Chapter 57: Bingtang
Dongjiang County, a small county on the border of the Western Regions, is often forgotten. Because of poverty, Dongjiang County is located on the border and Xijin is less than 100 miles apart, here the perennial wind and sand are constantly barren, people have no way to sow and work, so they have to use the jade produced in this place to exchange for the necessities of survival, many merchants go to Xijin to pass through here, because only need to use some cheap food and cloth can be exchanged for precious jade and other things in the Central Plains and other places.
It's just that in recent years, there has been less and less jade here, and the merchants who have made a lot of money no longer come here.
Today's wind and sand in the west of Xinjiang still cover the sky and the sun, but in this windy and sandy street, there are still a few unclothed children playing, and several children have a common characteristic, that is, thin, skinny, almost skin and bones.
Despite this, there were still happy smiles on their faces, Zhao Wushuang rode a horse and slowly walked out of the yellow sand that covered his eyes, several children stopped what they were doing, stretched out their little hands in front of their eyebrows to block the wind and sand, and carefully observed the black-robed man riding a big horse not far away.
In their eyes, Zhao Wushuang didn't see fear, some were just full of envy, maybe in their hearts there was also a dream of walking the rivers and lakes with a sword and a horse.
Zhao Wushuang turned over and dismounted and looked at a fearless little boy standing at the front.
"What's your name?"
The little boy looked up at the grim man in front of him, he wiped the dust on his face and shouted loudly, "I am called Fushen!"
"Floating, good name!" Zhao Wushuang rubbed his little head.
Fu Shen shook his head a little proudly, "That's, this is the name my mother gave me, but it's much better than their names behind me! You see his name is Gouyu, her name is Erya, and his name is Loess." Fu Shen pointed to his friends one by one to introduce Zhao Wushuang, compared to Fu Shen, the other three children were a little restrained.
Zhao Wushuang smiled, "Well, indeed, your name is very good!Then can you tell me if there is any inn here!" After only two days of running, the water that Zhao Wushuang was carrying was already empty, and the red and brown horses under his seat were already a little dehydrated.
Fu Shen tilted his little head and thought for a while, and asked puzzledly, "What is the inn?"
Zhao Wushuang was stunned for a moment, looking at the rags and rags on several people, he seemed to understand a little.
Patiently explained: "It's the kind of place where you can eat and stay!"
Fu Shen waved his hand, "No, we basically don't have anything to eat here, and usually even robbers don't come, so there will be some wild dog offal that often comes to rob the little daughter-in-law!"
Zhao Wushuang was speechless for a long time, took out a few pieces of oil cake wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, and gave one to each of the children.
The other three children hesitated for a moment and then took it, while Fu Shen turned his head away, "My mother said that you won't let me eat the food that came to me!" Although it was a righteous word, his hand to wipe his mouth betrayed him.
Zhao Wushuang was a little surprised, "Whiffing food?" Then he said with a smile: "This is not food for me, I want to ask you for help, this is the reward!"
"Ahh
"Hmm... Do you have water in your house?"
Fu Shen raised his eyes to look at him, "Yes!
Zhao Wushuang smiled knowingly, "That's okay! I've drunk all the water I brought along the way, and my horses are thirsty, you take me to drink water, and I'll give you oil cakes, this is not food for me!"
Fu Shen nodded his little head, and said righteously: "Well, it's pretty much the same! I'll take you to my house!"
"Okay!"
Fu Shen shouted to the three friends behind him: "That's it today, tomorrow we are fighting to the death, I will still be a hero!"
The three friends nibbled on the oil cake and nodded wildly.
Ups and downs swaggered and walked home with Zhao Wushuang.
As soon as he took a few steps, he stopped and turned to look at the fierce horse led by Zhao Wushuang.
Zhao Wushuang smiled and asked, "Want to ride?"
He shook his head and walked on.
At this moment, Zhao Wushuang reached out and grabbed his arm and put him on Ma'anshan, he was startled at first, afraid that the horse would knock him down, but after a while, the horse was still quiet, he was a little happy, holding the reins with one hand, he only dared to shout softly, "Drive! I'm a hero!"
