The mandarin duck and Chu Huai followed Shu Shan side by side, and the sound of the bell made a crisp jingle with every step he took.

"What's in his hand?" The mandarin duck approached Chu Huai, pointed to the staff in Shu Shan's hand, and asked in a low voice.

"It is a staff unique to them in the Western Regions, and it is also a symbol of power, the petals are pointed on the top, and the bell is hung below, the fewer the petals on the staff, the greater the power that this person has in the Western Regions." Chu Huai said as he pulled the mandarin duck back, his eyes paying attention to Shu Shan, for fear that he would hear the conversation between the two.

The mandarin duck exclaimed: "There is still such a statement." ”

"Be quiet! Don't be heard! Chu Huai hurriedly covered the mandarin duck's mouth, but fortunately, Shu Shan didn't seem to notice the conversation behind him, "I'm also hearsay, their people never tell outsiders about these things. Whether it is true or not, only their people know. ”

The mandarin duck nodded hurriedly, and Chu Huai let go of his hand and quickly kept up with Shu Shan's pace.

Just didn't take a few steps, Shu Shan stopped, turned to look at the two, at first, the mandarin duck's heart tightened, and thought that he had heard the matter of discussing the staff with Chu Huai, and he wanted to blame himself at the moment, but when she saw the carriage parked beside him, the heart that the mandarin duck was hanging finally fell, and he seemed to be just walking over with Chu Huai.

"Two, get in the car quickly."

A somewhat indistinguishable voice sounded in the ears of the mandarin duck, she was startled, who was talking?

She looked around, and there was no one else around here except the three of them. This obviously won't be his own voice, and it can't be Chu Huai's voice, Chu Huai's voice is even deeper and more magnetic, so the only possibility is this Shu Shan, who has been smiling at the two of them.

So he can talk...... This was the first thought that came to the mandarin duck's mind, and now it was even more difficult to tell whether this person was a man or a woman.

"Mandarin duck, why are you still stunned?" Chu Huai lifted the curtain and shouted at the mandarin duck who was still standing in place and staring at Shu Shan.

was shouted by him, and the mandarin duck finally came back to his senses: "Ah, Master, here." ”

Shu Shan on the side still looked at the two with a smile, and it wasn't until the mandarin duck also entered the carriage that he withdrew his smile, jumped down on the carriage, put the staff in his hand behind him, drove the carriage, and drove to the west.

Inside the carriage, Chu Huai looked at the mandarin duck who didn't know what he was thinking, and asked curiously, "What did you just watch people do?" ”

"Huh? I? After a long time, the mandarin duck noticed that Chu Huai seemed to be talking to himself, "I'm thinking about a question." ”

"What's the problem?"

"I'm thinking about ......" Mandarin Duck's voice suddenly became smaller, she beckoned to Chu Huai, motioning for him to bring his ears closer, "I'm wondering, whether he is a man or a woman, this question has been bothering me since I was in Huaihua Valley." ”

"Poof." Chu Huai really didn't expect Mandarin Duck to ask such a question, and he couldn't hold back and laughed directly.

"Master, what are you laughing at!" Mandarin duck's ears were a little hot when Chu Huai laughed, and she also knew that she had asked a very stupid question, but she really wanted to know the accurate answer.

"What about you? Do you think he's male or female? Chu Huai instantly suppressed his laughter, pretended to have a serious face, and asked rhetorically.

"I just asked you because I didn't know." Mandarin Duck shook his head, "He has always given me a very strange feeling, both like a man and like a woman. ”

Chu Huai's expression finally couldn't hold back, and he laughed loudly, so that Shu Shan, who was driving outside, couldn't help but interject after hearing his laughter: "Master Chu, what are you laughing at, why don't you share it together?" ”

Chu Huai laughed so hard that his stomach cramped, he wiped the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's nothing, the mandarin duck is worrying about whether you are a man or a woman." ”

"Master!" The mandarin duck exclaimed, "Why did you say it!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Huai waved his hand indifferently, "I have asked Master Shu this question many years ago. ”

"Yes, Mandarin Duck girl, Xiaosheng is a real man." There was a smile in Shu Shan's voice, but for some reason, the mandarin duck always felt that he was laughing very madly, and it seemed that he would wipe his neck with a smile in the next moment.

Soon there was no more conversation in the carriage, and the two looked out the window at the scenery speeding behind.

"Lord Chu Gu, Mandarin Duck Girl, soon we will pass by a small town in the South China Sea, let's take a rest there today." I don't know how long it took, Shu Shan's voice came from outside the carriage again, and the mandarin duck, who was still in a daze, instantly trembled along with his hair.

"Master Forgiveness, it's good if you decide."

"Because Xiaosheng will take a break in this town every year when he comes to Huaihua Valley, so for convenience, I bought a house here, and the two of them can live a little more comfortably without having to go to the inn."

"That's very good." Chu Huai held his chin, looked at the official road where the carriage passed, and said to Shu Shan, "But I seem to have heard that there is a lot of chaos around the South China Sea recently, and it seems that it has attracted the attention of the emperor." ”

Emperor! The mandarin duck suddenly heard these two words, and hurriedly pointed his ears and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.

"So what? We are just resting for one night, so how can we get involved in the war in the South China Sea? ”

"I'm afraid that if Master Shu doesn't provoke that group of South China Sea bandits, they will come to provoke you first."

"It's just a bandit, why should the Lord of Chu Gu take it to heart."

"Chu is just talking casually, the master doesn't have to take it to heart."

……

Mandarin Duck hadn't heard Chu Huai talk about Xia Yuan for a long time, it seemed that she just mentioned it in passing, and then there was nothing else in an instant, and her original excitement was instantly extinguished to loss.

It was probably because of the drive into the town that the carriage moved much slower.

"Lord Chu Gu, look out the window, it's still bright at this time, but this town is so quiet."

"It looks like the South China Sea is really in chaos."

Although the sun has set, but the sky outside the window is still very bright, the Nanhai town, which should be lively and extraordinary, is as quiet as an empty city at the moment, there is no pedestrian rush, there is no sound of various forms of selling, the doors and windows of every house are closed, only a few small courtyards passing by, there is a fuselage dog barking, and there are only occasional Royal Forest Soldiers on the whole street, so that a few people do not feel that this town has become a ghost town.

At the moment when the carriage turned into a small alley, the mandarin duck caught a glimpse of a bright yellow figure flashing in the corner of the wall, it was a figure that she was so familiar with, no matter what he became, she could recognize him at the first time, the figure that would appear in the dream every night, the man who haunted her dreams, the mandarin duck suddenly reddened her eyes.

Obuchi ......
