Although Dongbi couldn't see Yun Sheng's expression, he could guess that the little girl should be shy, otherwise she wouldn't be so obedient.

With a little smile on his face, he sighed in his heart, if he wasn't worried that the little girl was thinking about herself every day in the Shenhou Mansion, how could he let the little girl accompany her to this bitter cold place, and when she came back from the palace a few days ago, she lost a lot of weight, and she really didn't let herself worry when she wasn't there.

The head of the post station summoned people and horses to hurry to the door to greet them: "My lord, forgive me, I was too lazy." ”

Dongbi: "It's okay, let's go in first." With that, he pulled Yun Sheng into the post station first.

Although the conditions of this main road are difficult, at least there is no wind and sand outside in the post station.

The head of the post station led a group of people messy in the wind and sand, this was originally prepared a large set of rhetoric that was useless, and before the reaction came over, the adults went in first, this, what's going on?

Or a slightly clever catcher quickly pulled up the head of the post station: "My lord, if you don't go in and follow, if Lord Dongsima asks you something, you can just say it, and the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." ”

The head of the post station glanced at the little catcher, nodded and hurriedly followed, he couldn't say nothing first, let the adults mistakenly think that he was deliberately negligent.

Dongbi first brushed the dust off the chair, and then let Yun Sheng sit down, but he stood to the side.

The head of the post station saw Dongbi come out like this, and saw that the woman was wearing a hat, could it be that a noble person in the palace also came out? ! Haven't you heard of a princess of the right age?

However, he had a great eyesight, and knew that this person must be very important in the eyes of Dong Sima, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare tea and a good room, which must be well arranged and suitable for women to live in.

The tea came up quickly, Dongbi picked up the teacup first, although it was not a good porcelain, at least it was clean, and he never paid attention to these on weekdays, but now that he has Sheng'er by his side, he naturally has to care about everything.

When he got the tea in his hand, he put the teacup down again and whispered: "It's still hot, I'll drink it later." ”

Yun Sheng nodded, even if he couldn't see clearly at this time, he could imagine how frightened the people in this room must be looking at Dongbi.

Embarrassed to respond: "I'm not a child, adults should hurry up and ask about the case." ”

Dongbi sat down at this time, his face was pale, where was the gentleness that he had just faced Yunsheng.

The head of the post station was so frightened that he couldn't do it, he vaguely heard the word case just now, isn't it true that his subordinates have caused a big disaster? !

Dongbi spoke: "Which one is in charge?" ”

The head of the post station hurriedly knelt down and cried: "My lord is wronged! His subordinates have always adhered to their duties here, and they have never done anything harmful! Please be careful! ”

Dongbi frowned: "What do you see?" ”

Yun Sheng smiled lightly and said to the head of the station: "My lord, you should be scared of others, presumably the person in charge thinks that you are here to investigate the crime!" ”

Hearing this woman's unique voice, everyone subconsciously looked towards the hat, a woman with such a voice should also have the appearance of a captivating city, right?

Dongbi frowned and coughed, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, forgetting that this woman was protected by Dong Sima, how could they think about it.

Dongbi said: "There is indeed a case this time, and it is indeed related to you, but the crime is not all in you, and this official came this time to understand the specific situation." ”

The head of the post station breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he knew the facts of the case, and silently wiped his cold sweat: "My lord, ask, my subordinates must know everything and say everything." ”

Dongbi: "Do you know about the loss of the tribute in the court?" ”

The head of the post station nodded: "I know, at that time, this tribute was lost on our road, and the envoys of the Western Regions and the people of the court also attached great importance to it, and we have been sending people to investigate, but there has been no progress and results during this time." ”

Dongbi: "Then do you know who stole the tribute?" ”

The head of the post station looked at Dongbi and said hesitantly: "The subordinates have always suspected that it is the legendary 'Thief of a Thousand Faces', but there is no evidence to confirm it, and the people sent to find the 'Thief of a Thousand Faces' during this period of time have not returned." ”

Dongbi glanced around: "Is the number of people here here now the total number of you here?" ”

The head of the post station glanced back, as if confirmed, and then nodded: "Yes, although this road is a major trade route, the environment is harsh, and there are few difficult things, so there are not many people." ”

Dongbi: "Now that the loss of tribute is a big deal, why didn't you go to the Shenhou Mansion to invite someone in the first place?" You have a small number of people, how can you dare to hide it if you don't have enough? ”

The head of the post station hurriedly knelt down again and said, "It's not that the subordinates don't ask for foreign aid, but ......."

