Chapter 237 On the Road
Whenever the merchants can't hold on, there will be safe houses on the road.There is food and water in it, so people can replenish it adequately.

"Master Ding, there are thousands of miles of uninhabited people here, who prepared the food and water?"

After a peddler drank the water stored in the safe house, he couldn't help asking Ding Yi who was also resting cross-legged.

After entering the desert, the merchants had a hard time walking. Instead of falling far away, they followed Ding Yi's troops and walked west together.

There was still a lot of food prepared, but the water was saved and saved, and this time it was finally used up. Unexpectedly, the water in the safe house was so timely, so he couldn't help asking.

When a peddler asked a question, all the peddlers listened with pricked ears.

Ding Yi smiled, "It was built by Huohou and Master Lu Weimang together. There will be local people who set off on time every day and come to supply supplies."

The man was stunned, "Sure enough, Master Lu and Huo Hou are generous and kind. With these safe houses in this desert, we will not be afraid for many days!"

Everyone laughed, "That's right, some of these, we won't be afraid for a long time! In fact, this is also good, our food is not afraid of problems in the desert, and the felt cloth for rain protection feels like it has been prepared in vain."

Everyone talked and laughed, as if the hard work of the journey disappeared in the laughter.

Sometimes people are not afraid of suffering, but they are afraid of not seeing hope.Right now hope is around, even the desert can't stop everyone's optimism.

Ding Yi ate dry food, listened to everyone talking and laughing, and his heart became brighter, "If everything goes well, we will be able to reach Tubo in three days. When we get there, there will be caravans to help organize. You just listen to their arrangements and will not let you You are at a loss."

The merchants were delighted when they heard this, "What you said is that the caravan is usually a big shot that we can't get up to. Now go there, among other things, we have full authority to listen to the arrangements of the caravan!"

The reputation of the caravan is one of the best among the large private business groups.That is to say, they are all doing big business, small businessmen, and they were not qualified to cooperate with them in the past, but now they can gather together to get in touch with the caravan. Everyone just thinks that if they don't make money this time, they also make money. of.

The next three days went smoothly, only in one afternoon, a wind and sand blew up without warning, but Ding Yi organized his hands to form a group, and everyone gathered and hid behind the camel, so it was safe and sound.

Natural disasters sometimes make people unable to resist, but if there are more people and they deal with it together, it will make people feel ineffective.

After the last three days of suffering, after crossing the oasis, Ding Yi and the others finally saw a familiar face.

"General Ding, Huo Hou is waiting for your batch of food, please come with me."

After everyone rectified, the caravan registered the food of each merchant, and all the food was gathered together, and the caravan led the team to patrol the capital of Tubo.

All I saw along the way were scattered small tribes and lifeless Tibetans.

If there were no Ding Yi and the black armor guards, facing the carts of grains exuding dry fragrance, it is impossible to say that these people could rush over and snatch all the goods.

"Brother, what's going on here?"

Some merchants couldn't hold back and asked the caravan gang members who led the team.

This person is a core member of the caravan. Although he is not very old, he is well-informed. Looking at the eyes of these people seeking knowledge, he shook his head and said, "The climate here is arid, and it is very likely that locusts grow. You should not be from the west of Yongzhou. , otherwise you should have heard of the locust plague. After the locusts cross the border, they can’t even leave a blade of grass. The people here have killed all the cattle and sheep, and if there is no food to bring, they will eat people in winter.”

After hearing this, all the merchants looked heavy.

At this time, productivity is limited, and in times of catastrophe, rumors of cannibalism are unavoidable.

At this time, it was less than ten years since Dagan established the dynasty. Ten years ago, there was no imperial court relief, and wherever there was a disaster, there was a legend of cannibalism.

These merchants traveled all over the world, and they didn't know that when a catastrophe happened, people would have to wait to die.

"It's a merit for us to transport food."

The merchants couldn't help but said.

Everyone nodded.

All the way to the capital of Tubo, within a day, everyone arrived without hindrance.

At this time, Huo Jing was fully armed and was waiting for the arrival of the crowd outside the city gate.

"Master Hou, General Ding has arrived with food."

"Set up a big pot, cook porridge and put rice under the city gate."

Huo Jing fought all the way from the small town of Tubo to the city of Luoxie. He didn't encounter fierce resistance all the way. On the contrary, more people voluntarily became prisoners.

Therefore, before arriving at Luoxie, Huo Jing summoned Hanzhong to deliver food, otherwise, the remaining food in their army would not be able to support the supply of refugees after attacking Luoqiu.

Now that Ding Yi is bringing food, Huo Jing can let go of the implementation.

The smell of food was irresistible to the hungry people. As the sun gradually turned to the west, the gates of Luoxi City, which had been closed for many days, slowly opened the gates. Everyone walked out of the capital with bare hands. The leader wore gems on his head and Bright colored silk and satin, but his face was full of lifelessness.

"You won."

...

Lu Weimang, who is far away in Yumen, is still waiting at this time. She has been fascinated by the simple city walls of Yumen these days, and always loves to walk up and down with her child.

Xiao Huo loved the crisp city wall bricks very much. He sat in the stroller and buckled the wall bricks beside him.

Lu Weimang looked up from the low city wall.

"Sister, father sent a letter."

Lu Changfeng trotted over holding the letter and climbed up to the city wall.

"Speaking of what?"

Lu Weimang waved his hand to let the younger brother read the letter.

"The letter said that the queen recently summoned her father at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and she said something about her parents, but she didn't say anything else."

Lu Weimang smiled, "The empress hasn't given up yet, do you want to send out a princess to go on a mission and marry Huo Jing?"

Lu Changfeng frowned, a little puzzled, "Why did sister say that?"

How did it come from being short-lived by the parents to being a concubine for Huo Hou?
Lu Weimang waved his hand, "It's nothing, just thinking about it."

Lu Changfeng thought of Huo Hou's safety letter a few days ago, and shook his head affirmatively, "I am afraid that the capital has received Huo Hou's letter, saying that he will take the Tubo king and princess on a mission in the near future and accept the conferment. But the queen Your Majesty's calculation is probably wrong, Tubo values ​​the princess very much, and if you want to pass on the princess, it's not for the princess to make a marriage."

Lu Weimang followed with a smile, "I'm afraid our empress can't imagine that the throne can be passed on to the princess, and she is planning for a rainy day."

"Sister, Huo Hou said in his letter that he is ready to leave, so it's time to arrive?"

Lu Weimang shook his head, "The desert is no better than other places, anyway, it's just these few days."

Only then did Changfeng become happy, "Finally, I can take off the burden. Sis, eat more these few days. When my brother-in-law comes back, I will return a white and fat wife to my brother-in-law, and let him know that I live up to my trust." .”

Lu Weimang kicked over, and Lu Changfeng dodged cleverly, "Sister, don't be angry, this is a task assigned by brother-in-law!"
