Chapter 295: What Should Come Will Come After All
"Bad people never think they're doing bad things, is it true?" Lu Jin said he didn't understand.
"Wicked people are called wicked because whatever they do, they are self-centered. In their view, what can bring benefits to themselves is a good thing, and what cannot bring benefits to themselves must be a bad thing. In the eyes of these people, there are only endless desires, and all shame, morality, and righteousness are all dispensable things, and they discard them aside." Wan Yanxi explained.
Lu Jin pondered: "That person named Helan Batu, he seems to have given up the chance to survive in the end, and let you kill him, does he have unspeakable secrets and unspeakable hardships?"
"My sister is so smart." Wan Yanxi praised, which made Lu Jin a little embarrassed.
"I also just remembered that my father once drank with Helan Badu, and I boiled water and made tea next to me. After the two got drunk, he said that he had a son who was a few years younger than me, and he was sick in bed all the year round, and as long as anyone could cure his son's illness, he would be willing to die for the other party. My dad also drank too much at the time, and said with a smile: 'If it was to betray me, would you do the same?' Helan Badu said without hesitation: 'As long as you can save your son's life, you have no fear of killing Shan Yu, let alone you are a small big man."
"At that time, the two of them were talking and laughing, but I just thought I heard a joke, who knew that he would still hurt my father." Wan Yanxi said that when she was sad, she couldn't help but shed tears again.
Lu Jin took out a handkerchief and handed it to her: "Now it's just a guess, if we don't go back and investigate, maybe there will be new discoveries."
Wan Yanxi wiped away her tears, raised her head and took a deep breath: "I can't go back, the royal court in Beihu is different from the town where you live, there are many places to hide in the town, and the royal court is all family-based tents, once you start searching, it is difficult for outsiders to have a place to hide."
"So what should I do, I'm not familiar with this place, I don't know where to go?" Lu Jin ran out of ideas.
Wan Yanxi returned the handkerchief to Lu Jin: "There are two ways to go now, the first is to escape to the depths of the grassland to avoid being captured by the government. It's just that they live in the grass, and looking for them is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and we have too little dry food with us, so if we get lost, we can easily fall into a desperate situation."
"What about the second one?" Lu Jin asked curiously.
Wan Yanxi said softly: "Beihu is looking for trouble with the Dawu Dynasty for no reason, and he is making a big move, I estimate that the Dawu Dynasty will definitely not back down, and will definitely send troops to resist. But who to send, I thought of a man."
"Big Brother Gu?" Lu Jin blurted out.
Wan Yanxi smiled, "That's what I guessed."
"Last time the Dawu Dynasty sent an envoy to Beihu, Big Brother Gu was among them, and this time the border war is tight, I think he will definitely come to help. It's just that the urgent document at the border pass was delivered to the capital, and the emperor gave an order to the elder brother Gu who was far away in the Xileng Kingdom, and he rushed directly to the border pass, and it would be a month later at the earliest." Wan Yanxi analyzed.
Lu Jin was silent, and said for a while: "Then let's go back to the Dawu Dynasty first, I won't die of hunger, I'm afraid I won't live long here."
Wan Yanxi hugged Lu Jin: "Then it's decided, go to bed first, and set off tomorrow morning."
With someone by his side, Lu Jin soon fell asleep.
While sleeping, Lu Jin was woken up by Wan Yanxi: "Sister, it's time to go."
Rubbing his misty sleepy eyes, Lu Jin found that the sky was still dark, and a curved crescent moon appeared in the sky at some point.
"I'm sleepy, it's still early, do you want to sleep for a while?" Lu Jin begged.
Wan Yanxi said solemnly: "The shepherds get up early, once they are found and surrounded, I don't want to hurt the innocent, so it's better to avoid it as soon as possible."
Lu Jin reluctantly got up, the two finished cleaning up, Lu Jin followed Wan Yanxi's prompts, identified the direction according to the position of the Big Dipper, and rode away.
The two of them galloped all the way in the night, and it took a long time before the red sun rose, and the morning glow reflected half of the sky.
They were also lucky enough to meet a herdsman, Wan Yanxi was going to buy some food with silver, but the hostess insisted on not wanting to, and gave them a lot of cheese and air-dried meat, which made the two happy
Overjoyed.
With plenty of food, the two rode until noon before stopping to rest.
The people were sleepy, so they found a shady mound and rested, and set off in the middle of the night.
Walking day and night, two days later, the terrain gradually elevated, and the two of them always galloped in a gentle place, not going to a high place, and the majestic mountains slowly appeared in front of them.
At the foot of the mountain, Lu Jin saw a rare forest on the grassland.
After Yan Xi learned about this situation, he said excitedly: "It shows that we are not lost, find a place to rest, and walk straight south for two days to reach the boundary of the Dawu Dynasty."
Neither of them walked this way, but fortunately, Wan Yanxi heard her father talk about several major road signs, and without much effort, they bypassed the checkpoint of Beihu and successfully left the boundary of Beihu.
Wan Yanxi was also strange: "I heard my father tell me that the cavalry patrolling this section of the place is dense, and it is impossible for ordinary people to easily dodge."
Continuing to the south, Lu Jin saw the camp where the Beihu cavalry was encamped from a distance.
Wan Yanxi suddenly realized: "At the moment of the great enemy, the business travelers have stopped passing, of course they don't need to check frequently."
It took a day for the two to evade the patrolling sentinels, and then they bypassed the barracks, and they hurried through the night until they finally arrived at the county seat at the border pass at dawn.
Hearing the familiar voices of the vendors along the street, Lu Jin felt extremely cordial, and the two found an inn to stay.
The guys at the inn saw that the two of them were dressed in the robes of the Beihu people, but they spoke the local language fluently, especially Lu Jin, who didn't look like Hu people with fine skin and tender meat, so they couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Fortunately, this is the border, and there are constant business trips, and everyone is not surprised, and they did not interrogate too much, so they checked in for the two.
They didn't care about eating, so they took a comfortable hot bath first, quickly took off their clothes and went to bed to sleep beautifully. Along the way, I was tired from eating and sleeping in the open, so I fell asleep.
"Oh no, run quickly, the Beihu people are coming!"
"It's not a good thing, the Beihu people are here!"
"Everyone, run for your life, Beihu's cavalry has surrounded us!"
The two were asleep when the cries of people could be heard outside the window, and the bewildered people ran in a panic on the street.
"What the hell, don't let us get a good night's sleep." Lu Jin sat up and stretched.
Wan Yanxi got up, found the dress of the Dawu Dynasty from the package and put it on: "The one who should come will come after all, let's go out and have a look."
Lu Jin obediently changed into the dress she wore on weekdays and accompanied Wan Yanxi out of the guest room.
When the man at the inn saw the two of them, he was shocked and said, "You don't want to die, the cavalry of Beihu has been killed under the city, you should quickly hide in the house and don't go out."
