The Song family and Shaman inside the door also heard this exclamation, and couldn't help but laugh.

Sha Man then stretched out his hand and gently pushed Xie Shuning's shoulder, and said, "Aman, let's follow Shu Yan to have a good time today!" ”

Here, there is not as much red tape as in the Central Plains, and there is no need to care too much about the defense of men and women. So Song also laughed, believing that the opportunity was rare.

When the "mother's ......" came to an end, Xie Shuning was a little uncomfortable, grabbed the corner of her skirt, and didn't dare to step out of the door.

Shu Yan waited impatiently, but he didn't dare to take Xie Shuning's hand directly like last time, so he had to pace back and forth in place, pat his chest like an adult, and swear: "Aman, follow me, no one in this Dunhuang city will dare to bully you!" ”

Xie Shuning listened to these bold words, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Of course, the two of them can't be the only ones going out.

Song Yanzhao had been delayed in Kyoto for a long time, and the affairs of the caravan had to be dealt with, and the backlog of affairs could not be delayed any longer, so it was impossible for him to take them with him personally this time.

Shaman picked a few tall swordsmen and followed them to the square.

Different swordsmen outside, these people were not hired, but people who were rescued by Song Yanzhao for various reasons over the years, and then simply stayed.

Therefore, Song Yanzhao and Shaman did not doubt the sincerity of these few.

Let them follow Shu Yan, who was already wandering around in Dunhuang City all day long, only Xie Shuning, and the Song family was also relieved.

The celebration is held every year, and Shu Yan is not the first time to go back, everything is very familiar.

Xie Shuning followed Shu Yan and was surrounded by several tall men and walked towards the big square in the center of the city.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Xie Shuning would never have imagined that he was in such a barren world. There will also be prosperous towns like Dunhuang.

This oasis, according to Saman, is a gift from heaven.

The gods of creation gave Dunhuang the best clear spring.

So that although Dunhuang is not as large as those countries that are also in this desert, it is better in terms of prosperity.

The merchant travelers, who were not afraid of hardships and dangers, poured towards Dunhuang from all directions, bringing silk tea and porcelain from the Central Plains in exchange for rich rewards, and brought back gorgeous fur and fragrance balms from more distant places than Dunhuang, as well as various handmade products that the Central Plains people found novel.

It's all there. All of them have brought enviable wealth to Dunhuang, a city in the sea of sand.

Xie Shuning, dressed in brightly colored clothes, walked in the crowd and almost blended in with them.

Gradually, the tension in my heart disappeared.

The smile on her face began to grow real and bright.

Places along the way. Someone is already dancing.

Like a bird passing over the sandy sea, its posture is light and moving. Absolutely beautiful.

This beauty. It is completely different from the beauty that Xie Shuning was familiar with in the past.

She couldn't help but be stunned.

Shu Yan on the side sneered, shook his head and wanted to pull her away, "It's too ugly!" ”

Xie Shuning was puzzled, "Where is it ugly?" "It's so beautiful!

Shu Yan's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief. "Fat and short, where is not ugly?"

Accustomed to seeing his mother's stunning beauty, the appearance of ordinary people is ugly in his eyes.

Xie Shuning listened to his words and looked at the dancing man again, feeling emotion in his heart. If such a person is still called fat and ugly, then I don't know how many young ladies in Kyoto are going to hang themselves in the well.

At this moment, on the far other side, there was a loud "bang-" sound.

Then, in the slowly descending night, a colorful flower suddenly bloomed.

Shu Yan's eyes lit up, "It's about to start!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Xie Shuning was dragged forward by his wrist.

The fireworks, which signaled the imminent start of the celebration, were launched from the main city behind the square.

The city glowed faintly in the growing night. If you are far away, you will not make people admit mistakes.

The city is made of white boulders, like a dormant snow bear.

Running, Xie Shuning's gaze was firmly nailed to the majestic white shadow.

"Aman, let's go see the dancing girl, shall we? I heard that it came from the frost country, and its hair color is like snow, which is rare in the world! In the night breeze, Shu Yan's voice sounded with a smile.

Xie Shuning retracted his gaze and agreed.

The two cousins walked to the Frost Country Dancing Girl that Shu Yan wanted to see.

No one noticed that on the high castle tower, there was a figure they were all too familiar with.

It stands to reason that Song Yanzhao, who should be discussing with Scar and the others about their going west with the goods, is standing in the city tower made of white boulders at this moment, listening quietly.

In front of him knelt a middle-aged man with curled hair. Person.

Man. The man raised his head and said respectfully: "Mr. Song, additional teams have been dispatched to patrol all over the city tonight, and it will be fine." ”

Song Yanzhao just looked up at the starry sky, frowned, and shook his head with a cold expression, "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I always have an ominous premonition tonight." ”

"That'...... Just send more people? ”

Song Yanzhao waved his hand, "No need, it's more important here." ”

The current lord of Dunhuang is 79 years old this year.

