Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 48 The Tao is complicit
When they were carried into the carriage, Xiang Bei and Su Su were still tightly together. Although the carriage was not spacious, everyone was crowded, and it finally made room for Tianmo Laodao, who had been frozen into a popsicle.
The wheels were crushed on the frozen sand, and there was no need to worry about sinking too deeply, but the axles were still swaying and squeaking, and the first thing to wake up was the young Xiang Bei.
He looked at Jebecuo beside him, and neither of them had much expression on their faces.
"I didn't expect you to save us. Xiang Bei's voice was very cold, and he didn't seem to have much gratitude.
"I didn't expect that either. Xiang Bei's attitude was not surprised, but he knew the current form, if this young man still insisted on killing himself, then he also dug the grave for the three of them at the same time.
In order to remind Xiang Bei of this, Jebecuo also deliberately glanced at Su Su, "Even if you insist that I killed the captain of Tangshan, I think we can't help but save this girl." ”
At the mention of Su Su, Xiang Bei's face softened a lot, he probed Su Su's forehead with his hand, and found that this Nizi's forehead didn't seem to be so hot.
This is actually not good news, because Su Su is too weak and has not eaten for a long time, Xiang Bei couldn't help but pull Su Su into his arms again, thinking about giving her more temperature.
Looking at Su Su's always bright red lips, several openings opened, and those chapped epidermis curled up and curled up, making her lips look dry and pale.
"Give her some water to drink. Xiang Bei's tone was unquestionable.
But Jebelcuo didn't answer, but shouted at Jebu outside the carriage and asked him if the crisp tea was hot.
Jebu saw that the big boy in the carriage was glaring at the master, his eyes were fierce, and he was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained, "This little brother should not be in a hurry, my master is worried about the safety of the girl, and knows that you have not eaten water and rice for many days, so you must not drink a lot of water directly, so I specially asked me to boil some crisp tea for you, and prepare it for you to replenish your water." ”
The taste of crisp tea is a bit salty and bitter, but after drinking it, it is sweet in the mouth, and I think it is a unique drink specially developed by people who often walk in the desert. After Su Su drank it a few times, his face regained some rosiness.
Xiang Bei and Tianmo also followed Zhebu's explanation, relying on crisp tea to recover their strength, so that their bodies gradually warmed up.
Even the little white ball that has been hiding in Xiang Bei's arms has its share, although the taste of crisp tea is not pleasing to its liking, but like people, when they almost collapse, drink some hot drinks, and they will not care so much about the taste.
Tianmo warned Jebecuo that he could feel that there was a great power hidden in that ancient jade, and he must not hand it over to the villains, otherwise he would incur the reincarnation of the evil spirit, and his life would be ruined.
Jebecuo pressed the ancient jade hidden in his arms vigorously, noncommittal. After all, nothing was more important to him than the lives of his own family.
In the small space of the carriage, except for Su Su who was in a coma, the rest of the people had their own thoughts, although they were wary of each other, but after all, there were places to rely on each other, and they were all right.
With Jebu's caravan to pick them up, the rest of the journey went much smoother, and in a few days, the group finally walked out of the 500-mile desert and arrived at the camp in Talga.
Unlike the scattered tents you saw along the way, each tent in Talgar's camp was much larger than the normal tents.
Jebetso parked the caravan outside the camp, and only Jeb drove the camel-drawn wagon through the outer layers of tents to a golden-domed tent in the center of the camp.
Nanyuan King Zheda also learned from Liang Muha's style, painting his tent with the color of the golden roof, although he did not dare to call it the Golden Horde, but it looked majestic, which could somewhat satisfy the vanity of the Nanyuan king.
Zheda and Jebecuo are about the same age, and they are also fifty miles away, but when it comes to the city, he is much more treacherous than Jebecuo, and he is not keen on competing for the throne of the lord of the grassland, after all, that position is stared at by too many eyes, and when danger comes, it will be pushed to the front by everyone.
Ryumuha became the lord of the grassland, or even if someone else replaced Ryokha as the lord of the grassland. For him Zheda, he didn't feel any different, what he should do was to think about how to become a good brother of the lord of the grassland.
In this way, it is more convenient to hide behind the master of the steppe to get some real benefits.
But this time forcing Jebecuo to bring the Dragon Ding back, it was a major matter related to the fate of the entire grassland, just in case, he didn't even tell Liangmuha.
