Chapter 173: Gathering

"How can this be, how can it be ......" The Nine Emperor Princes sat on the table weakly, his face full of desolation.

Suddenly, as if he suddenly remembered something, he stood up suddenly, grabbed the sleeve of the old man surnamed Lu, and swayed vigorously: "Old man Lu, you won't tell your father about this, will you? He won't return to the palace, will he?"

Looking at the Nine Emperor Princes who were praying in front of him, the old man's heart suddenly softened, he nodded, and said, "Nine Emperor Princes, don't worry, no matter what the future, the old slave will do his best to protect you."

The Nine Emperors listened to the old man's words, his face was incredulous, he slowly loosened the old man's sleeve, and asked in a trembling voice, "So, you still decided to inform your father about this?"

The old man nodded and did not speak.

The Nine Emperors' face was full of horror, he pushed the old man away, struggled to run out, and kept muttering: "No, no, don't ......"

The old man looked at the back of the Nine Emperor Princes staggering away in the restaurant, with a look of unbearability, alas, the Nine Emperor Princes, not old and ruthless, you don't know how much Your Majesty regrets in recent years!

After sighing twice, the old man didn't dare to slack off anymore, he ran out of the door, followed behind the Nine Emperor Princes unhurriedly, and carefully protected.

The Nine Emperors smiled self-deprecatingly in front of him, looked up at the darkening sky, shook his head and walked forward.

"Old man Lu, let's go back to Bianjing!" In the night, the three princes came over suddenly.

The old man's figure was stunned, with a bitter face, looking at the down-and-out figure of the Nine Emperor Princes in front of him, full of pity.

......

Huo Tianqing and Qiao Feng drove fast horses, riding the night, and ran non-stop towards the west.

It was already getting dark, and we had to hurry to the next town to find a place to stay.

In Xiaoshi Town, Huo Tianqing and the two wore stars and moons, and rode horses for nearly an hour. Finally in this town.

Tethered to the door, the two entered the inn.

Without further ado, the two of them each found a room to live in. Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, the two set off early after breakfast. Rushing all the way towards Kunlun.

......

In this way, more than 20 days, the two of them rushed to the nearest town to Kunlun Mountain, which is also the largest town near Kunlun Mountain, about more than 100 miles away from Kunlun, from which to the west, there are no large towns, the two decided to wait here for the arrival of Xuzhu.

This is also the border of the Northern Song Dynasty. Dragons and snakes are mixed, and people from all walks of life gather, including foot merchants in the desert and shepherds on the plateau. There are also warriors from the Central Plains.

Because it is located at the junction of several countries, the goods here are also the most abundant, such as tea, porcelain, and jewelry from the Western Regions. There are also various hides from nature......

When Huo Tianqing first came here, after seeing everything here, he suddenly returned to his previous life! a dazzling array of goods, all kinds of vendors, and vendors setting up stalls. If the scene is changed again, I am afraid that it will really be a modern commercial street!

Because Xuzhu has not yet arrived, the two of them do not dare to act rashly, so, these two days during the day the two of them are just here to drink and have fun, and at night they quietly come to the door to investigate, but the two of them do not dare to startle the snake, they are all on the top of the light, find a high ground, quietly look at the Mingjiao station, observe the defense, personnel strength and other matters there, and make some preparations for the big war in the coming day.

Time flies quickly, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, but Huo Tianqing and the two of them are waiting in a hurry, what's the matter with this guy Xuzhu, he came so late, what is he rubbing about! In the tormented waiting of the two, time passed day by day.

Finally, on this day, some local spies hired by Huo Tianqing sent a message back to Huo Tianqing, saying that they saw the person Huo Tianqing described to him enter the city.

Huo Tianqing jumped up happily on the spot, he hurriedly pulled Qiao Feng, and under the leadership of the spy, he came to the inn where Xuzhu lived.

Looking at the inn in front of him, Huo Tianqing was in a hurry, and he was about to pull Qiao Feng in, but the spy reached out at this moment to block Huo Tianqing's way.

"Guest, go slowly, you can settle the rest of the money first!" the spy began.

"Okay, take it all, it's really annoying" Huo Tianqing reached out and untied a wallet from his waist and threw it into the hands of the spies, pulling Qiao Feng into the inn.

"Eh, two guest officers, please come in, are you two sharp-minded or staying in the hotel" A clever junior immediately greeted him.

Huo Tianqing casually took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and threw it into the little second-hand, saying, "Find someone"

Xiao Er immediately smiled when he got the silver, and he smiled flatteringly: "Guest officer, who are you looking for?"

"Is there a person named Xuzhu who is coming to stay today?" Huo Tianqing asked.

"Xuzhu, you wait first, I'll find it for you" After speaking, Xiao Er ran to the counter, found an old man and began to flip through the account book.

Just then, a call came.

"Big brother, third brother!"

Huo Tianqing and Qiao Feng turned their heads when they heard the sound, and then they saw Xuzhu's sturdy figure standing on the stairs looking at the two of them in surprise.

Huo Tianqing and Qiao Feng didn't care about entanglement with Xiao Er, they stepped forward in three steps and two steps, came to Xuzhu, and asked a question at the same time: "Why are you here now?"

Immediately after, Huo Tianqing and Qiao Feng glanced at each other, and then looked at Xuzhu in unison and seriously.

Xu Zhu was embarrassed by the scrutinizing gazes of the two, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

"Hey, third brother, you seem to have become a lot more handsome recently!" Xu Zhu suddenly looked at Huo Tianqing with a surprised face.

"What do you mean to become handsome, the master has always been very handsome, okay!" Huo Tianqing said smugly.

"Don't you want to make a joke, tell me honestly, why didn't you go these days, why didn't you come so late?" Qiao Feng looked dissatisfied.

"Big brother, I didn't expect to see you for many days, and your heroism is much stronger!"

"Oh, is it?" Qiao Feng reached out and touched his cheek with a slight movement.

"Well, big brother, don't be deceived by him, he's pouring ** soup for the two of us!" Huo Tianqing let out a lion's roar and called back Qiao Feng, who was in narcissism.

"Wow, you kid, I knew you weren't as honest as you seemed on the surface, now it's exposed!" Qiao Feng suddenly realized, he immediately changed into a fierce expression, staring at Xuzhu with his eyes.

"Okay, don't make any noise, it's upset my old man, come upstairs and tell me if you have any complaints!" a soft female voice came.

"Senior Li?" Hearing this voice, Huo Tianqing was stunned for a moment, and he looked at Xuzhu for some reason.

Xuzhu waved his hand, did not speak, and motioned for the two to follow him.

Huo Tianqing and the others had no choice but to say no more, and silently followed Xuzhu upstairs.

You must know that the one upstairs is Huo Tianqing's mother-in-law and grandmother, how dare Huo Tianqing disobey her orders?
