Chapter 430: Changes in Xingqing Mansion
This journey was uneventful, until outside the city of Xingqing Mansion, Bai Sheng never found the opportunity to take down Yelu Bone Desire, although he rode a horse and always walked side by side with Yelu Bone Desire's carriage.
People have self-esteem, and Yelu Gu wanted to invite him once, but he made a faceless fuss, so how could he invite him a second time? He didn't even talk to him again along the way. Conversations inside and outside the car are inherently inconvenient.
In contrast to the peaceful journey of this day, the city gate of Xingqing Mansion appeared to have a solemn atmosphere, and in the twilight, the well-armored defenders of the city gave people a sense of being heavily guarded.
Something happened in Xingqing Mansion.
Yelu Moge and Yelu Guyi were not surprised by this, if it weren't for the accident in Xingqing Mansion, the Western Xia Emperor would not have sent elite soldiers when they left.
They just don't know what's going on, because they don't think anything has anything to do with them.
But now that they know, not only do they know, but Bai Sheng knows it.
Because there are notices posted on the city walls, and there are also pictures and figures.
Bai Sheng's eyesight was so keen, he saw at a glance that the portrait posted on the city wall was actually his own! He was immediately startled, and he was a little relieved to think that he was dressed as a woman.
It was only after this frightening that the fire in his heart that pondered Yelu's bone desire was temporarily extinguished.
His first reaction was, could it be that Bai Qin had come to Western Xia?
Urgently ordered Wei Minghui to go forward to read the notice list, which was full of Western Xia characters, and he couldn't understand it. Don't say that you didn't bring "The Pearl in the Palm of the Palm of Fanhan", even if you do, it is better to let Wei Minghui translate it to him.
Wei Minghui stepped forward to look at it for a while, and when he came back, his feet were a little weak, and he attached it to Bai Sheng's ear and said, "Master, why is your portrait on it?"
Bai Sheng said: "You don't care about this for now, tell me what the list text means, you don't have to avoid others." ”
He was confident that this list was definitely not caused by him, because whether it was him who once pretended to be Toutuo and swaggered in the name of Di Lie, or Bai Sheng, who was in the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty and was controlled by Feng Nandu and Yi Xiao, he would not cause the list of himself to be posted at the gate of Xixia City.
He concluded that the most likely person with his portrait on this list was that Bai Qin had come to Western Xia.
Sure enough, Wei Minghui recounted the content of the list, saying that an unknown thief sneaked into Xingqing Mansion a few days ago, and sneaked into the palace several times to plot misdeeds, killing as many as 17 imperial court guards......
The list also said: This person is extremely bold, and after committing the crime, he still lurks in the city of Xingqing Mansion and refuses to leave, and then still breaks into the palace several times, and even when he encounters the national teacher Sumba and is defeated, he still commits crimes after escaping.
Therefore, the whole city of Xingqing Mansion was under martial law, and it was not allowed to enter but not to leave, and at the same time, all the garrisons were dispatched, and they would not give up until this person was caught.
There is no information about the thief's name, identity, or origin.
After hearing this, Bai Sheng felt that this person could only be Bai Qin, but he didn't know what attracted him in the Western Xia Palace that made him so persevering.
At the same time, he was also surprised by Bai Qin's martial arts, he was able to escape under Sumba's hands, this ability is also amazing, just look at the kung fu of these monks of Ba Xi Jingming, you can judge that Songba's martial arts must be extremely strong, and Ba Xi Jingming has also mentioned the strength of Sumba.
He remembered that Ba Xi Jingming's original words at that time were: "If you go to Xingqing Mansion, you will not return, because you can neither beat Princess Pingnan, nor can you beat my master Songba Monk." ”
Is Bai Qin's martial arts so strong? Could it be that he has gained some adventure through the trapping island map? Or has he obtained the "Hetu Luo Book" and realized his brilliant martial arts?
