The Imperial Palace of the Western Gorge Kingdom.

King Li was sitting precariously, squinting at the ministers below, unable to hide his excitement and pride.

"This marriage of Wang Mei has opened up a new road for my Xixia, and the sixteen kings also value her very much, and when the armies of our two countries open the pass, eat the imperial city, and capture Xie Xinglan and the emperor alive, the world will be under control!"

One of the civil servants walked out,

"Don't take it lightly, Your Majesty! We are only allies with foreign races, and when we really attack the emperor, we have to keep a hand! lest something happen to you; In addition, Xie Xinglan's army has been pulled out, I heard that he personally went to the battlefield, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, so he can't underestimate the enemy! ”

King Li snorted coldly,

"What Liu Aiqing said is reasonable, after all, the alien race is a barbarian, and he still has to keep a hand, but this Xie Xinglan is a cripple, is he going to the battlefield in a sedan chair? Hahahaha, it's not a shame. ”

The crowd was crowded, and the ministers couldn't help but laugh.

It is rumored that Xie Xinglan and his army drove together, sitting in a sedan chair, since ancient times, I have never heard of a general sitting in a sedan chair on the battlefield, I heard that he also took his wife to accompany him, this is to fight, this is to play.

After getting out of the court, Lord Liu walked on the stone steps depressedly, his brows were furrowed, and there was no smile on his face, the king can succeed, all rely on the support of His Royal Highness Xue Ji, if there is no capable Wang Mei, with his strategy, I am afraid that it is not bad to be able to keep the country, how could the first king give birth to such a stupid person, the vertical and horizontal skills of the Dongfang family, he did not learn at all.

A person walked quickly from the back, he looked back, it was Lord An, if there was anyone in the court who could understand his thoughts, it was none other than Lord An, the two looked at each other, Lord An shook his head and said,

"Brother, you are impulsive today, don't say that in the future, you will ruin the king's interest."

Loyal ministers admonish, are you still afraid of rebellious ears? You're afraid, but I'm not afraid! Lord Liu straightened down his official hat and looked ahead, although Lord An knew his thoughts well, he was a coward, expecting him to also advise the king together? Forget it.

"I've always been like this, it doesn't matter if I take off my head, the prosperity of the country is the most important thing."

Lord An patted him on the shoulder, the loyal minister was not wrong, but it was a pity that he assisted King Li and others,

"Come to my house to have some wine in the evening, the little girl's birthday is lively."

didn't give Lord Liu a chance to refute, Lord An walked forward by himself, his back was a little rickety, he hadn't reached the age of the sixtieth year, his hair was already half white, Lord Liu rubbed his eyes, a little distressed, and a little angry.

Thirty years ago, the two first met, An Daren was romantic, high-spirited, and made suggestions for the country, the two quarreled in front of the first king several times and broke up, so many years have passed, he has gradually been smoothed out, and what King Li said An always echoes, and no longer quarrels with himself.

Now that it's okay, the ministers in the court all think that he is kind and kind-hearted, and he is a gentle minister, and I, Liu Bingzhang, disobey the king and am disliked

Hehe! Lord Liu laughed to himself.

How many years have we not eaten and drunk together? Does he remember how high-spirited he looked?

"An Zixiang, you're old."

——————————————————

The mighty army walked in the snow, and at the forefront were Xie Xinglan's proud subordinates, General Zhao, General Hua, and General Wu, the three generals opened the way, and there were countless hot-blooded men who were loyal to the country in the rear.

In the middle of the procession there was a small sedan chair, pulled by three horses, fast and steady, and it was the general of Zhenguo and his concubine Yuan who sat inside.

Although the general is one-legged, he personally came to supervise the battle, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, and he was the god in their hearts!

The general's concubine Yuan, is the eldest daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, it is said that the lady, that is, the second daughter of the prime minister, because of her young age, did not come, this is irrelevant, this one in the car is not only the eldest daughter of the prime minister, but also the first lady of His Majesty! It shows how much attention Xiang Ye attaches to this war, why do we emphasize military force and light literature, and there is a lot of friction between civil and military officials, and it does not exist!

My dynasty is an iron plate, civil and military harmony, there are generals and Yuan Niangzi, the soldiers are full of confidence, God bless my dynasty, this war will be fought by foreign races and there is no return!

Seeing that it was dark, the large army camped in place and repaired, and General Zhao also took this opportunity to ask Xie Xinglan how to deploy, but who knew that he fell asleep in the carriage, according to the general.

Will rest at this time, just a little strange, a somewhat thick female voice came from the carriage,

"General Zhao, please go back, my husband will be asleep, after a bumpy day, don't make any noise with him, just bring dinner, and I will serve him to eat."

"Yes, Yuan Niangzi."

General Zhao shook his head, this Yuan lady, why is she so angry, it must be this ghost weather, the woman is weak, and she went out with the general, but it was really difficult for her.

After General Zhao left, Zhang Zhao in the car breathed a sigh of relief,

"Finally gone."

The "General Xie" on the side - Kong Xuan, stretched his legs, usually rode a horse, sat in a carriage for a day, it was more tiring than riding a horse for three days, seeing this scene, Zhang Zhao hurriedly helped him thrash.

Kong Xuan turned his head and put his face on the whole: wide nostrils, thin eyebrows and eyes, and thick lips, it was really ugly to dress up in women's clothes.

endured and didn't spit it out, Kong Xuan still decided to respect Xie Xinglan's choice, after all, Zhang Zhao was one of the most powerful government soldiers around him, and others pretended to be Yuan Si Marriage, not necessarily like it. _o_m

Zhang Zhao looked at his disgusted expression, and he also disliked him a little,

"Don't look at me, brother, I've made a big sacrifice and dressed up as a woman, what is your level."

