Sword God Wine Ancestor

Chapter 867 Ili, Caravan

After parting with everyone, Su Bai rushed to Shangjing by himself. In fact, he had just left the Gobi Desert. Forty or fifty miles away was Yili, a famous city in Jiangzhou. This Yili was also on the way to Shangjing, so Su Bai made a slight turn and headed towards Yili.

After all, it’s not easy to come to the desert. When you arrive in this northwest land, even if you can’t enjoy the exotic scenery, it’s always good to take a look. It’s a pity if you just gallop away?

Chi Yun trotted all the way, and it was dusk when he arrived in Yili, and it was even more coincidental that Su Bai was able to stay here for one night.

Standing outside Yili City, looking at the loess city wall in front of him, Su Bai secretly sighed that it was very different from the city in the Central Plains. After entering the city, most of the houses on both sides of the street are made of earth and stone, and there are very few houses made of wood and brick. , the streets are not very wide and straight, obviously the planning is not very good.

And on both sides of the road, there are various stalls, selling some furs and satins, or various special melons and fruits, self-brewed wine and so on.Girls with high nose bridges and eyes of different colors are covered with gauze scarves, covering their mouths, noses and hair. Only half of their straight noses are exposed, but their eyes seem to have deep meaning. They are staring openly at Su who is riding a horse. white.

Of course, Su Bai was not timid. Although he had never been here before or after time-traveling, nor had he seen so many girls of other races, and he was surrounded by all kinds of people, but he was in the innate realm after all. Small scene!Besides, maybe it's because he doesn't look exactly the same as the people here, so people are more curious, so they stare at him?After all, there should not be many Central Plains people here, right?

Just thinking about this, Su Bai swept his eyes and found a caravan not far away, with various special items of Xinjiang on it. It was obviously a caravan. It was not surprising at all, but Su Bai found that the people in the caravan were He is from the Central Plains, which is nothing at all, but just now he felt that there are not many people from the Central Plains here, and he was immediately slapped in the face, which made him pay more attention.

Because of this attention, Su Bai found that there were two people in the caravan who seemed to be arguing about something. Judging from the appearance of the two, they should be the principals of the caravan. Su Bai was inevitably curious, and his ears had already gone ahead Inquired about the past.

"Second brother Qiao, we can't delay this batch of goods! You know what's going on with our family now, if we don't get this batch of goods back quickly, the money will really be lost!"

The person who said this looked to be in his 30s, with deep crow's feet around his eyes, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

The second brother Qiao looks older, with gray temples, but lighter wrinkles on his face, and fair skin, he should be a landlord and rich man who is pampered at home, not the kind who travels outside. .

Brother Qiao's expression was also very dignified, and he sighed: "Brother Wang, I know the situation at home better than you! Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here in person! But it's not like you don't know the current situation! The eleventh prince It looks like we are about to hit Shangjing! Can we go back now? Let's see the situation first!"

Su Bai originally wanted to hear what the other party had to say, but he didn't want to hear such news, and his expression changed immediately. The eleventh prince is about to call Shangjing?How can this be!

He knocked his feet on the horse's belly, and Chi Yun took two steps forward, and arrived in front of the caravan. There were not many people riding horses on this street, and the two of them saw that Su Bai was obviously coming towards him. , of course also noticed Su Bai, and paused the discussion.

Su Bai got off his horse, clasped his fists at the two of them, and said, "Brothers, is what you just said true?"

The two of them were very confused when they heard this, and they didn't quite understand what Su Bai was talking about, but that brother Wang quickly realized and said with a smile, "What's the matter with this brother? Could it be that he wants to go with you?" Back to the Central Plains?"

Su Bai also understood that the two of them didn't understand what he said, and said again: "Brothers, I accidentally overheard your conversation just now. I heard that the eleventh prince is going to enter Shangjing? Is this true?"

Only then did the two of them know why Su Bai came here. The second brother Qiao looked in a bad mood and sighed after hearing the words: "I also hope that this is not true, but this is the news that just came over. Ten days ago two days ago The prince broke through the city of Chang'an and marched all the way to the east, and now he is about to go to Beijing, even to the capital!"

