When a passerby becomes a princess

The sleigh cart was not too big, and the people sitting on it could not lie down, but could only sit huddled together. Fortunately, there was an exit of the secret passage near the material warehouse. They carried a lot of furs, cotton jackets, bedding and other items, so Even though he is huddled on the sleigh, he can still resist the growing wind and snow with the fur around him.

Branches were hung behind each cart to sweep away the deep marks left by the sleigh carts. It took only half a day to see anything in such heavy snow.

Liang Xi went to retrieve the fruit, the strange fish and the skin bag containing the pond water. Originally, he wanted to ride a horse, but the tiger head would follow him no matter what. Liang Xi tried to force him out of his arms, always cheerful Hutou was crying so hard that he was out of breath. In the end, Liang Xi had no choice but to get on the sleigh.

Although they had a sleigh cart, they actually didn’t travel fast, mainly because the snow was too thick and it was very inconvenient for the horses to run. Moreover, they had to abandon the original route into the Gobi Desert, because the road had already I know, it is very likely that they will be waiting for them on the road.

They are now taking a route they used long ago. Not only the new horse bandits like Hu Jiu don’t know about it, but even Zhang Shu and Zheng Huang have only heard of it. Only a few old people who escaped know how to go.

An old man was sitting next to Liang Xi. He was said to be old, but in fact he was only in his sixties.It is very rare for a horse bandit to live to be more than 60 years old, especially because he has no disabilities and has all hands and feet.The greatest joy of an old man is "thinking about the past...", even if Feng Da opened his mouth to fill his mouth with snow, he couldn't stop his interest in talking, so Liang Xi sitting next to him could only become the object of listening.

"This road has been abandoned for more than ten years, and he hasn't walked it since Chief Qiao became the chief. It's no wonder that the road was full of bearded heads back then. You couldn't see it in winter, but you could see it in summer. Seeing skeletons all over the ground, even we are panicking."

Liang Xi shuddered when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many bearded corpses?"

Seeing Liang Xi answering the words, the old man was shocked immediately, his back straightened a lot, and said: "Those are all the beards we killed. Every time we come back from the grassland, we will bring back the heads of the beards we killed and throw them here. On this road, the wolves and bears on the rocky mountains on both sides are waiting by the roadside, waiting for us to throw our heads, and sometimes we will bring them a few whole corpses."

Liang Xi thought of a group of wolves and bears standing on the side of the road nibbling on human heads, and suddenly felt even colder. He quickly wrapped his skin around the tiger's head tightly, and said, "Why did you bring the head back? habit?"

The old man shook his head, and said with a bit of nostalgia in his eyes: "Is it a habit? It's the old boss who said that he was in a good mood when he saw bearded skeletons all over the place on the way home... Don't look at her as a woman, but she is very skilled. Her kindness and heart are unmatched by us men."

Liang Xi was stunned. On the way home, he saw skeletons lying all over the place. How could he be in a good mood?He couldn't help but glanced at Second Sister Qiao on the other side, and carefully moved his body away from her.

Just inadvertently, the word "woman" has become more and more terrifying in Liang Xi's heart.

It can be said that there are many difficulties along the way, the wind and snow are still second, and the most important thing is food and rest.The food they brought out is only enough for about ten days. In this heavy snow season, almost all the wild animals have gone to find a place to spend the winter, and they can't find any prey at all. Many old people and women have begun to reduce their food intake and save food for men and children. .

At first, Liang Xi refused to accept it no matter what. In his opinion, men should save food for the elderly and women, not the other way around.But the old man beside him told him that various dangers may appear anytime and anywhere on the grassland. Only when men are full and strong can they protect the elderly, women and children.Otherwise, when danger is encountered, everyone will die.

Taking the food silently, Liang Xi only felt bitterness in his mouth.

Beard will abandon the elderly and children in winter because of the lack of food. In fact, the food in Liangguo is not optimistic, and the land is not fertile. Except for some counties in the south, many other places are sandy, and there are many places with land It is not suitable for planting at all. For example, Beimo County has the same cultivated area, but the harvest is not as good as a quarter of that of southern counties.

"Food..." Liang Xi murmured, looking at the vast snow field, he remembered a sentence that Lin Qiu once said, "Food is the paramount necessity of the people".

After four days of walking, it took seven full days to leave the Gobi Desert. Originally, they planned to go to the grassland to find a few small tribes to rob, get enough food, and then go to Liangguo. Who knew that they had just entered the grassland, and they met the escort. people.

Among the three dark and thin men, Zhang Shu recognized one of them as a dealer who specialized in selling stolen goods for horse bandits and bandits, known as Xiao Xiazi.

