Chapter 717: The sunset over the long river of the desert
The desert is lonely, and the sun sets over the long river.
An Gongzi stood in front of the car, holding on to the railing with both hands, watching the sunset gradually setting in the distance, and couldn't help but think of these two poems.
The poems have been circulating for several months, and whenever An Gongzi looks at the scenery in front of him, he will carefully evaluate these two poems, carefully measure every word, and try to replace even one of them.
But every time, he ended up failing, and no matter which word he changed, he would feel that he had lost its charm.
At first, he drove here only to confirm these two verses.
And later, I don't know if it was for these two poems, or for this sunset, he gradually fell in love with this lonely and desolate scenery.
I'm glad to come and see the sunset.
Frustrated, I want to watch the sunset.
Get rich and come to see the sunset.
If you are defeated, you will come to see the sunset.
As the leading Yanai in Mobei Mansion, he has enough time and freedom, and no one interferes with his little mood.
My father felt that he was a little out of place with the other officials, but as long as he didn't cause trouble, my father was satisfied.
The rest of the yamen felt that he seemed to have changed his character. I don't like to drink flower wine anymore, and I don't like to flirt with little girls on the street. Those things that everyone likes to see that bullying men and women don't do anymore.
I don't know what I'm doing every day. If it suddenly disappears one day, it must be here.
Gradually, the fox friends and dog friends who used to gather around him disappeared, and An Gongzi was left with only a scholar, a coachman, two guards, and an old servant.
But after removing the hustle and bustle, An Gongzi seemed to feel that everything became pleasing to the eye.
Sometimes, he would reflect on his past career of bullying men and women, and feel sincerely puzzled and ashamed of what he had done.
My father said that this is a stage that everyone goes through, and it is called growth.
Perhaps, he has really grown.
But it seemed to be a little different, he always felt that whenever the sun went down to the horizon, there always seemed to be something more.
You can't see what you can't touch.
At this time, the sun once again set on the horizon, and the sand grains all over the ground were reflected into endless gold, and every time at this time, An Gongzi seemed to lose his mind for a moment, remembering the legendary country of treasures full of treasures in the endless desert.
"Childe, it's going to be dark soon, we're going back, but the lord told you to go back early tonight, and the lord wants to feast other adults. The old servant who was guarding on the side said.
The old servant is an old servant who watched An Gongzi grow up since he was a child, when An Gongzi was ignorant, he beat and scolded him at every turn, and now he has already repented and regarded the old servant as a relative.
"Young master, if you go back late, maybe you will be beaten by the master again. The scholar next to him also said.
The scholar is the grandson of the old servant, who grew up with Gongzi An since he was a child, and was also bullied and scolded by Gongzi An, but now he has long been regarded as a confidant and sibling.
The two guards were also a little nervous, these two people were old men who had followed the An family for generations, and they were loyal to the An family, and a middle-aged man said: "Young master, sand thieves have become more and more rampant recently, and it is a long way to go back to Mobei Mansion, if you meet them on the road......"
"Let's go. An Gongzi was as good as a stream, turned around and got into the car, the coachman didn't say a word, waved the whip, and the horse turned around and turned in the direction of Mobei City.
The coachman was a mute, but he was once a retinue of his dead mother, and although he could not speak, the horses were more obedient than the other.
Just as the vehicle was turning around, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance.
Mobei is located in the westernmost part of the Celestial Empire, close to the desert, the land is barren and barren, and the pillar industry is the sand gold tax of the sand people. Mobei Prefecture is poor, and he is also poor in this Yanei, but the prices of various prices are very high, even if it is jade, it is much higher than other places. In addition to the cloud boat for official use, even Anzhizhou is reluctant to take his own cloud boat.
Most of the means of transportation here are horses.
In the desert there is a kind of thorn grass with small yellow flowers, and after the wild horse eats it, it runs very fast, and the four hooves are windy, and it is just idle to travel thousands of miles a day.
It's just that although this kind of horse runs fast, it is short, small and ugly, far inferior to the kind of high-headed horse produced in other places, and it is not liked by people in other places, only Mobei Prefecture itself uses this kind of horse.
And the sound of the hooves of this kind of horse is much denser than that of other horses, and when a horse runs, there is a feeling of impermeability, and at this time, the sound of horses' hooves like a storm is at least more than ten.
"No, it's a sand thief!" the old butler's face changed, "Hurry up!
"Hahahaha!" Before the carriage started running, there was a smug laugh from there, "Run, where to run? I let you run last time, but I will never let you run again this time! If I don't let you obediently take money to ransom you, I won't call you a one-eyed wolf!"
As he spoke, the group of sand thieves had dispersed, surrounding the wagon in the middle.
The leader of the man, with a fleshy face, squinted, and put on a black eye patch, which was a one-eyed dragon.
Seeing this one-eyed dragon, the old butler's face became worse, he lowered his voice, and said, "Young master, the second horse is the fastest, we will drag these people, you ride the second horse and run quickly......"
"What are you daydreaming about, old fellow, trying to run away in front of my one-eyed wolf?" laughed the one-eyed wolf.
"One-eyed wolf, don't you know who our son is? Dare to stop our son, aren't you afraid that the Yun army will overwhelm you and destroy you?"
