Chapter 172 Entering Southern Xinjiang for the first time (2)
"Why do they invite us all the way?" Han Mingxi asked in a low voice, "If it is because of my identity, he should have greeted me directly. After all, my elder brother has a very good relationship with the Lord of the King of Hell."
Ye Li shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. They invited me once before you came, but I refused."
Han Mingxi touched his chin and said, "The purpose of the sick scholar traveling thousands of miles to southern Xinjiang is definitely not simple, but why did he come with that rich businessman? Ordinary rich businessman can't invite him. As for the medicinal materials business... people who do medicinal materials business will not go to southern Xinjiang in person in March and April." The rare medicinal materials from Dachu and southern Xinjiang are the most common ones in southern Xinjiang. But looking at Yonglin City's cold appearance now, you will know that it is not the time to do medicinal materials business. Ye Li held his forehead and said, "Do you think that those who dare to be with people like the sick scholar are ordinary wealthy businessmen?"
Han Mingxi raised his eyebrows, "Is there any problem?"
Ye Li was silent for a moment, "I haven't seen it yet." But since she was trembling, she must figure out whether this was a coincidence or intentional one.
The group quickly met at the entrance of the inn, then went out of the city to get on the horse and headed towards the Ruixue Pass. What surprised Ye Li was that the rich businessman looked like he was full of heart and his riding skills were pretty good. But it looked really worried about the horse under him. The sick scholar had coughed all the way since he got on the horse, as if he had accidentally coughed out his heart and lungs. When he was traveling through Ruixue Pass, Ye Li turned around and saw Murong Ting standing on the city wall happily saying something to the middle-aged man beside him. I guess Murong Ting lived a very happy life after leaving the restraint of the capital. Ye Li was also happy for his friends, and smiled faintly and turned around to follow the person in front of him.
"Drink some water." After the Xuexue Pass, they rushed all the way until the sky gradually calmed down. Obviously, they missed Sutou today. Moreover, although the wilderness in southern Xinjiang is very dangerous, the homes or inns of southern Xinjiang may not be safe for the people of the Central Plains to go there.
After a while, An San skillfully entered the woods and came out with a pile of firewood and a pheasant, and then began to make fire and deal with wild game. Zheng Kui also grabbed a few fish from the river not far away. Ye Li glanced at the sick scholar who was walking under the tree and coughed heartbrokenly, and frowned slightly and handed some water over. The sick scholar was obviously stunned for a moment, then stretched out his right hand to take the kettle and nodded to Ye Li and whispered: "Thank you." Ye Li nodded and sat back again. Although the sick scholar seemed to be sick and half-life left, Ye Li would never underestimate him. Such a person would be as far away as possible, especially when he had a grudge against Mo Xiuyao.
Han Mingxi leaned boredly under the tree and watched An San put the treated wild game on the fire and began to roast it. He smiled at Ye Li, "Jun Wei, Brother Zhuo is really not simple. I have never seen such neat people. Even those who often sleep in the wild are not as good as those people in the wild." An San, who was sitting next to the fire, raised his eyebrows and said nothing. He would not tell Han Mingxi what kind of training the four brothers had experienced under the cliff of Heiyun Peak in half a year. In fact, their brothers have not yet figured out how many strange ideas and training methods are there in their minds. Especially the training of survival in the wild, they were thrown into the vast forest that seemed to be invisible to the edge and poisonous insects and rats.
The ant was accompanying him for a whole month. He had only a dagger and a crossbow with only five arrows. At the beginning, they could not understand what such training was useful for them who were carrying the internal power of martial arts and light skills. But a month later, An Er, the first one who came out of the forest, was in a mess, fell into disarray, An Yi, An Si and himself. Originally, the four of them were basically evenly matched, and even if they won a little, they were definitely at the end of the crossbow. However, that time An Er showed his divine power, and even defeated An Yi, then he defeated An Yi, and then he died with An Si. He had obviously not learned any other martial arts, and even his internal strength did not increase. The changes of An Er shocked them and were ecstatic.
It was not until Ansansan went in that he knew what Ansansans had experienced. Viper snakes, poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, swamps, wild beasts. At the beginning, he didn't even dare to close his eyes at night, because sometimes when he woke up, he would find himself surrounded by wolves or find that the highly venomous snake was spitting out a letter and staring at him. Every day he had to look for food and collect what the princess prescribed. The most unlucky time he was trapped in the swamp for three hours and almost thought he was about to die. But by the last few days of a month, he found that he had gradually adapted to such a bad environment.
Even if he doesn't use martial arts, he can survive freely in the forest. Even if he doesn't eat or sleep a day or night, he won't feel too uncomfortable. These are definitely something that simple martial arts cannot do. From the day he walked out of the forest, he realized that the princess was actually following in the dark after they entered the forest. An San truly surrendered to the young princess wholeheartedly. They all knew in their hearts that the master was definitely the most amazing one among the princesses of Ding. The only thing that made An San regretful was that the princess had planned a lot of things to hand over to them, but was interrupted because of the prince's illness.
"Young Master Han said it right. Brother Zhuo's technique is so skillful that he can't even compare with the old mate who has been away for decades." Zheng Kui looked at the half-baked fish in his hand, and then looked at the fresh and fragrant wild game that was almost comparable to the roasted chicken in the restaurant in An San's hand, and was very jealous. He just grabbed a few fish from the riverside. The serious brother had already cooked the fire and caught the pheasant and roasted it. He also took the time to go to the woods to pick up some mushrooms to prepare soup. His master was staring at the fish in his hand with dissatisfaction, his fat face was full of disgust.
Ye Li looked at Han Mingxi with a smile and said, "I have been taking care of me all the way, and others are smart and naturally good at learning."
Han Mingxi looked disbelief. He often slept in the wild. Now the baked goods are still black and he dare not eat them.
Dan San calmly divided the wild game into three parts and handed it to Ye Li and Han Mingxi, as if he had not heard the master's praise. He would never tell this romantic young master that his master could do better than him. Looking at the young master Fengyue who was holding the intoxicated face in front of him, Dan San suddenly felt a strange sense of superiority.
"Young Master Zhuo is proficient in poison art?" The sick scholar sitting on the side drank a few sips of water and seemed to suppress his cough. He looked up at Ansan and asked. Ansan turned around and looked at him indifferently, "I don't understand."
The sick scholar raised his eyebrows and said with an obvious disbelief: "There are many poisonous animals in the southern border, and most of the fungi in the woods are highly toxic. But I think the ones collected are non-toxic."
