082. Desert Villa
082. Desert Villa
The wind and sand outside the Great Wall were floating all over the sky unscrupulously, and the floating dust seemed to be falling sand from the sky.Yuchi Pingting and his party raced faster and faster in the lonely wind and sand, without any slack.
Outside Yong'an Pass, it is extremely desolate and magnificent.After Yuchi Pingting and his party left the customs, facing the lonely and vast desert, they felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.
"Mother, it's so magnificent." Mo Mo couldn't help but said, this was the first time he went out to see such a vast scene. In my mind, something seemed to sprout for the first time.
"Thinking of this Yong'an Pass, it was very prosperous a hundred years ago. There is plenty of water and grass here, and it is a good place for animal husbandry. There used to be several royal horse farms here, and ordinary people made a living by raising animals." Yi Xiaoyao said thoughtfully: " Until the war between the two countries, the people here were devastated and the people were in dire straits. Over the past hundred years, the war between the two countries has continued to expand. The residents who were originally in the border had to leave the land where they were born and moved closer to the customs. Now some residents in the border can only make a living by exchanging trade with each other. I think I came here once 20 years ago, it was spring, and it was still green and full of vitality..." Yi Xiaoyao's face was full of incomprehensible emotions.That's right, outside the Yong'an Pass right now, it is full of devastation and desolation, and the flames of war are all together, and the lives of people are devastated.
"Xiaoyao, the trade you're talking about here is the famous dark field of gold carving and jade construction?" Yuchi Pingting asked after hearing the words.
It turned out that, as Yi Xiaoyao said, there used to be a lot of people from the two countries living outside the customs, but due to the war, not many people live here anymore, but this has caused many green forest people to haunt here.In particular, most of the fugitives who have been involved in serious cases are here, but none of these people are fuel-efficient, and they are unwilling to endure hardships here, so they engage in the business of licking their lives on the tip of a knife, mostly going to bustling cities to rob All kinds of treasures are then brought here to sell. Oftentimes, this kind of black trade is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire underground black market is becoming more and more blatant. Indeed, neither country has ever gone out to hunt down these people, so they It is even more arbitrary, so now the market is huge, and it is called "the dark field of gold carving and jade construction".
"Exactly. It turns out that the boss knows a lot about things outside the customs, but why have I never heard you mention it before." Yi Xiaoyao laughed.
"I've just heard about it, and I haven't actually been here. It's not easy to talk about it because of hearsay. I heard that this dark field of gold carvings and jade is controlled by a mysterious family, but I don't know who it is." Yuchi Pingting said arrive.
"Yes, this matter is extremely mysterious." Yi Xiaoyao cleared his throat, and continued: "The outside world only knows that the person in charge of this market transaction and a group of related people are all capable people in the martial arts, but the specific behind-the-scenes master is Who, but never knew."
"If it wasn't for something else, I would really like to visit this dark field." Yuchi Pingting smiled slightly, just like a blooming flower, adding a touch of color to the vast and desolate desert.She confessed that she had always been interested in such new and eccentric affairs.
"Boss, what's your plan next? Are we going to wander around like a lonely ghost in this vast desert?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"I'm going to take a look at the place where the accident happened. I want to see people when I'm alive, and I want to see corpses when I'm dead." Yuchi Pingting said firmly.
"Beiwushan, I heard that the place where the landslide happened is Beiwushan Nanhua Road, let's go this way." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a rocky mountain in the distance, and several people galloped in that direction with whips.
Nanhua Road is a meandering path at the southern end of Beiwu Mountain.Due to the landslide a few days ago, the mountain road was full of rocks, which made the already rugged mountain road even more difficult to walk.
"I heard that the soldiers involved in the accident were buried on the spot. Let's look for it." Yuchi Pingting said, but her pretty face was covered with a trace of sadness. She wondered if she could find Nangong Feiran among dozens of corpses. , and his younger brother Yuchi Changxun who just started his official career, but an intuition told her that Nangong Feiran must still be alive, and it was this intuition that she insisted on going out to look for it.
"Let Xiaobai help me." Mo Mo said, turning his head and said to Snow Mastiff who was following Yuchi Pingting: "Xiaobai, go find the place where dozens of soldiers' corpses are buried here, and find some sweets for you." eat."
As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, the Snow Mastiff jumped up and galloped towards the northeast, like a flash of white lightning, Yuchi Pingting and the others rushed to catch up.
Snow Mastiff stopped at a place with a slightly flat terrain, looked at the few people who were catching up quickly, and groaned slightly.
"Bad Xiaobai, why are you running so fast, hum." Momo pouted as he spoke, turning his head away from the snow mastiff, but Xiaobai stood on his hind legs like a coquettish child, erecting his upper body and trying to reach the horse Momo.
"Boss, look." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a protruding soil bag in front of him, and then said: "It can be seen that the soil here is freshly turned, so it should be right here."
"Boss, are we really going to dig a grave?" Feng Qingyu asked softly, she didn't know if Yuchi Pingting's decision was appropriate.
"Dig, if you don't dig, how will you know if there is Nangong Feiran inside?" Yuchi Pingting's face was full of firmness and no doubt.
Although Yi Xiaoyao had been prepared for a long time, he brought a shovel with him when he came, but he still hesitated when he really wanted to do this.
Yuchi Pingting did not hesitate to shovel up a deep shovel of soil, then threw it aside, and said to Yi Xiaoyao who was still hesitating: "Why, Xiaoyao with a sword who is not even afraid of killing is afraid of death?"
"Are you kidding?" Yi Xiaoyao blushed, and immediately started to act. Seeing that Yuchi Pingting had made up his mind, Feng Qingyu no longer hesitated.Only Momo was running happily with the snow mastiff.
"Boss, look." Yi Xiaoyao yelled, he had already dug out a bone.
