Return the Sword

People with knives and bows and arrows were patrolling around the city wall. In the twilight, Xue Zhao touched his butt that was about to be smashed into eight petals, opened the curtain, and only glanced at the city wall: "Dunhuang City arrive?"

The characteristic immature voice of a young man has been blunted a lot due to the travel and dust along the way. Maybe he hasn't drank water for a long time. His voice is very hoarse. As soon as he spoke, he startled himself.The words were interrogative sentences, but he did not expect the coachman to give him a different answer.In fact, the coachman did give him the answer he wanted. The tall city wall built with high-quality glutinous rice and bricks is unique in the whole of Anxi.

But afterward, even though the carriage ended its jolting, it did not go any further. Although Xue Zhao's butt got a temporary peace, but the carriage had been parked for a long time, he couldn't help but feel strange. It seemed that there was something about time. It all came to a halt at the moment when he asked the question, and suddenly, apart from the whirling wind coming in from outside the curtains, the side noises accompanied by the rumbling of wheels along the way also disappeared together.

After sitting and waiting for a while, Xue Zhao, who had already disturbed the coachman with unnecessary questions, was embarrassed and didn’t want to ask any more. Finally, he couldn’t bear to lift the curtain of the carriage. He wanted to see who could make this world suddenly silent. , but just looked up, the edge of the black and heavy robe outlines the intersecting pattern of silver thread and gold thread, the hem of the dress does not look like a flower, beautiful is really beautiful, and soon let the always boasted Xue Zhao, who loves beauty, fell for it. It has been a long time since he came all the way from the Central Plains to the west, and he has not seen such fine cloth and embroidery work. He couldn't help but let out an admiration. This admiration was silent. The breath leaked out from the seam, the tip of the tongue pressed against the teeth, I didn't want anyone to hear it, but the owner of the clothes not only heard it, but also turned around.

With a gold jade belt, black jade headband, and a toga, the young man on the horse was full of dust all the way, but he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but he was full of nobility. He reined in the horse with one hand, his white fingers and the The sweaty brown reins are in stark contrast, the eyebrows are flying obliquely into the temples, the facial contours are very deep, the skin is as white as snow, and the feminine and delicate face is hazy under the mild sunshine of the first month. It was made of jade, and the collar, which was blown crooked by the wind, was covered with thick mink fur, but it still looked like he wanted to talk.

Among a group of guards in blue clothes, his figure is like a white lotus emerging from the water, absolutely surviving in the world.

Xue Zhao heard a sudden sound of inhalation around him, who was doing it? In fact, Xue Zhao, who was right in front of him, had the most right to speak, but the current Xue Zhao couldn't say more about it. He thought he was a flirtatious young man from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but at this moment, he was already looking at him with very unfriendly glaring eyes.

Those red phoenix eyes seemed to burst out with fire, but Xue Zhao didn't know why.The two guards looked at the young man's face, quickly left and right, and the two scabbards exchanged blows, blocking Xue Zhao's gaze.Afterwards, the boy seemed to confirm Xue Zhao's expression before turning his head again.

The reason why the road was blocked was because there were a lot of young people and a lot of luggage, and the luggage of the young people and his group were checked by the city guards and they were declared passable, so Xue Zhao's carriage slowed down. Moved slowly.

But even though the figure has already gone away, the charm/charm remains in my heart, how can it be easily erased.But compared to physical fatigue, it was nothing more than that.

After delaying at the gate of the city for a while, and busy with the room to stay in the inn, Xue Zhao, who felt that he was going to be exhausted and paralyzed, closed the door after the waiter brought the boiled water into the room. The screen at the base is ready to take a bath. His body is greasy with sweat and covered with wind dust. If he does not take a bath in time, it will be too uncomfortable. In addition to the outer shirt and inner shirt, a middle coat has also been taken off , looking up along Xue Zhao's firm belly, one can vaguely see that the two things on the chest that are originally feminine are bound quite flat by a few pieces of cloth silk.

It turned out to be a woman.

In the eyes of outsiders, the sallow-faced Xue Zhaozi is the kind of person that no one will recognize even if she is hidden in the crowd, but when she untied her chest and rubbed her fingers at the joint between her ears, there was no sound Lift off the human/skin/mask on the surface, and then wash off the remaining adhesive oil on the surface with water, the human face displayed in the bronze mirror on the dressing table is also a small cherry mouth, with a beautiful appearance .Although compared to that boy, he is still two points less colorful, but when he asks himself, he is not an ugly creature.

