I only heard the young man in the lead ask another person, "Big brother, are those barbarians from the Western Realm credible?"

"The people of Lizhou are more reliable than the people of Dongliu City. The older man's voice was rather low.

"Where did the second brother and Uncle Lin go, why don't you go to Shajiang City with us?" the young man continued.

"Naturally, they still have things to do. Father is coming back, everything has to be ready. ”

The young man was obviously a little dissatisfied: "Why did my father only tell you about Shajiang City, and my second brother and I didn't know anything?

"My father had his own arrangements, and he paid attention to the timing of everything, and now you know that the timing is just right. The voice was still calm and gentle, as if it had not noticed the young man's displeasure.

The young man seemed to still have a lot of doubts, and then asked: "In the battle of Cloud City, more than half of the Yunhai Iron Cavalry was lost, and most of the rest were hidden, is the second brother going to reconvene them?"

Liu Qingxue's heart moved, they were really from Yunzhou. Another voice hummed, indicating that he was right. The young man then asked: "All the Yunzhou troops have suffered heavy losses, what is the use of just recovering the Yunhai Iron Cavalry of more than 10,000 people? Do you really have to rely on those monsters in Shajiang City, and what kind of secret ...... that surnamed Suo said?"

"Shut up!" the other man quickly cut off his words, but only said them in his flat and elegant tone, which had no effect at all. But his voice was so loud that the entire noodle restaurant could hear it, and the entire noodle restaurant was silent for a moment, looking at them, Liu Qingxue also followed the example of the others, pretending to be surprised. The man coughed dryly twice, and then whispered, "Don't mention this name again." ”

The young man felt bored, so he didn't ask any more questions, and finished the noodles in the bowl in three or two bites. After a few moments, when the group had eaten about the same, they left a few small pieces of silver taels, and got on their horses and left.

Liu Qingxue went out with him, and saw Xiao Qi on the street corner not far away. As soon as Xiao Qi saw her come out, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Liu Qingxue told Xiao Qi what she heard as it was, and then said: "The rout of Yunzhou should be a fact, but I don't know when Yunzhou was involved with Shajiang City. After a pause, she suddenly lost her voice and said, "Isn't Shajiang City also a member of the coalition army?"

Liu Qingxue looked at Xiao Qi, expecting that he would definitely be worried about the situation in Benhai City after hearing the news, but he didn't expect that he was always pondering, obviously not listening to Liu Qingxue's words. "According to what you said, their conversation is not small, and they are not worried about outsiders listening to it, but there is something that they are so secretive that they can't mention it?"

As if he were talking to himself, he muttered, "Secret...... Dark ......"

As if he had been struck by lightning, Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, and his face changed greatly. Liu Qingxue saw his reaction in her eyes, and only felt inexplicable.

"I'm going out of the city!" Xiao Qi was about to leave before his words fell, leaving Liu Qingxue in place. Xiao Qi walked to the west of the city, but heard Liu Qingxue say behind him: "If you want to go to Benhai City, you should go east." You're not going to go after these people, are you?"

Xiao Qi stopped and showed a thoughtful expression. Liu Qingxue didn't know why, but Xiao Qi didn't explain, she couldn't help but feel a little angry in her heart, and wanted to leave him alone, but he seemed to know something, Liu Qingxue had a premonition of some uneasiness about the dynamics in Yunzhou, and wanted to ask Xiao Qi for an understanding.

"You are from the Liu family, and the people from the Liu family are running to Sea City, can you bring them a letter?" Xiao Qi said suddenly.

Liu Qingxue was stunned for a moment and said, "You're not going back to Benhai City?" I said, I won't go to Benhai City. If you know anything, let me know and I'll help you figure it out. ”

Xiao Qi had calmed down and whispered: "This matter is not clear for a while, I want to go to Qing...... Zhongnan Canyon is just a secret alliance between Shajiang City and Yunzhou, and it needs to be known to Benhai City, otherwise it will be dangerous. If you don't go, how should you ......?"

He caught a glimpse of the snow shadow in Liu Qingxue's hand, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Then I'll find someone to deliver the letter on my behalf!" After speaking, he inquired about the location of Fuhao Commercial Bank on the street. Liu Qingxue understood and asked, "Do you want to find Fuhao Commercial Bank to help you deliver the letter?"

Xiao Qi nodded: "Last time, Hou Yanchun said that they also have a business of transporting goods from the dart bureau, and they should not refuse the door-to-door business, not to mention that the other party is a big family like Benhai City, and the business bank must be able to make a lot of benefits." ”

Liu Qingxue couldn't help but ask: "What did you think of that made you anxious to go to Zhongnan Canyon and not even go back to Benhai City?" and then she thought of something, "And you go alone, do you know the way?"

