Zi Shuiyang took two sips of dry tobacco and took two puffs, "There are more than eight deep water kings, as far as the old man knows, there are still a lot of turtles hidden in the pool in the eastern capital, but I don't know that the Jin king Qin Quan brought a few out of the eldest prince." ”

Xiao Yu sighed: "The turtle old Wang Ba is the most cherished person, how could he come to this bitter cold place in the northwest." ”

Zi Shuiyang laughed, "It depends on how big the bait Qin Quan gave, or it is like an old man, he has no choice but to come." ”

Xiao Yu smiled faintly, "Elder Zi said with a smile. ”

Zi Shuiyang smiled and stopped talking.

At this time, Dunhuang City is the new city rebuilt after the destruction of the ancient city of Dunhuang, outside the city is the world-famous Thousand Buddha Cave, the Bodhisattva Buddha statue in the Thousand Buddha Cave and even Feitian, Jialan, Arhat, Venerable, Ming King, Heavenly King, King Kong, large and small statues have tens of thousands, it is no wonder that there are rumors that this is an abandoned mountain gate of the ancestral garden of Buddhism.

Whether the Thousand Buddha Cave is the abandoned mountain gate of the ancestral court of Buddhism, Xiao Yu doesn't care, what really catches his attention is the small Fangpan City located one hundred and eighty miles away from Dunhuang City, of course, speaking of Xiaofangpan City, unless the local people in Xiliang, people in other places have rarely heard of this name, but when it comes to its other name, I'm afraid there are very few people who don't know, Yumen Pass!

Yumen Pass is famous all over the world because of a Liangzhou poem: the Qinghe River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate.

Xiao Yu turned his head to look in the direction of Yumen Pass, and said softly: "Xiliang Corridor, from Wusheling in the east to Yumen Pass in the west. ”

At this time, it is only at dawn, the curfew of Dunhuang City is over, and the city gate has just been opened at this time, which is not as good as Yingtianfu in Zhili Prefecture, but it is definitely the most prosperous place in the many Xiliang Prefectures in the Gobi.

Xiao Yu and his entourage were inconspicuously lined up in the queue to enter the city, Xiao Yu said to Zishuiyang: "Even if you can't see Qin Quan, it's worth a trip to Yumen Pass." ”

Huang Hanji once said to Xiao Yu that if you send troops to Xiliangzhou from the West Road, there are two places that must be passed, the Hexi Plain and the Xiliang Corridor, of which the Hexi Plain is the granary of Xiliangzhou, and all the grain in a state is in the Hexi Plain. Although it is heavily guarded, the plains are easy to attack and difficult to defend. What really hinders the eastward and southward movement of the grassland cavalry is the first line of the Xiliang Corridor, and the Yumen Pass is the top priority in the first line of the Xiliang Corridor.

Xiao Yu stopped and watched for a while, and opened a huge gap with the people in line in front of him, the weather is not very good today, early in the morning, God has a calm face, and the howling wind blows on his body, cold. A man behind Xiao Yu was already waiting impatiently and began to urge Xiao Yu constantly.

"Don't go, don't go, don't get in the way. ”

Zi Shuiyang just bent his waist, smoking the dry cigarette in his hand vigorously, with an attitude that he had nothing to do with himself.

The woman who had been standing beside Xiao Yu snorted lightly and was about to speak.

Xiao Yu laughed and said softly, "Let's go." ”

The man had already seen the woman beside Xiao Yu, just looking at the silhouette made the man a little lost his soul, just now he urged Xiao Yu just to attract the beautiful woman's side eyes, at this time Xiao Yu ignored him, and the man had no other way, so he could only scold in a low voice: "It's really an eggless one, and I don't dare to put a fart." ”

The sound was not loud, but it could just reach the ears of Xiao Yu and his party.

Xiao Yu turned a deaf ear, and his footsteps did not pause for half a minute.

It was a pity that the woman next to the man didn't look at him from beginning to end.

At this time, Xiao Yu and the three of them had already walked through the curfew, and the woman suddenly glanced back at the man.