Xue Zhao took a long bath this time, and she didn't get out of the bath until the water was no longer hot.Not to mention that after entering the territory of Anxi, from the Qilian Mountains, the land was severely desertified, and water is already precious to the herdsmen. During the six-day car journey, except for the necessary washing, she didn't touch any water. But today is different, when she arrives in Dunhuang City, things that can be bought with money are always not a pity for her. As soon as she entered the inn, she gave the boss an ingot of fine quality ten taels of silver. She took good care of her, and the water was of course within the scope of being well taken care of. She twisted her hair so that it would not be too wet, so she fell down on the unfamiliar bunk in the inn, and fell asleep soundly.

I slept until late at night. On the way, I heard that there was a ritual ceremony at the famous Leiyin Temple in Dunhuang City. The ceremony was grand. Xue Zhao didn’t dare to miss it, so he ate something to pad his stomach. Hurry up. Drive out of the inn.She has always liked to indulge in mountains and rivers, but the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is infinite, and somehow she got bored. The 480 temples in the Southern Dynasty were all surrounded by misty rain.No matter how elegant it is, it is not grand enough.So she turned to the west, not to mention the customs and customs of the desert, which made her even more fond of it, and she became addicted to it. Everywhere she went, she always had to go there when she heard people say that the scenery was unique.Shaming Mountain, Shaming Spring, the old place of Yangguan, Mogao Grottoes... Xue Zhao had already seen all the famous places before entering the city, and he didn't know what to do here.Buddhism is prevalent in Dunhuang, maybe compared with the Central Plains, it is also unusually prosperous, so it’s not bad to go and have a look, just with this kind of thinking, Xue Zhao didn’t hesitate to go out.

But after all, she disguised herself as a man and traveled alone, and Xue Zhao's disguise technique was not a steal. Before, the loess flying dust made his face rough. After taking a bath this time, the unique radiant temperament of a woman, but all With a little discernment, you can always tell that she is a girl. It’s just that most of the people are away from home, and they always have nothing to do with themselves. Except for a few people who look at Xue Zhao a lot, it’s nothing, of course. It is also due to the openness of the people in Daxia today, the ancient rituals of the saints are not very restrictive for men and women.

After watching the Master's rites, Xue Zhao stopped and walked in the temples near Leiyin Temple. Although there were many people, there were no more differences compared with the Central Plains. I am not disappointed. That was false, so, not long after, most of the enthusiasm for coming here faded, and she turned around and went back to the inn.

The so-called "come in good spirits and return in bad spirits", what a gentleman does is only indulgence.

As soon as he got out of the temple, Xue Zhao felt a few little tails behind his buttocks, how many people?three people.How about martial arts?The footsteps are vain.Is it rich or expensive?They're all drunks.

After making up his mind, Xue Zhaozhuan took the crowded road.This city of Dunhuang connects the Western Regions and the imperial court. It is considered a gateway, and its reputation is not in vain. There are many shops with black hair and black eyes, but most of them are from the Western Regions with blue eyes and high noses. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and they all sell tea. , spices, jade, porcelain and even silk, things that are expensive in Chang'an are still at that price here, but seeing the variety of goods in the shops, those who don't know the goods will think it is ordinary. , on the platform erected on the second floor, there are many women in soft red tulle in the posture of flying into the sky, it is the Hu Xuanwu of the Western Regions... The night is overwhelming, Xue Zhao can't take it all in, he pauses left and right, So I went to a nearby shop to try out the latest hairpin ornaments or look at the fans that everyone mentioned. It is always strange for a man to look at these things, but since this person is a woman, which one of the shops does not follow the rules? Do, Xue Zhao is very happy shopping, so the speed of his feet is even slower.

It is said that the three following people were hiding under the banner of the restaurant, discussing something.

"Brother, um, did she find us? Otherwise, I should have returned to the inn by now. By now, the sky is almost white, and there will be no free time along the way. How do I start?"

"You have to be patient when you do this kind of thing. What are you afraid of? As long as she is a little girl, she will have to go back sooner or later. If it doesn't work, it is feasible to start at the inn."

"I'm afraid she's playing tricks on us on purpose."

"Fucking? She doesn't know anyone in this Dunhuang city. If she offends our brothers, she won't be able to survive." The leader has a very vicious appearance, with a few bruises on his face and the brand of tongs on his arm. With tattoos, he also seems to be a practitioner, and his mind is quite good.As long as there is someone I know in Dunhuang City, which one is not the first time to meet, this little girl is visiting temples when she comes, and she is alone, then she is really alone.The drunk chief who had been planning on Xue Zhao's move since he checked into the inn had a very good idea.

Of course, Xue Zhao thought better.She visited a lot of shops, and the money bag was quite heavy in her hand. It took a lot of time to find the change for a piece of silver.

The author has something to say:
