The withered reeds were swept away by the small fishing boats, disturbing a few waterfowl with nowhere to go, and flew away with a miserable cry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The soil near the water's edge was already half-frozen in the cold, and their feet felt a little stiff when they stepped on it, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the darkness in front of them.

At least on Li Tang's land.

The most emotional is naturally Princess Lan Jin Li Mengxiao, if she hadn't stepped forward in time to support her with tears streaming down, she was afraid that she would have fallen to the ground.

couldn't help it, the master and servant hugged their heads and cried.

Seeing Princess Lan Jin's actions, the rest of the people were all deeply touched, and the so-called aftermath of the catastrophe is probably like this.

It's just that Liu Xi has more worries in his heart.

In the territory of Liu Han before, he only had to think about how to escape, but now when he stepped on the land of Li Tang, he couldn't help but have more worries about what he had thought about in the past.

After all, he Liu Xi is just a small person sandwiched between the two empires, and if he fails and Liu Si's army attacks, no one can guarantee that Emperor Tang will ask him for his guilt.

So Huilanling is still Xinyang, after crossing the river, this has undoubtedly become the first thing that Liu Xi needs to solve.

The identity in Chang'an City has been exposed, I am afraid that the Tang Emperor has also received a secret report, and learned that Liu Xi is related to the royal family of the Han Dynasty.

But if he took advantage of the imminent war between the Han and Tang Dynasties and the Tang Emperor had no time to take care of it, he went straight back to Yangqu City to hibernate and recuperate, and after the war, Li Tang would definitely be full of holes, and even if the Tang Emperor wanted to find him trouble, he probably couldn't easily take down his Yangqu City.

But if this move continues, it may disrupt all his plans.

Although he Liu Xi has a very high prestige in Yangqu City at the moment, in the final analysis, he is acting as a courtier of the Tang Emperor, and if he is a blatant enemy of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Xi is not sure at all where the people in the city are going.

After all, the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty is the Li family.

When Liu Xi hesitated, Xiao Wu walked up to him and whispered, "I will escort Princess Lan Jin to Lanling, how about you take Senior Sister Tian and them back to Yangqu City?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi immediately knew that he was not the only one who was still worried in his heart.

Before Liu Xi could speak, Xiao Wu continued, "When you were unconscious a few days ago, I had already sent a letter to Lin Yi and Sidon, and the news that the Huns had sent troops to Yangqu City was about to reach Li Tang's court, so you can't blame you if you go straight back to Tang Huang." ”

It seems that even if Liu Xi is unconscious, Xiao Wu is ready to send Liu Xi back to the north, but Huiyang Qucheng is still Sidon's sweat tent, maybe it is another plan.

Looking back at Xiao Wu and glancing at it a few times, the other party's arrogant temperament has always made Liu Xi ignore his strategy, and now it seems that Xiao Wu is also a rare talent in strategy.

The Xiongnu once suffered heavy losses when their 200,000 army went south, and now when Li Tang was attacked by Liu Han's army, it was understandable to go south to report the shame.

This time, the northern Xinjiang is naturally in an emergency, and it is reasonable for Liu Xi, as the envoy of Zhenbei, to focus on the overall situation to resist the enemy.

But just when Liu Xi nodded in agreement, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance burst through the layers of night, although there was no moonlight and starlight, but the dark armor on the soldier on the horse exuded a cold breath.

It's cold.

But it was the 'water cold' army of the king of Zhenxi who came.

Seeing the 'water cold' Princess Lan Jin and Biyue, the master and servant, they cried again with joy, while Liu Xi and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, and both of them had a solemn look in their eyes.

The horse's hooves came to an abrupt halt a few feet away, and the soldiers dismounted neatly and stood beside the black horse wrapped in cold iron, like a long sword with an unsheathed handle.