"Long time no see, Chief Zhang." Although Blind Xiao was called a blind man, his eyes were actually extremely sharp. While greeting Zhang Shu with fists on his horse, he quickly swept over everyone on the sleigh.

"Shopkeeper Xiao's business is booming." Zhang Shu also punched him, but he was thinking about Xiao Blind's reason for coming.

"Hehe, I'm just trying to make ends meet." Blind Xiao smiled cheerfully, got off his horse and punched Liang Xi, and said, "This is Liang Xi, Mr. Liang?"

Liang Xi was taken aback, got out of the car with the tiger's head in his arms, nodded to Blind Xiao Xiao, and said, "Exactly."

Only then did Blind Xiao show a sincere smile, and said, "I was entrusted by a boss Liu to look for Mr. Liang everywhere."

"Boss Liu?" Liang Xi must have heard from Qiao Shanbao that someone was looking for him everywhere, but who is this Boss Liu?

Blind Xiao didn't explain, but said, "Boss Liu ordered me to send Mr. Liang safely to the territory of Daliang. The route has been arranged. Please rest assured, Mr. Liang."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Liang Xi thought about it, pointed to the team behind him and said, "These people want to go to Daliang Kingdom with me."

Blind Xiao was in a bit of a dilemma. The only entrustment he accepted was Liang Xi. To send one person and send a team of more than 400 people was completely different in terms of manpower and material resources. Don't worry, I will try my best to arrange your itinerary."

Only then did Liang Xi return to the car, and let the team follow Xiao Xiazi to the first pick-up point.

"Liang Xi," Second Sister Qiao called him from the side, and said, "Is that Boss Liu from your family?" She didn't say much along the way, but followed Liang Xi silently.

Liang Xi shook his head and said, "I don't know who that Boss Liu is, probably my family sent him to look for me."

Second Sister Qiao blinked and said, "Could it be sent by your wife?"

Liang Xi thought for a while, and said, "Probably they were not sent by my wife, he doesn't know these people."

Second Sister Qiao said curiously, "What kind of person is your wife?"

Thinking of Lin Qiu, Liang Xi couldn't help showing a smile, and said: "He doesn't like to talk very much, he is always quiet, but he is very smart, and any difficult problem can be easily solved in front of him. It's just that he has been in poor health and can't He is also particularly afraid of the cold, so he has to drink medicine every day." He touched the cloth bag beside him and said, "But I brought him medicine this time, I hope he will recover after taking it."

Second Sister Qiao looked at the cloth bag and said, "You think about your wife so much, she must be very kind to you, right?"

"Well, he is very kind to me." Liang Xi said with a smile.At this time, the snow had stopped, the thick clouds parted, and a few long-lost rays of sunlight penetrated through the clouds, which happened to shine on Liang Xi's face, making his already handsome face even more plump and divine.

Second Sister Qiao stared at it for a long time, until Hutou woke up, laughing and joking with Liang Xi, while yelling "Qiu...mother...", she suddenly woke up.She lowered her head, glanced at the cloth bag beside her, and bit her lip.

I walked for twenty days in a row, during which time people kept bringing food and items.

Because Blind Xiao sent someone to explore the way ahead, although he took a long detour, he didn't meet any beards, and he reached the border of Hu State almost without any danger.

On this day, Liang Xi finally saw the mountains in the distance, he was so happy that he almost jumped out of the car, as long as he saw the mountains, it meant that he was approaching the Liang Kingdom, how could he not be excited.

At this moment, a few fast horses came running from a distance, Liang Xi thought they were here to deliver food again, but he saw blind Xiao Xiao galloping forward to greet him, and after a while he brought the horses to Liang Xi, pointing at Liang Xi. Xi said to one of them: "Boss Liu, I handed Mr. Liang over to you intact."

The man glanced at Liang Xi, and said coldly to Blind Xiao, "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the things to you in ten days."

Liang Xi opened his mouth wide, and before he could yell out "Nurse Liu", he saw the old man next to him scrambling down from the car, ran up to the man, and shouted: "Boss, you are the big boss!" ?"

Yes, this "Boss Liu" is Nanny Liu who has been serving Lin Qiu all this time, and also the former leader of the horse bandits.More than ten years ago, she took advantage of the war between the Hu State and the Liang State, and led hundreds of horse bandit brothers to sweep across the grasslands and tribes.Hu Guo and Daliang Guo fought countless casualties in the front, but she killed Hu Guo's rear with blood flowing into rivers.

Later, the Hu State was defeated and withdrew, so naturally they couldn't let go of this group of horse bandits who were looting by fire. The army of thousands of people chased them and fled in all directions. When it came to Grandma Liu who had fled into the territory of Daliang Kingdom, Su Hongyi, regardless of her own life, fought off more than a thousand bearded soldiers with hundreds of soldiers escorting her, and rescued Grandma Liu and her team of horse bandits.Because she was old and didn't want to be a horse bandit anymore, and she was grateful for Su Hongyi's life-saving grace, she punished herself three times and left the horse bandit, and went to the General's Mansion to become a nun.