"Everyone, be careful and dig slowly." Yuchi Pingting said, her men had already reduced their strength.It seems that those soldiers who died in landslides were not very careful when they buried them, because the pit was dug very shallow and the soil covering it was not thick.Soon, a terrifying picture full of white bones appeared in front of several people, and suddenly, a foul smell came.
Yi Xiaoyao took the handkerchief that Feng Qingyu handed him, covered his mouth and nose, and then boldly jumped into the pit, carefully turning over the corpses, these corpses are now bones, they all look the same, it is not easy to distinguish , the only thing that can be distinguished is probably the clothes on their bodies.
"Boss, there is a lieutenant general here." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a corpse, only his clothes were different from others, Yi Xiaoyao said again: "I don't know if this is Yuchi Changxun."
"No." Yuchi Pingting said with certainty: "Chang Xun is taller than this one, this is definitely not Chang Xun."
"Boss, the others seem to be soldiers, and the most important one is probably this lieutenant general." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Xiaoyao, let's see how many people are there?" Yuchi Pingting said, the doubts in her heart had become more and more serious, she faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined.
"Boss, there are only 34 corpses, wait, it's strange..." Yi Xiaoyao said to himself.
"34? What's going on?" Yuchi Pingting also frowned.Because she remembered very clearly that she had seen the list of martyrs, except for a dozen people who died on the battlefield, the rest of the dead were all because of this landslide, and there should be 36 people who died due to the landslide, Why are there only 34 now?And there is no one who looks like a general in Nangong Fei.
"Xiaoyao, what did you find?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"Here, two people didn't seem to have died from landslides, but were hacked to death by someone with a knife..." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Take it up and have a look." Yuchi Pingting said after hearing the words, it seems that this matter is really not simple.
Yi Xiaoyao moved the two corpses up one by one with great effort, and Feng Qingyu hurriedly walked up to examine them carefully.
"Boss, there is indeed a problem." Feng Qingyu said to Yuchi Pingting after reading it.
"A sudden death?" Yuchi Pingting asked with a serious face.
"That's right, both of this person's feet are broken. It seems that he was injured under heavy pressure. It should be that he was crushed by a huge rock during a landslide, but this is not the cause of death. The cause of death is a sword in his chest. This, I am afraid, is caused by people. Alright." Said the wind softly.
"Boss, it seems that things are really not simple, but where should we go to find the prince?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
Yuchi Pingting didn't speak, just paced aside, Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu knew she was thinking when they saw this, so they rebuilt the dug tomb.
"There has been a problem from the very beginning." Yuchi Pingting said affirmatively, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, which showed the seriousness of the problem.
"Boss, you mean there is a problem with this war?" Yi Xiaoyao was puzzled.
"That's right, think about it. It turns out that the two countries were at war, and each battle would last at least three months, or even a year. Victory, casualties are few and far between. Isn't that strange?" Yuchi Pingting continued: "There must be something hidden about what happened during this period. I think our trip to the south may take some time." Yuchi Pingting thought to herself, since she has been targeted by her, no matter what kind of conspiracy it is, she will uncover it.
"Boss, where do we start to investigate now?" Feng Qingyu asked, anyway, it is really not easy to find someone on the border between the two countries.
"I heard that there is a town above this desert, isn't it?" Yuchi Pingting asked Yi Xiaoyao.
"That's right, the desert mountain villa, where business travelers will rest their feet, and the dark field built with gold carvings and jade is also there." Yi Xiaoyao said, he remembered that he followed his master here when he was a child, and went to the desert mountain villa and the dark field. field, but it has been 20 years, and I don't know what changes have taken place.
"Let's go there to rest first, and make arrangements after we settle down." Yuchi Pingting said as she carried Mo Mo onto the horse, and then got on the horse herself.
"Boss, how much do you know about this desert villa?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"I heard that the owner of this desert villa, Jun Tianxing, is a strange person. No one has seen his true face, and no one really understands his life experience and past. He suddenly came to this desert villa like a myth and became a Master."
"Yes, this Jun Tianxing lives in seclusion and is very mysterious. All his affairs are taken care of by his disciple Wantong. The two masters and apprentices both have unique skills, but they both regard fame as dirt. Starting a business, there is only one family in the desert, so the business has grown bigger and bigger, and the original mountain villa has been developed into a town. Although this Jun Tianxing is like a local emperor, no one has ever said that he is not good." Yi Xiaoyao said It reminded me of what happened with my master in the desert mountain villa 20 years ago.
"Sounds very attractive. The desert mountain villa, the dark field built with gold carvings and jade, is getting more and more interesting." Yuchi Pingting couldn't help smiling when she said that.
"But I've seen this deep mountain wasteland, where is there any town in the endless land?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"This desert villa is just behind Beiwu Mountain. If we are faster, we can get there before dark."
After saying that, the three of them waved their whips and drove their horses, galloping along the mountain path.
Desert Villa, as the name suggests.
The area between these two countries is very surprising. First there is a vast plain, and in the northeast there are continuous mountains. After the mountains, there is a vast desert. After leaving the desert, you can reach the Liao Kingdom.
The Desert Villa was originally a manor to receive business travelers from the past, but later more and more people came here, and the manor could not be accommodated. These people began to build houses near the manor. As a result, many people who had no fixed place Everyone came here, yes, more and more people in this place formed a town, but the name is still called Desert Villa.These people are not ordinary people who are honest and law-abiding, they are all people with skills, but their intentions here are different, but they live in peace.
At this time, the desert mountain villa was full of people, and the only tavern was full of people, who were competing for arm wrestling, and the winner could get a jar of fine wine from the store's collection.
Ever since Yuchi Pingting and his group entered this crowded place, people looked sideways at them from time to time.
Indeed, Yuchi Pingting and the others all seemed to be dignitaries, not to mention the beauty of the women, the handsomeness of the men, and the only child, Mo Mo, who was born cute and handsome.But most of the people still stared at the snow mastiff that came with them.
