The boat docked, and Xue Qingqing rode a fast horse back to the Medicine King Valley.

Luo Xing took a boat and continued to return to Luojing in a leisurely manner, this time saying that he was returning to Beijing to report on his work, but in fact, he was afraid that there was something else.

He received news that an epidemic had broken out in Xirong, and the source of the epidemic was not yet known.

Not only did a large number of livestock die, but there was not enough food, and if Da Zhou didn't help, then Xirong would have to follow the traditional old road.

Hit the grass valley.

If you don't have anything to eat, then you have to rob it.

This move, if it had been placed a month ago, Da Zhou might have been cowardly, but now, Da Zhou has pacified the southeast, and the military expenditure required has not been much.

Moreover, Nan Chu also took the initiative to sue for peace, and even extorted a large amount of compensation, Da Zhou is really not afraid of Xirong now.

Emperor Yongxi really wants to fight with Xirong now, and then redivide the interests of Shangdao, but this signed agreement, Da Zhou can't go back on his word, don't admit it, it's hard to say.

But with this excuse, it's easy to talk about.

But this does not involve Ye Liuli's affinity, this is originally a matter agreed upon by many parties, and Emperor Yongxi is only the executor and cannot be changed.

Now it's just that the situation has changed a little, which can make Da Zhou and Tianlan Sect ask for more benefits, and the negotiations are not yet at the point of breakdown.

And the Xirong wolf lord has also set off, the Xirong wolf lord is not the fourth prince, and there are tens of thousands of people accompanying the frame.

Of course, it is impossible for these tens of thousands of people to enter the territory of the Great Zhou.

The number of people set by the Great Zhou for Xirong is less than 5,000 people, including the servants and guards, which is the treatment that only the king of a country has.

An army of tens of thousands of people is not just leaving, and this time it is a hurry, not a march to fight, and the speed is naturally much slower.

Luo Xing is not qualified to serve as a greeting envoy this time.

Yongxi sent Wu Ning to wait for Ye Hongyi, as well as a squire from the Ministry of Officials, Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and three greeting groups of the main and deputy envoys, to Tianluo Pass to greet them.

Xirong Wolf is coming, this is only afraid of another burst of swords and swords in Luo Jing, and Luo Xing is really reluctant to come back at this time.

Especially Ye Liuli's matter, which made him even more troubled.

Ye Liuli and pro-Xirong are simply a dead end, no matter what level, it is difficult to break the game, Tianlan Sect, Da Zhou, Liuli Temple and Xirong all need a link.

This bond is the marriage between the wolf lord of Xirong and Ye Liuli.

Ye Liuli has the identity of a disciple of Tianlan Sect and the princess of the Great Zhou, and the wolf lord of Xirong has a close relationship with Liuli Temple and is the lord of Xirong recognized by Liuli Temple.

If the two are not a generation apart in age, it can be regarded as a match made in heaven, but the wolf lord of Xirong wants to marry, anyway, marrying a proud girl of the sky, for him, he can't ask for it, anyway, the wolf queen has been dead for many years, and there is no legal obstacle for him to marry again.

But Ye Liuli is willing to bury his life in a bad old man, even if this bad old man is the king of a country and a great master.

Forcing a girl in her twenties to marry a man in her fifties has no feelings at all, not to mention that it is still of an interracial race.

Of course, it is not ruled out that they will get along in the future and will be affectionate and harmonious, but with Ye Liuli's character, it is absolutely impossible.

The legendary Xirong wolf lord Xin Li is lustful and perverted, and likes to eat human milk, which she can't accept.

It's hard to do anyway.

This Xirong wolf lord is already on his way to Luojing, how can this be changed, Su Lao's eagle letter urging him to return to Beijing is basically a letter every three days.

He also had a headache and never thought of a better way.

Even if she escapes from marriage, how to solve the poison of Hongluan on her body? He didn't have a clue, he really wanted to escape from this place of right and wrong and go freely.

However, he was in the red dust, but he couldn't stay out of it.

Perhaps, only when you have absolute power in your own hands can you really do whatever you want, and no one will be able to stop and control you at that time.

But that's also later, and it can't be done now.

"Red Shadow, did you come to the room the night you left Yangzhou?" After lingering, Luo Xing hugged the red shadow in his arms, took a sip of powder, and asked.

"Master Hou knows?"

"Do you take Ben Hou's for fools, and you can't tell who you two are?" Luo Xing smiled, the night before parting, Ning Yurou actually took Hongying to accompany him once, this woman is really an interpretive flower, and she actually knows men so well.

"Yurou said that she couldn't bear it alone, and she didn't want Hou Ye to hold back too hard......" Hongying explained with blushing cheeks.

"You will spoil me like this, and when the time comes, you will be the ones who will suffer." Luo Xing sighed, this nephrite is warm and fragrant, and the days of hugging left and right are really every man's dream, and his former self was just thinking about it, but now it has really come true, it is really cool.

