The words fell silent for a moment, and the wind and sand brushed the ends of their hairs.

Mu Xingyi looked at the surprise on Xu Yuan's face, and said indifferently while drinking:

"Looking at Brother Zhou's expression, I think I really don't know about it."

Xu Yuan realized that his expression was out of shape, retracted his expression, and said:

"Zhou has been away from home for several years, and everything he sees and hears is the local terroir, and there are few channels to get such news."

“.”

Mu Xingyi stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, bowed his head slightly, and his expression was still the same weak smile that seemed to be eternal and unchanged:

"Well, that's the truth, although you have seen thousands of interesting anecdotes, most of them are trivial in the market, and few people have heard of such military events."

The Great Yan Dynasty had extremely strict control over public opinion on the news of the war, and if the imperial court was preparing to fight a war, if it was not directly related, let alone the small people in the market, even some state and county dignitaries could only get the exact news after the official start of the war.

Of course, these are men.

Xu Yuan glanced at the young man beside him.

Looking at the sick and indifferent young man in front of him, Xu Yuan's mood gradually began to complicate.

"It's already time, the Black Scale Guard's people should be there soon."

Damn, she didn't notice anything unusual about her son, and she was preempted by this Mr. Ran.

Saying,

“.” Xu Yuan.

Mu Xingyi arched his hand very politely, and said after punishing himself:

"Oh, I'm a little self-righteous."

"Are you in trouble?"

"Brother Zhou, do you think that if there is really a demon dragon in the Thousand Thorns Gorge, my Mu Clan Chamber of Commerce will sit idly by?"

"Brother Zhou,

"I was born to die sooner or later, I don't care."

While talking,

The silence lasted for a few breaths with the yellow sand swept by the night wind, and Xu Yuancai chuckled and shook his head:

“.”

His thoughts were interrupted, Xu Yuan raised his eyes to look at the girl in ink, and a smile curled up at the corner of his lips:

"What's wrong?"

With a light snort, Xu Yuan reached out to hold Ran Qingmo's outstretched little hand, pulled her to sit down on the other side, and the whole person collapsed directly on the soft couch behind him, staring at the slender back of the second girl sitting upright, and said softly:

"Don't mention this matter, after I see the person in charge of the Black Scale Guard in this town's West Mansion and get the news, let's go get the dragon essence.

The brocade-robed young man with his horse still walked forward without any pause, as if he had not heard his transmission.

As a local land snake, Mu Xingyi asked softly after thinking for a while:

"Zhenxi Mansion. There are a few good attractions in the city, but unfortunately I can't accompany you more, but I need to introduce some friends to Brother Zhou to lead the way? ”

A middle-aged man with a scruffy beard walked slowly into the car with the morning sun on his back.

Bai Muxi thought for a while and asked tentatively:

"Childe's friend is that Mu Xingyi?"

Looking at each other for a moment, seeing the strange banter in the other party's eyes, Zhou Chen was slightly unhappy in his heart.

Xu Yuan took a drink and shook his head:

Mu Xingyi knew about the war in the Western Desert, and even the matter of Li Junwu's desert goddess could be explained by his family, but the matter of the little demon dragon and the little dragon girl could not be explained by family affairs.

Touch

raised his eyes to look, but saw Ran Qingmo standing in front of him, his eyes clear and gently stroking his head with his hand.

Stopping the demon horse under his crotch, Mu Xingyi half-turned around and waved his hands, and saluted Xu Yuan seriously:

"Brother Zhou, if you go here, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see each other again, take care!"

Xu Yuan pulled the reins, but he was not in a hurry to return the salute, but bent his eyes and teased:

"It's hard to see each other again? Why do you feel Xingyi, your words seem to be cursing that I will have an accident in the Thousand Thorns Gorge? ”

"And the second is that a demon dragon should have died in the Thousand Thorns Gorge."

Xu Yuan walked in the direction of the doorway, but as soon as he took a step, he saw the young man who had no shadow of the doorway raising his hand and waving it behind him.

It's broken.

Mu Xingyi's voice was warm and unhurried: "At first, I really thought it was fake news, but this fake news seems to have come true recently. ”

"I can't elaborate."

This made Xu Yuan very vigilant, but he didn't see any hostility on this person's part when he was almost tempted.

Whether it was the look of Taishan who collapsed and did not change in the face of the attack of the wolves, or the sick body and indifferent temperament of everything, they all told Xu Yuan that there should be a big secret behind the person in front of him.

"Xu Yuan."

As a former dangerous pass, there were few civilian facilities in Zhenxi Mansion.

This Mu Xingyi seems to be very simple.

"I heard that some time ago, someone saw a living demon dragon appear in the Thousand Thorns Gorge, and the two pieces of information are connected, and the conclusion is self-evident."

To be honest, it was a habit to save the other caravan, and I thought it was interesting to befriend him.

“.” Xu Yuan's eyes unconsciously picked.

With so much information in the empty gloves, Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed.

Speaking of this, Mu Xingyi paused and said softly:

"But Brother Zhou didn't borrow the communication crystal station to communicate with his family?"

