Chapter 67: The Same World, All Kinds of People
When the swarthy man heard this, he said with a heaval voice: "In the end, it is a scholar, and the words he says are different, this sentence of carrying a knife and stepping on the rivers and lakes, Lao Tzu listens comfortably, and the little brother will ride a horse?"
Liu Xunxiang looked at this strong horse, a little tempted, and said, "I haven't ridden it, I want to try it." β
A flash of appreciation flashed in Li Shan's eyes, and he continued: "Yang Qiu'er, give your horse to the little brother to try, and you can find the doll behind you." β
"Delle. Yang Qiu'er snorted, flipped off the horse with great dexterity, and handed the reins to Liu Xunxiang.
Liu Xunxiang felt the roughness of the reins in his palm, his heart moved, he jumped like Yang Qiu'er, turned over the horse, and just sat on the back of the horse, the horse immediately raised its front hooves, and the aura in Liu Xunxiang's body instinctively swelled, but he was forced to press it down, and as a result, he was like a mortal without aura, and was thrown to the ground by the horse.
Everyone laughed, but there was no malice in this laughter.
Yang Qiu'er opened her mouth and smiled: "Brother, taming a horse is like conquering a woman, you have to have the means, otherwise you won't be able to ride it." β
These double words made these people laugh inexplicably.
Liu Xunxiang got up and patted the dust on her body, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Ke still doesn't ride." β
Li Shan laughed twice and said, "It's like this for the first time, when Yang Qiu'er rode a horse for the first time, he fell worse than you." Then he pointed to the cart carrying the red goods behind him, and said, "Then the little brother is wronged to sit on the cart." β
Liu Xunxiang nodded, walked straight to the cart, sat on it with both hands, looked left and right, and found that there were a lot of people in this group, about thirty people, and the dart cart carrying the big black boxes like he was sitting on only three cars, and when his spiritual sense moved, he found that these dark boxes were all empty, but these were not important to him, so he didn't care.
Li Shan saw Liu Xunxiang get into the carriage, so he shouted and said, "Let's go, let's go." β
With this shout, the wheel of the dart cart began to turn slowly again, and began to move towards the closed door.
On the way, the bearded Kui San and Yang Qiu'er slowed down their horses, and gradually followed Liu Xunxiang and walked forward.
Yang Qiu'er tugged on the reins and asked, "Brother, where are you going to go this time, have you thought of a good place?" β
Liu Xunxiang shook his head and said: "Mr. Shu once said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. β
Yang Qiu'er looked at Liu Xunxiang, her eyes were full of admiration, she was about the same age as herself, but when she opened her mouth, Mr. said, and Mr. said that he liked it very much.
Yang Qiu'er immediately came to his senses when he heard this, and said: "Why don't you come to our safe dart game, follow us to the dart, the same is to go south and north, I invite you to drink." β
Without waiting for Liu Xunxiang to speak, Kui Sanyi glared at him and said: "Guawa, Mo Zi is foolish, the little brother is a scholar, how can he let him follow our gang of big bosses, and there is no one to talk pickled." Then he said to Liu Xunxiang: "Little brother, don't take it seriously, we don't know a few big words, just talk happily, and when you get to the place, you can study with peace of mind, and in the future, you will be a big official, and I Kui San can also brag with others, and Lao Tzu is also a person who has called a brother and a brother with a big official." β
Liu Xunxiang shook her head and smiled: "Third brother, don't make fun of the little brother." β
"Hey, Shangdao, this third brother is comfortable to hear. Kui San laughed twice, pinched the horse's belly, and left the space to Yang Qiu'er.
Liu Xunxiang smiled, turned his head and asked, "Brother Yang, I don't know where you are going on this trip?"
Yang Qiu'er replied casually: "Go to Yiqu City, haven't you been, it is the location of the sect of the Great Sword Sect, the super sect of our Qin State, I heard that the people walking on the street are all immortals, this time, you have earned it." β
Liu Xunxiang couldn't help but feel a big head for a while, not long after he had just beaten Tianjiao of the Great Sword Sect, this time he was going to someone else's lair again, it seemed that he was in trouble with the Great Sword Sect.
Li Shan glanced back and saw Yang Qiu'er spitting Xingzi telling Liu Xunxiang about the strange things about his dart, Liu Xunxiang also listened with interest, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Kui San next to him also sighed and said, "It's our father and mother who can't stand Yang Qiu'er, what a smart doll, if we had found out earlier, I would have given up this old face and sent him to a private school." β
Li Shan also sighed: "The doll is sensible, knowing that reading can't help us, and will let us put a lot of silver in, so he hasn't shown it, in fact, where does he know, we all see it." β
A slight sigh dissipated in the cool night.
Walking about half a pillar of incense time, a bluestone piled city tower pavilion first printed in the eyes of everyone, followed by a row of bluestone piled up thick city wall, between the pavilion above the city wall and the gate below, is hung a red plaque with a somewhat dull color, on which is written "Wanxiong Guancheng" four big characters.
This momentum is obviously much weaker than the plaque on the vermilion gate facing the cold wasteland, and it is not as grandiose, and some of the low walls and buildings look like a strong sense of decadence and dilapidation.
Liu Xunxiang couldn't help but feel a little funny in his heart, this Da Qin would be a faΓ§ade.
The torches on the city wall illuminated the red and somewhat blackened gate even darker, and Li Shan and the others immediately dismounted after seeing the torches, and led the horses slowly over.
When the guard at the gate saw someone coming, he immediately shouted at the top of his voice, "Stop, what are you doing?" β
Li Shan didn't panic at all, raised his hand to stop the carriage, and stepped forward alone and responded with a smile: "Master Jun, it's me, the second Li of the Ping An Dart Bureau." β
When the soldier heard this, his voice slowed down: "Yo, what kind of goods did you go this time, you can actually let your brother come out and walk in person." β
"Harm, it's not a little tight on hand, go out and save more money, brother, you know. Li Shan said with a wink.
