When Yan Xi heard Gu Shengchao talk about the old mansion in Yunshang City, the capital of Xilang Kingdom, he said with endless sadness: "That is my grandfather's house, and my mother is from Xilan Country." ”

During this time, most of the things Gu Shengchao told about what he experienced, and Wan Yanxi never said anything about her.

Knowing that she was alert and sensitive, her past experiences would definitely be unbearable, so Gu Shengchao never took the initiative to ask, so as not to touch the fragile side of her heart.

At this moment, she took the initiative to mention it, Gu Shengchao hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully: "Old Uncle Lu was supposed to be a disciple of the Dark Moon Hall of the Dawu Dynasty, why did he appear in Beihu, and finally arrived in the Xileng Kingdom, is it convenient for Miss Wanyan to talk about it?" ”

He was afraid that the other party would pop out a sentence of "inconvenient".

After a while, Wan Yanxi controlled his emotions and said with a long breath: "Uncle Lu is willing to entrust you with things, I believe in Uncle Lu's vision, and it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”

The head sheep led the sheep to move slowly, and they followed the sheep to change pastures.

Wan Yanxi sensed that the sheep had stopped, and then said: "My father was originally a big household in Beihuzuo, managing vast pastures and tens of thousands of people, when I was a child, one year in the winter when the weather was cold, the shepherd found that there was a person lying in the snow, and it seemed that there was still breath when he was about to freeze, so he told my father. ”

"My father ordered him to be carried to a warm tent, and when he woke up, my father was so bold that he learned that he was helpless, so he let him stay behind to shepherd the sheep."

So that's the case, Gu Shengchao recalled the old mansion in Yunshang City, Xileng, and the conversation between Lu Wanshan and Bian Bald that night, and it can be roughly guessed that Lu Wanshan stole the Fengwu Sword, and then fled to Beihu to seek refuge.

"The person you saved is Uncle Lu, right?" Gu Shengchao asked.

nodded, and Yan Xi said, "It's his old man." ”

"I was young at the time, I couldn't see things and often fell by myself, it was Uncle Lu who secretly taught me the inner strength of the mind, so that I could perceive everything in the world. Later, my father found out, and when he saw that he didn't mean anything bad and was really good for me, he stayed by his side and concentrated on teaching me kung fu, as well as what you Central Plains people said. ”

"One year, I was playing alone on the grass, and a person from the Central Plains wanted to arrest me, I scared him with a flying knife, but when the man saw the scimitar in my hand, he was even more angry and wanted to kill me, but fortunately, Uncle Lu came in time to beat the man away."

If so, there is no doubt that this person is a bald man.

Gu Shengchao took over and said, "Is this person called Bian Bald?" ”

Wan Yanxi tried to recall: "It seems that I was young and frightened at the time, and I vaguely remember what Uncle Lu called him bald." ”

"Later, when I grew up, one day my father asked my mother to pack up her things, saying that he asked Uncle Lu to take my mother and me to live in Xilang for a while. My mother didn't agree, she had to stay with him, my father had no choice, so she asked Uncle Lu to go to Xileng to take care of the old house first, and my father said that he would take us over. ”

Seeing that Yan Xi stopped speaking and became silent, Gu Shengchao speculated that something might have happened to her family, and asked tentatively, "What happened later?" ”

Silent, Wan Yanxi was struggling in her heart, she didn't react when a sheep ran away, Gu Shengchao hurried over to drive the lone sheep back.

After a long time, Wan Yanxi said faintly: "Beihu Lao Shan died of illness, the war between the princes, and when Xin Shan Yu ascended the throne, my father was framed for collaborating with the enemy and treason and beheaded my mother together." ”

Behind her few words, there are many lives in misery.

The territory of each dynasty is limited, and the old and new forces change, and the newcomers must step on the blood and flesh of their predecessors in order to get their own share.

Wan Yanxi continued: "They originally wanted to kill me, but Xinshan Yu amnesty the world, saying that I was a blind man who couldn't make waves, so they ordered someone to exile me to a barren pasture, gave me more than 20 sheep, and left me to fend for myself. ”

"I thought I would spend the rest of my life like this, but someone still wouldn't let me go and sent two people to kill me. I killed them and traveled all the way, and finally came here to survive. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Shengchao discussed: "The conditions here are difficult, why don't I take you to live in the old mansion left by your grandfather in the West Cold Kingdom." I have made a few friends, they lived there after Uncle Lu died, you can go to collect rent openly, you can also go to the restaurant they run to help, there is food and drink is a hundred times better than here. ”

Hesitating, Wan Yanxi couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Gu Shengchao said softly: "Anyway, I have nothing to do for the time being, I will live here and learn the Beihu language with you first." You said that some people still won't let you go, as the saying goes, 'if you can escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime', and since they have a plan, they will still find them one day, right? ”

Realizing Wan Yanxi's arrogance, Gu Shengchao was not in a hurry to get an answer, so he helped her herd the sheep together.

In their spare time, the two practiced swords, although Wan Yanxi couldn't see it, but her super perception promoted a new understanding of swordsmanship, and Feng Wu's swordsmanship was the same as the swordsmanship she practiced, and it was even more handy, and it was impossible for ordinary people to escape from her sword.

After Gu Shengchao basically mastered the Beihu language, he deliberately chatted with her in Beihu dialect every day, and daily communication was no longer hindered.

Unconsciously, having stayed here for half a month, Gu Shengchao was worried about the progress of the mission in Beihu to discuss the progress of trade, and planned to leave here to find the location of the royal court and meet with the people of the mission.

