Chapter 9 Change the way to Xia Yi
The five of them rode on their horses, Yu Wenling kept looking at Yun Chuan and Yun Xi vigilantly, Yun Chuan noticed her slightly hostile eyes, and said with a smile: "What? You won't explain what happened last night? ”
Yu Wenling looked at this person, her eyebrows were blue and heroic, but her momentum was too good, which always made Yu Wenling feel that she was superior, and she was quite unhappy in her heart, so she pouted and said, "Explain what?" Didn't they all say that I was his sister? My sister came to my brother, can't I? ”
Yun Chuan looked back at the yurt of the post station and asked, "What I'm asking is, what is your relationship with Wang Chengyu?" Why did he suddenly get so close to you? ”
Although Yun Chuan knows the identities of these three people, as the saying goes, things gather people in groups, and it was really unappetizing to see Wang Chengyu and their good friendship early in the morning.
When Yang Qingyun heard this, he felt a little relieved, if they didn't pay attention, it would make him suspicious.
Seeing the situation, Yu Wenhan said lightly: "Brother Yunchuan, I know that you don't like Wang Chengyu, and we don't like him either. But Ling Er had a misunderstanding with Wang Chengyue last night, so as not to cause extraneous branches, we gave a lot of silver taels. He saw that we were bold and confused, so he made another face. ”
Yun Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, although Yu Wenhan's explanation couldn't be delved into, he couldn't find any major faults. Yun Chuan looked at Yu Wenhan and thought to himself that this person was indeed thoughtful, and his slightly melancholy eyes had a bottomless gloom, looking weak and weak, but there were needles in the cotton.
"I'm overthinking. I really don't like Wang Chengyu, I treat you as friends, it's better for everyone to be open and honest. Yun Chuan is a person who understands the general situation, waved his hand and said, "It's not too early, let's go on the road." ”
The five of them hurried up, planning to rush to the Yue tribe before noon tomorrow, but they never expected that Yuwen Ling would have to take a break when he ran dozens of miles, either to drink water or to feel uncomfortable, and the other four were very distressed.
"Brother Qingxuan, I'm really uncomfortable, I've never ridden such a fast horse, my whole stomach is going to pop up!" Yuwen Ling said coquettishly.
Yang Qingyun had no choice but to adhere to his usual style and remain silent.
Yun Chuan had long been impatient, and pretended to be coquettish in Yuwen Ling's tone: "Brother Qingxuan, why don't you stay and accompany Sister Ling, the three of us will hurry first, and you will take your time." ”
Yang Qingyun glanced at Yun Chuan sharply, stepped on the horse and said coldly, "Have you rested?" Let's hurry. ”
Yuwen Ling glared at Yun Chuan and said, "My stomach is really uncomfortable, I don't know if I have eaten my stomach badly in this wild place, or if I haven't rested well after a bumpy ride, and I can't get used to riding this horse at all." ”
"Our wild land is indeed not a place for the eldest lady!" Yun Chuan said coldly.
"My little sister is young and ignorant, please forgive me." Yu Wenhan stopped Yu Wenling who was not convinced, and said: "Ling'er, we have delayed a lot of time this morning, and it is not good for your health to rush like this, why don't you let Qingyun send you back to the post station to rest first, and you don't have to follow us all the way." ”
"Whose sister is it? With so many brothers guarding, it's really a collection of thousands of pets. Yun Chuan's disdainful eyes swept towards the two men opposite.
When Yu Wenling heard that he was going to be sent back again, he was so anxious that tears were about to fall: "I knew that you didn't want to take me with you at all, you didn't treat me as a sister at all, there is only one sister in your heart!" ”
Who is that person? Is it yourself? Yun Xi looked at Yu Wenling's temperament and really didn't change at all, and he wanted to be pampered and protected, but Yang Qingyun and Yu Wenhan were not such people.
"Miss Ling, you stretch out your hand, I'll give you a pulse." Yun Xi walked over slowly and stretched out his hand.
"Why should I let you take the pulse?" Yu Wenling looked at Yun Xi, his eyes full of vigilance. This person, also named Xi, is dressed in men's clothes, but his eyebrows are beautiful, his skin is like cream, and he is more charming than a woman.
