The beauty is endless

Chapter 32
Murong Ye, the Sixth Prince of Dayou, was born to the same mother as Murong Zheng, the current Emperor of Yong'an, but his brother's temperament is quite different. As the name suggests, Murong Ye is wild-tempered and has a rough mind. He loves martial arts and fighting since he was a child. Enemy, now Dayou's most prestigious young general, has guarded the two great passes of Tongyun and Zixia for many years, and is Murong Zheng's right-hand man.

Murong Qi's time in the palace was not short, but the number of times he saw this cousin was very few.Now that I want to meet him, it is absolutely impossible to rush to the front door in the name of "Princess Yan Rong". Speaking of Zixiaguan Daying, which is as solid as gold, even if she is the best in martial arts in the world, it is unlikely that she will fight back and forth quietly.

Murong Qi tightened his cloak and looked down from his hiding place.Not far from the cliff is the big camp. It was almost early morning, and the mountains were still dark, but the huge camp was brightly lit. Teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth. She observed for a long time, but she didn't find any free time.

"This kid is very strict in running the army." She muttered, and was about to change the entrance to find another way, but saw a cloud of dust rising from the mountain road not far away, and a group of chariots and horses slowly appeared between the mountain passes.

Her heart moved, and she crouched down again.

There are a lot of horses in this team, and there are nearly a hundred guards alone. Although the decorations on the cars are not gorgeous, the horses are all good horses, and the standard of the carriages is also unusual for business travel. From the official family.

She thought about it for a moment, and slowly moved towards the direction of the convoy.

If I remember correctly, the envoys from various countries going to Baishuo should have almost arrived at Zixia Pass...

Seeing that the horses and chariots were approaching, the heavy and huge gate of the camp slowly opened, and a man in official uniform walked out from inside, followed by heavily armed soldiers, who stood on both sides of the road to greet him early.

Looking at the embroidery on that person's official uniform, his rank should not be low, Murong Qi became more and more sure of his guess, but when he thought of the person sitting in the carriage, he inevitably hesitated.Seeing the carriages and horses slowly stop, she had no choice but to shake her heart, took off her cloak, followed a few light ups and downs, and quietly followed at the end of the convoy.

Taking advantage of the time when the two sides were handing over, she sneaked into the bottom of the last wagon piled with sundries, climbed the axle, and looked for the only car that would not be inspected, until she heard a familiar coughing sound in her ear.

With the light of the torch, Murong Qi saw that the carriage he was in seemed to be wider than the ones that passed by just now, the mortise and tenon joints were exquisitely made, and the copper nails were all new.She reached out and grabbed the shaft of the car, flipped over lightly, and crashed directly into the car door.

There were two people in the carriage, the young servant boy was making tea, before he could raise his head, Murong Qi covered his mouth and couldn't move.The other person was reading a book, and when he first saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise, and then those surprises turned into a smile, with a peaceful expression, as if seeing an old friend for many years.

"Qiqi, why are you here?"

This person is none other than Wei Nange, the chief minister of the Dayou Dynasty and the head assistant of Wenyuan Pavilion.

It was also Murong Qi's guess that the horses and chariots were Dayou envoys.She originally thought that if Wei Nange was really in the car, she might be able to use him to enter the Zixia Pass camp smoothly.

But at this moment when I really met him face to face, I suddenly forgot the excuse I had just thought up.She looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Qingjun, feeling a little confused: "I...I want to borrow Master Wei's carriage to hide for a while..."

Wei Nange lowered his eyebrows and said, "What if I say no?"

"Uh……"

Seeing her speechless appearance, Wei Nange couldn't help laughing, turned around and uncovered the soft blanket hanging on the car wall behind him for insulation, and said softly: "Come here, but before that, please let the heroine let go of me. Little tea boy, don't frighten him."

Just as Murong Qi expected, no one came to check Wei Nange's car, only someone asked a few polite words through the door, the little tea boy answered Wei Nange's instructions one by one, and soon the carriage started moving again, Murong Listening to the sound of the camp gate closing slowly, Qi let out a sigh of relief.

"Qi Qi, you can come out now." Wei Nange turned around and pulled the soft blanket away. Murong Qi stuck out half his head and saw that the little tea boy had got off the car. There were only the two of them in the big car, and the copper pot on the small stove was purring. The sound of gurgling water.

She shifted her eyes to him, and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, I owe you a favor, and I will definitely pay it back sometime."

Seeing that she was about to get off the car, Wei Nange hurriedly reached out to stop her: "Here is heavily guarded, where are you going?"

"Well...I'm going to find Murong Ye to talk about the old days."

