Only the wind that blew in through the gap in the tent blew up the hair on the back of his neck, and a five-petal flower faintly revealed.

He whispered, "What are your instructions?"

Monk said: "I will take some troops to accompany Princess Baoyin to Baihu City to pay tribute to Arislan. You will follow you to the road. Wait until that place-"

His voice gradually became deeper.

But a gust of wind suddenly blew up on the grassland, and the wind was filled with the smell of soil, and a faint smell of blood was faintly exposed, which rushed to people's face.

It seems to indicate something happening.

After a while, Hu and Lu walked out of the king's tent.

At this time, a tall and sturdy figure walked out of another tent. It was neither someone else, but Lord Mandu, the important minister of the Neng Kingdom. His hair was gray, but his deep eyes were still bright, staring at Hu and Lu until his back disappeared in front.

He turned his head and asked his close servants around him.

"What did the emperor ask Hu Helu to do in the past?"

The close servant said softly: "The news of the destruction of Baihu City has been heard. Princess Baoyin is very sad. I heard that she wants to rush to Baihu City to pay tribute to His Highness Nanli. His Majesty the Emperor has already approved it, and a team of people have also sent to escort His Highness the Princess over."

"oh?"

"Now Hu and Lu are probably sent to protect His Highness the Princess."

The man didn't say anything, but just narrowed his eyes slightly.

A little cold light faintly emerged from those tiger eyes.

In fact, he was not surprised that Monk agreed to Princess Baoyin's visit to White Tiger City to pay tribute to Arislan. For Monk, although Arislan was already his mortal enemy, the two of them had supported each other, and this feeling was complicated and contradictory. Even in his heart, he might not have been sad about Arislan's death.

However, it is enough to escort Princess Baoyin over and send a team of people casually. Why should I send Hu and Lu?

Mandu knew very well that because of the breakup between Arislan and Munch, Yihuatang's strength was greatly reduced, and the melee in the past few years also consumed a lot of people. After Calcite's death, Munch had even fewer confidant masters in Yihuatang.

And this Hu and Lu are a top expert.

It would be feasible if such a person was sent out to assassinate some important person, but just asking him to escort Princess Baoyin would be a bit useless, which is not like Monk's style of conduct.

Thinking of this, Mandu felt even more wrong and asked in a low voice: "Did the scout come back today, except for the White Tiger City incident, report anything else?"

The closest servant thought for a while and said softly: "The person outside the tent eavesdropped a few words, and seemed to have reported the matter of the Emperor of Yan State."

"Emperor of Yan Kingdom?"

When Mandu heard this, he frowned: "He defeated Arislan and destroyed Baihu City. Shouldn't he return to the court?"

The closest servant said, "I heard that it was not. Not only did he not return to the capital, he also went to Bailong City, where he met the special envoy of the Aristocracy who came from afar. The scouts reported that he had also brought a few men to see the special envoy of the Aristocracy. After leaving Bailong City, he kept walking north. It had been several days."

"What?!"

Mandu was shocked and turned to look at the close servant: "You mean, the Emperor of Yan State only brought a few followers to Yumen Pass?"

The nearby servant whispered: "I haven't heard of this when I went to Yumen Pass. But if you walk north after Bailong City and walk for a few days, you will be not far from Yumen Pass."

Monta gasped.

He turned to look at the tent again, and suddenly he understood everything.

Immediately, he turned around and walked towards the barracks.

On the other side, the team who saw off for the special envoy of the Abnormal Kingdom walked day after day. Even if Xi Yun was happy to stay with his sister for a few more days, Gao, who was so smart, felt something was wrong when the emperor saw him off in person. When they got closer and closer to Yumen Pass, his inner anxiety was magnified to the limit.

On the evening of that day, when everyone stopped to rest and eat, he slowly walked towards the camp on the other side with a bowl of sweet wine.

Although the two sides are a bit like a family, they come from different places and have different living habits, so the camps are still separated. Only Xiyun ran tirelessly to the imperial concubine of Yan Kingdom. The two of them were so intimate, as if they were human and shadows.

The air was also filled with the heat brought by the bonfire and the aroma of the food stewed in the iron pot.

Nanyan asked someone to take a piece of felt and cover it on a big stone. She and Xiyun sat there side by side. Nanyan looked at the vast wasteland in front of her, and the end of the sky connected to the sea of ​​fire in the distance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "The scenery here is so beautiful."

Xi Yun said seriously: "But, good scenery does not bring good weather."

"Um?"

"I'm afraid there will be strong wind and sand in these two days."

Nanyan then remembered that their guide A Shu seemed to have also mentioned that the weather in the northwest was like this, and he couldn't help but frown.

Xiyun turned to look at her again and said, "But sister, where are you going to send us?"

“…”

"Although I want to stay with my sister for more, if you send me another way, you will be sent abroad soon? If you go away, if you really encounter wind and sand, the people on your side will not be able to bear it."

Nan Yan stammered and just smiled.

At this time, Gao Ye's voice came from behind: "Xi Yun."

Xi Yun turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately laughed: "Brother."

Gao Ye came over, handed her the bowl of sweet wine in his hand, saluted Nan Yan again, and said, "What are you talking about?"

Xi Yun said, "We are talking about the weather. Brother, look at the weather, is it going to be wind and sand?"

Before he finished speaking, it seemed as if she had confirmed her. Suddenly a gust of wind swept towards them with yellow sand. Xi Yun was caught off guard and the bowl of sweet soup in her hand was covered with fine sand. She couldn't help but frown: "I haven't drunk a sip."

Gao Ye smiled and said, "There are some things that have just come out. You can drink them while they are hot."

Xi Yun nodded, then stood up with a bowl and walked towards his camp.

After she left, Gao Ye looked at Nanyan and said with a smile: "Empress Concubine, although I know that the Empress has a deep affection for Sister Xiyun, and His Majesty the Emperor of Your Country also intends to make friends with us in peace, but it is a bit too deep and loyal to you when you send a thousand miles away. His Majesty the Emperor shouldn't just bring these people to such a distance. What do you want to do?"

Nan Yan also smiled.

She knew that although this matter could be hidden from the innocent Xi Yun, smart people like Gao Ye probably had long doubts about their actions.
