CHAPTER XXXIX

The 'exit' in the chief's mouth refers to the Yumen Pass and Yangguan in Liangzhou. The areas from these two passes www.biquge.info are collectively referred to as the Western Regions, bounded by the city wall, and are no longer under the jurisdiction of the Chu State.

Since the opening of this trade route, there have been many horse thieves. However, with the efforts of the merchants, the Liangzhou Prefecture Governor has also sent troops to clear the money many times, and at the same time reached a good relationship with the king of the Western Regions, and there are cavalry patrols from the Western Regions on the main road, so it is much safer than the trade routes to other countries.

If you want to find a relatively stable area that is not controlled by the Chu State and is well-informed, it is a good choice to stay in the Western Regions.

Although there were many twists and turns on the road, after finally bidding farewell to the leader of the caravan, he finally found the person he was looking for after several tosses and turns.

It's just that at this time, the clothes on the boy's body were already a whole circle smaller than his figure.

He also stood outside a yurt that looked plainly dressed but covered a large area, took a deep breath, and rang the bell hanging outside the tent.

In fact, there are many towns and settlements in the Western Regions, but most nomadic herders still use yurts, so that they can move according to the changes in water and grass. This is also something that he only learned about after he arrived in the Western Regions.

Therefore, the yurts of nomads are generally not very luxuriously decorated, but the size is representative of their family background.

'Jingle jingle bell', the crisp sound of the bell rings.

"Who is it so early?" A girl's voice came from inside the yurt.

She expertly opened the curtain of the yurt, stood on tiptoe and used a rope to hold the curtain open, and then turned her head to look at Yijiang.

The two pairs of big dark eyes on the small face plate reflected the clear light, and it could be seen that the owner must be a clever and intelligent girl.

The little girl's face was slightly red, and she opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

But he quickly calmed down, showed a big smile, and said to the little girl. "Excuse me, but Mr. Wang Da's feet? The son of the deceased begs to see. ”

"Don't laugh, you're laughing so ugly." Qi Chi said dissatisfiedly. Although Yijiang's smile looked bright, she didn't feel any joy from the boy in front of her at all, nor did she convey any feelings through her smile, no matter how she looked at it, it just seemed like a perfunctory or habitual thing.

"Don't be rude." A man's voice came from inside the yurt.

A man with a beard and a crown and a young man walked out of the yurt, and was slightly stunned when he saw that there was only one person.

Seeing that Yijiang respectfully made a junior salute, he nodded slightly, "I am Wang Da, I am Qianhan, come in and talk." ”

He also walked into the house with him, took out a crumpled letter from his clothes, and handed it to Wang Da with both hands.

"Ah Weng ordered me to come to Mr. to find him, saying that he was an old friend of Mr., and hoped that Mr. would let him follow him for the sake of his former friendship, and let him be sent."

The envelope that he took out looked like it was stained with a lot of stains, and in addition to being crumpled, it also had some peculiar smells, which was obviously an important thing that had been kept close to the owner for a long time.

Wang Da accepted the letter without the slightest disgust, and did not open it in a hurry, but looked at Yijiang.

'What a look,' he let out a long sigh.......

He will also stand there, with a decent smile on his face, looking lively and lovable, and very calm. But the eyes of a five-year-old boy could not fully hide the grief, tension and bitterness of his master.

After all, no matter how precocious it is, it's just a child.

Although the appearance is completely different, but in terms of the boy's behavior and temperament, even if he doesn't open the letter, he knows whose child he is.

Wang Da's big hand rubbed Yijiang's hair.

"Thank you for your hard work......"

"I will also be fortunate to be able to follow the service of Mr. Zuo, it is not hard." will also hold back his urge to knock out Wang Dashou, and reply with a smile.

Wang Da looked at Yijiang's smile and was silent for a moment, then noticed his clothes and called out. "Qi Chi, go and get the clothes of the return."

"Don't laugh, I've said your smile is so ugly!" Qi Chi rolled his eyes, walked to the yurt next door and took out a set of young man's clothes.

"Don't be rude!" Wang Da scolded and handed the clothes to Yijiang's hands. "This girl, who lost her mother since she was a child, is used to being neither big nor small by me on weekdays, and I will have to bother you to take care of her in the future."

"I'm not wrong, laughing is worse than crying, so why laugh!" Qi Chi said dissatisfiedly, walked in front of Wang Da, stood on tiptoe and looked at Yijiang. "Don't think that I don't understand anything when I'm young, you must be someone who comes to my daddy to apprentice, and what do you say to serve left and right."

"Qi Chi!" Wang Da frowned, and flicked his sleeves to separate her.

"Xiao Yugui, take her to today's morning class."

In the smaller yurt next to it, someone seemed to answer, and a teenager walked in.

This person is that Xiao Yugui, and Yijiang's gaze was unconsciously attracted by him.

The young man had a handsome face, a calm and calm body, although he was only ten years old, he looked like he was in his twenties, and the wisdom and heaviness in his eyes that took time to accumulate had already taken shape.

When he saw Yijiang, he smiled politely, which made people feel very comfortable. Then he walked over and half-squatted down, looked at Qi Chi levelly, and helped her hide her uncombed hair. "Sir has something important to discuss with your guests, and it is not the way of a noble lady to interrupt it. Moreover, everyone has good and bad things, and if you don't understand it, you will be short-sighted and think of yourself as big, neither of which is advisable. ”

Qi Chi blushed when Xiao Yugui said this, nodded and lowered his head.

"I had nothing to do this morning and made some snacks, would you like to try them?" Xiao Yugui stood up and owed a debt to Yijiang, showing a touch of apology, and did not ignore him because of the other party's age.

He will also smile back.

Qi Chi took Xiao Yugui's hand and walked out, but stopped when he passed by Yijiang and glanced at him. "However, my father belongs to the Tianji lineage, and only one disciple is passed on from generation to generation. I already have a brother to return, you have no hope! ”

Hearing this, his smile did not change, and he still stood there respectfully, but his fists clenched unconsciously, and a blank color appeared in his eyes.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Wang Da on the side.

"You go wash up first, and have breakfast and rest." Wang Da looked at the boy's thin figure, and his eyes also showed heartache.

He took Yijiang's hand and turned around and walked into the house.

If the high-spirited man knew that his only son could still remain calm and smile in the face of harsh and harsh words, I don't know whether he would be sad or relieved.

Ay......

The rudiments of troubled times have appeared, and the rest are bad fate.
