Chapter 926: Departure

When they returned to Dunhuang again, the Huangsha Ancient City was still bustling and bustling. The seemingly peaceful atmosphere was mixed with a hint of danger of storm. The two of them turned back to the grottoes outside and waited patiently. At night, the caravans stationed outside the city lit bonfires in groups to drink and dance, and the brighter firelight shone from the city. Yun Xiao looked at the tall torch from afar, closed his eyes and felt the faint breath of the wind. He sighed relievedly and said, "It seems that he has been controlled. There is no longer the fragrance of the drug."

Xiao Qianye was restless and turned the water cup in his hand. He always felt that something was particularly inconsistent. In Dunhuang, such an important place, the imperial court had not noticed it all year round. Most of the time, there were even greater backers in the capital to protect it. Whose power is so powerful that it covers the sky?

Yun Xiao sat down with him, tilted his head on his shoulder, and murmured to himself: "The year you came to the Central Plains, the harbor was still in a dilapidated state, but it has been built very grandly now. Half a century of war will take half a century to recover, so why don't you cherish it?"

"The destruction of the dynasty often starts to rot from the inside." Xiao Qianye withdrew his thoughts and hugged her head and pressed it on his knees. He gently lowered his head and touched her face and sighed lightly, "Put it to calm the country before fighting against foreign countries. This has been the case in all dynasties. There are only a few places like Kunlun Mountain that are indifferent to the world."

"So I'm still very lucky, right?" Yun Xiao raised his hand and patted his forehead, giggling, "I've been spoiled since I was a child, and I can meet someone I like since I was a child."

He was slightly lost, and forced a smile and did not reply. Yun Xiao touched his chest and listened to the sound of his heartbeat, asking, "Have you been injured better these days? Does it still hurt?"

"It's okay." When talking about this question, Xiao Qianye quickly grabbed her shoulder and sat upright, "I'm really okay, Fire seed, you should take it back quickly. I've told you a long time ago not to take it out as a toy!"

"Is it really okay?" Yun Xiao looked at her with disbelief, putting his fingers on the wound and exerted a little force. The flame burst out for a moment. Before he could react, his body trembled like an electric shock. Then the severe pain caused his hands to spasm uncontrollably. Yun Xiao quickly pressed him down, put his head on his knees, and cursed with a stern face, "This is also called nothing? It's okay to have to lie on the bed and can't move?"

He wanted to argue, but his throat was like fire burning, and he couldn't make any sound. Yun Xiao took the opportunity to complain endlessly, and he could only stare at his eyes and listen without missing a word.

It was five days later that Sangqi found them with the guidance of the Fire Butterfly, and forwarded the message from the Yuezhi secret technique to the two of them, and said happily: "The eldest lady said that Miss Tang has woken up, so that the two of them can rest assured that Yuezhi will do her best to take good care of him."

Yun Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, transformed into a fire butterfly, briefly stated the situation in Dunhuang, pointed to the direction of Kunlun Mountain and sent a message to Tianche. He looked back at Xiao Qianye who was resting in the corner of the wall: "Let the senior brother arrange someone to come and pick up the senior sister, it would be even better if Miss Wen was willing to go back together."

"Hmm?" Xiao Qianye opened his eyes in a daze, as if he didn't hear clearly what she was saying.

Sangqi's face was filled with an excited expression, and he looked a lot more energetic. He clasped his fists at the two of them to thank him: "I took the two demon girls to find General Yao to explain the situation. The secret letter you found from Lord Sun's mansion was indeed from the hands of the Uighur Khan. Lei Gongmo has been secretly controlled, but the situation in the court is unclear. General Yao ordered us to keep our troops still and sent people to whip back overnight to report this to the Prime Minister, hoping to find out the mastermind behind the scenes."

Yun Xiao blinked her eyes in a vague way. Although she was a native of the Central Plains, she had been practicing at the top of Kunlun for many years and had hardly cared about the political situation in the world. She was unable to react to these strange names at the moment. Xiao Qianye brought Cui Xiuming to Sangqi and said indifferently: "We have interrogated him these days. He said that the contactor of the Saint Boy Haggins is a man named 'Darkrack'. The name should be a pseudonym. The accomplices all use pseudonyms, which shows that their trust is insufficient. Anxi is a military important place. Who would collude with the Demon Sect? Uighurs are targeting here?"

Sangqi was a little surprised that he was sensitive to these complex relationships. He looked around and explained in a low voice: "Young Master doesn't know that the emperor was actually the eldest grandson of the late emperor. The crown prince was in his prime and suddenly contracted a bad disease and died in just a few months. In less than half a year, the late emperor was seriously ill. He thought that his successor would choose the best among several smart and capable sons. However, the late emperor's will ordered the ten-year-old emperor to succeed the throne.

It caused an uproar, but the old empress dowager came forward and mentioned the two auxiliary ministers to calm the matter. One of the two auxiliary ministers, one is Guo Youan and Prime Minister Guo from Anxi, Hexi, and the other is the sixth prince of the emperor in charge of Fan Yang and Hedong. It has been almost ten years since the two sides were evenly matched. Although there was a private minister and the princes and the two factions fought openly and secretly, there was no big trouble. They have been living peacefully together forever."

Xiao Qianye's eyebrows were slightly frowned. For an ambitious politician, ten years were just enough to develop his party members to consolidate his power. This was not a peaceful coexistence, but a peaceful coexistence was simply to make a breakup, right?

