After five days in the desert, I finally got out of the barren land.

The deviation of the route of this trip led to the fact that when he arrived at the pass of Lanling Kingdom, it was no longer the previous Quanqu Pass, but Zhentian Pass, which was a hundred miles away from Quanqu Pass and bordered the land of Qiongyue State, was also the battlefield where the war continued for many years.

It was also the right time for the snow to come in September, if it weren't for the truce at this moment, it would be impossible for the two of them to enter the customs.

Successfully entered the Zhentian Pass, even if the sun was shining, he still felt a murderous aura in the air, which made people's chests stuffy and uncomfortable.

There is only one inn in Zhentianguan, and there are not many people living in it on weekdays, after all, this is Zhentianguan, a very chaotic place, and not many people are willing to come here to suffer, except for those weapon merchants.

Although the imperial court had a special smelter and weapons workshop, and the soldiers did not have to worry about their weapons, it did not prevent these small groups of arms merchants from coming here to do business.

War is always the most expensive thing, and it is also the easiest thing for merchants to get rich.

The prosperity in Zhentianguan is not worse than that of Quanquguan, but the feeling of the two places is not the same.

The prosperity of Quanqu Pass is loose after decompression, but the prosperity of Zhentianguan is full of slaughter, what is felt here is the taste of the battlefield, mixed with blood, and the Zhentianguan that is always ready to fight is like a tight bow, ready to shoot sharp arrows at any time to eliminate the enemy who comes to offend.

Although the prosperity of Quanquguan also smells of blood, it is more like a prosperous hospital, mainly for recuperation, in order to recuperate and regulate oneself.

These are two diametrically opposed gates, at the time of the first step. September is always vigilant, even when staying in an inn.

A camel is not as valuable as an ordinary horse in Zhentianguan. Sell the camel and want to exchange it for a horse. Money is far from enough.

"Miss, Zhentianguan is King Xuan's territory. There are often conflicts with the Qiongyue Country, and the loss of soldiers is also the largest, after a battle, if the consumption is too large, it will not be replenished for a while and a half, and it will directly capture people from the people to join the army to fight, it is inevitable that such a thing will happen, we will leave tomorrow, I don't know if Miss Lu Dao has a place she wants to go? That's what I'll be able to do. "Stayed at the inn on September 1. After giving instructions on what should be ordered, he went to the room where the snow was flowered and spoke.

"Is it really that dangerous?"

"It's no secret that it happens a few times a year."

"Oh, that's it. Then do what you want, as for where to go, I don't want to go back to the original place now, do you have any good places to introduce? I came out this time to open my eyes. ”

"Can you go anywhere?" September asked after a moment of silence.

"Either way. As long as it's not a place where life is in danger at every turn. It is best to be in a place within the territory of Xizhou, where there is eating, drinking, and playing. "The snow on the flower answers.

"If so. The slave has a place to introduce, so I don't know if Miss Lu Dao is willing to go. September said as his eyes lowered slightly, looking at the ground.

"Where?"

"Xijing."

"Xijing? The state city of Western State? ”

"Exactly."

"Although this place meets my previous requirements, don't you think there are too many dignitaries there? If I remember correctly. King Xuan's mansion should be in Xijing, and it seems that there are several county kings who also live in Xijing, plus a large number of big families that are more than 100 years old. I always felt that this place was dangerous. Hua Shangxue said and couldn't help frowning.

"Miss, you're just going to play. Although there are many of these big people, they may not be met by you. The reason why the minions introduced this place. Mainly because the distance from Zhentianguan to Xijing is closer, and it is also the safest place in Xizhou today, even if it is good to fight fiercely here, it will not be affected over there, and it will not be affected to go to Xizhou. The most important thing is that Miss's aunt is also in Xijing, although Miss doesn't necessarily have to take refuge, but at least there is a shop there, so she won't sit and eat empty. ”

"Shop? What shop? ”

"Is Miss confused? It is the dowry left by the lady to the young lady, on Guanghe Street in Xijing, a century-old teahouse facing the Closed Moon Lake. The title deed of this teahouse has always been kept by the slave, and the young lady insisted on going to the country of Tarsa before, and she still doesn't remember the slave, so the slave didn't mention it. Now that the young lady is back, it is better to go to Xijing for a walk, and inspect the shops by the way. September said and looked at the snow with a little expectation.

"Okay, then go to Xijing as you want."

"No. The slave will go to arrange things, and the young lady please stay in the inn, don't go around. ”

"Don't worry, I won't run around."

After getting the promise of Hua Shangxue, he hurriedly left the inn in September and went to Guanzhong Automobile Company to hire a carriage to Wulinjiang, and prepared to take a boat from Wulinjiang Ferry to Xijing.

