When Yao Ping met Shao Jun, she was standing by the sink in a delicate small courtyard cleaning the dyed brushwork.

She was dressed in plain clothes and had an elegant posture, and when she saw Yao Ping and Asana arriving, she stopped what she was doing. She politely invited the two into the house.

"Lord Shao, I came to see you this time, and I was really instructed by Lord Pei Xia Pei." Yao Ping said to Shao Jun when he entered the door.

"Please be seated." Shao Jun stretched out his hand and motioned for Asana and Yao Ping to take their seats in the hall. Then he instructed a little scholar to make green tea for the two of them, and then Shao Jun said slowly, "I think it must be him." I wonder what the two of you are looking for me? ”

"My lord, in fact, this time, it is this princess of Caldo who is looking for you, my lord, I am just a guide, and I can be regarded as half a translator." Yao Ping said to Shao Jun. Shao Jun then turned his gaze to Asana.

Seeing Shao Jun looking at her, Asana also smiled kindly, although she couldn't understand what Yao Ping was talking to the person in front of her.

After Yao Ping and Shao Jun talked for a while, Shao Jun understood Asana's identity and origin.

"The princess of Sinwa," Shao Jun nodded slightly, and then said, "Since the princess is from far away Sinwa, I don't think she will be alone." But a young woman with you? ”

Yao Pington was surprised and asked, "My lord, how do you know?" We did bring two retinues along the way, and among them was a young woman named Kutthea. ”

"That's it." Shao Jun said calmly, "Three years ago, the chief of Sinwa married his daughter to Emperor Yasuor in order to be kind to Asol. And with the princess was married a young girl, and the two were inseparable in Asol. It wasn't until last summer that I heard that the princess had left there with the maiden. And this incident also became an excuse for Azor to use troops against Sinwa. ”

Yao Ping couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard Shao Jun talk about Asana's experience. At the same time, he was amazed that Shao Jun knew so well about the experiences of Asana and Kutsya. He looked at Asana in astonishment, then looked back at Shao Jun, not knowing what to say for a while.

Seeing Yao Ping's stunned expression, Asana couldn't help but wonder, "Yao Ping, help me translate your conversation." ”

"Can I, my lord, translate what you just said to this princess?" Yao Ping asked Shao Jun.

"Don't bother." Shao Jun said softly to Yao Ping, and then she turned to Asana, and suddenly changed to Yasuor's language and asked, "Your Highness Princess, if you guess correctly, you should know Asor, right?" ”

This time it was Asana's turn to be surprised, she nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, I will." ”

"In this case, we won't have to bother Yao Ping to help us translate." Shao Jun said, "Princess, please speak, I know that you must have a lot of important news to tell Asol's future enemy. ”

Asana was surprised again, she looked at the Ilo woman in front of her, and she really didn't understand how she knew herself so well.

When the two spoke in Yasor, Yao Ping couldn't speak. Although he had also come into contact with the merchants of Azar, he was not proficient in their language, and he could hardly understand them beyond the scope of daily greetings and goods transactions.

He watched Asana and Shao Jun talk alternately, and he didn't know what they were talking about, the only thing he could know was that Shao Jun's Yasuorian language was not as fluent as Asana.

In his spare time, Yao Ping couldn't help but look at the faces and postures of the two, and began to think a little about it. He felt that the two had two completely different aesthetics. But if you want to talk about which one you like, Yao Ping feels that it is difficult to choose. A woman like Asana with a distinct silhouette, breathtaking eyes, and an independent and sassy temperament is very attractive to him, but Yao Ping always feels that she, like Kutsaya, has a sense of distance for herself, which is far less intimate than Shao Jun, a delicate and elegant Yiluo woman.

Thinking of the fact that Asana had married Yasuor that Shao Jun had just mentioned, Yao Ping's heart couldn't help but fluctuate again. He thought that this beautiful woman of Cardo had gone through much more than she looked, marrying Emperor Azor, and fleeing from there, she must have gone through a very painful time, and now she has lost her home, lost her relatives, she is very pitiful and strong.

The conversation between Shao Jun and Asana lasted for a long time. It wasn't until he finally left that Shao Jun said some goodbye words to Yao Ping in Yiluo.

Out of the small courtyard, Yao Ping asked Asana curiously, "Asana Sala, what did you all talk about?" ”

"Nothing." Asana replied lightly, "It's just some of what I've seen in Athore." ”

"Oh." Seeing that Asana didn't want to speak, Yao Ping didn't want to ask too much, so he turned to say, "I really didn't expect that you could speak Asor. ”

"She should have told you just now, Kutsaia and I lived in Azor for a while." Asana said lightly.

"Yes, I did." Yao Ping wanted to ask Asana more questions about her experience, but it seemed offended and he didn't say anything more.

"I'll come here again tomorrow with Kutsaia, so I won't bother you to lead the way." "Maybe in a few days, we'll be back in Khardo. ”

"Huh? Is it so urgent? Yao Ping asked.

"It's been dragging on for a long time, and if it weren't for the inn you found for us that was run by a Khaldo, I think I wouldn't have been able to afford the accommodation a few days ago."

