Linzhou City, which is not prosperous but is also very lively, has always been the first line of defense against foreign enemies in the north of the Great Zhou.

Because Linzhou is connected to Beirong in the north, and Yeying in the east, it is also separated by a river, so you can see each other from afar.

Such a complex fortress terrain also led to the fact that whenever a war broke out, Linzhou City was always in a state of tension and turmoil.

Not long ago, the Beirong army pressed the border, and Linzhou City, which was already panicked.

After receiving the news that the king was attacked by the small kingdoms of Yeying, resulting in his death, the entire city fell into martial law.

But to everyone's surprise, Beirong withdrew at this time, so that the crisis-ridden Linzhou City escaped in a daze.

Now that the crisis of war is gone, the newly opened city gates naturally allow the people to enter and exit freely again.

And on a quiet morning, the flow of people from outside the city to the city of Linzhou.

Suddenly, more than a dozen men leading high-headed horses couldn't help but be out of place with the ordinary people around them.

Therefore, when this group of people passed under the city, they were immediately stopped by the soldiers guarding the city with vigilant expressions.

"What are you people doing, although you are dressed ordinarily, but the horses you are holding are all very well-made, and I am not quick to tell you where you came from."

Because Linzhou is a city of military fortresses, there will always be spies from other countries lurking in to pick up the opportunity to inquire about intelligence.

Therefore, the soldiers under the city of Linzhou have always been extremely alert, as long as there is anything wrong, they will carefully investigate.

Seeing that his way was blocked, among the few people who immediately led the horse, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy immediately walked out with a smile.

Then the young man took out of his bosom a small ingot of gold, and handed the soldier two bags of mare's milk wine.

Then he scratched his head and said with a simple and honest look:

"Master Jun, I and several brothers in my family, as well as the slaves who traveled with me, all came from the Saiwai grassland. As for these horses, they are the best horses on our steppe. In order to get a good price for entering the city, I also asked the official to make it convenient, so let a few of us in. ”

When they heard this, the soldiers who stopped them looked at the horses, and then they nodded their heads, and felt that they were indeed very good.

And when I thought about it, the spies have always been disguised as ordinary people, where would there be such an eye-catching dozen people dispatched at the same time, and there was also a teenager.

Therefore, after immediately believing that the group of people in front of him was nothing more than a gang of horse dealers, the soldier threw two bags of mare's milk wine to the other colleagues beside him.

Immediately after smiling again, he handed the small ingot of gold in his hand to the young man in front of him again.

"We in Linzhou City need excellent horses to train into war horses all year round, so Linzhou welcomes you herdsmen to come and trade and buy. If you have good horses in the future, just remember to make a few more trips. As for the gold, you should take it back, you grassland herdsmen are our friends of Linzhou people, and we will not take your hard-earned money. Therefore our brothers took the two sacks of mare's milk wine, and when you had put the gold in place, you hurried into the city. ”

Hearing this, the young man was naturally grateful to Dade again, and after handing the soldier two bags of mare's milk wine, he led the horse to the city gate.

And after passing the city gate and entering the rather lively Linzhou City, the honest young man who was still smiling immediately had a smiling face.

The originally sunny and smart eyes narrowed slightly, and his head couldn't help but lower a little bit, and after he grinned, he said with a sigh:

"I didn't expect that even a small soldier would be so approachable. This has to be changed to other places, and I Su Qi's ingot of gold today, but don't want to come back. ”

As soon as they heard this, the group walked in the front, wearing a cloak and covering all the men on their faces.

This will smile wickedly, and then say lazily:

"Don't think that all the crows in the world are generally black, Lord tells you, because Linzhou City is always in the midst of war. Therefore, whenever there is a war together, all the people in this city are soldiers. The elderly, the weak, the women and the children were responsible for lighting fires, cooking, and healing the wounded. The men of the family brought bows and arrows to the front, and even climbed the city gates to deal with the enemy. Therefore, there is no distinction between ordinary people and officials in Linzhou City, so the oppression of the people under the official and the people is naturally not seen here. ”

Hearing this, he followed closely on the other side of the man in the cloak, Bai Chu, who was also sent out of Beijing by Xiao Jinxuan, and like Su Qi, he would appear in Linzhou City.

And he couldn't help but sigh very emotionally, and glanced back at the city gate this time, and then said very longingly:

"Lord Wang, you said that if our Great Zhou is all like Linzhou City, all of them are like Linzhou City, wouldn't it be bright and clear."

But as soon as he finished saying this, Su Qi, who was also accompanying him, immediately laughed disdainfully, and then said with a weak look:

"Bai Chu, you stupid words will not say a few words next time, and you will be embarrassed by the master. Haven't you heard that when the water is clear, there are no fish, just like the two of us? You guards can follow your master day and night to protect her safety, but our hidden guard is a deadly weapon in the master's hand in secret. Therefore, in this world, there has always been light and darkness, and where there is black, there must be white. If it is true that I am a clean and honest official, you believe that my world will inevitably be chaotic. You're right to say that I'm right, Your Highness. ”

Su Qi worshipped Chiling as his teacher, and later received Chiying's guidance.

