CHAPTER XXXVIII

There are four main halls built in the inner palace of Luoyang, among which the Qinglong Hall is the place where the court affairs are handled, the Vermilion Bird Hall is the place where the ancestors of the royal family of the past dynasties are worshipped, the Xuanwu is the place where the rewards and punishments are trained and the sundries are handled, and the White Tiger Hall is specially placed for visiting envoys and the important ministers of the imperial court.

Originally, the princess of the Western Regions and her entourage were supposed to rest in the pavilion for one night, and after the reception banquet, the queen would meet in person, and then introduce them to the White Tiger Hall to show respect. But now that the pavilion suddenly caught fire and was burned, it was inconvenient to arrange the princess outside, so after seeking Lin Yao's consent, it was arranged in the White Tiger Hall first.

Ming Xiang introduced Xia Qi and Qi Chi into the courtyard of the White Tiger Hall and gathered them as a courtesy. "Her Royal Highness the princess will inevitably be tired after being frightened all night, it is better to rest for the time being, and after the reception banquet, Dahonglu will make arrangements."

She patted her hands lightly, and the maids in the White Tiger Hall rushed out and divided into two columns. Some of the maids took the salute of the group from the Western Regions and arranged the residence according to their status, and the other part of the maids held clothes and water in their hands, and they were about to lead Xia Qi to the bedroom.

Ming Xiang nodded when he saw the well-organized maid, took a step back, and planned to leave.

"Wait." Qi Chi saw her action, and he didn't have time to speak, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed Ming Xiang.

Ming Xiang frowned slightly, turned around, and withdrew his arm without being rude. "I wonder what else is going on with the girl?"

"Second brother...... Will also him. Qi Chi's expression was a little embarrassed, and he wasn't sure whether he should ask the woman in front of him.

When she thought that Yijiang would fall, this woman instinctively supported the other party, and seemed to be very familiar with Yijiang.

She might know about Yijiang. But if ...... What is he planning, and will his rash actions disrupt his actions?

Seeing Qi Chi hesitate, Ming Xiang's attitude was polite and distant.

"General Yi has been wounded tonight and is temporarily unable to move. If the girl has anything to say, I'll pass it on to him. ”

"Where is he now?" Xia Qi patted Qi Chi's arm soothingly and walked in front of Ming Xiang.

"General Yi is now living in the General's Mansion." Ming Xiang replied.

Xia Qi did not ignore the resentment that flashed in the depths of Ming Xiang's eyes.

She stood up straight, her delicate body was particularly attractive under the wrapping of exotic clothes, and even Ming Xiang couldn't help but lose her mind when she saw it.

In all fairness, Xia Qi is extremely beautiful, and she is no different from Ming Xiang. is different from the gentle and introverted women of Chu State, her face is beautiful and bright, every expression is innate coquettish, and every gesture has a spontaneity and wildness that Chu women cannot show, just like a money leopard in a cage.

Ming Xiang lost his mind slightly under her blue eyes, and then covered up his gaffe.

Xia Qi nodded, raised her chin and said. "I am the princess beloved by the king of the Western Regions, and I came to the Chu Kingdom with the sincerity of the Western Regions. Now that the State of Chu has made a mistake in my safety, I believe that it will not neglect me again. ”

"The matter of walking on the water is really the time and people, and I hope the princess understands." Ming Xiang smiled, not being suppressed by Xia Qi's attitude.

Even though Xia Qi is the princess of the King of the Western Regions, she Mingxiang is also a student of Yingchuan Daxian, and she has the reputation of the first talented woman in Kyoto, how could she be taken away by the other party in terms of momentum.

Xia Qi hooked the corners of her mouth, this action made Ming Xiang look extremely familiar. "I was trapped in the fire tonight, but fortunately I was able to get out of danger with the help of Jun Gongzi and Yi Gongzi. Since the State of Chu is still planning to hold a reception banquet for me, please be sure to entertain my two benefactors together, and give me a chance to thank them. ”

"No." Ming Xiang was stunned and responded.

Even if Jun Mu doesn't forget it, he just found her out of the cellar where she was hiding, how can he still be a lifesaver?

