Seen Nothing Like This Chapter 1

The north wind blows over the ground, but the spring breeze does not blow.

It's nearly March, and it's still cold at the border.

The sky could still be blue one moment, but in the blink of an eye, it suddenly changed its face. A dark wind blew, dark clouds gathered, and the sky was dark, like an irreversible shadow, weighing on everyone's hearts.

Preston Yuchi could feel that the speed of the convoy had slowed down significantly. He couldn't help but lift the curtain and stretched his neck to look outside.

The howling wind brought in the sand, and the Elise next to him exclaimed and hurriedly hugged his arm.

"Master Sir, do we still have time to enter the city before dark?"

The charming and melodious voice slightly eased the anxiety in Preston Yuchi's heart. He patted his Elise's thigh symbolically, and the elastic touch came from under the thin material. You can imagine how smooth it would feel after removing the obstructive layer of clothing, but he I have no intention of flirting with my Elise now.

"It should be possible." Preston Yuchi frowned and said uncertainly.

He was originally from the Malcolm Khotan's family. This time, he was ordered by the Malcolm Khotan to go to the Central Plains to pay tribute.

In the Central Plains at this time, the Sui Dynasty had just succeeded the Zhou Dynasty and became an emerging northern dynasty.

Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty was ambitious and worked hard to govern, which made the vitality of this new dynasty shine with infinite brilliance like the rising sun. Even the Chen Dynasty in the south sent envoys to the court to congratulate him.

Although Khotan is located in a corner outside the Great Wall and is a small country, it is often harassed by the Turks and is very annoyed. When the King of Khotan heard that the Sui Dynasty moved to the new capital this year and granted amnesty to the world, he quickly took advantage of this opportunity to send out the following troops. The envoy headed by Preston Yuchi brought heavy gifts to Daxing City to meet the Sui Emperor. On the one hand, they repaired the relationship, and on the other hand, they requested the Sui Dynasty to send troops to protect Khotan.

Who knows that this journey will not be smooth.

After leaving Khotan, when the group passed through Qiemo, the horses in the convoy suddenly fell ill, suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. They finally rested for a few days and set off again. Encountering such bad weather again, Preston Yuchi felt restless and wished he could fly with his wings. Fly to Daxing City.

He couldn't help but glance towards the corner of the carriage again.

There were two boxes and cages stacked there, which contained Preston Yuchi's personal clothes. Because the carriage was spacious and the boxes and cages were not big, Preston Yuchi specially asked people to carry them into his carriage without having to move to the back.

His constant attention was also noticed by his Elise, who smiled sweetly: "Master Sir, could it be that there is a great beauty hidden in that cage?"

Preston Yuchi's tense mood eased slightly due to this joke: "If she is really a beauty, what about you?"

The beautiful Elise said coquettishly: "Then I have no choice but to take the initiative and give up the master!"

Preston Yuchi laughed, hugged her into his arms, and the two of them were skin-to-skin. This quarrel dispelled most of the dark clouds in Yuchi's heart.

"If I tell you, you must not tell anyone else. At least you must not mention it to anyone until we arrive in Daxing City."

The more harshly he spoke, the more curious the Elise became. She pulled Preston Yuchi's sleeves and acted coquettishly, and they had another good time together.

Preston Yuchi then said slowly: "There is a tribute in that box."

The Elise was confused: "Aren't all the tributes put in the carriage at the back?"

Preston Yuchi: "Those are just ordinary objects. Even if they are gold, silver and jewelry, Benedict Emperor is the emperor of a great country. How could he take them seriously?"

The Elise became more and more surprised: "What good things do we have in our small country of Khotan that even the Sui Emperor would be extremely curious about? Could it be rare and beautiful jade?"

Preston Yuchi pinched the other party's pretty face: "Smartness is indeed related to jade, not

Say---This is a gorgeous dividing line---

This is no ordinary jade, but Tianchi jade gallbladder. "

The beautiful Elise exclaimed in shock: "Is that the legendary jade gallbladder that can make people immortal?!"

Before he finished speaking, Yuchi covered his mouth. The beautiful Elise reacted to his stern gaze and hurriedly whispered: "I have lost my temper. This treasure is the national treasure of Khotan, and the king is willing to give it away?"

Preston Yuchi was helpless: "What can I do if I don't want to give up? This time the king wants to form an alliance with the Sui Dynasty, so he must come up with something good to show his sincerity."

Although the Tianchi Jade Gallbladder has the word Tianchi, it has nothing to do with Tianchi. It was accidentally discovered by a woodcutter in the Malcolm Khotan when he was cutting firewood in the mountains. The woodcutter entered the cave by mistake and found this piece of stone resembling the heart of a mountain deep in the cave. Ordinary jade. Legend has it that its whole body is as clear as morning dew, and the center of the stone is a mass of icy blue, like a Tianchi surrounded by snow-covered mountains, hence its name.

The woodcutter dedicated it to the previous generation of King Khotan. It was said that the mother of the King of Khotan was suffering from a strange disease and could not be cured for a long time. He cut off a piece of the jade gallbladder and ground it into jade chips and used it as medicine. Not only did she fully recover, but her skin was as new and her face was rejuvenated. . It is said that the Queen Mother lived until she was over ninety years old and did not die until a few years ago.

As a result, the name of Tianchi Jade Gallbladder spread like wildfire. In the eyes of many people, it can not only restore people's youth, but also treat difficult and complicated diseases, and cut muscles and cleanse marrow for martial arts practitioners. Naturally, everyone covets such a treasure, but it is a pity that Khotan regards it as a national treasure. No one knows where the King of Khotan keeps it. The Turks are eyeing the small country of Khotan, and there must be some reason for this jade gallbladder.