In addition, he is indeed a good seedling for martial arts, so this body of kung fu is also quite admired by Bai Chu.

But what Bai Chu couldn't stand the most was that Su Qi looked like he was going to die and was powerless on weekdays.

Therefore, he immediately glared at the other party unconvinced, and quickly retorted:

"Lord Yu, tell me who is right between me and Su Qi. If there are more upright officials, the life of the people will be better and better. I think Su Qi, you just have to do everything against me, so whatever I say, you have to refute. ”

Seeing that the two enemies did not agree with each other, they quarreled again, and the man under the cloak smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and then raised his head and glanced in the direction of Changping City, which was thousands of miles away.

And the moment the other party raised his head, the peerless handsomeness that only Zhou Xianyu possessed, which turned all beings upside down, was revealed for a moment.

However, when he lowered his head the next time, his face was hidden in the cloak, making it impossible to distinguish his true identity.

Reaching out and taking it out of his arms, when he left the Beijing Division, the purse embroidered with the forget-worry grass that Xiao Jinxuan gave him, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but say in a tender voice:

"Whether it's a corrupt official or a clean official. None of this has anything to do with the king. Since I can survive this catastrophe this time, after returning to Beijing, the blood of the 30,000 army will be recovered by the king himself. When the dust settled, I took Jinxuan and left Jingshi, I really didn't know how she was doing now. I guess the news of my death should have been reported back to Jingshi, and I'm really worried that this woman will do something drastic because of this. After all, she is just a little fox with sharp claws, and there is no moment when she is quiet and docile. ”

Although Zhou Xianyu's words seemed to be blaming Xiao Jinxuan.

But the infinite ** drowning color in his eyes, anyone who looks at it can see that he will be deeply rooted in love and difficult to extricate himself.

Hearing this, Su Qi immediately stopped arguing with Bai Chu, but said with a smile:

"Speaking of which, after rushing to Linzhou this time, we didn't expect that the person who saved you in the end would be Xiao Yunyan, the third highness of Beirong. As for the master, the prince doesn't have to worry, Ling Xiao's agar-kungfu is not weak, if the master has something, they will definitely protect each other desperately. ”

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and in Zhou Xianyu's mind, Xiao Jinxuan's gentle and smiling face couldn't help but appear.

Immediately he turned over and got on his horse, and then said to the people:

"This time, I encountered an ambush by Yeying, and the other party obviously knew that our march route was prepared. Therefore, this shows that there are people in the court who want to put me to death. So pay attention to concealing your identity along the way, and if I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid that there will be a big change in Jingshi. For the sake of my 30,000 soldiers who died tragically, as well as the safety of your master Jinxuan. Within half a month, we must rush back to Beijing without eating or drinking, so we will set off. “

Zhou Xianyu has been leading the army all year round, so this will give orders, which is also concise and clear.

And after everyone got on horseback, Zhou Xianyu couldn't help but glance at the purse in his hand again.

Then he said in a tone full of affection, with a hint of concern:

"Xuan'er, I'm rushing back to protect you non-stop, and I promise that I must hold on. No matter what changes there are in the court, I must wait until the moment I come back. Don't forget our agreement, you can't do anything. ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Zhou Xianyu put the purse into his arms again with great preciousness, and then he didn't want to delay the slightest time, and immediately took everyone to ride away.

A tear dripped down uncontrollably and hit the carefree hairpin, and in an instant, the tear was shattered into a piece.

Closing her eyes with a face full of pain, Xiao Jinxuan put the carefree hairpin on the side of her face, and muttered in her mouth:

"It's good for you to show you now, I'm **** chanting for you, but from today on, I won't do these things. Originally, it was only your death, and it was a normal ambush battle. But now that I know that all this is secretly manipulated by Empress Xue, how can I **** chant the scriptures without avenging you with my own hands. I won't let go of any of the people who hurt you, I want the entire Xue family to go to your funeral. ”

And not long after Xiao Jinxuan finished saying these words that were almost talking to herself, Zhuxin, who had now rushed back from the City God Temple, was full of distress, but said with a sense of hatred:

"Miss, the Shuai Mansion has arrived, and now we are back again. Chi Ling and the others died so miserably, if it weren't for the group of people in the mansion who forcibly forced you to go to the family temple, where would so many people have died. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but have a sly smile on the corner of her mouth, and then sent the carefree hairpin into the bun from the new.

"Xianyu's enmity will wait for the time being, and when the Xiao family and I are resolved, the grievances and grievances between each other. And after seeking justice for Chi Ling and the others, then I can concentrate on avenging you without worry. ”

As soon as she finished saying this, through the curtain of the car, looking at the tall plaque above the Shuai Mansion, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes couldn't help but flash a sharp coldness.
