"He saw the last wine of the Emperor's Sacrifice before he showed up and left."

After hearing this, I was silent, thought for a long time, then looked up at him: "What do you mean? Xie Feng escaped from prison and escaped here, and then ventured to the imperial tomb to peek at the emperor's sacrifice to the imperial tomb, just to see him sacrifice the last wine?"

"At least, it seems like that."

"So, what is his purpose?"

“…”

Qinghan also thought quietly for a long time, as if he had finally decided on something, then turned to look at me: "Do you still remember when the emperor sacrificed the last wine?"

I immediately recalled that because I was standing in the southwest of the altar, I clearly remember that Pei Yuanhao had his back to me.

"He was sacrificed to the northwest."

"Then, where are we tracking now?"

“It’s also the northwest…”

As I was talking, my voice suddenly became hoarse, and I suddenly looked up at him: "What do you mean is Xie Feng and the emperor finished sacrificing the last sacrificial wine to confirm the direction of his sacrificial wine?"

Qinghan said in a deep voice: "It seems that this should be the case now."

My mind was in chaos for a moment.

If the last wine that Pei Yuanhao sacrificed after sacrificing the imperial tomb was related to the Longxi Army that had once been stationed here, then, Xie Feng, who was waiting for him to sacrifice the last wine and now headed with the direction of the wine, was his purpose also the Longxi Army?

I murmured in surprise: "Xie Feng is also related to the Longxi Army?"

Qinghan nodded silently: "It's very likely."

"But," I said hesitantly: "Xie Feng's ancestor Xie Datong was the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor of the previous dynasty. Their Xie family was not one of the eight pillars of the previous dynasty. They were civil servants and had nothing to do with the Longxi Army."

Qinghan thought quietly for a while and said, "I agree with the first few words you said, but I don't agree with the last words."

“…”

I was stunned and turned to look at him. He said calmly: "The officials of the court are divided into civil and military affairs, and there is no separation between civil and military affairs. Everyone's relationship is complicated and intertwined. Maybe in your opinion, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervision Commission is just a civil servant who explores the celestial phenomena, but they may not have nothing to do with an army stationed in the northwest."

I just felt my head full: "But, what kind of relationship will it be?"

“…”

This time, he did not speak, but frowned and thought for a long time. Finally, when another gust of cold wind blew over, we both couldn't stand it anymore. Just as the servants over there came, "Miss Yan, Mr. Liu, it's getting late, so you two should go and rest quickly. There is still a long way to go tomorrow."

We both nodded and responded, and the attendant turned and left. I said to Qinghan: "Get a rest early."

"The same to you."

The two of them walked away separately and went to their respective resting places to sleep.

When I was sleeping at night, I vaguely heard a trembling sound on the ground. It seemed that the soldiers who were exploring the way forward rushed back to report the news. However, because the wind was too loud, I didn't hear what the people outside said, so I turned over and fell asleep in a drowsy way.

Before dawn the next day, everyone stood up one after another.

Because she slept earlier than me, Miaoyan jumped up in full spirit, walked around and then returned to me. She pointed to the horizon and said to me, "Look at me, it's so beautiful."

When I turned around, I saw the morning glow in the sky, red, yellow, pink and purple, and all kinds of colors were intertwined, as if the colorful brocade woven by fairies were torn and scattered in the sky, which was a little more gorgeous than a rainbow.

Such a beautiful scenery made me smile: "Yes, it's so beautiful."

"I haven't seen such a beautiful morning glow for a long time, and I didn't expect that I could still see such a beautiful scenery here."

"The scenery is beautiful, but our road today is difficult to walk."

Miaoyan was stunned and turned her head to look at me: "Why?"

I smiled and said, "You haven't heard of the morning glow when you don't go out, but you've traveled thousands of miles?"

She immediately shook her head: "No, what does it mean?"

"This is a folk proverb, meaning that if a beautiful morning glow appears in the morning, the weather will not be too good on this day, and it may be windy and rainy, so it is not suitable to travel. On the contrary, if you see a beautiful evening glow the night before, the next day will be a sunny day."

"So that's the case," she nodded in a sudden realization: "It's really interesting."

After a while, the leader prepared breakfast and brought it to us for food.

Miaoyan held the small bowl and thought about it. She rushed to Pei Yuanhao. After I finished breakfast, she returned to me and said softly: "Father doesn't believe me."

"What?"

