The north wind blows the ground, and the spring breeze does not flow.

It was nearly three months, and the border was still cold.

The sky was still blue. In the blink of an eye, the face changed when it changed. The cold wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and a dark shadow on the head was dark, as if it could not be dissolved, pressing on everyone's hearts.

Yuchi Jinwu could feel the speed of the convoy's movement slowed down significantly, so he couldn't help but lift the curtain and stretched his neck to look out.

The wind whistled and rolled in with sand. The concubine next to her exclaimed and hurriedly hugged his arm.

"Master Lang, do we still have time to enter the city before dark?"

The charming and gentle voice slightly relieved the anxiety in Yuchi Jinwu's heart. He symbolically patted his concubine's thighs. An elastic touch came from the thin material. You can imagine that it would feel smooth after removing the layer of clothing that was inconvenient, but he now has no intention of flirting with his concubine.

"It should be possible." Yuchi Jinwu frowned and said uncertainly.

He was originally a royal family of the Khotan Kingdom, and this time he was ordered by the King of Khotan to go to the Central Plains to pay tribute.

At this time, the Central Plains had just established itself in the Zhou Dynasty and became the emerging northern dynasty.

Emperor Yang Jian of Sui was ambitious and worked hard to govern, which made the vitality of this new dynasty, just like the rising sun, shining infinitely bright. Even the Chen Dynasty in the south sent envoys to the court to congratulate him.

Although Khotan lived in a corner outside the border and was a small country, he was often harassed by the Turks, which was annoying. When the King of Khotan heard that the Sui Dynasty moved to Xindu this year and had a general amnesty for the world, he quickly took this opportunity to send a delegation headed by Yuchi Jinwu and brought great gifts to Daxing City to meet the Emperor of Sui. One was to improve relations, and the other was to ask the Sui Dynasty to send troops to protect Khotan.

Who knew that the journey was not going smoothly.

After leaving Yutian, the group passed by Qiemo, and the horses in the convoy suddenly fell ill, vomited and had diarrhea, and finally recovered for several days and set off again. When they encountered this bad weather, Yuchi Jinwu felt irritable and anxious, and he wanted to put on his wings and fly to Daxing City immediately.

He couldn't help but glance at the corner of the carriage again.

There were two cages stacked there, which contained Yuchi Jinwu's clothes. Because the carriage was spacious and the cage was not big, Yuchi Jinwu deliberately asked someone to move onto his own carriage without having to move it back.

His frequent actions also made his concubine discover, and the latter smiled sweetly: "Master, is there a great beauty hidden in the cage?"

Yuchi Jinwu's tense mood slightly raised his face because of this joke: "If you are really a beautiful woman, what about you?"

The beautiful concubine said coquettishly: "Then I have to take the initiative to let the virtuous and give in to the princess!"

Yuchi Jinwu laughed and hugged her in his arms. The two of them had a blind date, and they were dating each other. This fuss drove away most of the dark clouds in Yuchi's heart.

"If I tell you, you must not spread the word, at least not to mention it to anyone before we arrive in Daxing City."

The more he spoke harshly, the more curious the beautiful concubine became. She pulled Yuchi Jinwu's sleeve and acted coquettishly, and then she was more worried.

Yuchi Jinwu then said slowly: "There is a tribute in that box of cage."

The beautiful concubine was puzzled: "Aren't the tributes placed in the carriage behind?"

Yuchi Jinwu: "Those are just ordinary objects. Even if gold, silver and jewelry are the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, how could they take them seriously?"

The beautiful concubine became more and more surprised: "What good things do we have in our small country of Khotan that can make the Emperor of Sui also rare? Is it a rare and beautiful jade?"

Yuchi Jinwu pinched the other party's pretty face: "Smartness is indeed related to jade, not

Say this is a gorgeous dividing line--

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line---

It’s not ordinary jade, but Tianchi jade gall."

The beautiful concubine exclaimed: "It is the legendary jade gut that can make people immortal?!"

Before he finished speaking, his mouth was covered by Yuchi. The beautiful concubine reacted in his stern eyes and hurriedly whispered: "I have lost my composure. This treasure is the treasure of the country in Khotan. The king is willing to send it away?"

Yuchi Jinwu had no choice but to say: "What's the point of being reluctant to give up? This time, if the king wants to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty, he must come up with something good to show his sincerity."

Although the jade gall in Tianchi has the word Tianchi, it has nothing to do with Tianchi. It was discovered by a woodcutter in the Kingdom of Khotan when chopping wood in the mountains. The woodcutter accidentally entered the cave and found this piece of jade like the heart of the mountain deep in the cave. Legend has it that it is as clear as morning dew, and there is a ball of ice blue in the middle of the stone heart, like Tianchi surrounded by snow in the mountains, so it is named.

The woodcutter presented it to the previous generation of King Khotan. It is rumored that the mother of King Khotan at that time had a strange disease and could not be cured for a long time. She peeled off a piece of jade gallbladder and ground it into jade chips as medicine. Not only did she recover completely, but her skin was as new as a new person and her face was revitalized. It is said that the queen mother lived until she was in her 90s and did not die a few years ago.

In this way, the name of Tianchi jade gall spread like wildfire. In the eyes of many people, it can not only restore youth, but also cure difficult and complicated diseases, and cut down the tendons and marrow for those who practice martial arts. Naturally, everyone covets such a treasure, but it is a pity that Khotan regards it as a national treasure. No one knows where the King of Khotan has collected it. The Turks are eyeing the small country of Tantan, and it is probably because of the Jade gall.

