CHAPTER XLV

But because of its ordinary shape, it bears a 90 percent resemblance to the daggers that can be found everywhere in stalls. Therefore, many people see silver light and cannot imagine its power.

Yun Yi didn't expect that this famous dagger would be carried by Ping Yao.

Just take it with you. He also used the world's No. 1 dagger to cut vegetables.

Yun Yi suddenly had the feeling of traveling with a local tyrant.

Ping Yao's cooking skills are very good. The sparse and ordinary ingredients were placed in her hands, and they were lightly made into a big meal.

The dim light shone on the food, and on the wall opposite Yun Yi, Ping Yao's shadow kept swaying with the candle flame.

It shook him a little.

These dishes are all modern. Yun Yi hadn't seen them appear for a long time.

Some of them are dishes that are not even available in the Qiansu Building.

Ping Yao didn't notice Yun Yi's distraction, she was still happy to eat, and she helped Yun Yi pick up vegetables.

"Is it delicious?"

Yun Yi nodded. "It's special."

Yun Yi thought, apart from her, there is no one in this world who can make these dishes.

A meal, eaten quietly and silently.

The candle flame magnified the figures of the two several times, swaying on the wall.

Outside, the cicadas chirp thinly. It looks extra warm.

Never before had they eaten a meal so quietly as they did now.

However, at this moment, in this strange prairie, in this dilapidated house, under the dim light, between the dishes and dishes, the clouds that have been floating in this space have a sense of stability.

Full of wine and food, Ping Yao sat on the threshold and looked at the stars.

Yun Yi took the candlestick, went to the bedroom to inspect it, and then walked to Ping Yao's side and sat down beside Ping Yao.

Ping Yao was in a good mood, and pointed to the stars in the sky to show Yun Yi: "You see that the sky here is really clear." Look at the constellation of Orion, Vega, and the North Star, you can see it clearly. ”

Yun Yi opened his mouth and ruthlessly dispersed the atmosphere of Ping Yao's literature and art: "I want to discuss with you how to live at night." ”

“?” Ping Yao looked sideways at Yun Yi suspiciously.

The dim light **** on Yun Yi's face, Yun Yi's eyes were under the firelight, and there was a little more warmth.

"There is a bed in the bedroom, but there is no bedding."

That means you have to sleep on a hard board.

After a few days of traveling, they were staying at the inn the other night. The bed in the inn was also covered with soft futon.

Ping Yao didn't want to sleep on the board.

The carriage table folded to accommodate a bed. It's a little stuffy, but it's much more comfortable than sleeping on a plank.

But Ping Yao can't say that she wants to sleep in a carriage.

After all, Yun Yi is the prince.

Ping Yao deliberately frowned in embarrassment: "Then what should I do?" If I sleep in the bedroom, you can sleep in the carriage. But where does the coachman sleep? ”

Ping Yao didn't believe it, Yun Yi could still let her sleep in the same room with the coachman.

Yun Yi took Ping Yao's little caution in his eyes.

He smiled without saying a word, took out a small triangular delicate sachet from his body, and handed it to Ping Yao.

Ping Yao took it and looked at it under the candlelight.

Under the light, Ping Yao's slender fingers pinched the red silk thread, and the delicate ruby ring on her hand lined her skin with snow-white.

Ping Yao put the small sachet under her nose and smelled it, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.

Yun Yi's heart moved slightly.

Ping Yao is so cautious alone. And there is a lot of information in modern education that does not allow casual contact with strangers' things, how can she smell it lightly?

Yun Yi didn't think that after getting along in the past few days, Ping Yao treated him as a person he could trust in his heart.

Moving his gaze upward, Yun Yi's gaze paused on the delicate ruby ring on Ping Yao's finger.

The style of the ring is very ordinary, just like the silver light used by Ping Yao when cutting vegetables, and it is also a style that can be seen casually on a stall.

The color of the ruby set on it is only average. Placed in the palace, it is a reward for people.

But it's very strange that Ping Yao's dress is simple and fresh. But she always wore this ostentatious ruby ring.

Ever since Yun Yi first saw her, she has been wearing it.

Yun Yi faintly retracted his gaze and looked at the stars in the sky.

He doesn't know much about those rare treasures, and when he goes back this time, he must turn to more books.

lest this local tyrant around him inadvertently take out a treasure that he can't recognize.

Ping Yao was still carrying the small sachet. "What is this?"

"Sachets for mosquito repellent. The carriage is stuffy, and if you lift the curtain to ventilate, the bugs will run inside. It would be much better to wear this. ”

This is what it means to let Ping Yao live in the carriage.

Ping Yao was overjoyed, her fingers lightly tied the sachet to herself, and she thanked Yun Yi crisply.

Heaven and earth are silent, only the sound of insects remains.

Ping Yao turned her head outward, looking at the stars in the sky, her heart stirring.

She has traveled a lot. In modern times, I have also been to the prairie and the desert. The scenery is naturally magnificent and open. However, it is far from what it is now.

The stars seem to be within reach. The cold summer breeze blows the skin refreshed. The sound of insects chirping is pleasant and crisp, and the wind blows the grass.

At this moment, Ping Yao suddenly wanted to do a very vulgar thing - pulling Yunyi together, looking at the stars and the moon, talking about poetry and songs, singing and drinking life.

Ping Yao has always wanted to do it.

She got out of the carriage and walked to the dark room.

No sooner had his hand touched the hidden door than it suddenly opened.

Yun Yi, who was dressed in white, stood behind the door and looked at Ping Yao in front of the door with some surprise.

After being stunned for a second, Yun Yi spoke: "You also got the news?" ”

"What's the news?"

Yun Yi had already missed her and walked to the carriage. Swiftly moved to the two horses in the carriage.

"It's too late to explain to you, hurry up and come over and help."

Ping Yao walked over and helped Yun Yi untie the two horses.

Yun Yi threw the reins into Ping Yao's hand and asked her, "Do you know how to ride a horse?" ”

What answered him was Ping Yao's smooth movement of turning over and getting on the horse.

Yun Yi smiled and got on the horse fluently.

The sky is full of stars, and the vast grassland. The galloping horses kicked up dust and filled the night with smoke.

Along the way, the two didn't care about talking at all. Yun Yi's face is rarely strict, and there is no usual indifference and leisure.

Ping Yao vaguely guessed that it was Song who made a move from there.

The grass retreats behind him. Until on the vast plain, a tall mansion appeared.

Yun Yi slowed down at this time. In the night, his face was as cold as water, but his voice was still indifferent.

"See that yard? It was the closest post station to Dachang. The procession of escorts for the state gift lived there. ”

"You're in such a hurry to go over, is it Song Cong's move tonight?"

No wonder Ping Yao didn't expect it.

First, the team has just entered the Jokhang. At the border, the bandits were rampant, and Dachang and the bandits of Dazhao were mixed together, even if the national rites were intercepted, Dachang could not be sure that it was the rogues of Dazhao.

If Song Cong made a move, it would be the best policy to wait until the team entered a relatively prosperous and stable town.
