The Guli River is a strange river.

Why is it strange? Almost all the rivers on the continent flow eastward and eventually flow into the sea.

And the Guli River is flowing westward, all the way to the west, and no one knows where the final terminal is?

Once there was a Sacred Realm powerhouse who tried to find out where the last terminal of the Guli River was, and whether it would also flow into the sea?

After the powerhouse of the Sacred Domain returned, he never mentioned the matter of Guli River. When someone asked, they just shook their heads and said nothing, and their eyes showed fear. Soon, this Sacred Domain powerhouse, who was supposed to live a long life, suddenly died in one night. It wasn't until after his death that his family packed up his belongings and found a notebook about the region, in which only one paragraph was written about the Guli River.

The note reads: 'When the Guli River passed through the vast steppe. It made an abrupt turn and continued westward around the southwestern plateau. Along the way, a number of smaller rivers converged, and the water gradually widened. But when the river flows to the western desert, it is like the world evaporating, and suddenly disappears on the edge of the desert.

The river disappeared out of thin air, and no one knew where the gushing river was going. When I returned, I was seriously injured, and I knew that my life would not last long! I would like to remind future generations here, don't look for this place under the Holy Domain! Even the Holy Land will not be able to protect itself!'

So someone gave it a name, Dead Domain.

The number of horse thieves increased and grew, and gradually there were seventy or eighty horsemen. Although the number of people is not as large as the caravan guards, it should be that there will still be horse thieves coming to rendezvous.

Some of the later horse thieves were bold enough to run near the caravan and shout and intimidate the people in the caravan. Some of the stewards in the caravan were already pale with fright, and they were uneasy.

The King of the Golden Blades knew that it would be difficult for the horse thieves to come this time. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he ordered his guards to shoot with crossbow arrows, and only then did he force back these bold horse thieves.

It's just that when I saw the horse thieves gathering more and more, I was also faintly uneasy.

Luo Sanye has long run out of ideas, and everything depends on the Golden Sword King, Qian Yigun and Li Mazi. He hid in a carriage with a guard plate and refused to come out again.

Before it was dark, the Golden Sword King and his men ordered the caravan to set up camp. On a high gentle slope, the trucks were coiled into a circle from end to end. It's just that next to the direction of Chu Chongshan's horse team, there is an opening for people to enter and exit. And he untied the horses and mules from the carts, and tied them to the middle of the ring.

The King of the Golden Knife temporarily made a rudimentary walled city out of wagons. He then ordered all the equipment that could carry water to be filled with water to prevent the horse thieves from attacking with rockets.

After arranging these, the three of the Golden Sword King discussed with Luo Sanye again, and decided that it would be better to form a mutual aid alliance with Chu Chongshan's team. They can also rely on each other.

Luo Sanye sent a subordinate steward to invite Chen Shaoan and Chu Chongshan to come to the caravan tent to discuss.

Chen Shao'an and Chu Chongshan also camped next to the Luo caravan, and the two of them were observing the horse thieves. Seeing that someone from Luo's firm came to ask to see them, the two of them listened to their intentions. instructed his subordinates to be more vigilant, and walked towards the Luo caravan with the people who came.

When Shi Jiu saw the two of them going to the caravan to discuss matters, he stood on a high point and looked around to be on guard. The horse thieves in the distance also dismounted to rest, shouting loudly, and preparing for the evening's dinner.

It was completely dark, and Chen Shaoan and Chu Chongshan had not yet returned.

Shi Jiu asked everyone to light more torches and fires, and try to illuminate the surroundings as brightly as possible.

The horse thieves didn't seem to want to sneak attack, and they also made a lot of fire in the torch. The whole camp was brightly lit, as if they were afraid that the caravan would attack them.

Shi Jiu asked Gao Liu and Mo Er to sneak closer and carefully observe the horse thief's movements. He also hides in a darker place, keeping an eye on the horse thief's camp.

Slowing down and leaning against the grass, Shi Jiu tried to make himself as comfortable as possible.

There was a sound of soft footsteps behind him, and Shi Jiu knew that someone was coming. He didn't care, it should be his own people patrolling.

The footsteps stopped behind him, and the man didn't go, but stood there.

Shi Jiu turned his head, "Oh...... It's you...... Miss Helian Er?"

Shi Jiu's expression was a little messy in an instant...... That's right, it was Miss Helian II standing behind him.

Miss Helian Er was looking at him with big bright eyes, her long eyelashes blinking, and the corners of her mouth were still with that light smile on the corner of her mouth.

Shi Jiu hurriedly sat up straight.

It's better to think about it or stand up, just ready to stand up.

Unexpectedly, Miss Helian took a step forward and sat on the soft grass opposite with her hands and knees.

The two sat facing each other, not very close, but definitely not far off.

Miss Helian looked at him with a smile, and Shi Jiu was a little flustered by her. He didn't know what Miss Helian was doing so late? Could it be that he wanted to ...... again?

