On the day when I decided to go to Western Xia, the sun was very strong on Lizhou Road, there was no cloud in the sky, and the trees on the mountain were wilted and lifeless.

Zhu Shang was sitting in front of the bookcase and writing a letter, and he was already sweating from the letter.

The letter was addressed to the promise, and it contained his itinerary, as well as a request.

He needed to promise to immediately arrange ten secret guards to Western Xia and let him send them, not only to protect Hu Ling and his safety, but also to have a response.

When Xu Yu received the letter, he was sitting in the pavilion by the pond in the house with the Lu family, feeling the refreshing cool breeze, drinking tea and appreciating lotus, chatting about the interesting things that happened in the capital, which was very pleasant.

July was supposed to go out of the house to get the account book from the store, but then he walked along the pond to the pavilion.

After entering the pavilion, July first saluted the Lu family, and then promised to give a salute, and at the same time said, "Lady, here is a letter from you." ”

Xu Promise stared at July, but July didn't take back the letter, so she reached for it.

After reading the letter, Xu Yu secretly took a breath, folded the letter paper and put it back in the envelope, and told Lu that it was a letter from Ye Qingchen, and she was going to show it to Xu Pingqi, and the two replied together.

After hearing this, Lu Shi did not become suspicious, gave July a plate of snacks, and smiled and let Xu Yu go.

Although she said a panic casually, she really went to the front yard in order to fulfill her lie, and it happened that Xu Pingqi was not in the house, so she immediately went back to the Ming Hibiscus Pavilion.

Holding Zhu Shang's letter and thinking for a long time, he asked people to inquire about Zhu Shang's movements before leaving Bianjing, and heard that he had entered the palace to see the official family the day before leaving Beijing, so as to conclude that he had another purpose for this trip.

The secret guards that Zhu Shang handed over to her are all familiar with everyone's abilities and specialties, and she has cultivated a group of newcomers.

But because she has already arranged for many secret guards to go out, although she can still pick ten of them, she can ensure that her martial arts are very strong, but she can't guarantee that all of them have full experience.

This time, she personally selected the people who went to Western Xia, and wrote to Zhu Shang to inform him of the secret guards she had placed beside Hu Ling, and at the end of the letter was written in small letters.

Less than half a month after Zhu Shang and Hu Ling arrived in Western Xia, all ten secret guards also arrived, and the letter of promise was also handed over to Zhu Shang by the secret guards.

After the meeting, Zhu Shang asked these ten people to find a livelihood in various parts of Xiping Mansion, live as ordinary people, and then assist him in collecting information about Western Xia and report to him regularly.

There are two people selling pancakes on the street outside Li Deming's house, although the cakes they baked are extremely unpalatable, as if they are made of dead noodles, and they have no fragrance when chewed, but they are sold more than half cheaper than ordinary cakes.

If it weren't for the promised money, I'm afraid it would have closed three days after opening.

Every time Zhu Shang went to see Li Deming, he would pass by the pancake stall, and one person would follow, and if there was anything wrong, he would immediately start the set plan.

Dali and Long Tail, who entered Li Deming's mansion to assist Zhu Shang, were not among the ten secret guards, they were two of the six secret guards who had promised to be placed next to Hu Ling, and they were full of experience.

These two people were arranged by Hu Ling to protect Zhu Shang on the night Li Deming invited Zhu Shang for dinner for the first time.

Both of them have followed Zhu Shang since childhood.

When Zhu Shang entered Beijing, he handed over all his property and people to Xu Xu, and they were among them.

This time they promised to arrange someone to protect Hu Ling, but the two originally resented Hu Ling for seriously injuring Zhu Shang, and were reluctant to go, let alone protect Hu Ling's safety, and she didn't need anyone to protect her skills.

Turning his head, he thought that if Hu Ling made a mistake, Zhu Shang was afraid that he would be angry, so he obeyed the order and went all the way west to protect Hu Ling.

On the night when Hu Ling arranged for them to protect Zhu Shang, after Hu Ling fell asleep, they had taken the initiative to confess Hu Ling's arrangement to Zhu Shang. Zhu Shang knew that Hu Ling was worried about him, and he really needed help, so he did not send the two back.

That day, not long after Zhu Shang entered the hall, the two saw many guards with weapons in ambush outside the hall, and Changwei immediately sneaked in, knocked out a guard and pretended to be a guard to sneak in.

After the hall closed, according to Zhu Shang's arrangement, he returned to the residence with the people from the bakery to find Hu Ling, told her Zhu Shang's plan and what happened, and escorted her to transfer.

Hu Ling didn't know the existence of these ten people, but sometimes he felt that there would be a stronger force around him for a short time, and he originally thought that it was Li Deming who sent him to monitor them, but now he thought that it was these secret guards that Zhu Shang had found.

Hu Ling quickly accepted the message conveyed by Dali, and after letting Dali go to Li Deming's study to assist Zhu Shang, she did not go to the place prepared by Zhu Shang to hide, but went to find another place to hide.

After Zhu Shang learned about the hiding place decided by Hu Ling, he nodded with a smile: "The place chosen by Sanniang is more suitable for her! ”

Li Deming naturally didn't know this, he was just proud that he could imprison Zhu Shang, and at the same time resented that his subordinates were useless, and he couldn't even find Hu Ling, who came from Bianjing and was not familiar with Xiping Mansion.

Although he admired Hu Ling, he looked down on her.

With Hu Ling's keenness, in half a month in a town, she can feel every street and alley here, not to mention that she has been here for more than four months.

The place where Hu Ling is hiding is both inconspicuous and hidden.

