Raising the Demon

Chapter 713

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

Mr. An stood in front of the car, leaning on the railing with both hands, looking at the setting sun in the distance, couldn't help but think of these two lines of poetry.

It has been several months since the poems have been handed down. Whenever Mr. An looks at the scenery in front of him, he will carefully evaluate these two poems, measure each word carefully, and try to change even one of them.

But every time, he ended in failure. No matter which word he changed, he would feel that the charm of it was lost.

At first, he drove here just to confirm these two lines of poems.

But later, he didn't know whether it was because of these two lines of poems or because of the sunset, he gradually fell in love with this lonely and desolate scenery.

Excited to watch the sunset.

Frustrated to watch the sunset.

If I get rich, I want to watch the sunset.

If you are disappointed, you have to come to see the sunset.

As the leading yamen in Mobei Prefecture, he has enough time and freedom, and no one interferes with his little sentiments.

My father felt that he was a bit out of place with the other yamen, but as long as he didn't cause trouble, his father was satisfied.

But the other yamen felt that he seemed to have changed his temper.I don't like drinking flower wine anymore, and I don't like molesting little girls on the street anymore.Those who bully men and women like to hear and see things are not done anymore.

I don't know what I'm doing every day.If it suddenly disappeared one day, it must be here.

Gradually, those cronies and friends who gathered around him in the past disappeared, leaving only a book boy, a coachman, two guards, and an old servant by Mr. An's side.

But after getting rid of the hustle and bustle, Mr. An seemed to feel that everything became more pleasing to the eye.

Sometimes, he would reflect on his previous life in the government office where he bullied men and women, and felt sincerely puzzled and ashamed of what he had done.

My father said that this is a stage that everyone goes through, called growing up.

Perhaps, he has really grown up.

But it seemed to be a little different, he always felt that whenever the sun fell on the horizon, there always seemed to be something more.

Can't see the feeling that can't be touched.

At this time, the sun fell to the horizon again, and the sand all over the ground was reflected into endless gold. Whenever this time, Mr. An seemed to lose his mind for a moment, thinking of the legendary treasures that existed in the endless desert everywhere. from the land of treasures.

"My lord, it's going to be dark soon, we have to go back, but the master told you to go back early tonight, the master is going to entertain other adults." said the old servant who was standing by.

The old servant is an old servant who watched Mr. An grow up. When Mr. An was ignorant, he beat and scolded him frequently. Now he has repented and treats the old servant like a relative.

"Master, if you go back late, maybe you will be punished by the master again." The book boy next to him also said.

Shutong is the grandson of the old servant. He grew up with Mr. An and was once bullied and scolded by Mr. An, but now he has long been regarded as a confidant.

The two guards are also a little nervous. These two are old people who have followed An's family for generations. They are loyal to An's family. A middle-aged man said: "Master, the sand robbers have become more and more rampant recently. It is a long way to go back to Mobei Mansion. them……"

"Let's go." Mr. An turned around and got into the carriage. The coachman didn't say a word, he waved his whip, and the horse turned around in the direction of Mo Beicheng.

The coachman is a mute, but he used to be the follower of the dead mother. Although he can't speak, the horses are more obedient one by one.

Just as the vehicle turned around, there was a sudden gust of horseshoes in the distance.

Mobei is located in the westernmost part of the kingdom of heaven, close to the desert, the land is barren and barren, and the pillar industry is the taxation of sand people's sand gold.Mobei Prefecture is poor, and his yamen is also poor, but the prices of various commodities are very high, even for jade, they are much higher than other places.Except for the cloud boat used for official business, even An Zhizhou was reluctant to take his own cloud boat.

Most of the means of transportation here are horses.

There is a kind of thorn grass with yellow flowers blooming in the desert. After the wild horse eats it, it runs fast, with four hooves blowing the wind, and it is just a matter of leisure to travel thousands of miles a day.

It's just that although this kind of horse runs fast, it is short, small and ugly, far inferior to the tall horses produced in other places, and is not liked by people in other places. Only Mobei Prefecture uses this kind of horse.

And the hoofbeats of this kind of horse are much denser than those of other horses. When a horse runs, it feels airtight. At this time, there are at least ten horses' hoofbeats like a storm.

"No, it's Sand Pirates!" The old housekeeper's face changed, "Go! Go!"

"Hahahaha!" A smug laugh came from the other side before the carriage started running, "Run? Where? I let you run away last time, and I will never let you run away again this time! No Let your father obediently take money to redeem you, and I will not be called a one-eyed wolf!"

While speaking, the group of Sand Bandits had dispersed and surrounded the carriage.

The leader of the group, with a swollen face, blind eyes, and a black eye patch, was a one-eyed dragon.

Seeing the one-eyed dragon, the old butler's complexion became even worse. He lowered his voice and said, "Master, the second horse runs the fastest. Let's hold these people back. You ride the second horse and run quickly..."

"Old man, what are you daydreaming about? Do you still want to run away from my one-eyed wolf?" The one-eyed wolf laughed.

"One-eyed wolf, don't you know who our young master is? If you dare to stop our young master, aren't you afraid that the cloud army will overwhelm you and destroy you?"

