It was cold, and the tea for the three of them was already cold. Li Yuanfang recruited his buddy and added a pot of hot tea to fill the bowls in front of Di Renjie and Xiao Ying!
Xiao Ying asked: "Elder Ge, since you think they have a bigger conspiracy, where should we start?"
Di Renjie twisted the beard and said with a smile: "I think Qi Huang has a great desire for power, but only a small Turk and her leader of the Neiwei Mansion will not be able to make her wish. After all, if she If you really want to reach the sky in one step, then the Wu family brothers can't agree? But we are in a whirlpool now, and we can't go to God to investigate the large pavilion leader of the inner guard, then we can only investigate from the outside!"
Li Yuanfang was a little surprised and said, "The periphery? My lord, what do you mean by the periphery?"
Di Renjie smiled and said: "Naturally is her partner!"
Xiao Ying and Li Yuanfang couldn't help being shocked, and said in unison: "Turkic?"
Di Renjie nodded and said: "From our current situation, we can only investigate from the Turks first. If we can figure out the Turks, maybe we can know why they cooperated with the internal guards!"
Li Yuanfang said with some worry: "My lord, isn't it the same as a goat entering the mouth of a tiger if you go to Turke? You are right. Since the secret report says that you have an affair with Turks, then this matter must be inextricably linked to Turks. , But Na Shaerkin wanted you to die for a long time. You sent it to the door at this time. Did Sharkkin’s wish be fulfilled? And if your Majesty learns that you have gone to Turks at this time, then you are not committing fornication. Has the Turkic charge been taken down?"
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Yuan Fang doesn’t have to worry. It’s because of this that we are going to Turks even more. Your Majesty is suspicious of life. If I appear in Turks at this time, it will make her think things are strange, so I not only want to To go to Turke, I still have to find a way to let your majesty know that I have gone to Turke at this time!"
Xiao Ying nodded knowingly, and said, "Elder Ge, you are a dangerous move? In case of a little carelessness, I am afraid it will be overwhelmed?"
Di Renjie twisted his beard and smiled and said: "We have no choice but to do this, and our time is running out. Now that Liu Maoyuan has suddenly disappeared, and a mysterious force is involved, I have a faint worry. I am afraid that when we and Liu Maoyuan once again When we meet, we will be shocked!"
"My lord, if that's the case, let's hurry up and get on the road.
The risk of one more day! "Li Yuanfang said worriedly!
Di Renjie said: "Well, Yuanfang makes sense, but we have to change our identities, so let’s do that, from now on, Yuanfang, you are my son, and Xiao Ying is my daughter. We went to Turk for a wedding. !"
Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying nodded!
The three of them turned on their horses and headed all the way north. In the vast desert, the wind was blowing, filled with yellow sand mixed with snowflakes!
In the afternoon, a courtyard surrounded by rammed earth walls can be vaguely seen in the depths of the Gobi. There is a huge Populus tree swinging in the wind. The branches of the tree are hanging with a cloth, but only'inn' is written. Two words, no name!
In the dusty sky, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and Xiao Ying led horses to the courtyard gate!
Di Renjie said: "It's getting late, shall we rest here for one night?"
Li Yuanfang nodded, took the rein in Di Renjie's hand, and Di Renjie stepped into the courtyard!
Entering the yard, Di Renjie couldn't help frowning slightly. It is reasonable to say that in general inns, there will be welcoming buddies. When the guests arrive, they come out to greet guests with great enthusiasm, but this is not the case in this inn. The three have been standing in the yard for a while. , But still no one came out!
Di Renjie raised his hand and pointed to the stable beside him. Li Yuanfang understood and led the horses of the three into the stable. Because camels are used in the desert, this inn built a stable in the desert. Also taller!
Xiao Ying felt a little uneasy in her heart, worrying: "Ge... Oh, no, daddy, this inn is a bit weird? Why is it so deserted? There isn't even a buddy to take care of people!"
Di Renjie stroked the beard that was tossed by the wind, and said: "The inn in this desert is not full every day, and sometimes they don't even see a guest for a few days. Maybe they have become accustomed to it? Let's go. Go in and have a look!"
The inn in front of me was a two-story building. The door was closed tightly. Di Renjie stepped forward and pushed hard, and with a cry, the door opened, and the wind blew the door panel against the wall, making a loud noise!
The three entered the inn. The lobby was on the first floor with tables, chairs and counters, and there were corridors and stairs behind. Di Renjie looked up and found that there should be rooms on the second floor!
At the moment, the lobby of the inn is empty, and some places are covered with spider webs. The tables and chairs in the lobby are also full of dust. The sun shines in from the skylight on the roof.
Dust flying under the pillar!
Xiao Ying couldn't help but shudder, and whispered softly, "Daddy, isn't it already deserted, right? Why is there no one?"
Di Renjie didn't answer, took two steps forward, and said loudly, "Is anyone there?"
There was Di Renjie's echo, there was no sound!
Di Renjie shouted again: "We are here to stay, is there anyone?"
Still no one answered!
The three of them were about to go upstairs to check. They had just stepped on a step, and suddenly an old voice sounded behind them: "Are you going to be on the tip or stay in a shop!"
All three of them were shocked, and quickly turned their heads. An old man with a withered face was standing at the door. No one found out when he appeared there. The old man turned his back to the sun, and the darkness in front of him made it impossible to see his expression. !
Di Renjie calmed his mind and said: "We were passing by. Seeing that it was getting late, we came here to stay. Dare to ask you, but the shopkeeper of this inn?"
The old man walked a few steps forward and said, "Oh, some of you are staying in a store. I'm really sorry. I was working in the back just now and I didn't hear the sound of the front yard. Please take a seat!"
The old man talked and walked to the counter, picked up a rag, wiped a table and stool in the lobby, and said, "You must not dislike it. The desert is very windy and sandy, and the shop is dusty. Please sit down. !"
Di Renjie clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, brother, we are all used to it when we go out. It is a blessing to be able to find a shelter from the wind and cold in this desert!"
The three people came to the table and sat down. The old man brought a pot of tea, set up the tea bowls, and poured a bowl of water for the three Di Renjie. Di Renjie nodded in thanks and asked: "Brother, how come this big inn is for you? Alone?"
The old man squeezed an ugly smile on his wrinkled face, and replied: "And my two nephews, they both work in the backyard. After the winter, there are fewer caravans in this desert, and our business is also It’s not that good anymore. At this time of the year, let the guys go home and come back after the beginning of spring! How many of you are hungry? It just happens that we just cooked the lamb, how many do you want to eat? In addition to this thought Nothing else to eat!"
Di Renjie nodded, and said, "Okay, please bring us some, and if you have some biscuits, please also take some!"
The old man responded and turned and walked to the backyard!
