Chapter 143 A trip to the desert
Seeing that the man in black showed no sign of leaving, Murong Yao frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"
The man in black replied, "There is one more thing that I think I should tell my master, that is, recently the emperor and the empress dowager have sent someone to inquire about Princess Qin. But there is also a man and a horse, which seems to be quite vicious, and even the spies of Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager dare to move!"
Hearing the words, Murong Yao said that the empress dowager and the emperor's relationship with the fifth sister was probably caused by the song "National Style" on the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and the other faction was probably the king of Qin!
Let's say that Zhao Ling took Murong Xun all the way to the north. After a few days, he used it as a tour of mountains and rivers during the day, but it was late autumn. The more he walked north, the more desolate the scenery became. At night, he met an inn. If he missed it, he also had the right to sleep with the stars, or it was related to his mood, plus Murong. Xun deliberately slowed down the stars, but it was also comfortable and leisurely. However, it made a lot of people in the Qin Palace suffer. Yingge had a straight face every day, while Yan Yu pestered Zhao Hui to inquire about the situation every day. Zhao Hui was obviously worried and had to comfort Yan Yu desperately. Nothing happened.
Zhao Hui naturally believes that his prince will not have an accident, but he has to pray once a day. Your Majesty, please come back quickly! I can't stand it anymore!
After more than ten days of travel, it has gradually approached Sifang City, the central city of northern Jiangsu.
The weather in the north is dry, and there are times when there are winds and sand visits. If the wind is strong, it is not that you have never met the yellow sand covering the sky and the sun. However, Zhao Ling and his party are also used to the vicissitudes of the weather because of the perpetual foreign war, and Murong Xun has been to Subei before, and she is not in the greenhouse. There is a delicate woman growing up inside, so there is no discomfort along the way.
The desert is yellow sand, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the long river is full of sunset. Compared with the prosperous willows in Chang'an, the northern desert is far away, and the wild geese are flying. There are a few more loneliness and barrenness, but it is more free and heavy.
Zhao Ling and his party dressed up as leather merchants, and a group of carriages with several goods carts entered the Sifang City before sunset.
After finding an inn to settle down, Zhao Ling came to open the curtain and helped Murong Xun get out of the car. The two entered the inn side by side, and the sharp-eyed little two greeted them with a smile. Sifang City is not as prosperous as Chang'an, but it is an important city on the northern border. It is the only place for business travelers. Although the second child of this shop is in a remote place, there are many people who have seen it. He has long practiced a pair of golden eyes. At this moment, he sees a pair of Bi people who enter side by side. The man is dressed in a white brocade robe, with a handsome face and a clear manner. Gui Fengliu, the woman was dressed in a white gauze skirt, covered with a piece of gauze to protect her from the wind and sand. Although she didn't see her face, she was graceful and peerless. She said in her heart, looking at the character of the two, she must not be ordinary people. Now she greeted them warmly and said with a smile, "Is the guest officer at the top or staying in the hotel!"
Zhao Ling did not answer. A bodyguard had already come forward to explain things related to the child, while Zhao Ling took Murong Xun to a window seat in the hall.
After a day's journey, Murong Xun had already been tired, but she observed Zhao Ling's good spirit. She couldn't help sighing that her body was delicately raised. Unexpectedly, she couldn't stand such a day, not as good as this seriously injured patient. .
Zhao Ling happily took off the tulle on his head for Murong Xun and asked with concern, "Are you tired? It's better if we go back to our room to eat!"
Murong Xun smiled and said, "Since you are here, it's good to enjoy more customs and customs!" The old marquis Chen has always had good customs. We have traveled all the way. I see that the people here are hospitable, generous and simple. There are not many rules in Chang'an. If possible, I would like to live here for more time!"
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "If you like it here, why do we live here?"
Murong Xun only regarded Zhao Ling as a joke and didn't answer. How could she not understand in her heart? Now that his mother's concubine has not been rescued, how can he feel at ease? For herself, Zhao Zhi's child and the light shadow trapped in the Zijin Palace are her uneasy concerns. At this time, this is regarded as if two people can have one more day!
