Chapter 3: The Smell of Danger by the Creek
After dozens of days of long-distance travel, they finally came to the Mobei Royal Court. It is an oasis in the Gobi, and the palace is tall and majestic, made of huge white stones that glitter in the sun. With the palace as the center, the buildings are lined up one after another, and the wide street is lined with shops and pedestrians dressed in various costumes, in addition to the Mobei and Central Plains, as well as some Caucasian and Central Asians from the far west. Although it is not as prosperous as the big cities of the Central Plains, it has a unique exotic style.
Jiang Xinyue and the Jiang family's guards came to the royal court for the first time, and they couldn't help but be fascinated, walking slowly along the street, strolling.
Alain and his son took them to the best inn in the city, and then said goodbye to them and went home. Alan reluctantly made an agreement with Jiang Dong that during their time in Mobei, they would learn martial arts from him.
Jiang Xinyue and his entourage carefully inspected Wang Ting's business, and they contacted several large commercial houses to discuss cooperation matters, and then bought some leather goods and spices, ready to load them and return.
They were loading goods outside a trading house, when suddenly a team of men and horses galloped forward, pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, and a dark sweaty BMW galloped forward, and the rider on horseback was dressed in a black robe, and one person and one rode by like lightning.
"Who is this?" Jiang Xinyue asked curiously.
The owner of the firm looked at the people and horses in the distance, and said proudly: "This is our Dahan prince of Mobei, our prince, but he is both civil and military, and he is strategic. ”
"I see. However, isn't this galloping on the street afraid of hurting people? Jiang Xinyue was a little dissatisfied.
"Hey, this little brother, our Mobei is not as good as your Central Plains, who doesn't know how to ride a horse? If you can't even hide from the horses, then you don't have to beg for a living on the grassland. The owner of the firm was unimpressed.
"That's right." Jiang Xinyue said with a smile.
"Miss, our goods are all loaded, when will we leave?" Jiang Dong stepped forward and asked.
"It's getting late today, everyone have a good rest and leave early tomorrow morning." Jiang Xinyue looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Tonight, let's go eat the most famous roasted whole sheep in Mobei Royal Court!" ”
"Thank you, Miss!" The crowd cheered.
"Miss, I want to take Alain with me, okay?" Jiang Dong asked.
"Of course! It would be better if he was willing to go to the Central Plains with us! This kid is good, I like him a lot! Jiang Xinyue said with a smile.
These days, Alan came to Jiang Dong when he was free, not only to learn kung fu from him, but also to help with chores in the Jiang family's caravan, and he was diligent and clever. Everyone has long regarded Alain as their own.
Around the bright bonfire, the fat mutton swirled around the fire, giving off a tempting aroma, and everyone sat around, laughing, drinking wine, and eating meat. drank to the fullest, and danced with the Mobei people's flute.
Jiang Xinyue looked at the scene in front of her with a smile, and her mood was also very relaxed. She stood up and walked out.
Outside was a small river, the water glowing silver in the moonlight. Attracted to her, she gradually moved away from the crowd and walked towards the river.
She remembered the night in Qingzhou, she and Xiao Qiye came out of the brocade building, under the cold moonlight, along the way, the two were happy, tender and sweet, at this time, he was already the son of the world, has he married a lady? And she wandered alone in the cold wind of the cold night in Mobei. She looked up, looked at the moon, and smiled softly.
Suddenly, a figure flashed in front of him, and he hurried past. Jiang Xinyue felt a hint of danger, and hurriedly flashed behind a tree, the man seemed to be in a hurry and didn't notice her.
She did not dare to move for a moment, but the man ran to the shore and whistled sharply, and a tall figure stood on the bank of the river.
The person who came knelt down on one knee and said something hurriedly, they spoke Mobei dialect, and the speed of speech was fast, Jiang Xinyue couldn't understand it, she was in a bit of a dilemma now. She hid behind a tree, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
"Miss, where are you, Miss?" Jiang Dong's voice came from afar, and she was in a hurry, only to see that the two people in front of her also stopped talking and raised their heads to look over here.
Jiang Xinyue was so anxious that her palms were sweating, she could only silently say in her heart that Jiang Dong must not come! She didn't know who these two men were, but she felt in danger.
When she turned her head again, the person who happened to be standing was also looking at her, and the cold light in those eyes in the dark night was shining, and she was suffocating for breath! My heart seemed to be frozen by the cold light. In an instant, the two men had disappeared into the night.
"Jiang Dong, I'm here." Jiang Xinyue answered and walked out.
