"One of the biggest gains of our trip is that we gained an ally in Shengze. Unexpectedly, he is a man with great ambitions and strategizing." This canyon on the west side of Xiayi stretches for hundreds of miles. The canyon is rugged and rocky. magnificent. Standing on the edge of the canyon, listening to the gurgling sound of water coming from down the canyon, and blowing the mountain wind in front of him, Yu Wenhan's body has not yet fully recovered, but there is a sense of urgency in his heart that "time has not waited for us".
After hearing Yu Wenhan's words, Yang Qingqiu looked at Yun Xi who was standing aside and coughed twice.
"Qingqiu, you don't need to be nervous. Yun Xi and I are already close friends, and we can confide in each other without any worries." Yu Wenhan patted the nervous Yang Qingqiu and comforted him. Although he could not recognize Yun Xi openly, Yu Wenhan still wanted to take care of Yun Xi as much as possible, no matter in what capacity.
"Thank you Prince Ping for your trust. I am also good friends with Prince Shengze. I am also very happy that you can become an ally with him." Yun Xi was sincerely happy when she heard that Yu Wenhan was discussing government affairs in front of her without any hesitation. I didn't expect that my brother would care about me so much. Even if we couldn't recognize each other, he would not pretend to be unfamiliar with each other after knowing each other's identities. Instead, he would try to get closer to him as much as possible, letting him know that the family ties are deep and he would always protect him. Own.
Yang Qingqiu felt a little uneasy. Although it could be inferred from Yun Xi's words and deeds that Yun Xi was kind-hearted, such lack of precautions was really not like Prince Ping's style. "Is it Prince Ping and her?" A thought flashed in Yang Qingqiu's mind, and Yang Qingqiu immediately shook his head. If this was true, Prince Ping would have told himself last night that this was completely nonsense.
"Yun Xi, do you know why there are rumors that Sheng Ze is a playboy?" Yu Wenhan looked at Yun Xi with a smile and asked softly.
"The young prince Shengze also chats with us on weekdays and seldom talks about the affairs of the desert ethnic group, but he is not a person who acts recklessly and without restraint. However, he also impressed me this time. I usually only know that he has courage and speaking. He is loyal, but he doesn’t know that he is also a man with a deep heart." Yun Xi explained carefully, "I have heard that Hada Khan has very strict requirements for the young prince. If he does not meet the standards, he will be punished corporally or locked up. In addition, Sheng Ze Her reputation is so great that women come to complain from time to time, making it known to everyone. I think the young prince may want to hide his sharp edge, so as not to make Hada Khan feel grudge."
Yang Qingqiu didn't expect that Yun Xi actually knew everything about them and told them everything, and every sentence was reasonable and clear. I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that in the past two days, Prince Ping had taken Yun Xi under his command and become their spy in the desert? If this is the case, considering Yun Xi's friendship with Princess Yunchuan and her not-so-prominent status, it is indeed an excellent move.
"Well, your analysis is not unreasonable. Although Shengze is informal, he has the overall situation in mind. As long as the safety of the Xiayi ethnic group is involved, he will kill quickly and decisively. He is by no means the uneducated and prodigal prince rumored by the outside world. Although I don't know why he hides his edge, but what is certain is that he does need more reliable allies." Yu Wenhan looked at Yun Xi with joy. She was still the smart and wise sister she was back then, and she did not give up on herself just because she fled to a foreign land. , but become more clear-minded, calm and calm.
"Why do you see that?" Yun Xi asked with a smile in his eyes. It was great that he could share their worries like before.
"You can understand if you think about the terrain Xia Yi is located in?" Yu Wenhan patiently guided Yun Xi to think about the answer behind it.
"Terrain?" Yun Xi has lived in the desert for nearly eight years. His uncle tried his best to keep himself away from disputes. He has never carefully analyzed the struggle for interests and the direction of the wind between the four major ethnic groups in the desert. When Yu Wenhan asked him, he It's really a bit confusing.
"The west side of Xiayi is hundreds of miles of canyon abyss, the north side is backed by Yunlong Mountain, the east side is separated from Huangbei by only a small mountain forest, and the south side is bordered by the border city." Yang Qingqiu also reminded, if Yunxi is King Ping's Agent, you really need to change your attitude.
"Oh, I understand." Yun Xi suddenly realized, "Huang Bei is eyeing the Xiayi. Across the mountains and forests is Pingchuan. The Xiayi is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so they can only rely on Tusang for protection. But on the terrain of Tusang, Xiayi Yi is a barrier between Tusang and Dawei. Although Tusang has been on good terms with Xiayi for generations, this is extremely risky. Only if Xiayi can secretly obtain the support of Dawei and annex Huangbei can they break through the predicament. Seek greater development.”
"Smart!" A bright smile rarely broke out on Yu Wenhan's pale face.
"It's a good reminder from you." Yun Xi was also a little elated, not only because he received praise from his brother, but also because he felt that he was still useful after all these years.
——————————————————————————————————
Yunchuan and Shengze walked towards the canyon and saw three tall figures from a distance. Yun Chuan clicked his tongue and praised: "The backs of these three are really beautiful, just like green pine trees. However, Qingqiu's back is even better looking, with an air of indomitableness. Sure enough, those who practice martial arts all year round are different."
Shengze waved his hand in front of Yun Chuan's eyes angrily, and said: "Women really have little experience. I should take you and Yun Xi to the Central Plains more. It's pitiful that you have seen the world, but you are so quickly dismissed. Others are confused. There are men like this all over the streets in the Central Plains. What’s so good about him? If Qingsong is so thin, can he stand upright?"