The two said a few things they had seen along the way, that is, they watched Xiao Er bring up the wine and dishes and asked them to use it slowly with a smile.
Zhao Ling smoked the dish for Murong and said, "This hand-grabbing mutton is a famous dish in Sifang City. Come to Sifang. If you don't eat hand-grabbing mutton, it will be useless!"
Murong Xun smiled and looked at Zhao Ling, who was busy, "How can I come to Sifang City for the first time?"
Zhao Ling also smiled, "What, have you been here?"
Murong Xun told the story that he had come to Sifang City before and saved Chen Yuzhi by mistake, and was accepted as a righteous daughter by the old marquis. In the past few days, the two have been getting along with each other, and there is nothing to say. Murong Xun also told Zhao Ling in person that he was originally a wind shadow building, but one thing is always A secret is that it was about Nan Chuyi in her previous life. It goes without saying that this matter is quite against common sense, but the two were the relationship between their uncles and sister-in-law in their previous lives. It took him a long time to accept it. Now, what should Zhao Ling think?
"In this way, you and the old marquis are quite familiar with each other, and this time it is much more convenient!" Zhao Ling smiled and said, "But don't worry. Let's play in Sifang City for a few days and then look for the old marquis!"
The two were talking when they saw that there were several people talking on the table around them. The young man in blue said, "Isn't the world about to be in chaos?" Haven't you heard that the State of Wei has begun to take action? There is going to be a hard battle between the State of Wei and Daxiang. If Daxiang wins, the border of Daxiang will be worry-free in the next decades, but if it loses, the people of Daxiang will suffer!"
Another man with a little beard on a slightly older face retorted: "The State of Wei had activated against Daxiang a few years ago. It was the unique state of Wei. Only when Daxiang and the State of Yan joined hands could they fight against the State of Wei. If that could make the State of Wei return, now, the relationship with the State of Yan has become more and more intimate. If the State of Wei and Da If Xiang uses troops, the State of Yan will certainly not sit idly by. Who will win this war?"
The young man in blue said, "The State of Wei has coveted Daxiang for a long time, and has also had a lot of contact with the State of Yan for so many years. If the benefits of the State of Yan are allowed, the State of Yan may not send troops to help!"
The beard said, "Can't Yan understand the truth of dead lips and cold teeth?"
The young man in blue said, "Ha ha, the emperor of Yan is lingering on the sickbed. The prince of Yan is incompetent and indulging in wine and sex, and the State of Yan is not such a peace in China. I'm afraid that he will take care of himself at that time. Where will he take care of Daxiang?" After a pause, the blue clothes sighed, "And Daxiang, because of the king of Qin, the military strength has been greatly improved in recent years, but unfortunately, the king of Qin doesn't know why he disappeared. It is said that the Huangfu Junhua of the Huangfu family is about to go on an expedition, and this Huangfu family is also a talent!"
Someone on the table said again, "Then why are you so worried?"
The young man in blue said, "I'm not worried about the rushing outside. I can't help Daxiang's man for a while. I'm worried that it's Daxiang's civil strife. Some people take advantage of the country to accumulate wealth, some people restrain their power, and some are even afraid that they will take advantage of this!" After a pause, he continued, "Whether it is the four major families or the Presbyterian Pavilion, which restricts the implementation of your majesty's imperial power because of too much power, but this person is not all for Daxiang to disobey your majesty's insistence, just for his own interests. How can the Chinese people resist the enemy?"
Beard said, "Do you mean to abolish the Presbyterian Pavilion that Daxiang has lasted for hundreds of years and pull out Daxiang's four deep-rooted families?" He shook his head and sighed, "This must make the world chaotic. This is the foundation of the country!"
There is another humane on the table: "Idiot, idiot, don't talk about national affairs anymore, be careful of getting into trouble!"
Several people laughed and talked a few words, changed the topic, and talked about the wind and the moon, but the interview of the young man in blue looked helpless.