"Mother, these people's eyes are so fierce." Mo Mo said.
"Don't worry about them, don't look around." Yuchi Pingting said, she knew that the people here are not easy-going lamps, although she is not afraid of trouble, but now she doesn't want to cause trouble, she still has important things to do.
"Boss, let's go to the Desert Flying Eagle Inn." Yi Xiaoyao said, "Desert Villa is the only inn."
"Alright, I don't want to cause trouble, otherwise, I really want to go to the old manor in the desert mountain to stay and see this Jun Tianxing." Yuchi Pingting's face was full of conceit.
"The Flying Eagle in the Desert is said to be opened by Wantong, a disciple of Jun Tianxia, the owner of Desert Villa. Although they are not in charge of this place, the business travelers who come and go can't escape their eyes." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Okay, maybe we need help right now. Let's go to Flying Eagle in the desert." Yuchi Pingting said.
"It would be great if we could get their help, but I'm afraid it won't be easy." Yi Xiaoyao said, he knew that the desperadoes living here were either willing to sacrifice their lives for money, but for them, there was no such thing. There is no morality at all, whoever bids the most will work for him, and there are some people who are not driven by money, they are all eccentric people.
During the conversation, several people had already arrived outside an inn.
Seen from the outside, this inn has three floors, and a large apricot-yellow flag hangs crookedly outside the door, and the four big characters "Desert Flying Eagle" on it are written in dragons and phoenixes.There was no mistress coming out to lead the horse or greet the guests, everything seemed indifferent, but Yuchi Pingting could clearly feel a strong anger here.
Yi Xiaoyao led the horse and walked towards the stable, Yuchi Pingting took Mo Mo's hand and walked into the inn together with Feng Qingyu.
This inn is really not small, the first floor is full of tables, chairs and benches, obviously it looks like a restaurant, and the second and third floors are guest rooms.
Yuchi Pingting took a glance, there were not many people in the lobby on the first floor, a man in green robe was sitting in a corner deep in the hall, eating and drinking leisurely, he didn't raise his head to look at the few people who came in.In addition, at a table near the stove, three or five tables were put together, and there were a total of more than a dozen people sitting there. It seemed that they were Qiang people from the past, and they were talking in words that Yuchi Pingting could not understand, until Yuchi Pingting talked to Feng Qingyu Walking in, several tall and burly men stopped the wine glasses in their hands and looked at them. They could see that their eyes lit up, and then they smiled and talked to each other, full of obscene voices.
"How many guests, are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?" At this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl approached and asked.
Yuchi Pingting took a look at this girl, dressed in a Hu suit, she looked rough and unrestrained, but her brows did not lose the aura and liveliness of a girl, with two deep dimples inlaid on her face, she was smiling and asking them at this moment.At this time Yi Xiaoyao also came in, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards Yuchi Pingting.
"Eat and stay at the hotel." Yuchi Pingting said.She clearly saw the strange color in the girl's eyes when she saw Yi Xiaoyao.
"Folks, please follow me." The girl said and led them upstairs, but her eyes flew towards Yi Xiaoyao from time to time, and she said as she walked, "This is the first time for you to come here. .”
Yuchi Pingting said "hmm" and didn't say much.
"Miss sister, my name is Momo, what's your name?" Momo asked while holding the girl's hand, he seemed very interested in the strange ornaments on the girl's body.
"My name is Lan Ning'er, you can just call me Ning'er, in this store, besides the boss, I'm the only guy, so if you have anything to do, just call me." Lan Ning'er said with a smile.
Lan Ning'er brought them to the third floor, Yi Xiaoyao was alone, Yuchi Pingting and Feng Qingyu took Mo Mo to the room, and after putting away their luggage, they turned and went downstairs to eat.
The three chose a table in the corner and sat down. After ordering a few small dishes, Yuchi Pingting took a look around. The inn was not small, but why did it only have one clerk.
"Boss, this place is indeed a strange and reckless place, and inns and restaurants are places where troubles can easily arise, but there is only one clerk, and she is a little girl." Feng Qingyu said and glanced at Lan Ning'er who was busy .
"Hee hee, Uncle Xiaoyao, I think that young lady likes you." Mo Mo said with a smirk.
"What do you know, you little kid, don't talk nonsense." Yi Xiaoyao reprimanded pretending to be serious, while Yuchi Pingting and Feng Qingyu laughed and said nothing.
"Uncle Xiaoyao is blushing and shy." Mo Mo clapped his hands and said.
"No way!" Yi Xiaoyao touched his face involuntarily as he spoke, as if he was really hot, and was about to quibble, but saw Lan Ning'er coming over with a jug, so he stopped making a sound.
"This is the wine brewed by the shop itself. Please try it. This place is not as good as Guannei, so the wine will be stronger." Her voice like a silver bell is very moving.
"Miss Ning'er, the two countries went to war a few days ago. When the war started, will it affect this place?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"That's not true, why did my sister ask this?" Lan Ning'er seemed very friendly, and directly called Yuchi Pingting her sister.
"It's nothing, I just want to find someone..." Yuchi Pingting hesitated to speak.
"Oh, it seems that you are from Liang Kingdom, are you going to Liao Kingdom to find someone?" Lan Ning'er blinked and asked.
"Tell you, will you help us find it?" Mo Mo asked with a smile.
"No, if I leave, the boss will have to die alone, but I heard that after the war, there was indeed a general in the Liang army who returned to the Liao army with the Liao army." Lan Ning'er said casually.
But her casual words made Yuchi Pingting's heart tremble. From the south to Nangong Feiran, has she been captured?No, with his personality, even if he died, he would not wait until he was captured.
"Is this true?" Yuchi Pingting asked hastily.
"I just said it, I don't know if it's true." Lan Ning said and walked away, because the table full of Qiang people invited her to serve wine.
"Boss, do you think it might be the prince?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"Whether it's true or not, I have to go and see." Yuchi Pingting said, indeed, she has no clue now, everything is helpless, she can only try.