When he woke up in the morning, he lit a fire and roasted the pheasants he had caught last night.

There are many mushrooms on the mountain, so take out the internal organs of the pheasant and put the mushrooms in the belly and grill them together, which has a unique taste.

With Gu Shengchao's help, Wan Yanxi can eat fresh cooked food every day, and he is also cheerful, and his smile is obviously more than when he first met.

The two chatted while eating, Gu Shengchao told him his intention to leave, Wan Yanxi was a little sullen, and after a while, she said decisively: "I'll leave with you, can you send me to Xilan Kingdom, my grandfather's old mansion?" ”

"Yes, I will." Gu Shengchao assured.

"What do you need?" Wan Yanxi waited for Gu Shengchao's conditions.

Knowing that she has to be strong, if it is out of kindness, it will make her uneasy, thinking that she is pitying her, for fear of rejection.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shengchao came up with a white lie and said, "Uncle Lu has already been paid. ”

"What?" Wan Yanxi was puzzled.

Gu Shengchao explained: "When I first arrived in Yunshang City, Xilang Kingdom, I was helpless, but it was Uncle Lu who took me in and gave me a sheltered place to eat and live there for free, and I can repay this kindness now." ”

This reasonable answer made Wan Yanxi impeccable, she nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in you, and I believe that Uncle Lu will not be blind, when will we leave?" ”

Looking at the sheep in the cave, Gu Shengchao was puzzled: "These sheep have been with you for many years, you can't just throw them away." ”

"I'll go with them, and I'll meet a suitable shepherd on the way, and I'll send them out and let them keep them, and I'll be able to ride them if I change into horses by the way, so hurry up."

It turned out that she had a plan.

The two of them were full of food and drink, and they were about to set off, and Gu Shengchao looked at this place with some reluctance.

Several caves in the depths of the cave have been discovered in their spare time, empty, and there is no writing left on the walls, so it is impossible to determine the time and motive of the excavation.

There was nothing of value, so they packed up the hanging jerky and drove the flock, and then the two set off.

It is inconvenient to drive the sheep to walk, so they can stop and go, so that they are full all the way and cannot starve.

BMW Chasing Wind is also familiar with Gu Shengchao, running freely on the grassland, always leaving the left and right.

After walking for three days, the two finally came across a herdsman.

After Yan Xi explained the reason, he only needed to exchange one horse and two saddles for the other party.

Of course, the shepherd was happy, and when he saw that her robe was shabby, he gave her new clothes to change into, and by the way, he also gave Gu Shengchao a dress that shepherds often wear, so that it was more convenient to travel on the grassland.

The hostess was hospitable and packed fried rice, cheese and jerky before leaving, lest they go hungry on the way.

Asking for a good direction, it turned out that I was going the wrong way, and it was farther away from the royal court.

Chasing the wind with a saddle, Gu Shengchao is naturally much more comfortable to ride.

The two of them rode forward, and Wan Yanxi was not riding a thousand miles of horses, and from time to time he needed to stop to rest and eat grass to recover his strength.

It took seven days to inquire about the direction of the shepherds along the way, and finally came to the royal court.

The weather was getting colder, and Shan Yu led his ministers back to the winter camp.

In order to resist the bitter cold winds, the royal city was surrounded by large and strong walls of earth-rammed walls. From afar, it is solemn and solemn.

When the two approached, a camp outside the city was particularly eye-catching, especially the tent in the middle of the tent, which was very familiar.

Around the camp, there is also a ring of obstacles formed by the end of the vehicle.

Gu Shengchao saw Jingjie and excitedly told Wan Yanxi: "The front is the station of our mission, I didn't expect them to be there, I'm afraid that they will return early after completing the mission, and we won't be able to catch up with them." ”

There was a gap in the middle of the barrier, and he rode forward, and someone stopped him with a gun.

"Who are you, you are not allowed to enter it casually." The guards on the handle were all Beihu people, preventing Gu Shengchao from entering.

Fortunately, Gu Shengchao knew some Beihu language, otherwise he wouldn't understand what they were saying.

"I, I'll come and ask for the account." He wore the robes of the Beihu people, and when he spoke their words, no one doubted.

"Not now, go back quickly." The guards drove him away.

Gu Shengchao pretended to be aggrieved: "How can you talk to outsiders, what benefits did they give you?" ”

"You don't know what to do, it's an envoy from the Dawu Dynasty, let's just entertain them, the Aries King just taunted them a few words, and they were assassinated at night, and many people saw the assassins flee back to their camp. Shan Yu ordered them to call out the murderer, but they even covered up and refused to hand them over, so they had to trap them inside. ”

The guard said indignantly: "Shan Yu thinks that they are envoys, and they don't want to make a big move, but I want to see how long they can hold out." ”

"I see, farewell." Gu Shengchao withdrew with his hand.

The two entered the city and found an inn to stay in.

The inn was basically full, and there was only one room left, but fortunately, Wan Yanxi did not shy away from it, Gu Shengchao lied that he was a brother and sister, so he stayed.

In the middle of the night, Gu Shengchao and Wan Yanxi explained the situation and quietly went out of the city alone.

The obstacle outside the camp of the Dawu Dynasty mission was only a symbolic defense, and Gu Shengchao went around to a secluded place and easily climbed over it, slipping through it in the dark.

"Who?"

He had just come to the tent where he had been erected, when a sword stabbed him from behind.