"Yun Xi, don't waste your efforts, she is the legendary daughter's disease, she can't bear the hardships and can't stand the tiredness." Yun Chuan said impatiently.
At this time, Yu Wenling was secretly using a stone to mark the trunk behind him. When everything was ready, he clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Let's go, I'm rested!" Then he got on his horse and said to the four people who were about to collapse: "Let's go, what are you waiting for?" ”
"Sister Ling, if she does this again, we will part ways!" After Yun Chuan finished speaking, he waved his horsewhip and immediately rushed to the front.
Sure enough, in less than an hour, Yu Wenling shouted that he was uncomfortable again, and dismounted and found a stone to sit down on the edge of a birch forest, looking weak. At this moment, Yun Chuan was already furious, and said angrily: "Yun Xi, let's go." ”
"You can go, just draw us the route." Yu Wenling raised his eyebrows and said.
"Miss, at your rate, the Marble Conference would have ended a long time ago, what are you still running for?" Yun Chuan sneered.
"My two brothers are going, so of course I'll go with them!" Yuwen Ling said angrily.
"Within three days after the end of the Marble Stone Conference, if there is no invitation from the tribal leader, you Central Plains people will not be able to stay in the desert tribe, you won't know this, right?" Yun Chuan showed no weakness.
"You're not a tribal leader, you can't control this!!" Yuwen Ling didn't care.
"Of course I won't worry about this, someone will take care of you when the time comes!" Yun Chuan shrugged his shoulders after speaking, and smiled at Yu Wen Ling, so angry that Yu Wen Ling widened his eyes.
"Ling'er, I didn't say anything good yesterday, I didn't say much, I didn't say much, why didn't I forget it all today." Yu Wenhan helplessly pulled Yu Wenling over and whispered a reproach.
"But I'm really uncomfortable, you know me, I'm weak, and I'm so big, how can I travel so far?" Yu Wenling pouted unconvinced.
"And how long are you going to rest?" Yu Wenhan was very helpless, "The terrain of the desert is complicated, this time thanks to Yun Chuan and Yun Xi leading the way, and they have already accommodated you all the way, you can't be so unreasonable." ”
"Just for a moment." Yu Wenling blinked his eyes and sold pity.
Yu Wenhan looked at Yun Chuan apologetically, and Yun Chuan turned around and didn't want to pay attention. Seeing this, Yun Xi pulled Yun Chuan aside and comforted: "Just look at my face, bear with me." She's my sister too, after all. ”
Yun Chuan said: "It's just for your sake that I've endured it all the way to now." This sister of yours is really a little pampered and arrogant, and she is unreasonable. ”
"She is indeed not very good since she was a child, she has always been very thin, and she is not good at riding horses, and her body can't bear it when she travels long distances." Yun Xi explained.
"You see that although she is thin, her face is ruddy, and she looks weak!" Yun Chuan said helplessly, "The most important thing is that according to this way, we will be able to participate in the Marble Conference." Seriously, they don't want to join in the fun, let's hurry up, don't delay everyone. ”
Yun Xi was a little embarrassed, thought about it and discussed: "Yun Chuan, you said that we turned the road to Xia Yi in the northwest, and it will take about two hours to get there. Early tomorrow morning, find a carriage in Xia Yi to send them to Yueshi, what do you think? ”
"You mean to ask the little prince of Sheng Ze to provide a carriage to take us there?" Yun Chuan pondered Yun Xi's proposal.
"It's really a bit difficult for a strong man, after all, he is the prince of Xia Yi, let him help the Shu Dynasty... Yun Xi explained embarrassedly.
"I think your proposal is very good. Yun Xi, you are still smart! In this way, first, we can reach Xia Yi in two hours, and we can rest today; Second, with Sheng Ze's friendship with us, not to mention a carriage, it doesn't matter how many there are; Third, the most important thing is that he has a wide range of paths, and maybe he can get an invitation plaque for the Marble Conference. ”
"But between Xia Yi and the Shu Dynasty... Yun Xi thought about it carefully, although this proposal solved the problem of time, but Xia Yi and the Shu Dynasty had conflicts from time to time, if the identities of these three relatives were discovered, would it cause them unnecessary trouble.