If he really obtained the Book of Hetuluo and comprehended the martial arts, then what else did he do in Western Xia? Isn't this a superfluous move?
Isn't it okay to just hide and cultivate for a few years to become a peerless master and then come out? Why go to Xingqing Mansion to make trouble, if you don't do it, you will ruin my plan to pass through Western Xia this time!
For a while, he thought a lot, and while he was amazed by Bai Qin's martial arts, he also blamed this brother of the same mother, so that he forgot to order the Ma Kui to enter the city.
Originally, no one was not allowed to enter the city, but now the ban of Xingqing Mansion is that Ma Kui is allowed to enter but not to leave, not to mention Ma Kui, who is a special soldier, even ordinary business travelers can enter the city at will.
But Bai Sheng stopped and asked Wei Minghui to check the list text, of course the Ma Kui would not dump the master and enter the city first.
Bai Sheng, Yelu Guyu and Ba Xi Jingming's team lined up like this, half of Ma Kui was in front, half of Ma Kui was behind, Ma Kui in front stopped, and Yelu Guyi's carriage could only stop and wait.
It just so happened that a few of the soldiers guarding the city were familiar with some of the women in Makui, and they also greeted each other and chatted a few words.
These soldiers stationed in Xingqing Mansion were the elite of the Western Xia army, and the infantry of Western Xia took turns to guard the Hengshan Fortress, which was replaced once a year, and the infantry of Xingqing Mansion was exchanged for the infantry of Hengshan Military Village. The aim is not to keep these elite infantry from suffering for a long time.
So now some soldiers who are familiar with Ma Kui are actually their former "friends".
After such a delay, Yelu in the carriage became a little impatient, and raised the curtain to urge Bai Sheng: "Commander Bai, what's wrong? Is someone not letting this princess enter the city?"
Bai Sheng woke up like a dream, and said apologetically: "It's me who is worried about the country and delays the princess from entering the city." Then he ordered Ma Kui to enter the city, but he forgot that he was speaking Chinese.
He almost showed his stuff this time, but Yelu had no suspicions, because she couldn't understand Xixia dialect in the first place, but under the influence of her grandfather and father, she was more keen on Chinese and sinology, and could understand Bai Sheng's Chinese.
At this time, Bai Sheng's attitude towards Yelu Bone Desire had changed, and Yelu Bone Desire could also feel it, so he couldn't help but say in stiff Chinese: "Come with me to see my sister later, you are from Western Xia, I thank you as much as my sister thanks you." ”
The meaning of these words is very clear, it is meaningless for the princess of Liao to thank a Xixia Makui, but the Xixia queen thanks Xixia Makui, which has a great significance, and it directly means that it is soaring.
In Yelu's eyes, Bai Sheng has always been a woman, and she talks to Bai Sheng like this just to repay her kindness, but how can she know that this "woman" can't stretch out her two hands to rip off her clothes......
Bai Sheng wished he could get closer to Yelu Guyi, so he hurriedly said thank you, and the two actually talked, only to hear Ba Xijingming in the back frowning, why did this Makui leader answer in Chinese with the princess of Liao?
Although Ba Xijingming couldn't understand Chinese, he knew that the two of them spoke Chinese. He was surprised for a while, and then he was relieved, and said in his heart that this Ma Kui knew that the princess of Liao did not understand Xixia language, so he found a third-party language to communicate.
Bai Sheng knew that Ba Xi Jingming had given him a perfect explanation in his heart, and after saying a few words, he suddenly remembered his flaws, and immediately stopped talking, and looked back at Ba Xi Jingming, but saw Ba Xi Jingming looking at him with a smile, without any hostility at all.
After all, Ba Xi Jingming also inherited his grace to save him.
But seeing that Zhao Kai, who had been following the carriage, urged the horse to catch up, and said to Yelu Guyu: "Now that the two countries of Song and Xia are at war, I will enter the city with you, you have to protect me thoroughly, otherwise I will be miserable." ”
