Yunchuan went to see the huge stone that rolled down to the Yuezhi tribe. No one knew whether the pits on it were really a map of the Central Plains. As for the treasure legend, she had indeed heard about it, but the stories in these notebooks were not enough to be accepted even by Weedon Khan. However, today I saw Wang Chengyu finding an abbot in a serious manner, which made Yunchuan a little confused: his father brought most of the generals to the Yuezhi tribe this time, and even his mother, who rarely showed up, accompanied him. The grandeur of the matter must have been too great.

"Yun Xi, what do you think about the Yun Shi Conference?" Yun Chuan turned around and found Yun Xi sitting at the window in a daze, "Yun Xi, what's wrong with you? How many times have you been so soulless tonight? "Yunchuan patted Yun Xi on the shoulder.

Yun Xi came back to her senses and looked at Yun Chuan, tears welling up in her eyes. This frightened Yunchuan, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong? Aren't you very happy these days? Why are you crying suddenly?"

Yun Xi said slowly: "The two men just now are the two men I have often mentioned to you since I was a child. The man in white, Wenhan, is my cousin Yu Wenhan, and the man in green, Yang Qingyu, is Brother Yang whom I have often mentioned to you."

"Ah! Look at my memory, why do these two names sound so familiar to me!" This is really what I'm afraid of! When she met Yun Xi eight years ago, her father told her that she was her distant cousin who came here because her family fell into disgrace. When the two got acquainted, Yun Xi slowly told her his true life experience. Although the water, soil and climate of the grassland have greatly changed Yun Xi's appearance, her life experience must not be revealed.

"Then do you want to get to know each other? Didn't you say that they have taken good care of you since childhood? Then this is a good thing. This is what we call 'after all hardships, happiness comes'. So, you still have to thank me. If I hadn't made things difficult today, they don't even know where they are now!" Yun Chuan was even happier than Yun Xi.

In the past few years, only Yun Chuan knew how miserable Yun Xi had been. Although Yun Xi has always been calm, elegant and gentle, after Yun Xi secretly revealed her life experience to Yun Chuan, Yun Chuan realized how desperate and difficult she was during those days. These two brothers who were often mentioned during Duan's suffering days were Yun Xi's concerns and thoughts. Thinking back carefully now, although these two men Yun Chuan have never met each other, they are still familiar to each other: their status in the family, their knowledge, and their childhood embarrassments. Sometimes when I think about it, it feels like I have grown up with them.

"Do you think I can recognize each other now? My father was slandered and usurped power, and his life and death are still unknown. My uncle took him all the way to Tusang, allowing me to completely forget the past and keep my name anonymous. It was also in the past four years that I finally came out slowly. . Can I return to the identity of 'Yu Wenxi' in an honest and fair manner? How much do they know about what happened eight years ago? Will there be greater danger after we meet each other?" As he spoke, Yun Xi couldn't stop crying. The residence fell.

"Yun Xi, don't be so sad. Now we are in the dark and they are in the open. Let's test it out tomorrow. How many times have I told you whether you can live an upright life? No matter what your previous status was, you You will always be Tusang Princess Ashina. Yunchuan's best friend and sister, you can live however you want in this life!" Yunchuan comforted her and wiped away her tears.

"Someone's coming, killing someone, killing someone!" Suddenly, a scream came from the window. Yun Chuan and Yun Xi opened the door and ran over with the crowd after hearing the sound. When they arrived, the door of the room where the incident occurred was already surrounded by people.

Yun Chuan saw Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyuan among the crowd, and thought of their relationship with Yun Xi, which was more intimate than meeting a close friend after drinking, so he jumped up to greet them, and held Yun Xi's hand to squeeze in. He squeezed forward and asked anxiously: "What's wrong, what happened?" Yu Wenhan was surprised to see Yun Xi's red eyes still filled with tears, and asked: "You guys?" Yun Xi immediately changed his gaze and asked : "Did anyone really die?"

"Aren't these two people from the bully Wang just now?" The two people lying in the pool of blood were the people brought by Wang Chengyu. One fell on the threshold and the other fell in the room. There was a fishy smell in the large pool of blood. There was also a monk in the room who was twirling Buddhist beads in one hand, lowering his head and reciting "Amitabha Amitabha".

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Several people shouted while pushing away the surrounding crowd. Yun Chuan was also pushed hard by someone. He almost stumbled because his feet were unsteady, and his hand was hit by a calloused hand. After pulling him back and bumping into a thick chest, Yunchuan finally stood up straight.