However, he soon realized a trace of abnormality. The four towns of Anxi are one of the most important supporters of the Chief Secretary. It is indeed reasonable to use the Demon Cult to cut off the wings. However, in such a core military important place, the wise princes in Fanyang's area can really stretch their minions so far? If it is not difficult to get rid of Wen Zhaoqin, it should not be so easy to support a confidant in the enemy's base camp. Prime Minister Guo cannot be in such an important position, right?

Xiao Qianye subconsciously turned the hilt of the sword and reasonably told him that there was an unimaginable conspiracy behind this matter, and everything in the capital was very unfamiliar with outsiders like them. Without power and power, he not only could not gain trust, but was also easily involved in factional struggles and ended up being out of the world. Although he was confused, he asked in a regular manner in a simple tone: "Sangqi, Prime Minister, I believe he must be respected, right?"

"Of course, the Prime Minister is loyal and assisted the emperor for three generations. Now he is still stronger!" Sangqi answered proudly with his chest straightened, with respect all over his eyes, "When the Prime Minister was young, he led his troops to resist the invasion of the Uighurs. Later, although he was old, he often came to the barracks to give advice in person. Even General Wen said that the country was so stable, and the Prime Minister was the one who made an indestructible contribution."

Xiao Qianye nodded habitually. It was actually difficult for him to feel Sangqi's ambition from these strange names and strange pasts. He just looked at the admiration in the other party's eyes and couldn't help but smile. When he was about to speak, he saw Yun Xiao jumping in front of him and blocking the words between him and Sangqi: "Then let's go to Chang'an first. Haggins took Reincarnation Lu, and we have to find that batch of drugs as soon as possible."

Xiao Qianye frowned and found that Yun Xiao was looking at him guiltily. Then he realized the true meaning of the sentence "Let the senior brother arrange someone to come and pick up the senior sister" just now. It seemed that he had seen through all his thoughts. She squinted her eyes and changed the angle and said with a sensation: "Reincarnation is very harmful to people. Whether it is flowing into the court or scattered in the market, it is an unrestrained disaster. Since the conspiracy of the Demon Cult has been broken by us, we should clear it to the end. The drugs they can't let them get out harm the ones."

She hooked her fingers away from the spell wrapped in Cui Xiuming, and told Sangqi seriously: "This guy is handed over to you. He has been enjoying his happiness in Persia for so many years, and he can only deceive the ignorant believers with a sweet word. After I take back the fire, I believe that Master Cui, who followed the Demon Cult to move westward, has lost his power of immortality and died of old age. You can find a way to interrogate General Wen, hoping to rehabilitate General Wen. In addition, the Demon Cult once slapped a drug in the torch in Dunhuang City. Fortunately, the amount is not very large. If you contact the priest of Yuezhi, there should be a complete cure. Qianye and I will set off to the capital."

"Okay!" Sangqi clenched his fists with gratitude, tears in his eyes lingering in his eyes, and he choked, "General Wen treats me as his own. Unfortunately, I am from a poor family. I can't change anything when I watch him framed and killed by a traitor. Later, I was driven out of the military camp by Lei Gongmo. Because I offended him, no one dared to take me in. I could only swallow my anger and make a living in the inn. Fortunately, I met you. Not only did I expose the conspiracy between the Demon Cult and the Uighurs, but I could also rehabilitate the general! I have no choice but to repay you. If you have the opportunity to come to Dunhuang again in the future, I will definitely take you around and see the beautiful scenery and charm of Dunhuang!"

After saying that, he grabbed Cui Xiuming's hair viciously, looked at the old man who had been drooping overnight, and gritted his teeth: "The young lady used Yuezhi secret technique to contact me before. Cui Xiuming, who followed the Demon Cult, fled westward. This time, he could finally forget about the new and old hatreds. I have to say hello to the Yun brothers later. Perhaps even General Yun's injustice can be redressed!"

Yun Xiao paused for a moment, feeling a little emotional in his heart. The grievances a year ago may have been cleared, but how can the history erased fifty years ago be seen again?

But she didn't say anything after all, but skipped the topic directly. Yun Xiao grinned at him, twisted her waist and waved her crappy flying dance, haha ​​replied: "When I first came, I met a group of beautiful dancers outside the city. Their clothes are so beautiful! I will definitely practice dancing well next time I come, and you all have to come and support me!"

"Okay, sure!" Sangqi grabbed his head and smiled silly, tied Cui Xiuming and placed it on the camel's back. At this time, a blue shuffle fox came out from his feet, holding Yuezhi's message in his mouth. He quickly picked up the blue fox and untied the chain on his ankle and handed it to the two of them, "Brother Yun has arrived in the capital. He lives in the dessert shop in the east of the city. You can contact him with Xiaolan's token. I have to leave too. I will drag your blessings. General Yao will incorporate me!"

"Congratulations! Maybe next time I come back, you will become a general!" Yun Xiao clasped his fists at him with a smile, took the bracelet and put it on his wrist. Yu Guang glanced at Xiao Qianye with a gloomy face, and laughed strangely twice to relieve the embarrassment, and asked tentatively: "Then... Then let's go to Chang'an now. No matter how their own people fight, Reincarnation is a thing of the Demon Cult. I must be responsible for it. Can you accompany me? "
