Chapter 199
"Princess, he is probably hungry like this, right?" There was a very gentle voice.
"Feed him a cup of milk, don't feed him someone who is too thirsty, don't choke him" another voice.
The second sound was not as delicate as the first one, but it made Li Changwen feel that he heard a long zither moving vividly.
Li Changwen opened his eyes with all his strength, and the blur in front of him gradually became clear, and Li Changwen blushed.
Because he was holding a woman's finger... like a breastfeeding doll.
Maybe it was too close to Shen, maybe it was the sunlight that shone on his eyes. When he saw the woman at first sight, Li Changwen didn't see anything clearly, only a black gauze flying in the wind, as if a wisp of black smoke was dissipating in the wind.
She was so unreal that she would disappear at any time, but Li Changwen couldn't even reach out to hold her, so he could only hold her finger in his mouth.
Someone slapped him on the top of his head, "What are you doing with a lewd thief holding someone's finger in his mouth? The princess is looking at you with pitifulness, so she wipes your lips with water!"
Li Changwen opened his mouth awkwardly, letting the girl in black take her fingers back, and touched his head casually, "Feed him some milk, hurry up and dig them out, don't delay the journey."
She stood up and turned toward the setting sun in the west.
Li Changwen tried hard to raise his head and see the girl standing in the sunshine and the wind. At this moment, the sunset surged like a tide, covering the vast Gobi Desert. The sand and stones reflected the rippling light like the water surface. The girl in a black gauze dress walked away, as if walking on the water surface, with her slender silhouettes, which would be swallowed by the light tide at any time.
That kind of beauty that is suffocating, beauty is in a moment and has no fate with eternity.
Li Changwen looked blankly, and even the girl squatting beside him handed the silver cup of sheep's milk to his mouth. The girl was angry and poured a glass of snow-white goat milk on Li Changwen's head.
"Don't look at it if you are not good! Don't you understand? What are you staring at our princess? Carefully dig your dog's eyes!" The girl with round face widened her eyes and stretched her fingers to Li Changwen's eyes to scare him.
"Don't be stingy!" Li Changwen quickly said loudly, "I am just grateful to the princess sister for saving her life. I will take a look at her benefactor twice!
”
"Don't listen to them shouting, I'm just an ordinary woman, my name is Platinum, just call me Sister Platinum." The girl who was leaving stopped and turned around.
Only then did Li Changwen get a chance to face her. The girl was wearing a thin gauze dress, her hair was combed against her hair like those women of Shamin, and tied it behind her head. A layer of sterling silver silk thread on her head, a silver jewelry hanging between her forehead, and an emerald as big as a thumb was embedded on it. Her face was covered with a layer of black veil, only slender and bright eyes were revealed, and a faint blush was faint. Li Changwen couldn't see her face, but she didn't suspect that she was a peerless beauty. He even felt that the girl smiled at him.
So he grinned stupidly and responded with a smile, "Hello Sister Platinum."
A slave knelt beside the girl, and the girl stepped on his shoulder to climb the shoulder chariot next to her. The curtain was lowered and completely disappeared. The shoulder chariot was something that Li Changwen like a little man dared not imagine. It was ten steps long, with a color of gold paint, outlined a hundred birds with pearl white, and covered with golden gauze. Sixteen burly slaves surrounded the shoulder chariot, all shaved their hair, their exposed shoulders were tattooed, and they were wearing crescent-like scimitars around the sheath, and pearls and gems were inlaid on their scalp.
If it were in the royal capital Luoyi City, let alone the princess, even the princess would not have such a ceremonial guard.
"Platinum." Li Changwen silently recited the name, it was both strange and nice.
"The ancestor of Platinum County?" Xiao Shi next to Li Changwen suddenly said.
"My grandmother! If you don't speak clearly, just say less! What a beautiful name, it will become an old monster when you get to your mouth!" Li Changwen couldn't help but spit on him.
Xiao Shi ignored him and looked at the luxurious shoulder chariot and thoughtfully.
In the wind, the quaint and clear sound of clanging continued. Not far away, a large group of camels were carrying heavy goods and leisurely rubbing against each other's fur. Only then did Li Changwen realize that the sound of the iron horse he had just heard was actually a camel bell.
It was late at night, and Master Li Changwenyan and his group sat around the fire in the tent, covered with blankets, and roasted large pieces of tender lamb chops on the fire.
The camel caravan found that it was already sunset when they were dug out, and it was dark before they could go far. The hostess didn't seem to be in a hurry to rush, so she ordered the tent to be laid and generously distributed one to the guests in distress. What's even more rare is that the people who were exploring the way forward soon heard the news, saying that the caravan, Zuojun and the horse thieves were fine, and they didn't come back to find them, but because they had dozens of hard crossbows in the cargo, which were forbidden items, they were detained by the garrison. Master Yan, Ge Qian and Xiao Shi both breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension between them eased a lot.
"It's not a big deal. On the side of the garrison, the princess said that she would help find someone to clear the relationship and fine some money, and that's fined her some money." The slave who came to report the news said lightly before leaving.
"What a big and elegant!" Li Changwen exclaimed, "Let's hold our thick legs... Oh no, Sister Platinum's legs must be thin and long! But there are garrisons in the Gobi Desert? Why have I never heard of it?"
"It turns out that this is the territory of Song State, and the garrison is a Song army, mainly managing the business road between Song State and the royal capital." Ge Qian said, "Now that Song State is no longer there. I heard that the army is still there and they are receiving the royal food and salary. However, I have never seen the garrison when I traveled to this Gobi Desert. I heard that most of them are stationed in the east of Wushan Mountain, which is 300 miles here. I don't know why I moved here to set up a defense."
"I'm curious about another thing. Since the garrison rarely comes here, how could this Princess Platinum have such a strong relationship? If you bring contraindicated items and pay a fine?" Master Yan held the long knife and stared at the bonfire.
"Sister Platinum is obviously a wealthy family!" said Li Changwen.
"There are only despairs in the Gobi Desert, either horse thieves, merchants, or soldiers, and no wealthy families." Master Yan said coldly, "The village oasis is pitifully few, and the sand people are all poor."
