Chapter 211: First Entry into Nanzhao
The pool of water in the basin was not alarmed, and at this time the sky was just dawning, and a bullfrog crawled out of the edge of the quagmire, and lazily jumped into the pool, swimming slowly, and suddenly saw a black snake swimming on the water at this time, and it suddenly disappeared into the water, and lost its trace.
Flaming Red had already stood up, nibbling on some tough weeds with his head down, playing mischievously.
Li Tianqi slowly opened his eyes, feeling a little tired, as if he hadn't fallen asleep at all last night.
He stood up, came to the water's edge, washed his face, and felt very refreshed, he gestured to the water one after another, but did not see anything spectacular happening, he smiled helplessly, it turned out to be a dream, but it was so realistic, the dream was originally to ask the dream ripples to inquire if there was any news of the mother, but before he could ask the day, it was white, and he woke up.
He couldn't help but look up in the direction of the canyon over there, only to find that some black smoke was still slowly rising from the sky in that area...... Could it be that something is happening?
And it seems that dozens of iron horsemen are coming out of the canyon, and they are coming this way. Without further ado, Li Tianqi didn't want to clash with these soldiers at this time, he turned over and got on his horse, "Huohong, take me to your master." ”
Huohong seemed to understand Li Tianqi's meaning, spread his four hooves, and ran towards the way King Wei and his party came. It didn't return to a dense forest on the high part of the basin, Li Tianqi began to have some doubts, but thinking of what Xiao Shura said before, he would follow it with suspicion.
According to the route taken by Huohong, that laughing Shura must no longer be in the dense forest, could this good horse still have the ability to find the master for thousands of miles?
But when Li Tianqi really met Xiao Shura, he was so surprised that he couldn't describe his mood in words.
An hour later, in a remote and narrow canyon, Huohong found Xiao Shura, who sat cross-legged on a soft grass, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Li Tianqi who turned over and dismounted, "You're finally here?"
Li Tianqi asked, "Do you know I'm coming?"
Xiao Shura nodded, "You are not familiar with life here, if you don't come to me, is there any other place to go?"
Li Tianqi suddenly thought of Nangong Shuo, "It's not good." How could I forget?" In the dream, he saw that Nangong Shuo was fine, but now he knew that it was just a dream, in this case, Nangong Shuo's life was at stake at the moment.
Xiao Shura smiled lightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Tianqi turned over and prepared to go back and find a way to rescue Nangong Shuo.
Xiao Shura slapped her hands on the grass, and she had already flown up, landed in front of the fiery red, and asked, "What is the matter that you have to turn back?"
Li Tianqi said: "I want to go back to the barracks to save people." ”
Xiao Shura asked, "Who are you going to save?"
Li Tianqi said: "A man, he ......"
Xiao Shura said, "Are you the guide Gong Shuo?"
Li Tianqi asked in surprise, "How do you know?"
Xiao Shura waved his hand and smiled: "If you are for this person, then don't go back, he is fine." And ......"
Li Tianqi asked, "You weren't at the scene, how do you know what happened?"
Xiao Shura said: "Of course I know, and I also know that he set you aside. ”
Li Tianqi asked, "What? He put me together?"
Xiao Shura said, "Yes, that's right. Didn't he and that Yan Juncao put you together?"
At this time, Li Tianqi was already a little confused, "It's true that Yan Juncao designed an ambush, but Brother Nangong was arrested to protect me, you say that he and that Yan Juncao put me together, but what do you say?"
Xiao Shura laughed and said, "Think for yourself, but that Nangong Shuo is fine, you really don't have to save him." ”
Li Tianqi was a little unconvinced, he pinched the horse's belly slightly, but Huohong had no intention of taking a step.
Xiao Shura said: "I have my own inside line, and I am well-informed, don't worry, if you think I lied to you in the future, it will not be too late for you to settle accounts with me." ”
Li Tianqi thought about it carefully, and he also felt that it made sense, and besides, there was no need for this person to deceive himself. It's just that what she said was a little similar to the scene in her dream last night, and he heard what Yan Juncao and Nangong Shuo were talking about, and there was no hostility, so he went to find the dream ripples.
Xiao Shura said: "Even if you go back now, it's too late, last night our envoy called my people to attack the military camp, presumably it will be in vain, but it will be bad again." If you go again, won't that add fuel to the fire? If you are caught by either side, they will take you out. Why do you ......?"
Li Tianqi's heart moved, "The early warning sound in the barracks last night and the rockets fired from outside the barracks ......"