"No, it can't be. How can you not even pay for it? Yao Ping asked in surprise.

"Your uncle spent ten gold coins and thirty-five silver coins to help me contact the people of the Bingwu Mansion."

"Oh my God!" Yao Ping felt dizzy, he knew that even if he bought the inn where they stayed, he wouldn't need so much money. Yao Ping couldn't believe that Gong Xiyang had taken so much money from Asana these days, but he hadn't done anything for Asana until now.

"Uncle, he took so much money from you!"

Asana looked at the stunned Yao Ping and nodded slightly.

"I, my uncle, may have lied to you." Yao Ping spat out this sentence from his mouth with some confusion.

"He helped me a lot." Asana said flatly.

"That's not the case at all, even the last time he helped you carry a scimitar into the customs at Yaoshan Pass, he also deceived you of a gold coin." Yao Ping became a little indignant.

"I know, it's nothing." Asana said lightly, "Maybe he also charged me some money this time that shouldn't have been collected, but after all, he still did a lot of things for me." ”

"But you haven't seen anyone from the Hyobu Mansion at all."

"I have entrusted your uncle with some of the things I have told them. I guess that's fine. Asana said.

"I asked for so much money to spread the word." "It's not worth it at all. ”

"It doesn't matter, Yao Ping."

"It doesn't matter, it will cost you a lot of money to return to Cardo all the way." Yao Ping said.

Asana smiled lightly, "Can't we go back to Seva without money?" ”

"No, I mean, it's going to be more sinful on the way."

"That's nothing." Asana looked at Yao Ping, then asked, "Are you still going back with us?" ”

"I don't know." Yao Ping said, "I want to listen to my uncle." But I'm going to talk to him first, and I can't believe he's doing such a thing. ”

In the evening, Yao Ping waited for his uncle Xiyang outside the inn, and he said to him with a hint of anger, "Uncle, do you know that Asana gave you almost all the money? ”

"Almost all the money?" Gong Xiyang asked in surprise, "Nephew, how do you know?" ”

"Naturally, I was told. Uncle, have you taken a lot of money from her these days? ”

"It's okay, not too much."

"Not much? There are ten gold coins and thirty-five silver coins. ”

"Nephew, you know pretty much about it." Gong Xiyang smiled and said, "But I don't have your share of this money, because I used it for her errands." ”

"Used? But uncle, you used so much money to let Asana meet the people of the Hyobu Mansion. ”

"Oh, nephew, you don't understand, the affairs of this government are not something that ordinary people like me can control. You have also seen that the people in the Bingwu Mansion are all imperial courtiers, and when dealing with them, you can't be in a hurry, you have to know how to go step by step. ”

"Uncle, are you cheating Asana out of her money?"

"What's the matter, how do you call me to cheat money. A large part of that money I use is used to invite people from the Bingwu Mansion to eat, drink and have fun, and to make some connections, and I have to leave some hard money for my hard work. ”

"Uncle, in the past few years, I have been running with you to run merchants, and I have learned a lot from you, and you have also told me that I must be honest in doing business. But now you are cheating on a poor princess of Caldo. ”

"You kid, and you still educate your uncle?" Gong Xiyang became annoyed by Yao Ping's words, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be able to eat now." If I don't make some money, you'll starve to death. ”

"But if you deceive, I'd rather starve to death." Yao Ping put down an angry sentence, turned around and returned to the inn angrily.

In the inn room, until it was dark, Yao Ping didn't see Gong Xiyang come back, and he didn't see Nur. Yao Ping knew that at this hour, except for a few concessions, the whole city had entered a curfew, and they would not come back tonight.

Yao Ping thought to himself that Gong Xiyang might have gone to the Pleasure Shop to drink because he didn't want to see him, but where did Nur, who had always been silent, go, and Kai was gone. He lay on his side and tossed and turned for a while, but finally got up and decided to go to Asana to tell him about the situation, so that Nur would not be caught by the guards for not returning to the workshop on time.

He walked to the guest room at the end of the inn, which was Asana and Kutsaia's room. There was a faint candlelight leaking out of the crack in the door in the room, Yao Ping wanted to knock on the door, but he heard a soft groan from inside the room. He turned to push, and pushed the door slightly, and the door stepped back a little because it had not been bolted, and the gap between the two doors had widened in vain.

Yao Ping wanted to knock on the door again, but his eyes caught a glimpse of Kutsaya and Asana on the bed in the room through the crack in the door.

The two of them were on the bed, covered only with a thin blanket that had fallen to the ground. They kissed each other intimately. Asana and Kutsya gasped red-faced.

Such a scene was like a lightning bolt that pierced Yao Ping. He stood there dumbfounded, he wanted to dodge, he wanted to withdraw his gaze, but he couldn't move half a step, he looked through the crack in the door and looked at everything inside. Until he felt unprecedented shock and shame, and felt the dryness and unbearable pain in his throat.

He watched as the candles in the room were blown out suddenly, and then he slowly returned to his room as if he had lost his soul.
