"Huh?"

Uncle Conch was stunned after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Zuo Yang in surprise, as if he didn't hear what Zuo Yang was saying.

After all, although this guy has also been with Zuo Yang for a while, he has been following him to deal with NPCs, and he has never seen Zuo Yang show physiognomy, so he has no idea about Zuo Yang's real ability.

"Believe me, you don't need to walk the road you came, at this time, you can reach the nearest Jiayu Pass by walking another 200 miles to the south, and you will belong to the Central Plains when you enter the pass, go ahead."

Zuo Yang didn't say much, just patted Uncle Conch's shoulder, then turned around and signaled to Li Hanqiu, and the two embarked on the road to the royal capital of Western Xia together.

"Thank you for your help, today's grace is unforgettable."

Looking at the backs of Zuo Yang and Li Hanqiu, Lu Mao and the others hurriedly knelt down again to express their gratitude to Zuo Yang.

In their eyes, Uncle Conch is the master of Zuo Yang who stayed behind to escort them back to the Central Plains, plus the dry food and fresh water that were distributed to them before, this is simply sending the Buddha to the West, how many people can do it to this extent when they meet in Pingshui?

"Hero, my name is Lu Mao, he returned to the Central Plains in the future, please go to the capital to find me, I will be grateful!"

Lu Mao shouted at Zuo Yang at the top of his voice, as if he was afraid that Zuo Yang would go to him.

"I'll see you later."

Zuo Yang didn't look back, just waved his hand, and walked farther and farther.

"Uh......"

Uncle Conch was still pondering what Zuo Yang had just said.

As the player moderator of this game, he naturally has a deeper understanding of this game than ordinary players, so he has never been able to understand what Zuo Yang's last sentence meant...... Not to mention whether escorting Lu Mao and the others is an adventure task, even if it is an adventure mission, the reward is very random, and before completing the task, no player can say clearly what kind of reward he can get in the end.

But Zuo Yang's tone is so affirmative, it doesn't look like a foolish word that he came up with improvised to let him go first, not to mention that with his relationship with Zuo Yang, if he really wants him to go first, he just needs to put out the stakes and say it directly, where is the need to play such a trick?

So, why, or rather relying on, did Zuo Yang be so sure that the reward of this task would not disappoint him?

"Righteous man, the hero has gone away, this place is the land of tigers and wolves, and the people from the Western Xia royal capital don't know when they will chase after them again, why don't we also go?"

After Lu Mao gave those dry food and fresh water to the people next to him, he saw that Uncle Conch was still contemplative, so he took the initiative to come forward and said, "Most of us are weak and can't walk too fast, even the nearest Jiayuguan is afraid that it will take two or three days to walk, but as long as we enter Jiayuguan, we don't have to worry about us, there is a villain's chamber of commerce in the pass, and someone will pick us up." ”

"Oh, oh, that's okay, let's go."

Uncle Conch came back to his senses and nodded.

"If we can return to the Central Plains alive this time, how about the righteous man stay in Jiayuguan for a few more days? Lu will also prepare a thank you gift for the righteous man, please be sure to accept it with a smile. ”

Lu Mao followed behind and walked two steps again.

"This is coming?"

Uncle Conch was stunned again, and this is the mention of rewards!

He knew very well that Zuo Yang had not told Lu Mao about this before, even when he assured him that the reward would not be bad, he whispered it in his ear, and it should be impossible for Lu Mao to hear it.

……

At noon the next day.

Two people, a man and a woman, dressed in the costumes of the Dangxiang clan, finally came to the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty.

Although the size of the Western Xia royal capital is similar to that of the Tatar royal capital, it is not as splendid as the Tatar royal capital, where a large number of blue-gray stone is used as a building material, which looks very solemn, and at a glance echoes with the snow-capped tops of the high mountains in the distance, but there is also another kind of elegant beauty.

For example, if the capital of the Tatar kings is compared to a city of gold, then the capital of the Western Xia kings is a city of silver, of course, it is only about appearance, not about value.

"Stop, who's coming?"

Seeing Zuo Yang and the others walking slowly, the Xixia guards at the door immediately greeted them.

"Huh."

Zuo Yang smiled indifferently, and together with Li Hanqiu, he showed the bone waist card he got from Xingzi and Yuyangzi.

"It turned out to be an envoy of the palace, and his subordinates were negligent, please let me go!"

The Western Xia guards immediately retreated to the side with a smile on their faces, making way for Zuo Yang and Li Hanqiu.

"We're going to the East Palace, and we're tired of leading the way."

Zuo Yang was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to say to the leading guards, Yuyangzi once said that with this waist card, he can call the guards, and of course Zuo Yang has to use such a convenient function.

"You two, escort the two royal envoys to the East Palace, there must be no mistake!"

The head of the guard didn't talk nonsense, and immediately named two people to give an order, and then saluted Zuo Yang as if flattering, and said, "Two envoys, if there are any requirements on the road, just call these two people." ”

"Hmm."

Zuo Yang nodded, let out a cold and arrogant nasal voice, and followed the two guards to stride towards the city, the palace envoy, how can there be no style?

Such a group of four people walked on the street of the Xixia royal capital, many stores with Chinese characters signboards on both sides of the street have been empty, not only the doors have different degrees of damage, those signboards are also full of holes, the furnishings inside are even more horizontal and vertical as if they were bandits, and mottled blood stains can be seen in some places.

These should be the shops of the Han people who originally lived in the city, which is shocking.

After a while, a group of four people have come to the main gate of the Xixia Palace, which is a city within a city, after entering the main gate, due north is the palace layered on top of each other, the architectural style of the palace is somewhat similar to the capital of the Central Plains, but there are some more unique decorations of ethnic minorities.

To the west is a towering gray spire building, with two large iron fence gates tightly closed, and a plaque with the words "Dungeon of the Royal Capital" on it...... Through the iron fence gate, you can see the heavily armed guards stationed inside, and there are more guards here than outside the city gates.

"Ah——!h

A terrible scream suddenly came from the depths of the dungeon, giving people a creepy feeling.

This should be the dungeon that Lu Mao and others said could be called a "Han concentration camp", Zuo Yang thought silently, but he didn't ask the two guards who led the way, so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

However, the two guards were very conscious, and actually took the initiative to speak:

"Don't look at these Han people who are alive and kicking now, at night their bodies will be sent to the ice cellar behind the palace."

"But isn't the ice cellar used to store ice for the palace to escape the heat? With so many corpses only coming in but not out, will anyone dare to use the ice in this ice cellar in the future? Your Excellency, you said yes, right? ”

There was a little bit of thought in the words of the two of them, which was similar to Zuo Yangtao.

"Do your own thing, don't ask too much if you shouldn't, it's not good for you!"

Zuo Yang secretly wrote down this detail, but he was very involved in the play, and immediately drank coldly.

"The envoy forgives us, blame us for talking too much."

The two guards thought they had said the wrong thing, and they hurriedly fell to the ground in fright.

"Get up, I have something important to do when I go to the East Palace, and I can't delay!"

Zuo Yang said coldly.