"I just told my father that there will be windy and rainy in the morning glow, but my father said that it is a good thing to rain in this place."

"It's a good thing indeed."

"Mom," she turned to look at me: "What if there is wind on the way?"

I couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect that just a casual word I said would make this girl care so much, and I ran to Pei Yuanhao to say it - but he didn't know that this time I followed Xie Feng, it was not as simple as an ordinary pursuit, and Pei Yuanhao wouldn't change his itinerary just because of a specious folk proverb.

However, I couldn't tell her these words in detail, so I just smiled and touched her hair.

Miaoyan pouted and turned around muttered. At this time, there were already servants placing horses, and everyone in front was about to prepare for the road.

I turned around and looked at the brilliant colorful clouds in the sky.

|

When we set out, the sky was still colorful clouds. After walking for a while, the sunset faded and the clouds slowly gathered over our heads.

When the wind blows, I look up and see that the clouds above my head have changed color.

The wind is not very strong. If it is in a town, such wind will only blow away the heat from people in such a season. But now, we are walking on the endless wasteland, and the wind blows over with gravel, making people's faces hurt. Even if we are all sitting in the carriage, there will be a wind that leaks into the curtain to show its power.

Sand also entered Miaoyan's eyes. I held her face and helped her blow away. When I looked out, gusts of wind swirled up the yellow sand. The people around me became a little difficult to move forward. The people riding on the horse could only hold the reins with one hand and block the other on their faces, while the soldiers walking narrowed their eyes.

I looked at the situation outside, frowned slightly, Qinghan also lifted the curtain and looked outside, murmured, "Isn't it really going to change the sky, right?"

I whispered: "It might be just a gust of wind, it should be fine."

The convoy slowly advanced a while in such a wind. At about noon, the wind became heavier and louder, and there was no intention of stopping. Sitting in the carriage, listening to the howling outside, and even in the wind, there was a tiny sound of impact, which was the sound of the wind blowing even greater gravel onto the carriage.

The people outside had cloth covered their faces, but at this time, they were completely unable to block the invasion of wind and sand.

This is wrong...

I thought about it, lifted the curtain and called Chabixing. He rode a horse to follow our carriage. When he heard me call him, he came over immediately. He also had a veil on his face and asked me with his eyes squinted, "Miss, what's the matter?"

I said, "You go ahead and ask, can we still leave in such weather?"

I didn't ask anyone, but he knew very well. He nodded and immediately rode his horse forward. At this time, the wind was louder than before. The curtain could not be blocked and was blown to fly. Miaoyan reached out and pressed hard to prevent the wind from pouring in. After a while, the sound of horse hooves returned to our carriage. I lifted a thread of curtains and saw Chabixing walking beside him and said loudly: "The emperor said, the pathfinder is ready in front, and we will be there after another walk."

"oh……"

I nodded and put the curtain down again.

But the situation is not objective at all. After walking for another half an hour, the sun has completely disappeared, and even the dark clouds above my head cannot be seen. The wind is getting stronger and stronger. In the end, it is like a dragon roaring and tiger roaring. The wind is pouring yellow sand over the sky, dyeing the whole world into a dim yellow.

I can't even see the horse team that is so close to me.

The carriage was also moving slowly and slowly. At this time, the body of the car suddenly stopped. Qinghan and Miaoyan both leaned to a corner of the carriage, and they heard people outside shouting: "No, the wheels are trapped in!"

"Get out of the car quickly, this won't work!"

At this time, my heart also sank.

I remembered the team of merchants who returned to the army I met on the way to Qingtang City. They said that they encountered wind and sand on the road and were almost killed. It seems that we are also facing this situation now!

The carriage had already sunk into a ditch. If the wind blows like this, the carriage will be overturned. We hurriedly got out of the carriage and took the veils I bought in Fengxiang City to Miaoyan and myself. Qinghan and the others had already covered their faces with veils. At this time, the attendant in front of us brought a few camels, who were originally walking at the forefront of the horse team to lead the way.

My face turned pale: "Are we going to leave?"

The attendant shouted: "You have to leave. If you stay in this place, you may be buried by wind and sand."

“…”

"Miss Yan, don't hesitate, go up!"

As they said that, they held me, Miaoyan, and Qinghan onto the camel. Miaoyan and I rode the same horse, and Qinghan walked beside us on another camel.

At this time, we can only do this and can barely move forward in such wind and sand.
