Chapter 12 It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books
Qing Xiaonian had long expected that Lin Fugui would have such a day, but he didn't expect him to die so quickly.
Regarding the disappearance of the princess, although the most fundamental clue at the moment is broken, the slightest subtle revelation is still a bit of a willow and a village.
The letter with golden letters, the man in black who listened to Yuxuan, and Lin Fugui's death, including Lin Fugui's death, are just a bunch of scattered beads, Qing Xiaonian feels that these are not enough, even the beaded threads are intermittent, this Western Regions is indeed necessary to go, Qing Xiaonian has a strong feeling, everything is waiting for him there.
Qing Xiaonian, who grabbed the broken line, didn't dare to delay anymore, and went to the south of the city to lame Lao Huang, who had a heavenly horse, don't look at the old Huang man's lameness, but the horse is definitely the first class in the Central Plains.
Although he is usually a bit chattering, as long as it is a person who buys or rents a horse, he will never talk nonsense, and only ask you two words.
"Where are you going?"
"Western Regions. ”
Lisuo pulled out a brown and yellow horse, whether you like it or not, whether you want it or not, Lao Huang is a sentence, "I look at the horse more accurately than you look at the mother-in-law." ”
Qing Xiaonian didn't ask much, and with a wave of his hand, he threw off a thousand taels, stepped on the BMW, and the healthy horse neighed, pulling the reins, like a gale.
This trip to the west can be described as a long journey, and fine wine is naturally a must-have for the celebration of the New Year. Along the way, I stopped for a while in Tingyuxuan, resting is secondary, and the celebration of the New Year is mainly to listen to Yuxuan's collection of Western Regions wine, and then go along with such a capped silver vessel.
All the way to the west is the extremely hot and hot place, the temperature of the Central Plains can not be compared with that side, the road is running and working, drinking water will only become more and more thirsty, but this Western Regions wine is like a floating melon Shen Li, packed in this silver capping vessel to keep cool and warm at all times, when you are tired, take a sip, energetic.
Before leaving, Qing Xiaonian used a cowhide water bladder to fill two bags of water for this Tianfang horse, and no matter how first-class horses have to drink water, Qing Xiaonian will not only feel sorry for himself, but also these livestock have to be thoughtful.
Just one person and one horse, a glass of wine and water bladder, went straight to Yumen Pass.
According to legend, Genghis Khan led the iron horse to kill the iron horse to the Danube River, and the crotch was riding this heavenly horse.
From Yangzhou City to Yumen Pass, the road was a full two thousand miles and walked for two days and two nights, this time Qing Xiaonian finally realized what is called "three thousand miles of clouds and moons", wearing stars and moons, day and night.
BMW travels thousands of miles a day, and the lover eats and sleeps in the open.
The only regret is that there is no one to accompany him on the road, although Ma Tong is human, he can't speak, and after thinking about Wan Qiuxuan, who is paralyzed in a wheelchair all day, he laughed at it.
Finally, I saw the Yumen Pass, which must be passed through the Western Regions, the desert is boundless and sparsely populated.
"It's a good spring breeze that doesn't pass the Yumen Pass. Qing Xiaonian looked at the Yumen Pass standing alone in the mountains, lonely and lonely. It can be said that it is better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and it is not as good as seeing a hundred things.
Three or two merchants passed by, and just when Qing Xiaonian was about to ride through, he suddenly found two familiar figures at the pass.
"Brother Qing, don't come unharmed, we've been waiting here for a long time. The person who spoke was Huiyue Silver Hook Chen Bengu, and the person next to him was Sun Haifeng, who was Guihai Yidao.
Qing Xiaonian jumped off the horse, and was very surprised that the two of them would appear in this Yumen Pass, and said in surprise: "Brother Chen, why are you here." ”
Chen Bengu enjoyed Qing Xiaonian's exaggerated expression very much, he was indeed extremely satisfied to be able to celebrate Xiao Nian first, and Sun Haifeng next to him was even more so, with a smug look on his face, he took the lead in speaking: "What, do you think that these things can only be thought of by you Qing Xiao Nian?"
Qing Xiaonian looked at Sun Haifeng, who was full of pride, and smiled.
Chen Bengu also smiled: "Actually, the two of us also found out here from Brother Qing's opinion. ”
Qing Xiaonian was puzzled: "Borrow my opinion?"
