The cold comes and the summer comes and goes, and things change.

When Liu Xunyi went out of Yumen in the west, the late autumn had passed away, and the cold winter was coming.

Thousands of miles of Gobi, the cold wind is biting, the frost and snow are drifting, if there is no inn to settle down, the people who come and go can only hurry day and night, and dare not have the slightest stop. Even if people are sleepy and tired, they can only rest for a while at noon, when the sun is at its highest. Because the rest of the hours are cold, I am a little misguided, and I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep for a long time.

This trip to the Western Regions was a secret in the house, so Liu Xunyi only brought three people with him, namely Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai. Although they have not followed Liu Xunyi for a long time, they have gone through many twists and turns, and they can also share weal and woe, and treat each other with all sincerity.

From Yumen Pass all the way to the west, the fast horse galloped for several days, and the group stepped into the boundary of Bancheng as promised.

At noon, several people rode horses outside the east gate of Bancheng, and Liu Xunyi raised his eyes to look at it, and couldn't help but think a lot.

Last year, he parted ways with Tang Afu and Su He here, and today he revisited the old place and found that the city gate is still the same, and the people are the same, but he is no longer the Liu Xunyi of the past.

He thought that he would never set foot in the Western Regions again in his life, but unexpectedly, it was only a year later, and he went and returned. Time has passed, things are people, and this feeling of being separated from the world makes him feel more emotional and sighing.

"The master of the door, Miss Xunqin said in the letter that on the eighth day of the first month of November, she will meet us at the Yangchun Inn in Bancheng. Tang Cong spread out Xun Qin's secret letter and said loudly: "Today is the ninth day of the new year, we are one day later than the agreed time, presumably Miss Xun Qin is already waiting for us at the Yangchun Inn." ”

"After entering the city, put away your sword, keep a low profile in everything, endure what you can, and don't cause trouble. Liu Xunyi advised, "This place is not as good as the Central Plains, the fish and dragons are mixed, the good and the bad are mixed, if something happens to us here, I am afraid that there will not even be a person to collect the corpse." ”

After last year's nine deaths, Liu Xunyi still has lingering fears about the chaotic situation in the Western Regions.

"Yes. ”

"Into town!"

Yangchun Inn is located in the west of the city, Liu Xunyi four people led the horse, through the streets and alleys, attracting many people along the way.

Curious, suspicious, scrutinizing, and even provocative, although they have undergone some disguises, the characteristics of the Han people still attract many people of different races, looking up and down with bad intentions.

The pedestrians on the road had different expressions and attitudes, which made Tang Cong and the Liao brothers uncomfortable.

"Door Master, why do these people always stare at us?" Liao Chuan asked in a low voice, "We don't know them, what's there to see?"

"Yes. Tang Cong cried with a sad face and echoed, "It's okay to be stared at by women, but now I feel uncomfortable being stared at by a group of big men covered in fox smell." ”

"It's so popular here, there's no need to make a fuss. Liu Xunyi smiled lightly, "As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they will just take a look, and they will never do anything excessive." You don't have to pay attention to it, and after a while they feel bored and they will disperse. ”

"The first time I came to the Western Regions, I felt like I was being taken advantage of. Tang Cong pouted and said, "They just look at it, and they even whisper to each other, and they don't know what nonsense to say?

"Haha......"

Tang Cong's words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the Liao brothers.

"It is not surprising that there are many ethnic groups such as Han, Mongolian, Turkic, Khitan, and Tibetan peoples, and the language is not understood. Liu Xunyi said, "They also don't understand your words, if they know that you call them 'eight lambs', how can they be indifferent?"

"It's good if I don't understand, Lao Tzu is just relieved. Hearing this, Tang Cong suddenly came to his senses, and scolded unscrupulously, "Look at it, what's so beautiful......?

"Beware that any of them can understand Chinese. ”

Liu Xunyi's sudden reminder made Tang Cong's face change suddenly, and he hurriedly closed his mouth, looking left and right in fear, for fear that his remarks would be disrespectful and cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi and the Liao brothers laughed again, causing Tang Cong to look at him with indignation.

Talking and laughing, the group came to Yangchun Inn.

"Follow me!"

Seeing Abaolu waiting outside the door from a distance, without waiting for Liu Xunyi to come forward to say hello, Abaolu spit out a sentence coldly, and then turned around and walked towards the second floor of the inn.

Facing the gloomy and frosty Abaolu, Liu Xunyi and the others couldn't help but look at each other, so embarrassed.

In a guest room on the second floor of the inn, Liu Xunyi and a few people finally saw Xun Qin who was "thinking about it for a long time". Today's Xun Qin is still dressed as a woman, dressed as a literati son, with a dignified appearance and outstanding demeanor.

"Lord Liumen, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?"

"Miss Tuo Xunqin's blessing, everything is okay. Liu Xunyi apologized, "On the second day of our west trip out of Yumen, because the horse died violently in the Gobi, we delayed for a day, and we hope to forgive our sins." ”

After the greetings, they took their seats. At this time, Xun Qin was accompanied by only Abaolu, and as for Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao, together with other masters of the Three Sects of the Western Regions, they rushed to the Central Plains with Xie Xuan.

This is also the reason why Abaolu is dissatisfied with Liu Xunyi. Right now, Xun Qin is the only one by his side to protect him, and staying in a strange place for a moment will be more dangerous. Liu Xunyi was a whole day late, which made Abaoru worry and not worry.

If Xun Qin encounters an accident on this day, Abaoluding will break Liu Xunyi's body into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be scattered.

Thankfully, it was business as usual, and there were no surprises.

