Thin snow and fine salt spread on the road. The stinging west wind swept up, and the snow particles mixed with fine stones rolled into the far west sky, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In the bumpy car on the dirt road, Qin Nanxi and Xiaofei curled up and hid in the corner of the carriage with each other. The sound of two pairs of teeth bumping up and down, in the quiet wilderness, felt even more terrifying.

"Why, why do you have to walk at night?" Xiao Fei looked at Qin Nanxi, who was frozen in confusion.

In vain, he pinched his hands with each other, and Qin Nanxi only shook his head. In her heart, she also regretted her reckless decision. Ten years can wait, so why rush one day? Brother Xu is really close, but he is inexplicably afraid and apprehensive. Leaving Chang'an so resolutely, and rushing to Northern Xinjiang so urgently, is it really just for Mr. Su's last words? Is it really just to find Brother Xu?

"You can still laugh? My face is frozen green! Xiao Fei glanced at Qin Nanxi obliquely, and interrupted Qin Nanxi's nonsense with a smile.

"It's really a bodhisattva's blessing, and you will arrive all the way without wind and snow!" Outside the car, the old coachman with white eyebrows in the snow said happily.

"It's called no wind and no snow?" Xiao Fei seemed to see a monster again, and lifted the curtain of the car that was freezing to the point that the thugs were in pain.

In the distance, a row of blue and black city walls forced forward little by little.

"It's called snow, too?" The coachman's crimson nose greeted Xiao Fei: "The two sons are coming to Northern Xinjiang for the first time, right?" If you have the opportunity to see the snow in the north in the future, you will know that the old man is not lying! The coachman smiled heartily, tore off the skin around his waist, took a sip of wine, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He flung the leather whip in his hand into the air, and with a loud thunderclap, the carriage jolted more violently and violently than before.

"In front of you is Yunze City, and the city gate is open. Let's rush over like this, just in time to open the city gate! The driver's hearty voice was a sign of gratitude for the safety of the journey.

"This is Yunze City?" Qin Nanxi, who had only stabilized his body by climbing the wall of the car with his hand, poked his head out curiously and glanced at it from afar.

"Isn't it Yunze City! Northern Xinjiang mutual market, seven or eight years ago here is still the Gobi, within five years, the flat land on such a city, now here can be lively tight. "The coachman has been going back and forth to the northern part of the Central Plains for many years, and he is very familiar with this place.

"I heard all the way that this Yunze City mutual market, what is this mutual market like? How is it so famous? Xiao Fei stretched his neck and looked at the blue and black city shadow at the foot of the western sky.

"Seven years ago, the Great Chu cavalry defeated the Northern Xinjiang Raiders, and the Northern Fan sent an envoy to sue for peace. At that time, the general of the Great Chu Hussars wrote to the saint, strongly advocating the establishment of a mutual market in the frontier, interconnecting the silk horses of the two countries, and securing the frontier. As for this Yunze City, it is because of the flourishing Yunze Mutual Market, and the number of people who communicate with each other is increasing, so the hussar general asked for an order to build this city, so as to defend and trade at the same time. Qin Nanxi looked at the gradually growing shadow of Yunze City from afar, and said indifferently.

"Yo, this little boy knows everything!" The driver was surprised, and then sighed: "If you talk about the mutual market, it is really beneficial to the people!" Since the construction of Yunze City, there has been no beacon fire in northern Xinjiang, and we can have something to eat. ”

"So, what general did he really do a good thing to build a city?" Fei Fei leaned over to the coachman, and her curiosity could even make her forget the biting west wind outside the carriage.

"The border trade market has always existed, and it was not his start-up, not to mention, at that time, he was not the only one who proposed the border trade market to stabilize the frontier, this matter was the strategy of the imperial court at that time, but it was just under the jurisdiction of the Hexi Jiedu Envoy, how can it be recorded as his own credit?" Qin Nanxi's tone was indifferent, even slightly resentful. Back then, my father also advocated the construction of a mutual market, and he was full of praise for Situ Yi because of this matter. It's a pity that Situ Yi is young and greedy for merit after all, and many of the later petitions to expand the territory are disgusted by his father.

"This Hexi Jiedu envoy should be the young general Li Lao'er said, the prince of Xiaoguo? Called, called Situ Yi? Xiao Fei's curiosity was still there, so he returned to the car and sat down, discussing with Qin Nanxi.

"The young general also said in the past, the Duke of Xiaoguo is talking nonsense, don't you know that the title of Duke of Yasukuni is inherited by the second young master of his family?" Qin Nanxi retracted the corner of the car and replied with disdain.

"You seem to be very familiar with the affairs of this General Situ family?" Xiao Fei turned his face and put on a posture that he wanted to hear.

"It's just that I heard about it, I'm from Chang'an, the Situ family is hot, and any three-year-old baby in Chang'an City knows a lot of things about his family, and it's enough to hear about it." Qin Nanxi lowered her head and sorted out her small baggage, and replied without raising her head. The matter of the Situ family, as far as she is concerned, is really unwilling to hear about it.