It seems that this Li Shan really has some skills, you must know that not everyone can be so familiar with the soldiers of this Wanxiong Pass.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and then patted his head and said: "Look at my memory, I forgot that my brother is about to marry a daughter-in-law, my brother congratulates you in advance, but this rule cannot be abolished, let the brother go through the motions, otherwise the brothers are here, and the brother must have a little face." β
"That's right, when the time comes, the elder brother and the brothers must come over and have a glass of wine, as for this cutscene, of course they have to go. Li Shan responded with a smile on his face, and at some point he took out a heavy bag of brocades and stuffed it into the soldier's hand, and said in a low voice: "As for how to go, it's not up to you, brother." β
The soldier weighed the bag in his hand twice, and said with a smile: "Between our brothers, why are you always so polite." β
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the soldier immediately shouted: "Okay, I've finished the inspection, let it go." β
Li Shan said with a smile: "Thank you, brother, when the brother comes back, I will invite the brother to have fun." β
When the soldier heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he said, "Let's go, let's go." β
Seeing this, Kui San waved his big hand and shouted, "Babies, let's go." β
The carriage creaked and turned, and a group of dart masters didn't dare to come out, and even Yang Qiu'er held his breath, just begging to get out of the customs quickly.
The carriage that Liu Xunxiang was sitting in slowly walked in front of the soldier, and the soldier suddenly shouted, "Stop." β
This shout not only made the carriage stop immediately, but also made the hearts of the dart masters of these guards skip a beat.
Li Shan's eyelids jumped, and he asked with a smile: "What's wrong, big brother, is there anything wrong." β
The soldier ignored him, walked up to Liu Xunxiang, looked left and right, and said, "You look at the eyes, you shouldn't be from the Ping An Dart Bureau, what are you doing." β
Liu Xunxiang raised her eyelids and glanced at him, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Li Shan immediately spoke: "Big brother, this is the younger brother of a dart master in my Ping An Dart Bureau, he is a mute, and his brothers have been dependent on each other for many years, but as a result, my brother he... So I couldn't bear it, so I took his brother over and raised him, this time I took the dart, afraid that he would be left alone in the dart board to be wronged, so I brought it with me. β
As he spoke, he stuffed the soldier with a piece of silver, which seemed to be two taels.
The soldier accepted the silver without a trace, sighed, patted Li Shan's shoulder and said, "Brother, you are a person, you don't have to say, let's go, go early and come back early." β
"Okay, then the old brother will go first. Li Shan said with his fists clenched.
This time, there was no more waves, and a team of cars and horses drove out of the gate safe and sound.
Out of the gate, there is a dark official road with no end in sight.
It wasn't until they walked a long way that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shan hugged his fist at Liu Xunxiang, who was sitting behind, and said: "I was forced to do it just now, the prevarication is offensive, little brother, don't take it to heart." β
"What the dart head said, it's a small thing, and it's causing trouble to the dart. Liu Xunxiang said apologetically.
Others may not have seen it, but Liu Xunxiang, who is a monk, saw it very clearly, if he hadn't been on this carriage, Li Shan would not have been knocked by the soldier again.
Yang Qiu'er on the side suddenly became lively again when he came out of the pass, and said: "Brother, don't worry, even if there is no you, the jackal will find other reasons to make a profit." β
"Jackal?" asked Liu Xunxiang puzzled.
Yang Qiu'er smiled proudly and explained: "It's a particularly greedy beast, and those guards guarding the door are just like them, so the people who go out of the customs call them jackals in private." β
Liu Xunxiang smiled suddenly.
The overnight trip made everyone a little tired, watching the sun star rise into the sky, Li Shan, who was walking in the front, shouted loudly in front: "Babies, everyone has worked hard all night, now let's find a shady place to rest in shifts, and we are on the road at night." β
Everyone had stayed up all night, and everyone was a little in good spirits, and when they heard Li Shan say that they could rest, they immediately laughed happily, took off their horse covers, tied the reins together, and surrounded the three boxes of carriages together.
Except for three or five people who still carried knives and patrolled each other, the others, some found a place to sleep alone, some of them got together to chat, and some took out their own dry food to distribute to their companions to eat together, which was very lively.
As soon as Liu Xunxiang found a place to sit down, Yang Qiu'er immediately came over with dried meat and two pots of wine bags and handed them to Liu Xunxiang, Liu Xunxiang thanked him, and then asked, "Brother Yang, why do we have to repair during the day and walk at night?"
"Hey, you don't understand this, I'll tell you, this is our second master's means, take the official road, the road is far, and he will rest day and night. Seeing Liu Xunxiang's puzzled face, Yang Qiu'er's eyes were almost gone, so she continued: "This means that if you walk a long official road, then rest during the day and walk at night.
Because there are many officials and people during the day, and there are occasional Wanxiongguan soldiers who enter and exit, there are no big robbers on the road, and you can sleep with peace of mind, but you have to hurry up at night, because the robbers come out at night. β
Liu Xunxiang thought for a moment and said: "Because it is a long way to go, if there are no robbers rushing during the day, and you can't finish walking, then the dart team that has been tired for a day will be like chickens at night when facing the robbers who have cultivated for a day, and they will have no power to resist, so it is better to be like the robbers' work and rest, and give some wine money when they meet it, which is better than losing their lives?"
Yang Qiu'er looked at Liu Xunxiang with an incredulous expression, and was a little speechless for a while.
Li Shan, who was on the side, came behind the two of them at some point, and said with a smile: "Little brother is very capable, what you said is word for word." β
