The prince gave me a bamboo horse

The day before, I prepared the things to be used and put them in the carriage, and the next day I just led the horse and set off.

Ming Huaiyan wanted to see the inside through the wall of the car. This time, everyone except Wen Xingyuan rode horses, and the two cars behind were filled with supplies.

Join the caravan at the gate of the city and head for the Western Regions.

The leader of the caravan was a middle-aged man who was too fat. Wen Xingyuan lay on the window and looked at that man. He probably couldn't see his feet even if he lowered his head!

"Young master, isn't my hair neatly combed?" The man's name was Yang Youcai, and he looked like Maitreya Buddha when he smiled.

"It's neatly combed!" Wen Xingyuan was caught peeking at others.

Yang Youcai touched his big belly, "Young master is just looking at my belly, let me tell you, they won't come here with envy!"

"Hahaha" There were a few laughs from the team.

Yang Youcai was not angry either, "I was poor when I was young and had nothing to eat, so I just hoped that one day I could eat to my heart's content. Now that I have traveled all over the world, I can eat enough food in this world!" Patted his stomach, "This is proof, I go to my mother's grave every year Show her everything, her son is no longer hungry."

The atmosphere was a little silent. Yang Youcai was nearly 50 years old this year. More than 40 years ago, Dayan had a flood, then a plague, and then a severe drought. There was no harvest for several years. Yang Youcai was the one who would survive.

"However, being too fat is bad for your health!" Ning Nanbei said.

Yang Youcai laughed, "It's okay! You have to be willing!"

"Yes, when I get better, I want to eat all the delicious food in the world." Wen Xingyuan echoed.

Yang Youcai found a fellow friend, "Okay, I'll write down where there is delicious food to the young master."

"Well, then thank you very much!"

The atmosphere was high for a while, talking and laughing again.

A hundred miles away from Yanxi City is the Gobi Desert. Standing on a high place, you can see dots of tents in the distance, which are the Xiongnu.

Entering the Gobi Desert, the wind is very strong, and the stones in the distance and near have been blown out of various shapes by the wind for thousands of years.

Bunches of withered grass, rolling with the wind "That's it?"

"That's Sapon, a grass with strong vitality." Yang Youcai said.

"toot toot"

Someone knocked on the other side of the window, Wen Xingyuan opened it, and Ming Huaiyan held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, "This is beautiful, here it is."

"It's very beautiful!" Wen Xingyuan looked at it. The flowers had thorns, but Ming Huaiyan pulled them out one by one, and reached out to take them. "It's beautiful! I like it very much."

"Okay, it's windy, don't blow the wind all the time!" Wen Xingzhi came over to remind.

"Shut up!" Ming Huaiyan said, feeling very sad in his heart, since he arrived in Yanxi City that day, he has never been alone with her again.

Sitting in the carriage, listening to the sound of horseshoes outside, Wen Xingyuan tapped the petals, laughed, and then lay down on the table, "Brother Ayan!"

The Gobi Desert is vast, and a caravan of 60 to [-] people is as inconspicuous as a bunch of ants. In addition, the wind is strong and it is difficult to drive. In addition, the scenery on both sides is similar, and I don’t know how long it took.

"It's time for us to set up camp!" This time, Yang Youcai's bun was blown to one side, and he held his hair with one hand while greeting loudly.

"Where to camp?" Everyone's eyes were darkened, and they didn't know anything.

And Yang Youcai wandered around these places all the year round, "in front, there is a mountain in front, and there is a cave inside, you can stay in it for one night."

"it is good!"

After walking for a while, I finally saw the cave, led the supplies and the carriage, and a man with a strong hand went in and said, "It's safe."

Wen Xingzhi opened the door of the carriage, "Yuan'er, come down!"

He stretched out his arms to hug Wen Xingyuan, the people who entered first had already lit a fire inside, Ming Huaiyan took a cushion and put it away, Wen Xingzhi put Wen Xingyuan on it, "I stayed in the carriage for a day, is there any discomfort?"

"No!" Wen Xingyuan didn't want to sit, so he sat for a whole day today.

Yang Youcai came in after he settled down outside, "There are wolves in the Gobi Desert at night, so wake up!"

"Wolf!" Wen Xingyuan had never seen it before.

"Don't be afraid! We are here." Wen Xingzhi's men were stained with a lot of wolf blood.

