"Uncle."

"What for?"

"I have a question."

"Just ask."

"Don't you always feel disappointed in yourself and worried about your future?"

"Huh, why? Isn't it nice that I have food and drink, and a very comfortable seat, and the money that was robbed has been returned to me... By the way, virtuous nephew, you left in a hurry that day, and you lost some money in the inn, I put it away for you, do you still want it? If not, I'll stay..."

"I mean, aren't you really afraid that I'll strangle you right away?!!"

“…”

After all, Yun Chongbo didn't take any action, because he also understood that at least, in terms of his current situation, if he wanted to turn against Hua Shengrong, it would only be more disadvantageous.

Although, this situation is simply caused by Hua Shengrong...

In his ears, the neighing of the horses sounded again, and Yun Chongbo, who had been familiar with their cries for several days, immediately heard that something was wrong.

(Well, they seem to be happy, but it's going to take half a day to feed them, so are they almost home?) )

(day...)

Thinking of this, Yun Chongbo was no longer in the mood to entangle with Hua Shengrong, so he bent down and held his head in both hands, looking very depressed. Even the carriage suddenly jolted a few times, almost hitting his head on the roof of the car.

(That crazy girl, running around, still can't escape, finally fell into her hands...)

Six days ago, the two of them left from the stone forest, along the road pointed out on the map to the direction of Yinshan, that thought, only three days away, they were caught up by the cavalry of the brigade, surrounded the two of them, but not embarrassed, just let the two of them turn back with them.

Realizing that he should have gotten rid of Xiang Ren's affairs a long time ago, Yun Chongbo was quite confused by this unexpected pursuer, until, until a middle-aged man with a smile on his face was pulled out by those Xiang people and confirmed whether he had found the main owner, he suddenly understood why Xiang Jun was ready to judge their whereabouts.

"But, virtuous nephew, they are terrible, the knives are shiny, the ropes are thick, the arrows are all so sharp and sharp..."

"So, you betrayed us?"

Laughing viciously, Yun Chongbo couldn't stop rubbing his hands, staring at Hua Shengrong, on the other side, although Xiao Wenshuang has been silent, but as long as Yun Chongbo makes a signal, she will definitely not show any mercy to Hua Shengrong, which is very clear to both of them.

"Virtuous nephew, don't look at me like this, it's terrible..."

said words that seemed to be scared, but Hua Shengrong was still a hippie smile, showing a rogue face of "I don't care", although Yun Chongbo was angry, but it was funny, although the fist was clenched tightly, it really couldn't be beaten.

"Besides, nephew, I've always wanted to ask you a question."

"Just ask."

"I've always been interested, when you escaped, did you trust me, expecting me not to tell Xiang Ren that you were going to escape through Yinshan?"

"Well, to be honest, I've never had such a fantasy before..."

…

After a few bumps, the car slowed down, Hua Shengrong turned around, stuck his head out of the window to look, and said, "It's time for the supply camp." ”

He smiled again: "This is the last place to rest, and there are forty miles of land, which is where the camp of the Xiang people is located, virtuous nephew, you have sinned a little bit of love, but it should be time for retribution." ”

Yun Chongbo was greatly embarrassed, and said: "What, what kind of affair and sin, what nonsense are you talking about..."Seeing Xiao Wenshuang's wonderful eyes coming over, he also seemed to have doubts and disdain, and his heart was even more anxious, and said: "Wenshuang, don't listen to his nonsense..."

Xiao Wenshuang was unmoved, only bowed slightly, and said, "I can trust my son." ”

Bai Hua Shengrong glanced at it, and said: "Profit-seeking villains are not enough to believe." Hua Shengrong was bored, muttering in his mouth, but he didn't speak loudly. The car was suddenly much quieter. Yun Chongbo was bored for a while, feeling bored, and suddenly thought: "Let's go down and take a walk." ”

Although those Xiang people forced the two back, their attitude was still polite, not to mention that the carriage was spacious, and the constraints on the two were not too tight, whenever they stopped, the two of them could also get out of the car and walk around, but they had to stay too far away from the car, but Yun Chongbo was worried and sullen, Xiao Wenshuang had always been calm, and he was not in the mood, but he never got out of the car once. But seeing that the target was approaching, Yun Chongbo was worried, so he wanted to get out of the car and walk around, which could be regarded as a distraction. As soon as he went down, Xiao Wenshuang naturally followed, but Hua Shengrong didn't want to come down, and the two ignored him.

In the north of the country, the so-called "resting place" is very simple, nothing more than some crooked huts and pergolas, most of which are set up only because of the water source, and here is no exception, all the buildings are set up around the only three wells, but they are considered large-scale, except for the best well for military use, there are also a few sheds on the road, and there are many pedestrians in them.

When Yun Chongbo and Xiao Wenshuang walked around, there were inevitably a few Xiangren cavalry following behind them, and they had no choice but to pretend that they didn't know.

In fact, along the way, Xiao Wenshuang has proposed to Yun Chongbo many times to try to rob the horse and escape, but those Xiang people are extremely careful, they really can't find a way, although they are not good at the stage, the total number of nearly 200 people, are some young and strong men who are skilled in arching horses, in this grassland desert, the two are not familiar with the road, and the equestrian skills are not good, unless they are all killed, otherwise, even if they escape for a day or two, they will be caught up. The two of them discussed several times, but they couldn't think of a way.

As for the events of the day, Yun Chongbo didn't say anything to Xiao Wenshuang, but even if he had no intention, it was not a glorious thing to see a woman taking a bath, he was hesitant, and he was always embarrassed to explain, plus a Hua Shengrong gags there, talking nonsense, and having a headache, but he likes Xiao Wenshuang to be cold, and he can deter Hua Shengrong, and he has already made up his mind, only recognizing Yun Chongbo as a master, no matter what he does, it must be someone else's fault, but it also saves him a lot of tongue work.

Since that day after the incident in the stone forest, Yun Chongbo still didn't know how to get along, but Xiao Wenshuang adjusted very quickly, when it was not dark, he had already gotten up as if nothing had happened, and everything was as usual in his behavior, and he only never mentioned it, as if nothing had happened, but his words gradually decreased, and even some returned to the appearance of the first few days, which made Yun Chongbo a little unprepared.

