Liangzhou is also known as Western Liang. It is located in the northwest border of the Great Wei territory. Its capital is Dunhuang Prefecture.

Outside the Dunhuang Prefecture City, there is a world-famous Buddha cave, including tens of thousands of statues of Bodhisattvas and Buddha statues, as well as flying sky, Galan, Arhat, Venerable, Ming King, Heavenly King, and Vajra. More than 180 miles west of Dunhuang Prefecture, there is a small Fangpan City. Speaking of small Fangpan City, unless local people in Xiliang, people from other places have rarely heard of this name, but if they mention another name, they may not know it.

There is a saying: "The green river is far away and the white clouds are everywhere, and there is an isolated city of thousands of feet high mountains. Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze does not cross Yumen Pass." This is what it means.

Yumen Pass, also known as Xiaofangpancheng, is the throat of Liangzhou. It is located in the Gobi Desert 200 miles northwest of Dunhuang City. The city is square, with loess built up, three zhang high, one zhang wide above, two zhang wide below, eight zhang long from east to west, and nine zhang wide from north to south.

After the fall of Liangzhou, the place changed its owners and became a stronghold of Wudao Sect. It was not a question of resisting the Badu Khan army in the northwest. It was more of a checkpoint to collect taxes on caravans. After all, Yumen Pass was a must-pass place from the Central Plains to the Western Regions.

Speaking of the countries in the Western Regions, it is more appropriate to describe them as fence-skinned. When the Central Plains dynasty was at its peak, the Western Regions countries surrendered to the Central Plains dynasty, and the Central Plains dynasty also established the Western Regions Protectorate, the Anxi Protectorate, and the Beiting Protectorate. When the Central Plains dynasty was weak, the Western Regions countries surrendered to the Jin Tent and respected the Golden Horde King.

Of course, the Great Wei court today cannot say "shen" and it is still too late to take care of itself. Even Liangzhou, which leads to the Western Regions, has been lost, let alone the Western Regions countries. Therefore, the Western Regions are now surrendering to the Jin Tent Royal Court. But because of the civil strife of the royal court, the Jin Horde's control over the Western Regions has been greatly weakened, and the Western Regions countries have acted on their own. In addition, many Jin Tent nobles fled to the Western Regions to avoid the war, and the Jianghu people who came from the Central Plains to the Western Regions because of the appearance of Yuxu Doujian and Xuandu Zifu, made the Western Regions more and more chaotic.

For the Central Plains, the rivers and lakes in the Western Regions are really unremarkable. The only sects are the Zhenchuan Sect and the Vajra Sect. In addition, the Daxue Mountains where the grassland shamans are located and the Kunlun Mountains where the Daomen's ancestors are located are still famous in the Central Plains. Below the sect, the Daxue Mountain Sect originated from Daxue Mountain. Similar to the Shushan Sword Sect in Shuzhou, they are both top sects in the sects, with strong strength and no less than many weak sects. However, their prosperity lasts for a short time and they cannot be promoted from the sect. Corresponding to the Daxue Mountain Sect, there is also a small snowy mountain sect in Liaodong, which is completely attached to the Butian Sect in Liaodong. The gate is located on Taibai Mountain, not far from the Great Wilderness North Palace.

In addition to the two sects and one sect, most of the remaining people are scattered people in the world. Among them, the most famous one is Ning Yi, who scattered countless horse thieves across the Western Regions, and later became the co-lord of horse thieves in the Western Regions. In addition to the name "Blood Sword", Ning Yi was also named alongside the Zifu Sword Immortal and was known as the "East and East-West Evil", which means that one of them is in Qizhou, Heshuo and other places in the east, and the other is in the northwest, Western Regions and other places. They are all first-class evil stars, killing people without blinking.

Later, both sides won the sword in the northwest, and became famous at the same time, and successively ranked on the Taixuan List. At that time, many people in the martial arts world predicted that many years later, the two would definitely have a battle.

But no one expected that many years later, these two evil stars not only did not fight, but instead joined the Taiping Sect. One left the Qingwei Sect and became the sect leader of the Taiping Sect, and the other left the Female Sect and became the Taiping Sect, which became a major guest in the world.

Even the Western Regions have heard of it. Many people in the Western Regions have speculated about what kind of sect this Taiping Sect is and what kind of magic power it has, which is so attractive? Although there is a legend that the Jiangyang thieves put down the butcher sword in the Zhenchuan Sect and became a Buddha, the Jiangyang thieves are still small compared to the "Blood Sword" and are not worth mentioning. It was not until many people in the Central Plains came to the Western Regions that those people suddenly realized that it was the Taiping Sect, which was the first rich sect in the Central Plains. To put it bluntly, it was rich! But what people in the Western Regions trusted the most was money, and they valued the most was money, so they understood everything. It was not the Buddha who could let the "Blood Sword" put down the butcher sword.

Because the northwest is mostly Gobi grassland, visiting wild sand has become commonplace. Today, another huge sandstorm has come to Yumen Pass. The sky is dim and it is difficult to distinguish the boundaries between heaven and earth. The yellow sand is vast and the wind is howling. It is not clear from the east, south, west, and north, and it is not up, down, left and right.

