Chapter 289: The Rainstorm is Coming
Zhongxingfu is the capital of Western Xia, also known as Xingqingfu, which is also known as Yinchuan City. As the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, one of the Wuhu, it was still very famous in the world, so Chen Shu suddenly remembered.
Everyone went down to Zhongnan Mountain, and when they stayed at the inn that day, Cheng Lingsu decocted the medicine again and asked Chen Shu to take it. Chen Shu only felt hot and dry that night, and when he got up the next day, he saw a black sweat on his body, which was pungent and fishy, so that several girls hurriedly covered their noses and pushed him to take a bath.
Cheng Lingsu said happily: "This situation is very good, Chen Daxia's physique is good, and he can force the poison out with the effect of the medicine." ”
Wen Tailai said, "Then when will Brother Chen be able to resume his martial arts?"
Cheng Lingsu groaned: "This can't be rushed, it will take one or twenty days." ”
When everyone heard that it would only take one or twenty days, they were overjoyed and praised her for her medical skills. Cheng Lingsu blushed from praise and hurriedly hid in the house.
Next, everyone discussed, Chen Shu was definitely going to Yinchuan, and Huang Rong and a few other girls were of course with him. It's just that the Red Flower Society has made a big move recently, so Chen Shu asked Wen Tailai and the others to go back and no longer have to accompany him.
Wen Tailai pondered for a moment and said, "That's it, Tenth Brother, you go back first, and I'll give Brother Chen a ride." ”
Zhang Jin and the others have no objection, Wen Tailai and Chen Shu have the closest relationship after all.
So everyone said goodbye at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and Chen Shu and his party went to the northwest.
There was nothing else to say along the way, and a few days later they arrived at Guxiao Pass on the border between Western Xia and Jin. This place is the main battlefield of the war between Western Xia and Jin, and I can see that there is a gloom as far as the eye can see. It's hard to see people.
Wen Tailai whipped his horse and galloped through the wilderness. Soaring and proud. There was a long howl in the sky, and the sound was heard for dozens of miles.
Chen Shu leaned on the window of the car and watched, praised him, and said: "The fourth brother is really heroic, but it's a pity that I can't ride a horse." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Cheng Lingsu next to him. The little girl's face sank and she said, "It's good to know, don't you realize that you're not in good health?"
Chen Shu smiled awkwardly: "Didn't I say nothing?"
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him. It sounded like a large group of horsemen.
After a while, a brigade of about two or three hundred horsemen caught up from behind, and they all passed by with shouts.
In the middle, there was also a carriage, but it was much stronger than their carriage, which was inlaid with gold and jade, and had an air of luxury and honor.
The road was very wide, and as the carriage passed, it deliberately slowed down and walked side by side with them. I saw a corner of the bright yellow curtain slightly lifted. It seems that the person in the car quietly glanced this way.
Huang Rong praised and said, "This is really magnificent, a princess style." ”
Chen Shu said with a smile: "Look at the costumes of these knights, this is the army of Western Xia. This is really likely to be a big man of the Western Xia royal family. ”
Huang Rong hurriedly pushed him and said, "Big brother, catch up, chase this princess, and you will be developed." ”
Chen Shu glared at her angrily. hugged Ah Jiu, who was listening in a daze next to him, and said with a smile: "I already have a princess." How can you not be satisfied? ”
I laughed for a while, but I didn't take it to heart. Keep going. When it was dark, there was still a vast wasteland, and there was no one in sight.
Wen Tailai said: "It seems that I can only sleep in the wild tonight, and the princess asks for forgiveness." ”
Everyone likes to joke about Ah Jiu, just because this girl with a noble birth and a quiet personality is particularly touching when she is shy. She knows this herself, so now she endures it when others tease her, and she doesn't squeak when she blushes.
Chen Shu was distressed, and hurriedly pulled her over, pushed Wen Tailai and said: "Go and go, if you know that you are guilty, you don't want to apologize for your guilt, the fourth sister-in-law will be taken care of by me, go and die." ”
Everyone was not funny, Luo Bing said: "What a little monkey cub, even dare to take advantage of me!"
Wen Tailai shook his head and said with a smile: "This kid is really a heavy color and light friend, forget it, it is also Wen's carelessness in making friends." ”
While laughing, he got out of the car and prepared to make a fire to roast the dry food he brought with him.
At this moment, I heard the sound of hooves, and several horses galloped over. Everyone looked up, and when they saw that several people were quite far away, they dismounted and walked over, obviously indicating that there was no hostility.
Everyone stood up, only to see a few Western Xia soldiers escorting a girl in palace clothes. The girl walked up to everyone a little shyly, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, my master said that there are many horse thieves in this area now, and it is very dangerous at night. If you don't give up, why don't you come to our barracks, and you can take care of it. ”
Chen Shu and Huang Rong glanced at each other, and they were both very surprised. Wen Tailai laughed and said: "Thank you girl and Lord Ling, but we are all used to being free, so we won't bother." ”
Naturally, they didn't want to have anything to do with the Tangut people, and those people looked at them up and down with strange expressions when they heard this. The girl looked very shy, bit her lip and hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice, "Then please be careful." ”
Chen Shu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, girl, please go back." ”
After these people left, everyone looked at each other and was very surprised. Huang Rong pursed her lips, looking at Chen Shu with a smile and was about to make fun of her, Chen Shu knew what she wanted to say, and hurriedly said: "Come on, I was hiding behind just now, and she couldn't see me." Besides, do you really think I'm Pan An or Song Yu? It's only you, a stupid girl, who treats me as a treasure. ”
Huang Rong's face was flushed, and she said angrily: "Don't be afraid of ugliness, who treats you as a treasure? It's almost the same as treating you as a piece of meat!"
Wang Yuyan was hungry and greedy, and when she heard this, her eyes suddenly turned green and looked at Chen Shu, and she wanted to pounce on her and take a bite.
That night they pitched their tents to rest, but nothing happened all night. The next day, the road was flat, and you could see that the Western Xia army was in front, but their speed was much faster, and in less than half a day, they could no longer be seen.
After a long day's hard work, in the afternoon, suddenly the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and the sky was full of black clouds, and it was gloomy and down.
Everyone looked up and knew that the rain was about to fall.
It is not advisable to walk in the rain, but when you look around, there is no shelter from the rain above the wilderness.
Wen Tailai hurriedly said: "Speed up, I remember that there is a town out of this desert not far ahead." ”
He used to follow the boss helmsman Yu Wanting to and from the northwest, and he was very familiar with the terrain. The crowd hurriedly urged the horses and pulled the cart at a gallop.
After running for a while, suddenly a bright lightning flashed, and then a loud bang was heard on the ground, and a thunderclap exploded between the heavens and the earth.
Ah Jiu was so frightened that her face was pale, Ren Yingying hurriedly hugged her and comforted her softly, Chen Shu looked up at the sky, and said in his heart: "This rain seems to be coming down soon." ”
At this moment, Wen Tailai, who was suddenly outside the car, shouted, "Who is it?" (To be continued.) )
