Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 678 found, attacked

True love is not about who pays first and how much is paid, it is a business.

Wei Tuo did not understand this truth.

Zi Nu didn't understand it before, but after getting to know Li Qinzai, she realized that there must be someone in the world who made her willingly give without regret.

He can do nothing, but she just wants to do something for him.

Peel grapes for him in summer, light a fire for him in winter, cut clothes for him, cook for him, and bear children for him.

It also includes going through hardships for him and finding the whereabouts of new grains.

"Wei Tuo, you don't understand, and I can't explain clearly to you why I did this for him." Zi Nu pursed his lips lightly, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Perhaps, in the future, you will meet someone who makes your heart move." Girl, you will understand what I did today."

Wei Tuo said coldly: "I have already encountered..."

In the middle of speaking, Wei Tuo suddenly stopped talking, and then his face gradually softened, and he sighed: "Your Highness, what we are doing is meaningless, it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, that Yi Duo is not an honest person at all, if he planted new grain Hidden in Tochara, we searched all the way there, I don’t know what year and month it is.”

"Your Highness, wake up."

Zi Nu shook his head: "I'm sure that the place where Yi Duo hid the new grain was not in Tocharia, but after we entered the Yang Pass of the Tang Dynasty."

"Back then when I met the pursuers outside Yangguan, Yi Duo said with confidence that he had something that could lead to promotion, so the new grain should be in his luggage or on his body at that time."

"After entering the Yang Pass, Yi Duo became more careful and secretly hid the new grain seeds. He knew that it was his life-saving bargaining chip, and he would never put it on him. Therefore, the scope of our search was from here to now. Yang Guan."

Wei Tuo sighed, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, these are just your guesses."

Zi Nu smiled: "At least this is the direction. As long as I try my best, I won't regret it even if I return in vain. What I'm afraid of is that the new grain is obviously hidden in a place we know well, but I don't know it." go find it."

Zi Nu said earnestly: "It's a very important thing. I want to find it and bring it to Li Qinzai. Seeing him smile happily makes me very satisfied. I don't want to let him down."

Wei Tuo bowed his head sadly and sighed.

Zi Nu looked at him again, and said: "It was not my original intention that you followed me. If you are unwilling and tired, we can part ways at any time."

Wei Tuo hurriedly said: "I'm just complaining, I don't intend to leave, Your Highness, don't talk, let's go to the cave to have a look."

The crowd galloped to the bottom of the canyon, then climbed up the rock, and came to the cave where they lived temporarily that day.

The cave was empty and quiet, and it was pitch black inside. When everyone walked in, the sky was startled by bats.

Zi Nu ordered Wei Tuo to light the torch, and walked slowly inside.

Everyone walked to an open space, and there were still traces of the burned out bonfire on the ground.

"Your Highness, we settled here last time and left after dawn. This cave... probably has no clues." Wei Tuo shook his head and said.

Zi Nu didn't make a sound, and looked around quietly, and found that the temperature in this cave was pleasant. Now that it's spring, the weather is still a bit cold, but the temperature inside the cave seems to be higher than outside.

"Look in the depths, maybe you will get something." Zi Nu whispered.

"I remember that Yiduo slept in the cave that night. If he wanted to hide something, he would quietly get up and walk a few steps into the cave in the middle of the night, so that no one would notice..." Wei Tuo recalled.

Everyone held the torches and continued to walk inside.

Suddenly, Zi Nu sprained his foot and staggered.Just as Wei Tuo was about to reach out to support her, she subconsciously dodged and quickly stood still.

In the darkness, Wei Tuo showed a look of disappointment, but no one noticed.

"Why is this land so protruding?" Zi Nu squatted down, looking at the land that made her almost fall.

With the dim light of the torch, Zi Nu realized that the land under his feet was indeed uneven. He reached out and picked up a little soil, put it in the palm of his hand and looked carefully, and found that the color of the soil was somewhat different from the surrounding ones.

The heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Zi Nu tried to calm down, and began to dig the ground with both hands.

Wei Tuo was taken aback for a moment, and dug the soil together with her.

After digging the soil about half a foot thick, Zi Nu's palms suddenly felt something hard, and his movements froze.

Carefully brush away the soil like an archaeologist, and in the small pit dug out, several fruits slightly larger than the thumb appeared.

"Come closer with the torch!" Zi Nu's voice couldn't contain the excitement.

As the fire came closer, Zi Nu found that these small fruits were dark red, and a few small buds had emerged from the fruits, and the roots below the fruits had been deeply embedded in the soil.

Zi Nu let out a long breath, with a bright smile on his face.

Wei Tuo looked at her quietly, and whispered: "Have you found it?"

Zi Nu nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "I found it."

Looking around again, Zi Nu chuckled and said, "Yiduo is easy to calculate. The climate in this cave is pleasant and the soil is soft. Although the sun does not shine, it is also suitable for planting new grain here temporarily. It will not be difficult to take it out in a few days." It will hurt the roots."

Wei Tuo sneered: "What a bastard, we risked our lives all the way to send him to Datang, but he played tricks on us."

Zi Nu smiled and said: "These few small fruits are probably his only bargaining chip to save his life. Now that it falls into our hands, what else can he rely on?"

"Quick, take a small pot, let's transplant it into the pot and take it away."

"Take it back to Li Qinzai, he must be so happy, hehe!"

The small pots had already been prepared, and they were planning to transplant them when they were looking for new grains. Everyone carefully took out a few fruits from the soil, covered them with soil, and drenched them with a little water.

Zi Nu was in a very excited mood. He was prepared and planned to find Tocharo all the way, but he did not expect to find it in Guanzhong. It was good luck.

"Let's hurry back to Ganjing Village and hand over the new grain to Li Qinzai." Zi Nu said excitedly.

A group of people quickly left the cave and came to the bottom of the canyon.

Just as he was about to ride away, a cold arrow was suddenly shot from behind a boulder not far away.

The cold arrow came so unexpectedly that everyone didn't react at all, and a follower was hit by the arrow.

While the man fell heavily off the horse, the entourage shot by the arrow still shouted hoarsely: "Enemy attack!"

Wei Tuo flew up from the horse, and his first reaction was to rush to Zi Nu, and at the same time he drew his sword and swung it out, just in time to knock another cold arrow aimed at Zi Nu into the air.

"There is an ambush, protect Your Highness!" Wei Tuo turned his head and yelled.

Everyone immediately surrounded Zi Nu, gathered their horses together, and used the flesh and blood of the horses to stand in front of everyone and resist the enemy's cold arrows.

"Come two people, escort His Highness to withdraw first, and the rest will be finished!" Wei Tuo ordered without hesitation.

"Everyone lives and dies together, I won't leave!" Zi Nu said calmly.

Without a word of nonsense, Wei Tuo stretched out his hand and pressed a certain blood vessel on the back of Zi Nu's neck, and Zi Nu fainted without warning.

Wei Tuosui pointed to the two attendants, and said: "Help her on the horse, bring her new crops of grain, and send her to Qingzhou City. In the name of Li Qinzai, ask the governor of Qingzhou for help. Hurry up!"

Without saying a word, the two attendants quickly put Zi Nu on the horse, swung their knives at the incoming cold arrows, and galloped away on the horse.

Wei Tuo's eyeballs were bloodshot, and he took a deep look at the direction Zi Nu was leaving with his red eyes, and then raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Here is someone from Loulan Kingdom, who has the guts to come out and fight to the death with me!"
