Chapter 169, Allies

There are not many pedestrians on the road, even if there are, they will give way to a team of hundreds of people.Xiao Yanling, who is the leader, is dressed in black, showing his majesty and demeanor.

Behind him was a luxurious carriage, with Xuanji and Shen Muqing on the left and right.In the back is the spare carriage, with Hong Ling and Aunt Yan inside, and Lin Yubin and Yan Xuan outside the carriage.

As a man, Yan Xuan followed them on horseback.The scholar's physique is not like that of a martial arts practitioner, but he is determined to learn how to ride a horse, so Aunt Yan has no choice but to follow him.

In the back is Meng Heng's carriage, Xiao Han and Cao Yu are riding a little ahead of him.Behind is the team that transports food and supplies.

Surrounded by guards, it looks solid as gold at first glance.At the end there are still walkers closely following.The team is neat and orderly, and the progress is appropriate.

They didn't dare to stop at will anymore, they were on their way day and night, and stopping occasionally was also related to eating and drinking.

After walking like this for several days, they came to a remote mountain forest, and there was a huge rocky road blocking their way.

"My lord, this section is a rocky slope, and the road is not easy to walk. It is estimated that the carriage will not be able to pass for a while." Xuanji rode forward to visit.

"The carriage must pass. How about this? You can order someone to pave the way from the middle to see if you can move the rocks in order." In this way, manual labor is required, and the road is blocked and the process will be slowed down.

"Everyone work together to pave the middle and let our carriage pass." Hundreds of people worked together, stacking and moving stones, and bypassed the particularly huge ones.

In this way, they finally paved a fairly smooth road before sunset.At least the horses were willing to pull the wagon across.Walking through the piles of rocks, you can see green grass.There is no cover between heaven and earth.

"Let's find a place where we can set up camp and rest there at night." Xiao Yanling rode on horseback and looked into the distance.So after crossing several slopes, they came to the edge of the stream.

"Just here, there is a water source." After several days and nights of driving here, I didn't have a good rest.

It took so long to carry stones today, the team was already exhausted.

Everyone cheered when they heard that they could set up camp.Even Gu Wushuang and the others who were hiding in the carriage couldn't help laughing.

"Finally I can rest normally." Yaya and Xiang'er came to Gu Wushuang's side to prepare everything for her.

"Don't worry, let's go to the stream to wash our face first." I haven't washed up properly in the past few days, so I can finally meet the water for a while.

Horse carriages have everything luxurious, but after all, they are not as good as natural ones.

"Huh, the air is so fresh." Taking a deep breath, Gu Wushuang carefully squatted down and sat on a rock.

Yaya wet the face towel, "Princess, wipe it off."

"I should be able to take a clean water bath tonight." On the other end, Lin Yubin waved a fan and said to Shen Muqing with a smile, Shen Muqing nodded in agreement.

The women's laughter came from the side of the stream, and their eyes couldn't help being drawn to it.People say that beauty, fat, swallows and thin have their own merits, and this saying is not false at all.

Each of these women has different beauty, no matter in appearance, skin color, personality and figure.Depends on what kind of feelings in the eyes of the individual.Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, whoever you like is the most beautiful.

In Shen Muqing's clear eyes was Gu Wushuang's bright and bright smile.He remembered that day in the inn, when he encountered such a situation that he was in danger, he even used tricks to subdue him.How many such strange women are there in the world?

That day when she suddenly approached, almost touching his back, he could feel the fragrance from her body, her soft words in his ears, and her warmth in his palm, especially when she healed him. close contact.His heart beat faster and his face flushed red.It is so unforgettable to like someone.

In the evening, everyone gathered together and lit a fire, barbecued on the pile of stones, and cheered on the open grass.The men all went to bathe in the stream, and the women all chatted in the tent.This evening was very different.

"Princess, look at the starry sky." You can see the full moon and starry sky when you look up, and the Milky Way points to the mountains and rivers.

"Human beings are really small." Gu Wushuang looked at the starry sky and a different picture would appear in his mind.It is very strange but very familiar, and there is a little taste of memory in the contradiction.At this moment, the hearts of adults in the sky and the earth were released.

"There are still more than ten days away from the destination, princess, are you healthy?" Yaya was always worried, but fortunately, Gu Wushuang didn't react much.But someone's reaction was unusual.

"I'm fine, my stomach is also obedient." Gu Wushuang looked at Hongling opposite through the fire with deep eyes.She doesn't seem to be doing well.

"Hongling, how are you?" When they came to her, all the men around them went to take a shower.Hong Ling's face was pale and tired.

