Su Shaoying was a little hurt by his unclear but vaguely contemptuous gaze. Didn't the Lord himself say that his friend wanted to experience the scenery of the world?He specially built this hall, and now it seems that he was slapped on the horse's leg?Some grievances.

But he felt the need to defend himself, so he took a step forward, stood sideways half a step in front of Lin Heng, made a gesture of invitation, and said: "My lord, the Hell Mansion is too rich, so this subordinate decides to change this place." This is the Loyalty Hall, which is used to discuss matters on weekdays. This time, in order to welcome the Lord, I have ordered people to prepare a banquet. The brothers in the hall gathered here to welcome the Lord. I also invite the Lord to take the seat, so that all the brothers can look at the Lord. style!"

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows. Although what he said was nice, why did he always feel that there was something in his words?After seeing the excited expression on Gong Xuanyu's face from the corner of the eye, combined with Su Shaoying's deliberately emphasized words, he immediately understood, and gave him an appreciative look: "Very well done."

The corners of Su Shaoying's mouth curled up slightly, maintaining a gesture of invitation, and said: "My lord, please take your seat."

Lin Heng walked all the way to the high platform. A long table had been set up in front of the chairs. The chairs were big and the table was also very long. It was more than enough for four or five people. Lin Heng pulled Gong Xuanyu and sat in front of the chairs together. An Yi and An An The second consciously played the dark guard's specialty, perfectly blended into the crowd, and got a seat with him.

Su Shaoying and some high-level officials sat at the table closest to Lin Heng, raised their glasses and said, "Your Majesty."

The people below shouted "My lord!" It was very rough, and the strong breath of the rivers and lakes rushed to his face, which made Lin Heng very uncomfortable. He hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, probably... More than 20 years?Since he became more and more crazy in his previous life, no one was willing to invite him to participate in the Jianghu gathering.

Sitting on the high platform, seeing the eager eyes of everyone in the hall looking at him, he couldn't help feeling a surge of pride in his heart. He raised a wine glass as big as a sea bowl, and said: "Respect all brothers." After finishing speaking, he drank do.

There was a loud applause from below, all the martial arts practitioners were full of energy, the noise almost broke the roof, and soon let go of eating and drinking lively.

Lin Heng's face was cold, everyone respected and feared him, and they didn't dare to make him drink, so after drinking three cups, they all started talking and laughing with the people around them, Gong Xuanyu covered him with long sleeves, and gently pinched him hand, and asked with some distress: "Brother Heng, what's wrong?"

Lin Heng shook his head: "No problem."

Gong Xuanyu took his wine glass, put it aside, and calmly asked the waiter on the other side to serve tea and snacks, the waiter obediently went to fetch them, Gong Xuanyu picked up a chopstick dish, and commented: "Not bad, Don't have a flavor."

As he spoke, he picked up another chopstick and gave it to Lin Heng: "Brother Heng, try it."

Ever since he left the capital, Gong Xuanyu has started to let himself go. His attitude is so friendly and clingy that people can't bear to look directly at him. An Yi and An Er felt stuffy along the way, and they didn't want to say anything, but Lin Heng seemed to be Already subtly accustomed to this way of getting along.

Or it can be said that Lin Heng really likes to pamper all the people he likes, anyway, he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Some of the more careful people in the hall noticed his movements, and their faces couldn't help being a little weird, and they couldn't tell what was wrong, so they had to hold back and pretend that they didn't see anything. People who are floating in the rivers and lakes have to wink!

……

Lin Heng and Gong Xuanyu didn't stay in Shanxi for a long time, they just took a tour, and three days later, they were ready to leave.

Su Shaoying prepared the carriage and servants, as well as a pile of long-lasting food and wine, and even brought a cook. There were three large carriages in total. Including the one Lin Heng and the others took when they came, there were four carriages. There are about twenty guards with swords on tall horses.

Lin Heng glanced at it, frowned and said: "There are too many people, right? We came out this time to have a good time, so it would be too much to attract attention." He was still afraid that Gong Xuanyu would be troubled if he was recognized.

Su Shaoying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you are too worried. The brothers I selected are all experienced in and out of the desert. In addition, there is another steward who was originally in charge of the Yan Mansion and the Western Regions trade route. He pretended to be a merchant in the Western Regions and went to the desert , Such a team will not attract people's prying, if the Lord goes alone, it will attract attention."

Lin Heng thought for a while, and felt that it made sense. He glanced at Gong Xuanyu, who nodded with a smile: "Su Daxia makes sense."

Lin Heng nodded: "That's it."

Su Shaoying smiled and cupped her hands: "I wish the Lord a good journey."

