Fairy, please let me explain.

Chapter 619 Current Situation
As time goes by, the original fortress city has taken on huge economic attributes, but Zhenxi City was ultimately built to cope with war. As the sun sets in the west, the night watchmen of the City Defense Department begin to shout words of curfew, and the noise of the busy streets and alleys quickly fades away like the tide.

The rows of houses and the buildings with upturned eaves seemed to be frozen in the sunset for a moment, and then they were immersed in the darkness of the night in an instant.

The long street plunged into darkness became quiet and empty, and the homeless merchants and peddlers gathered in the inns and taverns of all sizes. In the halls, people of all kinds gathered in groups of two or three, shouting loudly, drinking and having fun.

The noise came through the stairs, across the corridor and through the not-very-soundproof wooden door of a guest room.

The guest room is not big, and the decoration is simple and plain. There is no heavy smoke, but there is a faint fragrance in the air.

A big yellow dog squatted at the door of the guest room, blinking its clear and stupid eyes at the woman pacing back and forth in the room.

Because of the hot weather, the woman did not wear proper clothes indoors. Her upper body was wrapped in a chest cloth like the women in the Western Regions, and her lower body was a silk underpants. Her pair of slender legs kept crossing as she paced, and her figure was tall and graceful.

As if sensing the other party's anxiety, the big yellow dog occasionally swept its tail with a hint of flattery.

But unfortunately,
This flattery didn't have any effect.

When the tall woman walked to the big yellow dog, she saw that the dog was staring at her, and suddenly kicked the dog's butt in anger:

"What are you looking at?"

"Ow"

The big yellow dog felt pain from being kicked, and immediately ran to the double bed in the guest room with its tail between its legs. It kept wagging its tail at the other woman on the bed and called out a few times to express its grievance.

The woman sitting on the bed seemed much gentler, with picturesque eyebrows and a waist as slender as a willow swaying in the wind. She glanced at the tall woman with her gem-green and clear eyes, then stretched out her slender hand to rub the big yellow dog's head to comfort it.

The dog squinted his eyes in enjoyment, pursed his lips twice and wanted to jump onto the bed, but just as he started to move, the tall woman's cold voice came over:

"If you dare to get on the bed, I'll break your legs!"

"."

Hearing the "lihe", the big yellow dog stopped moving, lay on the ground and started rolling on its belly to please.

Seeing this, the tall woman snorted coldly and began to pace around the room again.

The Western Region woman sitting beside the bed stared at the slender woman pacing for a few breaths, and suddenly spoke softly in the Great Yan language, which was a bit difficult to pronounce:
"Li Junwu, are you acting so strange today because of what those crazy people said in the evening?"

Hearing this, Li Junwu frowned and glanced at the fairy-like Western Region woman, humphing:

"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, does it?"

The woman from the Western Regions smiled slightly:
"You and I are on the same boat now, so it naturally has something to do with me."

Li Junwu paused, staring at the Desert Goddess with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and said in a husky voice:
"Jia Yi, don't think I don't know what you want to do."

The green eyes of the Western Region woman flashed for a moment, and she chuckled:

"You are so wary of me, you just want to use the unicorn wolf incarnation as a cover. If it hadn't shielded this room, I'm afraid you would have been found by those traitors in your family long ago, right?"

Saying,

Jia Yi slowly lowered his eyes, leaned down and stretched out his hands to rub the belly of the big yellow dog at his feet, his soft chest pressed against his exposed thighs, and said slowly:

"It's really pitiful. He has returned to his own city, but there is no one he can trust. He can only wait until his father returns to the city."

Li Junwu was not angry when he heard this. He just grabbed the long hair scattered in front of him and put it behind his ears, and retorted:
"No matter how bad I am, I am at least better than you, the Desert Goddess. You are being chased around like a wild dog, trying to find your master and ask for help, but in the end, the master only wants to kill you and eat your dog meat."

Saying,

A warning flashed across Li Junwu's handsome black eyes as he stared at the other's graceful figure:

"Also, are you itchy again?"

Jia Yi's delicate eyes paused for a moment, his chest rose and fell slightly, and after forcing himself to calm down, he said slowly:
"Li Junwu, I don't want to quarrel with you. Instead of speculating on your own, why don't you tell us what happened and we can find a solution together."

"."

A gust of warm wind came into the room through the half-open window, ruffling the two girls' long hair in silence.