Yun Chuan's little hand trembled, and he turned his head sharply. The face of the person holding him was only a hair away, and they were almost face to face. Yun Chuan's heart was scratched as if a cat had scratched him. He thought, "How dare you take advantage of me." He raised his hand and slapped the opponent. The other party also reacted quickly, holding Yun Chuan's wrist and saying, "What do you want to do? "

Only then did Yun Chuan realize that this person was Yang Qingyun. It turned out that he was also trying to support him, and since he was dressed in men's clothing, this was not considered offensive. But thinking of the hand he had just held and the chest that was pressed against him, Yun Chuan couldn't help but his ears turned red, but he could only pretend to be nonchalant and said: "I, I thought it was you who hit me!"

Yang Qingyuan let go of her raised hand, glanced at her, and then looked coldly into the room. Wang Chengyu was shouting at the master of the precepts: "Who did it! Who did it!" The master of the precepts did not react as if he had not heard. He twisted his beads and recited "sin, sin, sin" silently.

"What's the crime? I asked who killed them?!!!" Wang Chengyu roared.

"Donor, greed, anger, and ignorance are the three poisons, which are the root of suffering. I hope the benefactor will let the poor monk go back. Don't try to explore the mystery of the treasure, which may lead to death!" the master of precepts said in a low voice.

Wang Cheng became more and more angry when he heard this: "My father has one hundred thousand elite soldiers here, and now the Khan of Tunisia Weiton personally invites the current Holy Lord to attend the Yunshi Conference. The Holy Lord personally ordered my father to supervise this matter. Whoever wants to be my enemy is To be an enemy of the current Holy One and to block my way is to be an enemy of Tuosang, the largest grassland ethnic group! Let me see today, who has the courage?"

When Yu Wenhan heard this, he frowned and thought: It turns out that Wang Chengyu is the son of Wang Yu, the general who guarded the Thirteen Cities at the Border. Unexpectedly, the son of the general, who was always known as a loyal and filial man, would be so domineering and lawless.

At this time, Wang Chengyu's men hurried back, squeezed through the crowd, and said breathlessly: "Run away, but when I jumped out of the window to chase people, I saw this." After saying that, he handed over a token. Wang Chengyu saw the token , his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly put it away and stuffed it into his pocket.

The subordinates hurriedly said: "Sir, this situation is not good. Let's report it to the official immediately."

Wang Chengyu glared and said: "What official should I apply for? I am the biggest official here!"

"Yes, yes, then, do we still want to go to the desert tomorrow?" his subordinate asked nervously.

"Why don't you go?" Wang Chengyu pressed the token in his arms with his hand and took a deep breath and said, "This is the first time I have run an errand for the current emperor, so you can't ruin my good deeds!"

"Then I will send someone to report this matter to the general? Maybe he can send us some more people?" the subordinate said while bowing.

"Yes, ask my father to send more elite soldiers to us. Maybe I will make a great contribution this time..." Wang Chengyu's nervous expression suddenly became a little proud. He looked up and saw the crowd outside the door crowded with spectators. Then he suddenly roared, "Why don't you hurry up and get rid of all these people! And get rid of the corpses in this room as soon as possible."

The men immediately attacked the people, and the people watching outside the door began to talk: "This is obviously an attempt to rob the master of precepts and keep the treasure for himself. In the end, people were not robbed and some people were killed."

"It does make sense, so this treasure is not a rumor!"

"By the way, do you see clearly what that man brought back? Wang Chengyu's face turned so ugly!"

"I didn't see it clearly. It's a dark patch. Seeing how nervous they are, it must be something big!"

Finally, the crowd gradually dispersed, and only the four of them from Yunchuan walked slowly to the porch, each with their own thoughts.

This token, which everyone talked about a lot, was made of black stone and engraved with a wolf seal totem. Yunchuan recognized it at a glance. This token was the elite cavalry token of the Tusang tribe. Tusang's elite cavalry is a famous eagle on the grassland, invincible and invincible. Yunchuan's uncle Helian Qiji serves as its general.

Yun Chuan looked at Yun Xi with some uneasiness. Both of them were very puzzled. This 700-year-old treasure was rumored to be rarely mentioned in modern times. At that time, when they heard that a marble conference was going to be held, they just said that it was a strange stone landscape to invite the world to enjoy. Forget it, the treasure is just gossip, skip a sentence. Then why are the elite cavalry here? Do you really want to kidnap the Master of Precepts to study some treasure?

