Chapter XVI Commitments

In order to find the Gobi town mentioned by Grandpa, he has put a lot of thought into it over the years. Later, although he heard the rumors of the Devil City from Hu Shang, the Devil City was indeed mysterious, and many people he sent out were folded in it.

However, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and in the past two years, he found some signs from the people of Xifan, and found a stronghold of the people of Devil City in Shazhou City.

It's a pity that although the location of the Devil's City was also found, it was still difficult for their group of outsiders to enter it.

Now that he heard this person say that the Devil's City might be the place where the Divine Palace is located, he was stunned at first, and then understood.

No wonder the devil is hard for outsiders to enter......

Although he is not proficient in occult arts, he also knows that there are many evil ways in this divine palace that disturb the peace of the Great Zhou, and he uses magic to hide the small city, which seems to him to be like a fantasy, but in the hands of those capable people, it may not be impossible.

But...... His eyes narrowed slightly, it was the Divine Palace, and if he wanted to do this, he was afraid that it would take a huge amount of manpower, material resources, and mental strength.

This devil's city must be an ordinary shrine stronghold.

He looked at Xiao Lingjiang, his eyes were slightly deep: "I heard that in the territory of the Great Zhou, the forces of the Divine Palace have been uprooted one after another, but the Divine Palace Lord is still the head and tail of the Divine Dragon." This Devil's Town...... Is that where the Lord of the Divine Palace is located? ”

Xiao Ling Jiang bowed his head, stroked his palm, and praised: "Your Excellency's mind is really quick. If my news is correct, the old nest of the shrine must be here. ”

She looked at the other party's white-faced smile and said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, I came here to eradicate the Divine Palace. I think Your Excellency also seems to have the intention of getting rid of the devil's city, so why don't you and I work together? ”

The white-faced knight's heart moved slightly: "You are from the Great Zhou court?" ”

Xiao Lingjiang stood with his hands in his hands, nodded with a light smile: "Indeed." ”

Seeing her readily admitted, the white-faced knight couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

For so many years, the people have been looking forward to the Great Zhou Dynasty one day to wave troops to the west to recover Shazhou, and many remnants can return to their homeland.

However, more than ten years have passed, but Shazhou seems to be forgotten, and the remnants of the Great Zhou can only survive under the bullying and humiliation of the Xifan people......

Now, the Great Zhou court actually sent people to Shazhou?

He couldn't help but sneer: "If it weren't for the old nest of the Divine Palace here, I'm afraid the Great Zhou Imperial Court would have forgotten it, and there is still a Shazhou here, right?" ”

On the mask was Yingying's smile, but the mockery and sadness in his words had already overflowed.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Obviously it was the people of the Great Zhou, but once the city was lost, the land fell, countless compatriots were slaughtered, and those who survived could only survive under the Xifan Iron Horse. This kind of pain is naturally not something that can be experienced by those who have not experienced it.

At the beginning, the Great Zhou Dynasty lost Song and Sha Erzhou, which was the time when the current emperor ascended the throne not long ago, and there were internal and external troubles.

In the following ten years, although he worked hard, but there were Xifan and Beidi outside, and there were evil ways in the Shengong inside, although the Great Zhou was a big country in the Central Plains, it was still difficult to have spare strength to recover the two states of Songsha.

After all, once this is moved, it will be an official war against Western Tibet.

The emperor's throne is not easy to come by, and the peace in the Great Zhou is also rare, although it is the loss of Songsha Erzhou, but the entire Great Zhou at least seems to be the people living and working in peace and contentment, and he can also be praised by others.

If the war is rashly started, no one can predict what the consequences will be.

Naturally, he prefers to keep the status quo.

At the beginning of the marriage with Xifan, some courtiers proposed to take the opportunity to take back Songsha Erzhou, but Gongji was blocked by other profits, and the emperor had the intention to use the matter of peace to get rid of Xiao Lingjiang and the He family, so he pressed the matter and did not mention it.

