Chapter 54: Yumen Pass

"Hmph, what's true about this! General Ben just slashed him with his sword! ”

Xiao Chengyu looked at the sleeve of her shirt that was already wet with her tears, saliva and snot, and waved his hand in disgust.

Yao Yun finally turned sideways to look at him, and there was a rare amount of gratitude in her red and swollen eyes.

"Thank you, General. But don't bother you, General. I later heard that he unfortunately fell into the river and drowned on the way to the state and county to take the exam. This can be regarded as an eye! He was dead, and I was relieved that I was alive. ”

Xiao Chengyu's face remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly became a little colder, how could there be such a coincidence in this world? Probably someone is behind the scenes. If that's the person, it's not surprising!

Xiao Chengyu suddenly felt that the sleeve on her side was pulled tighter by the little lady, and at this time she had stopped crying and was looking at him with a pair of innocent and innocent eyes.

His throat tightened, and he unconsciously swallowed a few dry and tight throats. This is a naked seduction and temptation!

"General, as a man, can you answer a question from the slave family?"

He tugged at the sleeve of his shirt that was pulled tightly, and resolutely refused: "No, don't ask, I don't want to listen." ”

Yao Yun wiped his reddened eyes, looked at him wistfully, and said boldly: "General, if you knew that I had been humiliated by entering the Qinglou, you would indeed be unwilling to accept me as a concubine, right?" ”

She was asking him, looking for an answer, in fact, she had always wanted to ask Mr. Zheng in her heart!

He was stunned, this little lady was really daring. But she didn't know that it seemed that he was forced to take her as a concubine, but in fact, he did not stop his mother's dirty means, and accepted her as a concubine as he wished. She's still very useful!

Xiao Chengyu pursed her lips, and the corners of her lips hooked up a flirtatious and presumptuous smile, pulling her white wrist.

"If the lady wants to know the answer, she still has to let my husband and me feel comfortable and happy......"

"Xiao Chengyu, you old ruffian......"

"Ah, lighter ......"

However, after a long time, the small warm pavilion was full of delicate sounds, and the room was full of charm.

The bright moon rises out of the Tianshan Mountains, and the vast sea of clouds. The long wind is tens of thousands of miles, blowing the Yumen Pass.

A group of several people finally arrived at the northwesternmost pass in the territory of the Great Zhou Kingdom - Yumen Pass. Continue to go north from Yumen Pass, cross the mountains and cross the North Mountain, and then cross the steep and majestic northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, you can reach the boundary of Yizhou north of the Tianshan Mountains, and then continue to walk forward to reach Tingzhou, where the Beiting Protectorate is located.

Because it was getting late, Xiao Chengyu ordered everyone to rest all night in the small square city in front of the Yumen Pass, and then continue to set off tomorrow.

"Sister Yao, there are a lot of aliens here, and there are many people who have rarely been seen in Liangzhou......"

"The ladies who wear white veils to cover their black hair are probably Hui people, and their tradition is that women must wear white veils when they go out to cover their faces and black hair. The slender beauties with blond, blue-eyed and curly hair over there must have come from further afield in Persia......"

"Sister Yao, look at it, the big string of yellow, orange and orange water in their hands, I don't know what kind of weird food it is, it seems to be delicious......"

Xue Huai led the horses and walked on the side of the carriage, chattering and talking, his eyes full of excitement. This is the first time he has left Liangzhou since he was born, and he has seen so many strange things, it is strange if it is not new!

In the past few days, Yao Yun's smile has also overflowed the corners of her lips. Fortunately, there was also a good man on this trip, accompanied by Xue Huai, who was able to speak well, which added a lot of fun to Yao Yun's dull long-distance journey with big eyes and small eyes. However, she also promised the real mother to protect her thoroughly.

With Xiao Chengyu's permission, Yao Yun and Xue Huai rushed out of the official post and went to the lively street to forage for food with bags full of money.

Xiao Chengyu saw that the two of them went out without a head, turned around and ordered Xiao Er and Xiao Fourteen to follow closely behind the two of them. This place is not as good as Liangzhou, the fish and dragons are mixed, and there are many people, so it is better to be careful.

Xiao Er was a little embarrassed, and looked at him hesitantly: "General, but my subordinates don't worry about your ......"

"It's okay, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi will follow me." He waved his hand, signaling him to go with confidence.

It was already dark, and there was a stove burning in front of every shop on the street of the city. The firewood crackled and burned to the fullest, and the sparks splashed freely, like a hot spring gushing hot, baking people's hearts warm. I never thought that the main street of this small square city would be so lively, and there was no sign of curfew at all.

In front of the two shops not far away, there are two pieces of multicolored glass with a complete surface, which can also faintly reflect the shiny figure of the shadow in the dark night. This place is probably a glass shop.

Next to the shop was a cart stall, and someone was selling strings of things, which were the same things that Xue Huai saw in the hands of passers-by earlier today. He excitedly pulled Yao Yun forward.

"Hello Lang Jun, may I ask what this is?"

The middle-aged Lang Jun in front of the stall moved his long beard and spoke in a stiff Chinese dialect, and greeted the two of them warmly: "This is our unique fruit Pina Persia, which has a sweet taste, do you want to taste it?" ”

Xue Huai nodded expectantly, Yao Yun was also very curious, and quickly took out the Tongbao copper coin from the full money bag and handed it to him.

Yao Yun asked for five copies of such a strange-looking Pina at once.

It was rare for the middle-aged man to earn so much money at once, so he nodded even harder.

He took a small iron knife with a special hook and internal rotation, peeled the skin three times and two by five in the direction of the protruding barb, and soaked the yellow-orange-orange uneven fruit in the sucrose syrup water on the side, and finally inserted a small wooden skewer steadily. This large bunch of fruit is formed.

Yao Yun took a shallow bite, the flesh was thick and juicy, and the taste was sweet and refreshing, which was indeed very different from the fruits of the Central Plains.

"Sister Yao, this fruit is so sweet and delicious!" Xue Huai also tasted it with satisfaction.

Yao Yun led him to take a few more steps forward, and suddenly turned around with a smile, squinting his eyes towards the dense crowd, and his glossy jade lips deliberately made a few exaggerated lip shapes.

Xue Huai looked at her puzzled, and followed her gaze into the distance.

Xiao Er and Xiao Fourteen were stunned, and walked out of the crowd with their heads wilted, their faces blue and white for a while. Neither of them expected that they would be found out by a little lady who doesn't know martial arts and doesn't know internal strength!
