"Someone is catching up."
Liu Han's words, like a stone thrown into the lake, suddenly shook the waves.
Several people immediately extinguished the campfire and hid in the dark.
I only heard the gusts of night wind, and weird calls came from everywhere, and it was almost impossible to distinguish which ones were chasing soldiers and which ones were ghosts in the forest.
"I'll take a look." Wuangmao walked into the forest in front of her with her waist.
"How could the chasing and chasing soldiers chase here?" Xiao Yingran stammered, "Couldn't it be our whereabouts leaked?"
"Nonsense." Liu Han said, "Xiao Yi's people must be able to chase here, they must have heard our news. There are only two ways now, one is to leave quickly, and to escape; the other is to find the treasure first."
"I am obedient to Master and Qin's command, and I must find the treasure back to live up to them!"
Xiao Yingran didn't stammer when he said this.
Liu Han looked back at him, the night flowing water reflected in his eyes.
"You are a descendant of the Xiao family anyway, so you are willing to hand over the legacy of your ancestors to others?"
Xiao Yingran shook his head, "I don't know any former royal family or descendants of the Xiao family. I only know that if this treasure falls into the hands of King Xiqiang, the people will die."
"Oh? What if this treasure falls into your own hands?"
Xiao Yingran was startled, and looked back at him, but only saw Liu Han's sharp jaw in the dark.
"how come--"
"Hush." Liu Han motioned for him to be quiet.
Wuan, who had left to explore the road, returned, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"There are indeed chasing soldiers nearby, and there are still a lot of people. I think they are unified in their actions and dispatched in an orderly manner. They are likely to be Xiqiang soldiers." Wuang said anxiously, "We must leave here immediately."
"No, go find the treasure first." Liu Han rejected his proposal, "They have found this place, and it is only a matter of time before they find the entrance. They can't let them take the lead."
Wuang disagreed: "There must be a mechanism at the entrance of the treasure. The way to crack it is ours. They will not be able to enter it for a while. Now there are many soldiers in Xiqiang. We have to evacuate first, and then slowly plan."
Liu Han heard the words and sneered: "Slowly plan it? Who has so much time. Besides, you said those people are Xiqiang soldiers. I don't think they are wearing armor, and secondly they are no different from the Central Plains. How are you? Seeing their identity?"
"Naturally, the marching formation is very different from ordinary Jianghu people, and you can see it at a glance..." Wu anger said, and suddenly stopped.
"Marching formation?" Liu Han stared at him dangerously. "You, a monk who has lived in the mountains for a long time, know what a marching formation is? Will you see the behavior of soldiers? No anger, who are you?"
Without waiting for the little monk to defend, he said again: "Speaking of which, we leaked our traces in Jiangnan, and now we are being tracked again. I have long suspected whether there is a gangster around us."
"How is it possible!" Xiao Yiran hurriedly said, "Master Wu Anger is just worried about our safety, Master Liu, don't just speculate..."
Before he finished speaking, he only heard Wu'an sneer and said: "Leaking the trace? Every time it is Donor Liu, these things happen. To be suspicious, aren't you more suspicious than me?"
Liu Lengchun smiled, "What evidence do you have? I'm afraid it's a guilty conscience, so let's take a bite."
Wu Anger just looked at him and said nothing.
"You two, hey, stop arguing! When is this?" Xiao Yingran was anxious, "Besides, how can there be a rape? Everyone is someone Qin commander trusts, and that kind of thing will never happen."
"It is precisely because of the internal traitor that the news was leaked in advance when we went to rescue Tibetan wind. All the clues have long proved that there are traitors around us." Liu Han said, "This monk is the most suspicious, Xiao Yingran, you have to follow him. ?"
Xiao Yingran was at a loss.
Without anger, he said: "At this moment, you can't prove your innocence is the fault of the little monk. But Donor Xiao, don't rush for a while." He said meaningfully, "I have already reminded you of this sentence."
"Decide yourself."
Xiao Yingran looked at the two people on the left and the right, feeling embarrassed, not knowing how to persuade him.
Wuang saw his delay in making a decision, and the persecutor approached, his eyes could not help showing anxiety.
"Sorry, Donor Xiao!"
Xiao Yingran was stunned, Wu'er had already flown over him and grabbed the secret book from him.
"You bald donkey!"
Liu Han was furious and hurriedly went up to fight with him. Between the two of them, they could already hear the voices of people in the distance.
Wuang looked back and shouted to Xiao Yingran: "Go tell Qin Shan, don't act rashly, don't assassinate King Xiqiang!"