"Second Young Master? Why? Could it be that this major general is ranked third or fourth? Or did the second young master of his family make greater contributions? But the surname Situ is rare, except for this young general Situ Yi, I have never heard that the general is from the Situ family. Xiaofei asked, although the affairs of the Situ family are not her business, she is very concerned.

Qin Nanxi's eyebrows curled, and the corners of his eyes suddenly showed some schadenfreude, "You guessed wrong, Situ Yi is the eldest son of the old prince." He was not allowed to inherit the lord because although the second young master of the Yasukuni Mansion was not as good as his military achievements, he had a miraculous honor. ”

"Kihoon?"

"Yes, that's a miracle! Do you know about the shocking case of Chengqiandian three years ago? That case was solved by the second young master of the Situ family. In just 100 days, the shocking case was solved, and the main culprit and accomplices involved as many as 211 people. You say, with such a skill, the dukedom of the inheritance country can be regarded as a deaf position? The smile on the corner of Qin Nanxi's lips was full of disdain.

"Cheng Qiandian big case? You, you mean, stab, assassinate the Holy ......." Xiao Fei's frozen white lips were half open in shock.

Qin Nanxi nodded, and said jokingly: "The second young master of the Situ family is determined in 100 days, and he has the purpose of preferring a thousand mistakes to one rather than one." Most of the more than 200 people involved in the case were old ministers who had returned from the previous dynasty, and many of them were old ministers who were increasingly estranged from the Yasukuni Mansion. In the end, a reckless and reckless kid in the Chengqian Hall caused a bloody storm out of thin air, but he achieved the way of the second young master of the Situ family. ”

"What do you mean by the Situ family? Hot hands to get rid of the enemy? It's ruthless! Then this Qingyun Road is not satisfied with blood! Xiao Fei sighed.

"Whether it's Qixun or military merits, which road to the top of the rocks is not paved with the blood of others?" Qin Nanxi asked rhetorically, but his tone was unquestionable.

"This, it seems, seems to be, leading troops to fight is not a blood-paved feat? In this way, this Situ is really not a good person! Xiao Fei sighed.

Qin Nanxi was stunned, lowered his head, and whispered softly, "Yes, no, the Situ family is a good person........." The words fell, and there was a slight pain in his heart, and in front of him, there were Situ Chong's bright eyes and thin figure.

Outside the car, there was a lot of noise. Fortunately, the gate of Yunze City is already in front of you.

The gray-yellow earthen walls were as cold and hard as the sky in northern Xinjiang. At the gate of the city, there are a few poplars, full of dead branches that have lost their leaves, like ghost claws poking out from the darkness, abruptly lying across the heavy wooden door, making the originally bustling and lively city gate inexplicably have a cold atmosphere.

Qin Nanxi lowered the brim of her hat, and waited silently for the yawning guards to check the baggage she was carrying. Xiao Fei scratched his ears and cheeks on the side, and his eyes flew around, as if he was looking for or waiting for something.

"I heard that a rich man in the north has come to Yunze to buy slaves, let's be careful." Xiao Fei leaned into Qin Nanxi's ear and whispered.

"How?" Qin Nanxi was unmoved.

"I mean, when the people of the city get this letter, they will be ready to go. If they can't find anyone, they will steal it. You are a young lady, you need to be careful! You can't believe everybody. When you enter the city, you must always be with me everywhere, I have some experience in the rivers and lakes, and I can also see that some people are good or bad. Xiao Fei's dark eyes were full of sincerity and calmness.

Qin Nanxi was a little moved when she heard this, and nodded in response. I hurriedly packed up my scattered luggage and went to the city gate.

Although Yunze City is a frontier town, it is also well-equipped.

Qin Nanxi, who had been bumpy all the way, entered the city safely, and his heart was wide, and he couldn't stand the cold and tired, so he just wanted to find a hot place quickly, eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, warm up, and rest.

Xiaofei was still sharp-eyed, and in a blink of an eye, he found a clean and warm noodle shop. The two of them went in together. Qin Nanxi sat down, and Xiao Fei poured tea and water for her affectionately.

"What is this?" Qin Nanxi said with a smile.

"Hey, if I didn't take care of you all the way, how could I get to Yunze. Tomorrow, we should also part ways, Xiaofei has received the great favor of his son this time, and I don't know when I will be able to see each other again. I would like to give a toast to my son today, thank you for your help along the way. Xiao Fei said, raised his neck and drank the full cup in one go.

"It's fate to meet, isn't that what you said? Little Fei Ye doesn't have to be polite! Qin Nanxi looked at the faint tide in Xiao Fei's eyes, and felt a little sad, so he hurriedly raised his glass and saluted, and a glass of spirits saw the bottom.

In the middle of the night, a bowl of steaming noodle soup was brought to the front, and after a meal, the whole body was immediately refreshed. I wanted to get up, but my eyelids were as heavy as a thousand catties, Qin Nanxi was full of doubts, and was about to turn back to find Xiaofei, but she didn't want to stop listening to her own call, so she fell down heavily.......
