Fangro

Before dawn the next day, He Xingyuan's carriage stirred up the cold sandy soil. Zhang Shuyu didn't say goodbye to Jiang Han, but left quietly on the table in the guest room, "Treasure".

It's just that with his ordinary eyesight, he couldn't see clearly. On the roof of the highest place in Xuanquanzhi lay a man holding a long knife.

Counting nine in the morning and night, and three volts in the middle of the day are just the portrayal of a day in the desert. If there were no war and oppression, the golden sand dunes and the boundless world would be a magnificent picture. Unfortunately, half of the people in the caravan have no intention of watching.

The entourage sent by Ying Shaoqiu to pretend to be footmen and coachmen seemed to be working with their heads down, but their eyes were alert and their ears were listening, and they never let go of their guards all the way. The upper field of vision is empty, if someone can see it from a distance, they will not be so lucky at night.

In the afternoon, the air above the sand was distorted faintly, as if an invisible fire was burning, the dripping hot sweat profusely dried, and a layer of salt frost appeared on Zhang Shuyu's back. He was so hot that he felt dizzy, I don't know if it's because I'm tired or I'm suffering from heat stroke, but my heart is pounding, and I always feel that there's something waiting ahead.

The caravan came to the canyon smoothly. There are dry hills and sparse vegetation here, but there are countless natural stone forests. Before Zhang Shuyu set off, he told a man to come here and secretly prick the horse's ass with sea buckthorn, and then, as he expected, he went crazy. The ground horse galloped wildly on the narrow road with the truck, which soon caused a chaos.

Taking advantage of this accident, old master Zhao Rongqing quietly withdrew.

This is the last section of Dayan West Road. Passing through the canyon and the red willow grove in front of the Gobi, it is the vast mountain of Longxi.The Longxi people with a strong sense of territory set up a sentry every ten miles, and when they got there, the unknown followers behind them would not dare to be so unscrupulous.

It's just that the caravan has long been surrounded by people, and even the wind and grass can't escape the discerning eye. Zhao Rongqing, who turned his back on the team, hid behind a stone pillar three miles away panting, followed by a long sword that quenched the cold and quietly placed it on him. above the neck.

"Why did you run away alone?"

Zhao Rongqing's eyes suddenly turned into copper bells. He couldn't see the masked man in black behind him, but he recognized the voice, which was so familiar that it still rang in his ears yesterday.

On the other side, the canyon is suitable for escape, and naturally it is also suitable for ambushes.

As dusk fell, a large group of men in black gradually appeared, and panic spread in the caravan in an instant.The leader made it clear what he came for: "Hand over what Shaoqiu entrusted, and you will live."

The unsuspecting fellows behind him asked blankly who Ying Shaoqiu was and what it was, but the soldiers assigned by Ying Shaoqiu all moved towards Zhang Shuyu in unison, and quickly formed a circle to protect him inside.

Zhang Shuyu was worried all the way, but at this moment he calmed down strangely, maybe he gave up the hope of life, and he was no longer afraid of death, he bargained as usual: "I can give you something, but I have Conditions, let my buddy go first."

The man who looked like the leader of the assassin returned him with a sneer, as if laughing at his naivety: "No, who knows who the general Ying letter is at the moment? You hand in the letter first, and I will release him later."

"They really don't know anything, otherwise who would abandon their wives and children to follow me this trip, you don't believe me, and I don't believe you either," Zhang Shuyu closed her eyes, and said simply, "Using the experience of our dental practice to Look, this deal can't be negotiated, so do it."

The killer didn't expect that there would be people who would dislike longevity, so he couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "The head of the family is really brave, but what's the point of your persistence? We kill you, and Ying Shaoqiu's secret letter can't be sent out either. Since So, why risk your life in vain?"

If you don't send him away, your life will not be guaranteed, but you have to choose one of the two ways to die, and Zhang Shuyu chooses to accept Ying Shaoqiu's commission.He doesn't have such great ambitions and feelings as the rise and fall of the country and the responsibility of everyone, but based on his vision and personal likes and dislikes, he feels that Ying Shaoqiu has at least been honest with each other.

Zhang Shuyu limped to the front of the caravan, and said indifferently: "There is an old saying in our market, 'the feet and teeth of a car and boat shop should be killed if they are innocent', which means treachery, cheating people, and dishonesty. Among them, our tooth dealer I am at the top of the list, so please forgive me for your promise, so I dare not believe it."