King Khotan was not a fool, and he still understood the principle of guilt for possessing a treasure. Compared with the destruction of the country and the destruction of the family, a piece of jade gall is of course not that important. It is better to offer it to the Emperor of Sui for protection than to take it away by the Turks.

After hearing this, the beautiful concubine couldn't help but be amazed: "But Master, is it really okay to have such a precious treasure escort with just a few people along the way?"

Yuchi Jinwu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the people outside. They are all the top masters around the king. Almost all of them were sent here this time. The less conspicuous they look, the better."

After thinking about it, he reminded him again: "You know and I know this, and you must not pass it on to a third person again."

The beautiful concubine nodded repeatedly: "If I know the pros and cons, if it is revealed, this trip will inevitably lead to life. Naturally, the fewer people know, the better."

Yuchi Jinwu stroked her black hair and said with satisfaction: "You have followed me for four or five years. I have always known that you are the most sensible. But you don't have to worry too much. When we enter the city, the Emperor of Sui will send someone to escort us to Beijing, and then you will be safe and worry-free."

As the two whispered, the wind was getting heavier and heavier, sand and snow were sandwiched, and the solid carriage was shaking slightly, making an unbearable sound.

Yuchi Jinwu lost interest in talking and pursed his lips tightly and stopped talking.

My beloved concubine tightened his clothes, and she almost shrank in his arms and dared not move.

In the whistling wind, Yuchi Jinwu seemed to hear a wave of horse hooves coming from far to near.

The team that was still moving rapidly in this weather was unlikely to be a caravan that cherished life and loved money, and perhaps the envoy sent by the Emperor of Sui to pick them up.

Yuchi Jinwu was excited and said to her concubine: "I'll go outside and take a look..."

The curtain of the car was lifted, and the guard stuck half his head out from outside and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lang, the wind and sand are too strong, let's go ahead and avoid it for now-"

The incident happened in an instant.

It took only a moment for Yuchi Jinwu to be displeased by the guards to open his eyes wide when he was stunned.

He watched the blood flash, the guard's head flew up, hitting the top of the car,

Say--this is a gorgeous dividing line---

Netizens of the novel please remind: Please pay attention to eye rest when reading for a long time.

Say ----This is a gorgeous dividing line-

It fell heavily, rolled on the white wool felt a few times, and the remaining blood dyed the flawless red, and finally rolled to the feet of Yuchi Jinwu.

The screams of my concubine came from my ears, but at this moment it became so far away. He felt his ears covered with gauze, hazy and indescribable.

A chill came to his face, and he shuddered, and he was already anxiously roaring and urging himself to dodge, but his body, which had been pampered for a long time, could not keep up with the reaction until a biting and severe pain came from his chest.

Yuchi Jinwu's vision was covered with blood red all over the sky.

It turns out that a person is so fast from birth to death.

This was his last thought before he fell down.

...

The heavy snow was enough to cover all the filth in the world.

However, it is only a temporary cover. Once the clouds clear and the snow clears, the filth will be revealed again.

Some people are ugly, but they cannot even cover up the heavy snow.

The dried blood turned black and mixed in the snow, and at first glance it looked like a stone emerging from the snow.

The horses that had been dead for a long time were lying on the ground, the carriage was overturned by the side, and several heads were half buried in the snow. It was already very angry.

The sound of horse hooves goes from far to near.

More than a dozen riders were galloping from the snow, and the ice fog kicked out of the horse's hooves were mixed with snowflakes, emitting hazy smoke.

The leader was wearing a black sable fur coat, covering his head tightly, but the robe was raised and the sound of the robe was lit up.

More than a dozen people behind were wrapped tighter, and even their cuffs were tied tightly. No one was willing to expose their skin to this annoying wind and snow.

They seemed to have foresaw the incident in front of them. Instead of showing surprise and fear, they got off and bent down to observe.

A corpse lying on the snow, with half of its back covered with snow, only a piece of neck that was almost the same color as ice and snow was exposed. A wound extended from the throat to the back of the neck, and the flesh was placed outside, and the bones were visible deep. The neck was cut almost halfway, which showed the force of the murderer.

A hand hidden under the black sable fur coat reached over.

The hand is fair and slender, and the joints wrapped in thin skin are neither buckling nor bloated. It is just right, like a tall and stretched Yuzhu, without any fancy actions, it makes people involuntarily stop their eyes on it. Such a pair of hands cannot be nurtured without the ultimate wealth of the world.

But the owner of his hand did not avoid filth. He grabbed a handful of blood-stained ice and snow and rubbed it for a moment. Then he let it go. The remaining snow fell from his fingers, and it was stuck on the fur in the corner of his clothes and could not linger.

The man looked down and his brows frowned slightly.

The arrester next to him was worried that he would not have the chance to curry favor with the big man who came from the capital. Seeing this, he hurriedly took out a clean veil and smiled forward.

"The villain has a veil here, you-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party take off the whole sable cloak and throw it back!

Under the stunned gaze of the arresting officials, the man's cloak was caught by the young man behind him.

Pei Jingzhe showed a slightly bitter smile: "Mr...."

"Hold it." The man said indifferently.

Without the cover of the cloak, his robe was directly exposed to the wind and snow, with jade crown and white clothes dancing wildly, wide sleeves.
