The eight men spent the night in the cave, and when it was getting light, they set their horses west. After Xiao Jinyan woke up, he didn't cry, but didn't say a word.

Liu Yuefei rode the same horse with him and often told jokes to make him happy. It's just that no matter what everyone says, he always looks stunned, as if he has lost something.

Everyone was helpless, they just hoped to arrive in Shule early, and when they saw their acquaintances, maybe Xiao Jinyan would be happier.

After another day of walking, they finally began to see the houses on the side of the road, and everyone was happy, and asked passers-by, knowing that this place was less than half a day's trip from Shule City.

At this time, it was getting late, and it was too late to enter the city again, and the eight people saw that the target was approaching, and they were no longer in a hurry, so they found an inn to stay.

Liu Yuefei's girl's house, she loves cleanliness, and after settling down, she went to fetch water to wash. When passing by the dining hall downstairs, I saw more than a dozen men in robes sitting on a table in the distance, listening to the accent, and recognizing them as people from the south of the Yangtze River.

I only heard one person scolding, "Fuck, I've been following for so long, and I've lost it!"

One person continued, "This surnamed Zhang is really cunning, so many people have chased him for more than half a year, but they can't catch him!"

Another said, "Alas, it's not necessarily a good thing to lose it!"

One asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The man replied, "Along the way, have we seen fewer people who died at the hands of that kid? Even the great disciple of the head of the Kongtong Sect died by his sword! You said that we really wanted to find him, but is there still life?"

One person said, "This is reasonable! I can't find a few words of scolding by the door owner at most, and if I find it, I may lose my life!"

Everyone laughed, eating meat and drinking at the same time, but they were so happy!

Liu Yuefei listened carefully, and thought in her heart, "These people are also here to chase Xiaoyan, I didn't expect to chase here, I'm afraid that in Shule City, there are already people who know about this, and you have to be very careful when you enter the city this time!"

fetched the water and returned to the room, feeling uneasy, and seeing that Xiao Jinyan had fallen asleep, he went to a few brothers to tell him about the matter, Wu Yezi said, "Listening to the tone of these people, I don't want to provoke this wrong, but I just acted on orders, and the big guy was clever, so he wouldn't be discovered by them." ”

Everyone responded in unison, and had dinner together, all of which were beef and mutton, and drank some mare's milk wine, and then they all slept with their clothes.

Not long after Liu Yuefei fell asleep with Xiao Jinyan in her arms, she suddenly heard a sound outside the door, sat up and looked, only to see a hazy figure outside the window, she was startled, slowly sat up, saw that Xiao Jinyan was not woken up, put on clothes, carried a sword in her hand, and slowly paced towards the door.

When I got closer, I could see the silhouette of the man. Liu Yuefei recognized that it was the fifth brother Yan Chuanping, and when she opened the door, she saw Yan Chuanping holding a long sword in his hand, looking around vigilantly.

Seeing Liu Yuefei suddenly open the door and come out, Hikokawa Ping was also shocked.

Liu Yuefei asked softly, "Brother Ping, what are you doing here?"

Yan Chuanping's face flushed, and he said, "I just heard you say that someone is looking for Xiaoyan, and he also lives in this inn, you are alone, I am afraid. I'm afraid. ”

Liu Yuefei understood his thoughts, and her heart warmed, and she smiled and said, "Fool, are you still going to keep a night here?"

Hikokawa said, "Well," he felt that it was inappropriate, and immediately added, "No, I'll watch it for a while, and I'll leave if there's nothing to do." ”

Liu Yuefei suddenly looked at him seriously and asked, "Brother Ping, after so many years, although you don't say it, you still like me in your heart, right?"

Hikokawa Ping was stunned for a moment, and said busily, "Since it's okay, then I'll go back to sleep too, and you can rest early." With that, he turned around and went into his room.

Liu Yuefei looked at him in a panic, smiled sweetly, and went into the house to sleep.

On the second day, the eight of them had breakfast in their rooms, and only after the group had left yesterday did they get up and rush to Shule.

After walking for more than two hours, the road has become more and more prosperous, with cars and horses flowing sideways, and people are boiling. It's hard to imagine that in this bitter cold place of the desert, there is such a prosperous scene.

After walking for a while, I saw a high city gate in front of me, and there were three big characters on the city gate, which was written, Shule City!

And they rejoiced, and passed the guard, and went into the city. The streets were full of hawkers, passing carriages and horses, gorgeously dressed women, and even some foreign merchants with blond hair and blue eyes. Niu Gaojun went to ask passers-by about Xiao Jianyue's name, but was sneered at as a fool.

Niu Gaojun was ridiculed for no reason and was about to have a seizure. Wu Yezi hurriedly stopped him, went to find a man with long curly hair and looked like a foreigner, and asked him for directions.

