Chapter 508 0508 Birthday Covenant
After two months of separation, Zuo Xiao missed Mei'er all the time. Regarding how Mei'er recovered Xiqiang step by step, he also paid close attention to it at all times. Shen Hanyue and Mei Jue would collect all kinds of information for him and present it to him.
Therefore, he knew that Xiqiang was changed to a county system, he knew the time and list of the generals and counties to be stationed in Xiqiang, he also knew that Jiang Hua moved his family to Kudan and became the right prime minister of Beiyi, and he also knew that since the trade between the two ethnic groups was carried out, the people of Xiqiang and Beiyi were enthusiastic about work, and even a lively bazaar was naturally formed on the border of the two countries, and the people of the two nationalities were looking for new things here with strong curiosity and freshness.
And this lively and prosperous scene seems to have aroused the curiosity and fascination of the people of Dongxia to a certain extent.
Zuo Xiao knows all this. But what Zuo Xiao doesn't know is, who came up with these ideas? Was it Mei'er, Her Majesty's idea, or Luo Yi's idea, or the result of the courtiers' deliberations?
But no matter whose idea it was, Zuo Xiao understood that Beiyi would gradually become stronger and stronger under this series of decrees and become a neighbor that could not be underestimated in Eastern Xia. In this regard, he had to guard against it, because Mei'er once said that Empress Dowager Luo and Luo Yi also hit the idea of Dongxia, which was to unify the rhythm of the Three Kingdoms.
Two months later, when Zuo Xiao received an invitation to Mei'er's birthday in early March, he understood that they were about to take action.
Before leaving, he discussed with the Shen family brothers and the Mei family brothers again, asking them to cooperate to make Mei'er temporarily the lord of Eastern Xia. Only if Mei'er temporarily becomes the master of Dongxia, then Luo Yi will believe that Mei'er really bewitched Zuo Xiao, and will take Zuo Xiao to the place where Ma Teng is imprisoned.
But Shen Hanyue and the others didn't believe in this evil, and they didn't believe that after Mei'er was done, they would return Dongxia to Zuoxiao. Therefore, they did their best to dissuade Zuo Xiao from going to this troubled water, and at present, it was most important to protect Dongxia.
But Zuo Xiao insisted on going to the appointment and acted according to the original plan.
First, because Mei'er agreed that she was unwilling to break her word, and secondly, because her lips were dead and her teeth were cold, Ma Teng's living mouth is the most direct and powerful evidence of Beiyi's wolf's ambition.
Therefore, Zuo Xiao wanted to save Ma Teng, not only for Mei'er, but also for Dongxia.
Hearing Zuo Xiao say this, after the monarch and the ministers exchanged words, Shen Hanyue and the others had to agree, and they were told to be careful.
In addition, since Zuo Xiao speculated that Ma Teng's detention location was in Nanzhao Kingdom, Shen Hanyue arranged for a master of the original Nighthawk Village to arrive in Nanzhao Kingdom first, so as to secretly protect or receive Zuo Xiao.
Everything was ready, and Zuo Xiao took a team of attendants to Beiyi to make an appointment. He was going to go alone, but Shen Hanyue refused to let him live or die, thinking that the emperor of a country still wanted to be pompous on the surface. So the group took a cart of gifts that were enough to show the prosperity of Eastern Xia and went north to Kudan to visit the empress.
Before leaving, Zuo Xiao did not go to say goodbye to the queen and the concubine. Acting has to be done enough, and he always has to leave some uninformed people to "remember" him sincerely.
At this moment, riding a horse and whipping on the official road, all Zuo Xiao thought about was Mei'er. Mei'er's smile and gesture occupied his entire mind.
His horse galloped as fast as a cloud, leaving his attendants far behind without knowing it. His soul had already crossed a thousand mountains and flown to Mei'er.
It's finally here, it's here, it's Beiyi, and the exotic characteristics that are different from Dongxia make Zuo Xiao dizzy. His heartbeat accelerated inexplicably, and he secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too unproductive, and he was even more nervous than going to the battlefield to see Mei'er.
Arriving outside the Chengtian Gate of the Beiyi Palace, he suddenly found that it was really the same as the rumors, and the Beiyi Palace did cover a wide area, carved beams and paintings, and was splendid. Because it is built on the mountain, it is magnificent, and the golden dragon on the big red cylinder looks at it from afar, lifelike, as if it is churning in the clouds.
This magnificent building came into view, which gave Zuo Xiao an illusion. I was delusional that what the woman in red said in disguise was true. In the future, she will definitely be the heroine of the world.
