After escaping from Tianji Camp, they were left penniless and injured, so their trip to leave Mobei for West Vietnam was delayed again and again.

After raising it for nearly half a month, the two of them couldn't bear it any longer and began to make plans to set off immediately.

Money was very soft and had to be prepared in advance. The two of them took advantage of a certain wealthy businessman to visit Hu Ji for a drink and took away a large amount of money from him. Then they found two camels and set off.

However, no one expected that something unexpected happened as soon as they set out on the road.

From the moment they mounted their camels and set off, the road home was full of thorns and dangers.

At first, Yan Huai and Ji Jun both doubted whether there were still people alive in the Tianji Camp. The people chasing them in the dark at this moment were the remaining people of the Tianji Camp. Thinking about this, they deliberately slowed down and started

Set up a counterattack.

Late that night when the moon was full, they successfully captured a man.

But the man looked strange, no one had ever seen him before, and he was obviously not from the Tianji Camp.

In his confusion, before he could be tortured, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide.

It's a dead soldier...

In recent years, the Tianji Battalion has been circulating among the thirty-six countries in the Western Region. Master Feng can only see yellow and white things in his eyes, and cannot see anything else. Therefore, no matter what kind of mission it is, he will accept it. Today, he will kill what his employer wants to kill.

People can accept money from others to kill their previous employer tomorrow.

Going back and forth, the enemies of Tianji camp are almost all over the countries in the Western Region.

Fortunately, they have been hiding and no one has ever found the location of the Tianji Camp. Every time they act, they usually wear masks. Therefore, no one knows the true faces of the people in the Tianji Camp.

But now, the two of them no longer dare to be as sure as before.

They were just about to leave Mobei when they were targeted.

He must be someone sent by some country to seek revenge.

The two of them thought so, but when Ji Jun discovered the wooden sign from the dead person, they fell into a difficult situation again.

It was an old wooden sign, small, with only a bird carved on it.

——It's a swallow.

Other than that, there are no words, no sentences. Nothing.

Of course Ji Jun couldn't understand the meaning, but Yan Huai understood it in an instant.

The Yan family is a long-established family. All the successive Dukes of Cheng Kingdom have been good at martial arts and have enjoyed the honor of being able to support an elite army of no more than a hundred people.

For the emperor who is sitting on the throne, only a hundred people are not something to be afraid of. Even if Duke Cheng wants to rebel one day, these people alone will never be able to enter the palace. Therefore, the successive emperors of Western Vietnam have never asked

The Yan family abolished this team.

They are just like guests, only kept in the Yan family. No one really takes them seriously.

However, as the eldest son, Yan Huai, although he left home at a young age, he also knew that the elite soldiers under his father Yan Jing's command were actually far more than a hundred men.

Moreover, that group of people will definitely not be captured so easily.

Half shocked and half frightened, he turned the sign over and over carefully.

Black card, swallow pattern.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This group of people did not belong to his father's closest elite army of 100 soldiers.

Before he left Kyoto, his father took him to see that group of people once.

Everyone wears a red card around their waist.

With the same swallow pattern, the red card is the top grade and the black card is the bottom grade.

No one can move the person holding the red card without the personal order of Duke Cheng. But the black card is different. As long as there is the handwriting of Duke Cheng, he can be moved without seeing anyone.

However, besides Yan Jing, the current Duke of Chengguo, who else could run around with his letters and notes?

His heart tightened, and the old wooden sign shattered into powder in his palm.

Ji Jun did not miss the strange look on Yanhuai's face that day.

After killing that man, the people who were chasing them seemed to suddenly become bolder.

They fled in embarrassment all the way without even a chance to stop and talk.

Now that I had finally changed into clean clothes safely in the inn, I could sit down and say a few words. Of course Ji Jun wanted to ask.

But the answer he got from Yan Huai surprised him.

He seemed to be in disbelief, and without waiting for Yan Huai's reply, he asked again: "You never said how you came to Tianji Camp. I thought you were probably like me, and were cruelly sent to practice martial arts by your parents at home.

