Ximenqing turned his head again and persuaded Sima Bai: "Brother Sima, don't care, Tie Niu is just open-mouthed, in fact, others are quite good, he is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted man." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Sima Bai knew that his reaction just now was too intense, so he took a deep breath, calmed down, and sat down again.

Nan Tianqiong wanted to take another big bowl, and just wanted to pour wine for Sima Bai, but he reached out and stopped him. I only heard Sima Bai say solemnly: "When you are leading troops outside, you can't drink alcohol." Please don't blame you, brother!"

Ximen Qing also said on the side: "Brother Sima's words are true, brother don't force him." With that, he lifted the teapot in front of him and poured a bowl of tea for Sima Bai.

While filling the tea, Ximen Qing said: "This tea is Dongting Biluochun, although it is not the best, but it is also fragrant and elegant, mellow and sweet, with a long aftertaste, and it is easy to drink tight~"

Sima Bai looked at the tea bowl, and sure enough, the cords were slender, tender and green, and the soup was green and clear, and the bottom of the leaves was soft and even. He picked up the tea bowl with both hands and took a sip slightly, it actually had a floral and fruity flavor, which was really fresh and fresh!

Biluochun belongs to the category of green tea. It is mainly produced in Dongting Mountain in Taihu Lake, Wu County, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so it is also called "Dongting Biluochun". According to records, Biluo spring tea began in the Ming Dynasty, the common name is "scared people's fragrance", to the Qing Dynasty Kangxi years, Kangxi Emperor inspected and tasted this kind of soup green, curly like a snail of the famous tea, double appreciated, but felt that "scared people's fragrance" its name is indecent, so the title "Biluochun". Since then, this tea has become a tribute tea every year.

But to Ximenqing's surprise, this tea was actually planted in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is now not famous, and it has been reduced to ordinary tea for inn hospitality.

"It's really good tea!" Sima Bai exclaimed after a while. He had already decided that when he returned to Bianliang after all the Western Xia soldiers were captured and the matter was over, he would definitely bring some Dongting Biluochun back, and let his apprentice Zhao Xu taste it.

Ximenqing did not expect that because of his praise for this tea, the famous tea Dongting Biluochun came out six hundred years ahead of schedule.

But that's all for later~

"I've always had a question I want to ask Brother Sima. I heard from the two brothers that they were Brother Sima who met near Yangzhou. What is going on? Why is Brother Sima moving so fast? Ximen Qing saw that Sima Bai was attracted by the tea in front of him, and forgot the unhappiness between him and Li Kui, so he asked aloud.

Sima Bai squinted at Ximenqing, with an expression of 'you also have something you don't understand to ask me for advice'. This made Ximenqing very unhappy.

Sima Bai put down the tea bowl and said, "Are you an official of our court who eats dry rice? As early as when Helian Enke, the general of the Western Xia expedition to the east, sent an envoy to Bianliang, we were monitoring his every move. When his mission was over, he did not return to Western Xia immediately, but stayed for three days fifty miles outside the city of Bianliang. Three days later, when our spies went to investigate again, they couldn't find any trace of them. So I led two battalions of forbidden soldiers and went out to find out what was going on with them. After much inquiry, as well as the clues left by Khrenko, we deduced that he had gone all the way south. He is looking for secluded mountain roads and sneaking around along the way, and there must be an ulterior secret......"

Ximenqing suddenly said: "It turns out that there are more strong players among the strong, and a mountain is higher than a mountain! Brother Sima is really a master, and he can guess the purpose of Helian Enke's trip based on a little clue." ”

In his opinion, Sima Bai must have been sure that Helian Enke went south to sabotage the Jiangnan Martial Arts Conference, so he chased all the way to Yangzhou, otherwise why didn't he go to Luzhou and Jiangling? If he hadn't found the Western Xia soldiers and reported the news, Sima Bai would have arrived tomorrow at the latest to save the people in Jiangnan. It is true that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people, and the ancients did not deceive me!

Sima Bai snorted, did not answer, and drank tea by himself.

......

After having lunch with Ximenqing and a few others, Sima Bai returned to the barracks. The South Heavenly Dome and the North Futu bid farewell to the West Gate, took the 'Black Whirlwind' Li Kui, and returned to Yanggu County.

Ximen Qing instructed the shopkeeper to feed the horses at night, and he plans to leave Huangqiao Town tomorrow and continue to explore the rivers and lakes. After Sima Bai returned to the barracks, he found that in just one morning, he had captured more than 600 Xixia soldiers and captured more than 400 war horses. made Sima Bai happy to close his mouth this day, and felt that this attack on the Xixia people was really profitable.

If Ximen Qing was here, he would definitely be shocked by Sima Bai's expression: I have known him for so long, and all his smiles add up to not as many smiles as he has today.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ximenqing brought his white crane horse, walked out of Huangqiao Town, and rode north.

It's been a really unexpected year. Ximen Qing had just been on a trip for a day, and at noon the next day, he received a letter in the teahouse on the side of the road. The person who sent the letter was an intelligence officer of the imperial court, and the letter was sent from Bianliang.

Ximenqing's heart sank, he thought that he had no fixed place to live and his whereabouts were erratic, and Zhao Xu would definitely have a hard time finding him. Unexpectedly, his whereabouts, and even his every move, were under his surveillance, and most importantly, he did not find any suspicious people along the way......

Thinking of this, Ximenqing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat behind his back: The intelligence department of the Great Song Dynasty is really hidden and cannot be underestimated!

Ximenqing suppressed the shock in his heart, and did not embarrass the person who sent the letter, and let him return. He opened the envelope and unfolded the letter, which contained only eight large letters:

"I'm in danger, come back to help me quickly!"

If Zhao Xu hadn't encountered a major crisis, he wouldn't have looked for me, a person from the rivers and lakes, he must have been in big trouble, and it was very likely to be related to martial arts people.

In fact, Ximenqing only guessed part of it. This letter was written by Zhao Xu to Sima Bai, and Sima Bai thought about it for a while, and somehow, he ordered his subordinates to forward the letter to Ximenqing.

Ximenqing fell into deep thought: Emperor Zhao Xu is the first best friend I made when I first arrived in this era, the two of us have similar temperaments, and now he is in trouble, how can I stand idly by?

Ximenqing no longer cared about his whereabouts being monitored, he had lunch, jumped on his horse and whipped up, and headed towards Bianliang.

Within a few days, Ximen Qing stepped into Bianliang Chengzhong. He didn't know what difficulties Zhao Xu encountered, but he knew that the unknown was the most dangerous, so the first task after coming back was to find out Zhao Xu's current situation!

Thinking about this, Ximen Qing paced to Xuande Gate. Everything is the same here, nothing different.

The gatekeeper checked Ximenqing's identity, and there was no problem with the waist card, so he was released into the palace. Walking in the palace, Ximenqing carefully looked at the palaces and attics he passed, because he had sneaked in at night before, and he hadn't browsed it well.
