A moment later, Zuo Yang and Li Hanqiu, led by two sincerely frightened guards, finally bypassed the palace and came to the east palace on the east side of the palace.

Different from the rules of the Central Plains, the East Palace of the Western Xia Palace was not the residence of the prince, but simply a place to arrange guests.

"This is it, the two envoys have other orders."

Standing at the door, the two guards didn't dare to raise their heads, but lowered their eyebrows and asked in a way.

"No, go about your own business."

Zuo Yang nodded slightly.

"The subordinates retired."

The two guards immediately gave a salute and fled as if they had been granted amnesty.

Don't dare to stay, this envoy doesn't seem to have a good temper, in case he says something wrong, the dismissal is still a trivial matter, if he is also convicted and imprisoned in that dungeon, then he really doesn't even know how he died.

It was only at this time that Zuo Yang looked sideways at Li Hanqiu, lowered his voice and said: "Li Nuxia, as far as I know, Su Bailing's concubine and disciple's martial arts are at the same level as Xingzi and Yuyangzi, and it shouldn't bring us too many obstacles, the only thing worth noting is Su Bailing himself, this person is equivalent to your skill realm, and it seems that he still has some unusual evil skills, so he has to guard against it." ”

"Got it, I'll listen to your arrangement after I go in."

Li Hanqiu nodded obediently.

Even she didn't realize how proud and assertive she was before, but since she met Zuo Yang in the Tatar king, she gradually obeyed this unmasked guy...... Obviously, she has found that this guy's martial arts are not as high as hers, and there are many qualities on him that she despises, but she can't help but obey him, and even occasionally, she will secretly congratulate herself that she met him, and did not become an enemy with him, but joined him.

"It's best that way, our goal is to have no casualties, and whatever is left is secondary."

Zuo Yang grinned, finally didn't say anything more, and strode towards the gate of the East Palace.

……

The East Palace is not a palace, at best it is just an annex.

There were still Xixia guards guarding the door, but they saw with their own eyes that the other guards escorted Zuo Yang and the others to the door, and they were so respectful, and they didn't dare to ask anything, but they silently stood up and bowed and opened the door for Zuo Yang and the others.

Of course, the main reason is that the East Palace is a place to arrange guests, which is not an important place in the Western Xia Palace, and the guards must naturally be lax.

"Where are the Nakshatra Sect?"

When passing by them, Zuo Yang asked in passing.

"The second courtyard on the left-hand side, my subordinates are willing to take adults there."

A more clever guard hurriedly said earnestly.

"No need."

Zuo Yang didn't squint, and the guard didn't dare to say anything, so he had to show a slightly embarrassed smile and retreat to the side with a red face.

After a while, Zuo Yang and the others had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard pointed by a guard.

Through the open door Zuo Yang found that this is actually a courtyard with Suzhou garden style, the door is a round arch made of bricks and stones, the walls are painted white, there are still several soft-shaped grille windows on the wall, the wall is paved with blue-gray tiles, and the branches of some plants stretch out of the courtyard from the wall, which is quite a little "a branch of red apricot out of the wall" coquettish charm.

In addition to this, there is also a wooden sign nailed to the side of the arch with several traditional Chinese characters written on it - Zexiu Yuan.

It seems that the Tangut people also studied the culture of the Central Plains, or was this courtyard built to house the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?

“……”

glanced at Li Hanqiu, the two bowed silently, and then walked into the courtyard one after the other.

Zuo Yang, the only cobblestone path, had no intention of admiring the scenery on both sides, and walked quickly through this path to the front of several wings in the courtyard.

"Who?"

A coquettish sound followed.

They had already been spotted by a young girl, who held down the dagger hanging from her waist and stared at them with a wary expression.

This person Zuo Yang has also seen on Laoshan Mountain, it is the only female disciple among Su Bailing's disciples, her name is Ah Yan, Zuo Yang affirmed her appearance at that time, but compared with Murong Xian of Murong Villa and Dongfang Aoxue of the Oriental Family, this girl is still a little worse, especially in terms of temperament, she is not at the same level at all.

"Little junior sister, is someone coming?"

The man sitting next to the stone table also quickly stood up, this was Su Bailing's other male disciple, Tian Xiaozi.

However, after Tian Xiaozi stood up, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to grope for the help of the stone table to stabilize his figure...... At this time, Zuo Yang realized that Tian Xiaozi's eyes were blind, and they should have been blind recently, the wounds on them had not completely scabbed, and the black-red flesh and blood turned out in that place looked extremely terrifying.

"Where is Su Bailing?"

Zuo Yang didn't talk nonsense with him, but just asked coldly.

"My master is in retreat and cultivating, no one is allowed to disturb him!"

Ah Yan immediately stood in front of them, pointed to Tian Xiaozi next to the stone table in a warning tone and said, "This person is my senior brother, he just didn't bother the master with long eyes, and was immediately gouged out by the master, at this moment, no one should touch my master's moldy head, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

While he was saying this.

"Squeak!"

Hearing the movement outside, a door in the side room also opened instantly, and a middle-aged woman who still had charm also walked out of it quickly, this person was Su Bailing's concubine Lan Ji.

"Two adults, I don't know what to do when you suddenly come to visit?"

Seeing that Zuo Yang and the others were wearing the clothes of the Dangxiang clan, Lan Ji naturally regarded them as people sent by the Western Xia royal family, twisted her waist and stepped forward, showing a charming smile and asked.

"I want to see Su Bailing."

Zuo Yang still said.

"The two adults forgive the sins, our head is in retreat and cultivation inside, and it is really inconvenient to meet the two of you."

Lan Ji came closer, stirred the messy hair of her sideburns, and then pointed to the main room behind her, looked at Zuo Yang with her eyes, and said in a royal sister voice that made many otaku crazy, "If you have anything to say, you can talk to Lan Ji, if it is a trivial matter, Lan Ji can answer the adult, if it is something that Lan Ji can't decide, when our head is free, Lan Ji can also tell you." ”

"In this case, this matter is very important, and it must not be heard by outsiders, so come here, and I will listen to you with my ear?"

Zuo Yang finally grinned and hooked his finger at Lan Ji.
