The homeless people outside the mountain gate were gradually expelled, and the presiding officer of Deding also ordered the gate to be closed. As soon as the mountain gate was closed, the ruthless silence of the past was soon restored. Except for a few small pigeon shadows occasionally crossing the gray white sky, Qin Nanxi saw only a bottomless four-corner sky in front of him.

Fortunately, with the books brought by his family as a companion, there is no longer a need to copy scriptures and pray for the nobles in the palace, Qin Nanxi can still use the book Buddha to remove the surging worries in his heart. But Huijing couldn't bear it, without the inner prison palace people in the palace, the little nuns in the nunnery could not get a trace of information from the outside world, and they had not gone through any major events, and they were very good at spreading false rumors.

Huijing was clever, deliberately made tea on this day, rubbed it to Qin Nanxi, held a cup of hot tea in both hands in front of her, and stood for a long time before staring at her timidly and asking: "Do you know where Tongguan is?" ”

"Tongguan?" Qin Nanxi took the tea, gently blew the foam in the cup, and said deliberately: "How can Senior Sister Huijing care about the pass?" ”

Huijing squirmed for a moment, sat down next to Qin Nanxi, climbed her hand and said: "In the past few days, we have been very fierce in private, saying that the Beidi soldiers have arrived at Tongguan, and that Tongguan is on the other side of this mountain. If the Beidi soldiers pass the pass, they can come to us by talking. He also said, said, said that those Beidi soldiers are pigs and dogs, and they will arrest all the girls, regardless of monks and laymen, they are all ......" Huijing Shang's immature little face turned red, and he didn't dare to continue.

Qin Nanxi understood what she wanted to say. Although she was only seven years old that year, she knew what the people who were captured at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain had gone through......

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Qin Nanxi stroked the back of Huijing's cold hand, wanting to comfort her a few words, but she really couldn't find a basis in her heart, so she had to answer her in a low voice: "Tongguan is not on the other side of this mountain, but three hundred miles east of Chang'an City." ”

Huijing listened, took a deep breath, stroked his heart and said with relief: "Three hundred miles, so far away, and it is in the east." We're here in the west of the city, so it's okay. ”

Qin Nanxi looked at the joy in her eyes, and couldn't bear to tell her that Tongguan was the only barrier in Chang'an, and if Tongguan was broken, Chang'an would naturally be like an egg covering the nest.

"Tongguan, Tongguan, everyone is talking about Tongguan these days. What kind of place is this Tongguan, and is it really that important? Huijing leisurely dangled her feet in two blue and gray cloth shoes, she already knew that Tongguan was three hundred miles away, so she pouted and disdained those who looked sad when they mentioned Tongguan.

Qin Nanxi lowered his eyes and sipped tea, pondered for a moment and said: "Tongguan, since ancient times, there has been the praise of 'the mountain is strong and the three auxiliaries are strong, and the door is closed and strangles Kyushu'. It is indeed a natural risk to guard the two capitals. ”

Huijing said: "Natural risk? What kind of natural insurance? With this natural risk, Beidi soldiers will not be able to reach Liangjing? ”

Qin Nanxi only sighed helplessly when he heard this: "Tongguan, it is true that there are Qinling Mountains in the south as an obstacle, Wei and Luohui Yellow River in the north, Huashan Mountain as a screen in the west, and mountain peaks in the east. However, even if it is such a natural danger, if there is no fierce general to defend it, it is not impossible to break through the pass and destroy the city. ”

Huijing's face froze, and she said sadly: "Then, how can that be good?" ”

Qin Nanxi didn't know how to answer, so she had to shake her head and be silent.
