The vast desert is endless, and the lonely city is empty on all sides.

The horses are on the moraine, and the sun is falling in the sand

- Don. Xu Tang

The clouds are like fire, the scorching sun is slanting westward, the remnant sun is like blood, and the endless yellow sand reflects the scorching heat, only the long wind whistling by.

"Jingle Bell ~ Ding Dong ~."

Accompanied by the melodious camel bells, a group of camel caravans slowly descended from the peaks of the sand mountains, each of the camel caravans was dressed in white scarves to cover their faces, and white robes were wrapped.

Even in this kind of dry weather, everyone is on sharp alert.

A guide who walked in the front looked at the sky, turned around and whispered respectfully to the tall man in white beside him: "Great Merchant, there is the only inn in the ghost sea in front, let's stay and rest, if you go down, the temperature will drop very low, and it will be difficult to move an inch without light." ”

Hearing this, the white-clothed man who was called a big businessman looked at the shorter man in white walking beside him: "Xiaobai? ”

Autumn leaves put their hands on the pergola and looked into the distance, and then nodded: "Okay." ”

It's been almost a whole day since they've come from the last oasis, and no matter how good the crane guards are, they can't withstand such a sun.

They were originally ghosts living underground, and they were accustomed to the cold, and it was not easy for them to do such a daytime ascetic.

"This ghost sea is not inaccessible, how can there be an inn, what do you rely on to make a living?" Akiba Bai was a little curious.

This time, Ah Chu insisted that he had found some treasure, and he had to take a trip to the legendary Death Sand Sea, although the rumors were exaggerated, I heard that the once mysterious Death Sand Sea is now part of the Silk Road, but it is easier to get lost.

But she really didn't feel at ease, and she couldn't screw him, so she thought of secretly following him on such a trip, and asked Prime Minister Zhou Yu to assist her princess Xiao Yue'er to supervise the country.

Although Xiao Yue'er is young, her speech and demeanor are so old that she almost thinks that the girl has passed through like her, so she is still very relieved.

The only thing that worries me is probably ...... Forehead...... The young girl seems to be a little girlish to Zhou Yu, but she doesn't object to the handsome uncle who likes peach blossom eyes.

She was thinking about it when the guide's words drew her attention back.

"This is now part of the Silk Road, although it will take a long detour to Daqin if you pass here, but it ......." The middle-aged guide had a strange and expectant expression.

"But what?" Baili Chu asked.

The middle-aged guide smiled, with a salivating look: "But the boss there is very special, and I want to go to the boss, but the price is not cheap." ”

As soon as Autumn Leaf Bai saw the appearance of the middle-aged guide, he smiled secretly in his heart: "It turned out that I was going for the beauty." ”

The exotic beauties here are indeed very charming, and she is itching to see them, and she almost made the old mistake of liking to be close to beauties before.

"Beauty, huh." Bai Lichu pressed his face towel and snorted coldly, without saying much.

Akiba Bai chuckled, her husband's disdain and arrogance were almost overflowing.

The middle-aged guide didn't pay attention, as if his whole heart was on the beauty he was about to see, he just touched his mustache and drove the camel forward: "Gurgle~ My camel runs, my beauty~." ”

Akiba Bai and Baili Chu couldn't help but laugh low when they heard the ridiculous tone, and Qi Qi led the people to drive the camels and follow closely behind the guide.

After all, this is a desert, and if you accidentally get lost, it is still very troublesome.

Not long after, after the scarlet sun of a steaming wheel fell into the desert horizon, Akiba-shiro saw sandcastle-like buildings in the distance.

She couldn't help but be stunned, she didn't expect the inn here to look like this, was it actually a sandcastle?

In the distance, she could see that there were already many camels standing outside the desert castle, and it seemed that there were still many caravans here.

"By the way, what's the inn here called?" She asked casually.

The guide smiled and said, "Dragon Gate Inn." ”

Akiba Bai listened to the name, paused, and secretly said that this was about a coincidence.

However, in the desolate desert where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, it is called the Longmen Inn...... Aside from coincidences, isn't it really a black store?

Bai Li Chu seemed to ask casually: "What is the background of the boss here?" ”

Seeing that the sand castles were getting closer and closer, and the air began to fill the air with the smell of barbecue, the guide couldn't help but close his eyes in enjoyment: "It's not clear what the boss here is in the background, she has been here with her lover for some years, and her lover's barbecue skills are really unique." ”

"Oh, what's her name?" Autumn leaves are interested.

It must not be easy to deal with jackals, poisonous snakes, sandstorms, and bandit pawns in the depths of this desert.

"She'......." The guide shook his head and said: "Her name is Jin Zhuyu, the so-called eyes don't know Jin Zhuyu, it's her." ”

Autumn leaves almost didn't hold the chew of his camel and rolled off the camel's back: "Golden ...... Inlay...... Jade......! ”

"Do you know her?" Baili Chu quickly stretched out his long arms and fished his own camel before his wife fell to the ground.

Qiu Yebai froze, raised his hand to look at the flag embroidered with the four big characters of the Longmen Inn not far away, and muttered to himself with a strange expression: "I know it, I don't know it." ”

Don't you think it's what she thinks?

