Chapter 29: Betrayal
With the kung fu of hurrying, the brother and sister are both practicing volley steps, and they are extremely proficient in this kung fu of escaping, but no matter how hard Tong Xiaoye tries, the speed always can't catch up with Ning Yuan, and the young man's figure is flying, every step is skillful and elegant, not as rough as Tong Xiaoye.
She had a faint feeling that Ning Yuan might really have something to do with the ** Yuan Yuan'er of Qi Breeding.
At least his life experience is not as simple as he said that he was killed by bad people and his parents fled alone.
Lin Xian Town is a small town that must be passed through to enter the territory of Tongzhou, after Tongzhou is the vast grassland, the town is overpopulated, many strangely dressed foreigners laughed loudly, Tong Xiaoye watched with wide eyes and curiosity, and was knocked on the head by Ning Yuan several times and did not stop, until he was glared at by a big man with a high nose, and then obediently lowered his head.
"Brother, these people are so fierce!" She stuck out her tongue, she didn't expect her compatriots of the minority to be so fierce.
"They all specialized in robbing the border people for a living, although they negotiated peace with the imperial court in recent years, they are still very arrogant in private, there are thirty percent of aliens on the side of Yuntianfeng, and we Han people have suffered a lot of losses under them."
Ning Yuan explained to her in a whisper, and Tong Xiaoye's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
"Brother, you said Yun Tianfeng, where is that?"
She remembered very well that the Funny Immortal Monarch had asked her to dig up Yun Tianfeng, and when she heard the news of Yun Tianfeng again, she was naturally excited.
"Yuntian Peak is the mountain range with the best quality spirit stones, where it is most likely to dig up the best spirit stones, there are many other treasures hidden in the original mine, and I heard that ancient artifacts have also been dug up."
Speaking of Yun Tianfeng, Ning Yuan's eyes were also a little longing, but soon, the light in his eyes dimmed.
"It's good that we can go to the periphery of Yuntian Peak to mine, most of the time, we can't even touch the edge of Yuntian Peak, so we can only try our luck at the edge of the Cangling Mountain Range."
"Hey, is the mining place huge? Can we sneak over and dig up the treasure? Tong Xiaoye blinked, very incredible.
"The beauty you think, the Cangling Mountains are millions of miles in circumference, much larger than the land of the Dasheng Dynasty, and mortals will never go to the end in their lifetime. The mines that produce spirit stones there have been divided up by the major forces, and we are the lowest level of coolies, and the stones that have been dug for a lifetime may not be able to refine a small bottle of spiritual liquid. ”
Ning Yuan smiled bitterly, touched Tong Xiaoye's head, and pulled her into a dilapidated restaurant.
"Boss, let's have two bowls of beef noodles!"
Ning Yuan skillfully reported the food, and was about to put down the burden on his back, when he saw Tong Xiaoye looking at the table full of wine and food on the table next door with bright eyes, and added with a smile: "Three more plates of your specialties here!" ”
"Okay!" Xiao Er answered skillfully, and Tong Xiaoye reluctantly removed his eyes, but he was still a little unhappy: "Brother, why do you want three dishes?" I see that there are so many specialties here, and I haven't eaten many of them. ”
"Silly girl, your wealth is not exposed, the people here are very fierce, you have a big meal here, and you will be followed when you turn around, and besides, the road is far away, and our silver is not so abundant."
Ning Yuan touched her head dotingly, thinking of the long journey ahead, he didn't care about himself, but he couldn't let his sister take the risk, so he finally gritted his teeth and refused.
"Huh? Does it cost a lot of silver to go to the Cangling Mountains, so brother, how did you get there back then? ”
Tong Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that when Ning Yuan left, he left all the silver to himself, and he didn't bring a penny with him, and he didn't know how the young man survived such a long road.
"I was lucky back then, and I followed others as a little servant." Ning Yuan said lightly, never mentioning the difficulties of the year.
Tong Xiaoye moved his lips, looking at the young man with a gentle smile in front of him, he didn't know what to say, Xiao Er had already served the dishes, the two didn't talk anymore, grabbed the chopsticks and feasted.
"Give way, the wanted warrant issued by General Zhenbei, there is a reward for catching this person!"
The fierce voice came, Tong Xiaoye was a little familiar with the name of General Zhenbei, and couldn't help but take a look, but was pulled back by Ning Yuan.
"Ono, wait until they're gone."
Ning Yuan's expression was a little solemn, and Tong Xiaoye blinked incredulously: "Could it be ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already covered his mouth by Ning Yuan.
She suddenly didn't dare to speak anymore, buried her head in eating noodles, Ning Yuan went out for a turn, and soon came back, still carrying a small package in his hand, although he still looked casual, but Tong Xiaoye could see that his expression was a little solemn.
"Ono, you've got to change your outfit."
After eating, she borrowed the boss's toilet, and when she slipped out of the backyard, Tong Xiaoye had already turned into a little girl with clear eyebrows, her thick black hair was combed into two long braids, and she followed behind Ning Yuan timidly, looking weak.
"I'll go, who painted it, where am I so ugly!"
Standing in front of the wanted notice posted by the government, Tong Xiaoye covered his mouth in surprise, looking at the little guy in the notice who was combing two buns and smiling obscenely like a man and not a woman, he was so angry that he was going to smoke.
Ning Yuan held her little head in his arms and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In these days, women dressing up as men are not reliable!
I don't know who painted this portrait, the brushstrokes are skillful and expressive, it looks like a few skills, and the demeanor of catching Tong Ono is like a divine help, if Tong Ono is like the swaggering dress just now, he will be recognized soon.
"Oh, no, the man who painted the notice...... The person who painted the poster ......"
Looking at the wanted notice again, the twists and turns of each stroke are so familiar, the more she looks at it, the more frightened she becomes, Tong Xiaoye almost screamed, but soon, she closed her mouth and pulled Ning Yuan to leave the bulletin board without looking back.
"Ono, cry when you're sad."
Sitting on the bed in the inn, Ning Yuan washed the little girl's unkempt long hair, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that Ono's expression was wrong, he also took a serious look at the notice, and soon recognized that it was Ono's good sister Xuehe in Qinglou who painted the child Ono's Xiao Xiang.
Tong Xiaoye has a good relationship with Xuehe, there are several pairs of Xuehe's ink treasures hanging on the wall at home, Ning Yuan's eyesight is extraordinary, and then looking at his sister's panicked look, he guessed the truth at once.
"I don't cry, maybe Xuehe was forced, or maybe she was voluntary, I have to figure it out and decide whether to be sad or angry, right?" Tong Xiaoye pursed his lips, took the towel to dry his wet hair, and his expression gradually returned to normal.
Only those closest to her can paint her so vividly, and the brushstrokes are smooth and natural, without a trace of trembling, and it doesn't look like she was being persecuted.
What the hell is going on?
