At night, the barren bone beach.

A horse team of more than 100 people, escorting dozens of carts, waited in a puddle deep in the Gobi Desert.

Hu Yanjing, who was carrying a saber, rode on a tall horse and looked far away to the southwest.

And beside Hu Yanjing, there is also a monk wearing a monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck, a fat head, big ears, thick eyebrows, and tiger eyes, giving people the impression that he is a little more arrogant than Hu Yanjing.

The monk is called Xuanye, who was originally a disciple of the Thousand Buddha Temple in Shahai, but he didn't recite many years of scriptures, and he also entered Vanity Fair, changed his name to Zhang Xuanye, and served as a doorman in Liang Wangfu, and is currently one of the two leaders of the Black Flag Gang.

Hu Yanjing's background is also not simple, his ancestors are Liang Zhou Jiangmen, and Shi Yanfeng, Jian Yuhua and others have similar backgrounds, after the destruction of the Great Yan Kingdom, he went to the rivers and lakes, relying on the ancestral horse chopping knife to fight a world, Jiang Zahu also recruited, but Hu Yanjing's ancestors are generals, and his ambition is not in the rivers and lakes, but he wants to recreate the glory of his ancestors, so he took refuge in King Liang and became the leader of the Black Flag Gang.

The two rode tall horses, and after waiting for a long time on the Gobi Desert, a carriage came from the depths of the Gobi Desert.

Grunt......

The carriage is different from the common frame car in Liangzhou, the workmanship materials are very luxurious, the front cart is pulled by two pure white horses, and there are more than ten warriors with horse pistols around, all dressed in uniform queues, just by looking at the momentum, you can know that you are born in the army, compared with the rough horse gang man behind Hu Yanjing, it seems to be a person from two worlds.

Seeing this, Hu Yanjing and Zhang Xuanye drove their horses to the front of the frame and bowed:

"Childe."

The carriage stopped on the Gobi Desert, and the door of the carriage was opened by a maid, and it could be seen that the lights were bright inside, and in the center sat a young man in a brocade robe, quite handsome, at most eighteen or nineteen years old, with a decorative tasseled sword hanging from his waist.

After the carriage stopped, the young man jumped off the carriage on tiptoe, and when he saw the chaotic caravan, he said dissatisfiedly:

"Yan Jing, go find some clean clothes and let them change their outfits. If I go to talk about business outside the border, if I pretend to be more rude than the barbarians of Beiliang, wouldn't it be a loss to my Great Wei's face......"

Hu Yanjing turned over and dismounted, and flattered:

"That's what Childe said. However, there is a lot of dust on the Gobi Desert, and these pawns don't like to be clean, and their new clothes are dirty in the past, so I will prepare for them when I get to the pass......"

Hu Yanjing's status in Liangzhou is also a head shorter than the Hongshan Gang, and other Jianghu people basically have to be called Hu Gang Leader when they see it, the reason why they are so respectful to this young man with mediocre martial arts is because this young man's identity is not ordinary.

The young son's name is Dongfang Shangqing, the youngest son of King Liang, although he is not the son of the world, and his status is much lower than his brother 'Liang Badou', but for the people of the rivers and lakes, he is still a big man who can't be provoked.

Dongfang Shangqing is the eldest, and when the eldest brother dies, he can't take the throne, so he has not been trained in military and political affairs since he was a child, and his talents are all put on taking care of the family business, and he has taken over a lot of private property in Liang Wangfu since last year.

Now that the imperial court and the Northern Liang armistice have formed an alliance, the two dynasties have begun to gradually trade, such a big oil and water business, it is impossible for the king of Liang to just escort it, and let all the money be earned by the merchants of the two dynasties, and the palace has also formed a chamber of commerce.

Dongfang Shangqing personally led the team this time to participate in the 'Ten Thousand Departments Assembly' in the ancient city of Langxuan in the Xihai Prefecture, and discussed business with the mountain kings over there.

Dongfang Shangqing led people to the fully loaded carriages, and after checking a few glances at various groceries, he asked:

"Yanjing, you know what happened in the capital a few days ago, right?"

Hu Yanjing followed behind him, nodded and said:

"Childe said that the prince of Yan Wang rebelled? I know some ......."

"Know that your hands and feet are cleaner. My father has been busy with military and political affairs all the year round, and he has no energy to take care of sesame trivial matters, so I am not so easy to fool. ”

Dongfang Shangqing turned his head and looked quite serious:

"For caravans with royal flags, the border troops will not set up cards to strictly investigate, and it is very simple to bring something in and out of the pass. A few days ago, there was a chaos in the capital, thousands of catties of black feather grass entered from outside the customs, loaded a whole boat, and the border army didn't hear any wind, you tell me, how did the prince of Yan Wang get these things in? ”

Hu Yanjing was stunned for a moment, and then said innocently:

"Childe, you have wronged me. If the prince of Yan got something, he must have entered the pass from Yanzhou. I have been helping the prince for so many years, and I can't spend all the money I gave in my life, so how can I risk killing my head to do smuggling business. Moreover, the Hongshan Gang has several trade routes, which can cross the desert from Shazhou to Beiliang, and it is not much more stable to find them than to find me......"

