Knowing that Xie Yi had a letter from his family, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan were immediately excited, and their eyes turned red in an instant, and they almost shed tears.

When I opened the letter, I saw that there was not a single Chinese character on the white paper, all of which were crooked symbols.

"It's a secret letter, Liwan, read it!" Du Xijun glanced at it and handed the letter to Zheng Liwan. Before leaving, Xie Yi had taught them a symbol called "pinyin".

Xie Yi said that he was the only one in the entire Tang Dynasty who knew this kind of symbol, and from now on it would become the Xie family's unique secret communication and unique secret language.

The letter sent from Lingzhou is written in pinyin, which is definitely written by Xie Yi himself, and there must be a need for confidentiality.

Whether the letter fell into the hands of others on the way or was intercepted by the emperor, it was impossible to understand the contents of the letter, so as not to divulge the secret.

Zheng Liwan took the letter in her hand, read it carefully, and said softly: "San Lang is now in Lingzhou, and has asked His Majesty for a will, and is waiting for a reply. ”

Du Xijun asked, "Is he okay?" ”

"Everything is fine, Sister Xijun don't have to worry." Zheng Liwan continued to look down and said, "San Lang has an explanation, let us pay attention to it and do some foreshadowing, he seems to want to find a companion for His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"Really? I'm afraid this will have to be figured out slowly. Regarding Xie Yi's arrangement, Du Xijun is unconditionally trusting and obedient, and San Lang said that arranging a companion for the Jin Palace, then there must be a reason for him.

Zheng Liwan said: "Well, this matter has to wait for him to come back from Xue Yantuo before he can plan seriously." ”

"Anything else?"

Zheng Liwan pondered for a moment and said: "San Lang, let's be careful, the people who assassinated the prince in Leyou Yuan have appeared in Lingzhou, I'm afraid there will also be small activities in Chang'an, let us be cautious when we go in and out." ”

"With Leng Niangzi here, everything is fine, but San Lang is in the grassland and the land of aliens. It's a concern! Du Xijun looked at the northwest from afar, his eyes full of concern.

"Well, but Saburo said that he can handle it calmly, so let's not worry." Zheng Liwan immediately handed over the letter and said, "San Lang left a few words below. Sister, take a look. ”

Du Xijun looked at it and saw that the last line read: ainimen!

……

After two days in Lingzhou, the mission once again embarked on the itinerary and headed for the northwest border.

Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, personally sent him out of the city, and in the crowd of people who saw him off, Xie Yi also saw Li Jinghuan's figure.

Maybe it was the persuasion of Li Anning, the county lord of Jincheng, that played a role, and maybe Li Daozong himself was also involved, this prince finally woke up from the unrealistic "hostility", but when he saw Xie Yi, the time was still a little unnatural. But this time it's more embarrassing and embarrassing.

Looking at the happy situation of the Jiangxia County Wangfu family, Xie Yi was envious, and couldn't help but think of his wife and sister at home.

Following Li Daozong's recital, Xie Yi also wrote a letter back home, especially telling the post station to be delivered by express delivery, presumably it had been sent to the Bofu of Huaiyang County at this time.

When they see it, their eyes will probably be red, and they will even cry! I don't know if they're all okay? Explain the things to be told, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan will definitely do it. It's just that I'm going to Xue Yantuo. I don't know when I'll be able to return, the bitterness of lovesickness!

……

Depart from Lingzhou. In a few days, they crossed the Yellow River and entered the grassland.

A few days later, it was the so-called border of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, this was just a vacuum with empty troops, and it was difficult to have a clear border in this era, but Xue Yantuo and other grassland tribes did not dare and would not send troops here.

The good thing is. Before officially stepping out of the Tang Frontier, an edict from Chang'an was delivered. Sure enough, Li Shimin approved the proposal to crown Prince Xue Yantuo, and sent the decree as quickly as possible.

This is a good thing, with this paper edict. Acting in Xue Yantuo can have more confidence and means.

However, this is also a bad thing, Tui'en's edict will inevitably anger Zhenzhu Khan Yinan, before successfully dividing Xue Yantuo, if Yinan is angry and takes risks, it is difficult to say what the consequences will be.

Alas, it's nerve-wracking!

Xie Yi shook his head helplessly, and could only walk forward.

At this time, it is already the end of July and the beginning of August, the grass on the grassland has just begun to turn from green to yellow, under the clear blue sky, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep, and the scenery is not bad.

"The scenery of the northern country, the sky is vast and the wilderness is vast, but it is rare to see."

"It's rare that Master Xie has such an interest, if all the places in the north are in the hands of my Datang, I can enjoy the beautiful scenery for a good time, but now it's ......"

Di Zhixon shook his head and said, "No matter what, it's hard to be comfortable!" ”

Xie Yi said: "I hope that in the future, my Tang Dynasty King can completely repel foreign enemies, and completely incorporate this place into the territory, so that you can enjoy playing here." ”

"I hope there will be such a day, when Di Mou will come to gallop with his dogs." Di Zhixun also seems to be quite yearning for this, and he is also full of confidence in the Tang Dynasty and the emperor to expand the territory.

The mission entered the grassland cautiously for a long time, and Sun Wukai was cautious along the way, but he was also dutiful. But in reality, the expected threat did not materialize, and for the first few days there were no soldiers or tribes at all, except for a few herders from time to time.

"The rain on the grassland this year should be good, look at how good the grass is rising, and the autumn fat of horses, cattle and sheep is good." "The shepherds are now mowing the grass and storing the grass for the winter, and judging by the current situation, they will be able to survive the winter. ”

"This shows that this year's grassland has sufficient grain and grass, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, Xue Yantuo has the strength to launch a war, on the other hand, our Tang Dynasty has many disasters."

Xie Yi said helplessly: "In terms of time, Datang is already slightly inferior, and the pressure on our shoulders is great." ”

"yes!" Di Zhixon sighed lightly, rather heavily.

After walking for many days, the weather changed from cool to cold in the north, and the color of the grassland changed from green and yellow to dry yellow.

The Central Plains is only in the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is already late autumn on the grassland, especially in the morning and evening. If a north wind blows, snow may fall.

At this time, the mission could be regarded as truly entering the hinterland of Xue Yantuo, and it encountered more and more herdsmen tribes along the way, and it was not even cavalry with swords to come and go.

But after seeing the banner of Datang, they all behaved very respectfully, at least on the surface. The tribal leaders they met all respectfully came to visit the Tang envoys, and generously provided cattle and sheep for food, and then sent people to guide the envoys to the direction of the sweat tent.

Of course, at the same time, presumably another fast horse will be sent to the direction of the Khan's tent to inform Zhenzhu Khan of the news of the entry of the Tang Mission.

Thinking about it, now that Yi Nan has received the news, I don't know whether to prepare to meet the angels of the kingdom, or wait to give the Datang delegation a dismount? (To be continued......)
