Seven days later, a team of more than 200 people set off from the depths of the grassland of Suqicheng, Duo Ge Pei walked towards the horse with a saddle, Ke Mu helped put the saddle on the horse, Duo Ge Pei put the gloves on his hands, and then rode on the horse, Yinuo and Li Yan rode a horse together, Anning, Duo Ge Pei and Ke Mu each rode a horse, and the team of more than two hundred people began to move forward in front of their eyes, they were all wearing the black clothes of the plainclothes troops of the Lan Clan, and even the weapons in their hands imitated the sword control method of the Lan Clan, and the tail of the sword handle was made of rope twisted from animal hair. An Ning looked ahead, "Yes, you are well prepared, even your clothes and swords are decorated with the plainclothes characteristics of Lan Clan City." ”

"Since you want to enter Lan Clan City, you have to look like the Clan Moon Army. Dogope kicked the horse's hooves and walked forward.

The sky was drizzling, horses roaring, wheels squeaking, and the noise of people marching westward with the sand and dust raised in the grasslands.

Intermittently, there were many rugged paths on the road, and the narrow forest road in front of them enveloped them, first on the left was the flat Gobi, then deep into the towering rocky mountains, and on the right was the endless sea water, on the edge of which there were fishermen fishing, fisherwomen collecting nets, and children running back and forth. Further ahead is a series of herdsmen's houses, which are completely different from the grass houses of the herdsmen of Luobu City, and from a distance it is a square courtyard full of houses, all cut out of wood, and the yard made of mud.

There was a lot of traffic on the road, and when he entered the city of Suqi City at sunset to rest for a while, Yinuo took Li Yan to meet her family, and An Ning and Duo Ge Pei went together.

However, it was not as beautiful as imagined, and I saw Li Yan's home in the manor of the farmland, and the courtyard was surrounded by houses, and the houses decorated with wood in the corridors of the houses were magnificent. Her father and stepmother came from the middle of the living room, and when they saw Li Yanhao standing in front of him, they didn't even have the slightest joy.

"Father. Li Yan asked.

"How are you?" said her father, who didn't have a good tone.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you. Li Yan's tears had already fallen, "You have to take care of your body." ”

"What are you talking about?" Li Yan's stepmother opened her voice stiffly, "Where are you going?" I told you that you can't go, I have promised the old mother of the landlord's family that when you come back, I will go to their house to serve his son-in-law. ”

"That fat pig-like boy?" Li Yan said with tears in her eyes.

"Do you dare to talk back?" the stepmother raised her hand when she was about to delete it on Li Yan's face.

Dogo Pei grabbed her hand and threw her far away, "Don't do it. He warned.

"We don't need you to meddle in our family affairs. The stepmother stood firm, "Go back wherever you came from." ”

Li Yan wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned her head to face her father, "Father, is it also your idea to sell me to the landlord's house to serve his son?" She glanced at the house full of yards, "Other people's families have no food and have to sell their daughters, and you ......?"

"Your mother is in charge of this matter, so it's decided, you are not allowed to go anywhere. After speaking, he called his subordinates, "Come on, take Li Yan down." ”

Two subordinates came, Duo Ge Pei took out the hilt of his sword and blocked it in front of Li Yan, clasped one hand tightly, facing her father, "Don't touch Li Yan, her life is pulled back from the Ghost Gate, and you have no right to decide." ”

"I'm her father. Li Yan's father said.

"Do you know you're her father?" asked Dogo Pei, raising an eyebrow.

"You're rich enough. An Ning stepped forward, "If the money from selling your daughter can buy you physical health, can you buy a daughter who is more filial than Li Yan, and can buy someone to serve you in front of the bed when you are about to die of old age, then, I want your daughter." ”

"Who are you, my daughter is a sky-high price?" her stepmother looked at An Ning suspiciously.

Yinuo took out a bag of copper plates from her waist and threw them to Li Yan's stepmother, "Is it enough?" she frowned and said angrily, "These copper plates are enough for you to buy ten slaves back." Then he pulled Li Yan to leave.