"Xiaoyao, I'll go to Liao Kingdom tomorrow to inquire about you. Qingyu, you stay here with Mo Mo, and proceed carefully." Yuchi Pingting ordered.
"Mother, I also want to go to Liao country to find my father." Mo Mo was dissatisfied.
"Mo Mo, you and Aunt Qingyu are here to inquire about news, see if you can get other news." Yuchi Pingting coaxed Mo Mo.
Just as I was talking, a middle-aged man about forty years old came over with a dish, and while serving the dish, he said with a smile: "The restaurant is located in a remote place, and the dishes are limited. The boss here, if you have any orders, just give me a drink and I will come."
Yuchi Pingting looked at this boss, but he was different from that Lan Ning'er. The boss was dressed plainly, different from Lan Ning'er's gorgeous Hu suit.But both of them seem to love to laugh, and their smiles are very sincere, Yuchi Pingting thought, to be able to settle down in this kind of place, these two people must not be ordinary people.
Feng Qingyu said worriedly: "Boss, you two are going to Liao Kingdom, so be careful in everything."
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen." Yi Xiaoyao patted his chest, and then said: "If you want me to tell you, you have to be careful, I think those Qiang people have bad intentions " Yi Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
Feng Qingyu glanced over there, and there were indeed a few men looking at them from time to time.
"Then Xiaobai and I will protect Aunt Qingyu." Mo Mo followed Yi Xiaoyao's example and patted his chest.
"That person is really strange." Yi Xiaoyao motioned to the green-robed man sitting in the corner with his back facing them: "From the moment he came in, he has always been in that position, except for occasionally moving his hands to drink, the rest of the body They haven't moved at all, they look like a dead man."
Yuchi Pingting has also noticed this, but she has no time to think about it now, is what Lan Ning'er said is true or not, if it is true, Nangong Feiran was captured by the Liao army, how should she save it?If it is fake, then where is Nangong Feiran whose body is missing?There are more and more doubts in Yuchi Pingting's heart, and she feels that it will be difficult for her to live the carefree days in Fengyu Villa again.
"Qingyu, you have to ask a lot here, but you must be careful yourself." Yuchi Pingting told Feng Qingyu, and then said to Momo: "My dear son, you have to listen to Auntie and don't be naughty, okay?"
"En." Mo Mo responded.
Yuchi Pingting picked up the wine glass and said, "Since I left Fengyu Mountain Villa, I haven't been able to have a good drink with you. Since I have this opportunity today, let's have a drink." Yuchi Pingting said.
"Boss, why are you talking like parting? It's not like we won't see each other again. Momo and I are waiting for good news from you and Xiaoyao." Feng Qingyu also picked up the wine glass, but her heart was still a little sour. What will you encounter when you go to Liao Kingdom?
"That's right, Boss, don't be so sad, we will take the son back to Luoyang City." Yi Xiaoyao also raised his glass.
The strong wine passed over the tip of her tongue, and it was really fragrant and bitter. Yuchi Pingting knew that she had a strong premonition that there might be many troubles in this line of work.
The next day, Yuchi Pingting and Yi Xiaoyao dressed up a little, pretending to be Liao people, so they easily sneaked into the Liao country.
"Boss, you won't just search aimlessly like this?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"Then what suggestion do you have?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"The three major camps of the Liao Army are here. They have just withdrawn their troops, and they probably won't be returning to the capital anytime soon. Why don't we go to the barracks to have a look." Yi Xiaoyao said.
The corners of Yuchi Pingting's lips rose, and Yi Xiaoyao said exactly what she thought, so she said, "Three major camps, flying dragon, raging fire, and fierce wolf. You go to fierce wolf, and I go to flying wolf. We will meet in that restaurant at noon." .” Yuchi Pingting said and pointed to a restaurant not far away.
"Okay!" After saying that, the two separated.
The Feilong barracks is in the west of the city, and Yuchi Pingting is speeding through the crowd on horseback.
When she got to the front, she found that the Feilong barracks was different from what she had imagined. She thought that the Liao army would lose the battle and the soldiers would be very disappointed, but she was surprised to find that these soldiers looked radiant and full of energy. Is it worth being happy after losing a battle?As Yuchi Pingting was thinking, she quietly approached a soldier who was on patrol, pointed at her delicately, and the soldier fell to the ground.
After a while, the soldiers dressed up by Yuchi Pingting had already shuttled through the Feilong camp, and that poor Liao army soldier who had encountered such a thing on duty for the first time was being tied up in the depths of the woods near the barracks. on a tree.If it weren't for Yuchi Pingting's kind heart, she wouldn't have gone to such great effort to move him there just to save his life.
Yuchi Pingting took the opportunity to look for all the places where the detainees were held, but they were almost empty. While hesitating, someone called him.
Yuchi Pingting looked at the man's attire, he should be a general.Then he asked carefully, "My lord, what's the matter?"
The man said without turning his head, "Immediately inform the pioneer officer of the Fifth Route to come to my tent." After speaking, he walked into the tent of the Chinese army with a high spirit.Yuchi Pingting can confirm his identity now, if he is good, he should be the general of the Flying Dragon Battalion.
Five-way vanguard officer?Is there any mistake, this girl doesn't know any of them, but Yuchi Pingting is not in a hurry, because this little matter is not troublesome for her.
Yuchi Pingting walked to the door of a tent and said to the soldiers standing there: "The general wants you to inform the pioneer officer of the Fifth Route to gather in his tent. Hurry up." The soldier's expression made the soldier a little surprised. Although he didn't know why the general asked him to do something, but he was so excited that he didn't bother to think about it. He obeyed the order and went to inform immediately.
The wind and sand outside the Great Wall were floating all over the sky unscrupulously, and the floating dust seemed to be falling sand from the sky.Yuchi Pingting and his party raced faster and faster in the lonely wind and sand, without any slack.