"If you want to kill us, you have a lot of opportunities along the way, but the reason why you didn't do it, and you are even willing to waste your time here, I guess is because the value of getting that letter is higher than letting it disappear here. So I hide things Now, if I don’t tell you, you won’t be able to find it if you dig three feet, if you want to believe it, let my buddy go.”

This businessman has a clear mind, and he was able to guess almost exactly. The lord really needs that letter to forge evidence of collaborating with the enemy and treason to overthrow Ying Shaoqiu, who is standing in the way. Whispered a few words, turned around and agreed, anyway, these people are also under control.

The real man cried and bid farewell to Zhang Shuyu, but the fake man sent by Ying Shaoqiu refused to leave. In fact, Zhang Shuyu knew in his heart that it was a matter of court secrets. He still wanted to struggle a bit, hoping that someone would be a blessing to the sky, and at the worst, he would not die in front of him.

This is already what he can do, to preserve it to the greatest extent, at least those who are still in the dental clinic are still alive.

Ying Shaoqiu may not be a bad person, but his soldiers are loyal. In front of Zhang Shuyu, he made a promise to the general. They killed the ordinary people in the tooth shop. They immediately committed suicide and apologized. Westbound.

Zhang Shuyu doesn't kill Boren, but Boren will die because of him, but he is also innocent, and his death is coming soon, so the person who should be blamed is Ying Shaoqiu, but Ying Shaoqiu is to protect the frontier and protect the land behind the front line The common people, who should General Jingbei blame?

After a stick of incense, the guys had disappeared. The leader of the assassins forced Zhang Shuyu to hand over the letter, but Shaoqiu's subordinates naturally refused. The killing was imminent, and the chaos was full of blood and sword light.Ying Shaoqiu's troops had been cut in half in Mount Meng, and even if they resisted stubbornly here, they could not last long and fell down one by one.

The lame man stumbled more than ordinary people when he ran. Zhang Shuyu finally came to the end of the road. The moment the long sword passed his chest, he saw the shock in the killer's only eyes. The killer had no intention of killing him at the moment, but the sword had no eyes. .

The dentist had to die, but after receiving the letter, the leader of the assassins was so angry that he kicked the accomplice of the bad thing a foot away, and the situation was reversed instantly, from massacre to life-saving.

Zhang Shuyu quickly fell into a coma, and the killers had to take him back to the post to seek a doctor, but finding a doctor in this vast desert is like a blind cat killing a mouse. Obviously, neither Zhang Shuyu nor the assassin had this luck, and the swords pierced each other Heart and lungs, only the killer's hemostatic powder hangs his life, Zhang Shuyu's high fever persists, and his face darkens moment by moment.

At the third quarter of the ugly hour, when everything was silent, Zhang Shuyu was awakened by thirst in a daze. The killer who came to hold his head and feed him water moved gently. He covered his face, but his eyes were very familiar.

Zhang Shuyu was shocked by this accident, and even woke up from the high fever. Last night, the unintentional sentence "Jiang Han is very suspicious" suddenly flashed through his mind. Zhang Shuyu had an urge to laugh, but he didn't carry it out. Strength, he didn't expect that he was actually a crow's mouth.

Thinking that he was cautious all his life, and the nature of a businessman prevented him from trusting people casually, but he never expected that the last friend he made in this world was really a mistake.

Fortunately, Zhang Shuyu was extremely weak, and his mind was so slow that disappointment was not as strong as longing. He suddenly grabbed the water feeder's wrist with strength he didn't know where he came from, and made an indistinct sound of air currents.

"...Jiang Han, before yesterday, for the sake of our friends... cough cough... friends, tell me the truth, are Uncle Zhao and those guys... still alive?"

In order to hear what he was saying, the masked man had to lower his head, but at this close distance, tears suddenly appeared in those exposed eyes, and he would suffer because he was Jiang Han.

Yesterday Jiang Han felt that it was a pity, but now he really tasted the feeling of faceless when he saw Zhang Shuyu who was dying. He looked at the dentist's eyes that were on the verge of laxity, and couldn't help but nodded to this person.

Then Jiang Han seemed to want to say something, but when he glanced sideways, he found that the accomplice who was dozing on the chair seemed to be waking up, so he had to close his opened mouth suddenly, and when he spoke again, his voice seemed Very cold: "Where is the letter? Where did you put it?"

The fishy sweetness in his throat made Zhang Shuyu always want to vomit. It was difficult for him to speak, but he couldn't hide his arrogance. He said intermittently: "If you want to know, ask someone else. No... I don't want to tell you."

