Volume 1 Youth Tour, Long Journey, Far Away, and Quartet Chapter 74: The Caravan Travels Oddly
Until the evening, the fire was so severe during the day that only half of the houses that could be occupied and stored were left. Under Li Yanhe's arrangement, he could only ensure that the old, young, women and children had a safe place to live, and the rest could only be made by the men in the village.
After spending the night, the Yanyang soldiers who had finished their work arranged their horses and found an open space to prepare to sit on the ground and light a fire for the night.
After the villagers' persuasion, a hut that had not yet been burned was vacated for Li Yanhe and Ye Dangting. Lin Manliu and the other three had no choice but to accept the villagers' request.
When it got dark, the three of them sat on the ground next to the bonfire in front of the hut. Ye Dangting, who finally had some time to relax, looked at the young man in white robe who was playing with branches by the bonfire. Lin Manliu, who noticed his gaze, also looked at him.
He gave a questioning look, as if to confirm if nothing was wrong. Ye Dangting smiled and shook his head.
"When I first met your master, she had a best friend she called Yourong. She was a girl from the Miao village. We traveled together in the past years and tasted hundreds of poisons... These miasma pills and poison sacs are all
There's nothing to be afraid of with the small handle." Ye Dang explained when he heard the young man didn't believe it.
"In the past, when I first met Brother Ye and Miss Eleven, I heard her mention that her method of poisoning was really exquisite, but it has been so many years," Li Yanhe said in response from the side.
"Yes, it has been many years now, but if Yourong hadn't acted the same way back then, maybe I wouldn't even dare to mention it." After hearing this, Ye Dang looked up and looked at the sky. There were stars twinkling from time to time, and he seemed to be beginning to remember.
When I met Shi Yi and You Rong back then, I couldn't help but sigh that when I was young, I was very constrained in my ability to do things well. If You Rong hadn't been there to lend a helping hand, there would probably be no subsequent story.
After hearing this, Lin Manliu came to his senses and asked, "Wait a minute? General Li and this old liar had known each other many years ago? And they also knew my master?".
"Yes, it was easy for me to get to know Brother Ye in the early years. When you first arrived in Chengdu, I was able to identify you only after I received a letter from Miss Eleven. Miss Eleven probably only wrote 'his' to prevent the letter from being circulated.
Disciple." Li Yanhe looked a little confused at the young man's question. It's really strange that he didn't know. And calling Ye Dang just sounded like an old liar... After thinking about it, there is no need to call him so old after thinking about the age difference between the two.
.
At this time, Ye Dang suddenly laughed out loud: "Brother Li, that's how it is. It's probably Shi Yi who is teasing you and me. What I received was 'accepted a disciple' and Shi Yi told this little liar that he was just a kid."
It’s me”.
After saying this, Li Yanhe understood the relationship between the two, and immediately laughed out loud, leaving the young man alone in a daze.
When the man in yellow shirt saw this, he remembered when Ye Dang told him a few days ago that he was the one listening. He hurriedly sat up and looked at the young man, smiling and cursing: "The little liar wants to think about something again, right? It won't happen now."
People advise you."
Lin Manliu naturally knew what he was talking about. He would not make a fool of himself in front of everyone this time. He snorted coldly and turned to look at the sky in the distance. The south was the way home for this trip, and the sky was heading south from there.
, there are stars dotted on it from time to time, as if guiding the wanderers returning home.
When we reach this place, we are not far from home. Tonight, we take this scene as the sky and the earth as our bed, and fall asleep here.
Early morning of April 27th, Xujia Village
The early morning sun still shines on the earth, and the continuous sound of horse hooves can be heard in the distance. The sound does not sound like someone is marching in a hurry, but more like they are marching towards Xujiacun in an orderly manner.
The first ones to notice were Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu, because when it was still dawn, the white-robed boy was kicked awake and went to practice swordsmanship together at the entrance of the village. As the sound of horse hooves and driving cars got closer, the two people practicing swordsmanship at the entrance of the village
Then he followed the sound and looked towards the mountain road where he came from. He saw more than a dozen Yanyang soldiers in front, and behind them were six cargo carriages. In addition to wood, the carriages also had some dry food and cloth.
