The Yaksha mask is ferocious and ferocious, with round eyes, and in the dim light, it becomes more and more ferocious, like a desperate ghost crawling out of the ground.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I suddenly found such a person standing in front of the window. He was timid and scared half his life.
Yaoying was relatively calm, only dropped a pottery bowl, and didn't shout.
Because the moment she saw the Yaksha mask, she guessed that most of the people in front of the window were Sultan Gu.
This is not the first time.
…
On the way to Gaochang, when I stayed overnight at the Yishe Hotel, Sultangu's house was always very close to Yaoying's.
He didn't close the door, and there was no sound at all. She could hardly notice his existence until she accidentally knocked down the stove in the house when she woke up at night, making a loud noise. After a while, Xie Qing rushed over and the two cleaned up together. After seeing the clutter in the house, she opened the door to diffuse the smell, glanced at the corridor inadvertently, and saw a tall and straight figure flashing past in the corner.
Yaoying remained silent.
On the next journey she kept an eye on Sultangu.
Sometimes they had to sleep in the wilderness. She slept in clothes by the fire. Sultan was far away from the crowd. When she woke up in a daze, she found that he was not resting in the distance and had been on alert.
For several nights, Yaoying was woken up by the cold, and she didn't want to wake Xie Qing. She shivered with her arms in her arms, listening to the howling wind, thinking that she was far away from the Central Plains, and didn't know what happened to her brother. Sitting alone, his heart gradually calmed down.
The galaxy is vast, the wilderness is desolate, the snow-capped peaks are magnificent, the valleys are deep, the sky and the earth are vast, this man sits there alone, like a towering mountain.
He carried all the difficulties and hardships on one shoulder, and with him, they could return to the royal court safely.
This kind of feeling that makes people feel extremely stable and down-to-earth, Yaoying has felt it in another person.
When the snow-white flag was fluttering in the wind, when Tan Moraga rode a white horse and led ten thousand troops to appear in the deserted desert.
So Yaoying is not afraid of Sultan Gu.
Although Tamara is cold, it is still gentle.
Sultan was fierce and ferocious, but he showed a kind of majestic compassion in his moves, but this compassion was too fierce, and his cold edge concealed his compassion.
…
Today they live in the post house, and Sultan Gu lives next to Yaoying.
Yaoying had a nightmare just now, maybe she cried out, Sultan Gu heard the noise, thought something was wrong with her, and rushed over to check the situation.
This means that he has been awake tonight.
Yaoying guessed that the figure was Sultan Gu, and quickly calmed down, but she didn't expect him to go back and forth. She got up and wanted to scare him, but he caught him straight and smiled embarrassingly.
Sultan looked at her without saying a word, not a word of explanation.
Yao Ying was not frightened by his cold and indifferent eyes, she leaned forward halfway, her black hair was falling down, her eyebrows and eyes were like stars, and she asked in a low voice, "General Su, the mage asked you to escort us to Gaochang. ,Because of me?"
Sultan's figure was motionless.
Yaoying looked directly at his blue eyes and took it by herself: "General Ashina was supposed to accompany me on my mission to Gaochang, but unfortunately he was injured. Is the mage worried that Haidu Aling will suddenly appear?"
Bi Su couldn't let Haidu Aling be self-defeating, and he was injured again. Tanmaraga let Sultan Gu, who failed the mission, go on another mission in place of Bi Su, which should be to guard against Haidu Aling. Haidu Aling is highly skilled in martial arts, and these guards are not his opponents.
Yao Ying thought of a possibility: the reason why the goshawks of Tanmaraga have been following them, the main purpose is not to pass the news according to Yuanjue, but to find the white falcon in Haidu Aling.
Tamara has already announced to the world that Haidu Aling does not dare to attack her now, but they cannot reveal their identities during this trip. If Haidu Aling learns of their itinerary, will they take the opportunity to steal people
Jin Bo, the little prince of Beirong, suddenly appeared in Gaochang, and Haidu Aling might be nearby.
