wind blowing wind

The cold night wind continued to howl westward.

Gu Xi suddenly felt a familiar aura coming from behind after jumping up, and couldn't help being shocked——

Shifang...

23

Until the group was thrown into chaos by the cold wind, they finally reached the destination—it was the exit of the entire Western Region, the pass of Bingri Town.I saw a big bungalow standing in front of me, extending backwards to nowhere.The buildings in the Western Regions are not high, and rich people build luxury houses through fences to show their wealth.

Hua Xiangrong rang the bell in front of the door with ease. The bell was golden in color and rang very clearly. It was the bell that people from the Western Regions often hang on camels.

Although all of them are skilled in martial arts, the weather in the Western Regions at night is no joke.It's cold and windy, and if you don't pay attention, you may get lost in the desert.Just from Yangguan Town to Zhouri Town, a guide is needed to lead the way.These four people were all following Hua Xiangrong, they just felt that the route was rushing here and there was not accurate, and with a bit of cold wind blowing, they were extremely exhausted.

The door finally opened, and there was a guard in front of him. When he saw Hua Xiangrong's expression turned serious, he immediately became respectful.

"So it's the young master, please." Then he looked at Gu Xi and the others suspiciously and said, "They are..."

"Brother, my friend." Hua Xiangrong said nonchalantly.

"Then please, I will tell the master first."

A group of people walked through the long corridor with a few attendants wrapped in coats. The houses in the Western Regions are all built with thick white walls. This big family is not like the Central Plains. They all have yards and gardens. The weather here is not good keep.

Finally, the five of them came to a door inlaid with Persian inscriptions, and there were some shining golden agates from the Western Regions pinned to it. It can be seen that the owner of this room must be a wealthy businessman.

Opening the door, a burst of warm air came in, everyone felt very comfortable, dispelling the cold on the road.The room is spacious, and several high-angle Persian lamps are lit, from the bottom to the top, illuminating the hall extremely brightly.A stove was lit in the room, as if he had known that a guest would come.The ground is covered with plush Persian carpets, which is quite different from the structure of the Central Plains.

"Wait a moment, everyone." The attendant said respectfully and left first.

Hua Xiangrong walked in carelessly, sat down on the blanket-covered seat, and then greeted everyone with a smile: "Sit down, don't be polite to brother."

"Brother, you haven't told Ben Hou where this is?" Gu Xi smiled and said while sitting next to Hua Xiangrong.The others were also tired, so they sat down to rest first.

"This is brother's home!" Hua Xiangrong blinked mischievously and said.

"Ahahaha, brother, could it be that..." Gu Xi stopped deliberately, with an ambiguous tone, watching Hua Xiangrong's reaction.

Just as Hua Xiangrong was about to speak, she suddenly clapped her hands on his shoulders, and then a steady voice sounded:

"Xiangrong, have you played enough?"

Hua Xiangrong suddenly blushed, and was so startled that she wanted to jump up from the blanket: "Ah, Ying, why did you come here so fast!"

The sound of "shadow" was very tender.The others immediately knew that this man was the rumored Sha Ying, and also vaguely guessed his relationship with Hua Xiangrong.

Sha Ying stood about a few years old, tall and burly, with the face of a man from the Western Regions, with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and sharper edges and corners.Although he is not very handsome, but his facial features are correct, exuding a sense of righteousness and stability, which makes people very comfortable to look at.What attracted people's attention was that his hair was golden brown, and the long strands were scattered on both sides of his broad shoulders. Under the light of the flames, he could see a beautiful golden color, and his blue pupils were unique to people from the Western Regions.

"Wulin people were killed mysteriously, is it your fault?" Sha Ying was unmoved, and continued to ask rather sternly.

Hua Xiangrong didn't change the subject or make excuses, and looked at Sha Ying obediently nodding.

"Is it itchy hands if you haven't killed someone for a long time?"

Hua Xiangrong's face unexpectedly showed the shameful look of a suspicious child being scolded, which surprised Gu Xi who had always known him well.The parchment he received that day was written by Hua Xiangrong, and it was about what he did in the Western Regions. I hope that Gu Xi can take care of his old feelings and come to help him——Hua Xiangrong said timidly : "Brother, I just want to help them..."

"Is there any help from you?" Sha Ying heard a hint of helplessness in his tone, "If you do this, the martial arts side will become more nervous, and will only send more people to investigate, but it will make the local people even more miserable."

"Oh..." Hua Xiangrong lowered her head and began to play with her fingers, "Brother, I was wrong, can't I..."

Sha Ying sighed, then turned his gaze to Gu Xi and his party, and said with a smile: "Sorry everyone, I didn't have time to greet you just now because of some trivial matters."

"Where is it?" Gu Xi hurriedly said, "Teaching your wife a lesson is justified and justified."

As soon as this remark came out, Hua Xiangrong gave her a blank stare.

Gu Xi replied with an evil smile, he finally understood why the two were flirting when he first saw Hua Xiangrong, but he avoided him when he wanted to marry him, it turned out that he already had someone.

