"Heroes, I believe that you are also people who value righteousness. This Caldo girl has saved me in the desert, she is a good person, she is kind to me, and the other two are also my friends, I hope you will not kill them. Yao Ping said to the robbers in a pleading tone.

"Your own life is about to be lost, and you are still interceding for them?" The leader of the robbers smiled coldly, and then said viciously, "I think you will die with them." ”

At the moment when the robber leader raised his knife, Yao Ping only heard a crisp sound on the table behind him, and the robber leader suddenly stopped moving, and he looked at the table dumbfounded. Seeing the robber's reaction like this, Yao Ping couldn't help but slowly turn his head to look at the table behind him. He saw that Athana's scimitar, which Noor was holding, was unsheathed, and that the rim of a teacup on the table had been neatly cut off by the scimitar as he drew it.

The cut off mouth of the teacup was like a clumsy bracelet, and it was landing on the table next to the teacup. What really surprised everyone was that the teacup, which had been cut around with a scimitar, still contained nearly a full amount of tea. And when Noor drew his knife to cut the mouth of the teacup, not a drop of tea spilled on the table.

Yao Ping was also stunned by this scene, he looked at the scimitar in Noor's hand in astonishment, and saw that the scimitar was covered with misty patterns, as if there was a scene of silver sand and dust blowing the earth.

Just as everyone was stunned by Noor's action, a young and hearty man's voice suddenly came from outside the door of the inn hall.

"Oh, why did the wind and sand suddenly rise. I had to go into this wild shop to hide. ”

Everyone looked sideways, and saw a young Ilo man with starlight in his eyes and black hair scattered like a waterfall hanging on his shoulders from outside the gate of the post station. He was dressed in a black hooded linen robe, and carried a purple wood long box diagonally behind him. When he approached the post station with a light smile on his face, and found that the hall was full of people, he couldn't help but say teasingly, "Yo, the post station is really lively today." ”

"What people?! If you don't want to die, get out! When the leader of the robbers, who had just been frightened by the scimitar in Noor's hand, saw him, he immediately turned to him angrily, and it was clear that he wanted to find some confidence in the new traveler.

"Yo! Look at what you said, this post road is long, and if you roll it, you won't be able to roll far. The man said with a light smile.

"Don't roll? See if I don't cut you! The leader of the robbers walked towards him in a fit of rage.

At the same time that the robber raised the Pu knife in his hand to intimidate him, the man also reached out and lifted something.

It's a token. A token carved from white jade, the token is surrounded by a dragon and a phoenix, and there are three big characters of Yiluo clearly written, the imperial court.

When the leader of the robbers looked at the token, he was dumbfounded, and the Pu knife in his hand immediately fell to the ground. He fell to his knees trembling and began to beg for mercy. The rest of the robbers were at a loss as they saw the sudden occurrence in front of them.

"If you are all full, make up tables and chairs for those who are still hungry."

Hearing what the man with the imperial envoy said, the leader was not stupid, he immediately thanked the man, and then immediately greeted his men who were still stunned, and hurriedly fled with them out of the station.

Seeing this scene, Yao Ping couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He stepped forward and said respectfully to the man, "Thank you for your rescue, Xiaomin is grateful." ”

"What an adult." The man glanced at Yao Ping and put away the token in his hand.

Seeing that the imperial envoy in front of him was talking like this, Yao Ping was suddenly surprised in his heart. He was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his words and said, "Thank you to the benefactor for coming to the rescue, I am grateful." ”

"It's just a gesture, no thanks." As he spoke, the man walked over to the table where the leader of the robbers had eaten and sat down.

"I don't know what to call a benefactor?" Yao Ping asked.

"I said it was a gesture, don't call me a benefactor."

"This.... Don't know what to call you? Yao Ping had no choice but to ask.

"Pei Xia." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to pick up a piece of beef from the robber's leftover plate, and after putting the meat in his mouth, he chewed it and asked Yao Ping, "What about you?" ”

"Yao Ping, a native of Gwangju, is shaking." Yao Ping saw him eating other people's leftovers like this, and hurriedly invited, "Please come to our table and eat, and I'll go to the shop to order two dishes." ”

Pei Xia chewed the food in his mouth without looking back and said, "Don't waste it, these two tables of leftovers are enough for me to eat myself." ”

Yao Pingzheng didn't know what to say again, but saw his uncle Xiyang stumbling back and entering the post hall.