Thinking of the shouts he heard in the evening, Li Junwu bit the corner of his lips lightly with a complicated expression, and his slender hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Seeing the other party's expression, Jia Yi frowned slightly and asked slowly:

"What that crazy person is shouting is someone giving you a secret signal?"

"."

Li Junwu did not answer immediately. He walked slowly forward, went to the bedside and sat down side by side with the Desert Goddess, with his eyelids lowered, and his dense and curly eyelashes trembled slightly.

As if sensing something was wrong with the human woman's aura, the big yellow dog rolled on the ground and then quietly moved to the side and lay down.

Jia Yi looked at her side profile, was silent for a moment, and said slowly:
"It seems I guessed it right?"

Li Junwu took a deep breath and said calmly:
"Um"

"Then why didn't you respond?"

"Because he's dead."

"Since he's dead, it must be a trap."

The Desert Goddess pursed her red lips gently, looked at the woman beside her, and took a deep breath: "There is no need for us to take this risk now."

Li Junwu put his slender fingers together and exerted a little force.

"But... only he and I know about this."

"."

Silence spreads.

Li Junwu raised his slender hand and pounded his forehead with a headache, as if he had figured something out. He suddenly chuckled and said with a smile:

"This evil has lasted for thousands of years. I knew that guy wouldn't die so easily. I've been worrying for so long in vain."

Jia Yi rubbed her slender feet lightly against the rough wooden floor and said slowly:
"Do you believe that man?"

"of course."

Li Junwu took it for granted, turned around and smiled gently: "I'm going to send Cangbei to contact the bait thrown by that guy."

Cangbei, the only surviving personal guard of Li Junwu.

Upon hearing this, Jia Yi tapped the ground with her crystal-clear toes and said softly:
"I mean, even if we contact that person, can it make any difference to the environment we are in? You know, your Zhenxi Mansion has been completely infiltrated now."

While talking,

Jia Yi stretched out her slender hand and grasped Li Junwu's wrist, and said quickly and softly:

"If you can't, you might as well consider my previous suggestion."

Li Junwu raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at the other person's hand holding his:

"What's your suggestion?"

"As long as you, Zhenxi Prefecture, are willing to help me seize control of the Tartar Chao royal court, I swear in the name of the Desert Goddess that there will be no more war in the Western Desert within a hundred years."

"Then I have to go out of the city with you to find the real body of the Linlang?"

"." Jia Yi.

Li Junwu smiled softly and broke free from Jia Yi's slender hand, saying softly:
"Stop joking. Do you think what you said is realistic? My father and I don't have the habit of raising enemies for our own benefit. And you should know that our Zhenxi Army has a blood feud with you Tartars."

While talking,

Li Junwu stood up and walked to the window. He looked at the place where the crazy man who had just shouted had passed by. A touch of tenderness flashed across his heroic eyes. He said in a gentle voice:
“Humph, even though that guy seems unreliable on weekdays, I trust him when it comes to major issues like this.

"Moreover, the fact that he could guess that I was in Zhenxi Mansion already explains a lot. With his status, he should be able to do a lot of things."

Jia Yi stared at her back and insisted, "Is it possible that the person you mentioned is the accomplice of those who want to kill us?"

Upon hearing this, Li Junwu immediately turned his head back, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He stretched out his voice slightly, pursed his lips and smiled:

"As for him, even if you betray the Tatars, he will not compromise with those people from the sect."

After he finished speaking, the room fell into silence.

The big yellow dog lay at the feet of the Desert Goddess, looking up at the two women in the room with a clear and curious look in his eyes. His wagging tail would occasionally rub against the goddess's exposed bronze calves.

"boom."

Jia Yi gently kicked the dead dog, letting it crawl away, then suddenly smiled at Li Junwu:
"If that person is really as you said, then maybe we can really break through."

Li Junwu bent his beautiful eyes and shrugged his shoulders, summoned a piece of clothing to put on, covering the large area of ​​exposed skin, and threw another piece to the Desert Goddess, whispering:
"Put on your clothes, Cangbei should be back soon."

The night in Zhenxi City is really quiet.

Sitting at the doorstep and gazing at the starry sky, a sound of horse hooves suddenly whistled past the gate. Xu Yuan subconsciously extended his mind, but to his disappointment, the person outside the courtyard was not the one he was waiting for, but a team of neatly-armed cavalry patrols.

