Chapter 73 Driving on behalf of the expedition (1)
Feng Guoting said: "She made an appointment with us this morning for Wilderness Dance, and then we arranged for him to go north with us. I then said goodbye and left. Alas! How could someone suddenly come out? This person must be from Qiuci.
, and has a certain martial name in Qiuci, otherwise after arriving in northern Xinjiang and meeting people who have been to Qiuci, wouldn’t the wilderness dance be exposed immediately?”
Long Ying smiled and said: "Are you still worried that we mistakenly blame good people?"
Feng Guoting smiled bitterly and said: "Hua Xiumei's appeal is so powerful. How can a delicate beauty who can play such a touching tune be so cunning?"
Long Ying said: "This is called knowing people but not knowing their hearts. Don't worry! We are still treating her with suspicion for the time being. How about we take a firm stance until we have real evidence?"
The two of them galloped out of the Guanfeng Gate and ran in the direction of Tianjin Bridge.
Feng Guoting said: "After I broke up with Ren Yu last night, I went to Bafang Tower to observe the situation. For more than an hour, there was still no sign of heightened alert in Bafang Tower. I only saw Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi visiting Ningyan one after another.
"
Long Ying said: "You underestimate the talented woman too much."
Feng Guoting said: "How can you remain sober to the beauty of Qiuci? This is the most powerful honey trap, and you are the most lustful among the three of us."
Long Ying really couldn't tell the secret relationship about the fairy fetus demon species that came to his mind, even if it was a life and death acquaintance like the wind passing through the court. He said: "It's an inexplicable intuition."
With a shout, Xueer accelerated in response.
Feng Guoting patted the horse to catch up, and the two rode along the water. After meeting Wan Renyu at Tianjin Bridge, they galloped toward the northeast of the city.
Long Ying entered the mosque alone in Datongfang, located in the south of Shendu and on the north bank of Tongji Canal. This temple is close to Houzai Gate. Surrounded by old trees, it is quiet and peaceful.
There was only an old man wearing a hat in the temple who was cleaning. Ignoring his arrival, Long Ying walked into the main hall and searched for the Wilderness Dance at the same time. He was stunned. He sensed the existence of this gentleman, but could not control his presence.
Location.
Turning around suddenly, a person jumped down from the beam, as fast as smoke, and stretched his limbs after landing. He silently transformed into a human form. The weird feeling is indescribable.
Just one glance showed that although his demeanor and temperament were completely different from Hua Xiumei's, it was certain from his appearance that he and Hua Xiumei were biological siblings. He was as thin as a dragon eagle, with one pair of legs that were out of proportion, with broad shoulders and a thin back. He was full of a sense of humor.
Introverted strength. His head is narrow and long, but his eyes are long and slender. There is a nonchalant, lazy smile on his face, his eyes are sharp but not exposed, the bridge of his nose is high and straight, and his lips are sharp and angular. He has a kind of personality.
He has the courage to solve any problem and regard everyone in the world as nothing. It seems that nothing in the world can trouble him.
No matter how Long Ying guessed, he never thought that Huang Yuan Wu was such an outstanding person. If he was really an enemy, he would definitely be Xiang Qi's opponent. There was a long and narrow sword hanging on his back, and there was no need to unsheath it. Long Ying already felt that this shape was unique.
, the sharpness of the four-foot-long strange blade.
Huang Yuan Wu cupped his fists and said: "Huang Yuan Wu pays homage to Brother Long."
Long Ying smiled and said, "Brother Huang, why do you want to hide?"
Huang Yuan Wu showed a beautiful smile, and Long Ying had to admit that as beautiful as a flower is a rare woman, this man is also a rare handsome man with a unique temperament, more handsome than Er Zhang, but without the effeminate taste.
At this time, someone walked in. Huangyuanwu winked at him and led the way to a pavilion in the garden next to the main church. He was half leaning against the pavilion pillar and said: "This is a habit that becomes natural. I am used to shivering and hiding in the daytime."
When I go out at night, I feel like I am doing shady things all day long."
Long Ying sat down on the bridge railing next to him and said, "Brother Huang is fluent in Chinese. Where did you learn it?"
Huang Yuanwu showed her snow-white glow, with two rows of neat and clean teeth, and said: "Brother Long wants to interrogate me about my origins! My sister-in-law has ordered me not to hide anything from Brother Long to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Not only do I He is proficient in Chinese and understands many languages including Turkic, Khitan, and Tubo."
Long Ying's heart screamed fiercely. Thinking about it was one thing, but seeing it was another thing. This man's grace and bearing were so good that he was not as beautiful as a flower. You can imagine what it must be like for your wife to see him. She said curiously: "Huang Ying is so beautiful." What is your origin, brother, that you can learn multiple languages at a young age?"
Wilderness Dance responded to his eyes that wanted to see her through without any hesitation, and said in a casual manner: "Like my roommate, I have been trained as a singer and dancer since I was a child, and I have to travel around the world to perform."
Long Ying was surprised and said: "But your sister told us that Brother Huang is the leading warrior in your country."
Huang Yuanwu's eyes showed a look of deep sadness, and he said slowly: "It's a long story. My sister-in-law and I lost our homes in the war, fled from the grassland to Kucha City, and lived on the streets, relying on each other. Fortunately, we The master passed by, took a fancy to our qualifications and appearance, and accepted us as his disciples, and we lived a good life from then on. I was only nine years old at that time, and my sister-in-law was eight years old."
