On the second day, Shutong changed into the special clothes of the border city, took Hongxia and Xiaoluzi, and went out for a stroll!

I found that the city was very prosperous, and there were more women than men on the streets, and every woman wore a beautiful scarf!

There are many small stalls selling all kinds of handmade clothes and accessories!

Shu Tong happily strolled, and bought it if he thought it was good, and soon Xiao Luzi carried a big bag!

The special food here also makes Shutong's index finger move, and he eats while shopping!

Because of my interest, I don't care if the people behind me are tired or not, at noon, I eat at a small roadside shop full of people!

The local food is rough and bold, not as delicate and chic as the capital, but because of the majority of meat, she eats it very happily!

After eating, I continued to walk around until dusk, and then I went back satisfied!

Hongxia and Xiao Luzi behind them were holding big bags and small bags, dragging their already stiff legs, although they were so tired, they both had smiles on their faces!

When the second master saw them coming back, he hurriedly greeted them, "The master is back, and there are a lot of greetings today!" Your Majesty has also sent people to ask a few times, and I want to invite you over to the banquet! ”

Shutong waved his hand, after a day of shopping, his stomach was full!

"I'm not going!"

Go back to your room, freshen up and go to bed!

Heng Xuan learned that the national teacher refused to appreciate his face, so he could only give up!

He sat down with him, a middle-aged woman who was a bright ** person, she was the city lord Xin Jing!

Knowing that the national teacher would not come, she was a little regretful, she was pregnant and had a big belly and was slow to move!

She lifted her stomach up, picked up her wine glass and said, "Respect Your Majesty!" May my Great Zhou be forever! ”

In order to show her respect for the presence of the national teacher and the emperor, she arranged a three-day dinner!

This is the next day, the national teacher can't be invited, Hengxuan and the ministers are here!

Hengxuan is just like Shutong guessed, thinking about the border city!

Back then, the ancestors rewarded the border city to the Wing King as a fief, and the imperial power was here, so it gradually became indifferent, and in the minds of the people in the border city, the Xin family was the local ruler!

The Wing King guards the border city and holds an army of his own, which has been passed down for generations, and the team is stronger than before!

There was an army that was not directly under the command of the imperial court, and anyone in power would be worried!

Although at this moment, the Xin family is respectful, but if there is a sudden rebellion one day, Jingcheng will be out of reach, and it is easy to lose a large amount of land!

This problem was considered during the Emperor Taishang period, and he was also ready to make arrangements to slowly weaken the Xin family's army!

It's a pity that he suddenly fell ill, and then the king of Zhennan, who was in power, was temporarily shelved because of his improper name and bad words!

Hengxuan is on top, there is a national teacher in charge, and the world is decided, so he naturally doesn't want to have hidden dangers!

The so-called, under the whole world, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister!

When you become an emperor, you naturally hope to control the world!

This side of the city has been operated by the Xin family for several generations, and it has become an unstable existence!

Fortunately, the Xin family has been passed down from generation to generation, although it has military power, the family is powerful, this generation is just a woman, and there shouldn't be too much ambition!

The female city lord toasted, Hengxuan naturally wanted to give face, after three rounds of wine, the female city lord spoke, "The minister is far away in the border city, and he has also heard of the prestige of the national teacher, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it!" ”

Heng Xuan snorted, "The national teacher is used to cultivating and is impatient to meet people, but fortunately, if we have to stay here for a few days, there will always be a chance to meet!" ”

The female city lord nodded, "What Your Majesty said is very true! ”

"The Beirong mission has arrived, and today I will report that the king of Beirong South will accompany the saint to arrive tomorrow morning!"

"The Holy Maiden of Beijung?"

Heng Xuan's eyes moved, if there was any wind and grass in the neighboring country, he would naturally receive the news!

The Holy Maiden is inherited from generation to generation in Beirong, and it is said that her status in Beirong is higher than that of the royal family!

