Chapter 36 Chapter Thirty-Four: Yu Ye Xun, I Don’t Believe It

The car was rattling.Same car, different people. This car is the same shape as the car that Gongzi Cong hijacked Li Qichen and Tong Shi back then, and the craftsmanship and decoration are not inferior. Because it is hot summer, the car is covered with cool bamboo mats, and the curtains are half-rolled. As the car moves forward, there are gusts of breeze pouring in, so I don't feel stuffy.The only difference was that there were three people sitting in the car, which seemed a little crowded.Among the three, only Li Qichen had his hands and feet shackled, while Gongzi Cong and Yan Wei were both free.

There are many people, chariots, and horses to protect, and there are dozens of people in total. There are more than a dozen riders in the front, back, left, and right of this cart alone.Li Tengchen was also personally protecting him beside the car. He was about thirty years old, with dark skin, and his facial features were very similar to Li Qichen's, but more angular and a bit more murderous. Inside the car, Gongzi Cong kept frowning and thinking, without saying a word. Li Qichen reassured him: "At first we said that we would let them escort you to Huaidu, but now it seems that there is no difference. After seeing the king, everything will be decided by itself. You don't have to worry about it."

Gongzi Cong didn't seem to care what Li Qichen said, he just blurted out and asked, "How do they know our whereabouts?" Li Qichen sighed: "As long as someone goes back to the valley and asks, they will know that we will go to Changyan Pass, and Fancheng is an important town that must pass through to Changyan Pass, we will definitely stay here. It's not hard to find us at Susan. I'm afraid we were already being targeted when we first entered the city gate... It's been a safe journey, so I'm a little careless..." He sighed softly. Yan Wei said: "Young master will go back, of course nothing will happen, but brother Li is a fugitive, I don't know if I have been cleared of the crime of harboring..." She paused for a moment, then touched the jade pendant through her clothes , "I don't know if it will implicate Young Master Su..."

Gongzi Cong was stunned for a moment, as if he had been thinking about all kinds of mysteries about himself, but he hadn't thought about the situation of Li Qichen and Yan Wei, so he didn't know how to talk to him for a while. Li Qichen let out a long sigh and said, "Oh... I just hope that there will be a turning point on the road..." Yan Wei asked, "You mean...Tong Shu?" Li Qichen nodded: "Since they can find us, Tong Shu can naturally too!" Before the words fell, the car stopped abruptly.There was only a commotion outside the car. Gongzi Cong and Yan Wei lifted the curtain of the car to look out, and vaguely saw two more riders in front of the queue, and the riders on the horses were all dressed in black. Because the bikes were short and there were crowds of people behind them, it didn't look real.

Gongzi Cong was about to straighten his body to look around, when suddenly a spear protruded from the slanted stab, the tip of the spear was less than a foot away from Gongzi Cong's chest, the soldier holding the spear shouted: "Don't move!" Gongzi Cong glared at the soldier, and said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?" The soldier froze, the tip of the spear trembling slightly, but he didn't flinch, he still stood still with the spear. Gongzi Cong ignored him, straightened up and knelt down, stretched his neck to look forward, but at this time Li Tengchen had already rode his horse to the front, talking to those two people, one person and one horse completely blocked the sight, I can't even see anything.

Li Qichen sat still because he was shackled. Yan Wei turned around and said to Li Qichen: "There are two people in front, black horses in black clothes, I don't know what their origins are." Li Qichen's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his lips. After a while, the soldiers moved out of the way, and Li Tengchen personally led the two men in black to the front of the car. I saw that both of them were wearing hoods, covering their hair and half of their faces, but Li Qichen recognized at a glance that the person behind was Tong Shui, he squeezed Yan Wei's hand with a smile, and nodded to Gongzi Cong hint.