Syllable!

The left side of the man's face was white and white for no reason, and a red slap print appeared.

At the same time, a cold voice sounded in his ears: "Hit you because you don't have long eyes." ”

The man was shocked, covering the half of his face and looking around, as if trying to find out the person who spoke, "Who hit Lao Tzu? Get out of here?" Ge Lao Tzu, blind your ......"

Before he finished speaking, there was another snap, and the man was hit with a bright red palm print on his right face, which was symmetrical on both sides, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye than just now.

"I hit you because you have a bad mouth. ”

In a moment, the man's cheeks on both sides were red and swollen, and almost the entire face was deformed.

Now the man woke up, knew that it was powerful, and no longer dared to bark.

Xiao Yu and his party, who looked like a young couple in the middle of the family road with an old servant, walked through the city gate hole, Xiao Yu, who was walking in the forefront, suddenly turned his head sideways, and said to the woman who was slower than him beside him: "Qiu Si, why bother to meet him in general." ”

Qiu Si, who had a cold look on his face, just smiled lightly and did not speak.

Zi Shuiyang, who had been watching coldly, finally took the initiative to speak: "Let's go directly to the Xiliang Governor's Mansion?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "Let's take a walk around the city first." ”

The earlier Dunhuang City has long been buried by the wind and sand, and this Dunhuang City was built as a granary when the proprietor went west. After the proprietor's expedition to the west, the state was established as Xiliangzhou in the Hexi Plain, and the only Dunhuang city became the capital of Xiliangzhou.

After years of continuous expansion, Dunhuang has also changed from a small city of 70,000 or 80,000 people to a majestic city of hundreds of thousands of people. Because Dunhuang is constantly expanding to have today's scale, so the structure of the city is not the traditional vertical and horizontal chessboard format, but to the Governor's Mansion as the center, the big circle is surrounded by a small circle, the Governor's Mansion near the Governor's Mansion except for the Governor's Yamen, it is the mansion of the major clans, and the guard is extremely tight.

Since last night, the whole sky has been gloomy, as if a heavy snow is coming, and not long after Xiao Yu and the others walked into the city, goose-feather snowflakes suddenly fell.

Looking at this scene, he couldn't stop for a while, and Xiao Yu didn't want to be too maverick, so he had to find an inn to settle down in, but fortunately, there was a three-story restaurant and inn not far away.

The snow became denser and denser, and it was almost impossible to see the road, and after a while, a lot of snow accumulated on the road, and Xiao Yu's leather boots crunched on the snow, and he suddenly stopped and said with a wry smile: "Our luck is not very good." ”

Zi Shuiyang also stopped, looked up through the wind and snow.

On the roof of this three-story inn, there was a person, dressed in a black robe and a sword hanging from his waist, looking down and looking at Zi Shuiyang, who had just raised his head.

Zi Shuiyang smiled and said, "The eldest prince, this is the old man and the swordsman you said with good means. ”

Xiao Yu said softly, "Is the fourth sword slave of the Sword Sect?"

The sixth sword slave, the five sword slaves were killed in the hands of Qiu Ye, and the third sword slave died at the hands of Xiao Lie on the top of Qishan Mountain.

When I looked up again while speaking, the roof of the building was already empty, only snowflakes flying in the wind remained, as if it was just an illusion.

Zi Shuiyang's eyes were slightly gloomy, and he sneered: "Eldest prince, do you want to catch up with the old man?"

Xiao Yu frowned, "Forget it, it's not good to make too much noise when you first arrive in Dunhuang, so don't make any extraneous branches first." ”

Zi Shuiyang snorted coldly.

Xiao Yu sighed helplessly and said: "I am inseparable from the people of the Sword Sect, so naturally I want to get rid of him, but there is a disturbance here, and it is inevitable that there will be more variables." When he gets out of the city, he dares to come to find trouble, and you and I will let him stay forever. ”

Only then did Zi Shuiyang squeeze out a smile on his face, "The eldest prince is wise." ”