Shi Jiu asked hesitantly, "That...... Second Miss, this, why did you come out again so late?...... Be...... No...... Want that ......?"

Miss Helian II was amused to see him stammering. But after listening to the meaning of his words, it was messy in an instant.

Miss Helian Er's cheeks were like fire, and her little face was crimson with shame.

This!

couldn't help but say, "You...... People originally wanted to ...... I talked to you, but you ...... Wild thoughts...... ＂

"Ah...... Ah, I'm sorry...... Did I think wrong...... I thought it was ...... "It's okay not to explain, but the more you explain, the more chaotic it becomes.

At this moment, both of them were suddenly embarrassed, and neither of them was embarrassed to speak anymore.

Wordless silence, it is said that silence is golden!

But for the two of them now, it's torment.

Shi Jiu's eyes wandered, pretending to look around, but in fact he was aimless. Just to keep your eyes in one place as much as possible, and don't touch the crimson little face of Miss Helian Er.

Miss Helian lowered her head and looked at the grass sprouts that had just grown on the grass. The snow-white neck outlines a graceful arc. Those big eyes were just staring at a grass bud on the ground, as if the grass bud had bloomed into the most beautiful flower in the world.

At this moment, it was as if time had frozen, and it was just a brief silence.

The two of them felt as if a long, long time had passed.

"You"

"You"

Almost at the same time, both wanted to break the silence and call in unison.

When their eyes met, their faces were red. Miss Helian Er's appearance is already a second-class beauty in the world.

Under Shi Jiu's clear eyes, the face of the frost and snow was lightly coated with rouge, and a trace of intoxicating crimson appeared.

It is said that girls when they are shy are the most delicate girls.

The already beautiful Allure seems to be shining as if even the night is reflected by her.

Shi Jiu was a little stunned......

Miss Helian lowered her head again in shame, and her heart pounded like a deer.

Shi Jiu hurriedly looked away, "Second Miss, you, you can speak first." ＂

Although Miss Helian Er has been smart and clever since childhood, it is the first time in her life that she sits opposite a young man at night like this.

"I'm all for my sister's business, and I don't want to have a private meeting with him! You must ask my sister for a big favor? Hmph...... This guy looked at people in a daze, really, it really made people feel a little flustered...... ＂

Sort out your emotions. When he looked up, he smiled, and this smile was even more dazzling.

His eyes wandered, and he said softly: "Brother Shi Jiu, I'm really sorry last night." I really didn't mean to break the corners of your mouth at the time, really, I'm really embarrassed, but now, it's better...... ＂

Oh, what is not good? Why did you mention that thing again? Thinking of last night, shame welled up again.

Shi Jiu touched the corners of his mouth that were still red and swollen, and could only smile bitterly, "Second Miss doesn't have to take it to heart, it's okay, it's already much better...... When I thought of last night's abruptness, I couldn't help but feel ashamed again.

Miss Helian II saw that his face was slightly red, and she was slightly embarrassed, knowing that he remembered the events of last night. Thinking of that incident, I couldn't help but feel even more shy.

"Brother Shi Jiu, you don't have to be so polite with your little sister. If you don't dislike your little sister, Brother Shi Jiu won't be called Miss or Miss?"

When Shi Jiu saw Miss Helian Er talking to him like this, an alarm suddenly appeared in his heart, remembering the scene when she fooled Chen Shao'an that night. I can't help but remind myself to be vigilant, this little girl is full of thoughts, and she can't be like the third uncle who is obsessed with her.

"That is to say, the hairpin is crossed below. I'll call Miss Little Sister. ＂

"Brother Shi Jiu, you and Brother Chen have known each other for many years, right? According to the little sister, Brother Chen is more than a teenager older than you, but why do you call him the third uncle?"

Sure enough, it seems that she is going to ask about the third uncle. Shi Jiu said darkly. Thinking of the scene that happened at noon, didn't her sister ask her to ask? I just took the opportunity to set up some of her words, it would be better to know how her sister knew Uncle Lu?

When he first came to Beizhen, he told Miss Helian Er how he met Chen Shao'an.

Miss Helian Er is the best listener, at least Chen Shao'an thinks.

Miss Helian Er listened to him quietly, and did not interject much in the middle of the conversation, and really seemed to be the best listener.

waited until Shi Jiu finished speaking, and pondered for a long time. Only then did he ask, "Brother Shi Jiu, how did you come here before you met Brother Chen?"

"Huh...... Wandering, begging...... ＂

Shi Jiu had to lie. There are many things that even Chen Shaoan doesn't know.

For example, his martial arts and sword skills, and his identity, Chen Shao'an never asked him, and he never took the initiative to tell Chen Shao'an.

Now in the face of a girl who has only known each other for a few days, he will not say anything.