(Alas, women, women after all...)

said that he was lounging, but Yun Chongbo was still worried about what he would face soon, paced a few steps, and unconsciously pulled his head down, stared at the ground, and said: "Wenshuang, you say, this time, we, will we..."

"Smell the frost?"

In the past, as long as Yun Chongbo opened his mouth, Xiao Wenshuang would always agree to say whatever he said, in order to show respect, Yun Chongbo was also strange, but now he suddenly couldn't hear Xiao Wenshuang speak, and he was very surprised, thinking: "What's wrong with Wenshuang..." There is also a small well over there, but it is much smaller, which is used by individual tourists in the past, and when Yun Chongbo also looked at it, he only saw five or six people sitting there drinking water, so what was wrong?

"Smell the frost?"

Xiao Wenshuang suddenly came back to his senses and said busily: "Childe, I'm sorry, I'm distracted in the next one." When Yun Chongbo asked her again how she was distracted, she only said that she had skipped the fatigue of the past few days, and she was a little uncomfortable, so she didn't say much.

Yun Chongbo heard that Xiao Wenshuang was unwell, and he was immediately worried, just thinking: "Wenshuang is a good kung fu, harder than me, I can stand it, how can she get uncomfortable?" Don't be hit twice by the old man Ao that day, and there will be any sequelae...", so he hurriedly pulled Xiao Wenshuang back to the car, and taught her to drink more water, but she forgot to ask Xiao Wenshuang about her distraction.

Therefore, he didn't see the shadow that flashed on Xiao Wenshuang's brows.

(Is it him?) But, how could it be? At this time, Jinzhou should be in chaos, he should be in the era of inextricability, how can he have the leisure to visit the desert? ）

(No, it's for Childe...) ）

"Hey, nephew, seriously, shouldn't you thank me? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be so comfortable now, you have food and drink, you live well, and even your clothes have changed..."

"Shut up! Otherwise, I'm going to have to do it this time!"

Answering angrily, Yun Chongbo had a bitter face, clasped his hands, and turned back and forth.

… It was already the fourth day since the three of them were brought back to the Xiang people's camp outside the city of Iguli.

In the past four days, the three of them were only trapped in the Xiang people's camp, and they were not allowed to leave at will, but they were not treated with any hostility, they ate and drank well, and all the clothes and money they had left in the city were returned, but except for the first day after Sha Ruxue mysteriously showed her face once, there were no other high-level Xiang people who appeared here, and in the past four days, the three of them seemed to have been forgotten, and they were raised in Xiang Ren's army.

(Fuck, fuck...)

Originally, what I was most afraid of was being humiliated by her after seeing Sha Ruxue, but now, Yun Chongbo felt that even if he was tortured by her, it would be better than waiting for such an immortal.

(Fuck, girl, what the hell is she up to...)

When Yun Chongbo had a splitting headache, Xiao Wenshuang was also in deep thought, but what she was thinking about was completely different from Yun Chongbo.

(In the past few days, the number of Xiang people has gradually increased, and the people from all over the world seem to have more noble people, and look, Xiang people are preparing to be at this conference, so what will they do next?) )

(Although they succeeded in plotting against the real people, although there was the cooperation of the traitor of the giant gate, but, to completely control the Taiping Road and make the territory of Jinzhou peaceful, it would still consume a lot of resources, at least, if there was no cooperation of the Wanyan family, it would be impossible to block all the roads to the south and control all the news and signs, but, in this way, coupled with the troops who were previously transferred back from the border in order to confuse the real people, the border defense of Jinzhou must have been seriously damaged, in other words, At this time, it is the best opportunity for Xiang Ren to enter the army, although the cold winter is not conducive to raising troops, but, in the face of an almost blank border defense, can they really endure it? )

(Even the immeasurable sea has come here, it can be seen that this discussion has spread to a considerable extent, and if there is a real move, it will not be a trivial matter, if it is really the strength of the whole family of poor people to go south, Jinzhou, I'm afraid it's not good...)

(If that's the case, what should I do?) )

With her eyes flickering, Xiao Wenshuang's heart was like electricity, filtering all the resources that are beneficial to you and the situations that are unfavorable to you one by one, analyzing them one by one, trying to deduce a "way", but there is a way that "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice", in the face of the dilemma of almost no resources in his hands at present, although Xiao Wenshuang is unwilling, he can only admit that even if the worst estimate comes true, he may only be a bystander, and there is no way to change anything.

(Damn, if I'm still a canopy wolf...)

Thinking about something that she knew was impossible, Xiao Wenshuang would not waste much time on this kind of "fantasy", exhausting her intelligence, she was still trying to find and think.

(At the moment, we are only limited in our freedom of movement, and at the moment, they don't seem to be too hostile to us, so maybe in a little while, maybe there will be a little more "freedom", then...)

(Is "he" here because of my "conjecture"?) And if that's the case, will you be able to achieve better results by joining forces with "him"? )

(However, to join forces with "him" would be to say...)

Hesitating, Xiao Wenshuang fell into a deeper "silence" and "thinking".

When Xiao Wenshuang pondered, a feast was raging in a huge tent about seventy zhang away from her in a straight line.

It was a typical grassland feast: less than twenty guests in total had their own little table with a whole bag of mare's milk wine and salt pepper and other spices. The table was arranged in a circle, and in the center of the circle was a raging fire. Four shirtless men each carrying a fat sheep, kept roasting on the fire, next to them stood four boys, all carrying shiny knives in their hands, just looking at the eyes of the roasters, as soon as they got a signal, they raised the knife and fell, and the roasted meat pieces were just right, and they were sent to each person's table as fast as flying. Although everyone also wears a knife, but some people are still troublesome, that is, directly hold the meat in their hands, pick up the salt cube with the other hand and rub it on the meat a few times, bite off the lower mouth, splash the oil juice, and then send it down with a large mouthful of mare's milk wine.

Those four people are the top roasters among the Xiang people, this fire is extremely vigorous, but the guests at the banquet eat too quickly, it is actually meat to the plate, and there is no breath, if it were not for the fact that there are more than a dozen costumed dancers around the fire who are indulging in a whirlwind, attracting a lot of attention, there would have been an embarrassing scene of a group of people drooling and looking at the immature sheep in this tent.

It's just that, compared to that, a group of people drooling and looking at the dancer with their eyes open, it's hard to say where it is...