Dongbi looked at the head of the post station and said, "You all go down." ”

Everyone felt Dongbi's terrifying momentum, and they wanted to leave for a long time, but now they were ordered to salute and leave.

Only then did the head of the post station say: "My lord is aware of it, the loss of tribute is a big deal, how dare my subordinates hide it!" It was the lord sent by the imperial court to escort the tribute at that time that said that if this matter was made big, it would affect the hearts of the court, and then the people would be panicked, and no one would be able to run away if something happened. ”

"So let his subordinates send people to find the whereabouts of the tribute, and he brought the rest of the tribute into Beijing."

Yun Sheng and Dongbi glanced at each other, it seems that this tribute is really missing.

"What about the envoys of the Western Regions at that time?" Dongbi asked.

Post head: "At that time, the envoys of the Western Regions also obeyed the words of the court officials, and did not dare to speak out, only saying that they would tell the truth when they met the emperor, and would not put all the sins on us." ”

Dongbi: "How many people have you sent out during this time?" What's the news? ”

Post head: "Lord Hui, there are five people in total, because the reputation of the 'thief with a thousand faces' is outside, and we dare not look down on it, and all those who go out to look for it stipulate that if there is no news after three days, they will send the next person to look for it." ”

"The fifth one was sent out yesterday."

Dongbi: "Why is it limited to three days?" ”

Post head: "My lord doesn't know, although this main road is a trade road, but the road is dusty, flying sand and stones, if you are not careful, you will lose your way, unless you are very familiar with people to get out, if it is according to the normal speed, three days is enough to pass this road back and forth." The 'Thief of a Thousand Faces' has also been pursued before, but those who pursue it will disappear. ”

"Therefore, the subordinates are limited to three days, and if they do not return after three days, they can only send the next one."

Dongbi: "You go down first, if the people sent out haven't returned tomorrow, you don't need to send people out, the official will personally go to recover the tribute." ”

The head of the post station bowed his head: "Yes." ”

Yun Sheng walked to Dongbi's side and said with some worry: "My lord...... The loss of this tribute is not a trivial matter, how could the court officials not tell the Shenhou Mansion for fear of causing an incident? And since it was a decision made by him, why did the emperor add guilt to you later? ”

Dongbi was silent, presumably he had a plan in his heart, and raised his eyes again with soothing emotions in his eyes: "It's good that I will handle these things, you don't have to worry, go back and rest first, I'm tired after a few days of traveling, if that person doesn't come back tomorrow, I'm afraid we will have to look for the 'thief with a thousand faces', and when the time comes, it will be hard for you." ”

Yun Sheng smiled and said, "If I was afraid of hardship, how could I want to join the Shenhou Mansion in the first place?" ”

Dongbi nodded with satisfaction, but she couldn't help but feel a little distressed in her heart, the little girl should have enjoyed the best things, but she let her always be by her side to endure hardships.

Yun Sheng returned to the arranged room, made the bed and sat on the edge of the bed, today's reminder should be almost over, Dongbi should not be framed so easily this time.

In the center of the wind and sand, Ah Yu stood in the courtyard, looking at the flowers and plants blooming in the courtyard.

The alien man behind him: "Master, I found them." ”

Ah Yu's eyes were always on the flowers in front of him: "Oh? Is it finally here? Don't forget to lure them over. ”

The alien man looked at Ah Yu with fear in his eyes, how terrible this man is, this flying sand and stones, not to mention delicate flowers, even a weed is difficult to survive, but this man in front of him has cultivated such a large area of flowers and plants in this desert, as if there are two worlds outside the door.

Ah Yu's eyes were cold, and he returned his hand with a dart, and hit the man to one knee on the ground, and the man coughed a few times: "Thank you for the master's grace of not killing." ”

"If you do it again next time, you will not be spared."

