Qingzhou trip

"Beside the thrush leaf Qiang, the plain clothes roll up the cold sand. Bow the bow and shoot the king of Xia, and slash Li Lang with the blade."

When Yun Bailu woke up on horseback, the first thing he heard was this bangzi, and then the pain that seemed to be soaked in fire and poison all over his body.Stretching her head out of the carriage, she seemed to return to the situation when she rushed to the sea of ​​sand that day: the day was yellow and the sand, the strong wind blew away the sound of clappers, and when she scratched the scar on her face, she subconsciously touched her waist—no wine bag.

Last night, when the weapons clashed outside Man Pass, she couldn't figure out which group of people came.Xie Penglai doesn't have that kind of heart, she probably writes letters to her superiors under the oil lamp of the county government at the moment.People who know Yanzhou are greedy for money and afraid of death.If there is any order to appease the envoy, the Beixia people have long been scared out of their wits.

Li Suyue?No matter how courageous she is, she can't make such a big noise by herself.

The sound of fighting outside lasted for almost two hours.When the cell door in front of Yun Bailu was knocked open, she stared at the masked leader holding a knife, "Dare to ask..."

She dared to ask, but people were not in the mood to answer.The blade was placed directly on her neck, and Yun Bailu followed wisely.When she left the Manguan county office, she saw that the city was on fire, and she was stared into the carriage and went out the north gate, the gate that her mother opened after her victory.

Yun Bailu squatted on the carriage and hugged his knees and looked at the door. When he came out of the hole in the wall, he looked up to see the world outside the door.Two drops of water suddenly splashed on the carriage, two torches were planted on the wall, and a head hung alone on the city gate. It turned out that what dripped down was blood.

Yun Bailu had already been dragged into the carriage before seeing that face clearly, "Be honest." It was a woman's voice.

"I just want to see, whose head is that on the tower?" Yun Bailu smiled at the person who pulled her, only showing her eyes and nostrils, "What do you call my sister?"

The woman lowered her eyes, "That head belongs to the county magistrate Manguan." She looked at Yun Bailu, "Sister?" The smile in her eyes had disappeared, and Yun Bailu touched her neck, "Your sister is fine too."

"Pa—" she had already received a slap on the face, and the woman shouted, "Shut up."

Then shut up and go to sleep. Yun Bailu, who hadn't slept soundly for several nights, lay in the carriage and slept till dark, not caring at all where this group of people took her captive.

Now that she woke up, she was in the mood to listen to the noise outside the car.Rubbing her eyes, this horse team made her open her mouth in surprise: there are people from the Northern Xia Dynasty, people from the Hua Dynasty, and some Tubo and Qiang people.There are all kinds of clothes and styles, like a marching field, if you don't see that they are all carrying weapons.

The one next to her carriage was a white horse, and the people on the horse didn't feel the heat, and they were also masked and exposed.Seeing Yun Bailu woke up, he reached into the mask and whistled loudly and gracefully.The hooves of a horse rushed towards him faster and faster.

Looking up, he saw a figure like a woman from far and near. After throwing her reins to her accomplice, the woman lightly jumped off the back of the brown horse and onto the cart.She looked down at Yun Bailu for a while, then untied the water bag from her waist and threw it to her.

After drinking a few swigs, Yun Bailu returned to the woman, "Thank you." My sister and sister couldn't help but ask Shantou, "Dare to ask where the hero wants to go?"

"Slap..." She received another lightning slap on the face.

"Open your eyes and talk nonsense, can't you tell that I am a woman? What kind of hero is not a hero?" The woman's hand strength is not inferior to that of Li Suyue who is hammering an iron hammer, and she also pays attention to the balance between left and right.At night, he slapped Yun Bailu's left cheek, but now it's his right cheek.

"Forget it, it's wrong to speak up. I won't ask." Yun Bailu lay down and didn't want to talk to her, "Whatever you love." It doesn't matter even if you leave the north gate and continue walking towards Beixia.

Just as he closed his eyes, Yun Bailu was suddenly grabbed by the collar and lifted up.The woman looked at her with a strange look in her eyes. "I slapped you for the first time last night because you were neither big nor young. I slapped you for the second time just because you opened your eyes and told nonsense."

Suddenly she raised her palm and slapped it left and right again, "The third slap is for you for your worthless father. The fourth slap is for your mother."

The stunned Yun Bailu cupped his face in his hands, "You are unreasonable? My father is a loser and you go find him. How did my mother offend you?"

Only then did the woman let go of her, and clapped her hands, "Baizhi owes me a lot. You still owe me a slap, and I have to get it sooner or later." She pointed to the south, "Look clearly, the green patch in front It’s Shahai, go back yourself. If you are asked, you will say that the thief slipped out while you were in the prison. Don’t talk nonsense, or your little lady will be in trouble.” She pointed at the brown horse again. Horse, "You ride it back."

He grabbed Yun Bailu by the collar and threw her out of the car, and threw her the whip, "Go away."