"Stop?" Li Yan's stepmother stopped in front and reversed the weight of the money bag, "Dear Miss, Father Musi promised to exchange ten acres of land for Li Yan, don't use this copper plate to send me away, I am not a beggar on the road." ”

"Think carefully about who you are talking so presumptuously in front of. Ino stared at her, then pointed at Dogopé with his eyes, "The man in front of me is enough to make both the Moes family and yours a slave. Li Yan's stepmother didn't believe it, and his father was obviously a little frightened when he saw Duo Ge Pei wearing it, "Miss, Aman, let's go." After Yinuo finished saying this, Li Yan's father pulled her stepmother, and she realized that Duo Ge Pei's identity was not ordinary. Yinuo glanced at Li Yan's stepmother again before leaving, so she stopped and turned to walk towards them, "That's right, before leaving, I can let you die with peace of mind, this is the Aman in front of you in Suqi City, the prince on the grassland of Suqi City in the future, this young lady is from the distant Luobu City, I want to bring Li Yan to our Luobu City grassland, enjoy the life of the young lady, she will never become a slave, but my sister." After speaking, she turned around and walked towards Li Yan, and Yinuo pulled Li Yan out of the door, at the moment of turning around, Li Yan stared at her father, and did not turn her head until she was out of sight, and walked out of the door, and her tears did not flow again.

The journey to catch up with the team is not long, it takes a little time to ride a horse, and the road ground is not flat, along the way, none of them spoke, looking at Li Yan's expression, it hurts like a heart.

An Ning deliberately rode a horse to follow Yinuo, and Dogo Pei also slowed down, she turned sideways and said to Dogo Pei, "How many children like Li Yan are there in Su Qicheng who want to be trafficked?"

Duo Ge Pei frowned, "I once sent people to rectify this matter, and also gave food relief to those poor old herdsmen, but I never thought that even a family like Li Yan ......." ”

"You should next decree that all those who buy and sell children are prisoners, and those who are serious abductors are imprisoned for life. ”

"Useless young lady. Hearing this, Li Yan slowed down the horse from Enoch's arms, "Slaves are the best treatment, I have seen many children as old as me on the grassland, girls are sold into brothels as young as ten years old, boys are banished to the streets to beg, no one knows what happened to them?"

An Ning's expression was frozen and stiff, and he couldn't even breathe out for a long time, and there was a huge fire in Duo Ge Pei's eyes, and he twisted his mouth a few times angrily, and hurried forward.

Catching up with the large army, Dogo Pei dismounted, called out a person from the team, and pursed his lips solemnly, "I order you to return to Suqicheng immediately, lead a group of people, and find out how many human traffickers there are in Suqicheng, including children sold into brothels, boys begging on the streets, and slaves sold to landlords and ladies' families. I want you to pay no matter how big the price is, no matter how strong the power behind these people is, punish these people severely, and those who violate them will be sent to the border, and they will not be released back forever. ”

"Aman....... The non-commissioned officer bowed down in embarrassment, "These people are not just a matter of buying and selling slaves. ”

"I said that no matter how powerful these people are, find them out for me, and if the powerful family intervenes in this matter, then let their entire family go to the border, if I can't tell me clearly?" Dogo Pei roared, he calmed down, let out a sigh, and softened his tone, "There is something for me to do, and your task is to do it." ”

"Aman, I'll go. The non-commissioned officer mounted a horse, kicked the saddle with both feet, and with a "ride", his figure was drowned in the endless darkness.

Seeing the non-commissioned officer walking away, Duo Ge Pei finally breathed a sigh of relief, An Ning raised his eyebrows in agreement, Yi Nuo also shrugged at An Ning, pulled the reins and rushed forward, Li Yan glanced at Duo Ge Pei's expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The army marched forward at night, for two days in a row, and when they were tired, they set up their tents and rested, and when they were full of spirits, they began to move forward again, and when they came to the mountains, where they could not even build tents, they had to rest on the mountains.

The weeds here were deep, and An Ning lay on them, covered with a thin garment, and fatigue came at her. There seemed to be fleas on hot nights, and when they grew so big, An Ning knew for the first time what it was like to be bitten by a flea. When she finally fell asleep, she suddenly felt something moving in her hand, cool and slippery. She opened her eyes, and by the moonlight she couldn't see what kind of monster it was, and immediately reflexively bounced.

