Yang Qingyuan walked to the entrance of his yurt and found a faint fire inside. He opened the curtain door and went in. Helian Qiji was sitting inside.
"General Helian, how long have you been waiting?" Yang Qingyuan was not surprised.
"Haha, it didn't take long." Helian Qiji raised his eyes and replied, "I chatted with Changsun Ying for a while, and then I came to your place."
"Then I'll bid farewell to General Helian, and I'll leave at five o'clock." Yang Qingyuan cupped his hands and saluted.
"Why, you didn't ask how you cleaned up the mess after the competition with Changsun Ying?" Helian asked with a sinister smile on his lips.
"General Helian actually took action in person, so there won't be any problems." Although Yang Qingyuan's words were complimentary, his expression was still indifferent, as if it was none of his own business.
"I can't guarantee this. You may not know much about Changsun Ying." Helian abandoned his admiration of the tea cup on the table and said, "But you did a good job in this matter. You have made a great contribution to Prince Ping."
Yang Qingyuan stood silently aside, the filament of the fire squeaking.
"Although Prince Ping did not come to the Yunshi Conference in person this time, it is indeed a great blessing to have you as a good helper." Helian Qiji stood up, patted Yang Qingyuan on the shoulder, and said close to his ear, "You can tell Prince Chen when you get back. , once you take action tonight, it will be impossible to achieve the grassland alliance."
"With General Helian stepping in to 'comfort' Changsun Ying, there won't be any change." Yang Qingyuan and Helian Qiji looked at each other sharply.
Although Helian Qiji admired Yang Qingyuan's talent, he disliked this cold and arrogant look. He sneered and said, "If you really want to marry Yun Chuan, I can help you. This will also be good for our plan. of."
"Thank you, General, for your kindness. No need." Yang Qingyuan glanced at the scar on his left cheek. It was like a ravine deeply embedded in his face. This face that was once youthful and energetic now only has a scar that matches the scar. Cool and cool.
"When you say 'no', do you mean you don't need my help, or can you handle it yourself?" Helian raised the corners of his mouth and looked sidelong at Yang Qingyuan with sharp eyes.
"General, you know my mission, what do you think I should mean?" Yang Qingyuan looked at Helian Qiji with a straight face, as cold as a rock.
"Oh, okay. Whether you are interested in Yunchuan or not, I can help you." Helian Qiji whispered, quickly looked Yang Qingyun up and down, then raised his head and left, "Have a nice trip, please help me Say hello to King Ping."

At the fifth watch, at the west entrance of the Yuezhi tribe, Yun Chuan was leading two horses, and Yang Qingyuan was walking quickly over.
"Have all your things packed with you." Yun Chuan smiled like a spring breeze and greeted him, "Let's try to hurry up and get to Xiayi tonight."
"Well, let's go." Yang Qingyuan nodded and led a horse. His heart was like a flying arrow, and he was ready to go.
Galloping all the way, under the moonlight, Yun Chuan looked sideways at Yang Qingyuan. He seemed to be more eager than when he came. "I hope that after Yu Wenhan is cured, he can ride a horse with Yang Qingyun and enjoy the beautiful scenery here easily." Yunchuan thought to himself.
From the stars and the moon to the scorching sun, Yunchuan and his wife had almost traveled for most of the journey, and then they stopped for a short rest next to a forest.
Yun Chuan handed Yang Qingyuan some dry food and water and asked with concern: "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired." Yang Qingyuan took the things and found an open space to sit down, leaving Yun Chuan standing there. Yun Chuan was a little disappointed, shrugged and followed, sitting down next to Yang Qingyuan.
Yang Qingyuan instinctively wanted to move to the side, but before he could take action, Yunchuan immediately jumped up again, handed the food in his hand to Yang Qingyuan, and said loudly: "Hold these for me, I will also bring I’ve got some dried meat, which is better than dry food. Just wait, I’ll get it.”
Yang Qingyuan took the food blankly, looked at Yunchuan's brisk back, and thought that this girl was really energetic. She hadn't slept for several nights and was already exhausted, but she was thinking about Yu Wenhan, so she had to cheer up, but Yunchuan But he is always in high spirits and full of energy.
