The sound of fighting was still heard around, and between Shao Xi and the man, it was as if the air had frozen, and both of them stood motionless.

"...... you? ...... Liupin? ”

The three words that came out of that man's mouth were still intermittent, and you can imagine how horrified he was at this time.

I saw the Cui Yu sword hanging steadily in the air, and the blade of the sword was close to his throat, the cold air on the sword made him feel chills all over his body, at this time, as long as Shao Xi was willing, he could take his life at any time.

"You are not accurate enough, more precisely, it should be the peak of the six grades."

"Six grades ......, the pinnacle ......?"

"Can you speak coherently? Isn't it tiring to jump out of three or four words like this? ”

The man's Adam's apple moved up and down visibly, and he was probably so nervous that he swallowed his saliva.

"I lost! Bow down! ”

"And then? Do you want to keep fighting? ”

This person lowered his mask and glanced at the Emerald Feather Sword, he didn't even dare to shake his head, and stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.

"If you don't fight, you can do it."

Shao Xi smiled bitterly, why didn't he expect the other party to surrender so quickly, he was also a master of the fifth grade, and he gave up struggling so quickly?

It can be seen how much suppression the peak of the six grades has for him, so that he has no idea of resisting at all.

"Can you tell me who sent you?"

"I can't say it, if I do, it's better for you to kill me right now."

Shao Xi raised his eyebrows in a casual manner, and manipulated his vitality to take back the Emerald Feather Sword.

"Since you admit defeat, then take your people out of here, and don't force me to kill."

The man in black didn't say anything more, just turned around and disappeared into the crowd after a few leaps, and then there was a whistle in the distance ahead, and the group of assassins who were fighting fiercely with the guards all began to retreat backwards after hearing it, and after leaving the battle, they all turned around and ran in the direction beyond the gorge, obviously giving up the siege and killing operation.

Shao Xi stopped the guards who had planned to catch up and asked them to count the casualties, but only a few of the mission's guards were slightly injured, while the other party had many dead and some wounded.

Shao Xi ordered someone to carry them to the car, and after bandaging and treatment, he learned from them that the mastermind behind the operation was the general Fu Zuoliang, Shao Xi smiled after hearing this, and didn't say anything, just let the team continue to move forward and leave this valley.

"Humph! I didn't expect this Fu Zuoliang to be so bold and dare to send someone to assassinate the mission, and when I return to the capital, I will definitely report this matter to the Holy Lord, how can I let him act recklessly? ”

Zhang Shou was indignant at this time, and complained to himself. This attack on the mission, after returning to the capital, whether it was with the little emperor or with Xiangguo, he was not very easy to explain, but fortunately, the mission did not have much casualties, especially Shao Xi was safe and sound.

"Lord Zhang, why can these injured assassins who were captured alive be able to ask who is behind them? And the five-rank master who fought with me just now refused to say who sent him, don't you think it's a little strange? ”

"Lord Shao, there's nothing strange about it, most of these assassins are just recruited from the rivers and lakes, there are all kinds of people, some people are afraid of death, they will naturally betray their employers, and the person who takes the lead is obviously the person next to Fu Zuoliang, if he betrays his master, he will be more sad to live than dead, so he naturally refuses to say it."

Shao Xi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Well, maybe what you said has some truth, maybe I'm thinking too much about it." ”

Zhang Shou cautiously said to Shao Xi: "Lord Shao, the responsibility for the attack on the mission lies with me, and the purpose of Fu Zuoliang sending people to attack the mission is to sabotage the establishment of diplomatic relations between Jingyuan and Nanzhao, and I hope that Lord Shao will put the overall situation first, and don't let this attack affect the envoy of the adults." After returning to the Jingyuan Dynasty in the future, I hope that your Excellency will explain this matter to your pilgrimage, so as not to cause misunderstanding between the two countries. ”

Shao Xi suddenly smiled.

"Lord Zhang, don't think too much, even if you don't say it, I know that someone wants to sabotage this mission, so I naturally won't be so stingy, because this matter will affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries. On the contrary, the more people want to obstruct this matter, the more I want to get it done, and some people do not want to see the two countries get on good terms, but I want to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

After hearing Shao Xi say this, Zhang Shou finally let out a long breath, secretly glad that he finally didn't mess things up, but at the same time, he also appreciated Shao Xi's open-mindedness and wisdom.

If this was an ordinary envoy, he would have patted his ass and gone back in the face of such a large-scale attack, and he would have to arrange the Southern Zhao Kingdom in front of his own saint, and the result would naturally deepen the misunderstanding between the two countries.

And Shao Xi is different, he is reluctant, the more others don't want him to do it, the more he has to do it, in his own words, why should he let others decide what to do on his own?

However, this attack also reminded Shao Xi that the killer arrived first before he arrived in Yongchuan City, if he turned around and entered Yongchuan City, would there be killers everywhere around him?

He doesn't care about himself, no one can kill him anyway, but he can't leave such a large group of people in the mission alone, so it's hard to be a parent!

