Chapter 44: By the Drinking Horse Lake
Since the Battle of Wide Domain City, no force in the whole Great Xia dared to have any crooked thoughts about Zhao Yu on the road.
Under the protection of the four armies on the three standards, unless the Sun Empire pours out the power of the country, no one has the ability to intercept and kill Zhao Yu on the road.
Half a month has passed, and the wind and waves have been calm along the way, just like the quiet surface of Lingbo Lake at night, without any waves, and Zhao Yuben is a low-key person, rarely appearing in the public eye, so gradually his Royal Highness the Imperial Sun has hidden back behind the fog after occasionally showing his edge.
This made Zhao Yu very depressed, since the system was opened, there was no soul energy in the account for most of the month.
But so everyone knows that he is on the way, and he will always come!
The vast land of China, Great Xia, Youzhou.
As a strategic town in Youzhou, the town of Drinking Horse is surrounded by a wide grassland within a radius of 50 miles, there is a small lake in the grassland, called Drinking Horse Lake, it is an important water source of White Hoof, it is said that the lake is rich in minerals, White Horse Town can be invincible on the battlefield, Drinking Horse Lake has a merit that cannot be ignored, this lake is also a treasure given by God to Drinking Horse Town.
At this time, it was getting late, the sun was gradually sinking into the skyline, Li Yue'e stepped on the fertile grassland with her feet, feeling the unique horse smell of Youzhou in the air, and her heart was even heavier, and her husband was followed by a wrinkled nose, and her husband was not from Youzhou, but from Fuzhou in the south of Great Xia, so she was a little unaccustomed to this smell.
The couple has been on the road for more than half a month, not resting for a day, although the temperature in Youzhou is now very low, but Li Yue's forehead is still covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat, and the husband next to him has a little pale, he is a weak scholar, his physique has always been bad, this half a month and his wife have been rushing non-stop, and now they can't hold on.
The wind blowing in front of her suddenly carried a trace of moisture, and there was a cold feeling on her body, Li Yue, who grew up in Yinma Town since she was a child, and was extremely familiar with it, knew that Yinma Lake was not far from here, she glanced at her husband on the side distressedly, and whispered comfortingly:
"Xiang Gong hold on a little longer, there is a lake ahead, we will rest by the lake tonight, eat some dry food when the time comes, and then enter the town tomorrow. ”
The scholar's husband beside him nodded, speeding up his pace of progress.
After a while, a small lake appeared in front of the husband and wife, and after the two walked in, they found that there was already a team of people camped by the lake, two teenagers were in a strange posture each holding a gun, a burly bald man squatting on the edge of the lake and handling the ingredients, two girls were helping to fight, and a girl with a sword box was sitting and fishing by the lake, farther away, there were two teams of soldiers stationed, Li Yue'e had never seen such a strong soldier.
What's even more bizarre is that there is a horse-shaped beast with golden glitter, golden scales, and two horns on its head that is lazily lying on the edge of the lake, constantly stuffing it into its mouth, sword!
It's not who Xiao Huang is, this guy now has to eat dozens of swords every day to barely fill his stomach!
After getting along for half a month, Jiang Tu, the deputy commander of the Japanese army, who knew Zhao Yu's temper, waved his hand, and the Japanese army did not step forward to stop it, and the husband and wife came to the shore of Yinma Lake, found a remote location, and sat down to rest.
Li Yue'e took out dry food and distributed it to her husband beside her, and then took out a kettle and filled it in the lake, then sat down to rest for a while, and quietly looked at the lake in a daze.
She hadn't been home since she left Drinking Horse Town at the beginning of the year, and this time she hurried back to mourn, her father, who died half a month ago.
A hand patted her on the shoulder, and she turned to look at her husband, who had only been married for a long time, but it only took a glance between them to know what each other meant.
She nodded and rested her head quietly on her husband's shoulder, she was also fragile and needed to be relied on.
Bai Zhining, who had finished processing the ingredients, looked at the couple in the distance, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his head and whispered a few words in Ruyue's ear.
Then the two of them came boldly to Zhao Yu, who had just finished practicing, Bai Zhining still didn't want to talk to Zhao Yu, but just pushed Ruyue with his hand, and Ruyue asked helplessly: "Childe, do you think we can share some food for the couple over there?" Sister Bai thinks they are so pitiful, and Ruyue thinks so too." ”
After practicing the gun, Zhao Yu felt that the vitality in his body had grown a little stronger, and he was in a happy mood and nodded in agreement.
"Then invite them to come over and eat together, anyway, Liang Po can't control a lot every time. ”
A bonfire was lit by the Drinking Horse Lake, the blazing flames dispelled the chill in the northwest of Great Xia, and also shone on the faces of the people who gathered around the meal, Ruyue girl may be closer to the fire, her little face was roasted by the fire, and she was eating the roe deer legs in small bites, which was cute!
The people sitting by the bonfire are all people with extraordinary temperaments, full of oppression, which makes Li Yue'e a little restrained, and she is also hot-headed, so she agreed to the invitation of the two little girls, but her husband, who is usually weak, seems quite calm.
"I don't know where the two of you came from, I don't see an outsider in this drinking horse town for a long time, but the two of them are travelers that we have rarely met these days. Sima Annan, who loves to be lively by nature, couldn't stand the dull atmosphere the most, so he took the lead in speaking.
"I grew up in this drinking horse town since I was a child, and I am very familiar with this place, but I got married at the beginning of the year, so I left here, and this time I came back to mourn, and the old father of the family died suddenly half a month ago. ”
Li Yue's voice was a little lonely, the old father was only her daughter, but she insisted on marrying to other places, she felt very guilty about her father, even if she died suddenly, she couldn't be with her, and if she was around, maybe she could stop her father from taking in the traitor, and this time I don't know if I will be implicated, colluding with the traitor, according to the law of Daxia, it will punish the nine clans.
Hearing such sad news, everyone was a little silent, Sima Annan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Could your father be Li Jinfu and Old Man Li?"
"Yes, little brother, do you know my father?" asked Li Yue'e with some surprise.
"Old man Li of the White Hoof Wu family, he is like thunder in the entire Great Xia army, one person can be worth thousands of troops and thousands of horses, who can not know in the entire Youzhou, his death is the loss of the entire Great Xia, it is really a sigh. ”
Sima Annan's voice was full of regret, Guan Zhengqing, Jiang Tu and the others all stood upright, sat upright, and showed respect.
"The little girl thanked everyone for their condolences to my father. Li Yue'e stood up and saluted Zhao Yu and the others, and everyone returned the salute neatly.
"Girl, do you know how to raise white hoof?" Zhao Yu's faint voice suddenly sounded.
Li Yue'e was obviously stunned after hearing this, and she didn't know why the rich and compelling young man in front of her asked like this, but she still replied truthfully: "I'm ashamed to say that I have followed my father to raise this white hoof crow since I was a child, and it can be said that this white hoof crow was cultivated by me personally accompanying my father, and my father always complained about why I was not a man, and I wasted this ability to raise horses in vain." ”
Zhao Yu nodded, summoned Ruyue to take out a pen and paper in the carriage, and after writing on the paper, put it in a bag and handed it to Li Yue.
"You go to Drinking Horse Town this time, if there is a Si Tianjian looking for you, show him this. ”
Li Yue'e looked at the bag handed over and hesitated, and the scholar's husband on the side saw this, stretched out his hands to take the bag, and pulled his wife to bow down.
"The grass people thanked their sons for their wives!"