Long Ying felt doubtful and his confidence began to waver. The other party definitely didn't seem to be lying. He sensed the deep emotions naturally revealed by Huang Yuan Wu. Of course! Even if he was telling the truth, it didn't mean that he wouldn't conspire with Hua Xiumei to harm them. .But as the fat father-in-law said about human nature, the plight of their brother and sister is pitiful, and it is natural for them to be affected by the emotions arising from pity, which will reduce their wariness towards the Wilderness Dance.
Long Ying knew that he was at a disadvantage, so he frowned and said, "Master must be an outstanding person."
Huang Yuanwu's eyes showed admiration, and he nodded and said: "Master is not only known as the most beautiful woman in Kucha, but also the best master in our country. He is good at singing and dancing. He founded Kuchi Art Academy, specially for our king. Training kabuki, most of the outstanding kabuki in our country came from the art academy she founded, but only we, brother and sister, had to be taught martial arts by her."
He smiled and said, "Don't think I'm just idle now. In fact, I used to be a formal dancer, and I also performed with my roommate in various places outside the Great Wall, and won a high reputation."
Longying asked: "Is your master still alive?"
Wilderness Dance lowered his head sadly and said softly: "Master passed away three years ago at the age of 108. That was the most painful period for me, and it was from that time that I started to quit my career as a dancer. It’s just that my roommate has to inherit her legacy and continue to perform.”
Then he suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with lightning, and said in a deep voice: "At this moment, the Turkic Great Khan silently sent a special envoy to see my king, naming Xu Shemei to work for him, and his words were threatening. I and Shemei once There was a big quarrel. Alas! I couldn't win over her in the end."
Long Ying said: "So you followed her to Middle-earth and protected her secretly. Is that right?"
Wasteland Dance said dejectedly: "What is there to protect, and how can I protect her? The truth is that I have a mission, and I was ordered by the king to go to the middle-earth to find the lost treasure of the country. But please forgive me for not revealing this. Because I was ordered to keep the secret. But to this day, I still have no clue. Just because my sister-in-law saw me like this, she asked me to help you with all my strength to see if I can do something. The people I hate the most right now are the Turks."
Long Ying's last hope of finding his flaw was finally disillusioned, and he tried his best to say: "You have been following my sister around, how can you find the lost thing?"
Huang Yuanwu said: "The place where the lost items are most likely to be is Luoyang. I arrived more than three months earlier than my sister-in-law, and I didn't contact her until she arrived."
Long Ying wanted to ask more questions, but he didn't have much time. He had to return to the palace to see Shangguan Wan'er and ask her to dress him up, so he had no choice but to hand over this strange person to Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting. "Please," he said. Come with me!"
Take him there.
Longying rushed to Zhenguan Hall, thinking he was going to Shangguan Wan'er's third floor, but unexpectedly he was invited into the inner hall by Eunuch Rong. Unexpectedly, the fat father-in-law was present, standing next to the empress who was working at the desk, leaning down. He whispered to her. This was the first time he saw them together. Their attitude was so close that Long Ying had never seen it happen to Wu Zhao or anyone else.
Shangguan Wan'er was sitting aside. When she saw him coming, she gave him a fierce look and gave him a sweet smile. He tried hard with his ears, but he still couldn't hear what the fat father-in-law said, so he knew that they were talking secretly.
Wu Zhao raised the dragon's head, his phoenix eyes shot up, and he smiled. He was obviously in a good mood. He stood up slowly. The fat father-in-law stepped away a little, raised his left elbow horizontally, and let Wu Zhaolong hold his hands. The two of them left the table and faced the dragon in unison. The eagle came over.
Long Ying was puzzled. Didn't the two of them have a quarrel? But looking at their current relationship, it was far better than before when they ignored each other and kept a distance.
What is going on?
Shangguan Wan'er was so frightened that she stood up and knelt on the ground.
Wu Zhao only looked at him with a smile, as if he didn't know Shangguan Wan'er's existence. With the "support" of his fat father-in-law, he came to Long Ying and asked in a friendly voice, "How are you sleeping, Mr. Long?"
An ordinary greeting made Long Ying feel dizzy and hot, all because of the excuse he made to Shangguan Wan'er last night. He was sent to carry out a secret mission on the order of the empress of Zhou Dynasty to "snoop on the enemy's situation". The empress came to ask her whether she slept well last night. Isn't it the greatest absurdity in the world? She had to be vague and said: "The Holy One is aware that the common people can't rest until very late at night."
The fat father-in-law said to Shangguan Wan'er, "Wan'er has a normal body."
Shangguan Wan'er stood up and lowered her head as if she had heard the order from Wu Zhao's mouth. She couldn't help but glance at Long Ying secretly, with a look full of suspicion. If Wu Zhao was not present, there would be an investigation immediately.
The fat father-in-law said impartially: "Undress him."
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "What?"
Wu Zhao let go of the fat father-in-law's hand and stood proudly with his hands folded about four steps away from him. He looked at him with interest and said with a teasing expression: "I can't see you pretending to be an ugly doctor. How can I feel relieved?"
The fat father-in-law walked aside and said as he walked: "Unlike you, Your Majesty, I have never planned such a sneaky business. Of course, I have to personally supervise the division. Hehe!"
Shangguan Wan'er came to Long Ying with her cheeks bulging. She was so frightened that Long Ying said, "I can take it off myself."
The fat father-in-law came back with a pile of clothes and said with a smile: "It's not your first time to undress a woman, so what's there to be ashamed of? On the contrary, it's probably Wan'er's first time to undress a man."
