Qinzhou and Bingzhou were blocked by towering dragon veins, and there were originally two lines connecting them.

One is the canal that communicates with the canal city, the mountains on both sides of the river are steep, nine bends and eighteen bends, we must not only beware of river demons and water ghosts, but also be careful of the undercurrent and treacherous reefs, and there are countless deaths and injuries every year.

The second is to go north into Liangzhou, through the vast Gobi and grassland, if the knife is not hard, it is the prey of horse bandits.

Therefore, since Wang Xuan and Tu Su Ziming opened up the Qinzhou trade route, the two places can be regarded as having a relatively safe trade route.

From the west side down the Kanyuan Mountain Range, it is the boundary of Qinzhou, which is completely different from the scenery of Bingzhou.

The state is mountainous, but this side is relatively vast, and the cold wind from the northwest desert is howling, and even Lingqi seems to have a little more heroism.

Thundered...

As soon as Wang Xuan and the others left the mountain road, a team of thousands of gold-armored iron horsemen appeared on the plain, and the war horses were galloping and the snow was splashing.

Jin Ge Iron Horse Dance Wind and Snow, the momentum is extraordinary.

Cavalry?

Wang Xuan waved his hand to stop everyone and rode their horses to watch.

The royal family sent a prince to supervise various places, and naturally they had to be equipped with corresponding forces, and the royal forest and tiger ben were more elite, and most of the time they defended the gods, and the huge number of Xiao cavalry became the first choice.

This should have been sent by the King of Qinzhou to greet him.

Sure enough, after the arrival of the golden armor iron cavalry, the first bearded commander bowed his hand and said in a deep voice: "Li Mengchao, the commander of the Xia Xiao cavalry, came to greet the prince and the prince at the order of the prince. ”

Dugu Yun, the prince of Bingzhou, pretended to be his original appearance again, nodded with an old face, and said, "There is Captain Lao Li." ”

Wang Xuan also clenched his fists slightly and did not speak.

Although he is the master of this team, the nominal leader is still Dugu Yun, the son of the world.

Lieutenant Li Mengchao is obviously also a stereotypical person, and after receiving everyone, he didn't talk much nonsense, and escorted him to the official road and rode his horse.

But the king of Qinzhou obviously had other arrangements, and there was also a small eunuch of the internal guard who could speak well in the team.

"Your Royal Highness, the prince of my family often chatters, saying that the next generation of the royal family, you are most likely to break through the earth immortal..."

"Lord Wang, the prince has a lot of praise for you..."

To Wang Xuan's surprise, Duguyun, the prince of Bingzhou, said that although he was a young man, he didn't seem to be interested in sycophants, but took the opportunity to ask about the wedding.

"Who's here this time?"

"Hui Shizi, in addition to the Tu Su family and some local clan lineages in Qinzhou, there are also several princes in Yunnan, Juzhou, Yunzhou, and Tongzhou, and the Linghu family, the Bai family, the Liu family, the Chen family, and the Wei family have also sent people..."

Listening to the introduction of the little eunuch, Wang Xuan was thoughtful.

It seems that in addition to the royal family, many thousand-year-old families have also expressed their support for the crown prince.

Among them, Chen Huowu of the Chen family in Longzhou and Wei Wuji of the Wei family in Yunzhou respectively controlled the Bifang and Zhu Yan Legions in Northern Xinjiang.

The Linghu family of Dian Prefecture is good at Gu arts, and according to the information of the Mo family, they are planning to seize the position of marshal of the Jiuqu Tianhe Water Army.

And the Bai family also came, but it was unexpected by Wang Xuan.

It seems that the Bai family has fully switched to supporting the crown prince, and behind it is Huo Yu, the generalissimo of Shenwei.

Coupled with the Tu Su family, the four major armies in Northern Xinjiang chose to support the prince almost simultaneously.

There is also the Linghu family who is planning a water army.

This gathering is truly unusual...

……

Two days later, the team slowly stopped.

I saw that on the vast snowfield in front of me, a high mountain rises abruptly, dense buildings are built along the mountain, and the periphery is a towering city wall, and the momentum is majestic in the wind and snow.

"Is this Anqing City?"

Mo Qingrou's eyes were full of brilliance, "I heard that this is the ancient city of Great Chu, and it was the transit route to the Western Wilderness at that time, and it was really extraordinary. ”

The little eunuch hurriedly replied: "Mrs. Wang is right, the land in Qinzhou is barren, even if there is the protection of Sheji Shinto, there is a shortage of food, but fortunately, there are many specialties. ”

After that, he flattered: "The princess and Mrs. Mo are sisters, and before going out, they told them that the younger one must take care of the two." ”

"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness."

Wang Xuan's face was calm, but he had a guess in his heart.