Outside Yong'an Pass, it is extremely desolate and magnificent.After Yuchi Pingting and his party left the customs, facing the lonely and vast desert, they felt a surge of emotion in their hearts.
"Mother, it's so magnificent." Mo Mo couldn't help but said, this was the first time he went out to see such a vast scene. In my mind, something seemed to sprout for the first time.
"Thinking of this Yong'an Pass, it was very prosperous a hundred years ago. There is plenty of water and grass here, and it is a good place for animal husbandry. There used to be several royal horse farms here, and ordinary people made a living by raising animals." Yi Xiaoyao said thoughtfully: " Until the war between the two countries, the people here were devastated and the people were in dire straits. Over the past hundred years, the war between the two countries has continued to expand. The residents who were originally in the border had to leave the land where they were born and moved closer to the customs. Now some residents in the border can only make a living by exchanging trade with each other. I think I came here once 20 years ago, it was spring, and it was still green and full of vitality..." Yi Xiaoyao's face was full of incomprehensible emotions.That's right, outside the Yong'an Pass right now, it is full of devastation and desolation, and the flames of war are all together, and the lives of people are devastated.
"Xiaoyao, the trade you're talking about here is the famous dark field of gold carving and jade construction?" Yuchi Pingting asked after hearing the words.
It turned out that, as Yi Xiaoyao said, there used to be a lot of people from the two countries living outside the customs, but due to the war, not many people live here anymore, but this has caused many green forest people to haunt here.In particular, most of the fugitives who have been involved in serious cases are here, but none of these people are fuel-efficient, and they are unwilling to endure hardships here, so they engage in the business of licking their lives on the tip of a knife, mostly going to bustling cities to rob All kinds of treasures are then brought here to sell. Oftentimes, this kind of black trade is getting bigger and bigger, and the entire underground black market is becoming more and more blatant. Indeed, neither country has ever gone out to hunt down these people, so they It is even more arbitrary, so now the market is huge, and it is called "the dark field of gold carving and jade construction".
"Exactly. It turns out that the boss knows a lot about things outside the customs, but why have I never heard you mention it before." Yi Xiaoyao laughed.
"I've just heard about it, and I haven't actually been here. It's not easy to talk about it because of hearsay. I heard that this dark field of gold carvings and jade is controlled by a mysterious family, but I don't know who it is." Yuchi Pingting said arrive.
"Yes, this matter is extremely mysterious." Yi Xiaoyao cleared his throat, and continued: "The outside world only knows that the person in charge of this market transaction and a group of related people are all capable people in the martial arts, but the specific behind-the-scenes master is Who, but never knew."
"If it wasn't for something else, I would really like to visit this dark field." Yuchi Pingting smiled slightly, just like a blooming flower, adding a touch of color to the vast and desolate desert.She confessed that she had always been interested in such new and eccentric affairs.
"Boss, what's your plan next? Are we going to wander around like a lonely ghost in this vast desert?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"I'm going to take a look at the place where the accident happened. I want to see people when I'm alive, and I want to see corpses when I'm dead." Yuchi Pingting said firmly.
"Beiwushan, I heard that the place where the landslide happened is Beiwushan Nanhua Road, let's go this way." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a rocky mountain in the distance, and several people galloped in that direction with whips.
Nanhua Road is a meandering path at the southern end of Beiwu Mountain.Due to the landslide a few days ago, the mountain road was full of rocks, which made the already rugged mountain road even more difficult to walk.
"I heard that the soldiers involved in the accident were buried on the spot. Let's look for it." Yuchi Pingting said, but her pretty face was covered with a trace of sadness. She wondered if she could find Nangong Feiran among dozens of corpses. , and his younger brother Yuchi Changxun who just started his official career, but an intuition told her that Nangong Feiran must still be alive, and it was this intuition that she insisted on going out to look for it.
"Let Xiaobai help me." Mo Mo said, turning his head and said to Snow Mastiff who was following Yuchi Pingting: "Xiaobai, go find the place where dozens of soldiers' corpses are buried here, and find some sweets for you." eat."
As soon as Mo Mo finished speaking, the Snow Mastiff jumped up and galloped towards the northeast, like a flash of white lightning, Yuchi Pingting and the others rushed to catch up.
Snow Mastiff stopped at a place with a slightly flat terrain, looked at the few people who were catching up quickly, and groaned slightly.
"Bad Xiaobai, why are you running so fast, hum." Momo pouted as he spoke, turning his head away from the snow mastiff, but Xiaobai stood on his hind legs like a coquettish child, erecting his upper body and trying to reach the horse Momo.
"Boss, look." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a protruding soil bag in front of him, and then said: "It can be seen that the soil here is freshly turned, so it should be right here."
"Boss, are we really going to dig a grave?" Feng Qingyu asked softly, she didn't know if Yuchi Pingting's decision was appropriate.
"Dig, if you don't dig, how will you know if there is Nangong Feiran inside?" Yuchi Pingting's face was full of firmness and no doubt.
Although Yi Xiaoyao had been prepared for a long time, he brought a shovel with him when he came, but he still hesitated when he really wanted to do this.
Yuchi Pingting did not hesitate to shovel up a deep shovel of soil, then threw it aside, and said to Yi Xiaoyao who was still hesitating: "Why, Xiaoyao with a sword who is not even afraid of killing is afraid of death?"
"Are you kidding?" Yi Xiaoyao blushed, and immediately started to act. Seeing that Yuchi Pingting had made up his mind, Feng Qingyu no longer hesitated.Only Momo was running happily with the snow mastiff.
"Boss, look." Yi Xiaoyao yelled, he had already dug out a bone.
"Everyone, be careful and dig slowly." Yuchi Pingting said, her men had already reduced their strength.It seems that those soldiers who died in landslides were not very careful when they buried them, because the pit was dug very shallow and the soil covering it was not thick.Soon, a terrifying picture full of white bones appeared in front of several people, and suddenly, a foul smell came.