Although the appearance is ugly and the conversation is vulgar, if you look closely, you will find that each of the characters sitting around the fire also has a strong body, sharp eyes and a confident demeanor.

Strong can resist the wind and sand and cold and heat, sharp can find water sources and evil wolves, and self-confidence can lead subordinates and slaves, these three things are what every leader must have, not to mention, the people gathered here now are at least the heads of a big clan?

In the middle of the throne, there is no doubt that the sea is immeasurable, and his left hand is a strong man who looks to be in his forties, bald head, wearing a pale golden shoulder armor, as if he is not used to sitting on the chair, but he actually kicks his left foot on the chair, and holds a large jar of wine in the cup in his right hand, but he does not stop drinking, but he does not eat much meat. The man on his right hand was older, fifty or sixty years old, his face was full of wrinkles, his face was very gloomy, and he was slowly drinking wine and eating meat, but when he occasionally raised his head, he saw that his eyes were blooming, and there was no aging wrinkle.

Standing behind the two of them, there were actually two people from the Sha Ruxue Yue clan, and based on this alone, the identities of those two people were already about to come out.

The bald man's head sat down with Jin Luonao, and there was a man dressed as a forty-year-old manager beside him to accompany him to laugh and serve, but Jin Luonao had great respect for the man, although he did not force him to sit down, but he did not dare to teach the servants behind him to do it for him like other people at the table.

When the wine was half-drunk and the fat sheep saw the bones, the strong man looked at the immeasurable sea, and said with a smile: "Is the sea sweating enjoyable?" ”

Dahai Wuliang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you Shamur Khan for your hospitality." ”

The strong man "Shamur" laughed loudly, his voice was so loud that even the whole tent was shaken, and the dust fell, and the guests below were defenseless, and a few of them were sprinkled on their bodies, so they were a little displeased, but they did not dare to attack, and only looked at Shamur, and no one spoke.

Amidst the laughter, Shamur said aloud: "Thanks to the blessing of the Immortal Heaven, let the friends from all over the world come to my Shamur grassland to share my wine, food and salt, now, the distinguished guests from all sides, are they still satisfied with my Shamur's hospitality?" ”

In the midst of the roar, the gloomy man sitting opposite Shamur stood up, pressed his right hand on his chest, and said with a smile: "The Bailing of the grassland knows that in Shamur Khan's tent, there will always be the most mellow wine and the hottest stove, and compared with the dancers of Shamur Khan, the most beautiful female slave girl of my Yinshan Yue clan is only like a sick cow in front of a cow. ”

The man spoke very politely, but Shamur didn't dare to accept it calmly, so he hurriedly threw down the wine jar, stood up, and pressed his right hand on his chest, and said: "There is a moon as beautiful as the sun in the sky, and there is a Yueshi as majestic as Yin Mountain on the earth. ”

He added: "Since Tahe Khan has taken a fancy to these women, they are my gifts to Tahe Khan. As soon as he said that, the dancers had already stopped dancing, bowed down together, and said in a coquettish voice: "See Venerable Tahe Khan, may the body of the Great Khan last as long as the green mountains, and may the eyes of the Great Khan be as high as the eagle." ”

Tahe laughed a few times and said, "Shamur Khan's hospitality, I accept it." ”

He also said: "I came west this time, in fact, I also brought some gifts, it just so happens that the heads of all the clans and the most noble Dahai Khan are here today, so how about asking Shamur Khan to appreciate the light and accept my Yinshan herd?" As he spoke, he took out a scroll of silk from his bosom, but everyone was stunned.

The meeting of the leaders of the various clans of the Xiang people, originally an annual regular meeting, the purpose was to discuss the matter of dividing the water and grass at the border of the various ethnic groups in the next spring, and to talk about the rights and wrongs of several disputes this year, which is also the rules established by the sea in the desert sand tribe, the Yinshan Yue clan and the Hetao Jin clan with the help of the three clans, the purpose is to reduce the internal fighting of the Xiang people because of the competition for water and grass pastures, but when the khans of the various ethnic groups were still in the middle of the road, the news of the change in Jinzhou came, and everyone was shaken, so they changed the matter of going south, and now the conference has been held on the third day. For the past three days, Tahe has been vague and does not show his attitude, so he thought of it, but today he suddenly threw out a gift? Jin Luo's face changed slightly, and he said in his heart: "This old fox, dare to see the situation clearly and want to make a statement?" Seeing the immeasurable sea and expressionless face, my heart was even more worried, "Could it be that the master also knows about this, or has the master hinted at something to him first?" ”

In the past few days, the leaders have been arguing endlessly, and their attitudes have gradually shown that Sha Ruxue's father "Shamur" is the leader of the main battle faction, and Jin Luonao and his clan's think tank "Jin Ribei" are strongly advocating to act cautiously and do not advocate hastily raising troops on this cold winter day. Yue's Gou's father "Yue's Tahe" and the three-person teacher "The Sea is Immeasurable" but they have heard a lot and said little, and their attitudes are very vague. Although the Xiang people are numerous, but after many years of integration and annexation, there is no longer the situation of thousands of clans, and there are really no more than 20 clans in the whole grassland to make a name and be respected, and among them, the power of these four clans together has accounted for sixty percent of the entire Xiang people, compared with them, if the remaining forces can not be united, it is indeed not worth a bit, and they are also attached to the three clans respectively, it is a few days of disputes, and the focus has gradually changed to the competition between the two clans of Shajin against the Yinshan Yue clan, although it is not clear, but both of them understand: at this stalemate, who the Yue clan supports, the dispute in the past few days can be said to have been concluded.

Shamur's mind is far inferior to Jin Luo's brain, and when Jin Luo's mind has a fixed number in his heart, he is still stunned, and said: "Tahe Khan, you are..." ”

The man, who was nearly fifty years old, was called Bak, who was good at writing and had a good mind, and who had always held the position of steward in Shamur's account, and who had won his trust, and when he saw Shamur handing it over, he took it with both hands, unfolded it, looked at it, and read: "In order to show Tahat Khan's respect for the venerable Shamur Khan, I will send it to the lord today..."

Shamur was a little impatient and said, "What's wrong?" Buck hurriedly said, "No, it's fine." His hands were still shaking.

Ta He smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a sense of pride in his expression.