That’s all, but now it seems that it’s not like that?”

Yan Huai, who was standing by the window, turned around. The hands hanging by his sides suddenly clenched. The expression in his eyes changed rapidly. After a long time, he said slowly: "I don't know."

Indeed, he still doesn't know why his father sent him to Mobei in the past, and he also doesn't know whether his father sent someone to kill him this time, and why he did it.

Even though he racked his brains and racked his brain, he still couldn't think clearly.

From the beginning, this matter was full of mystery.

It just bothered Ji Jun.

After being silent for a while, he said: "Seventh Senior Brother, they will not give up until they catch someone. If you are traveling with me, you will inevitably be involved, so you might as well leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Jun frowned angrily and said bitterly: "Do you think I'm afraid?"

"Of course I know you are not afraid." Yan Huai chuckled, "But I can't let you think that I lost my life. You still have parents, brothers and sisters at home waiting for you to return."

After hearing this, Ji Jun still felt that he had been slighted, "You saved my life. Even if I give my life back to you this time, it's still the right thing to do. What's more, the current situation is good, and those people may not be able to be found.

You and me.”

When a storm hit some time ago, they finally took the opportunity to get away from the people, and narrowly escaped death and got into the camel caravan heading for Kyoto.

It was then that things seemed to suddenly calm down.

"Perhaps, those people have already died under the sand dunes." Ji Jun frowned and said stubbornly, "You don't have to drive me away. If you leave me, you will really die."

Yan Huai walked to the table and sat down, lying on the table with a haggard expression, and smiled, "Seventh Senior Brother doesn't want to leave, so don't leave. You and I are brothers. It would be a good thing if we can die together.

.”

After hearing this, Ji Jun paused slightly as he raised his hand to make tea for himself.

"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. We won't die here so easily."

Together, the two of them are not even old enough to stand up. If they die like this, who can be willing to do so?

At the very least, Ji Jun will never be reconciled...

Yan Huai didn't speak any more, he just lay there quietly, thinking of another doubt.

He came to Mobei. He was sent here by his father's people.

The only person who knows that he is in Mobei is probably his father.

Otherwise, how could his maternal grandfather's family allow such a ridiculous thing to happen?

Even though little Wan became Mrs. Yan and gave birth to Yan Lin, his father no longer cared about him. But he still had the blood of the Wan family flowing in his body. His biological mother was the heart and soul of the old Mrs. Wan family. In front of his grandmother, if he

Yan Lin could only sit at the bottom of the bed in a dignified manner while he could act coquettishly and playfully in her arms.

It's a pity that he has not been favored by his grandfather since he was a child.

But Yan Lin is equally unpleasant.

He had never thought about the reason for this. Now that he is getting older and thinking about it again, he gradually has a different feeling.

The biological mother, the Da Wan family, and the stepmother, the Xiao Wan family, are both direct daughters of the old lady of the Wan family.

Even if she is biased, she should not marry her second daughter into the Chengguo Duke's palace as a stepmother.

Of course, judging from the Yan family's family status, a girl from the Wan family's concubine is indeed not even qualified to be a stepmother. But the second daughter... seems too grand... The sister-in-law became the brother-in-law's house filler.

.It doesn’t seem to be a good thing worth talking about.

He vaguely remembered that the wet nurse once mentioned that his biological aunt would become his stepmother. It was because the old lady of the Wan family pitied him for losing his mother at a young age and was afraid that others would not take care of him, so she was willing to marry her second daughter.

Come.

He believed this when he was a child.

Now that I think about it again, I can't convince myself anymore.

…

The room was silent.

The noise outside the inn became more clearly heard from the window.

The sounds of voices, shouts, and the crisp ringing of camel bells, mixed with the sounds of children playing and crying, penetrated into the ears of the two people in the room.

Suddenly, almost at the same moment, the two of them stood up and walked quickly to the window.

He stood alone, without raising his head, and only quietly looked at the people downstairs with the corner of his eyes.

The location of their room faces the street, and to the left is the door of the inn.
