Li Tiantu thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of a way to crack it, unless he was willing to pass through the capital and not enter, and then secretly escorted Ji Donglai's father and daughter back to the sandbank. Li Tiantu shook his head, this is unrealistic, what reason does he have to put aside military affairs and travel thousands of miles to help this father and daughter, unless Ji Yuerong is willing to be his wife? Li Tiantu was very disdainful of the ridiculous thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind for a while, and the most important thing at present was to enter the capital as soon as possible to face the saint and negotiate the Xizhou City Discussion and follow-up matters. After all, the palace master of Daluo Palace, who had died with the right envoy, was now in a rage, and if he delayed for a minute longer, there would be one more variable.

Fu Bo, who was cooking, stretched out his thick palm and shook it in front of Li Tiantu's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Boy, don't look at it, the fire in the stove is going to be extinguished!" ”

Li Tiantu came back to his senses, and filled the stove with few sparks with a handful of dry firewood, and there was a kind of emptiness on his face that Fu Bo had seen through his thoughts.

Fu Bo looked at the understanding of the people who came over, and said with a smile: "My young lady is good-looking, and it is difficult to find such a posture on the entire sandbar." You young people, it's normal to have some thoughts. ”

Li Tiantu didn't want to explain, but just smiled back.

Fu Bo seemed to be aroused by the desire to speak, and sighed: "Although the Longmen Dart Game is in decline now, Miss Yuerong can be regarded as a lady of everyone, and it is not something that ordinary people can pray for." Just look at it, just look at it. ”

Li Tiantu, who was full of smiles, saw Fu Bo's expression surging, and seemed to be talking about it, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Fu Bo, the rice is about to overflow!" ”

The old man was in a hurry, and when he was done, he lost the interest in talking.

There are only two days from Ganzhou to Dunhuang, and there is nothing abnormal on this road except for the slightly larger wind and sand. It's just that the closer he gets to Dunhuang, the tighter Ji Donglai's expression becomes, as if there is some terrible big man in Dunhuang.

Located at the junction of the west and Liangzhou, Dunhuang tightly guards the north-south passage of the Heavenly Empire, the three religions and nine streams of characters gather, and the binding force of the temple in this place is extremely weak, which is regarded as the paradise of thieves and rats, Jiangyang thieves, and outlaws. Today's Dunhuang is entrenched in two profound rivers and lakes, namely the Yin family, who is in business, and the green forest tycoon Emperor Fuyong, who started with a robbery. These two forces checked and balanced each other in Dunhuang, and their forces were equal, but they also lived in peace for nearly 20 years.

Ji Donglai is not worried about the Yin family, but he is worried about Huang Fuyong.

The outline of Dunhuang was clearly visible, and Ji Yuerong rode up parallel to Ji Donglai, and said in a low voice: "Dad, Dunhuang is coming!" ”

Ji Donglai, who knew where his daughter's worries were, smiled bitterly: "If there is another choice, Daddy, I would rather take a detour." It is a pity that both sides of this road are sandy and gravel desert land, which is not allowed to pass by cars and horses, but the only smooth road under the feet is from the center of Dunhuang City. ”

Huang Fu Yong's ruthlessness on the western border is well known, and Ji Yuerong, who has also heard a little about it, reluctantly squeezed out a smile in front of his father, and said softly: "Dad, Dunhuang is not the only one in his Huang Fu Yong's family, I heard that Yin Yuexing, the head of the Yin family, is a righteous hero, and the prestige in our western region is second only to the lord of Shangguan Fort in Flying Eagle Castle, we can seek protection from the Yin family." ”

Ji Donglai shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Yuerong, you are still too naïve. The Yin family's doctrine is not false, and I believe that the Yin family will not covet it even if they know that our darts are valuable. But the key is that our Longmen Dart Bureau has no dealings with the Yin family, how can Yin Yuexing risk being fought by Huangfu Yong for the sake of us, an irrelevant person, to help us. In this matter of rivers and lakes, no matter how loyal and righteous people are, it is just a good word, and the only difference is that loyal and righteous people are self-disciplined and choose themselves. And we can't come up with anything that makes the Yin family happy, so if I were the head of the Yin family, I wouldn't do it for that illusory chivalrous name. ”

The worry in Ji Yuerong's eyes deepened a little, and she frowned: "The news of our dart has been scattered by the hateful Iron Sand Gang for most of the Western Regions, and the Emperor Fuyong of Dunhuang has no reason not to know, and the Yin family can't count on it." Dad, let's not go into the city yet, and discuss countermeasures outside the city. ”

Ji Donglai shook his head again and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's more dangerous outside the city." We still have to enter the city as soon as possible, and the Yin family also has to pay a visit, although it is useless, but it can also make Huangfu Yong have some scruples. ”

The last carriage of the dart team, driven by the person who was the former cooker.

Li Tiantu came to ride in the same car with Fu Bo all the way, and chatted a few words when he had nothing to do, which was not boring along the way. Looking at the slightly humble Dunhuang City in front of him, Li Tiantu thought of Kunlun Nu Agui, who had lived for thousands of years, presumably Guo Huang's Yin family had already understood the family mission. That's fine, the later he is exposed, the better, this time let the Yin family help the sad Ji family father and daughter to settle the trouble of the green forest lord Emperor Fu Yong, it is more appropriate for him to hide in the darkest place.

The gates of Dunhuang have been baptized by many wars and have become dilapidated. Since the Celestial Empire pacified the Western Regions, after the establishment of the Anxi Protectorate in Qiuzi, Dunhuang, which guarded the east-west passage, has lost its original strategic value, so since five years ago, the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty ordered the removal of the last battalion of Dunhuang's thousand-man cavalry, Dunhuang has become an undefended city, and its public security is really the worst in the Celestial Empire.

There was no curfew in Dunhuang, and the dart team entered the city smoothly.

In fact, as early as when the traces of the dart team appeared in the view of the corner tower of the city gate, the uncrowned king Yin family and the Huangfu Mansion who were in charge of Dunhuang received the eyeliner news arranged on the door of the building.

Yin's Mansion is located in the southeast of the city, occupying a large area of land in the southeast corner, although the mansion does not have the graceful and luxurious demeanor of the major families in the south of the Yangtze River, it does not lose the simplicity and extraordinary atmosphere. This ancient family, which almost coexisted with Dunhuang City, was made of black gray granite that was as hard as iron from unknown origin, and even the oldest centenarian in the city, Lao Cangtou, could not tell how many dynasties this family had stood in this place full of yellow sand. Some people with a heart just vaguely heard the old man mention, the Dunhuang general of the previous dynasty fell in love with the iron and stone texture of the black gray granite of the Yin family, and wanted to strengthen the city with this, after several visits and closed doors, he did not hesitate to use more than 1,000 iron horsemen to surround the Yin family, who would have thought that more than 1,000 people in the army of the armor warriors attacked for three days in a row and did not enter half a step. The Dunhuang general, who was familiar with the allusions of the rivers and lakes, suddenly met a master outside the world, and he didn't care about face at the moment, so he knocked on the door in a panic, and bowed three times to the head of the Yin family who was standing in the atrium, and then quietly withdrew his troops. The hard-blooded Dunhuang general, who was born since childhood, was really unwilling, and did not hesitate to send people to search for the sand, rock, mountains and rivers within a radius of 2,000 miles, and it took three months to find such a special mountain and rock, and finally had to give up.
