Chapter 271
While Cheng Chusi was filling his stomach with ice-cold sour plum soup with a grimace on his face, Li Anran packed up the five war horses that had been draped into chariots, as well as the unfinished dishes and some things that he didn't need to take with him.
Packed it up and sent it back to Xiaoyao Villa.
In the villa, Li Anran discovered that there was a lot of property in the sacks on these five war horses. And they were obviously not from the same batch. In addition, the five people had previously killed people if they disagreed, so it didn't take much thinking.
It is known that the origin of this property is unknown.
I originally thought it was a bit cruel to use five living people to test my new abilities, but when I thought that the other party had probably just robbed more innocent people, and might even have killed and silenced them, my heart suddenly changed.
Feel at ease.
As for these five war horses, although they are not considered to be the best horses, they are still better than the ordinary horses on the market. Even if Li Anran does not use them, they are still his trophies, so he must take good care of them.
Take it down.
After Li Anran had taken care of the five horses, he returned to the previous battlefield. No, it should be a resting place. At this time, Cheng Chusi had already poured the remaining bucket of iced sour plum soup into his stomach.
, and his face finally looked much better.
"Cheng Huyuan, I'm not telling you, it's just a few corpses. Do they deserve such a big reaction from you?" Li Anran, who took the time to take a shower and change into dry clothes when they were at the villa, suppressed a smile and said,
said.
"Uh..." Cheng Chusi wanted to say, "Why didn't you just pick up the corpses?" When he thought of the disgustingness of the five corpses, he suddenly felt sour in his chest and abdomen, and he spoke decisively.
The ground swallowed it back.
"Haha...just a joke." Looking at the other party's stinky face, Li Anran laughed, then got into the carriage and said with a smile: "Okay, Cheng Huyuan, let's hurry up and see if we can make it in time."
Enter the city before dark."
"Yes, Master." Cheng Chu, who was sweating all over in the hot sun in order to dig a hole to bury the body, hurriedly carried the big bucket containing ice cubes and sour plum soup into the carriage. Although the sour plum soup was gone, the ice was still there.
The block is still there. Just enough to cool down.
Because this place is right on the border between Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia in later generations. The landform is dominated by sandy beaches. Apart from the sand soldiers and rock walls that have been weathered for who knows how many years, it is difficult to see even green anywhere along the way.
Not to mention the great scenery.
Bored Li Anran, after admiring the amazing natural scenery for a while, went back to the villa and picked up four small rechargeable table fans specially for office workers, and also brought four basins of ice cubes and
Bring some fruits.
The small table fan placed behind the ice bucket. The hot air blown out after passing through the ice bucket may not have a very obvious effect, but at least it is better than no effect at all. Not to mention, with the ice bucket, the cabin
The temperature inside always drops a lot.
The fruits brought with the ice basin became a good thing to relieve the heat. Not only did Cheng Chusi, who had just lost his appetite due to burying the corpse, eat very happily, he even took out his tablet and started playing mobile games.
Li Anran also ate a lot.
"Real person, there's some movement." After leaving the scene of the high-altitude fall and murder, the carriage walked alone on the windy beach for almost an hour and a half. Cheng Chusi, who was driving through a fork in the road, suddenly noticed a motorcade appearing in front of him not far away.
.
"What's going on?" Li Anran, who was bored with cutting fruits, quickly stuck his head out and asked.
"It looks like it should be a caravan, but to dare to go out to do business at this time is very courageous." Cheng Chusi pointed at the caravan that was walking not far ahead and was not going very fast. Cheng Chusi speculated.
"Tsk, do you think everyone knows that the Tang Dynasty is going to fight? And even if you know, so what? Businessmen are always looking for profit. Maybe if the Tang Dynasty fights with the Liang Kingdom, they can make more money from it.
The benefits." Li Anran curled his lips and said after looking at the convoy that was obviously carrying goods.
"Uh... what the young master said makes sense." Cheng Chusi, who was despised, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Then should we follow them or simply pass them? It seems that this place is not far from Shuofang City.
