Time passes little by little, especially when sleeping, people will feel that time flies.

When everyone was done with these things, it was time for dinner.

Ding Xiuran looked elated, and led a group of officials under his command to the "Ask Xianju" to house Wu Nai and his party. Ding Xiuran still booked a banquet for Wu Nai and them in the Stargazing Tower, no matter what he was thinking in his heart, but he still worked the surface.

Wu Nai and his entourage slept well all afternoon, and the tiredness of last night was swept away, and when they got up, someone invited them to eat.

Before leaving, Wu Nai specially reminded the other three that he would pretend to be drunk and take the opportunity to come out, and let Liu Baoshuang help him go back, so as to take the opportunity to quietly go to the military camp to meet with Zhao Xing and others. In order not to arouse suspicion, Bai Yu will stay to accompany He Lou Pengfei.

So he still took He Lou Pengfei, the master of the horse, as the guest of honor, and under the support of a group of sycophants, the group came to the stargazing tower again.

After a while, it was getting dark.

Today's night in Xiguan is not as bright as last night's moonlight, the sky is covered by dark clouds, and the cool breeze is blowing, making the pedestrians on the road as if they have been hit into the bones by the wind.

During the banquet, Wu Nai began to talk "nonsense" after drinking, and after a few more glasses, he fell to the ground "unconscious". After being teased by the horse master He Lou Pengfei, who was called a perfect performance, Liu Baoshuang was ordered by He Lou Pengfei to help the "drunk" Wu Nai to prepare to go back to "ask Xianju" first.

Under the arrangement of Ding Xiuran's housekeeper Qian Sanjin, Liu Baoshuang took the "drunk" Wu Nai back to Wenxian Residence, and after seeing the two of them return to the room, Qian Sanjin respectfully said goodbye and left.

After seeing Qian Sanjin walking away, Liu Baoshuang hurriedly said to Wu Nai: "Wu Nai, that fat housekeeper has left." ”

Wu Nai, who was drunk and unconscious, jumped up from the bed at this time, then opened the window and said, "It's a little cold, put on your cloak and set off again." Leave a rope, let's go down from here now, and we'll come back from here later. ”

Then, under the cover of night, the two slipped out of the room with two black cloaks and a cloth rope, and then came out of the backyard over the wall into the street, and then braved the cold wind all the way to the barracks at the West City Gate.

Finally, we came to a road to the barracks, and after this alley passed, in front of me was the high wall of the West City Gate, which was the garrison of the border army.

The two of them were walking in the middle of the alley, when they suddenly saw a little boy about four or five years old running over and blocking their way.

Wu Nai and Liu Baoshuang looked at each other, and then asked the child, "Little brother, what's wrong, why are you blocking our way?"

The little boy looked at Wu Nai carefully, and after a while, he asked in his immature voice, "May I ask if the eldest brother is called Wu Nai?"

Wu Nai was taken aback, he was afraid of fraud, so he pulled Liu Baoshuang behind him, and then asked the little boy with a smile: "Yes, is there anything wrong with the little brother?"

As he said this, the little boy raised his hand and opened his small palm and said, "There is an uncle who just invited me to eat candy man, and said that I should give you this paper ball, as long as it is handed over to you, he said that he will invite me to eat sugar man next time." ”

Wu Nai breathed a sigh of relief, and then took the paper ball from the child's hand, and he was about to open it, but the little boy immediately reminded: "Big brother! Uncle said, you can only read it alone." ”

Wu Nai was surprised after hearing this, he and Liu Baoshuang glanced at each other again, and Baoshuang nodded sensibly.

Wu Nai squatted down and said to the little boy: "Thank you, little brother, how do you know that I am Wu Nai?"

The little brother smiled innocently: "Uncle said, just find someone who doesn't have a dark face but has been blown off some skin." ”

Wu Nai touched his slightly blown skin, yes, the sun and wind here in Xiguan, the locals' faces are slightly dark and rough, and he, a foreigner, is naturally white-skinned and tender-skinned compared to them. And the city has been under martial law for a long time under Ding Xiuran's orders, and outsiders can hardly see it.

After the little boy finished speaking, he hopped back into the alley.

Liu Baoshuang took a step back and turned his head in amusement, Wu Nai opened the crumpled paper ball and began to look at it carefully. However, looking at it, Wu Nai was stunned.

Liu Baoshuang waited for a long time, but she didn't see Wu Nai move, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Oh...... It's okay......"

"Have you finished reading?"

"I've read ......"

"Then I turned around?"

"Hmmm......"

Liu Baoshuang turned around and saw Wu Nai's unyielding appearance, he was holding the paper ball tightly in his hand, his eyes were dumbfounded, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Baoshuang asked cautiously: "Wu Nai...... Is it really okay?"

Wu Nai suddenly turned his head and said, "Frost deception...... Go and wait for me at the barracks gate...... I'll be ...... in a moment."

"Huh?" Liu Baoshuang hurriedly asked after listening, "What's wrong?"

Wu Nai didn't answer, but said to her seriously: "Bully, don't ask why, just wait for me at the gate of the barracks." ”

After that, Wu Nai took off his cloak and draped it on Liu Baoshuang's back.

"It's windy today, don't catch a cold. ”

Liu Baoshuang returned: "It's okay...... I'm not the kind of delicate lady, ah!" he sneezed.

Wu Nai smiled: "Hahaha, although you are not delicate, you are a fake lady." Put it on, I'm a rough man, it's okay, just wait for me a while. ”

Liu Baoshuang rubbed her little nose embarrassedly, nodded lightly, and then walked towards the military camp in front of her.

After seeing Liu Baoshuang walking away, Wu Nai reopened the crumpled paper ball in his hand and took another look.

He looked at the open ball of paper as he scurried through the nearby alley.

After a while, Wu Nai came to the horse market in the city, which had been abandoned for a while.

Covering several streets, the city horse market now looks empty and desolate, and there is nothing alive here except for the cold wind.

The horse market in Luoxian City was originally very lively, and Xiguan not only produced its own good horses, but also sold good horses from the desert empire Harrier.

The good horse of the Desert Empire Harrier is tall, although its endurance and survival are not as good as the steppe horses in Beiguan, but it is extremely explosive, and it is an excellent war horse for forming armored cavalry. Although Daxuan has already introduced excellent Harrier horses, because Xiguan has limited places suitable for raising this kind of horses, it is inevitable to import war horses from Harrier.

And among these horses, there are a lot of rare sweat and blood BMWs, which are in other places, but money can't buy them.

However, because of the loss of the outer pass in the past fifty years, Dinu has been rampant and domineering outside the pass, so that it is difficult to introduce Hariel's good horses, and the past scenery of the horse market in this fallen immortal city has plummeted.

What's more, because of the recent continuous martial law of Ding Xiuran, the only lifeline of the local horse market has also been cut off for a while, so he is so lifeless at this moment.

Wu Nai walked cautiously in the horse market, he looked around as he walked, and it seemed that Wu Nai's destination was this empty horse market where no one was around.

After coming to the center of the horse market, I heard a small noise from the abandoned courtyard on the side.

Wu Nai hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see a person leaning against a dead tree in the courtyard.

At night, Wu Nai couldn't see who he was, only a hat on his head.

After this person finished laughing, he said to Wu Nai: "Bo Qiu, you know that you will definitely come back." ”
