Chapter 16: There is a courtyard on the mountain
Qin Xiao killed the fat man with a mace and got off the horse.
One of the fat man's heads had been shattered. It was so miserable that he lay dead on the ground.
Qin Xiao walked over, not politely, and searched the fat man's body. He found a money bag with some broken silver in it, and several hundred taels of silver notes. In addition, there was some gold sore medicine.
Qin Xiao received all the photos.
After leading the horse back to the old crooked tree, he saw Tang Rong still sitting on the ground, shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sister Rong, are you okay?"
Tang Rong came back to her senses, forced a smile and said, "It's okay." Then she said, "Come here, let me take a look at the wound on your shoulder."
Qin Xiao didn't care at first, but after hearing what Tang Rong said, he suddenly felt some pain in his shoulders, but he still shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't matter...!"
"Obey!" Tang Rong deliberately lowered her face, "You must have split your shoulder and mouth from the fight just now. Let me see."
Qin Xiao handed the golden sore medicine to Tang Rong and said with a smile: "I am very lucky to find the golden sore medicine from that fat man."
"How can you say you are lucky when you meet these people?" Tang Rong sighed: "I shouldn't have brought you here, I almost got you in trouble...!"
"If you say this again, I'll be really angry." Qin Xiao said, "We've all come here and you still say these kind words. I feel unhappy."
Tang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore." She stood up, pointed at a stone and said, "Sit here and I'll take a look at the wound."
Qin Xiao took off his coat and pulled off the clothes on his shoulders. Tang Rong said with concern: "I said the wound was open and bleeding." She took a water bag and washed Qin Xiao's wound first, carefully and gently.
, then applied the golden sore medicine and asked softly: "Does it still hurt?"
"As soon as Sister Rong touches her hand, it won't hurt anymore." Qin Xiao said with a smile.
"That's nonsense again." After Tang Rong applied the medicine, Qin Xiao put on clothes and asked Tang Rong: "Sister Rong, how is your wound? How about I take a look at it for you?"
Tang Rong's cheeks turned bright red, and she said: "No, I know it's okay." She looked up at the Black Overlord, and saw the Black Overlord standing with his head raised, looking at the horizon, looking proud, and chuckled: "You
This horse is really spiritual, if it hadn’t been for it...!”
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "This guy has a very weird temper. Most people can't get close to him. He kicked and injured many people in the past. I think he thinks his sister is pretty, so he kicks out. He shows off when he sees a beautiful woman. This guy
It’s not a good thing either.”
"No?" Tang Rong smiled half-heartedly: "Is there someone else who is not a good person?"
Qin Xiao pointed to the corpse on the ground and said, "These are not good things."
Tang Rong said: "These evil people are not qualified to be compared with these horses."
Qin Xiao laughed and went over to look at the bodies of the other two people. He found gold sore medicine on them, but there was no silver. In addition to the gold sore medicine, the short man also had a black porcelain bottle. Qin Xiao
Xiao didn't know what it was, so he put away the golden sore medicine, took the black porcelain bottle and uncorked it. He didn't dare to get too close to it, but only smelled a faint smell coming from inside. It was a bit strange, and walked to Tang Rong.
The person next to him said: "Sister Rong, this guy has a bottle on him. It doesn't look like medicine for wounds. I don't know what it is."
Tang Rong reached out and took it, feeling a little strange, but soon she smelled the fragrance. She came closer and smelled it. Suddenly her face turned red and she threw it away from a distance, saying: "Don't carry this kind of bastard thing with you."
"Bastard thing?" Qin Xiaoqi asked: "Is it poison?"
Tang Rong didn't look at Qin Xiao's eyes and just said "hmm".
Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "That's not right. Poison is either colorless and odorless, or it smells bad. It has a fragrance inside, and it doesn't look like poison. Let me see what it is." He went to pick up the bottle, but Tang Rong had already grabbed it.
He grabbed his clothes and said, "If I say it's a bastard, it's a bastard. Don't you believe me?"
Qin Xiao said "Oh", and then looked like he suddenly understood: "I understand, Sister Rong, is it...an aphrodisiac?"
"You...!" Tang Rong rolled her eyes at Qin Xiao: "You are interested in these bastard things."
Qin Xiao looked at the bottle and sighed: "I guess this bottle is very expensive, so it's a pity to throw it away like this."
"If you feel sorry for it, go pick it up and keep it well." Tang Rong said angrily: "Maybe you will really need it in the future."
Qin Xiao laughed, knowing that some topics were appropriate, and asked: "Sister Rong, these people are also going to Duankong Castle. According to their wishes, if you want to go to Duankong Castle, you need to prepare money."
Tang Rong frowned and said, "I have heard of such a thing before, but I don't know the details."
"You haven't been there?"
"No." Tang Rong shook her head and smiled bitterly: "This is also my first time going there."
Qin Xiao was startled for a moment, then asked: "Then you don't know where Duankong Castle is, right?"
Tang Rong hesitated for a moment and finally said: "Duankong Castle is omnipotent. As long as you reach a deal with them, they can help you realize your request." After a slight pause, he continued: "Everyone is here
In this world, there are things that you cannot solve by yourself, or there are wishes that cannot be realized, but Duankong Castle can help you fulfill your wishes."
