Chapter 619 Current Situation

Times have changed, and the original fortress city has acquired huge economic attributes, but Zhenxi Fucheng was ultimately built to cope with the war. As the sun sets in the west, the watchmen of the City Defense Department begin to shout about the curfew, and the streets and alleys are busy with traffic. The noise quickly faded away like the tide.

Rows of houses and buildings with raised eaves seemed to be frozen in the sunset for eternity, and then disappeared into the darkness of the night.

The long street that was plunged into darkness became silent and empty, and the homeless merchants gathered in the large and small inns and restaurants. People of all kinds in the halls gathered in groups, shouting loudly, drinking and having fun.

These noises passed through the stairs, past the corridor and the wooden door of a guest room that was not soundproof.

The guest room is small and the decoration is simple and simple. There is no heavy smoke, but it is filled with a faint fragrance.

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 formal clothes indoors. Her upper body was wrapped in a bra like a woman from the Western Regions, and her lower body was in a pair of silk trousers. A pair of slender legs were constantly intertwined as she walked, and her figure was slender. And graceful.

As if aware of the anxiety in the other party's heart, the big yellow dog's tail swept from time to time with a faint intention to please.

But unfortunately,

This flattery had no effect.

When the slender woman walked up to the big yellow dog, she caught a glimpse of the guy staring at her, and suddenly kicked the dog's squatting butt angrily:

"What are you looking at?"

"Ouch"

The big yellow dog was kicked in pain and immediately jumped up and down 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 barked a few times to show its grievance.

The woman sitting next to the bed looked much gentler, with picturesque eyebrows and a waist as thin as a willow supporting the wind. Her jewel-like green and clear eyes glanced at the slender woman, and then stretched out her delicate hands to rub the big yellow dog's head for comfort.

The dog narrowed his eyes in enjoyment, mouthed twice and wanted to jump on the bed, but as soon as he started, the tall woman's cold voice came over:

"If you dare to go to bed, I'll break your legs!"

"."

Hearing Lihe, the big yellow dog stopped moving, lay down on the ground, and began to roll on its belly to please.

The tall woman snorted coldly when she saw this, and started pacing in the room again.

The woman from the Western Region who was sitting by the bed stared at the slender woman who was pacing for a few breaths, and then she suddenly spoke softly, speaking in Yan language, but it was a bit difficult to pronounce:

"Li Junwu, are you so weird today because of what those lunatics said in the evening?"

Hearing this, Li Junwu frowned and glanced at the fairy-like lady from the Western Region, and hummed:

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

The woman from the Western Region smiled slightly:

"You and I are sitting on the same boat now, so it naturally has something to do with me."

Li Junwu paused, staring at the Desert Goddess with a bit of amusement in his eyes, and said in a rustling voice:

"Jiayi, don't think that I don't know what you want to do."

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

"You are so wary of me, why don't you use Linlang's incarnation as a cover? If it hadn't shielded this room, I'm afraid you would have been found by the traitors of our family, 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 chest was soft and pressed against his bare thighs, and his voice was slow and slow:

"It's really pitiful. You have returned to your city, but you don't have anyone you can trust. You can only wait until your father returns to the city."

Li Junwu was not angry after hearing this. He casually grabbed the long hair that was scattered in front of him and put it behind his ears, and retorted:

"No matter what, I, Li Junwu, am at least better than you, a desert goddess. I am being chased around like a wild dog. I want to recognize my owner and ask for help, but in the end, they just want to kill you and eat dog meat."

Saying,

A warning flashed through Li Junwu's handsome black eyes, staring at the other person's graceful figure:

"Also, are you itchy again?"

Jia Yi's delicate eyes froze slightly, her chest rose and fell slightly, and after forcing herself to calm down, she said slowly:

"Li Junwu, I don't want to quarrel with you. Instead of speculating on your own, why not tell the matter and let's find a solution together."

"."

A gust of warm wind penetrated into the room from the partially covered window lattice, ruffling the two women's long hair in silence.

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

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

"When that crazy person shouted, was someone sending you a code?"

"."

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

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

Jia Yi looked at her dimple, remained silent for a while, 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's a trap."

The Desert Goddess lightly pursed her red lips, looked at the woman beside her, and took a deep breath: "We don't need to take this risk now."

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

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

"."

Silence spreads.

Li Junwu felt a little headache and raised his delicate hand to hammer the center of his brow. As if he had figured something out, he suddenly chuckled and said with a smile:

"It has been a scourge for thousands of years. I knew that guy would not die so easily. It made me worry for so long in vain."

Jia Yi's slender feet gently rubbed against the rough wooden floor and said slowly:

"Do you trust that person?"

"certainly."

Li Junwu took it for granted and looked back with a gentle smile: "I'm going to send Cang Bei to get in touch with the bait that guy throws out."

Cangbei, Li Junwu's only surviving personal guard.

When Jia Yi heard this, she touched the ground with her crystal toes and said softly:

"I mean, even if we come into contact with that person, can it change the environment we are in? You must know that your Zhenxi Mansion has been completely infiltrated now."

While talking,

Jia Yi stretched out her slender hand to hold Li Junwu's wrist, and whispered quickly:

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

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

"What's your suggestion?"

"As long as your Zhenxi Mansion is willing to help me and help me gain control of the Tarchao Royal Court, I swear in the name of the Goddess of the Desert that there will be no more war in the Western Desert for a hundred years."

