The hot wind blew freely on the vast land. Xi Yu and his group moved forward slowly and gradually approached the border between the Central Plains and the Kushan Empire.

Xi Yu frowned, with thoughts in his eyes. He tied the reins and turned to Tuoba Yu beside him and said, "I wonder if Chen Shou is familiar with the history of the Kushan Kingdom. Alas, he should have arrived in Youzhou with Zhao Yun at this time."

Tuoba Yu blocked the dazzling sunshine with his hands and responded: "Chen Shou is a very knowledgeable person and must have learned something about the history of the Kushan Kingdom. But now that he has gone to Youzhou, we can only find a way."

Xi Yu sighed softly, with a slightly worried expression, and murmured to himself: "If you can know the past when you have a clear understanding of the past, you can be more confident in your actions. Go and continue to move forward, and see what the situation is in this border!"

The group continued to march towards the unknown border in the rolling smoke and dust.

But it was already late, so they found an inn to live in.

This inn is in a remote village, and the surroundings are silent, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

Xi Yu and others walked into the inn. The owner was an old man, very short, wrinkled, and a pair of small eyes that showed shrewdness and sophistication.

Xi Yu stepped forward and asked politely: "Shopkeeper, do you have a room?"

The old man raised his head, glanced at them, and said angrily: "Yes, yes, the price is not cheap."

So I mentioned a price.

Tuoba Yu frowned and said, "Your price is too high, can it be cheaper?"

The old man hugged his hands in front of his chest and replied with a tough attitude: "Just this price, I can't live with love!"

Xi Yu's face was slightly dark, but when it was too late, he said helplessly: "Forget it, give us a few rooms."

The old man then showed a smug smile, turned around to get the key, and muttered, "Hmph, wouldn't it be like this long ago?"

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they could only stay there for the time being.

But Tuoba Yu couldn't help it, his pretty face was angry, his eyes widened, and he asked the old man: "What's your attitude? We have discussed with you so much that you are so arrogant!"

When the old man heard this, his face was even more unhappy, his cheeks were bulging with anger, and he shouted at the top of his voice: "I can't stay in love, I can't stop getting out of here. There are no other inns in this radius of dozens of miles, you can do it yourself!"

Xi Yu hurriedly grabbed Tuoba Yu, frowned slightly, and said to the old man: "Shopkeeper, don't get angry, let's live."

Tuoba Yu stared at the old man angrily, his chest undulating, obviously still angry.

The old man snorted, gave them a blank look, and muttered, "Isn't it over long ago? It's all about delaying things." After that, he ignored them and went to tidy up the counter on his own.

Xi Yu shook his head helplessly and pulled Tuoba Yu towards the room.

Tuoba Yu was particularly angry, with a pretty face flushed and his eyebrows were raised. He shouted at Xi Yu: "Husband, how can you be so unprincipled? This old man is so arrogant and unreasonable. According to my temper, he should be killed to relieve the hatred in his heart!"

Xi Yu's face was calm, but his eyes were calm and calm. He said slowly: "Don't be impulsive. It is not beneficial to us when there are any problems with this season."

Tuoba Yu bit his lip, his eyes still not dissipated, and he said angrily: "Are you just swallowing your anger like this? I really can't swallow this!"

Xi Yu shook his head slightly, looked at her firmly, and patiently advised: "We are responsible for heavy responsibilities, and we must not miss major issues because of a momentary indignation. Be patient for the time being, and wait until the mission is completed, what is some grievance?"

Tuoba Yu's chest was fluctuating violently, and he was breathing heavily. After a while, it gradually calmed down and said helplessly: "Forget it, I'll listen to you."

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong walked into the room. Xiaohong stomped her feet in anger, put her hands on her hips, and her little face turned red. She said angrily: "Miss, this old shop owner is so angry! We have lived in so many places, but we have never encountered such a hateful person!"

Ouyang Linlin sat beside the bed, frowned slightly, with a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, but she still said calmly: "Xiaohong, don't be so angry. When you are away, just bear with it."

Xiaohong widened her eyes and said anxiously: "Miss, you are so kind-hearted. That old man is simply too bullying!"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, pulled Xiaohong's hand, and comforted her: "What can we care about him? It's better to have less trouble than more things. Don't ruin your mood because of this."

Xiaohong bit her lip and muttered angrily: "Hmph, that old man is cheap, don't let me meet such a person again next time!"

The old man quickly returned to his room, sat on the chair, and gasped.

He busy making a pot of tea with his rough hands, picked it up and took a sip, and muttered to himself: "Hmph, my attitude is just bad, what can I do? These guests have many problems!"

The wrinkles on his face squeezed together, and there was a sense of arrogant and unreasonableness. His little eyes were full of disdain and dissatisfaction. He kept muttering: "I think it's expensive? I think my attitude is bad? Don't hold on if you have the ability!"

The old man took another sip of tea and put the tea cup heavily on the table, and the tea water splashed out.

"I've been talking to me. I've been running an inn here for many years. No one dares to pick me like this!" He said angrily, his cheeks bulging and his sparse beard trembled.

