Give you a night pearl

Chapter 16

"My lord, I'm going to Devil City to watch the sunset, and I won't be able to make it back to our palace at night." Steward Zhou persuaded earnestly: "It's far away from our town. Two hours. As you know, we have a lot of wolves at night..."

The free and easy Prince Jing didn't care at all, stretched out his hand along the mane of Wuyun Treading Snow, and hung the dry food bag and the sundry bag on the side of the saddle: "Mr. Shi, come with me, we will go to the nearest Overnight in Oron County, come back in the morning."

Housekeeper Zhou was given a headache by his wayward prince, so he had no choice but to turn around and tell the well-behaved and talkative Doctor Shi: "Mr. Shi," the locals respect doctors and call them Mr. I don’t care to run back. It’s no joke to encounter wolves. It’s not that I don’t trust our prince’s martial arts, but the sand wolves in this desert are the most cunning and vicious..."

"Butler Zhou, don't worry." Shi Yun listened patiently to the nagging, and nodded in earnest agreement: "I will definitely take good care of the prince and prevent him from traveling at night."

The two got on their horses and quickly ran out of the town. A certain bold general immediately reached out and hugged the slender waist of the young man in front of him, salivating and leaning towards his ear to steal the fragrance: "Shi Yun, why are you so fragrant?"

Shi Yun's increasingly shameless behavior towards this person was also indifferent: "Is there only one dark cloud riding on the snow among the poor in Prince Jing's mansion? Let others see this, so you can't laugh at the majestic Prince Jing."

"A joke is a joke." Xiao Yu tightened his arms, and carefully helped the young man tug at the skirt of his clothes: "Anyway, I have always been a poor soldier."

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to think of Ye Mingzhu's promise.Shi Yun laughed at him: "I heard that the price of Ye Mingzhu in the capital has increased again, Lord Jing, when will your salary be enough to buy me Ye Mingzhu?"

This time it can be regarded as accurately poking at Prince Jing's weakness.

The man laughed bitterly, his voice lowered an octave without confidence: "Isn't it, building a barracks... Shi Yun, please let me save..."

Shi Yun couldn't help laughing out loud anymore, and the crisp laughter spread far away in the empty salt-alkali flat.

Xiao Yu who was ridiculed was not angry, and laughed together: "I'm serious, Shi Yun, you have suffered with me."

"Then what should we do? We're all on board the pirate ship." The young man turned around with red lips and white teeth, with a shrewd expression on his face, and he was very agile: "Is there still time to get off the ship?"

"It's too late." Xiao Xie looked at her heart-wrenchingly, and followed the guidance of his heart and kissed her directly.

The rough northwestern wind blew the hair, and it danced mischievously between the eyelids, nose bridge and lips of the two, as beautiful as a picture scroll.

We set off at noon, and the sun had not yet set when we arrived at Devil City.

The two ate some dry food, and wandered in the deserted desert holding hands.

The wind-eroded Devil City is scattered high and low, which is created by nature's uncanny workmanship.

Looking at it from a distance, it doesn't feel like much, just like a deserted and abandoned old city on the edge of the desert. After years and the invasion of yellow sand, it gradually decays and becomes lifeless.

Only when you get closer, stand in front of you and look up, you will understand that the shock of nature hits you head-to-head, overwhelming people, leaving only a sense of awe.

"There is a legend that the Devil City is the capital of the ancient country of Dayan in the Western Regions, and countless gold, silver and jewels are buried underground." Xiao Xie took the horse with one hand and Shi Yun with the other, and the unscrupulous cross wind slammed into the east and west. The hair on the temples of the two of them was brushed, and the clothes of the blowing were rattling.

"In the early years, there were always thieves who came to dig treasures, and a batch of them died. The Devil City gradually became a place that makes people talk about it. In fact, it is nonsense. This place is a naturally formed dead place. The climate is harsh and volatile, which blind country would build its capital in such a place?"

Talking against the wind always feels full of wind.Shi Yun turned his body slightly, and turned up the volume to avoid being overwhelmed by the strong wind whistle: "Maybe there is really a treasure. Ye Mingzhu hehe."

"Then I'll dig it for you." Xiao Yu grinned, the sculptural and stern lines on his face were instantly destroyed, and he looked like an innocent youth who didn't know much about the world.

"Forget it." Shi Yun also laughed, feeling that he was infected by him, like a fool: "It's said that treasure thieves will come and die, and we won't commit that kind of greed."

The two of them didn't go deep into Devil City, they just wandered around the entrance of the city, looking at the scenery and relaxing.

"Look there. Does it look like a camel? That's the head, with a hump behind it. It looks like it is screaming towards the sky with its neck up." Xiao Xi pointed to a sand peak in front of the left.

Shi Yun narrowed his eyes and looked seriously: "It really looks a bit like a dromedary..."

In the evening, the two sat side by side on the sand.The setting sun in the distance is like blood, falling low between the horizon and the yellow sand.Blazing white, light yellow, ochre, red... The halo splashes out from the center of the setting sun in circles, melting into glittering gold in the undulating desert.After watching for a long time, the spots of light have branded the fundus of the eyes, dotted with stars, and the afterimages are still as real as when the eyes are closed.

It is completely different from the warm and soft feeling of Jiangnan.There is a dash of solemnity in the staunchness, and the thick and heavy colors paint a carefree ending between the world and the earth.

The shock was too much, almost aphasia.

