Even if the other party was not an associate of... Even if the other party was not an associate of the Red Flower Society, as long as he knew the phrase and asked for help, he would receive itBut all was quiet in the roomXin Yan repeated his call, and the door creaked open and a figure dressed in black with a large hat pulled down low came out and gave him a letter
"Give this to your Master Yu
Xin Yan took the letter and the figure rsn out of the inn, jumped onto a horse and galloped awayHe gave the letter to Yu who opened it and found the following written inside:
"What do ugliness and beauty have to do with true love? I will follow you even over a thousand mountains and ten thousand riversAnd tell your Great Helmsman that the Three Devils of Guandong are on their way to the Muslim regions to get their revenge on Huo Qingtong for killing their martial brother Recognising the calligraphy as being that of Li Yuanzhi, he frowned and handed the sheet to Chen
Chen studiously ignored the first sentence, which obviously dealt with private romantic affairsBut he immediately informed the others of
knockoff gucci handbags the news about the Three Devils of Guandong
"They are tough fighters," said Wen"I wonder if she can handle them?"
"We once watched Mistress Huo fighting with that Guangdong Devil, Yan Shizhang, and she proved herself to be a little better than him," Xu replied"But if the Great Helmsman hadn't stepped in to save her, I'm afraid she would have fallen victim to his evil tricks
"The eldest of the Devils, Tang Yilei, is very strong, a formidable man," said Wen
"Since the Three Devils are already on their way, it would be best if someone went on ahead on Sister Luo Bing's horse," Xu suggested"From the look of things, the military situation in the Muslim regions is tense, and Master Muzhuolun and his people must be busy making defensive preparationsWe shouldn't let Mistress Huo be caught unawares by the Three Devils Chen knew he was right, and he frowned silently
"Great Helmsman, I think it would be best if you went on ahead," said Xu"You speak the Muslim language, your kung fu is good, and the Three Devils have never seen you beforeIf General Zhao

Chen was extremely concerned at the news that the Three Devils of Guandong were out to get Huo QingtongThe image of her gradually disappearing into the dust of the Great Desert forced its way into his mind once more, but remembering how familiar she had been with Master Lu's pupil, he decided that he was fooling himself about her feelings for himBut he was unable to forget her image
The white horse was extraordinarily fast, and in less than two days he arrived at Jiayu Fortress, the western end of the Great WallHe climbed up onto the battlements and looked out at the Wall snaking away into the distance, holding at bay the great wildernessHe felt a sense of excitement at the thought of once more entering the border regions, and followed custom by throwing a stone at the wallThe sandstorms outside the Wall were perilous, the way would be hard, and according to tradition, if a traveller threw a

He travelled by day, rested by nightAfter he had passed the Jade Gate and Anxi, the desert changed colour gradually from pale to dark yellow, and then slowly turned to grey as he skirted the GobiThe region was uninhabited, containing nothing but endless expanses of broad desert
He passed through the Stellar Gorge, the main link between Gansu Province and the Muslim regionsIt was already winter and the first accumulations of snow coud be seen along the gorge, providing a thrilling contrast of black and white
"What a perfect place for an ambush," Chen thought
That night, he lodged in a small hut and the next day found himself at the edge of the Gobi desertThe Gobi was as flat as a mirror, completely different from a sandy desert with its rolling dunesGazing into the distance, it seemed to him as if the sky and earth touched one anotherAll was silent, and it seemed as if he and his horse were the only beings in the universe

But he met no Muslims on the roadThe Muslim villages and dwellings he came upon were all burnt to the ground, obviously the good work of General Zhao Wei's armyHe decided he was unlikely to meet any Muslims on the main highway, so he cut off south, and headed into the mountainsIn such desolate wilderness, there was little chance of finding any settlement, and after three days, his dry rations were finishedBut luckily, he managed to catch and kill a goat
Two days further on, he met a number of Kazakh
