Volume 1 The Return of the Old Man Chapter 129 A Late-Night Visitor
Xie Mengxia swam to the shore, his legs floating in the water, propping his cheeks, raising his eyebrows and asking, "What's it, Ah Qi, don't scare me." ”
Yao Qi is serious: "Water snakes, piranhas, they all like to eat meat." ”
Xie Mengxia suddenly crawled out of the water, picked up a handful of water, and said in surprise: "It's really fake, I think this water is quite clear." ”
Yao Qi grinned, took off his face coat, sunglasses and hood, and did not shy away from his clothes and soaked in the water.
Xie Mengxia suddenly realized: "Ah Qi, you lied to me again." ”
Yao Qi laughed and kept slapping the water.
In the center of the spring is a small oasis, and at this time the grass is withered and yellow, and there is no greenery, and hundreds of springs are bubbling with clear water.
Han Changwan was about to enter the water and go to the spring in the oasis to get water, but Xie Mengxia grabbed him and pointed to his shoulder: "Jiuchao, your injury can't touch the water, I'll go, Ah Qi, remember to give me the water bladder." ”
Xie Mengxia and the two of them were busy fetching water, and Han Changdui was not idle, and poisoned the fish crowded in the water.
After a long time of work, there were a lot of fat whitebait on the shore, constantly fluttering and struggling.
Han Changdui took the dagger, knocked the fish out one by one, disemboweled, scraped the scales and removed the gills, and this action was like flowing water in one go.
Xie Mengxia walked back with a water bladder filled with water, and said with a smile: "The dignified Han Shizi washed his hands and made soup, Ah Qi, the two of us are so happy." ”
Yao Qi followed behind and smiled: "Of course, you can eat more later." She looked at the silverfish all over the ground, and continued to smile at Xie Mengxia: "Your Highness, do you want to have fish to eat all the way back?" ”
Xie Mengxia nodded repeatedly.
Yao Qi pointed to the spring water with his backhand: "Then don't hurry up and catch the fish." ”
Xie Mengxia laughed, and threw the fat whitebait to the shore one by one, and Han Changwan cleaned them up one by one and threw them to Yao Ji with his backhand.
Yao Qi smeared each fish with large grains of green salt inside and out, put it on a branch, first roasted it with a large fire for half an hour, then extinguished the open flame, and slowly baked it with only the sparks buried in the ashes and the residual temperature of the ashes.
The aroma of the fish slowly comes through.
It was already completely dark, and one person was holding a bowl of fish soup, eating and drinking, and eating and drinking quite satisfied.
Xie Mengxia looked at the whitebait neatly set up on the fire, and asked curiously, "Ah Qi, how long do you have to roast this fish?" ”
Yao Qi glanced at it and smiled: "Two more hours." ”
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at night, Xie Mengxia jumped into the water, took a bath happily, and held the sweat-soaked, wet and dry, already hard clothes, he reluctantly rubbed them twice, thought about it and threw it away.
Yao Qi sneered, scattered wet long hair, her hair grew quickly, before entering Mohe Yanmoraine, she deliberately cut her long hair short to shoulder length, who expected that this would loosen the bun, and the long hair had fallen to the back.
She thought about it, took out the scissors and gestured between her hair, and was about to cut them.
Han Changdui walked over, took the scissors very naturally, compared them between his hair, and asked lightly, "Is it okay to cut this?" ”
Yao Qi nodded extremely naturally: "Just shoulder to shoulder." ”
As soon as the scissors went down, the long wet hair fell to the ground.
Xie Mengxia sat by the fire, looked at the two of them thoughtfully, suddenly sighed, picked up the clothes that he threw away, washed them, and baked them beside the fire.
Han Changwan was stunned for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Yo, His Royal Highness the King of Han will do the laundry." ”
Xie Mengxia smiled: "That, if it gets colder and colder the more you walk, this dress can still keep you cold." ”
After all the way, the three of them were exhausted, so they laid out sheep felt under the hidden red willow tree and slept soundly in their sleeping bags.
The night was getting deeper, and Qing Lingling was scattered here, and in the quiet night, there was a very slight sound of footsteps.
Han Changdui opened his eyes suddenly, and did not sit up rashly, but slowly turned his head and looked around.
By the moonlight, he saw that Yao Qi also had his eyes open, cautiously looking in the direction where the voice came from.
When they went to sleep, they chose a secret place, surrounded by red willow trees, and the luxuriant, withered yellow reeds just sheltered the three men and the horses.
Both of them struggled to lower their breath and stared into the distance.
A shadowy shadow like a mountain walked over, and every step had the potential to shake the mountain.
Walked to the reeds in the distance and stopped, where there was a clear back, and it was impossible to distinguish between men and women.
"Young master." The mountain-like shadow saluted, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Han Changwan and the others were startled.
This voice sounds very familiar, and with the mountain-like figure, it is Zhu Rong who appeared in the fifth beacon.
Han Changwan and Yao Qi glanced at each other in surprise, and held their breath more deliberately.