Yi Xiaoyao took the handkerchief that Feng Qingyu handed him, covered his mouth and nose, and then boldly jumped into the pit, carefully turning over the corpses, these corpses are now bones, they all look the same, it is not easy to distinguish , the only thing that can be distinguished is probably the clothes on their bodies.
"Boss, there is a lieutenant general here." Yi Xiaoyao pointed to a corpse, only his clothes were different from others, Yi Xiaoyao said again: "I don't know if this is Yuchi Changxun."
"No." Yuchi Pingting said with certainty: "Chang Xun is taller than this one, this is definitely not Chang Xun."
"Boss, the others seem to be soldiers, and the most important one is probably this lieutenant general." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Xiaoyao, let's see how many people are there?" Yuchi Pingting said, the doubts in her heart had become more and more serious, she faintly felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined.
"Boss, there are only 34 corpses, wait, it's strange..." Yi Xiaoyao said to himself.
"34? What's going on?" Yuchi Pingting also frowned.Because she remembered very clearly that she had seen the list of martyrs, except for a dozen people who died on the battlefield, the rest of the dead were all because of this landslide, and there should be 36 people who died due to the landslide, Why are there only 34 now?And there is no one who looks like a general in Nangong Fei.
"Xiaoyao, what did you find?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"Here, two people didn't seem to have died from landslides, but were hacked to death by someone with a knife..." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Take it up and have a look." Yuchi Pingting said after hearing the words, it seems that this matter is really not simple.
Yi Xiaoyao moved the two corpses up one by one with great effort, and Feng Qingyu hurriedly walked up to examine them carefully.
"Boss, there is indeed a problem." Feng Qingyu said to Yuchi Pingting after reading it.
"A sudden death?" Yuchi Pingting asked with a serious face.
"That's right, both of this person's feet are broken. It seems that he was injured under heavy pressure. It should be that he was crushed by a huge rock during a landslide, but this is not the cause of death. The cause of death is a sword in his chest. This, I am afraid, is caused by people. Alright." Said the wind softly.
"Boss, it seems that things are really not simple, but where should we go to find the prince?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
Yuchi Pingting didn't speak, just paced aside, Yi Xiaoyao and Feng Qingyu knew she was thinking when they saw this, so they rebuilt the dug tomb.
"There has been a problem from the very beginning." Yuchi Pingting said affirmatively, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, which showed the seriousness of the problem.
"Boss, you mean there is a problem with this war?" Yi Xiaoyao was puzzled.
"That's right, think about it. It turns out that the two countries were at war, and each battle would last at least three months, or even a year. Victory, casualties are few and far between. Isn't that strange?" Yuchi Pingting continued: "There must be something hidden about what happened during this period. I think our trip to the south may take some time." Yuchi Pingting thought to herself, since she has been targeted by her, no matter what kind of conspiracy it is, she will uncover it.
"Boss, where do we start to investigate now?" Feng Qingyu asked, anyway, it is really not easy to find someone on the border between the two countries.
"I heard that there is a town above this desert, isn't it?" Yuchi Pingting asked Yi Xiaoyao.
"That's right, the desert mountain villa, where business travelers will rest their feet, and the dark field built with gold carvings and jade is also there." Yi Xiaoyao said, he remembered that he followed his master here when he was a child, and went to the desert mountain villa and the dark field. field, but it has been 20 years, and I don't know what changes have taken place.
"Let's go there to rest first, and make arrangements after we settle down." Yuchi Pingting said as she carried Mo Mo onto the horse, and then got on the horse herself.
"Boss, how much do you know about this desert villa?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"I heard that the owner of this desert villa, Jun Tianxing, is a strange person. No one has seen his true face, and no one really understands his life experience and past. He suddenly came to this desert villa like a myth and became a Master."
"Yes, this Jun Tianxing lives in seclusion and is very mysterious. All his affairs are taken care of by his disciple Wantong. The two masters and apprentices both have unique skills, but they both regard fame as dirt. Starting a business, there is only one family in the desert, so the business has grown bigger and bigger, and the original mountain villa has been developed into a town. Although this Jun Tianxing is like a local emperor, no one has ever said that he is not good." Yi Xiaoyao said It reminded me of what happened with my master in the desert mountain villa 20 years ago.
"Sounds very attractive. The desert mountain villa, the dark field built with gold carvings and jade, is getting more and more interesting." Yuchi Pingting couldn't help smiling when she said that.
"But I've seen this deep mountain wasteland, where is there any town in the endless land?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"This desert villa is just behind Beiwu Mountain. If we are faster, we can get there before dark."
After saying that, the three of them waved their whips and drove their horses, galloping along the mountain path.
Desert Villa, as the name suggests.
The area between these two countries is very surprising. First there is a vast plain, and in the northeast there are continuous mountains. After the mountains, there is a vast desert. After leaving the desert, you can reach the Liao Kingdom.
The Desert Villa was originally a manor to receive business travelers from the past, but later more and more people came here, and the manor could not be accommodated. These people began to build houses near the manor. As a result, many people who had no fixed place Everyone came here, yes, more and more people in this place formed a town, but the name is still called Desert Villa.These people are not ordinary people who are honest and law-abiding, they are all people with skills, but their intentions here are different, but they live in peace.
At this time, the desert mountain villa was full of people, and the only tavern was full of people, who were competing for arm wrestling, and the winner could get a jar of fine wine from the store's collection.
Ever since Yuchi Pingting and his group entered this crowded place, people looked sideways at them from time to time.
Indeed, Yuchi Pingting and the others all seemed to be dignitaries, not to mention the beauty of the women, the handsomeness of the men, and the only child, Mo Mo, who was born cute and handsome.But most of the people still stared at the snow mastiff that came with them.
"Mother, these people's eyes are so fierce." Mo Mo said.