Li Deming searched for three days, but he didn't find a trace, but Zhu Shang ate and drank in his house for three days, and found a lot of useful information.

On the fourth day, Li Deming ordered that if anyone found Hu Ling, he would hand over Zhu Shang to that person.

Zhu Shang was a literati and a businessman.

The people of Xiping Mansion are not good at business, if someone can get Zhu Shang, and Zhu Shang will give advice, and there will be a lot of money.

In addition to the guards, some merchants also joined in, desperate to find Hu Ling.

After Li Mei learned about it, she held back the dissatisfaction and resentment that overflowed many times in her heart and came to Li Deming. forced himself to beg for help, begging him to let Hu Ling and Zhu Shang go.

How could Li Deming do this, he pushed Li Mei away, stretched out his arms and raised his head and said: "Hu Ling, I must find you, no matter life or death, you should be my person!"

When Li Mei heard this, she looked at her brother with a look of horror, she didn't believe that her brother would say such a thing!

She once fell in love with Hu Ling, who was dressed as a man, and she also asked her brother to help her see each other, and her brother said that this person was not suitable for her, and said that he would help her find a better man.

Now, he said that he wanted to get Hu Ling?

In this way, he has been deceiving her, because he likes Hu Ling, so he will say that Hu Ling is not suitable for her, and he will provoke their relationship!

But he didn't even say a word to Hu Ling, how could he fall in love with her? In the end, his love was nothing more than his possessiveness!

Li Mei thought of the past, and trembled with anger, but she couldn't say a word.

When she adjusted, she left expressionless and without saying a word.

Li Deming realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, but at this moment, he had no time to take care of Li Mei's mood, so he just sent more people to find Hu Ling.

Hu Ling, on the other hand, was in the livestock market, three streets away from Li Deming's house, combing the horses and shoveling manure every day in the past few days, and had a very easy life.

Buy party horses in the north, and capture Tibetan parrots in the west.

The area where Xiping Province is located is an excellent horse-producing area.

The party people are good at raising horses, producing a large number of horses, and the breeds are excellent, so the horses in Xiping Province are also called party horses.

Ordinary livestock markets are located in the suburbs, but Dangxiang horses are the main source of foreign trade in Xiping Province, so there are also several livestock markets in the city that specialize in selling horses.

The cattle city where Hu Ling was hiding was one of the larger in the city.

Coming in from the entrance of the alley, every household sells horses, and through the door, you will often see people standing in the hall, with their cuffs together, and they are selling horses in their sleeves.

There have also been several waves of people in this livestock city, and the inventory usually starts from the last or first household, and the household where Hu Ling is hiding is in the middle, and when the guards find out here, it has been almost smoked by the smell of horse urine and feces.

When she entered her house and asked a few words from the front, and then went around to the barn at the back, and saw that she was dirty and the smell of dung that was stronger, the person who was looking for her looked at her and turned away, unwilling to question her more carefully.

And no one believed that a delicate lady would be in a barn.

The owners of this household are a few of the ten secret guards.

Zhu Shang asked the secret guards to find their own livelihood, but in addition to martial arts, they could only raise horses, and a few of them partnered here to become a merchant selling horses.

They won't go to bake such unpalatable cakes, nor will they go to the shop to be a junior, or to copy books for people, only here, they are good at, except for the smell of horse manure, everything else is calm and beautiful.

These people are really proud of what they are looking for to make a living, and now that Hu Ling has also come to hide in them, they are almost inflated to the point of exploding.

Hu Ling likes to deal with horses very much, and after three or four days, she seems to be about to forget about Zhu Shang. Until Dali sent her a message again, saying that after the outside was arranged, Zhu Shang came out of the inside at night, and they left Xiping Mansion together on the eighteenth.

Hu Ling wiped the mud on his hands, looked for a few cases, asked people to take paper and ink, and wrote: "Xu Dalang, I am the third mother of the Hu family, I have encountered some things in Xiping Mansion this time, and I need you to send some capable guards to the north to answer ......."

On the fifth day of Zhu Shang's captivity, Hu Ling had already arranged the route to leave, and Zhu Shang's information had almost been collected, and he agreed to leave together at night.

Unexpectedly, Li Mei suddenly appeared in Livestock City before dinner.

Hu Ling was washing the bucket, and suddenly saw a gorgeous hem, and when he looked up, it was Li Mei.

She was stunned for a moment, and Li Mei happened to look at her.

In an instant, Li Mei rushed over, ignoring Hu Ling's dirty smell, hugged Hu Ling, choked and said, "How can you be here and let you suffer, I know a way to leave Xixia, I will take you away." ”

Hu Ling patted Li Mei on the back and said, "No need, you and he are brother and sister after all, and you helped me is equivalent to betraying him, and after betraying him, the party and the clan will no longer have a place for you." Don't worry about me, I have a way to leave. ”

Li Mei looked at Hu Ling, and tears fell straight down.

Li Mei is also very strange about herself, she obviously likes a man, and she knows that Hu Ling is a woman, but she still has such feelings for her.

I don't want to leave her, I don't want her to be coerced, I want to be with her all the time.

Whether Hu Ling is male or female, she Li Mei just likes Hu Ling, she can't deceive her heart!

"How did you find here?" asked Hu Ling.

Li Mei took the handkerchief handed by Hu Ling and said, "I have traveled all over the places we have been to together in the past two days, and I remember that you took me here to buy a horse and walked over, but I didn't expect you to be here!"

Hu Ling persuaded a few more words, and Li Mei reluctantly left.

At night, half an hour before the scheduled departure time, he hurriedly came to Hu Ling and said, "Sanniangzi, the outside of the livestock market is surrounded by people!"

Hu Ling stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"
