Chapter 619 Current Situation
Times have changed, and the original fortress city has acquired huge economic attributes, but Zhenxi Fucheng was ultimately built to cope with the war. As the sun sets in the west, the watchmen of the City Defense Department begin to shout about the curfew, and the streets and alleys are busy with traffic. The noise quickly faded away like the tide.
The rows of houses and buildings with raised eaves seemed to be frozen in the sunset for eternity, and then disappeared into the darkness of the night.
The long street that fell into darkness became silent and empty, and the homeless merchants and vendors gathered in the large and small inns and wine shops. People of all kinds in the halls gathered in groups, shouting loudly, drinking and having fun.
These noises passed through the stairs, past the corridor and the wooden door of a guest room that was not soundproof.
The guest room is not big, and the decoration is simple and simple. There is no heavy smoke, but it is filled with a faint fragrance.
A big yellow dog squatted at the door of the guest room, blinking its eyes clearly and stupidly at the woman pacing back and forth in the room.
Because of the hot weather, the woman did not wear formal clothes indoors. Her upper body was wrapped in a bra like a woman from the Western Regions, and her lower body was in a pair of silk trousers. A pair of slender legs were constantly intertwined as she walked, and her figure was slender. And graceful.
Seemingly aware of the anxiety in the other party's heart, the big yellow dog's tail swept from time to time with a faint intention to please.
But it’s a pity,
This flattery did not have any effect.
When the slender woman walked up to the big yellow dog, she caught a glimpse of the guy staring at her, and suddenly kicked the dog's squatting **** angrily:
“What are you looking at?”
句
The big yellow dog was kicked in pain and immediately jumped up to the double bed in the guest room with its tail between its legs. It kept wagging its tail at the other woman on the bed and barked a few times to express its grievance.
The woman sitting beside the bed looked much gentler, with picturesque eyebrows and a waist as thin as a willow in the wind. Her jewel-like green and clear eyes glanced at the slender woman, and then stretched out her delicate hands to rub the big yellow dog's head for comfort.
The dog squinted his eyes in enjoyment, mouthed twice and wanted to jump on the bed, but as soon as he started, the slender woman's cold voice came over:
“I’ll break your legs if you dare to go to bed!”
ˆ “.”
Hearing Lihe, the big yellow dog stopped moving, lay down on the ground, and began to roll on its belly to please.
The slender woman snorted coldly when she saw this, and started pacing in the room again.
The woman from the Western Regions who was sitting by the bed stared at the slender woman who was pacing for a few breaths, and then she suddenly spoke softly, speaking in Yan language, but it was a bit difficult to pronounce:
“Li Junwu, are you so weird today because of what those lunatics said in the evening?”
Hearing this, Li Junwu frowned and glanced at the fairy-like woman from the Western Regions, and hummed:
“This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it?”
The woman from the Western Region smiled slightly:
“You and I are sitting on the same boat now, so it naturally has something to do with me.”
Li Junwu paused, staring at the desert goddess with a little amusement in his eyes, and said in a rustling voice:
“Jia Yi, don’t think that I don’t know what you want to do.”
The Western Region woman’s green eyes flickered for a moment and she chuckled:
"You are so wary of me, why don't you use the incarnation of Linlang as a cover? If it hadn't shielded this room, I'm afraid you would have been found by the traitors of our family, right?"
He said,
Jia Yi slowly lowered his eyes, leaned down and stretched out his hands to rub the belly of the big yellow dog at his feet. His chest was soft and pressed against his bare thighs, and his voice was slow and slow:
"It's really pitiful. He has returned to his home city, but he has no one he can trust. He can only wait until his father returns to the city with his troops."
Li Junwu was not angry after hearing this. He grabbed his long hair that was scattered in front of him and put it behind his ears, and retorted:
"No matter what, I, Li Junwu, am at least better than you, a desert goddess. I am being chased around like a wild dog. I want to recognize my master and ask for help, but in the end, they just want to kill you and eat dog meat."
He said,
Li Junwu's handsome black eyes flashed a warning, staring at the other person's graceful figure:
“Also, are you itchy again?”
Jia Yi’s delicate eyes froze slightly, and her chest rose and fell slightly. After forcing herself to calm down, she said slowly:
“Li Junwu, I don’t want to quarrel with you. Instead of speculating on your own, why not tell the matter and let’s find a solution together.”
ˆ “.”