The man replied in dry Chinese, "Really... Odd.. Isn't Xiao Jianyue the city lord of Shule City, you don't know each other, and you have to ask me. A foreigner?"

Everyone was shocked, and they knew why those people just now reacted like that when they heard Xiao Jianyue asked.

At that moment, he asked the foreign man for the specific location, and rushed straight to the city lord's mansion.

When I arrived at the door of Defu, I sighed in my heart. I saw that the front of the mansion was open and bright, and the mansion was magnificent. Guarding the door were two tall soldiers, spears in their hands, standing upright, both of whom looked like skilled men. The luxury and atmosphere of this mansion is not much better than the residences of the nobles of the Central Plains.

They didn't know that this Shule was located in the fortress of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and it had always dominated one side, and the city lord was comparable to the princes surnamed the Central Plains, so how could the mansion be bad?

Everyone informed the intention, and the soldiers heard that they were coming to find the city lord, and at first they were dismissive, but everyone had no choice but to hand out the letter given by Zhang Yueqing that day, saying that it was the old man's visit, and asked to be informed.

When the soldier saw the letter, he did not dare to slack off, and turned to go in to report it, and after a while, he heard a majestic and majestic voice, "Where is my nephew?"

Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe, tall, with long black hair and shiny, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked not angry and self-assured, walked out of the door, and when he saw everyone, he first glanced at it casually, and when his eyes moved to Xiao Jinyan, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Like, really like, presumably this is my Nandi's child?"

Wu Yezi said, "Dare to ask if you are the city lord?"

The man smiled and said, "Exactly, in Xia Xiao Jianyue, everyone has worked tirelessly to send my nephew here, I am grateful for it, please come in quickly!"

Everyone returned the salute, and followed Xiao Jianyue into the mansion, and sat down in the hall, Xiao Jianyue arranged for someone to prepare the banquet, then walked to Xiao Jinyan's side, and said, "Child, you may not have seen me, I am your cousin." ”

Xiao Jinyan glanced at him, but remained silent.

Liu Yuefei hurriedly said, "Don't blame adults, this child has been poisoned, and he has been frightened a lot, and he doesn't like to talk for a while." ”

Xiao Jianyue said with a smile, "It's okay, children are afraid of life, just get familiar with it." ”

After greeting everyone for a while, the wine and food were ready, Xiao Jianyue invited everyone to the table, and each toasted a bowl of wine, after three rounds of wine, Xiao Jianyue suddenly asked, "I don't know if Yue cleared this letter to you, is there anything else?"

Wu Yezi said, "No, it's this letter, Zhang Shaoxia said that when you see this letter, you will help him take care of Xiaoyan." ”

Xiao Jianyue pondered for a while and said, "How can the son of the deceased be unreasonable, not to mention that his father is still my cousin. ”

Wu Yezi said, "It's so good, we also have a matter on our minds." ”

After everyone was full of food and drink, Wu Yezi said, "Since Xiao Yan has been safely sent to the adult's mansion, the seven of us will also leave." ”

Xiao Jianyue glanced at Xiao Jinyan, played with the wine glass in his hand, and said, "It's getting late today, you might as well stay in the mansion for a night, tomorrow morning, I will prepare a little gift, and it will not be too late for you to leave." ”

Wu Yezi said, "Zhang Shaoxia and I have a life-saving grace, some small things, where do you need a gift, the adult promised to take care of Xiaoyan, we are very happy." You are busy with official business, so we should leave first. ”

Xiao Jianyue said, "The wind and snow outside are very tight, and it will be dark soon, since the gift is not accepted, it is definitely necessary to live for one night, is it possible that you want to say that I ignore the friendship of the landlord in the future?"

Everyone couldn't refuse, so they had to agree, Xiao Jianyue asked someone to arrange a room and led everyone to rest. Xiao Jinyan, who had never spoken, saw that they were leaving, and suddenly hugged Liu Yuefei and didn't let go.

Xiao Jianyue walked over with a smile and said, "From today on, you will be with your uncle, my sister has other things to do, let's not delay them anymore." ”

As he spoke, he hugged Xiao Jinyan, Xiao Jinyan was so anxious that he cried, and said, "Let go of me, let go of me!" Liu Yuefei couldn't bear it when she saw him crying, and said, "Xiao Yan doesn't cry, Xiao Yan is obedient, you can't always follow us to suffer, you wait here obediently, your Uncle Zhang will come to you soon." ”

Xiao Jianyue said, "The child is a little scared when he sees me for the first time, you don't have to worry, it will be fine in a few days." ”

Liu Yuefei was waiting to say more, Wu Yezi glanced at her, Liu Yuefei understood, and had no choice but to leave with everyone, ear

Only Xiao Jinyan couldn't stop crying.
