Chitose words

Ling You looked at Xie Zhao quietly and raised his doubts.

"But there are 36 tribes in Hanyong, and it is said that there are still a few tribes from the Northern Dynasties scattered freely outside Luoming Pass because they do not respect the imperial power of Hanyong.

How do we know which tribe the people who sneaked into Zhaoge City and acted secretly were from? "

The way the Hanyong Dynasty ruled the Northern Dynasty was completely different from that of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty.

Although the Tianchen Dynasty had 48 counties, the land south of the Ming River and north of the Wulan Mountains was all royal territory.

The imperial power of Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty was relatively highly centralized.

But Hanyong in the Northern Dynasties was different.

The Hanyong Dynasty was a powerful and warlike nomadic nation and political power. It was composed of 36 large tribes and several small tribes within the country.

Although the leaders of the 36 tribes have all sworn to defend Guangling City, the imperial court of Hanyong.However, the autonomy between each tribe is extremely high, and each has independent military and political power, population, property, cattle and horses.

This is also true. Although Ling You knew long ago that the mysterious power came from Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, he had no way of starting.

Because he had no idea which tribe among the 36 tribes should be investigated first.

If a large tribe committed private crimes in order to steal the secrets of the Tianchen Dynasty to strengthen their tribe's power.So even the Imperial Court of Hanyong may not know what is going on.

Therefore, before, Ling You could only start with the relevant people who had handled this matter in Tianchen Court.

See if the people involved in this matter in the Southern Dynasty court know any more specific information for him to use as clues.

Xie Zhao's tone was calm and calm.

Whenever she talks about serious things, she always gives people an extraordinarily reliable and calm "heavy feeling".

"The mastermind who was able to set up such a big game and plot to assassinate a figure like 'Shaoguang Mace Immortal' was naturally extremely powerful.

So in my opinion, ordinary small tribes do not have such skills and abilities.

If we want to find clues, it would be best to start with the three largest tribes in the Northern Dynasties. What do you think? "

Ling You frowned and looked at her.

"The three largest tribes in the Northern Dynasties? You mean the Yuwen tribe, the Achina tribe, and the Hutuo tribe?"

As we all know, the Yuwen tribe, the Achina tribe, and the Hutuo tribe were the heads of the 36 Hanyong tribes in the Northern Dynasties.

These three top tribes not only have a long history in Hanyong in the Northern Dynasties, but also have strong power.He has been intermarried with the Tuoba family of the Hanyong royal family for generations, and they are closely dependent on each other.

According to the ancient ritual traditions of the Hanyong Dynasty in the Northern Dynasties, the queen of the Hanyong Imperial Court must come from one of these three major clan tribes.

Among the three great sword immortals in the world, the "Lone Wolf Sword Immortal" Yu Wenxin, who has now entered the realm of immortals, is a direct descendant of Prince Yuwenbu, a noble of the Northern Dynasties.

His biological mother was even more prominent. She was a princess of the Tuoba family of the Hanyong royal family.

Han Changsheng also crossed his arms and started thinking.

"But. Even so, the Northern Dynasty is so vast.

Even if we go straight to the royal tents of the three major tribes, we are still far apart from each other.

If we investigate the three major tribes of Han and Yong one by one, we may be discovered before we can find out the truth, right? "

Xie Zhao gently raised his chin and gestured to the teapot in the distance.

"Here."

She had just been talking for a while, and now her throat was already a little dry and uncomfortable.

A choking smell of blood surged up into her throat along her internal organs. The feeling was truly indescribable.

Han Changsheng said "Ah" belatedly and obediently stood up and poured a cup of hot tea from the table behind him and handed it to her.

Despite his usual quarrels and bickering with Xie Zhao, he never stops for a moment and never gives in to "fighting for every inch of land", but he is very soft in his heart.

Xie Zhao took the tea cup and took a sip of hot tea in his throat first, and drank it in no hurry.

She suppressed the blood that came up under her tongue, stood up and spit out the rust-colored tea in the basin in front of the collapse, and then said:

“Among the three major tribes of Han and Yong, the Hutuo tribe has a large population, but it is the least proficient at fighting;
The Achina tribe took refuge in Yusang Mountain, a cold place in the north of the Great Wall, and could not escape unless they fought.

Such interlocking machinations, which could bring the most powerful masters of the Southern Dynasties into the palm of their hands, I think about it, it doesn't look like the style of the Achina tribe;
Therefore, our first choice for exploration should be the Yuwen tribe of the tribe that has been settled in the Arruo grassland for generations, closest to Guangling City, the capital of the Northern Dynasties, and closest to the Imperial Court of Hanyong. "

Han Changsheng said thoughtfully: "Don't say it yet, it sounds like your inference is quite reasonable."

Xie Zhao looked at him with a smile and said: "This is not just my personal inference.

The three of us entered the Northern Dynasty, just like clouds and mud entering the river and sea. We cannot be too careful.Naturally, I only make this statement if I have reliable information. "

Ling You raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"What reliable information?"