*

"Also...... ......"

The two words that Xia Qi spit out also thundered in his mind, and he was caught off guard and pulled his consciousness into the dark abyss.

Before he passed out, there was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

I'm having fun watching it now.

The second-rank general appointed by the new emperor, the general sat down as a red man, not just a hairy boy, but also fainted to the ground for no reason when rescuing the princess of the Western Regions, which simply made all the generals lose their faces.

I'm afraid that after the celebration banquet, he will have to face the 'training' of the 'generals and captains'.

The severe headache tore at Yijiang's Zhihai, leaving him with no strength to think anymore, so he could only let the information in his mind continue to explode and reorganize.

It feels like a long, long time, or maybe it's just a moment.

The fragments of consciousness finally stopped moving, fixed there and connected with each other, gradually extending into a picture, which was displayed in front of his eyes.

In the picture, there is a vast and unusual prairie, the sky of the grassland is as blue as a wash, and the sun is dazzling, so that people who walk through the grassland have to wear heavy clothes to resist the midday heat.

On this grassland, a brown mark slowly walked forward.

Brown is the color of horse-drawn carts and ox-carts. The car was loaded with goods, and the people accompanying them could only walk together next to the car.

It was clearly a convoy of goods, and the entire convoy was accompanied by young men of adult age, and no women or children could be found. Only, there is one exception.

He also looked at it intently.

A small figure fell in the back of the convoy. At the age of five or six, it seemed difficult to even walk, but he gritted his teeth and followed the back of the convoy.

The leader of the convoy seemed to notice the figure, so he deliberately slowed down in a safe place as he walked, stopping frequently to rest so that the little boy could catch up with the crowd.

He turned around, saw the boy's figure far away, sighed, and raised his hand again.

"Boss, rest again?" The people behind the convoy made disgruntled voices. This is not yet the scheduled place, and I have rested three or four times.

The leader struck them on the head with the leather whip in his hand. "I'm about to get out of the customs, so I'll tighten my skin and walk faster in a while. Otherwise, you will provoke horse thieves, and don't blame me for leaving you and running away by yourself. ”

After teaching the men a lesson, he walked to the back of the convoy and looked at the staggering little figure.

"Hey, little baby, I've let you follow all the way. Further on there is a place where horse thieves are rampant, and we can't slow you down for you, so you can find a place to rest nearby. ”

"I'm not called Xiaowa, I'm called Yijiang." The boy raised his head, although he was embarrassed, but it did not affect the smile on his face to greet him.

"You go your own way, even if you encounter a horse thief, don't worry about me." will also pout. On the contrary, if you encounter a horse thief, don't worry about him, a convoy with goods or a little boy with nothing, which attracts the attention of the horse thief more?

Even if the horse thief saw him, he probably didn't bother to distract a five-year-old child, and at most he would be caught working as a coolie or reselling his goods.

The chief, of course, saw what he was thinking, and slapped him over. "You little baby, don't you know that horse thieves are going to kill?"

"And there is no benefit, who will go to waste their efforts to kill a small child." He also pushed it back.

The leader laughed and shook his head, "It's really a waste of effort to kill a small child, and it's no good, but it doesn't mean that no one will do it." ”

In this world, human life is not valuable, is there less to kill a bastard who makes fun of people?

Forget it, what does he have to say to a little doll.

"Xiaowa, you've been following the convoy for so long, where are you going?"

In fact, the leader was also a little curious.

It was with his approval that he would follow the convoy, but under what circumstances would a five-year-old child endure all the hardships and go on the road alone, and still know how to find shelter around him?

"I'm Aweng leaving a letter, asking me to go to the gate to find a gentleman named Wang Da." also returned the milk in the milk.

"What about you?" The leader asked.

Yijiang was silent for a moment, but did not answer.

The leader understood, and reached out to rub his hair. "When you're out of the gate, you'll sit on my horse. But I can only send you to the Changyang grassland, and you have to find the rest of the way. ”

He will also hear the words of the leader and raise his head in surprise. He folded his hands together and made a solemn gesture. "The virtue of grace will also be remembered. If there is a fate in the future, I will definitely repay this kindness. ”
