After saying goodbye to Xun Qin, Liu Xunyi did not dare to hesitate for a moment, escaped from Huodu overnight, and went all the way to the east, straight to the direction of Yumen Pass.

After running for a day and night in the vast wasteland, Liu Xunyi entered the boundary of "Bancheng".

Bancheng is the first town east of Huodu, in the vast western Gobi, the city is far away from each other. Like Bancheng and Huodu, the distance between them is a day and a night, and it is already very close.

Stepping into Bancheng, Liu Xunyi did not find an inn to settle down, he was afraid that there would be an eyeliner of the Jade Dragon Palace here, and then expose his whereabouts. Although Xun Qin saved him from Ding San, Liu Xunyi always had an inexplicable worry, feeling that the disaster of death was close at hand, and he could not afford to slack off.

As the sun set, Liu Xunyi chose a Western Regions desert horse at Bancheng Racecourse. Although the desert horse has similar characteristics to the sweat and blood horse, although it cannot travel a thousand times a day and eight hundred at night, it is enough to run six or seven hundred miles in one day and one night.

Desert horses are quite common in the Western Regions, and their price is less than one percent of that of sweaty BMWs. Therefore, if you want to travel thousands of miles in the vast Gobi, Moma has undoubtedly become the favorite BMW horse of most people because of its amazing endurance and low price.

Under the sunset, Liu Xunyi wore a hat on his head, held a sword in one hand, and led a desert horse in the other, walking on the streets of Bancheng with his head bowed, like a perennial Jianghu man who has been in the Western Regions all year round.

While following Lao Xu's caravan through Bancheng, Liu Xunyi learned that the night market was thriving. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to leave the city, but wandered around the city until the night market opened, and then went to buy some dry food, water and wine to satisfy his hunger on the road. Liu Xunyi planned to leave at night, and then find a secluded valley in the wilderness to rest for a few hours, and then rush to Yumen Pass in one go. As long as you can enter the customs, it will be regarded as a complete escape from the sphere of influence of the Jade Dragon Palace.

Bancheng was speechless, and it was not until the moon rose that Liu Xunyi came out of the east of the city. Tonight, the moon is bright and the breeze is gusting, and it is a good weather that is rare to drive a horse.

Slowly walked to the avenue, without waiting for Liu Xunyi to gallop on his horse, but suddenly there was a brisk sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that the two of them were slowly coming towards him.

The man in front held the reins for the man behind, while the horse behind was swaying, and the man on the horse was also swaying from side to side, looking very twisted, obviously not good at riding.

"You really have the ability, you were captured by the Jade Dragon Palace, and you can escape unharmed. ”

A familiar voice came from the horse in front of him, Liu Xunyi was stunned when he heard this, and lifted the hat in front of him slightly, at this moment the two people had come to the front, Liu Xunyi exclaimed in surprise: "Tang Afu?"

Since yesterday morning's separation in Yezilin, Liu Xunyi thought that Tang Afu would definitely rush day and night with hoarfrost and "frightening wind and rain map", but he didn't expect to meet them outside Bancheng.

"Why are you here?" Liu Xunyi quickly regained his composure and asked curiously, "Have the people of the Jade Dragon Palace ever hunted you down?"

"Since I was entrusted by you, I wanted to take her all the way back to the Central Plains, and then part ways. Tang Afu said lightly, "But after arriving in Bancheng, I suddenly changed my mind and decided to wait for you here for a day, if you don't come, it's not too late to leave, but I didn't expect you to really come." ”

"Wait for me?" Liu Xunyi didn't know why, and wondered, "Why are you waiting for me?"

"One is that I want to give you back this burden. Tang Afu gently tugged on the reins of the white frost's horse, and the horse walked towards Liu Xunyi with the swaying white frost. At this moment, Bai Shuang's face was pale and tired, obviously following Tang Afu during this time, she was not having an easy time.

Tang Afu said: "Her riding skills are the worst I have ever seen. If it weren't for that, maybe I wouldn't have been waiting for you in Bancheng for a day. ”

Liu Xunyi knew that these were just Tang Afu's words, if there was no other reason, how could the ruthless swordsman really delay his trip because of a woman who didn't know how to ride?

"Anyway, I should still thank you for being able to get her out of danger yesterday!" Liu Xunyi smiled.

"It's not me helping you in Ye Zilin, it's you helping me. Tang Afu said, "You first saved my life under Su He's knife, and then helped me drag the people of the Jade Dragon Palace so that I could escape." Yesterday, you saved me twice, and I only helped you once, and I still owe you a favor. ”

"So you just stay in Bancheng and wait for me?" Liu Xunyi had already understood Tang Afu's obsession, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Just to thank me in person?"

Tang Afu was silent for a moment, and when Liu Xunyi was about to speak again, he suddenly said, "It's not just that. My idea is that if I wait for you in Bancheng for a day, if I don't wait for you, you and I will not owe each other, and I will bring her back to the Central Plains, which can be regarded as a matter of kindness to you. But if it waits for you, then give her back to you, and at the same time...... I'll give it back to you. ”

With that, Tang Afu quickly took out a black bamboo tube from the saddle and threw it to Liu Xunyi without hesitation.

Quite different from Liu Xunyi's surprised reaction, when Bai Shuang saw the bamboo tube, a look of greed clearly flashed in his tired eyes.

