Hu Tiehua was so drunk that he ran forward in a daze, and when he sobered up, his mind would be sober-the desert is not a place where you can just wander around, and they are going to ride a horse like them alone. Those who are going to rush in are looking for death through and through.
"It's as hot as a stove during the day, and as cold as an icehouse at night. Sand is everywhere, and the sky is connected to the ground, and the sky is connected to the sky. I can't tell the direction." He described the desert to Chu Liuxiang vividly. Dangerous, "We can't understand what the shepherds are saying in the desert. If we get lost, we will be so miserable every day. If we don't go around twice, we will die of thirst in the desert."
Chu Liuxiang was originally a very calm person, but this time he seemed to be in a daze, rushing around recklessly.
Zhong Yanqiu has never been to the big desert here, at most he has only walked around the periphery once, but he has never entered the deep place.
They need guides, they need supplies, they need camels, they need many, many things that they are not prepared for.
Except for Hu Tiehua, Chu Liuxiang and Zhong Yanqiu were not short of money, they only lacked a way to buy things, and it happened that Hu Tiehua said that an old friend of theirs happened to make a fortune in the desert, and the business was very big.
So they went to Lanzhou.
Lanzhou is the most affluent and prosperous city in the Northwest. Most of the wealthy businessmen and tycoons in the Northwest gather here. The most important thing here is the rich. Wealth has become a growing and boring number, but if wealth accumulation To a certain extent, it will also be admired by everyone.
For example Ji Bingyan.
Ji Bingyan does not have a specific business. In Lanzhou City, there are people who sell medicinal materials, some who sell food, and some who sell leather goods, but he has to get involved in everything. As long as it is a profitable business, there is no Ji Bingyan who does not do it. .
That's why some people said that for every ten taels of silver earned in Lanzhou City, two taels fell into the pockets of Ji Da merchants.
And any rich businessman must have an unimaginably huge intelligence network, so when Zhong Yanqiu and the three stepped into Lanzhou City, someone welcomed them to Ji Bingyan's mansion.
What kind of man is Ji Bingyan? He has a shrewd mind and a smooth wrist. He is so stingy that Hu Tiehua will call him an iron rooster. He is more of a businessman than a Jianghu person, and he is a typical profiteer who seeks profit and is stingy. To put it simply It's not someone who makes people feel good at first sight.
But Zhong Yanqiu felt that this man was really interesting.
He still felt the same way when he got into Ji Bingyan's huge coffin-like carriage.
A person who has experienced boundless suffering in the desert, but is willing to give up his wealth for his friends, Ruan Yuwen Xiang endures the endless fear in his heart, and then enters the tiger's mouth. He really rarely sees such a person.
Zhong Yanqiu knew from the first time he met him that he had made up his mind to live and die with those two old friends.
"Where are you going?" Ji Bingyan asked.
There are many entrances into the desert, and only when you know where your destination is, can you plan the best route.
After all, supplies are limited.
Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly: "I don't know either."
Indeed, the note only said to ask him to bring Zhong Yanqiu to the desert, but it didn't say where they were going at all.
"I don't know?" Ji Bingyan raised her eyebrows high, "The desert is so big, aren't you going to circle around in it?"
The edges and corners of his face are sharp, and he looks arrogant and cold when he is not speaking. Sometimes you would rather let him say a few more words than see his mocking smile.
"Maybe that's what the person who wrote me the note thought." Chu Liuxiang sighed, "There's nothing left, as if I'm sure I can find a place."
Zhong Yanqiu opened the small window on the carriage to look, and said, "Go east."
Hearing this, Ji Bingyan took a deep look at him, and gave instructions to the coachman through the door, and the coachman yelled and directed the carriage to turn.
"That's why I said, it's useless if you don't take me with you." Zhong Yanqiu said calmly, the other party was not sure that Chu Liuxiang could find the place, but that he could find the place.
By the way, he was sure that he would soften his heart towards women and children, as long as Chu Liuxiang begged him, he would definitely not sit idly by.
"Who is that...?" Chu Liuxiang frowned. Neither he nor Mr. Zhong should theoretically have any conflicts with the forces of the Great Desert, even though he picked up at sea a few days ago. The body of Jamuka, the king, was right, but before he started to investigate Wuhua's theft of Tianyi Shenshui, he was stabbed out. Jamuka died of the poison of Tianyi Shenshui.
No matter how unbelievable he is, all the evidence has nailed Wu Hua to the position of the culprit.
At most, he only had a relationship with Zamuhe's daughter Heizhu once, but without saying a word, Heizhu took a whip and led others to chase and kill Wuhua aggressively.
This is the only connection he has with the Great Desert.
"Wuhua?" Zhong Yanqiu repeated the name several times.
"That's right, Wuhua." Chu Liuxiang's expression was quite complicated, "Once what happened this time, there is no place for him in the Central Plains martial arts, and I don't know where he hid..." He suddenly reacted, The expression on his face was even more complicated, "He—"
Up to now, Wuhua still has the image of that noble monk in his heart, and he can't imagine that the other party will do such a thing.