Chen Bengu continued: "Yes, when Brother Qing told us that the golden letter was related to Lin Fugui, we immediately checked the information of Lin Fugui's entry and exit when we went back, and immediately found a coincidence. ”
Qing Xiaonian asked, "What coincidence?"
Chen Bengu replied: "When I received this letter, it happened to be four days before Lin Fugui entered the customs, and these four days were enough for Lin Fugui to enter the customs and arrive in Yangzhou. ”
Qing Xiaonian nodded and said, "You mean that after Lin Fugui returned to Yangzhou from the Western Regions, he quietly put the letter at the door of the palace?"
Chen Bengu replied: "That's right, this possibility is indeed not ruled out, so we guessed that Lin Fugui must have met something here, so we set off overnight, so Brother Qing, who left before dawn, was naturally one step ahead of him, and I knew that Brother Qing would definitely come." ”
Qing Xiaonian didn't care when the two of them arrived here, and he cared if there were any other clues, so he asked, "That's all?"
Sun Haifeng, who was on the side, couldn't help but say: "Of course, it's not just that, in addition, we also found that Lin Fugui only took a day to get out of the customs and return to the customs this time." ”
Qing Xiaonian was a little surprised and said, "One day?"
Sun Haifeng nodded: "That's right, he returned to Yumen Pass only one day after leaving Yumen Pass, and a merchant from the Western Regions went to the Western Regions to sell goods, at most for a month, and at least for ten days and a half months." And this time, Lin Fugui sold out the return trip in one day. ”
"No, he came back without selling it this time. Qing Xiaonian suddenly said with a firm look in his eyes.
Chen Bengu and Sun Haifeng looked at Qing Xiaonian suspiciously at the same time.
Qing Xiaonian continued: "That day in the hall of the Lin family's courtyard, his bags were in the corner, and they were full of special goods from the Central Plains. ”
Chen Bengu said: "In other words, Lin Fugui did not go to the Western Regions to sell goods, but came back with the goods?"
Qing Xiaonian nodded and said: "That's right, we might as well boldly imagine that Lin Fugui originally wanted to take the goods to the street to sell, but what he found on the way, he quickly turned back to Yangzhou without caring about selling the goods, and wrote a letter and secretly put it at the gate of the palace after he returned." ”
Chen Bengu suddenly slapped his thigh, and said excitedly: "That's right! Later, the news leaked and people were silenced! So it seems that we are getting closer and closer to the truth!"
At this time, Sun Haifeng on the side said faintly: "The Western Regions are so big, where should I start." ”
Qing Xiaonian shrugged his shoulders after hearing this, and replied: "Where is the nearest inn outside the gate?" ”
Chen Bengu didn't think twice, "Dragon Gate Inn." ”
"Okay, let's go there!"
Chen Bengu said with a puzzled face: "What are we going to do at the inn?"
Qing Xiaonian said: "What else can you do when you go to the inn, naturally you are going to drink wine and eat meat, and then sleep comfortably." ”
Sun Haifeng's face turned pale: "Qing Xiaonian, we are here to handle the case, not to spend time drinking with you!"
Qing Xiaonian took out the silver utensils and shook them at Sun Haifeng, "There is no wine in it, I naturally want to go to the inn to buy wine and drink, I have been on the road for two days and two nights, and I should have a good night's sleep, I am not like your Sun Da Catcher, like a strong cow, I only have brute strength, I can eat any weeds and sleep in any miscellaneous nest." Besides, my horse is tired and needs a good night's sleep, right? ”
Qing Xiaonian patted the horse's head, only to see that the heavenly horse suddenly looked up to the sky and neighed, and happily stepped on small broken steps, as if in response to Qing Xiaonian's words.
"Qing Xiaonian, don't point to Sang and scold Huai, we have to fulfill our duties for the court, how can you be a nasty embryo like you, you only know the wind and snow all day long. ”
At this time, Sun Haifeng's face was red, but he really couldn't say that he could celebrate the young year, so he had to stare dryly.
Qing Xiaonian smiled slightly, ignored it, jumped on the saddle lightly, spurred the reins, and galloped towards the gate.
Chen Bengu thought for a while, and suddenly realized that he looked up to the sky and laughed, "I understand! Brother Qing is really wise!"
After speaking, ignoring Sun Haifeng's strange eyes, he jumped on the horse and rushed towards Qing Xiaonian's distant back.
Sun Haifeng, who was at a loss, stood in place and was stunned for a while, scolded "crazy heart", and had to jump on horseback and chase after him.
