V3.Chapter 1

The turmoil in the imperial palace of the Qi Dynasty was covered up by Sima Rui. Except for the eunuchs and concubines in the inner palace, the people in the capital only knew that there was a rebellion in the Imperial Palace, and they always claimed that the third prince who disappeared on the way to the imperial mausoleum without any reason was the hero who came to rescue him. Now the emperor is seriously ill and has delegated the power of assisting the government to Sima Rui, a young and promising third prince, For this matter, the praise echoed repeatedly. Only a few innocent old courtiers in the court knew that the news and praise were released by Sima Rui himself.

Now in the imperial court, Menghua has been removed with the last Fufa of Yun imperial concubine, and King Ning has been shielded from the court. Although King Ning's house is now safe and sound, King Ning has no real power, and the left behind in the court are either the new people promoted by Sima Rui in the early days, or the old ministers of Qin Zhi who have been relying on Sima Rui. In the back palace, there are Rong Fei sitting in the town, and they are not Dare someone to make a mistake, Zhao Xuandi's daily life is left in charge of by Rong Fei, which is also under the full control of Sima Rui.

The most troubling thing for Sima Rui is the 3000 Leng family soldiers who stand out from the encirclement. The first one is a young general in his twenties, who makes a hundred jin all-in-one halberd and carries a wounded woman on his back. But even so, he also carries 3000 Leng family soldiers through the heavy blockade of Jinling army. Sima Rui had heard that this man was beside Leng Changxi It's a pity that such a talent can't be used by him after all.

However, he heard afterwards that the cold Deputy had just married a few days ago. He didn't marry anyone else and was a girl from Shangjia. He wanted to take another hostage to force the cold deputy to be captured. However, the whole capital city searched for him didn't find shangchunman. Finally, he died without illness. However, Sima Rui is a man who does great things and cares about the world. Now, The most important thing for him is to find Leng Changxi and watch him die.

However, the ghost city of Beidi, thousands of miles away, is another scene. It's early summer. The snow water on the iceberg melts continuously with the rising temperature, and then it merges into a stream, and then it slowly merges into a small river. Several rivers melt into the most famous mother river through Beidi, the Alxa River, which nourishes this fertile soil and suckles along it The people of Beidi on the bank, devil City, is the largest city with the most frequent business exchanges along the Alashan river.

Although the name is appalling, the bustle and prosperity of the devil city is comparable to that of the capital city of the Qi Dynasty. People are mixed. Walking on the streets, there are Persian businessmen with deep eyes, people wearing colorful national customs and clothes, and people from China and Beidi.

The streets are full of peddlers' peddlers, from fur to spices, and the sound of bargain making keeps coming and going. Suddenly, a sudden figure in the crowd attracted everyone's attention. He wore a typical half sleeve suit of Beidi people, and his chest muscles were outlined by his sweaty clothes. His bronze skin symbolized health and strength. Although he looked thin, he could On his shoulders, he carried 14 pieces of white cloth, and tied them with seven pieces of cowhide rope. He carried them on his shoulders without any hesitation. The cloth towered like a lofty hill.

A man in a ready-made clothes shop on the street saw the man coming, and hurried up: "ADA has sent cloth again. To be honest, ADA's cloth is the best one. I don't know if I can ask the lady of ADA's family to send more cloth next time. Our boss said that we can add more money."

ADA is the appellation of North Di people for men's intimacy. Some people who are born with no name will take ADA as their own name.

With a smile, the man said politely, "thanks for the boss's care, but my wife's eyes are not good. I can't do more. I'm sorry."

After that, the man will leave.

"Don't hurry, Mr. Tuoba." This is the curtain of a door that is separated from the lobby is suddenly lifted. In the curtain, a young woman in her early thirties twists her body to stop the man who has come out of the door.

This young lady is the owner's wife of this ready-made clothing shop. She is called Ren Sanniang. She is from the Central Plains. She has made a living in Beidi.

The man really stopped. The owner's mother put away all kinds of Customs in her daily life, but she said to the man seriously: "Mr. Tuoba, I've seen your mother's eye disease for some days. It's not good. You're living in such a tight situation that you don't even have the money to go to find some famous doctors in Mumian alley. I have a job here I know you have some skills. It depends on whether you want to do it or not. "

When it comes to his wife's eyes, the man's original cold eyes are a hundred and twenty thousand anxieties and worries.

"Let Sanniang say it doesn't matter."

Ren Sanniang smiled coyly: "it's like this. Beidi people are belligerent, belligerent and brave. Every summer, they hold a competition. They choose the bravest warriors in Beidi. As long as they can be shortlisted in the final, how many eyes can they cure for your little lady just by Bounty? Can you see?"

