Thinking

Xiao Zhi glanced at Jiang Xuan, as if hesitating to say something, Qi Si also turned to look at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan looked at the two of them, and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense about other girls, my son, I am very tight-lipped."

Qi Si couldn't help laughing, and slapped him with her arms.

Xiao Zhi also smiled, and continued: "Her family wants to make an engagement for her, and the other party is the son of the admonishing doctor's family. It is said that his character is not good. The admonishing doctor has recently been involved in a case, and it is the Shenyingwei who is handling it. She came here to ask about the situation."

When Qi Si heard this, his heart moved, and he asked: "Is the person who is betrothed to her named Li Yan?"

Xiao Zhi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that due to Si to guess it all at once, he nodded and replied: "Exactly."

Li Yan was one of Li Xuanrong's former friends, and he was also the guy who almost took Qisi as prey when he was hunting in Wangyue Valley. Qisi's impression of him can be said to be second only to Duji Falcon.

Thinking of the past all at once, Qi Si felt a little sympathetic to the girl, and said, "Li Yan is indeed... This girl is really going to marry Li Yan, probably because she has suffered a lot."

Xiao Zhi glanced at him, and said: "Li Yan's father, Li Linyue, is an admonishing doctor, and he is a member of Prime Minister Li Cen. This girl's family probably dare not offend her, so there is nothing she can do about it."

Jiang Xuan listened, but still focused on the gossip in front of him, and said, "But she didn't come here just to inquire about the situation, did she? From her look, it's probably because she wanted to take another look at Xiao Shizi before she got married. To tell my heart...why is Xiao Shizi so indifferent?"

Qi Si Fu forehead, only know that Jiang Xuan is used to wanton, but did not know that he was such a gossip: "Jiang Xuan, you are enough."

Xiao Zhi didn't care, looked at somewhere in front of him, and said calmly: "Master Jiang may not be unable to see that girl is not such a simple person."

Jiang Xuan smiled: "No matter how simple she is, she is still a bit tempted. Xiao Shizi is puzzled by the style. It's a pity for the little beauty's painstaking efforts."

This time when the reincarnation expired, I was puzzled. Could it be that the girl still has some conspiracy to succeed?Why can't I see it alone?

He asked them: "What's wrong with that girl? She's just a little girl whose marriage is controlled by her family."

Jiang Xuan put his arms around his shoulders and said leisurely, "Xiao Yuke, an ordinary little girl would never come to the God Shadow Guard, even if she likes our Commander Xiao so much."

The shadow guards are elite soldiers and secret guards under the royal family, and they are also right-hand men who handle espionage and political cases. Ordinary officials would not want to be approached by the shadow guards. The shadow guards are extremely capable and loyal to the emperor. Ordinary people would never dare to come provoking.

This girl would not come to Xiao Zhi just because of the reason of inquiring about the news and because of her one or two distractions. There must be other reasons.

After thinking about it for a while, I feel that this girl is indeed unusual, but the shy and apprehensive expression is very real. Is it really like what Jiang Xuan said, eight points of tricks, two points of temptation?For a while, I felt that the girl's mind could not be seen through.

Qi Si said: "If she is really so difficult, I wouldn't be afraid of this marriage."

Xiao Zhi didn't say much about the case involving Shen Yingwei, and Qi Si and Jiang Xuan didn't ask too much. It was just a small episode, so the team continued on their way. Now, I dare not make rash comments.

Going north along the official road, most of the time the road is easy to walk. Occasionally, when you go to a remote place, the road is rough and it is inconvenient to stay overnight. Xiao Zhi will also arrange a separate room for Qisi, and the worst is to share with the envoy. between.

Jiang Xuan was often unhappy: "Why can't I share a room with Xiao Yuke?"

Xiao Zhi glanced at him, and said in a calm voice, "Senior Jiang respects himself."

There was deep meaning in Xiao Zhi's expression. Seeing his expression, Jiang Xuan shut up very annoyed, speechless.

Qisi saw that there was something in their words. Jiang Xuan is usually not very serious, but he is a decent person, so he was very surprised: "What's wrong with Jiang Xuan?"

On the contrary, the envoy who was drinking tea at the side saw him, smiled and said, "Your Majesty Jiang has always been suave and romantic, but now he is much more stable."

Jiang Xuan looked a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the envoy to be more gossip than himself: "It's alright, alright, my lord, stop talking."

Qi Si was even more curious: "Jiang Xuan, what did you do before?"

Jiang Xuan raised his forehead: "I didn't do anything, I was young at that time...don't ask."

Qi Si looked at the envoy again, and the envoy smiled: "I heard that Jiang Shizi almost abducted the youngest son of the Jiangnan salt merchant a few years ago..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xuan quickly interrupted: "Don't talk about it, my lord, you are young and frivolous, don't mention it, don't mention it..."

It looks like a headache.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's rare appearance of being caught, Qi Si and the envoy laughed at him for a long time, and stopped asking him any more.

The journey was safe and sound, and the group arrived at Wu'an Prefecture in the northern border of the Yan Kingdom, and it was already autumn.

This is the third time that Qisi has been to Wu'an Prefecture. The first time was when he was taken out of Yan Kingdom by Duji Hubu while in a coma.

Now he leaves here with the purpose of investigating the case of his father Rui Chu. Life is like participating in business, and the situation is always changing unpredictably.

