The next day, those who entered the desert were Tuoba Yabu, Shan Yugong, Chan'er, Xue Feng, Huang Feng, Alai, and two Qiangnan men who were familiar with the Wuhuan Shahai. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After crossing the clan border, the group abandoned their horses and rode camels, dressed up as a caravan from a lonely country, and moved forward cautiously to facilitate the investigation along the road. Passing through the southern sand sea, fortunately, the passage was unimpeded, and it still took two days to reach the water supply point located in the southwest of Wuhuan King City.

The group rested a little outside the royal city, while Alai and Huang Feng slipped into the city to inquire about the news, and after a short time, they came back to join the crowd.

"The Qiangbei tribe came to the city two days ago, visited the Wuhuan king, and proposed the marriage of the two clans. King Wuhuan promised to send his relatives to his relatives that night, and agreed to send the county lord to his relatives in five days. There are three days left from today. Huang Feng said emphatically.

"The number of people in the greeting and sending off team is more than 30, and I am afraid it is not appropriate to act rashly. However, there is also a chance to get close to the county lord in these three days. Alai continued, "Tomorrow, the lord of the county will worship his ancestors with King Wuhuan, and according to the custom, he will have lunch in a restaurant outside the city before returning to the royal city. The next day, the county lord will go to the temple to pray for blessings, accompanied by his entourage. ”

"Well, before the Wuhuan County Lord sets off, we will try our best to prevent the peace affair from happening. Otherwise, you can only 'grab relatives' on the way. Shan Yugong said.

"I have an idea, do you want to try it?" Chan'er listened to what Alai said, and she had a plan in her heart, and her eyes sparkled.

"What's the plan for Sister Chan'er?"

