He remembered some childhood memories she told him, she said that she had some impressions of the capital, especially that there was a seventh brother in the royal family, she went to the palace to play when she was a child, and the seventh brother led her, she also said that the seventh brother and Shen Yi were very good friends, when she left the capital, the seventh brother went out of the city to send their family, did not step forward, just stood in the distance, and waved at her.

That seventh brother, who later learned that it was Zhao Zheng, the seventh prince of Southern Xia, was probably the only person Shen Yuexi mentioned except for the Shen family, so when Shen Yuexi was desperate, it was very likely that he would risk returning to the capital to join Zhao Zheng.

Looking at the winding road from the frontier on the sand table to Nanxia, Hu's clumsy heart was pinched, how many difficulties and obstacles he would encounter along the way, he didn't dare to think, now it has been nearly two months since the Shen family was wiped out, if Shen Yuexi went to Nanxia, it should be almost there, at that moment Hulu hoped that Shen Yuexi really returned to Nanxia and defected to Zhao Zheng, at least, she would be safe in that way.

In the end, Hu Zhuo asked the four Jingwei to chase in the direction of Nanxia, and the other six Jingwei went to investigate in three different directions.

"I'll wait here, and as soon as there is news, I'll let the letter eagle come back immediately." Hu Zhuo finally said.

The ten Jingwei nodded and went separately to prepare.

Sitting clumsily in the big tent, still staring at the huge sand table for a long time, imagining all kinds of possibilities.

When he returned to the General's Mansion at night, he also stared at Shen Yuexi's old things in a daze for a long time, the world was so empty and lonely, and after losing Shen Yuexi, he completely realized it.

In the next few days, Hu Clumsy was very busy, busy dealing with military affairs, busy investigating the case of the Shen family's extermination, and received a summoning decree from the king of Beihu, so he ordered ten elite guards to go to Yuanjing with him.

Yuanjing is the capital of Beihu, because of the continuous expansion in recent years, and learn the advanced places of neighboring countries, so Yuanjing is now a quite prosperous capital, and the appearance of nomads in the past has almost faded.

This is an important place for trade exchanges between the Beihu people, and the king of Beihu is willing to open the country and attract many businessmen to come to trade, so as soon as he enters the capital, it is a lively scene from all over the world.

Riding on a horse, he looked at the crowd in the market all the way, he wondered if he would suddenly see Shen Yuexi in this crowd?

Naturally, it was disappointing.

When he arrived in the palace, his face was full of pain, and if Shen Yuexi couldn't find it for a day, he couldn't show a happy look for a day.

When King Beihu saw Ku Clumsy, he stepped down from the throne and stretched out his arms to hug Hu Clumsy vigorously.

"You have made great achievements for Beihu again, saying, what do you want? Wealth, women, titles, you name it. As he spoke, King Beihu hugged him again and patted him on the back a few times.

"Minister, I just want you to keep your promise and abolish the rule that your ancestors cannot marry between different races." Suddenly said in a deep voice.

Hearing this request, King Beihu was silent for a while, and then looked at Hu, "You should know about the Shen family?" ”

"Yes."

"That Miss Shen family has passed away, I know that you have a lot of affection for her and it is difficult to accept it for a while, but people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to plan more for yourself, wealth, fame, beauty, which one is not more real than an empty Miss Shen family." King Beihu persuaded.

"Wealth, fame, and beauty are nothing more than a minister, but they are pleasant, and they are the other half of the minister's life." Suddenly, he said calmly.

King Beihu gasped, he didn't expect that Hu Zhuo would use the other half of his life to describe Shen Yuexi, since ancient times, women are just accessories of men, just embellishments, if you really like it, you can spoil it more, how can it be such an important position in life.

"But Miss Shen can't be resurrected after death......"

"She's alive." The clumsy voice stood firm. He needed that firmness to convince himself.

"Did you see her?" King Beihu was a little surprised, "Why did this king receive the news that the Shen family had all been wiped out?" ”

"The minister will see her eventually."

King Beihu took another deep breath, he just thought that Shen Yue was crazy, and said: "Today's dinner, this king will drink with you, and don't mention the sad things in the past." ”

"Great King, do you know who destroyed the Shen family?" Clumsy asked.

Hu was determined to find out about this matter, and the king of Beihu had no choice but to take a step back, "The news that this king received is that the emperor of Southern Xia was afraid of Shen Qingshan's growing power in the frontier, and sent killers to destroy the Shen family. ”

This conclusion is also a speculation that Hu Clumsy once had, Shen Qingshan, as the former secretary of the Southern Xia household, has an understanding of many matters in Southern Xia, and after he worked for the Northern Hu people, he will naturally make the Southern Xia court jealous, but he didn't expect that Zhao Guang would send people to kill Shen Qingshan, and he never let go of his family.

If this is the case, then he swore clumsily that as long as he still has a breath in this life, he will set foot in Southern Xia, kill Zhao Guang, and avenge the Shen family.