Revisiting the old place, Qisi looked at the city gate of Wu'an Prefecture in autumn. The most important customs clearance place between the country and Great Liang, from the scene before us, we can know that the trade between outside the Great Wall and inside the customs is very prosperous.

The city guard of Wu'an prefecture checked the identity documents of the emissary team, and the horses and horses continued to move forward. After walking for half a day, they saw the vastness and unruly nature of northern Xinjiang.

A group of people left Wu'an Prefecture, then left the northern border of Yan Kingdom, traveled for half a day at a leisurely pace, and arrived at Guancheng of Great Liang, Yunnei Prefecture.According to the practice of past missions, temporarily stay overnight at the Yunnei Prefecture official post to rest.

The news of their arrival in Great Liang will also be spread to Linhuang at the same time, and the King of Great Liang will know about it the next day.Qi Si told the envoys not to report to the court of Daliang with a letter about his coming to Great Liang.

Qisi's status is special, it was inappropriate not to report to the imperial court when he arrived in Daliang, but Dujihu owed him a great favor in place of Daliang, King of Daliang would not be embarrassed to say anything when he knew about it, but it saved a lot of trouble matter.

The route of this trip is the most "official", and it was the same route that Qi Si took when Xiao Zhi and the others escorted Yan Kingdom from Daliang.

Qisi moved into the Yunnei Prefecture official post again, and the furnishings in the post were still the same, recalling the last time the Shen Yingwei recorded the confession here, it was just like yesterday.

Since Qisi arrived in Wu'an Prefecture, he has raised his inner vigilance, and never forgets the purpose of this trip. For a few days, it can be said that Duji Falcon is what he is thinking about, even in his dreams, it is that guy, just like a storybook The state of lovesickness mentioned in the book, I have no appetite when eating.

Qi Si sighed secretly, love and hate to the extreme may be the same, and he adjusted secretly before calming down.

Yunnei State rested for two days, and on the second day Sisi received news from Yuan Feng. Yuan Feng was in the Hongji Sacred Tribe—that is, the family tribe he inherited from his father. He couldn't come to Qi Si temporarily, probably at It is possible to meet on the Nayar Festival.

A Sigu followed Yuan Bing to the Hongji Department, and he also brought a letter with him to express his condolences.The handwriting on the letter is like A Sigu himself, rough and rough.

Looking at A Sigu's letter, Qi Si imagined the scene where he was pestering Yuan Feng to deliver the letter together, and the way Yuan Feng frowned impatiently but nodded in agreement, and couldn't help being funny.

The mission team will first go to Linhuang, the capital city of Daliang, to pay respects to the King of Daliang at the court of Daliang, and then go to Nayar Festival to observe the ceremony together with courtiers of the royal family of Daliang.

If Qi Si followed the envoys to Linhuang, the capital of the Great Liang, it would be easy to see Duji Hubu who was beside the eldest prince, but he wanted to put aside the direct confrontation with Duji Hubu and inquire privately in Daliang for news first.

Xiao Zhi's mission on this trip was to protect Qi Si, but the identity of the commander of the God Shadow Guard is really special. If Xiao Zhi accompanied Qi Si around the territory of Great Liang, but ignored the court of Great Liang, it would be against the rules. Before leaving, Xiao Zhi was also reminded that when he arrived in Daliang, he should go to the court of Daliang together with the envoys.

So the group set off separately, Xiao Zhi and the envoy went to Linhuang, Qi Si and Jiang Xuan left the team, and went alone to the Darhan Grassland where the Nayar Festival is located.

Qisi's body has also healed, and Jiang Xuan is here, so he is not worried about safety.

The Nayar Festival is in the middle and late September. At the beginning of September, it is the season when the sky outside the Great Wall is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese return to the grass.

Autumn outside the Great Wall is short and beautiful, and winter comes early and long. In these days, merchants are more diligent in coming and going, and herdsmen are also extraordinarily busy. Let the cattle and sheep eat fatter on the golden autumn pastures, so that this winter can be at ease. .

Walking leisurely along the Kherlen River all the way to the northwest, the red evening glow spreads over the rolling grass hills, the river makes several bends, and the water surface sparkles with the light reflected by the red orange sunset glow, and the eagle circles long jittery.

From time to time, a shepherd riding a horse passed by, his robe was stained with grass clippings, his face was painted a dark and reddish background by the wind and sun in Saibei, but his eyes were bright, and his smile was full of the simplicity of the wilderness.

Qi Si and Jiang Xuan changed into Qiang costumes, with leather boots on their feet and a wide belt around their waists, making them look tall and unruly with broad shoulders and thin waist.

Both of them have a first-class appearance, and wearing the clothes outside the Great Wall also has a unique bearing. Sitting on the horseback, Jiang Xuan still looks lazy and uninhibited, while Qi Si relaxes and enjoys the scenery.

The sky hangs low on the grassland, the clouds are very close, the murmur of the Kherlen River and the deep singing of the shepherds in the distance make people enchanted.

Jiang Xuan picked up the wine bag hanging beside the saddle, raised his head and took a sip, squinted his eyes to look at the distance, then turned his head to look at Qi Si, and said, "Really go to the west first?"

Qi Si smiled and nodded.

Going to the west is the town of Gebaiyin, and the Darhan Grassland where the Nayar Festival is located is in the northeast.

These days, the Yaer Festival has not yet started, but the market in Gebaiyin is very lively. Qi Si learned that the market in Gebaiyin is very special from A Sigu's letter, so he told Jiang Xuan that he would go and have a look. .
