Xiaosheng is not a nerd

Chapter 1590 Escort

The so-called Hunting Festival means that women act as hunters and men are hunted as prey, and the hunted man becomes the woman’s husband.

Because of this tradition, the women of Wenren Ranch are extremely strong and strong. They are truly as good as women and are more beautiful than men.

On the eve of the Hunting Festival, the Wenren Ranch became lively at night with the sound of the matouqin, and bonfires lit everywhere illuminated the vast grassland.

The men gathered together to discuss tomorrow's strategy. Tomorrow they will play a not very nice role - rabbit.

Of course, men do not want to be hunted by women casually, unless the person who hunts them is the one they like and escapes this disaster. When the Hunting Girl's Day comes, it will be their turn to be the hunter so that they can hunt down the girl they love.

This is like a war between men and women, in which marriages are formed and passed down from generation to generation.

As we chatted, many men cast their eyes on a beautiful girl. She was wearing leggings and riding boots and a red dress. The other women were wearing gold and silver silk hats and had only one red hair. The cloth was bundled up, and her long temples hung down her shoulders and hung over her chest. The night wind blew, and the firelight reflected on her graceful chest, causing bursts of fiery red ripples.

What a graceful yet heroic daughter of the prairie.

She is the rich daughter of Wenren Ranch and the most beautiful princess in this grassland. She is the most beloved and admired object of all the brave men in this land. Her name is Wen Renling.

It's just that Wen Renling never participated in the Hunting Man's Festival. It was said that she was born with mysophobia and couldn't stand the smell of men and couldn't stand being close to men. This was the first time they saw Wen Renling appear at the Hunting Man's Festival.

Could it be that Wen Renling has overcome her mysophobia and is preparing to participate in this year's Hunter's Day? The men here are eager to move, and their hearts are burning like a bonfire.

The women are more lively and lively than the low-key men. They are singing and dancing around the fire, laughing everywhere. Strictly speaking, this is their show, and the men are just one person tomorrow. A rabbit, waiting to be hunted.

As the focus of this grassland, Wen Renling attracts the attention of men, and also attracts the attention of women. They begin to guess why Princess Ling is here and whether she will participate in the Hunting Man's Festival tomorrow.

If Princess Ling participates, tomorrow's Hunting Festival will become more interesting, and they will be more confident of catching all these cunning rabbits.

Wen Renling looked at this scene of endless joy, but her heart was filled with a sense of independence from the world and a loneliness hidden in her heart.

She was full of passionate love, but she couldn't see the thick and messy beard, and could vaguely see the smile on the corner of her mouth. Without him, this hunter's feast had nothing to do with her.

Why did she appear on this occasion, but there was a trace of hope in her heart, ready to use the colorful clothes woven by her thoughts to snare the true love in her heart, but it was a pity that everything was wishful thinking.

Good brother, my sister will also grow old. One day I will be too old to ride a horse, so how can I chase you?

She made a fuss and opened the cork of the wine bag. The wine was so strong that it choked her nose. Wen Renling opened her red lips and drank heavily. She only drank the strongest wine, and she always did so.

The men who were watching this scene were fascinated by it and wished they could get closer to her and have a drink with her.

The women were in awe. Princess Ling had always been their role model. She was the hottest, hottest, sassiest and most beautiful woman.

Wen Ren Ling seemed to be drunk at the first sip. She leaned on her tall rouge horse, gently stroking the fiery red mane on the horse's head.

The rouge horse seemed to feel the sadness of its master, raised its head high, and let out a neighing sound like a dragon's roar.

What a divine horse! Who can escape the pursuit of this divine horse? As long as she wants, even the bravest man in this land will find it difficult to escape from her palm.

As the divine horse neighed, an eagle's cry cut through the sky like a phoenix, but it was heard softly on Wen Renling's shoulder. The firelight reflected it, but it was a golden eagle.

These are the golden eagles tamed by Wen Renling, and they are also her sharpest eyes.

People in this land have always used the tradition of taming eagles. However, eagles, as birds of prey, are rebellious by nature. It is not easy to tame a loyal eagle. It is also enviable to own an eagle.

As the overlord among raptors, the golden eagle is larger than the eagle, has wide and strong wings, and dares to prey on wolves and leopards.

Of course, golden eagles are inherently rare. It is extremely difficult to find a young eagle, and it is even more difficult to successfully tame it.

The golden eagle stood on Wen Renling's shoulder, pecking at the tiny, hard-to-see dirt on her hair.

While being teased by the golden eagle, Wen Renling opened her eyes and looked at this extremely handsome giant eagle. This golden eagle was in its prime, and it was time to let it go.