Is it really a coincidence that the proprietress in the depths of the desert, the Dragon Gate Inn, and the one called Jin Jiyu?

She looked at the tall sand castle, her mood was extremely complicated, there was a strange expectation, and there was also an inexplicable uneasiness.

"Little white ......." Bai Li Chu looked at the soul in his arms, and slightly narrowed his charming and gloomy eyes: "Do you also have a concubine in the desert?" ”

Autumn leaves almost rolled off the camel again, and glanced at Baili Chu angrily: "Vinegar God, don't be jealous." ”

"Hmph." Baili Chu snorted lightly and ignored her.

Qiu Yebai was not in the mood to coax him like he did on weekdays, just staring at the four big characters of the Dragon Gate Inn on the banner in a daze.

Until they approached the sandcastle and were greeted by the tall and small sophomores who welcomed the guests.

"Are you here to stay, do you want to eat? Do camels need any forage or beans? The green-eyed little two skillfully drove all their camels into another hut, and after separating from the camels of the other caravan, he ran over to greet them.

Yibai took out a bag of silver and put it in the small second-hand house: "Come to ten upper rooms, and then buy ten tables of barbecue and wine banquets." ”

Xiao Er weighed the silver bag in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, guest officer, your money is only enough for three upper rooms, and we only have one upper room, and the rest are middle rooms." ”

Yibai couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this: "There are a hundred taels of silver here, and it is more than enough to charter your inn in the Central Plains!" ”

The shopkeeper was still smiling, and his tone was just as hard: "Oh, then you can go to live in the Central Plains." ”

"You ——!" A white and feminine handsome face instantly became gloomy.

But the shopkeeper seemed to be unconscious, and turned around to leave, but Qiu Yebai immediately stopped him: "This little second brother, how much do you want, let's just give it according to the rules, and the room that should be arranged is troublesome for you to arrange." ”

"Or is this guest a discerning one." The little two turned his face to look at Akiba Bai with a smile, looked at her, and then gestured inward.

Qiu Ye Bai and Bai Li Chu glanced at each other, and then followed the shopkeeper to the door, Yibai saw that his master had no opinion, and it was not good to say anything, so he only beckoned people to move things and follow in.

Qiu Yebai handed Xiao Er a small bag of gold in his arms, and looked at Xiao Er's serious money, and couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, Longmen Inn is really a black shop, but I don't know if that gold inlaid jade is a beautiful woman with all kinds of charms?

She suddenly began to look forward to it.

However, she didn't see Jin Jiyu for the first time, but saw another "acquaintance".

Or rather, a familiar name.

"Huai'an shopkeeper, there are new guests here today, and you want our barbecue feast by name, can you still arrange it today?" Xiao Er led them into the inner hall, then opened his voice and shouted upstairs.

The inner hall was extremely lively, many caravans of people from three sects and nine streams were bustling with each other occupying the table and laughing with all kinds of strange language, eating meat and drinking a lot, Autumn Leaf Bai was attracted by the lively scene in the inner hall, but suddenly heard Xiao Er roaring in such a voice, she almost tripped people again.

Huai'an?

"This shopkeeper won't just be surnamed Zhou, let's call Zhou Huai'an." Akiba Bai couldn't help but mumble to himself.

Xiao Er on the side turned back a little surprised: "Yo, our big shopkeeper is easy to not see through the surname, you know the name of our shopkeeper, could it be that the guest officer also knows our big shopkeeper?" ”

This little two is a loud voice, and after the voice came up, soon a warm female voice sounded from upstairs: "Oh, is it a regular customer?" ”

Autumn leaves white as soon as he looked up, was seeing a pale yellow figure step downstairs, the woman wore Loulan Begonia wide-legged pants, a pair of delicate elbow embroidered shoes on her small feet embellished with a dragon's eye pearl, the waist is slender and not a hand, hanging a string of small golden wind chimes, and a yellow delicate vertical collar embroidered sunrise placket shirt on the upper body, chic and atmospheric.

Only a fair-skinned goose egg face but unusually beautiful, with a beautiful nose and beautiful eyes, a long hair tied with a small crown of purple gold on the top of the head, and many slender pigtails hanging down behind him, looking both heroic and feminine.

A typical Loulan woman's outfit is lined with the face of the Central Plains beauty, but it is mixed into a charming temperament, which makes people can't take their eyes off, such a beautiful orchid-like beauty appears in the desert, which is really to arouse coveting, but her beautiful eyes in autumn have a magic that seems to be able to see through the long time and people's hearts, which makes people dare not make mistakes.

When she appeared, the originally noisy inn was silent.

Qiu Yebai looked at the female shopkeeper named Zhou Huai'an, and was both shocked and suspicious in his heart, shocked that there was really a person named Zhou Huai'an here, could it be that his guess was true.

But it is ...... who are suspicious Why did she suddenly feel that the shopkeeper beauty in front of her looked a little familiar?

She touched her chin and thought to herself, could it be that she really owed a romantic debt that she didn't remember before?

------Off topic------

Come, guess, who is this, who is the gold inlaid jade and Zhou Huai'an~ hehe
