Chapter 4 Golden Silk Lake and the Convoy

In the evening, as the sun sets, half of the sky is dyed orange-red, clouds float like ribbons in the sky, and the sun shines on a huge lake. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the distance, the river with golden light in the mountain stream converges on the lake, as if weaving a golden silk coat for the lake, which is the scenery of the golden silk lake that became famous.

Not far from the lake, there is an official road, and this official road is the only road leading to Huayuan City. There was a small convoy on the road coming from afar.

I saw that the convoy was about 50 people, some on horseback, some on horseback, some on the carriage, and from time to time a few crisp sounds came from the middle carriage, sounding like some teenagers and girls.

Most of the convoy consisted of sword-wielding guards with straight waists and strong clothes, a small number of handymen, and some board carts dragged a lot of baggage and goods to follow.

At the front of the convoy, there was a horse that stood out from the rest, this horse was black, taller and stronger than the surrounding horses, with attentive eyes, and on the horse was a middle-aged man in a brocade robe, with a thin face, thick eyebrows and small eyes, high temples, and a faint glint in his eyes.

From time to time, he glanced at the surrounding movements, the fingers that grabbed the horse rope were very thick, and the palms were much thicker than ordinary people, and at a glance, he knew that his kung fu was in his hands, and his figure was a little thinner than the guards around him, but there was a heroic aura that emanated.

"Uncle Yu, haven't you arrived in Huayuan City yet?" A childish voice came from the carriage in front, the curtain was opened by a pair of white little hands, and it was a little girl about ten years old who spoke, with a baby fat face, and a pair of big eyes under the slender eyebrows, full of aura.

There was also a boy with a very similar appearance beside him, the boy looked a year or two older than the girl, and his eyebrows were full of heroism, but he was much older than the girl, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Sister, didn't I tell you earlier, with the current speed of the convoy, it is impossible to arrive today, why bother my uncle. ”

Before the middle-aged man could reply, the boy answered first, expressing strong dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Hmph, you don't know how old I am, who knows if what you said is right, my father said that he would listen to his uncle along the way, but he didn't say that he wanted to listen to you, so I didn't believe you. The little girl pouted, not even looking at the boy.

"What do you know, your brother and I are naturally smart, I don't know how to help my father carry forward the Iron Fist Gate in the future, you must know that it took nearly ten days when we set off, and a few more carriages when we returned, if it took ten days to return, wouldn't it be ......"

Seeing that the two little ancestors had a tendency to quarrel again, the middle-aged man shook his head helplessly and gave a few orders to the guards beside him.

Then he reflexively said to the people in the carriage: "Young master, miss, it's not early, there is Jinsi Lake in front, we just rest by the lake for a night, we will leave early tomorrow morning, and we should be able to reach Huayuan City at noon." ”

After saying that, he didn't bother with the more fierce quarrel in the carriage, and drove his horse to the back.

In the back carriages were some teenage children, both men and women, all of whom seemed to be very clever, and they were very excited when they heard the middle-aged man say to them that they were going to rest by the Golden Silk Lake tonight, and they chatted and discussed.

"Wow, it's time to Jinsi Lake, listen to my father, Jinsi Lake is the most beautiful lake in our Wei Kingdom, you must take a good look!"

"Cut, who said that Jinsi Lake is the most beautiful lake, my family's Bibo Lake is!"

"I heard that the fish in Jinsi Lake have a very special taste, and they are more delicious than the fish in other lakes!"

......

Listening to the chirping of these little guys, the middle-aged man's stiff face showed a look of reminiscence.

"These children are the fresh blood of our Iron Fist Gate, I think I and a few brothers also lived by the Golden Silk Lake for one night before we started, and we were more excited than them, but unfortunately Senior Brother Zhang is no longer there, Senior Brother grew up in this area, and I like to eat the fish in this Golden Silk Lake the most, at that time we lived here on the night, and we personally caught a lot of fish and wild game in the mountains for us to eat. ”

When he thought of Senior Brother Zhang, a trace of sadness flashed in his small eyes.

"Xiao Wang, Xiao Chen, you can find a few brothers who understand water to go to the lake to touch more fish, I see that you are also greedy. ”

Throwing off the thoughts in his mind, out of the corner of his eye, he saw two guards around him staring closely at the Golden Silk Lake not far away, and a little saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth, and the middle-aged man didn't know what they were thinking.

"Elder Yu still understands us, and the brothers can't wait. The two of them immediately greeted each other, and called out to a few equally eager guards and rushed towards the lake.

This convoy was sent by the Iron Fist Sect to escort the introductory disciples in the surrounding towns and villages, and the Iron Fist Sect had many industries in various towns and villages around Huayuan City, and the person in charge of each industry had to look for some children with outstanding qualifications.

Then every ten years, the Iron Fist Sect will send people to bring these children and teenagers back to the sect, and the better ones will become inner disciples, and those with slightly less qualifications or older will become outer disciples.

If the selected children are selected as inner disciples, the heads of these industries will be rewarded handsomely. With the addition of fresh blood every ten years, Iron Fist Gate has maintained the leading position in Huayuan City for nearly a hundred years.

The two noisy children who were in the first carriage before were the children of the head of the Iron Fist Gate, the boy's name was Zhao Tian, and he was tested by the door to have a special physique that is legendary in the martial arts.

All kinds of martial arts will exert extraordinary power in their hands, and all the elders of the Iron Fist Gate unanimously determined him to be the successor of the Iron Fist Gate.

The little girl next to him is called Zhao Xue'er, her qualifications are average, and she is not a material for martial arts, but the whole sect loves this little princess very much, and she can't resist this eldest lady, so she can only let her come out with her, but fortunately, Elder Yu, who is known as the first master of the Iron Fist Gate, will not make any mistakes.

It didn't take long for the convoy to arrive at the Golden Silk Lake, several guards who were proficient in water came out of the water one after another, there were more than a dozen fat big fish jumping around on the edge of the lake, the handymen began to set up camp, make a fire to cook, and the boys and girls in the car also got off quickly, playing and playing by the lake, and the guards performed their duties.

Gradually, the setting sun hid in the mountains like a shy maiden, gilding the mountains with a golden glow, and the children playing by the lake reluctantly returned to the camp as the sky darkened.

The guard Wang Xiaopang is the little Wang in Elder Yu's mouth, a round-faced young man in his twenties, slightly fat.

Although patrolling the camp, his small eyes looked at the grilled fish on the fire rack from time to time, and there was a faint trace of crystal color at the corner of his mouth.