"Since we are looking for the Sixth Prince to reminisce about the past, why hide in my carriage?" Wei Nange's question left Murong Qi speechless, and after a long silence, he resigned himself to his fate: "Okay, to tell you the truth, I did it for Ask Murong Ye for a customs clearance document."

As for how to do it, whether it is stealing, robbing, or threatening to lure, that is another matter.

Wei Nange smiled knowingly: "Want to go to Baishuo?"

She sighed: "Nothing can be hidden from you."

"In that case, why alarm the sixth prince?"

Murong Qi's heart moved, and he sat down opposite him with his hands, his eyes lit up: "You mean..."

"Why did I come to Zixia Pass? Presumably Qiqi is very clear about it. Instead of looking for something far away, why don't you ask for a tower near the water?"

Having said that, Murong Qi hurriedly followed suit: "Master Wei, I beg you to take me out of the customs."

Wei Nange smiled lightly: "I've already asked the tea boy to get the maid's clothes, and you can change in the car later, so come with me."

Wei Nange and his party were arranged at the inn at the southernmost part of the camp. As an envoy, Wei Nange had to meet Murong Ye early in the morning. As Wei Nange's accompanying maid, Murong Qi could only stare at the rolling mountains and the open sky outside the window in a daze. .

According to the itinerary, they will have to stay here for a day before starting their journey. Although they can avoid a lot of troubles when they leave the customs, their actions will be restricted if they follow a large group of horses and horses.

For example, since she had to pretend to serve Wei Nange, it was inevitable to serve tea and water.

If it was changed to a few months ago, she would have regarded it as a good job, accepted it readily and devoted herself to it, but it is different now, and now she still feels a little embarrassed to have to face him day and night.

She still thinks he is very good, but she no longer has the mood when she first met under the cherry tree, so his goodness has become the landscape in the painting, and the stars and moon in the night sky are all beautiful, but she no longer has her own. Mind, as long as you look at it from a distance, it is enough.

Just as he was thinking about something, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Miss Yanran, my lord asked you to go to Zixia Town to buy something for him."

Murong Qi turned his head when he heard that, and saw Wei Nange's little tea boy standing at the door, holding a basket and a waist card in his hand.

She was overjoyed: "Shopping?"

The little tea boy nodded and handed over the things in his hand: "Miss, please run for a while, this is the entry and exit badge of Zixiaguan Daying Camp."

After speaking, he leaned over again and said in a low voice: "My lord has ordered, girl, don't be too late, remember to come back before dinner."

Murong Qi pondered for a while, then picked up the basket and flipped through it again, and saw a note inside, some common gadgets such as incense pens and inks were written in elegant handwriting, which confirmed her conjecture more and more. Why need a day?This is clearly the kind and considerate Lord Wei who gave her a vacation.

In this way, it can not only relieve boredom, but also avoid facing him all day, which is really great.

She immediately changed into light clothes, borrowed a horse, and walked away under the surprised eyes of the guards.

It took only half an hour to ride a horse to Zixia Town. Before that, she wanted to go to another place.

Zixiaguan Holding Sword Villa has become a legend that will soon be forgotten in the minds of a generation of Jianghu people.

Back then, the famous sect, which was as famous as Hongshui Gang, Jiaye Palace, and Dafanyin Temple, occupied the huge mansion on the entire mountainside facing Zixia Xiongguan. Now there is only a ruined wall overgrown with weeds.The bright sunlight fell from the top of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, passed through the doors, windows and pillars hung with cobwebs, and cast it on the blue brick floor covered in scorched black so that the original color could not be seen.Murong Qi led the horse and walked slowly among the ruins, recalling the heroic appearance of the owner of the villa back then, he could not help but sigh in his heart.

It is said that this place was burnt down by Ban Weilian, the king of Baishuo Khan, who was not yet a weak crown. , The words are full of nostalgia and regret.

She came to the most central courtyard of the villa, where there was still a big tree surrounded by several people, and now there were only strong branches pointing to the sky.Murong Qi tied up his horse and sat down to rest, squinting his eyes to bask in the sun, when suddenly there was a "click" in his ear, which was very clear in this empty ruins.

She jumped up, picked up a stone and flicked it towards the place where the sound came from, and then people rushed over.

"Who is hiding there secretly? Come out for me!"

The stone was caught lightly, and a person appeared behind a broken wall that hadn't completely collapsed. Although he was standing against the light, Murong Qi stopped his feet abruptly when he saw the outline, took two steps back, and turned his head. just run.

"stop!"

The owner of the voice aroused a deep echo in the ruins with an angry ending.

Murong Qi didn't even want a horse, and ran and scurried all the way, slipped a long way, and then slowly regained consciousness.

I didn't do anything wrong, so why run?
Only then did she stop, turned around and shouted to the people behind her, "Stop! Ah Che, stop chasing me, I won't run away!"