"What does this mean?" Liu Xunyi held the black bamboo tube and looked at the expressionless Tang Afu in confusion, "Don't you want it?"

"I will take what I want, and I don't need your charity. Tang Afu said coldly, "Although I have used you, I have never been able to do this kind of thing that takes advantage of people's danger." Rather than holding it with a troubled conscience, it is better to give it back to you, and you will be gone. It's okay to repay your life-saving kindness to me. ”

Liu Xunyi looked Tang Afu up and down suspiciously, and asked, "You give me the picture, how will you explain it when you go back?"

"I'll take care of my business by myself, and I don't have to worry about it. Tang Afu said, "I was waiting for you here, just out of compassion, but I didn't expect you to really escape from the Jade Dragon Palace, it seems that all this is providence." Some things are meant to be yours, no matter how many twists and turns, they will always be yours. At this point, the corners of Tang Afu's mouth raised a smile that was extremely rare, but it was just a bitter smile.

After this section, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but have a good impression of Tang Afu, although he knew that the frightening rain picture in the bamboo tube was a fake, but Tang Afu didn't know about it. On the premise of not knowing, you can also give away what you have in your hands, just with this mind and courage, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

"It's Brother Liu in front?"

Just as Liu Xunyi and Tang Afu were chatting, Su He's voice suddenly came from a distance, and then I saw a carriage slowly coming, the two people driving were Su He and Battle, and there was a seriously injured Mo Gan lying in the car.

"Brother Su?" Liu Xunyi's face was overjoyed, and he asked each other almost in unison with Su He, "Are you okay?"

Hearing this, the two were stunned at the same time, and then they looked at each other and laughed.

"It's really commendable that the Jade Dragon Palace didn't embarrass you, when Ding Ao said that a friend wanted to see you, I thought it was an excuse, but now it seems to be true. After that, Su He turned to look at the scarred Battle and the dying Mo Gan, and apologized to Liu Xunyi with a guilty face, "In the Jade Dragon Palace that day, if you didn't care about their safety, Su Mou would ask for a favor for you in front of the palace master." Afterwards, I have been haunted by this matter, and I feel guilty along the way, but fortunately, Brother Liu, you are fine, and Su can rest assured. ”

"Brother Su doesn't have to be polite, you and I are not related, and you can still care so much about my little brother, I am already grateful, how dare you provoke the Jade Dragon Palace for me?" Liu Xunyi returned the salute with a smile, he has always admired Su He, a true man who stands up to the sky.

Liu Xunyi and Su He hit it off at first sight, and they had a subtle sense of cherishing heroes.

Su He smiled heartily, turned to look at Tang Afu, a cautious look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and asked in a condensed voice: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, do you want to trouble Brother Liu again today?"

"Brother Su misunderstood!"

Without waiting for Tang Afu to speak, Liu Xunyi hurriedly explained: "Brother Tang and the younger brother have always had some friendship, he is not here to make trouble today, but to repay my favor." As he spoke, Liu Xunyi also raised the black bamboo tube in his hand towards Su He.

In the face of this, Su He was not shocked, but on the other hand, Battle's face instantly became excited. But before he could take action, Su He had already made a move to hold him down on the shoulder, and said with a straight face: "Battle, Hugh has to forget how Zhuoya died?

"But I ......"

"Shut up. Su He snorted lightly, turned to Liu Xunyi and Tang Afu and arched his hand successively, and said loudly, "Brother Liu, Brother Tang, we have to rush back to Chifengling to treat Chagan, his injuries cannot be delayed, so I will say goodbye to the two of you!"

"Brother Su, take care all the way. Liu Xunyi's expression was straight, and he reluctantly bowed his hand and said, "I hope we can have a future date!"

"Haha......" Su He laughed a few times and said frankly, "There is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, I believe that one day we will be able to meet again, and then I will have a happy drink with Brother Liu!

"A word is a certainty!" Liu Xunyi said, "Brother Su, take care!

After a short greeting, Su He had already spurred his horse and drove away in the northeast direction.

"I'm also leaving!" Tang Afu said lightly, and he pulled the reins and was about to ride his horse away, but was suddenly stopped by Liu Xunyi.

"Take this thing back!"

After that, Liu Xunyi took the initiative to hand the bamboo tube in his hand to Tang Afu.

In this regard, Tang Afu just glanced at it casually, and said lightly: "It's better for you to keep it for yourself! This thing is not mine, even if I accept it today, sooner or later it will be robbed by others, and maybe I will suffer an unwarranted disaster because of it." ”

At this moment, Liu Xunyi's attitude was sincere, Tang Afuyun was light, only Bai Shuang stared at a pair of worried eyes tightly, staring at the bamboo tube nervously, and a pair of slender jade hands clutching the reins, looking extremely worried.

Tang Afu glanced at the white frost with a strange complexion, pulled the reins and walked to Liu Xunyi's side, and left a faint sentence: "Liu Xunyi, in the rivers and lakes, you can't exchange hearts for hearts at any time, sometimes you exchange your sincerity for ...... Have ulterior motives, say it all, you do it yourself. Farewell!"

After saying that, Tang Afu snorted lightly, and the horse suddenly galloped out, riding in the dust. In the same place, only the white frost with mixed tastes in his heart was left, and Liu Xunyi, who looked hesitant and thoughtful.