Su Bai saw that the other party didn't seem to be lying, and he didn't know the other party at all, but he just heard the other party talking suddenly, and it was even more impossible for the other party to lie to him, so this matter is true?The eleventh prince is the four thousand-year-old family. Are they really going to go to Beijing?

He has only been in the desert for less than ten days, right?The situation of the battle has changed so much!How is this possible!
No wonder Su Bai didn't believe it. We must know that the court of the Wu Dynasty was not made of mud. The Zhao family of the royal family also knew very well the strength of the four thousand-year-old families, so they responded accordingly. Even the fifth and seventh princes temporarily submitted to the court. Prepared to keep going to the outside world, and the other party did exactly that. After the two princes were crowned kings, they led their troops to Chang'an City.

In the end, you told me that after the two princes arrived in Chang'an, not only did the situation not improve, but they were completely defeated!Why does Su Bai think that the reason why the four thousand-year-old families have been keeping a low profile before is that after they beat the second prince's troops to Chang'an City, they didn't make any other moves. Maybe the other party has been waiting for the fifth and seventh princes to join them. Good catch!If these three forces suffered heavy losses, then the entire Wu Dynasty might also suffer heavy losses. The four thousand-year-old aristocratic families took advantage of the victory and pursued them like a broken bamboo. It is really possible to directly hit Shangjing!
Su Bai's face changed again and again, and he already believed that this matter was true. After all, the other party would not lie to him, and judging by the appearance of these two people, he did not really want this to happen.

Suddenly, he thought of the Fang family and the Qin family in Chang'an City, and quickly asked, "You two elder brothers, do you know what is going on with Chang'an City now? How are the people in the city after the city is broken?"

That old brother Wang shook his head and said: "That's not clear. After all, we are not from Chang'an, but I heard that the city was destroyed very suddenly, and the army of the eleventh prince did nothing wrong with the people before, so The people in the city should be fine."

Brother Qiao said: "Brother, do you have family members in Chang'an City? If you are worried, go back and have a look. After all, the war in Chang'an is over now, and it seems that people are not restricted from entering and leaving."

Seeing that the other party still cared about him, Su Bai's heart warmed up, he shook his head and said, "It's not that there are family members, but a few friends, but if you think about it carefully, if the city is suddenly broken, it shouldn't be a big problem."

The reason why Su Bai said this is because he knows that the purpose of the four thousand-year-old families is only the throne, and they will not do more killings. What he is worried about is that if the defense of the city continues for too long, the people in the city will come out Defense, the matter is more serious, but now that the city is suddenly broken, there should be no problem.

Brother Qiao and the two didn't understand the meaning of Su Bai's words, and Su Bai didn't give them a chance to ask questions. Since he cared about him before, of course he should be polite, so he asked: "What's wrong with the two elder brothers?" What's going on? I heard you guys were arguing before? Could it be that you are from Shangjing?"

The second brother Qiao and the younger brother Wang were even more surprised. After all, Su Bai was not close to them before, and the surroundings were so noisy. The two said it was a quarrel, but the voice was not loud. How did Su Bai hear it?But the two glanced at each other, saw the long sword in Su Bai's hand, and immediately understood a little bit, knowing that Su Bai is a martial arts practitioner, it is normal for him to be different from ordinary people.

Regarding his own affairs, the second brother Qiao did not hide anything, shook his head, and said: "We are not from Shangjing, but businessmen from Jinzhou, but because Jinzhou is not far from Shangjing, we don't know where What's going on with the battle situation here, so I can't make up my mind whether to go back now, after all, if Jinzhou is still in war, then things will be difficult to handle."

Su Bai nodded and understood a little bit, but he still couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Didn't it mean that the eleventh princes are about to reach Shangjing? Although Jinzhou is not far from Shangjing, the battle line will not be drawn." Is it that long?"

Brother Wang said: "This is just our estimation. In fact, the news did not come from Jinzhou, but from Shanzhou. It is said that the eleventh prince is invincible and is about to hit Shangjing. In fact, what happened? We don’t know about this, but we only know that Chang’an City has indeed been breached, and Shanzhou has also been attacked. Now we want to wait for accurate news from home, so that we can decide whether to stay or not. I mean, let’s start first. We will make a decision after the news is passed, if the war is still going on, then we will make another plan for this batch of goods, if the war is over, then go home directly, this will not waste time!"

