Just as Luo Liyao was thinking about how to enter the city, Tang Haoqi, who had left the team, finally caught up with them, and brought a piece of news that made Luo Liyao's face even more solemn - the majestic Surabaya embankment had collapsed.

Luo Liyao shook her head slightly at Chu Lingze, who was looking back from a distance, before she asked sideways: "Can you see how it collapsed?" ”

"It collapsed completely, and at a glance you knew that it was definitely not simply washed away by the current." Tang Haoqi understood what she meant, and immediately replied, "This Linhe City will suddenly close the city gates, and I'm afraid it will have nothing to do with it." ”

"All the grass and trees are soldiers." Luo Liyao sighed softly, "Take the Yunxiao Sword in the carriage and show it to the Linhe City Guard." ”

For a long journey, it is natural that there may be various accidents, although it is not satisfactory, but it is always right to be prepared in advance - and Luo Liyao's preparation is the Yunxiao Sword.

Although the ancient legends seem absurd now, they are not all made up, at least those rumored things are still real: such as the Huaiguang of the Qianjia, the clouds of the Tianqi royal family, and the Zhaotian seal in Ye Luoqing's hand.

And such a divine weapon is a major symbol of the owner's family - the Yunxiao Sword, just like the imperial seal of Tianqi, symbolizing the supremacy of the Tianqi royal family.

At this moment, the inexplicable collapse of the Weiyan Surabaya embankment put Linhe City directly into a state of alert, and they could not force their way through, so they had to use some other methods.

In Shenchu, people are most concerned about etiquette and morality; In Tianqi, what people respect most is the legal system; In Weiyan, what people value most is status.

Therefore, Luo Liyao directly came up with some strong evidence to prove her identity, so that Linhecheng had to let him go.

Tang Haoqi suddenly realized, turned around and stepped into the carriage to look for it, but he was a little sneering at Weiyan's atmosphere in his heart - isn't this a true portrayal of worshipping high and stepping low? It is no wonder that such an obvious flood hazard has not been properly dealt with for so long...... Sooner or later, the country should be finished. He picked up the box containing the Yunxiao Sword, silently made a conclusion to Wei Yan, and sighed by the way: Sure enough, the person who is on the tip of the emperor's heart can even get such a thing.

Although I think this way in my heart, I still have to do it, and it turns out that the sentence "where it is convenient to use what way" is really not wrong.

The guards of Linhe City were very cautious, and only let him in, and when he saw the clear and dazzling sword light of the Yunxiao Sword, as well as the slightly reddish cloud patterns on the sword, he was so shocked that he almost fainted - this is almost the highest symbol of the Tianqi Imperial Family, if it weren't for Tang Haoqi's reminder, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.

Linhe City borders Tianqi, and there are countless trades between Linhe City and Nanchuan City. It is precisely in this way that they better understand how strong Qi's national strength is today - "You must not offend Tianqi, let alone not."

can offend Tianqi's royal family", the moment he recognized the Yunxiao Sword, such a thought appeared in the heart of the Linhe City guard.

What's even more suffocating is that Tang Haoqi has to add one more sentence: "This is Tianqi's family sending team, and there is also Shen Chu's prince in it." ”

He didn't say that it was okay, but after saying this, the guard almost died on the spot.

"Release, release! Release! ”

Tang Haoqi glanced at the sentry who hurriedly ran to give orders, and the clumsy appearance of staggering and even almost falling down was really funny - at a glance, he knew that he had too little training in ordinary times, and lacked a sense of discipline, which was far worse than Tianqi's army.

Sure enough, it was going to be over sooner or later, Tang Haoqi showed a bright but somewhat strange smile to the guards, and secretly mourned for them for three seconds in his heart.

After all, Tianqi has such an emperor who doesn't talk much, and a princess who has laid a trap for you without showing her face, this majestic and not well-known character, but also sandwiched between the other four countries - it must be the first to finish, Tang Haoqi thought to himself.

"Has Shen Chu's General Zuo Ying arrived?" It will take some time for the team to enter the city, and Tang Haoqi is idle left and right, so he asked casually, "He is here to pick us up, which pier do you have here leading to Shenchu?" ”

"If it's that ten-fingered general—the day before yesterday has arrived." The general replied, "There are only two piers in Linhe City, and the pier in the south of the city leads directly to Shenchu, and Shenchu's boat and the general have always been there. ”

"How many of them came?"

"I don't know about this, I only went there once on the day they arrived, and I only saw the general and a few soldiers beside him—the general's ten fingers were really long, and the boat they rode on was very gorgeous, and I was particularly impressed."

Tang Haoqi blinked, and suddenly felt a little strange: "You don't know how many of them there are?" Are they ...... these days? All live on a ship? ”

"That's right." The guard slapped his head and said in shock, "Don't you say that I haven't found out yet, although our Linhe City is not big, but after all, it is a border city, and there are often merchants who come and go, this inn has a lot of people, at least it can accommodate hundreds of people - I haven't heard that the Shenchu people have such a hobby, why would they rather sleep on the boat than go to the ground......"

Tang Haoqi was speechless: "......"

You're quick to react, and before I can say it, you're just done.