"If you need my help—you can speak up." Looking at her deeply, Hong Ling's eyes dodged, as if she still had some scruples.

"As women, there is no need to be like this. Besides, I also have secrets." Since she intends to become an ally, she has nothing to hide.

"You—" Hong Ling finally looked at her.

"Let me make sure and I'll tell you." He grabbed her wrist and pressed his fingers on her pulse, Hong Ling wanted to struggle but was powerless.

"Sure enough." Gu Wushuang's eyes flashed.

"You know, what's your plan?" Hong Ling seemed a little annoyed.Don't turn your head away to look at her, seeing her stubborn look, Gu Wushuang smiled, very charmingly.

"Actually - I'm the same as you." He quietly approached her ear.

"You really—" Hong Ling looked at her in disbelief.

"Hush, this is our secret, we will never tell it until we reach our destination." Looking at her deep and long eyes, Hong Ling seemed to be considering whether to believe her or not.

"Okay, what do you have to worry about now, we are allies. Don't worry, you will follow me along the way. You are so weak and very dangerous. From tomorrow, your safety will be entrusted to me." She considered Wushuang does what he says.

Early the next morning, the sun was rising, the horses were already running around, and the soldiers woke up one after another.Gu Wushuang slept well last night.

"Good morning, my concubine, are you in good spirits today?" When she opened her eyes, she saw a charming and handsome face.

"Good morning, my lord." He wrapped a kiss around his neck, such a blessing, Xiao Yanling naturally would not let it go.After a while of lingering, Gu Wushuang gently pushed him away.

"Okay, I'll go to the stream to freshen up. You are the coach and you can't be lazy." He avoided the most important and forced him to get up.

"Hey!" Xiao Yanling sighed helplessly, had no choice but to get dressed and get up.

The first thing you see when you step out of the tent is the natural beauty of the sky.

"Wow, it's so beautiful." You can have a panoramic view of the mountains, rivers and plains.

"Princess, let's go wash up." Yaya and Xiang'er ran over with a smile, behind them were Hongling and Aunt Yan.

"Princess, did you sleep well last night?"

"Everything is fine, how about you, Madam Yan?"

"Thanks to the princess, I slept well." Yan Xuan and his mother and son followed them, and Feng Qiman and the others quickly arrived near the destination.They had agreed in private that they would meet when they approached.

"Let's go and freshen up together." Several women walked towards the stream with a charming smile.

After everything was tidied up, the team started to walk again under Xuanji's command.There are still many ups and downs waiting for them on the road.

If the first assassination was unsuccessful, no one would need to do it the second time.Senior officials far away in Kyoto gloated.Because the closer it was to the Northern Wilderness, the worse the weather would be.

The people have lived in dire straits for several years, and the fields have long since withered, the roads are barren, and the houses are dilapidated.People's hearts are full of evil.Robbers, bandits, killing people and stealing goods passing caravans.They can be found everywhere, and in the past few years, unless they had to, no one would go to the Northern Wilderness, and even if they did, they were prepared to lose their wealth.

"My lord, the road ahead is rough and difficult, and the ground is soft. Once the carriage goes down, it is likely to be trapped." But the sky above the head was covered with dark clouds, and the wind and dust made it hard to keep your eyes open.At a glance, there is no place to live in peace.

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to go." If you don't go, you are waiting for death.The team of hundreds of people can walk on foot, but the carriage is too heavy.

"Let's get down and walk." In order to reduce the weight, Gu Wushuang and the others got out of the carriage one after another.Walk with the team.The men on horseback also got off their horses, and the horses changed to carry the goods and the contents of the carriage.This reduces weight.

The road is dangerous and difficult to walk.Even those with martial arts skills can't leap down easily.Not to mention taking care of women.

"Shuang'er, this king is walking behind your back."

"No need, just hold me up." She was so delicate.

"Be obedient, come up quickly." Gu Wushuang didn't want to be entangled for too long to affect the process, so he could only do as he did.Others followed suit.

Lin Yubin carried Hongling on his back, Xuanji carried Yaya on his back, and Shen Muqing carried Xiang'er on his back.Aunt Yan was also picked up by a hidden guard.

Send the women to a safe place first, so that the men can use their skills to do other things.

"What should I do? Who will carry me down?" Young Master Meng Heng yelled enviously.

"Hmph, are you a man? This small difficulty is only for you. Don't embarrass the man, okay?" Xiao Han snorted at him coldly, and then he began to walk cautiously with the team.

