After learning that Yuan Lai and the two were also going to the direction of Wozhou Mountain, Sanzang accepted the deal very happily. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

I bought a small carriage from the inn, and after the three of them were full, they didn't delay and whipped the car to drive along the official road in the direction of Bacheng.

The small horse-drawn cart was ringing all the way, and Sanzang, who was full of food, was in a very happy mood, and even the little girl of the Xie family, who had not spoken much since she came back, also smiled.

"Yu Linwei's team is also along this road, but they are riding horses and we are riding cars, and the speed will definitely be increased, although our purpose is not to catch up with them, but it is still necessary to go to Bacheng once, at least we must find a chance to meet General Xu, and he will be worried. Yuan Lai sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the car window, looked at the fields on both sides of the official road and the staggered traffic from time to time, and said lightly.

Xie Caiwei understood what he meant, he was not afraid that Xu Jingtang would be worried, but that the news would reach the capital and make Xie Lingyun worried.

"Besides......" Yuan Lai turned his head to look at her, stretched out his finger and pointed at his body, and sighed: "This problem also has to be solved by someone." ”

He was talking about the meridian problem, and the man with a strange accent blocked the meridians of the two of them, which has always made the two of them feel unsure, and it is better to find someone to untie it as soon as possible.

"However, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble when we get to the city. Xie Caiwei said seriously.

She sat quietly in the other corner of the carriage, wearing a plain robe, her slender snow-white wrists peeking out from the sleeves of the robe, and then her hand on her lap, and a book in her hand.

"You're worried about those people?"

Xie Caiwei nodded, and said slowly: "If those people are really from the northwest, from the account of that Long Xiang general, then there must be some secrets that we can't get in touch with, Uncle Xu rushed to the overlord with five hundred cavalry feather guards, and was repeatedly intercepted along the way, there must be something wrong with this, I am worried that there may be a battle after they arrive in the overcity, those things ...... I'm afraid it will involve the government, and if we don't notice it for a while, it won't be a good thing. ”

Her worries were very reasonable, and Yuan Lai nodded in agreement: "Then be careful." ”

"But who is General Long Xiang you've been talking about?"

Xie Caiwei bit her lip, her fingers rolled up the corner of the page, she raised her eyes to look at the scene outside the carriage, and then sighed: " Among the generals of the military department of the Great Apocalypse, those who have great military merits will be given the title by the emperor, and the title of General Long Xiang is naturally one of them, General Long Xiang has been guarding the border in the past 20 years, and there are many small countries outside the territory of Daqi, and those forces have never stopped provoking Daqi in the past few hundred years, and there have been some relatively large wars, but these wars were suppressed by him with tough and iron-blooded means after General Long Xiang became a frontier general twenty years ago, so that there was peace in the empire over the years. ”

"Sounds like a great character. Yuan Lai exclaimed.

"In fact, it is not the general who is really powerful, but his wife. Xie Caiwei said so when she heard this.

"What do you mean?"

"General Shentu Wojia is said to be a very strong figure in cultivation, and there are three ratings for generals in the Great Qi Army: ten people beheaded, one hundred people slashed, and one thousand people slashed, and the military generals with the rank of one hundred people are already considered very powerful, and that Shentu General is one of the very few people in Daqi who has won the title of Thousand People Slash, according to legend, his cultivation has stepped into the fourth realm grandmaster realm a long time ago, which is also extremely powerful in the entire cultivation world. However, the battle array is not as good as leading the army in the army after all, the general's wife is really smart and powerful, in the northwest border army in the past ten years, Shentu Wojia has a great reputation for its bravery and prestige, and under the layout of his wife, he has slowly become a faintly divided party from an ordinary general, and his subordinates command tens of thousands, faintly in the northwest has the momentum of self-reliance. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Lai's expression became more serious, he leaned against the thick wooden wall of the carriage and began to listen attentively, while gradually describing the layout of Daqi's forces in his heart.

"I have to say that the lady is really very smart, His Majesty the Emperor is also an extremely powerful figure, it can be said that if it is at the moment, who in the empire wants to gather enough to make the court uneasy, it is almost impossible, the first emperor is also the British lord, it is impossible to let the forces like the Northwest Army exist, but that lady just seized the excellent opportunity of the inheritance of the throne twenty years ago, at that time, His Majesty the Emperor had to focus on seizing the throne, the situation of Qiguo is unknown, everyone is projecting their eyes on the inheritance of the throne in the capital, and it was during that periodTheir power is getting bigger and bigger, and when the dust settles over the battle for the throne in Beijing, His Majesty ascends the throne and looks at the entire empire, but he is shocked to find that a giant beast has appeared in the northwest that makes the imperial court have to be frightened. ”

The more Xie Caiwei spoke, the brighter her eyes became, as if she admired Shentu Wojia's wife very much, and only after she finished briefly recounting this history did she conclude: "Therefore, in today's empire, the Northwest Frontier Army under Shentu Wojia is actually a force outside the control of the imperial court, and three points of the credit for this belong to him, and seven points belong to his wife." ”

Yuan Lai didn't speak, his face already showed an interested look, and that look appeared on his young face looked very inconsistent, too calm.

If the average person of this age hears this kind of thing, I am afraid that a little worship or enthusiasm will inevitably be born in the mind, this is the hero worship complex of the strong in the nature of young people, even the heirs of scholarly families such as Xie Caiwei, and well-read girls are inevitably this kind of emotion, and her bright eyes at the moment are proof.

Yuan Lai, on the other hand, did not have this kind of emotion, but thought of more ......

"So, in the Empire, the emperor and that general must be the monarch on the surface and the opponent in the secret?"

Yuan Lai asked, although the tone was more like a statement.

"Yes, so I guess this matter may be a game between the imperial court and the northwest border army, and that is not an area that we can touch. Xie Caiwei took a deep breath and said.

Yuan Lai nodded, and was about to say something when he suddenly noticed that the carriage shook suddenly!

Outside the carriage came the exclamation of the horses and the exclamation of the little monk of Sanzang!

The boy and girl looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and before they could react, the carriage stopped.

From walking to momentary stagnation.

What stopped the carriage was the reins in Sanzang's hand and the red mahogany stick in his hand that was stuck in the soil to act as a brake.

"What's going on?!" Yuan Lai asked.

There was a slight pause outside the carriage, and then the curtain was lifted, revealing Sanzang's shiny bald head.

Sanzang said with a strange face: "I...... Looks like I've hit someone......"