"Nephew, nephew, are you okay?" Gong Xiyang's words were still as panicked as when he fled, "I saw from a distance that those people had all run away, were the officers and soldiers coming?" ”

"It's all right, uncle. There were no officers and soldiers, it was this Master Pei who saved us. ”

Gong Xiyang turned his head to look at Pei Xia, who was pinching the leftovers with his hands, and asked with some hesitation, "My lord?" He? ”

"It's Lord Pei, the envoy of the imperial court." Yao Ping said to Gong Xiyang.

Gongxi Yang heard Yao Ping say that the imperial court envoy, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, he knew that he had a little gaffe just now, so he immediately pounced, knelt down to Pei Xia and sat down, and kowtowed to him and said, "Xiaomin knocks on the court envoy for saving his life." ”

Pei Xia just continued to pick at the leftovers on the plate with his hands, and he ate them with taste, completely ignoring the meaning of Gong Xiyang, who suddenly knelt down beside him.

After a moment of embarrassment, Asana suddenly stood up from the bench and said to Yao Ping, "Thank you for me. Now that they've escaped, let's get ready to hit the road again. Then Asana walked straight out of the inn hall, and Noor got up and left. Only Kutsaia covered the corners of her mouth with her hand, and she smiled to herself and looked at Gong Xiyang, who was kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to lift her head.

Yao Ping saw that his uncle was kneeling on the ground and didn't mean to get up at all, so he rushed forward and stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Uncle, I have already thanked Master Pei." You don't have to repeat it again. ”

"It's good to thank you, thank you." Gong Xiyang dared to raise his head and look at Pei Xia, and then took the opportunity to stand up. Behind him, he said flatteringly, "It's really a blessing for us to meet the court envoy, if it weren't for the imperial court envoy to come here, our little people would have been killed by those gangsters." ”

Pei Xia was still picky about his meal and ignored him. Gong Xiyang smiled awkwardly, and then said, "I don't know where the imperial court is going to make the lord walk the post road alone?" ”

Hearing Gong Xiyang's question, Yao Ping realized that it was abnormal, the person in front of him was an envoy of the imperial court, but he did not have the appearance of a royal courtier, he was single and had no entourage, and his clothes were rough and simple. His hair was scattered and he didn't even wear a crown, and the most incongruous thing about his identity was that he was eating other people's leftovers with his hands.

"What's your intention when you ask this?" Pei Xia picked up a bowl of leftover soup, drank it down, and asked Gong Xiyang.

"My lord, the small people don't dare, how dare the small people have any intentions." Gong Xiyang said nervously, "It's just that Xiaomin felt that he had a fate to meet adults, so he said two more words, two more words." ”

Pei Xia laughed loudly and said, "Look at your appearance, you are the businessmen of the camel team outside the gate, right?" ”

Gong Xiyang immediately replied: "Yes, it's a businessman who walks the wasteland outside the gate." ”

"But you're not walking on the desert road outside the gates." Pei Xia turned to look at Gong Xiyang and asked, "What is the reason why the two of you are heading east with these Khaldomen?" ”

Gong Xiyang hurriedly explained: "My lord, the one who went out just now is the princess of the Khaldoshenwa tribe, their homeland has been invaded, and they want to go to the imperial capital for help. No, we happened to meet the camel runners outside the gate, so we asked us to show them the way. ”

Pei Xia asked keenly, "The princess of Sinwa?" Her tribe was under attack from the Athors? ”

Gong Xiyang: "Yes, yes, my lord is wise." The princess did say that the Athorites had attacked their tribe. We also met many of the Khaldos who had fled from the west in Seva. ”

"The matter of the border gate outside the plug, you still need to go to the imperial capital? The Yaoshan Governor's Mansion is not a decoration, their duty is to monitor the clans outside the Guan, and any disturbance will have already been reported to the imperial capital, not to mention the changes of a big country like Yasor. Besides, as for my Iro's military strategy, how can you bring a tribal princess to influence it? ”

When Yao Ping heard Pei Xia say this, he only felt that he was a little dull and ignorant, but he immediately turned to his heart that his uncle should also know these things, but he didn't tell himself and Asana.

"Yes, yes, we don't have that skill, it's just that they paid us to lead the way." Gong Xiyang said with a smile.

"Then why did I see you running out of this post road from a distance when I was on the post road just now?"

"Adult, just now the villain is also afraid, afraid."

Pei Xia didn't listen to Gong Xiyang finish speaking, and then turned his gaze to Kutsaya, who had been sitting on the side.

Kutseya didn't understand the Ilo language, and she didn't know what they were discussing, but at this moment, when she saw Pei Xia suddenly looking at her, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so she also stood up and prepared to walk out of the hall.

"I think I've seen this girl somewhere." Pei Xia suddenly opened his mouth and muttered to himself.

