Tianjia

The frightened horse beast neighed, raised its front hooves and was about to go mad, but was held down by the mat.

After the horse beast was glanced at by the young female, it immediately honestly... knelt down.

Xi walked to the front of the beast car, ignoring the questioning and cursing from inside the car, he raised his eyes to look at the male driving the beast car, as if he wanted to see the man's face clearly through the hood.

He said, "Take it off."

The male was stunned, but he lowered his head and tightened the brim of his hat, as if he was a little scared.

At this time, the passengers in the animal car got out of the car, and quickly recognized the woman in front of her, who was currently famous in the imperial city.

"The one who blocked the car was... the chief envoy?!" A middle-aged female asked cautiously, "I don't know what's going on, we are in a hurry to go out of the city to do business."

Xi glanced at him, and recalled in his mind that he seemed to have seen him in the court, and he was a medium-sized official.

Xi asked, "So it's Minister Yao and your...family?"

Yao nodded again and again, and said, "My Xiongjun and Mozi are still sitting in the beast cart, I will let them come down to meet you."

Xi said flatly, "No need, I want to ask the driver."

"Could it be your servant?"

Yao glanced at the male driver in surprise, thinking to himself how did this useless eldest son get into the eyes of the chief envoy? !

He didn't dare to hide it, and replied truthfully, "This is my eldest son, because he will get motion sickness in a beast car, so he just came out to drive, so that he can breathe fresh air and see the surrounding scenery."

"Your eldest son?" Xi squinted his eyes, and he looked at the male's figure again and compared it carefully.

Indeed... there are some differences.

But now there are many disguise techniques that can change even the body shape.

Xi asked unwillingly, "Is it convenient to take off this hood?"

Before the male had any reaction, Yao had already reminded, "The envoys have already spoken, so hurry up and take it off."

A few seconds later, the male driver finally took off his hood, and an ordinary face appeared in front of Xi, very strange.

Xi frowned, and then let go of the hand holding the horse beast... This is not his male attendant.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Yao looked at his useless eldest son, then at the expression of the envoy, and asked cautiously, "I heard that your servant is lost, is it similar to my eldest son?"

Xi nodded slightly, "The height and hair color are very similar, sorry, I took the liberty to disturb."

Looking at this outstanding and polite young female, Yao's calculations crackled in his heart.

Even females who are favored by Emperor Jia can start a family normally.

Although his eldest son is in good shape, his appearance is mediocre, and it is very difficult to marry him. With so many males now, even commoner females are very picky.

But if it happened to fall into the eyes of this young hero, wouldn't it be a big help?

Yao said with a smile, "My eldest son's name is Shen Shu, and he has a dull personality. I wonder what the chief envoy's impression of him is?"

Xi was feeling agitated, so he glanced at the male who might be frightened by the horse beast he had pulled, and replied flatly, "It's okay."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Yao standing where he was, stroking his bald forehead, his mind active.

A middle-aged male poked his head out from inside the beast cart, and whispered, "What's the matter, that new envoy has taken a fancy to our Shen Shu?"

Yao smiled and got on the animal cart, and said, "There is no rush, we will talk about it when we go back."

Another little male also stuck out his head and looked at his brother curiously, but soon his eyes were attracted by Xi's back.

Shen Xi couldn't help but said depressedly, "If I had known, I would have taken a sneak peek just now, and I heard that this new envoy looks very good."

At least the pale golden hair is very in line with the aesthetics of males.

Shen Shu heard his younger brother's muttering, and the handsome and indifferent face just now appeared in his mind, his cheeks were slightly flushed.

Is this... taking him as a substitute?

On the way back, Xi happened to pass by the garden where the garden was held.

What he had searched before was the mansions of the four generals, and these other places were inspected by other guards.

Xi took a few glances and was about to leave when he suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood.

The female has a very keen sense of smell, and he subconsciously turned over to the eaves, and saw the bodies of the fourth general Dan and two guards, as well as a male struggling before death.

They seem to be dragged out of a basement... There is a basement here? !

It's just a garden, it shouldn't have this kind of structure, and it's not indicated in the report.

After General Dan noticed the peeping sight from behind, it was too late. After Xi issued an early warning signal, he jumped down and slapped the fourth general aside.

He entered this simple and gloomy basement, and immediately smelled the faint smell that belonged to that male servant.

Xi took a deep breath, looked at those utensils and chains through the light, and growled in an extremely cold voice, "Dan!!"

At this time, it was dawn, and the genius had just dawned.

Gu Yun drove the animal cart out of the imperial city, and left the city without any danger along the way.

With entanglements and false identification on him, he headed north, galloping toward remote and marginal wilderness.

The information collected during this period shows that there are also some settlements in the wilderness, whether it is females, males, or sub-men, there is no shortage of people who have been driven out of the city or homeless.

