Shen Yi and Ah Yue rode their horses side by side and left Qiongta Town. As far as the eye can see, there are only vast sand dunes, wave after wave, where are any military horses stationed? Running around the town, Shen Yi looked far away, but still found nothing, and looked back at Ah Yue questioningly.

Ah Yue was also looking at him, also puzzled, and said, "Are you sure that the prince is stationed outside the town, not returning to the palace?" Leaving Qiongta Town and crossing the desert, it is the place where the West Road Border Army is stationed, and it is also the location of the West Road City, the largest city in the border area.

Shen Yi nodded affirmatively and said, "The King of Guanbei never breaks his word. He really hoped in his heart that the King of Guanbei would be able to break his trust once this time and return to Xilu City as soon as possible.

The two of them turned around again, but they still couldn't see a single soldier, and even Shen Yi was a little unsure, wondering if the king of Guanbei had really said that he would be stationed outside the town.

Although the Iron Cavalry is 3,000 people, in this desert full of yellow sand, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, making it difficult for people to start.

Shen Yi raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, straightened his body on horseback, and stared into the distance, but found nothing. He was thinking about whether he should split up with Ah Yue and expand the scope of his search, when Ah Yue suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the distance and said, "There seems to be light over there." ”

As she spoke, Shen Yi also saw it, drove the horse forward and got closer, and saw it more clearly, and sure enough, in the sand, there were a few points of light flickering.

It turned out that the sky was bright at this time, and although the sun had not yet fully risen, there were already weapons reflecting a dazzling light.

Sure enough, the army of the king of Kanbei was stationed in the shining place of the weapons. In the hollow surrounded by several large sand dunes, a huge camp was erected with planks and tents, and for several days the wind and sand blew, and the top of the tent was covered with thick sand and dust, and it seemed to be connected with the desert from afar.

If it weren't for the changing of the guard and the reflection of the weapons, I am afraid that it would take some time to find the camp. Thinking that the king of Guanbei has led the army to garrison the desert border all the year round, he has his own method of marching and camping in the desert, and this arrangement of the barracks is not only hidden and not easy to be discovered by the enemy, but also can not be affected by the huge temperature changes in the desert, and can also prevent sand and dust storms.

It's just that the sandstorm in this town of Qiongta is not an ordinary sandstorm, and it is definitely not something that a few wooden tents can resist.

As soon as Shen Yi and Ah Yue arrived at the gate of the camp, before they could dismount, two soldiers turned out from behind the sand dunes as if they had suddenly come out of the ground, stopped them with knives and guns in their hands, and shouted, "Who is coming?"

Shen Yi saw that this military camp was strictly governed, and he admired the ability of the king of Guanbei to govern the army, and he was even more determined not to let the king of Guanbei and the iron cavalry die in this big sandstorm. He informed his name and only said that there was an urgent matter that needed to be seen by the prince.

Binghua heard Shen Yi's name, his face was full of disbelief, and he looked up and down with a good eye, as if he couldn't imagine that he could actually see Shen Yi, the famous Jiangnan hero in this desert.

The two soldiers were stunned for a moment, and their attitude immediately became much more respectful, and said, "Lord Shen, please wait, and my subordinates will go to report to the prince." After speaking, a soldier turned around and flew back to the camp.

Who knew that Shen Yi and Ah Yue waited for half an hour, and even Binghua, who was accompanying him, was pale and complained, one complained in a low voice and the other said: "You kid, have you made it clear to the prince? This is Lord Shen wants to see the prince." ”

Another voice lowered down and said, "Of course I reported it to the prince." However, the prince's face was not happy, so he only ordered me to return to my post quickly, and continued to talk about the military situation with General Wen. While saying that, he secretly glanced at Shen Yi, feeling very guilty and puzzled, I don't understand that this prince is a big hero, and Lord Shen is also a big hero, why can't heroes respect each other?

Shen Yi was very patient, as if he had expected it. In fact, he has always been very patient, especially when he decides that he wants to do something, no matter how difficult it is, he will definitely do it, not to mention just enduring a little cold reception and face from others?