"Don't worry about them, don't look around." Yuchi Pingting said, she knew that the people here are not easy-going lamps, although she is not afraid of trouble, but now she doesn't want to cause trouble, she still has important things to do.
"Boss, let's go to the Desert Flying Eagle Inn." Yi Xiaoyao said, "Desert Villa is the only inn."
"Alright, I don't want to cause trouble, otherwise, I really want to go to the old manor in the desert mountain to stay and see this Jun Tianxing." Yuchi Pingting's face was full of conceit.
"The Flying Eagle in the Desert is said to be opened by Wantong, a disciple of Jun Tianxia, the owner of Desert Villa. Although they are not in charge of this place, the business travelers who come and go can't escape their eyes." Yi Xiaoyao said.
"Okay, maybe we need help right now. Let's go to Flying Eagle in the desert." Yuchi Pingting said.
"It would be great if we could get their help, but I'm afraid it won't be easy." Yi Xiaoyao said, he knew that the desperadoes living here were either willing to sacrifice their lives for money, but for them, there was no such thing. There is no morality at all, whoever bids the most will work for him, and there are some people who are not driven by money, they are all eccentric people.
During the conversation, several people had already arrived outside an inn.
Seen from the outside, this inn has three floors, and a large apricot-yellow flag hangs crookedly outside the door, and the four big characters "Desert Flying Eagle" on it are written in dragons and phoenixes.There was no mistress coming out to lead the horse or greet the guests, everything seemed indifferent, but Yuchi Pingting could clearly feel a strong anger here.
Yi Xiaoyao led the horse and walked towards the stable, Yuchi Pingting took Mo Mo's hand and walked into the inn together with Feng Qingyu.
This inn is really not small, the first floor is full of tables, chairs and benches, obviously it looks like a restaurant, and the second and third floors are guest rooms.
Yuchi Pingting took a glance, there were not many people in the lobby on the first floor, a man in green robe was sitting in a corner deep in the hall, eating and drinking leisurely, he didn't raise his head to look at the few people who came in.In addition, at a table near the stove, three or five tables were put together, and there were a total of more than a dozen people sitting there. It seemed that they were Qiang people from the past, and they were talking in words that Yuchi Pingting could not understand, until Yuchi Pingting talked to Feng Qingyu Walking in, several tall and burly men stopped the wine glasses in their hands and looked at them. They could see that their eyes lit up, and then they smiled and talked to each other, full of obscene voices.
"How many guests, are you going to eat or stay in a hotel?" At this time, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl approached and asked.
Yuchi Pingting took a look at this girl, dressed in a Hu suit, she looked rough and unrestrained, but her brows did not lose the aura and liveliness of a girl, with two deep dimples inlaid on her face, she was smiling and asking them at this moment.At this time Yi Xiaoyao also came in, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards Yuchi Pingting.
"Eat and stay at the hotel." Yuchi Pingting said.She clearly saw the strange color in the girl's eyes when she saw Yi Xiaoyao.
"Folks, please follow me." The girl said and led them upstairs, but her eyes flew towards Yi Xiaoyao from time to time, and she said as she walked, "This is the first time for you to come here. .”
Yuchi Pingting said "hmm" and didn't say much.
"Miss sister, my name is Momo, what's your name?" Momo asked while holding the girl's hand, he seemed very interested in the strange ornaments on the girl's body.
"My name is Lan Ning'er, you can just call me Ning'er, in this store, besides the boss, I'm the only guy, so if you have anything to do, just call me." Lan Ning'er said with a smile.
Lan Ning'er brought them to the third floor, Yi Xiaoyao was alone, Yuchi Pingting and Feng Qingyu took Mo Mo to the room, and after putting away their luggage, they turned and went downstairs to eat.
The three chose a table in the corner and sat down. After ordering a few small dishes, Yuchi Pingting took a look around. The inn was not small, but why did it only have one clerk.
"Boss, this place is indeed a strange and reckless place, and inns and restaurants are places where troubles can easily arise, but there is only one clerk, and she is a little girl." Feng Qingyu said and glanced at Lan Ning'er who was busy .
"Hee hee, Uncle Xiaoyao, I think that young lady likes you." Mo Mo said with a smirk.
"What do you know, you little kid, don't talk nonsense." Yi Xiaoyao reprimanded pretending to be serious, while Yuchi Pingting and Feng Qingyu laughed and said nothing.
"Uncle Xiaoyao is blushing and shy." Mo Mo clapped his hands and said.
"No way!" Yi Xiaoyao touched his face involuntarily as he spoke, as if he was really hot, and was about to quibble, but saw Lan Ning'er coming over with a jug, so he stopped making a sound.
"This is the wine brewed by the shop itself. Please try it. This place is not as good as Guannei, so the wine will be stronger." Her voice like a silver bell is very moving.
"Miss Ning'er, the two countries went to war a few days ago. When the war started, will it affect this place?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"That's not true, why did my sister ask this?" Lan Ning'er seemed very friendly, and directly called Yuchi Pingting her sister.
"It's nothing, I just want to find someone..." Yuchi Pingting hesitated to speak.
"Oh, it seems that you are from Liang Kingdom, are you going to Liao Kingdom to find someone?" Lan Ning'er blinked and asked.
"Tell you, will you help us find it?" Mo Mo asked with a smile.
"No, if I leave, the boss will have to die alone, but I heard that after the war, there was indeed a general in the Liang army who returned to the Liao army with the Liao army." Lan Ning'er said casually.
But her casual words made Yuchi Pingting's heart tremble. From the south to Nangong Feiran, has she been captured?No, with his personality, even if he died, he would not wait until he was captured.
"Is this true?" Yuchi Pingting asked hastily.
"I just said it, I don't know if it's true." Lan Ning said and walked away, because the table full of Qiang people invited her to serve wine.
"Boss, do you think it might be the prince?" Feng Qingyu asked.