Jiang Han's eyes were very hurt. His hand holding the back of Zhang Shuyu's head was still gentle, but his tone was cold and hard, and he opened his mouth to cheat: "Actually, it doesn't make much sense to ask you. Your Uncle Zhao is not strong enough, and he has already explained everything. gone."

Zhang Shuyu's heart tightened suddenly, his eyes darkened in pain, and he vomited a puddle of blood in a fit of anger, sharp grief and resentment emerged from his expression immediately.

"You have achieved your goal. If you want to show off, then I will give you a congratulations... As for me, I have done my best whether it is to protect the person or deliver the letter. In heaven, who am I to... ...everyone has a clear conscience."

"Is it worth it?" Jiang Han said with burning eyes, "Why did you do this for a bullshit general who used a knife to force you to die? What benefits did he give you? We could have given it twice .”

It’s not worth it, Zhang Shuyu said in his heart, this is not the path he chose actively, so it’s not worth mentioning and giving. He respects Ying Shaoqiu as a hero, but he also hates the power of General Jingbei, until he heard Jiang Han’s words, Zhang Shuyu Shu Yu suddenly realized that he wanted to say something nice for Ying Shaoqiu.

He sneered and said: "Ying Shaoqiu used a knife to force me to die, I live... now, you keep telling me not to take my life... life for nothing, but I am about to die. Facing two nests of robbers, I Naturally...cough...obey the one that can make me live longer...As for the double benefits, Ying Shaoqiu gave me a kowtow, your master, hahahaha...he, he is willing to kowtow Two?"

Jiang Han froze for a moment, he didn't know if he didn't expect Ying Shaoqiu to kneel to the common people, or he couldn't answer the question of whether the master would kneel, he asked in a daze: "...then, do you hate Ying Shaoqiu? ?”

Zhang Shuyu's aura gradually weakened, he smiled, his eyelids drooped as if he was extremely tired, and there was a hint of hunger and sarcasm on his pale face: "Hate, although...cough cough...hate is nothing..."

Jiang Han's heart was full of alarm bells, and at that moment, without thinking, he put his lips next to Zhang Shuyu's ear, and poured a burst of quick words that were as light as a breeze into the man's ear.

"Yunqing, I... I am Ying Shaoqiu's junior brother. I joined this group of assassins to save you. I'm sorry, I didn't keep you. When the world is peaceful, I will pay for your life on behalf of senior brother. Uncle Zhao is still alive. I have a little injury, I have settled it, don't worry about him, as for the brother's request for help, it is no longer needed, just... just stay here with you."

"Now I'll answer your original question, why did I ask you to deliver the letter, because Bilan Amin is the boy Alan you rescued from the black bear's paw in Ruoqiang Mountain seven years ago..."

Zhang Shuyu was shocked all over, he choked up blood, but didn't cough out a sound.

Time was running out, Jiang Han didn't have time to get up and look at him, and then quickly whispered: "I saw your portrait in his meeting cabinet, it was hung next to the wolf totem of his clan, I asked Bilan who was in the portrait , he said he was his benefactor."

"Your weights and measures are unique, and the business name on the portrait is exactly the same as 'He Xing Yuan'. When I saw you in Yuanling City, I knew that Bilan Amin would agree to reinforce you only if you delivered the letter."

At this moment, Jiang Han thought of the person who held his wrist in the sunset and said, "Thank you Brother Jiang for your hard work", and suddenly lost the courage to continue. He lost his mind, and accidentally asked the words in his heart: "Are you unintentional?" The person you saved made you fall into a scheme and lost your life, if you had known this, Yun Qing, would you...would you still save him?"

This is a despicable but best of both worlds. If Zhang Shuyu can send the letter to Longxi alive, everyone will be happy, but if he dies on the way, Bilan Amin, who has a clear love and hatred, will not let him go. The manipulator behind the scenes, so no matter what kind of development, there will only be one ending, and Longxi's reinforcements will inevitably come.

The air suddenly became silent, Jiang Han propped up his upper body in pain, and accidentally knocked off the businessman's weights and measures, Jiang Han tried his breath with trembling fingers, tears welled up in his eyes, and the assassin who was awakened by the sound of the abacus falling to the ground came over to check Before, melted into the mask and disappeared.

The back of the weights and measures that fell on the ground was facing upwards, and two words were lightly engraved on the corners. Just like the weapons of the Jianghu people all have names, Yalang Zhang Shuyu's abacus also has a name.

Drink the year, drink the year, drink the time like passing water.
