The mission traveled north along the banks of the Yellow River, just as the sun was setting.

Xie Yi looked at the scene in the distance, and subconsciously recited the famous sentence in the Tang poem: The desert is lonely and the smoke is straight, and the sun sets on the long river!

When Di Zhixun heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "This is a new poem by Master Xie?" ”

Belch......

Xie Yi couldn't help but shake his head secretly, what's the matter...... But there was no way to explain this, so I could only nod helplessly.

"I have long heard that Mr. Xie is talented, and his poetry is very good, but when I saw it today, I didn't see it, just these two sentences will explain the beautiful scenery in front of me, and it is just right and incisive."

Di Zhixun said: "There should be more than these two sentences, right?" I wonder if I can chant them all, so that the official can open his eyes? ”

"Ah......" Xie Yi couldn't help but be embarrassed, the full text of this poem ...... I didn't seem to remember it so clearly for a while, and this thing was to be read out indecently, wouldn't it......

"Don't hide it from Di Shilang, there are one or two more careless and proper places in this poem, and we still need to consider it, let's wait later!" Xie Yi had to find an excuse to excuse himself.

"Okay, I'll see." Di Zhixun was full of smiles, and he remembered in his heart that his son had entered the Jin Palace. In the Jin Palace, not only can you get the teachings of those great Confucians, Xie Yi will also have more points, with the teaching of the first genius in the world, his son should be more beneficial, right?

It seems that we really have to think of a way to let Master Xie help more and make this matter as good as possible.

In this way, Di Shilang was even more polite to Master Xie. When he camped at night, he also specially toasted Bachelor Xie to pay tribute, which couldn't help but make Xie Yi a little embarrassed.

However, just as Xie Yi was planning to enjoy a bonfire party on the bank of the Yellow River and camp in the open air, an accident happened.

When the chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded, Yebei reacted immediately, and after telling Xue Yan to protect Xie Yi, he disappeared into the night. Captain Sun Wukai, who was in charge of leading the five hundred entourage, was also nervous, yes, he was the one who led the troops.

Since the fight of the ninety into the palace escort meritorious service. Sun Wukai was favored by His Majesty Li Er, and now he is already a captain of Zhaowu, and the marriage with the little lady of the Qin family naturally came to pass.

It's just that it will take some time to get married, and it is His Majesty Li Er's will to let him follow the embassy escort, and it is also Sun Wukai's own wish.

He didn't have so many worries about this mission, and felt that this was an opportunity, it was rare for His Majesty the Emperor to be serious, how could he be embarrassed?

Marriage can be postponed a little, but the opportunity is rare, this thousand miles down. It's another great achievement, so why not?

Of course, after all, it is an envoy to a foreign country in the grassland, and there are still dangers, so I am somewhat mentally prepared. But Sun Wukai never expected that this is the place where there is a large army stationed in Lingzhou in the territory of Datang, and there will be such trouble?

Hearing the noisy sound of horses' hooves, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten. Sun Wu ordered the soldiers to line up and form a defensive formation. Protect Xie Yi and Di Zhixon in the middle, and at the same time be prepared to escort the two dignitaries out at any time if there is anything unusual.

Xie Yi and Di Zhixun looked at each other. But the faces of both of them were normal, and they did not panic. Xie Yi has experienced the assassination of Shaanzhou and Leyou, and he can be regarded as a person who has seen the world.

Di Zhixun is the governor of Liangzhou, and he can be regarded as having military experience. I've seen the scenes of thousands of troops, let alone the situation in front of me.

If it's daytime, it's all well said. But at night......

The view is blocked, and I don't know what is abnormal, which is the most helpless part. Fortunately, Yebei is good at chasing and walking at night, I hope he can find something.

Sure enough, Yebei did not disappoint, and sent back a safe message a moment later, which immediately made people breathe a sigh of relief.

By the time Yebei returned to the camp, about a dozen or twenty horses had already galloped near the camp and took the initiative to light their torches.

Under the light of the fire, it can be seen that they are all dressed in Tang costumes, led by a man and a woman, who seem to be very old. Girls, in particular, look no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

Behind him is a group of people who look like servants, but they are all armed with weapons and even equipped with horizontal knives in the army, are they from the government?

But Di Zhixon reminded him that the chaotic land in the northwest was no better than Chang'an, the weapons control was not so strict, and it was not strange for ordinary people to be equipped with horizontal swords and even strong crossbows.

So the identities of these people are not yet certain, but looking at their situation, it seems that they have just escaped the pursuit, and they are all disgraced, and there are even hanging colors.

Who are they? Why was there an ambush in the middle of the night? Was the ambush real or not, and why did it appear near the camp? Is it a coincidence, a call for help, or is it a purposeful approach?

Xie Yi's heart was suddenly full of greetings, and the security signal released by Shicai Yebei was mainly aimed at the number and threat of suspected enemies, and it was naturally difficult for a dozen or twenty people to shake the five hundred envoy guards.

But after appearing in the mission, you have to be careful, after all, you have to guard against people!

"You are the envoy of the Tang Dynasty to Xue Yantuo?"

Without waiting for Xie Yi to speak, the young man led by him opened his mouth to ask, and he asked so accurately. Xie Yi and Di Zhixun glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Although the mission was not a secret, not many people knew the whereabouts of the mission. In the darkness of the wilderness, it is obviously unusual to be able to identify a group of troops with weapons in their hands.

It was Xie Yi who couldn't help but wonder a little, was this son secretly following behind? So what are his intentions?

"Yes." Surprisingly, Xie Yi did not deny it.

"Great." Without waiting for the young man to speak, the girl next to him took the lead and said, "It's great, we are ......"

"Little sister!" The young man shouted, stopping the girl at the right time, apparently not wanting his sister to reveal his true identity.

The young man said: "Hello everyone, my father is an official of the Lingzhou Assassin Mansion, and today I went out to visit relatives with my little sister, and I was a little late when I returned, and I didn't want to be attacked by gangsters, but fortunately the two rescued each other." ”

"Really?" Xie Yi replied lightly, obviously not moved by this lame story. The more this is the case for young men, the more they want to cover it up, and the more suspicious they become.

"Where we came to our rescue, you came here by yourselves."

"Where?" The young man shook his head; "It is precisely because the mission is camped here that it has played a sufficient deterrent effect, so the gangsters did not dare to continue the pursuit, and we were able to escape from the tiger's mouth, so I still have to thank you."

"You're polite, I don't know what kind of bandits are chasing the two? In addition, what is the name of the honorable driver? Xie Yi waved his hand and asked in a calm voice.

"A fierce bandit, maybe a horse thief, right? I didn't see much clearly in the dark night...... "The young man said leisurely: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, under the name Jinghuan, this is the ...... of the house" (to be continued......)