"Let's divide into three groups and break through the ...... one by one"

~~~

On the morning of February 12, King Wuhuan and the county lord went to the ancestral hall on the outskirts of the city to worship their ancestors, and at noon they had a meal and rest in a restaurant not far from the city, and then returned to the royal city in the afternoon.

Tuoba Yabu and Xue Feng disguised themselves slightly, blended into the crowd of spectators, and used internal force to transmit the sound when the county lord's carriage and horse passed, so that the deliberately suppressed voice could be clearly transmitted to the ears of the county lord without attracting the attention of others.

"Everyone knows that this marriage is just in favor of the Qiangbei clan, and the lord of Wuhuan County is married, and he is only a side concubine in terms of identity, so I don't know how much anger he will suffer. Tuoba Yabu sighed.

"The eldest princess of Tingyu has not given birth so far, if the county lord can give birth to a little prince, his position should be stable. It's just that the eldest princess is willing to witness the king of Qiangbei sharing his love for many years with others. Xue Feng said.

"Moreover, the interests of the royal family and the Wuhuan clan are involved behind the two of them, and the king of Qiangbei is desperate to join forces with Wuhuan to confront the Nan country, which is still full of risks. And once he repents and retreats and re-establishes relations with the Uyghurs, there will be no future for Wuhuan. ”

"However, the source of the Qiangwu Snow Mountain is under the containment of the Qiangbei tribe, and the Wuhuan King has seen through all the truths, so how can he refuse?"

"Since King Wuhuan has agreed to this family matter, there is no room for him to withdraw his promise. But whether the county lord really married into Qiangbei is irrelevant. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"As long as the responsibility for the collapse of the marriage lies with Qiangbei, not Wuhuan, the king of Qiangbei will no longer have an excuse to threaten with water. ”

"So the county lord can create an illusion on the way to escape......"

"Exactly. This should be the only way to protect the Wuhuan clan. ”

After the county lord's chariot and horse walked away, the two figures quickly disappeared in place and returned to meet Shan Yugong and Chan'er and others.

The guidance of the first step was quite smooth, whether the Wuhuan County Lord listened to it or not, this path took a place in her mind. Xue Feng said to Chan'er.

"It's up to Big Brother Shan Yu tomorrow. Chan'er nodded, turned her gaze to Shan Yugong and said.

"Only I can accomplish such a heavy task. Shan Yugong's expression was quite serious, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

Early in the morning of the second day, the lord of Wuhuan, under the escort of his personal entourage, went to the Hanhai Temple in the west of the city to worship incense and worship the Buddha.

The day before, I heard that the "onlookers" said that it was not without influence on the county lord of Wuhuan, but it was a little confused and worried in the county lord's heart, and he came to the temple to worship the Buddha, in addition to completing the regular rituals, but also to ask for the safety of the trip. Walking to the front of the inner hall, the county lord deliberately withdrew the attendant guards, ordered everyone to wait outside the temple, and entered the temple alone to pray.

"The little girl Qianluo is going on a long trip soon, the future is uncertain, and her heart is uneasy. Ask the Bodhisattva to clear the fog and show the way for the little girl. Due to the fact that there were other incense people in the hall, the Wuhuan county lord did not say his identity, but after a whisper, he bowed three times in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

"I heard that a master came to the side hall to solve the sign, and it was very effective. The words of a woman beside her immediately attracted the attention of the Wuhuan County Lord, only to hear her say to the people who accompanied her, "You have suffered from nightmares recently, it is better to ask for a sign for peace of mind." ”

"According to my sister's words, I'll go and see the master. The woman who was traveling with her then said.

Seeing the two of them get up and walk away, the Wuhuan County Lord frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment in his heart, and then followed. After the Wuhuan County Lord left, Chan'er suddenly appeared in the hall, bowed sincerely to the Bodhisattva statue, and said softly:

"Today, the eldest brother is not disrespectful to the ghosts and gods, but I hope that the words can explain a thing or two for the pilgrims, so as to resist the rashness of the words. I implore the Bodhisattva to protect the living beings of the world from the scourge of war and to be safe and well-being. ”

After a stick of incense, the lord of Wuhuan County held a bamboo stick, silently, and walked back to the carriage in front of the gate of Hanhai Temple. The guards beside him looked at the county lord's thoughtful appearance, and said tentatively:

"County Lord, is there anything wrong with the temple?"

"There is a bloody light in the west, and it is not feasible. If you really can't avoid it, remember to turn south to the top. The Wuhuan County Lord muttered and repeated the words of the master in the side hall and said.

"County Lord?" the guard said in confusion.

"Nothing. The county lord of Wuhuan lowered his eyes and commanded instead, "Drive south, I want to go to the south of the city." ”

"Yes. ”

When the Wuhuan County Lord got into the carriage, Alai lowered his head slightly, walked briskly to the side, greeted Chan'er who walked out of the mountain gate, and bowed his head and said:

"Miss Chan'er, they are really heading south of the city. ”

"Although the 'Nan' in the signature doesn't mean that......" Chan'er shook her head lightly and said.

"There is only one camel farm in the south of the city. Huang Feng, they are ready, and they will wait for us next. ”

