Xu Beiyou and his entourage did not go to Zhongdu, and after a short pause in Shaanxi, they chose to cross Xiheyuan from Shaanxi and go to Yuzhou.

The last time Xu Beiyou went to the imperial capital, the reason why he passed through Zhongdu was because he also had to go to the small hills outside the Saiwai, and then transfer to Yanzhou from the outside of the Saiwai, this time it was different, and he had to return to the imperial capital in the fastest time, so he chose a closer route.

Compared with Huzhou, where people are panicking, and Shaanxi, where wolf smoke rises, the situation in Yuzhou is slightly better, at least there are no people fleeing, and there is no closed door, at most, when talking about the war in the south and northwest of the Yangtze River, a few words of worry and sighing, on the whole, it is quite peaceful.

Although this team of hundreds of people has tried their best to hurry, but after all, it is not a light horse without care, pulling the spirit of His Majesty the Emperor, the speed can never be raised, and people can not stop, but the horse has to rest, all the way to stop and stop, and it will take half a month to return to the imperial capital at the earliest.

In the twilight, at a post station thirty miles away from Runan Mansion, the team rested on the spot, and more than a dozen secret guards scattered in all directions, each hiding as a secret sentinel. Since the rebellion of Duanmu Ruisheng, His Majesty the Emperor has increased his control over the Dark Guard Mansion, and the previous dismissal of the three hall officials seems to have lost the previous three-legged stand, and the remaining one is more and more powerful, but in fact, he secretly placed the celebrant on the Dark Guard Mansion and the Tiance Mansion.

There was silence in the post station, only the occasional sound of horses' noses, although they were already sleepy and tired, but there was only one hour to rest, and then they had to travel all night until the next post station to rest in peace.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan quietly left the post station and walked to Tianzhong Mountain, Xu Beiyou went to Runan Mansion last time, and was ambushed by the Secret Guard Mansion here, and a huge Beichan Temple turned into a sea of purgatory fire, so that Xu Beiyou hurried by, this time again, although it was also in a hurry, but it was much better than the last time that the situation of encirclement and interception.

Tianzhong Mountain, the name is very big, but it is actually very small, the two came to the foot of the mountain, you can see the top of the mountain at a glance, and it turned out that there are people in Tianzhong Mountain at this time, holding a cane that the literati Yashi used to climb the mountain with in his hand, wearing a brocade dress, and the standard family son style. Xiao Zhinan was a little nervous at first, but he was quickly relieved, not to mention that the two of them were not far from the post station, and the cultivation of Mr. Ping'an Zhang Baisui was just a moment away, it was Xu Beiyou beside her, and he was also a genuine sword immortal, if it wasn't for the character of the eighteenth floor realm of the earth immortal to take action in person, he really couldn't take advantage of it.

Xiao Zhinan put her mind at ease, she originally thought that someone from the Dao Sect was intercepting here, but now that she looks closely, this person is an earth immortal monk, but she is also a newcomer to the earth immortal realm, and she can easily deal with it herself without Xu Beiyou's move.

Xu Beiyou looked at the person who came and hesitated slightly, "Young Master Huo?"

The person who came smiled and said, "But Young Master Xu, Huo Xishen has been waiting here for a long time." ”

In Xiao Zhinan's slight surprise, Huo Xishen slowly walked down from the mountain in the sky, came to the two of them, and saluted: "After Huo Mou learned that Gongzi Xu and Her Royal Highness the Princess were going to return to the imperial capital, he specially waited here, and today he finally waited. ”

Xu Beiyou sighed: "It's hard for you." ”

Huo Xi said sincerely: "If it weren't for the prestige of Han Ge Lao, Huo would not have become the head of the Huo family. ”

Xu Beiyou shook his head with a smile and said: "What kind of grace is this, I haven't even been to the Huo family, but I just asked the old man to say something, if you don't have this ability and qualification, no matter how much the old man says a few more words, you can't be the head of the Huo family." ”

Huo Xishen said softly: "But some people are worse than this in their lifetime, and sometimes there is a world of difference. ”

Xu Beiyou sighed, and then said: "This time the world is in turmoil, the king of Wei, the king of Zhenbei, and the king of Liao, the three feudatories are in turmoil, I think you already know, I won't repeat it, maybe Yuzhou will no longer be a quiet place in the future, I hope you can prepare early." ”

Huo Xishen nodded solemnly.

Xu Beiyou looked up at the night and sighed softly. I don't know when, he gradually became a member of the Great Qi Imperial Court, maybe when Han Xuan returned to the temple, or maybe after marrying Xiao Zhinan, or even earlier, in short, now Xu Beiyou has been really tied to the Great Qi Imperial Court, all say that the scholar is a shoulder to the wind, the moon, mountains and rivers, and the two sleeves hide the breeze, but he is the shoulder of the Sword Sect Imperial Court, and there is no breeze in the two sleeves, this is something that Xu Beiyou did not think of before the age of twenty, let alone thought about it.

Although he has to carry the burden alone, it is still too heavy for a young man who is the age of the crown.

Huo Xishen hesitated for a moment and asked, "Young Master Xu, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I took the liberty to ask, what happened in the imperial capital?"

Xu Beiyou retracted his gaze, shook his head and said: "We don't know, the old man's several replies are vague, and he only says that he will talk back to the imperial capital." ”

Huo Xishen sighed a little surprised, nodded and said, "In this way, there must be something wrong in the imperial capital." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhinan narrowed his eyes, and his face was slightly dark.

Xu Beiyou held her hand, as if he was talking to Huo Xishen, and it was like saying it to her," The changes outside the imperial capital are nothing more than the new monarch Xiao Bai, this majesty is my eldest brother, and I have had many contacts before, in my perception of him, he is neither a stupid person, nor an incompetent person, but since ancient times, there has been no shortage of people who have changed their temperament after ascending the throne of God, Emperor Xuanzong, too many to mention, the position of the emperor, will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains, once you sit on it, it is inevitable that you will not give birth to many ideas that you usually will not have, and you will naturally do a lot of things that should not be done. ”

Huo Xishen glanced at Xiao Zhinan and saw that she was not unusual, so he asked, "What does Gongzi Xu mean, is there something wrong with His Majesty today?"

Xu Beiyou said expressionlessly: "It's just my personal speculation." ”

Xiao Zhinan, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke: "I know Xiao Bai best, there must be something wrong with him, from the fact that he ascended the throne and became emperor without waiting for his father's coffin to return to the imperial capital, he is no longer the previous King Xiao Bai of Qi, people's hearts are like water, there are many ripples, this statement is true." ”

Huo Xishen didn't dare to say more.

Xu Beiyou looked at the mountains in the sky in the night, and muttered in a subtle voice that was not really heard: "People's hearts are like water and many overturns, and the most difficult thing in the world to grasp is the people's hearts. ”

Huo Xishen may not have heard it clearly, but Xiao Zhinan heard it clearly, she glanced at Xu Beiyou deeply, and said: "Huo Gongzi can know that the emperor has changed from far away in Yuzhou, it can be seen that the situation in the imperial capital is out of control, and it is not good to say, when the world is in turmoil, the world is scheming, and it can be said that there are rumors, but Xiao Bai, as the king of a country, has done nothing. ”

She said word by word: "What Xiao Bai doesn't do, this palace will do." ”
