There is Tong County dozens of miles east of Youzhou City, which is the end point of the big ships on the Grand Canal.Going further to Youzhou City, the waterway gradually becomes shallower, and large ships with deep drafts generally park here in Tong County. If there are goods that need to be transported to the city, they are split into small boats.

As a result, Tong County's wharf is booming.It's just the beginning of spring, the ice and snow on the river have melted, and the pier is already full of people and cars, all kinds of cars and coolies shuttle goods on and off the boats.

The official ship of the Beijing-China Mission is a big ship, and it entered the official dock here for maintenance, and the missions also went ashore for a few days to repair.The journey to the north must be changed to overland travel.The city guard of Youzhou has arranged for several vehicles to unload the luggage and goods of the mission from the ship. Most of these goods are gifts to the North Kingdom.

Youzhou was the first of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun that had been captured by the northerners, and it was also the largest and strongest prefecture city.The people of the northern kingdom trampled through the gates of the city with iron hoofs, slaughtered the people, plundered gold, silver and food, and occupied the city for nearly a year.The general who abandoned the city was beheaded by the Southern Dynasty Emperor Zhao Fu, and a new commander went north.The Southern Dynasties and the Northern Kingdom fought a tug-of-war for two or three years, with each other winning and losing. When the Northern Kingdom was caught up in natural disasters, the Empress Dowager Chunyi and the new emperor had some misunderstandings, and the successor was weak, so the Northern Kingdom had to agree to withdraw its troops from the Sixteen States of Youyun.The price was for the Southern Dynasty to send the prince to the Northern Kingdom as a hostage.

When the news came back, the direct prince Zhao Wei was not yet 11 years old, but he had been the prince for five years.Although the Peng family of the later family is reluctant to give up, but the position of prince and the reputation of virtuousness have been managed for a long time, how can they hand over to others?So at the beginning of the spring of the year when he was 12 years old, Zhao Yan set off for the northern country as a hostage.Before leaving, the Holy Majesty promised that he would take the prince back to the Southern Dynasty within five years.

Now the prince has been a hostage in the North Kingdom for two years, and he has reached the age of 14. In the Central Plains, many 14-year-old children start talking about marriage, men and women get engaged, and wait to get married after the age of 16.The etiquette in the Central Plains is complicated. It usually takes a year and a half from the beginning of marriage proposal to the finalization of the marriage, and the preparation of the marriage and the preparation of the dowry may even start from the birth of the child.

As the crown prince of the Southern Dynasty, the marriage was even more sloppy.The mission of the Southern Dynasties also planned to use this to make an argument. In addition, they had sent Xing Zihui's body, sword, and Tiansi Baojia according to the request of the Northern Kingdom before. I have to speak up.Although the people of the Northern Kingdom also proposed to fully open the border trade and open sea transportation, the Southern Dynasty could not agree to it all at once, but they only tried to open the mutual market in Youzhou, and they could still talk about it.

The crown prince, Zhao Yan, is a hostage in the northern kingdom, in exchange for the peace of the northern border, the common people naturally have a good opinion of the prince, and they all look forward to His Royal Highness returning to the country as soon as possible.Now that I heard that further peace talks with the north, it is very likely that the Youzhou mutual market will be opened first, and the merchants who come from south to north are also very happy.They all hope that if the two countries are no longer at war, the border business will start, and even shipping will be opened, and they will get rich just around the corner.

Liu Guanqing and his team went ashore with the official mission, but they didn't go to the inn to stay.They found an inn with better conditions and a hot spring pool next to the post station to stay.

The two parties met briefly, and Liu Guanqing, headed by the eloquent Fang Zhizhu and assisted by Zhou Changhe, came out to socialize.As a junior, Liu Guanqing stood in a pile with the other four young people.Xie Wuyao was still dressed as a servant of the Liu family, standing a little further back.Ying Qi simply hid in the dark and did not appear on the bright side.

Their team doesn't live with the official team, because they are worried that the people of the Devil's Cult will make trouble with Liu Guanqing, so they live separately, but they are not far away, and they can take care of them.

From the perspective of the people in the North, this time the mission from the Southern Dynasty brought gifts to Shengjing, the capital of the North. The matter has not been discussed yet, but the gift will definitely be delivered.Anyway, it's a guest who came from afar and received the gift, and if there is nothing to do, just send the people from the Southern Dynasty back.If you really want to kill people to avenge Deng Tao's assassination, then the road back will not be smooth.

But in private, the Demon Cult attacked members of the Wulin League in order to avenge their personal revenge, and the people of the Northern Kingdom would definitely not care about this matter.Just like when the Southern Dynasty refused to admit that it sent people to assassinate Deng Tao, it was all blamed on Jiang Hu's grievances, and the people of the Northern Kingdom can follow suit, only saying that the Demon Cult caused chaos.