"Actually, if the royal power were to control it, there might be as few disasters as yesterday or more benefits as today?" Lin Manliu looked at the carts of supplies entering Xujiacun under the command of the Yanyang Cavalry, and gave
Villagers distributed supplies to each household, and then began to help the villagers build temporary houses.
"Today's world is not what it used to be. The world has been unified for more than half a century. However, there are still bandits in the mountains and wilds talking about such ridiculous things as restoring the country. They cannot be beaten for a hundred years. Why did they end up on the road to subjugation in the past?" Ye Dang
The answer is not what you asked.
"In recent years, there has been a lot of chaos in the south. Not only in Jiannan, central Guizhou, Huainan, and Lingnan, bandits and rebels have appeared one after another. Their stated purpose is also very clear, which is to overthrow the country and restore the country. They can be caught.
There are only a few people whose household registrations are related to the previous dynasty, and most of them are some people who are desperate for their lives." Li Yanhe's voice came to the ears of the two of them. It turned out that Li Yanhe came over to find Ye Dang after commanding and dispatching. Lin Man
Sixty-two people.
Hearing that Li Yanhe was coming, Lin Manliu was the first to speak out: "By the way, General Li, I have something to ask. Have you seen the caravan that traveled with me back in recent days or earlier?"
Gate or enter the Chengdu area."
Li Yanhe thought for a moment and then replied: "No, except yesterday, I have been traveling to and from various camps to inspect, and I have not received any signs of caravans passing by." In fact, it was because of Lin Manliu's trip that he came from Yijian
After the news came that the opening of the villa was completed, Li Yanhe kept an eye on the caravans coming in and out of Jiannan when he had nothing to do. However, until he met Lin Manliu and Ye Dangting yesterday, he had never heard of anyone returning from Hangzhou.
The caravan passed somewhere.
Faced with such an answer, Ye Dangting and Lin Manliu could not help but think of their conjectures on the way back a few days ago, because they were speeding along and followed the eastbound route at that time, only bypassing other places in Yuezhou.
The routes are all the same, and the pace is definitely much faster than the caravan that went ahead. Even if they don't catch up, there is no news that the caravan has entered central Guizhou and entered Jiannan.
Lin Manliu was a little worried that the caravan manager did not adopt his suggestion and led people directly through Yuezhou into the border of central Guizhou, and then encountered the disciples of Fengxue Grand View Tower causing trouble. If so, he might have encountered something unexpected.
"In this case, if the caravan was not delayed by something on the road, it probably had an accident... Otherwise, according to their travel time, it is impossible that they have not entered Jiannan at this time." Ye Dang listened and was ready
Prepared for the worst.
"You don't need to worry too much. If you don't have to continue your journey back to southern Xinjiang, I can help you keep an eye on it in the future." Li Yanhe said when he saw that both of them had strange expressions on their faces.
At the same time, Yuezhou Hejiang Station
A young man just came to the door of today's inn. He was wearing a Taoist robe and it looked like there was still wet moisture on it. He must have been washed last night and it has not yet dried. He used a wooden stick as a hairpin and made a bun casually.
Seeing this, passers-by all moved out of the way one by one. No one wanted to provoke such an unknown mountain Taoist priest in the early morning.
The young man dressed as a Taoist priest took out a piece of completely shattered tortoise shell from his arms, shook his head and took it back. Then he stretched out his hand to seal it for a moment before turning around and looking at an alley.
The entrance to the alley was filled with bottles and cans and bamboo frames, making it impossible to enter. The young man approached the entrance and looked at the depths of the dark alley. There were some sundries piled up inside, almost reaching the height of the sides.
The wall was no different from some ordinary alleys. Just as the young man was holding the Dao Jue in his hand and was about to turn around and continue on his way, he suddenly noticed a trace of blood that had not been wiped off at the edge of the debris piled at the entrance of the alley, and it was dotted on the corner wall.
