Chapter 1207: There is Mei Ji on Huai
Gan Ning led the men, tossed for most of the night, returned to the village, and didn't sleep for a long time, and the sky was already dark.
Xu Shu got up early in the morning.
Because Gan Ning led his subordinates to Liu Wei, Xu Shu thought that he must not delay too long here, and as soon as it was dawn, he got up and greeted everyone who was staying in the village.
There were a large number of men under Gan Ning's command, and they did not enter the village to rest, but just found some leeward boundaries at the entrance of the village and made do with them for a night.
Yu Linwei, who protected Xu Shu, except for two of them who lived in the same household as him, the rest stayed in the homes of other villagers in the neighborhood.
After getting up early in the morning, Xu Shu went out of the room and walked straight to the house where Gan Ning was staying.
A few men who were guarding the door of Gan Ning's house were tired because they hadn't slept all night.
When Xu Shu walked towards them, one of the men raised his hand and yawned.
"Has Xingba gotten up?" When the men approached, Xu Shu asked them.
When several men saw Xu Shu coming, they were already bowing to him with their fists in their fists, and when they heard him ask, the man who yawned just now responded: "Qi Xu Gong, the general is still asleep." ”
Nodding to the men, Xu Shu strode to the door of the house and knocked lightly.
Xu Shu knocked on the door, and a tired voice came from inside: "Who?" The sky is not clear, what is the knock on the door? ”
It was none other than Gan Ning who spoke.
The first night was too late, and he was sleeping sweetly at this time, but he was woken up by the sound of Xu Shu knocking on the door, so he was also a little unhappy in his heart.
"Xingba, I'm about to leave!" Hearing Gan Ning's voice in the house, Xu Shu immediately called him.
Gan Ning, who answered the door, heard that Xu Shu was knocking on the door outside, and he was unhappy because he didn't sleep well, and he was swept clean in an instant.
He hurriedly left the bunk, put on his clothes, and opened the door for Xu Shu.
In the family where Gan Ning stayed, when he moved in, the husband and wife had already gone to the neighbor's house to stay overnight, so he was the only one in the house.
The door opened, and when he saw Xu Shu standing at the door, Gan Ning gave him a fist salute and said, "Gong Xu is so early!" ”
"Now it's still under Liu Biao!" Hugging his fist and giving Gan Ning a salute back, Xu Shu said: "I have to leave here as much as possible, otherwise the night will be long and dreamy!" ”
Knowing that he was right, Gan Ning answered, put on his shirt, turned back to the house, and picked up his blade.
When he turned back to the door, he said to Xu Shu: "I'm ready to stop, but I'm on the road!" ”
When Xu Shu came to summon Gan Ning, there were already Yulin guards who went to ask Zhuge Jun to get up.
The two of them were ready to stop, and Zhuge Jun was also washing, just waiting for Xu Shu to give the order to set off.
Before leaving the village, Xu Shu asked the Yulin guards to leave some copper coins for the people in the village who allowed them to stay, and then left the village with everyone.
After they left, the husband and wife who had allowed Gan Ning to stay overnight returned home, and they saw dozens of copper coins placed on the cover of the home remedies.
Seeing the copper coins, the woman hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the copper coins in her hands, and counted them one by one.
When the count was finished, she raised her head, looked at her man with a stunned expression, and said, "Forty-six copper coins, this is three months' rations for the two of me!" ”
The man with the same stunned face stood in the house, his mouth slightly open, and after a long while, he said: "Yesterday, when they entered the village, they only thought that they were the nearest king, but they didn't expect that they would give so many benefits just for one night!" You and I have met a noble person! ”
Clutching the copper coin tightly, the woman nodded heavily.
Together with Gan Ning, he led the team out of the small village, Xu Shu and the others traveled under the stars and nights, and arrived at the southernmost border of Daqin in less than a day.
The southern border of Great Qin is precisely the Shouchun captured by Liu Wei earlier.
Entering the territory of Daqin, Xu Shu finally relieved himself a little, and while riding towards Shouchun City, he said to Gan Ning and Zhuge Jun: "I've been on the road for days, I'll rest in Shouchun tonight, and I'll stay until tomorrow when I'm full of sleep, and then it's not too late to set off!" ”
In order to leave Liu Biao's territory as soon as possible, everyone has been on the road continuously for the past few days, and even when they sleep at night, they are awake with half their eyes open.
Hearing Xu Shu say that he could sleep well on the second day and then go on the road, Gan Ning stretched his waist on the back of the horse and said to Xu Shu: "I have been on the road for a few days, and I am really a little tired!" If you can sleep well, it's refreshing! ”
"Earlier, it was in Liu Biao's territory, if we delayed, I can't say how many incidents will happen!" Smiling slightly, Xu Shu said: "Now that I have come to Shouchun, I have entered the realm of Daqin, and I forgive Liu Biao who is not too bold and dares to come here to find bad luck!" ”
Xu Shu was full of confidence when he spoke, and Gan Ning couldn't stop nodding.
Zhuge Jun, who walked with the two, was silent along the way.
There was not a single soldier under his command, Zhuge Jun stopped walking along the way, and at night, Xu Shu and Gan Ning still had to consider how to place the hundreds of men, and he fell asleep and nourished his spirit.