The whistle sounded again, and the cavalry members responded one after another, then suddenly changed their formation and dispersed into four teams to disperse in all directions.Yun Bailu sat in the sand and stared blankly, and then looked up at the brown horse beside him after a while, "Okay, it's just the two of us left."

She got on the horse, and before she had time to swing the whip, the horse had already galloped away, and Yun Egret, who was already injured, was screaming incessantly.

"Longmen melts into the sun, in front of the Yellow River in the snow. Murderous aura forms a cloud, and the fire shines on the wolf mountain." The sound of the clapper she heard for the first time came from a distance, and it was the slightly hoarse voice of the woman.

With great difficulty, she managed to hold the strong horse to slow it down, pondering those few clappers in her mind, feeling like she was singing someone else's song.The pain in her body hit again, she grasped the horse rope tightly, and suddenly let go of her throat, "Ah...ha... Langshan, Menghun has come to Yueniang."

No tone, no word.But after all, there is no need to return the soul to the sand sea.Touching her swollen face, she felt terrified: Why was she beaten again before returning to Shahai this time?Who is it that saves oneself?How did she know Yueniang?

The words "Your little lady" made Yun Bailu smirk, but the iron lady's cold iron bumps won't open up unless she pulls enough wind and throws it into a hot furnace to melt, and then uses [-]% of her strength to beat .

Yueniang is really a widow.His own crow's mouth caught Tuoba'an's misfortune, but this method of death was not counted.This group of people is really bold and crazy, and everyone's skills look even more vigorous and good at fighting.If it was a horse thief, who would beg them to save him?

Only Yueniang.Thinking of this, Yun Bailu uttered "Hiss...", Yue Niang was ruthless.She stretched out her thumb in the direction of the sand sea, "As expected of Yueniang."

When Yun Bailu rode his horse towards the sand sea, the county magistrate Xie Penglai was not waiting at the city gate to review the caravan.She gave Shahai King Zhao Yifang all the brochures of grain, grass, taxes, labor, business, taxation, criminal names, river workers, etc. in recent years.Then she sat across from her with her hands down and her head bowed, waiting for her immediate superior and the three-level pacifier to examine her practices over the years.

"These cases all happened outside Shahai City. They may be bandits or foreigners. The dead and injured were also from Beixia. Why do you want to write it down?" This is what Zhao Yifang wants to investigate. See Xie She was surprised that Penglai recorded all these things in detail.

"Shahai is located in a border fortress. In the past few years, it has always been the place where the Baosheng Army guarded the border. In recent years, it has been a place of discussion. The lower officials are in charge of this place, so naturally they can't just focus on the one-acre-three-point land in Shahai. Northern Xia people, Tibetans, Qiang people, and even Persian people need to be careful when they come and go." Xie Penglai answered eloquently, but he didn't seem to be able to satisfy King Jin.

Zhao Yifang personally poured her a cup of tea, "Master Xie, you don't have to be nervous, just treat it as a small talk." Xie Penglai's solemn official tone made her uncomfortable, "Master Xie, have you heard of Lu Jinhua? "

Xie Penglai looked into King Shangjin's eyes, "I have heard." She still stared sternly, "I also heard people talk about it. The first female general of the Baosheng Army is Bai Zhi, and the second is Lu Jinhua. It's a pity that she and Bai Zhi fought against each other. Afterwards, he fell ill and eventually died young."

"When I heard that the horse thief captured Man Pass, I remembered that this person was also from a horse thief." Zhao Yifang got bored talking about official business, and naturally put her hand on Xie Penglai's palm, "Master Xie, guess when Yun Bailu will come back?"

Xie Penglai shook his head, "The lower officials don't know either."

King Jin patted the back of his hand, "Master Xie, aren't you worried about your apprentice?"

Xie Penglai didn't know whether she should be worried about her apprentice or herself at this moment, she withdrew her hand, "I... I'm worried, but right now, please make a decision on how to find the person."

Zhao Yifang snorted inaudibly, "Then if I'm taken away, is Master Xie worried?"

"Naturally. The town governor is also the important task of the three states..." When Xie Penglai wanted to use Mandarin again, Zhao Yifang covered her mouth, and she warned with a smile, "Master Xie, I have a bad reputation in Beijing, and I was criticized by others." It is known in private as 'Tigress', do you know?"

Xie Penglai could only nod, and the soft palm on his mouth exuded fragrance.She blinked and thought it smelled like gardenia powder.

"Because what I like, others can't take it away. I will kick away everything that others stuffed in. Thank you, you are the person I like. Don't use those official words with me. I don't want to hear it." Zhao Yifang's hand was crushed Xie Penglai's blushing was hot, and she withdrew, "I guess, Yun Bailu will be back within half a day. Wherever you stay, you will have long nights and dreams, so it's more convenient to go back to Sand Sea."

Seeing Xie Penglai's dark pupils flicker with surprise, Zhao Yifang closed the booklet, "Come, accompany me to the handsome mansion."

"But...that's sealed."

"It won't be anymore soon." Zhao Yifang smiled, "I invited this house as my official residence in Shahai. In the future, the affairs of the three states will not come from Yanzhou, but will come from Shahai."