"Then I have to go out of the city with you first to find Linlang's true form?"

"." Jia Yi.

Li Junwu chuckled and broke away from Jia Yi's delicate hand, saying softly:

"Stop joking, do you think what you are saying is realistic? My father and I are not in the habit of raising self-esteem among bandits, and you must know that our Zhenxi Army has a blood feud with you Tachao people."

While talking,

Li Junwu stood up in a rustling manner, walked to the window lattice, looked at the place where the crazy man who shouted just now passed by, a touch of tenderness flashed in his heroic eyebrows, and said in a Qing voice:

"Humph, even though that guy seems unreliable on weekdays, I believe him when it comes to such big matters of right and wrong.

"Furthermore, the fact that he can guess that this girl is in this Zhenxi Mansion has already explained a lot of things. With his status, he should be able to do a lot of things."

Jia Yi stared at her back and insisted:

"Isn't it possible that the person you are talking about is an insider for those who want to kill us?"

Li Junwu immediately looked back when he heard this, with a bit of amusement in his eyes, his voice was slightly longer, and he pursed his lips and smiled:

"He. Even if you betray the Tachao people, he will not compromise with those sect members."

After the words fell, the room fell into silence.

The big yellow dog lay at the feet of the Desert Goddess, looking up at the two girls in the room with clear eyes and curiosity. Its wagging tail rubbed against the Goddess's exposed bronze calves from time to time.

"boom."

Jia Yi lightly kicked the dead dog and let it crawl away, then suddenly smiled softly at Li Junwu:

"If that person is what you said, then we might be able to break the situation."

Li Junwu bent his beautiful eyes and shrugged, put on a piece of clothing to cover the large area of ​​exposed skin, threw another one to the Desert Goddess, and whispered:

"Put on your clothes, Cangbei should be back soon."

The night in Zhenxi Fucheng is really quiet.

Sitting in front of the threshold and looking up at the stars in the sky, a sound of horse hooves suddenly whistled from outside the courtyard door. Xu Yuan subconsciously found out his soul, but what was disappointing was that the person outside the courtyard was not the person he was waiting for, but a formation. Neatly mounted guards patrolling.

As far as the actual situation is concerned, the curfew system in Zhenxi Mansion is a bit stricter than that in Beifeng City.

Not to mention the right to kill pedestrians encountered at night and then report them later, in the event of a battle, they even have the right to break down the door and search without reason.

besides,

The cavalry captains who passed by the door and were in charge of patrols all had authority tokens that could control part of the city defense formation.

The officials responsible for civil affairs and the city defense department in charge of the city defense formation are all here.

However, this may be a common problem in the major border towns of Great Yan.

The military governs the country.

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

Everything is about war.

There are no cicadas chirping in the summer in the desert, only endless silence as far as the eye can see.

Hearing that silence had returned outside the door, Xu Yuan stopped looking up at the stars and began to close his eyes to rest.

The beautiful scenery that was rarely seen in the previous life is a bit numb in this life.

Time ticked by until midnight. Xu Yuan did not hear the expected knock on the door. Instead, the mounted guards wandered back to the courtyard door several times.

The sound of horse's hooves is neither fast nor slow, clicking on the bluestone road, and can be heard far away in the night.

here we go again.

Listening to the noise outside, Xu Yuan used his spiritual vision to poke out the door, but the result he got was still the same as before.

Watching this group of conscientious mounted guards walking away, I was about to withdraw my spiritual vision when I suddenly noticed two figures appearing at the end of the alleyway.

The two figures were not weak in cultivation. They were about ten feet away and arrived at the door of his courtyard in one leap.

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

Zhou Chen and a strange young man.

Thoughts flashed across Xu Yuan's mind and he saw the strange young man trying to jump over the wall to enter, but was pulled down by Zhou Chen and pointed at the door knocker.

When you 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 natural and was about to raise his hand to knock on the door.

"."

This Grandmaster Zhou knows how to show his presence.

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

"Just come in."

Hua La --

There was a subtle sound of robes flashing, and the two people outside the door landed in this 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, I've brought the person."

"."

Xu Yuan sat on the doorstep, ignored Zhou Chen, and looked 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 torches, and bowed his hands:

"I came to see you on the order of the princess."

Standing up and patting his gray robe, Xu Yuan smiled slightly:

"Now that you have seen her, can you tell me where she is?"

The resolute young man clenched his hands slightly as he saluted the Great Yan Army , whispered:

"Before that, I have to confirm a question with you first."

"Your princess is really a little suspicious, ask it."

"."

The resolute young man pondered for a while, stared at Xu Yuan, and asked in a deep voice:

"The princess asked, who is she better than?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this question, Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, and the afterglow of the waterfall sprinkled on his handsome mask, with a hint of strangeness:

"What did you say she asked just now?"

"."

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

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

"Brother, don't worry, 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 great enemy, Xu Yuan did not talk nonsense, recalled a little, and answered slowly:

"Li Qingyan, or Wu Yuan."

"Yes."

"Huh. So naive."

The code was correct, and Xu Yuan laughed subconsciously.

However, after seeing the young man's slightly hostile eyes, he also restrained his smile and asked:

"What's your name, brother?"

The resolute young man took a deep breath and whispered:

"You can call me Cangbei."

Cangbei

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

After taking a look at the young man, Xu Yuan did not continue to ask the other party's name, and got back to the point:

"Cangbei, since her identity has been confirmed, can you tell me where she is now?"