The leader of the team had a national face, and under the thick eyebrows was a pair of eyes that were shimmering and restrained, I saw him glance at Liu Xi and the others, and then strode forward and bowed down with Princess Lan Jin, "The last general, Wang Xian, the general of the 'water cold' wind word camp, is here to answer the princess on the order of the prince." ”

Knowing that the King of Zhenxi was concerned about her safety, Princess Lan Jin was in tears again, choked up a little, and then bowed her head slightly with the person who came, "Let Uncle Wang bother, and work hard for the general." ”

The general who led the team was busy saying that he didn't dare, waved his hand, and someone behind him immediately led a carriage over, and Biyue helped Princess Lan Jin into the carriage.

Xue Jiang is a close second.

The biggest reason why she didn't leave with the eldest princess Li Yunying was that she had to take care of the weak Princess Lan Jin.

When Princess Lan Jin got into the carriage, the general turned his head and said loudly, "I don't know which one is Lord Liu, the envoy from Zhenbei?" ”

Hearing this, Liu Xi understood that the King of Zhenxi didn't want him to leave secretly, and Xiao Wu on the side even had a hand in his sleeve, and his fingertips were on the Qinggang sword.

Not far away, Ma Xiu's eyes were full of struggle, obviously, Xiao Wu must have told him about those plans before, and among the others, he was obviously more difficult than Liu Xi.

It's just because of the lovely man in the palace of the king of Zhenxi that makes him think about it.

Gently patting Xiao Wu on the shoulder, Liu Xi signaled that he couldn't act rashly and kill these soldiers, then he would really be an enemy of Li Tang.

There will be no room for manoeuvre.

"This official is Liu Xi, the envoy of Zhenbei, I don't know what happened to the general?"

Seeing Liu Xi speak, there was a little curiosity in his eyes, maybe he had heard of Liu Xi's deeds, but now that he saw the real person, he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

"The prince summoned the lord to meet him."

Sure enough, as Liu Xi expected, the king of Zhenxi wanted to meet him.

Xiao Wu and the others all looked at Liu Xi, Tian Xun'er, who was holding Xiao Ling'er, even half of her body faintly blocked in front of Liu Xi, while Ma Xiu was still full of struggle.

The general stared at Liu Xi with blazing eyes, and at some point, his broad right hand was placed on the long sword at his waist.

For a while, it seemed that all eyes were focused on Liu Xi's body.

There was a deathly silence all around, except for a few horses, which seemed to be unable to stand the cold of the winter night, and occasionally snorted.

"Sister Xun'er, it's too cold outside, there is a stove in the car, you quickly take Sister Ling'er to the carriage."

The brocade curtain of the carriage was lifted, but Princess Lan Jin, who was the first to enter the carriage, showed her face from the window of the carriage and beckoned Tian Xun'er and the other girls to get on the car.

This time, Tian Xun'er was a little undecided, and Qiushui's beautiful eyes looked at Liu Xi, obviously wanting the latter to make a decision.

"It's freezing cold, Xun'er, let's get into the carriage with Ling'er."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Xiu seemed to be relieved, he was able to accompany Liu Xi to be the enemy of the world, but he only did not want to conflict with the king of Zhenxi.

Tian Xun'er stared at Liu Xi for a moment, then nodded slowly, and boarded the carriage with Xiao Ling'er, who was already asleep.

The 'Shui Han' general removed his right hand from the hilt of his sword, ordered the soldiers behind him to free up a few horses, and stretched out his hand to Liu Xi to ask, "My lord, please." ”

Turning over and getting on the horse, Liu Xi held the reins in his hand, "General Lao is leading the way." ”

Under the vast night, a hundred horsemen were speeding through the wind, looking at the barren wilderness that kept flashing behind him, Liu Xi couldn't help but look at a place on the west side, and his eyes gradually became rosy.

A lonely mound there is a fetter that Liu Xi can't let go of in his heart.

Liu Xi's appearance, Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu saw it in their eyes, and when they went to Chang'an to pass through here before, they had already found that Liu Xi was very depressed for a while.

It's just that there are some emotions that are not suitable for getting to the bottom of it, so they never ask.

The same is true for the moment.

Therefore, after looking at the direction that Liu Xi's eyes were reluctant to retract, Ma Xiu and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, and both sighed silently.