"In order to show Tahkhan's respect for the Venerable Shamur Khan, he has sent 1,000 bulls, 1,000 cows, 1,000 one-year-old calves, 3,000 of the best horses, 10,000 sheep, 20 carts of silk and iron, 3 carts of salt, and 3 carts of brick tea..."

By the halfway point, most people, including Shamur, were stunned, and the amount Buck had quoted was comparable to the possessions of most of the smaller entire Di tribe, a gift like this that no one had ever heard of in the grasslands in the past.

Able to keep his face unchanged, the sea is immeasurable, and so is Jin Luo's brain, although he was shocked before, but with the announcement of the gifts one by one and the exclamations in the tent one after another, he regained his calm.

(Such a generous gift is by no means hasty, this old fox must have been planning for a long time, in that case, his purpose can only be one...)

Thinking of this, Jin Luo couldn't help but raise his head and look behind Shamur, although he was reluctant and unexpected, but at that moment, he really clearly felt what it meant to be "worried" and "regretful", and what was "heartache".

(fuck...)

“… Five huge tents wrapped in gold, in addition to the above items, were sent to the entire Ghmi steppe as a sign of Tah Khan's friendship and respect for Shamur Khan. ”

After listening to the last sentence, Shamur couldn't sit still anymore, his face was stunned, his mouth opened wide, and said: "Tahkhan, this, this, you are..."

Tahaha laughed and said, "Why, is Shamur Khan not satisfied with my gift? When Shamur heard this, he woke up like a dream, shook his head again and again, and grinned: "That, there, this is really, you are really..."

In the midst of the uproar, Dahai Wuliang smiled slightly and said, "Blue Wolf Khan from Yin Mountain, the gift you have given is a richness that we have never heard of in history. ”

"Then, what kind of gift should the Desert Eagle, which has always been known for its boldness, show his generosity and nobility in return?"

Tahe showed a respectful smile and bowed to the sea, saying, "The Great Khan's words are always full of wisdom and insight into the hearts of each of us. He said to Shamur: "Venerable Shamur Khan, I have given these gifts only to ask for one thing from you, one of Shamur Khan's most beloved things. ”

Shamur was still a little confused, and said, "What is it?" Sha Ruxue suddenly turned red on the ground, and stomped his feet and said, "Dad!" Yue's face also changed slightly, showing that he had not thought of the purpose of Tahe before.

Tahaha laughed and said, "No wonder everyone says that the daughter of Shamur Khan has a more beautiful beauty than a hundred spirits, and eyes sharper than an eagle. ”

Fang Dao: "Shamur Khan, I am here in the tower, and I sincerely ask you, please give glory to my Yin Mountain, so that it can marry the most beautiful princess in our entire grassland." ”

Jin Luo's face changed greatly, and he forgot all about his usual calmness, and he was almost about to shoot the case, shouting, but he was pressed on his shoulders by a peaceful and stable force, and he couldn't get up!

A low, calm voice came into his ears: "Young master, no..."

Jin Luo's brain was already scheming, but he was only shocked, and he had already recovered, and said in his heart: "Uncle Bei is right, now is not the time to make a statement. ”

He thought again: "Brother Gou didn't mention anything before, and looking at him, he didn't seem to know, thinking that this old fox was proposing for his youngest son." When he thought of the man, his face did not show anything, but his heart was not free, and he felt a sense of contempt.

Guo Tingta said: "... For my second son, the Yueshi Midu, I ask to marry the pearl of Shamur Khan's palm. When this sentence was said again, even Yue's face was angry, but he didn't dare to attack, and the anger only flashed, and he forcibly suppressed it.

Before Shamur could answer, Sha Ruxue had already lost her temper, rushed forward, and said, "Dad, are you in such a hurry to drive me out?" Shamur was stunned and said, "Of course not..."Before she finished speaking, Sha Ruxue had already said loudly: "I don't want to marry yet, you adults say something big, I'm not interested, don't involve me in it, okay?!" As he spoke, he threw his hand, only to see the red light move, and he had already grabbed the door! Only a tent was left full of embarrassment and forced to look at each other.

In the chaos, everyone couldn't help but look at the exit of the tent, so even the most thoughtful Jin Luo Brain didn't notice it, and at that moment, there was a cruel cold light, flashing in the old and cloudy eyes.

(The reaction is so strong, I'm afraid that the previous judgment was right, that girl, sure enough, she has something on her mind...)

The sudden impact made everyone a little overwhelmed, and everyone felt a little bored, so soon, the banquet ended hastily, although in the end Shamur still accepted the gift list of Tahe, but, in the eyes of most of the guests, at that moment, Shamur's expression could not be said to be happy.

I was almost "angry" because of the "accident", and I felt the "anxiety" born of "worry" even more strongly. After forcibly holding on to the sea with a smile and entertainment that can still be called perfect, Shamur and Ta were dismissed one by one, and several leaders who had always been good friends with the Jin clan laughed and laughed, and hinted at their attitude in the following meetings, Jin Luonao's "patience" was almost completely exhausted, and when he finally returned to the Jin clan's station, he didn't even pay attention to Jin Ribei's obvious hope to talk to him deeply, and simply retreated outside the tent with the words "I'm tired, let's get up early tomorrow and discuss it". Step into his living tent alone.

In the tent, at his request, all the lamps and candles had been extinguished along with the stove, leaving only the deepest darkness and cold, and in such an environment he could calm his mood a little, and restore his sobriety and sharpness to his precious level.

So, immediately, he realized that something was wrong in the darkness.

"Who?"

Although he was shocked, he was not chaotic, and while asking coldly, Jin Luo's brain did not retreat but advanced, and slowly pressed towards the corner that made him "alert" with an extremely slow and steady footwork.

"Me?"

With a chuckle, a white shadow turned out of the darkness, and when Jin Luo's brain saw his appearance clearly, he was so calm that he actually took half a step back in shock.

“… It's you? ”

"Yes."

Smiling, the white shadow approached Jinluonao.

"I, a lobbyist."

"And now, friend, are you willing to listen to me just like that, or do you want to immediately summon the many Jin clan elites outside the tent and divide my lobbyist into pieces?"

Early the next morning.

"Whew, the taste of freedom, that's good..."

In an almost "moved" tone, Yun Chong let out a long sigh and kept stretching his waist. Next to her, Hua Shengrong was busy nodding vigorously in agreement, although Xiao Wenshuang was still able to maintain her usual reserve, but from the occasional flash of joy at the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, it was enough to see that she at least had the same joy as Yun Chongbo.

