Shaanzhou, is the burial place of the ancient emperors, located in the hinterland of the northwest inland, bordered by Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Shuzhou, Xiliangzhou, this state can be inherited from the east to the west, the east can knock Yanzhou directly to the imperial capital, the west can conquer Shuzhou into the south of the Yangtze River, when Emperor Xiao was based on this, located in the northwest, looking at the world.

At the same time, Shaanzhou, Yanzhou, and Xiliangzhou are also directly bordered by the grassland, so in the land of these three states, the imperial court stationed the entire Northwest Left Army and part of the Chinese Army, of which the Chinese Army was stationed in Yanzhou, and the Northwest Army was stationed in Xiliangzhou and Shaanzhou with Zhongdu as the center.

After the death of the veteran Zhuge Gong, Zhang Wuzhi regained his illness and became the new governor of the left capital of the Northwest Left Army, sitting in the central capital.

One of the most important purposes of Xu Beiyou's northward trip is to go to Zhongdu again and meet Zhang Wuxi.

This meeting is of extraordinary significance, that is, Xu Beiyou's original intention, after all, he also had an incense relationship with Zhang Wuxi, and he also represents Han Xuan to some extent.

Although Zhang Wuxi's recovery was due to Lan Yu's recommendation, twenty years ago, he was Han Xuan's favorite general, and since Zhang Wuxian became one of the five Zuo Du Governors of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, his position has been wavering, neither falling to Lan Yu, nor returning to Han Xuan's disciples.

Although Han Xuan understood this, he did not agree, so he specially sent a letter to Xu Beiyou, saying that he was in the imperial capital and it was inconvenient to see Zhang Wuxian in person, and hoped that Xu Beiyou, as his righteous son, would visit Zhang Wuxian in person in the name of visiting the deceased, which was not only reasonable, but also represented his great sincerity.

In this regard, Xu Beiyou acted according to orders, and the battle in the temple has never allowed a gentleman, let alone a gentleman's dispute, even if Lan Yu and Han Xuan's morale dispute back then, although the two led by the two did not mean to fight, but after involving most of the temple, they almost made a scene of fighting each other.

In addition to this temple event, Xu Beiyou also wanted to take this opportunity to ask Zhang Wuxi, who was the governor of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, did he know what happened to the Xu family in Xihe.

Xu Beiyou all the way to the west, close to the outside of the plug, there are more and more people riding horses, mostly merchants, and from time to time you can see swordsmen wearing hats.

These swordsmen are not necessarily masters, most of them just rely on the knives in their hands to eat, these people have no fixed residence, fierce and ruthless, they can not only accept the business of hiring people to kill people and steal goods, but also can keep the caravan safe for silver, and use knives with other swordsmen, and fight with horse thieves.

They are similar to a dart game, and they have more shady business than a dart game.

However, this bowl of rice is not so easy to eat, many fledgling swordsmen, little experience, the first time they went into battle, they were stabbed through the heart, or they were cut off half of their brains by horse thieves, this is a real dead man, unlike the Central Plains Dart Bureau and can shout trumpets, and can set friendships. And there are many disputes and intrigues between the swordsmen, stumbling each other or simply stabbing knives in the back, it is not uncommon, and those who can be mixed in this industry for more than ten years are really powerful characters, and even many of the old guards in the Dark Guard Mansion are born in the Northwest Swordsmen.

It is precisely because of this that the local officials and soldiers are very helpless about these fierce swordsmen and horse thieves, and many times they are directly suppressed by the Northwest Army.

Xu Beiyou remembered that when he was a child, he had seen a team of cavalry of the Northwest Army dragging the corpses of more than ten horse thieves from Danxia Village to pass by, attracting many onlookers, he was also in the crowd, a glimpse of the sky, and saw a face that had been dead for a long time, hideous and terrifying, this face gave him an inner impact, no less than Xiao Zhinan's stunning face many years later, both of which also impressed him and made him unforgettable.

It's just that I don't know how Her Royal Highness the princess will feel after learning that Xu Beiyou compared her to a dead swordsman, whether she will raise her eyebrows and directly ask Xu Beiyou to find the dead corpse that she never forgets to marry, or just smile indifferently and know without a trace.

Since it comes to Xiao Zhinan, I have to mention the marriage of the two, in all fairness, compared to those blind marriages and dumb marriages, the two are lucky, after all, they have met and gotten along, and they are much better than those men and women who can't meet for the first time until the wedding night. To this day, the two still correspond occasionally, and although Empress Xu is quite dissatisfied with this, there is no obstacle after Han Xuan personally met Emperor Xiao.

Many scholars of Shilin imagine what kind of scene Han Gelao's adopted son and Her Royal Highness the princess Hongyan passed on the book, it should be a poetry couplet, you give me a poem, I give you a poem, you write a word, I will draw a picture, in short, it is a set of talented and beautiful people.

Some people also think that Jiangdu Xu Gongzi and Princess Qiyang are both scheming people, and they are naturally talking about the general trend of the world together, or plotting against the major affairs of the court.

In fact, the two of them still talk more about some short and trivial things in the parents, such as Xu Beiyou talking about Li Qinglian, who is not worry-free, all kinds of strange objects and exotic fruits and vegetables from the West, and even send some to Xiao Zhinan, Xiao Zhinan will talk about the troubles or interesting things she has encountered recently, such as being colorful and getting into trouble again, the eldest aunt Moshu is talking again, and she was called into the palace by the queen mother to reprimand and so on.

Both of them intentionally or unintentionally hid their respective sufferings, Xu Beiyou never talked about the thrill of booby-trapping Zhang Zhaonu, nor did he mention the bitter battle against Li Zijian, and Xiao Zhinan only downplayed the matter of his poisoning.

Usually, it is simple, there is not so much poetry, there are not so many flies and dogs, and there is no earth-shattering.

In Xu Beiyou's view, a husband and wife should be like this, and it should be like this.

If he hadn't met Xiao Zhinan, hadn't followed Gongsun Zhongmou to travel to the northwest, and hadn't Han Xuan returned to the temple, then he might have become a young swordsman at the age of twenty, and from then on he would have been doing the business of licking blood from the knife edge, earning the silver that hung his head on the belt of his trousers, and the end was nothing more than two kinds, one was to die silently in an unknown place, and there was no one to collect the corpse, and the other was to save enough money for the rest of his life, and buy a house in Danxia Village with scars all over his body, and talk about the rest of his life.

Because of this, Xu Beiyou knows so much about the swordsman industry, because he almost became a swordsman, a swordsman with a sword.

Of course, there are not so many ifs in the world, Xu Beiyou did not become a swordsman with a sword, but became the young master of the Sword Sect, the son of Xu in Jiangdu, and even the third emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty.

Today's Xu Beiyou can condescendingly look down on these people of the same kind in the past, but he is detached.

Xu Beiyou thought of all kinds of messy thoughts in his mind, and he was very emotional in his heart, he escaped from the northwest in a very embarrassed way last time, and this time he came back, can it be regarded as a return to his hometown?
