This night, Nian Xiaojiao tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, only listening to the "squeak" of the bed board. Like the mind of the master who sleeps on it, he is apprehensive and uncertain.

There was no wind or moon tonight, and there was a dead silence everywhere.

Nian Xiaojiao stretched out her five fingers, vague, and couldn't see it so closely. The temperature of the fingertips passed little by little, and before the fingertips froze cold, Nian Xiaojiao withdrew her hand from the quilt.

She looked at the darkness in the room, and looked out the window, except that it was still dark.

"Alas..."Nian Xiaojiao sighed.

"Sister has trouble sleeping?" Qing Yu, who was sleeping next to Nian Xiaojiao, asked.

"I'm afraid I won't have to rest tonight, cheer up and prepare to meet the enemy."

After reading the little words, there was a slight sound outside the window. Like a bad kitten escaping, just because the night is too quiet, no matter how subtle his sound, it is particularly prominent.

Nian Xiaojiao quickly took off the cloak from the shelf next to the bed, hastily surrounded it, and strode with meteors, bringing a strong wind with every step. She gently pushed open the door and walked outside, where there were tiny snowflakes falling in the air tonight. This winter is getting colder and colder.

"When a friend comes, show up, hide his head and shrink his tail like some kind of hero."

"Hahaha~" The silver bell-like smile continued, and a pleasant female voice sounded: "I'm not a hero." ”

It turned out to be her? Nian Xiaojiao never thought that she would have the opportunity to meet someone here, and she was very surprised.

"Shang Jin!"

"Shut up! Don't call me that, you don't deserve it. ”

Nian Xiaojiao shook her head and changed her title: "Ghost face!" You don't think about your loved ones, how worried are they? ”

Before he finished speaking, Shang Jin shouted and rushed towards Nian Xiaojiao, and a white jade fan came. It is not only the cold wind that stirs up, but also the estrangement and distance.

Nian Xiaojiao passively faced the battle. The snow-white cloak danced with Nian Xiaojiao's turn, because the wind was long. With a slower movement, the white jade fan slid through Nian Xiaojiao's left leg like a sharp blade, and blood flowed like an infusion.

Nian Xiaojiao, who was in pain, fell heavily to the ground.

Everything happened in an instant, and before Qing Yu could chase out of the room, Nian Xiaojiao was kidnapped by Shang Jin.

Today's Shangjin has restored its former beauty. The hideous scar on the front of the face is gone, replaced by fair skin, but the white is bloodless, and the girl's pink is not visible at all.

"Congratulations to Miss Shang on her recovery. Your brother will be very happy, he is most worried about you. Looking at the good-looking Shang Jin in front of her, Nian Xiaojiao said sincerely.

"Hmph, it's just self-deception, what's there to congratulate, stupid, I can't see a mask, I really don't know how my brother likes you." Shang Jin touched his face. This is the mask that Shava has carefully taught her, and it works very well.

It is rare to see Shang Jin who is as sane as usual, and there are few meetings in the past, and Shang Jin is either crazy or silent.

"Miss Shang Jin has been a little different lately." Nian Xiaojiao smiled. She didn't want to think about it, and she didn't want to guess, what was the purpose of Shang Jin's captivity?

"You woman is so strange, I have taken you away, and I don't ask me what I want to do?"

Shang Jin's face changed and changed, and he forcibly suppressed the idea of destroying everything. A jade fan struck outward, startling countless partridge birds. Ever since she cultivated Tianyin Dafa, Shang Jin's head had been damaged, and many times it was not that she was unwilling, but that she couldn't control her emotions.

It's better to be alone and away from everyone.

Shang Jin's temper is unreasonable, but now Shang Jin is like this, repeated and changeable.

I don't know how long it took, but the sky was slightly white. Far away on the horizon, light rises on the ground, and the darkness of this world is driven away little by little.

The red sun in the distance slowly rose, and Nian Xiaojiao and Shang Jin both stopped and stopped to watch.

"Let's go, don't go back to Yiping when you leave, if you still want to watch that innocent and romantic child grow up safely, then don't look back, keep moving forward." Shang Jin suddenly came out of nowhere.

It was probably too early, and there was no one around. Nian Xiaojiao looked at Shang Jin, who was far away from her, and asked, "Ghost Face, why are you so far away from me?" ”

"Help you, don't you understand? It's so stupid, I went crazy, but I even killed myself. ”

Nian Xiaojiao scratched her nose embarrassedly, slightly aggrieved.

"If you don't leave, those kids in the almshouse will face a catastrophe."

"Oh? Why? ”

"The old devil is coming."

"Who's the old devil?"

"You'll find out sooner or later."

"Shang Jin, do you want to come with me."

"Call me Ghost Face!"

"Oh~"

"I can't escape this fate, I don't want to escape, I won't go with anyone."

Today, Nian Xiaojiao can see it, it turns out that the Shang Jin in the past, pretending to be full of evil, is all played for the old monsters of the Tianyin faction.

Nian Xiaojiao believes very much that today's Shangjin is offensive and trustworthy.