… Because, if you count from the time the two of them were blocked by the Xiang cavalry at the border of the steppe, the days of losing freedom have lasted for a full eleven days, eleven days.

"Ha, huh, ha, huh..."

It seems that even the air tastes good when it is "free", Yun Chongbo breathed hard, and each sip was slow and long, and he didn't seem to even be willing to speak.

Next to him, smiling, Jin Luonao seemed to be waiting patiently, and he couldn't even see the slightest impatience on his face.

This morning, with an extremely gentle and friendly smile, Jin Luo Nao came to announce to the three of them that all the things in the past were just misunderstandings, and the freedom that the three of them were forcibly deprived of would be returned now.

In the past few days, there have been countless sulks, and Yun Chongbo can be satisfied with a few words of apology, but when Xiao Wenshuang has other plans and refuses to entangle again, and Hua Shengrong refuses to look away from the plate full of gold and silver from the first sight, he who has been isolated invisibly can only cry out in vain.

(Alas...)

However, all this, when Yun Chongbo was finally able to open his arms as "free" and indulge in embracing the morning breeze, he felt that it was all worth it...

(Finally, I can be freed from that minx's nightmare...)

According to Jin Luonao's explanation: After the first battle in the horse market, Sha Ruxue captured Hua Shengrong, tortured the whereabouts of the two, and then arranged people and horses, chased the whereabouts of the two, and captured them to return to the west, everyone thought that Yun Chongbo must have a lot of suffering to eat, but who thought, somehow, Sha Ruxue came to an end, but he seemed to have scruples, and did not seriously deal with the two, just house arrest, although Jin Luonao and others wondered in their hearts, they always knew that Sha Ruxue was willful, and did not dare to dissuade them.

The rather simple and skillful statement made Xiao Wenshuang feel slightly displeased and suspicious when he heard it, but when he heard it in the ears of Yun Chongbo, who had been locked up for many days and had already jumped like thunder, it really won my heart.

"yes, yes, I thought she was a minx... Uh, why do you look like this, did I say something wrong? ”

With a wry smile, Jin Luo took the words away, he was proficient in speaking skills, and with just a few words, he moved the topic away from this, and hinted to Yun Chongbo that about the events of that day, it was not very glorious, including Sha Ruxue and Yue's Gou and himself, he didn't want more people to know, and he only said that there was a little misunderstanding to the outside world, hoping that Yun Chongbo could cooperate and not show his stuff. Yun Chongbo City Mansion is not deep, and there are no distracting thoughts, but he didn't feel anything, and he was in a hurry to leave, just agreeing one after another. Xiao Wenshuang was secretly in her heart, and thought: "This guy has a pure accent and skillful language, and it is obvious that he has made a lot of hard work in my Xia culture, and his ambition is not small, so he should not be despised." ”

But in the end, Jin Luo's supplementary explanation still disappointed Yun Chongbo: although there was no malicious intent, but, at least, during this period of time, the Xiangren Conference and everything else were quite high-level secrets that could not be spread at will, so although the actions of the three of them would no longer be restricted, it was best not to leave Ikuli City for the time being, and when everything settled, there would be special arrangements so that the three of them could go in the direction they originally wanted.

"To put it bluntly, is this still the same as the original, at most the cell has been enlarged."

After breaking up with Jin Luonao, he was swaying in the city, and the disappointed Yun Chongbo complained helplessly.

"Well, nephew, it's not right for you to say that, at least, if I spend a few days in prison there will be so much gold and silver to be taken, I'd rather be locked up by them for the rest of my life..."

"Don't compare someone like you to someone else?!"

yelling, taking the opportunity to vent some dissatisfaction, Yun Chongbo remembered a very strange thing.

"Smell the frost. Why haven't you been in a hurry lately? ”

For Xiao Wenshuang, the first priority after the escape is, of course, to protect Yun Chongbo, and in addition, is to try to go south to find one of the Taiping Sanqing who is preaching semi-underground in the south, "Yuqing", according to Xiao Wenshuang, Yuqing has always been not very harmonious with the giant gate, and the "Shenpan Eight Deceits" in his hands is the strongest combination of sorcerers in the new generation of Taiping Dao, in a sense, it may even be more difficult to deal with than the "Nine Generals of Tianmen", as long as he can know the truth, then not, Maybe at least it can form a confrontation with the giant gate, so as not to make the entire Taiping Road lose its way. Therefore, she has always been quite anxious to take the route south, and when she was forced back by the Xiang cavalry, her mood was far more anxious than Yun Chongbo, but in the last few days, Yun Chongbo found that Xiao Wenshuang's emotions slowly calmed down, and the desire for "going south" seemed to have slowly disappeared.

"Oh what, is it?"

Unexpectedly, Yun Chongbo suddenly asked such a question, Xiao Wenshuang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then in her usual style, she said lightly that since it is useless to be anxious, it is better to calm down and observe what can be mastered in front of her.

Originally, there was no suspicion, Yun Chongbo just asked a question in passing, naturally he would not delve into Xiao Wenshuang's words, let alone pay attention to whether there was anything abnormal in Xiao Wenshuang's expression, so it was impossible for him to read Xiao Wenshuang's heart words that were really swirling in his chest.

(It has reached the point where the blockade personnel have left, that is, everything now, it is impossible for the outside world to know at all, and such a prevention will be done, of course, it will not be because of the fear that the black sailors will cross the border and raid here, then no, the answer, there is only one left...)

(But, if so, what should I do?) )

"Ruxue, is it really interesting to that kid?"

On a high ground about dozens of zhang away, Yue's Gou turned his back to the rising sun, stood with his hands in his hands, stared at the back of Yun Chongbo gradually blending into the crowd, and frowned.

"Absolutely not."

In a categorical tone, Jin Luonao spoke in a completely different style from his usual style of always leaving room for it, and his face was completely devoid of Shicai's gentle smile.

"Ruxue, it's just too 'impulsive' and 'kind'."

"Because of 'impulsiveness', she will recklessly use the elite soldiers of the Sand Clan to capture that kid, but because of 'kindness', she began to hesitate and couldn't bear to deal with that kid seriously."

"If she wants to do it, she will do it, and the impact and consequences of that thing, especially the opinions of others about her because of it, such as snow, she will never think about it, to consider..."