Zhao Wushuang looked at the child's smile on the horse and was a little stunned, "When did he do the same!"
Zhao Wushuang, who came back to his senses, said softly: "Show me the way!"
Fu Shen put down his excited little hand and pointed in the direction to Zhao Wushuang with a little blush.
Zhao Wushuang led the horse, and immediately the children's eyebrows danced, and they went around a few alleys, and the two of them came to a yellow-colored courtyard wall, where all the buildings were like this, made of sand and stones.
In front of the wooden door, there was a petite and delicate woman who was looking forward to it, and when she saw Fu Shen sitting on a horse, and then looked at the black-robed man, the woman was shocked, and hurriedly ran over and said angrily: "Who are you, quickly put down my family!"
Fu Shen cried with a sad face, "Brother put me down, otherwise my mother will beat me!"
Zhao Wushuang stretched out his hand and put the floating and sinking report in front of him, and the floating and sinking trotted over and kept talking in his mother's ear.
After a while, the delicate woman's face was slightly red, and she walked over with Fu Shen and gave a blessing, "Slave Yulian, I misunderstood my son, don't blame my son!"
Zhao Wushuang arched his hand and said: "It's okay, there is a lot of trouble!"
"Childe, please come in! The house is shabby, I hope Childe will not be disgusted!"
Zhao Wushuang shook his head, "Madame's words are serious!"
Walking into the courtyard, there is a large water tank, although the courtyard is simple, but it is cleaned clean, making people look comfortable.
The house was still shabby, with only a dilapidated wooden table and a few bamboo chairs, and as soon as Zhao Wushuang sat down, Yulian came in with a pot of tea.
"Childe uses tea first, and the slave family goes to feed the horse to Childe!"
Zhao Wushuang quickly got up, "Madam doesn't have to be like this, the kid can come by himself!"
Yulian covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's okay, the slave family has also fed the horses, don't worry, son!"
Seeing this, Zhao Wushuang had no choice but to give up, "Then there will be Mrs. Lao!"
After a long time.
Zao Woushuang took out the last packet of oil cakes and put it on the table, ready to leave.
Yulian had just finished feeding the horses, and when she saw this, she asked, "Childe is leaving?"
"Well, thank you Madame for the water, and the boy has to leave beforehand!"
Yulian wiped the fragrant sweat on her sideburns and hurriedly said: "It's getting late, the wind and sand are big, if the son doesn't dislike it, there is a guest room in the courtyard, just have some dinner here and leave tomorrow!"
"This....!"
Fu Shen gnawed on the oil cake and shouted: "That's it, it's very cold at night, brother, let's leave tomorrow!"
Zhao Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Then there will be labor!"
Yulian's face was happy, and the girl with a ruddy face like a twenty-eight didn't seem to be destroyed by the wind and sand. "It's okay, it's okay! Childe sits down for a while, and the slave family goes to cook. ”
Zhao Wushuang had nothing to do and chatted with Fu Shen, and Fu Shen suddenly trotted to the inner room and walked out mysteriously with an object.
Zhao Wushuang smiled, "What kind of treasure!
Fu Shen frowned and smiled, and stretched out his hand violently, "Bell!" In his small hand, he held a wooden sword, which was extremely rough, only in the shape of a sword.
"How about my dad did it for me?
Zhao Wushuang nodded slightly, "What about your father?"
Fu Shen then danced with his eyebrows: "Daddy has gone up the mountain, he said that when he comes back, he will buy me a real sword!" Then his eyes were a little dark, "But he hasn't come back for several years!"
Zhao Wushuang reached out and touched his head, "Maybe he's busy making money!"
Fu Shen's eyes lit up, "That's it, I think so too, but my mother always says that he is dead!"
Zhao Wushuang sighed softly.
At this time, Yulian came over with a pot of porridge and a few plates of pickled vegetables, and Zhao Wushuang hurriedly followed.
