Luo Xiaoyu smiled silently and lowered his head. He didn't know the agreement between Gu Wanyi and Xiao Qi, but he also knew that this requirement was a bit difficult.

Xiao Qi looked at Luo Xiaoyu's face with a slight smile but couldn't hide his lonely look, and he couldn't bear it. But he has learned not to make promises lightly. He simply didn't look at Luo Xiaoyu's expression, but turned his head to look at Mu Changsheng: "What is Brother Mu's plan?"

Mu Changsheng's surprise was written on his face, his eyes widened and Xiao Qi looked at each other for a moment, and finally understood something, he didn't say anything to ask or stay, but just arched his hand and said: "I was sent by His Majesty, so naturally I want to run for the Wing Clan, no matter whether Miss Gu is the only one in the Wing Clan, this promise will be fulfilled." ”

Xiao Qi nodded silently. He thought about it again and again, and finally decided not to tell Mu Changsheng about Ye Dushan.

"What are Brother Xiao's plans?" asked Mu Changsheng.

"This is the case, I always need to meet up with my father. Xiao Qi looked at Xiaoxi, "You come with me." ”

Xiaoxi blushed and nodded.

Xiao Qi was about to turn around and leave, but he remembered something again, turned around and said, "After the clansmen are settled, you can come and tell me." If nothing happens, I should be in Cloudsdale with King Chengji. He looked at Luo Xiaoyu, but both he and Gu Wanyi beside Luo Xiaoyu knew that these words were not meant to him.

After Xiao Qi left such words that seemed to have deep meaning, he didn't look at the people of the Wing Clan, and Mu Changsheng gave each other a deep look, no longer staying, turned around and walked forward, Xiaoxi hurriedly followed. Gu Wanyi opened her mouth, never spoke, and looked at Xiao Qi's back blankly.

"The rivers and lakes are far away, and the coming days are long. Brother Xiao will have a future meeting!" Mu Changsheng's voice came from behind, but it was like being wrapped in yellow sand in the sky, vast and distant, and Xiao Qi couldn't really hear it in the whirring wind.

The figures gradually shrank, and the two sides finally disappeared into an earthy yellow.

......

Xiaoxi looked at the direction of travel, and asked with some confusion: "Young master, aren't we going to find the old lady and them?" She could already vaguely see the outline of Shajiang City in the distance.

"Outside of Shajiang City, the nearest town is more than ten miles. If you don't replenish it, I'm afraid you will have to peel off the skin. Xiao Qiwu walked on his own and replied without looking back, "In addition, I still have some things to do in Shajiang City. ”

Xiaoxi answered softly and quietly followed behind Xiao Qi. Under the hot sun, she was already sweating profusely after walking a few steps, but she didn't want to delay Xiao Qi's affairs quietly, so she had to grit her teeth and persevere. Fortunately, Xiao Qi walked extremely slowly today, so Xiaoxi could barely keep up.

She lowered her head, avoiding direct sunlight on her face, and only stared at Xiao Qi's footprints in the sand, walking along this row of footprints. Suddenly, Xiao Qi stopped, and Xiaoxi hit him headfirst on his back.

She hurriedly raised her head, only to see a team approaching not far ahead. The two sides were still some distance apart, but they both stopped in unison, and the men in the carriage lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage. Xiao Qi, a person, frowned, his expression was quite surprised, obviously he didn't expect to meet that person here.

Wei Boyu still looked weak, but his face was a little bloody after all. He approached with a smile and bowed to Xiao Qi in a proper manner: "It's really fate, I met Your Excellency here." ”

Xiao Qi arched his hand casually, glanced at the person behind Wei Boyu, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Bo Yu has been bothering here for a long time, so naturally it's time to go back. Wei Boyu smiled, "If it's a few days late, when the news from the east arrives, Boyu is afraid that he won't be able to leave." ”

"Oh, what else are you doing in the east?" Xiao Qi stared at Wei Boyu, trying to get some clues.

Wei Boyu smiled and shook his head: "Your Excellency, don't panic, what Boyu did was harmless to Prince Chengji, but he helped the prince." Do you remember the agreement with Bo Yu? Dark Feather and Desert Wolf Camp, you and I have one for each person. ”

Xiao Qi looked at him in disbelief and asked, "You are thousands of miles away, can you really shake the tide of the battle?" In this way, this time the agreement was that I lost, and Dark Feather was still safely hidden by Di Yuan somewhere. ”

"Bo Yu doesn't know how to march and fight, he just provides some help. Even if Bo Yu's letter was successfully delivered to the Yunzhou army, it would only disturb Di Yunhao, and how much of a role it could play depends on how Bo Yu's brothers arranged. Even whether they adopt it or not, Bo Yu can't make the decision. And didn't you succeed in saving the Wing Clan? ”

Xiao Qi snorted: "Aren't you afraid that there will be a rift between Yunzhou and the Desert Wolf Battalion? What's more, in the cloud city next to it, there are also King Chengji and people from the north. ”

"No matter what happens in the east, it is all done by the traitor Di Yunhao of Shajiang City, and with Zhong Jue's ability, he will not leave a clue to find Yunzhou. As for whether or not Cloud City can be recaptured, in Bo Yu's opinion, it is not the key, but Shajiang City is more threatening. ”

Xiao Qi didn't know whether he should be good or unhappy as King Chengji's side. He didn't know much about the war in the East, so he simply didn't ask any more questions, and only chatted: "Then Di Yuan just let you out? You are a proton-like existence." ”

"Your Excellency is afraid that you don't know, this morning Marquis Di has already left the city with hundreds of soldiers, deep into the Western Desert, before leaving suddenly to dispel public opinion, and General Suoping Zhangsuo was named the son of Suping. Now in the city, General Suo, now called Suo Gongzi, is in charge of the administration of the city, and Yan Chen, the henchman of the Hou Ye, is in charge of the army. ”

"Prince Su Ping?" Xiao Qi repeated, "Title?"