"Destroy us?" Yun Jun himself was beaten by the fierce wolf brother, and he didn't dare to come out at all, and when the time comes, we will hide in the desert, do you think Yun Jun dares to come to us in the desert?"
"You ......" The old housekeeper was so angry that his whole body trembled, but he was at a loss for a while.
The one-eyed wolf is right, the Yun army stationed in Mobei Prefecture is mostly to defend against Xia Junguo, and the Yun army they can mobilize is pitiful, and this cloud army is not enough for the Mobei fierce wolf to plug his teeth, they have long been afraid.
"One-eyed wolf, you are only a sand thief just to ask for money, in that case, I will go with you, you let go of my retinue servants and let them go back to report the news, my father will definitely use money to ransom me, how about this?" An Gongzi said.
He knew that to the one-eyed wolf, no one else but him was meaningless, but the most common thing a sand thief like the one-eyed wolf did was to kill everyone else.
An Gongzi definitely didn't want this kind of thing to happen.
"Let them go, they are also lackeys of the official uniform, you all deserve death!" The one-eyed wolf's eyes flashed fiercely, "Today I will eliminate the harm for the people!"
"If the Mobei Fierce Wolf said so, I would not believe it. You one-eyed wolves have been driven out of the wolf pack, what qualifications do you have to say such things?" An Gongzi smiled coldly and said, "In this case, if you want to kill or chop as you like, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"
After all, Gongzi An is also a famous family, and he has also practiced the art of practicing qi, he hangs a long sword at his waist, and he is not an ordinary scholar who is weak and can't help himself.
"Protect the young master!" the two guards drew their weapons and planned to make a move, no matter what, they had to fight their way out to prevent the young master from being captured by the sand thieves.
......
In the desert, two figures came, and the two were somewhat similar in shape, both of them were tall, with rough skin, and their faces were weathered.
One of them had a scar on his face, which stretched across his eyebrows and cheeks, making him look particularly fierce.
The other person has a simple face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looks like a hunter in the mountains and a big brother next door.
"Finally out of the desert. The honest man sighed and said.
"Walking in the desert on foot, you're the first I've ever seen. And you still managed to come out alive...... It's really ......" The other shook his head helplessly, and said: "Now that you are out of the desert, I will not accompany you, brother, take care all the way." ”
"Take care. The honest man hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Wolf for accompanying me all the way, if there is a fate in the future, you and I will drink again." ”
"Okay, drink good osmanthus wine!" Brother Wolf laughed, and as he spoke, he drooled.
The honest man smiled slightly, and was about to walk forward, but he frowned again and said, "What's going on ahead?"
The wolf brother was just about to turn around and leave, but when he heard the words, he also looked in the direction pointed by the honest man and said, "It's not good...... I'll go check it out!"
The two men quickened their pace and walked out of the desert.
Halfway through, Brother Wolf had already seen the two sides of the confrontation, and immediately said angrily: "One-eyed wolf, this bastard, he doesn't change his life!"
He strode forward, shouted angrily, and said, "One-eyed wolf, you are so bold!"
"Big ...... Big brother!" Seeing the wolf brother, the one-eyed wolf was still majestic just now, but at this time, he was a little shorter out of thin air, and almost fell to the ground, and some of the others had already knelt on the ground, kowtowing and saying, "Big boss!"
"You people, you dare to call me the big boss?" Brother Wolf was furious, "I don't have you brothers!"
This wolf brother is the fierce wolf of Mobei.
His eyes swept over the other party, and he shouted angrily: "One-eyed wolf, it's just that you rob others, Gongzi An is someone I must not rob three times, don't you know?"
"Big Boss...... I...... I really don't know...... This...... An Gongzi ......, "The one-eyed wolf's whole person is about to shrink into a ball, and his face is full of grievances.
"Gongzi An, what about the fierce wolf order I gave you?" asked Mobei Fierce Wolf.
"Lost. An Gongzi said indifferently, "You are a sand thief, I am an official, how can I use your favor to protect myself?"
"You ......" Mobei Fierce Wolf couldn't cry and laughed, shook his head and said, "How could I recognize you as a pedantic brother." ”
"I'm not your brother. An Gongzi shook his head, and Mobei fierce wolf said: "I think you are a brother, that's enough." Brother, how do you say you're going to punish the one-eyed wolf?"
"Let him be restrained and put him in prison pending trial. An Gongzi said.
Mobei Fierce Wolf rolled his eyes and said, "You know I can't do it...... No matter how I am the leader of the sand thieves, no matter how bad the one-eyed wolf is, he used to be my brother, how can I send my brother to the official family. ”
"Hmph. An Gongzi snorted, since this is the case, then what else to say?
Mobei fierce wolf looked at An Gongzi, and then at the frightened one-eyed wolf, and said helplessly: "One-eyed wolf, you bastard, immediately take your people and roll me back to the torture hall, I will let you receive family law tonight!"
"Thank you, thank you, boss!" said the one-eyed wolf, but he was overjoyed, because he knew that he could return to the pack.
From now on, you can eat and drink spicy food, and you can still fight the Yun Army, wouldn't it be happy.
