Officials sent together.Zuoqiu Yang was sitting on the horse, beside Ai Qi, Ai Bin and General Huang who were on the expedition together, he greeted everyone with a smile on his face.And Huang Taoyue, a senior scholar, also wrote a poem, which became the strong poem for this conscript.

It's worth it if you succeed in everything.

Finally, when the army left the city, he reluctantly turned around and looked at the tall building. The figure of the man seemed to be looming, and his heart moved.

Father, wait for me to come back.

A few days later, in the Western Regions.

This place is located on the border of Yasukuni, a place often harassed by Luyuan and various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, and because of this, it is bordered by many countries, and its geographical location is conducive to commerce, so rich businessmen gather here, and travelers come and go in an endless stream.

There is an unwritten rule in Yasukuni that only the west of the Yangguan Stone Monument can be called the Western Region in the true sense.And martial arts people don't care that it's almost November and the sky is full of yellow sand in this frontier, and they rush to this place one after another. The most terrifying winter in the Western Regions is about to come.

Gu Xi tightened the reins, squinted his eyes to face the slight wind and sand, the fine grains of sand touched his cheeks, the soft texture on his face and the surging waves in his heart, the scene of first coming to the Western Regions two years ago is still vivid in his memory.Thinking of this, he stretched out his hand, facing the sand blowing head-on, he clenched it tightly, let it go, gathered it, and scattered it.

"What are you doing?" Wei Shengni couldn't help asking when he saw that Gu Xi seemed to be posing like this, and seemed to be playing with sand.

"Ben Hou saw that this sand is very fun, it's just a whim." Gu Xi looked ahead quietly, with a smile in his tone.

"Xiao Yiqing has been to the Western Regions?" Wei Shengni asked suddenly.

"Yes, two years ago."

Wei Shengni has been to the imperial capital since he left Jinyue Island, traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, and attended martial arts conferences, but he has never been to the mysterious land of the Western Regions.All he could see was a piece of yellow and clear, the air was extremely dry, and the fine sand and dust kept rushing towards his face. He suddenly felt difficult to breathe, which made him feel uncomfortable and at the same time he couldn't help being curious.

Song Yanchu, who was in his arms, was also moved when he saw this scene. He had traveled all over the world, so he had naturally been to the Western Regions. After the meeting, he set off for the trip, but he never thought that he came to the Western Regions in this situation, and he really didn't know how to express it.

The four of them rode their horses across the Yangguan stone stele, and after a short time, they came to a city gate. The weather-beaten Cangbo city wall was covered with seemingly fragile clods of soil, but it was full of mottled and desolate scenes that had gone through wars. The three characters "Yangguan City" are engraved on the tall stone tablet.

Yangguan Town is a fortress in the Western Regions, the largest customs town in the Western Regions, the largest trade distribution center in the area, and the most prosperous town in the west of Yasukuni, so it is naturally the place where the border guards are stationed.As soon as the four of them entered the city, they cast a lot of inquiring gazes from everywhere, either from local people, wandering business travelers, or martial arts people from Central Plains.

"Let's find a place to rest first, so that the horse can be settled." Yu Ziwu said

Gu Xi nodded: "Benhou remembers that there is a Cheng'en Inn nearby, which seems to be a good idea."

When the four of them came to Cheng'en Inn and got off their horses, someone came to receive them immediately, and then a young woman walked out of it. Although she was young, she had a sense of worldliness and sophistication in her eyes, and said with a smile: "All the four guests Is it from the Central Plains? My name is Xiaohui, please come inside."

Walking into the inn, Yu Ziwu and Wei Shengni felt that it was a bit unusual. Perhaps it was the first time for the two to come to the Western Regions, and they were not used to the structure of the inn and the smell of sheep that always lingered in the air. Son, so I didn't say much.

I saw an obese woman sitting on the right hand side of the inn, with flesh all over her face, almost drowning her eyes.Since it was the end of October and the weather in the Western Regions was getting colder, she was wrapped tightly in thick clothes, which made her even bigger, like a rice dumpling sitting there, funny and unsightly.

"This is the lady proprietress of the inn, the wandering boss." Xiaohui introduced.

The fat woman had seen the four of them a long time ago, so she smiled. This smile was so terrible that her whole face was wrinkled into a ball, it was too horrible to look at.

Because of Song Yanchu's presence, Wei Shengni was inconvenient to attack, but his feet were unsteady. He walked behind Song Yanchu to avoid the fat woman, turned his head to the side, feeling almost sick in his heart, but Song Yanchu was very well-bred and kept silent, nodding slightly in salute.Yu Ziwu frowned slightly, while Gu Xi kept smiling, kept silent, and sometimes absent-minded.

"Four guest officers, how many rooms do you want~?" The fat woman's voice paled in comparison to her figure, it was thin and soft, dense and dense, revealing the weakness of a willow that could not be blown by the wind.

Wei Shengni clenched his hands tightly, unable to bear it.He glanced at Song Yanchu in front of him. The other party had stopped talking to him since he went to Qi Temple for three sentences. He was quiet and obedient. It had been more than 20 days since he had been together. Thinking of this, he felt a little cold again.