Qing Jun's back didn't turn around, but just muttered in a low voice: "Did you catch them?" ”
Zhu Rong said in a deep voice: "Not yet, before they entered the fifth Feng, they heard that the King of Han was taken away by a wolf, so they turned back to save the King of Han." ”
Qing Jun's back was a little angry, and his voice suddenly became sharp and harsh: "Why haven't you caught it yet, haven't the Turks already cut off their way back to the Fifth Beacon?" ”
Zhu Rong said unhurriedly: "The subordinates have searched along their route, and the six garrisons who went out together were all killed, and the entourage of the King of Han was also dead, they should have gone to the nearest Chiya Post here." ”
Qing Jun's back was stunned for a moment: "How is the ambush set up along the way?" ”
Zhu Rong firmly whispered: "Don't worry, the young master, keep it so that they will not return." ”
Qing Jun's back turned around, and the moonlight shrouded his face, looking in the direction of Yao Ji, he could see it very clearly.
Her heart sank, and she inexplicably felt that face was a little familiar.
She didn't have time to think about it, but she saw Qing Jun's back handing Zhu Rong something, but it was dark and she couldn't see it clearly.
Qing Jun's back said slowly: "You take this, go to see the commander of Chiya Feng, and the two of you will work together to kill Han Changdui in Feng." ”
Zhu Rong pondered and said, "Then, His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”
"King Han, King Han is our talisman." Qingjun's back smiled sympathetically: "His life is precious, of course he can't be killed, he has to be kept, you kidnap him, and send him to Gaochang Country with good food and drink, and it will be of great use in the future." ”
Zhu Rong nodded and said: "What the young master said is very true, with this straw bag Han King, the young master can have bargaining chips to negotiate with the holy master, and also have more power for self-preservation." ”
Qingjun smiled on his back: "I have endured it for twenty years, waiting for this day, in the past few years, he has also noticed that my wings are getting fuller, it is difficult to control, and he gradually became murderous, if we can't completely get rid of this trouble this time, we will have no way to live." ”
Zhu Rong also gradually became solemn, and his voice was low: "Don't worry, young master, we have been planning for many years, and we will definitely not lose." ”
With that, the two men went in opposite directions, and went their separate ways, and the place was quiet again.
Yao Qi searched his stomach and thought about the appearance of that person, but he only felt familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Ouch, this king is such a straw bag, why are so many people thinking about it." Seeing the two of them walking away and disappearing, in the silence, Xie Mengxia suddenly made a sound, startling Han Changdui.
Han Changdui smiled: "It turns out that His Highness has also woken up." ”
Xie Mengxia laughed jokingly: "Yes, yes, someone wants to tie me up as a talisman, and I don't have to wake up in fright." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled incomprehensibly.
After not seeing Yao Qi speak for a long time, Han Changwei felt strange and shouted a few times: "Ah Qi, Ah Qi, what do you want." ”
Yao Qi came back to his senses and said "ah": "The prince called me?" ”
"Change your name, call Childe." Han Changwan sighed: "I asked you what you wanted, and you were all out of your mind. ”
Yao Qi smiled disguisedly: "I was just thinking, why did they want to kidnap His Royal Highness the King of Han as a hostage, what do they want to do." ”
Han Changwan didn't believe Yao Qi's serious nonsense, and he spoke slowly: "I'm thinking, the young master and the holy master of the Four Holy Sects seem to be very discordant, and they have the intention of turning against each other. ”
Xie Mengxia whispered: "Fools have heard it, do you still need to think about it?" ”
Han Changwan let out an "oh" and asked lightly: "Then what does Your Highness think?" ”
Xie Mengxia thought for a moment, got out of the sleeping bag excitedly, and shook his head pretending to be a ghost: "That's nature." Jiu Chao, you are here to investigate the case of the disappearance of the silver, but this young master is biting you to the death, and kill you quickly, then this case of the disappearance of the silver must be inseparable from them, but this silver is definitely not in the hands of the young master, it should be in the hands of the holy master, the young master will be so painstakingly to tie me up, and make some exchanges with the holy master, Jiu Chao, they want to set up an ambush to kill you in Chiya, and they want to kidnap me to Gaochang Kingdom, as the saying goes, I can't bear the child and can't catch the wolf, so let's not go to the Chiya Station, Let's go straight to Gaochangguo. ”
After hearing this, Yao Qi was stunned, she suddenly found that Xie Mengxia didn't seem to be as straw as she imagined.
So, is it because he went through hardships and dangers along the way and suddenly opened his mind, or is this his true face, he used to do something, then his acting skills are too good.
Moreover, who is he acting for?
The saint is still the king of Qin.
She turned her head to look at Han Changdu, and found that he was not surprised at all, she nodded secretly, it seems that these two pieces of goods have been playing double reeds.
Han Changwan nodded approvingly: "It seems that His Highness's hardships along the way have not been in vain." ”
Xie Mengxia snorted disdainfully.
Han Changwan smiled faintly: "Then according to what His Highness said, let's not go to Chiya Station, and go directly to Gaochang Kingdom." ”
Xie Mengxia smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
Yao Qi climbed out of the sleeping bag, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and sighed helplessly: "Since I am going to Gaochang Kingdom, then I will make a few more water bladders, lest we die of thirst before we reach Gaochang Kingdom." ”
Xie Mengxia was very curious, and leaned over to look: "Ah Qi, how can you do anything, even water bladders." ”