Chen Shaoan is a smart person, so he never asks Shi Jiu's origins. He knew that Shi Jiu was good to him, and it was enough to be really good. Although until now, he didn't understand, why did Shi Jiu trust and respect him so much? Even if he was really good to me, if he didn't say it, why should I ask? Chen Shao'an had always thought like this.

"Brother Shi Jiu had a very pitiful life when he was a child, so hard. ＂

Miss Helian said sympathetically.

Shi Jiu could hear that Miss Helian Er was sincere in saying this.

Chen Shaoan is a smart person, and Miss Helian Er is even more smart and clever person.

She wouldn't rashly ask Shi Jiu's origin and martial arts inheritance?

Everyone has their own secrets, so why bother touching other people's secrets if there is nothing to do?

has been talking about things since I was a child until now, and under the traction of Miss Helian Er's words, the topic finally gradually turned to Chen Shao'an.

Shi Jiu knows everything, and he must answer any questions. Gradually, a new understanding of Chen Shao'an took shape in Miss Helian Er's heart.

What kind of image is that? Martial arts are also reasonable, and they are handsome, if you don't pretend to be chic. Some are quick and smart, but they are usually bohemian and prodigal. Treat brothers and friends with sincerity and sincerity!

It looks like a big grin, but it's actually cautious. Love to drink and gamble, love to brag and brag! When I see a beautiful woman, I will show a pig brother statue, but I just like a dusty woman.

On weekdays, he always likes to pretend to be a chic scholar, but he doesn't know much and has no ink on his chest. Although he pretends to be a scholar, he is weak, and he is pretentious in his life, but when he encounters real danger, he will not even frown!

This night, in Luo Sanye's tent, Chen Shaoan kept sneezing.

Who is saying bad things about me? Or is it reading Lao Tzu? Chen Shaoxin guessed.

After listening to Shi Jiu say so many things about Chen Shao'an, Miss Helian Er asked, "At noon, I heard Brother Chen recite a small poem, and I saw that Brother Chen was dressed as a scholar all day long. I guess that word must have been made by Brother Chen himself, right?"

Finally to the point!

"It's just a poem, but I saw that your sister's reaction was a little strange when she heard the third uncle read this poem. I haven't seen your sister get out of the car since I set off? But the third uncle had just read a few words, and your sister came over! Could it be that Sister Ling knew the person who wrote the order?"

"Do you know me, but don't you know?"

Miss Helian Er paused for a moment, and then continued: "But that poem, when I was six or seven years old, I saw my sister write it in the study. At that time, I saw my sister embroider it on a brocade handkerchief, but then I didn't see my sister's handkerchief. Brother Shi Jiu, you haven't told me if the word was written by Brother Chen?"

That poem was not written by the third uncle himself, he also saw it by chance, so he memorized it. ＂

"So where did he see it? Didn't Brother Chen know the person who wrote the lyrics? I heard my sister say that there is still a second half of this word, but I have never heard it. ＂

"Well, he's probably never seen someone who wrote words. But why are you so interested in the person who writes the lyrics?"

"Oh, I've heard my sister say that. There are not many people in the world who know this poem. Brother Chen hadn't seen that person, so where did he see it?"

"I remember when I was young, I often saw my sister looking at that Fang Jinpa in a daze, and sometimes she would secretly cry. When I saw that my sister was sad, I thought that the veil must be something that made my sister unhappy. On one occasion I stole the brocade out and tried to burn it on fire. As a result, before I could light the fire, my sister found out and snatched it back. That was the first time I saw my sister get angry, and she reprimanded me severely, and I haven't seen the Jinpa since then.

So I remember this poem very well. I guess the lyricist must be someone my sister knew, and should be a very important person to my sister! I just want to ask my sister who that person is, and where is that person now?"

Miss Helian Er's innocent expression when she speaks, and her vivid voice when describing things, is extremely attractive. The two of them gradually ceased to be as restrained as before.

Shi Jiu saw that when Miss Helian Er talked about stealing Jinpa, he also stuck out his tongue and smiled, that little daughter was extremely cute. couldn't help but smile, but when I heard Miss Helian Er's sad voice and talk about her sister's sorrow, I was also saddened.

Do you tell her? or don't say it?

At this moment, he had almost concluded that Miss Helian must know the third uncle! And there seemed to be a deep emotional entanglement between the two.

Because at his last moment, he kept repeating the sentence "Red sleeves and brocade clothes, how can you forget each other after thousands of miles?...... The thrush just waits, and Jun makeup...... ＂

Silence, silent silence......

Miss Helian II saw that he was silent in thought, and she also silently did not speak.

"Is this what your sister is asking?"

"No, my sister won't let me ask! I just want to share some of my sorrow for my sister."

"Can I ask Miss Helian about her name?"

This question was a little abrupt, and Miss Helian was stunned. immediately understood that Shi Jiu should have something to say, and he was faintly looking forward to it.

"Sister, Helian Red Sleeves!"
