Chapter 131: Seven Chasing Soldiers
"Fortunately, we are just an ordinary family, and in the eyes of the general, we are not as good as a girl."
"Hehe, ordinary family? Da Gan's ordinary family has a character like Gongzi, Changning really wanted Da Gan to go for a walk and see where this person is outstanding. ”
Listening to the yearning in Changning's heart, Li Luo felt even more depressed, as if he didn't notice the suspicion in Changning's words, and said loudly: "It's night, go to bed early." Then he put the felt on the ground and sat on the ground for vigil.
Chu Ying'er said to Changning, "Go in and rest." After speaking, he entered the tent with Changning, and before entering the tent, he said coldly to the nameless woman: "You also come in." ”
The woman was indifferent, Li Luo smiled, pointed to the empty tent, and said, "You go and sleep there." ”
The woman moved, didn't get up, and waited for Chu Ying'er and Changning to enter, walked to another tent, paused, lifted the curtain and walked in.
Speechless all night, on the second day, the sky was just white, Li Luo had already packed his horses, Chu Ying'er walked out of the tent and helped Li Luo pack his bags, Changning also came out of the camp, still a little sleepy, yawning again and again.
The woman also came out of the tent, and removed the tent and folded it without saying a word, unlike the days ago when she always hid silently to the side, Li Luo smiled slightly when she saw this, distributed the water bladder to a few people, and said: "Drink some water, eat some dry food, we are ready to go." ”
A few people ate something indiscriminately and then set out on the road.
At noon, there were more passers-by than in previous days, and Li Luo deliberately followed Chu Ying'er to find some roads with few pedestrians and walked towards Yingchou Gorge.
Along the way, Li Luo did not hide his whereabouts, and on the second day, a few people could often see some masters who looked like people in the rivers and lakes wandering on the side of the road, and when they saw Li Luo, they didn't talk. He passed a few people and galloped away.
Chu Ying'er's mood became heavier and heavier, and along the way, although there was no Xirong army to stop it, it was some sentry posts, and she saw Li Luo and a few people. He ignored them and let them go.
However, there are more and more characters in these rivers and lakes, and there are no less than five chasing soldiers in a rough count, among which there are many masters of the Xirong court who are hiding their tracks.
As it got dusk, Chu Ying'er took a long breath and said in a low voice: "Childe, the comer is not good, I counted, at least five teams of soldiers and horses followed us to the left. ”
Li Luo replied lightly: "There are seven groups of people. It depends on the situation that there are three teams of pursuers sent by the royal family of Xijon. ”
Chu Ying'er and Changning looked at Li Luo in surprise, Changning felt that Li Luo was unfathomable, and he had been careful to distinguish it, but he could only see about seven chasing soldiers. However, it is impossible to tell which one is the assassin killer in the martial arts, and which one is the master of the guards sent by the Xirong court to follow him.
"Childe, what should we do? Do you want to change routes? ”
"No need, it won't help to change the route, my uncle and Wu Jing have more time to spare. It should be able to get out of the Eagle Sorrow Gorge, and we will wait and see what happens. As long as the Xirong army does not stop it, we will deal with them according to the rules of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Huh?" Chu Ying'er was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and pondered for a moment, and asked, "Childe, how do you know about the things in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Li Luo looked at Chu Ying'er and smiled: "I don't know." But you know, that's enough. ”
Chu Ying'er's heart was inexplicably hot, and a thought that had never surged out, so she hummed softly and didn't ask again.
It was getting dark again. In the far back of the mountain, there is a small post station in the sight of several people, a few stone houses, which seem to be for passing business travelers to rest.
Chu Ying'er grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Childe, shall we go over?" I'm afraid this station is not a good place. ”
Li Luo looked at the post station in the distance and said, "It's getting late, and it's hard to guard against dark arrows at night, so why don't you go to us and see what is in this post station." ”
Chu Ying'er nodded, and Changning also looked at the post station with a curious expression, not knowing what the situation would be inside.
The post station is surrounded by earth and stone at will, one acre square, but there are only four or five stone houses, an inn, a tea stall, and two or three grocery stores.
Li Luo looked at it slightly, the grocery store had already closed its door, the wind lamps at the door of the inn, one had been extinguished, only one side of the light flickered in the night wind, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment, only there was some light in this tea stall, which came out of the cracks in the wall.
When the four of them came to the tea stall, the door was open, and the shadows inside were scorching, as if someone was moving.
Lee dismounted, tied the horse to the door, looked at the horse, smiled, pushed the door open and walked in.
After entering the store, the room was quite spacious, with five tables, except for two wooden tables and chairs, and the other three were stone tables.
Sure enough, there were not many people in the room, only an empty table, and on the right hand side there was a clay ledger, and an old man stood in the middle of the ledger, carrying the wick on the table with a needle.
Leaning on the edge of the account table, a man who looked like a little second sat on the ground and dozed off, his head down, unable to see how old he was.
Li Luo casually looked at the merchants in the room, except for a young man sitting at a stone table, the other three tables were almost full.
There were two tables of merchants chatting from all over the world, and when they saw Li Luo and a few people coming in, they looked up and talked to themselves, but the single young man looked at it carefully with interest, and then he ignored it, turned his head and poured himself a drink.
When the old man saw Li Luo and a few people coming in, he didn't say hello, and waited until he picked up the wick before he smiled and said, "Guest officer, it's so late." After speaking, he picked up the rag at hand, leaned over and threw it to the dozing little two, and scolded: "Get up quickly, here's a visitor." ”
Xiao Er got up in a daze, rubbed his eyes, and saw Changning behind Li Luo, who seemed to be stunned, and wiped his eyes again, and froze on the ground in amazement.
Seeing that Xiao Er was not moving, the old man walked out of the account counter, pushed it, and glared at Xiao Er angrily, and then stepped forward to beckon Li Luo and a few people to sit down.
Xu is old eyes were dizzy, and when he got closer, he saw the dusty Changning, and he was stunned for a while, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, show the wrinkles on his face, and nod and ask: "Why are the guest officers rushing so late, what do you want to eat?" ”
Li Luo bowed slightly: "If I missed the post station, I walked more, I didn't expect it to get dark so quickly." What do you have here? ”
"Guest officer, there happened to be freshly cooked mutton today, it was not long out of the pot, it was still hot, and there were some strong wine dishes, would you like to try it?"
"Okay, cut some meat, forget the wine, pour us some boiling water, and get ten steamed buns."
The old man nodded again and again, turned around and kicked Xiao Er, who was still looking at Changning secretly, and scolded: "If you don't go in to eat, what are you looking at here like a wooden stake and pestle?" (To be continued.) )