The merchants coming and going from Yumen Pass to hide in the wine shop. The wine shop had already closed the doors and windows, and only the dense sand was heard hitting the windows, and the sounds on the walls and roofs were endless.

Until this time, the merchants no longer had a hurry and spent some money to get some good wine shipped from Qinzhou. They started drinking slowly. In their spare time, they would chat with their companions or friends they knew. Anyway, God kept people, and it would be useless to be anxious.

The largest wine shop in Yumenguan is called "Chunfeng Restaurant". You can tell at a glance that it comes from "Chunfeng does not cross Yumenguan". The shopkeeper here is a woman, who looks only 26 or 27 to 30 years old. She is dressed with a phoenix eye, willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry mouth, beautiful appearance and graceful figure. She is just a place of water and water-raising people. Unlike the gentle and water-like women in the south of the Yangtze River, the women in the northwest always carry a bold, rough and bold like the Gobi grassland.

Such a beautiful woman dares to open a wine shop in Yumenguan, a mixed bag, and is still the biggest wine shop. Naturally, she has good skills. Although the guests who come and go to look at the shopkeeper openly or secretly, they will enjoy it, at most they will make jokes and say some dirty jokes, but no one dares to touch her.

At this time, the female shopkeeper was lowering her head to keep the books behind the counter, making the abacus crackle.

The inn door was opened by the guest, and two guests squeezed in through the gap. The guest quickly closed the door and put a horizontal piece of wood on the door to prevent it from being blown open by the sandstorm. Even so, a lot of wind and sand entered the lobby, which caused a burst of insult.

The two people who came in were wrapped tightly, with only a pair of eyes exposed, not to cover their faces, but to prevent wind and sand. Judging from their figures, they should be a man and a woman.

The man came to the counter and asked in pure Dawei Mandarin, "What's the business recently?"

The shopkeeper stared at the account book, and said with mercy: "Sure."

The man asked again: "How much is the price of a day stay?"

The shopkeeper said: "If the guest stays in a hotel, he will only have two taels of silver for three meals a day."

"Two taels of silver?" The man emphasized his tone slightly: "Is it too expensive?"

The shopkeeper still had no intention of raising his head, and his tone was not fluctuating at all: "The price has always been like this. If the customer thinks it is expensive, he can stay there. Our store will never force it."

The man felt that these words were familiar and seemed to have heard them somewhere before, so he looked at the female shopkeeper and asked, "Where is the shopkeeper? He can't be from Luzhou?"

The female shopkeeper finally raised his head, a little impatient, "Want to get close to it? Even if we are the eight-day friends who kill the chicken head, the money for accommodation cannot be lost. In addition, I would like to remind you that this sandstorm can't stop for a while. If you can't hold on, you can go out to eat sand."

At this moment, the woman standing beside the man softly spoke, "It's not expensive, two taels are just two taels."

The wine shop, also called the inn lobby, is not much or less, and there are twenty tables, all of which are full of people, some are drinking silently, and some are talking loudly, which is very lively.

Most of these customers are dressed up by merchants, but there are many horse thieves in it. In fact, whether they are merchants or horse thieves, they are either good people. Even if they are merchants, it is common for them to eat bad things after entering the uninhabited Gobi Desert.

After hearing the woman's voice, many eyes looked over and fell on the tightly wrapped woman without hiding her desires. After all, a woman with such a nice voice should not be too bad in appearance.

The shopkeeper lowered his head again, took a thick booklet and looked through it, "You are lucky, there is only one room left."

The man said, "I'm lucky if I have only one room left?"

The shopkeeper said lightly: "You came later, not even this room."

The woman had already taken out a Taiping money, but she did not mean to give it to the shopkeeper. Instead, she used her nails to divide the Taiping money into two halves, half on the counter, and the other half was thrown away.

The next moment, a sweat with the most unscrupulous look on her face, and the half of Taiping Money was embedded on her forehead.

The woman's voice was still soft and weak, "I'll hit you in the eye next time."

Many guests immediately knew that the couple was not ordinary people, so they immediately withdrew their gaze, but the great man's companion stood up suddenly and wanted to draw his sword.

The shopkeeper looked at the woman with interest, and his tone was still calm, "I want to fight outside. If I want to fight in the inn, it's okay, but I have to pay more. If I break my gold-wire and sandalwood tables and chairs, I will be compensated ten times the market price."

Nan, Zhang, Zi and Tong are known as the four famous trees, among which nanmu is the first, and golden nanmu is the first among nanmu. It can be imagined how precious it is, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a piece of wood and every gold.

The woman looked at the worn tables and chairs that were not related to the golden nanmu and smiled and said, "If the tables and chairs are broken, I will compensate a hundred times more."

After the words came, she threw a string of Taiping money on the counter, and at the same time, she didn't see her move. Several of the big man's companions groaned and fell softly, but they didn't have the power to fight back. Only a big man covering his forehead was left with no idea whether to advance or retreat, and was at a loss.

The woman stretched out a slender jade finger and was about to click him, but the man who was walking with her said, "Okay, stop making trouble."
