Chapter 48: Tattoos

Xiao Tan hugged Zhao Xuan, and looked like she was almost about to cry, with her personality as a Da Liao woman, it was rare to do this, and she only cried to Zhao Xuan, because Xiao Tan understood that this farewell might not be seen for a long time. The situation in the Song Dynasty is dangerous, and Zhao Xuan insists on going back, what if the emperor of the Song Dynasty and that Empress Liu, and even his good brother Zhao Yingfu suddenly attack and want to kill him?

"Brother Xuan, don't go back, I can live in seclusion with you, away from the rights and wrongs of this world."

Xiao Tan said this sincerely, suddenly she was tired of the struggle for interests between countries and deceit, she just wanted to wander the world with her lover.

Zhao Xuan also took Xiao Tan in his arms and comforted: "Sister Tan, don't worry about me, I will deal with it carefully." I'll leave the inn first, the killer sent by the queen outside didn't see you, and must think you're still with me. ”

Xiao Tan wiped away his tears: "Brother Xuan, I understand, a manly man still puts the country's social affairs first, and I won't pester you casually." ”

The two relied on each other for a while before Zhao Xuan got up and left the inn.

As soon as he walked out of the inn, Zhao Xuan obviously felt that there were people around him secretly watching the direction of the inn gate, he had already changed into the clothes of the people, and he deliberately changed his appearance, only these people could not see his true face.

It's just that what surprised Zhao Xuan was that Empress Liu's people were still arresting people in Xijing, Liao State, so swaggeringly, which shows that the interests of the two countries are quite close behind their backs. Obviously, Yeluda is also involved, Xijing is located at the junction of the two countries, and it is also a place of trade, so it is naturally mixed, Xiao Xun also took two-faced measures for this, and those who have no interests are all arrested, and those who have relevant interests turn a blind eye.

If you ride a good horse in Xijing, it only takes a few days to reach Bianjing, so the border is not dangerous since ancient times, it is thought that it is a great disaster for the Southern Dynasty, and in the Taizu period, in order to prevent the northern cavalry from entering the Pingchuan River, the use of depressions, a variety of elms and the establishment of fortresses to buffer the march of the cavalry. However, this was only a palliative treatment, and at the time of the Yuanyuan Alliance, the Liao army still adopted tactics to circumvent these obstacles. It's just that what Zhao Xuan didn't expect was that when he first came out of the customs, it could be said that the road was unimpeded. But as soon as he entered the Song realm this time, he encountered all kinds of difficulties, and the border of the Song Dynasty was vigorously checking the passers-by, needless to say, it must be coming at Zhao Xuan, in order to catch him halfway and prevent him from returning to Beijing.

As a last resort, Zhao Xuan could only avoid the official road and deliberately chose the trail, he understood that it was impossible to enter the country as a businessman, Xiao Xun must tell him about his fake businessman identity in Xijing, these people are really annoying, and they don't want him to die, and they have to set up all kinds of obstacles. wanted to exclude Zhao Xuan from the center of power, but he was reluctant to do his exercises.

There is also a checkpoint on the sheep intestine trail, and Song Jun is here to investigate, Zhao Xuan understands that he can't hide today. Empress Liu seems to be determined not to let people go back, she is different from Liao, she really doesn't want Zhao Xuan to live in the world.

The head of the Song General has a tattoo on his face, which makes Zhao Xuan quite strange, usually the people who tattoo the words on their faces are criminals, and they are generally tattooed with a black character and are ashamed, and there are very few tattoos on the face, and the pattern of this tattoo is very strange, like the combination of a dragon and a phoenix, who is this in front of you?