Because there was an attack, whether it was the escort of the mission or the escort of the reception group, they were extremely vigilant and always on guard, especially when they camped at night, they were even more guarded and sentry guarded, lest there be another accident.

But Shao Xi felt that the same thing would not happen again in the next journey, and there was no need to do it a second time if he missed the first hit, but any smart person would not do such a stupid thing.

So he was quite relaxed along the way, and the affairs of the guards were left to Zhang Shou to worry about.

Zhang Shou, who was in a hurry, became more anxious because of this matter, and kept urging the reception group to speed up in front every day, and marched quickly with the mission, just to arrive at Yongchuan City a day earlier.

Not to mention, after Zhang Shou's urging, the speed of the whole team was greatly improved, and it might have taken five or six days to walk, but it only took more than four days to arrive at Yongchuan City.

Looking at the direction of the capital from a distance, Zhang Shou finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to his trust and brought the mission safely, and he finally had an explanation with Zhao Hongjin and Han Zeng.

The envoys entered Yongchuan City in a mighty manner, attracting the people in the city to come and watch.

For so many years, the Jingyuan Empire has never sent an envoy to Nanzhao, and the people of Nanzhao feel a little strange, and want to see what the scale of the mission sent by the Jingyuan Empire, as a large country in the Central Plains, is? What is an envoy like?

In fact, the common people are just watching a lively, a large group of people in Wuyang, what can they see? Anyway, there are a lot of people coming, and the carriage looks very luxurious, which is enough to surprise them, and everything else is nonsense.

Although this Yongchuan City is the capital of Nanzhao, it seems that the scale of this capital is not much larger than that of Yujiang City, but there are more tall buildings, and it looks like there is some majesty of the capital, and the others really don't think there is anything unusual.

However, the architectural style here is quite interesting, there is no towering valley of the Central Plains, embroidered and carved, but it seems a little childish, but think about it can also understand, a small country with a lack of materials can make something magnificent?

Although the city is not big, the prosperity is not bad at all, the streets are full of people, craftsmen, merchants can be seen everywhere, all kinds of shops, restaurants, tea houses are just as many.

Although the population of Southern Zhao is not large, it is bustling and busy in this capital, and it is not at all noticeable.

Before the mission entered the city, Zhang Shou had already sent someone into the city to inform the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the reception, so before the mission entered the city, it encountered a team from the Ministry of Rites to greet him.

This time, Nanzhao attaches great importance to the envoy of Jing Yuanguo, and the holy lord Zhao Hongjin entrusted Xiangguo Han Zeng to personally supervise the reception of the Ministry of Rites, so the Ministry of Rites did not dare to slack off.

The person who greeted the head of the mission was none other than Feng Xianpei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also very excited at this time.

Since he took office as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it was the first time for him to welcome such a huge mission, and he was able to personally witness the establishment of diplomatic relations between Jingyuan and Southern Zhao in his lifetime, which was also a milestone on his way to becoming an official, so today he didn't even sit in a sedan chair, and walked all the way to greet the Jingyuan delegation with a guard of honor.

Shao Xi, as the envoy of the Jingyuan State Mission, naturally couldn't hide the etiquette of both sides, so he hurriedly dismounted and walked to the front of the team to greet Feng Xianpei. Although the two sides had never met, let alone met, they still greeted each other warmly. Although Shao Xi thinks this is very fake, after all, it is a diplomatic etiquette, and it always has to be done.

"Lord Shao has traveled thousands of miles, come from afar, and have worked hard along the way! The official has prepared a resting post for your mission, and I invite your mission to stay and rest for two days. When I am summoned to the Pilgrimage, the official will personally go to the pavilion to invite Lord Shao to the Hajj, and ask Lord Shao to wait patiently for two days. ”

Although Shao Xi is one grade lower than the other party in terms of official rank, Shao Xi is not an official of Nanzhao, and his identity at this time is the envoy of the Jingyuan Empire, and the Jingyuan Empire can be said to be a superior country to Nanzhao, so Shao Xi naturally does not have to be too humble.

"Lord Feng is so polite! This official has come to your court as an envoy on the order of my pilgrimage, first, to thank your court for sending envoys to visit our court, and second, to discuss with your pilgrim lord the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This time I came to cause trouble to Lord Feng, and I will inevitably have to bother a lot in the next few days, and this official is here to thank you in advance. ”

Feng Xianpei, as the chief official of the reception mission, naturally had to be thorough and polite, and when he saw Shao Xi say this, he hurriedly returned the salute.

"Lord Shao is a guest from afar, so you don't have to be polite to us, no matter what you need, just say hello to this official. This trip is a long way, can Lord Shao's journey be smooth? ”

When Shao Xi heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Didn't you count it in your own hearts if it went well?" ”

"Smooth, pretty smooth! It's delicious and fun along the way, and you can catch a few more assassins, not to mention how smooth it is! ”

"Uh——!"

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