Man: "Yes." After saying that, he dragged his bleeding leg away, wandering in front of the master, it was not easy to pick up a life, and the master should be in a good mood today.

Gu Bei and Leng Lie were worried in the Shenhou Mansion, although the adults told them not to worry, but they had also heard of the reputation of the "Thief with a Thousand Faces", there were always some unknown methods in the Western Regions, and it was inevitable that the adults would fall into the trap, not to mention that they still had Yun Sheng by their side.

Concern is chaos, what they are most worried about is that they could have been safe and sound, in case that person took the adult's life and rushed to Yunsheng......

Once again, the sword technique was biased, and the branch that should have been cut off fell to the ground, Gu Bei spoke: "If you are undecided, don't practice anymore, the adult is not here, you and I have to maintain our strength to protect the Shenhou Mansion." ”

Leng Lie withdrew the knife.

After the afternoon here, the head of the post station came to Dongbi and said: "My lord, that person still hasn't returned, can you go in person?" ”

Dongbi stood up: "Prepare the map, I'll go." ”

Yun Sheng appeared at the door, and Dongbi's eyes flashed slightly: "Why did you come out?" ”

"Adults are looking for someone, shouldn't I accompany them? Should I have eaten lunch and slept in the house? ”

Dongbi knew that she couldn't hide it from Yunsheng, and from the fact that she was able to discover the mandala, she knew a little bit about medical science. But in the end, he still wanted her to live safely in the post station, this time to find the "thief with a thousand faces", the danger can be imagined, even if he loses his life, it doesn't matter, but if Yunsheng makes a mistake, he can't forgive himself in this life.

What's more, it is very likely that that person has been eyeing Sheng'er for a long time, how can he risk her.

The medicine in the lunch is prepared by myself all the year round, just in case I need it, although I haven't used it for so many years, I didn't expect that the first person to let myself be drugged turned out to be Yun Sheng.

Yun Sheng's eyes were obviously angry, and he approached the eyes that looked directly at Dongbi step by step: "Don't you think you should give Sheng'er an explanation?" ”

Dongbi sighed: "You know that I only want you to be safe." ”

Yun Sheng shouted, "My lord thinks that if something happens to you, Sheng'er will be safe!" My lord, didn't we say a long time ago, no matter whether I live or die, I will always be by my side, and it is doomed from the first day I entered the Shenhou Mansion. ”

Dongbi looked at Yun Sheng's stubbornness, but still nodded: "Okay." ”

Yun Sheng burst into tears and smiled, and stepped forward to hold Dongbi's hand: "The wind and sand are strong outside, we have to hold it tighter, so that adults will no longer think about leaving me behind." ”

Dongbi had deep affection in his eyes: "How can I be willing to leave you, Sheng'er, if I can return safely this time, I will resign from the position of Sima with the saint, how about you and I swim in the mountains and rivers from now on?" ”

Yun Sheng's footsteps stopped, and looked back at Dongbi's eyes, for Dongbi, it was his fate in this life to protect the justice of the court and the people, but now he said that he would give up all this just to be with her.

"Why? Haven't you always made it your destiny to uphold justice for the people? If he resigns from the position of Sima, he will no longer be able to administer justice for others. ”

Dongbi entered the office at the age of thirteen, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, he never thought of giving up, but after Yun Sheng appeared, he suddenly realized that he had been working non-stop in this huge court for seventeen years.

How solemn the oath was back then, how ironic it is to learn the truth now, after working hard for so many years, the result is that the emperor is jealous of himself, and even has the meaning of uniting with the outside to kill himself quickly.

If it was before, it would not be a pity to die, as long as it was worthy of heaven and earth, but now it is different.

He has a woman he wants to cherish for the rest of his life, Yun Sheng was born noble, and she should have the best in the world, but now she is suffering by her side, and she can't even guarantee the most basic safety.

After the last time I picked flowers, I knew that as a fast catcher, there would be a dead hole if there was a tie, but I couldn't bear this tie.

Dongbi smiled with relief: "I have protected this court for seventeen years, and in the next few days, I want to accompany my girl." ”

"Sheng'er, you like to judge cases, we can travel the mountains and rivers, and help them get justice when they encounter injustice, if you are tired, we will find a stable place, where men and women weave."

