Chapter 223 Seeing Starlight Again 4
This ambiguous and sweet gesture actually made Yinsuo very shy, only because Jinling couldn't see her face, he didn't jump out of the car immediately.But then she thought again: I don't know how many times my teacher and sister have been so close along the way, and this time I don't have any dirty thoughts in my heart, I just borrow a place to put it, why should I be ashamed?
It's okay not to mention dirty thoughts, but when she mentions it, she can't help thinking about it, but with Jin Ling, such thoughts can't be dispelled no matter what, so she can only stagnate and ferment in her heart, waiting for the next "time has come" Time to run to the distance to disperse.
Hearing the wind outside, the convoy was not slow, a horse approached, Jin Ling thought that someone was looking for the silver lock, so she pushed her.Sure enough, Helian's voice sounded: "Yingyue, while we were waiting for you, we had already received a report that the leader had encountered some troubles in Chang'an, and someone arrested him with great fanfare. After a fierce battle, he was arrested and had to hand over All fakes."
"Is Master okay?"
"The leader has great powers. It doesn't seem to be a big deal. It's just that it happened seven days ago. I'm afraid the people chasing us are already on their way. So we have to hurry up."
Yinsuo said: "We have to work hard on these horses. Let's run faster. As long as we cross the Yellow River in the cold weather and go to the racecourse in Helan Mountain, we will be half safe after changing horses."
"That's right, that's all there is to it."
"Oh, by the way," Yinsuo raised his eyes and said to Helian, "Where's that little brother from the Zhu family?"
Helian said: "It doesn't matter, throw it on the side of the road."
Yinsuo didn't know whether to laugh or not, and said, "You actually let him off like this?"
Helian said: "Isn't that something from his family? I didn't have time to estimate the price and buy it from him, so I had to return it to him. It seems that we haven't paid for something we borrowed from others."
Yinsuo nodded and said, "Well, that's the reason. I lost two boxes of gold, and my heart aches."
Helian laughed and said, "There are some in these boxes, otherwise, why would it be so heavy? I wonder why you want us to bring gold, it's a drag."
Yinsuo said: "I guess we have made such a big commotion and we are going to leave the customs again. There must be more than one person chasing us. Then you will know what's the use."
He Lian also smiled and said: "You have the most ideas, so I will listen to you this time. You can rest."
Yinsuo wondered: "What about you? I heard that you fell into the water too?"
Helian said angrily, "Who told you that?"
Although his expression was fierce, it was a pity that his power was greatly reduced, and he even sneezed, so he could only say: "Yeah, I was not looking for you, who knows that there is nothing underneath, and was hit by a stone. I will go to the hay cart later sleep."
"Oh, you go, we are asleep too."
She said "we" very smoothly, Jin Ling's heart was shocked for some reason, and she began to hope that she would stop talking to Helian and come back to lie down with herself.
Yinsuo didn't keep her waiting, and came back quickly to continue hugging her.
Jin Ling didn't feel sleepy, and asked casually, "What's on this car?"
Yinsuo said: "Supplies such as clothes. Senior sister has never taken anyone far away, has she?"
Jin Ling nodded and said: "I have fought a few battles as a leader, but I only know the number of supplies and have never asked about the details."
Yinsuo clapped his palms and said, "That's easy to say. With so many people traveling across five thousand miles, any accident may happen, so we must be prepared for replacement equipment and extra weapons. We will travel lightly, But the boots and clothes will inevitably be damaged. After entering the hinterland of the desert, the night is cold and the day is hot, and the warm clothes are also in this car. There are also tents and sleeping bags for sleeping at night, blankets for covering, cooking pots, and eating bowls. They're all in this cart. The cart where Helian sleeps should be filled with horse hay and dry food, but there must be a few boxes of jewelry mixed in."
She took off her robe and covered the two of them, and suddenly took out a small knife from somewhere in the robe, and said: "I don't know if this knife is real or fake..."
Jin Ling took the saber, examined it carefully against the light, and said: "I can't say... This small saber is only ordinary high-grade in terms of appearance, maybe even inferior to Beifeng and your scimitar..."
But Yinsuo said: "You know I'm used to seeing good things since I was a child, but the workmanship of this dagger and scabbard is made by top craftsmen. I scolded a great craftsman like Ali and kept it in the middle of his secret collection. It's like the stars guarding it. Why should an ordinary thing be decorated with such gorgeous and exquisite patterns?"
Jin Ling cautiously kept her mouth shut, staring at the scabbard.
Yinsuo muttered to himself, and said: "However, there are some arty nouveau riche in the world who like to decorate ordinary swords with gorgeous patterns to show how rich they are. I have seen such people..."
Jin Ling said: "The color of this dagger's outer decoration is subtle, and the pattern is not ostentatious. If it is purely for showing off wealth, it can be said to be a bit of a failure."
Yinsuo said: "Don't think about it. At most, I will take it back and make it a collection for Master Kang. Go to sleep. If it's later, the sun will be in the sky, and it will be uncomfortable to sleep."
