The sky dome in northern Xinjiang has only two colors, lead gray and blue. When the snow swept away the heavy lead ash, the transparent blue was revealed. The alternation between the two colors is short and clean, and the difference between snow and mist is simple and clear, with an either/or determination and neatness.

Qin Nanxi stood outside the handsome tent, his right hand on his eyebrows, and looked up greedily at the bottomless blue of the zenith. But behind him, a woman's warm voice came, "Master Su, it's cold outside, let's go into the tent."

Qin Nanxi turned around and saw that it was Mother Song, the cook in General Situ Yiyunze's mansion, so she smiled modestly, turned around and followed her to the tent, and said politely as she walked: "Thank you Mother Song, for bothering to open a small stove for me for a few days." ”

"The little boy is polite, the general explains, the old woman naturally has to be dedicated. It's just that I've never been to the Central Plains in my life, and I'm afraid that the food I make indiscriminately won't suit the appetite of the little boy. ”

Qin Nanxi pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't mind, although this Song mother's craftsmanship was really not flattering, but it was somewhat better than the food in the camp.

Today's sky is clear, Qin Nanxi has ordered someone to open the small felt window on the top of the tent early in the morning, and the tent is full of warm sunshine at this time. Qin Nanxi sat in front of the desk with all the money, and ordered a soldier waiting in the tent to move a small pestle to Song's mother, and ordered her to sit down, before she raised her hand and took a piece of fried black flickering things and put it in her mouth, and asked with a smile, "Situ Yi, I mean your general, did he also eat these when he was in Yunze Mansion?" ”

Mother Song's black cheeks fainted with a touch of shame, and replied, "The general never picks and chooses such things as food and clothing, so he never accuses me of craftsmanship, saying that I am in charge of the food in the house, but in fact, it is just that the general takes care of me, a lonely old woman, and gives me a chance to live." The general himself is mostly in the camp on weekdays, and he doesn't often go back to the house, and if Mr. Liu hadn't come back a few days ago, he wouldn't have returned to the house. ”

"Who is Mr. Liu?" Qin Nanxi chewed the coarse hard food in his mouth and asked casually.

"Mr. Liu is, yes, should be a friend of the general? Not right, brother? It seems that the general treats Mr. Liu and Mo Dan differently, and they are not brothers. I can't say who Mr. Liu is, but I know that the general treats Mr. Liu with great respect, and Mr. Liu has lived in the mansion for many years. Mother Song didn't know the word staff, and she couldn't describe the relationship between Mr. Liu and Situ Yi after tilting her head for a long time.

"A teacher and a friend? Situ Yi still has staff in the house? Qin Nanxi stopped the wooden chopsticks and took a sip of hot tea.

When Mother Song saw Qin Nanxi asking, her eyes flashed suddenly, she hurriedly shook her head and stood up crampedly, stammering and saying that she would go down if there was something.

Qin Nanxi glanced at her and nodded understandingly. In his heart, he secretly sighed at Situ Yi's rule. He has been gone for three or four days, Qin Nanxi is alone in the camp of the Northern Army, but she is only like a noble shadow, and everyone she can see is respectful of her, even this little soldier who has been ordered to be sent by her side is a little puppet who can only listen but not speak. Even a backboard servant who was transferred from his house and didn't cook well was chatting a few words, and she actually knew that she was alert.

Qin Nanxi barely took a few mouthfuls of food, and was bored, but when he looked up, he saw the little soldier at the door of the tent bowing in, and replied that outside the camp, Xiao Fei asked to see him.

Qin Nan's sluggish mind immediately picked up, and finally waited for Xiaofei's news.

Xiao Fei was sent to Qin Nanxi by a soldier on behalf of the detainees. Except for a few more bloody cuts on her lips, her complexion was still good.