"What!" An Ning shouted, startling Duo Ge Pei, Yi Nuo got up, and even Li Yan was woken up, and the soldiers around her were also woken up by her. Ino, who was sleeping next to her, looked sleepy, and saw something crawling on her, she reached out and threw the unknown thing far away, and then fell asleep again, Ino also lay down, and Dogo Pei also fell asleep against the slate.

"Sleep, miss, it's all right. Ino reassured, yawned, and was almost asleep.

"Yinuo, why don't you know you're scared?" An Ning asked in surprise.

"I've seen more horrible things than this. "Where I used to live, anything unexpected could crawl on you, as well as jackals, tigers and leopards, wild dogs, and wolves...... ”

An Ning was still waiting for Enoch's answer, but she was already silent. She got up, resting her head on the stone slab, feeling that there was always something inexplicable swimming around her, and the chirping of insects and birds. Looking up at the starry sky at night, trying not to think about anything wandering, the strange beauty of the night, the stars and moon like a scimitar, the bright and twinkling stars, the dark shadows of the trees and the mountains, are all dressing up the whole world.

"It's a beautiful night like this. In this light, she thought of Snow's face, the way they met when they first camped on the weeds, and Snow fell asleep with her, the time they attacked Snow at the royal court, and the words they had said to Snow when they were separated from each other by a millimeter in the royal court, and what Snow had said to her when they finally parted with her in turn.

"My fiancée, when you're gone, won't you hug me?" she remembered as Snow pulled her closer to her arms and whispered in a whisper in her ear, "Wait for me, be my big man." She still vividly remembered the words Snow said when she shyly pushed Snow away, turned on the horse, and the moment the horse turned around, Snow said, "If I die in battle, you are not allowed to marry the king." ”

"Snow....... An Ning suddenly sat up and called out Snow's name, not knowing whether it was in a memory or a dream.

This time it was Dogo Pei who was woken up, he looked for prestige with a pair of confused eyes, and sat straight on the grass with his pupils blank. He sat up and looked at her.

An Ning rubbed her forehead, even she didn't know why she thought of Snow again and again, her eyes met Dogo Pei, "I'm sorry Aman, I woke you up again." ”

"Miss your fiancé?" asked Dogo Pei, tilting his head.

An Ning let out a cold breath, "No, how could I think of him? I hate him." ”

Duo Ge Pei sneered, got up and walked into Anning, "The night is beautiful, since we can't sleep, let's go for a walk?"

"Okay. An Ning nodded.

Duo Ge Pei stretched out his hand and pulled An Ning up, I don't know if Duo Ge Pei deliberately or overforced, the moment An Ning stood up, the distance between their faces was only one millimeter. Dogo took a few quick steps back, turned and walked forward.

An Ning rubbed his hands, shook the skirt on his body back and forth, and followed, in order to dispel the embarrassment, Duo Ge Pei coughed lightly, slowed down, and waited for An Ning to follow, "When are you going to marry your fiancé?"

"Married?" An Ning said in surprise, "I don't know if I want to marry him yet, my father ......." ”

"Your father was arrested for him?" asked Dogopé.

An Ning sighed, "Since I was born, fifteen years have passed, my father has never fought again, my father tried his best to cooperate with all the requirements of Da Shan Yu, and sent him elite soldiers, soldiers, food, silver tickets, women, swallowing his anger, for so many years the treasury was empty, and there was no savings, but for the sake of Snow, he broke all the forbearance and reserves in the past fifteen years. ”

"You don't understand men. Duo Ge Pei looked at the dark night in front of him, "In addition to the family, what men care about most is that they can never erase brotherhood, your father's affection is deep and righteous, I sincerely admire it." ”

"But he did harm himself, and so he is now, in the land of his enemies, he has been reduced to a prisoner. ”

"As long as there are no deaths, there is still a chance for the better. ”

"I lend you good words, I hope so. An Ning stopped, looked at the most commanding star in the night sky, and let out a deep sigh.