In actual conditions, the curfew in Zhenxi Prefecture is even stricter than that in the northern closed city.

Not to mention the power to execute pedestrians encountered at night and report later, he even has the power to break into houses and search without reason when war is imminent.

Other than that,

The cavalry captains on patrol who were passing by the gate all had authority tokens that allowed them to manipulate part of the city defense formation.

The government offices in charge of civil affairs and the city defense bureau in charge of the city defense formation are just decorations here.

However, this may be a common problem in all important border towns of Dayan.

Rule the country by military force.

No matter what level of official you are, when you come here you have to obey the orders of the army.

Everything comes first with war.

There are no cicadas chirping in the desert in summer, only endless tranquility.

Hearing that the outside world had returned to silence, Xu Yuan stopped gazing at the starry sky and began to close his eyes to rest.

The beautiful scenery that was rarely seen in my previous life has made me numb in this life.

Time ticked by, and until midnight, Xu Yuan did not hear the expected knock on the door. Instead, the patrolling guards strolled back to the gate of the courtyard several times.

The sound of horse hooves clattered slowly on the bluestone road, echoing far away in the night.

Again.

Listening to the noise outside, Xu Yuan habitually extended his spiritual vision out of the door, but the result he got was still the same as the previous times.

After watching this group of diligent patrolling cavalry guards walk away and was about to retract his spiritual vision, he suddenly discovered two figures appearing at the end of the alley.

The two figures both had strong cultivation bases. They leaped about ten feet away and arrived outside the gate of his courtyard.

Both of them were wearing black robes, of different styles, but they should be monastic robes. They had some effect of blocking perception, but were almost ineffective against Xu Yuan's spiritual vision.

Zhou Chen and a strange young man.

As the thought flashed through his mind, Xu Yuan saw that the strange young man wanted to jump over the wall and enter directly, but was pulled down by Zhou Chen, who pointed at the door knocker.

To see my young master, you have to knock on the door.

The young man looked stunned.

What time is it? Why are you still knocking on the door?

Zhou Chen looked as if it was a matter of course and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.

"."

This week, the Grand Master knows how to make his presence felt.

Xu Yuan opened his eyes with some amusement, and his voice rang in the ears of the two people outside the door at the same time:

"Just come in."

wow-

There was an imperceptible sound of robes flashing, and the two people outside the door landed in the square courtyard almost at the same time.

The strange young man looked at him with scrutiny.

After Zhou Chen landed, he knelt down and saluted:
"Sir, people have brought it."

"."

Xu Yuan sat on the doorstep, ignoring Zhou Chen and looking at the strange young man:

"Are you Li Junwu's confidant?"

The strange young man slowly pulled down his robe and hat, revealing his resolute and handsome face, his eyes like stars, and bowed:
"I am here to see you, young master, on the orders of the princess."

Standing up and patting his gray robe, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:
"Now that you've seen her, can you tell me where she is?"

The resolute young man clenched his hands slightly as he saluted the Great Flame Army, and whispered:
"Before that, I have to confirm one thing with you."

"Your princess is really a bit suspicious. Ask."

"."

The resolute young man pondered for a moment, stared at Xu Yuan, and asked in a deep voice:
"The princess asked, who is she better than?"

"what?"

Hearing this question, Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on his handsome mask with a hint of strangeness:
"What did you say she asked?"

"."

The resolute young man did not answer, his starry eyes instantly became alert and he quickly scanned the courtyard.

Xu Yuan saw this change in the other party and immediately chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, brother. I'm just a little surprised, not that I can't answer."

"."The resolute young man did not speak.

Feeling that the other party was facing a formidable enemy, Xu Yuan stopped talking nonsense, recalled briefly, and replied slowly:
"Li Qingyan, or Wu Yuan."

"Yes."

"Hehe. How childish."

The code was correct, and Xu Yuan laughed subconsciously.

However, after seeing the young man's slightly hostile look, he stopped smiling and asked:

"What do you call brother?"

The resolute young man took a deep breath and whispered:

"You can just call me Cangbei, sir."

苍北
He remembered that this seemed to be the name of a town in the Zhenxi Army.

After taking a look at the young man, Xu Yuan did not continue to ask for his name and got back to the point:
"Cang Bei, now that her identity has been confirmed, can you tell me where she is?"