As soon as Jebu arrived at the door of King Jeda's tent, he heard the sound of Jeda shouting and screaming from inside.
"When you wanted to marry Zhao Jin to Toto, you jumped out to oppose it, saying that Zhao Jin was still young. Now that Wobeitai has grown up, you still don't let Zhao Jin marry, what do you mean!"
Another slow but firm voice responded, "My lord, it's not that I disagree with you proposing marriage, but I think we should at least ask Zhao Jin what he means." ”
Jebu could tell it was Mrs. Nanyuan's voice.
"What nonsense are you talking about, the order of your parents is the words of the matchmaker, I said that why Zhao Jin is becoming more and more disobedient now, it is estimated that he was instigated by your mother-in-law who lacks heart. Besides, Wobeitai's martial arts are still on top of detachment, and I don't know if Liangmuha will ...... in the future."
Zheda has always been cautious, but when he found that he almost slipped out of his mouth, he suddenly fell silent and changed the topic, "You stop messing around, you have to help me persuade Zhao Jin to stop being obsessed." ”
Mrs. Nanyuan no longer answered, and she didn't know whether to acquiesce or insist.
Jebu waited for there to be no more disputes in the big tent, and coughed, "Tell the king, Jebu asks the king for peace on behalf of my master Jebecuo." ”
"Come in, come in!" was the eagerness in Zheda's voice, as if he wanted to express his concern for Jebecuo. But Jebecuo knew that King Zheda had no relationship with him, but fortunately, he finally brought back what the king wanted, and he could be regarded as able to give the insatiable king an errand.
Seeing Jebetso sitting in a sedan chair and being carried into the tent, Zheda's eyes widened. Jebecuo's two broken legs were particularly eye-catching in the tent, and the king of Nanyuan retreated, and even Mrs. Nanyuan was driven out.
Then he took two steps forward, clenched Jebelcuo's hands tightly, and said excitedly, "Brother Jebel, I didn't misunderstand you, and only you can complete such a difficult task." ”
Jebecuo was not in the mood to act with this old drama bone, but took it out of his pocket and descended the dragon ding, "King Zheda, this is the thing you are looking for." ”
"Oh? Zheda took the artifact excitedly, but obviously he didn't know what the artifact looked like, but curiously weighed the ancient jade, and subconsciously asked, "This is also a ding?"
"During this time, thanks to the help of the king to take care of the family, now that the old slave has returned, can you go and see them. ”
"Well, it should, it should. Zheda's answer was very perfunctory, but his eyes never left the Dragon Descending Ding in his hand. There were no further instructions, and Jebel didn't know what else the king was thinking, so he could only wait in agony.
"I heard that you brought a few people from Daxia with you on the road? What are they doing?"
In the end, this sudden question made Jebel surprised, but he didn't expect that Zheda's eyeliner had always been by his side, so he could only pretend to be calm and briefly introduce Su Su Lingyu's fight against the sandworm.
"Oh, do you have such skills?" Zheda was obviously very interested in Susu's spirit feather, "Then can you bring this Susu girl to meet me?"
Although Jebecuo didn't know what Zheda's plan was, he had always been grateful to Su Su. Besides, it is better to have more than one thing, so he politely refused, "This Great Xia person should have suffered from the wind chill in the desert, and now she is unconscious, I am worried that she will infect the Great King Wind Cold, and I have left her alone outside the camp." Please calm the king, and when her condition stabilizes, the old slave will bring her to see the king. ”
"Well, okay then. Zheda then shouted outside the tent, "Someone." ”
When the servant came in, Zheda whispered a few words, asking him to take Jebel to visit his family.
In the northwest corner of the camp, in the direction of the cold north wind, the imprisoned criminals lived in these tents.
In fact, it is now the middle of winter, and the barren grassland near the camp is bare ground or covered with snow, and even if these prisoners escape from the camp, there is no way to survive if they are not answered.
As soon as Jebel Cuo appeared, his family members gathered around, and the older ones wept one after another, and those who were younger, seeing Jebecuo's figure were like seeing their own backers, shouting and running towards Jebecuo, and the fastest runner was his youngest daughter Caicai.
Daughter Caicai, as her name suggests, is the age of 15 years old like a flower, she threw herself into Jebelcuo's arms, "Dad, you're back!"
