Chapter 146: The Old Man Visits

The sentinel reported that General Rizhao Guan led his troops to Lingzhen County.

Gu Du asked Feng Jiu to contact Bai Cong immediately and transfer the silver. After all, there are still too few of his people, and there is no need to save so much silver in the barracks, if the officers and soldiers really come to encircle and suppress, they still have to run if they can't fight, and it is impossible to fight to the death.

After receiving Tang Shuo's message, the Military Administration Department immediately reported it to the first Shangguan Mingfeng, because this matter was too strange. It is impossible for a few hundred people to disappear out of thin air, and the bandits do not dare to hijack the escorted convoy, if it is really done by the bandits, it must be a group of huge bandits, but if there are huge bandits, the local authorities should have reported it a long time ago.

In addition, if it is a defection, it is impossible to pull the entire convoy to defect, which is unreasonable.

Shangguan Mingfeng came to find Chu Qin, there is no precedent for such a strange thing, if it is not haunted, it must have something to do with Zeguo, and now that Zeguo has Gu Du and Lixia, many things cannot be reasoned with normal.

Chu Qin went to find the high priest Zhong Qi and asked for an order to visit Lingzhen County, Zhong Qi said: "Take Cha Xiu with you, he should also be promoted, but he was burdened by the defeat of Jufa Zheng, and this seat is not good to speak for him, if he can make contributions this time, it should be helpful." ”

Chu Qin responded: "Okay." ”

Zhong Qi said again: "Lingzhen County only has five hundred garrisons, if it is really as you said, it is done by Zeguo, then the strength of Lingzhen County is not enough, you can delay for a day, and wait for the emperor to transfer troops for you." ”

Chu Qin responded: "Thank you, High Priest." ”

Zeguo, at night, Lixia suddenly heard someone call her name: "Lixia...... Rexia ......"

Lixia sat up in shock, the dormitory was empty, there were no ghosts, and when she listened attentively, there was no sound.

Zedi woke up, sat up and hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lixia shook his head lightly, and Zedi said, "Lie down quickly, beware of catching a cold." ”

Lixia lay down, Zedi tucked the quilt for her, then hugged her, and looked at her.

Li Xia frowned slightly and asked, "Why does the emperor always look at me like this?" ”

Zedi replied: "If you are not sure, I am afraid that when you wake up one day, you will be gone." ”

Li Xia rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Are you suspicious of me? ”

Emperor Ze hurriedly defended: "How can I doubt you, it's just that you cherish it deeply, and you will suffer from gains and losses." ”

Li Xia smiled and said, "Okay, go to sleep, cover the quilt, don't catch a cold." ”

Zedi withdrew his arm into the quilt, reached out from under the quilt, held Lixia's hand, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Did you have a nightmare? ”

Resha replied, "In the fog, I heard my name called. ”

Zedi asked, "Who is it?" ”

Resha replied, "How do I know? ”

Emperor Ze leaned closer and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Guo is brave and wise, and it will be fine." ”

Lixia said: "It's not my brother, the voice is a little familiar, but I can't remember who it is, okay, maybe I had a dream, go to sleep." ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes, but he was no longer sleepy, Li Xia was already thinking about Gu Du, so when Emperor Ze said it, his heart was even more confused.

Since the wedding, it has been half a year, and Gu Duyin has no letters, and it is inconvenient for her to ask, so she can only hold it in her heart.

"Rexia...... Rexia ......"

Li Xia suddenly opened his eyes, startling Emperor Ze, Li Xia frowned and asked, "Why are you still looking at me?" ”

Zedi asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Rexia sat up and dressed, and replied, "It's just that someone called me, I have to go out and have a look." ”

Zedi also sat up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

Lixia said: "Don't go, I'm afraid that I'm not a person, I'm afraid of the majesty of the palace and don't dare to enter, you sleep, I'll go back when I go." ”

After speaking, he took off the treasure knife and walked out of the hall, and called, "Where are the guards?" ”

Several guards ran over in response, and Li Xia said, "Guarding the emperor, the palace has to go out to check." ”

Walking all the way outside the palace, Lixia mobilized his spiritual power and asked, "I am Lixia, who called me?" ”

"Lixia, I'm Dongfang Xuan, I'm outside the palace gate."

