Chitose words

To Xie Zhao's surprise, a few days later, when the dresses from Qinshe's embroidery workshop were finished, it was not the suspicious Ning Po who came to measure her body last time, but Qin. The chief steward of the She family's house came to the door in person.

After the dress was finished, Xiujinfang presented it to Qinshe Baojia, the head of the family, for inspection. After Qinshe Baojia personally inspected it, he arranged for his trusted steward to take it directly. He came to Yitaluo Mansion and presented it to Xie Zhao.

The five sets of Xijiang dresses sent today are really exquisite and beautiful. It can be seen that Qinshe Baojia has indeed instructed the embroiderers below to work carefully and conscientiously.

The background colors of the fabrics of several pieces of clothing are not too extreme or eye-catching. One set is cloud white, one set is stone green, one set is azure blue, one set is purple, and one set is black gold.

The color is considered restrained, low-key and elegant, but not overly colorful.

——And that black and gold dress is dyed with a rare and rare color. It is calm but not dull, and it is low-key and has an indescribable luxury and nobility.

Under the sun, there is a faint light golden texture in the black dress, which is really a mysterious and eye-catching color.

The styles of several pieces of clothing are relatively more conservative than traditional Western Xinjiang women's skirts and robes.

Although the arms are exposed, the graceful and beautiful long gauze is connected to the arms. It can be seen that the person who made the tattoo has fully considered the feelings of the foreigners and designed it very thoughtfully.

An embroidered dress with such complicated work would definitely require many embroiderers to work tirelessly for many days before it could be finished.

Even Xie Zhao, who was used to seeing good things, could not help but sigh in his heart at this time.

This is really a waste of money.

But Qinshe Baojia was so kind that it was hard to resist, and she had already rejected him several times. No matter how much she talked, she would inevitably be disrespectful, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Please thank the steward Qinshe and all the embroiderers for me when you return home. Such exquisite dresses and robes are as beautiful as handicrafts. The craftsmanship of the Qinshe family in Xijiang is well-deserved, and it is really amazing."

The chief steward of Qinshe Mansion looked flattered and said hurriedly:

"You're welcome. The person in charge of this mansion said that as long as Xie Yilu is satisfied."

Xie Zhao nodded politely with a smile, then looked behind the person in charge as if unintentionally, and asked again:
"Oh, by the way, why didn't the chief embroiderer who came to measure me last time come with the chief steward this time?"

The steward of Qinshe Mansion said respectfully: "Back to Yilu, Mrs. Ning still has many unfinished products on hand, so the person in charge sent an old slave to deliver five sets of finished clothes to Yilu for viewing.

There will be a few more sets in the process of being embroidered in the future, and the embroiderers in our Embroidery Brocade Workshop are currently embroidering them. "

Xie Zhao was stunned.

what?
and also?

But when she saw the happy and respectful look on the face of the chief steward of the Qinshe family, she knew that even if she declined politely, it would be ineffective.

In the hearts of the children of the major clans in Western Xinjiang, the words of the person in charge of the family are the "imperial edict". She simply smiled and shook her head slightly, and did not mention this issue again.

Not long after the chief steward of Qinshe Mansion left, Bo Xi returned.

Most of the time, this nominal deputy envoy of the Hulu Shrine is like a silent mural.

She always followed Xie Zhao within arm's reach in a quiet manner that would never disturb others.

It was as if she could hear Xie Zhao's call anytime and anywhere, just like when she followed the Holy Envoy Magaya.

Bo Xi left quietly before, and now he returns quietly too.

When Xie Zhao saw her coming back, he immediately asked: "How is it? Is there anything strange happening over there today?"

Hearing this, Bo Xi shook his head and said: "The embroiderer named 'Ning Po' has not seen any movement in the past few days except for the day she came to Yitaluo Mansion to measure your body and secretly met a man when she returned home. . Either I'm leading the embroiderers in Xiujinfang to make clothes for you, or I'm framing and sewing some of your pure poems for Qin Shezhang."

Xie Zhao frowned and asked again:

"Did that man never come back after he left the city that night?"

Bo Xi slowly shook his head and replied:

"He never came back. It looked like he was heading east that night."

East side
Xie Zhao leaned on the back of the chair and frowned slightly.

Her index finger tapped lightly on the table, making a very light "click" sound.