A gust of warm wind penetrated into the room through the partially-hidden window lattice, blowing the long hair of the two women in silence.
Remembering the shouts he heard in the evening, Li Junwu bit his lips gently with a complicated expression, and unconsciously clenched his delicate hands into fists.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Jia Yi frowned slightly and asked slowly:
“What the crazy man shouted, is someone sending you a code?”
ˆ “.”
Li Junwu did not answer immediately. He walked forward slowly, walked to the bed and sat down side by side with the Desert Goddess. He lowered his eyes and his dense and curled eyelashes trembled slightly.
As if sensing something was wrong with this human woman's aura, the big yellow dog rolled around on the ground, then silently moved to the side and lay down.
Jia Yi looked at her dimple, remained silent for a while, and said slowly:
“It seems I guessed it right?”
Li Junwu took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Um"
“Then why don’t you respond?”
“Because he is dead.”
“Since he’s dead, it’s a trap.”
The Desert Goddess pursed her red lips, looked at the woman beside her, and took a deep breath: "We don't need to take this risk now."
Li Junwu put his fingers together and exerted a little force.
"But...only he and I know about this matter."
ˆ “.”
Silence spreads.
Li Junwu felt a little headache and raised his delicate hand to hammer the center of his brow. As if he had figured something out, he suddenly chuckled and said with a smile:
"Having caused trouble for thousands of years, I know that this guy won't die so easily, and I have been worried about it for so long."
Jia Yi’s slender feet gently rubbed against the rough wooden floor and said slowly:
“Do you trust that person?”
"certainly."
Li Junwu took it for granted and looked back with a gentle smile: "I'm going to send Cang Bei to get in touch with the bait that guy throws out."
Cangbei, Li Junwu’s only surviving bodyguard.
Hearing this, Jia Yi touched the ground with her crystal toes and said softly:
"I mean, even if we come into contact with that person, can it change the environment we are in? You must know that your Zhenxi Mansion has been completely infiltrated now."
While saying,
Jia Yi stretched out her slender hand and held Li Junwu’s wrist, and whispered quickly:
“If you can’t, you might as well consider my previous suggestion.”
Li Junwu raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the other person's hand holding his own:
“What’s your suggestion?”
"As long as your Zhenxi Mansion is willing to help me and help me gain control of the Tarchao Royal Court, I swear in the name of the Goddess of the Desert that there will be no more war in the Western Desert for a hundred years."
“Then I have to go out of the city with you to find the true form of Linlang?”
." Jia Yi.
Li Junwu chuckled and took Jia Yi's hand away from him, and said softly:
"Stop joking, do you think what you are saying is realistic? My father and I have no habit of raising self-respect for bandits, and you must know that our Zhenxi Army has a blood feud with you Tachao people."
While saying,
“Humph, that guy seems unreliable on weekdays, but on such a big matter, I believe him.
"Furthermore, the fact that he can guess that this girl is in this Zhenxi Mansion has already explained a lot of things. With his status, he should be able to do a lot of things."
Jia Yi stared at her back and insisted: "Isn't it possible that the person you mentioned is the spy of those who want to kill us?"
Li Junwu immediately looked back when he heard this, with a bit of amusement in his eyes, his voice was slightly longer, and he pursed his lips and smiled:
“He, even if you betray the Tachao people, he will not compromise with those sects.”
After the words fell, the room fell into silence.
The big yellow dog lay at the feet of the Desert Goddess, looking up at the two girls in the room with clear eyes and curiosity. From time to time, its wagging tail rubbed against the Goddess's exposed bronze calves.
"boom."
Jia Yi lightly kicked the dead dog and let it crawl away, then suddenly smiled softly at Li Junwu:
"If that person is who you say, then maybe we can break the situation."
Li Junwu bent his beautiful eyes and shrugged, put on a piece of clothing to cover the large area of exposed skin, threw another one to the Desert Goddess, and whispered:
“Put on your clothes, Cangbei should be back soon.”
Zhenxi Fucheng is really quiet at night.
Sitting in front of the threshold and looking up at the stars in the sky, a sound of horse hooves suddenly whistled from outside the courtyard door. Xu Yuan subconsciously found out his soul, but what was disappointing was that the person outside the courtyard was not the person he was waiting for, but a formation. Neatly mounted guards patrolling.
As far as the actual situation is concerned, the curfew system in Zhenxi Prefecture is somewhat stricter than that in Beifeng City.
