Drunken and faintly dreaming

After hearing this, Father Gao nodded repeatedly and murmured to his daughter: "I think this kid is also a useful person. It is not a good idea to drive him away rashly. For now, it is better to let him stay in the caravan for the time being. Dad will send someone

Just pay attention all the time.”

That night, Azida took two or three people with him and rode a fast horse back to the ruins of the Beacon Tower. However, no matter how hard they searched, they could never find the original small hill with the tombstone of Old Hao Tou——

What on earth is going on here?

It turns out that what Gao Lihua whispered to his father when interrogating Xin Zhuihu was that he wanted to secretly send someone back to the beacon tower to dig up the small mound to find out whether there was "Old Hao Tou" inside.

"'s body. However, it seems that someone is secretly causing trouble, and that person is always quick to move - he can always arrange things before others want to do something!

Azida, who returned dejectedly and without success, had worked in vain all night. As soon as he saw Xin Zhuihu, he angrily wanted to settle the score with him - but he was not good at it, and in the end he could not get any benefits. Only Gao Li

Hua saw it and said: Darling, it seems that this boy has a good background. Every time, he can get secret help from an expert - he is really not to be underestimated!

The Gao family's camel team stayed at Moranchang, allowing the horses and camels to have a good rest for two or three days. They also replenished the drinking water and dry food for the road, and then continued to move southwest... This time, their destination

It is a fortified city located in the southwest of the Western Territory - Shiye City, controlled by Sobu, King of Jin of Xidi.

Seeing that the camel caravan had already embarked on the last journey to Shia City, the old Ani who was partnering with Old Hao Tou couldn't help but told him: "Xiao Xin, the city not far ahead is Sobu

Prince...oh, this is the current royal city of His Highness Prince Jin - Shiye City! Don't think that old Ani is too verbose, from now on you have to pay attention to it at all times!"

"Oh? Old Ani, what do you want me to pay attention to?" Xin Zhuihu is now a slightly cute young person, so when he asks questions, he also has a sense of innocence.

"Haha, of course I am referring to those - those people who are all-pervasive in the Shijintang!" After saying this, old Ani whipped his horse and galloped forward all the way... However, he still did not forget

Then he added another reminder: "Keep your eyes open and pay attention all the time..."

"Old Ani, please slow down and wait for me -" Xin Zhuihu was having fun, as if he was back to his youth again... "Xin Qulong, you don't want to wait for me either - read this

I'll whip you hard, girl!" Gao Lihua galloped up, and the long whip was thrown behind Xin Zhuihu unceremoniously, making a very loud sound.

"Dad, look..." Azida looked at his sister flirting with Xin Zhuihu, and went over to "snitch" with Gao Gao with a wink. Gao Gao smiled and said, "I'm happy to see it."

Success", showing some relief, he raised his eyes to the sky and murmured to himself: "The old man also came from a young age, I know the worries of young people!"

At this time, at an altitude of nearly 10,000 meters, a goshawk spread out its iron-hard wings and swooped down unusually quickly - did it find any prey that could be caught?

…

In the inner courtyard of King Jin's Mansion in Shi'ite City, in a gorgeously decorated sauna, a tall, shirtless man was pouring water on the pile of hot stones in front of him in small spoonfuls - he kept saying "

He didn't say a word, just staring at the steaming water vapor in a daze...

A moment later, there was a sound of shuffling footsteps in the corridor outside, and then a high-pitched voice whispered outside the door: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report."

"Bring it up!" The shirtless man growled impatiently, and poured another spoonful of cold water on the stones. In the white steam that was evaporating again, the man unplugged the letter tube and took out a piece of water.

Zhang letter.

When he saw the bright red and eye-catching "rice" logo on the letterhead, the big man smiled imperceptibly, and suddenly understood in his heart: It must be that old man Mu who is here to beg for mercy again! The content of this letter is very simple, with only a few words.

A few words - the goods are due to arrive in the near future.

In the desolate and vast land of the West, various sources of goods have been transported long distances by camel caravans since ancient times - and the frequency is generally not very high. As the letter said, "In recent times,

The keywords "" and "cargo" point to--no doubt it is the Gao family's caravan that is about to arrive in Shi'ite City.

With the high status of King Jin, ordinary caravans that come and go to deliver goods do not need to do any work at all. He just follows today's "urgent report to the palace", and a discerning person can know without asking: where is the Gao family's caravan?

There must be something extraordinary in the transported goods!

At that moment, King Jin, who was enjoying the sauna, didn't say much. He took out a dark iron token from a deerskin bag and handed it out. He said coldly: "Ask Shijintang to send two people immediately."

Elder—go and escort!”

The housekeeper immediately agreed and went about his business cautiously...

The name of the steward in King Jin's Mansion was Duosuo. Because his name violated the taboo of Prince Jin Sobu, he had to change his name to "Duo Suo". Later, the servants in the palace privately called him "Duosuo".

The housekeeper went around all the twists and turns and winding corridors, and finally came to a place with a high wall standing in the backyard of the palace, leaving only a strictly gated area.

Two doormen wearing green and black "flying bat suits" with stern expressions stared closely at his every move. When they saw this man trying to break in, they immediately reached out and blocked his way without hesitation.

The steward sneered, raised his hand and showed the token in his palm, and said in a cold tone: "According to the king's order, enter the hall!"

A guard came closer to take a closer look and confirmed that it was really a "wolf-headed bat black iron token" before he raised his hand and let it go. The butler who successfully entered the hall suddenly changed into a arrogant attitude, quite superior to everyone else.

A sense of "supreme authority".

Stepping into the gloomy assorted hall, the butler couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and shiver a few times involuntarily - at this moment, he really became a veritable "shivering" butler. Then a voice came out.

He was reminded in his heart: cheer up, cheer up, and be sure to show your majesty "as if the king is here in person"!

So, Duo Butler raised the black iron token in his hand high and shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness King Jin Jun's decree!" As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden "crash" sound - from hall to hall.

Immediately, a large number of people knelt down in darkness...