Qi said, "It is said that the saint never leaves Beirong, why did she come to Da Zhou?" ”

The female city lord nodded, "The minister specially asked, it is said that he heard that His Majesty accompanied the national teacher to come, and the holy woman automatically asked to come and wanted to exchange Taoism with the national teacher!" ”

Hengxuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he suddenly felt uneasy!

According to the news I got, the saintess of Beirong has quite a means, and when Beirong encounters any famine, she asks the saint to beg for heaven, and it often works!

He couldn't help but suspect that this so-called holy woman was a cultivator like the national teacher!

He unconsciously stroked the golden cup in his hand, and he didn't know who was more powerful, the saint or the national teacher?

Beirong and the Great Zhou have a natural barrier, and the Lianyun Mountains are steep, like a piece of sword that goes straight into the sky, naturally dividing the two countries!

The mountains are so long and steep that there is no way to climb them, only a narrow passage through which they can travel to and from each other!

The entrance to this passage is at the border city pass, so this side of the city is also the top priority!

Hengxuan will be worried that if the Xin family is against him, it is inevitable that he will cause disaster!

Seeing that His Majesty was silent, the female city lord also had a slight suspicion in her heart!

"Your Majesty, the hunting ceremony has been prepared, and the minister has arranged a banquet for the Beirong envoy tomorrow!"

Heng Xuan nodded nonchalantly, "The Xin family has been operating in the border city for several generations, you can rest assured!" ”

Listening to his words, the female city lord's eyebrows moved, and she smiled bitterly, "It is also the kindness of the imperial court that allows the Xin family to guard the border city, and the ministers should be the liver and brains to repay the king's kindness!" ”

Her attitude is deferential, her posture is very low, and she opens her mouth and closes her mouth to be a subordinate!

Hengxuan was in a better mood, thinking of the news he heard, and secretly relieved!

The Xin family has been passed down for several generations, and the heir who was finally cultivated is because of a man who wants to die or live!

The female city lord can only give up and re-cultivate, but this next generation is still in her belly, and it will take at least ten years to grow, so there is no hurry!

smiled at the moment, "Why didn't I see your son-in-law today?" ”

The female city lord cultivates the eldest lady as an heir, and she will bring it to the banquet, and it is not rude for Heng Xuan to ask like this!

The female city lord smiled bitterly, "My daughter is a little willful, please forgive your majesty!" ”

Yesterday, the son-in-law Xin Yao, although she danced a dance at the banquet, she kept a straight face the whole time.

The daughter raised by her own hands, where can you not guess her thoughts?

It's just that I want to use Your Majesty to take her to the capital and take the opportunity to find the Xie family boy!

The female city lord was annoyed, this daughter had disappointed her too much, and since she had two hearts, she couldn't push her in front of His Majesty anymore!

Fortunately, His Majesty just had an appreciative attitude, and he didn't see anything special for his daughter!

When the new emperor ascended the throne, she has been paying attention to the movements of the capital and knows that the emperor is only accompanied by the queen!

Her daughter was disobedient, and she was lucky enough to get pregnant, so she decided to give up on her and retrain the next generation!

As the daughter of the Xin family, she has to repay the cultivation of the family, Xin Yao is very good-looking, if she can enter the palace as a concubine, she can ensure the prosperity of the Xin family!

It's a pity that this child is still a tendon, she took the initiative to dance last night, and the female city lord guessed her mind at that time, and secretly gritted her teeth.

Today, I directly sent someone to watch her in prison and she was not allowed to go out!

It's okay that Your Majesty didn't take a fancy to it, otherwise if she really brought people into the palace, if this girl did something to get red apricots out of the wall, the foundation of the Xin family for several generations would be ruined!

Hengxuan just said casually, that Xin Yao is good, but there are many beauties in the world!

Moreover, he attaches more importance to the foundation of imperial power!

The queen is gentle and virtuous, and has the support of the national teacher, he has no plans to take a concubine for the time being!