Therefore, Liu Guanqing had to keep a low profile, mingled behind the two elders, and did not mention the name of the Wulin League.The official statement to the Northlanders was also unified, saying that the mission brought rare treasures, and hired a few masters of the rivers and lakes to help watch them, so as not to be robbed by gangsters.

The envoy sent by the Southern Dynasties was Qin Lu, a senior official of the Ministry of Rites. Qin Lu had participated in the peace negotiations between the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Kingdoms and dealt with those senior officials of the Northern Kingdoms.The deputy envoy of the mission is Gong Jing, the minister of the Ministry of War, who represents some interests of the military, and also has temporary authority to mobilize the border troops.On the surface, Gong Jing is responsible for the security of the entire mission. In reality, if the two countries fail to reach an agreement and a dispute arises, Gong Jing has the authority to deploy troops, and at least he can respond in a timely manner.

There is also a core figure in the mission team, Duan Qiyan, the second general manager of the palace, Eunuch Duan. This Eunuch Duan looks to be about 30 years old, but he is already a powerful eunuch in the palace, serving him all the year round. By Jinshang's side, his status is second only to Xie Haoran.

After the meeting between the two sides, Liu Guanqing went back to the inn and asked Xie Wuyao: "That Eunuch Duan seems to know you? Uncle Fang and the others were talking to the missionary. Eunuch Duan looked at you several times. Why did the missionary Did you send these internal servants?"

Xie Wuyao leaned into Liu Guanqing's ear and explained in a low voice: "Eunuch Duan is my master's first apprentice. Back then, he was just an ordinary prince and my master was not the head of the palace. He rescued the little eunuch who had just entered the palace. Duan Gonggong. The master recognized him as a disciple to teach martial arts when he saw that he had a good foundation. The servants in the palace are also inherited from masters and apprentices. He followed my master in addition to learning the rules in the palace, and serving Jinshang together. The attainments are also quite high. The few court servants around His Royal Highness the Prince of the Northern Kingdom who know martial arts are all taught by Mr. Duan."

"Oh, how is that father-in-law's martial arts better than yours? He is ten years older than you. Since he is the first apprentice and an internal servant, it is easier to get close to the Queen Mother of the Northern Kingdom, right? Is it easier for him to succeed in assassinating than you? ?” Liu Guanqing had a whim.

"A few years ago, I competed with Eunuch Duan. Although he has cultivated a large number of masters, the affairs in the palace are complicated and involve a lot of energy. His own martial arts progress has stagnated a little. Within a hundred moves, I will definitely be able to seriously injure him. " Xie Wuyao said lightly, "I'm not the master's official disciple. Back then, Eunuch Duan was also arrogant and thought that he would win, but he was defeated by me. Naturally, he was deeply impressed by me."

"Then what is he doing?"

"Eunuch Duan was originally a few masters who have been protecting the safety of the Holy Majesty in the palace all the year round. The reason why the Holy Majesty sent him out this time is probably to bring back His Highness the Crown Prince smoothly."

"Is it all right if you're here?"

Xie Wuyao sighed softly: "In case I die during the assassination, or die from serious injuries, or are targeted by others, there will naturally be more comprehensive personnel to escort His Highness the Crown Prince. At that time, you should leave me alone, don't Let the people of the Demon Cult hurt you."

But Liu Guanqing said seriously: "If that's the case, it's fine. I don't need to worry about someone else taking care of the safety of His Royal Highness. I will definitely advance and retreat with you."

"The two seniors and those four young talents who came with you must be thinking of making meritorious deeds. They may not agree with your idea. After all, the assassination is not visible. All they can say in the future is to escort the prince back to the country. .Don't let them down too much, don't put all your mind on me."

"You do all the dirty and tiring work, no one cares about your life and death; the beauty in front of others belongs to others? You, let me tell you what to say about you!" Liu Guanqing choked with Xie Wuyao in her arms, "Wuyao, Uncle Fang Whatever they like, I will follow you. If you get hurt in the future, I will take care of you."

Xie Wuyao pretended to be disgusted and said: "Forget it, the enemy of the Demon Sect's Zuo Guardian is your Liu family, what if I get hurt by Chi Yu?"

Liu Guanqing refused to accept: "Didn't you already tell Bian Chenggang that if you protect me, he will not kill me first. At worst, you can just give him the Qingsi sword."

"If I were Bian Chenggang, if I got the sword first, I would definitely kill you. Anyway, you can't beat him. So we can't reveal that the Qingsi sword is in our hands for the time being. I can still use this to lure him."

"By the way, you will accompany me to the hot spring in a while, and I will give you the 'loincloth'."