"Master Hou, do you miss Sister Qingyi?" Red Shadow smiled.

"Kindly, I don't know when she will be able to come back when she returns to Beijing this time?" Luo Xing nodded, Qingyi went to Tianwolf Pass, and this time he should return to Beijing with Wu Ning Hou Ye Hongyi after receiving the Xirong wolf master.

"Master Hou, after returning to Beijing, I want to go back?"

"You're alone, are you sure?"

"Well, there are some things that need to be settled, otherwise they will become my heart knot." Red Shadow said.

"Okay, but you go back alone, I don't worry, let Ah Qiang protect you secretly." Luo Xing thought for a moment and nodded.

Red Shadow is now also a first-class great master, and he has the power of self-preservation, if he is secretly guarded by the little demon lord Yang Yingchun, there should be no problem with safety.

"Okay." Red Shadow didn't refuse.

"Okay, let's satisfy Ben Hou first......"

"Master Hou, I can't do it, why don't you call Sister Shangxiang over?"

“……”

Luojingba Bridge Pier.

A group of Nan Yati horses, freshly dressed and angry, seemed to be waiting for someone, around them, it was a clear area, and no one dared to approach.

Recently, Nan Ya Ti Qi has been frequently dispatched to catch a large number of secret spies in Luo Jing in Nan Chu, which has caused many people who do not know the truth to misunderstand and regard Nan Ya Ti Cai as a bad person, so it is naturally "notorious".

However, Nan Yati Ride, as a court eagle dog, naturally doesn't care about the opinions of these ordinary people, as long as he doesn't come to provoke himself, he generally won't take the initiative to provoke people.

"I said, Lord Wang, don't wander around in front of my eyes anymore, my eyes are spent." Yan Shaoqing complained about Wang Miao, the general of the Special Investigation Department who kept pacing back and forth in front of him.

"Aren't I nervous, Master Hou has made a great contribution and has been appointed as a feudal official, I don't know how to speak when we meet later." Wang Miao explained.

"What's there to worry about, you just congratulate you and it's over." Yan Shaoqing said that he really didn't understand these civil officials, why did they have so many twists and turns in their stomachs, and they loved to ponder these useless things all day long.

"Uncle Yan, you are not Hou Ye's subordinate, naturally you can say so, the lower official can't do it, the Hou Ye has been gone for almost two months, the major and minor matters of this special investigation department are handled by the lower officials, Hou Ye is back, he must be asked, in case I can't answer any of them, this will be troublesome."

"Lord Wang is really worried, as far as I know, Luo Hou is not the kind of person with a small belly, you can rest assured, besides, there is no such mean boss who asks questions as soon as he comes back." Yan Shaoqing said with a smile.

Wang Miao thought about it, Luo Xing just came back, how could there be any reason to ask about things immediately, at least after today.

I couldn't help but settle down.

"Master Hou, there are people on the dock, it seems that they are here to greet us." On the bow of the boat, Jiang Yunjing had already seen the people on the dock, and turned around and shouted.

"That's it, slow down, slow down and slowly land." Luo Xing's eyes were much better than Jiang Yunjing's, so he naturally saw it, and even recognized that it was Wang Miao and Yan Shaoqing who were waiting to greet him on the shore.

Wang Miao was able to come, which was expected, but Yan Shaoqing also came, which was a bit unexpected.

However, that is also Qingyi's senior brother, and he is considered to be the eldest brother, so there is nothing wrong with coming to the dock to greet his brother-in-law.

After the big ship docks, it will go ashore at Baqiao Wharf, and as for the boat, it will sail into Nanhu Lake and dock at the edge of Zinan Lake.

It is not allowed to sail directly into the South Lake, and if you have to cross the lock, you must leave except for the necessary boatmen.

It is to prevent people from using this to smuggle and entrain people into the city.

Of course, it depends on whether the card is strict or not, but at least as a court official, you can't take the lead in violating the rules, so how can the people obey it?

"Senior Brother Yan, Brother Wang, two months apart, how are the two of you?" Luo Xing stepped down from the boat, first hugged his fists and smiled, and greeted.

"I've seen Luo Hou." Yan Shaoqing and Wang Miao were also busy stepping forward to greet them.

"We're colleagues, but we're also friends, and it's not a formal occasion, so there's no need to see each other like this." Luo Xing hurriedly returned the gift.

"The Metropolitan Governor is setting up wine in Deyue Tower, and he is catching the wind for the Hou Ye, please!"

"The Metropolitan Governor is too polite, how dare Ben Hou disobey his orders!" Luo Xing nodded, since it was Zhuo Chunfeng's arrangement, he naturally couldn't refuse.

Deyue Building, the most luxurious box, Metropolitan Governor Zhuo Chunfeng has already chartered it down, and emptied the entire floor.

Nanya eats, no one is allowed to approach, even the guy who serves the food is replaced by Nanya's Tiqi, and the boss is not qualified to go upstairs.