Lin Heng nodded, and got on the carriage, Gong Xuanyu followed, An Yin and An Er continued to act as coachmen, and the rest of the people also returned to their positions, and the team marched in an orderly manner.

The carriages have been refitted, and the logo of the Yan Mansion has been added. Everyone in the world knows that after the Jinpengguo incident, Su Shaoying inherited the power of the Yan Mansion. People with a discerning eye will only think that Su Shaoying intends to continue to develop business with the Western Regions after seeing this sign. , although the team is relatively small, no one would dare to harass rashly.

The attendant's surname is Yan, and his name is Yan Laosan. He is Yan Tieshan's confidant servant. His martial arts are not very good, but his ability should not be underestimated. It is dark and wrinkled, and the eyes seem to be a little cloudy, but there is an inexplicable majesty that makes people dread.

This Yan Laosan has been doing business in the desert for many years. His heart is cruel enough and his hands are hot enough. Coupled with his understanding of the desert, he is well-known in the Western Regions. After Yan Tieshan died, he also wanted revenge. Suspicious of Huo Tianqing, he gathered his staff, lay dormant, and slowly planned.

Later, Lin Heng avenged Yan Tieshan, Yan Laosan thought it was Dugu Yihe, and brought people to vote for Su Shaoying. He was told about Lin Heng just now, and he has always been grateful to Lin Heng. I want to be perfect, one is to repay the favor, and the other is to add points to the new boss.

With him leading the way, what are the delicious and fun things to do along the way, especially some little-known but delicious small restaurants? A good guide makes all the difference.

Yan Laosan, who received Lin Heng's approval, squinted his cloudy eyes, twirled his beard, smiled unsatisfactorily, and worked with more dedication. His old man has seen countless people, and he has never seen anyone like Lin Heng. Grace, he is a genius who is rare to see in martial arts, and his friend, at first glance, is a dignitary in a high position, and the two guards around him, tsk tsk, such people are just mere guards, the master even Needless to say.

Yan Laosan's apprentice, a boy with a pretty face and a happy look, called Du'er, trotted over, leaned next to Yan Laosan, and said with a smile: "Master, our master! It's so beautiful! Like a fairy, I have never seen such a good-looking person before. I heard that when he stood there, those little heads who usually couldn't drag each other trembled like quails, hey, that majestic !"

Yan Laosan knocked on his forehead, and spat: "You little bastard, you know what an idiot! How can I teach you on weekdays, but you dare to gossip about the master behind your back."

Du'er giggled, covered his head and hid for a while, not afraid of him at all: "Our master is good, following such a master, I will be 1 willing to Du'er, Master, I will definitely learn from you in the future. Master works!"

Yan Laosan snorted: "Well, this is almost like a human saying."

Although he knew that a big man like Lin Heng might not see them a few times in this life, it would be good if his apprentice could get along with Su Shaoying, but a young man must have a little dream, this kid usually told him to run with him I always say that my business skills are boring, but this time I am more energetic.

No one knew about this episode, and Lin Heng didn't know that he had gained another little admirer. After leaving Jiayuguan, all the way west was the Great Desert of the Western Regions.

Yan Laosan exchanged horses for camels before leaving the customs, and brought a lot of water and dry food from the border to hang on the camels. Meat and tea were stored in the carriage. The carriage had already been painted with a layer of anti-exposure paint. After the third child arrived here, he specially invited the best craftsmen to paint it again, and also customized several sets of covers made of a thick and dense felt cloth.

When the sun is at its strongest, these covers will come in handy, as well as thick fur cloaks, blankets, tents, etc. Although they were brought with them when they came, Yan Laosan prepared a lot, so that the vehicles would Four more vehicles were added, so there were a total of eight large vehicles, and there were also experienced escorts hired temporarily, which looked like a large caravan.

After walking in the desert for half a day, there is no trace of any buildings, and the vast yellow sand is like an endless ocean.

The people outside the carriage wrapped themselves tightly, only showing a pair of eyes, even if they were so hot that they would explode, they did not dare to expose their skin to the venomous sunlight.

The entire space seemed to have no water or wind, and the sea of ​​sand seemed to be flowing slowly under the feet, and there seemed to be endless danger hidden under the sand.

But these people walked quite relaxed. The carriage had already been covered with black felt, and the coating inside was also effective in blocking the heat. At least the people in the carriage would not be overheated.

The people outside the carriage are all people who have experienced the desert, and they are quite used to it, or they can endure it. Yan Laosan has rich experience, and adjusts his direction according to the position of the sun from time to time to ensure that they will not get lost in the desert. Such a guide is equivalent to an extra life-saving talisman.
