It was less than half a day's journey from the border. Not long after walking forward, small military tents set up on the sandy road surface were already in sight.
Gu Xiaotian was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "If I had traveled with Wang Yuan, would he have survived?"
Qu Xiaohan shook his head, "I'll probably be able to return to the border alive, but I'll still die later."
Gu Xiaotian stopped talking. He had regretted too many things along the way. He was no longer the same as before. He just wanted to get an answer and maybe feel better.
After half a day, Gu Xiaotian and his party arrived at their destination.
In the north, there are Yanyun and thousands of miles of yellow sand, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Although it is a bitterly cold place in the far north, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
Yanyun is considered an important military place among the Eight Wastelands, not only because the generals in the palace are all Yanyun people, but also because it has Wanlisha, one of the Quarter Alliance's best at fighting.
Therefore, the military quality of everyone here cannot be said to be much better than those individuals who claim to be warriors, but turn around and run away when they encounter danger.
Arriving in front of the city gate, the two men standing guard immediately blocked the way and stared at them eagerly.
On the observation deck, another guard was ready to sound the alarm at any time.
Gu Xiaotian repeatedly handed over his hands and said, "One of my own."
The two guards on guard obviously didn't believe it. They thrust their spears forward, pointed at Gu Xiaotian and said: "In the important land of Yanyun, if you don't have customs clearance documents, you will be treated as a reactionary."
This is a bit embarrassing for Gu Xiaotian. He just wants to come to the border to have a look, but he really doesn't have the customs clearance documents or anything like that.
In the past, as long as you announced your name at the door, you would not be treated like this no matter what attitude Duofang had.
Fortunately, there was Qu Xiaohan. After all, he was the leader of the Four Alliances. She knew the rules here more or less, so she immediately took out the leader's badge and handed it over.
The two guards immediately took it over for inspection, looked at it carefully and repeatedly, then put down their spears and knelt down on one knee, "Leader Qu!"
Qu Xiaohan waved his hand and asked the two of them to get up. He said that he wanted to see the head of the Sharpshooter Sect and asked the two guards to lead the way.
The guard nodded, and after the handover was completed, he led everyone inside.
After entering Yanyun, Gu Xiaotian took a look around and found that compared to other cities, it could be described as dilapidated.
But fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
The guard brought the group of people to a courtyard door. After walking up and saying a few words to the guard guarding the door, he pointed at Gu Xiaotian and his group. The guard guarding the door nodded and asked the people to wait here for a while. He is now Go and ask the leader for instructions.
Not long after, the guards returned and brought everyone inside.
...
After being brought to the main room, the guards retreated.
Looking forward, he saw a man with a stubble on his face sitting on his seat, staring at the things on the table in silence.
The man's complexion was a little yellowish, and his skin was a little dry and cracked. These were all symptoms left over after staying in the frontier for a long time.
There is also a blood-red spear behind this person. If you recognize him, you will probably be startled by this spear.
This was the spear that belonged to the spear king Han Shouqiong back then - Shi Jian Zhengjun!
Gun King Han Shouqiong was the originator of the God of Guns sect. No one knows where the Gun King ended up. Some say he became an immortal, some say he died of illness. There are different opinions.
But Shijian Zhengjun stayed, which was regarded as a symbol of the Divine Spear Sect. Only the current head of the Divine Spear Sect was qualified to pick up this spear.
The silent man who was staring at the documents on the table slowly raised his head after being reminded by the waiter next to him, his eyes looking a little bluffing.
Just by being stared at like this, Gu Xiaotian couldn't help but stand up straight. The other party's calm and intimidating look was really scary.
The man stood up slowly, bowed his head and said, "I, Han Yansheng, have met all of you."
Gu Xiaotian immediately returned the gift and handed over the secret volume at the same time.
Han Yansheng was a little confused. How could this secret document be found?
It appeared in Gu Xiaotian's hands, but it was of great importance. He could put this matter aside first. It was most important to read the contents of the secret volume first.
Han Yansheng asked the servant to invite everyone out first. Although Qu Xiaohan, the leader of the alliance, was here, Han Yansheng's thinking was still old-fashioned. No one could read the contents of the secret book except him.
After waiting for a while, the waiter called everyone in.
When he saw Han Yansheng, he felt a little more melancholy than before. He didn't know if it was because of the secret book.
Gu Xiaotian took the initiative and asked: "Headmaster Han, what happened?"
Han Yansheng took a look at the young man who took the initiative to ask questions. He could tell at a glance that this young man had an extraordinary physique, but his level was still a little low. In addition, this secret volume was Yan Yun's secret, so naturally he would not Speaking out, he just said calmly: "Nothing."
Immediately afterwards, Han Yansheng asked: "Why did you come to Yanyun?"
Gu Xiaotian didn't lie, let alone say anything about the situation. Instead, he said straightforwardly: "Come to the border to see and experience it."
After finishing speaking, Gu Xiaotian quickly lowered his head.
He originally wanted to speak out loud, but when he thought of Han Yansheng's look just now, he was already frightened and he didn't dare to speak out. Telling the truth was the best choice.