The loincloth Liu Guanqing mentioned is the blue silk sword, but the scabbard has been re-disguised, and it looks like an ordinary thickened loincloth around the waist. In fact, the extremely narrow sword body and scabbard are hidden in it. Within the loincloth.Wearing it like this is not inconspicuous at all.When starting from Hangcheng, Liu Guanqing was wrapped around her waist, and now Liu Guanqing is going to give this thing to Xie Wuyao

"No medicine, this is what your master entrusted to you. After leaving Youzhou, it is the territory of the North Kingdom. You must have a weapon for self-defense. Don't snatch it from others and use it easily."

"Actually, I'm used to throwing away weapons when I use them..." Xie Wuyao thought that although the "loincloth" was well made, it didn't feel right for him to wear it with servant clothes.But after arriving in Youzhou, the north is much colder than the area in the south of the Yangtze River, so it is necessary to wrap another layer of robes on the outside, wrap the waist around the inner garment, and wrap the outside with two layers of clothing, which does not look awkward.He is also on the thin side, no matter how many clothes he puts on, he doesn't feel bulky, and a layer of waist wrap wraps around his waist and abdomen to keep him warm, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold.So he changed his mind and said, "Forget it, it's fine if you don't use it normally, and if you lose it, I'm afraid that the master will pick it up."

After dinner, the two went to the hot spring pool together.

This inn has several courtyards. In addition to the normal guest rooms, another courtyard has been set up with a hot spring pool.There are large open-air pools shared by several people, and private small pools in private rooms.Liu Guanqing was naturally willing to spend money, so she made a small pool and took Xie Wuyao in, not wanting others to see Xie Wuyao's body.

It is said to be a small pool, but in fact, it can also soak three or five people without being too crowded, and it is still an inner and outer room.

The outer room is well furnished, with low couch hangers, warm tea and snacks on the coffee table, where you can change clothes and rest, and you can even ask someone to give you a massage or even provide some special services.There are some people in the inn who specialize in this kind of service. Elegant guests listen to music while soaking in the hot springs, and simple and direct guests do things on the low couch, demanding a one-stop full set of services.

The guests who can spend money in the wallet room are naturally worth the money for this special service. After enjoying it on the low couch, they can also play in the hot spring pool together, which is a different experience than the general land of love and moon.

Ying Qi watched helplessly as Wu Yao was taken into a private room by Liu Guanqing, he also followed with concern, lurking on the eaves of that house.What he is worried about is naturally not Liu Guanqing's life, but Ying Qi knows exactly what is going on in this small house.Walking along the way, all kinds of shameful voices from other houses can be heard endlessly. Liu Guanqing, a well-dressed beast, dragged Wuyao in, it must not be as simple as inviting Wuyao to soak in the hot spring.

Sure enough, not long after, Ying Qi heard Wu Yao slightly forbearance panting.

After another stick of incense, Ying Qi listened to Wu Yao and said: "Mmm... please, loosen it... it's too tight."

Ying Qi was annoyed in her heart, Liu Guanqing actually tied Wu Yao to act, was she afraid that her actions would be too rough and Wu Yao would resist?Or did Liu Guanqing like this kind of tone, and Liu Guanqing was bullied like this even without medicine?

In fact, Liu Guanqing in the room was wearing that loincloth for Xie Wuyao.

The hot spring water is relatively hot, and the two of them soaked for a while without any shelter, and something happened naturally.But after all, it's not in the guest room, there are always people coming and going around, they don't dare to play too presumptuously, they end the battle early and start to get dressed very restrainedly.

Liu Guanqing volunteered to help Wu Yao wear that special waistband. At first he saw that Wu Yao's waist was thinner than his own, so he tightened the belt a little bit, so he was complained.He had no choice but to let go of the strap obediently, and adjusted it back and forth for a long time.

In the end, Xie Wuyao was all dressed up, but Liu Guanqing herself was only wearing her underwear, and her belt was not even fastened.

Xie Wuyao looked at the disheveled Liu Guanqing sitting on the low couch, his clothes were half covered, his body was damp with the deadly temptation on his beautiful muscles, he couldn't help feeling excited again, and threw Liu Guanqing to the ground Lie on the low couch, and kissed all the way from top to bottom.

Ying Qi opened the door and came in, and what he saw was the more exciting content after this scene.

Liu Guanqing propped her hands back on the low couch, and sat on her back with her legs apart, her arms open, with a look of enjoyment on her face.Xie Wuyao knelt between his legs, obediently bowing his head.The two were too close and their posture was too ambiguous.Ying Qi broke in again suddenly, Liu Guanqing was shy and nervous for a while, she was still being held there, she couldn't help it, she hurriedly pushed Xie Wuyao away but it was still too late.

Ying Qi was very distressed, but Xie Wuyao silently wiped away the suspicious liquid on his face by his lips, walked to the inner hot spring pool as if he was used to being a little calm to the point of numbness, and washed his face with water gargle.