The general sits in a carriage, but he never stretches his legs and straightens his waist or anything, and he is so hypocritical, he is a deputy general, and he is far from the grandeur of a general.

There was a sound of footsteps next to the carriage, and the two hurriedly resumed their alertness, and General Zhao personally delivered the meal, only to see a pair of hands stretched out from the sedan curtain, although they were wearing aqua blue brocade, it was a woman's clothes, but this hand was ......

It was large and black, with a large mole on the back of his hand and a hair growing on it...... If this is a woman's hand, General Zhao doesn't believe it! But sitting inside is Xie Xinglan, if there is a problem with the people around him, it will definitely shake the morale of the army!

General Zhao pressed the food box and got into the carriage with his legs!

The six eyes met, and General Zhao almost shouted! Fortunately, Kong Xuan quickly covered his big mouth.

He hurriedly whispered,

"You, you...... What about the generals? ”

Kong Xuan took out a piece of gold leaf from his cuff,

"Your Majesty's secret order, just treat the two of us as generals and Yuan Niangzi, General Zhao is his own person, but you must not let the fourth person know."

"Yes!"

General Zhao trembled and got out of the carriage, this amount of information is too much for him, the god in everyone's hearts turned out to be Kong Xuan and they pretended, once the stuffing is revealed, it will be the army's heart is disrupted!

From then on, another military order came: the general and his wife should not be disturbed unless there was anything important, and the idle people were not allowed to come within ten feet of the carriage! The errand of leading the troops forward was handed over to the two generals, Hua and Wu, and the general was personally guarded by General Zhao here.

The soldiers couldn't help but blush, thinking to themselves, it must be a good thing for the general who is not long-sighted, he and Yuan Niangzi are so affectionate, and the Xie family is just around the corner!

Kong Xuan pinched the gold leaf and remembered Xie Xinglan's order: On this long journey, you only have one task, pretend to be me, and bring Zhang Zhao, who is pretending to be Yuan Sijiao, to the pass, as long as you arrive at the pass barracks, you will win the battle.

He didn't quite understand this decision, and he didn't know where Xie Xinglan went, but just do what he said, this man who was like a brother and father and raised him since he was a child, he trusted him unconditionally.

At this time, the real Xie Xinglan and Yuan Si were walking on the snowy mountain road, the ground was a little slippery, the carriage creaked, swaying from side to side, Xie Xinglan rode a horse in front to lead the way, and behind was the government soldier Zhao Yu, holding a broom made of dead branches in one hand, destroying the rut marks.

Today the snow is clear, but it is still very cold, the snow cannot melt for a while, and there is no new snow to fill the rut marks, so it can only be artificially destroyed.

Quietly, halfway through, Xie Xinglan was still nervous, and a small inn appeared in front of him, he stopped his horse and ordered Sun Ziwei to investigate.

Several capable government soldiers are very witty, but in terms of wisdom and bravery, if it belongs to Sun Ziwei, he performed well when he encountered a tiger on the street before, and this time he traveled far away, and he was also one of Xie Xinglan's preferred people.

Sun Ziwei put on a hood and wrapped it tightly, and he couldn't tell his figure from a distance. After a while, he came back with a calm demeanor, holding a sprinkled gourd in his hand,

"Boss, the store said that it has been snowing heavily in the past few days, so I specially took out the aging wine and let us go in to drink some and go to the cold."

The wine gourd was handed to Xie Xing.

In Lan's hand, he fixed his eyes and saw that there was a feather mark on it!

"Come in."

The group got out of the carriage and came to this small shop, which was very simple, the big tree was cut in half, the bark was removed, and a few words were written on it: Hang the southeast branch, which is the signboard of the store.

Shen Yinyu didn't understand it very well, and when she looked at the talented woman Yuan Siyu, she also shook her head.

Xie Xinglan snorted coldly,

"Of course you don't understand, it's a code word."

Seeing Shen Yinyu's eyes eager for knowledge, he decided to popularize science:

"Nan is the name of the country dedicated to the country, and the word on the left hangs on the southeast branch, which means voluntary, and dedication, which also means voluntary."

I understand, that is to say, this shop is opened by people who dedicate the country, and love will not come.

Xiao Er walked with a steaming towel,

"How many are here? Inside, please! Our shopkeeper has been waiting for a long time. ”

Shen Yinyu looked at the dilapidated shop, there were cobwebs next to the cabinets, it felt like the old store had just been renovated, and it was bare along the way, and an inn appeared out of thin air, which was somewhat suspicious.

It can't be a black store, right?

Thinking of Sun Erniang in the Water Margin, she grabbed Yuan Si's arm, if there is anything that is not long-sighted, she must protect her first!

The innkeeper came out to greet him, he was an old man in his fifties, Shen Yinyu silently increased the strength of the marriage of Bang Yuan, how could the innkeeper be so old and work? And when he saw Xie Xinglan in his eyes, he wasn't afraid.

Something even more outrageous happened, a little boy walked behind the old man, fifteen or sixteen years old, with his hands behind his back, and the old man instantly gave way to him.

He just stood in the middle of the inn, looking directly into Xie Xinglan's eyes, and the two of them spoke at the same time,

"General Xie."

"Dedicated to His Royal Highness. @*~~”

Shen Yinyu's eyes widened, he knew that there was a problem with this inn, but he didn't expect such a big problem......

Our dignitaries meet with foreign heads of state!
