Thousand Miles of Bright Moonlight

Chapter 67: Doubt

The Yasha mask was ferocious and vicious, with round eyes, and in the dim light, it became more vicious, like a life-demanding ghost crawling out of the ground.

Waking up in the middle of the night, I suddenly found such a man standing in front of the window.

Yaoying was still calm, she only dropped a pottery bowl without shouting.

Because the moment she saw the mask of Yasha, she guessed that most of the people in front of the window were Sultan Gu.

This is not the first time.

...

On the way to Gaochang, when staying overnight at the Inn, the ancient houses of Sultan were very close to Yaoying's.

He closed the door without making a sound. She hardly noticed his existence until one time when she accidentally knocked down the stove in the house when she got up at night, it made a loud noise. After a while, Xie Qing rushed over, and the two of them cleaned up together. After the mess in the room, she opened the door to let her taste go, glanced at the corridor inadvertently, and saw a tall figure flashing by in the corner.

Yaoying remained calm.

On the next journey, she paid attention to Sultan Gu.

Sometimes they had to sleep in the wasteland. She lay down next to the fire and clothed herself. Sultan Gu was alone away from the crowd. When she woke up in a daze, she found that he was not resting in the distance and was always on guard.

For several nights, Yaoying was awakened from the cold, not wanting to wake Xie Qing, her arms trembling, listening to the squally wind, thinking that she was far away from the Central Plains, she didn’t know what happened to Brother, her heart was unavoidably sad, and her eyes fell on the ancient Sultan. On the figure sitting alone, his mind gradually calmed down.

The galaxy is vast, the four wilds are desolate, the snowy peaks are magnificent, the valleys are deep, and the world is vast. This man sat there alone, like a towering mountain.

He carried all the hardships on his shoulders, and with him, all of them could return to the royal court safely.

Yaoying felt this kind of extremely stable and practical feeling in another person.

When the snow-white gold-patterned flag was hunting and flying in the wind, when Tamaraga was riding a white horse and leading the Wanjun to appear in the drifting sand in the sky all over the Gobi.

So Yaoying is not afraid of Sultan Gu.

Although Tamaraga was cold, but still gentle.

The ancient Sudan is fierce and evil, but there is a kind of majestic compassion between the moves, but the compassion is too strong, and the cold edge conceals the compassion.

...

Today they stayed in the post, Sultan Gu lives next door to Yaoying.

Yaoying had a nightmare just now, maybe she called out. Sultan Gu heard the noise and thought something was wrong with her, so she rushed over to check the situation.

This shows that he has been awake tonight.

Yaoying guessed that the figure was Sultan Gu, so she calmed down quickly, but she didn't expect that he would go and come back. She got up and tried to scare him, but instead he was caught upright and smiled sly.

Sultan Gu looked at her silently, without a word of explanation.

Yaoying was not frightened by his cold and indifferent eyes, she leaned forward half of her body, her head covered in black hair, her eyebrows curled, her eyes were like stars, and she whispered: "General Su, the mage asked you to **** us to Gaochang. ,Because of me?"

Sultan Gu's figure remained motionless.

Yaoying looked directly at his blue eyes, and continued by herself: "General Ashina was supposed to accompany me to go to Gaochang, but unfortunately he was injured. Is the mage worried that Haidu Aling will suddenly appear?"

Bi Suo failed to make Haidu Aling self-defeating, and he was injured again, and Tamara Gah had surrendered the failed Sultan Gu to replace Bi Suo's mission again. It should be to guard Haidu Aling. Haidu Aling is a high-powered martial artist, and these guards are not his opponents.

Yaoying thought of a possibility: The main purpose of the goshawk of Tamaragarh following them was not to pass on the news according to predestined consciousness, but to find the white falcon in Haidu Aling.

Tamaragarh has already announced to the world, Haidu Aling dare not attack her now, but they cannot reveal their identity during this trip. If Haidu Aling learns about their itinerary, will he take the opportunity to take advantage of her?