The King of Khotan was not a fool. He still understood the reason why he was guilty of carrying a jade. Compared with the destruction of the country and the destruction of his family, a piece of jade was certainly not that important. It was better to offer it to the Sui Emperor to ask for asylum than to have it taken away by the Turks. .

After hearing the whole story, the beautiful Elise couldn't help but be speechless: "But Sir, is it really okay for such a precious treasure to be escorted by just a few people all the way?"

Preston Yuchi smiled and said: "Don't underestimate the few people outside. They are all top experts around the king. Almost all of them have been sent here this time. The less conspicuous they look, the better."

After thinking for a while, he warned again: "You know this and I know it, and we must never let it reach the ears of a third person again."

The beautiful Elise nodded repeatedly: "I know the benefits. If it is leaked, this trip will inevitably be life-threatening. Naturally, the fewer people know about it, the better."

Preston Yuchi stroked her black hair and said with satisfaction: "You have been with me for four or five years, and I have always known that you are the most sensible. But you don't have to worry too much. When we enter the city, Benedict Emperor will definitely send someone to escort us. When you enter Beijing, you will be safe and worry-free."

As the two whispered, the wind became stronger and stronger, with sand and snow, and the sturdy carriage shook slightly, making an overwhelming sound.

Preston Yuchi lost interest in talking, pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The Elise tightened her grip on his clothes, almost shrinking into his arms and not daring to move.

Amidst the howling wind, Preston Yuchi seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves approaching from far away.

The team that was still moving quickly in this kind of weather was unlikely to be a caravan that cared about life and money. Maybe it was the envoy sent by the Sui Emperor to meet them.

Preston Yuchi perked up and said to his Elise, "I'll go outside and have a look..."

The car curtain was opened, and the guard poked half his head in from the outside and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lang, the wind and sand are too strong. Let's go to the front to take shelter ---"

Changes happen in an instant.

It only took a moment for Preston Yuchi to go from being unhappy about being disturbed by the guards to opening his eyes in shock.

He watched helplessly as there was a flash of blood, the guard's head flew up, hit the roof of the car, and then

Say---This is a gorgeous dividing line---

It fell heavily and rolled several times on the white wool felt. The remaining blood dyed Wu Xia bright red, and finally rolled to the feet of Preston Yuchi.

The scream of his Elise reached his ears, but it became so distant at this moment. He felt as if his ears were covered with gauze, hazy and unable to hear clearly.

A chill hit his face, and he shuddered. His heart was already anxiously roaring, urging him to dodge, but his body, which had been pampered for so long, couldn't keep up with the reaction, until a sharp and piercing pain came from his chest.

Preston Yuchi's vision was covered in blood-red sky.

It turns out that a person goes from birth to death so quickly.

That was his last thought before he collapsed.

...

The snow is falling, enough to cover all the filth in the world.

However, it is only a temporary cover. Once the clouds clear and the snow clears, the filth will be revealed again.

There are some ugliness in the world that even heavy snow cannot cover.

The dried blood turned black and mixed with the snow. At first glance, it looked like rocks emerging from the snow.

Horses that had been dead for a long time were lying on the ground, the carriage overturned beside them, and several heads were half buried in the snow. It looked like they had been dead for a long time.

The sound of horse hooves comes from far to near.

Dozens of horsemen came galloping through the snow. The ice mist and snowflakes kicked up by the horses' hooves were mixed with each other, and clouds of hazy smoke were released.

The leader was wearing a sable fur coat, which covered his head tightly. Only the robe fluttered in the wind and made a hunting sound.

The dozen or so people behind were wrapped even more tightly, and even their cuffs were tied tightly. No one wanted to expose their skin to the annoying wind and snow.

They seemed to have foreseen the accident before them. Instead of showing any surprise or fear, they dismounted their horses and stepped forward, bending down to take a look.

A corpse was lying on the snow, with most of its back covered by snow. Only a section of its neck, which was almost the same color as the ice and snow, was exposed. A wound extended from the throat to the back of the neck. The skin and flesh were exposed, and the bones were deeply visible. The neck was almost cut in half. , showing the strength of the murderer.

A hand hidden under the sable fur stretched out.

This hand is white and slender, and the joints wrapped in thin skin are neither jagged nor bloated, but just right, like a graceful and stretched bamboo. Without any fancy moves, people can't help but focus on it. Such a pair of hands cannot be cultivated without being born into the ultimate wealth in the world.

But the owner of the hand did not avoid dirt. He grabbed a handful of blood-stained ice and snow and rubbed it for a moment, then let go. The remaining snow fell from his fingers and lingered on the fur of his clothes.

The man looked down and frowned slightly.

The catcher next to him was worried that he had no chance to curry favor with this big shot from the capital. Upon seeing this, he quickly took out a clean handkerchief and stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Little man, there is a veil here, you---"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the other party taking off the entire mink fur cloak and throwing it back!

Under the stunned gazes of the catchers, the man's cloak was caught by the young man behind him.

Cedric Pei showed a slight wry smile: "Lang Jun..."

"Take it." The man said calmly.

Without the cover of the cloak, his robes were directly exposed to the wind and snow. His jade crown was white and his wide sleeves danced wildly.

Bystanders felt their teeth chattering when they looked at it, but the man's expression did not change, he bent down and continued to look at the corpse.
