"Emperor Qiqi, the Lord of Ten Thousand Cities led the crowd to surrender to Cheng, do we want to go and greet you. ”

"Let me go, everyone. "The emperor led a few henchmen to the gate of the desert, and there were three huge stone pillars in front of the gate of the desert, and there was a huge tray at the top of each of the stone pillars, which looked very majestic. The fly in the ointment is that the stone pillar in the middle has collapsed.

The emperor came to the gate of the desert, glanced at the fallen stone pillar in the middle, and saw that the stone pillar showed the words "two eight taels are insufficient".

The Gate of the Desert is a sand curtain, and in the middle of the sand curtain is a sand lock. The emperor tore off two strands of hair and inserted them into the keyhole, and the sand lock disappeared suddenly, and the sand curtain door disappeared with it. The emperor put the hair in his mouth again and chewed it, and the two hairs quickly grew out of his head again.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Cities knelt down and said, "I will lead the crowd to surrender, and I hope that the emperor will receive you." ”

The emperor immediately helped him up, touched his back, and said, "The Lord of Ten Thousand Cities can come, he really thinks highly of me." ”

The Ten Thousand City Lord got up, but found the Heavenly Wolf and the others, but they were dumbfounded, their eyes were blank, their movements were stiff, and they looked like puppets, and the Ten Thousand City Lord was thinking: How could they become like this, could they ......? Thinking like this, the Ten Thousand City Lord shuddered.

Outside the jade gate, the wind is like a knife, and the sand is like snow.

Despite the weather, the merchants who sold tea, porcelain, spices, etc., did not care about this, and they only wanted to sell the goods as soon as possible in exchange for a large amount of silver. The so-called bustle of the world is all for profit, and the bustle of the world is all for profit. That's it.

From a distance, the caravans are like crystal dewdrops in the desert, adding a little vitality and vitality to the desert. It's just that they don't go in a straight line, but take a detour from the north around the road. Although a lot of time and energy is wasted, they still enjoy it in order to be profitable.

There was a small caravan, but there was a rare teenage boy, the child was born clever and lively, but at the moment he looked a little haggard, obviously not accustomed to long journeys, he cheered up, asked an adult in front of him, "Abba, I am thirsty, do you have water?" ”

Abba handed over a water bag, and the little boy took two sips, put the water bag into the blanket, and said quite unhappily: "Abba, why don't you just take the goods from the south of the desert, but go around such a big circle from the north?"

Abba said, "Once upon a time, we used to ship directly from the south of the desert. Until ten years ago, the southern part of the desert was suddenly haunted, and all the caravans passing by there never came out, and heard that they were eaten by ghosts. Since then, no caravans have passed through there. ”

The little boy was strange again, and said, "Why is it that only the south of the desert is haunted, but the north of the desert is not haunted?"

Abba looked very impatient and said, "You are a little child, why do you ask so much, the most important thing is to learn from us to make money." ”

When the boy heard his father say this, he smacked his mouth twice, stuck out his tongue at Abba, grimaced again, and looked around.

The little boy looked at it for a long time, and then suddenly said to Abba: "Abba, look there, there are prisoners who have been assigned to the frontier." ”

Abba looked in the direction pointed by the little boy, and sure enough, there was a prisoner, so he pulled his son and said, "Little boy, don't care." Tube a lot, die early. ”

The little boy was indignant at the rude old father, waved his fist at his back, and continued to watch the scene.

The vast desert is seamlessly connected with the blue sky.

There was a caravan that did not have any goods, and the leader was a middle-aged man, strangely carrying a wide object on his back, almost as big as his body. The wide thing was wrapped in a large piece of silk, and when you looked closely, the silk was bright and clean, and there was not a single speck of dust. Behind the middle-aged man, more than a dozen people also rode camels, and at the end of the team was a prisoner, who was hooked by an iron hook to the pipa bone. His shoulders were soaked in blood, and when the sand stirred it, the flesh was blurred. But for some reason, the prisoner actually had a sword in his hand and a scroll on his back.

A person in the caravan said: "Master Yue, can't we go to the emperor and go directly from the south, why do we have to pretend to be a caravan from the north?"

Yue Ye said: "Walking from the south will inevitably pass through Jinglin Villa, as soon as they see the person behind them, they will do whatever it takes to save him, so won't our plan fall through." ”

The caravan traveled for a long time, and the red sun was flat in the west, and a strong wind blew on the desert, and the yellow dust rolled and drowned everything.

