Chapter 179: A Sudden Noise
Nalan Jin left in the car with Dongfang Yi on the front foot, and Pei Shi told Master Qian the news that they went to the Western Regions.
Li felt that Pei's recent quiet was a little abnormal, so he sent Yan'er to secretly stare at Pei's, and sure enough, he found that she was in contact with the former master again.
This time, the two of them actually changed places, which was a restaurant under the name of Master Qian, which was a place where there were three religions and nine streams, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons.
Every time Pei Shi came here, he would be molested by some drunken people, even inferior to insults.
If he hadn't been in a hurry to get rid of Nalan Jin, Pei would have moved out of his identity and let these disgusting people go to see the officials.
"What you said is true?" Mr. Qian was a little incredulous.
"I'm full and have nothing to do, did I come here to lie to you? It was I who heard Jin'er discuss with the old man, and I also watched them leave in the car. Pei Shi was obviously a little angry, and his kindness was regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and he was suspected.
"It's no wonder that in this place in the Western Regions, the water is very deep, where doing business is profiteering, but at the same time, the water is very deep, and bandits and horse thieves from all walks of life often haunt, just staring at the money of those merchants. I also admire where they got the courage to go to the Western Regions. ”
Master Qian couldn't help but begin to sigh that Nalan Jin was not as experienced as him in terms of age or business experience, and he was not even as experienced in handling things.
But in terms of courage to do things, Master Qian lacks less than one-ten-thousandth of Nalan Jin.
This place in the Western Regions, a long time ago, Master Qian planned to develop it, but because of the infested horse thieves, it was touched several times, and both people and money were empty, so it was shelved.
Over the years, Mr. Qian has been looking for cooperative businessmen from within the Western Regions, but they have all returned in vain.
"It's better to be kidnapped by horse thieves halfway through, and never come back, so as to get rid of this thorn in the side completely." Pei Shi cursed Nalan Jin fiercely.
"You hate your niece to the core, and people who don't know still think that you have a grudge against killing your father." Master Qian said teasingly.
"It's not so serious, but as long as she is in Nalan Mansion, I can't sleep well, I feel uncomfortable when I see her, and I'm happy as long as she's not in the mansion." Pei Die gritted his teeth and said.
"Hah...... Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart. ”
Looking at Pei's appearance, Master Qian really understood the phrase "the most poisonous woman's heart", and he couldn't help but be wary of Pei's heart.
When Pei Shi was leaving, he repeatedly emphasized that Master Qian must find a way to make Nalan Jin disappear forever on the border of the Western Regions, and he would never see her set foot in Nalan Mansion in this life.
Master Qian also agreed very well, but when he turned around, he was thinking about his wishful thinking.
Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi walked all the way, and they felt that the wind and sand were blowing, and the farther west, the drier the climate became.
As soon as he entered the territory of the Western Regions, Nalan Jin's carriage could not move an inch, so he had to spend money to rent a local camel team at the post station.
"Poof, the wind and sand along the way almost didn't away." As soon as Nalan Jin entered the room, he took off the mask on his face and began to complain.
Dongfang Yi was cautious, and first checked around to make sure it was safe when he entered the house, and then asked the shopkeeper to prepare dinner, and let them send it to the room for unnecessary trouble.
"Be quiet, we're new to the city, so be careful that others will hear that we're not locals." Dongfang Yi raised his hand to remind Nalan Jin.
"We are not escaped prisoners, so why are we afraid that others will hear about it." Nalan Jin was puzzled, shook his head and teased off the dust all over his body.
"There are often horse thieves here, specializing in robbing passing merchants, we are in the light, they are in the dark, it is better to be careful." Dongfang Yi opened the window and looked at the situation outside.
"Isn't there anyone who cares about them killing people and selling goods?" Nalan Jin naively took it for granted.
"This is located in a place where the three don't care, the so-called mountain is high and the emperor is far away, or not? Of course, those horse thieves will not be so rampant, so we should be careful not to reveal our identities. ”
Nalan Jin thought for a while, there were indeed a few people who looked fierce when they stayed in the hotel just now, and they were not good people at first glance, and Dongfang Yi's worries were normal, so he nodded with a smile.
The two of them had a hasty dinner, and Nalan Jin couldn't sleep while lying on the bed, maybe it was because of the relationship between the bed, or because he was tired all the way.
Along the way, the wind and sand flew all over the sky, and Nalan Jin felt that he had been bathed in the wind and sand, and he was uncomfortable with stabbing all over his body.
"Turn it over again, and it'll be dawn." Dongfang Yi reminded.
"Dongfang, aren't you uncomfortable? I always feel that the wind and sand are still blowing on my face, and my eyes are also a little red and swollen and uncomfortable, you can see that I have been crying. Nalan Jin got up and put her face in front of Dongfang Yi.
Dongfang Yi looked at it, the eyes were worn out, and the broken skin could be faintly seen, and the eyeballs were even more bloodshot.
"Why didn't you say it earlier, it hurts or not, it's too late to find a doctor at this time, but fortunately, when I came out, grandpa asked me to bring medicine, and I will help you put it on." Dongfang Yi blew Nalan Jin's eyes distressedly.
I have to admire, Jiang is still old and spicy, Nalan Zhen foresaw the wind and sand raging in the Western Regions in advance, and asked Dongfang Yi to prepare some anti-wind and sand medicine.
