Wu State, Longsu City.

As the city at the junction of Wu and Xia, Longsu and Yong'an have experienced countless ups and downs.

A carriage slowly drove to the foot of Longsu City and stopped at a distance of about ten meters outside Longsu City.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Zhuge Hou stepped out of the carriage, looking quietly at the huge city in front of him with cloudy eyes. The guards at the city gate are solemn, but above the city tower, there will be a middle-aged man wearing green clothes and smiling.

The two met and smiled at each other.

On the city tower, Leng Changfeng said to Zhuge Hou:

"Master of the National Teacher, Leng Changfeng has been waiting in Longsu for a long time, and he also invited the National Teacher to enter the city."

Smiling slightly, Zhuge Houmai walked into the city.

In the main hall in the city, there was only one wine table in the hall, and Leng Changfeng and Zhuge Hou sat opposite each other.

The elderly Zhuge Hou took a sip of the wine glass, then shook his head and sighed: "Presumably this is the famous drunken immortal liquor in Wu Kingdom, it is really an endless aftertaste, and it is no wonder that the drunken immortal liquor can become one of the top ten famous wines in the world." ”

Leng Changfeng smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly and said: "My lord said that I am laughing, this world's wine ranking is just a false name for you and me, with the knowledge of adults, how can you really stick to a mere jar of wine?" ”

Zhuge Hou, who put down the wine glass, glanced at Leng Changfeng deeply, shook his head and said, "How many people in this world are burdened by this false name?" General, you may be able to let go of some attachments, but what about the world, how many people are fighting for this. ”

"For example, in the Huainan War, what the emperor wanted to fight for was not just a piece of land? What's more, it's just an ethereal name. ”

"But the general occupied the Sky Wolf Pass without making a sound, and that can be regarded as the real biggest winner."

Looking at Zhuge Hou, who meant something, Leng Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a dumb smile: "The national teacher's words are wrong, everyone in the world knows that Tianwolf Pass is the land of Xia Kingdom, I just need to withdraw my troops step by step, how can I occupy it?" ”

Zhuge Hou shook his head and smiled lightly: "General, you and I are both understanding people, in front of you, you don't have to hide it like this." You should know that I'm here for the matter of Sky Wolf Pass. It's just that I didn't expect that the general came to Longsu to wait, which really surprised me. ”

Leng Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head lightly and said, "Since the national teacher said so, then I will get straight to the point." This time, the national teacher is destined not to see my emperor. ”

"As for the matter of Heavenly Wolf Pass, I am just a general, and I can't be His Majesty's lord at all, so I ......"

Leng Changfeng said with a regretful face: "Please forgive me, sir." ”

Hearing this, Zhuge Hou smiled flatly and said, "This result is indeed not unexpected by the old man. However, please also understand that the matter of the Heavenly Wolf Pass is very important to the Xia Kingdom, and the Xia Kingdom will never give up easily because of this. ”

Leng Changfeng smiled lightly: "How many times the national teacher comes, I will wait in Longsu as many times." ”

Zhuge Hou's eyes froze, and he said lightly: "Wu Guo, aren't you worried about angering Xia Guo because of this?" ”

Leng Changfeng, who heard this, laughed and said: "Master Guoshi, you know the situation of the Xia Kingdom better than me, if it was the previous Xia Kingdom, the Wu Kingdom would indeed be a little more fearful, but the current Xia Kingdom, internal and external troubles, in addition to the imperial power is still complete, what is the difference between the previous Wei State?" ”

"To put it mildly, Xia Guo's bigger problem now is probably Yan Guo and Li Luo, right?"

Zhuge Hou was stunned and did not speak, for this, Zhuge Hou actually knew this. In the final analysis, how the matter of Heavenly Wolf Pass ends depends on the achievements of Xia Guo on the main battlefield.

Xia Guoqiang, then Wu Guorang.

Xia Guo is weak, then Wu Guo is strong.

The two countries intersect, and the weak country is not qualified to speak.

Nodding slightly, Zhuge Hou said lightly: "What the general said is extremely true, but please also remember one thing, although the Xia State is weak, the foundation is still there, and I dare to guarantee that no matter any force in this world, the restored Yan State, the rising Li Luo or the Wu State, no one wants to break the net with the Xia State at present, right?" ”

"The general insists on going his own way, isn't he really afraid of forcing my Xia Kingdom into a hurry?"

Leng Changfeng smiled slightly when he heard this: "The man is angry at the crown, it is indeed frightening, but the younger generation has thought about it a few times, I want to let that Xia Emperor be so young and vigorous, and he always doesn't want to do things that hurt both sides and others take advantage of the fisherman, right?" ”

Zhuge Hou sat quietly for a long time, then slowly got up, bowed lightly to Leng Changfeng, and said, "I will come to Wu again." ”

Looking at Zhuge Hou, who was about to leave, Leng Changfeng hurriedly admonished:

"National teacher, please slow down, although I can't be the master of the matter of Tianluo Pass, but Changfeng really admires Mr., so I also ask Mr. to stay in Longsu for a few days, Changfeng wants to take Mr. to see my Longsu style."