Let’s not mention the right to kill pedestrians encountered at night and then report them later. In the event of a battle, they even have the right to break down the door and search without reason.
besides,
These patrolling cavalry captains passing by outside the gate all have authority tokens that can control part of the city defense formation.
The officials responsible for civil affairs and the city defense department in charge of the city defense formation are all displayed here.
But this may be a common problem in the major border towns of Great Yan.
The military governs the country.
It doesn’t matter what level of officials you are, you have to obey the orders of the army when you come here.
Everything puts war first.
There is no cicada chirping in the summer in the desert, only endless silence as far as the eye can see.
Hearing that silence had returned outside the door, Xu Yuan stopped looking up at the stars and began to close his eyes to rest.
The beautiful scenery that was rarely seen in the previous life is now a bit numb.
Time ticked by until midnight. Xu Yuan did not hear the expected knock on the door. Instead, the mounted guards strolled back to the courtyard door several times.
The sound of horse hooves is neither fast nor slow, clattering on the bluestone road, which can be heard far away in the night.
here we go again.
Listening to the noise outside, Xu Yuan used his spiritual vision to poke out the door, but the result he got was still the same as before.
Watching this group of conscientious mounted guards patrolling away, I was about to withdraw my spiritual vision when I suddenly noticed two figures appearing at the end of the alley.
The two figures were both very strong in cultivation. They were about ten feet away and arrived at the door of his courtyard in one leap.
Both of them wore black robes, with different styles, but they should all be robes. They have some effect of shielding perception, but they are almost ineffective against Xu Yuan's spiritual vision.
Zhou Chen and a strange young man.
As thoughts flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan saw that the strange young man wanted to jump over the wall and enter directly, but was pulled down by Zhou Chen and pointed at the door knocker.
When you see my young master, you have to knock on the door.
The young man’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
What time is it and you still knock on the door?
Zhou Chen had a matter-of-fact expression and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.
ˆ “.”
This week the Grand Master knows how to gain presence.
Xu Yuan opened his eyes in a funny way, and the voice rang in the ears of the two people outside the door at the same time:
“Just come in.”
There was an inaudible sound of robes flashing, and the two people outside the door landed in the square courtyard almost at the same time.
The strange young man’s eyes were scrutinizing.
After Zhou Chen landed, he knelt down and saluted:
“Sir, I’ve been brought here.”
ˆ “.”
Xu Yuan sat on the threshold, ignored Zhou Chen, and looked at the strange young man:
“Are you Li Junwu’s confidant?”
The strange young man slowly pulled down his robe and hat, revealing his resolute and handsome face, with star-like eyes, and bowed his hands:
“As ordered by the princess, I came to see the young master.”
Getting up and patting his gray-stained robe, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
“Now that you have seen her, can you tell me where she is?”
The resolute young man clenched his hands slightly while performing the Great Yan military salute and whispered:
“Before that, I have to confirm a question with you.”
“Your princess is really a little suspicious, please ask.”
ˆ “.”
The resolute young man pondered for a while, stared at Xu Yuan, and asked in a deep voice:
“The princess asked, who is she better than?”
"ha?"
Hearing this question, Xu Yuan was slightly startled. The afterglow of his eyes shone like a waterfall on his handsome face, with a hint of weirdness:
“What did you say she asked just now?”
ˆ “.”
The resolute young man did not answer. His starry eyes were alert and he quickly scanned the courtyard.
Xu Yuan saw this change in the other party and immediately said with a chuckle:
“Brother, don’t worry, I’m just a little surprised, it’s not that I can’t answer.”
“.” The resolute young man did not speak.
Feeling that the other party was facing a formidable enemy, Xu Yuan stopped talking nonsense, recalled a little, and replied slowly:
“Li Qingyan, or Wu Yuan.”
"yes."
“Humph. How childish.”
The code was correct, and Xu Yuan laughed subconsciously.
However, after seeing the young man’s somewhat hostile gaze, he stopped smiling and asked:
“What do you call brothers?”
The resolute young man took a deep breath and whispered:
“Young master, just call me Cangbei.”
Cangbei
He remembered that this seemed to be the number of a town in the Zhenxi Army.
After taking a look at the young man, Xu Yuan did not continue to ask for his name and returned to the topic:
“Cangbei, now that her identity has been confirmed, can you tell me where she is?”
