He Qizhou grabbed the opponent's pulse at the door of the tent, and without being polite to him, he tapped eight of the opponent's acupuncture points, turning him into a piece of flesh, then picked up Helian Changji and threw him to the In the corner of the tent, put him in a sleeping position facing the tent wall. Helian Changji probably only recovered 20% of his skill due to long-term blood blockage.
Because Helian was in the tent, it was not convenient for He Qizhou and Xu Mu to talk. According to the habit they had developed these days, the two walked out of the tent, chatted about swordsmanship and made love to each other under the stars for a while, and then returned to the tent to sleep. The two of them slept together, back to back, a familiar posture in the desert of Anxi Racecourse.
Xu Mu no longer demanded He Qizhou's sleeping position. Even if the other party's buttocks were extended a few inches and he occasionally rolled over and hooked him, he would let him go. The reason he gave him was that the insidious guy Helian was in the tent. If If I make too much noise, that kid will notice something, so I can only take the disadvantage as taking advantage.
He Qizhou slept soundly for two hours under the pleasant fragrance. He did not forget what he wanted to do and got up to replenish Helian Changji's acupoints.
Helian Changji deliberately let out a few grunts after his acupuncture points were replenished, as if he had been woken up from a dream.
"Stop pretending, you can open all the acupuncture points in half an hour at most." In the same tent, He Qizhou could certainly hear the flow of Qi of the other party.
"Yes, can you help me turn over? I'm going numb if I stay in this position." Helian Changji begged.
"No." He Qizhou found that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, his first reaction was "No!" Then he couldn't help but lift Helian Changji to the other side of the tent, and still let him face the wall, which was regarded as turning over for him. Personal.
"Thank you." Helian Changji was polite.
"I'll let you sleep on your stomach every day if you keep arguing!" He Qizhou said and continued to sleep next to Xu Mu. He sniffed the gentle body fragrance that could only be smelled within a few inches of him. Then he received an elbow on his stomach and could only be obedient. turned around...
"You're so stupid! You're going to piss me off to death!" He Qizhou couldn't help but get angry when he saw that Helian Changji actually took half an hour to close the tent, but finally managed to do it with his own help. Flip to the ground.
Xu Mu, who was at the front of the team, said apologetically to Mai Dijiang: "Uncle Mai, you can go."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The little guy is just sick. It's normal for his hands and feet to be slow. Tell your brother not to be so angry." Mai Dijiang sympathized with the poor servant named Chang Ji.
"Oh, don't pity Chang Ji. He became a slave because of the word 'bad'. We discipline him for his own good." Xu Mu explained that any punishment against Helian Changji is not excessive, let alone It's just a beating and scolding.
"Stop pretending to be dead! Put everything on the carriage quickly and then drive." He Qizhou shouted to Chang Ji who was on the ground.
"I have never done this before, and I have just had my acupuncture treatment done, so my hands and feet are weak..." Helian Changji staggered and ran towards the carriage.
"Fuck you! Now you can defeat ten big men who don't know martial arts with one finger. Is it fun to pretend to be stupid in front of me?" He Qizhou was really a little angry. That guy really knew how to pretend, and he was so insidious. Angry to the core, he raised his hand and wanted to slap the other person, but when he saw Maidi Jiang looking in front of him, he could only stop his hand and gestured to Helian Changji to climb onto the carriage quickly.
After walking on the grassland for three days, Helian Changji felt that the menial work he had done in these three days was countless times more than what he had done in his previous life! Chopping wood, mowing grass, making fires, cooking, boiling water, setting up tents, washing
Ma, wash the dishes, wash the pot... I shamelessly wanted to wash the feet of the two uncles, but those two damned men didn't mind the smell of their own feet, but rather the smell of his hands, so they kicked him to the ground;
Helian Changji also discovered that he had been beaten and scolded hundreds of times more in three days than he had been in his entire life. He Qizhou's eyes had never left him. He started to speak harshly when he slacked off a little bit.
If I had to explain a little more, I would definitely miss a real punch and kick, but I didn't dare to use even half of my inner strength to resist.
Xu Mu was quite polite and didn't scold him very much. He came to persuade him a few times, but every time after he persuaded him, he couldn't help but correct him. He used more force than He Qizhou! He didn't put all his hard work into consideration.
Thirty to forty percent of his internal strength was scattered, as if he would never give up until he was crippled.
On the fourth day, Helian Changji finally learned his lesson and stopped taking time to practice during the day. Anyway, he practiced more and got beaten more. He became proficient in doing the daily tasks, his hands and feet were agile, and he was beaten and scolded again.
There is a little less; the mouth is tighter. The two uncles will say whatever they say. They will never contradict each other, and it will not make people feel the slightest intention to contradict. That kind of respect, even if they are facing the emperor,
It has never happened before. But the hatred is growing every moment. All the sins suffered are just waiting for the opportunity to be returned to those two people thousands of times.
"Changyi!"
"Sir, I'm here." Helian Changji hurriedly put away his thoughts and ran to He Qizhou quickly.
"There is someone in front of you. Use this to cover your face. If others notice your presence, I guarantee you will suffer a hundred times more than you are now." He Qizhou threw a gauze scarf from the pocket beside the saddle.
It had been used in the desert of the Western Regions and had not been washed for more than ten days. The smell... He Qizhou himself didn't want to smell it anyway.
