Seeing my vigilant gaze looking around, Yu Wenying smiled faintly and said, "Miss Yan, can rest assured. If Xie Feng is really here, I can still protect you."

After seeing through his thoughts, I smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course I'm not just worried about myself."

“…”

"Miaoyan, and the imperial concubine, each of them, I don't want to be hurt anymore."

“…”

Yu Wenying raised her eyebrows and said as if she was a little surprised: "So, Miss Yan and the Imperial Concubine have such a good relationship? I thought you two—"

He didn't finish his words, but I probably understood what it meant. After all, they were all people who had rolled in the harem. Even if Yu Wenying didn't care at all about what happened in Pei Yuanhao's harem, people with some common sense must understand that it is difficult for women in the harem to have deep friendship. Now, I compare Nangong Lizhu with Miaoyan.

But what he didn't know was that if Nangong Lizhu had not taken care of Miaoyan before he met them, I would have unimagined what would have happened in such a Gobi Desert; let alone-

Nangong Lizhu is also a key figure in detoxifying Qinghan.

But I didn't need to tell him in detail, so I just smiled faintly, and a little embarrassment appeared in my smile.

Yu Wenying looked at me, as if she wanted to see the reason. I changed the topic and said, "I always feel that Xie Feng is not simple, and his purpose is even more simple. You may have to spend more time dealing with him."

Yu Wenying turned her head and looked at me meaningfully, "Of course."

In the night, his eyes were shining brightly.

I looked into his eyes and said, "Actually, I still hope to leave here earlier. After all, the weather in this Gobi Desert is impermanent and the variables are too large, which is not good for us. If we can return to the Central Plains earlier and deal with him, we can also make a long-term plan."

Yu Wenying also looked into my eyes: "I know, we won't stay for too long."

I smiled and said, "Then I'll be relieved."

He said, "It's getting late, Miss Yan should go back early to rest."

"What about you?"

"I, I want to stay here for a while."

"That's OK."

I turned around and returned to Miaoyan. The girl wrapped the entire blanket around me. I smiled bitterly and could only take out a corner to barely cover my back. Then I slowly fell asleep while the ground was still warm.

Early the next morning, after Yu Wenying got up, he began to prepare everyone for sacrifices by the lake.

Everyone knew that his purpose of coming to the northwest this time was to pay tribute to the Longxi Army, so everyone started to get busy, because they also knew that as long as they paid tribute to the Longxi Army, he would leave here, and everyone had long wanted to leave this Gobi Desert, which was not growing in a harsh environment.

However, the memorial service is not that simple.

From the morning, Yu Wenying no longer ate the meat of the wild beasts they hunted from the lake and came to the river. She only drank some clear water and ate some simple dry cakes. I thought the fasting would be over, but at noon, when the sun rose to the middle of the zenith, he took out his compass and began to pace slowly by the lake.

Miaoyan was very interested in the compass and followed him step by step: "Uncle Yuwen, what are you doing?"

Yu Wenying didn't even look at her, but just stared at her compass seriously: "I'm looking for a direction."

"What are you doing when you find a location?"

"Sacrifice."

"Do you still need to find a location for the sacrifice?"

Yu Wenying looked back at her, and I hurriedly pulled Miaoyan and said, "Of course Mr. Yu Wen has his own plans."

Yu Wenying smiled and said, "The princess is so interested in this? Actually, it's nothing, because I want to find the place closest to the burial place of the Longxi Army. Such sacrifices are pious."

"oh……!"

When Miaoyan heard what he said, the expression on her face became serious.

Yu Wenying started to continue his work again. Miaoyan and I followed him for a while, but when we walked a little further, we lost our energy. In addition, the hot sun made the skin and flesh bloom all over our body. We could only retreat to the place where we rested and hid in the shade of the sandstone. Nangong Lizhu took his handkerchief to moisten the lake water and gently wiped Miaoyan's face.

Miaoyan said: "Thank you, Concubine."

Nangong Lizhu just smiled gently.

It was not until the evening that Yu Wenying returned to her original place.

Everyone was waiting for his news, and at this time, they hurried forward and asked, "Mr. Yuwen, have you found the location?"

"Well, are you ready?"

"The candles and paper money were all carried with you before, and they were all ready."

