Chapter 300: A belated birthday gift
Xie Huanzhang, the king of Xunyang County, was silent for a long time, he frowned and pondered for a long time, but finally nodded slowly.
"Zhaozhao, I think about it, looking at the context before and after, it seems that your guess is not unreasonable."
Xie Zhao raised his eyes to look at him, smiling with a nonchalant expression.
"Actually, whether my guess is true or not, it's just an afterthought.
Uncle, please listen to me, since there is no war in the frontier now, the Xie family can also recuperate well, so that the children of the clan can live a stable life for a few years.
You are now the head of the Xunyang Xie family, and don't get involved in these things anymore. You've done a great job before, and keep it up in the future. ”
Xie Huanzhang frowned and said, "Do you want me to just watch your sister and brother come like this?" ”
Xie Zhao snorted, waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Little uncle, you and my uncle and nephew don't talk nonsense, don't be angry if I say something you don't like, even if you are in a hurry about this matter, what can you do?
I'm fine now, and I can say a few words from the bottom of my heart.
But if you ask Jing Yan, I dare to assert that you are afraid that you will not be able to ask a word. In that case, it's better to let go and stop embarrassing yourself. ”
Xie Huanzhang looked directly at her and suddenly asked, "Is it, Zhaozhao." But why did I see you when you rode back to the city today, the Xie soldiers beside me said, your martial arts realm is the Jin Yao realm?
Now, even people in the Mahayana realm can easily see through the reality of your martial arts realm, how do you plan to explain this? ”
She. Can it really be handled?
Xie Zhao sighed and continued to fool people with their lives:
"Uncle, you also said that the guards around you are just Mahayana realm, how can he see through my reality and reality? That's just a deliberate illusion on my part.
As well as the matter between me and Jingyan, I will find a good opportunity to solve it properly in the future. I'm really good, you don't have to worry about me.
I have seen a lot of winds and waves in this life, and I will not capsize in the hands of my own family. It's you."
Xie Zhao paused, and suddenly said slowly:
"You must have left Zhaoge quietly with people in order to find me because the scouts returned some anomalies in Zhaoge City?"
Xie Huanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"It's not because of you unconscious girl."
Xie Zhao looked at him fixedly, puzzled:
"In that case, why did my uncle come to Muskton City, the capital of the Western Frontier Country?"
Xie Huanzhang sighed: "I was initially. I really didn't want to come here. However, not long after I left Zhaoge City, I was intercepted by the Assassins. ”
"What?"
Xie Zhao suddenly changed color.
But since Xie Huanzhang is standing in front of her now, it means that the other party's assassination did not help her.
She thought for a moment, and immediately shook her head and said:
"It won't be Jing Yan. Not to mention that he didn't find out what you already knew, and even if he did, you were his uncle after all.
What's more, you are still an unarmed scribe, so he is no threat at all, and he will never attack you. Isn't it?"
Xie Zhao frowned, thinking of Xie Huanzhang's movements, and immediately said the key to the point.
"Is it the hand of the people from the Western Xinjiang?"
Xie Huanzhang nodded slowly, with a smile in his eyes.
"That's right, talking to you really saves time and effort."
He said lightly: "The guards around me recognize that the assassins' martial arts moves come from the Western Frontier.
But the fact that I left Zhaoge was to avoid the eyes and ears of others, and it was impossible to attract attention, but I don't know why they were able to keep up with me in the first place. ”
Xie Zhao frowned and made up for him softly:
"Then there is only one possibility, that is, someone has long been eyeing the little uncle. So, you came to the West because of the clues of the assassin's moves? ”
Xie Huanzhang bowed: "That's right." That time period was too coincidental, so I once wondered if your disappearance had something to do with the people of Western Xinjiang, so I led people all the way to track it down. ”
Xie Zhao was silent when he heard this.
The clues they got in Handyong before pointed to all the root causes of manipulating everything behind and trying to provoke chaos in the world to the western frontier;
And Xie Huanzhang also secretly left Zhaoge, and was intercepted and killed by the Western Xinjiang warriors for the first time
There are so many coincidences that it's hard for her not to think about it.