Jin Bo, the little prince of Beirong, suddenly appeared in Gaochang, and Haidu Aling might be nearby.

So Sultan Gu did not dare to take it lightly.

Yaoying stared at Sultan Gu without blinking, and asked: "General Su, is Haidu Aling coming? The general is afraid to scare me, so he is hiding it from me?"

Sultan Gu's deep blue eyes finally reacted, and a look of surprise passed by.

Yaoying sighed and said, "The general just tells me the truth. I'm not afraid of the general being there."

She leaned in front of the window, her shoulders covered with thick blue silk, her temples were jet-black, her skin became more and more white, and her eyes were clear.

The little prince who had been noisy all day stopped, and there was a watery silence in the post house. Their house is in the innermost part, and the soldiers outside are asleep, quietly, and the needles can be heard.

Sultan Gu was silent for a while, and his hoarse voice sounded: "Jin Bo has come to Gaochang, and Haidu Aling may also appear, but I haven't found his trace for the time being."

Yaoying smiled: "The general is tired this way."

Sure enough, he had been protecting her secretly.

Sultan Gu looked away, and said, "Princess set it up."

After finishing speaking, before Yaoying could speak, her hand in black leather gloves gently closed the window.

Only grey window lattices were left in front of her.

Yaoying shook her head and laughed, and opened the window again.

"General Su." She called him softly, "I want to ask the general about one thing."

Sultan Gu looked down at her.

Yaoying smiled and asked, "General Su had been to Gaochang and wanted to get to know the various markets in Gaochang. Tomorrow, I will take Lao Qi and them to sell the goods they brought. Does the general know which merchant is the most fair?"

Sultan Gu did not hesitate, and said indifferently: "There is only one market in Gaochang where there is a gathering of Husbands. Tomorrow Yuanjue will be the guide for the princess."

Yaoying nodded, her eyes staying on the scary mask on his face for a long time.

Judging from his reaction, he seems to have really been to Gaochang...

Sultan Gu closed the window again.

The corners of Yaoying's mouth twitched lightly.

There was a rustling noise from the front door. Xie Qing pushed the door and walked into the room, looking alert, frowning when she saw Yaoying standing in front of the window. She was running around these days, Yaoying was afraid that she would be tired, so she was not allowed to watch the night tonight. She was sleeping next door, and there seemed to be talking here, afraid that Yaoying would have an accident, so she came over in the dark to check.

"A Qing, I'm fine, get up and drink."

Yaoying sent Xie Qing away, yawned, lay down and went to sleep.

She had no nightmares this night, even though she knew that Haidu Aling might be nearby.

The next day, Yaoying got up early and went to stroll around Gaochang's busiest market, accompanied by soldiers and Yuanjue.

The little prince Jinbo was still asleep, and Yuan felt that a few people were left to inquire about his purpose of coming to Gaochang, and the others split up to find out the news.

When Yaoying passed through the ancient room of the Sudan, she listened carefully for a moment, but did not hear any sound. She thought: There are scars on his face and he must wear a mask to cover it. It is too eye-catching and inconvenient to move during the day, and he didn’t hear anything last night. Knowing when to guard, he must be resting now.

She told the soldiers who stayed behind to stop arguing with Sultan Gu, and everyone agreed.

Yuanjue's eyes flickered twice when she heard Yaoying's order to go to the soldiers.

Yaoying glanced at him, and he immediately retracted his gaze, looking as if nothing had happened.

Several people walked out of the post through the side door, and Qi Nian and others followed far behind with the cart.

The only market in Gaochang is a long street that only accommodates two carriages running side by side. It is much smaller than Wangting, but it is densely populated and very lively. The shops are crowded with people, and the shouts of various languages ​​are mixed. In one place, resounded through the sky.

Yuanjue introduced Yaoying about the things sold in each store along the way. Yaoying listened carefully, and occasionally asked about rare things she hadn't seen before, and Yuanjue patiently explained to her.

There was a small restaurant selling sesame cakes by the roadside, and a few people stopped and waited for the next batch of sesame cakes to be made.

