Two days later, Gu Lai went to bid farewell to Ata. Seeing her this time, her face was much haggard, but there was a faint lightness in her eyes.

She told Gu Lai that she had thought a lot after she came back, and she confessed to Hu Tiehua, but after she said everything, she felt more at ease, and her thoughts towards him also eased a lot.

Ata is a strong girl, she understands that some things cannot be forced, she is still young, and there is still a long way to go, the man she liked will eventually become a passer-by in her life.

Gu Lai was also happy for Ata to really let go.But what should go is still to go, Gu Lai did not return the rented house, she told Atta that she would come back, and hoped to see Atta again, she would find her own happiness.

The scorching sun and the endless desert, Gu Lai rode a camel and walked for a few days, but he was still wandering on the edge of the desert.

Gu Lai took off the water bag and took a sip. The clear water moisturised her dry throat like a spring, and the sultry heat in her chest was relieved by the coolness.

The daytime in the desert is extremely hot, and the heat evaporates from the yellow sand. At night, the biting cold hits the body again, and the wind blows on the face, like a knife cutting.

But the starlight at night is extremely beautiful, giving people a sense of aloofness and profoundness, so Gu Lai seldom sleeps at night. She likes to set up the tent, spread a blanket beside the tent, and lie on it to look up at the starry sky. The starlight seen by the water palace is much more beautiful, boundless, free and vast, she likes this feeling, and is also pursuing this feeling,

After walking for many days, Gu Lai's footprints began to go deep into the hinterland of the desert. Fortunately, after staying in Malian Town for a while, he had to adapt to this climate.

It's just that the map prepared before is useless. After all, the desert is too big. No one can guarantee that once you go in, you will be able to come out. Gu Lai can only rely on the stars at night to guide the direction.

Along the way, Gu Lai ran into someone, but looked up and found a few strange hawks, and they were tame hawks, appearing in the sky three times a day at the same time, clearly patrolling his territory and scouting the enemy.

To have such means in the desert, if Gu Lai doesn't do what he thinks, it will only be Shi Guanyin.

Gu Lai did not attack these eagles. After all, she did not have the idea of ​​making an enemy of Shi Guanyin. With Shenshui Palace as the backing, Shi Guanyin did not dare to do anything to her. Research was done, and at least the place they flew back to must be an oasis with plenty of water, because she's running low on water.

Sure enough, her hard work paid off, Gu Lai finally saw the oasis in the desert, and she could also understand the feelings of people who really walk in the desert seeing this scene.

But as soon as they set foot on the green and soft grass, there were seven or eight golden armored warriors rushing out from the bushes, apparently very wary of this veiled woman with a sword in her hand.

But Gu Lai didn't show any panic on his face, she noticed the people in the bushes ten feet away, but why did she retreat, these people did not pose any threat to her at all, Qingshui was to her, More important isn't it.

I saw the spears in the hands of the warriors stabbing straight at Gu Lai, but she remained motionless. In an instant, the golden armored warrior saw a flash of cold light in front of her eyes, and the spears in her hands were cut off by the root, but looking at Gu Lai again, Her sword was still in the scabbard, and they didn't even see Gu Lai drawing the sword clearly. The speed of drawing the sword was unheard of, and the golden armored warriors all backed away in shock.

At this time, the two sides were confronting each other, and another person came out from behind, obviously their leader, he said a few words in the language of the Western Regions to those golden armored warriors, and those people immediately retreated,

Then he looked at Gu Lai with a smile, bowed his hands, and said in proficient Chinese: "Your Excellency, I am Gulu, the commander of King Kucha. My king admires your martial arts and has come from afar. I want to treat you well." You."

Gu Lai listened, nodded slightly, and then looked at the camel he was leading. The Guru also had a wink, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, we will send someone to feed your camel, please follow me first." Said After that, he led the way in for Gu Lai.

There are more than a dozen white and large tents on the green grass, with big golden bells hanging on the four corners, and four golden armored warriors guarding the door of each tent. Guru guides Gu Lai to the largest and most beautiful tent. of a tent.

From time to time, light music and joyful laughter can be heard in the beautiful tent. The guards here are stricter than other places, and the warriors are all standing upright.

Gulu said a few words in Kucha language and showed a token before he was willing to let the two of them go.

Gu Lai Shi Shiran walked in, but he was also ready to draw his sword at any time.

There was a soft and beautiful grass outside the tent, but inside the tent was a carpet that was ten times softer and ten times more beautiful than any grass in the world.

A few low tables were lined up on the carpet, and the tables were piled up with fresh fruits and wine and vegetables. Several people in fresh clothes were happily sitting on the carpet and drinking.

The happiest one was a man in red robe with tendrils and beard and a golden crown on his head. He was sitting high behind a low table in the middle, holding a gold cup in his left hand, and embracing the slender waist of a beautiful woman from the Western Regions with his right hand. When someone came in, he put down the golden cup in his hand, and laughed loudly: "There is another distinguished guest here, I don't know who you are."

Gu Lu was a little embarrassed. He didn't ask Gu Lai's name just now. He said that he was entrusted by King Kucha. Gu Lai stepped forward and said indifferently: "Si Qing, a native of the Central Plains, is just an unknown junior."

When King Qiuci heard this, he slapped his thigh hard, and said with a bold smile: "One against eight, it's no problem, Miss Si is humble."

A pale-faced man in green on the seat on the left suddenly stood up, and said eccentrically, "I just don't know why Miss Si is still covering her face when she enters the tent?"

He thought that he was dissatisfied with the courteous treatment of such an unknown person by the king of Qiuci, and the king of Qiuci did not intend to mediate, and he probably wanted to use this person's mouth to test Gu Lai's bottom line.

"My humble face scares everyone, and I hope King Qiuci will forgive me." Gu Lai said without blinking, obviously unwilling to take off the veil.

King Kucha couldn't force it either, so he could only comfort him in his heart. Experts always have some eccentricities, and he said without changing his smile: "It's Xiao Wang's honor to be a guest at my place."

After Gu Lai sat down, the beautiful maid at the side poured fine wine for her, and the man in green didn't make any further provocations, probably because he felt that bullying a woman was shameless.

King Qiuci introduced other people to her one by one. Surprisingly, these people are all martial arts people from the Central Plains. The three people sitting on the left are actually brothers from the Wu family who are famous masters of "Longyou Sword". The lone thief Situ Meteor who shocked the two rivers.

The pale-faced man in green was even more famous. He was actually the "ruthless killer" Du Huan who was famous in the Jianghu for being cruel and ruthless.

The person sitting between him and Gu Lai was Wang Chong, with a sickly face and listless appearance. Not only did he not look amazing, but his name was unknown.

Gu Lai didn't respond to other people's names, but when he heard Wang Chong, he seemed to have some impressions in his mind. After so many years, the legend of Chu Liuxiang he remembered only had a general content, but Wang Chong should also be personal, and not hostile.

Gu Lai took a sip of the wine under the veil. It is a famous grape wine in the Western Regions, and it has been chilled. This is considered precious to King Qiuci, but he is willing to use it to entertain all martial arts masters .

Gu Lai only knows that if you have something to give, you must ask for it, and what you ask for is not small, otherwise he wouldn't be so courteous to the corporal.

Gu Lai has no scruples in her heart. With her ability, she can at least get out of the way, and she is not afraid of being used by the King of Kucha. After finally finding a rare desert oasis, she naturally wants to enjoy it before leaving go.

Although King Qiuci had doubts about her, if he had more power, he would have more chances. Guru would not lie to him. Others would not be able to see clearly if he drew his sword quickly. This time she was not hostile. It's just the spears in the hands of the warriors. If there is any hostility, their heads will be cut off.

Therefore, the treatment Gu Lai received was also very good, and he could even act at will, and there were guards to block the places he couldn't enter.

Gu Lai has been receiving banquets from the King of Kucha these few days. It seems that the King of Kucha likes to have fun and enjoy the extravagance, but as far as he invites martial arts masters from the Central Plains, it can be seen that he has a lot of heart.

Occasionally, Princess Pipa, the jewel in the palm of King Kucha, will also appear. She is as beautiful as a flower and plays the pipa well, which is very popular with King Kucha.Although she was curious about Gu Lai, a masked woman of unknown origin, she was smart enough not to ask too many questions, so as not to spoil her father's affairs.

After attending this kind of banquet a few times, Gu Lai politely declined. He was a little tired of singing, dancing and drinking, so he walked around the oasis.

This oasis is quite big, enough to build a small country. Gu Lai walked into the depths of the mountains and forests. The more he went, the more green trees and streams flowed. It was hard to imagine that he was in the middle of the desert.

The corners of her clothes scraped through the green and dense leaves, making a rustling sound, and her footsteps were silent. If someone looked closely behind her, they would find that there was no trace left on the grass she passed, which shows the beauty of her lightness. .

The faster she walked, Gu Lai could hear the ding-dong sound of spring water deep in the forest, but then she heard the clear and empty music, which was the sound of a flute

A trace of familiar affection quietly entangled her heart, even she deliberately slowed down, and slowly walked towards the place where the flute sound came from.