"Destroy us? Yunjun himself was beaten by the fierce wolf brother, and he didn't dare to stand out. When we hide in the desert, do you think Yunjun dares to come to the desert to find us?" The one-eyed wolf was proud laughing out loud.

"You..." The old butler was trembling with anger, but he was at a loss for a while.

The one-eyed wolf is right. The cloud army stationed in Mobei Prefecture is mostly to defend Xia Junguo. The cloud army they can mobilize is pitifully small, and this cloud army is not enough for the Mobei fierce wolf at all. , They have long been afraid of being beaten.

"One-eyed wolf, you only want to be a sand thief to ask for money. If that's the case, I'll go with you. If you let my servants go back and report the news, my father will definitely redeem me with money. How about this?" Ann The young master said.

He knew that to the One-Eyed Wolf, everyone else was meaningless except him, but sand robbers like the One-Eyed Wolf most often did it by killing everyone else.

Mr. An absolutely does not want this to happen.

"Let them go? They are also lackeys in official uniforms, and you all deserve to die!" The one-eyed wolf's eyes flashed fiercely, "Today I will eliminate harm for the people!"

"If the fierce wolf in Mobei said so, I would believe it. You one-eyed wolf has been driven out of the wolf pack, so what right do you have to say such a thing?" Mr. An said with a cold smile, "If that's the case, you must kill or cut Do whatever you want, I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

After all, Mr. An is also from a famous family, and he has also practiced the art of Qi training. He has a long sword hanging from his waist, and his weapon is imposing. He is not an ordinary scholar who is weak.

"Protect the young master!" The two guards drew out their weapons and planned to strike. No matter what, they had to fight a bloody way to prevent the young master from being captured by the sand robbers.

……

In the desert, came two figures. They were somewhat similar in shape, both were tall, with rough skin and weathered faces.

One of them had a scar on his face, across his eyebrows and cheeks, making him look extremely fierce.

But the other person has a simple and honest face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks like a hunter in the mountains, the big brother next door.

"Finally out of the desert." The simple and honest man said with a sigh.

"You are the first one I have ever seen on foot in the desert. And you are still alive... Really..." The other person shook his head helplessly, and said, "Now that you have walked out of the desert, I will not accompany you , brother, take care all the way."

"Take care." The simple and honest man clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Wolf for accompanying me all the way. If there is a destiny in the future, we will drink again."

"Okay, drink good osmanthus wine!" Brother Wolf laughed loudly, drooling as he spoke.

The honest man smiled slightly and was about to move forward, but he frowned and asked, "What's going on in front?"

The wolf brother was just about to turn around and leave, when he heard the words, he also looked in the direction the honest man pointed, and said, "It's not good... I'll go and have a look!"

The two quickened their pace and walked out of the desert.

Halfway through the journey, Brother Wolf had already seen the two opposing sides, and immediately said angrily, "One-eyed wolf, this bastard, he never changed his mind!"

He strode forward, shouted angrily, and said, "One-eyed wolf, you are so bold!"

"Big...Brother!" Seeing that brother wolf, the one-eyed wolf was so majestic just now, but now he was a bit shorter out of thin air, and almost fell to his knees, and some of the others had already knelt on the ground, kowtowed : "The master!"

"You people, how dare you call me the head of the family?" Brother Wolf was furious, "I don't have brothers like you in Mobei Jilang!"

This wolf brother is the fierce wolf of Mobei.

He glanced at the other party, and shouted angrily: "One-eyed wolf, it's all right if you rob others, Mr. An is someone I can never rob, don't you know?"

"Master... I... I really don't know... this... Mr. An..." The one-eyed wolf almost shrank into a ball, his face full of grievances.

"Mr. An, where is the fierce wolf order I gave you?" Mobei fierce wolf asked.

"I lost it." Mr. An said indifferently, "You are a sand thief, and I am an official, how can I protect myself with your favor?"

"You..." Mobei fierce wolf couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and said, "How could I recognize you, a pedantic brother?"

"I'm not your brother." Mr. An shook his head, Mobei fierce wolf said: "I recognize you as a brother, that's enough. Brother, how do you want to punish the one-eyed wolf?"

"Let him be arrested without a fight, and put him in a prison awaiting trial." Mr. An said.

The fierce wolf in Mobei rolled his eyes and said: "You know that I can't do it... No matter how hard I am, I am the leader of the sand bandits. No matter how bad the one-eyed wolf is, he used to be my brother. How can I send my brother to you?" In the hands of officials."

"Hmph." Mr. An snorted, since that's the case, what else do you say?
The fierce wolf in Mobei looked at Mr. An, then at the one-eyed wolf whose face was pale with fright, and said helplessly: "One-eyed wolf, you bastard, immediately take your people and get out of the execution hall. Let you accept the family law!"

"Thank you Master, thank you Master!" Hearing that he was going to be punished, the one-eyed wolf was extremely happy, because he knew that he could return to the pack of wolves again.

Wouldn't it be nice to eat delicious food and drink spicy food from now on, and still be able to fight against the cloud army.