This range is too broad.To the northeast of Shedun City in Fenglan, Western Xinjiang, across the desert of Western Xinjiang, there is Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty.

And to the southeast of Shedun City, the capital of Fenglan State, also crossing the desert of Western Xinjiang, is the border of Nanchao Tianchen.

Even if you cross Hanyong in the north and Tianchen in the south and go east, the end of the eastern continent is Ruian, a city in Zhongzhou built on the sea.

This is too general. Just looking at his direction after leaving the city, there is really no way to determine where the person is going.

However, Xie Zhao still rejected Bo Xi's suggestion to follow the man all the way that night.

After all, they were on someone else's territory, and she didn't want Bo Xi to be in danger. If they fell into a trap or lost their way, they wouldn't even know where to go to get her.

When Xie Zhao was young, he had always been an adventurist.

But most of her "adventures" only seemed extremely dangerous, but in fact she had always known them well.

Under the crushing force of absolute strength, any so-called dangers and obstacles will eventually fall apart.

However, Xie Zhao actually has some "double standards".

On the one hand, she is fearless and is used to suffering, but she doesn't want those around her to act too aggressively and take risks.

——Especially now that her future in the mysterious and treacherous Western Territory is uncertain, and she is still as unlucky as she is now, with good times and bad times, and poor internal strength.

On the other hand, Xie Zhao has actually never underestimated the martial arts practitioners in Xijiang. It can even be said that even when she was in the Immortal Mysterious Realm in the past, she has never underestimated the martial arts in the world.

Therefore, although the Binomen clan among the nine high-ranking castes in Western Xinjiang has declined in the past 20 years, who can be sure that there are definitely no hermit masters hidden in the martial arts of Western Xinjiang.

The "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" who aspired to the top of the world's swordsmanship has always relied on one step at a time, rather than being arrogant and looking down on the heroes.

To take a step back, even if the Western Xinjiang warriors cannot hold up the scene, what if the "man behind" has martial arts masters from the other three countries as helpers?

It's all too possible.

Seventeen or eighteen years ago, they were able to propose a plan to seduce Tuoba Xiao, the late Emperor of Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, and the people behind the scenes who arranged such a strange situation have been hiding in the dark for so many years after Tuoba Xiao's death. Who knows that they are now What a terrifying force it has developed into.

Xie Zhao frowned slightly, and the calculations in his mind were like a nine-fold chain.

These people have been secretly preparing for Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty for many years, and I am afraid that Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty has already been under their silent prying eyes.

It's just that the Southern Dynasty Tianchen was a "national empire", and it paid the most attention to etiquette, law, literature and imperial examinations.

The emperor and the emperor held the power of the world, and they could not find the opportunity to get as close to the emperor of the southern dynasty as they did in the northern dynasty.

However, the life experience of the "Shaoguang Mace Immortal" was not even clear before Xie Zhao visited the "Chonghua Palace" in the sleepless city that night in Zhaoge City and searched and read many secret edicts of previous generations - but "someone" had already It was all clear seventeen or eighteen years ago, and it was even leaked to the person behind the scenes.

Regarding this point, to be honest, Xie Zhao is very concerned about it.

This shows that if the person who leaked the secret was a court official, he would have been a high-ranking and powerful person in the Southern Dynasty at least 20 years ago. The number of people in this range is really too small.

And no matter how Xie Zhaowu came up with his ideas, he couldn't believe that doing such a thing would benefit those nobles who had already dominated the power center of the Southern Dynasty.

Why would a person of such status need to commit treason?

Who would do such a useless thing?

But if the court officials are excluded, then the leakers must be the eunuchs who have read the imperial edict.

From the period of Emperor Feng to the period of Emperor Wei, the range of internal officials who served in the Evernight City during this period was so large that it has been impossible to verify it to this day.

Therefore, who is the "nail" who was driven into Nanchao Tianchen by the people behind the scenes many years ago?

In other words, "who" will it be?

Xie Zhao sighed inwardly.

She was just a toddler back then, and even when she grew up later, her mind was never on the temples of the Southern Dynasties, and she rarely even returned to Zhaoge City, so much so that she had never paid attention to them before.

It seems that only when everything in Xijiang Fenglan comes to an end and she returns to Tianchen in the future, can she follow the clues and reexamine this old and bad debt.