Yun Sheng suddenly laughed and said mischievously: "But, if the adult loses his official position, do you think my father will agree to marry me to you?" ”

Dongbi: "Then I will join you, I believe that Master Taishi should still be able to see my talent." ”

Yun Sheng's heart beat rapidly, and his eyes were warm: "My lord, I'm not worth ......"

Dongbi pulled Yunsheng in his arms: "Why is it not worth it?" I think it's worth it, Sheng'er is worth everything, I'm thirteen years older than you, no matter how much I pay, I owe you, the only thing I can do is to spoil you in my lifetime and live as long as possible. ”

Yun Sheng's tears flowed down his eyes and gently tapped Dongbi's chest: "Why do adults always make me cry now." ”

Dongbi lowered his eyebrows: "It's my fault." ”

It has been two days since they entered the desert, and Yunsheng and Dongbi finally saw the alien style building.

Yun Sheng: "It seems that that should be the place we are looking for, no wonder no one has found them, this deviates a lot from the main path." And there are a lot of formations along the way, even if they find it, I'm afraid they won't be able to get here, and those who haven't returned for a long time are probably already very lucky. ”

Dongbi listened to Yun Sheng's words, his eyes just looked at the building in the distance, and frowned.

Yun Sheng looked at Dongbi and frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" What do you think is wrong? ”

Dongbi shook his head: "I always feel that it seems that it is too easy for us to get here, this is the lair of the thief, how can we get there so easily?" ”

Yun Sheng said in his heart: Can it only be said that he is worthy of being the male protagonist? The sixth sense is accuracy, I found it when I entered the first formation, these formations look powerful, but the cracking is extremely simple, as if waiting for them to come over.

But once you enter the formation, it will be even more difficult to retreat, so you can only keep going.

Dongbi continued: "In short, you must be more careful when you go in for a while, I think this must not be simple." ”

Yun Sheng nodded.

The two of them quietly approached the building, perhaps because of the extreme wind and sand, or because it was in a remote location, and there was not even a guard at the door, but the door was closed.

Yun Sheng looked at the city wall: "This height is okay, you should be able to jump in." ”

Dongbi stopped Yun Sheng: "Wait a minute! Before he could finish speaking, he saw that the door had been opened.

The two of them took a step back, only to see a number of men in alien costumes in the city rushing out towards them with knives.

Dongbi and Yunsheng glanced at each other, and it seemed that it was time to fight.

Yun Sheng drew his sword and went straight into the crowd on his toes, Dongbi followed, and the two began to fight back to back.

Fortunately, Dongbi and Yun Sheng's martial arts are good, even so many people can deal with them easily, but in the end, there are still too many people, and they will inevitably lose their physical strength after a long time, and another backrest, Yun Sheng: "My lord, what should I do now?" ”

Dongbi: "It's not suitable to fall in love with war, find a way to go back first." Saying that, the two of them were about to rush out of a bloody road.

The man's evil voice came: "Since the dignified Lord Dong Sima has come to the territory of my 'Thief with a Thousand Faces', how can there be any reason to leave so soon?" ”

With the man's voice, the doorway slowly closed.

Dongbi gritted his teeth: "I've been tricked!" ”

Yun Sheng saw a person holding a knife and slashing towards Dongbi, he couldn't think too much about it at the moment, and flew directly to block: "Be careful!" ”

The pain that should have been there didn't fall on his body for a long time, and when Yun Sheng opened his eyes, it turned out that the man had blocked it for him.

I saw that this man was dressed in black alien clothes, the silver bracers on his wrists were extremely eye-catching, and a black cloak behind him covered his face tightly, and only those evil eyes could be seen.

"If such a beauty is injured, I will feel distressed~"

Dongbi was obviously angry in his eyes on the side, and waved his knife over: "Look for death!" ”

The man will dodge: "Yo, Dong Sima is angry, isn't this like your style?" ”

Even if the man disguised his voice, Yun Sheng knew for the first time that this person was Ah Yu, but looking at his outfit, he shouldn't want to recognize him, so he simply followed him.

Dongbi's eyes were cold: "You are the thief of a thousand faces?" ”