Yu Wenhan and the other two did not notice this token, but said strangely: "Someone died in the Biancheng Inn here, and everyone acted as if they hadn't seen it. They didn't report the funeral to the official, and the innkeeper didn't show up. Could it be that here Is there no royal law?"

Yun Chuan replied contemptuously: "Although I haven't been here much, I still know the situation here. There is a mix of fish and dragons here, and there are fights and troubles every day. Everyone is accustomed to it. As for the king's law, it also depends on who is here. You have the final say, right?”

Yu Wenhan also heard that the situation at the border was complicated, and they were often raided and robbed by the Xia Yi ethnic groups on the border. However, the news the court received was that General Wang Yu was able to guard it effectively, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there was prosperity. Yu Wenhan asked puzzledly: "Our government has a very strict legal system and never engages in malpractice for personal gain. But in the border towns, where the forces are mixed, it is indeed very difficult to manage."

"Hey, don't you think that these forces are all coming here to bully the people of Wei Dynasty?" Yunchuan shook his head and said helplessly: "I don't deny that there are indeed some idlers in the desert. We also despise people who croak like cocks, dogs and thieves. But look, I can come to the border town with arrogance, which shows that this place is not afraid of us and welcomes us. There is a ballad here, you must have never heard of it. 'My heart feels sad when the sun rises, and I fear I won't be able to return home when the sun sets. I would rather marry the Mobei Han than get close to the official camp.'"

Yu Wenhan was speechless for a moment. Although he was born within a high wall, he was still aware of the situation in the world. What I saw and heard today was indeed beyond what I heard.

At this time, the shopkeeper finally appeared, and brought a few people up slowly, carrying two stretchers to dispose of the body. Yun Chuan stopped the shopkeeper from going and asked sarcastically: "Shopkeeper, you've finally shown up. People are killed in your shop. How can we live here?"

The shopkeeper still had a good face and said with a smile: "Which store in our city has never killed anyone? I think you, guest sir, are from the desert. You believe in the Immortal Heaven. This life and death are determined by fate. It doesn't get in the way. It doesn't get in the way." "

Yun Chuan shrugged, glanced at Yu Wenhan, and told him with his eyes that this was the border town in reality. Yu Wenhan asked: "Then why didn't you report it to the official? Who has no parents, brothers and sisters? How can you explain to the family of the deceased?"

"This guest officer is really joking, reporting officer? Don't you know who their master is? Who can control him?" The shopkeeper was already a little impatient, but still had a professional smile on his face: "You can do it Okay, let me go quickly, I will be scolded if I go in! Everyone, please go to bed early and don’t spoil your interest when you go out for fun. Why bother worrying about such trivial matters? "

The shopkeeper and his people were about to take a detour, but Yang Qingyuan blocked the way. The shopkeeper looked up and saw a murderous aura. Yang Qingyuan said coldly: "If you don't say that murder and arson are common here, then if I kill someone today, I won't." Don't you need to be punished by the king?" The shopkeeper was suddenly shocked, why did these stupid young men still get into trouble, so he had to hand over his hand and beg for mercy. Yu Wenhan sighed and said, "Let him pass." Yang Qingyuan took a step back, and the shopkeeper ran away as if relieved.

Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingyuan were about to leave. Yun Chuan looked at Yun Xi, who was looking at him with regret, and said quickly: "I have lost all my sleep because of their troubles! Are you sleepy? Do you want to watch the sunrise in the border town?"

Yun Xi said knowingly: "It's already the second watch, are you two brothers sleepy? We know there is a hill nearby, which is perfect for watching the sunrise, and you can also see the camellias blooming all over the mountain."

Seeing the hesitation of the two of them, Yun Chuan hurriedly stepped forward and joked: "There are some things that I can't help, but I believe that God will take care of them, so you don't have to be so gloomy. I guarantee that when you see the sunrise scenery over there, you will suddenly feel relieved." Be cheerful, and all worries will be forgotten like a passing cloud!"

Yu Wenhan couldn't help but smile slightly. The little brother in front of him didn't know what magic power he had. He could always clear away the dark clouds in his heart with just three words, making him let down his guard involuntarily. And this voice and smile were as warm and familiar as the close relative eight years ago. "Okay!" Yu Wenhan replied loudly.
