Chapter 1204 (2/2)
Before his voice fell, the familiar cry of an eagle came from the air. Xiaohui came back, and it suddenly dived down. As soon as the ”claw” was thrown, whether or not the person could receive it, it dropped the contents of the claw.
Fourth eyebrow is a draw, but still ran in the past, accurately catch and conform to the momentum.
This time, a mountain hare came to Xiaohui hunting.
So, after the grill, there was a bald rabbit.
Bamboo asked the kitchen to make some small dishes. They ate and chatted with each other with tea instead of wine. They went back to have a rest at the end of the month
In the early morning of the next day, seven or eight members of Xiao Yi, Guan yubai and his party left the city for the southwest. The main purpose of their trip was to check the path beside the swamp. Fu Yunhe, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi were among them.
The small ash flies above them, flies to them in front of them, and then flies back. It hovers over their heads and makes loud and clear calls from time to time, as if urging them to be faster!
October in southern Xinjiang is much hotter than that in Wangdu. At the moment, the sun has completely risen and is hanging in the cloudless sky. The sun is burning and dazzling.
Fortunately, after driving for a few miles on the official road, they rushed into a dense forest, and the temperature around them suddenly dropped, which made them feel cool in autumn.
Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi lead the way ahead.
As Yu Xiufan rode his horse through the trees, he turned back and said, ”brother, if you go through this forest, it's a meadow. It connects with the swamp. So you must be careful. If you don't, you will be in trouble...” Yu Xiufan's tone seems to have some emotion, listening to the other several people are eyebrows a pick.
Fu Yunhe was not polite to Xiufan either. He directly asked with a smile, ”xiaofanzi, you can't have fallen down?”
Yu Xiufan seemed to think of something, wiped a cold sweat and said: ”that's not, it's just a little short. Fortunately, xiaoxizi pulled me.” However, later, he watched a wild boar which was accidentally trapped in the swamp and suffered the disaster of toppling in front of his eyes step by step. It really made him feel like he was on the scene
”Shiko, you are my Savior now.” Yu Xiufan looked at Chang Huaixi enthusiastically, ”when I get back to Luoyue City, I'll treat you to a drink Everyone who sees it has a share! ”
When he said hello, everyone laughed and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Only chang Huaixi twitched his brow because of the address of xiaoxizi.
After a while, a bright light appeared in front of the forest. Yu Xiufan pointed to the front and said, ”the front is the exit of the forest...”
Outside the woods, it suddenly opened up. There was a large flat grassland in front of it, and then a large marsh. On the dark gray mud pool, there were some fresh green aquatic plants and green duckweeds
All of them slowed down, and the swamp was filled with a faint white fog, mixed with a cold and rotten smell, which made people feel nauseous.
”Everyone, be careful. There is miasma on the marsh. Don't get too close. What's more, try to walk along the place where there are trees growing on the hard ground... ” Yu Xiufan once again reminds us that he has done a lot of hard work these days.
After two miles of careful walking along the swamp, a large and lush bush of thorns appeared in front of them, which were rampant. With their spiny stems, other shrubs around them were squeezed into no living space.
Most people are afraid of the dense spines. They will not go any further. They did not expect that Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi could find a way here.
There was a trace of surprise in their expressions. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi, two spoiled childish brothers, did things very carefully.
”Hey, hey,” Yu Xiufan felt his nose and said, ”it was that day that I planned to hunt a rabbit to eat. I watched the rabbit go through the thorns and found the path by chance.”
When he saw that the gray rabbit was safely passing through the thorns, he was not trapped in the swamp. He realized that the thorns might not be swamps, so he called Chang Huaixi to him.
The thorns in this area are hard and tough. They worked together to cut off some of the thorns. Suddenly, they found that after the thorns, there was another hole
Yu Xiufan roughly said that day's event, so that everyone can't help laughing, which is also a fool's blessing.
Chang Huaixi shakes his head speechlessly in his heart. Yu Xiufan is really anything
The two young men used to scabbard a clump of camouflaged thorns together. Then, a sheep intestine path mixed among the thorns appeared. Although the path full of weeds was narrow, it was enough for two or three people to go together. Because both sides of the road were covered with thorns, the path was hidden among the thorns at a glance, and no one had ever found it.Xiao Yi and Guan yubai are both happy in their hearts and quickly exchange a look.
”Fan Zi, you lead the way.”
In Xiao Yi's clear voice, they turn over again and mount the horse.
As Xiufan leads the way in the front, other people follow in and go all the way along the path. In the breeze, the grass is green and the horse's hooves are sent. The people's figures are looming in the smoke and disappear quickly
After walking for nearly half an hour, the leading Yu Xiufan pointed to a small tree forest in front of him and said, ”brother, after this small forest, it is an official road.”
However, the map in the hands of Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi is only aimed at the surrounding area of Yanding City, so they are not sure where they are.