In September, I was in high spirits and took a nap in the room with snow.

Just when Hua Shangxue was sleeping in a daze, a strong fragrance covered Hua Shangxue's nose through a handkerchief, and a sense of dizziness made her weakly hang her arms and completely faint.

"Are you done? Hurry up. A man dressed as a junior pushed the door of the snow room and shouted inside.

"That's it." A moment later, a gray-clothed middle-aged man walked out, holding the unconscious Hua Shangxue in his hand, the two looked at each other, closed the door again, and then led the person down through the window in the side room.

The middle-aged took people away, and Xiao Er cleaned up all the traces, restored them to their original state, and left quietly.

In a secluded house in Zhentianguan, the middle-aged man who had been taken away from the inn after fascinating him knocked on the door, and when he entered the house, the door was opened by a middle-aged woman about forty plump.

"Boss, can it go well? I didn't find out. The woman asked as she closed the door in a low voice.

"Rest assured, the second child will not go wrong after the aftermath. If it weren't for the original cargo that died of illness, it would not have made this decision to do it in the inn. After the middle-aged man put the person down, he tried the bound hands and feet, and only after making sure that it was firm did he say so.

"Lest you have too many dreams at night, hurry up and send the goods away, and be careful on the road."

"Don't worry. It's not once or twice, I'll be careful. The middle-aged man got up and led the carriage out, lifted the floor of the carriage, and revealed a dark compartment from it, but saw that in the dark compartment of the carriage, there were at least seven or eight girls lying horizontally who were tied and gagged and unable to make a sound, about ten years old, with good facial features, dressed in a sackcloth robe, and a trace of panic in their eyes.

Shoved people directly into the carriage, and did not forget to say viciously to those girls: "Be good to me later, otherwise, you will look good." ”

After saying this, the middle-aged man restored the carriage to its original state, and then went out, but after a while, he picked up a guest and got on the car, ready to leave the customs.

The inspection of the customs was very smooth, and soon after the carriage with a secret compartment left the town of Tianguan, September, who had been out on errands, returned to the inn.

With everything done, he knocked on the door with a smile on his face.

"Miss, are you awake?" September held a newly bought set of women's clothes in his hand and called at the door.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one answered, September knocked on the door again.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Still no sound.

When September was about to knock on the door for the third time, a crack opened in the door that was supposed to be closed.

No locks?

September was slightly stunned, and then seemed to think of something, pushed open the door, and saw no trace of snow on the flowers, and the skirt that he was holding didn't care about falling directly to the ground.

September glanced at the room, as he saw when he came in, there was no change in the slightest, but it was precisely because there was no change that September's heart couldn't help but get nervous.

"Little Er, Little Er......" September shouted, calling Xiao Er in the inn.

"Guest, what do you command?" Xiao Er, who was passing by, rushed over when he heard the voice and asked with a smile.

"Did you see the little master who came with me in the room?" September asked in a deep voice.

"Hey, isn't that little master in the room?" Xiao Er's face was surprised, "It's strange, I saw the little young master say that he wanted to rest well and not let people disturb him, but the little one has been busy in the lobby and hasn't seen it leave, it's really strange." ”

As soon as September heard Xiao Er's answer, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Could it be that something happened?

Just as September was thinking this, a stone in the corner of the bed caught September's attention.

It was a stone with a hint of reddish-white streaks, like the color of sunset. This stone was picked up by chance in the desert, and it was something that Hua Shangxue had been playing with, and there was no reason to throw it at the foot of the bed.

A not-so-good thought flashed in his mind, and he completely sank September's face.

"Hopefully something isn't really wrong." September muttered to himself, and directly left Xiao Er and turned around and ran out of the inn, but he didn't notice that just as he left, this Xiao Er's originally blank face showed a smug smile.

"Stand still, this is the General's Mansion, and idlers are not allowed to enter." In front of the Zhentianguan General's Mansion, the soldiers guarding the gate stopped a young man who tried to break in.

"Fuck off, I want to see the general, here's the token." The young man's face sank, and he took out a black token from his arms, and the soldier who was originally blocking the road immediately retreated to the side and bowed, but the other party had no time to pay attention to it, and rushed directly towards the general's mansion.

The originally peaceful Zhentianguan suddenly became chaotic for some reason today, and a team of people asked from door to door, still holding a portrait in their hands.

The painting is a little girl about ten years old, she doesn't look like a country and a city, she can only be regarded as a small jasper, and there are even three scars on her forehead, but it is such an ordinary little girl, but it is the entire Zhentianguan that is boiling, it is said that this is the order of General Qin, who has guarded Zhentianguan for twenty years. (To be continued......)