"Exactly, it is used to confer the heirs of the Hou Mansion. is a higher position than today's second son Di Hui. Although Wei Boyu had a smile on his face, there was a glint in his eyes, "Di Houye's explanation is that Suo Gongzi is his lost pearl, and he has made meritorious contributions to the investigation of Di Yunhao's rebellion, so he has been given the title." Although the eldest lady was fully opposed, the matters decided by Di Hou Ye had never been decided by others. ”

Xiao Qi sneered: "Ruthless enough." ”

Wei Boyu looked calm, as if he was not the one who brought up this topic. He smiled again: "Today is the day of parting, so I will leave these matters to worry about in the future." On the same day, Boyu said that in Lizhou, he and Your Excellency are friends. Now Bo Yu is about to leave, and the next time I see you, I will be enemies with you. ”

Xiao Qi's face was expressionless: "Then you'd better pray that the day of goodbye will come later." ”

Wei Boyu smiled but did not speak. He gave Xiao Qi a look, and then slowly walked back to the carriage. He had just climbed into the carriage, and before he could get in, he suddenly turned back and said, "Before parting, I will give you another gift." ”

"What?" Xiao Qi didn't seem interested.

"The entourage brought by Bo Yu did not survive for a lifetime, so the money opened the way and hired people from the desert mercenary group to escort the east. The branch of this mercenary group in Shajiang City has just returned to the city from the Western Desert today to replenish supplies, and if Your Excellency plans to enter the city, they should be able to help. ”

"I don't have any money. ”

"Bo Yu has. ”

Xiao Qi looked at Wei Boyu in the carriage, and a slight smile climbed up the corner of his mouth.

"Thank you then. Now I hope that the next time we meet, it will be later. ”

......

The Desert Mercenary Regiment is one of the largest mercenary regiments in Lizhou, with branches in large towns such as Shajiang City and Black Rock City. Their purpose of doing business can be described as one: money opens the way, and those who come do not refuse. Even under the rule of Di Yuan's iron hand, he dared to take on some shady work. It is not impossible that they will go deep into the Western Wilderness with the caravan to sell goods, seek revenge and kill, and even be recruited to temporarily serve as private soldiers, so they have also developed extremely strongly.

Lu Yuan is a team leader of the Shajiang City Branch of the Desert Mercenary Regiment, and he has just finished running a single in the Western Desert, and he is about to enter the city to rest. Generally, the city of Sand Frontier welcomes the entry and exit of such mercenary groups and caravans, because their existence means that it will bring more money to the city, and according to the law, the city can increase taxes. Therefore, even though the city defense of Shajiang City has been extremely strict recently, the people who defend the city still easily let them in.

Lu Yuan led a team of carriages and horses through the entire Xicheng District and walked in the direction of the branch. There weren't many people coming and going on the street, and their team seemed a little abrupt. Lu Yuan was so happy that when he entered the stable of the branch, he organized his men to start unloading.

Watching his subordinates take out all kinds of precious materials from the carriage, Lu Yuan smiled and leaned comfortably on a carriage beside him. There is a lot of oil and water on this trip, and there is extra money to earn. He pondered in his heart.

He knocked on the plank on the top of the carriage, and a moment later the lid opened, and two figures, a man and a woman, emerged from it.

"Thank you. Xiao Qi helped Xiaoxi get out of the carriage, and then arched his hand at Lu Yuan.

"Hehe, the money opens the way, and those who come do not refuse. Thank you, how much is this thing worth?" Lu Yuan laughed, revealing his yellow teeth, "I haven't noticed it before, this chick looks quite peugeot." As he spoke, he reached out to touch Xiaoxi's little face.

Xiao Qi frowned and stood in front of Xiaoxi, and said, "The negotiated price has been given to Shopkeeper Lu, Shopkeeper Lu should not do anything inappropriate." ”

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "Look at your nervous appearance, I don't plan to do anything." Our desert mercenary group, honesty is the foundation! ”

He "slammed" the carriage lid shut: "The money and goods are cleared, why don't you get out quickly?"

Xiao Qi and Xiaoxi turned around and left, and they could still hear Lu Yuan sighing softly behind them: "Alas, it's a pity, how can such a peugeot girl be blind and follow this kid......"

Xiao Qi and Xiaoxi walked to the street and breathed a sigh of relief. Along the way, the people of the mercenary group stared at them with a strange gaze, which always made them creepy, for fear that they would face each other at any time. Fortunately, the desert mercenary group was able to grow, and it was really not a lord who was untrustworthy, even though there were many people's eyes sweeping back and forth on Xiaoxi's body with squinting eyes, but they still obediently gave way and let the two of them go out.

"Young Master, where are you going next?" Xiaoxi asked.

"It's inconvenient for you to come with me, I'll find you a place to settle first. ”

Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled the last time the lewd man with gray hair but ruddy face in the blacksmith shop who was difficult to identify his age, couldn't help but shiver again. But she never disobeyed Xiao Qi, so she only followed silently.