But his son and grandson have died one after another in the past ten years for various reasons.

There is only a five-year-old princess alive today.

But even so, no one dared to attack Dunhuang.

Everyone knows that the old city lord, who is now seventy-eight years old, is still as clear as a teenager, decisive in killing, and has an iron and bloody wrist.

The older you get, the more you look like a spirit, and the more fearful you become.

But only the people in this white palace know that the owner of Dunhuang has already changed.

The captain of the guard stood up from the ground, saluted Song Yanzhao, and retreated respectfully.

The unique musical instruments of the desert are played one by one.

Song Yanzhao shook the forehead ornament in his hand, which symbolized the highest power, and the blue gem inlaid on it was like Shaman's eyes, shining a gentle light in the moonlit night.

He lowered his eyes and chuckled.

The celebration finally kicked off.

The square was lit up with fire, and people were talking and laughing loudly.

The musicians played cheerful songs, and the dancing girls whirled and jumped in the cold night breeze in their splendid costumes. Like a flying butterfly.

Xie Shuning followed Shu Yan and walked around the square.

In the surrounding restaurants and inns, merchants who have made enough money put their arms around the plump orchids and laughed at them.

Xie Shuning and Shu Yan stood in front of the merchant's stall, picking out strange knick-knacks.

Dunhuang on this night is like a paradise for everyone.

Suddenly, a scream erupted from the bustling crowd, "Ahh

The music stops abruptly, and Mai Ji stumbles and falls.

The crowd dispersed.

In the chaos, Xie Shuning saw a pool of blood on the ground not far away.

There were two people lying in a pool of blood. Looking at the clothes and weapons in his hands, he should be a patrol guard in the city.

Screams rang out, and frightened people began to flee in all directions.

Xie Shuning couldn't dodge it, and was hit several times one after another.

The crowd of people around him was like a rushing flood, quickly drowning everything. obscured her vision.

In just an instant, she was already being carried by the crowd and began to retreat backwards.

"Brother Shu Yan!" She shouted.

The surrounding sound is chaotic. The girl's childish voice came out of the mouth. It was swallowed up and disappeared.

Xie Shuning "chuckled" in her heart and panicked.

They are scattered!

She forced herself to compose herself quickly and wanted to start swimming against the current.

But even if she is small and short, it is still too difficult to carve out a path in the opposite direction in the turbulent flow of people at such a time!

For a moment, Xie Shuning even thought that he was about to fall. and then trampled to death by the chaos of footsteps.

Thankfully, that didn't happen.

She held on, and finally squeezed out of the crowd and stood at the mouth of an alley.

The crowd outside is getting bigger and bigger. She didn't dare to get closer, so she had to hide in the narrow empty alley, gasping for breath and waiting for the flow of people to pass.

I don't know how long it took for the streets to become thinner. She heard the voices of guards shouting, "Calm down! Stabilization! ”

At such times, who can be calm!

She gritted her teeth so that she didn't curse out the words in her heart.

A group of people are rejoicing, and someone suddenly dies around them, who can see it and not be afraid?

A gust of wind blew, and she couldn't help but shudder.

Xie Shuning hesitated, not knowing whether he should immediately turn back and look for Shu Yan, or just stand here and wait for Shu Yan and a few people to look for him. It stands to reason that they are far more familiar with this land than she is, and it will be faster and safer for them to find it. The thoughts in her heart turned a thousand times, and in this place that made her eyes black, Xie Shuning really didn't dare to act rashly.

However, at this moment, several dark shadows swished in front of her.

Extremely fast!

Xie Shuning was startled, and hurriedly covered her mouth so as not to leak out the screams, but forgot that her uncle Shaman was wearing a large string of silver bells on her wrist.

"Jingle bell—"

The figure that fell behind the furrow froze for a moment, then turned its head.

There was a strange-looking mask on that face, which covered the face of the lower head tightly, and the cold light in his hands.

Xie Shuning immediately reacted to the cause of the riot.

It's this group of people, killing the guards!

She was about to run.

But the other party moved faster than her, and fell in front of her in the blink of an eye.

The figure is not much taller than her, the figure under the black clothes is a little thin, and she is obviously still a young child!

Before she had time to be surprised, the short sword had already stabbed straight at her.

Xie Shuning wanted to avoid it, but her body was stiff and she couldn't move. The corners of her mouth twitched, and she blurted out begging for mercy, "Don't kill me!" I didn't see anything! ”

Dressed in black and masked, the ghost can know who this group of people are and what they look like, she can indeed be regarded as not seeing anything.

The tip of the sword stopped before her eyes.

The pattern on that mask looked particularly hideous in the flickering light.

She didn't dare to move, but suddenly remembered that she was shouting in Western Vietnamese, not Hu, could the other party not understand it at all?

In frustration, there was a sudden sound of neat footsteps outside.

It's the guards coming!

Xie Shuning was overjoyed, but the next moment he fell fiercely. (To be continued......)
