Fairy, Please Let Me Explain - #607 - Chapter 575 Life and Death

There was silence for a moment after the words were spoken, and the wind and sand blew through their hair.

Mu Xingyi looked at the surprise on Xu Yuan’s face and said calmly while drinking:

“Looking at Brother Zhou’s expression, I think he really doesn’t know anything about this.”

Xu Yuan realized that he was losing his composure, so he tightened his expression and said:

“Zhou has been traveling away from home for several years. Everything he sees and hears is about the local customs. There are few channels for obtaining such information.”

“.”

Mu Xingyi stared at Xu Yuan for a few breaths, then nodded slightly, his expression still showing the same weak smile that remained unchanged forever:

“Well, that’s the truth. Although you can see thousands of interesting stories in Yunyou, most of them are trivial in the market. Very few people hear about such important military and national events.”

The Dayan Dynasty had extremely strict public opinion control over war news. If the court was preparing to fight a war, if there was no direct connection, not to mention the common people, even some state and county officials would only know the exact information after the war officially started. news.

Speaking of this, Mu Xingyi paused and said softly:

“But hasn’t Brother Zhou ever used the communication crystal station to communicate with his family?”

Xu Yuan stared into the other person’s eyes and asked with a smile:

“Xingyi, do you know anything about the war in the north?”

“.”

After looking at each other for a moment, Mu Xingyi lowered his eyes slightly after understanding.

The Fourteen States of Dayan are so big that few forces can spread throughout the world.

Although it cannot be said that the forces in the Western Desert know nothing about the war in the northern border, most of them are only limited to the surface.

The reverse is also true.

Mu Xingyi bowed his hands politely, and after taking a drink as a punishment, he said:

“Oh, I am a little self-righteous.”

Seeing this, Xu Yuan also tightened his expression slightly and asked:

“So Xingyi, can you elaborate on this matter?”

“I can’t go into details.”

Mu Xingyi put down his cup and shook his head under Xu Yuanlue’s interested gaze: “Brother Zhou, what I just said is all I know.”

“.” Xu Yuan’s eyes narrowed unconsciously.

Although he saw Xu Yuan’s subtle expression, Mu Xingyi just drank and said nothing.

The silence lasted for several breaths along with the yellow sand blown by the night wind. Xu Yuancai chuckled and shook his head:

“Wherever there is transgression, there is still hope for the upliftment of righteousness.”

“I didn’t lie to you.”

Mu Xingyi spoke very softly, and his delicate face contained no emotion. He stared at Xu Yuan, his dark eyes without any highlights as always:

“If Brother Zhou is really interested, I can introduce you to an intermediary in Zhenxi Mansion. He has a lot of information dealer resources.”

Xu Yuan drank a cup by himself and shook his head:

“That’s not necessary. No matter how the war in the Western Desert develops, it will not have much to do with my family. Zhou came here just to appreciate the scenery of Qianji Gorge.”

Mu Xingyi returned the gift with a glass of wine, looked sideways at the other side of the abyss and valley at his feet, and murmured thoughtfully:

“Qianjixia Gorge. It doesn’t seem to be peaceful here lately.”

“How do you say it?” Xu Yuan asked subconsciously.

“Well, there are probably two reasons.”

Mu Xingyi spoke slowly and gestured lightly on the desk with his fingertips:

“One of them is naturally the war in the Western Desert mentioned just now. The deepest part of Qianji Gorge can reach tens of thousands of feet, and the terrain is complicated. The Tatar and Chao people often use the terrain to hide their troops.”

“The second thing is that a demon dragon should have died in Qianji Gorge.”

“.”

Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes widened slightly, and a strange feeling emerged in his heart unconsciously. He asked with a deliberately hesitant tone:

“Demon dragon? Brother Mu, can you tell me about this?”

“Just some rumors.”

Mu Xingyi was sick and drank Xu Yuan’s good wine, and said in a calm voice: “Decades ago, a transformed demon dragon came to the territory of Dayan. It was seriously injured by a strong man in Dayan and its whereabouts are unknown. I My grandpa participated in that siege. When I was still young, he talked to me about it and said that he suspected that the demon dragon died in Qianji Gorge. “

Xu Yuan’s eyes flashed, he reached out to pick up the exquisite wine jug, filled it up for the other party, and said softly:

“You mean, there is a demon dragon hidden in Qianji Gorge?”

“Brother Zhou, do you think that if there is really a demonic dragon hidden in Qianji Gorge, our Mu Chamber of Commerce will just sit back and ignore it?”

“.”Xu Yuan.

“Brother Zhou, don’t worry. I didn’t say this just to tease you.”

Mu Xingyi’s voice was gentle and unhurried: “I did think this was false news at first, but this false news seems to have become true recently.”

“Why?”

“I heard that someone saw a living demon dragon appearing in Qianji Gorge some time ago. The two pieces of information are connected, and the conclusion is self-evident.”

“You mean, there is a demon dragon coming over from the ancient abyss to look for the remains of the clan members?”

“.”

