Cannot attack objects

Chapter 128

It was already midnight when the caravan arrived in Shicheng Town. Fortunately, most people in the desert were on their way at midnight, so the gates of this small town were never closed in the middle of the night, just to guard against those unscrupulous horse thieves and sand robbers. some more.

Shicheng Town is not big, but it is a place where many businessmen come and go, so it has a different kind of prosperity.Even though it was already midnight when Zhong Shao and others entered the city, the city was still brightly lit, and all kinds of shops were still open, selling food, weapons, horses, and even barbarians were yelling and selling food from the city. A beauty brought from somewhere in the Western Regions.

Most of the people were already familiar with the strangeness, and turned a blind eye to the excitement around them, but there were also those who came out for the first time, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't they rest in the middle of the night?" Especially those who sell beauties from the Western Regions, can anyone really come to buy them in the middle of the night?How anxious is that!

Others reprimanded, "Why do you care about all this? Are you not tired after driving all day? Go to the inn and rest."

There are quite a lot of people in Zhong Shao's group, the caravan plus guards, there are almost [-] people, it is impossible to settle in an inn, even if these people sleep in Datong shop, ordinary inns are not so Multiple and empty bunks can be placed, not to mention horses and camels.So everyone had to disperse, and then settled in five inns on the same street.

That's right, there are five inns on one street. Although this stone town is not big, there are many merchants coming and going. Not to mention, a lot of inns have opened.Not to mention Zhong Shao's large caravan with more than a thousand people, even if there are two more teams, the inn in Shicheng Town can accommodate them.

Perhaps it is also because of this that this ordinary town in the Gobi desert attracts caravans from all over the world.Then more businessmen settled down, the town became more prosperous, and the reception of desert tourists became more comprehensive, which attracted more merchants, and this cycle continued, making the town prosperous forever.

It was not the first time for Zhong Shao and the others to come to Shicheng Town. They had to come and go several times a year, so they also had a familiar inn in this small town.The huge caravan was quickly settled, and after a brief meal, most people just rested there. There are not many opportunities for doing business in the desert, even if there are other oasis towns, they are also on guard. The horse thief, the sand thief, even sleeps with one eye open.

After setting up the rest of the people, Zhong Shao and Wu Changjun were the last to go back to rest. The waiter at the inn obviously recognized them, and when they met, they greeted them with a smile: "Mr. Zhong, Master Wu, long time no see, this is another trip to the Western Regions came back?"

Wu Changjun didn't bother to pay attention to such polite words, so he waved his hands and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to starve to death, serve some food first, and then boil a few buckets of water and send them to the house."

Xiao Er agreed, and sure enough, she stopped talking, turned around and went back to the kitchen to say hello.

This is a custom, even if you don't eat, you must take a bath when you arrive in this stone town.It is not only Zhong Shao who is obsessed with cleanliness, but also Wu Changjun, the raider. Men are more likely to sweat than women, and their body odor is heavier. After walking in the desert for a few days, people will be rotten.Before walking in the wind and sand, I didn't feel it. Now that I stayed under the same roof, Wu Changjun himself felt that he was smothering.

Afterwards, the two of them simply ate their meals, took a quick bath in the guest room, and after recovering their refreshment, they finally felt alive again.It is only at this time that Zhong Shao misses the soft pillows on the high bed in Guannei, all the things that happened in Anyang back then, and that gentle and beautiful person who made her infinitely attached to her.

In the dark guest room, a faint sigh came, and then calm returned.

************************************************** *********

It was almost September, and the clothes were given in September. It stands to reason that the weather should turn cold, but this law does not seem to work in the desert.

From the beginning of the morning sun, the dryness and heat in the air gradually appeared, and the people who slept soundly on the bed gradually had fine beads of sweat on their faces, and they were no longer as peaceful as before.However, the exhaustion accumulated over the past few months couldn't wake her up, so she subconsciously kept turning over to find a cool place, while she still fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon, but this was not surprising.After Zhong Shao stretched his shoulders and walked out of the guest room, the waiter at the inn looked at her and even smiled, "Mr. Zhong, you woke up really early, why don't you take a rest?"

Zhong Shao also had a smile on his face, and said gently: "It's too hot, I can't sleep, I just woke up and went out to have a look, maybe I can find some novel things." This is not bad, the countries of the Western Regions There are different specialties, but the general caravan merchants only know one way, and if they want to get things from other places, they have to exchange them. This stone town is an excellent trading place.

Xiao Er was obviously not surprised, so he said with a smile: "Then young master, do you want some food first?"

Zhong Shao waved his hand and said, "No need, I just went out to have a look. I haven't been here in the past few months, but there are some western delicacies in the city." She walked out while talking, but she almost bumped into a people.

A guard immediately stepped forward and put a saber in front of Zhong Shao, but luckily the saber was not out of its sheath: "Walk carefully."

