He said, "You mean—"
Nan Yandao: "Back then, His Majesty the Emperor announced to almost everyone at the banquet that he wanted to invite the wizard back to use secret techniques to determine my blood relationship."
"..."
"The people who stop the wizard may have this purpose."
Monk frowned: "Someone, don't want your blood relationship to be determined clearly?"
Nan Yan took a deep breath: "I think, yes."
"..."
Munch's eyes darkened.
He looked at Nanyan's dignified expression, and after a while, his expression became calm again, and the slightly raised arc at the corner of his mouth seemed to be faintly smiling again.
Said: "If that's the case, that's fine."
"..."
"Nanyan, you have learned riding for so long, maybe this time, it's time to use it."
Nan Yan smiled lightly and said, "I hope this time, I won't hold you back."
Monk said, "I will be with you."
The two people "discussed and decided", and things proceeded quickly.
That afternoon, many people in the palace had already started to prepare.
Princess Baoyin came back from the outside and found that Monk and the others were about to leave, and hurried over to ask what happened, but Monk did not tell her the truth.
He just said, "I took Nanyan to the front to have a look."
"Look? See what?"
"Of course it's for the scenery."
"Ahead, what's the view?"
Monk said with a smile: "You have been running on the grassland for more than ten years, of course you have seen all kinds of scenery, but it is the first time for Nanyan to come here, of course you have to take her to see the scenery elsewhere."
Princess Baoyin looked at them a little puzzled.
Monk said: "I know you are still waiting for the letter here, so this time, you don't have to follow."
"..."
"We'll be back in two days at most."
Princess Baoyin thought for a while and said, "Really? Then you must not go far away. Although there is not much wind and sand in this season, there is a lot of rain. You know, when it rains on the grassland, it will be fatal."
Monk reached out and rubbed her hair: "I see."
So, early the next morning, Nanyan set off with Monk.
This time, instead of riding in a carriage, he rode a horse.
As soon as you leave the White Tiger City, you can see a boundless green grassland in front of you. You can see some undulating hillsides from far and near. The grass color varies in shades.
It's really—the sky is blue and the wild is vast.
It was also the first time for Nanyan to ride a horse and gallop on the grassland. Hearing the sound of the wind blowing past her ears and smelling the fragrance of the grass in the wind, she actually felt a little happy.
Although, there is still a big stone in my heart.
Although what she said to Monk before was to let him take her on the road with her, in fact, it was not a fool.
You know, not everyone dares to attack the emperor.
If there is no grudge against Monk, or the wizard himself has personal grievances with others, then to a large extent, the purpose of the person who attacked the wizard is to not want him to come back and to judge his blood relationship.
And this thing is a little strange.
Thinking about it, Nan Yan turned her head to look at Monk, who had been riding the horse and kept pace with her.
He didn't look like he was sick and in need of recuperation after being injured in Kulun City.
He pretended to be that way before
Recalling that day, he said to himself - "Actually, I'm fine".
It's really fake.
Pretending to go to White Tiger City to recuperate, and then brought himself here, and then—or maybe before that, he should have had someone inform the wizard that he would not return to Kulun City, and come directly to White Tiger City to meet them.
He did this, obviously, to avoid people's eyes and ears.
why
He had already made public the matter of determining his blood relationship at the banquet, but this matter had to be carried out "secretly" instead.
Could it be that he didn't want others to know the result
This result has the most influence on me, and who else does he not want him to know the result
Also, his pigeons.
Originally, I thought that only Xiu Yun, who lived deep in the palace, kept such pigeons, but I didn't expect that even Monk used pigeons to send messages.
Then, during the Battle of Beiping, who released the pigeon that conveyed the message "If you don't have desires, you can be strong"
When Nan Yan thought of this, her mind became chaotic.
Monk's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Be careful!"
Nan Yan hurriedly raised her head, it turned out that there was a small ditch in front of her, she quickly clamped the horse's belly, and shook the reins.
The steed under the seat neighed and jumped over.
Immediately afterwards, the surrounding cavalry also rode across the ditch.
Monk breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Nan Yan: "What were you thinking just now?"
"..."
Nan Yan didn't speak, but grabbed the reins tightly and turned to look at him.
Monk said, "Thinking of me?"
Nan Yan said in a deep voice, "I miss what you did."
Monk listened and smiled slightly.
The wind blew, raising his long hair, and the messy hair brushed against his face, and seemed to be covered with a cloud in front of his slender eyes.
Monk said, "I know what you're thinking."
"..."
"However, let's talk about what I did after I found the wizard."
Nan Yan glanced at him, then nodded: "Okay."
Then they rode on.
Leaving White Tiger City early in the morning, on the way, he only stopped twice, taking out the map to determine the direction.
Nanyan felt that the deserted city might not be easy to find.
In a blink of an eye, it was afternoon.
As soon as Youshi passed, the originally sunny sky gradually began to be overcast, and the sky became dark.
And the wind is also getting colder and colder, and it is more obvious when riding on horseback.
They galloped for a while, and one of the attendants rode forward and said to Monk, "Your Majesty, it looks like it's going to rain."
rain.
Nanyan still remembered that before leaving, Princess Baoyin gave special instructions.
If it rains on the grassland, it will be a very troublesome thing.
Unexpectedly, I really met.
Monk frowned, looked at the cloudy sky in front of him, and said, "There is no place to shelter from the rain now, let everyone move forward at full speed, and try to get to the deserted city before the rain falls."
"yes."
The servant immediately went down to give the order.
Monk turned his head to look at Nanyan again: "Can you still hold on?"
In fact, Nanyan already felt a little tired, but at this moment, she couldn't say that she was tired.
She nodded: "It's okay."
So, a group of people galloped forward under the sky that was shrouded in dark clouds and gradually becoming dark.
Finally, before the sky turned completely dark, Nan Yan saw a mountain appearing on the ground in front of him.
Monk saw it too.
He said in a deep voice, "That's the deserted city!"
