Gu Ziyou drove through Chilian Village and climbed Chita Mountain from another direction. The higher he went, the steeper and more difficult the mountain road became.Gu Ziyou leaned against the mountain and steered the carriage with great effort.Chita Mountain is densely shaded, and after a while, their figures disappeared in the shade of the trees.

An hour later, Nazhen and his party who came to arrest arrived at Chilian Village.

They should have arrived at Chilian Village last night, but because Ke Lun was with her this time, Nazhen had to make more elaborate defenses to prevent her from being injured, so it was a bit late.

Carefully selected guards have slowly infiltrated into every corner of Chilian Village according to Nazhen's instructions, searching for the whereabouts of Gu Ziyou and Li Weixi.Nazhen, on the other hand, led a few of his men and entered through the village gate in plain clothes.

"Yang Mu, what is written on this stone?" The Chita clan's writing is unique to them, and even Nazhen, who is proficient in multiple languages, has encountered trouble.

"Reporting to the Great Khan, the name of the village is written on the stone, and it is called 'Chilian Village'."

"Chilian Village?" Nazhen wondered, "Why not Chita Village?"

Yang Mu replied: "Chilian is at the foot of the mountain, and Chita is on the mountainside. The two villages together with this mountain are called Chita. Anyone who enters Chita must pass through Chilian."

"In this way, Princess Dajin is very likely to be in Chilian, Qiyin, you will lead your men into Chilian to search carefully, and report back if you have any clues."

"Yes!"

"Great Khan, we Tatars did business with Chita before, and most of them cooperated with people from Chilian Village. The people in this village are simple and kind, not as weird and unpredictable as the people in Chita Village. "Yang Mu said.

"Usually, you are in charge of those trades. Do you have acquaintance here, and what can you get out of him?" Nazhen, who was dressed as a man, put his hands behind his back and asked.

"I remember that there lived a tea-picking farmer on the west side of the village entrance. He was an old man, and he was honest. He should be able to see people passing by. Why don't we ask him?"

"it is good."

Ke Lun followed Nazhen all the way, and didn't say much, just listening to Nazhen and Yang Mu's question and answer.

In her eyes, the scenery of northern Xinjiang was almost the same as that of Tatar, so she didn't find it novel, but the aura exuded by the majestic mountain in front of her shocked her.

Ke Lun kept walking, distracted for a while, and then followed the crowd to the old man's house that Yang Mu said, she regained her senses.

In the courtyard on the west side of the village entrance, there was indeed an old man in the courtyard, but upon closer inspection, it was not the old man Yang Mu had mentioned, but an old woman.

"Khan and Khan stay behind. This person is not the person the subordinates just mentioned. Let the subordinates go and inquire first to avoid bombing."

"Go ahead," Nazen agreed.

Yang Mu stepped into the courtyard with three or two followers to inquire.

"Grandma, excuse me, where did the confused old man who lived here go?"

Grandma Chen stood up from the couch when she saw a visitor coming, and walked two steps toward the door to meet the visitor, tremblingly said: "The foolish old man moved, sold this place to me."

"Then grandma, do you know where he moved to? My master has always been thinking about the tea made by the foolish old man, and sent us to find it. We drove for a long time before we arrived at Chita."

"I don't know about that." Grandma Chen shook her head, "This house was also in my hands through a middleman. When I moved here, old man Chen was no longer here."

"So that's the case, then let's look elsewhere, thank you grandma."

"You're welcome."

Yang Mu led the people away, and when he reached Nazhen, he shook his head at her: "Khan, there is something wrong with this old woman, let's leave here first."

After walking a certain distance outside to make sure that others would not hear, Yang Mu continued: "When I was buying tea at the foolish old man's house, I chatted with him. He said that the house here was passed down by his ancestors for generations. Keep it until death. If something happened, he would never sell this old house."

Nazhen thought for a while and said, "Then how do you know that he is not dead? Since you call him an old man, he must have been quite old when you met him."

"Khan doesn't know something," Yang Mu said in a low voice, "there is a mysterious thing in Chita Mountain, which makes the time in Chita land slower than outside. Therefore, according to the calculation method outside, the people in Chita Life expectancy will be much longer than ordinary people."

"Nonsense!" Nazhen obviously didn't believe it, and scolded Yang Mu: "How could such a thing happen? The sun rises and sets, and the speed of time is a predetermined thing."

Seeing that Nazhen didn't believe him, Yang Mu became a little anxious: "Khan, although there are many folk rumors, it is true."

Ke Lun knew that Nazhen didn't like the deification of demons, so when Yang Mu told the story, she had such a big reaction.But there are some things in the world that cannot be explained by common sense.