Yueshi Gou nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”

"But, alas, that's not the judgment of the majority."

"Since last night, most of the leaders have begun to believe that the reason why Ruxue would use such drastic means to reject Father Khan's proposal is because in her heart, there are already people, and that kid has been extremely honored to become the first choice in the minds of quite a few people."

"So, boy, he's in danger."

Speaking indifferently, Ling Yue's Gou was slightly shocked, and said, "You really did it on purpose." ”

Jin Luonao did not deny it, and said calmly: "Yes." ”

"It was indeed me who discussed with Ruxue and made up a reason to get her to agree to release her."

"In this way, first, you can avoid more presumptuous statements about Ruxue, and second, you can do that, and you can also induce some people to take action..."

When it came to "some people", Jin Luo's voice lowered and looked at Yue's hook. Yue's face was expressionless, as if he hadn't heard anything. Jin Luo's brain paused for a moment, and suddenly said: "Actually, Ruxue, she is a good girl, a good man who deserves to have a good man, and a good girl who deserves to be loved well." It's a pity..."

Yueshi Gou couldn't help but say, "It's a pity? ”

Jin Luonao said lightly: "It's a pity, but she is also Shamur Khan's favorite daughter, and she is the disciple that Dahai Khan values the most." ”

The corners of Yue's mouth twitched, and said, "How?" ”

Jin Luo said slowly: "Master once taught us, Xia people have a saying, called 'The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty', do you remember?" ”

Yueshi hooked: "Remember." And he spoke no more.

Zhi was silent for a long time, and Jin Luo said again: "What do you think?" ”

Yueshi looked into the distance and said slowly: "What are the plans of Father Khan, he didn't tell me. ”

"Of course, I'm not interested."

"My wish is to have a small pasture of my own at the foot of Yin Mountain, and whenever the weather is good, I will take my horse into the mountain to enjoy the breath of Yin Mountain and try to match its rhythm."

"I'm not interested in the position of Khan of the Yinshan Yue clan, and I don't care who my father Khan will sit on."

"However, if Father Khan's plan is to use Ruxue, or even, if he wants to hurt Ruxue, I, Yue's Hook, will never sit idly by, and will never acquiesce and ignore it..."

Somewhere in a tent.

Although it was daylight, because the tent was so tightly covered that there was hardly a trace of daylight penetrating, the tent was extremely dark, and there was no star in the night.

In the darkness, there is a faint blue eye flashing, and according to legend, it is the proudest feature of the Yinshan clan that has inherited the noble bloodline of the "Great God Blue Wolf".

“… That's it, this morning, the kid has been released. ”

"Hmm..."

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Ta He did not speak immediately, but crossed his hands and pressed his big fingers against his chin, thoughtfully, and after a while, Fang said, "What do you think?" ”

Listening to Tahe's question, the few people looked at each other, and one of them said: "This time the marriage is a big matter, since we suspect that Miss Sha has something to do with that kid, we would rather kill the mistake than let it go." ”

Tahe nodded slightly and said, "What about the three of you?" Seeing that the three of them also expressed their approval, there was a slight disappointment in their expressions, and he said: "That kid was released, is it the meaning of the sand girl herself, or the hands and feet of the golden boy, have you figured it out?" ”

This question was so much unexpected that they didn't know.

Ta He snorted coldly, stood up, slowly paced a few steps in the tent, and said, "Go, find out." When those people heard him say this, they were all stunned, and although they agreed, they couldn't help but be curious, and one of the oldest people said boldly: "May I ask the Great Khan, what does this mean?" ”

Ta He glanced at the man and sneered, "This matter is very important!"

"If the sand girl put it, then the kid must be killed, and if it is the golden boy's hands and feet, then this is a trap, a trap that wants us to provoke the sand girl."

"Go, find out, and reply!"

After those people Nono withdrew, Ta Yi was alone, and his face became even more gloomy.

(A bunch of rubbish!) In addition to being obedient, there is nothing to use, all added to one, and it is not as good as half a golden day monument!)

(Damn, if Gou Er is willing to listen to me...)

The blue light flickered, and Tahe fell into deep thought again.

"Boy."

“…”

"Boy."

“…”

"Boy!!"

"Ahh What are you doing?!"

Suddenly came back to his senses, Yun Chongbo hurriedly made up for his gaffe just now, but he didn't know how to curse hundreds of "dead girl pieces" in his heart.

Crossing his waist and staring at him obliquely, it was Sha Ruxue.

This morning, Xiao Wenshuang went out early, saying that she wanted to buy some things. Yun Chongbo finished breakfast and was talking nonsense with Hua Shengrong, Sha Ruxue suddenly arrived, and after the opening remarks that were not even cold, she directly kicked Hua Shengrong away and asked Yun Chongbo to accompany him to walk on the street.

And, when the trembling two dared to ask what she wanted to do, what they got was an infuriating answer.

"This, you Xia people should understand, right?"

"Didn't I hear that there are many people in your area who like to bring some cats, dogs, and the like when they go shopping, and they will wag their tails and bark anyway, and they will run around to relieve people's boredom?"

(Bastard, bastard...)

scolded hatefully in his heart, but Yun Chongbo had no way to think about it, and repeatedly used the truth of "the big husband can bend and stretch, I want to endure, I want to endure it again" and other truths to encourage himself, gritted his teeth and followed Sha Ruxue out of the door, but when he went out, Hua Shengrong suddenly came out again, and shouted ghostly behind him: "Virtuous nephew, you have to hold on, you must remember that even if it is a live dog, it is better than a dead man..."

(Is this girl stupid?) )

"At such a time, doing such a thing, you say, my junior sister, is she stupid?"

With his hands in front of his chest, he leaned in front of a half-closed door, and watched Sha Ruxue "go out on the street" with Yun Chongbo arrogantly, Jin Luonao asked lightly.

Behind him, in the room, a voice with a little smile replied leisurely.

"At least, in this matter, I think that Senior Sister Ling's actions are absolutely smart, and it also helps you to confirm a fact."

"Senior Sister Ling, I really don't have any interest in that kid."

"Oh, really?"