Mu Xingyi did not answer immediately. He exhaled softly and gave an ambiguous answer:

“It may be, or it may not be, because the source of the demonic dragon’s appearance has not been confirmed, but if Brother Zhou wants to travel to Qianji Gorge, it is best to be cautious.”

“.”

Looking at the sick and indifferent young man in front of him, Xu Yuan’s mood gradually became complicated.

To be honest, it was a habit to save the other party’s caravan, and I also found his character interesting when making friends with him.

Mu Xingyi knew about the war in the Western Desert, and even Li Junwu’s affair with the Desert Goddess could be explained by his family, but the affairs of the little demon dragon and the little dragon girl could not be explained by family affairs.

Taking a deep breath, Xu Yuan bowed his hands and said:

“Thank you Xingyi for reminding me.”

Mu Xingyi smiled and shook his head, lowered his eyes, stared at the wine in the glass in front of him, and half-squinted:

“Brother Zhou saved my life. This information is of no use to me. It would be great if it could help you.”

“.”

Can’t see through.

This Mu Xingyi seems to be very simple.

Whether it was the expression on his face that remained unchanged despite being attacked by wolves, or his sickly body and indifferent temperament, they all told Xu Yuan that there must be a big secret behind the person in front of him.

I can accidentally save this person,

Or, it’s because my eyebrow pencil properties are acting up.

Or, it’s Dabing Tuozi doing it.

The next morning,

As the curfew was lifted, the huge Zhenxi Mansion gradually changed from silence to noisy.

As a former natural pass, Zhenxi Mansion originally had few civilian facilities.

However, the front moved westward, and the Zhenxi Army established the Monan Capital Mansion on the west side of Qianji Gorge. After the Zhenxi Mansion became the rear area, with the years of business travel, the place gradually became somewhat prosperous like a state capital in the hinterland of Great Yan.

A place of water and soil can support a person.

Maybe it was influenced by the culture of the Western Regions, or maybe the customs of the residents here are like this.

Compared with the complicated Confucian robes and tunics in Dayan, the residents here are very open-minded, and many people walk on the streets topless.

Of course, these are men.

Women will still wear a tube top to cover their upper body, but most of them are nothing more than that.

The exposed lower abdomen, slender waist, slender and toned thighs, and the bronzed and healthy skin are dizzying at first glance.

The huge caravan engraved with the logo of the Mu Chamber of Commerce swaggered through the city, attracting the attention of residents on both sides.

Ran Qingmo and Bai Muxi were practicing in the carriage, while Xu Yuanze and Mu Xingyi rode at the front of the caravan.

Seeing the buildings with a bit of Western style on both sides receding, Xu Yuan was enjoying the scenery along the way while chatting with Mu Xingyi.

The conversation last night was fruitful. Xu Yuan learned a lot of secrets about the Western Desert from Mu Xingyi.

But in contrast, Mu Xingyi never asked Xu Yuan a single question.

This made Xu Yuan very wary, but he could not detect any hostility from this person even after nearly testing.

Mu Xingyi seemed to really have no bad intentions.

Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed to have gotten so much information out of hand.

So as compensation, last night he took out a bottle of wine worth ten thousand taels of silver, preparing to give this kid a little financial shock.

But it’s a pity that Mu Xingyi still has that deadly smile on his face, which has not changed at all.

Just like now.

Xu Yuan glanced at the young man beside him.

But just in time to meet Fang Qi’s gaze, Mu Xingyi nodded, looked at Xizhimen, which was getting closer and closer, and smiled calmly:

“After passing the city gate, are you ready to enter Qianji Gorge immediately?”

After gathering his thoughts, Xu Yuan looked around the street and said with a smile:

“Since you are traveling around the world, you will naturally have to wander around in this new land. After I send you out of the city, I will spend two days in the west town of this town.”

As a local leader, Mu Xingyi thought for a moment and asked softly:

“Zhenxi Mansion? There are several good scenic spots in the city, but it’s a pity that I have important things to do and I can’t spend more time with you. May I introduce some friends to Brother Zhou to lead the way?”

Xu Yuan thought for a while, shook his head and said:

“Thank you Xingyi for your kindness, but I prefer to discover interesting things by myself, rather than follow other people’s travel guides.”

“Hehe, Brother Zhou is an interesting person.”

Mu Xingyi smiled slightly, looked at the towering doorway that was gradually approaching, and said:

“Zhenxi Mansion is still an important pass town after all. The procedures for entering and exiting the city are quite cumbersome, so just send it here.”

Saying,

Stopping the demon horse on his crotch, Mu Xingyi turned half around, bowed his hands with both hands, and bowed seriously to Xu Yuan:

“Brother Zhou, if we say goodbye here, I’m afraid we won’t see each other again. Take care!”

Xu Yuan pulled the reins, but he was not in a hurry to return the gift. Instead, he bent his eyes and said jokingly:

“It’s so hard to meet again? Why do you feel like Xingyi, you are cursing me that something will happen to me in Qianji Gorge?”

Mu Xingyi slowly straightened up, shook his head and said:

“Brother Zhou has his own destiny, so nothing will happen to him.”

Xu Yuan got off his horse, bowed solemnly, and said with a smile:

“With your good words, when I come back from Qianji Gorge and I have some free time, I will go to the Mu family’s ancestral courtyard to meet you again.”