It seems that Yu Wenying attaches great importance to this memorial service for the Longxi Army. In addition to carrying water and food, he also specially brought candles and paper money for the memorial service. Not only did he feel the intention, but he also had the ceremony.

However, facing the things everyone had prepared, he seemed to be unsatisfied. He shook his head, walked to his horse again, and took down a huge bag from it.

It can be seen that the bag was a bit heavy. He walked over with one hand and said, "With this, everything is complete. Are I ready for the wooden boards you have prepared?"

Those people also prepared, but they found a huge dead tree that they had found in a relatively far place, slowly splitting into wooden boards.

Seeing all this, Yu Wenying nodded slightly with satisfaction.

He said, "Then, let's go."

So everyone picked up the torches, put out the fire, and followed him slowly along the lakeside.

After walking for about half an hour, the sun was about to set, and some animals could be heard around us. We finally saw a dead tree standing by the lake ahead, which was obviously a sign that Yu Wenying inserted there in advance.

I asked, "Mr. Yuwen, is it here?"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Not bad."

He took us over and asked everyone to prepare on the shore separately. After I passed, I also looked at the surrounding environment. It was similar to the place where we had rested before. There was a vast Gobi desert, with a few sandstones scattered in the distance, and some guards had already gone there to live and camp there. The lake shore at the foot was a bit special. Perhaps the terrain of this place was relatively high before being flooded by the lake. There was a long road that extended to a deeper place on the lake surface. But when I walked over, I saw that the bottom was deep and even deeper than the shallows in other places.

From this point of view, this place should be a very high and huge sandstone before it was flooded by the lake.

I asked Yu Wenying: "Is it right here?"

He shook his head: "In the middle of the lake."

"Then, will you start the memorial service now?"

"No, there's still a shortage of sacrifice."

After he finished speaking, he returned to the shore, took out his saber and left.

After a while, some animals were sobbing from the Gobi Desert. After a while, Yu Wenying came back, holding three wolf heads in her hand, bloody, and even the tip of his knife dripped blood. When Miaoyan and Nangong Lizhu saw it, they immediately closed their eyes and covered their faces in horror.

But Yu Wenying didn't care at all. After dripping the wolf blood around the lake, she slowly walked to the center of the lake shore and placed the three wolf heads neatly in front.

Then, I would like to pay tribute to the incense and candles one by one.

I walked over and asked, "Mr. Yuwen, this is your 'sacrificial'."

"good."

"Sacrifice... shouldn't it be the heads of pigs, cattle and sheep?"

He smiled faintly: "Ordinary people's sacrifices are indeed made of pigs, cattle and sheep, because they want to pray for wealth, but the people in the army do not want wealth, but what they want is peace in this area."

“…”

Although it was just a simple sentence, it deeply shocked my heart, and I seemed to be able to feel the mood of the soldiers who had fought here in blood.

I nodded and stood behind him. After he finished the wine and tribute, I asked, "Mr. Yuwen, can I also get an incense stick?"

Yu Wenying looked back at me and nodded, "Of course."

After saying that, he handed me the three lit incense, I took it, bowed three times, inserted it to the ground, and then solemnly gave three deep bows to the center of the lake in front of me.

Even in normal times, I am full of respect and gratitude for the soldiers who guard the frontier like this, and I will definitely burn incense and pray for them at this time. Now, my mood is a little more solemn than usual, because I really didn't expect that this Longxi Army would be a branch of my ancestors. I don't know what happened back then, so that they were destroyed overnight, but I think that when they were guarding Longxi, this place must be Hai Qingyanping.

It was they who used their blood and loyalty to maintain the peace of this side.

When I finished my prayer and turned around, Yu Wenying looked at me: "What are you thinking?"

"Me?" I smiled: "I hope that the secret of their burial here can be seen again as soon as possible, just like the truth at the bottom of this lake, the truth will be revealed as soon as possible."

Yu Wenying said lightly: "Maybe the secret can be seen again earlier, but the truth at the bottom of the lake is difficult to come out."

“…”

"Every time the water falls, everything at the bottom of the lake disappears."

“…”

"Maybe, they were taken to another world, like those who have been buried here."

When he said this, he seemed a little sad, not as calm and rational as usual. I was wonderingly, when I lowered my head, I saw that he was carrying the heavy bag in his hand.

My eyebrows frowned: "What is this?"

He also looked down and said, "This is what I brought to them, the last 'sacrificial'."