In this area of war, the official road is now deserted, and there is no one there. Even if Xiufan wants to ask for directions, no one can ask
A group of people soon passed through the small forest, then stopped at the side of the official road and dismounted again.
This official road is enough for two carriages to run in parallel. The two ends of the road extend straight into the distance, with no end in sight. It was midday, the sun was burning, and the golden sun was shining on the ground, which was dazzling.
Bai Mo, the official language, observes the surrounding environment silently. For a moment, he looks at the position of the sun, and then looks at the shadow on the ground. Thinking deeply, he points to one end of the official road: ”this official road should lead to denglicheng.”
Denglicheng?! Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi looked at each other. First they were happy, but then they thought that they didn't know how far it was from denglicheng. If it was too far away, I'm afraid it would not have the effect of surprise attack
Official language white seems to have found something, stride toward the middle of the official road, and everyone looks at him in unison.
The white robe in the official language squatted down and looked at several clear tracks on the ground. The deep ruts were clearly discernible. With half drooping eyes, he took out a square of handkerchief, picked up some soil and twisted it a few times.
Xiao Yi came to him and asked, ”Xiaobai, what have you found?”
Xiaobai Chang Huaixi's eyes twitch for a moment, and suddenly feel that his address is actually quite good.
Guan yubai handed the handkerchief to Xiao Si and said slowly: ”these marks are different from other marks. They should be left in recent days...”
Everyone thought of what, the spirit of a vibration, in Xiufan blurted out: ”is it the Nanliang people left?”
Guan Yu measured the ground with his finger and said, ”it should be. The gauge of Nanliang carriage is different from that of our Dayu carriage. I'm afraid they have a lot of things on their carriage with such deep marks. There are several tracks left here. It seems that their carriages should have been back and forth on this official road several times in recent months... ”
Xiao Yi's face showed joy and said: ”so, this official road should be the only place for Nanliang people.” Since it's the track mark left by the carriage, nine out of ten of the goods transported in the carriage are either weapons, military supplies, or grain and grass
No matter which one, for them, it is promising!
Today's trip is really fruitful!
For a moment, everyone was smiling.
There are not many people coming today. If this official road is really important to Nanliang, it will frighten the snake if he stays for a long time. Therefore, Xiao Yi orders him to return to the original way. After returning to yandingcheng, we will make another plan.
After walking through it in the morning, both men and horses knew the way back, and they took half the time to walk out of the path. Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi skillfully disguised the entrance of the path
At this time, the upper air suddenly heard the cry of small ash, attracted people to follow the sound, only to see that originally hovering in the high altitude of small ash seemed to find something, diving in a certain direction.
Yu Xiufan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: ”big brother, is Xiaohui found any prey and hunted?” ”I'll go and have a look. Maybe I can get a little gray light and eat some game...”
In Xiufan on the ground horse, and then a clip horse belly, speed up the horse, can't wait to chase ash to the direction of the forest. Chang Huaixi hesitated for a moment, or drove his horse to follow up.
Xiao Yi said to the official with a smile: ”Xiaobai, let's have a look. Maybe we'll have roast pheasant again today...”
Looking at Xu Ziji, he is not comfortable to talk with him, but he is not happy to talk with him. Xiao Si is still following the official language white body.
The business that came out today has been done, and the mood of everyone is relaxed a lot.
Yu Xiufan, who is in the front, chases Xiaohui in the air and drives his horse to run for a distance. After that, he can see Xiao Hui circling in the woods, making a clear cry from time to time.
Yu Xiufan slightly moved his eyes down, only to find that under the small ash, there were a young and old standing under several big trees. To be correct, it should be an old man and a girl.
Because of the distance, he couldn't see the two men's faces for a moment. He only saw that the young and the old were wearing blue clothes and carrying a bamboo basket on their backs.Yu Xiufan subconsciously ”Shuo” a, let the horse in the hip slow down. He narrowed his eyes slightly, always feeling that the girl seemed familiar.
Chang Huaixi behind him also saw the two men, and drove the horse to Yu Xiufan's side and squinted warily. Although these two people are just ordinary old and young, they are weak, but Yanding city was occupied by Nanliang before. Now people in the city dare not go out of the city at will, and people in other cities and towns dare not come near here. What's more, what's the matter with the old and the young here in the wild?!
Thinking of the Nanliang envoys who came to yandingcheng a few days ago, Chang Huaixi was more and more alert.
Can't these two be Nanliang spies?
”Shiziye...”
Chang Huaixi was just about to turn back to Xiao Yi and ask for instructions. He and Yu Xiufan went to find out the truth first. However, the girl in green pointed to the small ash in the air and cried out: ”Xiaohui, are you Xiaohui Grandfather, this must be Yue's little ash. ”
Chang Huaixi didn't say anything, but she swallowed it. The girl knew that shiziye's eagle was called Xiaohui. Is this old and young person an acquaintance of shiziye?!
