Sui He sniffed hard near Wei Yunlan and said, "There is no smell."
She was the one who arranged the young lady's clothes. Since she set out on the journey to the northwest, she had never used incense again, in order to avoid the smell attracting wild animals or causing unnecessary trouble when hiding.
In Shahe City, where this pair of black-haired and black-eyed people have inexplicable "malicious intentions", they are extra careful and will never make the mistake of leaving behind any scent.
Where did the parrot get that smell from?
Wei Yunlan vaguely guessed something.
The "fragrance" from the parrot's mouth may not be a real smell that the nose can smell, but more likely a certain scent on her body that only animals can sense. Just like the melting snow before, and the animals she met along the way earlier, most of them had a desire to get close to her.
This is the instinct of animals. In addition to feeling that Wei Yunlan has no intention of harming them, this "closeness" is mostly due to Wei Yunlan's connection with space, and his body seems to be tainted with some special aura of space.
Seeing that Wei Yunlan didn't seem to be rejecting it, the parrot took advantage of the situation and moved closer, "The bird follows you."
"Miss Wei, how about letting it follow?" Zou Yun said, "Hide it well, don't let those people from Yanzhao Country find it, it may be useful in the future."
The main thing is that this parrot is very smart.
It would be a pity to kill it with one knife, but if I let it run away, I'm afraid it will fly somewhere else and talk nonsense. It's better to keep it and kill it with one knife when it becomes disobedient.
Sensing the murderous intent that flashed across Zou Yun's eyes, the parrot folded its wings and moved closer to Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan moved it away a little, looked into its eyes and said seriously: "You can stay if you want, but we have three rules."
I don't know if the parrot could understand what the three rules meant, but it stared with its little eyes and listened attentively.
"First, when there are outsiders here, you are not allowed to talk or make any noise." Wei Yunlan pointed at the people in the room at the moment, "Except for the people here, everyone else is considered an outsider."
"Second, you are not allowed to leave our sight. If you need to hide, you must cooperate with us to hide."
“Third…you cannot repeat what we said to anyone.
"If you can't do it, we won't give you another chance to leave alive." As if to cooperate with Wei Yunlan's words, Heiyun, who was standing aside, bared his teeth at the little parrot threateningly.
Those small, wide-open eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes confused.
Wei Yunlan said to Sang Ji, "Tell it again."
"Ah?" Sang Ji was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Okay, okay."
After saying this, he slowly repeated it to the parrot in the language commonly used in Mosan and the northwestern countries.
The confusion finally disappeared from those little eyes that were trying hard to stare.
"Did you understand?"
The parrot can understand this tone of inquiry without having to repeat it in other languages.
He immediately flapped his wings and kept saying, "Obedience bird!"
"The birds listen to you!"
"Then hide in the basket first." Wei Yunlan pointed to the basket where the parrot had hidden before.
The grey parrot looked at Wei Yunlan aggrievedly, but thinking of the "three rules" just now, it obeyed and returned to the basket obediently, allowing Wei Yunlan to cover the basket with the cloth.
"We have to get ready to leave." Zou Yun glanced at the movement outside and saw that Yan Zhaoguo's convoy had already passed through the city gate and left.
There were several convoys following behind.
The only ones leaving the city at this time were foreign merchant caravans. Most of the city guards were busy deploying defenses along the city walls. Only two people checked on the merchant caravans leaving the city. They took a quick glance at them and then let them pass one by one.
During the few days they stayed in the city, Wei Yunlan and his party had already made many preparations for leaving the city.
Soon, two carriages pulled by llamas drove out of the deserted dark alley one after another. The first one was driven by Sangji and the second one was driven by Wang Lu.
Among the people, he had the most white in his eyes. At first glance in the dim light of the evening, it was hard to tell whether it was black or brown.
The remaining four people were sitting in two carriages. Jars and cans filled with mulberry wine and llama cheese were piled beside them. No matter how you looked at it, this was a small caravan coming to Mosan to "purchase goods."
The basket containing the parrot was placed at Wei Yunlan's feet.
The guards guarding the city gate glanced over it briefly and didn't pay any attention to it.
There were only wine jars and people in the carriage, and there was no other place to hide.
"Let it go." The city guard who was checking the first car raised his hand first, urging Sang Ji, who was driving the car, "Go faster and don't block the road."
"Let's go, let's go!" Sang Ji responded and hurriedly drove the car out. He suppressed the urge to look back, but his heart was beating fast.
The people are fine, but the black dog in the car behind must not be discovered by the city guards!
The worrying thing did not happen.
Sang Ji had just driven the car a few steps when he heard another voice of "release" from behind. Apparently, the car that Wei Yunlan was in had also passed the guards' inspection and could leave Shahe City.
The troops leaving the city passed through the city gate one after another.
Wei Yunlan's two cars were in the later position, with only two other convoys behind them.
Not long after they walked out, they noticed that the west gate was closed again after the two teams left.
It was clearly not yet nightfall, but the city gates were closed early.
Looking back at the closed city gate from a distance, Wang Lu turned his head and said to the carriage, "Miss Wei guessed right. There have indeed been changes in Shahe City."
"Fortunately we left early, otherwise it would have been difficult to leave at night."
According to the defense situation they had observed previously, it would be difficult to even climb over the wall at night, let alone pass through the city gate openly.
In the carriage, Wei Yunlan responded softly.
His eyes fell on a shadow at the corner between two large wine jars. As soon as he thought about it, he saw two figures, one black and one white, standing up from the shadows and rubbing towards him, wagging their tails.
It was the black cloud and snow melt that were temporarily collected into the space when the city guards were inspecting just now.
Smelling their scent that suddenly disappeared and reappeared, the parrot hiding in the basket gently pecked open the cloth covering its head, exposed its head, and looked towards them.
A pair of little eyes were full of envy and yearning.
Wei Yunlan saw all these expressions.
But now, it is far from the time to put it into the space, and this little guy has not won everyone's trust.
"Miss Wei."
At this time, the first car slowed down and drove side by side with the car where Wei Yunlan was. Sang Ji turned his head and lowered his voice and said to the inside of the car,
"The two brothers who bought the pair of bowls at noon are in the convoy behind."
