Although the supplies have not been collected, the Gao family has not slacked off during this period. They are taking care of the goods and maintaining the horses every day. They are ready to set off at any time. After Gao Gu gave an order, everyone in the caravan started moving and doing

Final preparations before departure.

Hu Xiuwu asked Sha Zhu to send people to send all the food and grass to the Gao family so that the Gao family could feel at ease. He only put a little emergency food in the ghost tomb, and the rest was just water.

With the abilities of Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, there will be no shortage of food in the Gobi, and clean water is more important than food and grass in the Gobi.

As soon as the Gao family moved, other caravans in Xiaofangpan City also knew the news, and everyone was surprised.

We are all on the same starting line, why can you sneak away?

After asking around, these caravans learned that the Gao family had somehow managed to get involved with the mission.

Someone saw Sha Zhu sending people to deliver a batch of food and supplies to the Gao family. With this batch of supplies, the Gao family's caravan had gathered together supplies and supplies, and could be one step ahead of them.

Then the rest of the caravan also asked people to find connections, hoping to get the envoys to sell them some food and grass, but they couldn't even see the door to Zhang Qian's room. This made them angry and jealous of the Gao family's good luck.

The typhoon season is coming soon, and they won't be able to set off in a short time, so they will have to wait until next year.

Hu Xiuwu first asked Chen Duo to go back and pack her luggage, while he went to say goodbye to Zhang Qian. Without the batch of food and grass given by Zhang Qian, the Gao family would not have agreed to set off so quickly. He was so emotional and reasonable before leaving.

You should find Zhang Qian and express your gratitude in person.

When Zhang Qian heard that Hu Xiuwu was visiting, he got up from the cave and welcomed Hu Xiuwu into the house.

After hearing Hu Xiuwu's intention, Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Tangyi's father came back during the day and reported that you were leaving soon. Unexpectedly, my brother had already found the guide at night."

"My brother is really decisive in his actions."

Hu Xiuwu said: "I would also like to thank Brother Ziwen for the batch of grain and grass. Without this batch of grain and grass, I would not have persuaded the caravan to set off with me so easily."

After saying that, Hu Xiuwu took out the Qi-sealing talisman that had been with him for many years from the ghost tomb.

Originally, there were nine talismans in total, but unfortunately, Yu Baiyuan destroyed seven of them, leaving only these two Qi-sealing long talismans. However, his golden light spell skills are getting better and better, and he will soon break through to the level of Lianqi Transformation.

In this realm, there are only two symbols left which are of little help to him.

Hu Xiuwu said: "Brother Ziwen, I have two long qi-sealing talismans here that can seal the meridians of aliens..."

Zhang Qian wanted to refuse before Hu Xiuwu finished speaking: "Absolutely not. That little food and grass is far less valuable than the knowledge you gave me. There is no need to use talismans to offset it."

Hu Xiuwu blinked his eyes and said mischievously:

"Brother Ziwen, don't get me wrong. This is not for you. You can't practice Qi, so it's useless to get this talisman. I gave this to Tang Yi's father as an apology for scaring him this morning."

Shocked Tang Yi’s father? Apologize?

Although Zhang Qian knew that this was Hu Xiuwu's excuse, he still felt a little speechless.

A kid who was less than half his age forced him into a panic with just one move, and even came to apologize to him at night. It was as if the two people's statuses had been swapped. Hu Xiuwu was the one who had practiced longer since his age.

That side.

Hu Xiuwu's statement is like an adult beating a naughty child and then coming over to apologize to the child's parents at night.

Are you sure you are not mocking Tang Yifu?

Zhang Qian sighed silently: "Forget it, just give it to me directly. I'm worried that Tang Yi's father won't be able to bear it when you say this. He is the only one I have to protect you."

Hu Xiuwu obediently placed the sealing strip on the table, and Zhang Qian took the strip in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Although he does not have the talent to practice Qi, he once served Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and saw many runes enshrined by strangers, so he still has an eye for appreciating talismans and seals.

Looking at the runes drawn on the brocade, the strokes are as smooth as a flying dragon and a phoenix, and as strong as an iron hook drawn on silver.

