Chitose words

After a while, Xie Zhao, who was riding alone on the horse, said calmly: "Let's go into the city."

With Peng Xiao accompanying them, Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng no longer had to take out the road guides and documents that could be mistaken for the real ones. They just followed the powerful General Peng Xiao into Xunyang County in an open manner. .

As soon as Peng Xiao entered the city, he said goodbye to them for the time being and prepared to go to Xunyang County Governor's Mansion for a visit. By the way, he reported the truth to Yuan Qinghong about the interception and killing at Yinghun Ridge in the morning.

After Xijiang rebelled against the king and went wild in the Southern Dynasty, this matter was no longer his personal grudge.

If the other party had some back-up plan against Yu Nanchao but it was digested by him, that would be troublesome. He must not lift it up high and put it down gently.

They lent a horse to Peng Xiao, and then watched General Peng's heroic figure on the horse gradually disappear around the corner of the street.

"Don't you need to follow?"

Ling Or turned to look at Xie Zhao.

Hearing this, Xie Zhao shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, this is Xunyang County."

Yes, this is Xunyang County.

The hometown of countless Xie Jiajun soldiers after they were disarmed and returned to their fields. Veteran soldiers with straight backs can be seen everywhere on the streets. This is a steel city, a solemn barrier built with the steel and iron bones of the defenders.

If Peng Xiao can still be assassinated in Xunyang County, then Nanchao Tianchen is probably not far from being doomed.

The four of them found a nearby teahouse near the main street to rest. The non-stop "fire fighting" this morning was really intertwined.

Xie Zhao didn't have time to tell them in detail how to deal with Lan Suning. At this time, he just asked Ling He to seal her mute point.

She doesn't know martial arts and has no martial arts skills, so of course she won't be able to escape if she runs, but it will be troublesome if she yells in the city.

Several people sat down in the tea room and placed Lan Suning in the seat between Ling You and Bo Xi to ensure that she would not have any trouble.

Lan Suning's actions and voice were now controlled by others, so she just smiled coldly with cold eyes. Looking at Xie Zhao, a trace of thought and consideration flashed calmly in her eyes.

Xunyang County is the first county in Tianchen North. Although it is close to the frontier, the city is very lively and prosperous.

In the tea room here, you can not only listen to books and drink tea, but also have a meal.

Xie Zhao and others came here naturally to have a quick meal at Dajian.

Since the day they left Shedun City, they had been riding fast, sleeping in the open air and traveling thousands of miles, eating and sleeping almost all on horseback.

According to Han Changsheng's description, it was like treating a person like an eagle!

Of course, he is probably the only one who feels this way.

Ling You and Bo Xi were at a very high level of martial arts. They were already in the Mahayana realm and were not afraid of the ordinary changes in cold and heat. Although walking in a hurry along the way is indeed hard work, the two of them have deep internal strength and the real energy flows in their bodies in real time, so they don't feel hard at all.

As for Xie Zhao, although her inner strength is now inferior to that of Han Changsheng, she has been "the fate of a princess and the body of a maid" since she was a child. What kind of hardships has she endured as a "thousand-year-old sword immortal"? What kind of injury have you not suffered?

Xie Zhao's endurance has been trained long ago. Even if he is unwell, he is used to it and does not find it difficult.

Therefore, along the way, the young master Han Changsheng was not having a very comfortable life.

However, because they were traveling with Lan Suning, who was not skilled in martial arts, they adhered to humanitarianism and wanted to take care of whether the body of Princess Yongwang of Western Xinjiang could withstand the ups and downs on the road. So as long as it gets dark along the way, they will still find a place to rest.

At this moment, they finally lived up to their wish and successfully prevented the "young master"'s conspiracy and saved the life of Langya Pass guard Peng Xiao.

Now I can relax for the time being and finally be able to take a steady breath and eat a warm meal.