Yu Ziwu also had a shiver in his stomach, but Gu Xi was obviously much more sophisticated, so he said slowly, "Three rooms are enough." After saying that, he put the money on the stage.

The fat woman immediately winked at Gu Xi after hearing this: "Xiaohui, take the guests upstairs~"

The latter remained calm, neither evading nor responding, and coped with it with ease.

The four of them booked three rooms, all connected together.And Song Yanchu was at the mercy of Wei Shengni like a puppet along the way, so he didn't refuse, didn't get angry, and stayed quietly by Wei Shengni's side.

"Then let's clean up the dust first, how about we meet in the lobby for dinner?" Gu Xi made a suggestion, and the other three people also nodded in agreement. After such a long journey, everyone is tired, and they can't wait to go to bed and sleep.

Xiaohui bowed and smiled, and led them upstairs, but the moment she was about to step up the steps, an arrogant voice came: "Oh, who did I say, it turned out to be the lackeys of the imperial court!"

Looking back, I saw a man in honey-colored clothes standing at the door of the inn, followed by a few men holding swords. A group of people looked at Gu Xi and the other four with disdain on their faces.

This person is Guo Chencheng, a disciple sent by Sanqingdao to the Western Regions, and was ordered by Mr. Wu to come to the Western Regions to inquire about the treasure. Many good people from the Western Regions can be described as traitorous disciples of the Sanqing Taoist sect.

"Too young hero~" Gu Xi greeted him with a smile, and that "young hero" yelled with ulterior motives.

Guo Chencheng opened his eyes wide and angry, and said angrily: "Shut up, you dead dog!" After speaking, a stone flew from his hand, pointing directly at Gu Xi.

Gu Xi was about to flash, but the stone in front of him ignited spontaneously and turned into ashes in an instant, and then a burst of wild laughter came from upstairs, and everyone looked up - only to see a man in orange clothes, handsome and frivolous, that is Xiao Hongli, the eldest disciple sent by Yiyang to the Western Regions.

"Don't you call me so lively?" Xiao Hong sternly said, she flew downstairs, landed steadily, and stared at everyone.

This Yiyang sect is also a great sect in the martial arts, it is well known, the Yiyang sect favors fire, and all the martial arts used are related to fire.The most famous technique in martial arts can be called the Three Flavors Real Fire. This fire is so fierce that it cannot be extinguished without ice and cement sand. If the person who set the fire did not put the fire in himself, the fire can burn continuously for three days and three nights.At the martial arts meeting that day, Cheng Ao also sent a hero post to the Yiyang faction, but the Yiyang faction still did not show up in the end.

"It turned out to be Hero Xiao." Gu Xi laughed when he saw this person, "It's been a long time since I've seen him, but I'm still as enthusiastic as a fire."

"Master Gu has said it before." A trace of displeasure appeared on Xiao Hongli's expression, but the corners of his mouth still curled up, smiling at Yanyan. "I just couldn't see that the next person had trouble with the lackeys. I was really dissatisfied, so I stopped it."

"Then Xiao Xia is really kind-hearted." Gu Xi smiled instead of anger, "But I really want to know, Xiao Xia is so affectionate to a dog, why is he so unkind to the people of Bing Ri Town?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Hongli and Guo Chencheng's faces turned black.Bingri Town is the Western Region in the entire Western Region, and it is also the only exit leading to the vast desert.The people in the town are familiar with the wind direction and weather in the desert, so many martial arts practitioners also tried to use the local people as guides to open the way.

But the treasure hunt was extremely risky, and the local people were naturally unwilling to go there. As a result, conflicts arose, and some people in the martial arts resorted to unscrupulous means to kill the guide's family members as a threat, so Ting Ri Town became a purgatory on earth.And some people who were threatened were forced to lead the way, but in the end, they were drowned in the yellow sand with those who were eager for treasure, and they were never seen again.Xiao Hongli and Guo Chencheng were one of these people, and they both returned to Yangguan Town from Bingri Town to rest today.

"Stop meddling your own business!" Guo Chencheng scolded angrily.

Xiao Hongli narrowed her eyes, and said dangerously: "Could it be that Master Gu also came for that treasure?"

"This Marquis is only here for the emperor's will."

At this time, Guo Chencheng suddenly saw Wei Shengni and Song Yanchu beside him, and couldn't help being surprised, "Doctor Song, why are you with them?"

Song Yanchu was stunned when he heard the words, his eyes dodged, and then he said immediately: "I have traveled so far downstream, but I just met the three of them by chance."

After hearing this, Wei ShengNi looked a little unhappy and also a little sad, but considering Song Yanchu's face, he didn't say a word.Guo Chencheng and Xiao Hongli looked at Wei Shengni and felt that his face was strange, but there were many strange people in this martial arts world, and the main task at present was to find treasures, so they didn't think too much about it.

In the end, it was Yu Ziwu who broke the silence: "Everyone is tired, let's go to the room to rest first, we can talk about something tonight."

Everyone was also tired, only Xiao Hongli stayed in the lobby to eat some snacks, and everyone else ate