Whether from the perspective of calligraphy or from the perspective of a stranger, Zhang Qian felt that the quality of the talismans given to him by Hu Xiuwu was far superior to those supplied to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He couldn't help but admire:

"My master's skills are really amazing. He can be called a master in the art of talisman and seal script. However, I have never seen this rune before. Was it his own creation?"

Hu Xiuwu paused: "Yeah, right, right."

Zhang Qian said with emotion: "It's a good thing that he is a descendant of Liuhou."

I forgot, the ancestors of the Shan family don’t know where they are now. Naturally, the Shan family’s unique talisman and sealing talisman have not yet been created. Fortunately, they have the name of Liuhou’s successor, otherwise it would not be a good thing.

Explained.

Hu Xiuwu thought secretly in his heart.

Zhang Qian put the talisman away: "Brother, since you are leaving tomorrow, I won't keep you here today. I will see you off early tomorrow morning."

"good."

······

At dawn, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo had already packed their things. This was the time he and Gao Gu had agreed upon. The scorching sun on the Gobi Desert was too strong during the day, which was not conducive to travel, and in the evening there was still a camp to set up.

many.

Therefore, it is most efficient to travel in the early morning when there is morning light and the weather is not hot.

Gao Gu and his caravan were already waiting for them at the city gate.

Zhang Qian had made an agreement with Xu Yuanjin a long time ago. Today, Xiaoshipan City specially opened the city gate for Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo an hour in advance and let them out of the city.

Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo still dress like modern people. It’s not that they don’t want to experience the unique costumes of the Han Dynasty.

There are no ready-made clothes shops in Xiaoshipan City, or it can be said that there are no ready-made clothes shops in the entire Han Dynasty. To make a set of clothes at this time, the only way is to go to the fabric store to select the fabrics and then have the tailor make them into ready-made clothes. This trip takes several days.

.

Yesterday, Hu Xiuwu took Chen Duo to visit the tailor shop in Xiaofangpan City.

Chen Duo touched the fabrics in the shop and took a look at the tailor's skills before flatly rejecting Hu Xiuwu's idea of ​​buying a dress for her. This was the first time Chen Duo rejected Hu Xiuwu.

So determined.

There's only one reason, it's ugly.

No way, a small border town can have any good-looking fabrics.

After Gao Gu saw Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo, he called the caravan to prepare for departure. Zhang Qian kept his promise and took Tang Yifu to see off Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo.

Watching the caravan disappear into the wind and sand, Zhang Qian felt as if he had a premonition of what he would look like a few days later.

Tang Yi's father couldn't see Zhang Qian's sentimental appearance as a little woman, so he couldn't help but sneer:

"What? Are you scared? If you are scared, you can go back to Chang'an."

Zhang Qian chuckled and retorted: "I'm not afraid. I'm just suddenly a little worried about the strength of the guard around me. Is it as strong as he boasts? One can be worth a hundred."

"You don't understand that some people are born different. They are heavenly beings who came down from the eternal heaven. Mortals can't resist them."

Tang Yi's father said in awe that the scene of swords and swords that day always aroused the shadow of fear in his heart.

They, these hostile strangers, will be imprisoned in the dark prison of Chang'an and drained of all their value.

They will also be used as sparring partners for the Han Yiren, helping them gain experience in fighting with the Yiren and becoming familiar with the Huns' Yiren methods.

Sometimes even the emperor would come over and watch. The first time Tang Yi's father was dragged to a sparring session, his jaw almost dropped.

Because the stranger he was going to fight with was only five or six years old and was not as tall as the long bow in Tang Yi's father's hand.

But such a child managed to crush him safely, and Tang Yi's father had no power to fight back in his hands.

At first Tang Yi's father thought that he had underestimated the enemy, but when he fought against that noble man again, this time it was not only him alone, but also five other Xiongnu strangers.

They still lost six to one, and this time they lost more completely. At that time, Tang Yi's father was lying in the blood with scars, and the hearty laughter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty echoed in his ears.

From then on, Tang Yi's father's belief was broken. When Zhang Qian's father came to him and wanted him to protect his son, he agreed without thinking.

It's not because he is afraid of death, but because he doesn't want to face that child again, and he doesn't want to be reminded that he is a loser who can't even defeat a child.
