Chapter 180: Preparations for Departure
When Zheng Liwan said this, Xie Yi was a lot more excited.
My previous thoughts were a little too negative, not to mention the food of the king, but the worries of the king. At least for the sake of his career development in Datang, this matter must be taken seriously.
Merit is important to oneself because it is about the title, it is about the growth of strength.
There are many enemies he has to face in Datang, all of them are high-ranking and powerful people, and if he wants to fight them and win, he must accumulate strong strength in a short period of time.
Merit is a fast channel to improve status, especially military merit, especially in front of the Guanlong nobles who started with military merit, which is even more important.
Sending Xue Yantuo is a chore, and it is also an important matter, as long as it is done well, it is a meritorious service, and His Majesty Li Er can treat himself badly? Moreover, they can also take this opportunity to have an understanding of the border defense and military situation, and to gain insight and exercise.
Although this trip has to endure a lot of hardships and even dangers, why not be a good opportunity?
As the saying goes, wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and this may also be one of the aspects, if people want to get something, they must pay a corresponding price.
"What Liwan said is very true, it is for her husband to hesitate, even if Xue Yantuo is the tiger's den in Longtan, what if we go on it?" Xie Yi smiled: "It's just a few months away, I can't bear you!" ”
"We can't bear you, but for the sake of the future, for a few months, we will wait for you back at home. However, when you get to the grassland, you are not allowed to ...... with the shepherdess casually."
Xie Yi smiled: "Of course not, I heard that people on the grassland don't bathe often, and the smell of mutton is very strong, but I am a person with a habit of cleanliness, how can I ......?"
"In those past few months, it has been hard for us San Lang."
"It doesn't matter, just feed me before you go, so I can starve for a while." As he spoke, Xie Yi's hands were already a little dishonest.
"You...... Go before these days. Do whatever you want. A pair of beauties bowed their heads shyly in agreement.
"Really?" Xie Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Okay, tonight...... You ...... together"
……
At dawn, Xie Yi moved his somewhat tired body, and two beautiful people, one on the left and one on the right, also woke up.
The two beauties took a look at the situation, especially when they saw each other, so they hurriedly pulled up the quilt and covered it tightly, and their two flushed faces were all buried in the quilt.
"It's all here, it's all over, what's so shy?" Xie Yi couldn't help but joke when he saw this scene.
That being said. But the more they said this, the more shy the two beauties became, and when they remembered what happened last night, their faces were like red apples.
Why did you agree in a daze? That scene last night, alas...... Seeing Xie Yi, I didn't think that after all, husband and wife were one, and they were already familiar.
On the contrary, when Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan met each other's eyes, they dodged again and again, as if they were ashamed of what happened last night. Embarrassed.
"You're all the fault." In the end, two pink fists smashed on Xie Yi's chest.
Xie Yi couldn't help but sigh that if there was no envoy this time, this slightly excessive wish would not be realized. Speaking carefully, it seems that Li Shimin has to be thanked.
But since it's an adventure. Then you should naturally relax before leaving, and it is not impossible to be "excessive" and lose it.
Although Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan were embarrassed, they finally accepted it, after all, they are now serving the same husband. We get along very well. With Xie Yi's temperament, such things will happen sooner or later.
But when it comes to receiving favors, especially when it comes to keeping seeds. Du Xijun always pushes Zheng Liwan forward, and the purpose is obvious. probably hoped that before Xie Yi left, he could leave an incense for the Xie family, but the heir is determined, whether Du Xijun's good intentions can be fulfilled who knows?
……
While being happy like a fairy, Xie Yi also had to prepare.
When the envoy is out, the imperial court will definitely send people to accompany him, the attendants of Honglu Temple, and the soldiers and horses to escort him. But that's not enough, count on them in times of crisis?
Thinking that the emperor has been assassinated many times under their protection, Xie Yi naturally doesn't say much to rest assured, in addition to using these people, he has to prepare some of his own hole cards.
Fortunately, now that there are Yebei and Snow Fall, and the men and horses they have recruited and organized, at least there are people available. While protecting your own safety and making the mission successfully completed, it can also be regarded as the assessment and training of your own strength.
When it comes to going to Saiwai, Yebei is the most excited, he is good at tracking and surviving in the wild, and the same is true on the grassland. As for the Snow Fall, it is the best choice for close guards.
If there is a conflict in the conversation, how can those steppe men with great brute strength be the opponents of Xue Yan? just took them all away, and Chang'an's family was a little reassuring.
I didn't want Zheng Liwan to wave her hand and said: "In the end, the city of Chang'an is stable, the Xie family is a mansion, and it should be safe and worry-free." It's Saburo, you're out on an envoy, it's all a land of tigers and wolves, and you should have more people around you. ”
"But can you? "......Thinking that the most important people in his life are all in Chang'an, Xie Yi is somewhat uneasy.
Du Xijun said: "Don't worry, we are in Chang'an, with Lu Guogong, King Jin and Princess Changle as help, and there is a cold lady inside, safe and worry-free, San Lang can rest assured." ”
Leng Niangzi is the younger sister of Yebei, she was a female assassin earlier, and she killed a lot, but later she got tired of the killer life, washed her hands of the golden basin, and now she is invited to come to Chang'an and become the female guard of the Bofu in Huaiyang County, responsible for protecting the safety of her relatives.
Come to think of it, my own family is the Bofu of Huaiyang County, Du Xijun and Mrs. Cai Guo's title, ordinary people can't afford to provoke it, not to mention a lot of well-connected foreign aid.
He was ordered to send an envoy, and Li Shimin would take more care of the Xie family, but there was nothing to worry about.
"Okay then, you guys are all kind in Chang'an."
"San Lang, you be careful, you must come back safely, we are waiting for you in Chang'an."
It's not time to say goodbye, and it's not in Baqiao, but the atmosphere is very strong, and even a little sad.
After settling down at home, Xie Yi began to set about asking Yebei and Xue Yan to arrange their entourage. Except for a few people who followed the servants of the Xie Mansion, most of the rest probably had to follow secretly, otherwise although they could play a role in defending against the enemy, they would also attract the attention of the imperial court.
Xie Yi didn't reveal his true strength too early, especially to avoid arousing suspicion, so he had to make adjustments.
With the arrangements made around him, Yebei even took the first step to start investigating on the way to Xue Yantuo's tent to prevent accidents.
Xie Yi entered the palace and went to meet Emperor Li Shimin again, listened to the king's admonitions, and tried his best to seek help and support.
In order to ensure that this mission can be successfully completed, and return from Saibei safely, waiting for the reward for meritorious deeds...... (To be continued......)
