Chapter 33: Someone Comes

After the dust settled on the matter of Devil City, Xiao Lingjiang and his party got up and returned to Liangzhou.

There were a large number of them this time, and if they were to go together, they would definitely attract attention, so they were still as when they came, still in groups of five or six, or eight or nine people, disguised as camel team vendors, and went through Shazhou City to Liangzhou one after another.

In addition, with Nie Yin helping from the side, their return trip was much more convenient.

When Xiao Lingjiang led the camel into Liangzhou City, it was almost the wax moon, and it was the coldest time of the year.

There was a heavy snowfall in Liangzhou, and the road and the roof of the house were all white, and people and camel caravans walked by, leaving a series of footprints and drifting away.

At this time, it had been more than three months since the ground movement in Liangzhou, and the imperial court received the news and immediately sent officials to come to help.

With the support of the imperial court, Liangzhou worked together to devote itself to the reconstruction after the disaster. The ruins and broken houses are gone, and neat houses are standing again on the northwestern land.

Although it is not as satisfactory as the people's own houses before, at least this winter day makes people escape the cold and sleep without worry.

Xiao Lingjiang and the others entered the city as camel merchants, and then entered the back door of the Thorn Mansion in the name of delivery.

Hearing that Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You had returned, Duan Xu, the assassin of Liangzhou, and Guo Xiaoxing, the governor of Liangzhou, were first overjoyed, and then hurriedly came to visit.

When they arrived at Xiao Lingjiang's courtyard, she was changing her clothes.

"Your Highness, Duan Tingshi and Guo Dudu are here, and the maid has invited the two of them to wait in the study."

"Hmm." Hearing Ah Man's announcement, Xiao Lingjiang snorted lightly.

She raised her hand and stretched out her arms, let Qiong Zhi put on a coat for her, tied a jade pendant and a bag around her waist, and then sat down at the table, and asked Qiong Zhi to recomb her hair in a simple bun, insert two hostas, and go out.

Qiong Zhi hurriedly caught up with her and put on a robe for her: "Your Highness, your body is not healed, it is better to dress warmer." ”

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Okay, then wear thicker." ”

After all, whether it is Princess Yong'an, who lives in the Assassin's Mansion to recuperate from her injuries, or she who rushed back from Shazhou, she is indeed in a state of unhealed injury, that is, she has practiced mystics since she was a child and is not afraid of the winter cold, and it is always good to pay more attention now.

When I got out of the room, I found that at some point, snowflakes were falling in the sky again.

Walking along the corridor and walking a short distance to the study, Xiao Lingjiang looked up and happened to see Pei You, who was also newly dressed in dark clothes, walking towards this place.

She stopped, and stood under the porch waiting for him to approach.

When she got closer, she looked at the snowflakes on Pei You's body and asked softly, "Why don't you hold an umbrella?" ”

Pei You brushed his shoulders, and there was a soft color in his eyes: "It's okay." ”

"It's cold, and your injuries haven't healed, so it's better to pay attention." Xiao Lingjiang took half a step forward and stood on tiptoe to brush the snowflakes above his head for him.

Qingzhu and Aman hurriedly looked sideways at the sky, sighing in their hearts, fortunately, the door of the study was closed, and the courtyard was now full of their own people.

Pei You's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and when she realized that she was brushing the snow for herself, she couldn't help but blush.

Seeing that Xiao Lingjiang had already retreated, he clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Go in." ”

Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, with a little concern in his eyes: "Cold?" ”

Pei You blushed and shook his head again and again: "It's okay." However, it is very cold in winter, so it is necessary to wear more. ”

When Xiao Lingjiang saw his appearance, she realized that her actions were probably misleading him, and she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.

The two entered the study together, Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing hurriedly got up: "Meet the princess, meet the prince!" ”

"You don't need to be polite." Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and sat down side by side with Pei You.

Seeing that the two of them walked with a calm pace and their faces were as usual, Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to these two people, they didn't have any accidents, and they all had to come back, otherwise, they would have given up these two old lives, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain!

Duan Xu smiled and asked in a harmonious voice, "Is the princess and the prince going smoothly on this trip?" ”

Xiao Lingjiang bowed slightly: "It's not going well." The Lord of the Divine Palace has been destroyed, except for the possibility that there are still scattered cultists who have not returned to the palace, and the rest of the people have all been ambushed. At this point, the old nest of the shrine has been destroyed, and the foundation has been overturned for many years, and it can't make any more waves. ”

"The old nest of the Divine Palace has also been destroyed?" Duan Xu's eyes widened in surprise.

At the beginning, Xiao Lingjiang and Pei You only said that they would secretly go to Shazhou for two or three months to investigate the old nest of the Divine Palace that the White Tiger Palace envoy said.

Unexpectedly, this time he walked down, not only found out the place where the old nest of the Divine Palace was located, but also directly destroyed it, and even the Venerable Lord of the Divine Palace was killed!

Guo Xiaoxing's face was full of smiles, and he couldn't help but praise with his fists: "The princess and the prince are really extraordinary in martial arts and unparalleled in strategy, Guo admires it!" ”

"Guo Dudu praised it." Xiao Lingjiang waved his hand, "That place in the Divine Palace is indeed difficult to deal with, and I and the prince have also suffered a lot this time." ”

When Guo Xu heard this, he hurriedly looked at the two: "What injuries did you two suffer?" ”

I heard that the people who practiced martial arts were sometimes seriously injured, and others couldn't see anything. These two can't be like that, huh......

Seeing that he was so concerned, Xiao Lingjiang smiled: "It's no big deal, and you two don't need to worry." ”

As she spoke, she asked Guo Xu again: "I heard that the DPRK sent someone to Liangzhou?" ”

Guo Xu nodded hurriedly: "Exactly." Although no people were killed, there were countless losses in houses, fields, and livestock. Thanks to the princess, you sent a message back to Yingdu early, and the court immediately arranged to borrow food money from nearby states and counties in order to give Liangzhou an emergency. ”

"The DPRK and China have also allocated relief money and grain, and sent the ministers of the DPRK and China to inspect the pension, calculate the time, and the envoy of the DPRK and China should also arrive in the near future."

Speaking of this, he frowned slightly, and said, "It's the governor's deputy envoy who has arrived in Liangzhou more than half a month ago. Hearing that the princess was injured, he also begged to see the princess many times and asked someone to block her back. Later, it was really bad to continue to stop and make people suspicious, so Qiongzhi Niangzi let him meet through the curtain, and he gave up. ”

At the beginning, this person was so noisy, but he and Guo Xiaoxing were shocked for several days, lest he see the clues, and even took Xifan with suspicion, and asked him where the princess was.

"Oh." Xiao Lingjiang responded lightly, "Is it Cui Shu, the eleventh lang of the Cui family?" ”

"Exactly." Guo Xu nodded.

The ancestor of the Cui family is the famous Qinghe Cui clan, and the clan is capable of producing many people, and his son Eleven Lang Cui Shu has a beautiful demeanor and a wise demeanor, and has the style of a famous man since he was a child. He is a little heard of in the land of Liangzhou.

With such a family, you can easily find a high position when you enter the court, which is human nature. I just don't know, how did you go to the remote place of Liangzhou without any difficulty? (End of chapter)