Seeing his smiling face, Young Master Cong couldn't help but also smiled, following his gaze, he turned his head to look at those two people, just looking at them, his whole body was like a clay sculpture, and he was stunned. Li Tengchen ordered someone to help Yan Wei and Li Qichen get out of the car, and then personally opened the shackles for Li Qichen. "Brother..." Li Qichen called out in a low voice. Li Tengchen was still serious, and said in a deep voice: "You two, go with them." "What about Young Master Cong?" Li Qichen asked. "That's not something you should worry about!" Li Tengchen shouted in a deep voice.

Li Qichen looked back at Gongzi Cong, only to see that Gongzi Cong was still in the same posture just now, staring straight at the other man in black, as if he hadn't heard Li Tengchen's words at all. Tong Shui had already jumped off the horse, hugged Li Qichen's shoulder tightly, put his chin on Li Qichen's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "I'm here to pick you up..." His tone was full of smiles. Li Qichen also hugged Tong Shi's waist tightly, and whispered in his ear: "I knew you would come!" After a while, Tong Shu let go of Li Qichen's hand and said to Yan Wei, "Get on my horse." Then he turned to Li Qichen, "Brother, you and Brother Du will ride together!"

His voice was very soft, but as soon as the word "Du" came out, Gongzi Cong murmured to another man in black like an electric shock, "You are... Du Wang? Is it Du Wang? Are you Du Wang!" The man in black shook his head lightly, without making a sound, he just buried his head lower, and under the hood, only the tip of his nose and mandible were exposed, so he couldn't see his face clearly. "You are Du Wang! You take off your hat, I want to see your face!" Gongzi Cong shouted, straightened up and wanted to get out of the car, but five or six spears came forward and surrounded him in the car.

The man in black ignored Young Master Cong, he just clamped the horse's belly lightly, came to Li Qichen, and stretched out his hand to signal Li Qichen to get on the horse.Tong Shu also urged Yan Wei to get on the horse. However, Yan Wei turned to Li Tichen and said, "He... Gongzi Cong is sick. Although he has been treated, I don't know if the root will be cut off... If you get sick halfway, just ask him how to deal with the nursing, he knows... If When you get sick in Huaidu, you can seek medical treatment from my father Yan Changchu, if he has returned to Huaidu now..."