Recently, there have been one after another assassinations against the middle and high-level of Nan Ya, and Nan Chu has lost this battle, which is already completely heartbroken.

They retaliated, so not only Luoxing in Yangzhou, but also Luojing's side, Nanya was under great pressure.

Even the safety of ordinary riders is not guaranteed.

This made Zhuo Chunfeng also a headache, and the infiltration of Nanchu Jinyi and Neiwei into Luo Jing was really incredible.

In this Luojing City, there must be an internal response.

Who this inner person should be, I haven't been able to find out yet, or rather, this person is hiding too deeply, too good at hiding.

"See the Grand Governor."

"Luo Hou is polite, come on, please take a seat." Zhuo Chunfeng was standing outside the box door to greet Luo Xing, and there was no one else in Nanya for this treatment.

This time Luo Xing came back, and the debriefing was only one of them, and there was also a reward, and the first battle was determined in the southeast, and he made great contributions.

This is a real military achievement, even if many courtiers oppose it, they can't deny Luo Xing's contributions.

As for the impeachment of him for misconduct in Yangzhou, using his power to make money for himself, etc., what are these?

What the emperor is afraid of is an official who is not greedy for money, greedy for money is to have a handle, you can find a name to do it at any time, you are not greedy for anything, you don't want it, what do you want?

Do you want power?

This right can only be given by the emperor, not by you.

Do you want to be famous, you have to be a famous minister through the ages, as if you are a person from Nanya, this is too difficult, and you can't even do it at all.

Greedy for money and lustful, this is a living person!

This reassures the emperor, as for higher accountability, as long as it is not a rebellion to be the emperor, then whatever.

In just a few months, Luo Xing was able to grow to such a point, which was also unexpected by Zhuo Chunfeng.

But he also knows the emperor's thoughts, and there is also a person within the Nanya to check and balance himself, which is the emperor's mind and the way of balance.

If this person was Yao Wenzhong or Pei Donglai, or Sima Lun, he wouldn't be worried, after all, none of these three people had the ability to wrestle with him.

Only this Luo Xing, who came from behind.

If not, in the battle of the southeast, he also made a lot of layouts, and he made a lot of contributions, but I was afraid that Emperor Yongxi would doubt his ability.

However, Emperor Yongxi would not hand over Nanya to Luo Xing, and he was sure that the emperor was not completely at ease with Luo Xing.

And Luo Xing himself doesn't seem to be interested in Nanya, except for his own one-acre and three-point land, he basically doesn't do anything that crosses the line.

Maybe it's intentional, but even if it's intentional, you can't fault it.

The head of a special investigation department who abides by his duty will not be able to become a knife in his own hand, but at least he will not become an obstacle to himself.

Therefore, when Emperor Yongxi ordered Luo Xing to temporarily take the post of Yangzhou Assassin, he was still happy, if Luo Xing really changed jobs, it would not be a good thing to see it.

But now it seems that Emperor Yongxi does not seem to have the intention of letting Luo Xing leave Nanya, so he has not been removed from the post of director of the Special Investigation Department, and he is also the director of the Yangzhou Division of Nanya, and intelligence and Jing'an are one.

It's almost impossible to let him take charge of Jinling's underground intelligence network.

Yangzhou is too close to Jinling, even if he is allowed to take charge of the Jinling underground intelligence network, it is reasonable, after all, it is the fastest to ask for instructions and make decisions.

However, he will definitely lose the jurisdiction of the Jinling intelligence network, and he, the governor of the Southern Ya, will almost only be able to manage the affairs in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his authority will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, the noon reception banquet is also a wind exploration banquet.

He also wanted to know the real purpose of Luo Xing's return to Luo Jing this time.

The accompanying guests of the reception banquet were Yan Fang, Yan Shaoqing and Wang Miao, but he didn't see any of the commanders of the three divisions, not even Yao Wenzhong, the commander of the Jing'an Division, which made Luo Xing feel a little surprised.

Sima Lun didn't come to pick him up, this is understandable, Pei Donglai, their relationship is quite harmonious, there is no injustice or no hatred, it is easy to say whether they come or not.

But Yao Wenzhong, that is Ye Hongyi's hardcore subordinate, the relationship between the two sides is excellent, unless Zhuo Chunfeng didn't inform him.

But Yan Shaoqing is here, there is no reason why Yao Wenzhong should not come.

"Luo Hou, Lord Yao was assassinated, he was a little injured, and he was recuperating at home, so he didn't come." Yan Shaoqing looked at Luo Xing's eyes in astonishment, and hurriedly explained.

"Lord Yao is injured, who stabbed him?"

"Who else can there be besides the people of Nanchu?" Yan Fang replied.

"Didn't Nan Chu send an envoy over to sue for peace, why did he still carry out such an assassination?" Luo Xing was a little angry, it is understandable to assassinate him, but to assassinate a commander of Jing'an Division, what is this for, a person who is about to retire?