"I've been living in the capital for a long time, and it's unlikely that anyone here will recognize me." Helian Changji really didn't want to cover himself with this gauze that could smell the disgusting smell from a distance.
"Pa!" He Qizhou was not polite and slapped Helian Changji on the head, saying: "Others can cover it, but you can't?" The wind and sand on the grassland are actually not small, and many people are covered with veils.
Xu Mu would also cover herself with a gauze scarf during the day.
"Yes." Helian Changji silently picked up the gauze scarf on the ground and tied it directly around his mouth and nose without even frowning.
He Qizhou admired the other party's forbearance. Although he knew that the other party had a heart like a poisonous snake, he still said apologetically: "I don't really mean to tease you. I hope you understand that if someone recognizes you, it will be a big surprise to everyone."
It’s not a good thing. If you really dislike the smell, just rinse it yourself when no one is around.”
"I understand, thank you for your sympathy." Helian Changji seemed to be moved to tears.
"Unfortunately, we encountered horse bandits again. I don't know if I can take advantage of the Lotus Gang." Jiang, who was in front of the caravan, said to Xu Mu. More than a hundred feet away in front of the caravan, four or five horsemen stopped in progress.
in the direction.
"What should I do?" Xu Mu asked.
"Boss, let me go and take a look." A man ran out from behind Mai Dijiang. After taking out two wood-carved lotus flowers from his arms, he rode up to meet them. Then he seemed to have a few words with the people who were blocking the road, and threw them to
After getting a bag of things from the other party, he ran back in a hurry.
"How?" Mai Dijiang asked. "It's Gray Fox. I only asked for one hundred taels. They said we didn't have to give it to Tongwan City, nor on the return trip. They also reminded us to avoid the officers and soldiers on the grassland. Recently, there have been more and more patrols."
It’s getting denser.”
Mai Dijiang frowned and said to Xu Mu: "The Gray Fox can be regarded as one of the top gangsters here. They must have been outnumbered by the Lotus Gang recently, and they dare not take more than the Lotus Gang. Of course, it may also be
I'm afraid of being chased by the army, but fortunately they keep their word, so we don't have to worry about horse bandits along the way."
"The Sword Comes"
"Is one hundred taels a lot? Why is he still frowning?" Xu Mu was a little curious.
"It's not much, there are just officers and soldiers! Those soldiers move around, unlike local officials and bandits who only need to pay a small tribute once. It is bad luck to encounter them. Not only are there more, but the same army will be divided into two parts.
I have seen him several times and I have to pay him every time. Alas, I will probably lose money this time!" Maidijiang sighed.
"Isn't that worse than bandits? Doesn't the court care?" Xu Mu asked.
"Local officials can't control it, and they don't dare to. If they sue the local government, it's simply unaffordable for a small business like mine. If you encounter them, you'll have to consider yourself unlucky," said Maidi Jiangdao.
"The grassland is so big, maybe we can avoid it." Xu Mu comforted Maidijiang, but he was actually comforting himself. If anyone in the army here knew Helian Changji, then the road ahead would be difficult.
"I hope so." Maidijiang sighed.
What are you afraid of? Why are you here? After the caravan had gone more than ten miles, they really ran into half a battalion of cavalry. Seeing the caravan advancing, the cavalry changed their marching route and ran straight over.
"Who are you? What are you doing sneakily? Stop all of them." A leading member of the Hundred Households ordered the caravan to stop.
"Master Jun, we are serious businessmen from the Wusun Kingdom." The man who just sent the horse bandits came forward to greet them.
"Are you the shopkeeper?" the officer asked.
"Isn't it small..." The man who greeted the officer handed him a bag of silver, estimated to be more than two hundred taels.
The officer glanced at it, but did not extend his hand. He just shouted: "Go away and ask your shopkeeper to come over and talk."
"I am the shopkeeper, my name is Mai Dijiang, and I would like to ask the military master for instructions." Mai Dijiang reluctantly jumped off the camel and walked to the officer.
"Horse bandits have been rampant here recently, have you encountered them along the way?" the officer asked condescendingly without dismounting.
"Never encountered it before." Buyi Jiangdao.
"We still need to conduct routine inspections of personnel and cargo. Ask your people to watch the camels and stand still. Come and check!" After the officer said this, he waved his hand, and a dozen soldiers immediately dismounted and rushed to the cargo.
Starting with a camel, directly dump the goods in the cargo boxes hanging on both sides of the camel on the ground, and then use the scabbard to pull them out.
"Everyone take off their veils!" the officer ordered again, and a man walked out from behind him, holding a scroll in his hand, and started comparing them from Mai Dijiang.
Xu Mu was also in the front row. He glanced at the scroll and saw that it was a portrait of a young man, who looked at least 67% similar to Helian Changji. He couldn't help but be shocked.
What's even more important is buying Dijiang, not to mention the blankets and fabrics. Those gold and silver vessels with patterns and hammers are all exquisite treasures. In some places, the walls of the vessels are extremely thin, and they are sold just as craftsmanship. How can they stand up to this?
After beating him, he hurriedly took out a bag of gold coins from his arms, handed it to the officer and said, "Master Jun, we are really businessmen of the Wusun Kingdom. If you don't believe me, take a look at this?"