Seeing her former old brother at this time, Mammy Liu was also very excited, but she just nodded to the old man, glared at Liang Xi, and said, "Master is back, please call me when you go out next time." Say hello, and you don’t have to worry about it at home.”

Liang Xi: "..." It's not an illusion. In the eyes of these nuns, my status must be extremely low, extremely low, extremely low... But... big boss?Is this the big boss who will be in a good mood when he sees the skeleton when he returns home?God!

However, Liang Xi's heart was finally relieved when he saw Nanny Liu.The wind and snow had stopped, so he just rode beside Nanny Liu with his tiger head in his arms, and asked how Lin Qiu was doing.

Mother Liu coldly swept the tiger's head in his arms, and the second sister Qiao who also got out of the car and rode beside her, said: "Don't worry about me, young master is now at Yingzui Cliff Pass, following Lin Yueshao by the general's side."

"Ah?" Liang Xi was startled when he heard that, and quickly said, "What is Qiu'er going to do at the border? I heard that Hu Guo attacked the border. That place is so dangerous, why did Qiu'er go there?"

Nanny Liu snorted coldly, with a bit of complacency on her face, and said, "With young master here, it doesn't matter how many beards you have."

Liang Xi hurriedly asked what was going on.

It turned out that since Lin Qiu arrived at Yingzui Cliff Pass, Hu Zi lost his previous luck.First, incendiary bombs, and then water dragons, burned and frozen countless bearded soldiers.After the two heavens of ice and fire, Lin Qiu and Su Ye transformed the long crossbow together to make a ballista.A few days ago, I transformed the crossbow into a multi-shot crossbow. There are hundreds of arrows in a large box, and it is placed on the top of the city. It can fire nine arrows at a time. After shooting, it will automatically reload and shoot out continuously. It is almost comparable to The machine gun of modern society.

All the defenders adore Lin Qiu and Su Ye. With such a magical weapon, why are they afraid of beards in the future?That's how many people come and die.Only Lin Yue, who was unable to kill Beard after his injury, felt a little depressed, but his depression was ignored by everyone.

Based on the principle of resource sharing, the other passes were soon equipped with incendiary bombs, water dragons, ballistas, multi-shot crossbows and other weapons, killing more than [-] bearded soldiers in just ten days The big camp more than a dozen miles away dared not come again. If it wasn't for the fact that there were too few cavalry in Daliang Kingdom, and these weapons were all defensive weapons, Lin Lian would have wanted to open the city gate and go out to attack.

"Qiu'er is really amazing!" Liang Xi was beaming when he heard that, he didn't hurt his self-esteem at all because Lin Qiu was too powerful, he was only proud that she was his Qiu'er, his crown princess.

Nanny Liu was quite satisfied with his performance, finally a smile appeared on her old face, and she said: "That's natural, even if the young master is in poor health, he is still the son of the Lin family, the son of the general and his wife, he is not someone They are all comparable." After speaking, he cast a glance at the pale Second Sister Qiao.

Second Sister Qiao tightened her grip on the reins. As the chief's daughter, she was naturally well-informed. The former chief, the son of General Lin, Qiu'er... Liang Xi's identity was almost revealed.Although Second Sister Qiao could tell from Liang Xi's temperament that his background must be extraordinary, she never expected that he would be the prince of Liang Xi.

She is just the daughter of a horse bandit leader. If she is the son of an ordinary rich family, maybe it is still possible, but the prince... what should I do?Not only are their identities very different, but his wife is also the son of General Lin... However, since he is a male wife, then... maybe he is not without opportunities.

As the saying goes, Wangshan broke his leg, even if he entered the border of Daliang Kingdom, Liang Xi and the others still walked for three days before reaching Beimo County.

Hearing the news, Lin Qiu returned to Beimo County two days early and lived in the backyard of the county government office that had been repaired.

When Liang Xi returned to the county government office, Lin Qiu was taking a nap, his palm-sized face was almost out of shape, and the faded black and white circles under his eyes reappeared. He hadn't had much rest since Liang Xi disappeared. He frowned even in his sleep.

Gently caressing Lin Qiu's dark eye circles, Liang Xi only felt a soreness in his chest, and couldn't help but whisper, "Qiu'er, I'm back."

I don't know if he heard Liang Xi's voice, Lin Qiu's body moved slightly, and he woke up, looking at the person beside the bed with dark eyes, his brows stretched out, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile.

"You're back." Lin Qiu stretched out his arm from under the quilt, and held Liang Xi's hand.