By the way, that night, after Ji Che told Fengjianhua about returning to Fengdu, the two rushed to Sunset Slope together, but although there were many people on the slope, Murong Qi was not seen.

Kazama Flower cooperatively provided the address of the inn, but not only could no one be found in the inn, even the luggage was gone.

Ji Che immediately decided to leave overnight. Based on his understanding of Murong Qi, since she did come to Zixia Pass but disappeared, then she either went to the former site of Holding Sword Villa or sneaked into Bai Shuo.

He thought, if she still can't be found in these two places, then this journey will come to an end, and he will not ask the bottom line any more, just like his heart, no matter how reluctant he is, he will not force it.

He believed that he could do a good job, but when he really saw her appearing in the courtyard under the sun, the entanglements, worries, thoughts and anger that had bothered him all the way turned into nothingness all of a sudden.

It seemed that as long as she saw her standing in front of her, it was enough.

Murong Qi looked at that familiar stern face, but he was actually very happy. He looked quite weather-beaten. People who have been in the water all year round must not be too happy to come to this sandy place in Mobei. Habit.

Ji Che didn't say anything, just took one step towards her, another step.

She felt that his expression was a bit gloomy, so she couldn't help but quietly took another half step back, and said softly, "What's wrong with you..."

He held out his hand to her.

"Fight... fight..."

She subconsciously stretched out her hands to block, but the next moment she was tightly embraced by a pair of strong arms, and the tip of her nose hit his shoulder. It hurt a little, but she couldn't move. He hugged him so tightly that Murong Qi had an illusion , as if he would disappear the next moment.

Since the reunion in Liaoyang Jing, no, it should be said that he has never hugged her like this since he was an adult.This way of hugging is very different, Murong Qi can't tell what is different, although it is not annoying, it is not so comfortable.

"Let go!" After waiting for a while, she couldn't help reaching out and thumping his back, and shouted sullenly, "Do you want to suffocate me?"

He let go of her very lightly and slowly, until he pushed her away by an arm's length, held her arms with both hands, and looked her up and down with a frown.Murong Qi felt that his expression was really not friendly, but his eyes were extremely gentle. For some reason, she originally wanted to snatch a few words first, but now she couldn't say anything.

Anyway, seeing old friends in a foreign land is always a good thing.

"Ache, why are you here?"

Ji Che asked, "Are you injured?"

She shook her head quickly.

"Have you encountered any danger along the way?"

She thought about it, there were dangers, but they were resolved one by one, so it was nothing, so she shook her head again without complaining to him.

"Feng Yuan... Did Ju Ze's son make things difficult for you?"

Murong Qi still shook his head, but suddenly froze, and said in astonishment: "Do you know that Feng Yuan is the son of Ju Ze?"

Ji Che was noncommittal to her question, let go of his palm, and then answered the question at the beginning: "Since you left Qinglian Town, I have been paying attention to your whereabouts, especially after knowing Feng Yuan's true identity."

She asked in a daze, "You've been looking for me?"

He raised his eyebrows.

I don't know why...it seems to be a little inexplicable guilt...

"Actually I'm not..."

"If you want to go, I won't stop you, but at least let me know where you are going."

The two spoke almost at the same time, but Ji Che's words made Murong Qi a little confused.

Why, why tell him?Isn't it just to draw a line with him by leaving without saying goodbye this time?
She thought so, so she asked.

He simply replied, "I would be concerned."

She noticed that his tone was a little different from before, and couldn't help but look up, there was a faint light flickering in his eyes, she didn't know if it was the sunlight above his head, or the snow light in the distance.

Time seemed to be frozen, until Ji Che breathed out lightly, and said in a deep voice, "I have something to ask you, you should listen carefully."

For some reason, she was a little nervous.

However, before Ji Che could speak, there was a faint voice coming from not far away, coming in this direction.The two exchanged glances, and quietly hid behind the high wall where Ji Che was hiding just now.

The visitors walked and chatted, and often stopped to rest. After about a cup of tea, two figures appeared after the wall was broken. A man and a woman each led a horse. The woman was petite and her dress was thin. The collar and cuffs are decorated with white fox fur, and the ornaments on his body are also very luxurious. Although the small face is still childish, it is very beautiful.

She was talking to the man in white beside her. Although her expression was somewhat arrogant, she couldn't hide the admiration in her eyes.The man just responded with a smile, occasionally answering a sentence or two, but also maintaining a slight alienation.

Murong Qi was a little dazed, she didn't expect that these two people were old acquaintances.

That girl was the arrogant and domineering "Xiao Zhi" who disguised herself as a man in the restaurant before, and the man beside her was Feng Yuan!