Zhuge Hou stopped his figure and turned his head to look at Leng Changfeng: "So, is this a request, general?" ”

Leng Changfeng nodded with a chuckle: "In front of Mr., it is naturally a request." ”

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Zhuge Hou nodded lightly and said, "In this way, the old man is better than obeying his fate." ”

……

Tubo in the Western Regions, this is the first city to enter after crossing the Great Desert of the Western Regions.

As the first city of trade between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, the prosperity of Tubo was somewhat unexpected by Xiao Chen, and almost all of them came and went with dense convoys and camels. People are busy, and the scene is in full swing.

On this day, Xiao Chen finally arrived in the Western Regions with Shi Cai.

In order not to attract the attention of the Tibetan side, Xiao Chen deliberately divided the 2,000-strong Qunying Pavilion guards into more than 20 waves and infiltrated the city as merchants.

And Xiao Chen and Shi Cai entered Tibet in the name of travelers.

People come and go in Tibet every day, and there are only 2,000 people, so they don't attract the slightest attention at all.

He had no intention of paying attention to the customs of Tubo, Xiao Chen's main focus was to inquire about Han Che's news. As a result, under many inquiries, Xiao Chen finally found some clues.

First of all, there was indeed a riot in the Loma Sect not long ago, it is said that the three elders of the Loma Sect infiltrated the Central Plains and killed several Central Plains women, in order to avoid the punishment of the Central Plains law, the three had to return to the Western Regions overnight.

Unexpectedly, even so, these three people were killed by a teenager in the Loma church, and after the killing, the teenager fled the scene as soon as possible.

A young man who was so bold and dared to challenge the majesty of the Loma Sect suddenly caused a huge storm in the Western Regions.

The impact of this incident even alarmed the royal court of the Western Regions, and under the anger of many parties, it is said that the royal court and the Loma sect sent a total of twenty supreme masters and 10,000 elite soldiers to search for the carpet, and only then did they find the young man hiding in a farmer's household.

But under such a net, the boy once again escaped from the encirclement.

Annoyed and angry, Wang Ting and the Loma Sect chased after each other, during which there were several small-scale collisions between the two sides, and according to the news that came back, although the young man was injured a lot, the masters of the Wang Court and the Loma Sect directly lost two.

You must know that the influence of the Loma Sect in the Western Regions is self-evident, and now suffering such a setback can be described as a great shame for the Loma Sect.

The leader of the Loma Sect even ordered that as long as the boy was caught, he could directly become the top VIP of the Loma Sect and get the reward of the Loma Sect.

In the news that followed, everyone had different opinions.

Some say that the boy was taken back shortly after and is awaiting a public trial by the Loma Order.

It is also said that the boy was helped by a mysterious strong man and is still absconding.

The most exaggerated version is that the boy was favored by the princess of the royal court, and the princess insisted on protecting the boy, and the Loma Sect was in a dilemma at the moment.

……

But it is undeniable that in each of these three statements, Han Che's situation is extremely dangerous.

And what made Xiao Chen even more dignified was that the relationship between the Loma Sect and the Western Regions Royal Court seemed to be closer than rumored.

Just imagine, the Loma Sect can only alarm the royal court if three elders die, which Jianghu sect in the world can do such an influence?

Moreover, after communicating with many local people in Tibet, Xiao Chen found that these people trusted the Loma Sect very much. Some are even close to trusting to the point of fanaticism.

Under all kinds of restrictions, Xiao Chen's idea of using force to protect Han Che was almost impossible to realize.

As for how to rescue Han Che, Xiao Chen must think long-term.

And the top priority at the moment is to find Han Che's whereabouts first.

took Shi Cai to an inn in Tubo to settle down, and in the room, Xiao Chen spread out a map found from Shi Cai's hand and said:

"Han Che's news is complicated, and he doesn't know which one is true and which one is false. Wanting to find Han Che is undoubtedly a fantasy. ”

Shi Cai said with a calm face: "I have just contacted the various persons in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, but these people know very little about the things in the rivers and lakes, and even some people don't know that such a thing happened in the Western Regions at all. ”

"Xiao Chen, what should we do now?"

Xiao Chen took the map and pondered it carefully, his fingers constantly rubbing on the map.

On the map, Xiao Chen marked Han Che's whereabouts that had been confirmed with lines. After checking a few times, Xiao Chen unexpectedly found that Han Che, this kid, did not leave the Loma Sect as soon as possible after killing people, but hid not far from the Loma Sect.

In the later pursuit process, Han Che did not flee directly towards the border, but continued to circle around the territory of the Western Regions.

In the end, the location where Han Che disappeared was only more than forty miles away from the Western Regions Royal Court, and only twenty miles away from the Loma Sect Main Church.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen's eyes sank, and he lightly pointed to the Western Regions Royal Court and the Loma Sect Patriarchal Church on the map and said, "I'm afraid this kid has thought of an escape route when he was being chased and killed." ”

"In my opinion, there are only these two places where he is most likely to be right now."

Looking at the place of Xiao Chen's finger, Shi Cai was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Didn't he throw himself into the net?" ”

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly thought of something, and shook his head lightly: "His previous master was Ouyang Xu, Ouyang Xu, who was born as a killer, must have taught him the truth that the most dangerous place is the safest place." ”

……

Some people died, but not completely......
