Because she slept too much in the carriage during the day, Xi Qian woke up early in the morning as soon as it was dark. She touched Xuechun's bunk next to her in a hazy state. It was cold. It seemed that Xuechun had already gotten up.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and lifted the curtain, only to find a strange man standing by the window. Xiqian was startled and hurriedly looked for the dagger under her pillow. When she heard the noise behind her, the man turned around and she
Only then did he see clearly that it was Xuechun who was wearing men's clothing.
"Sister, wake up. Do you think I look good in this outfit? Do I look like a man?" Seeing her getting up, Xuechun jumped to the bedside and showed her the men's clothing.
Xi Qian looked around and smiled and said, "As long as you don't move and don't speak, no one will be able to tell that you are a woman."
"Ah? That doesn't look like it!" Xuechun looked in the mirror dejectedly.
"It's not like just putting on men's clothes will make you look like a man. It's the same as a beggar who puts on a dragon robe won't look like an emperor. You have to change your walking posture and voice to look like a man."
"Sister, why do you compare me to a beggar?" Xue Chun didn't hear anything else, but a beggar wearing a dragon robe understood.
Xiqian smiled apologetically and said, "It was just an analogy, and I didn't really say you were a beggar."
While laughing, Xiqian also put on the men's clothes she had prepared. It took her a while to get used to it after growing up wearing brocade clothes and skirts.
She walked up and down the house imitating the way a man walks, and Xuechun also followed her example. Suddenly Xiqian stopped walking, turned around, lifted Xuechun's chin with the folding fan in her hand, and imitated the man's voice and said
, "Beauty, would you like to have some fun with me tonight?"
Xuechun also cooperated with a shy look and said coyly, "Master, you are so bad!"
After saying this, the two of them were so happy that they almost fell to the ground.
"Why are you not sleeping so early in the morning?" I don't know if it was the person next door or across the street who was awakened by their laughter and opened the door in protest in dissatisfaction.
The two of them hurriedly covered the laughter in their mouths, but they still couldn't stop laughing and their faces turned red.
"Dang, dang, dang," there was a knock on the door. They thought it was a guest who had been woken up and came to the door. They hurriedly opened the door with a smile and apologized, but it was Yu Wen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin standing at the door.
"What are you laughing at? You can hear it from a long way away." Yuwen Haoxuan said as he walked into the room and sat down.
Xi Qian suppressed her laughter and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's fun to wear men's clothes."
Yu Wen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin looked at the two of them up and down. They felt that they were a little uncomfortable, but it was not funny.
No longer entangled in this issue, Yuwen Haoxuan said, "Breakfast has been prepared in the lobby. Come down when you have finished packing. We need to leave as soon as possible while there are still few people on the street."
After sending the confused two people out, Xi Qian and Xuechun laughed for a while before picking up their bags and going downstairs.
When we arrived at the inn lobby, it was indeed still early, and the hall was deserted. Only Yu Wen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin were sitting around the table in the corner, and the waiter who served the dishes couldn't help but yawn.
The four of them finished their breakfast quickly, put the few small bundles on the carriage and set off. As before, Li Maolin drove, Yuwen Haoxuan rode the horse, and Xi Qian and Xuechun sat in the carriage.
Yuwen Haoxuan did not enter the carriage today, which really made Xi Qian breathe a sigh of relief.
The carriage quickly drove out of the town, and the green water and green mountains along the way were still beautiful. At first, it felt bright, but after a long time, it will inevitably feel a bit monotonous.
In order to make the atmosphere on the road more relaxed, Xiqian and Xuechun opened all the door and side curtains of the carriage and sang loudly. For Yuwen Haoxuan, who had heard the beautiful voices of countless singers, their singing was not the same.
It cannot be said to be very melodious, but it has a unique flavor when sung in this vast world.
When the swallow flies away, its feathers are lost. When its son returns home, he is sent far away into the wild. He can't see it and can't reach it, and weeps like rain.
The swallows are flying, and they are fighting against each other. When the son returns, he is far away from the general, and he looks out of reach, and stands still and weeps.
The swallow is flying, and its sound is coming down. The son is returning, and is sent far to the south. I look far beyond my reach, and it really helps my heart.