So Sultan did not dare to take it lightly.
Yaoying stared at Sultan Gu without blinking, and asked, "General Su, is Haidu Aling here? The general is afraid of scaring me, so he hides it from me?"
Sultan Gu's deep blue eyes finally reacted, and a hint of surprise passed by.
Yaoying sighed and said, "The general just tells me the truth. I'm not afraid if the general is here."
She leaned in front of the window, thick blue silk covering her shoulders, black hair on the temples, white skin and clear eyes.
The little prince, who had been noisy all day, stopped, and there was a water-like silence in the post house. Their house was in the innermost part, and the guards outside were sleeping, quietly, and the needles could be heard.
Sultan Gu was silent for a while, and his hoarse voice sounded: "Jinbo came to Gaochang, Haidu Aling may also appear, but I haven't found any trace of him for the time being."
Yaoying smiled: "General has been tired all the way."
Sure enough, he has been secretly protecting her.
Sultan Gu looked away and said, "Place the princess."
After she finished speaking, before Yaoying could speak, her hand wearing a layer of black leather gloves gently closed the window.
All she saw was the gray window lattice.
Yaoying shook her head and laughed, and opened the window again.
"General Su." She called to him softly, "I want to ask the general about something."
Sultan looked down at her.
Yaoying asked with a smile: "General Su once sent an envoy to Gaochang and wanted to come to know the various markets in Gaochang. I will take Lao Qi and them to sell the goods they brought tomorrow. Does the general know which market is the most fair for the merchants?"
Sultan Gu did not hesitate, and said lightly: "There is only one market place in Gaochang where Hu merchants gather, and Yuanjue will be the guide for the princess tomorrow."
Yaoying nodded, her eyes stayed on the terrifying mask on his face for a long time.
Judging from his reaction, it seems like he really came to Gaochang...
Sultan closed the window again.
Yaoying's mouth twitched slightly.
There was a rustling noise from the front door, Xie Qing pushed the door and walked into the house, looking vigilant, seeing Yaoying standing in front of the window, her brows wrinkled. She has been running around these days. Yaoying is afraid that she will be tired. She is not allowed to keep watch tonight. She sleeps next door and hears voices here.
"Aqing, I'm fine, get up and drink some water."
Yaoying sent Xie Qing away, yawned, lay down and went to sleep.
She didn't have any more nightmares that night, even though she knew that Haidu Aling might be nearby.
The next day, Yao Ying got up early and went to the most lively Fang Market in Gaochang, accompanied by her own soldiers and Yuanjue.
The little prince Jin Bo was still sleeping, and Yuanjue left a few people to inquire about his purpose in coming to Gaochang, and the others split up to inquire about the news.
When Yaoying passed by Sultan's ancient room, she listened carefully for a while, but did not hear a single sound, and thought to herself: He has scars all over his face, and he must wear a mask to cover it up. Knowing when to wait, it must be resting now.
She instructed the guards who stayed at the post house not to quarrel with Sultan, and everyone agreed.
Yuanjue's eyes flickered twice when she heard Yaoying instructing her soldiers.
Yaoying glanced at him, and he immediately retracted his gaze, as if nothing had happened.
Several people came out of the post house through the side door, and Qi Nian and others followed far behind with the cart.
The only street in Gaochang is a long street that can only accommodate two carriages passing side by side. Compared with Wang Ting, it is much smaller, but it is densely populated and very lively. The shops are densely packed, crowded with people, and the cries of various languages are mixed. In one place, resounding through the sky.
Yuanjue introduced Yaoying what each store sold along the way. Yaoying listened carefully, and occasionally pointed to rare things she had never seen before and asked, and Yuanjue patiently explained to her.
There was a small restaurant selling Hu cakes on the side of the road. Several people stopped and waited for the next batch of Hu cakes to be baked.
Yaoying suddenly asked coldly, "Is the Prince Regent a lay disciple like you?"