"Well, let's go. ”

Chan'er and Alai immediately took the trail to the south of the city, while the county lord of Wuhuan and his entourage rode around the main road, but arrived at the camel farm one step later than the two.

With the support of the guards, the county lord of Wuhuan jumped out of the carriage and walked aimlessly in the camel farm. Not far ahead, within the eye of the eye, Chan'er and Alai were choosing camels, and the two seemed to have chosen their favorite camels, and when they were about to pay two silver, they were suddenly stopped by two men, and a dispute between the two sides was about to break out.

"What do you want?" said Alai as he stood in front of Chan'er and shouted to the two.

"Our brother took a fancy to these two camels, and of course he wanted to buy them. "On the other side are two of Shan Yugong's men.

"This is what my master chose first, how can I make you stop you in the air. ”

"Oh, why do you say that you choose first? Is it difficult to do it, you call this camel, and it will promise you that it will not be successful. ”

"We're going to order these two today, and if you have any doubts, talk to me with the scimitar in my hand!" said the two men, laughing uncontrollably.

Ah Lai turned around and looked at Chan'er, and when Chan'er gave an order, he was going to fight with the two. At this time, the "passerby" Huang Feng suddenly appeared, the long sword flipped a few times in his hand, and then fixed in front of him, his voice was not high but implied domineering and said:

Everyone present clearly saw that it was this girl who chose the mount first. If your scimitars lack an adversary, they will be with you. ”

"The two of us have been in the desert for many years, how can we be afraid of you today. on!"

Without a word, the three of them fought. Huang Feng's sword was not out of the sheath, and his dexterity alone was enough to maneuver between the two, and within a tea time, the two of them fled in the wilderness.

A little farther away, the guard of the Wuhuan County Lord persuaded him:

"County Lord, there are a lot of people here, let's go back early. ”

"I see that this boy is very good, there will be no more mess, let's take a look at it again. The Wuhuan County Lord obviously rarely saw such a scene, and it was difficult to hide his curiosity for a while, but he stood in place and looked lively.

I saw Chan'er nodding to Huang Feng, and Alai also bowed his hand to show his gratitude.

"Thank you, Childe, for your righteous action. Chan'er spoke.

"This kind of thing often happens, and the owners of the camel farms open their doors to do business, and they dare not offend and cause trouble, which makes them more and more reckless. Huang Feng humbly replied and said.

"Childe seems to be familiar with this place. Alai said.

"In the desert all year round, it is indispensable to come here to buy camels. The two of you are here, but you also want to travel to the desert?"

"At the invitation of a friend, my master plans to cross the western desert and enter the Qiangbei tribe to taste the melting snow water of the Qiangwu Snow Mountain to make tea. ”

"The girl is so interested. But it's dangerous to walk through the desert, are there only two of you going out?"

"Yes. Chan'er paused and asked, "Fang Cai Gongzi said that he walks in the desert all year round, I don't know why?"

"I make a living as a guide, and this time I also have to escort two merchants to Qiangbei, so that I can choose to see camels in order to travel. ”

"When will Childe leave, can we go together?" Ah Lai's gaze turned from Huang Feng to Chan'er and asked. Chan'er then looked at Huang Feng.

"We will leave the morning after tomorrow. Huang Feng thought for a moment and said, "If there are two more people walking together, the merchant should not object." If the time is right, the girl can go with her. ”

"It's great to have a son to lead the way. Thank you first. Chan'er nodded in response.

"I'll buy the camel now, and the master and son will wait. Alley said, turning and walking away.

"We went around here, and it seems that there are also camels brought by a man who has been bought by the camel farm at a price. Chan'er gossiped to pass the time and said.

"In addition to the domesticated camels, it is also a transit place, where you can buy and sell camels and trade them, and the difference in price is not low, and the camel farm can rely on the difference to make a profit. After Huang Feng finished speaking, he fell silent.

After a while, Chan'er looked at the direction where the Wuhuan County Lord was and said:

"They're gone. ”

"Finally gone. Huang Feng turned around, looked at the carriage that was gradually moving away, relaxed and said, "If the princess asks a few more words, I'm afraid my subordinates won't answer." ”

"Lord Wuhuan watched for a long time, and must have heard that we were all going west, and if we met on the way, her guards would not be suspicious. ”

"yes. It seems that it happened to be on the way, but in fact, it was the camel team that followed Wuhuan, so that it was good to cross the vast desert and act cheaply on the way. The princess has such a clever mind, so she has such a wise plan. ”

"This Qianluo County Lord's name is very beautiful, and it is rare to be worthy of his name. Looking at her appearance, I admire you a lot. ”

The princess laughed. However, the subordinates will do their best to live up to the plans of the princess and King Qiangnan. ”

"Well, if it wasn't just for the big brother in Hanhai Temple, my original plan was not as effective as it is today. ”

The three of them immediately returned to Nanzhai and could be picked up in the Qiangbei River Valley before February 16. Once the Wuhuan County Lord disappeared on the way, the Qiangbei tribe would only search eastward for a while, and the Qiangbei River Valley would be the target of a leaf barrier. ”

"It's a little tiring after a long morning. When Alai comes back, let's go to have lunch with Brother Tuoba and Big Brother. ”

"Yes. ”