"Don't worry, Xia Yi's Hada Khan must have gone to the Yunshi Conference, and the conflict between Xia Yi and the Shu Dynasty is nothing more than the border boundaries and money, and it has nothing to do with them at all. And Sheng Ze has never asked about political affairs, he has many friends who are from the Central Plains, and with me here, Sheng Ze will definitely be willing to help. Yun Chuan patted Yun Xi's shoulder and said.
"Yun Chuan, thank you, although you are worried about Ling'er, you are still thinking about her." Yun Xi looked at Yun Chuan gratefully and nodded again and again. She knew that the relationship between Yunchuan and Shengze Xiaowang was not ordinary, and in the words of the Central Plains, it was "childhood sweethearts" and "friends of Jinlan".
"Don't thank me, she's going to make me anxious again, and I'll hit her heart! Do you believe it or not? Yun Chuan raised his hand and pretended.
Yun Xi smiled and nodded, "Believe!" I believe everything you say! ”
After discussing, Yun Xi stepped forward and said, "We are now rushing to the post station of the tribe in front, it is too late according to the original time, and we are also worried that Miss Ling's body will not be able to bear it, so we are ready to change the route." The northwest is Xia Yi, we have been about two hours, we have a little friendship with Xia Yi's little prince, we can rest in their tribe for one night tonight, and tomorrow morning, ask him to find a carriage to send us to Yueshi. First, it also saves Miss Ling from the fatigue of riding a horse, and second, we can go to the Yue tribe in a day and a half. I don't know what your intentions are? ”
Yu Wenling was in a good mood when he heard that he could rest in two hours, and he suddenly came to his senses, and he also had a good impression of Yun Xi, and said happily: "Okay, good, I have never ridden such a fast horse, and my body is about to fall apart, so this arrangement is the best." ”
"But this time it was clearly stated that the people of the Central Plains were not allowed to enter the territory of the Xiayi ethnic group." Yang Qingyun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stepped forward and said.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it." Yun Xi patiently explained.
Yu Wenling on the side seemed to understand something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Xia Yi has always been at odds with Da Xun, so there will be no danger for us to go." ”
"I also know the contradiction between the Central Plains and Xia Yi, but isn't the mineral trade between Xia Yi and the Central Plains also doing very well? However, no matter what good or bad things he does, eight poles can't hit us. Anyway, I will definitely go to the Marble Conference, and there are two roads in front of us, the first is according to the original route, some people follow me first, of course, you can not go; The second is to pass through Xiayi. I see, you can make up your mind. Yun Chuan said coldly.
Yu Wenling listened to Yun Chuan's suggestion that he might be left behind again, so he quickly tightened Yang Qingyun's sleeves, Yun Xun was worried that they would be embarrassed, and then explained: "Yun Chuan is the knife mouth tofu heart. We even said that we would take you to the Marble Conference, and the gentleman promised a thousand gold. The little prince of Shengze is a good and close person, with him, maybe he can provide us with an invitation plaque. ”
When Yu Wenling heard that she was looking for the invitation plaque, she thought that she clearly saw Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyun having plaques that day, it turned out that these two eldest brothers and the two Tusang people in front of them were not very close friends, and they were not very close to each other, and suddenly a sense of superiority came from their hearts, and the corners of their mouths were also filled with a smug smile, and they tugged Yang Qingyun's sleeve and said: "Anyway, where my brother goes, I will follow him, and I am not afraid of going anywhere." ”
"Although a gentleman promises a thousand gold, he can't be strong. You want a route, and I can draw it for you. But the desert terrain is special, and if you get lost in the end, don't blame me. Yun Chuan looked at them hesitating and said with annoyance.
"Okay, then there are two Lao to lead the way to Xiayi, we are grateful." Yu Wenhan thought for a moment and said.
