In this way, the white horse carried his thoughts, step by step away from his homeland, away from those he loved and the people who loved him.
After walking for half a day, they finally changed the horses to camels when they were near the desert. The scorching sun at noon baked the yellow sand and drained Zhao Changyuan's physical strength and energy bit by bit.
Even he himself couldn't figure out where the willpower came from that kept him from rolling off the hump and being buried in the yellow sand.
Lin Mobai did not forget to tease him lively on the road: "Brother Gong, it seems that you need to exercise hard. How can your body bones be so ineffective at such a young age? What will you do when you get old?"
Zhao Changyuan had no intention of arguing with him, but subconsciously looked in his direction. When he focused his gaze, his eyes suddenly turned cold...
Before Lin Mobai's smile faded, he stopped the camel and froze at the moment. The "hissing" sound coming from behind made him feel threatened by death.
The approach of the voice behind him, and the little white face in front of him rising from the camel, happened almost in an instant. Before Lin Mobai had time to make any reaction, Zhao Changyuan's big hand had already come towards him with a whistling palm wind.
His muffled exclamation was heard behind his ears, and with a "click" something exploded. When he pulled his hand back, a poisonous snake as thick as a woman's wrist was already wrapped around his arm.
But the poisonous snake, due to being severely injured, was at the end of its strength and struggled to its death. Within a few seconds, it slipped weakly from his arm, fell to the ground silently, and was buried in the yellow sand in the sky.
Lin Mobai was dumbfounded at this time. He was shocked not because of the snake, but because the pretty boy in front of him, who was so angry just a moment ago, killed the most terrifying murderer in the desert without any effort.
However, only Zhao Changyuan knew in his heart that the killing just now would not happen again in this desert. When he sat on the back of the camel again, almost the entire human-monkey body was on the camel's hump, and he barely survived.
Let yourself fall.
Lin Mobai no longer walked side by side with him, but followed him silently, watching him expressionlessly. To him, Zhao Changyuan was still like the sea in the dark, unfathomable. Fortunately, he had just started
It was the "sand blade" that did it, but fortunately it wasn't him! Fortunately...
Just as Lin Mobai expected, the two of them immersed themselves in the journey and quickly approached their destination without delaying for a moment.
"Ahead is Orchid Valley." Lin Mobai pointed to the bare stone city in the desert not far away and said calmly.
Zhao Changyuan almost suspected that he was confused because he really couldn't associate the bald city in front of him with almost no grass and the three words "Orchid Valley".
Does that herb really grow in a place like this? What went wrong?
Since they were currently in a commanding position, and Zhao Changyuan's eyesight was very extraordinary, when he was suspicious, he suddenly discovered an ancient stone tablet standing under the stone city, with three eye-catching characters engraved on it -
Orchid Valley.
Now that he's here, there's no reason not to find out more. He cheered up again and rode a camel closer to the bald city...
The sun was getting farther and farther away from him, and the desert in front of him was extremely beautiful as the setting sun illuminated it. He had never seen such a strange and beautiful scene.
"When my wife wakes up, I will take her to see this place. It's really beautiful...so beautiful..." Thinking of this, he smiled brightly at the bald city under the setting sun, until suddenly the camel under him stepped on the ground.
, and threw him out. He felt like the world was spinning. There was only an orange sky, an orange desert, and a black figure flying out of the desert at some point.
"It doesn't matter, we will live together and die together..." He whispered to himself with an innocent smile still on his face, falling into the network that had been prepared for him a long time ago.
In fact, given Zhao Changyuan's ability, it was not that he had not expected such a result, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would definitely give it a try, even if there was no recovery ahead.
Lin Mobai, who grew up in the desert, quickly returned to the Yuchi Inn in the Song Dynasty without the burden of Zhao Changyuan. When he arrived at a guest room on the second floor, he knocked on the door nine times, waited for a moment, and knocked again.
After knocking on the door six times, I heard a muffled voice coming from inside: "Come in, the door is unlocked."
The person waiting for him was standing by the window with his back to the door, his long black hair hanging comfortably on the back of his broad back, as if he had just woken up from a big dream. He was tall, and his shadow was dragged on the ground for a long time.
, extending all the way to Lin Mobai's feet. "Everyone is here, what about what I want?" The man spoke coldly, while turning around leisurely, looking at Lin Mobai expressionlessly.
Lin Mobai smiled, took out a brocade box from his wide sleeves and walked towards the other party: "Master Pan, please accept it."
Pan Zhuqing took the box, opened it, took a look, then immediately closed it and placed it on the round table next to him.
Seeing his casual look, Lin Mobai raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Aren't you afraid that this medicine is fake?"
Pan Zhuqing also laughed: "If you are not afraid of causing big trouble for yourself, you can tease me with lies. Anyway, I have nothing to lose."
Lin Mobai was speechless after saying this. The deal that Pan Zhuqing made with him was a completely worthless deal. It was someone else who risked his life. Regardless of gain or loss, he, Pan Zhuqing, was unscathed. What's more, this time he framed Zhao Changyuan.
The plan was Pan Zhuqing's plan from beginning to end, and it was watertight. He, Lin Mobai, was just an actor. With such a sinister guy, who would be willing to have sex with him after eating too much? The medicine is of course real.
of.