Although he can nourish his spirit every day, Zhuge Jun has not been very happy these days.
First, no one said much to him, and although he followed the procession, he was bored.
The second is that he often sleeps in the wild, eating and sleeping in the open, and these days he has thoroughly explained the hardships that he has not endured for many years before.
Knowing that he could rest well when he entered Shouchun, Zhuge Jun asked Xu Shu: "Master Xu, I have heard that Shouchun is an outstanding person, and the mountains and rivers are also very beautiful, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Shouchun landscape?" Turning his head to look at Zhuge Jun, Xu Shu said with a slight smile: "If you want to talk about the mountains and rivers here, there are countless more beautiful in the world!" The reason why His Royal Highness took great pains to seize this place at the beginning was because the Huai River lies in it, and although the mountains here are not very tall, they are also a natural barrier, and it is a place where soldiers must fight! ”
"In this way, Shouchun has nothing to play with!" After listening to Xu Shu's introduction, Zhuge Jun's face showed a touch of loss.
"That's not it!" Shaking his head, Xu Shu said: "When Shouchun was the capital of Chu during the Warring States Period, during the Han Dynasty, Liu An, the king of Huainan, compiled the "Legend of Honglie", which made the name of Huainan spread all over the world. ”
"But who doesn't know "Huainanzi" as a reader?" Smiling slightly, Zhuge Jun said: "I asked if there was a place to enjoy here, and it was because of this "Huainanzi"!" ”
"The place of fun ......" After a moment of silence, Xu Shu asked Zhuge Jun: "I don't know if Mr. is Leshan or Leshui?" ”
"Mountains and rivers are happy!" As soon as Xu Shu asked, Zhuge Jun answered.
"That's what it will do!" Grinning, Xu Shu said, "During the Han Dynasty, Liu An ordered eight alchemists to refine the elixir of immortality in the Xiangling Mountain. Naqiling was named Bagong Mountain because of the eight alchemists, but there are not many people who call him by this name now. On Bagong Mountain, the vegetation is luxuriant, and the water is close to the mountain, which is a good place with mountains and water! ”
thought that the landscape could arouse Zhuge Jun's interest, but after Xu Shu said these words, he immediately found that the look on Zhuge Jun's face was somewhat lost.
What he was looking for was obviously not just landscapes.
"Sir, but you're not satisfied with the landscape?" Staring at Zhuge Jun, Xu Shu asked again.
"There are mountains and rivers, but no one wants to see them, and it can't be said to be a great place!" Shaking his head, Zhuge Jun responded with a smile.
Although he said this implicitly, Xu Shu couldn't hear the sound outside the strings.
With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xu Shu lowered his eyelids and groaned for a moment before saying to Zhuge Jun: "The Huai River is located between Shouchun and Xia Cai, and there are many qin and chess Meiji on it, if Mr. is fond of it, I will wait for tomorrow when I go to Xia Cai, I can rest for a day in the middle of the road......"
"That's all it would be nice to do!" There is a qin and chess Meiji on the Huai River, which is exactly what Zhuge Jun wants, he quickly nodded and said: "There is such an excellent place, so you should go and have a good time!" ”
has traveled all over the world, and is well-read and wise, Xu Shu has a lot of experience.
He had also seen some of these people, and he didn't feel so strange about Zhuge Jun's reaction.
But Gan Ning, who was on the side, frowned, and when he looked at Zhuge Jun, his face inadvertently showed a touch of disdain.
As a martial artist, Gan Ning pays great attention to women's sexuality, and Zhuge Jun learned that there was a beautiful girl in the Huai River, so he looked like he couldn't hold it back, which inevitably made him unhappy.
Since Xu Shu said that there was a beautiful girl on the Huai River, Zhuge Jun's words increased, and while moving forward, he talked to Xu Shu about how beautiful women are rare in Longzhong.
Riding forward with Xu Shu, Zhuge Jun was saying some inconsequential words, and rushed up to ride a fast horse.
Seeing the fast horse from a distance, Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and said to Gan Ning and Zhuge Jun on the side: "Your Highness has someone here!" ”
It's just that when he saw a fast horse rushing towards them, he didn't see the appearance of the person who came at all, Xu Shu knew that the person was sent by Liu Bian, not someone else, which really made Gan Ning and Zhuge both wonder in their hearts.
"How did Duke Xu know that it was sent by His Highness?" Looking at the cavalry rushing towards them, Gan Ning asked Xu Shu a little suspiciously.
"The person who came is the palace guard, except for His Royal Highness, who can send the guard to run so far!" With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Xu Shu raised his hand and pointed forward, and then said to Zhuge Jun: "If a certain expectation is not bad, the guards are coming, but His Highness has something to say to Mr." ”
Before the oncoming cavalry arrived, Xu Shu knew why he came here, and Zhuge Jun was also a little unbelieving in his heart.
But he didn't speak, what Xu Shu could see, if he couldn't see it, he would already be half a cut shorter than a person in terms of intelligence.
If he said that he saw it, the people who came did not come to look for him, and they would have become the laughing stock of Xu Shu.
The best way at the moment is to remain silent and not answer Xu Shu's words.