Qin Xiao was startled and asked in surprise: "Is there such a place in the world?"
"Actually, not many people know about Duankong Castle." Tang Rong explained: "Many people have heard about the story of Duankong Castle, but they don't believe it."
"I want to pick the stars from the sky and give them to you, can they do it too?" Qin Xiao asked.
Tang Rong smiled and said: "Why did you give me stars?" She shook her head and said: "Of course it can't be done. There are many things that Duankong Castle can do, but some unbelievable things, just like you said you wanted to pick them.
Naturally, they can't reach the stars in the sky. But... their ability is indeed great. As far as I know, no one who trades with them is disappointed."
"Sister Rong, with all due respect, these are just hearsay." Qin Xiao said: "Asking Duankong Castle for help, many things cannot be made explicit. Even if Duankong Castle fails, the person asking may not be able to do so.
Show it to the outside world.”
Tang Rong said with a smile: "What you said makes sense."
"So, this time Sister Rong went to Duankong Castle to ask them to do something?" Qin Xiao looked at Tang Rong's eyes: "You can't solve this problem, so you can only ask them to help?"
Tang Rong nodded slightly, looked up at the sky, and it was already dark. She said softly: "Brother Xiao, it's getting late. It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We'd better leave as soon as possible."
She called Qin Xiao "Brother Xiao". Qin Xiao felt a little awkward and didn't say anything. They cleaned up and got on their horses. Qin Xiao was still sitting in front.
There were a lot of sand and stones in the Gobi, and Qin Xiao didn't let the Black Overlord run too fast. Under the night, the sky and the earth were vast, and the howls of coyotes could be heard from time to time. Qin Xiao thought that if he were just walking through this Gobi alone, he would be scared.
Frightened to death, Tang Rong seemed to have a little fear of this Gobi desert and hugged Qin Xiao's waist tightly. Qin Xiao naturally enjoyed the rubbing of Sister Rong's plump breasts openly.
Don't be too slow or too slow. When you are hungry, slow down your horse and sit on the horse's back to eat dry food.
Early the next morning, I didn't know how far I had walked. As I walked through the Gobi, I saw dead bones on the roadside from time to time.
Qin Xiao said: "It seems that many people are going to Duankong Castle, but many people died on the way before they saw Duankong Castle."
Tang Rong just sighed quietly and didn't say much.
At noon, I saw a figure appearing in front of me from a distance. The man was wearing shabby clothes, with a black scarf on his head, and was walking slowly forward with a long and narrow package on his back.
Qin Xiao and Tang Rong had encountered the three villains before and knew that the road leading to Duankong Castle was very dangerous. The man in front came alone and was quite courageous, but Qin Xiao was naturally wary of this man.
He did not get close to the man, but deliberately kept the distance and passed him on horseback from a distance. When he looked back, he saw that the man did not even look at him, but just looked ahead. Although his pace was slow, every step he took was very powerful.
.
Qin Xiao only took one look and knew that this kind of person was not easy to deal with, so he urged his horse to speed up. After a while, when he turned back, there was only a little of the black scarf man left.
After walking for another hour, Qin Xiao raised his finger and pointed to the southwest and said: "Sister Rong, there is a mountain peak there, is it Duankong Castle?" As soon as the words came out, he thought that Tang Rong had never been here, so it should be impossible to confirm.
Sure enough, Tang Rong said: "I'm not sure either, let's go over and have a look."
The mountain peak looked not far away, but it took a stick of incense to run. When I got closer, I saw a rift valley suddenly appeared in front of me. There seemed to be a stone bridge hanging over the rift valley. This side of the stone bridge
, there are a few people waiting.
Qin Xiao dismounted, helped Tang Rong dismount, and then led the horse over.
There is indeed a cliff in front of it, more than ten feet wide, but it is really a stone bridge connecting the two sides.
I saw an earth mountain opposite, which was quite high. On the mountainside, there was a courtyard surrounded by earth walls, but the building inside was quite special, with a dome and white walls, which was very different from the buildings in the Central Plains.
As soon as Qin Xiao and Tang Rong came over, everyone waiting at the edge of the cliff immediately looked over, with a look of caution on everyone's face.
Qin Xiao saw that there were about seven or eight people here, with horses tied nearby and some people coming in carriages. Everyone was silent and wary of others.
"Sister Rong, shall we go there?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
Tang Rong looked solemn, looked at the others, and then whispered: "These people are waiting here, let's not act rashly, wait for a while. This Duankong Castle must have their rules, let's not destroy them.
rule."
"There are indeed rules." A person standing at the head of the bridge turned around and said: "Duankong Castle opens the bridge at the You hour. Anyone who walks up to it early will die without a burial place." Qin Xiao raised his finger and pointed at a stone at the head of the bridge. Qin Xiao stepped forward to take a closer look.
After looking at it, I saw that it said "Entry at Youshi, and any offenders will be killed without mercy."
It was written not only in Chinese characters, but also in other characters. Qin Xiao only recognized Chinese characters and had no idea what other characters were.
However, he knew that the Duankong Fort was within the territory of the Wutuo Khanate, and it was only natural that people from the Tang Dynasty came here, as well as Wutuo people and even people from the Western Regions. He reminded them in various texts.
He looked back and saw two barbarians from the Western Regions standing not far away, but most of the people who came were from the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains.