So as compensation, last night he directly took out a bottle of treasured wine worth 10,000 taels of silver, ready to give this kid a little money shock.

But it's a pity that Mu Xingyi's face still has that dying smile, and it hasn't changed the slightest.

Mu Xingyi slowly straightened up, shook his head and said:

"Brother Zhou Jiren has his own natural appearance, so naturally he will be fine."

As soon as the corners of Xu Yuan's lips were hooked, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Bai Muxi on the side, and he also quietly raised his hand.

Zhou Chen glanced at the strange brocade-robed boy sitting in the middle of the two daughters.

Being watched by the second daughter, Xu Yuan thought for a moment, but still chose to tell the truth:

"A friend I know is dying, so I have some complications in my heart."

Bai Muxi's eyes flashed, and he slowly got up and sat beside Xu Yuan:

Although he saw Xu Yuan's subtle expression, Mu Xingyi only drank and didn't speak again.

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed, he reached out and picked up the exquisite wine jug to fill it for the other party, and said softly:

"You mean to say that there is a demon dragon in this Thousand Thorns Gorge?"

"One of them is naturally the war in the Western Desert just mentioned, the deepest part of the Thousand Thorns Gorge can reach 10,000 zhang, the terrain is intricate, and the Tatar people often take advantage of the terrain to hide troops in it."

Xu Yuan bowed his head and sighed: "He gave me a lot of useful information last night, and he didn't ask for anything in return. ”

"I didn't lie to you."

"Heh, Brother Zhou is an interesting person."

Mu Xingyi smiled slightly, looked at the majestic doorway that had gradually approached, and said:

"Zhenxi Mansion is still an important pass town after all, and the procedures for entering and leaving the city are quite cumbersome, so let's send it here."

"yes, you can't help if you want to."

"Why?"

Xu Yuan stared at the other party's eyes and asked with a smile:

"Xingyi, do you know anything about the war in the north?"

The code is correct.

Mu Xingyi put down the cup and shook his head under Xu Yuan's slightly interested gaze: "Brother Zhou, what I just said is already all I know. ”

Can't see through.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also slightly retracted his expression and asked:

"So, can you elaborate on this matter?"

Ran Qingmo stared at him for a few breaths, and said softly:

"You seem to be in a bad mood"

"You mean, there are demon dragons over there in Gu Yuan who are looking for the remains of the clansmen?"

However, the battle line moved westward, and the Zhenxi Army set up the Monan Prefecture on the west side of the Qianjian Gorge, and after the Zhenxi Mansion became a large rear, with the long-term business travel, this place gradually had a bit of prosperity in the hinterland of the Great Flame.

The girl in ink kept moving her hands and asked softly:

"Xu Yuan. Are you feeling better now? ”

“.”

Mu Xingyi smiled and shook his head, lowered his eyes, stared at the wine in the glass in front of him, and his eyes were half-narrowed:

"My life was saved by Brother Zhou, this information is useless to me, it would be great if I could help you."

“.” Xu Yuan repeated the action just now.

Mu Xingyi's tone was slow and reasonable, and his fingertips gently gestured on the desk:

forthwith

This is the person who came to get information?

Compared with the cumbersome Confucian robes and corsets of Dayan, the atmosphere of the residents here is extremely open, and many of them walk on the street shirtless.

Open the door,

Three long and one short.

Mu Xingyi's words were very light, his delicate face was emotionless, staring at Xu Yuan, and there was no highlight in his dark eyes as always:

It's rude.

Frowning, Zhou Chen saw that the other party had no intention of getting up to greet him, and directly threw the secret letter containing intelligence on the blanket in the carriage, and then silently turned around and left a few steps, but suddenly remembered that the shadow of the ink clothes beside the man was a little familiar

Ponder for a moment,

Zhou Chen's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry. I don't say this to tease you. ”

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan bowed:

"Thank you Xingyi for reminding me."

can save this person by chance,

or, is the onset of their own eyebrow pencil attributes,

Either that, it's the big ice lump in the practice.

The next morning,

Xu Yuan shook his head and said leisurely:

"There should be someone in the Mu Chamber of Commerce who wants him dead, and he is not prepared to resist."

“.”

But on the other hand, Mu Xingyi didn't ask Xu Yuan a single question.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and a touch of strangeness unconsciously rose in his heart, and he asked in a deliberately slightly hesitant tone:

"Demon dragon? Can you tell me about this? ”

Maybe it's influenced by the culture of the Western Regions, or maybe it's the same as the atmosphere of the people here.

The two daughters, Ran Qingmo and Bai Muxi, practiced in the carriage, while Xu Yuan and Mu Xingyi carried their horses at the front of the caravan.

With the lifting of the curfew, the huge Zhenxi Mansion has gradually changed from silence to hustle and bustle.

Mu Xingyi really doesn't seem to have any bad intentions.

Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Yuan, who didn't say a word after returning to the carriage, silently dispersed the exercises, and asked in a low voice:

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's not necessary, no matter how the war in the Western Desert develops, it won't have much to do with my family, and Zhou came here just to enjoy the scenery of the Thousand Thorns Gorge."

One side of the water and soil, one side of the people.

Before the words fell, Xu Yuan suddenly felt that his head was covered with a cold and tender little hand.

He quickly turned around and glanced at the secret letter that was still on the ground, and through the unclosed car door, he saw that the brocade-robed boy had already bent down and picked it up.

The exposed lower abdomen, slender waist, slender and toned thighs, and the healthy tan skin are a little dizzying at a glance.

Ran Qingmo's eyes were puzzled, but he didn't understand.

Mu Xingyi did not answer immediately, but exhaled lightly and replied ambiguously:

"It may or may not be, because the source of the demon dragon's appearance has not been confirmed, but if Brother Zhou wants to travel to the Thousand Thorns Gorge, it is best to be cautious."

Hearing this, Xiaobai, who was silently opening the book on the side, also hurriedly dispersed the exercises, and looked at Xu Yuan with a little concern.

“.”

Xu Yuan turned over and dismounted, also bowed solemnly, and said with a smile:

"Borrow your auspicious words, when I come back from the Thousand Thorn Gorge, I will go to the Mu Ancestral Courtyard to find you again when I have free time."

"Where there is transgression, I still hope for Xingyi Haihan."

"It's just some rumors."

Yesterday's night talk, the harvest was very rich, Xu Yuan learned a lot of secret from Mu Xingyi's side.

“.”

The huge caravan engraved with the logo of the Mu Chamber of Commerce swaggered through the market, attracting the attention of residents on both sides.

Mu Xingyi returned the gift, looked sideways at the other side of the abyssal giant valley under his feet, and whispered thoughtfully:

Saying,

Mu Xingyi's quiet voice as usual came slowly:

But just like the other party's gaze, Mu Xingyi nodded, looked at the Xizhimen that was getting closer and closer, and smiled indifferently:

"After passing the city gate, you are ready to enter the Thousand Thorns Gorge immediately?"

"But thanks to Mu Xingyi's intelligence to determine the location, otherwise it would not be impossible for us to spend a year and a half in the Thousand Thorn Gorge."

Xu Yuan took out a chronograph clock, glanced at the time, and said softly:

It's the same vice versa.

Xu Yuan thought about it, shook his head and said:

"Thank you Xingyi for your kindness, but I prefer to discover interesting things on my own rather than follow the travel strategies that others have walked."

Mu Xingyi drank Xu Yuan's good wine sickly, and his voice was quiet: "Decades ago, there was a shape-shifting demon dragon that came to the territory of Dayan, and was seriously injured by the strong people of Dayan and his whereabouts are unknown. ”

Looking at the buildings on both sides with a little Western Regions style constantly retreating, Xu Yuan enjoyed the scenery along the way, and chatted with Mu Xingyi with a match.

Just like now.

“.” Bai Muxi blinked his eyes.

"Well, there are probably two reasons."

"Determined to die."

Women still wear a bandeau to cover their shame, but most of them are just that.

"It's all the same.

“.”

“.” Xu Yuan looked at her hand.

"If Brother Zhou is really interested, I can introduce you to the merchants in the West Mansion of this town, he has a lot of resources from intelligence dealers."

The Fourteen Prefectures of Great Yan are too big, and few forces can spread throughout the world.

"It's not because of this."

“.”

Grass.

Xu Yuan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he continued to transmit the voice:

"Xingyi, if someone wants to harm you, I can escort you to the Monan Metropolitan Mansion."

Standing in place, looking at the brocade-robed young man who was riding the Gundam demon horse and gradually walking towards the doorway, Xu Yuan's brows gradually furrowed, and he suddenly realized something, and suddenly transmitted to the other party:

"This person's face is too pale, and judging by the fact that his qi is very weak, he should be suffering from a very serious hidden disease."

Xu Yuan bowed his head lightly and lowered his eyes: "I just don't know why this kid became like this."

Although the forces on the Western Desert side of the war in the north cannot be said to be ignorant, most of them are only superficial.

"Thousand Thorns Gorge. It doesn't seem to have been peaceful lately. ”

There was silence in the carriage for a moment, and Xu Yuan's eyes were puzzled.

"Hmm."

Half an hour after the words fell, there was a rhythmic knock on the door.

"How?" Xu Yuan asked subconsciously.

After looking at each other for a moment, Mu Xingyi lowered his eyes slightly.

Mu Xingyi smiled lightly when he heard this, but did not reply, nodded and prepared to leave on his horse.

Gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan looked around the street and said with a smile:

"Since you are traveling all over the world, you will naturally have to go around this new place, and after sending you out of the city, you will be ready to play in the west of this town for two days."

“.” Xiao Bai pouted and silently put his hand down.

“.”

Xu Yuan gently stretched out his hand and dusted off the secret letter, and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Chen, who was staying outside the car:

"Isn't Mr. Zhou leaving?"

“.” Zhou Chen.