As the sun sets in the west, a layer of fine gravel is rolled up against the ground by the increasingly fierce and strong wind, and the horizon becomes unclear, as if a shadowy mirage has been created out of thin air.

After the sunset, Xiao Xi didn't dare to stay here for too long, so even though Shi Yun looked at him in a bewildered manner with a look of reluctance on his face, the man got up first, followed by his sweetheart: "Let's go, take advantage of the last twilight , rushed to Oron County."

The man quickly added: "The place where we made love."

The feeling of reluctance and regret was finally destroyed by this funny sentence.Shi Yun turned around after him, and walked on the post road outside Devil City with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"The first time I saw you, I couldn't even figure out who you were, so I made love to a big-headed ghost."

"Isn't this a self-made arrangement?" Xiao Xi said cheekily nonsense: "When I heard you mention the military doctor, I knew it must be my military doctor."

Shi Yun rolled his eyes contemptuously, and corrected him: "I'm the military doctor of the Xiao family army, my lord, are you frozen stupid?"

"Well, it's really cold when the sun is setting in the west." Xiao Yu acted like a hooligan, stretching out his hand to wrap him in his arms, not too nasty: "The whole Xiao family army is mine, you are not mine?"

"I think..." Shi Yun swallowed the second half of the sentence.

This guy broke his innocence since that night, and his speech began to become more and more incoherent, glib, as if he had strayed from the post road all the way, almost to the deepest part of the devil city where birds do not lay eggs.

"What?" General Xiao humbly asked for advice before he could wait for the next sentence, "You think my words are reasonable, don't you?"

"I think your skin is getting thicker." Shi Yun slapped him away and ran forward.He couldn't run fast on the soft sand, and within two steps he fell back into the clutches of the clutches, and was hugged by a certain prince who kicked his nose and face and kissed him to death.

............................................................

It couldn't be more coincidental that the two of them went to the inn where Shi Yun lived, and happened to live in the room where they met.

Wuyun ran through the snow for half an hour, and it was already dark when he entered the inn yard.

Xiao Er ran out enthusiastically, nodding all the way in agreement with Xiao Xi's order.

"Okay, don't worry, sir, I'll keep the best fodder for Grandpa Ma..."

He couldn't help laughing, Shi Yun raised his head.

So caught off guard, the sky is brighter than night pearls, and the vast sea of ​​stars hits the eyes, so beautiful that people forget to breathe.

Just now, the imperial horse was galloping along the way, Xiao Yu was afraid that he would be cold, so he covered his face with a cloak and wrapped him in his arms, but he didn't see anything at all.

Right now, I am so unprepared to face the dreamlike night sky, which is so beautiful that it makes my heart tremble.

The vast atmosphere, mysterious and remote.

After being held by Xiao Yu, Shi Yun reluctantly walked into the inn: "The stars in the sky are so beautiful."

"Wait a minute," Xiao Xiao whispered with a smile: "As long as you are not afraid of the cold, I will secretly take you to the roof to watch it late at night."

The business in the store is really sluggish tonight, it seems that there are only two of them investing in the store.

Not wanting to sit in the lobby to eat, Xiao Yan simply asked the waiter in the shop to prepare wine and stewed beef and mutton, and send them to the room to eat.

The conditions in the northwest frontier town were simple, but fortunately, the room was clean and tidy.

"What a coincidence," Shi Yun marveled, "You actually lived in this room. You hid there that time." The young man childishly raised his finger and pointed to the dark place above his head where the oil lamp couldn't reach: "In the dark Towel looks like a gangster."

"Aren't you afraid?" Xiao Yu was also a little curious: "It is said that you have no strength to restrain a chicken, why didn't you open the door and call for help when you were threatened by the last one who was injured and couldn't distinguish friend from foe?"

"You also said you can't distinguish friend from foe." Shi Yun untied the burden on the chair, intending to get out a towel, and wash his face first when the waiter in the shop brought hot water: "If I really yelled, I might die Yes. By the way, you also lied to me about a towel."

Shi Yun packed the things, because he only stayed for one night, so he didn't plan to bring any extra things.

With the effort of pulling out the towel, a familiar small jar was brought out, Gu Lulu rolled on the chair, and Shi Yun quickly caught it.

When he held it in his hand and saw it clearly, Shi Yun's face flushed instantly, his expression was almost as if he had been struck by lightning: "Hey, where did this come from...why do you bring it?" It was the can of horse oil that he bought !

At that time, he went to buy it because of his courage and enthusiasm. When he returned to the palace and saw Xiao Xie, he immediately gave up.Desperately, he stuffed the small jar into the deepest part of the drawer, thinking that he could procrastinate for a while.

Xiao Xi looked at it and nodded: "I brought it."

Shi Yun stammered, and said at a loss: "You bring this... no, why do you..."

"Yesterday, Steward Zhou bought me some small combs and mirrors for me. I saw this bottle of horse oil when I was putting it away in the drawer. Did you buy it?" Xiao Yu, who didn't know why, was upright and generous: "I've been thinking about you for the past two days The skin is dry, and the wind and sand here are bigger than in the county, so I brought it for you. You can apply some after you wash your face."

Shi Yun almost wanted to bury his head in his trousers.

His purpose of buying this horse oil, which he is ashamed to mention, is not at all, okay?What a disgrace to my wife...

Fortunately, the shop waiter who came to knock on the door became the timely rain to relieve Shi Yun's predicament: "Guest officer, your hot water and food are here!"