Ming Huaiyan closed his mouth again, brother-in-law, you have said everything I wanted to say.

"Okay, let's drink some hot water!" Ning Nanbei and Sang Zhu had already set up a pot on the fire.

After eating, Yang Youcai arranged for the night watchmen, and came over, "You can rest assured, the ones who come back here are all veterans!"

"Haha, you just said wake up!" Wen Xingzhi added firewood.

Yang Youcai was embarrassed, "You can't let the nobles keep vigil!"

"Why not! I'll watch the night tonight." Ming Huaiyan said.No need to think about it, Wen Xingyuan also knew what his plan was.

"No need! I'll just come!" Wen Xingzhi said quickly, it's unreasonable for the current prince to keep watch at night, and then a group of courtiers and ordinary people sleep.

"Yes, Your Highness, let me come!" Ning Nanbei said.

Disappointed, Ming Huaiyan sighed, "Okay! I'll come tomorrow!"

"Okay, that's it."

The entrance of the cave was leeward, so they put the carts and horses with the supplies there, and guarded the surroundings in groups of two, while Wen Xingzhi sat at the entrance of the cave, taking care of both the inside and the outside.

Chang Sheng spread out the thick blanket, "My lord, you can rest now."

Ming Huaiyan sat beside him inadvertently, and watched Wen Xingyuan lie down, his breathing gradually stabilized, only the whistling sound from outside remained, and then he carefully looked at Wen Xingyuan's sleeping face.

The next day, Wen Xingzhi kept watch at night, and got into the carriage to catch up on sleep.

Another night, Ming Huaiyan finally took care of the night watch, and finally got into Wen Xingyuan's carriage during the day.

"Yuan'er, I miss you so much!" I was about to cry, the double torture of body and mind.

"Go to sleep! You haven't rested all night!" Wen Xingyuan shook off the blanket and covered Ming Huaiyan with it.

"I don't want to sleep, I need Yuan'er to kiss me to sleep!"

Wen Xingyuan: ..., reached out and touched Ming Huaiyan's forehead, "I don't have a fever! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Yuan'er!" Not taking it for himself, Ming Huaiyan finally got his wish and kissed her lips after thinking about it for several days and nights.

Wen Xingyuan blushed, "Go to sleep, don't be discovered by them!"

"Yuan'er!" Ming Huaiyan was not reconciled.

Wen Xingyuan had nothing to do with him, "I owe you first!"

"What did you say?" Ming Huaiyan repeatedly confirmed.

Wen Xingyuan nodded, "Yes!"

Ming Huaiyan thought of something, leaned close to Wen Xingyuan's ear and murmured a few words, Wen Xingyuan blushed so much that he could bleed, "Yuan'er, you have to admit it."

Why didn't I think Ming Huaiyan was such a shameless person before, "Are you going to sleep or not? Go out if you don't sleep!"

Angry!Ming Huaiyan accepts it when he sees it is good, anyway, he has made up his mind, after this matter is over, he will take it all back, hmph!

After a few more days and nights, I didn't meet the wolf Yang Youcai mentioned, and I also saw new plants.

"That's Populus euphratica, licorice, camel thorn, and red willow," Yang Youcai introduced to everyone. "Those trees are the life trees of the Gobi and desert!"

"Indeed, the environment is so difficult, but it can grow, and life is lamentable!" Wen Xingzhi covered his face with a face scarf to avoid being hurt by the wind.

Suddenly, a young guy with his tail dropped behind him rode a horse and caught up with him, "Master, there are wolves."

"What?" Everyone turned their heads, and they saw a wolf standing on the hillside in the distance.

"Only one?" Changsheng wondered.

Yang Youcai's face was heavy, "This is a spy sent by the wolves."

Sure enough, the wolf howled up to the sky and disappeared.

"Speed ​​up, get out of here as soon as possible!" Yang Youcai greeted back and forth as he rode his horse.

The horse may also feel the rising crisis and run faster.

Wen Xingyuan fixed the teapot on the table. He was a little worried. He was bored the past few days. After reading some miscellaneous notes, he happened to see a description of wolves. The wolves have a clear division of labor. Once the target is confirmed, they will not give up. I hope the wolf group this wolf belongs to Less, or I'm afraid it will be a fierce battle.