"Come and see what this is!" Yun Chuan suddenly shouted, pointing in the direction of the woods.
Yang Qingyuan put down his things and walked over quickly. As soon as he got closer, he smelled a smell of blood and stink. Yun Chuan was already covering his nose.
"You stand behind me, I'll go take a look." Yang Qingyuan stopped Yun Chuan, who wanted to find out, with his right hand and protected him by his side.
"I'm with you. I won't be afraid as long as you are here." Yun Chuan looked at the broad shoulders in front of him, feeling extremely at ease and saying sweetly with eyes full of sweetness.
It turned out to be Wang Chengyu's envoy team. More than a dozen people, including Wang Chengyu, all died in the woods.
"Who did it? Why did you kill them?" Yunchuan was a little frightened. No wonder no envoy from Dawei showed up at the Yunshi Conference except Yang Qingyuan.
Thinking of what He Lian Qiji said, Yang Qingyuan took a breath of air. Was he really just trying to protect himself and Prince Ping?
"They will appear here like this? They shouldn't take this road. They can only take this road when starting from Xiayi, but they can't pass by Xiayi." Yunchuan frowned and picked up a few branches with branches. There was a corpse and he said, "The money is all there, it's not that it was robbed."
"Maybe he offended someone." Yang Qingyuan looked at the traces of fighting around him. They were basically all killed in one move, and the purpose was very obvious.
"Are these officials of the imperial court? According to Wang Chengyu's character, he will definitely declare his family status to intimidate the other party. Who would kill everyone knowing his identity?" Although Yunchuan did not like Wang Chengyu, he never thought of taking his life. Now it seems that He and the innocent soldiers lay dead in the wilderness, feeling sad for each other.
"Who do you think it could be?" Seeing Yunchuan's thoughtfulness, Yang Qingyuan asked tentatively.
"I don't know either. I just hope that his death has nothing to do with the desert." Yunchuan saw that Wang Chengyu and his party died tragically on the way, but the master of precepts who was originally traveling with him had already arrived at Yuezhi safe and sound, which made her feel that this matter There seemed to be another hidden secret, but she didn't dare to think any further.
"Do you think I should inform my father immediately?" Yun Chuan looked up at Yang Qingyuan and asked suddenly.
"Not only do you need to inform your father, but when you arrive in Xiayi at night, you also need to quickly inform the young prince Shengze to deal with these corpses, so as not to get involved with Xiayi." Yang Qingyuan counted the number of corpses and confirmed them from their clothes. their official positions and identities.
"Are you saying that someone might have deliberately lured them here to create the illusion that they had broken into Xiayi territory, and blamed Xiayi for their deaths?" Yunchuan thought about it and it was indeed possible.
"Well, it is indeed possible." Yang Qingyuan nodded.
"Then let's leave quickly so that Shengze can inform my father as soon as possible. The relationship between Xiayi and Dawei is complicated to begin with, but we can't bear the blame anymore." Yunchuan didn't care about anything else, and pulled Yang Qingyuan to get on the horse quickly.
————————————————————————
About three hours later, it was already evening, and Yulong Mountain was already in front of us, with the setting sun and the snow-capped mountains flying in the sky. The horse was overwhelmed and its speed had gradually slowed down.
"Yunchuan, let the horse rest." Yang Qingyuan said loudly.
"Okay, let's cross the Jade Dragon Mountain and take a rest at the foot of the Xiayi border." Yunchuan replied.
This is the place where several of them were assassinated three days ago. The surroundings have returned to silence, except for the calls of birds from time to time on the mountain.
Recalling the day he was attacked, Yun Chuan suddenly remembered that he had not slept well for three days. When he dismounted, he felt dizzy and almost missed the ride, causing his whole body to lean to one side.
A strong and powerful arm held Yun Chuan firmly, and Yun Chuan's whole body fell on the hot and generous chest. "It's so warm. I really want to lie down and sleep like this." Yun Chuan was in a trance for a while, and his body became heavier and heavier.
"Are you okay?" Yang Qingyuan helped Yun Chuan up, and suddenly felt that the woman who had just fallen into his arms had become fragile.
"I, I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy just now. Maybe I'm a little tired." Yunchuan patted his head, cheered up, and smiled slightly, "I'll be fine after just sitting for a while."
