"What you said seems to make sense, so let's stay here for two days and see what happens."
After Murong Yanyi finished answering, he didn't notice that the subordinate who just spoke had a strange look in his eyes.
Relying on the newly added identity information, Murong Yanyi and his party settled down. After two days of observation, they found that Datang's main energy was searching for his traces outside the city, and there was almost no inspection inside the city. He was very happy that he The decision was the right one.
Looking at the temporary peace here, he felt that if the inn was inspected too many times, the secret would be exposed sooner or later, so he decided to give up living in the inn and instead spend money to buy a small house to live in.
After all, he had been living in Tubo for so long, so he still had some courage and wisdom. After some negotiation, Murong Yanyi spent half of his money to buy a small yard.
"Master, after we buy the yard, what should we do with peace?"
Murong Yanyi thought for a while: "Don't go out for now, wait and see."
"yes"
Murong Yanyi and his party began to clean up the courtyard. He did not know that just after he bought the courtyard, the person who sold his courtyard was next to Jia Xu in a restaurant not far from his courtyard.
This restaurant is a 3-story wooden Tang-style building. It is a stronghold of the Jinyi Guards of the Tang Dynasty. Its purpose is to monitor, supervise and inspect the movements of Tuyuhun and serve as a contact point for the branch of the Western Regions. Not many people know about it.
"Sir, the house has been sold to them."
"Well, the other party is not suspicious, right?"
"My subordinate saw the other party's eagerness and slightly increased the price, but the other party wouldn't notice it."
"Well, you did a good job, keep lurking."
"promise"
Jia Xu glanced at the courtyard where Murong Yanyi lived, and then stopped to rest in the restaurant.
Compared with Jia Xu's tea break, Murong's sad life was not good. In order to find Murong Yanyi, he and his people wandered back and forth on the road from Tuyuhun to the Western Regions every day. After several days of tossing, both man and horse reached their limit.
Even with the black gauze in his pocket on his head, his face was still tanned and dry by the blazing sun. This was still the sunshine at noon in spring. When night fell, the cold set in, and the temperature difference between day and night was huge. This was severe for everyone. test.
"Master, this can't go on like this. Both humans and horses have reached their limits."
Murong Youchou held the water bag in his hand, took a sip of water and took a moment to calm down. He looked at his stumbling subordinates and the horses that had lost a lot of weight. Only a trace of reason left told him that things could no longer go on. Murong Yanyi After all, just relying on searching like this is not enough. Both the personnel and the horses need to rest, otherwise the gain outweighs the loss. He nodded reluctantly: "Let's go back after a rest."
"yes"
Murong sadly evacuated toward his tribe's camp at sunset with disappointment. On the way, he met a group of Tang Dynasty's Jinyi Guards. More than 100 people rode horses towards the west. Looking at the Tang Dynasty's Jinyi Guards, his eyes were filled with joy. It's anger.
Teams from both sides pass each other

The team of Jin Yiwei cavalry returned from Tufanjian. Murong looked at the Jin Yiwei who had turned back and frowned. He knew that he wanted to take revenge, but now was not the time. Jin Yiwei had strict internal discipline under Li Mingda's governance. During the execution of the mission, They will not pay attention to people passing by on the roadside, unless there are special circumstances, such as they suspect that you are involved in the crime.
Looking at the Jinyi Guards surrounding him, Murong Youchou signaled to his subordinates not to be impulsive. He tried his best to squeeze out a smile and greeted Qianhu, the leader of the Jinyi Guards who surrounded him.
"Master Qianhu, I don't know why you blocked my way back."
Qian Hu, who was leading the team, carefully looked at Murong Anxie and asked, "Which tribe are you from?"
Murong Angui said: "I am Murong's chariot from Murong's own clan"
Qianhu: "Looking at the emaciated appearance of the servants and horses, have you encountered any trouble?"
Um?
Looking at the other party's concerned eyes, Murong Youchou paused for a moment. Could it be that the other party saw that his group was in trouble and thought they were in trouble, so he kindly helped?
"I heard that there was a reward for capturing Murong Yanyi, so I ran away for a little longer."
Listening to Murong's sad explanation, Qianhu suddenly became interested: "So, have you found any clues?"
Murong Youchou pretended to be disappointed, but actually he looked very disappointed: "Well, I didn't find any trace, so I can only go back."
Qianhu: "How long have you been looking here?"
Murong Anyouchou knew that lying could easily reveal the truth and told the other party directly: "It's been ten days since I received the news and I went out, and I've been hanging around here for about seven days."
After hearing Murong's sad words, Qianhu of the Jin Yiwei frowned and thought for a while, and then muttered: "It has been more than ten days, and I have been guarding this only way to the Western Region for seven days without seeing anyone. Follow the situation of the tribesmen and horses in the seven days. Same, then it proves that Murong Yanyi has not come here at all, and is probably hiding there, and has not even left the detention center yet."
After Qianhu finished talking, he handed over his hands to Murong Youyou: "Thank you for the news, brother. When we catch Murong Yanyi and get the reward, we will definitely have a drink with our brothers. Brothers, come back with me. Our target is probably behind us."
"Yes, Lord Chihu"

After turning back to more than 100 Jin Yiwei, Murong Youchou and others ate a mouthful of dust, and his heart was still beating wildly.
I didn't expect that so many tribesmen, royal guards and border troops were waiting for Murong Yanyi's great achievement. If Murong Yanyi walked on this empty land, he would probably be caught before he could get here. , unless he hid early in the morning, or even failed to escape from seclusion at all.
(〃> dishes<)
He couldn't let them know about Murong Yanyi first, otherwise his plan would be over and would never be realized.
"Master, listening to what that Jin Yiwei Qianhu said, have we really found the wrong place?"
Murong Youchou gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Yes, maybe 80% of it is like this. We underestimated the power of the Tang Dynasty Jinyiwei and those traitorous tribes. With such an intensive search, Murong Yanyi probably looks like that Jinyiwei Qianhu You can't get here at all like you said, where are you hiding?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, there are quite a lot of talents in the Imperial Guards. With this little information, they can guess what the imperial eagle dog is, huh."
Aojiao returned to Aojiao, Murong Youyou called his troops and continued to move in the direction of his tribe.
After returning to his tribe's camp and resting well for two days, Murong Youchou was about to go out when he heard hurried footsteps outside his tent. One of his confidants ran in and shouted: "Master, Murong Yanyi has been found. "
