Chapter 101: The Beacon of Western Xinjiang

The majestic and towering Tiandu Mountains are not only the natural dividing line between the human race and the sand tribe, but also block the water vapor from the east. Looking west from the Liangjie Pass, there are vast wastelands and thousands of miles of Gobi everywhere.

The quicksand river flows out of the Tiandu Mountains, and the Juanjuan clear stream gathers countless mountain springs, flowing through a hundred miles before the two realms. Because of this river, the land is fertile for more than 100 miles before the two realms, not only has verdant pastures, but also farmlands in some places. The human race from Kannai has flourished here in this peaceful era for nearly a thousand years.

Backed by the Two Realms Pass, although this is the junction of the Terrans and the Sand Clan, in fact, relatively speaking, it is not so dangerous. Many people have never had a fight in their lives, and the taxes of the quicksand pass are far lighter than those outside the pass. Many people have never been able to return since they came to the border.

The bluestone wall left by the ancestors has been mottled, made at sunrise and rested at sunset, and the people here live an ordinary life.

A team of more than 20 horsemen and horses slowly walked from the side of the Two Realms Pass and came towards Shaliu Town.

"I've seen Han Shangren! I've seen all my lords!" the guard guarding the gate saw the patrol from afar, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The captain of the patrol team is a female cultivator, with a beautiful face and a heroic look between her eyebrows. She was dressed in a close-fitting military uniform, narrow sleeves and long pants, which was unusually neat and neat. The long green silk was tied with a ribbon, and there was not a trace of accessories on the head.

"Prepare some water for the horses!" she jumped off her horse and said to the people behind her, "Rest here first, and then hurry!"

"Yes, Captain!" the crowd dismounted, handing the reins to the guards. "Good life, this is a good dragon scale horse!" one commanded.

"The villain saved!" the guard hurriedly nodded.

Shaliu Town is a big town in the east of the Liusha River, on the verge of the Liusha River, and the west of the river is the land of the Sand Tribe!

Outside Shaliu Town, a market was built near the river, and one side directly borrowed the wall, and the other three sides were only blocked by some fences. The main trade in the market is all kinds of animal husbandry products abundant in the land of the Sha people, most of which are exchanged for grain, cloth, tea, etc. There are also some merchants who come from afar, peddling jade, gemstones, spices, etc., but it is prosperous.

Along with this market, Shaliu Town is also considered wealthy, and many families take out the houses on the street side to do business. The wine flag is displayed, and the aroma of wine is intoxicating.

The group came out of the two realms and walked six or seven market towns in a row, and there was a lot of wind and dust on their bodies. When I saw the tavern, a few people couldn't walk.

"Captain!" cried a bearded man pitifully.

"Didn't you bring wine?" Han Qianying said with a frown, a little dissatisfied.

"Captain, there is no wine and no food, isn't it fragrant to drink!" Ma Zhiyong grinned. He had been following Captain Han for a long time, and he knew that she was cold-faced and soft-hearted, and if he asked for a while, she would agree.

Sure enough, Han Qianying hesitated for a moment and nodded. Ma Zhiyong cheered, rushed into the restaurant next to him, grabbed two tables and sat down, patted the table and said, "Guy, man, order!"

"Hey, it's coming!" a Qingling Lingtian voice responded. Immediately their ears stood up, and they followed the sound to see what was coming.

The blue curtain in the middle of the room was lifted, and everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a graceful woman walked out. Looking at everyone's wolf-like eyes, he smiled shyly.

More than a dozen big men took a breath in unison. "Beauty!" Ma Zhiyong couldn't help but sigh.

The Two Realms Pass is an important border pass, and in addition to the ordinary Jingguo soldiers, the rest are monks sent by various factions to garrison. Although there are also nuns, the number is pitiful.

"This woman is even better looking than our captain!" Leng Xiaosi said in a low voice.

"Hmph, you take this to the captain and say it!" Ma Zhiyong pressed Leng Xiaosi's shoulder and whispered. Leng Xiaosi shook and shrunk his shoulders, "I don't dare!"

"What do you want to tell me?" Han Qianying walked in, his eyes swept away, and everyone smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing!

Chen Nuo on the side also brushed the bench, Han Qianying sat down, and said, "I'm clamoring to drink, why haven't I ordered food yet?"

"Yes, yes, yes, order!" Ma Zhiyong smiled at the woman and said, "Do you have any specialty dishes here?"

The woman smiled, and suddenly bloomed like a spring flower, and even Han Qianying felt that this girl was really beautiful. There are many beauties in Piaoxiang Valley, and I am afraid there are only a few people who can match her. It is said that Yun Xi under Senior Sister Feiyan is a beauty, I don't know how she compares to her?

"We are a small place here, so naturally we can't make any famous dishes!" The girl smiled and said: "There are braised desert beef, fragrant roasted yellow lamb chops, money cabbage, milk soup pot fish, and stewed meat." Sister, this fish is from our quicksand river, and it was only caught this morning, so it's fresh!" looked at Han Qianying with bright eyes, there were more than twenty people here, and she was the only one who was a woman, so she naturally looked more kind.

"Okay, just take two portions of what you just said, and then serve some other dishes, just make two tables!" Han Qianying said.

