The four of them dismounted and entered Gaochang City, Tang Qingmei saw that the women on the street were covering their faces with veils, and said, "This kind of dress is very beautiful." ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "I'm afraid it's not just because of the beauty, it's the perennial wind and sand here, and wearing a veil must have the meaning of shielding the sand and dust." ”

Zhen Yue looked at Tang Qingmei's eager eyes, and said, "I don't want the pity jade of the country and the beauty of the country and the fragrance of the country to be bullied by the sand and dust without concealment." After finishing speaking, Zhen Yue walked to a veil shop on the side of the road. Li Lianyu, Tang Qingmei, and Mo Ruqiu followed Zhen Yue into it.

Tang Qingmei curiously picked a pale pink silk veil, looked at the bronze mirror, and nodded with satisfaction. Zhen Yue picked up a white silk veil and put it on for Li Lianyu, and said with a smile: "If I were a man, I would be fascinated by you." In the end, Zhen Yue picked a purple light veil for herself.

The four of them walked down the street, and the three women looked at each other all the time, so unhappy.

Looking at the monks on the street, Mo Ruqiu said: "I have heard that Gaochang advocates Buddhism, and when I came today, I really filled the city with monks." ”

Tang Qingmei said: "But the Uighurs in Xizhou are the same as the Xia Kingdom, and culturally speaking, they all belong to the Han land. ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "This is very true, since the middle of the Tang Dynasty, this place has been closely associated with Middle Earth. ”

Li Lianyu pointed ahead and said, "Sister, look, it's such a big orchard." But unfortunately, all the fruits withered this season. ”

Zhen Yue said: "Gaochang is hot in the day and cool in the night, which is a blessed land for fruit growth. Lianyu must have heard of the famous Gaochang wine, why don't you have a few glasses and taste it?"

Li Lianyu said: "My sister knows that I don't drink alcohol, so please spare me." ”

Chatting about wine and food, Zhen Yue suddenly felt hungry in her stomach and said, "It's getting dark, let's find a restaurant to eat some food." ”

The four of them chose a restaurant with a thriving business and chose an upstairs private room facing the street.

Zhen Yue looked at the wine in the glass and said, "Since you have come to Gaochang, how can you not taste the authentic grape wine." With that, he drank the wine in his glass.

Mo Ruqiu hesitated for a moment, but still put down the wine glass.

Tang Qingmei glanced at Mo Ruqiu with a smile, and said in her heart: "Qinglu Palace is neither a Buddhist sect nor a Taoist sect, I don't think the master will blame me if I dip my wine lightly." ”

Li Lianyu looked at Tang Qingmei and drank a glass of wine, showing a surprised expression.

Zhen Yue said: "Qingmei, what do you think of the taste of this wine?"

Tang Qingmei said: "This is the first time Qingmei has drunk since she was a child. When you first eat it, it's a little hot, but after you swallow it, you have a slight aftertaste. ”

Zhen Yue smiled, looked at the faint candle flame outside the window, the dim street, and drank another glass.

Although Mo Ruqiu's desire to try it was very strong, she still adhered to the rules and just looked at Tang Qingmei and drank the second cup.

Li Lianyu said in her heart: "After hearing about drinking, I will miss my beloved even more, Tianmu, do you say I drink or not?"

Looking at the wine swaying in the candlelight in the glass, with the slight strength of the wine, Tang Qingmei sighed: "It would be great if my life could be as free and chic as I am now." ”

Zhen Yue guessed that Tang Qingmei was very likely to become the lord of the first palace in the future, this freedom, this chic, if you want to continue, it is almost impossible.

Zhen Yue said: "Qingmei, there is wine today and drunk today, why think about tomorrow?"

Tang Qingmei was silent, and drank another glass.

Li Lianyu looked at Tang Qingmei and said in her heart: "I should also face my heart like Miss Tang, not to mention that if I want to avenge Tianmu with Cai Jing in the future, it is impossible for a person who is so cowardly and cowardly that he can only avoid the true feelings in his heart to succeed." ”

Zhen Yue looked at Li Lianyu silently drinking a glass of wine, and was surprised. But after a while, Zhen Yue could see the thoughts and hesitations in Li Lianyu's heart.