"Come on, Mr. Meng." After Cao Yu came over and gave him an encouraging gesture, he also left first.

"You—who are you saying is not a man? You are not." Meng Heng was provoked by Xiao Han and could only lift up the corner of his clothes and try to get down.But within a few steps, he slipped on the sole of his foot and fell to the ground.

"Young Master, be careful." The attendant immediately wanted to pull him, but he accidentally fell down.The people behind walked around them for fear of being implicated.

"Damn the road, why is it so difficult to walk!" Under the sky was the wailing of a weak man.The soft ground is like a carriage that will sink when passing by.But only Xiao Wangfu's carriage successfully crossed the sand without much effort.

"What about my carriage?" When he finally stumbled down the hill, Meng Heng turned his head in embarrassment covered in bruises.It was found that his carriage was abandoned and abandoned.Reluctant to start screaming again.

"You can do it. If you have the strength, you might as well follow the cavalry, or you can ride a horse." Xiao Han sneered as he mounted the horse, his eyes filled with contempt.Such a useless young master, do they Meng family want to have no future?

"Mr. Meng, I'm sorry. Your carriage is too heavy to pass. However, most of your belongings have already been transported by horses. You should ride a horse." Shen Muqing came over and said, riding a horse is not counted. Big horse for him.

"This horse is so small? Can it carry me?"

"I'm sorry, it's really a lack of horses. This one was transferred from the logistics. Mr. Meng will take care of it." The implication is that if you don't ride, you will die.

After Shen Muqing finished speaking, he left regardless of whether he accepted it or not.

"My lord, let's make do with it." It was his followers who were more knowledgeable about current affairs.

"Got it!" Now he had to ride even if he didn't want to.It's better than walking.

After walking through the difficult sandy and muddy land, the sky gradually darkened. Unfortunately, there is no water source nearby, so we can't stop moving forward.

Another day and night passed, and on the second day, it was attacked by wind and sand again.

"Everyone, pay attention to safety, wrap your mouth and nose with cloth to avoid inhaling the wind and sand." The road ahead is not clear at all.

"My lord, I'll go ahead to explore the road, and you drive slowly." It was still mysterious, leading several guards on horseback into the storm, and soon disappeared.

"Everyone should walk in a row, don't be fast, follow the leader in front closely. Don't lose your way." Someone shouted loudly in the wind and sand.Gu Wushuang and the others who were hiding in the carriage were anxious.

It is impossible to walk in such a big wind and sand.Soon someone was left behind.

"Ah, where is this place?" Meng Heng walked slowly on the pony.When the wind and sand come, his pony will not obey.

It was useless to pull and beat, and he was so angry that he slapped randomly, and the pony simply refused to carry him.Falling down on the spot, Meng Heng fell impartially on the body of the attendants who hurriedly caught him.

"Sir, are you alright?"

"Woo, I want to go home, what the hell is this place. Woo!" Meng Heng fell to the ground and burst into tears.Someone from behind came looking for him.

"Young Master Meng, Young Master Meng." It was Shen Muqing's voice.

"Uh, I'm here." Meng Heng stopped crying immediately, someone came to save him.

A white figure emerged from the wind and sand.

"Mr. Meng, are you alright? Go, follow me." Shen Muqing went up to hold his arm, and Meng Heng held him back crying.

The entourage also immediately picked up their luggage and followed.

"The wind and sand are too strong, and you can't see the road clearly. Don't fall behind on your own, but follow the team." Meng Heng originally wanted to say that the horse refused to go, but there was a strong temperature from the held hand, and he didn't know it. Feelings follow along, and people are much quieter.

"Princess, it's very windy and sandy outside, what should we do? Will we not be able to get out?" Yaya was a little worried.

"Don't worry, it won't happen, the prince is here." Gu Wushuang had no fear.

It's just that I'm a little anxious because I can't see the outside scene.

Xiao Yanling was looking for the direction of the wind and sand, a group of people were walking close to each other.In order not to let people fall behind, they all yelled and shouted as they walked.Or blow the whistle to attract everyone's attention.

It was the first time for Gu Wushuang to experience such a thing. Being inexperienced, she knew that there was nothing she could do to help her. For now, she could only sit quietly in the carriage.Do not panic, do not ask, is the best help.

The wind and sand are still whistling, as if to blow the ground away.The mystery of exploring the way seems to have disappeared, and it has not appeared for a long time.

"Prince Xiao, is Xuanji lost?"

It was Lin Yubin who asked the question.

"No." Xiao Yanling squinted his long and narrow eyes, staring at the direction where Xuanji left.

He believed in him.
