Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 215 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(2)

Within two days after the farewell, a pair of mysterious travelers appeared on the official road from the wilderness, the frontier to the city of Cangzhou.

They each rode a horse and drove leisurely along the road.They won't be particularly noticeable on the road, because in the eyes of others, these two are just running around like everyone else.

The farther south you go, the more fertile the land and the denser the population, the easier it is for the mysterious travelers to blend into the sea of ​​people.

If someone really wanted to find some clues from them, they would only focus on the beautifully made-up woman, and would naturally ignore the man beside her.

The two horses usually go in tandem, for the latter bears a man and all his belongings—a great gray cloth bundle, a sword with a scabbard covered in white cloth, and a There is only a gourd for wine, and a long flute wrapped in a cloth bag.

His head was covered with a rag handkerchief, as if deliberately covering the blemish on the top of the head, and the hair was hidden in it.The clothes on his body are fairly neat and decent, they are all layers of silk cloth, and most of them are dark and deep in color, and his head is covered with dust, so this makes him look extraordinarily bloated and cheap.

Therefore, the horse will walk behind, instead of opening the way for the woman in front.Compared with this very cumbersome good horse, the horse carrying this beautiful girl is much more relaxed.She carried nothing but a lute in her saddlebag.

This woman's attire is also a light satin dress. The egg yellow flower skirt just reaches her knees. Under the skirt is a pair of shorts. A string of copper bells is wrapped around one of the delicate and delicate legs. sound.Her eyes are dotted with dazzling makeup, symmetrical and beautiful like a butterfly, only her long eyes are exposed, and her face is veiled.

The little pony she drives is much lighter in footsteps, so she often takes the lead in the front, and often impatiently urges the man behind him flirtatiously: "Brother Aniu, go faster, if you don't go before dark, If you find restaurants and hotels, that would be bad!"

The man will also respond kindly: "Yaoyao, don't walk too fast, be careful not to bump into people..."

In the eyes of passers-by, this is just another couple of poor actors who make their home around the world.The husband spends all his savings on adorning his wife, just to win more applause and earn more money when performing for others.

When necessary, such actor couples will also sell their appearance in order to obtain board and lodging. Therefore, no matter how beautifully the woman is dressed, it will not change her low status in the eyes of ordinary people.

Out of this attitude, the mysterious travelers will not get too much attention, even on the contrary, what they get is more cold eyes and spurned by others.

"Brother A Niu" and "Yaoyao" have only each other along the way, whether in reality or in their hearts.This world does not accept them, and only when they stop and find a small village or shop where people come and go, and start to stop and sing, will people look at them more.Touch the heartstrings of that person, and there will be more silver rewards.

When they had earned enough money, they continued on their way.No one knew who they were, even in the eyes of other detainees who accompanied them along the way, the couple were just ordinary actors who knew a few pieces of Xianbei music, and they didn't know anything else.

In other words, so far, the travelers have not encountered any trouble.After all, all the people we meet on the road are passers-by in the vast world of mortals. Even if everyone's status is different, they can still find the only common ground and understand each other.

This kind of peaceful life lasted until the day when you entered Qunma Pass, the pass of Qunma Mountain, where people would not remember that you used to be busy in the world, and they would only see that the rare guest in front of them was a beautiful actress who came all the way from Beizhen. .

Originally, Bai Feng didn't want to stir up trouble, he would answer whatever the pass guard asked, even when he saw with his own eyes that the guard was holding the arrest warrant for himself and Murong Yan, he didn't change his face.

At first, the pass guard saw that the other party had the customs clearance document from Yuyi Town, so he was indeed very obedient, and put Bai Feng and Murong Yan into the urn city of the pass.Unexpectedly, dozens of soldiers had already stood inside to stop them.

Seeing this, none of the people in the surrounding villages came and went in a hurry, thinking that they were arresting wanted criminals, for fear of being implicated, only a few people who had heard the singing of the two actors on the road were willing to stop for a while and ask for clarification. what happened.

The leading soldier had black hair and beard, but he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep eye sockets, and a tall and narrow nose. It was not very similar to the exquisite appearance of the Central Plains people, but closer to the Xianbei people.He said to the people who were interrogating the two actors: "It's been a long time since we've seen anyone who is proficient in temperament here. Now that we have caught two, why don't we stay and sing a song for us?"

Then at night, they held a small banquet in the pavilion in the urn city, built a high platform, and let Brother A Niu and Aunt Yao play music, sing and dance on it, to cheer them up and relieve their worries.

It was supposed to be a beautiful night, singing and dancing, everyone was very satisfied.It's just that a few soldiers deliberately entangled Murong Yan while they were drunk. At that time, she was still barefoot, stepping on the wooden steps of the high platform and preparing to leave.

I just heard them say: "Our brothers collected some money, little lady, can you stay with us for one night? Just for one night..." After finishing speaking, they rushed forward, grabbing Gu Yao's skirt and calf, tripped her to the ground.The other pawns booed after seeing this.

Murong Yan panicked for a moment, and she didn't dare to resist, she just looked at her brother A Niu with embarrassment.

Bai Feng didn't intend to hold back at this time, and hurried up to chase her away, pleading: "Masters, the villain went to Cangzhou to teach arts and preach, my wife, Yaogu, is also a performer, not a body!"

Not long after the uproarious laughter, the leading soldier walked over, stopped the foolish behavior of his subordinates, and said: "You guys are really drunk and cowardly!" The drunken soldiers were dragged out and given ten lashes each.

"Brother Niu, Aunt Yao, I don't teach you enough, and let my servants be so rude, I really deserve to be scolded! Yang has guarded the Qunma Pass for more than ten years, and it has been a long time since I heard the songs of Beizhen. I was dazed, I didn't notice how rude these servants are..."

"Could it be that Lord Yang is also from Xianbei?" Bai Feng asked Murong Yan, who was still in shock, by the arm.

"My father is Han and my mother is from Xianbei. It's just that I lived with my father since I was a child, and I almost forgot that I am also a Xianbei."

"Master Yang, the same is true for the little girl. I never expected that there would be someone of my background here!" Murong Yan smiled in a dazed way, and she became a little weaker, and moved closer to Bai Feng.

"It's getting late, you guys should go to rest soon, it's important to hurry tomorrow morning! Those guys told me that you are not a good person, what nonsense! I hope, in the future, I can hear the ballad sung by Aunt Yao again..."

Thanks to Yang Shoujiang's kindness and their status as wandering entertainers, Bai Feng and Murong Yan were lucky enough to escape.

Their journey is far from over, and every tomorrow is a new beginning.