"
"Of course I have to keep up. It's best to establish some relationship with the car owner. I finally met five people before and wanted to inquire about the situation in Shuofang City, but they died too quickly without asking anything." I really want to know what I can do.
Li Anran, who can't be like those protagonists who can bump into a "big fish" wherever he goes, said a little excitedly.
"Understood, young master." Youxin said that the five people died too quickly, all because of you. But when he thought of the endless magic and unreliable character of the immortal in front of him, Cheng Chusi decisively said
I think it’s better to be honest, otherwise, God knows what will happen.
Following Li Anran's instructions, Cheng Chusi raised his whip and made a loud crackle in the air. During the break, he also took advantage of someone's new ability. The old horse had a good meal.
Immediately the speed increased again.
After a while, the carriage approached the not-so-fast convoy. The movement behind it immediately attracted the attention of the convoy. When Cheng Chusi came closer, he found that the people in the car were on guard.
looking at himself.
For such a reaction, Li Anran, who looked through the car window, was naturally not surprised at all. After all, this place is not within the Tang Dynasty. The folk customs in this area are originally relatively tough, and thieves and bandits are very distinctive.
Specialties.
As Cheng Chusi drove the carriage to the middle of the convoy, and then slowed down, he soon saw a middle-aged man getting out of a carriage, clasping his fists towards this side and saying from a distance: "
I wonder if this strong man has any advice?"
"The young master of a certain family is a traveling scholar. He was passing through here and wanted to ask how far it is from Shuofang. How should we go this way?" Cheng Chusi, who also returned the gesture with fists clasped, said.
"Young scholar?" Looking at the dilapidated carriage in front of him, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment and said: "This place is still half an hour away from Shuofang. Just go straight along this road."
While Cheng Chusi and the middle-aged man were asking and answering questions, Li Anran, who was sitting in the carriage, couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"No, look at those movies. When the protagonist encounters a caravan, he is always invited to accompany him as soon as possible, and then treated as an honored guest. Not only is he provided with delicious food and drinks, but he also gives money, food, and girls. Why is he there?
Is that not the case here? Is it too low-key? If I had known, I would have brought the luxury carriage from home."
Fortunately, being depressed, Li Anran also knew the real purpose of his trip to Shuofang City this time. Looking at the middle-aged man who was obviously a first-class manager, after answering the questions, not to mention respecting himself as a guest, he even exchanged words.
When you have no intention of going down, you are too lazy to touch the other person's cold ass with your warm face.
But just like that saying, flowers planted with intention will not bloom, but willows planted without intention will form shade. The development of things is often very surprising. No, when Li Anran was planning to let Cheng Chusi pass the convoy and rush to Shuofang City first
When I was walking, I heard a panicked cry suddenly coming from the parallel motorcade: "Uncle Feng, brother...brother, he is dying."
The middle-aged man who was still on guard against Cheng Chusi suddenly changed his expression. He didn't care about anything else. He immediately asked someone to stop the carriage, then jumped out of the car and headed towards another one that looked ordinary and didn't even care.
No one would have thought there would be any big shot running there in his carriage.
"Young Master, this man's skills are not bad." Cheng Chusi said in a low voice as he looked at the middle-aged man's figure as he ran.
"Hey! How dare you make a living outside if you don't have much ability." Li Anran, who was not surprised by this, said with a smile.
"Master, are we going to watch a show, or are we going to avoid people?" Cheng Chusi, who had been following someone for so long and couldn't learn many modern words, asked.
From the crying words just now, Li Anran could easily infer that there should be a patient in this convoy. In this way, it is not difficult to understand why this convoy ran so slowly, probably because he was afraid of hurting the patient.
What's wrong with the bumps?
As for the question of why they didn't send someone to go find the doctor first, but instead asked the entire convoy to stay with them. Firstly, the other party may have already done so. Secondly, most likely the owner of the convoy was afraid that the road would be unsafe.
Li Anran, who had been thinking that it was impossible and the two could only "smuggle" into the city at night, said immediately: "It's only half an hour away anyway. Don't be in a hurry. Let's take a look first. It just so happens."