The man's eyes drooped slightly: "I don't have to work hard for a long time, and I may not be able to be shortlisted."

"Joking, that time, those hooligans came to our shop to provoke, but you solved them with one hand." Ren Sanniang smiled heartily, and could see the dignified look on the man's face, converged a few points. "In fact, it's not necessary to be shortlisted. Now every prince's house is recruiting warriors to go to the competition. After all, they won, which is regarded as their staff It's glorious. You don't have to compete in martial arts directly. You can try the selection of the staff. If you choose, you can also make money every month. If you save more money, you can still treat your wife with eyes. "The man hesitated and said, "I'll think about it." After that, Ren Sanniang left quickly. After this man, Ren Sanniang shouted: "you have to think fast, master Tuoba. Tomorrow is the last day for the emperor to choose warriors. If you miss it, you will have no chance."

The man walked in a hurry. I don't know if I heard him. He walked around seven times and then turned into a quiet alley. At the bottom of the alley was a clean yard, which was cleaned very clean by the owner. There were several shepherd's purse sweet potatoes in the yard. The shelves made of Aspen were still wrapped with Luffa vines. The soil was new. It seemed that these things had just been planted. Under the melons, there were just some A woman in plain clothes is embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks with her head bowed. It can be seen that her technique is excellent, but it can be embroidered very slowly. Because of her eyes, every stitch she inserts takes a lot of effort.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door creaking and being pushed open, the woman suddenly looked towards the door. Her eyes were bound with white gauze, but her ears were sensitive, even without ears. People could be smelled by her nose alone.

"Changxi?" Qin yunuan was dressed in the clothes of women in beididang. Her hair was like that of beididang women. She braided it from top to bottom into a shiny twist braid. Next to her, there were several small twist braids that were braided by the side of her hair. At the end of the braid, they pierced into her head together. It seemed that there was a unique style.

It was Leng Changxi who appeared in the market and was shouted by Ren Sanniang, a "Tuoba childe" on the left and a "Tuoba childe" on the right.

Leng Changxi was in love with Qin yunuan. He pressed Qin yunuan's hand with a needle and thread. "I didn't say that. Don't be so tired."

"I'm also idle. I'm just bored." Qin yunuan reached out and stroked Leng Changxi's cheek, "what does Ren Sanniang say? She likes the cloth we sent? "

"I like it very much," said Leng Changxi, with a dim look. "But I think it's time we left devil city."

"Why?" Qin yunuan's hand went down and touched the corner of Leng Changxi's mouth. Leng Changxi's lips were drooping down, indicating that he was unhappy. "We are only half a month away, and it's very good here, isn't it? When we have collected the fare to continue to Xixia, will we not go again? "

"It will be too late to leave then," Leng Changxi raised a few tones, "and your eyes are doomed that we can't go much faster."

Qin yunuan lowered his head: "do you think I'm dragging you?"

"I don't mean that," Leng Changxi stood up, turned his back to Qin yunuan, turned his head half way, and finally told the truth, "do you remember that I taught the scoundrels who made trouble in Ren Sanniang's shop a while ago? I was so publicized at that time that I exposed my martial arts skills. Fortunately, all I saw were ordinary people. If I was seen by someone who wanted to, I could recognize that my martial arts came from the Central Plains at a glance. At that time, it will only bring you more trouble. "

Qin yunuan turned his face to Leng Changxi's direction and kept silent. Leng Changxi simply told Ren Sanniang all about the contest, then shook his head and said, "you can still remember the hunting ground. Later, it was found out that Sima Rui and Beidi emperor wanyanba were colluding with each other. Ren Sanniang gave me this way, which made me jump around in the enemy's eyes I've known for a long time that I'm no longer the first cold General of Qi Dynasty. Now I don't want anything else but to keep your safety and cure your eyes. "

Qin yunuan also found out that Leng Changxi was betrayed by Shang Xianhua in that fire. Leng Changxi's heart began to be extremely insecure and self-confident. His heart was suffering. All along the way, he thought about how to hide his skills and how to live every day in secret. The fiercest tiger on the grassland is now shrinking It's not really Leng Changxi. Qin yunuan frowns. She understands that people will inevitably have a little distortion in their hearts after such a huge blow. But she only hopes Leng Changxi can come out as soon as possible.

"In fact, the real avoidance is not necessarily to avoid," Qin yunuan said, "the so-called most dangerous place is the safest place. Hiding in the city, Changxi, you know the art of war better than me, but the people, I know better than you."

"What do you mean?"

Qin yunuan picked up his work again and smiled: "take a rest earlier. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to participate in the warrior selection of the Grand Prince's mansion."