This old brother Wang seems to be talking too much, and he really wants to persuade that second brother Qiao, this is to ask Su Bai to give his opinion!Of course, it is not easy to intervene in such a matter, although he does feel that what this brother Wang said has some truth.

The second brother Qiao was a little moved when he heard the words, and then he slapped his thigh and said, "Brother Wang, if you had said that earlier, I would have agreed! You are right, let's set off now and make a decision on the way." How to deal with this batch of goods! At worst, let's take the silver back directly, which is better!"

That brother Wang looked a little speechless, and said in his heart, I wanted to say it earlier, but you never gave me a chance!Besides, I just learned the news and was about to convince you, when this little brother came over.

Seeing Brother Wang's expression, Second Brother Qiao's expression was also a little embarrassed, he said haha, and said to Su Bai: "Little brother, where are you going? If you are going along the way, why don't you come with us? It’s good to have someone to take care of you on the way.”

Seeing that the other party asked him this suddenly, Su Bai originally wanted to refuse, but suddenly he thought again, the other party has a source of information from the Central Plains, and following the other party can know the outcome of the battle earlier, and if Shangjing is really over, even Shangjing has a source of information. If it is dangerous, Xiaosan Xiaowu should have left Shangjing with the help of the four thousand-year-old families, so there is no need for him to go to Shangjing.

If he doesn't go to Shangjing, then he can go directly to the "Sword Burial Valley" to practice, and if he goes to "Sword Burial Valley", he will indeed go on the same road as this group of people.

Thinking of this, Su Bai immediately changed his words when it came to his lips, nodded with a smile and said: "If the two elder brothers are willing, of course it would be the best. I'm going to Su Bai, I don't know how to call the two elder brothers?"

He knew that one of them was surnamed Qiao and the other was surnamed Wang, but he still had to inquire about it!

Brother Wang said with a smile, "So it's Brother Su. You just need to go with us if you want to, Brother Su. It's good to have someone to take care of you along the way! My name is Wang Jingsheng, and this is the second brother Qiao Wanyuan from my master's family."

Brother Qiao also smiled and said: "I am the second child in my family. Brother Su can just call me Brother Qiao. Where is Brother Su going? Are you going on the same road as us? If we are not on the same road, then forget it, after all, follow us , although you won’t be alone, you might be in danger.”

Hearing what Qiao Wanyuan said, that Wang Jingsheng's face almost turned black, whoever said that!Of course, he couldn't say that there was something wrong with what the other party said. He should even say that Brother Qiao was right. After all, they had so much cargo that they might encounter robbers on the road, which was indeed more dangerous.

Su Bai also thought it was a little funny, this second brother Qiao was a sincere person, he didn't seem to have been out of the house much, ran across the rivers and lakes, but that Wang Jingsheng was very slippery, obviously he often walked around.

Thinking this way in his heart, Su Bai didn't show any expression on his face, but said with a smile: "There are so many people, what's the danger? The younger brother is also going to Jinzhou, and he happens to be on the same road with the two elder brothers! Let's go together."

"Okay, Brother Su, do you want to prepare anything? If you don't have any preparations, let's go now?" Wang Jingsheng said before Qiao Wanyuan could speak.

The reason why he wanted Su Bai to be with them was because he knew that Su Bai was a martial artist, and he felt that Su Bai dared to go from the Central Plains to the Northwest Desert alone, and his martial arts might not be low. When Bai was young, he felt that Su Bai's martial arts were not very good!On the contrary, although he is not a member of the Jianghu, he has traveled all over the world these years, and he also knows that it is even more impossible for these people in the Jianghu to judge people by their appearance. Some old people and children who do not look good are often ruthless characters!
Of course Su Bai also knew that if he went with the caravan, he might encounter robbers, but with his current strength, he really didn't take those robbers seriously.

He smiled, looked up at the gradually darkening sky, and asked with some incomprehension: "Brothers, it seems to be getting dark now, shouldn't it be time to stay and rest? Why are you leaving now? ?”

Wang Jingsheng smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said, "Brother Su, you don't know something. Sometimes it's better to be outside the city than inside this city!"