The sand kept pouring into the prisoner's wound, which should have been painful, but the prisoner didn't know it hurt. Looking at his appearance, his eyes are blank, his face is lonely, and he looks like a walking corpse.

The father-in-law looked at the weather in Raushzi and was very displeased, so he said to his subordinates: "How far is it to go to the post station?"

Familiar with the road said: "Two miles further on, there is a post station, and the yellow-clothed Qinji is waiting for us there." ”

Yue Ye said: "Everyone speed up the horsepower and strive to reach the post station before dark." ”

The caravan sped up its horsepower and walked briskly, and when it reached the post station, the moon rose and the stars were shining brightly in the sky. The frontier is not like the interior, where insects chirp incessantly at night. On this night, it seemed unusually quiet, except for the rustle of the wind and the sand.

When they arrived at the inn, they tied their camels and went down to rest, leaving only a few men to guard the prisoners.

When he was young, a woman in yellow walked out and asked, "Doctor Yue, where is Chu Shaoying?"

Dr. Yue pointed to the prisoner tied to the pillar and said, "Where is it?" ”

The woman in yellow quickly looked over there and said, "Doctor Yue, the emperor has said that Chu Shaoying is our guest, and we want to invite him here, instead of abusing him all the way." ”

Doctor Yue said: "The tiger has to be tightened. ”

The woman in yellow said: "Shaoying, he is now losing all his internal strength, and he is no different from an ordinary person, if you torture him like this, he will definitely not be able to bear it." If he has three longs and two shorts, how are you going to explain to the emperor?"

Doctor Yue took off the things behind his back, held them in his hands, and said: "Since it is the emperor's request, I don't dare to disobey it, okay, Chu Shaoying will be handed over to you, you can't martyr your personal affairs and lose people." After speaking, Dr. Yue pushed open the door and prepared to rest.

The woman in yellow said: "I naturally know this, don't worry about Dr. Yue." Saying that, he personally went to untie Chu Shaoying, entered the room, and wanted to take off the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand and the picture scroll on his back, but Chu Shaoying was stunned and did not react, only holding it tightly with one hand, and protecting her back with the other hand, even though the woman in yellow tried her best, she still couldn't take it off. In the end, the woman in yellow had no choice but to give up and arrange a table of wine and food to entertain him. But Chu Shaoying had no intention of eating at all. The woman in yellow fed him herself, and when she fed him, Chu Shaoying opened her mouth once, swallowed it, and didn't chew it at all.

At night in Mobei, the cold wind is steep. Chu Shaoying's clothes were thin, and due to the loss of internal strength, the whole person shrank into a ball from the cold. The woman in yellow wrapped him in a thick quilt to keep him warm, and Chu Shaoying obediently hid in the quilt and didn't come out. The woman in yellow walked out of the house, tiptoed on the windowsill, and instantly swept onto the roof, looking at the vast desert in a daze. The evening breeze ruffled the strands of hair on her forehead and sideburns, and she just brushed it with her hand before falling back into deep thought. She seemed to be thinking about something, and she had forgotten everything around her. After a long time, she moved around, instantly stood on the ground, walked into the room, and fell asleep with Chu Shaoying, who didn't know what to do.

The next day, as soon as she woke up, Chu Shaoying felt that the headache was unbearable. When the woman in yellow saw that the place on his shoulder that was hooked by the iron hook had already turned into pus, it was swollen like a steamed bun. The woman in yellow found the potion, scrubbed it for him, applied some medicine, bandaged the wound, and then hit the morning sharp.

During the meal, someone told Dr. Yue, "Master Yue, that guy can feel the pain, and the effect of your poison has faded a little." ”

Doctor Yue said: "Don't worry about this, if you want him to be conscious, I'm afraid you can only wait until you get to the emperor." ”

After breakfast, everyone went south. The woman in yellow was afraid that they would abuse Chu Shaoying again, so she rode a camel with Chu Shaoying.

Someone said: "Father-in-law, Huangyi Qinji protects Chu Shaoying so much, is it too indifferent to you." ”

Doctor Yue said: "Forget it, she is a woman, she can't become a climate, I believe she doesn't dare to disobey the emperor's orders." ”

The farther south they went, the warmer the weather became. Some merchants saw them from afar and wanted to stop them, but seeing that they were determined, they stopped meddling. I don't know where to start, but every half mile there is a huge ostrich standing upright to greet everyone. Those ostriches were two to three times larger than ordinary ostriches, with grayish-black feathers and long beaks.

After walking for a few miles, I saw patches of poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, poisonous scorpions, centipedes, toads, etc., all lined up in a neat line and headed in the same direction.