Tang Qingmei has the Flame True Sutra in her body, and she can't pour a thousand cups. Zhen Yue is familiar with the veins of the human body, and repeatedly touches the acupuncture points, and the alcohol naturally dissipates very quickly. Li Lianyu's cold skills are profound, and the wine will naturally dissolve when it enters the body. Mo Ruqiu looked at the three women, cup after cup, drowning his sorrows with wine, and was full of envy.

The next day, Zhen, Li, Tang, and Mo rode north from Gaochang City for a day and arrived at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains. At the end of winter, the snow is covered with snow on the Tianshan Mountains, and the cold air hits people, and from time to time the wind rises suddenly, and the snowflakes hit the face.

Zhen Yue stood at the foot of the mountain, locked his collar and said: "I see that this mountain road is rugged, the snow covers the world, and it is difficult to drive a horse forward." ”

Li Lianyu said: "My sister is very true, I will tie the horse to the bottom of the mountain." ”

Zhen Yue gently touched Lingfeng and said, "Feng'er, you are waiting for me here." ”

Lingfeng hissed softly, and put his head on Zhen Yue's body.

Tang Qingmei said: "It's really a spiritual BMW. ”

Zhen Yue smiled: "Let's go up the mountain." ”

The four of them braved the snow to reach the halfway point of the mountain, and Zhen Yue saw footprints on the snow in front of them, as if they had just been left behind.

Zhen Yue pointed to the footprints on the ground and said, "Let's see." ”

Li Lianyu said curiously: "In this snowy season, who still braves the snow to go to the Tianshan Mountain? Could it be some medicine farmers?"

Mo Ruqiu said: "I don't look like a medicine farmer. From the footprints, it can be seen that there are also four people in the front row. The footprints of the two people in front of them are spaced apart and the snow is deep, and these two should be men who practice martial arts. Please Mrs. Yang turn around and look at the footprints you and Miss Tang left in the snow. ”

Zhen Yue, Li Lianyu, and Tang Qingmei looked back.

Mo Ruqiu continued: "Mrs. Yang will look at the footprints of the other two people in front of her. ”

Li Lianyu said: "The footprints of these two people are similar to those of me and the Qingmei girl, and they are steady and soft. ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Mrs. Yang is very right, these two should be women who practice martial arts, and they also have certain attainments in footwork. ”

Zhen Yue compared his footprints in the snow and said with a smile: "You and other people who practice martial arts, your posture is vigorous, your body is stable, and the footprints in the snow are not different in depth, and the interval is basically the same." ”

Li Lianyu said: "I don't know who these four people are. ”

Tang Qingmei patted her windbreaker and swept away the snow on her body, revealing a little uneasiness in her eyes.

Zhen Yue smiled: "I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for these four strangers to suddenly appear. ”

Li Lianyu was puzzled and said, "Sister, why do you say this?"

Zhen Yue said: "The old monster of Tianshan has always been strange and withdrawn, these four people must not be his friends, maybe they are looking for revenge." ”

Li Lianyu said: "What my sister said is good, if the two sides start to move, what can I do?"

Zhen Yue said: "Act at the opportunity." This time I went to the Tianshan Mountains in order to ask for Ning Xuezhu, and all the actions of the four of us revolved around this original intention. ”

Li Lianyu said: "Lianyu understands. ”

Mo Ruqiu said: "Senior Sister Zhen, what should we do next?"

Zhen Yue said: "Hurry up and follow these four people, first watch from a distance, don't startle the snake." ”

Zhen Yue, Li Lianyu, Tang Qingmei, and Mo Ruqiu quickened their pace, and after a while, they found the four people who had just left footprints in front of them.

Zhen Yue saw from a distance that one of the four men was burly, holding a single axe, wearing a tiger skin coat, Zhen Yue said strangely: "Isn't this King Harlie?"