Li Xia was stunned, pulled his legs and ran, and the palace guards behind him hurriedly chased after him, shouting while chasing: "Niangniang, slow down!" Mother, slow down......"

When they arrived at the palace gate, the guards clasped their fists together and called: "Niangniang." ”

Rexia said: "Open the door, this palace is going out." ”

The captain on duty was stunned and said, "Niangniang, it's not even three watches." ”

Lixia reprimanded: "Open the door! ”

The lieutenant didn't dare to say any more, and hurriedly ordered the door to be opened.

The palace door opened, Li Xia saw Dongfang Xuan, burst into tears for a while, ran to look at him and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Dongfang Xuan bowed and said, "Foreign Minister Dongfang Xuan pays a visit to the Empress Xia. ”

Lixia said: "Don't be polite, Brother Dongfang, you ......"

Li Xia was a little choked, Dongfang Xuan said: "The Empress Xia doesn't have to feel sorry for the foreign minister, the foreign minister is here to discuss with the Empress Xia, I don't know if the Empress Xia can bring the foreign minister into the palace?" ”

Rexia replied, "Wait a minute, I'll go get the Soul Box." ”

Dongfang Xuan said: "No need, the treasure knife in the hand of the Empress Xia can also be attached. ”

Lixia returned to the dormitory, and Zedi sat on the edge of the bed, neatly dressed.

Rexia asked, "Why are you up?" ”

Zedi replied: "I don't know what's going on, I'm worried about you." ”

Li Xia pursed his lips and sighed, and said: "Dongfang Xuan, who saved me at the beginning, came, I brought him in, he was attached to my treasure knife, I asked him to appear, don't be afraid." ”

"Hmm." Zedi nodded in agreement.

Lixia said: "Brother Dongfang, show up." ”

Dongfang Xuan appeared and saluted Emperor Ze: "Foreign Minister Dongfang Xuan, meet Emperor Ze." ”

Emperor Ze said: "Sir, please get up, Mr. sacrificed his life to save the summer, I have no thanks, wait for Zeguo to settle down for a while, I will order someone to build an immortal shrine for Mr." ”

Dongfang Xuan responded: "Thank you Emperor Ze, but the foreign minister is the minister of the Spirit Kingdom, and please ask Emperor Ze Mo to show favor to the foreign minister." ”

Li Xia said: "Your Majesty, Dongfang Xuan's rescue of concubines is out of morality, if the emperor builds an ancestral hall for him, I am afraid that it will damage Dongfang Xuan's reputation." ”

Zedi said: "What the queen said is very true, I lost my words, don't blame me, sir." ”

Li Xia said: "The emperor will go to bed, and the concubine will lead Dongfang Xuan to the side hall to talk." ”

Zedi looked at Lixia with reluctant eyes, Lixia glared, Zedi could only respond: "Go." ”

When he sat down in the side hall, Li Xia asked, "Brother Dongfang came to me specifically for me?" ”

Dongfang Xuan replied: "Entrusted by the Soul Lord, I have something important to inform Empress Xia and Master Gu. ”

Lixia's nose was sour, and he asked, "Soul Master, ...... Are you okay? ”

Dongfang Xuan replied: "I passed away three days ago. ”

Lixia's eyes froze, then she burst into tears, and raised her hand to cover her face.

Dongfang Xuan said: "After the summer festival, now that you are the queen of Zeguo, the soul master knows underground, and he is also grateful." ”

Li Xia was choked up, Dongfang Xuan waited for her for a while, and asked softly, "But Gu Du has lost you?" ”

Li Xia hurriedly wiped her tears and replied softly: "No, my brother treats me as before, this matter is a long story......