The horse-made Lu was fast, galloped for a while, and soon arrived at Xinyang City.

Liu Han's army attacked, the situation became tense, and it was naturally heavily guarded here, but with the 'water cold' to guide the way, Liu Xi and his party entered the city quite smoothly.

Maybe it's still night, so Xinyang City is very quiet, but there are more soldiers patrolling the streets than usual, and everything else is no different, and you can even hear the snoring in the house when you pass by a few houses.

Even if Xinyang City bears the brunt of the war, it doesn't seem to affect the people's sleep.

Looking up at the distance getting closer and closer to the palace, Liu Xi felt a little respect in his heart, the war is about to start, and the people are stable, how can people not respect the governance side.

In front of the Zhenxi Palace, under the bright light of the red lantern, a majestic figure stood with his hands in his hands.

Princess Lan Jin, who poked her head out of the car window from time to time, saw this figure, her red and swollen eyes immediately burst into tears again, and before the carriage stopped, she rushed out of the car and rushed into the arms of the king of Zhenxi, "Uncle Wang......"

Before he finished his sentence, he couldn't stop crying.

With a deep sigh, King Zhenxi's tiger eyes flashed with some unbearability, and he asked the princess waiting beside him to take Princess Lan Jin into the mansion to rest.

"You come with me."

Glancing at Liu Xi, King Zhenxi said with an expression on his face, and then took the lead in turning around and walking towards the mansion.

Following the king of Zhenxi, Liu Xi walked through the winding eaves path, and finally stopped in front of a house facing a rockery.

Although the water has condensed into ice, a piece of crystal white half-wrapped rockery is also a special taste.

As the king of Zhenxi entered the house, there were many scriptures on the bookshelves in the house, and the candles in the bronze lamps of the bookcase flickered, and the firelight danced on the spread out rice paper.

There is a simple long sword hanging behind the bookcase, although the sword is not unsheathed, but it already makes people feel a little cool.

At this time, Liu Xi also saw that this was the study of the king of Zhenxi.

"Dangchang!"

After a crisp sound, a cold light flashed in front of Liu Xi's eyes, and the long sword that was still hanging on the wall before was already placed at Liu Xi's neck.

The speed of the action made Liu Xi secretly shocked, with Liu Xi's outstretched hand, it was not impossible to dodge, but it was not yet time to tear his face.

So Liu Xi couldn't dodge.

"What is your relationship with the Liu family of the Han Dynasty, and what is the purpose of entering the Tang Dynasty?"

King Zhenxi's eyes were cold, not inferior to the long sword in his hand, obviously he already knew that Liu Xi had used the 'Dragon and Snake Nine Changes' in Chang'an City, and guessed that Liu Xi could escape from the Han Dynasty with Princess Lan Jin with ulterior motives.

His face did not change, Liu Xi looked up and looked at the king of Zhenxi, "If I have the ambition you think, why don't you call the emperor in the Han Dynasty and do something to destroy the Tang Dynasty, with my ability, the prince should know that this is not a difficult thing." ”

Thinking that it was Liu Xi's mouth that killed the Tang Dynasty, King Zhenxi's face was a little more gloomy, and the long sword in his hand was close to Liu Xi's neck, and a trace of bright red blood also flowed out from the blade.

"Say, why did you get into Datang!"

King Zhenxi's voice was a little higher, and he also had more majesty.

Not caring at all about the momentum exuded by King Zhenxi, Liu Xi said slowly, "Does the prince remember the promise he made to Prince Liu Xi before?" In fact, Liu Xi has no intention of being powerful in his heart, and he does not want to be bound by these temple things, what he does is just revenge, otherwise how could he come to see the prince, and how could he easily let the prince put the sword on my neck. ”

With that, Liu Xi stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped it on the long sword glowing with cold light.

"Buzz ......"

Under the roar of the long sword, the sound broke into two, and half of the sword fell at the feet of the king of Zhenxi.

"Although the prince's cultivation is amazing, he must also know the strength of Liu Xi and his friends beside him, if I want to get out of this town and the West Palace, you can't stop me tonight."