"Who do you think I am? Do you really treat this as a good place? I can't live in love, so I don't care about serving you!" The old man became more and more angry as he thought about it, his eyes widened, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

He paced back and forth in the room, cursing constantly: "These foreigners are just causing trouble for me, just like them, can I do this business yet!"

Soon, late night came and everything was silent.

Xi Yu gently hugged Tuoba Yu into his arms. He looked at her affectionately and asked softly: "Yu'er, is your body normal?"

Tuoba Yu blushed in an instant, and her fair face was dyed with a blush like the sunset. She nodded slightly, not daring to look directly at Xi Yu's eyes, and replied like a mosquito and flies: "Yes."

She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a slight swelling of butterfly wings, and her pretty appearance was adorable.

Xi Yu saw her so shy and moving, and her heart was even more tender. He gently kissed Tuoba Yu's forehead and whispered in her ear: "Then my Yu'er."

Then, the red candle shook lightly, and the curtain fell, covering up a beautiful room.

Tuoba Yu grabbed Xi Yu's arm tightly, bit his lower lip with his teeth lightly, and his eyes were both nervous and expectant.

Xi Yu is full of love and pity.

After a long time, everything returned to peace.

Xi Yu hugged Tuoba Yu tightly into his arms, and Tuoba Yu's face still had an unretreated blush, like a blooming peach blossom.

She leaned against Xi Yu's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

Xi Yu kissed her hair lightly and said gently: "Yu'er, I will definitely not let you down in this life."

Tuoba Yu raised his head slightly, his eyes flashed with a happy light, and he responded: "I believe in you."

At this moment, outside the inn, a tall man walked panting with a petite woman.

The man's face was tired, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead kept rolling down, and his eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

The woman's face was pale, her long hair was messy and she was gasping for breath.

They were probably too tired to walk, so they both sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The man gasped and said, "This damn road is so long!"

The woman breathed heavily and responded intermittently.

"I...I really...can't walk anymore."

The man looked up at the dark night around him, frowned, and said worriedly: "I don't know if this place is safe."

The woman gasped and her voice trembled: "Don't worry, take a break for a while, I feel that my legs are not my own."

At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the leaves around him rustled. The woman grabbed the man's arm in horror, and her voice was crying: "What's this... what's the sound?"

The man pretended to be calm and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it may be just the wind." But a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

This is a common couple in the Kushan Empire. The man is called Abo and the woman is called Susu.

Abo gasped and looked at Susu and said, "Susu, although it was hard, he finally left the Kushan Kingdom." There was a hint of glee in his eyes, but his brows were still frowning.

Su Su breathed heavily and responded intermittently: "Yes."

A look of relaxation appeared on her pale face, but the shadow of fear remained in her eyes.

Abo looked up at the dark night around him, frowned.

Su Su gasped, her voice trembling: "Don't worry, take a break for a while, I feel that my legs are not my own."

As the night became deeper and colder, Susu hugged her arms tightly, shivering, her lips were a little blue, and she said pitifully: "Abo, I'm so cold, I hope there is a place to live."

Abo looked at Su Su with distress, squatted down without saying a word, and said, "Come on, Su Su, I'll carry you."

Susu lay gratefully on Abo's broad back. Abo held Susu's legs tightly with both hands, stood up, and walked towards the inn step by step.

When they arrived at the entrance of the inn, Abo put down Susu, and the two of them helped each other into the inn lobby.

Hearing the sound, the old man's originally squinting eyes suddenly lit up, his face filled with happy smiles, thinking that business was coming again.

But when he saw clearly that the two people coming in were not from Central Plains, the smile on his face instantly frozen, his brows frowned, and he looked puzzled.

The old man looked up and down at them and asked in a rough voice: "Where are you from?"

Apo replied timidly: "We are from the Kushan Empire."

The old man narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Since that's the case, why did you come to Central China?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes dodged, and they could not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, the old man's face darkened, he raised his voice and asked again: "Did you run out secretly?"

Abo finally lowered his head and pointed it gently, like a child who did something wrong.

The old man was shocked, his eyes widened, and his anger suddenly jumped up, shouting: "How can you run out secretly! You guys hurry up and leave my inn!"

Abo begged, and said in a crying voice: "Please, we finally escaped, so don't drive us out. Besides, don't we just pay, right?"

At this time, Su Su's face became paler and her body was shaking. She leaned weakly on Abo and said weakly: "I am really uncomfortable."

But the old man put his hands on his hips and his beard trembled with anger. He shouted with a strong principle: "No! Get out of here immediately! I can't take in someone like you who are unknown from you!"

Abo hugged Susu tightly, his eyes flushed, and he begged again: "Old sir, please show your compassion. My wife's body is really unbearable. It's so cold outside. Where are you going?"

The old man was unmoved at all, his face turned pale and he said sternly: "Hmph, this is your own business and it has nothing to do with me! I don't want to get into trouble, so leave quickly!"

Su Su couldn't help coughing, her voice weak and trembling: "Cough cough...please..."