Xiao Qi was stunned, ignored it anymore, hurried to the branch of Fuhao Commercial Bank in Fencheng, hurriedly asked the clerk for a pen and paper, and began to write a letter. Halfway through writing, he glanced up at Liu Qingxue and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to care so much, instead of caring where I go, it's better to report to the Liu family." Now the Shuozhou army is still stationed in Cloud City with the people of Shajiang City. ”

"You told Benhai City, and the people of the Liu family will naturally know. Liu Qingxue didn't want the Liu family to know her whereabouts, and she was naturally happy to have Xiao Qi to remind her.

"So you really still have a conflict with your family. Xiao Qi answered casually, Liu Qingxue snorted coldly, and her head was tilted elsewhere. He finished writing the letter and handed it to the clerk of the merchant house in charge, only to suddenly find himself penniless. He unconsciously looked back at Liu Qingxue, but Liu Qingxue didn't look at him squarely and deliberately looked away.

"If you don't pay the money, the Liu family won't receive the news, even if you have any conflicts with the family, you shouldn't be an indiscriminate person. Xiao Qi said lightly.

Liu Qingxue snorted noncommittally: "Don't say that you know me very well." He took out some silver taels from his bosom, which happened to be the same as the cost of the firm, no more, no less. Xiao Qi glanced at Liu Qingxue, didn't speak, handed the letter and silver to the clerk in charge, and then walked out of the door and went to the west of the city.

Xiao Qi walked to the city gate, turned around and said to Liu Qingxue: "Let's not live here, I have something to do, I have to go to Zhongnan Canyon, what are you going to do?"

"You don't have to drive me away yet, I'm going to Shajiang City, and we can go together for a while. Yunzhou and Lizhou are so far away, it must be necessary for each to form an alliance, and I want to find out what they are trying to do. ”

Xiao Qi asked, "Are you going alone?"

Liu Qingxue said coldly: "I have been alone until I met you, is there any problem?"

Xiao Qi nodded and said seriously: "No, it's just that when I met you, you were poisoned and almost died in the mountains and forests." ”

Liu Qingxue was angry for a while, a gloomy color appeared on her face, and she was about to argue, but found that Xiao Qi had already stepped forward. She cursed and followed. The two of them went out of the city through the west gate, and the group of people riding horses had long since disappeared. Xiao Qi wanted to buy a horse, but he didn't have half of it, and looking at Liu Qingxue's face, it was obvious that he wouldn't take care of himself. Although Liu Qingxue is a woman, she is very able to endure hardships, and she is not half a point behind Xiao Qi along the way, which also makes Xiao Qi slightly surprised.

It wasn't until the evening that the two of them rested, and Liu Qingxue bought some dry food and water before going out of the city, but kindly gave some to Xiao Qi. The night was cold, Xiao Qi lit a torch, and the two sat around the torch, silent all around, only a little insect and bird chirping and the sound of sparks bursting. Both of them are cold people, and it is normal for them to have nothing to say when they get together, and they don't feel that the atmosphere is awkward.

Suddenly, there was a burst of birdsong in the woods, much louder than before, and it came from one direction, followed by the obvious sound of birds flapping their wings, as if alarmed. Xiao Qi and Liu Qingxue stood up at the same time, holding the blade in their hands, Liu Qingxue "poofed", the snow shadow was already out of the sheath, and Xiao Qi held the spear in his hand that was snatched from the people of the Hongyuan Dart Bureau that day.

Under the firelight, the surroundings seemed to sway, light and dark. A black shadow suddenly appeared in the darkness, like a drop of ink splashed in the darkness. Liu Qingxue got closer to the black shadow, and as soon as the snow shadow in her hand was raised, she stabbed at the black shadow.

The other party obviously also had a blade, Liu Qingxue felt that the force coming from the blade was not small, so she took advantage of the situation to collect the sword, and then stabbed out with another sword. The two sides quickly exchanged several rounds, and the opponent always met the enemy from a high place, and the blade was longer than Liu Qingxue's blade, and Liu Qingxue could not have the upper hand for a while.

She was about to lure the black shadow to the firelight to see its face clearly, but she heard Xiao Qi shouting from the side: "Wanyi...... Girl!"

Liu Qingxue and the black shadow were stunned, and then Liu Qingxue felt the pressure in front of her drop sharply, and the black shadow swooped down from a high place like a falcon pounced, but the target was Xiao Qi.