"Okay, sister, wait a minute, you'll have it soon!" the girl turned lightly and commanded behind her. Turning around, he brought a large porcelain pot and poured a glass of water for Han Qianying.

"Sister, drink some hot water to moisten your throat first! This is sand date honey, but it's sweet!" the girl held the cup and handed it to Han Qianying.

Looking at the light yellow honey water in the cup and smelling the faint sweet fragrance, Han Qianying also relaxed a lot. "Little sister, why are you alone here?

"Small business, where do you still use it to find people?" The girl smiled and said: "Originally, A-Niang followed her father, but A-Niang was a little uncomfortable these days, so I came to replace it for two days." ”

Looking at her smiling like a flower, Han Qianying couldn't help but be in a trance. Once upon a time, I also had such an innocent time!

"Fluttershy, it's time to serve!" a gruff voice cries.

"Here we go!" Fluttershy, like a butterfly, deftly enters the back kitchen and comes over with a large tray to serve food.

"Sister and big brothers, please use it first, and the rest will be fine later!" Fluttershy said sweetly.

"I can't imagine that there is such a beautiful girl in this remote place!" Leng Xiaosi sighed while eating vegetables.

"Rare and weird!" Ma Zhiyong said: "Most of the human races here intermarry with the opposite Sha tribe, and the women here mostly have some foreign blood, which looks different from the women in our pass." But it's rare to see something as beautiful as this!"

"Hahaha! Brother Ma, otherwise, you can marry and go home!" said a few people next to him.

"Hehehe, I'm willing! I'm afraid that the tigress at home can't!" Ma Zhiyong laughed.

Fluttershy quickly puts the dishes on the table, smiles, and sits down at the back of the counter.

Han Qianying doesn't drink alcohol, only honey water. The meal lasted half an hour, and everyone was satisfied with burps. Han Qianying paid the bill, and Fluttershy said sweetly, "Sister, big brothers, come again!"

The group went to the bazaar to look at it, and everything was as usual, and as they were leaving, another caravan crossed the wooden bridge over the river to trade.

The leader was a richly dressed young man, and when he passed by Han Qianying, he glanced at her a few times presumptuously. The old man next to him hurriedly whispered a few words, and he sighed and lazily withdrew his eyes.

The team set off from the north gate and headed for the next town. This kind of patrol is considered a daily life, and a team of people is not in a hurry, and slowly moves along the quicksand river.

After walking for more than ten miles, someone casually looked back and suddenly exclaimed.

"Captain, look!"

Han Qianying looked back, and in the distant sky, a black smoke went straight up to the sky. Ma Zhiyong exclaimed: "It's Shaliu Town!"

Han Qianying immediately abandoned his horse and sword, took off into the air, and flew towards Shaliu Town. "I'll go over and take a look!" Before the words fell, the man had already flown into the air.

"Let's go, hurry back!" several people hurriedly urged the horses to gallop.

A dozen miles is only a matter of moments for Edgeworth. As soon as Han Qianying collected the spirit sword, it landed on the local area, and the small shop that had drunk and eaten before, now ignited a raging fire, black smoke billowing and rising into the sky.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!" "Neighbors bring pots and buckets to fetch water to put out the fire.

Han Qianying pinched his fingers, the blue light flashed, and a water dragon went straight to the fire. The flames were extinguished instantly, but the smoke was even greater.

"Immortals!" exclaimed someone behind him.

She rushed in with a brisk stride, and on the passage between the back kitchen and the hall, a stout man in his thirties fell in a pool of blood, already in a different place.

She immediately dodged out, "Where's the arson?" she suppressed her anger.

"Look that way!" said a young man, pointing in the direction of the market.

Han Qianying left Edgeworth and flew away, but saw a group of people hurrying across the quicksand river bridge.

"The thief is gone!" Han Qianying shouted loudly and rushed straight to the bridge. Then the long sword turned into a green man, and stabbed at the back of those people.

With a "bang", a white light intercepted Han Qianying's spirit sword, but it was an old man he had seen in the market before.

"Old thief, you killed people!" Han Qianying roared angrily.

"If you dare to offend our young master, you will kill it!" the old man said contemptuously: "Girl, please stop, stepping on the quicksand river bridge is a violation of the contract between the two clans." ”

Han Qianying trembled angrily, and said with a sneer: "Haha, you cross the border to kill people and set fires for no reason, but you can put the contract in your eyes?"

"This matter is not our fault!" the old man said, "We will negotiate with your nobles to resolve this matter!"

Han Qianying hesitated slightly, and then said, "You hand over the murderer! Also, where is the little girl?"

The old man grabbed a person by the neck as soon as he grabbed it in the crowd. The man shouted in horror, "Elder Kuji, I ......" Before he finished speaking, he was thrown across the river by the old man and landed not far in front of Han Qianying.

On the surface of the river of more than twenty zhang, a living person was casually thrown over, and Han Qianying was also a little frightened.

"What about the little girl?" Han Qianying stepped forward to restrain the man who was still struggling, and said coldly.

The man said pitifully: "Our young master likes that girl, and he has already crossed the river with him!"

"Beasts!" Han Qianying scolded angrily. Suddenly, there was a loud "boom" on the ground, and the quicksand river bridge of more than 30 zhang collapsed violently, wrapped in the turbulent river mat, and rushed downstream.

The old man's sword turned into a black shadow and chased after the men and horses in front of him.