Yang Qingyun pulled out the sleeve of his coat that was dragged by Yu Wenling, took the horse and handed it to Yu Wenhan, Yu Wenling hurriedly chased after him and said: "Brother Qingxuan, I am uncomfortable and can't ride a horse alone, can you take me for a ride?" ”
Yang Qingyun replied coldly: "My horse is no longer too tired to carry the two of them. ”
"Ling'er, you can ride slower, we don't have to rush so much now." Yu Wenhan said helplessly.
Yu Wenling didn't know how to get interested: "Then you can ride my horse, just like last time we went hunting, didn't you bring me back when I was injured?" ”
Hearing Yu Wenling's words, it was like the picture reappearing in Yun Xi's mind, and he felt a little stinging in his heart. Yun Chuan saw that this "delicate" sister was about to have an incident again, and said impatiently to Yang Qingyun: "Isn't it normal for my brother to take my sister?" I said, Brother Qingyuan, don't waste your time on this, okay? ”
"What does it have to do with you whether my brother takes me or not?" Yu Wenling heard that Yun Chuan was deliberately mocking.
"Hey, you've wasted my day, do you think it matters?" Yun Chuan shot back.
"I didn't let you two ... Yu Wenling said unceremoniously.
"Come on." Yang Qingyun forcibly suppressed his anger and stretched out his hand to Yu Wenling.
Yu Wenling only felt that he had achieved his goal, and he didn't want to compete with Yun Chuan to win or lose, so he stretched out his hand and was pulled by Yang Qingyun and sat in front. "Tighten the reins and don't speak." Yang Qingyun said.
"Got it, Brother Qingyun." Yu Wenling responded crisply.
"If you said you would ride the same horse, you wouldn't have wasted so much time!" Yun Chuan muttered angrily.
Yun Xi thought that she used to sit in front of Yang Qingyun's horse, and it turned out that this position had already changed hands. With a sad heart, he led Yu Wenling's horse and prepared to hit the road.
"I'll do it." Yu Wenhan took the reins from Yun Xi's hand and said apologetically.
On the way, although Yang Qingling deliberately hunched his body and kept a distance from Yu Wenling, Yu Wenling thought that he could be so close to Yang Qingyun and gallop in the wind with the same horse, and his heart was also very sweet. This used to be a treatment that only Sister Xi had!
But after all, she couldn't bear it, and when the horse speed was not so fast, Yu Wenling whispered: "Brother Qingxuan, what is the origin of those two Tusan, I look weird." We follow two unknown people like this, what if something happens? ”
Yang Qingyun carefully analyzed that the encounter with these two people was completely coincidental. Now changing the route to go to Xiayi is also a completely unexpected and helpless move. Besides, this time in the desert, it is also a good thing to be able to go to a few more ethnic groups, I believe that Yu Wenhan thinks the same as him.
"They don't know who we are, so there's no need to harm us." Yang Qingyun replied.
"You see, I was very unwell today, and I had rested so many times in the middle, and they not only accompanied me all the way, but also said that they were looking for some carriage to take us off. Why be so attentive when you meet in the water? Yu Wenling was extremely frightened after thinking about it, and felt that he had reasoned very reasonably.
"If you're afraid, don't say anything when you get to Xia Yi for a while." Yang Qingyun replied lightly, and after speaking, he waved his whip, speeding up and not wanting to say more.
Almost two hours later, the five of them arrived at Xiayi. Xiayi is the smallest nomadic ethnic group among the four major ethnic groups in the northern desert, located in the northwest, adjacent to Tusang in the east, bounded by Xuelong Mountain, and bordered by Huangbei, a subsidiary ethnic group of Dahuan, in the south. Although Xia Yi's territory is small, it has rich mines and has business contacts with Da Shu and other ethnic groups, but it often has conflicts with Huang Bei, which makes Da Wei also have a headache.
Yun Chuan and Yun Xi took the three of them to the gate of the big tribe, Yun Chuan dismounted and said, "Yun Xi, you take them here later, I will come out to pick you up later." ”
Yun Xi understood Yun Chuan's intentions, took Yun Chuan's horse, nodded and said, "Well, this is me, you can go." ”
Yun Chuan walked up to the guard and whispered, and the guard immediately led her towards a large yurt in the center.