Then, he thought again, if it was really Zhao Guang of Southern Xia, then Shen Yuexi defected to Zhao Zheng, didn't he throw himself into the net and put himself in danger?

Thinking of this, he was a little clumsy.

"Great King, do you have any plans to attack Southern Xia?" Hu asked immediately.

The king of Beihu was stunned, the Southern Xia was rich in products, the land was vast and the climate was suitable, he naturally thought about annexing the Southern Xia, so that the people of Beihu would no longer have to suffer from the cold and nomadism.

"But now, Northern Hu has just quelled the civil strife, and the military and material resources are in the stage of recovery, and the attack on Southern Xia will need to be delayed for a few more years." King Beihu said.

What the king of Beihu said is reasonable, the civil strife has just been calmed down, if there is another war at this time, it is difficult to ensure that those tribes in the country do not take the opportunity to join forces to fight again, and at that time, Beihu will be in danger.

"I will definitely set foot in Southern Xia in my lifetime."

When King Beihu heard this, he stretched out his hand and patted his clumsy arm, with a look of appreciation, "Okay, with your words, it is to reassure this king, tonight, this king will set up a celebration banquet for you, and you will not return if you are not drunk." ”

That night, King Beihu held a banquet in the palace, and many court ministers and members of the royal family were present, and the banquet hall was full of singing and dancing.

The Beihu people are heroic, although they built the capital and lived in the house, the diet is still the nomadic style such as roasting whole sheep, especially the wine, one altar after another, and they drank happily, and the kings and grandchildren also danced together.

I haven't drunk openly for a long time, and this night, through my thoughts about Shen Yuexi, I drank until I was sad.

At night, Hu Zhuo was arranged to live in the palace, the king of Beihu specially arranged a few dancing girls to accompany Hu Zhuo, Hu Zhuo drank drunk, slept well, but woke up thirsty in the second half of the night, a dancing girl poured water for him, Hu Zhuo poured water on the bed after drinking, smelled the aroma beside him, and then squinted at the woman on the bed.

In the dark night, the woman approached the clumsy softly, and wrapped around the clumsy without saying anything, and between the half-dreaming and half-awake, the clumsy hugged the person next to the pillow, "Yuexi, you are back." ”

Although the dancing girl didn't know who Yuexi was, the king of Beihu arranged for her to serve the clumsy, so she had to do her best, so she was even more tender like water.

A night of wind and rain, a few joys. The anxiety and fatigue of many days were evacuated, and I slept more soundly.

When I woke up in the morning, I found that there were two disheveled women on the bed, and when I remembered last night, I closed my eyes and sighed secretly, and then said to the two of them.

The two dancers put on their clothes and left, and suddenly fell back on the bed, extremely disappointed in themselves, Yuexi didn't know whether he was alive or dead at this time, but he didn't forget to be merry and happy.

Stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, then got up and practiced as usual.

As for the two dancing girls last night, he left them behind and didn't think about it anymore. After all, the two women were just objects for his amusement.

When the king of Beihu went down to the early dynasty, he went to ask for a meeting, and the first thing he wanted to say was to ask the king of Beihu to take back the matter of the marriage of the day.

King Beihu sighed, "This king is also out of kindness, thinking that Naren's family background is good, and her appearance is also top-notch in Beihu, and it is not humiliating to marry her to you, but I didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, you want to withdraw from the marriage here, how do you want this king to take the bus with the protector?" ”

"If the king feels embarrassed, the minister can go and tell the protector himself." Clumsy didn't think it was a problem at all.

"Forget it, it's better for this king to deal with it, you go and say, you and the protector are both grumpy, and then fight." King Beihu hurriedly waved his hand.

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Suddenly bent over and bowed, and then said: "The two dancing girls in the courtier's room last night, the minister can't allow them to get pregnant." ”

When King Beihu heard this, he understood, "This king will help you cook." ”

"The celebration banquet has passed, if there is nothing else, the minister will leave." Suddenly, he said again.

"Youzhou City so soon?"

"Go home and see my father."

King Beihu nodded, "This king sent someone to prepare some treasures to go back to the house with you, and greet the second elder for this king." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

He bid farewell to the king of Beihu, left the palace, and returned to his parents' house.

Hu's parents had already learned the news of Huchuang's return to Yuanjing, and they looked forward to it early in the morning, and when they finally saw their son, they naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, and instructed the house slaves to prepare enough wine and meat, and the lunch should be sumptuous and grand.

"This time, when you return triumphantly, you will get married as soon as possible, and I will no longer have anything to worry about your grandma." At lunchtime, the clumsy father said so earnestly.

There are three brothers and sisters, one sister above, and one sister below, all of whom are married. is only clumsy, and it is also the one that parents worry about the most.

The parents are worried not that they can't find a woman, but that they like a woman of a different race, and the city is full of storms, which they can't agree to anyway.

Now it's okay, King Beihu pointed out the marriage for the clumsiness, the other party is the granddaughter of the protector, the family is illustrious, the whole family of the alien woman was wiped out, and they can finally put their minds at ease.

For the ardent expectations of his parents, he did not speak and ate in silence.