"I heard that the Lord of the Willow Gate jumped off the cliff in the Valley of Despair, his courage is commendable and admirable!" Xun Qin's beautiful eyes looked Liu Xunyi up and down, and asked with interest, "What is the result?" I don't know what the Lord of Luofu has to do with the Lord of the Heartless Valley?"

This question alone is enough to show Xun Qin's excellence.

First, she is far away in the Western Regions, but she knows everything about the Central Plains. In the two, she did not ask about the grievances between the Xianwang Mansion and the Desperate Valley, but directly pointed the finger at Luo Tianjin and Xiao Zhirou, and also used the word "relationship".

It is not difficult to see that Xun Qin actually had a speculation in his heart about this matter.

"Right and wrong, I'm also confused. Liu Xunyi shook his head and said: "But the mansion master has already ordered that this matter will be solved by him personally, and outsiders don't have to interfere." ”

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was deliberately perfunctory, Xun Qin no longer asked, but nodded slightly, and then chanted inexplicably: "See each other, go up to the west building alone without a word." The moon is like a hook, and the lonely Wutong deep courtyard locks the autumn. Cut constantly, the reason is still messy, it is sorrowful, don't be a general taste in the heart. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, and said suspiciously: "Miss Xunqin, you are ......"

"That's it!" Xun Qin replied with a smile, "As the so-called 'bell is still needed to tie the bell', it is indeed inconvenient for outsiders to interfere in the grievances and grievances between the lord of Luofu and the lord of Xiao Gu. ”

Although Xun Qin didn't make her words clear, the deep meaning of her words was self-evident, which made Liu Xunyi smack her tongue again and again.

"Don't mention the matter of the Central Plains, right now that we are in the Western Regions, we should focus on the Jade Dragon Palace. Seeing Liu Xunyi's strange appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Xun Qin suddenly changed his words and said with a smile, "I don't know what the Lord of Liumen plans for this trip?"

"To tell you the truth, I made a special trip to listen to Miss Xunqin's dispatch. Liu Xunyi was in good spirits and complimented, "Before going out, the lord of the mansion specially explained that the matter of the Jade Dragon Palace Miss Xun is the master, and I am from." ”

"Why? Before I saw Ren Wuya, the Lord of the Willow Gate first started to retreat?" Xun Qin smiled deeply, "It seems that the incident on the second day of the eighth month had a great impact on the Lord of the Willow Gate. So much so that the once confident Lord Liumen has become submissive today, looking forward and backward, and even ...... Hypocrisy, pretense?"

"If you don't think about winning, you should lose first. I learned this from the lord of the mansion and the girl Xunqin. Liu Xunyi was not annoyed, and laughed at himself, "On the second day of the eighth month, it was an unforgettable lesson for me, which I still remember vividly and vividly. ”

"If that's the case, why doesn't the Lord of the Willow Sect go back and forth from where?" Xun Qin's eyes darkened, and he said in a weird manner, "Since I am the master and you are the slave, what does it matter if you have it or not?"

"If Miss Xun Qin insists on this, she should act according to orders, but she is disrespectful. Liu Xunyi smiled and was calm.

"Bang!"

Hearing this, Abaolu was furious, and immediately took the case, and angrily reprimanded: "The surname Liu, do you want to know what to do?"

"When is your turn to speak here?"

Seeing this, Tang Cong and the Liao brothers quickly got up, glared angrily at Abaolu, and ridiculed each other.

"What are you doing?" Liu Xunyi's face sank, and he said coldly, "Do you want to be in the nest?"

"Lord Liumen, since you don't want to rebel in the nest, why do you have to be pretentious and pretentious in front of me?" Xun Qin smiled instead of being angry, slowly picked up the teacup, and said indifferently, "If the Lord of Luofu really trusts me, how can he send you to spy on me? Since you were sent here, it is enough to show that the person who Lord Luofu trusts the most is you." After all, you are the one from the Xian Wangfu, and I am not. I'm just a friend of Lord Luofu. And you are his 'confidant'. ”

Xun Qin's last sentence implied his meaning, as if he was "threatening" Liu Xunyi.

Liu Xunyi's face changed color, and he said in a low voice: "Miss Xunqin, don't misunderstand, the mansion master never suspects you......"

"Lord Liumen doesn't have to explain. Xun Qin shook his head and smiled, "Actually, it doesn't matter if the Lord of Luofu believes me or not, the important thing is that we must work together to do this errand, and we must not be preempted by the people of Jinjianwu." Among the four pagan sects of martial arts, the Jade Dragon Palace is the strongest, and if it can get Ren Wuya's help, whether it is the Xianwang Mansion or the Golden Sword Dock, it is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger. On the contrary, if you lose the support of the Jade Dragon Palace, you will definitely lose the strength of one and the other, and it will be difficult to support it alone. At this juncture, who can get the help of the Jade Dragon Palace? Whoever will have an extra chance of winning at next year's martial arts conference. Therefore, both the Lord of Luo Mansion and Jin Fuyu were bound to win the Jade Dragon Palace, and they did not hesitate to pay any price for it. Lord Liumen, am I right?"

"That's true. Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "That's why I want to serve you as the Lord." After all, you have a great friendship with the Jade Dragon Palace, and I have a ...... with the Jade Dragon Palace But it is a beam. ”

"You're not the only one who has been married to the Jade Dragon Palace?" Xun Qin snorted and laughed, "Now almost all of the people who want to win over Ren Wuya have been married to the Jade Dragon Palace, but more or less, light or dark." ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Xunyi heard a hint from Xun Qin's words, and hesitated, "Is it possible...... Right now, in addition to us and Jin Jianwu, are there other forces that have come to the Western Regions?"

"Yes. Xun Qin nodded lightly, smiling, "And it's still your old acquaintance." ”

"Old acquaintance?" Liu Xunyi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"The first fast knife in Mobei, Su He. ”