Zhang Xuanye, who was next to him, also said when he saw this: "I'm afraid that Gongzi is too worried, I have been in charge of the accounts of the Black Flag Gang, and the goods in and out will be seen, if the Hu gang leader has a problem, I would have already submitted the news to the prince." ”

Dongfang Shangqing was just suspicious, and he didn't say much without empirical evidence:

"Whether there is a problem or not, it is best to accept it for me in the future. The matter of black feather grass can be traced back to the source, if the head of the Black Flag Gang is found, the father will become an accomplice, and maybe he will be instigated by the son of Yan Wang to assassinate him, and he knows what will happen to the two of them at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, Dongfang Shangqing turned around and returned to the carriage and drove north.

Hu Yanjing turned over on the horse with a horse chopping knife, and saw Dongfang Shangqing enter the carriage, his face was not very good-looking, and after glancing at Zhang Xuanye, he lightly clamped the horse's belly and followed.

"Driving ......"

Grunt......

——

The endless wilderness was starlit, and the carriages and horses were parked on the withered yellow grass, and a bonfire was built beside them.

He Long and the others sat on the ground dressed as ordinary dart masters, holding a wooden stick in their hands, wearing a hare on it, and roasting it back and forth on the fire.

And the old dart master Yang Chao was holding a small wine bag, and said with a slightly drunk face:

"Liang Zhou is poor, but except for the ubiquitous horse bandits, everything else is actually quite good. Look at this day, this place, this moon, no more comfortable than crowded in the small alleys of the capital......"

"Indeed, there are no rivers and lakes here, but they are much purer than the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains, and if you can use it, you can use a knife in your hand, and your identity background is useless on the Gobi Desert, and it has only been a few days, and I almost forget that I am catching fast......

……

Not far away from the carriage, the night terror hall held a roasted hare, walked to the lighted carriage, looked up and saw the bird that had always been reincarnated by the hungry ghost, uncharacteristically did not come, but stood on the back of a camel at the back of the convoy, watching Fan Qinghe, dressed as an exotic beauty, feeding the camel, and still muttering:

"Twitter......"

Fan Qinghe obviously didn't understand, the bird was saying, "What else to feed, or let's roast the camel", and thought that the bird was begging for food, and the cow head did not respond to the horse's beak:

"You want to eat grass too? Then, give you a ......."

"Huh?"

……

The night terror hall was a little funny, and by the way, he also turned his head to look at the queen mother's carriage.

Inside the carriage, the Queen Mother was half-leaning on Hongyu, holding a telescope in her hand; Hongyu knelt behind her back as a soft pillow, helping the Queen Mother rub her shoulders.

The Queen Mother closed one eye, and was looking at the stars in the sky through the car window with a telescope, and when she was engrossed, a huge eye suddenly appeared in the field of vision, which scared her shoulders and quickly moved away from the telescope, only to find that the night terror hall was standing at the window with a big roast rabbit.

The Queen Mother was not allowed to eat and drink spicy food when she woke up, she was almost stupid, and hurriedly sat up when she saw this, the gas state was the Queen Mother of the world, but her hands were quite sharp, and she stretched out the window directly:

"Shocking, just let Hongyu go over and get it after working hard, why bother to run it yourself~"

？

The roast rabbit in the hand of the Night Terror Hall, but it took a lot of effort to roast it stupidly, and one of them was pulled by the Queen Mother without paying attention, and hurriedly said:

"Eh, Queen Mother, you just woke up, eating these stomach-hurting ......"

The Queen Mother felt that she couldn't stabilize Fengyi anymore, so she took the roast rabbit and sat on the opposite side, waved her hand and said:

"It's okay, this palace knows the proportions, so I'll take a bite, and give the rest to the red jade. You go get busy first, you don't have to take care of the palace......"

The night terror hall felt that the queen mother's eyes were almost green, and he dared to scratch him for fear of grabbing it, so he had to take a step back and say:

"Hongyu, you take good care of it, you can't overeat if you've been hungry for a long time."

Hongyu was very obedient, got up and sat down in front of the Queen Mother, and began to grab the roast rabbit.

The identity of the queen mother is here after all, and she can't show the appearance of a starving ghost reincarnated, so she secretly reluctantly handed the roast rabbit to Hongyu for her to distribute, thought about it and asked:

"Shocking, how far is Maple Lake from here?"