When Gong Xiyang and Yao Ping heard Pei Xia say this, they also turned to look at Kutsea. And Kutsaya was walking through the hall at this time, and she saw that the three of them suddenly looked at her, so she stopped and turned to Yao Ping and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Yao Ping looked at Pei Xia and saw that he didn't intend to let him relay what he had just said, so he said to Kutsea: "It's nothing, get ready, let's continue on the road in a while." ”

Kutseea nodded, and then she walked out the door after glancing at Pei Xia again in confusion.

Gong Xiyang: "My lord, you must have gone to the customs clearance, right?" These Caldo girls are good-looking, and the villain thinks they all look similar to that girl. ”

Pei Xia ignored Gong Xiyang's words, and instead said to him, "You go out too." ”

"Huh?" Gong Xiyang asked suspiciously, "My lord, what do you say..?" ”

"You go out and get out of the way. I have something to say to this brother. Do you understand? ”

"Xiaomin understands, understands."

Seeing Gong Xiyang walk out of the door in embarrassment and reluctance, Pei Xia turned to look at Yao Ping, and after a short thought, he said to Yao Ping, "Yao Ping, even if you take these Khaldo people to the imperial capital for help, then if they don't just go to the Bingwu Mansion to report the situation of Yasor's eastward invasion, or rather, they don't go to the Bingwu Mansion to report the situation, but go to the Gongzao Mansion, at that time, I want you to convey a word for me." ”

"Gongzaofu..." Yao Ping was stunned for a moment, and then said, "My lord, please speak, Xiaomin must convey it truthfully." ”

"What an adult. I appreciate your kindness and righteousness just now, and you are not afraid of danger. Don't call me that, just call me Pei Xia. ”

Yao Ping said with some hesitation: "Master Pei, as an official of the imperial court, you seem to be older than me, and Xiaomin really doesn't dare to call you by your name." ”

"You people are really poisoned enough by the Ritual Sect." Pei Shuo beckoned Yao Ping to come closer, and then continued to him in a low voice, "You remember what I said, if they really go to the Gongzao Mansion at that time, you will tell the princess that there is a female cartographer named Shao Jun in the Gongzao Mansion, if you have anything to say, let her tell her." Remember? ”

Although Yao Ping didn't understand why Pei Xia asked him to convey such a sentence, he didn't ask much, but just agreed decisively: "Xiaomin remembers." ”

"Also, promise me that this matter will be kept secret." Pei Xia looked at Yao Ping's eyes and said.

"Definitely."

"I heard you from outside the door before, and I knew you were a man of promises." Pei Xia said with a smile. Then he sat up straight, wiped the stains from his mouth with his hand, and continued, "These meals are full, and I take my leave, little brother." ”

Before Yao Ping could speak again, Pei Xia had already gotten up and walked outside the door. Yao Ping rushed to the door, only to see Pei Xia quickly riding a black horse and galloping west without looking back. At the moment when Pei Xia got on the horse, Yao Ping inadvertently caught a glimpse of a large pattern carved at the bottom of the purple wooden box on his back, a ruler and a compass.

Watching Pei Xia gallop away in a hurry, several people talked about the dangerous scene just now. Asana didn't seem to mind Gong Xiyang's escape at all, she asked Yao Ping instead, "Those people are obviously targeting us, it seems that they don't want to hurt you, why didn't you run away with your uncle when he fled?" ”

"I.." Yao Ping looked at Asana's sincere gaze and felt that she was indeed asking herself because of the confusion from the bottom of her heart, so she had to say frankly, "Since I promised to take you to Luochuan, I should do it, no matter what happens on the way." ”

"Is it because I gave the money?"

"Of course not. I just followed my promises. What's more, you saved me, and we can be considered friends along the way, I can't leave my friends and run away alone. ”

Asana was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled slightly, she didn't say anything more. Yao Ping saw her turn around and untie the reins of the jujube red dimi horse from the bolted horse.

"Sara, there's something I want to tell you." Yao Ping stepped forward and walked to Asana's side and said, "Actually, the matter of your tribe being attacked by the Asuor people only needs to be reported to the Duyou Mansion at Yaoshan Pass, and they will naturally report it to the imperial capital Luochuan after it is verified." ”

Asana nodded, "Well, I understand, and then what?" ”

"And then... Then the royal court will make its own arrangements for this kind of frontier warfare. ”

"Well, I understand. But you Iro and Azor have never had anything to do with each other, but some of our Khaldo tribes will often harass your borders, and I think that even if this matter is reported to Luochuan, your king will not send troops. ”

Yao Ping said in surprise: "Since you understand this, why do you want to go to Luochuan?" ”

"I have my own arrangement." "Maybe later, you'll understand." ”

"Okay."
