And then later.

Then there is the fifth day of the first month of the third year of Jing'an, and the snowy night is deep and dark, and there is no daylight.

At that time, as the eldest princess of Tianchen, the "thousand-year-old sword immortal" Fu Jingci escaped death, betrayed his relatives, and lived in the rivers and lakes, and never asked about the past.

Speaking of which, Xie Zhao's original vision in his heart was that the grand wish of allowing the women of Nanchao Tianchen to be able to enter the academy as well as men was shelved like this.

However, even if the incident in Jing'an for three years did not happen in the future, if she mentioned it to Jing Yan, she was afraid that Jing Yan would be angry and would not allow it.

In the ancient rites of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty, it was appalling that women were admitted to the government in the imperial examination.

Jing Yan, a child, has great ambitions, but unfortunately his ideas are still taught too conservative by the old ladies.

Xie Zhaofu wanted to connect, but even his father Emperor Wei and his younger brother Jing Yan still didn't ask if she was tired or bitter. But now that she heard these words from Ling He, who had known her for less than two years, she couldn't help but have some mixed feelings in her heart.

She paused, lowered her starry eyebrows, and quietly looked at her feet.

Only then did she realize that her boots were a little dirty.

Xie Zhao smiled.

"It's hard, to be honest, it's hard."

It's just that she was too busy to care about the hard work before, but now she can't work hard anymore.

Ling He said lightly: "Do you know? Sometimes when I look at you, I feel like you are a string that is both loose and tight. ”

Xie Zhao raised his head, his long eyelashes blinking.

She has a pair of fox eyes, and the eyes are large, but the curvature of the eyes is slightly raised.

This eye contour, which is between fox eyes and apricot eyes, makes her quite innocent when she blinks.

"Nonsense, where is the tension?"

Ling Or shook his head slowly.

"That's what I'm wondering, why do you give me this inexplicable illusion under your idle and idle appearance."

However, apart from him, it seems that others did not notice Xie Zhao's abnormality.

His master, Ling Jackdaw, once said that although he was silent, his mind was too sharp and thoughtful. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

So, is it really just his delusion?

Xie Zhao tilted his head to look at him and smiled very lightly.

She didn't deny it, she didn't affirm it, she just shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and then said with a smile:

"Ling Or, thanks to you not cultivating the 'Affectionate Dao'. If you specialize in the 'sentient path' like Bo Xu, you are afraid that everything in this world will cause you to worry about it. ”

Ling or slightly paused.

She is right, with his temperament, if he really cultivates the "Affectionate Dao", he is afraid that if he thinks about it too much, he will inevitably follow the back path of the former Hulu Holy Envoy Molaya in the future.

Xie Zhao finished speaking, turned his head and continued to look at the night sky.

The night in the desert of Western Xinjiang is very quiet, and if there is no storm and dust, there is a kind of beauty that is exceptionally empty and deep.

Beauty is beautiful, but it is inevitably too empty and desolate.

The silver moon in the sky was extremely bright, but it was not round.

If you want to observe the strange scenery of the sunset in the desert during this solar term, Ling or I am afraid that I will be disappointed.

But fortunately, although there are not many stars in the sky, only a few scattered, but they are exceptionally clear and bright under the dark sky.

Xie Zhao smiled lightly, looked at it quietly for a moment, and only after a moment did he turn his head and say with a smile:

"It seems that we are going to come here or not, and tomorrow should be a good day. At least there is a high probability that there will be no storms and dust during the day, and you can take advantage of the light to come out for a while. ”

Ling He didn't ask her how she knew, and never doubted her judgment.

He just knew what he meant, frowned and asked, "There is a high probability that there will be no storm during the day, so you mean there will be a storm tomorrow night?" ”

Xie Zhao bowed his head lightly and said, "Smart, it's almost inseparable." It would be best if we could find a sheltered sand wall to house the horses before sunset tomorrow; If not."

Ling Or looked up at her.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and he instantly understood what she meant, so he nodded lightly and said:

"I understand that if I can't find a place to put them, then let them flee northeast."

Xie Zhao sighed and said, "Yes, after all, we are all martial arts people, and we have some kung fu body, if we take care of each other in the storm, there will always be no fatal danger, not to mention that there are two masters, you and Bo Xuan."

- But the horses are not good, they are too big, once they are buried by the wind and sand, it is difficult to get up and survive, and they are not sure where to run when they are frightened, not to mention that tomorrow we will go to the storm zone in the center of the desert in the western frontier. ”

Ling or nodded.

"The northeast of the desert is the edge of the western Xinjiang desert, and the wind and sand storms will be much weaker relatively speaking.

If we release the horses tomorrow evening before the storm comes, they should be able to get away. Only, won't they get lost in the desert? ”

Xie Zhao chuckled, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, the old horse knows the way, if it weren't for the frightened running around, these horses would know the way better than people."

