The faint fragrance of tea wafted, and the pale golden sunlight reflected the large picture spread out through the half-open hibiscus window, and also sprinkled on Xia Yuzhi in front of the bookcase.

The handsome young man of the wind god has just started a family, but in just a few nights, his eyebrows and eyes have been a lot more restrained.

In the past, Xia Yu's sharpness was revealed, like a sharp sword that sharpened iron like clay, but now it has a return to the basics of the sword returning to its sheath. He seemed to have converged all the edges and corners, becoming quiet and quiet, but more reassuring.

He spread out the map on Murong Wei's bookcase, carefully looking for the location of Jingtang Pass, and his bony fingers never left the place around the border city.

On the maps of the three countries, Jingtang Pass cannot be found. The two of them searched their memories and had no impression of this place name. Murong Wei wanted to check whether there was any record of these two words in the Great Zhou Zhi, but Xia Yuzhi quit the palace and immediately returned to the house to ask Mrs. Xia for advice.

Ruizhi courtyard was covered with agarwood incense, and just after stepping into the main room, Xia Yuzhi smelled a faint breath, with the unique freshness of woody fragrance, warm and comfortable.

seems to be Chen Zhihua, who will not be stunning at a glance, but can withstand the polishing of wind and frost and years, and is becoming more and more picturesque in his eyes.

Chen Zhihua heard Xia Yuzhi's footsteps and had already greeted him. She combed the woman's hair in a bun, wore an alizarin red painted embroidered begonia on the right side of the cloud brocade veil, a snow-white thread skirt, and two red tourmalines gathered into the style of begonia flowers on the sideburns.

While taking off Xia Yuzhi's coat, and then instructing Qiaozhen to take the light blue robe on the smoked cage, Chen Zhihua was slightly cramped and wanted to change Xia Yuzhi's clothes.

Xia Yuzhi shook her hand with a smile, pressed her on the big kang near the window and sat down, took the clothes from Qiaozhen's hand, and quickly tied her belt in the blink of an eye, and then sat down opposite her.

"I said a long time ago, you don't need to do these little things", Xia Yuzhi's eyes softened, and the whole person became more and more beautiful and warm. Chen Zhihua smiled and replied playfully: "I'm willing to do it." ”

Xia Yuzhi came back early today, Chen Zhihua asked him if he wanted to set the meal immediately, Xia Yuzhi stood up after drinking the tea, and replied: "I'm not busy, I want to go to my grandmother's place first, there are some important things." ”

"Is there anything new to Ah Wei?" Chen Zhihua also got up to tidy up the hem of Xia Yuzhi's robe, and asked with concern while sending him outside.

Xia Yuzhi's wide hand grasped Chen Zhijie's soft twing, and the two walked out side by side along the road full of golden bamboos, Xia Yuzhi replied in a low voice: "Exactly, I probably found Su Duhan's whereabouts, but I don't know the exact location, so I came back to ask my grandmother, and Ah Wei went to find "Da Zhou Zhi" again."

Chen Zhihua nodded, did not delay her husband's business, and stopped her steps when she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and said reluctantly: "You go early and return early, and I will go to greet my grandmother after dinner." ”

Xia Yuzhi knew that Chen Zhihua was afraid of disturbing him talking to the old lady, so he smiled and agreed, opened the hand holding her lightly, and instructed: "Go back, I'll go back when I go." ”

The old lady heard the ins and outs of the matter from Xia Yuzhi's mouth, her brows furrowed slightly, she stood up from the Luohan couch, and walked to the large picture hanging behind the screen in a few steps.

In fact, the old lady herself is a living map, and she has traveled all over the country over the years, and there are few places she has never heard of. Now, like Murong Wei and Xia Yuzhi, he has never heard of Jingtang Guan, and he frowned.

The rivers and mountains of Xixia are deeply contained in the old lady's mind, and the old man thinks quickly, but he can't remember where there is a place called Jingtang Pass. Since the third division of the world, these three countries have mostly named their places after cities, and rarely use the word "guan".

But in the depths of my memory, I obviously have some impressions of the word Jingtang. It seems that I have heard it somewhere before, and I have been tempered by the long river of time, and I don't know which period of time I have lost it in.

I can't think of it, but there is still a queen mother who has a mind like electricity, and she has the ability to never forget.

As soon as she heard that these ghosts were still about to move, the old lady was a little indignant, and she said to Xia Yuzhi: "These two words have some origins, I always feel that I have heard them somewhere, and I can't remember them for a while. When I enter the palace early tomorrow morning, I will ask the Queen Mother. ”

Just about to bring the new daughter-in-law Chen Zhihua into the palace to thank the queen mother for the reward, the old lady and Chen Zhihua entered the palace in the same carriage early the next morning.

Kowtowed in Shoukang Palace, and when the Queen Mother gave tea, Chen Zhihua only sat for a moment and then resigned with great eyes: "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and Rong Zhihua will retire first." Zhihua also had to go to the Fengluan Palace to thank the queen mother, and then say a few words to the eldest princess. ”

The Empress Dowager lovingly agreed, and asked Mama Bai to accompany Chen Zhihua to Fengluan Hall first, and then to Canwei Palace, and finally Haosheng took her back to herself, leaving the old lady and Chen Zhihua for lunch.

When there was no one else in front of them, a pair of old sisters stood in front of Yutu, as if they had fought side by side in the past, firmly staring at the place where Su Duhan and Huang Jie's 2,000 men and horses had disappeared, and fell into contemplation again.

If they can cross the Black Mountain Pass alive, strictly speaking, they have already left the Xixia Realm, and they will pass through an area where they don't care.

Except for the Black Mountain Pass, the mountains are covered with snow all year round, except for the barren mountains are rivers, and there are no human settlements. The palm-sized land of projectiles is even more barren than the area of the Barrier Sun City, so that even the Xiongnu and Jurchen tribes are not coveted.

If it is said that Su Duhan wants to rely on there to fight back again, it is unreasonable. That place the old lady had been to in the past, and it was indeed desolate, and there was no one at all.

The old lady kept chanting the name of Jingtang Guan in her mouth, and she always felt a little familiar. She frowned and pondered, and asked in a low voice: "Huanxia, I always feel familiar with these two words, but I can't remember them." ”

The Queen Mother felt the same way, and she sifted through her mind over and over again, where did these two familiar words appear.

A letter from years ago suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, it was Su Rui, who was the secretary of the military department at the time, who asked for credit for his subordinates, and mentioned this name several times during this period. The queen mother suddenly slapped the kang table and shouted: "I remember." Jingtang, isn't that a place name, isn't that Yuan Fei's tableword?"

In the past, I never forgot that the queen mother often read the folds with the first emperor, and I once saw this name on the folds.

At that time, Su Rui led his troops to fight a big battle with the Huns, and Yuan Fei and many others made military achievements in this battle. Su Rui appreciated Yuan Fei very much at that time, and used his words on the fold when he asked for merit.

Afraid that after many years, there would be some discrepancies between memories, so the Queen Mother immediately ordered someone to check Yuan Fei's resume and turned out a thick file, and the word Jingtang was indeed his cousin.