Jin Ling closed her eyes as she said.
The carriage was made of wooden boards, with air leaking from all sides, although the blanket was thick, it was still breathable, only the silver lock was warm from head to toe, Jinling leaned against her not-so-strong body, she felt safe and secure, and slept soundly be on guard.
I don't know how long it took, but she suddenly felt a little cold. She rubbed back in a daze, but she didn't hit anything. She called "Silver Lock" vaguely, and leaned back again.
Immediately, a warm embrace answered the call and caught her, and Yinsuo's sweet voice echoed softly in her ear: "Elder Sister, why are you awake?"
Jin Ling didn't bother to open her eyes, and whispered: "It's nothing... I dreamed that you disappeared, and I was a little worried. Isn't the hour up yet?"
Yinsuo shook his head and hummed twice, and said: "There is still a while, you continue to sleep."
Jin Ling hummed twice, covered her eyes with a black facecloth, and fell asleep.
In fact, the hour had already arrived, Yinsuo quietly tortured himself restlessly for a while, then climbed out of the carriage, used the excuse of exercising his muscles, rode around the convoy, and quickly returned to the carriage.Unexpectedly, Jin Ling, who was afraid of the cold, woke up after just a short while. Fortunately, Yinsuo comforted her in time and allowed her to continue to sleep peacefully.
The red sand stretches for thousands of miles and is very difficult to walk. In the afternoon, the team entered an area mixed with sand and gravel, and the speed was only slightly increased.
Seeing Yinsuo approaching, a disciple immediately reported: "Tell the right envoy, we have crossed the sand dunes and reached the white ground. After two days, we will reach the Yellow River and cross the river according to the original plan."
Yinsuo nodded, raised his head and covered his eyes to look at the sky. The sun in the sky was not dazzling, but was covered by thin clouds, looking pale and faintly emitting white light.The north wind blew non-stop, blowing away water and heat, and made everything that could move or not move whine.
The place where the sky and the earth meet in the north is already a blur, and if you step back, you can barely see the reddish-yellow sand and dark brown short trees.The clouds in the sky are no longer white, but gray as dull as lead.
"Young master, fearing that the weather will be bad, do you want to order to advance at full speed?"
Yinsuo said: "Not busy, is there someone on the west bank of the Yellow River to meet you?"
The disciple was a petite girl, with a thick leather glove on her left hand, and a pair of black eyes that were very lively. Hearing her question, he replied: "There is no news from the outpost ahead. If there is still no news tonight , that is, there is a change ahead.”
Yinsuo frowned, and said, "If Helan Mountain changes, we have no choice but to go north."
The girl said: "Young master, don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yinsuo sighed and said, "I hope so."
In the evening, leaden gray clouds were already pressing overhead, and the sky was pressed into a narrow strip by dark clouds and sand dunes, gradually disappearing in the extreme south.
There are huge gullies on the ground, which are buried by yellow sand that has accumulated for an unknown number of years, and only some low shrubs grow on them.Blown by the perennial wind, these shrubs are all tilted to one side, as if an invisible hand has bent them into this posture.
At first glance, there was no living creature on the ground except them, but there were two eagles in the sky, gliding by the wind from a very far away place, circling a few times, then lost interest, and flew into the distance again, one of them suddenly It stalled and descended, swooped down at an extremely fast speed, and rose into the air after a while, with something already caught on a pair of sharp claws.
Helian also woke up early, and has been skimming at the end of the line, Yinsuo slowly approached, and said: "Hui Ri, how much do you think this truck can sell for?"
Helian thought for a while and said, "Two to three hundred thousand gold is always okay, right?"
Yinsuo said, "Although two to three million gold is not a small sum, it is worth our troubles? We are making money at the risk of exposing the rudders of various places..."
Helian's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said, "Are you doubting the leader?"
Yinsuo smiled and said, "Why are you nervous? Anyway, he is also my master. I am just a pawn at work. Even if I disagree, I can't stop this machine. It's just that I always feel that Master still has something to do. Didn't tell us. Maybe he had other plans, but didn't tell us."
Helian said: "He didn't even tell you?"
Yinsuo pouted and said, "Of course, he even told me about the Great Xia Longque through the mouths of Banner Kang, Yun Han and A Man."
Helian said: "Don't think too much, isn't the leader always like this?"
Yinsuo said: "But this time is unusual. I always feel that something terrible is about to happen. We need to be very careful along the way. Maybe even Master underestimated the danger of this operation."
Helian asked suspiciously: "How else can you be careful? I have placed people ten miles away in the four directions of east, west, north and south. This place is flat and barren. We will know early on if there is any trouble, so what danger can there be?"
Yinsuo narrowed his eyes and said, "In the fifty miles near the Yellow River, the sand dunes have turned into earth mounds. Like the mountains in the east, they are all roads plowed out of windy loess. It's too easy to lay an ambush there. With so few of us, when the time comes It is necessary to shrink the formation and be easy to be taken advantage of."
Helian frowned and said, "Then what should I do?"