Yuanjue stayed for a while.
Yaoying looked at him with a smile: "The Prince Regent never eats with other people. His meals are all delivered by you. I think the Prince Regent is fasting."
She has been observing for days.
Yuanjue's expression was stiff, and he calmed down and replied with a smile: "The guards around the king are either warrior monks or lay disciples, and the same goes for the regent."
Yaoying asked: "Is the regent a monk or a lay disciple?"
Yuanjue said: "It's a lay disciple."
Yaoying continued to ask: "The regent is very skilled in martial arts. Who did he learn his martial arts from? General Ashina said they are brothers and their masters are the same person? How come the regent's moves are similar to those of General Ashina? Don't they? They don't learn the same kung fu? When did the regent start to learn martial arts?"
Yuanjue sweated a little on his forehead, and said: "The master of the regent is a master. I heard that he served as the head of the guard in the palace, but we have never met. Although General Ashina and the regent are brothers, they have learned The exercises are different, so the moves are very different. General Ashina has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and the regent has also learned martial arts since he was a child..."
When the hu cakes came out of the oven, the fragrant sesame seeds overflowed, and the cake sellers with high noses and deep eyes shouted loudly.
Yuanjue couldn't care about explaining Yaoying's confusion, and rushed up with the other Hu people, for fear that she would not be able to grab the cake.
Yaoying looked at his back thoughtfully.
Qi Nian drove the cart, first went to the municipal office to pay the taxes, and then went to the market to trade with the merchants.
Yaoying didn't care about selling goods, she took her soldiers for a walk around, and deliberately stopped for a long time in front of the shop selling silk, silk, jewelry and jade, to inquire about the favorite patterns of the noble ladies of Gaochang, and what kind of makeup is popular in the palace. , Did Yuchi Damo and the Turkic princess live in harmony
Before sunset, she and Yuanjue returned to the post house first.
The personal soldiers told her that although the little prince Jin Bo was domineering, he did not swagger into the palace, but hid his identity like them.
"This is strange, he is pampered, why doesn't he live in the palace?"
Gaochang is now a minister to Beirong, and as long as Jin Bo shows his identity, Yuchi Bodhidharma also has to respect him, and he and the Turkic princess in the palace are cousins.
Yuanjue whispered: "The little prince must have ulterior motives!"
Yaoying's heart moved, and she knocked on Sultan Gu's door.
"General Su, it's me."
Footsteps quickly sounded in the house, Sultan Gula opened the door, his eyes fell on Yaoying's face, and he was stunned.
Yaoying stood in front of him, dressed in a beard woman's costume, a twilight shirt, a pomegranate red skirt, and her braided hair full of pearls and jade fell on her shoulders. She held a mask in her hand to block her face.
A kind-hearted old man's mask, half blue and half red, like two faces.
Sultan didn't speak for a long time.
Yaoying took off the mask, with a smile floating on her cheeks, she got into the room directly from under his arm, and asked in a low voice, "General Su, can you give the mage a message on my behalf?"
Sultan didn't drive her out, and asked lightly, "What message?"
Yaoying's voice became lower and lower: "Jin Bo came to Gaochang, and Haidu Aling also came. Beirong is afraid that there will be chaos. They have the same purpose as ours, they are all here to find Yuchi Bodhidharma."
Sultan Gu moved, and after a while, said: "We will go to the palace and Buddhist temple tonight to meet Yuchi Bodhidharma."
Yaoying nodded, raised her eyes, and stared at the mask on Sultan's face.
He was so quick to react, so decisive... Why did he disappear for no reason after Thamaraga passed away
The author has something to say: Sorry, there will be fewer updates in the past two days. Last night, I suddenly felt a sore throat and drank some Banlangen. Although it felt like a sore throat, people in Hubei were really afraid, especially a few days ago. Also went to the hospital. Hold my thermos tightly, I'm going to drink hot water.