They either wandered in the wilderness, struggling alone, or gathered in groups to keep warm.

Gu Yun thought to himself, maybe he could get more secret information there. After all, although the territory ruled by the emperor is very vast, the wilderness is endless.

He has made a rough plan, and the specific details will not be finalized until he arrives in the wilderness and finds the rumored gathering place.

But not long after entering the wilderness, Gu Yun picked up a familiar female on the side of the road.

He remembered that this female was called "Qiu", and she was a small businessman like Xi before... Why is the situation in the imperial capital so bad now, have all the businessmen come to the wilderness?

Gu Yun didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the female grabbed his wheel so hard that she didn't even care about peeling her fingers, she just called for help instinctively.

If you think about it, if you meet a beast cart on this wild road that doesn't even count as a road, you might think it's an illusion.

Gu Yun had no choice but for the sake of acquaintance, he picked up the female into the car, but when she woke up, the scream was louder than that of a horse or a beast.

Gu Yun raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "Stop shouting, this is the wilderness, shouting out your throat will only attract a group of ferocious beasts."

"No, wait, you, you, why are you here, Xi, is Xi here?" Qiu looked at the male in disbelief, and rubbed his eyes again and again.

How could he remember that after Xi was promoted, he was sent as an envoy to the Eastern Continent, and he has not returned yet, how he was sent to the wilderness in a blink of an eye by the Xiongshi who was carrying him with him.

And saved him...

Gu Yun didn't intend to tell this unfamiliar female the story of the escape. He said flatly, "You can leave after your injury is healed, and pretend you haven't seen me."

Qiu hesitated to speak, he couldn't go back and hide it from Xi, it seems that this male waiter sneaked out?

Isn't that Xi going crazy, he's in a bit of a dilemma...

Gu Yun seemed to see his embarrassment, and said without changing his expression, "If someone asks you later, it's okay to be forced to speak up, but I just want to keep it secret for as long as possible."

"...Okay." Qiu checked the wounds on his body, hesitated, and said sincerely, "Thank you, my caravan was attacked by refugees in the wilderness, and I managed to escape, but almost died on the road. You healed."

Gu Yun said calmly, "It's nothing more than a little effort."

Qiu stood up with difficulty, and after drinking a few sips of water, he couldn't help but asked curiously, "Where are you going? Going forward, there is a large refugee gathering place. I was attacked after I came out from there." .”

Gu Yun asked without answering, "What are you doing there?"

Qiu Yi patted his thigh and said angrily, "I was fooled by a friend. He said that there was a news of a mithril mine here. Make sure it is true. Let me come here to pick up the leaks and eat the meat."

"I didn't expect that the meat was not eaten, and it almost became soup."

Mithril mine?

Gu Yun thought of the collar that was once tied around his neck, and that thin silver chain...

Only then did Qiu realize that there was no sign on this male attendant, and he asked in surprise, "Are those identification marks on your body gone... Could it be that you were kicked out by the seat?!"

It's not surprising that the female who is unpredictable and has a perverse personality would do such a thing.

Maybe it's not sneaking away, but just having nowhere to go, so I fell into the wilderness...

Qiu suddenly felt very sympathetic, and he kindly suggested, "If that's the case, you can go back with me, this place is really too dangerous, and it's very difficult for males born in the city to survive."

Gu Yun glanced at him and said, "It's okay, I'm not a city hero either."

Qiu thought of the rumors about the origin of this male servant, but still shook his head and said, "If you were really born in the wilderness, you should be more aware of the danger here."

"Although natural disasters are raging here and fierce beasts are rampant, those who survive are lucky, and there is no distinction between nobles and slaves, but your appearance... no matter where you put it, it will always attract attention, not to mention that you are still a male. .”

Even if the wilderness does not pay attention to the distinction between male and female, but only looks at the strength and weakness, but the physical characteristics are there, there are still some differences, at most it will not be as big as the difference in class status in the city.

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he suddenly asked, "Then what if I am a female?"

Qiu widened his eyes and said, "How can you be a female, and Xi is also blind on the bed?!"

Gu Yun coughed lightly, avoided this sentence, and continued, "If you can disguise yourself as a female, it will be much more convenient to move about. I want to go to the gathering place to see."

Qiu frowned tightly and said, "But you don't even have female lines on your body...Of course, this can indeed be painted with special paint, but the deadliest wings can't be faked, right?"

Gu Yun observed the female's lines, and subconsciously compared them in his heart...it seemed that the ones on Xi's body were more perfect.

He said slowly, "Isn't it normal for a female whose wings have been cut off to end up in the wilderness?"

fur:"……"

This male must be crazy, actually want to pretend to be a female.

Are you going to fight a female? !

Or to poke with males? !
