The water of the Subash River is clear and shallow, and although there are no lush pastures on both sides of the riverbank, the sparse green of the stars is better than the lifeless desert.

The red shadow leaned on the mound polished by the wind and sand on the riverside, and followed the fur of the sand fox with one hand, while watching the group of Central Plains men wash and frolic in the river. Suddenly, I felt that I was staring at a pair of hot eyes on my face, and when I turned my head to look, it was the scoundrel.

I don't know where he hid alone just now, but at this time, he seems to have been properly groomed, changed into a clean white shirt, his hair is hanging low, and the tips of his hair are faintly dripping. He stood a few feet away like this, the slanting sun shone on his long body, inlaid with a layer of golden light around his body, like the jade Buddha statue standing in the Zhao Li Buddhist Temple, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and the glow dyed into his eyes, warm and bright.

The red shadow was stunned for a moment, how could she not connect the person in front of her with the disciple who dragged her to ride, could it be that this is the legendary blue face trouble?

I saw that the calamity was also staring at her, as if sensing her palpitations, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, but she was upright, approaching step by step. Stopped half a foot away from her, and suddenly picked up a branch and drew it in the sand. He actually knew how to turtle Ziwen! In the midst of the water, he asked her where her family lived, why she was traveling alone, and where she wanted to go.

Red Shadow looked surprised, and when he looked up, he looked innocent for no reason, and shook his head helplessly, indicating that he couldn't understand Gu Ziwen. But he didn't want to, this person was stunned, and he wrote down Yue's script, Turkic script, Xizhou script, Tingzhou script, and Dawan script in succession...... Red Shadow still shook her head.

Seeing this, Li Yuanqi couldn't help but wonder in her heart, could it be that she was an uneducated savage at all? Yes, a deaf and dumb barbarian woman is afraid that she will not be bothered to be raised, if not, why wander alone in this desert? Thinking of this, although Li Yuanqi felt quite regretful, he also put away his hand and did not study it in detail, but also leaned on the stone stack with the red shadow, looking at the sunset and the beginning of the moon.

He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had the leisure to watch the sun set and the moon rise. This desert scenery is very different from the Central Plains, and it is difficult for ordinary Central Plains people to see it once even if they live to the end. But this time he traveled west, how could he be in the mood to watch quietly like this? It's strange to say, although I've only known this unknown woman for a day, but I feel calm next to her.

Maybe it was because she was deaf and dumb, he thought, but there seemed to be something else besides that. He always felt that her stupid and innocent-looking eyes seemed to hide a lot of emotions that he couldn't see through. But even so, being by her side made him feel at ease, as if he was by his mother's side when he was a child. But it didn't seem to be the case for the red shadow, Xu was a lot of people around her, and she was quite uncomfortable, turning her porcelain-white face to him, gesturing a few times, and asking when she was on her way.

Glancing at the distant Qiuzi City, Li Yuanqi felt a trace of joy in his heart, he wanted to talk to her in detail, but she remembered that she couldn't hear it, so she could only shake her head helplessly, stretched out her hand and snapped her fingers, and called Nanhua to beckon the people to get ready to go on the road. Then he walked towards his camel, and turned his head to see the red shadow staggering, drawing circles on the sand with his toes, lest he ponder to part ways with them while he was unprepared.

Li Yuanqi suddenly felt funny, she was a half-grown girl in the end, and her gestures were full of childishness. Three and two steps, he walked over and tugged her boneless wrist through the sleeve of his coat, dragged her to him, and dragged her towards the camel. Red Shadow struggled a few times, and somehow seemed to understand that he couldn't escape, and obediently followed.

When she arrived at the camel, Li Yuanqi was about to hold her hand to help her, but when she saw her stepping on the stirrup, she suddenly turned over and floated up, and her crimson clothes bloomed like flowers and swept over Li Yuanqi's head. Looking up, the red veil was raised in the air, disturbed by the glow of the sky in one place, extremely enchanting. As if he were deliberately making a mistake, the red shadow lifted the reins and rode forward on his camel.

Li Yuanqi didn't expect her to be so sophisticated, and when she reacted, one person and one camel had already walked three or four feet away. couldn't help sneering, used some internal force, flew over, and sat firmly behind her at one point. The red shadow seemed to know that he could not escape, but he was probably not happy in his heart, and before he could sit down, he desperately clamped the camel's belly and let the animal run upside down.

Nanhua looked at this scene and complained bitterly in his heart, but he could only urge the brothers to set off quickly. So the group held on to the last bit of strength and came to the city of Qiuzi in one go.

Qiuzi is not like the heavenly capital, in the end, it is the western border where the people are scattered, the sky has been dark, the city gate is still wide open, and there are still many business travelers who come and go.

Originally, the envoys should first sort out Xiutun outside the city, hand over the letter of state to the host, and then the two sides discussed the days and hours, and the host's family ordered a commensurate Qincha to set up a battle outside the city gate to meet each other from afar, so as to complete the face of the diplomatic relations between the two countries. And after this section of escaping death, Li Yuanqi was afraid of recurring branches, and he couldn't take care of much, so he ordered to mix among the civilians and go to the city first.

So, when they arrived at the city gate, the group got off their camels one after another, and took care of the people crowded in front and back. Shun Shun was the checkpoint, and the carriages and horses converged, but Li Yuanqi suddenly found that the red shadow didn't know where it went. Looking around, the man seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace. Everyone was suspicious for a while, and they wanted to turn around and go back to look for it, but Li Yuanqi was afraid of attracting the attention of the guards guarding the city, so he delayed the big event. Without thinking too much, he ordered to go to the post station first, and the rest will be discussed tomorrow.

Nanhua waited for him to freshen up and retreated, Li Yuanqi lay on his side on the bed covered with soft cotton mattresses, and after days of hard work, he was finally exhausted, sleepiness hit, closed his eyes and fell asleep. But the dream was not stable, and suddenly saw the mother wiping tears on him, saying that he had died wronged, and suddenly saw the eldest uncle and second uncle lifting his head, smiling at him, and suddenly looking at the queen's red kedan nails hand gestured towards him, and he woke up in a cold sweat.

But I saw that I was still in the interior of the inn, the window was blown open by the wind, and the moonlight sprinkled straight in, and the shadow of the begonia flower on the window case was cast on the ground.