Yulian was a little embarrassed, "It's a barren place here, and there are no ingredients, don't dislike it!"
"How dare you! It's already good!"
Fu Shen stared at the side and shouted, "Wow!
Yulian glared at him, and Zhao Wushuang opened the oil paper and divided the four oil cakes among the two.
She filled a bowl of porridge and savored it, and Yulian said softly, "Son, don't eat it?"
Zhao Wushuang looked up and smiled: "I prefer to drink porridge!"
Yulian nodded, "Eat more!"
After drinking two bowls of porridge, Zhao Wushuang was a little satisfied, "I haven't drunk such sweet porridge for a long time, Madame's craftsmanship is really good!"
Yulian's face was slightly red, and she bit lightly on the oil cake.
At this time, I only heard someone outside shouting: "The golden dog is here!!"
The jade lotus was pale, put down the oil cake in her hand and hurriedly ran out to tighten the gate.
Zhao Wushuang frowned slightly, his figure flashed, and he followed.
Yulian saw Zhao Wushuang coming out, and hurriedly pulled him to the house, "Son, go in, the golden dog is very cruel!"
Zhao Wushuang was puzzled: "Isn't there a military hall under the Nine Shadows Palace here, how can the Jin people be so swaggering!"
Yulian shook her head and sighed, "Alas, Gongzi doesn't know, Bingtang and the golden people are basically the same thing, and the Emperor of the Nine Shadows Palace is far away, and he won't care about our small barren place." ”
Zhao Wushuang's face was slightly cold, the thirty-six Tiangang Hall of the Nine Hidden Palace, of which the seventh military hall was responsible for the garrison of the Western Regions, distributed throughout the Western Regions, just to prevent the creation and Xijin from taking the opportunity to invade.
In the wind and sand, a group of hundreds of iron horsemen with scimitars in their hands screamed, and kept rampage in Dongjiang County.
In a unique sand castle in the center of Dongjiang County, a group of white-clothed concubines held jade plates and waited for a white-clothed young man on a high seat.
"Report! Qiyu Hall Master, the Jin people are rampage in the county and kidnapping people everywhere. ”
The white-clothed young man on the high seat raised his eyelids lightly and said with some displeasure: "Come on, come on! What's the fuss, leave after the trouble!"
"But!" The guard was a little unbearable, and the branch of the Tiangang Soldier Hall of the Nine Secluded Palace actually indulged that group of golden dogs in such a way.
"But your mother, get out!" the young man in white was furious.
The guard shook his head and sighed.
In the wind and sand, a group of golden armor soldiers with iron armor and scimitars in their faces were in trouble for a long time, and they took away several girls with better faces and walked away.
As soon as he came out of Dongjiang Town, a struggling girl was placed horizontally at the head of the first class, and a black-robed man stood in the wind and sand in the distance, and the wide black-robed robe hunted in the wind.
The hundred horsemen pulled the reins in unison, and the long neighing of the horses was deafening.
"Hey, what's the dog in front of you? If you don't let Uncle Ben open again, I'll chop you!"
"Hahaha! It's stupid to be blown by the wind and sand!
Poof!
Before the man could finish speaking, he suddenly fell off his horse and did not move.
Zheng!
The scimitar buzzed non-stop, pointing at the first oblique knife, "Where is the demon!"
Zhao Wushuang raised his head, his face was like frost, and said coldly: "The one who killed you!"
The wind rose, and a sword intent rose with the wind, and the invisible sword qi swept like a tornado, and the hundred armor horizontal swords blocked, but the sword qi seemed to have eyes and instantly penetrated the iron armor and submerged into the body of a hundred people.
After a while, the wind and sand gradually decreased, and some people kept falling down.
Zhao Wushuang jumped on tiptoe to the horses and pulled a few girls out, and the horses scattered in shock.
"Go back by yourself!" Zhao Wushuang said, dodging away, pointing directly at the Eastern Xinjiang Branch of the Bingtang.