The food in Beidi is naturally not as exquisite and elegant as that in Zhaoge City, but it is better in that it is large in quantity and affordable.

As soon as two fragrant mutton chops and a pot of steaming mutton soup were brought to the table, everyone felt relaxed.

Finally came alive!

After several months, they finally had a meal from their hometown in the Southern Dynasties. Han Changsheng was so moved that he almost burst into tears. The eldest young master had gone through many difficulties and obstacles to make his way in this world.

Not only him, he returned to the land of the Southern Dynasty again after a few months. When he stepped on the ground of the city and county of the Southern Dynasty, even Ling He rarely smiled, and he felt as if his footsteps were on the ground. The porcelain bowl served by the waiter was not exquisite, it was just a low-quality product commonly used in ordinary wine shops and teahouses, but when held in his hand, it felt like a long-lost homeland.

It's good to be home!

However, Bo Xi and Lan Suning are foreigners, so I'm afraid they won't be able to empathize with them.

Xie Zhao placed a bowl of hot mutton soup in front of Lan Suning and said politely with a smile:

"Princess, please."

Lan Suning glanced at her quietly, silently took the bowl of haggis soup, then lowered her head and drank it.

She had just been trapped in the web woven by vines and had no idea what was happening at Heroic Soul Ridge.

But now that Peng Xiao had been brought back unscathed by these people, she had already guessed that her brother Lan Suyi's plan to intercept and kill Peng Xiao and frame the blame on the Minghe Bai family had been shattered.

Han Changsheng was restless and couldn't stop his mouth with mutton chops stuffed in his mouth.

He whimpered and couldn't speak clearly:

"A Zhao, are we waiting here for General Peng?"

Xie Zhao swallowed the hot soup in his mouth, put down the bowl and said helplessly: "What are you waiting for him to do? He is now not only the guard of Langya Pass, but also the future prince-in-law canonized by the emperor.

This time General Peng was intercepted and killed, he would be escorted by army officers on the way forward, and there would be no danger in the future. We have done our best to send him here. "

Han Changsheng was dumbfounded and said, "But just now, when General Peng told us to wait and he would thank us later, why did you still agree to it?"

Xie Zhao looked up at him in shock.

"I was just being polite! Maybe General Peng didn't take it seriously, but you silly boy actually took it seriously?"

The crowd stopped talking.

"."

how to say?

It was clear that General Peng sincerely wanted to see Yuan Qinghong and then solemnly thanked them. Moreover, Lan Suning, the "accomplice" General Peng had not yet been interrogated, so naturally he would not leave without returning. Who knew that Xie Zhao, a little liar, was planning to run away without telling the truth? This was really annoying.

Xie Zhao waved his hand with a smile and said: "We people in the world, how can we repay kindness? Your situation is a bit small. Eat quickly, eat quickly, we will set off after eating."

There are so many flaws that it’s hard to comment.

Ling You frowned and asked, "Where are we going?"

Xie Zhao smiled and said: "No matter where it goes, it has to leave the city. If we don't leave Xunyang Princess City, how can the princess's younger brother come to rescue the princess? We can't be too unkind. .”

Lan Suning's eyes narrowed and she looked steadily at Xie Zhao.

Ling Or paused slightly, frowned and said, "Are you planning to let them find us again?"

Xie Zhao nodded with a smile.

Han Changsheng probed: "Azhao, we are single and weak, so we won't get away with it, right?"

Xie Zhao leaned helplessly on the back of the chair behind him, crossed his arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Are you kidding? We are indeed 'single', but where did you say 'weak'?"

She smiled slightly, raised her chin slightly, pointed in the direction of Ling You and Bo Xi, and said:

"With Shaoxia Ling and Vice Envoy Bo here, how can there be any accidents?"

Ling You and Bo Xi both raised their eyebrows and looked at her noncommittally.

Is this the opposite?

It was probably because the "Thousand-year-old Sword Immortal" had the wisdom in his hands that there were no surprises.