Yaoying suddenly asked: "The regent is like you, is he a disciple of the lay family?"

Yuanjue stayed for a while.

Yaoying looked at him with a smile: "The Regent never eats with other people. You send his food. I think the Regent seems to be fasting."

She has been observing for many days.

Yuanjue's expression was stiff, and he was calm, and replied with a smile: "The guards around the king are either monks or lay disciples, and the same is true for the regent."

Yaoying asked, "Is the regent a monk or a lay disciple?"

Yuanjue said: "I am a disciple of the lay family."

Yaoying continued to ask: "The regent is strong in martial arts, who did he learn his martial arts? General Ashina said that they are brothers, and their master is the same person? How does the regent’s moves match those of General Ashina? No? They don’t learn the same kung fu? When did the regent start learning martial arts?"

Fate felt a little sweaty on his forehead, saying: "The master of the regent is an expert. I heard that he once served as the guard leader in the palace. We have never seen it. Although General Ashina and the regent are brothers, they have learned The techniques are different, so the moves are very different. General Ashina has practiced martial arts since childhood, and the regent has also practiced martial arts since childhood..."

The sesame biscuits came out from the oven, the sesame fragrance overflowed, and the pie seller shouted loudly.

Yuan Jue couldn't help solving Yaoying's confusion, and rushed up with the other Huren, for fear that she would not be able to grab the cake.

Yaoying looked at his back, thoughtfully.

Qi Nian drove the cart, first went to the city office to pay the tax money, and then went to the city hall to trade with merchants.

Yaoying didn’t care about selling goods. She took her soldiers to walk around. She deliberately stayed for a long time in front of the shop selling silk, satin, jewellery and jade, asking about the favorite patterns of Gaochang ladies and what makeup looks popular in the palace. , Yuchi Dharma and Turkic Princess live in harmony.

Before sunset, she and Yuanjue went back to the post.

The soldiers told her that although the little prince Jin Bo was domineering, he did not sway into the palace, but hid his identity like them. He didn't go out all day today and only called some singers and Hu Nu to drink and have fun.

"That's weird, he is pampered, why not live in the palace?"

Gao Chang is now admiring Beirong. As long as Jin Bo reveals his identity, Yuchi Dharma must respect him, and he and the Turkic princess in the palace are cousins.

Yuanjue whispered: "The little prince must have an ulterior motive!"

Yaoying's heart moved, and she knocked on the door of the ancient Sultan's room.

"General Su, it's me."

Footsteps soon sounded in the room, Sultan Gula opened the door, his eyes fell on Yaoying's face, and she was taken aback.

Yaoying stood in front of him, dressed in a masquerade attire, a tan shirt, and a garnet red dress. Her braided hair studded with pearls and jade hung over her shoulders. She pinched a mask in her hand to block her small face.

A benevolent old man's mask, half blue and red, like two faces.

Sudan Gu did not speak for a long time.

Yaoying took off the mask, smiled on her cheeks, went straight into the room under his arm, and asked in a low voice, "General Su, can you bring a message to the mage for me?"

Sultan Gu did not drive her out, and asked indifferently: "What message?"

The lower Yaoying's voice was suppressed: "Jin Bo has come to Gaochang, and Haidu Aling has also come. Bei Rong is afraid that there will be chaos. They are here to find Yuchi Dharma for the same purpose as ours."

The Sudan's ancient figure moved, and after a while, he said: "We will go to the palace and Buddhist temple to see Yuchi Dharma tonight."

Yaoying nodded, raised her eyes, and stared at the mask on the ancient face of Sudan.

He reacted so quickly and determined so decisively... After Tamaraga passed away, why did he disappear for no reason?

Sorry, there will be fewer updates in these two days. Last night, I suddenly felt sore in my throat and drank some Isatis root. Although I felt that I was guilty of pharyngitis, the people in Hubei were really scared, especially the hospital a few days ago. Hold my thermos tightly, I'm going to drink hot water madly.
