Chapter 143: A Trip to the Desert
Seeing that the man in black showed no signs of leaving, Murong Yao frowned and said, "Is there anything else?" ”
The man in black replied: "There is one more thing, my subordinates feel that they should still talk to their masters, that is, the emperor and the queen mother have recently sent people to inquire about the news of Princess Qin." But there is also a team of people, which seems to be quite vicious, and even the spies of His Majesty and the Queen Mother dare to move! ”
Hearing this, Murong Yao said in his heart that the Empress Dowager and the emperor's feelings for the fifth sister were only because of the song "National Style" on the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the other group of people was only afraid that it was King Qin's people!
Let's say that Zhao Ling took Murong Xun all the way to the north, and after a few days, it was used as a tour of the mountains and rivers during the day, but it was late autumn at this time, and the more he walked north, the more desolate the scenery became, and at night he met an inn. However, it has suffered a lot of people in the Qin Palace. Yingge kept a straight face every day, while Yan Yu pestered Zhao Hui every day to inquire about the situation, suffering Zhao Hui who was obviously worried about his life, and he had to desperately comfort Yan Yu, and he didn't show that nothing had happened.
Zhao Hui naturally believes that nothing will happen to his prince, but he has to pray every day, lord, come back quickly! The subordinates can't bear it anymore!
After a ten-day trip, it has gradually approached Sifang City, the central city of northern Subei.
The weather in the north is dry, and there are winds and sand from time to time, if it is windy, it is not unheard of when the yellow sand covers the sky and the sun, but Zhao Ling and his party are used to the vagaries of the weather because of their perennial battles, and Murong Xun has also been to Subei before, and she is not a delicate woman who grew up in a greenhouse, so there is no discomfort along the way.
The desert yellow sand, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun sets over the long river, compared with the smoke and willows of Chang'an, the world is rich, the northern desert is far away, the geese fly sideways, there are a few more lonely and barren, but it is more free and heavy.
Zhao Ling and his entourage dressed as leather merchants, and the carriage carrying a few wagons entered the Sifang City before sunset.
found an inn to settle in, Zhao Ling came to open the curtain of the car and helped Murong Xun get out of the car. The two entered the inn side by side, and Xiao Er, who was already sharp-eyed, greeted him with a smile. The Sifang City is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but it is a major city in the northern border, a necessary place for business travel, although this shop is in a remote place, but there are a lot of knowledgeable people, and they have already practiced a pair of fiery eyes, at this moment I saw a pair of beautiful people side by side, the man was wearing a white brocade robe, his face was handsome, and his demeanor was noble and graceful, and the woman was wearing a white gauze skirt, covered with a piece of tulle that shielded the wind and sand, immediately greeted him warmly, and said with a smile: "Is the guest officer a top or a hotel!" ”
Zhao Ling didn't answer, and a guard had already stepped forward to explain the matter to Xiao'er, and Zhao Ling took Murong Xun to a position in the hall by the window and sat down.
After a day's journey, Murong Xun was already tired, but she observed that Zhao Ling's spirit was very good, and she couldn't help but feel that her body was raised delicately, and she couldn't stand it even after such a day, it was not as good as this seriously injured patient.
Zhao Ling happily took off the veil on Murong Xun's head, and asked with concern, "Are you tired?" Why don't we go back to our room and eat! ”
Murong Xun smiled: "Since you are here, it is good to appreciate more customs and customs!" Old Marquis Chen has always had good customs, we have traveled all the way, I see that the people here are hospitable, generous and simple, but there are not many rules of Chang'an, if you can, but want to live here for a little more time! ”
Zhao Ling smiled: "If you like it here, what does it matter if we live here!" ”
Murong Xun only thought that Zhao Ling was laughing and didn't answer, how could she not understand in her heart, now, his mother has not been rescued, how can he rest assured? For herself, Zhao Zhi's child and the faint shadow trapped in the Zijin Palace are all worries that she can't rest assured, at this time, this is regarded as one more day when the two of them can do it!