"Okay, I'm going to find a piece of land." Yang Qingyuan quickly avoided Yunchuan's tender eyes, walked away and looked around.
"Hey, how about we go to the Moonlight Flower Field on the mountainside? There is a pavilion there. We can rest for half an hour, lest I fall to the ground before I can hold on to the tribe. And our horses also ran away today. It's too fierce, and it doesn't look good." Yunchuan stroked the two horses, took some water and sprinkled it on them to cool down. The horses also looked exhausted, with their heads hanging down.
"Okay." Yang Qingyuan looked back at Yunchuan, her small face was particularly flushed by the setting sun, but her big eyes were drooped, without their previous look. But as soon as the word "good" came out of his mouth, Yunchuan's drooping eyes immediately lit up again. He ran over and pulled up Yang Qingyuan's sleeves, as if his whole body had been activated.
"Look, the flowers are blooming, they are so beautiful." Yun Chuan shouted excitedly, picked up Yang Qingyuan and ran quickly to the flower field.
The moonflower is indeed beautiful. The heart-shaped petals are clustered into a huge flower, which is colorful and fragrant. The green heart-shaped leaves are winding and weaving, lingering and shadowy.
"Isn't it wonderful? A kind of flower that is close to each other." Yun Chuan knelt down and sniffed it. "It smells so good! I am so happy to see such a large field of moonlight flowers."
Yang Qingyuan sat under the pavilion, enjoying a rare moment of peace these days. Watching Yun Chuan excitedly caress each blooming moon flower. Yang Qingyuan was a little touched: Is happiness really that simple? Seeing a blooming flower can make you so happy.
Yun Chuan stood up and looked back at Yang Qingyuan. He was wearing a green robe and sitting upright, standing in the mountains. His hair was blowing slightly in the wind and fell on his face, without any dust stain. A red cloud reflected behind him, and the clouds rolled and rolled around him. Looking at him. Yun Chuan looked at it as if he were approaching a painting, so beautiful and fairy-like that he couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Yang Qingyuan asked in confusion.
"It's so beautiful when you sit here, like a painting. Like a magnolia fairy coming out of the red clouds, standing tall and cool, with extraordinary bearing." Yun Chuan praised with a smile.
The first time he heard so many compliments, Yang Qingyun raised her head in embarrassment: "Aren't you tired and want to take a rest?"
Yun Chuan narrowed his crescent moon eyes, jumped over and sat down next to him, and joked: "I really want to find a good-looking person to keep me company. After watching you for a long time, I'm not tired anymore."
"Then let's go." Yang Qingyuan stood up quickly.
"Hey, I can't even praise you." Yun Chuan hurriedly tugged on his sleeves and said hopefully, "Let me sit for a while and leave in half an hour, okay?"
Yang Qingyuan sat down helplessly again. It was the first time he was so close to Yunchuan. The fragrance of the girl mixed with the fragrance of the moonflower floated over, making his straight waist unable to move any more.
"Do you know why I like moonflowers?" Yun Chuan looked up at the handsome and cold silhouette, filled with sweetness.
"Why?" Yang Qingyuan asked.
"I didn't know before, but now I know. Because you look like Moonlight Flower." Yunchuan looked at the flower field, thinking about everything Yun Xi told him when he was a child. He was good-looking and stubborn. The little boy who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside is now sitting next to him, "Moonlight Flower blooms in the cold night, lonely and cold, neither fighting nor fighting, neither noisy nor flashy. But the heart-shaped petals and leaves contain a deep sense of nostalgia. And friendship. I like these flowers, and after I met you, I fell in love with you."
Yun Chuan's voice became quieter and quieter, and slowly only the sound of even breathing could be heard. Before he finished speaking, he had already tilted his head and fell asleep on Yang Qingxuan's shoulder. The long eyelashes flickered slightly, and the blush on her face gradually faded. In order for her to sleep more soundly, Yang Qingyuan had to stretch out his arms to support Yun Chuan's thin shoulders, and Yun Chuan even arched into his arms.
"What feelings do I have for her? Is it use? Is it sustenance? Or..." Yang Qingyuan was also a little unclear.