Han Yansheng suddenly laughed, pointed at Gu Xiaotian and said, "You are quite honest."
Gu Xiaotian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Headmaster Han is overly praised."
But who could have imagined that Han Yansheng's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, "There is nothing to experience in the frontier. Since you are all members of the alliance, I will prepare a carriage at night to send you out of the frontier."
This is already an eviction order.
Now Han Yansheng was very disappointed that he could be divided into four people. When Wan Lisa's leader was not injured, the two of them cooperated to resist together and still had room to breathe and rest.
But now, Wanlisha's leader was seriously injured, and all the burden fell on Han Yansheng's shoulders. This feeling of suffocation made it difficult for Han Yansheng to breathe.
Gu Xiaotian could never have imagined that this leader was actually good at changing faces, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Headmaster Han, this trip is here, I didn't want to leave so early."
Han Yansheng shook his eyebrows and his eyes became fierce again.
As a martial arts sect with a military background, orders from superiors are absolute and no one is allowed to resist. But I didn't expect that the young man in front of me would be so ignorant.
Han Yansheng asked fiercely: "Tell me, how many days do you plan to stay?"
Gu Xiaotian thought for a while, then suddenly knelt down on one knee and said: "Whenever the situation in the border area can be relieved, I will leave!"
These words startled the boy next to Han Yansheng, who hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Young hero, please don't say it again. If Master Han gets angry later, there will be no good consequences for you." eat."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Gu Xiaotian became more aggressive, "This time I met Wang Yuan, your disciple, on the road. The moment he gave me the secret letter, I thought that I must make the border area survive!"
Han Yansheng's face turned ugly at this time. He looked at Qu Xiaohan and knew that this person was the famous Leader Qu. He pointed at Gu Xiaotian who was still kneeling on one knee and said: "Leader Qu, take care of your people. "
Qu Xiaohan smiled and spread his hands, "He is not from Hanchun City. On the contrary, I have to obey his orders along the way."
Han Yansheng looked a little confused. When did Qu Xiaohan change his temper?
However, Han Yansheng did not believe this argument and thought that Qu Xiaohan was just playing ball with him. However, he was not in the mood to quarrel with others right now. He waved his hand and said, "See you off!"
The boy had no choice but to take orders and send several people out of the door.
In front of the courtyard gate, I don't know if it was prepared in advance. He handed Gu Xiaotian a letter and said: "Young hero, this inn is opened by my cousin. You can stay there for as long as you want, but please don't stay here." If you get involved in this matter, your life is the most important thing."
Gu Xiaotian took the letter and nodded his thanks.
...
Come to the inn in the letter and hand it over
After handing in the letter, the shopkeeper enthusiastically opened two rooms.
As for food and drink, Gu Xiaotian must not suffer. Although there are few resources in the frontier, the pie is enough.
In the middle of the journey, Gu Xiaotian also asked the boy about someone.
Yang Yang!
This is Gu Xiaotian's eldest brother in Kyoto. Gu Xiaotian also knows that Yang Yang has his own Tianyang Camp cavalry in the border area. Since the road to Han Yansheng's place is impassable, it is better to go directly to his eldest brother.
The eldest brother can't have such a bad attitude toward himself.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Young hero, you are a little too embarrassed. Even if I know where Camp Commander Yang is stationed, I don't dare to talk nonsense."
Then, the shopkeeper wiped his finger across his neck to signal.
These ordinary people in Yanyun are very strict with their words, for fear that if they are not careful, they will lose their heads.
Gu Xiaotian no longer embarrasses the shopkeeper, and will find out what happens next.
After drinking and eating, Gu Xiaotian sighed: "I can't understand Han Yansheng's attitude."
Qu Xiaohan said: "It's normal, their family has had this character for generations."
"So you already knew?"
Qu Xiaohan smiled slightly and was noncommittal.
Gu Xiaotian pouted. In front of Qu Xiaohan, he was still willing to act like a child. Why did Qu Xiaohan keep pushing him into the fire pit?
Qu Xiaohan patted Gu Xiaotian's head, "Don't worry, I know a lot of people in Yanyun. The Yang Yang you want to ask about can be found out in a moment."
Gu Xiaotian believes this. He is the leader of the alliance after all. If it doesn’t matter, then he might as well stop being the leader.
In Yanyun, there are not only two forces, Shenqianmen and Wanlisha, but there are also many heroes who take the initiative to come to the border to guard the border, which can be regarded as another force.
This force is not under the jurisdiction of anyone, it is completely spontaneous.
In addition, there are other forces that form alliances, but after all, they also have to manage their own alliance, so they cannot be too dedicated.
Just like Qian Fenghua, the leader of Shuilongyin Hall not long ago, after he came, he only wiped out a small stronghold, which was considered to have completed the task. At this moment, he must have returned to his own territory and started to manage Shuilongyin matters.
It was summer, and it was dark and late in Yanyun. Gu Xiaotian and his group were ready to go out to look for Yang Yang.