The king of Qinzhou, I'm afraid that he is eyeing the grain produced by Taikang New Town...

Anqing city is also quite prosperous, in addition to the heavenly street along the mountain, the surrounding buildings are high and low, connected by large and small stone steps, and the wine flag plaque between the eaves and arches is dazzling.

Most of the passers-by are dressed in thick leather jackets, tall, weather-drenched, and full of temperament when they speak.

Wang Xuan was not surprised when he saw it.

Qinzhou was originally a place to raise good soldiers, if it weren't for this, it would not have achieved the iron-blooded prestige of the Tu Su family.

The palace is located on the top of the mountain, and the army passes along the heavenly street, and the pedestrians have avoided each other.

"There's another one, it's really lively."

"Of course, the prince is married, and I heard that he is still marrying the granddaughter of the head of Danqing Pavilion, so the pomp and circumstance will naturally be shown..."

Mo Qingrou was accustomed to this kind of crowded occasion, looking left and right on the horse, and was soon attracted by something.

I saw a clay pot placed in front of a Jianghu artist on the street, and the jar was full of yellow sand, which seemed to be ordinary but surrounded by a bunch of people.

This artist wears a hat, black cloth covers his face, and there are a lot of white runes pasted on it, which looks very mysterious.

He pinched the mantra and murmured.

Burst!

The sand in the clay pot roared up, gathering and scattering in the air, evolving into the Bright Moon Court, the long-sleeved man dance of the singer, and the beautiful singing voice of Yi Ya Ya echoed...

Seeing this, the little eunuch next to him hurriedly flattered: "Mrs. Wang, this thing is nothing unusual, it's just a sand mirage hidden in the jar." ”

"The sand mirage is not uncommon, Qinzhou Jianghu artists often catch it to perform illusions, I heard that there are also mirage monsters in the desert, which can evolve the scene of the ancient war, and desert travelers will occasionally see it."

Wang Xuan also nodded and said: "The terroir is different from place to place. ”

Knowing the illusion method, everyone naturally lost interest, and rode away gradually.

As soon as they left, the artist with the hat slowly raised his head and silently looked at their distant figures...

……

Qinzhou palace is located on the top of the mountain, the area is not small, two pines and cypresses are dense, the eaves and arches are scattered in the wind and snow, full of antiquity.

There are many people in front of the door to greet them, and the leader is a young man in a white brocade robe, who is majestic and restrained.

Wang Xuan knew that this was Dugu Yu, the son of Qinzhou.

"Brother Yun, you are here."

Dugu Yu looked very enthusiastic, first greeted the prince of Bingzhou for a while, and then bowed his hand to Wang Xuan: "This is Wang Duwei, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

"Don't dare, I've seen the son."

Wang Xuan also respectfully bowed his hand, feeling strange in his heart.

This Qinzhou seems to be too enthusiastic about him, is there any other plan?

After entering the palace, his subordinates were led elsewhere by the internal guards, and Wang Xuan and his wife went to the main hall with Duguyun to meet the king of Qinzhou.

The facial features of the King of Qinzhou and the King of Bingzhou are somewhat similar, but there is a little less domineering and more gentleness, while the princess is like Mrs. Mo, a middle-aged woman with a kind face.

After the three of them saw the salute, the king of Qinzhou stroked his beard and smiled: "I haven't seen you for a year, Yun'er has grown a lot taller, looking at the appearance, it's almost five qi dynasty, right?" ”

Uncle Wang laughed.

Duguyun was a little embarrassed, "When I encounter a bottleneck, I'm afraid it will take two years." ”

"Not bad."

The King of Qinzhou said with a relieved face: "Brother Wang must be very happy, but Brother Wang has lived in the army for a long time, so he is naturally more strict with you, and you can't be disobedient." ”

Dugu Yun hurriedly bowed his hand, "Thank you Uncle Wang for your teachings." ”

Then, the king of Qinzhou looked at Wang Xuan again, nodded and smiled: "The prince and brother Wang really have good vision, the soldiers are beautiful jade, and the state is Menghu, maybe they will still be the commander of one party in the future." ”

Wang Xuan arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "The prince has praised it." ”

The princess next to her smiled and said, "This is Rou'er, when the gods saw you, they were just learning to walk, but now they are married." ”

"I also often have correspondence with my senior sister, and when I arrived in Qinzhou, I didn't look for other places, so I lived in the palace, and now there are a lot of female scrolls in the house, and the palace will set up a banquet for you to introduce you to tomorrow."

After some politeness, the king of Qinzhou didn't say much, and ordered the internal guards to arrange accommodation for everyone.

Wang Xuan and the others were arranged in a small courtyard with two entrances, and Dugu Yun was dragged by Dugu Yu, the prince of Qinzhou, to meet the royal brothers.