Nodding slightly, Jin Luo said in the head: "Friend, your tone seems to be quite sure?" ”

The voice said lightly: "If it is like ink and paper, it is natural to be sure, unless you are in the bureau, you will suffer from the first and the last." ”

Jin Luo's brain trembled slightly, and said, "Thank you for reminding me." ”

He said, "What's going on over there?" ”

The voice said, "Everything is as usual, and it is expected to be as scheduled." ”

Jin Luonao nodded and said, "Okay." He didn't speak again, his eyes swirled, just chasing Sha Ruxue, watching her and Yun Chongbo's backs gradually disappear into the streets.

(Alas...)

After eating the hundredth scolding today, Yun Chongbo wanted to break out for the hundredth time, wanting to vent his anger, but the hundredth time, he suppressed himself again and told himself, no, not now, the current self does not have the capital to turn his face with Sha Ruxue.

(Shame, shame...)

Deeply immersed in loss and frustration, Yun Chongbo didn't notice that Sha Ruxue's face passed by from time to time, a strange and mysterious smile; I didn't even notice that around me, there were always some mysterious eyes, which were about to leave.

At this time, there was only a kind of decadence and longing in Yun Chongbo's gaze, a feeling that made him glance back and forth meaninglessly, but he was so indifferent to almost all the details.

Even, when the figure he was already quite familiar with fell into his eyes, he also looked away indifferently, until he suddenly reacted, "It seems to be her?" , and quickly moved back.

(Huh, that's smelling frost?) )

(Does she have acquaintances here too?) )

Just do it, the next moment, Yun Chongbo had already raised his hand and greeted him loudly, not caring about Sha Ruxue's pretty face that was like frost and snow because of his qi knots, and he didn't see Xiao Wenshuang's jade face that was slightly lost because of his mistake.

(This kid is so rude to me!)

(Childe?!How could he be bumped into!)

The second daughter thought in an instant, Yun Chongbo was completely ignorant, and the only thing that made him react was the few shepherds who quickly retreated.

"Is it your friend, Sniffer? Why don't you leave without saying hello? ”

"Oh? No, it's not. ”

With a sophisticated smile, Xiao Wenshuang explained that she didn't know those people, but they took the initiative to lean over and ask her for directions, and asked if she wanted to buy anything, and said: "It's not good, they see that I'm single, and they can't say what they want to cheat or rob, but thanks to you, son, it's a coincidence?" Then he asked where Yun Chongbo had just gone, and he had taken the topic away without moving.

Yun Chongbo was not a deep and thoughtful person, and he had never even had the slightest suspicion about Xiao Wenshuang, so he didn't think much about it, but when Xiao Wenshuang secretly called for luck, an unexpected attack suddenly appeared.

"The herdsmen on the grassland are all bright and upright heroes, and they will suspect that they have disgusting people, and most of them have a muddy heart."

deliberately said it loudly, but Sha Ruxue tilted her face and didn't look at Xiao Wenshuang, and only threw half of her side face. The obvious provocation in the words, even Yun Chongbo could hear it clearly, and he was stunned for a while.

Sha Ruxue made an appointment with Yun Chongbo today, it was a different plan, in the morning, she pulled Yun Chongbo to turn around almost all the lively places in the city, and it was considered that the goal had been achieved, and she did not plan to eat with him, and was planning to kick him away, but now this situation, it seems that Yun Chongbo left her first, although she has no intention of Yun Chongbo, but the ancient beauties are more conceited, she is the only daughter of Shamur, she has been pampered in thousands of ways since she was a child, and she has been accommodating in every way, and she does not know how many people she has chased. Where was the experience of being ignored like this by a young man? Immediately he was furious, and he spoke much harshly.

If Sha Ruxue looked at Xiao Wenshuang unpleasantly, Xiao Wenshuang looked at her even more uncomfortable: Originally, the two of them would have today's situation, all of which were given by Sha Ruxue, Xiao Wenshuang would not be angry with her, and how Yun Chongbo offended Sha Ruxue at the beginning, although he was always vague, but after a few times, Xiao Wenshuang has also roughly figured out in his chest, although it is indeed Yun Chongbo's fault, but every time he thinks of it, there is still an indescribable unhappiness in his heart, which can be said to be "a long-standing grudge", and now Sha Ruxue actually provoked first, Can she still bear it? With his eyebrows raised, he wanted to speak, but he secretly said to himself: "This is the land of this maid after all, if you offend her, I am afraid that the matter of returning to the south will come to naught. He didn't talk back, just snorted, and said to Yun Chongbo: "Childe, it's almost noon, let's go back first." Although Yun Chongbo wanted to say hello to Sha Ruxue, but when he looked at Xiao Wenshuang's complexion, somehow, he couldn't speak, he only smiled at Sha Ruxue, and then went, Sha Ruxue didn't prevent Xiao Wenshuang from having this hand, although he wanted to attack, but he couldn't find the topic, he stood at the intersection dumbfounded, he couldn't say a word, and watched the two go, after a long time, he came back to his senses, stomped his right foot heavily, and stepped on a deep footprint on the ground that had been frozen to the ground by the severe cold!

That night, Xiang Ren resumed the feast, and Tahe really mentioned the matter of intermarriage to Shamur again, but Shamur seemed to have been angry with Sha Ruxue's evil voice, and when he mentioned this matter, he just smiled bitterly, and did not talk deeply. To the end, he always just smiled and watched, as if he was very interested in this matter, but he did not open his mouth to express his position.

Such a change, from Xiao Wenshuang's standpoint, should be "gratifying", but she can't know, and it is precisely because of this that she will make the "choice" that she will soon regret.

Alone, he meditated in the dark room for a long time, and he took the test for a long time, until the moon passed in the middle of the sky, and Xiao Wenshuang made up his mind.

(Righteousness is the most important, now you can't entangle the old hatred with him, once you should celebrate the festival, leave it until after returning to the south!)

After taking out the vermilion sand purchased in the morning and painting it on a yellow talisman according to some ancient method, Xiao Wenshuang slowly balled the yellow talisman and rubbed it into her hand, and she didn't know how to rub it, and when she spread her hand again, the yellow talisman was gone, and only a faint smoke curled up from her palm.

When Huang Fu turned into smoke, in a corner of Iguli City, a basin of calm blue water, suddenly a whirlpool swayed, and the smoke was lurking, looking at this change, a strange smile appeared.

(The fish are all hooked, it's time for the next step...)

The next day, it was a good day for Yun Chongbo.