As he said, he let go of the hand holding the secret book, but turned around and hugged Liu Han's waist, forcefully brought the person around, and the two rolled down the crypt together.
"You!" Liu Han was frightened, "No anger--!" Being entangled, he couldn't perform even if he had a peerless light skill.
This was his last shout. In the next instant, the two figures disappeared into the bottomless cave, and there was no sound.
Xiao Yingran stood by the crypt unconsciously, stunned by the unexpected accident. It wasn't until he heard the footsteps approaching that he suddenly became sober and hurriedly escaped into the forest.
Tell Qin Shan, tell Qin Shan, not to assassinate King Xiqiang! The effect was silently meditating on this sentence.
But why?
Traitor, who is it?
No anger and Liu Han are dead. It is not clear whether Xiao Yingran can get out of trouble. But Qin Shan and Yan Mobei, who went west alone, have already reached the western border.
Black city.
This is the border city closest to the west. Years of wars in the west seem to have not affected it at all. When Qin Shan and others entered the city, they followed a caravan from the Western Regions, and the dancers in the caravan also thoughtfully gave them a go-ahead. Entering the city, I saw that the urban areas, large and small, were in order. The city's commerce and trade were flourishing, and all ethnic groups lived together, but they seemed to be thriving.
Qingtian couldn't help being surprised, but Qin Shan said: "This city is an important link between the mainland and the outside world. Merchants who transport grapes and glass to the east, and silk and porcelain to the west will all stop here. If the black city is gone, Daqi loses at least a quarter of the silver each year, and the Xiqiang people have no place to exchange food. Naturally, no one will touch it."
"Can leave such a paradise in troubled times." Yan Xiaobei said, "The city lord here is a good way."
Qin Shan said: "Here the boundary is in the middle. It is the three things that are mixed with dragons and fish. We need to get our identity here and enter the birthday feast of the King of Xiqiang. The fourteenth has already taken the first step, you follow me."
A few people avoided the soldiers who patrolled the city and went to a mixed settlement to the west of the city. There were frequent visits and no one noticed them. When they opened the door and entered the hut, please genius discovered that Fourteen had already been waiting here.
"Commander!"
Wei Fourteen stepped forward and arched his hands, but frowned when he saw Yan Mobei.
"Just talk about business."
Qin Shan acted vigorously, "I can arrange my identity."
"Yes, but the commander, the plan has changed." Wei Fourteen hesitated, "A while ago, you asked me to retreat to Heicheng with the remaining manpower to make preparations. We settled here, thinking that there was no trace of it... "
Qin Shan grasped the key in his words, "Someone found you?"
"Yes." Wei Fourteen said, took out one thing and handed it to Qin Shan, "This was received by his subordinate yesterday, and it was placed at the door of this room."
Qin Shan's eyes drenched, and it seemed that the other party had figured out their details and was able to do so. Even if Qin Weitang is no longer what it used to be, this skinny camel is not something anyone can handle. After seeing the token, his face changed again.
It turned out to be him, no wonder...
"Brother Shan knows the person who gave the stuff?" Yan Xiaobei asked, looking at his face.
Qin Shan slowly took things into his arms, and said, "Help me contact Lord Pugu, fourteen."
"Yes!" Wei Fourteen didn't say much, and left after taking his orders.
"Master, aren't we going to Xiqiang?" Qingtian looked at him, "Who is the one who brought the goods?"
Qin Shan sat down, but didn't speak. His expression was difficult to tell for a while, as if he was relieved, and as if he was forced to the extreme. If he tightened a little bit, the string would break. Yan Xiaobei was smarter than Qingtian, and he figured it out the moment Qin Shan said Pu Cunxi's name.
"Is that the nobleman in the palace?" Yan Xiaobei tentatively asked, "He is sober, is this his token for you?"
The nobleman in the palace? wide awake?
emperor? !
Qing Tian widened his eyes instantly and looked at Qin Shan cautiously.
"I do not know."
Then, Qin Shan said something that surprised everyone.
"Maybe, he wasn't crazy in the beginning."
Regardless of the surprise of the two people around him, Qin Shan touched the seal in his arms. Suddenly recalled the scene when I saw Mako Tianlong for the first time. The man only glanced at him, and said three good times, and said: "This son is so hostile, it can be a long sword in my hand."
That year, Qin Shan was fourteen years old.
It is full of hatred and anger, wishing to overthrow this country and bury him with his master.