According to the ancestral teachings of generations, falcons need to be released again after they reach adulthood so that they can thrive better. This culture of falconry can be upheld without causing harm to the species.

Wen Renling had an epiphany in an instant and made up his mind. He pointed towards the darkness in the distance, and the golden eagle on his shoulder flew out like an arrow from the string.

At the same moment, Wen Renling also jumped on his horse and chased the eagle.

Puff puff, the hooves fell like muffled thunder, the man on horseback was vigorous and heroic, and the red clothes rolled and fluttered, just like a dark scroll, a fire phoenix appeared on the canvas and drew colorful lines jumping on the canvas.

Everyone stood up and watched the fire phoenix fade into the light of the fire and disappear into the night.

Where is their princess going?

In the vast stillness of the night, heavy darkness hangs above the sky. Wen Renling gallops alone on horseback, passing through this gloomy space under the dark night, until the sky reveals a ray of light, illuminating the mountains, rivers, and trees... …

The radiance shone brightly, and the beautiful scenery unfolded in front of her eyes. Wen Renling had never witnessed the spring scenery at dawn. When she just took a look, a certain kind of warmth dispelled the unbearable gloom in her heart.

She looked at the lush scenery around her, including the gurgling river, the dark green riverbanks, and the lush greenery of the dense woods. Her soul was so beautiful that she was speechless.

Her heart was warming and rising, like the morning dew turning into flying mist.

After galloping all night, Yanzhi Ma found a river to drink by himself. Wen Renling drank to quench his thirst, washed his face and cheered up, and looked at the beautiful and towering mountain not far away, which should be Daguan Mountain.

That's where she will release the golden eagle into the wild. Golden eagles belong in the mountains.

And this thin river meandering up should be the direct flow of the Wei River.

The golden eagle returned, hovering overhead and making a cry. Wen Renling knew that this was the sign of someone.

Low-level falcons can only be used to assist in hunting, while high-level falcons can also be used for reconnaissance.

Wen Renling whistled, and the golden eagle flew above to lead the way. Wen Renling rode his horse to follow.

On a certain bank of the winding river, there was stationed a group of people and horses, a dozen carriages, and dozens of people escorting them. The number of people was about a hundred. Judging from the decoration, it should be a caravan from the Central Plains, and the carriages should be It's goods.

These goods, which are common in the Central Plains, become rare once they arrive in Beidi, and their value can increase dozens or even hundreds of times. And they do not hesitate to spend months, travel thousands of miles, and risk many dangers along the way, just to earn these goods. High profits.

If you can successfully reach Beidi, you can then carry goods from Beidi and resell them to Daguan Country, and you can make a lot of money.

Once you take a trip, you can enjoy it for a lifetime, but it is thousands of miles away, and anything can happen, including natural and man-made disasters. Not everyone can do this narrow escape profession.

But some people like the thrill of a narrow escape, such as Zhuo Wangbei, the leader of this team.

Zhuo Wangbei is a member of the Huo family's caravan. He has been traveling between Beidi and Daguan Kingdom for ten years. He has walked this road back and forth no less than ten times. He has experienced countless dangers of life and death. He has countless scars on his body, the most obvious one. What's more, there are several hideous scars on his face, as well as the blind eye covered by a blindfold. It is not an exaggeration to say that his experience is that of a veteran who has survived dozens of fights on the battlefield. His most proud deed was escaping from the Tiger Clan, and that time, he was the only one in the entire convoy to survive.

Later, he never encountered the tiger tribe that was more ferocious than wild beasts. If it were classified as a human being, Zhuo Wangbei would prefer to classify it as a ferocious beast or a monster.

The early morning light woke up everyone who had rested all night. Some people were packing up their belongings while eating dry food, and some were responsible for driving the horses to drink water and feed them in preparation for departure.

When resting, you need to conserve your energy, and when traveling, you need to be as fast as if you were marching. This is the experience that Zhuo Wangbei has accumulated over the years, and facts have also proved that this experience can minimize risks.

Zhuo Wangbei took the dry food and walked towards one of the carriages. Unlike other carriages with open tops and large cloths, this was a standard covered carriage. The windows were obviously used to seat people.

There is no need to cover it up, in a place like this, goods are more valuable than human life.

Through the curtain, Zhuo Wangbei said politely: "Miss Qiu, let's have something to eat."

A flawless white jade hand poked out from the car curtain, took the dry food and retracted it into the car curtain.

This is the most beautiful hand Zhuo Wangbei has ever seen, and his knowledge of the person in the car is limited to this beautiful hand.