"Maple Lake ......"

Night Terror Hall looked at the wilderness and thought for a moment:

"It's about two hundred miles away from here, and the Queen Mother wants to go and see it?"

The Queen Mother has seen the Maple Lake from the secret history of Cleopatra, probably the first time the prince and the Queen Mother eloped to Liangzhou, the two of them are in the red maple sea for the sky for the quilt, the ground for the bed or something, the scenery is extremely beautiful, to Liangzhou must want to go, she hesitated:

"I heard that the scenery over there is good, is it a good way? If you don't stop by the way, forget it, this palace is just a casual mention. ”

Night Terror Hall This trip is to send the Queen Mother for treatment, and after the Queen Mother woke up, although the poison is still there, but the complexion is obviously much better, as long as you learn to bathe in the fire map, it will be fine, and the current must be to recuperate after illness to make her happy. He smiled and said:

"The general direction is the same, that is, the route should be deviated to the west, which is also considered a smooth way. When we get to the place, where do we stay, the Queen Mother will take a good look. ”

The Queen Mother's eyes lit up slightly, she bit her lower lip and smiled, and bowed her head gently.

Seeing this, the Night Terror Hall said no more, and after taking his leave, he went back to the campfire, roasted a hare again, and then came to the big clumsy carriage.

——

After discovering the clues of smuggling scaly steel during the day, Dongfang, who was just relaxed, was troubled by troubles, and after the convoy stopped, he stayed in the carriage and discussed countermeasures with Meng Jiao:

"I'm afraid that this matter is very involved, it is impossible for the Zhenguo Gong to secretly communicate with the enemy country, and if the King of Liang wants to cooperate with the enemy, he will not only smuggle the scale steel, so that he can sell it for a few dollars...... This king suspects that there is a traitor in the Yazhou army, and he deceived his superiors and subordinates and conspired with the Black Flag Gang, and poured his ordnance to Beiliang......"

"It involves the land of the two states and Beiliang, the scope is too large, and we can't take the time to investigate, so we can only summon Chen Miao and Tu Jiu Lin and let them go to Yazhou to investigate this matter......

……

Night Terror came to the door of the carriage with a roast rabbit, and saw that the two were discussing business, so he did not go in to disturb him.

Dongfang Liren, who was frowning, smelled the fragrance, raised his eyes, and found that the night terror hall was shaking the roast rabbit outside, stopped his words and turned his head and said:

"Meng Jiao, you go and rest first."

"Yes."

Meng Jiao stood up and left the carriage.

Seeing this, Night Terror jumped into the carriage, came to the carriage, and handed the shiny roast rabbit to Dongfang Liren:

"Just baked, Your Highness tastes like it."

Dongfang Liren sat upright on the small couch, picked up the kettle and poured a glass of water for the Night Terror Hall:

"Let's put it there for now, this king has no appetite now."

"I roasted it myself, and it doesn't taste good when it's cold."

Night Terror Hall knew that Dongfang Liren hadn't eaten all afternoon, and after sitting down in front of him, he took a bite of a small piece of crispy rabbit meat and came to Dongfang Liren:

"Huh?"

？？？

Dongfang left the action of pouring water, Yu Guang first looked left and right, and then sat up a little straighter with a slightly cold eye, wanting to be as fierce as before.

But the two of them have kissed many times, and Night Terror Hall has been recuperating from her injuries for so many days, and she can be happy for a long time when she touches her, and it seems a little too cruel to refuse harshly.

Dongfang thought about it slightly, but still pulled up the curtain, and then made a disgusted look, and the red lips slightly wanted to take the rabbit meat.

What she didn't expect was that as soon as she got closer, the incomprehensible color embryo in front of her actually shrank back and swallowed the rabbit meat:

"Hey...... Eh, eh! I was wrong...... Ahh......h

What kind of temper does the East have when he leaves? How can I endure being teased like this, I immediately pressed it, pressed the night terror hall on the backrest, reached out to draw the knife, and saw that the night terror hall was in pain, and the strength quickly disappeared, and I glared coldly instead:

"You are presumptuous! Who are you who can really offend this king? ”

Night Terror Hall leaned on the couch and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are not happy, just kidding, come and eat something, don't Queen Mother, you have burned your body again." ”

"Humph......"

Dongfang stared at the people for a moment, then turned his head and gnawed on the roast rabbit, chewed it slowly, and said:

"This king has been holding back for a long time, and the lust makes you dizzy. I knew that I would have taken Miss Ning'er with me, with her, you wouldn't be so idle at night. ”

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, and sat up again:

"Just kidding, I didn't take advantage of His Highness, how can I say that I am dizzy. It's really boring to go out and dart, I used to pass the time by reading books, how did the gifts that His Highness gave me, how did you prepare? ”

Dongfang Liren left the capital and stayed in the carriage all the time, and when there was nothing to do, he naturally prepared gifts in the Night Terror Hall.