Sha Ruxue didn't come to disturb again, Xiao Wenshuang didn't go missing, only Jin Luonao came to visit, and he was very sorry to say that he couldn't let the two of them return south for at least ten days, but when Xiao Wenshuang seemed to have thought about it, and there was no frustration or anxiety, it would not bother Yun Chongbo's mood.

(Alas, eat well, drink well, think about it, it's not a bad day, at least, it's much stronger than going south in a hurry, and then getting involved in the fighting methods of those monsters...)

For a long time, Yun Chongbo's understanding of Taiping Dao can be said to have no positive image: since childhood, he felt that they were a cult, rebelled, and after entering Jinzhou, he was robbed by them and died. Even though Zhang Nanjin can really be said to have died for him, in Yun Chongbo's heart, he is mostly to blame for being separated from his father and uncle and living in a foreign land; Second, he also had a plot against Yun Chongbo, because Yun Chongbo didn't understand his affection very much, especially when he couldn't get strong strength in the sea for a long time, he still had a little gratitude, which was even more diluted.

Speaking carefully, in the great Taiping Road, what can really make Yun Chongbo worry and care about it is actually only Xiao Wenshuang alone, and he has seen the horror of Jumen and others, he doesn't want Xiao Wenshuang to be in this whirlpool of life and death again, in fact, as far as his sincere position is concerned, he didn't want Xiao Wenshuang to find any more Yuqing and fight for what Jumen, but he didn't know how to open his mouth first, and secondly, he was born to be at peace with what happened, and after a few times, forget it, now I occasionally think about it, and I feel that "In fact, it's the New Year there, if it is delayed for a few more days, can make Wenshuang fade the idea of going south, then thank these people!"

Thinking happily, Yun Chongbo didn't notice that Xiao Wenshuang, who was quiet on the outside, would walk to the door from time to time to inspect the situation outside, and he didn't notice that the most important utensils for himself and Xiao Wenshuang had been beaten into a bag and placed in the house.

Until Hua Shengrong made a fuss and told Yun Chongbo that the house had been lowered, and pointed to the ghost-like words on the left side of the door to show him, Yun Chongbo still didn't feel anything, just fussed at him; It wasn't until Xiao Wenshuang suddenly appeared, only glanced at it and told them that it was just a naughty boy's play, and it was definitely not a rune and wiped it off with his feet, Yun Chongbo still didn't feel anything, but faintly felt that "Wenshuang's ears are so sharp..."

However, when Xiao Wenshuang wiped the words away and returned to the house, Hua Shengrong also walked away stupidly, not knowing what to do, when more than two hours had passed and the sky was already dark, Yun Chongbo, who was alone, suddenly shook violently!

(This, this is...)

Actually, this feeling is not unfamiliar, since he left the cave, he has often felt this way, and every time, it seems that something has been forcibly wedged into his mind, and after each time, he will suddenly think of something he has never heard of, and remember some places he has never been.

If he didn't have the opportunity to communicate more with Zhang Nanjian, he would not have understood that this was one of the basic characteristics of the "immortal": the experience of dozens of lifetimes of life had been planted back into his body through the sea, and if he could get the guidance of an expert, he could quickly develop his "complete realm" by mastering and understanding these "previous lives" one by one, and grasp the power as quickly as possible.

As for now, it is due to the sequelae of Zhang Nanjian's "mind reading" on him. Affected by Zhang Nanjian's ninth-level strong mana, although those memories destroyed Zhang Nanjian's efforts with their almost "infinite" qualities, they were also shaken and differentiated accordingly, generating countless extremely subtle "memory fragments", and what troubled Yun Chongbo from time to time was that these fragments would burst from time to time and turn into his memory.

Yun Chongbo has experienced it many times, and it is no longer strange for Yun Chongbo to do so, but this time, it has given him an unprecedented impact.

(This, what is this, I, how can I suddenly understand the meaning of those words, what is going on...)

The face was pale, not only for the phenomenon of being "ghosted" for himself, but also for the sudden understanding of the true meaning of those words.

(Indeed, it is true that it is not a charm, those, those, are the Tantric texts unique to the Taiping Dao?!)

When he understood the true meaning of those ghost painting talismans that represented "everything is ready, wait for the good news", Yun Chongbo's face was really difficult to see.

(Wenshuang, she's lying to me, behind my back, what the hell is she secretly doing?!)

"Knock knock!"

As if to answer Yun Chongbo's confusion, in the middle of the night that had fallen into silence, a hurried knock on the door suddenly sounded, and somehow, Yun Chongbo listened to it in his ears, and felt that the voice was like a stranger visiting in the dark night, full of unknown and uneasy.

(Who will it be...)

Questioning, Yun Chongbo hurriedly swept out, and sure enough, faster than him, Xiao Wenshuang had already rushed to the door.

"Wow."

"Bump!"

The door opened, and a herdsman covered in blood tumbled in, and in an instant, Yun Chongbo could clearly see that it was one of the herdsmen he bumped into talking to Xiao Wenshuang that day.

"You, what's wrong?!"

Shocked like this, Xiao Wenshuang couldn't help but lose color, and before she asked, the shepherd had already forcibly supported her, opened her eyes, and said something that made Yun Chongbo and Hua Shengrong, who had just run out, change color.

"It's lost, run away!"

(Run?!What's so serious?!)

Shocked by this accident, Yun Chongbo was already at a loss, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately understood that "what matter" would be so serious.

The sound of footsteps, the neighing of horses, the swing of swords, and the interweaving of all kinds of sounds, turning into a huge horror called "surrounding", completely enveloping this small courtyard, only a cursory listen, it can already be known that there are at least more than five hundred archers and horses outside, and among them there are even more powerful and good hands.

"Boom!"

There was a loud bang, the surrounding courtyard walls were all destroyed, and in the smoke and dust, only the cold light flickered, and countless bladed arrows lined up, pointing to the three people, a light-armored military general with an angry face, strode forward, glanced at the three people, and sneered: "Very good, it's all here." ”

Suddenly, he waved his hand and shouted: "Sons, these three summer dogs, who are crazier than hungry wolves, dare to arrange to assassinate our honorable Lord Shamur Khan, and take them all down for me!"

(What?!)

His face turned pale from shock, Yun Chongbo only felt that his movements were much slower, and even just turning his head to look at Xiao Wenshuang made him feel pain in his neck.

(Smell the frost, you...)
