"Speaking of which, where did Caiyu go up again?" Yiqian stretched out her head to look into the air when she said this. Colorful feather is the name that Yi Qian gave to the colorful bird, although Dugu Yi did not object, but he also did not call the colorful bird like this!

"What are you looking for?"

The cold voice suddenly sounded in her ears, making Yiqian panic 'ah' and retract into the carriage, remembering that the owner of this voice was the 'young master' she had seen not long ago, she poked her head out again, and complained with a dissatisfied face: "Please don't suddenly make a noise when people are unprepared, it's scary." ”

"Yes, yes?"

The 'young master' who was stared at by Yi Qian was obviously weak, but after realizing his 'gaffe', he immediately cleared his throat and asked as coldly as before, "What are you looking for?"

"Don't be so vigilant. Yi Qian waved her hand boredly, and then said, "I'm not interested in you or these goods, and besides, even the strength of our sister and brother can't threaten you." ”

"Please answer my question. The cold voice sounded again.

"It's so boring!" Yi Qian suddenly lost interest in this young master, but the other party had asked for the third time, and Yi Qian didn't want to anger the other party in this trivial matter. "Have you ever seen a bird with beautiful feathers?"

"Little bird?" the young master frowned. Where are the birds and finches in this yellow sand, could it be the carrier pigeons they use to communicate with their accomplices?

Seeing that the other party was on alert, Yi Qian sighed in her heart and said, "It's the one on my brother's shoulder before, your subordinates should have seen it." ”

"I didn't see it. The young master also answered Yi Qian's previous question at this time, looked up at the front, and said, "I'm here to tell you that the caravan is about to stop and rest." ”

"It's really a shame that you should come here in person for this little thing. The corners of Yi Qian's mouth drew a shallow arc, looked back at Dugu Yi in the cultivation of the mind, and said to the young master: "You can also prepare one for our sister and brother by the way when you are preparing lunch." ”

"It's nature. The young master nodded and rode out of the carriage.

Not long after the young master left, the caravan stopped. Except for a few people who were going to prepare lunch and build a fire, the rest of the people gathered under the carriage in the shade, and the young master also got into a carriage.

"Is that pair of sisters and brothers suspicious?"

The young master shook his head at the burly middle-aged man who asked the question, and said, "According to what my nephew can see, they are indeed not from ordinary families, and they are really not interested in us. ”

"Zhidong, no matter what it is, don't jump to conclusions. The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Even if there is nothing suspicious about them, you can't let up anything." ”

"Second Uncle is saying that they need to be closely monitored?"

"Monitoring?" The middle-aged man thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, "Let's find a way to find out their identities first, if we can get to know a powerful family through this pair of sisters and brothers, it will not be a good thing for our Liu family, but ......"

"Forget it. The middle-aged man sighed, and then continued: "I'll go and meet them in person later!"

"Uh!" Liu Zhidong made a surprised voice, and then said: "Just let your subordinates call them over, the second uncle will go in person, isn't it too much to promote them." ”

"It's fine. ”

Half an hour later, Dugu Yi and Yiqian were invited to the table where the food was arranged. It is said that the dining table is actually a wooden box with a length, width and height of about one meter.

"You two, please be seated!"

The middle-aged man who was already sitting in front of the wooden box looked at Yi Qian and said politely: "You can't bring a decent meal to entertain when you go out, don't blame it." ”

"You're welcome. Yiqian waved her hand lightly and sat down without much excuse. "Although I asked you to help us prepare, I didn't expect to be able to sit at the same table with you. ”

"Hehe!" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, and then introduced himself: "I am Liu Tingxiong of the Liu family in Qiyuan City. ”

"Liu family?" Yi Qian searched for information about this family in her mind, but unfortunately she didn't think of the slightest bit of information related to it, so Yi Qian was able to deduce that this Liu family didn't have much status in Qiyuan City.

"Liu Zhidong. Liu Zhidong reported his name as if he wanted to remind Yi Qian.

"I'm sorry, I really haven't heard of your Liu family. Yiqian smiled apologetically.

"You haven't been to Qiyuan City?" asked Liu Zhidong with some displeasure.

Liu Tingxiong waved his hand to signal that Yi Qian didn't have to care, and said: "The Liu family can only be regarded as a third-rate small family in Qiyuan City, and it is normal that Miss has not heard of it......;

"Yiqian. Yi Qian said her name lightly, and she was about to introduce Dugu Yi but someone exclaimed first.