Xie Zhao said with a smile: "I found out that the thief who sneaked into Zhaoge once dropped a token in the Nightless City.

The token has a tiger head with wings and strange carvings, not from the Central Plains. "

Ling or thought slightly.

"Tiger head with wings? That's Qiongqi. Could it be the family emblem of the Yuwen Department?"

He looked at Xie Zhao, a trace of inquiry flashing in his eyes.

"There must be very few people who know this level of information. Where did you find it? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Obviously Xie Zhao didn't know about it before yesterday, otherwise she would not have communicated this useful information to them in advance before they went to Bai Dadu Governor's Mansion to investigate.Ling You frowned and looked at Xie Zhao, who looked even more haggard and uglier than yesterday after sleeping all night, and there was a hint of suspicion in his heart.

"You were out last night," he asserted.

This is hardly a question, but a statement.

Han Changsheng was stunned and subconsciously looked at the two of them.
"Going out? Who? Ah Zhao? Wasn't she sleepy last night and went to bed early?"

You know, after Han Changsheng had a "quarrel" with Xie Zhao yesterday, when he returned to his room, he couldn't think of anything and was so angry that he decided to come to Xie Zhao to make it clear. Hanging high.

However, when he passed by Xie Zhao's door, he found that her window was completely dark. He also remembered that she had been talking about being sleepy since she came back from the Governor's Mansion in Bai Da, so he thought she had fallen asleep and could only return to him the way he came. The room also went to sleep.

Could it be that she didn't sleep?Ran out again?
"Hey?! Okay!"

Han Changsheng was speechless, looking quite speechless.

"Azhao, you have been acting weird and wild since you entered Zhaoge City!
In the past, you worked at sunrise and rested at sundown every day, and the only thing closest to you was your wooden bed.

How come after coming to Zhaoge, I have developed a new bad habit of staying out at night? This is not good. "

"What kind of mess is it all?"

Xie Zhao helplessly tucked the quilt that had slipped off his shoulders and said:

"I just felt a little sleepy after chatting with you last night, so I went out for a walk.

Zhaoge City is under martial law at night under the emperor's feet. What fun can I have? "

"Take a walk?"

Ling You said calmly: "The guards who avoided patrolling the streets after the curfew took a casual walk and happened to bring back the clues we need most at this time. You are really lucky."

He calmly glanced at Xie Zhao, who was rarely speechless, and suddenly frowned and asked:

"I just suddenly remembered that your pulse was weak and weak. Could it be that you had a fight with someone last night?"

Xie Zhao looked at him in astonishment and immediately retorted:
"How is that possible? Are you kidding me? With my three-legged cat's kung fu and skills, if I fight against others in Zhaoge City, am I going to lose my life?"

Ling You frowned and looked at the girl in front of him. He didn't say anything for a while, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

After a moment, he said: "It's good that you know."

Xie Zhao smiled.

"I know, I naturally still have this self-awareness."

Han Changsheng suddenly remembered something and wondered: "Huh? No, you just said, 'The three of us will enter the Northern Dynasty'? Did you mean that we won't take An An with us this time?"

As soon as his words came out of his mouth, he immediately reacted.

Yes, if they go to Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, a place where hair and blood drink, they will encounter countless dangers along the way.

It is indeed difficult for a weak woman like Yu An'an, who is weak, quiet and has no martial arts skills, to travel with her.

Although Xie Zhao is not good at kung fu, her light kung fu is top-notch.

What's more, she is very clever. Even if there is any unfavorable situation, if they can't defeat her, they may still be able to escape by running separately.

But if they bring along Yu Anan, who has no knowledge of martial arts, how can they guarantee that they can take care of her if she encounters any danger?

That’s really what “the sky doesn’t respond to, and the earth doesn’t work”.

Ling You frowned and said: "We really shouldn't take An An to danger, but we also promised that Madam Tai will take care of An An during this period.

Although the Li Mansion looks wealthy and kind now, the Li family's thoughts are unpredictable. We cannot leave An An here. "

Old God Xie Zhao smiled thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows slightly and said:

"Who said I would leave An An in Zhaoge City?"

Ling or slightly startled.

"what do you mean"

Xie Zhao raised one corner of his lips and smiled slyly.

"It suddenly occurred to me that there might be a place where we could pause before we enter the Northern Dynasty, and leave An An there until we return."

Ling or frowned.

"Where is a safe place?"

Xie Zhao smiled.

"It's natural and safe. It's definitely much safer than letting An An sleep in the open with the three of us, living in precarious conditions."

Han Changsheng was curious.

"Really or not? Where on earth is it? Don't be so secretive and tell me quickly."

Xie Zhao looked at the peach tree outside the window, which was bathed in sunlight and had almost lost all its leaves, and said slowly:
"Zhongzhou Ruian, on the coast of the East China Sea."

Ling Yu paused slightly and looked at her.

"Donglin City?"

Xie Zhao chuckled and nodded.

"Donglin City."