That night this mysterious woman found him and asked to follow his caravan to Beidi, and she made a price that he couldn't refuse.

The Huo family caravan has been doing some shady things behind the scenes, and "giving people away" is one of them, and these people being escorted have done some big things and are eager to escape somewhere.

This mysterious woman was able to find him and bring up such a request, so she obviously knew the details of the Huo family team very well.

And Zhuo Wangbei also understands that the less you know about some things, the better. If you can, don't ask, just get paid to do things.

"Master Zhuo, we are there now." A pleasant voice came from the car curtain, which made people feel that she was a charming woman.

"We have arrived around Daguan Mountain. After passing Daguan Mountain, we will go to Anxi Mansion. Then we can have a good rest and the lady can also take a bath."

Miss Qiu smiled and said: "The road to Daguan Mountain is not difficult to walk, right?"

Zhuo Wangbei responded: "We don't need to walk on the mountain road, it's not difficult to walk. There are two broken gorges in Daguan Mountain. The northern end is Xumi Mountain and the eastern foot is Kongtong Mountain."

"Master Zhuo, which way should we take?"

"The north end, of course."

"Oh, Liupanxia."

Zhuo Wangbei smiled and praised: "Miss Qiu is familiar with geography."

Miss Qiu said: "I heard that Liupan Gorge is a dangerous pass. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains. The most vulnerable place to be ambushed was Xiao Pass in the Han Dynasty."

Zhuo Wangbei smiled and said: "Today is no better than in ancient times. There was Anxi Prefecture sitting in front of us. Xiaoguan was already desolate in the Han Dynasty. It was hard to see even a bird in this land of poor mountains and rivers. I have walked this road no less than ten times. Please rest assured, Miss Qiu.”

"Okay." A jade hand poked out from the curtain again: "Master Laozhuo can help me get some water."

Zhuo Wangbei took the water bag: "You're welcome."

At this moment, a sound like the sound of a phoenix was heard, and then a large golden eagle was seen hovering above everyone's heads.

Someone drew his bow and was about to shoot the eagle. Zhuo Wangbei left quickly and shouted loudly: "Stop!"

The giant eagle never preys on humans. This eagle hovering above everyone's heads is clearly tame.

What's more, as the overlord of raptors, the golden eagle is extremely difficult to tame, and the owner of the golden eagle is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Everyone Qiu, what happened?"

"A flying eagle came."

"Is it a golden eagle?"

Qiu Ruyi lifted a corner of the curtain and looked up at the sky. It was a golden eagle: "Yes."

Yilan said: "This kind of golden eagle has a sound like a phoenix and is used for detection and warning. Even in Beidi, very few people can successfully tame it."

"Don't worry, I will escort you to Beidi safely."

"Everyone Qiu, I have wronged you."

It turns out that Qiu Ruyi did not want to take Yilan back to Chang'an, but escorted Yilan back to Beidi.

Moreover, the two women had colluded in advance without telling Xie Fu. Standing in Yilan's position, she did not want to implicate Xie Fu.

But from Qiu Ruyi's position, considering the overall situation, this matter cannot be done by Xie Fu anyway, so she should do it, just to repay Xie Fu for dedicating himself to feeding wolves.

As for why he hid it from Xie Fu, it was naturally because Xie Fu was too emotional and could easily make mistakes.

Zhuo Wangbei soon saw a horse galloping towards him. Although he was riding alone, the sound of galloping hooves gave people the illusion of a thousand troops.

As the horses galloped closer, everyone saw that she was a woman in red, riding a horse with a heroic figure, like a flying phoenix on horseback.

Seeing that there was only one person, and it was a woman, the people who were waiting for him relaxed a little.

The rouge horse raised its front hooves high and neighed like a dragon. Wenren Ling reined in the horse and stopped, looking around at the convoy of hundreds of people.

Zhuo Wangbei secretly praised in his heart, what a handsome rouge divine horse. He already had a vague idea of ​​who the woman in front of him was, so he stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "Could it be that the young lady is Miss Wenren, the daughter of Wenren Ranch?"

Wen Renling was not surprised that this person told her identity. She was too famous in this area. The rouge divine horse and the red dress were so easy to recognize. She asked directly: "Who are you? Come here." What to do?”

"We are the Huo family's caravan. We want to transport goods to Anxi Mansion. We passed by here. Because we were in a hurry, we did not visit Wenren Ranch. Please forgive me, Miss."

Wen Renling asked: "Which way do you want to go to Anxi Mansion?"

"Liupan Gorge."

"There are tiger tribes nearby, I suggest you take a detour." The Huo family and Wenren Ranch also often have transactions, so Wen Renling kindly reminded them.