Zhong Shao had already stopped, looking up at the guard's attire, his pupils shrank slightly.Fortunately, she has experienced many things in these years, but she didn't show it at all on her face, she just said "sorry" lightly, and wanted to bypass this group of people and leave the inn.

However, at this moment, an arm protruded from the side of the guard, and then a person squeezed forward directly from his side, staggering forward as if excited, and then... straight to Zhong Shao!

Zhong Shao subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it, only then did he see clearly that the guard was followed by a middle-aged man, dressed as a scholar with a white face and beard, with a bookish look, he did not look like a person who should appear in this small town in the Western Regions.Looks a little... familiar?

As soon as this idea came up, Zhong Shao's vigilance was raised to the extreme.As she recalled whether she had seen this person in Anyang, she looked at the number of guards behind him—it was a team of Imperial Forest Army, which belonged to the Imperial Army with Habayashi, and they were important guards of the palace, so they could accompany the guards It must not be a small person, but fortunately, there are not many imperial guards following this person at the moment, only a dozen or so.

Just when Zhong Shao began to think about how to calmly take down the dozen or so imperial guards, she suddenly heard a sentence that seemed very familiar: "Ah... don't you remember me? I am your uncle! "

I am your uncle!I am your uncle? !I am your uncle! ! !

Zhong Shao was a little dazed for a moment, she seemed to have really dug out someone from the corner of her memory in a trance?Then one was caught off guard, and she was grabbed by the arm by the middle-aged man.The other party was extremely excited, with tears in his eyes: "My God, I finally found you! After so many years..."

The more he talked, the more sad he became, and the tears really flowed down as he talked, crying so hard that he also stared at a group of people dumbfounded.

Zhong Shao froze in place, and was in a dilemma for a while, she tried to twitch her arm, but was held tightly by the other party.She had no choice but to say, "This... sir, I really don't know you."

The person on the opposite side froze immediately when he heard the words, and Zhong Shao could feel how stiff his hand was holding his arm, but he obviously had no intention of letting go, so he raised his tearful eyes and said, "We are in Los Angeles. I met you in the city, your father wrote a letter before he died and entrusted you to me." He said for a while, and then cried: "I didn't take good care of you, but someone took you away, so that we Uncle and nephew haven't seen each other for many years..."

That's right, this person is the scholar who pretended to be Uncle Zhong Shao in Los Angeles back then.It's just that he was unlucky, he met Zhan Pengfei on the street, let Zhong Shao run away, and when he rushed to Yangliu Village, Zhong Shao had already been taken away by Concubine Yu's people.In the next few years, he did not find a chance to get close to Zhong Shao, until Zhong Shao killed King Rui by mistake, was robbed and escaped from prison, and completely lost his whereabouts.

Zhong Shao's eyes flickered slightly, and he glanced at the Imperial Forest Army following behind this man. Their faces were somewhat surprised, but there was nothing else.After pondering for a while, Zhong Shao still said: "It's not good to be blocked at the gate, let's go in and talk."

The middle-aged man didn't object, but he didn't let go of Zhong Shao's hand, as if he was afraid that she would run away.But at this moment, Wu Changjun also came out. Seeing this scene, he frowned and asked, "Ziheng, what's wrong?"

Zhong Shao could see the defense in Wu Changjun's eyes, and he obviously recognized the outfits of the Imperial Forest Army, but right now it was not the time for conflict, so she winked at Wu Changjun and replied: "Xu met an old friend, I want to have a chat, sir, would you like to listen in?"

Wu Changjun naturally followed, but the imperial forest army was sent far away by the middle-aged man.

The three of them sat down, and Xiao Er served a pot of water.Without tea, the most common tea in the Central Plains would cost several times more in this stone town, which is quite expensive, so the inn would naturally not take the initiative.

Fortunately, the three of them didn't care. After sitting down, Zhong Shao went straight to the point: "What's your name, sir?"

Wu Changjun was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help looking at Zhong Shao, and asked with his eyes: Isn't it about an old man, why don't you even know his name? !

Zhong Shao did not respond, but only looked at the middle-aged man opposite, who seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then said with a look of annoyance: "I was rude, I have always forgotten to report my family name, my surname is Ji, and the cursive word is Mingyuan , and Ziheng's father, Chang Yi, are best friends."

Wu Changjun seemed to understand something, his eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything hastily, so Zhong Shao said again: "My father never mentioned Mr. Ji to me before his death, but he can meet again in this wild place of the Western Regions." It is a fate to meet Mr.

Ji Mingyuan was about to burst into tears again. It's no coincidence, it's obviously because he has worked hard for many years to find the Western Regions along the clues!It's a coincidence that we met so soon.

The author has something to say:

At the beginning, the Raiders were too excited to appear on the stage, and there were too many people to write in detail, so it might be necessary to play soy sauce and let a few live.As for the daughter-in-law, I must think about it, and I must meet her. I will go back from the Western Regions in the next chapter, but it will take a few chapters to meet her.