Later, the crown prince was in charge of the throne, but the peace treaty had been signed, and mentioning the affairs of Songsha and the two states at this time not only failed to achieve the goal, but made the other party vigilant.

For more than ten years, the Great Zhou Dynasty has not been able to recover the lost territory, and the people of the two states are disappointed and sad about it, Xiao Lingjiang understands that it is her, and she is inevitably dissatisfied with the actions of the Great Zhou court.

The proposal to reclaim Songsha Erzhou through Heqin did not work, but after making an agreement with the Relatives Alliance, she had other ideas in her heart.

Xifan and her entourage are already imperative, and she originally wanted to take advantage of this to explore Xifan, but she may not be able to take the opportunity to promote the recovery of the two states.

"Songsha and the two states are the land of the Great Zhou, and the people are the remnants of the Great Zhou, can the Great Zhou be forgotten? The land has been lost, the people have been bullied, and how dare the Great Zhou forget it? Xiao Lingjiang looked at the white-faced knight and said solemnly, "One day, the Great Zhou will be able to recover the lost land and return thousands of remnants to their homeland." ”

"Huh." The white-faced knight sneered when he heard this, "What you said is good. Regain lost territory and return to your homeland...... Is it based on a few of you, or on the Great Zhou court, which has been silent for a long time? ”

"I heard that the Great Zhou and Xifan have made an alliance and sent Princess Yong'an to Xifan to make peace. That Princess Yongan said that she was assassinated, and now she is recuperating in Liangzhou. The two countries are friendly, but no one has ever thought about the situation of the people in Songsha and Songsha......"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little sad and indignant in his heart, and his eyes looked at Xiao Lingjiang, full of sarcasm: "The imperial court is indifferent to the people of Shazhou, you?" But the little pony is just a pawn, so why make this promise? ”

Xiao Lingjiang sighed softly.

She also figured out a little bit about this white-faced knight. This person is extraordinary, and he is dedicated to protecting the people of Shazhou, and he is naturally dissatisfied with the fact that the Great Zhou has not recovered the lost land for a long time, and then he is naturally dissatisfied with the move of making peace with Xifan.

The recovery of Shazhou is not a matter of days. If you talk about promises, I'm afraid no one dares to give them.

However, she Xiao Ling Jiang has never been such a cowardly person.

Since she is determined to blend into the court and take control of the power, then she is also ready to carry the burden of consciousness. The people of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still suffering at the hands of the Xifan people, how can she ignore them?

Xiao Lingjiang took out a token from his arms and said solemnly: "Promises are easy to promise, but it is difficult to fulfill promises." I'm talking about it now, and you don't believe it. In just one sentence, as long as I Xiao Lingjiang is in one day, the imperial court will definitely try its best to recover Songsha and restore the peace of the people in the two states. ”

Xiao Lingjiang?

The white-faced knight was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shook suddenly: "Princess Xiao Lingjiang of Yong'an? ”

Under the cold moonlight, I saw the word "Yong'an" engraved on the identity token.

He looked at the black thin merchant in front of him, and the face behind the mask was full of disbelief.

It is said that Princess Yong'an, who is recuperating in Liangzhou, how could she risk running to Shazhou under the rule of the Xifan people and become such an ugly appearance?

Although he couldn't see his face, the suspicion in his tone and the disgust in his eyes, Xiao Lingjiang could still feel it.

She touched her cheek and shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "Do you understand how to dress up?" If I had a face like Xiao Lingjiang, I wouldn't be able to reach the boundary of Shazhou, would I? ”

The white-faced knight still couldn't believe it, but if you want to say that Da Zhou dared to hold this token and pretend to be Princess Yong'an, I'm afraid there is none.

He was hesitating in his heart, but a figure suddenly appeared at the mouth of the alley, and he didn't know how long this person had been potentially nearby.

The white-faced knight's eyes lit up, and he immediately attacked the man.