But the guard is really right, who has to live on a ship? Shenchu doesn't have a water city, let alone the kind where all citizens want to live on a boat.

Moreover, what made Tang Haoqi more concerned was the date of Zuo Ying's arrival - according to Chu Lingze, the time of Zuo Ying's arrival should be about the same as theirs, but this guard general said that Zuo Ying had arrived the day before yesterday

Finish?

It's really weird.

"Indeed." Luo Liyao leisurely held the coarse porcelain teacup, and after taking a sip of the tea inside, she frowned and put it aside, and continued, "Haven't they come back yet, the prince and Tianji?" ”

"Not yet...... Ah, they're back! Bang Yue heard her inquiry, and hurriedly spoke, but before she finished speaking, she saw Chu Lingze, Tianji and others enter the teahouse, and hurriedly changed her words.

When the two of them went, they only brought a few attendants, but when they came back at this time, they were followed by more people dressed as Shen Chu - especially the person who followed behind Chu Lingze, dressed in red, covered with black brocade, and inadvertently exposed half of the ten fingers than ordinary people, it was difficult not to attract attention.

Tang Haoqi beckoned to the sky, and when he approached him, he gossiped in a low voice: "This is the 'Eagle Heart Eagle Claw'." ”

"Well, you can see it except for the blind." Tianji glanced at him angrily, "Don't talk, this person is not simple." ”

When Tang Haoqi heard this, he reluctantly closed his mouth.

"Princess." Chu Lingze stopped in front of Luo Liyao and said softly, "How is Li Ran's situation?" Do you want to start now? ”

"Li Ran's situation there is fine...... Luo Liyao replied, her gaze slightly crossed him to Zuo Ying behind him, and smiled, "This is General Zuo Ying?" You seem to have something to say. ”

Zuo Ying looked at her, but there was some uncertainty in his eyes.

He was not in a hurry to speak, so Luo Liyao did not urge, only smiled and let him see.

For a long time, until Chu Lingze really couldn't stand it, Zuo Ying saluted her after coughing lightly: "I've seen the princess, since the princess asked, the minister said directly - this trip to Shenchu, the journey on the water will take at least half a month, and there are not so many rooms on the boat that can be inhabited, please Your Royal Highness the princess, go back to Qiushui City." ”

That's it?

Tang Haoqi couldn't help but roll his eyes, Brother Xindao, your statement of driving people away can be more straightforward - it seems that the possibility that this person is a friend or foe is really very high, so he clearly wants to take them away, and he uses such an excuse.

The boat is not that big, why don't you have a few people? Or how many boats?

Luo Liyao's face remained unchanged, and she asked rhetorically: "Except for the generals and soldiers, is there only the room of the prince and the county lord on the ship?" ”

"In addition to the rooms of the ministers and soldiers, not counting the warehouses used for ceremonies, there are only a dozen or so left." Zuo Ying replied very sincerely, "I really can't tolerate too many ......"

"Where, enough." Luo Liyao raised her hand, interrupted him directly, turned around and called Bang Yue, raised her voice and said, "You and Bang Hua will take our army back to Nanchuan City, and General Meng Bi will send you back to Qiushui City." ”

That's what you're going to do

The meaning of sending the Tianqi sergeant who served in the team to send back is that the county lord is married, in a country like Shen Chu where etiquette is supreme, the attendants who follow the relatives are naturally indispensable, and the sergeant is just a protective role, and it is understandable to use Shen Chu's.

Luo Liyao's move was to clearly show Zuo Ying her determination to go to Shenchu with them - she would rather give up her layer of protection than go home.

And Zuo Ying was indeed shocked by her reaction, but he didn't dwell too much, let alone want to continue to persuade her, but said, "Princess, you are really...... Courage is commendable. ”

Chu Lingze: "General Zuo Ying......"

Luo Liyao laughed suddenly, and the sudden blooming brilliance caused the people around him to cast amazing glances.

Zuo Ying's eyes sank slightly, and he still didn't like her very much in his heart - the more stunning a woman is, the more she will bring disaster to the country and the people.

"The sentence "I am a general" is a compliment." Luo Liyao pushed Bang Yue, who was a little stunned in place, and secretly pinched her fingers, "You girl, what are you doing here?" Go for it. ”

Bang Yue came back to her senses, blinked, lowered her head and replied, "The slave understands." ”

Tang Haoqi saw it in his eyes, so he consciously followed Tianji to the carriage to pack his things - they were not the "sergeants" in Luo Liyao's mouth, so they naturally wanted to go with her.

Obviously, Zuo Ying really didn't take a group of them, including Luo Liyao, in his eyes, so he had to let them go.

As for his sentence "courage is commendable", the meaning is naturally self-evident - to send back the sergeants who protect him, he took Ye Luoqing, Tang Haoqi and Tianji on his boat, which is tantamount to "trapped in the enemy camp" on the battlefield.

Zuo Ying is not a person from Chu Lingze's faction, and his attitude towards them is definitely not very friendly, at most he is just passable on his face.

And they have to stay on Zuo Ying's territory for at least half a month, if there is no "accident", I'm afraid no one will believe it.