“.”

Mu Xingyi smiled softly when he heard this, but did not reply. He nodded and prepared to mount his horse and leave.

Standing there, looking at the young man in brocade robes who was riding the Gundam Demon Horse towards the door, Xu Yuan gradually frowned and suddenly realized something, and suddenly sent a message to the other party:

“Are you in trouble?”

“.”

The young man in brocade robe holding the horse continued to move forward without any stagnation, as if he had not heard his message.

Xu Yuan frowned even more tightly and continued to transmit:

“Xingyi, if someone wants to harm you, I can escort you to the Monan Metropolitan Government.”

While talking,

Xu Yuan walked towards the door, but as soon as he took a step forward, he saw the young man who had disappeared into the shadow of the door raising his hand and waving behind him.

immediately,

Mu Xingyi’s usual calm voice came slowly:

“all the same.

“Brother Zhou,

“We are born to die, sooner or later, I don’t care.”

“Xu Yuan.”

Ran Qingmo looked at Xu Yuan who had been silent since returning to the carriage, silently dispersed the exercises, and asked in a low voice:

“What’s wrong with you?”

His thoughts were interrupted, Xu Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the girl in black clothes, with a smile on his lips:

“What’s wrong?”

Ran Qingmo stared at his expression for a few breaths and said softly:

“You seem to be in a bad mood”

Hearing this, Xiao Bai, who was unrolling the book silently, also hurriedly dispersed the exercises and looked at Xu Yuan with slight concern.

Damn it, she didn’t notice anything strange about the young master. Mr. Ran got the better of her.

Being watched by the two women, Xu Yuan thought for a moment and chose to tell the truth:

“A friend I know is dying, so I feel a little complicated.”

Ran Qingmo’s eyes were confused and he didn’t understand.

Bai Muxi thought for a while and asked tentatively:

“The friend the young master calls is Na Mu Xingyi?”

“Um.”

Xu Yuan nodded and sighed: “He gave me a lot of useful information last night, and he didn’t ask for anything in return.”

Bai Muxi’s eyes flashed, and she slowly stood up and sat next to Xu Yuan:

“This person’s complexion is too pale. Judging from his severe Qi deficiency, he should be suffering from a serious hidden disease.”

“Not because of this.”

Xu Yuan shook his head and said leisurely:

“There should be someone in the Mu Chamber of Commerce who wants him dead, but he is not prepared to resist.”

“Death-intended.”

“Yes, I can’t help even if I want to.”

Xu Yuan nodded lightly and lowered his eyes: “I just don’t know why this kid became like this.”

Before he finished speaking, Xu Yuan suddenly felt a cold, tender little hand covering his head.

touch

Looking up, he saw Ran Qingmo standing in front of him, gently stroking his head with his clear eyes.

The carriage was quiet for a moment, and Xu Yuan looked confused.

The girl in black clothes kept moving her hands and asked softly:

“Xu Yuan, are you feeling better now?”

“.”

The corner of Xu Yuan’s lips had just curled up, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bai Muxi quietly raising her hand.

“.” Xu Yuan looked at her hands.

“.” Bai Muxi blinked.

“.” Xu Yuan repeated the action just now.

“.” Xiaobai pursed his lips and silently put down his hand.

With a soft hum, Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to hold Ran Qingmo’s stretched out hand, and pulled her to sit on the other side. He collapsed directly on the soft couch behind him, staring at the slim backs of the two women sitting upright, and said softly:

“Let’s not mention this matter anymore. After I meet with the person in charge of the Black Scale Guard in Zhenxi Mansion and get the news, we will go get the Dragon Transformation Essence.

“But thanks to Mu Xingyi’s intelligence to determine the location, otherwise it would not be impossible for us to spend a year and a half in Qianji Gorge.”

Saying,

Xu Yuan took out a chronograph clock and glanced at the time, and said softly:

“Is it already Chen hour? The Black Scale Guards should be arriving soon.”

Half a quarter of an hour after he finished speaking, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Three long and one short.

The password is correct.

Open the car door,

A middle-aged man with unshaven beard walked slowly into the car against the morning sun.

Zhou Chen glanced at the unfamiliar young master in brocade robes sitting in the middle of the two women.

Looking at each other for a moment, Zhou Chen felt a little unhappy when he saw the weird joking in the other person’s eyes.

Is this the person who came to get information?

How rude.

Frowning, Zhou Chen saw that the other party had no intention of getting up to greet him. He threw the secret letter containing the intelligence on the blanket in the carriage and turned around silently for a few steps. However, he suddenly remembered that Mo was next to the man just now. Yi Qianying looks familiar

Think for a moment,

Zhou Chen’s pupils shrank suddenly.

Grass.

broken.

He quickly turned around and glanced at the secret letter that was still on the ground. Through the open car door, he saw that the young man in brocade robe had already bent down to pick it up.

Xu Yuan gently reached out and dusted the secret letter, and raised his eyebrows at Zhou Chen who was staying outside the car:

“Mr. Zhou, won’t you leave?”

“.” Zhou Chen.
