"Open the gates and welcome the guests!"

Yan Wuxing's voice was clear, and every word fell into the ears of the soldiers around him.

The lieutenant who followed him was full of suspicion, but he didn't dare to say a word, so he responded respectfully, and trotted down the tower to give the order.

The five-person-high gate with vermilion lacquer and gold nails opens to the east and west, and there are spear-wielding guards standing on both sides of the city in three steps. Xin Zi walked out from behind the horse with a smile, and saw Yan Wuxing walking out of the city gate alone, his armor shining in the dim light.

Xin Zi led the horse forward and stopped only two steps away from Yan Wudaugh.

Yan Wuxing did not bring a single soldier behind him, but he came to greet her alone, that is, he received her as a friend rather than a general defending the city. Xin Zi was grateful and gave him a long stroke.

Yan Wuxing hurriedly stepped forward to help Xin Zi up, and said softly: "Miss Xin has worked hard all the way, hurry up and go in and rest." Just now, I was not strict in my rule and disturbed the girl, and Fearless is here to compensate you. Then he said, "Did the crossbow bolt hurt you just now?" ”

Xin Zi hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm fine, thank you General Yan." It's really disturbing for you to open the city gate for me so late. ”

Yan Wuxing waved his hand, while saying, "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it", and on the other hand, he detoured behind Xin Zi to lead the horse for her, without the appearance of a general stationed in the border at all, but it was no different from Xin Zi's humble and polite appearance when he first met him in the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Xin Zi felt even more rare in her heart, and panicked forward to grab the reins, but Yan Wuxing insisted on leading the horse for her.

Xin Zi thought that there was still something to ask for, but she didn't insist, and said, "I still have two friends with me......"

Before the words fell, Yan Wuxing smiled and said: "It's better, even if you go into the city with us, it's okay to save me from coming out to meet again, where are they?" ”

On the other side, Li Yuan and Takemoto saw from a distance that this famous General Yan from the West was actually coming out to greet Xin Zi in person, and their hearts were settled, and they were surprised that Xin Zi really had a deep friendship with the young general as she said, and even to the point that this general could directly open the door to greet him regardless of his identity when the relationship between the East and the West was becoming increasingly tense, and saw Yan Wuxing turning around with a smile to find the figures of the two, and Xin Zi saw the place where the two were hiding early, and nodded lightly to signal the two to come out.

Li Yuan and Takemoto led the horses out and met Yan Wuxing one by one.

Yan Wuxing greeted the two with the etiquette of a friend, but instead of putting on a high-ranking and powerful appearance, he even put aside the identity that the two were just Xin Zi's entourage, and only regarded the two as Xin Zi's friends.

The two were surprised that Yan Wuxing was very different from the rumored image, and at the same time, they also had a lot of good feelings for him.

When Xin Zi and his party arrived at the foot of the city wall, it was already night, and when Yan Wuxing led the three of them into the city and relocked the city gate, they had already passed the time, Yan Wuxing and a few subordinates briefly explained a few words, and only brought two accompanying attendants, and then led Xin Zi and the three of them to the city.

Longwei Valley is a small city, before Xiyou decided to dig Longji Mountain to build a man-made pass, it was just a small fishing village that no one cared about, and it really prospered after Yan Wuxing was transferred to garrison here all the year round, the queen felt sorry for her righteous son living in this remote place all the year round, not as convenient and prosperous as Xijing, and instigated the emperor to raise funds to build a city along the south of Longwei Valley, and successively promulgated the policy of reducing taxes and promoting officials to attract talented and ambitious people, so as to build a small city in this decade.

But after all, the foundation of the town is still shallow, and it is dependent on the Longwei Valley this pass and the identity of Yan Wuxing, the royal son, to develop, although the basic shops and restaurants are also complete, but most of them are not large, and the soldiers are tired on weekdays to buy some wine and sit down to rest, and it seems a little reluctant to entertain the distinguished guests who come from afar.

So after Yan Wuxing led the three of them into Longwei Building, the largest restaurant in the city, although he found a spacious private room and sat down, Yan Wuxing was still a little cramped, and kept saying: "This small city is too simple, because it is adjacent to Longji Mountain and the territory of the witch, very few people pass by on weekdays, even if they come, most of them have important things to do, and they will not stay longer, so until now, there is not even a decent place to bring guests, you will have dinner here first, which can be regarded as washing the dust for you." Thinking that he was usually either in the barracks or guarding on the city tower, and then went to the training ground to watch the soldiers drill, in fact, there was no decent mansion or mansion for the three of them to rest, so he had to say: "At night, I am afraid that I will be wronged and the three of them will rest in the inn in this city......

Xin Zi saw that Yan Wuxing had already served a table of good wine and food while talking, and she was already very unhappy, and heard him talk about the accommodation arrangements, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Yan Gongzi is serious. The three of us have slept all the way, and we are already very grateful to be able to eat a full meal, not to mention that such a good environment and such a large table of dishes are already a preferential treatment that we can't think of.

"As for the accommodation...... Xin Zi paused, and then said, "I'm afraid that Gongzi will bother, but we don't plan to stay here for more on this trip, thank you Gongzi for your hospitality for this meal, and after dinner, we want to set off overnight......"

"How is this good?" Yan Wuxing sat up straight in surprise and looked at Xin Zi.

Xin Zi insisted: "Those things that happened before in Tokyo, I think Childe should have heard about it, how I came all the way from Dongyuan, even if Childe has never heard of it, he should be able to guess a thing or two." As for what we plan to go to Xijing this time, Gongzi is a smart person, and he shouldn't need me to say anything......" Speaking of this, Xin Zi paused, raised his head to look at Yan Wuxing, and said with a sincere gaze: "I don't hide it, I know, after this pass, even if Gongzi is willing to help me hide my whereabouts, there will definitely be ears and eyes in the palace to find out my position, and I have a lot of dreams at night, I just hope to rush to Xijing as soon as possible, meet with those nobles in the palace, and explain to them my intention." ”

Xin Zi's words were vague, but Yan Wuxing understood her worries, thinking of what happened to Zuo Qiyang before, knowing that the emperor had begun to purge the people around him for the change of Dongyuan, at this juncture, Xin Zi was going to Xijing, which was tantamount to hitting the muzzle of the gun, and as she said, the more she stayed in Xiyou, the more dangerous she would be rejected by Emperor Yan.