When Zhong was left alone, his heart was blocked. He was gentle and kind at the end, and he was careful about his body. He thought of his ancestors and used them to exploit others.
The melodious singing was floating in the treetops in the forest. Yu Wen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin looked at each other and smiled. They looked at the two people in the car who were in a good mood and shook their heads. They didn't understand how they could sing such sad farewell words so cheerfully.
.
After singing a few songs, Xiqian and Xuechun felt a little thirsty, so they started playing punching and throwing dice in the car. Wearing men's clothes, they could let go of their hands and feet without worrying about behaving indecently.
It was almost noon while we were chatting and laughing, and when we heard the sound of rushing water not far away, Yu Wen Haoxuan waved his hand to indicate a break, and Liu Maolin took a few water bags and followed the sound of the water.
Xi Zhi and Xue Chun also got out of the car to relax their muscles and bones. After running for their lives yesterday, they had already adapted to the bumps of the carriage.
Seeing Liu Maolin coming back from fetching water, Xi Qian took out a few paper bags in the car, which were the food prepared in the inn this morning. Because of the inconvenience in the wild, they could only make do with what they had.
Suddenly there seemed to be a shadow passing over her head. Xi Qian raised her head and looked up at the sky, but saw nothing.
"What are you looking at, sister?" Xuechun saw her raising her head, so she also looked up to the sky.
"Did you feel like something big was flying past in the sky just now?" Seeing nothing unusual, Xi Qian had no choice but to ask Xuechun for confirmation.
Xuechun thought about it seriously and said, "What you said seems to be true. I didn't notice it just now and thought it was a cloud, but clouds can't float so fast."
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and bring the food." Yu Wen Haoxuan, who was sitting on the ground not far away, urged them impatiently.
Xi Qian trotted up to him with the food and said, "Just now, Xuechun and I saw a big thing flying over our heads, but in the blink of an eye we couldn't see anything anymore."
Yuwen Haoxuan and Liu Maolin looked at each other and seemed to have the answer. They broke down a few thick and lush branches to cover her and Xuechun, and told them not to move.
I saw Liu Maolin walking to the place where she and Xuechun found the shadow just now, taking out a whistle from the lapel of his clothes and putting it to his mouth. As the whistle sounded, a huge black eagle flew up from the cracks in the rocks, its wings spread enough to hold a person.
How long, waving his sharp claws to grab Liu Maolin.
Liu Maolin leaned up and escaped the black eagle's attack. Here, Yuwen Haoxuan's arrow was already on the string and aimed at the black eagle's heart. The black eagle missed and quickly pounced on Yuwen Haoxuan, who was standing with the bow, and Yuwen Haoxuan
Xuan Que stood still as if he was confident. He didn't let go of the tight bow string until the moment when the black eagle was about to pounce. The black eagle that came down with all its strength was bounced ten feet away.
The black eagle landed on the ground and struggled for a few times before becoming motionless. Xi Qian opened the branches on his body and walked to the black eagle with Yuwen Haoxuan. The arrow was so powerful that it had penetrated the body of the sculpture. The black eagle was still round after death.
His eyes were open, seemingly unwilling.
"What a big bird!" Xue Chun tentatively touched the feathers of the black eagle and couldn't help sighing.
Liu Maolin snorted coldly from the side and said, "They really spent a lot of money. Even the Eagle King used it. This is a male. It seems that the female has gone back to report the news."
"The loss of two Eagle Kings at once is enough to make them restrain themselves for a while. We can't stay here any longer. We have to hurry up."
"Two? Isn't there only one dead?" Xiqian looked at Yuwen Haoxuan doubtfully, thinking that he didn't even know how to count.
Yu Wen Hao
I won’t live alone.”
After listening to his explanation, Xiqian looked at the dead male eagle, and the scene of the female eagle dying for love emerged in her mind, and she felt sad. She had only known that birds were long-lasting animals, but she didn't know that they could be so strong-willed.
"Don't sympathize with the enemy, it will only make you die faster!" Yuwen Haoxuan said coldly and jumped on his horse. Xi Qian looked at him with disapproval, but she also knew that he was right.