At this time, the night terror hall asked, Dongfang moved away from the people's eyes, took out a stack of papers from the small drawer next to him, and put it on the small table:

"It's almost finished, it's the only one in the world, don't you want this king to paint you a second time."

Night Terror quickly returned to his usual cold look, and his girlfriend stopped feeding, handed the roast rabbit to Ben Ben and let her eat it herself, and then took a hand towel and wiped her hands carefully.

？？

Dongfang Liren took the roast rabbit and took a deep breath, causing the fat-headed dragon to come out and gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you want this king to help you order another piece of sandalwood?"

"It's not necessary, I'm not that particular."

Night Terror Hall tidied up his robe and picked up the paper, like a cold general who dealt with military affairs late at night, carefully picking up the paper and looking at it.

“……”

Dongfang Liren rolled his eyes slightly, ate the roast rabbit for a while, and saw that the night terror looked intoxicated, a little unbearable, and finally put the thing down, his eyes narrowed slightly, and slowly revealed a murderous aura.

Night Terror Hall observed the immersive painters, and found that there was a chill around him halfway, so he turned his head to look at it, and then apologized:

"I'm sorry, Your Highness's painting is too good, and it's a little fascinating. I went out to see and didn't disturb His Highness's rest. ”

As he spoke, he prepared to get up with his things.

？

Dongfang Liren was naturally annoyed when he saw this, raised his hand and snatched the album and hid it behind his back:

"What do you mean? I think the album is more important than this king, in order to see the album, you can put this king aside? ”

Night Terror Hall hurriedly shook his head: "How come, I definitely like the album carefully prepared by His Highness, but His Highness doesn't accompany me to read it." If I get the album and throw it aside without looking at it, just accompany His Highness to talk nonsense, wouldn't His Highness feel more kind as a donkey's liver and lungs? ”

Dongfang Liren blinked, feeling that this statement was really a bit reasonable, and then said:

"Why can't I see what this king painted with you? With your calligraphy and painting attainments, can you understand the doorway on the painting? ”

Night Terror Hall was quite interested in this matter, and sat down a little more in front of him, waiting and seeing:

"I just think it's good, there are some places that I really can't understand, why don't Your Highness tell me the way?"

Dongfang Liren snorted lightly, took out the Spring Palace album again, and asked coldly:

"You don't understand that one? It is not allowed to refer to those paintings that cannot be put on the table, but only to ask questions about the painters. ”

Night Terror Hall laughed, raised his right hand to bypass the clumsy waist, wrapped her in his arms, flipped the paper with his hand, found the page in which the chivalrous woman was wounded, and gestured to her figure:

"The pictures of the beauties in other albums are more floating, and I can feel the artistic conception, but I can't feel the impact of the body. Look at this one, with your hand pressed against the placket, you can clearly feel the tension and flesh......"

Dongfang Li's face is actually a little red, but his eyes are full of pride:

"This is the king's own research, using light and shade, lines to draw a three-dimensional effect on the paper, the master will not be able to ...... this hand"

"yes, it's amazing...... There must be a reference for such a drawing, right? How did His Highness draw it? ”

“……”

Dongfang Liren blinked, hesitated slightly, or solved the confusion of the night terror, raised his hand to take a mirror from the side, put it on the small case in front of him, and then raised his hand to hold down the fat head dragon, and his five fingers fell into the fleshy group:

"That's all."

"Oh......"

Night Terror suddenly realized, carefully looked at the drawing paper a few times, and turned the paper to the page of Shuangjiao's offering of peaches:

"This is also looking in the mirror?"

"You!"

Dongfang Liren's face turned red, he felt that this color embryo was simply unreasonable, and wanted to go back and clean up the night terrors.

And the Night Terror Hall hurriedly restrained Dongfang from the people, and said with a pleasant face:

"It's just curious, just kidding, how could His Highness pose in this pose in private and look in the mirror. I look at the painting carefully and don't talk nonsense, and His Highness is also quiet, beware of being heard by outsiders. ”

Dongfang was hugged very tightly, and he struggled twice and didn't break free, so he gritted his teeth secretly, and continued to explain the knowledge of calligraphy and painting that Night Terror Hall didn't listen to at all.

Night Terror Hall was initially holding and watching, but later felt that the posture was a little tired, so he leaned on the armrest of the small couch instead.

And Dongfang Liren was also pulled into his arms, although his eyes changed a little, but he didn't say anything in the end......