Dongfang Yi gently applied it to Nalan Jin's eyes, and instantly felt cold and comfortable, without that dry burning feeling.
"How's it going?" Dongfang Yi saw Nalan Jin's eyes squinting.
"It's much better than just now, and it's comfortable." Nalan Jin raised her hand to rub her eyes, but was caught by Dongfang Yi.
"You can't touch it, just endure it if it's uncomfortable." Dongfang Yi blew lightly.
"Okay, but it's really a little itchy, and I keep crying." Nalan Jin raised his head and sniffled.
Dongfang Yi gently fanned the wind with his hand. Then Nalan Jin felt a little better, and fell asleep unconsciously. looked at her and smiled lightly and hugged her to the bed.
Even when she was asleep, she could still hear Nalan Jin complaining about the weather here, and sometimes frowning, which showed how disgusted she was with the climate here.
"Sleep quietly, you'll be fine tomorrow."
Dongfang Yi slept restlessly all night
On the one hand, he was worried about the horse thief outside suddenly breaking in, and on the other hand, he was worried about Nalan Jin, as long as she moved her body slightly, he would definitely open his eyes and look at her.
Make sure Nalan Jin is okay before sleeping peacefully.
In the past two days since Nalan Jin left, Nalan Zhen has been unable to sleep and eat every day, always paying attention to the movements of the people in the Western Regions in the city, hoping to hear some news from their mouths.
"Old man, eat as much as you want, be careful. The young lady has her aunt by her side, and she will be fine. Uncle Xing persuaded again, but Nalan Zhen was still worried.
"Horse thieves in that wild land, even if Dongfang follows him, a showman is invincible with two fists and four hands, do you think I may be relieved? I knew that I shouldn't have promised them to go out of the Western Regions in the first place. Nalan Zhen let out a long sigh and regretted not being at the beginning.
Nalan Zhen looked up at the sky and looked in the direction of the Western Regions, the red clouds in the sky were like the blood shed by horse thieves who ransacked the village.
"Miss Jiren has her own natural appearance, even if there is a horse thief, you will get through it smoothly, the old man should not worry about the sky here, it is important to take care of his body." Uncle Xing brought the hot and hot bird's nest to Nalan Zhen.
Nalan Zhen looked at the tasteless bird's nest, but he still had to eat it reluctantly, in order not to let his body collapse, and then he could freeze Nalan Jin back safely with peace of mind.
Pei Shi also secretly asked Master Qian to pay attention to the news from the Western Regions.
The Pei family, who has always disliked gadgets in the Western Regions, always feels that the things they sell are fancy and the use value is not high, and they have recently frequently visited the merchants of the Western Regions in the city.
"How do you do this thing that changes every day?" Pei Shi asked with the Western Regions Veil.
Holding the merchants of the Western Regions, seeing that Pei's clothes are quite rich, he must be rich.
"This lady has a good eye, this veil is the best and most finely made here for us, if the lady likes it, she can give it to you cheaply." The merchants of the Western Regions spoke a non-fluent Chinese.
Pei's family didn't like those bells and whistles, but the merchants in the Western Regions recommended it so enthusiastically, and in order to find out a little news, she finally reluctantly bought a veil.
"Let's do it." Pei Shi casually pointed to a veil, "I just want to know how you replenished the stock, didn't there anything happen in the Western Regions?" Pei changed the subject.
"We have a fixed number of people delivering goods every day, and we don't hear from them that something big is happening, and the border has been safe." The merchant of the Western Regions frowned in confusion.
"Oh......"
Pei Shi was a little disappointed, and the merchants of the Western Regions wanted to recommend other goods to him, but Pei Shi left with the useless veil in despair.
The merchants of the Western Regions had no choice but to shrug their shoulders regretfully.
Yan'er reported Pei's situation to the Li family one by one.
"No, what is she doing to inquire about the Western Regions, is it possible...... Jin'er went to the Western Regions this time, what did she do again? Li frowned and analyzed.
"The slave maid is not very clear, it has been several days, and Mrs. Pei goes out every day to inquire," Yan'er shook her head.
"That's interesting, Pei's is really dead." Li suddenly gloated and hooked the corners of his mouth.
Li Shi thought, it is estimated that Pei Shi is doing ghosts behind his back, Nalan Zhen definitely does not know, if he tells Nalan Zhen about this, it will be enough for Pei Shi to drink a pot.
Western Regions Mo
Nalan Jin was still asleep when she was awakened by an eager knock on the door. Panicked, he quickly sat up, thinking that it was the horse thief that Dongfang Yi said had broken in.
"Oriental, Oriental." Nalan Jin shouted loudly.
"I'm here, don't be afraid." Dongfang Yi protected Nalan Jin, frowning, and was scared in his heart.
After a while, I heard that the downstairs was super busy, that is, half an hour later, and there was no sound.
Dongfang Yi calmed Nalan Jin, walked to the door and listened for a long time to make sure there was no sound. When I opened the door, I saw the shopkeeper informing from door to door.
"Don't worry, it's just an ordinary drinking and making trouble, don't panic." The shopkeeper nodded.
"Help us get the wash water in." Dongfang Yi pretended to be a calm command.