The two of them said a few words about what they had seen and heard along the way, and they watched Xiao Er bring up the wine and food, and smiled and asked the two of them to use it slowly.
Zhao Ling smoked cloth dishes for Murong and said: "This hand-grabbed mutton is a famous dish in Sifang City, if you come to the Quartet, if you don't eat hand-grabbed mutton, it will be in vain!" ”
Murong Xun smiled and looked at Zhao Ling, who was busy with his own work, "How can you say that this is the first time I have come to Sifang City?" ”
Zhao Ling also smiled, "What, have you been here?" ”
Murong Xun said that he had come to the city of Sifang and saved Chen Yuzhi by mistake, and was accepted as a righteous daughter by the old marquis, the two got along in the past few days, there was nothing not to say, Murong Xun also told Zhao Ling in person that he was originally the Wind Shadow Building, but there is one thing that has always been a secret, and it is that she was Nan Chuyi in her previous life. Not to mention that this matter is quite contrary to common sense, but the relationship between the two was that of uncle and sister-in-law in their previous lives, and it took a long time for them to accept it, now, what should Zhao Ling think?
"In this way, you and the old marquis are quite familiar with each other, and this time it is much more convenient!" Zhao Ling said with a smile, "But don't worry, let's go to find the old marquis after playing in the Sifang City for a few days!" ”
As the two were talking, they heard that there were a few people talking at a table next to them, and the young man in blue said, "Isn't this world about to be in chaos!" Haven't you heard that Wei has begun to move, there is about to be a tough battle between Wei and Daxiang, if Daxiang wins, in the next few decades, Daxiang will have no worries on the border, but if it loses, the people of Daxiang will suffer! ”
Another slightly older man with a pinch of mustache retorted: "Wei State used troops against Da Xiang a few years ago, that is Wei State is the only one, Da Xiang and Yan State can only fight against Wei State, if that can make Wei State return, now, the relationship with Yan State is becoming more and more intimate, if Wei State and Da Xiang use troops, Yan State will definitely not sit idly by, this war is not sure who wins!" ”
The blue-clothed young man said: "The Wei State has coveted Daxiang for a long time, and it has also had a lot of dealings with the Yan State over the years, if the benefits of the Yan State are promised, the Yan State may not send troops to help!" ”
Hu Zi said: "Doesn't Yan Guo understand the truth of cold lips and teeth?" ”
The young man in blue said: "Hehe, Emperor Yan lingers on the sickbed, Prince Yan is mediocre and incompetent and addicted to wine, and Yan is not so peaceful in the country, I am afraid that when the time comes, I will take care of Daxiang?" After a pause, Lan Yi said with emotion: "And Da Xiang, in recent years, because of King Qin, the military strength has been greatly improved, but it's a pity that King Qin disappeared for some reason, it is said that Huangfu Junhua is about to go out to the army, and this Huangfu family is also a talent!" ”
Someone at the table said, "Then why are you so worried?" ”
The young man in blue said: "I'm not worried about the rush outside, but I can't help Daxiang's Zheng Zheng man for a while, I'm worried that Daxiang is in civil strife, some people take advantage of the country's difficulties to collect money, some people accumulate power, and even more I'm afraid that they will take advantage of this to cause trouble!" After a pause, he continued: "Whether it is the four major families or the Elder Pavilion of Daxiang, I restrict the implementation of His Majesty's imperial power because of too much power, and this person is not all for Daxiang and disobeys His Majesty's insistence, just for his own interests, how can the people of the country resist the enemy?" ”
Hu Zi said: "According to your meaning, do you want to abolish the Elder Pavilion that my Daxiang has lasted for hundreds of years, and pull out the four major families with deep roots in Daxiang?" He shook his head and sighed: "This must cause chaos in the world, and this is to shake the country!" ”
There is also a humane at the table: "Idiot, idiot, don't talk about state affairs again, beware of getting into trouble!" ”
A few people laughed and talked a few words, diverted the topic, and talked about Fengyue again, but the young man in blue had a look of regret and helplessness during the interview.