Yi Qian...... Miss!"

A scorching light flashed in Liu Tingxiong's eyes, and he looked at Yi Qian fixedly, and his tone became respectful: "You, you are the daughter of the Situ City Lord?"

Yiqian is not like the average daughter of a family who stays at home and is in a deep boudoir, and she often wanders around the lacquered city on weekdays, so she will naturally be noticed by many people with her special identity.

"Have you heard of me?" Yi Qian also looked at Liu Tingxiong in surprise.

Yi Qian's rhetorical question made Liu Tingxiong firmly believe that the girl in front of him was the daughter of Situ Yunlong, the city lord of Qiyuan City, and Liu Zhidong on the side was also stunned, no matter how he could have imagined that the daughter of the city lord would appear on the Gobi in the wilderness, but the facts were in front of him!

Dugu Yi looked at the stunned uncle and nephew of the Liu family, turned to Yiqian again, and sighed helplessly.

Yiqian saw Dugu Yi sighing and gently patted the top of his head and said, "What are you dissatisfied with?"

"Nope. Dugu Yi replied briefly, turned to Liu Tingxiong again, and asked, "Where did you hire those mercenaries?"

"The city of Doron. Although Liu Tingxiong replied quickly, he was obviously much more restrained. "Except for our uncle and nephew and the three members of our family who were brought out of Lacquer Wall City, the rest were hired from Duolong City. ”

"All belong to the same mercenary group?" Dugu Yi asked again.

"Yes!"

Dugu Yi's brows immediately furrowed after receiving Liu Tingxiong's affirmative answer, and Yi Qian's face became solemn, if the people of the Zhao family caught up, these mercenaries would definitely hand over the two of them, and no one who was based in Duolong City was willing to offend the Zhao family.

Because the uncle and nephew of the Liu family didn't know what the two were worried about, it was difficult for them to ask, so they had to watch quietly.

After being silent for about two minutes, Dugu Yi finally spoke again: "If you don't want to get into trouble, let our sister and brother take the first step after this meal." ”

"This ......" Liu Tingxiong looked at Dugu Yi with an expressionless face in astonishment, and was very embarrassed in his heart! At this time, Liu Tingxiong naturally knew that this sister and brother must have a grudge against which force in Duolong City, but he didn't want to watch this opportunity to climb the city lord of Qiyuan City slip away from his eyes.

What should I do? Keep them, or let them go? In a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Tingxiong's mind, and finally, he clenched his fist: It doesn't matter what is wrong or not, as long as you can climb the big tree of the city lord, even if you return empty-handed this time, it will be worth it.

Liu Tingxiong, who was heartbroken, stood up, and hugged his fists at Yiqian and Dugu Yi and said, "No matter what trouble the young lady and the young master encounter, our uncle and nephew will definitely send the two of them to Qiyuan City safely." ”

Liu Tingxiong spoke sincerely and sincerely, but Dugu Yi was merciless, shook his head and said: "We understand your kindness." ”

Liu Tingxiong still wanted to insist, but Yi Qian followed Dugu Yi's words and whispered: "If the other party catches up, these mercenaries you hired will not listen to you anymore." ”

"This ......" Liu Tingxiong paused in surprise and asked in a low voice, "Who is the other party?"

"The Zhao family in Duolong City. Yi Qian's voice was very low, and she was also worried that the mercenaries would hear it and make them want to leave.

The expressions on Liu Tingxiong's uncle's and nephew's faces froze instantly, they naturally knew the influence of the Zhao family in Duolong City, not to mention those mercenaries, even they themselves didn't dare to offend easily!

"If our sister and brother can return to Qiyuan City, they will naturally not forget the hospitality they gave us today, so your Liu family doesn't have to take this risk. Yi Qian said with a smile.

Liu Tingxiong sighed in his heart, and said, "At least let me go with the two......

"Second uncle!" Liu Zhidong exclaimed, interrupting Liu Tingxiong. It's not that I can't guess Liu Ting's ambition's plan, but I didn't expect this second uncle to escort him personally, and I thought that at most, I would let him Liu Zhidong accompany him.

Yiqian turned her head to look at Dugu Yi, and when she saw him nodding, she said to Liu Tingxiong again: "Then I'll bother you." ”

So, after lunch, Liu Tingxiong and Yiqian and Dugu Yi took a carriage on the road; less than half an hour after the carriage left the caravan, a team of more than 20 horsemen appeared in Nanfang, needless to say, the Zhao family's pursuers came.
