A group of escorts from the Baisha Escort Bureau took the escort car on the road again. When they entered Zhangzhou City, everyone was in high spirits and joy. When they left, one-tenth of the number of personnel had been lost, and morale had also become a little low.
Head escort Li told Qiao Xianyong not to disclose the contents of the letter to anyone, so as not to cause internal panic. Qiao Xianyong kept the secret as promised, but even so, the escort masters who had been traveling in the world for many years also had their own judgments, and they were all talking about whether the thief was good or not.
Missed, the enemy's goal is not just for the death of Escort Master Gao and others, they must be here for this escort trip.
The official road leaving Zhangzhou City is relatively well-repaired, but there are endless stretches of towering Cangshan Mountains on both sides. The waiter led the team forward with "Hewu" after another, and everyone kept walking, even the horses seemed to
No one knew how tired they were, and rushed on their way full of energy.
As I had recuperated mentally and physically in Zhangzhou City a few days ago, I walked eighty or ninety miles that day without incident. The sun was about to set, and the mountains and forests were reflected in a crimson color by the sunset.
.
Escort Master Yu was still following the leader of the team, Escort Li. At this time, he said, "Executive Escort Li, it's strange why there are so few people on this road. I remember that a year ago I escorted Escort through this official road.
, there was an endless stream of people coming and going at that time.”
Li Biaotou looked around vigilantly and lowered his voice and said, "After the new emperor ascended the throne, it is said that he built a large number of palaces and villas in various places. The treasury was seeing a shortage, so he had no choice but to increase the tax every year. The common people were miserable.
, there is no money in the pocket, and the businessman naturally has less business to do. Usually this official road is only filled with traders traveling from north to south, but now I am afraid that they will not be able to work anymore and will go back to their hometown to farm."
Just as he was talking about this, he saw a horse galloping in front of him. It was the Lei escort sent by Mr. Li to explore the way ahead. After dismounting, the Lei escort said to Mr. Li, " Mr. Li, there are no villages ahead.
There is no one home. There is only a slightly flat meadow four or five miles ahead. I think we can only rest there tonight."
Li Biaotou nodded and said, "That's normal." Then he shouted, "Work harder and walk another two or three miles, and you can rest today!"
Finally, there were sighs of joy among the escort team, and the speed of their feet became much faster.
As expected, they hadn't gone very far, and Captain Lei led everyone from the official road to the east and turned into the forest. After walking for another half a mile, everyone's eyes suddenly opened up. The meadow in the forest was bigger than Captain Li had imagined.
Coincidentally, there is a small waterfall on the east side of the meadow against the mountain, which flows down to form a stream, which is perfect for the horses to drink and rest. Li Biaotou nodded with satisfaction and let everyone do their own thing according to their respective division of labor.
Half an hour later, the sun had set, but the afterglow of the sunset was still there. Everyone took out the dry food and water bottles in their backpacks to prepare for the day's dinner. The horses also gathered by the stream to drink and fill their stomachs.
Sitting or lying down, gnawing the grass under their hooves.
Mao Mao chewed the sesame seed cakes in his mouth and said, "When will this fucking life end? If I had known, staying in the house sweeping the floor and planting flowers would be better than this!" Then he collapsed on the ground and sighed, "
I’m so exhausted!”
Guo Tieniu glanced at him with disdain and said, "You are afraid of hardship and tiredness, but you still come to work as escorts. Brother Mao, you are really funny."
Mao Mao glared at Guo Tieniu and said, "You know nothing!" He wanted to curse again, but when he saw the sharp eyes of the thunder escort, he immediately shut his mouth.
Qiao Xianyong had no intention of participating in everyone's chat. He sat alone on the ground and was lost in thought. He was still thinking about the Flying Madonna he saw a few days ago, and vague fantasies appeared in his mind. Was the Madonna revered by everyone the same as he was three years ago?
Ling Fei'er, whom I met at the Baiyun Temple at the foot of Wushan Mountain? This matter is too strange. When can I see the Master, I must talk to the Master. The Flying Virgin Mary preaches to the believers that walking between Yin and Yang must be
She is also using the power of her own red rough stone, Shura Qiqiaoxin. Just looking at her appearance, she seems to be able to skillfully use the ability of this rough stone.
Qiao Xianyong had ten thousand questions in his heart, but he didn't know who to discuss with. At this time, he seemed to hear a sound coming from the forest with his sharp ears. It was not the wind whistle, not the chirping of birds, nor the chirping of insects, but the sound of bells!
The tinkling bells were like the sound of musical instruments playing, emitting a combination of high and low sounds, which was very pleasant to the ear. The ringing was getting closer and closer. It sounded like it was not passing by on the nearby official road, but towards the Baisha Escort Agency.
This is where you come from!
Gradually, not only Qiao Xianyong, but also everyone else heard the mysterious ringing in the dense forest at night. Although the ringing was beautiful, no one showed an expression of enjoyment. Without waiting for Li's command, they all took out their weapons.
Blade, all looked towards the direction where the ringing sound appeared.
Li Biaotou frowned, his face immediately filled with murderous intent, and he stared in the direction where everyone was looking without saying a word.
What is supposed to come will always come. In a moment, a man wearing colorful robes appeared in everyone's sight. Mao Mao stood closest and was startled. The blade in his hand was about to be raised immediately. The man next to him
Escort Yu winked at him, indicating that he should be calm and wait to see what the formation was like.
As expected, the person who came here was not just the person in the colorful robe. Not only was this person dressed in fancy clothes, but his face was also covered with colorful paint. He couldn't even see his face clearly, but he also wore a colorful five-pointed soft hat on his head.
There was a small flower bell hanging down from each corner of the soft hat. This colorful man ignored the eyes of everyone in the Baisha Escort Bureau and walked forward. Only Qiao Xianyong and others discovered that he had a colorful rope tied around his waist.
, the rope was stretched straight.
Only then did everyone see a boy standing on the colorful rope, about less than one meter tall. The boy was wearing more fancy clothes than the person pulling the rope, and even the cloth boots on his feet were unknown.
How many pieces of floral fabric are it made of?
The back end of the rope is also tied around the waist of a person wearing a colorful robe. The rope is about one foot long, and the distance between the two people is only about one foot. However, the boy is standing steadily in the middle.
He put his hands on his hips, and even though his face was painted with colorful paint, you could still see that he was looking at everyone with a lively expression.
Bouncer Li pushed aside the crowd, walked up to the three of them, and asked, "Who is breaking in?"
The boy clapped his hands and said, "Take it!" The two colorful people didn't know what kind of movement they used, and they quickly moved closer to each other, and the rope was also taken away in an instant.
And the little boy quickly jumped onto the shoulders of the two men in the flash of lightning, and stepped on their shoulders with two feet, one on the left and one on the right. He was immediately much taller than Biao Li.