"Know people, know face, but not heart." Zhong Yanqiu supported his chin with one hand and played with the pendant on his sleeve with the other, "It's only at this time that I feel that it's a good thing that I see too clearly."
Ji Bingyan's brows moved slightly, and in an instant he returned to his plain look. Even if he ran to become a businessman, his underlings always kept an eye on every move in the arena. Right now, it's just another verification of Mr. Zhong That's just a magical method.
Hu Tiehua has stayed in the small town in the northwest for more than three years. He doesn't ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes. Naturally, he doesn't know any rumors about Wuhua, Mr. Zhong, etc., but he can also see that the atmosphere is not right, so he hurriedly made jokes hahahaha He took out the wine, "Why are you talking about those bad things, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge, come and drink!"
Ji Bingyan's carriage was filled with fine wines and delicacies from all over the place, filling the dark compartment to the brim. Although the carriage was driving fast, the interior of the carriage did not appear to be bumpy at all. The wine glass on the small table was almost full, but Not a drop leaked out.
"Drink!" Ji Bingyan raised his glass, "Don't think about anything after drinking, get a good sleep, and never waste any energy from now on."
The brocade couch on the carriage was big enough for four people to lie side by side and sleep comfortably.
Chu Liuxiang muttered, recalling those old-fashioned stories, talking about his teacher, and talking about her own teacher.
He hadn't mentioned these things for a long time.
When he mentioned his master, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua subconsciously looked at Zhong Yanqiu who was lying on the side, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Old old old bug!" Hu Tiehua yelled, "Did you tell him about this?!"
He pointed at Zhong Yanqiu, thinking that if the carriage hadn't had a roof, he might have been so frightened that he would have jumped into the sky.
"I didn't say it." Chu Liuxiang turned over and looked at Zhong Yanqiu curiously, "How did you know my master's heritage that day?"
He looked at Zhong Yanqiu, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan also looked at Zhong Yanqiu, but Zhong Yanqiu lay there with his eyes closed as if he didn't notice anything, with his hands crossed on his lower abdomen, his chest heaving and falling.
He fell asleep.
The three of Chu Liuxiang looked at each other in dismay, and after a while, they each lay down, and they forced themselves to fall asleep with all their thoughts.
Noticing that the breaths of the three people around him were gradually calming down, Zhong Yanqiu opened his eyes, gently pushed open the carriage door and walked out.
His movements were very light, so silent that the three sleeping people inside didn't notice anything, but the driver outside was startled, so he touched the scimitar hanging at his waist reflexively, and then took a closer look. Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "I thought there was a carjacking, sir, you scared me to death."
The chauffeur driver was called Xiao Pan, who was born with a round baby face, and seemed to be in his early twenties, but it was just a look.
Zhong Yanqiu sat on the shaft of the car, "Turn west ahead."
"Come on!" Xiao Pan raised his hand and flicked his whip, and the horse turned around and ran west.
The camels brought by Ji Bingyan followed the carriage, and a tall man led the camels. Zhong Yanqiu remembered that Ji Bingyan introduced him as a stone camel, and he was in charge of these camels and horses.
The stone camel didn't ride a horse or a camel, he only relied on his own feet to follow, the carriage ran very fast, but he didn't fall behind at all, and kept following the carriage.
"The stone camel was brought back by the master from the desert." Seeing Zhong Yanqiu looking at the stone camel, Xiao Pan explained with a smile, "I don't know who I offended and was made deaf, dumb and blind, but don't look at him like this, It is more useful in the desert than ten people who are neither deaf nor dumb nor blind."
Speaking of the latter, a somewhat proud look appeared on his face.
"I know." Zhong Yanqiu said, still looking at the stone camel, "Animals are much more sensitive than humans."
The stone camel gives Zhong Yanqiu the feeling that it is infinitely close to a cow and a horse. It is not the appearance, but the thinking. The human mind is in motion all the time. Even if the brain is emptied, the subconscious mind is still thinking non-stop, so even Even if the "switch" is not turned on, Zhong Yanqiu can perceive enough information, but cows, horses and animals are different. Their thinking is more slow or even without ups and downs. They don't have as many things to think about as humans, so Under normal circumstances, Zhong Yanqiu can't "see" anything, at most he can vaguely perceive certain mood swings.
Zhong Yanqiu handed a bag of water to the stone camel.
He "saw" the stone camel feeling thirsty.
I don't know why his relationship with animals has always been very good, and all kinds of animals are very happy to get close to him.
Although the stone camel couldn't see it, it accurately took the water that Zhong Yanqiu handed over.
The uneven face like dried orange peel was inexplicably soft, and the gray eyeballs seemed to be slightly bright.
But in an instant that softness disappeared again.
He regained that icy, stone-like look, and walked away with his head buried.
"It's as hot as a stove during the day, and as cold as an icehouse at night. Sand is everywhere, and the sky is connected to the ground, and the sky is connected to the sky. I can't tell the direction." He described the desert to Chu Liuxiang vividly. Dangerous, "We can't understand what the shepherds are saying in the desert.