Xiao Shura said: "That's right, although I didn't go last night, I can already see the results." Let the envoy bear these faults himself. ”
How could these situations match the scenes I saw in my dreams, and this morning I looked in the direction of the canyon, and I saw a layer of black smoke in the sky, presumably something on the ground was burned.
At this moment, Xiao Shura suddenly flashed, she also turned over on the horse, grabbed Li Tianqi's waist with both hands and said, "Let's go, let Huohong take us back to Nanzhao." ”
Li Tianqi felt a heat on his face, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Go...... Going to Nanzhao?"
Xiao Shura's delicate body was close to Li Tianqi's back, and said with a smile: "Of course, otherwise I would have left early, why would I still be waiting for you here in the wilderness." ”
Li Tianqi shook the reins and pinched the horse's belly slightly, "Go!"
After running on the flat dirt road for a while, the fiery red quickly burrowed into the dense forest to one side. After running in the grass of the dense forest for about two hours, a large crack in the valley appeared in front of the two of them, and there was a small path in the crack, the road was very narrow and narrow, and the two of them could barely enter with the fiery red.
Entering the sheep intestine path, the light suddenly dimmed, and there were endless cliffs on both sides of the road, and from time to time there were dew dripping on the two of them.
Xiao Shura said: "I thought that by guarding the road in the basin canyon over there, we could block us from coming, but I didn't expect that we could still come here." ”
Li Tianqi said: "Then you revealed this secret passage to me, aren't you afraid that I will tell them?"
Xiao Shura shook his head and said: "Although it can be communicated here, but the terrain is dangerous, and it is not suitable for marching troops, it is only suitable for some people to pass by, even if you tell them, what can you do? Marching and fighting are two different things from fighting swords. ”
Li Tianqi listened to Xiao Shura's eloquent words, and only felt that she was not only proficient in kung fu, but also understood military principles, and a sense of admiration rose in her heart.
Passing through the Great Rift Valley, the sight is bright again, although it is still in the dense forest, but the trees here are different, not only thick, but also have many fewer branches, like broad-leaved trees, and the green leaves are larger than the palm of an adult's hand.
In addition to the trees, there are lush weeds everywhere you look, and there are basically no bare rocks, and some birds and animals will pop out from time to time.
Huohong seems to have a great ability to recognize the way, and is bold, those places where Li Tianqi doesn't think there will be a road, it still runs straight in, not at all worried about falling into the quagmire or encountering some big beasts such as tigers and wolves, although Huohong is running in the wilderness with weeds and people at the moment, Li Tianqi doesn't feel that his speed has slowed down.
At this time, the sun was already at noon, and according to the fiery footsteps, it was obvious that he had traveled a great way, but as far as the eye could see, there were mountains and mountains, and trees and weeds.
Li Tianqi didn't know where Xiao Shura was going to take him, and asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Xiao Shura said: "You'll know when you go." ”
Li Tianqi asked, "Then is this already Nanzhao?"
Xiao Shura said, "I think so. ”
Li Tianqi said, "What? Don't you recognize this place?"
Xiao Shura said slowly: "I think this place belongs to Nanzhao, but you **** think this is your territory." Got it?"
Oh, it turns out that this is a disputed place, that is, it belongs to the border territory.
Li Tianqi smiled and said: "Aren't you also from the Central Plains? Even if you are from Nanzhao now, your ancestral home is ......."
Xiao Shura suddenly said sharply: "Don't say it!"
Li Tianqi felt that she was losing her temper and knew that maybe it had touched her sore spot, so he didn't dare to make a sound again.
Xiao Shura felt that he had just lost his words, and hurriedly smiled: "You will soon know why I am like this." Of course, you should be able to do me a favor. ”
Help her? Could it be that she was looking for my help, so she brought me here? Li Tianqi couldn't help but start thinking about it again in his heart.
Li Tianqi said: "We know that you and I are still commensurate now, under Li Tianqi, can you tell me your name?"
"Your name is Li Tianqi, I already know it. Xiao Shura Wan'er smiled: "My name...... I won't tell you yet. If you want to call me, just call me Laughing Shura. It's a good name, it's domineering enough. ”
It seems that this woman is indeed tricky, not only is she resolute, but she is also not shy about the traditional idea of giving and receiving relatives between men and women, and she is even more down-to-earth and generous.
As they spoke, Huohong had already carried them out of the dense forest, and entered an official road, not far away was a fence, a simple camp was stationed on the side, and several sergeants raised their spears at the comer.
Xiao Shura took out the talisman from his hand and shook it in front of those people, the fence had been removed.
The two of them rode forward, one horse and a flat river, quite a spring breeze and a horse's hoof disease.