If the person behind the pursuit and killing of Xie Huanzhang is really the same person behind the scenes who planned the earth-shattering changes in the Northern and Southern Dynasties ten or twenty years ago, then this matter is definitely not something that Xie Huanzhang, a weak scribe, should participate in for the sake of safety.
Xie Zhao suddenly said: "Little uncle, don't investigate in depth about the future, I'll deal with the rest of the matter."
Please return to Zhaoge City as soon as possible, as long as you are in the temple and stand generously under the 'sun', those ghosts who act in secret will not come forward. ”
Because the time is not right, the opportunity is not right.
Xie Huanzhang frowned.
"You want me to hide behind and watch your junior charge?"
Xie Zhao shook his head and smiled.
"That's not the case, little uncle, you're too careful, it's just that I happen to be looking into this matter too. If there are many people, it is inevitable that the rumors will leak.
What's more, now that I have the help of a master by my side, it is better than the scout soldiers who have retired from the army, so you felt sorry for the junior at that time, just give me this opportunity. ”
Xie Huanzhang was silent for a moment, frowned and said:
"You mean those two guards with a high martial arts realm around you?"
Xie Zhao smiled.
"That's just a rhetoric to the outside world, they are not actually guards, but my friends in the rivers and lakes."
Xie Huanzhang was stunned.
He was relieved to hear that Ling He and Bo Xuan were actually Xie Zhao's friends.
It is not uncommon for the "Chitose Sword Immortal" to walk the rivers and lakes in the past and know a few martial arts masters.
Xie Huanzhang was silent for a moment, and said: "Is it that as long as my uncle returns to Zhaoge and the temple as if nothing happened, and continues to be that mud bodhisattva-like waiter of the Ministry of Rites and the king of Xunyang County, it can be regarded as a favor for you?" ”
Xie Zhaoshu smiled and nodded, and said:
"If Uncle wants to help me, please don't show a different color in front of Jing Yan."
Xie Huanzhang sighed softly when he heard this.
"You don't need to explain this, my uncle will naturally take care of it.
Well, in that case, it is not for nothing to know that you are safe now. Tomorrow I will bring someone back to the Southern Dynasty, you don't have to worry. ”
Xie Zhao nodded lightly and said, "Uncle, as soon as you enter the border of the Southern Dynasties, you will immediately go to the border mansion to reveal your identity."
As long as you walk in the 'sun', the Assassins will not dare to show their faces, remember, do not walk at night, do not take it lightly. ”
Xie Huanzhang looked at her quietly for a moment, then suddenly took two steps forward, stretched out his hand and gently hugged the thin figure of the woman in front of him into his arms.
"I see, Zhaozhao, you have to be careful. Don't rely on your martial arts to be careless. ”
Xie Zhao was stunned.
She hadn't been so close to people for a long time, and she was suddenly taken into the crook of her arm by her elders in a protective posture, and she froze in place almost instantly.
Xie Zhao was silent for a long time, and finally slowly raised his hand, hugged the man with an elegant temperament in front of him, and patted him on the back.
She said, "Well, we'll all be safe." ”
He replied, "We will be safe." ”
After Xie Huanzhang let go of her, he took out a small jade rabbit made of jade from his cuff.
The little rabbit carving is so vivid and lifelike that it can almost be fake.
Xie Zhao could see at a glance that this must be a carver from the king of Xunyang County.
Xie Zhao was stunned and asked:
"What is this?"
How could Xie Huanzhang carry such an object that did not suit his temperament?
The king of Xunyang smiled freely.
"I wanted to give you a birthday gift two years ago on your eighteenth birthday, but unfortunately I didn't have time to give it that year.
Now that you are about to reach the crown, my uncle will make up for you, although it is a little late.
But I hope that we will show that we will get our wish in the morning and twilight, and that we will be healthy every year. ”
Xie Zhao was slightly stunned.
She unconsciously reached out to hold the jade rabbit carved with warm and warm tentacles.
She is a rabbit.
This gift. The little uncle has a heart.
I don't know how long it took, Xie Zhao suddenly raised his head, his smile was bright and sweet.
"Thank you, uncle, I like this birthday gift very much."