"Are you less jealous? You are just jealous that there are men who are better-looking than you in this world! You also said that I have less knowledge. I think it is you who have less knowledge!" Yun Chuan put aside the hand dangling in front of his eyes and counterattacked road.
"Am I jealous?! I don't know enough?!" Shengze said, getting even more angry. He pulled Yunchuan to stop, straightened Yunchuan's shoulders, made her look at him, and said angrily, "Open your eyes wide. Look, my nose is higher than Yang Qingqiu, my eyes are higher than Yang Qingqiu, my shoulders are wider and thicker than Yang Qingqiu, my arms are stronger than Yang Qingqiu, and my martial arts is no worse than Yang Qingqiu. I am more like the green pines and cypresses than he is, and I am more reliable!"
Yun Chuan looked at Shengze in surprise. He didn't hold back but laughed out loud. He stretched out a finger to lift Shengze's chin, tilted his head and looked at it, and said, "Don't say that. Listen to your description. , it is true that you are more beautiful, or our prairie men are better. When I have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, I will definitely find you a stunning beauty who is famous all over the capital, so that the people in the capital will also be more knowledgeable."
"It's just nonsense!" Shengze put away Yunchuan's "teasing" fingers, turned around and walked quickly towards the canyon.
"Hey, are you angry now? Why are you so stingy!" Yun Chuan hurriedly caught up, apologetically trying to please him while chasing, "Isn't it that I was wrong? You are so jealous! Our little prince Shengze has a Those who can take a boat! Our young prince Shengze is the most handsome man in the world!"
When Yu Wenhan and the other three heard Yun Chuan's small voice coming from the wind, they all turned around and saw Yun Chuan following Sheng Ze closely, running to the left and right, saying something flatteringly, The three of them looked confused.
"What are you two talking about?" Yun Xi trotted up to Sheng Ze and the others, stopped them and asked.
"Why am I flattering the young prince? You don't even know how many nice things I said, but he just doesn't appreciate it." Yunchuan said aggrievedly.
"What did you do to make our young prince angry?" Yun Xi asked in surprise.
"I didn't do anything. I just said..." Before Yunchuan could finish her sentence, Shengze glared at Yunchuan, preventing her from continuing.
"Okay, okay, I'm not joking anymore. What's wrong with you today? Why are you so angry? Isn't it because you didn't listen to your arrangements? The result will be the same!" This is the first time Yun Chuan saw Shengze with such a sharp look. Looking at himself, he suddenly muttered a little aggrievedly.
"What arrangement? My young prince, you also know Yunchuan's temperament. She is the most sincere to us. Why are you so angry with her?" Yun Xi protected Yunchuan and asked.
"Hey, he taught me a way to reject Changsun Ying more safely. I didn't listen. I used my own way." Yunchuan explained.
"You have the nerve to talk about your own ideas! Don't mention this in front of them later, it's pointless." Shengze turned and walked towards Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu.
"You two, what do you think of the scenery in Xiayi?" Shengze saluted and asked.
At this moment, there was no trace of any angry expression on Shengze's face. Yun Chuan sighed in his heart, "This man really turns his back faster than a woman."
Yu Wenhan and Yang Qingqiu bowed their hands in return, and Yu Wenhan smiled and replied: "The canyon on the west side is majestic, and the mountain peaks on the north side are shrouded in clouds and mist. It is a combination of hardness and softness. It is indeed a wonder."
Shengze nodded and smiled, looked sideways at Yang Qingqiu, and asked, "What do you think, Brother Yang?"
"The rocks are jagged and uncanny," Yang Qingqiu replied.
"Sure enough, people from the Central Plains can still speak. I have lived here for more than ten years, and I have never thought about these words. No wonder it is so easy to trick the women here." Shengze couldn't help but sneered and looked aside. The nymphomaniac Yunchuan sneered.
Yang Qingqiu lowered his head unnaturally and took a step back from Yu Wenhan. When Yun Chuan saw this, he thought Yang Qingqiu was embarrassed, and quickly defended him: "Little prince, that's enough. I know you protect your family, but you can't belittle my vision like that. They are already very good."
Shengze glanced at Yunchuan angrily, and then asked Yu Wenhan: "I think you have almost recovered. Have you ever thought about leaving?"
"Why are you pushing people away?" Yun Chuan said anxiously.
"Yunchuan, we have been disturbing you for a long time, and the Centennial Snow Lotus matter does involve a lot. We can't stay any longer. We plan to set off early tomorrow morning." Yu Wenhan said.
"Ah, so fast?" Yun Chuan looked at the silent Yang Qingqiu with some disappointment.
"At last you are all understanding people." Shengze glanced at Yunchuan again angrily, "There was no danger this time. We are friends in need. Tonight I will hold a banquet in the moonlight flower field of Yulong Mountain to honor You two practice it."
"Okay, the moonlight flower has bloomed." Yun Chuan said, thinking that he couldn't keep this moment, so he should cherish the moment.
"How do you know? Have you gone to see it?" Shengze asked.
Yun Chuan was just about to say that he and Qingqiu had already seen each other, but Yang Qingqiu spoke first and said: "The day we came back, we worked hard. Both horses couldn't hold on, so we kept a little news at the foot of Yulong Mountain."
"Yes, I just took a look and it was open very well." Yunchuan said knowingly, "Everything should be open tonight, and the moon is still full tonight, so it will be more beautiful."
"Humph." Shengze couldn't help but feel a little angry. The night of the Yunshi Conference was the night when the moon was full. It turned out that Yunchuan and others had already enjoyed the flowers with others and the moon was full. He had been busy for more than half a year, but he made wedding clothes for others. .