"Lin is a little curious, why did you do this? Is it really because of a woman, as the rumors say?" If this is true, then Pan Zhuqing is really full and panicked. It's okay to secretly miss other people's wives.
Is it possible to poison someone to this extent?
Pan Zhuqing had already tied up her hair and put on her cloak. She picked up the sword hanging on the wall in one hand and the herbs she had just obtained in the other. She said lightly: "Just think that I am here for a woman." As he spoke,
, has walked out of the guest room.
Lin Mobai also walked to the window and looked down at the street until Pan Zhuqing appeared in front of him and stepped into a carriage. "My father really didn't miss her at first. This Pan Zhuqing is not a good person, he is so damn vicious."
He curled his lips and muttered, then left the guest room.
"Young Master, is everything going well?" Xue Jiu was already waiting in the carriage.
"Yes." Pan Zhuqing sat down with a calm expression, opened the curtain and told the carriage driver: "Go back to Cangzhou immediately."
The carriage drove away, and Pan Zhuqing leaned on the soft cushions and relaxed himself. "How is that piece of black charcoal now?" The black charcoal he was referring to was Xiao Juan.
Xue Jiu said: "He is locked up in our prison."
"Remember, you can't take his life. If both of them die, we will be exposed." Even without Xiao Juan, Fu Yun would still not like Xue Jiu. Pan Zhuqing knew this very well. But he also understood, Fu Yun's incident had made Xue Jiu feel grudge against him, so he did a favor and packed up Xiao Juan and brought him back.
"Yes." Master Jiu was overjoyed. One less love rival is better than the other. Anyway, now that Zhao Changyuan has been taken care of, Pan Zhuqing's thoughts will only be on Gong Yueyue. Sooner or later, Fu Yun will also be his Master Jiu. But he still felt a little puzzled: "Master, how could you have expected that the person going to Dali would definitely be Xiao Juan?"
"It's very simple. Heitan's prestige in the army is not very brave, and his martial arts and resourcefulness are not as good as my brother's. Compared with others, he is more loyal than others, so letting him go to Dali is more useful than staying in the army."
The carriage continued to gallop for a long time before Xue Jiu asked her doubts: "Young Master, I don't quite understand why you have to teach that guy named Lin to make so many twists and turns to deal with Zhao Changyuan? Just like the guy named Xiao, why don't you just pounce on him directly? Is it over?"
Pan Zhuqing was closing his eyes to rest. When he heard this question, he opened his eyes and replied slowly: "Do you think Zhao Changyuan and Xiao Juan can be on the same level? With his ability, he might be able to scare the snake away. He was prepared this time. Come on, I will be cautious in everything. If I don’t teach Lin Mobai to play hard to get, how can I make him let down his guard? If I don’t let someone add chronic medicine to him in a bowl, and slowly wait until he is exhausted, who can Take him down? Lin Mo was so lucky that he thought of releasing poisonous snakes to test him first, otherwise the man named Lin would be dried in the desert." More importantly, he did not say clearly, Zhao Changyuan's love for Gong Yueyue and his love for Gong Yueyue. Care about it greatly weakens his judgment ability.
At this point, Xue Jiu slowly had an epiphany. Pan Zhuqing continued: "There is also the old beggar and the waiter... Fortunately, I asked Lin Mobai to stop him in time to rescue him, otherwise the two customs clearance documents in Zhao Changyuan's clothes would have to be given to him. Stole it."
Xue Jiu was surprised: "What do you mean?"
Pan Zhuqing nodded and said, "If I guess correctly, the beggar is trying to help Zhao Changyuan and keep him out of the pass."
"Xue Jiu admires the eldest young master's clever calculation."
When Pan Zhuqing heard what he said, he smiled bitterly and leaned back: "I don't want to live so tiredly, but there are some things that once you take the first step, you can't look back."
From the day Zhao Changyuan set out, everyone in the post house was filled with fear. Needless to say, the Zhao family members such as Tian Hai and Xiaomei. The most worried person was, of course, Aunt Six, who had watched Zhao Changyuan grow up since childhood.
Seeing Gong Yueyue lying silently on the hospital bed, she had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she and Gong Yueyue cherished each other, and of course she was unwilling to watch her leave. On the other hand, she could not ignore that it was this woman. Because of her existence, her nephew, who had been obedient and steady since childhood, became more and more unreasonable.
As an outsider, she was moved by the love between Zhao Changyuan and Gong Yueyue. But as a relative of Zhao Changyuan, this love made her unable to avoid feeling a sense of resentment. She knew that her thoughts might be selfish, but they were very true. She had She felt that her sister was dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law in front of her half a year ago. It was not that Gong Yueyue was really bad, but that their relationship cost Zhao Changyuan so much that he no longer even cared about his life.
But after all, Sixth Aunt is a well-educated young woman with more than ten years of education. She will not love or hate blindly. She has never forgotten what Gong Yueyue once said to her when she was awake - "It doesn't matter where I go from now on. In the end,
What I’m worried about is my stupid husband, I want him to live well, regardless of whether I’m around or not.” (To be continued)
