in the town, but she was immediately pulled back by Fan Qinghe beside her and closed the curtain.

Dongfang Liren frowned, got out of the carriage and came to the Night Terror Hall, frowning:

"What's that?"

"Dead people."

Night Terror frowned and looked at it, then raised his hand to pull Dongfang Liren up, sat down behind him, and Pegasus came to the entrance of the town.

Before he could get closer, he saw a log with a thick bowl at the entrance to the town, on which hung a heavily decomposed corpse, with his arms cut off, and countless flies buzzing around, and his original face was no longer visible.

Dongfang Liren had seen a big scene, and he didn't show too many different colors, but he didn't stare at it carefully, but just frowned and asked:

"Who is this?"

After carefully examining the corpse for a few moments, Night Terror asked:

"Is this the head of the dart?"

"It's kind of like it in terms of height."

Yang Chao squinted and looked carefully for a moment, and found a town shepherd hurrying by with a few sheep's footsteps, so he asked:

"Fellow, who is this hanging? Who hung it? ”

After that, he threw out a hanging copper coin.

Seeing this, the shepherd stopped, looked back a few times, and whispered:

"It's the town's dart head. Last month, Hong Dart Head was walking darts outside, and bumped into Ma Siye's people in the Black Blind Ridge, and didn't give enough money to kill a few people, and it didn't take long for Ma Siye to come over with a hundred and ten people, burn down the dart board, and take over the town, and now this is under the control of Ma Siye......"

Night Terror frowned and asked:

"Who is Fourth Master Ma?"

Yang Chao frowned and thought for a while: "It is estimated that Ma Rulong of the Flower Horse Gang, who used to rob in Liangdongliu, we also bumped into it once the year before last, that is, the wave of horse thieves who rode a miscellaneous horse with a dozen people, asked for 10,000 taels of silver for the passage, and finally sent away for ten taels of silver......

Ten taels of silver is converted according to purchasing power, which is ten thousand yuan, which is by no means a small amount for the previous Night Terror Hall, so I remembered it at the time, and my face sank a little:

"That Ma Lao Si doesn't seem to be fat, and suddenly dares to blatantly enter the town to kill people, and collect money here, is it a big gang?"

"If you dare to be so cross, there must be someone to support you, but I don't know which one."

Dongfang Liren saw how chaotic Liangzhou was, and after listening for a while, he interjected:

"Just ask."
