Late at night, the night was still heavy, Xu Heng, who couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, sat at the table with a candle and was reading a piece of information, with a copper basin at his feet.

The woman who was still sleeping soundly on the bed opened her eyes several times, but only saw a motionless back, the back seemed to have magical powers, and after a few glances, she was sleepy, and after a while, she closed her eyes again, and when she opened her eyes after I don't know how long, she saw the same scene. Unchanged, but unexpectedly reassuring,

I don't know how many times I opened my eyes, the figure at the table had come to the bedside, leaned over to comb the woman's messy hair, and left a cool kiss on the corner of the forehead.

"Those letters appear a little strange, so I plan to go to a few of the fourteen places, in the recent news that the place where the princess of the rivers and lakes haunts is Xianyangfu, I think it is necessary to go to the magistrate who was robbed of the rich and help the poor, to see if I can find any clues about her. ”

"You stay in the General's Mansion first, and I'll be back in four days. Also, I don't think that Ru Yan Xinpeng will give me the real plan to deliver the purple gold jade bottle, the purple gold jade bottle may be brought in or out of the general's mansion at any time, so you have to be careful these days, don't be taken advantage of by the princess of the rivers and lakes. ”

"That's all I want to explain, Gong Jingsheng is waiting for me outside, it's three o'clock in the morning, you can sleep again, I'm leaving." ”

In the woman's daze, the man in the dark clothes had already left. The room fell silent, and the woman rolled over and continued to fall asleep.

The two horsemen went out of the city at night, just in time to come into the city secretly with an army.

The city gate was silently opened, the coalition army composed of the countries of the Western Regions was neat, but the appearance was different, this army of 5,000 people integrated the characteristic military branches of the countries in the Western Regions, and the combat effectiveness was extremely strong, and this coalition army was just to escort a treasure.

Purple gold jade bottle.

It is said to be a secret treasure from the Mohuang Grottoes in recent years, which is said to embody the power of cause and effect of thousands of years of original Buddhism, and once unearthed, it has become one of the sacred relics of Buddhism in the Western Regions. However, the preciousness of the purple gold jade vase does not lie in the mysterious origin of those mysteries, because it was cast thousands of years ago, and the method of breaking the financial jade used has long disappeared from history, even if the existing broken financial jade products industry is rare in the world.

Rare represents rarity, and rarity represents value. This time, the countries of the Western Regions were willing to give this treasure as a tribute to the Yang Dynasty, which was very popular with the court, and even exempted the countries from paying tribute for five years. And because of this, the countries of the Western Regions will gather the strength of all countries to create such a strong force to escort the purple gold jade bottle into Beijing.

Ru Yan Xinpeng, the prince of Tubo, was one of the commanders.

The matter of paying tribute to the purple gold jade bottle has been known to the whole world, so its danger is also increasing day by day, and it can't help but be uncautious in the court and the countries of the Western Regions. After the funeral of the alliance leader, the God of Wealth hurriedly returned to Xijing City for this matter, and Li Changfeng, Ru Yan Xinpeng, Gong Jingsheng and others gathered to gamble on Huangzhai for this matter.

Originally, Ru Yan Xinpeng's army could be escorted outside Xijing City, and then it would stay in the Imperial General's Mansion for a few days, and then the Panlong Army led by Li Changfeng would return to Beijing after receiving the purple gold jade bottle.

It's just that the appearance of the princess of the rivers and lakes has changed all this, I don't know where to learn the news of the princess of the rivers and lakes intervening, Ru Yan Xinpeng refused to hand over the purple gold jade bottle on the grounds of ensuring safety, Li Changfeng, who originally came to discuss the route, arrived in Xijing alone, and the Panlong Army was still thousands of miles away, even if it came non-stop, it would take at least four days.

The purple gold jade bottle could only stay in the general's mansion for four days, forty-eight hours of crisis.

In addition to laying down heavy protection in the General's Mansion, the God of Wealth entrusted Xu Heng to deal with the princess of the rivers and lakes.

It's not to protect the purple gold jade bottle, the purple gold jade bottle has its own formation in the general's mansion to protect everyone, what Xu Heng needs to deal with is the mysterious princess of the rivers and lakes.

As soon as he agreed on the next goal with Su Su, he accepted a commission about the goal. I have to say what a coincidence.

It's really a coincidence.

The team of the Western Regions Combined Army entering the city was nearing the end, and Xu Heng found that the number of people was only five hundred when it was full, and after the combined army, another army that was not unfamiliar appeared. The team of military law followed silently behind the combined army, and when the team was more than halfway through, there was a tiger striped Su character banner raised without wind, and below it was a horse general in armor, with a handsome face cold and abnormal, glanced at the two people who stopped their horses next to the city gate, and nodded slightly.

Gong Jingsheng hugged his fists on the horse and returned the salute, and Xu Heng smiled.

The two teams of people quickly missed, the city gate was widened, the road ahead was unimpeded, Xu Heng and Gong Jingsheng whipped their horses and went out of Xijing City.

"Brother Jingsheng, the fifteen places that the Purple Gold Jade Bottle will pass through after entering the Western Regions were agreed upon by you on the spot yesterday? "After walking on the official road for a while, Xu Heng suddenly turned his head and asked about the details of him and before he arrived yesterday, it is said that it was just after the order of the General's Mansion was sent to those fourteen locations that the letter from the princess of Jianghu appeared, so it was the officials at all levels in the place who connected these two things, and hurried to send the letter back," Or is it possible to guess the route in advance?"

Xu Heng's question made Gong Jingsheng think for a while, shook his head and said: "It is possible to overhear all the information, but after many inspections during the discussion, if you can overhear it to that extent, you can directly enter the escort army and steal the purple gold jade bottle." As for guessing those fifteen places," the staff of the General's Mansion only felt unbelievable about this statement, "unless he has already determined that there is no purple gold jade bottle in the team escorting the treasures, he will not think of the possibility of secretly transporting them." ”

"Could it be that the one in the army is not necessarily true?" Xu Heng's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of another possibility, and turned his head to look at Gong Jingsheng in surprise, "It's just a bottle, why be so cautious?"

"No way," Gong Jingsheng also shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Although it's just a bottle, it's too much involved...... There are not only original Buddhism, disputes among countries, but also where the imperial capital and court are, there are also many disputes. ”

"The opinions of the imperial capital and the court are not unified?" "The original Buddhism is easy to understand, all the countries in the Western Regions have taken out the sacred relics of others, it is impossible to have no grievances, and the disputes of the countries Xu Heng also knows, isn't it that the peace has been for a long time, and the idle eggs want to try it with the Central Plains, of course, there are radicals and conservatives, and most of the countries led by the Tubo State think that it is better to continue the peace, so there is this matter of sending the purple gold jade bottle to the east, so why is there still some disputes in the court? Xu Heng was a little puzzled, "The disputes in the court are concentrated in that aspect?" ”

"This," Gong Jingsheng said here and stopped thinking about it before he said, "Your Highness, you have been away from the imperial capital for a long time, and you may not know that Your Highness's elder brother has walked out of the Guozijian and entered the court......

"Hey......" Xu Heng let out a long sigh, didn't ask anything more, and turned his gaze to the front, "Let's go, the first stop, Antai City." ”