Thinking of this, a sense of loss suddenly flashed in my heart, but was quickly overwhelmed by his always heartless personality - the old man is gone, so why look for it again.

Sha Ying smiled helplessly: "Xiang Rong has caused trouble to everyone, please forgive me."

"It's okay." Gu Xi didn't talk nonsense, and got straight to the point: "My brother said that he is going to help us hunt for treasure."

When it came to treasure hunting, Sha Ying's face changed slightly, and then he looked at Hua Xiangrong, who also nodded, and asked, "Are you Yu Junhou?"

"It's Gu Xi," Gu Xi also became humble because he wanted something from others. "This time, according to the will of my majesty, I came to seek the truth about the treasures of the Western Regions and put an end to the chaos." Although his tone was modest and courteous, his words were a bit casual and frivolous, which shows that he has a very different relationship with the emperor in power. generally.

"Next, Yu Ziwu." Seeing this, Yu Ziwu got up and introduced himself.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Then he turned to Song Yanchu and said, "This is Doctor Song, right? Sha knows it."

Song Yanchu also got up and bowed: "I am extremely honored to be recognized by the great Xia Sha."

"Sha has already quit the martial arts world, so he cannot be called a hero."

"Wei Sheng Ni." Wei Sheng Ni replied simply.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Sand Shadow greeted them one by one.

After a brief introduction, Sha Ying said sternly: "If Xiangrong agrees, I have no objection. But forgive Sha for reminding me that I can't take you all to the end. After reaching a certain level, I can only give you some necessary things. As for the dangerous place in the center of the desert, I will not set foot in it. Second, the treasures of the Western Regions are pure rumors, and I am afraid they are spread by people with evil intentions. Are you really going to find out?"

"Since this Marquis has accepted the emperor's order, even if it is spreading rumors, we must find out those who spread the rumors and put down the chaos." Gu Xi said firmly, and the others also nodded in agreement.

"Okay then," Shaying saw that the four of them had made up their minds, and said, "Ms. Sha knows the weather here quite well. It just so happens that the weather has been sunny these days, and there may be less wind and sand, so let's strike while the iron is hot, and the four of you will go first." Rest here for a night, and tomorrow, please bring the treasure map to discuss the route with Sha, prepare props, and travel the next day, how about it?"

The four of them nodded in agreement after hearing this.

into the night.

Gu Xi couldn't sleep, so he walked around the corridor.He had already noticed that when they entered Sha Ying's house, Shi Fang had sneaked in without anyone noticing.I don't know if the other party is cold in such weather.Huo Shifang was like a shadow that could not be ignored, always by his side, and always occupying a place in his mind, which could not be erased.

As early as the beginning of receiving the treasure hunting mission, he thought that the Wuhuamen where Huo Shifang was originally located was in the desert.Two years ago when he was in the Western Regions to act on orders, he happened to meet Huo Qian, the master of the Wuhuamen, and after a bloody storm, Huo Qian agreed to take him into the Wuhuamen.But when he set off, he covered his eyes with a black cloth, and then used his internal force to guide him to walk, and he walked extremely fast, and the return journey was the same, so Gu Xi still didn't know the exact location of the Wuhuamen.

Thinking of this, he felt a block in his heart, and his sadness surged even more.

"Gu Lang?"

Hua Xiangrong was wearing a Persian-style robe, with his waist tucked in, leaning against the wall, with long hair reaching his waist, looking at Gu Xi who was wandering in the corridor in a little surprise.

"Yo," Gu Xi had already suppressed the sadness on his face, smiled and looked at Hua Xiangrong in front of him, and with a glance, he knew something about it, and teased: "It's so late and you're not under the covers, what are you doing here? Could it be that Sand Shadow's embrace is not warm enough?"

Hua Xiangrong's face turned red and then white, white and then red, and said angrily: "Don't mention it, it's not him, ouch, brother, my old waist..."

Gu Xi looked at him with a funny face as he leaned on the wall and struggled, and shook his head helplessly, thinking that every time Shifang was done, he would act like a normal person, practicing swords and killing people as usual, without any disturbance.He said slowly: "By the way, Benhou hasn't asked you yet, brother, how did you get together with Sha Ying?"

Hua Xiangrong was taken aback for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her lips, this smile was different from the usual banter, it was full of pure tenderness and sweetness.

"Brother, what's wrong with you, you laugh so disgustingly?"

"What are you talking about?" Hua Xiangrong glared at Gu Xi, "It's a long story, at the beginning I really didn't like my brother..."

"Huh? I'm actually indifferent to my brother's charm." Gu Xi felt amused, "What about you, brother?"

"Brother, I fell in love with him at first sight, forget it, it's better not to mention this sad past." Hua Xiangrong sighed.

Seeing what he said, Gu Xi didn't ask any further.Hua Xiangrong looks coquettish, but in fact he is pure in heart, sometimes he can't do things with his brain,