Moreover, Yuwenxin also said that the horses of this kind he sent us were extremely intelligent, and he would know the way back to the Arro grassland. ”

Ling He let out a soft "um" and said, "That's good." ”

It's just that he thought about it and felt that something was wrong.

"But if there are no horses on the road after that, will it be too difficult to walk the day after tomorrow?"

Although Ling He didn't say who would have trouble walking on foot, in fact, he was only worried about Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng.

Because one of them and Bo Xuan are in the Saint King Xuan Realm and the other is in the Mahayana Heavenly Realm, they have deep internal strength and relatively strong energy and physical strength, so they will naturally not be afraid to carry water bladders and dry food on their backs.

However, Han Changsheng and Xie Zhaoxing may not be.

The climate in the desert of western Xinjiang is unusually dry, and when the sun is full at noon, the heads of people who are scorching are dizzy.

Walking is extremely difficult, if people's internal strength is not pure enough, it is inevitable that the energy will be exhausted later, and the more you walk, the more tired you will become, and even dehydration.

Xie Zhao smiled after hearing this, she knew what Ling Or was worried about.

So she comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay, when we walk and start the day after tomorrow, it shouldn't be far from the edge of the desert, and we will hike for two more days at most."

It's only been two days, so you shouldn't treat me and Han Changsheng as pampered young masters, right? Don't forget, let's go all the way from Wei County to Ruyang City, and we are not so poor that we can walk there by legs. ”

Ling He glanced at her faintly.

That being said, Xie Zhaoke at that time was far tougher than she is now, how could she talk the same way?

Xie Zhao looked at his expression and added with a smile: "By the way, don't you still have Lu Huan Dan in your baggage?"

It's a big deal that if you can't walk at that time, Han Changsheng and I will take one pill each.

That thing also has the effect of increasing physical strength and internal strength, but it's just that it's too violent to eat it. Don't waste it if it's not necessary, you keep it and take it to nourish your internal strength so that it's better to break through the realm. ”

Ling He said lightly: "As long as it is effective, it is not a waste for anyone to eat." ”

What's more.

Those precious and abnormal "Lu Huandan" are her things.

However, Ling Or thought about it, the desert of Western Xinjiang was only hundreds of miles, and they rode a horse two days ago to grab a lot of distance, and it should not be too much to go in the future.

So, he stopped dwelling and spontaneously changed the topic.

"Are you optimistic about the direction of tomorrow's travel?"

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile, and raised his head triumphantly: "Ang, that's not a piece of cake, it's a piece of cake!" ”

Ling He smiled in his eyes and said lightly: "Huh." ”

Xie Zhao laughed, raised his eyebrows, and smiled brightly and wantonly.

"You must know that the young man Qingyunzhi is not allowed to be the first class in the world - people are not reckless teenagers!

But it's a pity that I'm too young to be crazy now, and I can be called a model of prudent duty and honesty among the four realms of the world! ”

As he spoke, Xie Zhao seemed to be happy with himself, looked around happily, and then said: "Don't say it, the infinite artistic conception of this Western Desert can't be seen elsewhere." ”

Ling He looked at her helplessly, and he didn't know how she could always enjoy herself and find fun all day long.

He chuckled under his breath and said, "Haven't you been here before?" ”

Xie Zhao snorted and said: "That was many years ago, at that time, I was thinking about things, and I came and went in a hurry, where can I calm down and enjoy the lonely scenery of the desert." ”

She suddenly noticed a half-hidden, but lush camel thorn on the edge of the sand cliff.

There are clouds in ancient books, grass and trees in the sand, green hair on the branches, juice and honey in the hair, and the Hu people are called "to Boro", also known as "camel thorns".

This is the most popular plant in the desert for horses and camels.

In fact, it's not that they like to eat, but once they enter the desert, they don't have fresh rations to eat.

Camel thorns are extremely vigorous, and they can survive very well even in the desert.

Xie Zhao smiled and asked:

"That's why you brought the horses to eat this?"

Ling Or looked at her finger and replied with a smile:

"It's not this one, it's the camel thorns on the other side of the sand wall. Bo Xuan said that this thing could be eaten, so we took the horses to eat it. Han Changsheng was curious, and he also picked one to taste, but he pricked himself with a mouthful of blood. ”

Xie Zhao shook his head with a smile when he heard this.

"It's a nerd, curiosity kills him sooner or later, and he dares to put anything in his mouth."

The thorns of the camels are hard, and the camels and horses are fine to eat.

However, if you eat it directly without any treatment, won't you have to be pierced like Han Changsheng The skin and flesh in your mouth will be pierced?

After Xie Zhao ruthlessly laughed at Han Changsheng, who had already met Duke Zhou at this time, he took the lead in turning around and walking towards the way he came, and patted Ling He on the shoulder when he passed by.

"Ling Shaoxia, there are more opportunities to make the wind and the moon in the future, go back to sleep first, there will be a 'tough battle' to fight tomorrow."

Ling He smiled faintly, then turned around and followed silently.