Li Tengchen sat on the horse, nodded, and said, "Don't worry!" Yan Wei looked back at Gongzi Cong, wanting to say something to say goodbye, but saw that Gongzi Cong was just staring at the man in black, not even looking at herself, so she got on the horse too. Seeing the four of them turning their horses to leave, Young Master Cong shouted, "You are Du Wang! Don't you recognize me? Why don't you take me with you! Du Wang!" The man in black whipped the horse hard, and the horse rushed out like an arrow, and Tong Shu hurriedly rode to catch up. Smoke and dust all the way, straight to the north. This is Yan Wei's second time riding a horse.The last time I rode together with Gongzi Cong and Li Qichen, and it was dark night walking on the mountain road, the speed was not fast, but this time it was galloping like flying.Sitting in front of Tong Shi, Yan Wei felt the strong wind cut her face and couldn't open her eyes. He galloped like this for most of the day, when it was getting late, he saw a red mountain peak in the distance, although it was not high, it was very abrupt, like a pillar supporting the sky. After running for another hour, we finally reached the foot of the mountain.Looking closely at the mountain peak, one can see that the mountain wall is almost straight up and down, and the horizontal stripes of yellow, orange, red, and ochre are all over the mountain wall, shining like a rainbow.There are verdant trees on the top of the mountain, which looks like a lone peak from a distance, but when you look closer, you find that there are mountains behind it. The two reined in the horse, and Tong Shui gently carried Yan Wei off the horse.That "Brother Du" took off his hood and revealed his face. He was a man in his thirties with a mustache and a shrewd and capable face. Li Qichen cupped his hands to that "Brother Du" and said, "Thank you! Please tell me your name." "Du Rong." The man spat out two words and then remained silent.He took out a small set of bows and arrows from his waist, bent the bow and set the arrows, and shot only at the top of the mountain.The arrow flew straight into the sky with a whistling sound, it turned out to be a loud arrow, and it must have been communicating with the people on the mountain. Yan Wei couldn't help asking: "Then are you related to Du Wang? How could Young Master Cong mistake you for Du Wang? Who is Du Wang?" That Du Rong just looked up at the movement above, and did not answer Yan Wei's words. Seeing that Du Rong didn't speak, Li Qichen was afraid of Yan Wei's embarrassment, so he said, "Then Du Wang is the friend that Young Master Cong mentioned." "Ah?!" Yan Wei was taken aback, and asked Du Rong again, "Young Master Cong has a good memory, and won't easily mistake someone, especially such an important person, you must have something to do with Du Wang! Are you his brother?" ?” Du Rong looked back at Yan Wei and nodded, "We are twin brothers." Yan Wei said, "What about Du Wang? Where is he now?" "It's already passed away..." After Du Rong finished speaking, he turned his head to look up again. Suddenly, there was a rumbling sound from above, and a huge wicker basket fell from the sky. When the wicker basket came to a stop, Du Rong stretched out his hand to pull it, and there was a trap beside the basket. Du Rong said to the three of them, "Go up! Don't worry about the horse, someone will take care of it." The basket was big enough for four people to stand on, and the edge of the basket was as high as Yan Wei's chest.When the four stood still, Du Rong pinned the trap door, pulled the rope on the basket, and a bell rang, and the basket was slowly lifted up. Seeing Yan Wei, Tong Shui was curious and surprised, and said with a smile, "This is 'Chiya Tianshui'." The wicker basket climbed slowly all the way, and reached the top of the cliff in a short while, at this time the sky had already darkened.I saw several huge winches connected to each other by the cliff, and dozens of slaves were working around the winches.Yan Wei had never seen such a spectacle before, so she felt dumbfounded. Walking along the wide corridor next to him was a man wearing a black crown, a long gown with a straight front and brocade covering his knees, without any entourage, but that kind of luxury and majesty naturally exuded. Du Rong guided the three of them over, bowed deeply to the man, and introduced: "This is Mr. Yue'an." Li Qichen had already recognized him, slightly surprised, but didn't say anything, just bowed down. Mr. Yue'an raised his hand to show his disclaimer, and said to Du Rong: "It's getting late, you can arrange for them to rest! We'll talk about it tomorrow morning if we have something to do." Tong Su hurriedly said, "Where's Yan Yin?" Jun Yue An smiled: "I have already given it to your brother named Zhao Lei, and your hundred and ten people have been recruited, so you can just wait for the profit in the future!" Tong Lv laughed and said, "It wouldn't be possible without Qijie." Jun Yue An took out a golden object from his bosom, as long as a palm, with intricate patterns and characters carved on it.I saw Mr. Yue An holding the object in his hand, and when he swung his left and right hands back and forth, the object was divided into two halves, presumably connected by a tenon in the middle.Jun Yue An threw half of it to Tong Shui, and said, "You can rest assured now?" Tong Shu caressed the half piece of Qijie, and said with a grin, "You have to hold it in your hand to be at ease..." Mr. Yue An said: "Don't worry, instead of spending time and energy dealing with you salt lords, the government should cooperate with you and turn private into an official. The government saves the effort of trafficking and the manpower of banning you, and you can also be fair and honest in the future." Selling salt, you don’t have to worry about fear and fear. Cooperation will benefit both, and separation will harm both.” Tong Shui grinned and said, "I believe you won't break your promise, but it's reasonable to see the real money first, otherwise it's hard to explain to your brothers." Jun Yue An said: "The brothers under your command are very happy. From now on, you can just take the official road to enter the city gate, and you don't have to go over mountains and detours to deep mountains and old forests. How much effort and danger can you save? It’s not that I don’t know. If you want to see the accounts, you can just go to Zhao Lei tomorrow.”