Ying Qi knelt down on one knee, and made an excuse and said: "Liu Shaoxia, there was a suspicious person investigating near your guest room just now. My subordinates suspect that they are spies from the Devil's Cult. When we leave the border, people from the Devil's Cult may show up. "

Liu Guanqing pretended to be calm, hurriedly put on her clothes, and said with a look of annoyance that Yaxing was disturbed: "On this matter, when can you say no? Or do you want to serve this young master too? You are far worse than Wuyao, Even if I take the initiative to throw myself into my arms, my young master really doesn't like it."

"..." Ying Qi held back her anger, caught a glimpse of Wu Yao kneeling on the side of the low couch with lowered brows, and said, "Eunuch Duan just sent me a message that I will meet Wu Yao alone at three o'clock tonight. .Maybe the master has something to say, and the antidote for the next few months should be given to him by Eunuch Duan."

"Oh, I will release Wu Yao out of the house at the third watch." Liu Guanqing turned her head to look at Wu Yao again, and said coolly, "Wu Yao, you are done seeing people, come back quickly, my master is waiting for you in the quilt. "

If eyes can kill, Ying Qi has already killed Liu Guanqing several times.

Before the third watch that night, Xie Wuyao came out of Liu Guanqing's room, Ying Qi stood outside the door and pointed him in the direction of Eunuch Duan, Xie Wuyao performed lightness kung fu and flew away.

Ying Qi himself stood guard outside Liu Guanqing's house, no matter how annoyed this beast in clothes and clothes was in his heart, he dared not disobey his master's order and act as a shadow guard temporarily.He couldn't help thinking that if the people from the Demon Sect in the Northern Land Realm came to the real thing, he would wait and see, wait and take action later, and let Liu Guanqing suffer a little bit by borrowing someone else's hand.

According to the plot of the original book, although this father-in-law Duan does not hold a position in the mission, he is the supreme commander of the operation to assassinate the Queen Mother Chunyi and bring back the prince.Duan Qiyan was born in a poor family, and entered the palace at the age of five. Later, he was sheltered and taught by Xie Haoran, and climbed to a high position step by step.In Duan Qiyan's mind, Xie Haoran is absolutely irreplaceable master, benefactor and idol.In the words of modern people, Duan Qiyan is a serious fan of Xie Haoran.

Duan Qiyan's words and deeds can imitate Xie Haoran, and Xie Haoran's likes and dislikes are Duan Qiyan's likes and dislikes.In Duan Qiyan's cognition, what Xie Haoran said must be right, even if it is not right, it is someone else's fault.Duan Qiyan roughly knew all the things Xie Haoran had encountered, and he could guess the origin of Wuyao.But Xie Haoran didn't tell the truth, Duan Qiyan just pretended to be confused.But the attitude towards no medicine is also the same as that of Xie Haoran.Duan Qiyan will also hate those who hurt Xie Haoran.

Therefore, in the martial arts competition, Duan Qiyan lost to the protagonist Shou, and was hit hard.In terms of the time to learn martial arts, Duan Qiyan was more than ten years earlier than the protagonist Shou, but in terms of martial arts cultivation, he actually lost to the protagonist Shou, who was not an official disciple of Xie Haoran, how could he not be angry?

Fortunately, on this trip to the Northland, the overall situation is the most important. For the time being, Duan Qiyan will not blatantly avenge his personal revenge, but his attitude towards the protagonist has also continued Xie Haoran's old way. tentacle.

Xie Wuyao saw Duan Qiyan waiting under a big tree with a whip in his hand, the moon was dark and the wind was high and the clouds covered the starlight, making the surrounding scenery even more gloomy.

Duan Qiyan was dressed in the color of an internal servant, and entered the palace at a young age, with a more feminine figure and a high-pitched voice. When he saw Wu Yao coming, he asked coldly: "Wu Yao, I saw you by Liu Shaoxia's side today. It seems to be doing well?"

Although Xie Wuyao can gain the upper hand in martial arts, but Duan Qiyan is the commander in chief of the operation, if he wears shoes a little bit, it is hard to say whether he can come back alive after the assassination.After such a long time of practice before, Xie Wuyao believes that dealing with Xie Haoran's brainless fans must not be brave for a while.He knelt down on the ground according to the rules, maintaining the role of the protagonist, and listened to what Duan Qiyan had to say.

Unexpectedly, Duan Qiyan didn't talk about business, just waved the whip mixed with metal wire in his hand, and said fiercely: "Master told me that you still owe two hundred whips for punishment, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it once, Let me punish you several times. I thought about it, why don't you beat you twenty lashes every night, and you can finish it in ten days without delaying the mission to the Northland."
