It's getting dark. Horse-drawn carriages drove on the official road.

Ming Yue looked at Xia Qingtong sitting in the carriage, looking a little helpless.

"You-"

"What's wrong with me?"

Xia Qingtong raised his eyes to look at Ming Yue, and his eyes were round. It seems to mean that if you dare to accuse me, I will fight with you now.

Ming Yue's gaze fell on the string of Buddhist beads in Xia Qingtong's hand. The melancholy in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Soul Sickness. I don't know how to solve it.

How will he keep her safe?

"I don't care anyway, I'm going to go with you."

"You don't even know where I'm going, so you said you wanted to come with me?"

"No matter." Xia Qingtong's attitude is unprecedentedly firm: "No matter where you go." Even if it's the ends of the earth. I'm going to be with you too. ”

Some willful words made Ming Yue's heart soften.

He reached out and took her into his arms.

"I can't help it."

Xia Qingtong smiled contentedly. I knew in my heart that this was Mingyue's compromise. He agreed to let himself go with him.

Quietly enjoying the beautiful moment when the two of them hugged each other. But soon, Xia Qingtong withdrew from his arms.

"You haven't told me exactly where we're going."

"Go to Weicheng."

Weicheng?

Xia Qingtong frowned, Weicheng she knew.

The map of Dongzhao Kingdom, she almost knew it by heart during this time.

Dongzhao is connected to Beidi in the north, and Nanjiang is in the southwest. And the west is connected to the Western Liang Kingdom.

Because Beidi has always been ambitious. Xia Jianchang and her second uncle have been guarding Beidi. It has also brought peace to the north in recent years.

And Xiliang in the west, although the place is not inferior to Beidi's vastness. But further west, it's all desert and wasteland. The population is not as large as that of Dongzhao. The national strength is not strong, many years ago, Dongzhao and Xiliang fought.

Later, Xiliang was defeated. After the defeat of the other party, he declared himself a vassal to Dongzhao. Year after year.

After Emperor Qingren ascended the throne, in order to show benevolence and enlightenment, he opened the border and allowed the Eastern Zhao Kingdom to trade with Western Liang.

Because Xiliang is not much of a threat to Dongzhao. So Xia Qingtong has been traveling for so long, but he hasn't paid much attention to it.

But in order to study the badge before, she read a lot of regional biographies and miscellaneous conversations.

She knew that the important capitals of Weicheng and Liaocheng were all connected to Xiliang. Border trade is also thriving.

Xiliang is rich in jade and war horses. In addition to these, there are also their unique handmade jewelry, which are also popular in some wealthy homes.

The main hall of the Hou Mansion also has a carpet made in Xiliang.

"Is there a clue to the badge in Weicheng? Did Xu Ying find it? So how did he know? Could it be that during this time, he went to Weicheng? ”

"Yes."

Xia Qingtong understood, Xu Ying knew some of the secrets of the badge. But—

Thinking of Xu Ying, she suddenly remembered something.

After coming here, I don't know what's going on. Before crossing over, she remembered some of the knowledge she had learned in history, and she remembered very well what it should be, but after she came, it seemed to have deviated.

She remembered before that Xu Ying had fought with the Southern Barbarians.

But now that I think about it, it doesn't make sense. Because from the map, Nanban is also called Nanjiang, but it is a small place.

Because it has a natural barrier, it is good at using poison. So it's like a paradise. Others can't easily get in, but the people in them. It doesn't come out much.

How could such a place take the initiative to attack Dongzhao?

And he was able to make Dongzhao lose three cities.

What if she's misremembering? What if it's Xiliang who is fighting against Dongzhao?

Xia Qingtong fell into the memories of the historical knowledge she had learned. Dong Zhao and Xi Liang, have you fought in the back?

Fighting against Dongzhao, is it Nanban or Xiliang?

"What's wrong with you?"

Her expression was not quite right, and Ming Yue was worried that her soul leaving disease had committed again. For a moment, his expression became nervous.

"I'm thinking. Although this Xiliang is ostensibly a minister to the east. Even later years after the year of tribute. But are they really willing? ”

"I send my own domestic abundant jade and good horses to Dongzhao every year. Don't they really feel dissatisfied? ”

Xia Qingtong asked his own question, and turned to look at Ming Yue's face: "They have really been willing to be Dongzhao's vassal states." And then there is no disobedience? ”

Ming Yue was stunned. Shang Xia Qingtong's sharp eyes. Even though he knew that Xia Qingtong was smart, he still showed appreciative eyes for her sensitivity.

"yes. Who would be willing to submit to his own country and be subordinate to another country? ”

The words that were almost whispered clearly fell into her ears.

Xia Qingtong immediately understood: "So Xiliang must be unwilling." ”

Ming Yue didn't speak. His expression was solemn.

Xia Qingtong thought along this line of thought, and some things suddenly became very clear.

The one who fought against Dongzhao was not Nanban but Xiliang.

Xiliang didn't know what means he used to make Dongzhao lose on the battlefield. Then three cities were lost in a row.

But I don't know why Ming Yue let Xu Ying go?

And she didn't have much contact with Xu Ying, but she could see it. This man is a man of strategy and success.

How could such a person be so bold as to make such a big mistake?

I have a lot of questions in my heart, but for the time being, I can only watch first.

…………

This way to the west is cool, and the scenery is very different from going to Lucheng before.

The further west you go, the more beautiful the scenery becomes. But the road is also getting harder to walk.

This is not in the era of high-speed rail and airplanes. Coupled with her, it is impossible for Ming Yue and them to ride their horses too fast.

Xia Qingtong was still enthusiastic at the beginning, and he still had the heart to do a live broadcast.

Those pure natural landscapes, mountains and rivers without traces of artificial processing.

Not to mention that all the attractions she broadcast live are empty, only the scenery.

So even the most mundane attractions. It also makes those on the other end of the live broadcast scream.

[The scenery is really beautiful, too primitive. Loved, loved. 】

[Anchor, tell me honestly, did you deliberately empty everyone for filming? ] 】

[It's possible.] 】

[No matter what, anyway, no matter what kind of scenery it is, I love this scenery.] 】

Beautiful scenery, she interacts with Ming Yue from time to time. The tips and points on the other end of the live streaming platform are also growing.

Seeing that his points exceeded 30,000, Xia Qingtong felt that his goal was one step closer.

Of course, don't have any accidents that make her spend a lot of points.

But I'm afraid of something.

In order to hurry, I set off almost in the morning light, and only found a place to rest in the middle of the night.

Ming Yue has tried his best to let them rest at every stop where there is a post station or inn.

But the often bumpy mountain road made Xia Qingtong's body unbearable quickly.

She has been patient and cooperative, and she didn't even let Ming Yue see it at all a few days ago.

But on the seventh day, when passing through Shuzhou, she still couldn't hold on and fell ill.
