Mu Chen and Shen Yueying have been walking west for more than ten days, and the two of them are not in too much of a hurry, because the midsummer is always as hot as ever, and the west is not as cool as the south, so the two of them can only choose to go slowly.

Mu Chen watched the sunset set, and there was a city under the light of the sunset, and this city looked particularly desolate under the light of the sunset, like a lonely city in the boundless wilderness.

"The front is Gu Ming City, stay here for one night tonight, and you can go to the capital tomorrow night" Mu Chen looked at the ancient city in front of him and let out a sigh, and said slowly to Shen Yueying, "It's getting dark, let's go"

Shen Yueying nodded, and the two of them waved their horsewhips and rushed towards Gu Ming City.

The sun had completely set, and the two of them had made their way through the darkness until they finally arrived at Guming City.

When the two men reached the city gate, they saw a group of soldiers guarding the gate stopping them.

A soldier in the lead looked at Mu Chen and asked, "Who are you?"

Mu Chen smiled and said, "We are from the Southern Dynasty."

The soldier who took the lead didn't pay attention to Mu Chen's words, but his eyes had been taken away by Shen Yueying's beauty.

Mu Chen saw the obscene look in the man's eyes, and immediately said, "This big brother, let's go into the city."

The man was a little unhappy when Mu Chen said this, and said with a straight face, "There have been frequent wars with Tubo recently, how do I know if you are a spy of Tubo?"

Shen Yueying was a little angry when she heard this, an unknown soldier actually dared to suspect that Princess Anguo was a spy of the enemy country, and no one could bear it, not to mention that these soldiers and the like were generally the targets of Shen Yueying's bullying since childhood.

Shen Yueying said sharply, "We are all from the Central Plains, open your eyes and take a good look"

As soon as the soldier heard Shen Yueying reprimanding him, he laughed instead of being angry, and said, "Little girl, don't worry, if you want to enter the city, you must search your body" As he spoke, he put his hand on Shen Yueying's lap.

With a "poof", Muchen's rainbow was already half unsheathed, resting on the soldier's head, and said coldly, "Take my hand away"

The soldier immediately let go of his hand and said in a panic, "This hero, I was wrong, don't kill me"

Mu Chen didn't speak, and put the sword back.

As soon as the sword left his neck, the soldier immediately changed his face and said angrily, "Good boy, you dare to intimidate me, come on, arrest them"

Mu Chen said coldly, "If you dare to do it, believe it or not, my sword will be more than half unsheathed."

People, especially those who rely on power, may be more effective in some ways.

The soldier was a little flustered, looked at his subordinates, and found that none of his subordinates were not panicked, and cursed secretly, "Let them in"

Mu Chen said, "Thank you, drive" The two walked towards the city in the night.

The two walked into the city and, according to the plan, found the inn to rest.

In the inn, the people who ran the hall looked at Mu Chen and Shen Yueying, and there was some panic in their expressions, even the shopkeeper looked weak, and the two of them kept muttering about something.

Mu Chen and Shen Yueying sat at the innermost table to eat, and Mu Chen also noticed the strange behavior of these two people, so he wanted to test the two of them.

He put down the chopsticks in his hand and sat quietly with his eyes closed.

The shopkeeper and the running hall felt very strange, so they kept looking at Mu Chen.

Suddenly, Mu Chen slapped his hand on the scabbard of Jinghong, and the shopkeeper and the running hall immediately shook their whole bodies, and cold sweat broke out instantly.

Mu Chen smiled slightly, removed his hand again, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

Shen Yueying asked strangely, "Brother Mu, what are you doing?"

Mu Chen smiled, "It's okay, I saw two sneaky mice, and they were already scared away" After speaking, he glanced at the shopkeeper and the running hall with cold eyes.

At this time, there was no one else in the entire inn except for the four people, it was already late at night, and all the guests had already slept.

Being maliciously glanced at by such a person at this time made the two of them immediately weaken, and they knew that it was Mu Chen hinting at them.

The two were about to leave, but they heard Mu Chen say, "Why did the shopkeeper leave? Could it be that you are a mouse?"

The shopkeeper immediately dripped, and said, "Guest, where is this talk?"

Mu Chen didn't speak, but Shen Yueying said, "Shopkeeper, do you have rats in this store?"

The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "This girl is joking, we are the most luxurious inn in the entire ancient city, how can there be mice?"

When Mu Chen heard this, he immediately said, "Since it is the most luxurious inn, why does the shopkeeper only dare to talk about people behind his back, is this inn also magnificent on the surface, but flashy?"

The shopkeeper walked to Mu Chen's side and said slowly, "This young man's observation is really good."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "My sword makes it better, do you want to try it?"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he took two steps back and said, "The young man laughed."

Mu Chen smiled, "Since you are talking about the two of us, then you should also let us know what we have worth talking about."

The shopkeeper sighed, waved his hand at Runtang, signaling him to close the door, and Runtang's eyesight was also very good, and he quickly ran over to close the door.

The shopkeeper looked around again, and then said, "Don't come here?"

Mu Chendao "Not bad"

The shopkeeper said, "That's right, you two may not know, the country has not been peaceful recently"

Shen Yueying was immediately a little excited when she heard this, and asked, "What's going on?"

The shopkeeper "Since the two of you have come to the Western Dynasty, it is not a bad thing to be careful after knowing it"

"Last year, a prince of the Northern Dynasty took out the envoy to Tibet to increase the relationship between the Northern Dynasty and Tibet."

Mu Chen naturally knew that what this prince was talking about was Sima Yunxuan, his friend of the eight worships, and when he heard that he had something to do with Sima Yunxuan at this time, he was also interested.

But I heard the shopkeeper continue, "Our country has been at war with Tibet, and in recent years, we have lost several cities, and our country has a bad relationship with the Southern Dynasty, so we can only ask for help from the nearest Northern Dynasty, and the emperor of the Northern Dynasty will immediately send troops to rescue when he hears it."

Mu Chen interrupted, "What about the Northern Dynasty? Didn't they have Western Xia to do it?"

The shopkeeper said: "The Western Xia army retreated half a year ago under the joint attack of officers and soldiers and beggars. That's why the Northern Dynasty had soldiers to help, but as soon as the soldiers of the Northern Dynasty came, Tubo was very angry, so they detained which prince came to blackmail the Northern Dynasty to retreat."

Mu Chen was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How is that prince now?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's also a strange fate, it is rumored that this prince fell in love with the princess of Tubo at first sight, plus the Huashan faction is also related to this prince, and sent someone to rescue the prince of the Northern Dynasty."

Mu Chen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to the shopkeeper again, "So the two countries joined forces to defeat Tubo, and this Guming City was only recaptured last year."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "In that case, Tubo shouldn't come to offend."

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Originally, this was the case, but recently the leader of the Five Poisons Sect in Miao Jiang was killed, so Dali sent troops on the charge of offending other countries by people from the Central Plains, and allied with Tubo to attack our country all the way, and it seems that it is about to hit this Guming City."

As soon as Mu Chen heard that this was related to him, he was immediately speechless.

Shen Yueying's eyes also showed sadness, and she asked, "What does the Five Poisons Sect have to do with the Dali Imperial Court whether it is dead or alive?"

The shopkeeper said, "Dali has long wanted to take advantage of the chaos in the world to invade our country, this is just a pretext"

Mu Chen was silent for a moment and said, "So you're worried that we are spies of Tubo or Dali?"

The shopkeeper nodded embarrassedly and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed."

Mu Chen smiled and said, "It's me who is really clumsy," After speaking, a sword was placed on the shopkeeper's neck, and he asked, "Say, who are you?"