Ah Yue didn't have Shen Yi's good temper and patience, she walked back and forth irritably, and wanted to turn around and rush back to Qiongta Town several times, but she was reluctant to leave Shen Yi alone in this desert.

She walked back and forth while constantly looking at Shen Yi.

The rising sun was already very hot, but Shen Yi, who was sitting on the ground, was so pale that there was no blood, a layer of fine sweat on his face, but his body was trembling slightly, as if he felt very cold, as if the cold of the desert at night had already eroded into his body, even the hot sunlight could not be dispelled.

The poison of Nassinxia damaged his internal strength far beyond his previous estimates, and the galloping of his horse all night also made the wound on his chest as if it was about to tear.

Ah Yue silently took out a small silver kettle, handed it to Shen Yi, and said softly, "Drink some water?"

Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked up at her, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you." ”

He took the kettle and tried to pull it off, but although he knew that his right hand was weak for a while, he didn't pull it up.

Ah Yue hurriedly stepped forward, took the kettle, helped him pull out the stopper, hesitated, and handed the kettle back to his left hand.

Shen Yi took the kettle, thanked him again, raised his head to drink water, and didn't notice the strangeness in her expression at all.

Ah Yue also felt that she was not normal. I don't know why, every time I see Shen Yi, it's like a little rabbit in my heart, which makes her nervous and happy, both resentful of her distraction and reluctance to leave ruthlessly.

After a cup of tea, I saw a person with his hands on his back, and Shi Shiran paced out of the barracks.

The man who came was not tall, but he was very strong, with two very vigorous mustaches on his lips, a short placket, no armor, and a pair of iron and red tassels on his back crossed at the back of his waist.

Wen Feng's eyes were as bright as a knife, swept over Shen Yi's face, glanced at Ah Yue again, and then turned back to Shen Yi's face, his eyes narrowed slightly, his hands clenched into fists, and said lukewarmly: "It turned out that Lord Shen was waiting outside the camp, and the prince thought that some kind of idle people were making trouble, and the young general came to greet him late, and I hope Lord Shen will forgive me." ”

This Wen Feng often accompanied the king of Guanbei to Beijing to report on his work, and met Shen Yi a few times, but he had the same mind as the king of Guanbei, proud of his outstanding military achievements, and was dissatisfied with Shen Yi's love for the people in the rivers and lakes.

Ah Yue was very angry when she saw him so arrogant.

Shen Yi had already stood up, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "General Wen is polite, I think that the prince and General Wen must have an important military discussion, for the country and the people, Shen is willing even if he waits for a while." ”

Wen Feng did not have the upper hand in his words, and thought to himself: "This Shen Yi is really true to the rumors, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, he is a powerful person, but it's a pity that you are here today with me, the iron cavalry of the mighty border pass, so you can't get in and out as freely as you do in the palace." ”

He already had a calculation in his heart, and he made a haha, but he didn't laugh and said: "I don't know what Lord Shen is doing when he asks to see the prince early in the morning? ”

Shen Yi smiled and said, "If Shen doesn't have anything important, don't dare to disturb the prince rashly." ”

Wen Feng glared at him, and had no choice but to say, "Then please Lord Shen move, the prince is waiting in the tent." ”

King Guanbei sat in the Taishi chair in the middle of the camp tent, and when he saw Shen Yi walking in, he seemed to have a smile on his face, and he didn't speak.

Shen Yi stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said, "Shen Yi has seen the prince Chitose. ”

King Guanbei lowered his eyelids, looked at Shen Yi who was kneeling on the ground, laughed, and said: "The people of Qingtian Mansion are really still knowledgeable, Shen Huwei is so proud, and now he also understands etiquette. ”

Shen Yi lowered his head, no one could see the look on his face clearly, and said in a calm voice: "My subordinates don't dare." ”

King Guanbei stared at Shen Yi for another moment before saying, "Stand up and talk back." ”

He turned his gaze and saw Ah Yue, who had been following Shen Yi, and saw that she neither spoke nor was polite, so he snorted coldly and said, "Why did the high priest of the Moonlight Clan not salute when he saw this king?