"By the way, Shava asked me to say hello to you on her behalf. By the way, there is a sentence to paraphrase to you: be careful with the people around you. ”

Hearing Shang Jin mention the bad woman, Nian Xiaojiao couldn't help but smile: "I really miss the bad woman, the people around me?" “

Nian Xiaojiao couldn't figure out which of the people around her should be careful, so she could only suppress her confusion and not think too much. She continued, "How is she doing?" ”

"Everything else is fine, it's just scratching my brain and fighting with people, and I'm very busy."

"There are still people in this world who dare to provoke the woman, I'm afraid it's not a small way."

"It's not a small way, it's definitely not you, I can handle it." Shang Jin said that, so he didn't want to say more.

Nian Xiaojiao had to change the topic. "You told me that I don't have to go back to Yiping City, but I still have two subordinates in the relief hall." ”

"Your two subordinates are very precious to you, so don't worry too much. Promise! It's always been with you. Shang Jin glanced at Nian Xiaojiao's back, where a man and a woman walked towards the two, and both of them looked extremely nervous.

For Nian Xiaojiao's sudden disappearance, they were really anxious. After chasing for a long time, I finally kept up, or in the case of Shangjin releasing water.

"Sister, are you okay?" Qing Yu hurriedly caught up with Nian Xiaojiao, took her hands, looked up and down, left and right, and there were no wounds, before she put her mind at ease. She glared angrily and looked at Shang Jin: "What do you want to do when you kidnap my sister as a female devil?" ”

Shang Jin scoffed, without the slightest intention of answering.

Nian Xiaojiao glanced at Shang Jin apologetically and said to Qing Yu. "Qing Yu, you misunderstood Miss Shang, Miss Shang led us here in order to save us, and it was also a painstaking thing." ”

The matter is over here, and Shang Jin doesn't want to stay too long: "Miss Nian, I'm going to say goodbye, let's do it for myself in the future."

"Be nice to my brother." Shang Jin shouted from afar.

Shang Jin said that he jumped into the jungle and disappeared. I don't know if I went to the depths of the forest, or if I passed through this forest to another pure land.

Nian Xiaojiao smiled with a smile.

"Qing Yu, take a letter of resignation, and let the sisters of the relief hall run it well."

"Yes! Sister, what about us? Aren't we going back? ”

"The relief hall has been arranged, and someone from the Hanyu faction has taken over, let's continue on the road, my emperor's uncle is still waiting for me to attend the birthday banquet."

Everyone quickly ignored the small episode of Shang Jin. Along the way, there were talking and laughing towards the west.

Passing through the Loulan Ancient Road, I met many merchants coming and going. But this time, Nian Xiaojiao learned to be obedient, and didn't trust anyone easily, just observed from a distance and never approached.

How can these wealthy businessmen, who are not guarded by a few fists and feet, be able to walk the Loulan Ancient Road?

There are many businessmen who have died on the Loulan Ancient Road throughout the ages, but high risk is accompanied by high profit. Each shipment is unique and affordable. Rumors for businessmen. Two layers of profits can break through hardships and hardships, without any resentment, five layers of profits can be reckless, more than double the profits can violate conscience, and several times the profits are possible to kill people and set fires.

Through the transportation of the Loulan Ancient Road, the merchants can achieve several times or even dozens of times the profit. Therefore, even if there are countless bones on this road, who have died in sandstorms or at the hands of bandits, they cannot withstand the temptation of huge profits, and the number of people who sell goods will only increase.

Nian Xiaojiao looked at the businessmen coming and going, and if she was really a shrewd businessman, she started bartering on the way.

Nian Xiaojiao smiled and didn't pay too much attention. There is a long road ahead, and it is time to hurry, otherwise it will be too late to attend the emperor's uncle's birthday party.

"Qing Yu, when was your last birthday?"

"Sister, Qing Yu doesn't know her birthday, so she has never had a birthday since she was a child"

Nian Xiaojiao looked at Qing Yu with a little distress: "You and my sister, I will give you my birthday." From now on, my birthday will be yours too, and we will spend it together every year. Year after year, year after year, year after year, not separated. ”

Nian Xiaojiao hugged her from Qing Yu's side and gently patted her shoulder, giving her some comfort.

Qing Yu smiled gratefully. "Good sister, thank you. ”

Nian Xiaojiao waved her hand.

The sound of a quarrel in the distance sounded at this time, interrupting the conversation between Nian Xiaojiao and Qing Yu.

"How can you talk unreasonable, if I say I don't change it, I won't change it, it's my thing."

"Hmph, sir, I fell in love with your goods, it was the honor of your ancestors for eight lifetimes, and you dared to refuse me, you really ate the courage of an ambitious leopard."

Nian Xiaojiao was a little bored in her heart, the weather here was hot, the yellow sand was rushing, and the disputes between the two were endless, which made people anxious.

"Let's make a comparison." One of them provoked the other.

"Come on, whoever is afraid of whom! Don't cry later, beg your father to tell your grandmother. Ah! Spare me~Spare me~"

"You! It was unreasonable, and the other strong man was so angry that his face was red and his cheeks were shaking. He lifted his sword and showed off his skills. The moves are not very powerful, and they can't even compare to the sense of coercion given by his size.

Nian Xiaojiao muttered silently:

Flower fist embroidered legs, flashy.