Ke Lun agreed with Yang Mu and said: "What Yang Mu said is true, I have also heard the rumors about Chita."

"Oh?" Nazhen turned his head and looked at Ke Lun.

"There are many versions of this rumor, but none of them can explain it clearly. Even the Chita people are mostly confused. But I... believe it to be true."

Since Ke Lun is also on Yang Mu's side, Nazhen is willing to believe it.She looked up at the old woman in the courtyard again, and said in surprise: "Isn't that old woman already over a hundred years old?"

Ke Lun continued: "The old woman has some problems. The eyes of an old man at this age are so cloudy. And this old woman just got closer, and when I looked at her, I found that her eyes were still black and bright. It really doesn't match his age. Although his feet are staggering, his hands are strong, and when he saw us approaching, he inadvertently leaked a tense movement, which is not like what a simple and simple old man should have."

"You still observe carefully. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Let's go into the village." Nazhen was overjoyed. Maybe this time he brought Ke Lun out, and he could reap many unexpected joys.

Ke Lun looked back, and accidentally saw that the old woman in the courtyard had stood up and came behind the bamboo fence. Her wrinkled, loose face appeared through the bamboo fence, without the slightest expression, her swarthy eyes Looking at himself, it was very strange.

Let's hope we don't meet her again.Curran thought so.

After walking along the undulating mountain road for most of the day, Gu Ziyou at the front of the carriage was drenched in sweat from the scorching sun of northern Xinjiang.One side of Chita Mountain is shaded, and the other side faces the sun.On the shady side, there are mostly dense and lush trees, while on the sunny side, due to the high sun, only a few coniferous tree species can survive, resulting in a situation without shade.

Gu Ziyou was originally a person with a hot body, he was exposed to the cold, but he couldn't stand the heat, now when the sun was hot and he drove the horse vigorously, he sweated profusely and his whole body burned like fire.

"Ziyou, stop!" In the middle of the journey, Li Weixi suddenly yelled from the carriage, and Gu Ziyou hurriedly stopped the carriage upon hearing the sound.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Ziyou parked the carriage near the mountain.

"It's not good for me, but you should take a rest. It's a long way to go outside to reach the hiding place. You go into the car to drink some water and wipe off your sweat." Li Weixi called out.

"Okay." Now that Her Highness the Princess had spoken, Gu Ziyou had no choice but to obey. She jumped out of the carriage, tied the horse's reins to a raised stone, and tied the knot tightly to make sure it was correct. Back to the carriage.

As soon as Gu Ziyou got into the carriage, he felt a chill.

After sweating so much, the clothes are soaked, and it will naturally smell of sweat.Gu Ziyou thought about it, afraid that Li Weixi would smell it, so he sat a little far away from her.

Li Weixi saw that Gu Ziyou's cheeks were flushed, his head was sweating profusely, and he was sitting far away from him.He couldn't help frowning, stretched out his arm and pulled her, trying to pull her to his side.

Gu Ziyou struggled and had no hope, so he could only obey like a little daughter-in-law.

Li Weixi said distressedly: "There is still so much time, why are you in such a hurry?" She wiped Gu Ziyou's sweat with a handkerchief while talking.

Gu Ziyou was a little guilty, his eyes were half closed, and he sat motionless, silent.

But the sweat on her face couldn't be manipulated by her as she wished, like an unstoppable fountain, just after wiping it off, it came out again.

"When you arrive at Chita Village earlier, can't you rest earlier? It's better to rest in the village." After a long silence, Gu Ziyou finally found an excuse for himself.

"Needless to say, listen to me, let's take a rest before leaving." Li Weixi's voice cooled down.

"Okay, okay." Gu Ziyou nodded his head like a pounding garlic, and agreed repeatedly.

After sweating so much, there is not enough water in the body, and I am indeed thirsty.Gu Ziyou looked around the carriage, but he couldn't find his water bottle.She remembered that before getting into the car, she put the water bottle near the front of the car.

"Looking for a kettle?" Li Weixi put away the handkerchief and asked after the sweat finally stopped.

"Yeah, I seem to remember putting it in this position." Gu Ziyou scratched his head, pointing to the door of the carriage and said.

Li Weixi smiled: "I took it away, here, here it is for you."

Gu Ziyou was slightly surprised when he saw Li Weixi conjuring his water bottle out of his arms like a magic trick.It turned out that the two of them were already considerate to such an extent.

"It's cool." Li Weixi handed the water bottle to Gu Ziyou, and replied: "You always have my water bottle hanging around your waist, and your water bottle will also be kept with me in the future. In this way, we can complement each other. need."

Gu Ziyou drank the cold and sweet water, bent his eyes and smiled with his lips raised, and said softly: "Okay."