"Whether it's true or not, I have to go and see." Yuchi Pingting said, indeed, she has no clue now, everything is helpless, she can only try.
"Xiaoyao, I'll go to Liao Kingdom tomorrow to inquire about you. Qingyu, you stay here with Mo Mo, and proceed carefully." Yuchi Pingting ordered.
"Mother, I also want to go to Liao country to find my father." Mo Mo was dissatisfied.
"Mo Mo, you and Aunt Qingyu are here to inquire about news, see if you can get other news." Yuchi Pingting coaxed Mo Mo.
Just as I was talking, a middle-aged man about forty years old came over with a dish, and while serving the dish, he said with a smile: "The restaurant is located in a remote place, and the dishes are limited. The boss here, if you have any orders, just give me a drink and I will come."
Yuchi Pingting looked at this boss, but he was different from that Lan Ning'er. The boss was dressed plainly, different from Lan Ning'er's gorgeous Hu suit.But both of them seem to love to laugh, and their smiles are very sincere, Yuchi Pingting thought, to be able to settle down in this kind of place, these two people must not be ordinary people.
Feng Qingyu said worriedly: "Boss, you two are going to Liao Kingdom, so be careful in everything."
"Don't worry, with me here, nothing will happen." Yi Xiaoyao patted his chest, and then said: "If you want me to tell you, you have to be careful, I think those Qiang people have bad intentions " Yi Xiaoyao said in a low voice.
Feng Qingyu glanced over there, and there were indeed a few men looking at them from time to time.
"Then Xiaobai and I will protect Aunt Qingyu." Mo Mo followed Yi Xiaoyao's example and patted his chest.
"That person is really strange." Yi Xiaoyao motioned to the green-robed man sitting in the corner with his back facing them: "From the moment he came in, he has always been in that position, except for occasionally moving his hands to drink, the rest of the body They haven't moved at all, they look like a dead man."
Yuchi Pingting has also noticed this, but she has no time to think about it now, is what Lan Ning'er said is true or not, if it is true, Nangong Feiran was captured by the Liao army, how should she save it?If it is fake, then where is Nangong Feiran whose body is missing?There are more and more doubts in Yuchi Pingting's heart, and she feels that it will be difficult for her to live the carefree days in Fengyu Villa again.
"Qingyu, you have to ask a lot here, but you must be careful yourself." Yuchi Pingting told Feng Qingyu, and then said to Momo: "My dear son, you have to listen to Auntie and don't be naughty, okay?"
"En." Mo Mo responded.
Yuchi Pingting picked up the wine glass and said, "Since I left Fengyu Mountain Villa, I haven't been able to have a good drink with you. Since I have this opportunity today, let's have a drink." Yuchi Pingting said.
"Boss, why are you talking like parting? It's not like we won't see each other again. Momo and I are waiting for good news from you and Xiaoyao." Feng Qingyu also picked up the wine glass, but her heart was still a little sour. What will you encounter when you go to Liao Kingdom?
"That's right, Boss, don't be so sad, we will take the son back to Luoyang City." Yi Xiaoyao also raised his glass.
The strong wine passed over the tip of her tongue, and it was really fragrant and bitter. Yuchi Pingting knew that she had a strong premonition that there might be many troubles in this line of work.
The next day, Yuchi Pingting and Yi Xiaoyao dressed up a little, pretending to be Liao people, so they easily sneaked into the Liao country.
"Boss, you won't just search aimlessly like this?" Yi Xiaoyao asked.
"Then what suggestion do you have?" Yuchi Pingting asked.
"The three major camps of the Liao Army are here. They have just withdrawn their troops, and they probably won't be returning to the capital anytime soon. Why don't we go to the barracks to have a look." Yi Xiaoyao said.
The corners of Yuchi Pingting's lips rose, and Yi Xiaoyao said exactly what she thought, so she said, "Three major camps, flying dragon, raging fire, and fierce wolf. You go to fierce wolf, and I go to flying wolf. We will meet in that restaurant at noon." .” Yuchi Pingting said and pointed to a restaurant not far away.
"Okay!" After saying that, the two separated.
The Feilong barracks is in the west of the city, and Yuchi Pingting is speeding through the crowd on horseback.
When she got to the front, she found that the Feilong barracks was different from what she had imagined. She thought that the Liao army would lose the battle and the soldiers would be very disappointed, but she was surprised to find that these soldiers looked radiant and full of energy. Is it worth being happy after losing a battle?As Yuchi Pingting was thinking, she quietly approached a soldier who was on patrol, pointed at her delicately, and the soldier fell to the ground.
After a while, the soldiers dressed up by Yuchi Pingting had already shuttled through the Feilong camp, and that poor Liao army soldier who had encountered such a thing on duty for the first time was being tied up in the depths of the woods near the barracks. on a tree.If it weren't for Yuchi Pingting's kind heart, she wouldn't have gone to such great effort to move him there just to save his life.
Yuchi Pingting took the opportunity to look for all the places where the detainees were held, but they were almost empty. While hesitating, someone called him.
Yuchi Pingting looked at the man's attire, he should be a general.Then he asked carefully, "My lord, what's the matter?"
The man said without turning his head, "Immediately inform the pioneer officer of the Fifth Route to come to my tent." After speaking, he walked into the tent of the Chinese army with a high spirit.Yuchi Pingting can confirm his identity now, if he is good, he should be the general of the Flying Dragon Battalion.
Five-way vanguard officer?Is there any mistake, this girl doesn't know any of them, but Yuchi Pingting is not in a hurry, because this little matter is not troublesome for her.
Yuchi Pingting walked to the door of a tent and said to the soldiers standing there: "The general wants you to inform the pioneer officer of the Fifth Route to gather in his tent. Hurry up." The soldier's expression made the soldier a little surprised. Although he didn't know why the general asked him to do something, but he was so excited that he didn't bother to think about it. He obeyed the order and went to inform immediately.