After retiring the little soldiers in the tent, Qin Nan ordered Xiaofei to sit on the small pestle, and personally poured a cup of hot tea for her, and asked in a trembling voice for a long time, "Is there any news?" ”

Xiao Fei put down the teacup, rubbed his hands left and right, and his eyebrows danced back, "Yes, how can there be no news." Who am I? ”

When Qin Nanxi heard this, his deep eyelashes trembled unconsciously, he raised his hand and touched his heart, and only after a long time did he tremble and urge, "Don't say it soon." ”

"The Wuquan Village that Miss asked me to find was originally twenty miles outside this big camp, but in the big war that year, the general built a camp here, and all the villages within a radius of fifty miles were moved." Xiao Fei licked the chapped blood on his lips and snorted in pain.

Qin Nanxi hurriedly handed the teacup to her and asked, "Moved away?" Where are the people from Wuquan Village now? ”

"Yes, yes, don't worry, you've found it. Allow me to have a sip of tea. Xiao Fei hurriedly took a sip of tea before he said proudly, "The people of Wuquan Village moved the farthest, and went to Tianfeng Ridge, seventy miles northwest of Daying, which is too close to the frontier, I don't dare to go forward, so I will report to the young lady first." Look at the lady to show it. ”

"So you didn't go to the Liu Family Ancestral Hall in Wuquan Village?" Qin Nanxi listened to it and felt deeply disappointed.

"Tianfeng Ridge is too close to the border, and it is said that there is a garrison of the Northern Fan Di Kingdom...... "Xiao Fei is a little embarrassed, he was entrusted by others but failed to end the matter, this is indeed not Xiao Fei's usual behavior, but this time this fact is embarrassing.

The Northern Fan Di Kingdom retreated in defeat that year, and has always hated Da Chu to the core, only because he was afraid of Situ Yi's northern army that he had to swallow his anger for so many years. But on the border, people-to-people exchanges cannot be avoided, and the killing, killing and plundering of Di warriors often occur, although this is obviously a wanton provocation, but there is a civil dispute as a cover, Situ Yi can not interfere in everything, so he can only order the border officials to strictly rectify it. But the Di people got this benefit, and from time to time they were harassed on the border, so the people on the border were so afraid that no one was willing to take risks.

"I know that Tianfeng Ridge is indeed not a place that can be visited at will." Qin Nanxi turned his head to look at the sand table in the middle of the big tent, and carefully looked at the string of small hills called Tianfeng Ridge, which stretched and fell and carefully hid in the undulating mountains.

"Miss Su, the person you are looking for is said to have been in Wuquan Village, and he should have gone to Tianfeng Ridge with the people in the village." Xiao Fei said cautiously that Qin Nanxi's solemn look when she looked at the sand table was something she had never seen before.

Qin Nanxi turned his head in shock when he heard the sound, staring at Xiao Fei, and his solemn eyes gathered a look of excitement and joy little by little.

"It's true, I found a foreigner who has been working as a carpenter in Wuquan Village, he said that the village was originally a family, all surnamed Liu, and the family guarding the ancestral temple did adopt a street child, the child has been in the village, and later moved to Tianfengling with his adoptive parents."

"Brother Xu, he's really alive!" Even if it was the message that her brother said herself, even if she knew that Su Xu Shiyou** was still alive, she could really confirm it, and she still couldn't help but be excited in her heart and cry with joy.

"Who is this adopted son of the Liu family, why are you, why are you so ......?" Xiao Fei looked at Qin Nanxi puzzled.

Qin Nanxi smiled brightly, hurriedly wiped away the tears of joy on his cheeks, raised his glass to Xiao Fei and said, "Thank you Xiao Fei Ye for your help." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, as long as Miss is you, you don't care about your past suspicions." Xiao Fei looked rare shy and raised his glass to greet him.

"I have one more thing to entrust, as long as you do this well, I will naturally let Situ Yi let you leave Northern Xinjiang." Qin Nanxi's eyes flashed, and he made a calculation in his heart.