After the internal guard left, the small courtyard quieted down, Mo Qingrou breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a wry smile: "Shendu Shi didn't like this kind of entertainment, I didn't think that my father would still be able to escape after resigning." ”

Wang Xuan smiled: "That princess has a good relationship with her mother-in-law? ”

Mo Qingrou shook her head and said: "I haven't heard of this, the Splendid Pavilion has a deep connection with the palace, and many female cultivators in the door are also married to people in the royal family. ”

"How can I have such a big face."

Wang Xuan smiled dumbly, and then said in a deep voice: "Rou'er doesn't like to socialize, so the princess will talk to them less at the banquet, and the relationship depends on how hard my fists are after all." ”

He immediately guessed the princess's intentions.

The female cultivators of the Splendid Pavilion are married to the royal family and various families, which is invisibly a huge net, and their interests are involved, and maybe many major events are caused by them.

But knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, his wife is smart, and most of them are on the cooking calligraphy and painting formation, so there is no need to intrigue with these people.

At this moment, Dugu Yu, the prince of the world, came to visit again, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, all the elites in the palace have gathered, and when I heard that you were coming, I insisted that I come to invite you, and I just set up a banquet to entertain..."

Here it comes!

The wedding of the prince of Qinzhou is scheduled for five days later, but it came early, one is the matter of Tu Su Ziming, and the other is the gathering of the forces under the prince's command.

Wang Xuan arched his hand and said, "Thank you, the prince." ”

After giving Mo Qingrou a reassuring look, Wang Xuan followed the prince Dugu Yu to a large hall on the right side of the palace.

The main hall was originally bustling.

After Wang Xuan strode in, he was immediately silent, and a pair of eyes converged.

"Ladies and gentlemen."

Dugu Yu smiled heartily, "Lord Wang has arrived, come here, serve wine and food, and today is scheduled for you to get drunk and rest." ”

"Shizi is polite."

"Thank you, Shizi."

The hall was lively again.

After Wang Xuan took the throne, he looked at it quietly.

There were a lot of people in the hall, about twenty or thirty people, half of them were children of the royal family, and Dugu Yun was also among them, looking at him.

And the rest, some dressed in fine clothes, some with erect waists and deep breath, most of them are young people.

Wang Xuan knew that this was the meeting of the children of the family organized by the prince, and then the king of Qinzhou must have another party, but it should be the old guys.

A few of them are the most eye-catching.

The person is tall, with a calm face, and a full beard, which is somewhat similar to Tu Su Ziming's facial features...

A young man with a blue complexion has a grim face, a string of gourds hanging from his waist, and a shawl with long black hair.

A fat man is tall, thicker than the ugly Buddha, with fiery red hair and eyebrows, full of anger when talking and laughing...

There is another person who is familiar, with fluttering white clothes, the same face as Bai Qin, his eyes are indifferent, staring at the teacup in his hand, it is the Bai family Bai Mo Yan he has seen...

Soon, the prince of Qinzhou raised his glass and stood up, smiling: "You are coming from all over the world, it is inevitable that you are a little rusty, so I will introduce it below." ”

"This is Tu Su Ziyuan, the son of the Tu Su family..."

"This is the Dian Zhou Ling Fox Cockle..."

"This is Chen Leishan in Longzhou..."

"This is Bai Moyan from Juzhou..."

"This is Yunzhou Wei Tianshu..."

With the introduction of the prince of Qinzhou one by one, everyone got up and hugged their fists and greeted each other.

Wang Xuan nodded slightly, he had heard of many of them, it seemed that although the prince was in the divine capital, his tentacles had already stretched out to all parts of Dayan.

"This one doesn't need to be introduced."

Dugu Yun, the son of the world, came to his side again, and smiled at everyone: "Lord Wang's battle on the grassland, even the impermanence of life and death of the Wei family suffered, and the reputation is afraid that it has spread to the divine capital..."

"That's nature."

A blue-robed boy with square facial features suddenly interjected: "Don't talk about Shendu, I have also heard about it in Northern Xinjiang, and the ancestor is even more appreciative..."

Although the words were polite, the tone was extremely cold.

Wang Xuan looked at it calmly.

This person Dugu Yu has been introduced just now, it is Yunzhou Wei Jiawei Tianshu, and his ancestor is Wei Wuji, the generalissimo of the Zhu Yan Legion.

Listening to his tone, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Wei Tianshu didn't care, and continued to say coldly: "I heard that Captain Wang has the skill of sprinkling beans into soldiers, such as people gossiping everywhere today, I don't know if I can learn it?" ”

Wang Xuan suddenly realized.

Wei Jiawei is unscrupulous, good at the art of soldiers, one person can block millions of soldiers, also called sprinkling beans into soldiers...
