When the team returned to the royal court, it was already night.

Qin Xiao also already knew that the Great Chanyu told the messenger Mang Dui that Qin Xiao had left the royal court in advance due to an emergency, but it was difficult to tell Mang Dui about Qin Xiao's trip to the Black Forest.

Mang Duo was naturally anxious. After staying in the royal court for two days, he hurriedly led the delegation back to He Gu.

Qin Xiao knew that Mangduo would definitely make various speculations, and he might even guess that Bu Liuda was plotting to murder Qin Xiao.

The mission hurriedly returned to Hegu, naturally wanting to go back and inform Ketun of the matter.

And when Ke Dun heard the news, he must have been anxious and worried.

This journey has been fruitful and fruitful. Qin Xiao knows that what he needs to do has been done and there is no need to linger here.

Originally, during the trip to the grassland, he wanted to rush back to Liaoxi as soon as possible after meeting Ke Dun, but he didn't want to spend more than half a month passing by in the grassland.

The current situation in the Northeast is complicated. Although Gu Baiyi, Yuwen Chengchao and others are helping to handle matters, his delay in returning will naturally make them worried.

However, before returning to western Liaoning, he still had to go back to Hegu to meet Ke Dun, so that Ke Dun could feel at ease.

Qin Xiao really doesn't care much about how Buliuda Ren deals with Yuan Gaiyue.

There is no doubt that if Yuan Gaiyue falls into the hands of the Buliuda people, the Buliuda people will definitely make great use of it. After that, they will definitely negotiate with the Bohai people and put forward conditions.

However, after Qin Xiao talked with Yuan Gaiyin of Laisa, he also understood that the possibility of getting Yuan Gaiyin to agree to Bu Liudaren's harsh conditions for his concubine was extremely slim.

Bohai's wife has a lot of influence on Yuan Gaijian. This time Yuan Gaiyue became a prisoner, which is naturally Bohai's shame. After hearing the news, Yuan Gaijian must be furious, and with the doctor blowing the wind by the side,

Bohai will most likely give up Yuan Gaiyue.

Of course Yuan Gaijian did not want such a bastard to live who had brought him great shame, and the eldest wife did not want to see the existence of such a person who deliberately wanted to compete with his legitimate son Yuan Gaiwu for power.

Qin Xiao handed over Yuan Gaiyue to Bu Liuda, which was considered a great favor to Bu Liuda. As for whether Bu Liuda could use this person to gain benefits, that was not something Qin Xiao had the energy to care about.

.

However, he was very interested in Laisa Yuan Gai Yin's plan to kill his father.

He knew very well that as long as Yuan Gaiyin's plan succeeded and Yuan Gaijian was killed, huge waves would surely rise in the Bohai Sea.

Such a huge change is enough to cause huge consumption within the Bohai Sea.

The Bohai Sea, which has experienced great changes, no matter who is ultimately in power, will lose the power to continue external expansion in a short period of time. In this way, the threat to the Tang Dynasty border will be greatly alleviated.

He believed that Yeon Gae-in would secretly contact Eulji Wonban, and he also believed that Yeon Gae-in would eventually be able to convince Eulji Wonban, and the two parties would join forces to plan the assassination of Yeon Gae-geon.

Both of them had reasons to kill Yuan Gaijian, and it was natural for them to form a short-lived alliance with the same goal.

But after Yuan Gaijian's death, the alliance between the two naturally collapsed. Qin Xiao was really interested in what kind of path it would take next.

The palace of Yeongaein of Laisak was very deep and he was also an ambitious man, while behind Eulji Wonwan was King Yongzang, the leader of Balhae. Both of them wanted to control the power of Balhae. After Yeongaegun died,

, once a fight breaks out, it will definitely be bloody.

Lying in the warm tent, Qin Xiao was thinking about assassinating Yuan Gaijian, while waiting for Hongye to come.

Although it was already midnight, he believed that the red leaves would definitely come tonight.

This was indeed the case. When he was a little drowsy, Hongye finally opened the tent directly and walked in. As always, he walked to the animal hair cushion and sat down.

Qin Xiao was now used to it. He sat up and asked with a smile, "You have worked very hard these days and didn't take an early rest?"

"I saw you and Lasa together." Hongye turned around, "Why did you let him go?"

Qin Xiao knew that he was rushing downhill with Laisa Yuan Gaiyin by the Xing'an River. No one else saw him, but Hongye was very alert, so he naturally discovered it.

Naturally, he would not hide anything from Hongye, and immediately told Yuan Gaiyin's affairs in detail, including Yuan Gaiyin's life experience and the top-secret attempt to assassinate Yuan Gaiyin, telling everything he knew.

Hongye frowned and said, "This person is in such a powerful city. If he takes power, he will not be a good person."

"I understand." Qin Xiaodao, "But the biggest threat right now is Yuan Gaijian. If this person's plan succeeds, if Yuan Gaijian dies, the Bohai Sea will be in chaos."

Hongye nodded slightly and seemed not to be very interested in the affairs of Bohai. He asked, "Are you leaving soon?"

"Everything that needs to be done has been done." Qin Xiaodao said, "I will bid farewell to the Great Chanyu tomorrow!"

Hongye hummed and asked, "Going back to Liaoxi directly?"

"Go to the bones first!"

"Why go back?"

Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, but naturally it was difficult to say that he would meet with Ke Dun again. He could only say, "I need craftsmen with excellent forging skills."

"He Gu has a problem with his words." Hongye understood, "You want to find an excuse for He Gu to make things difficult for you?"

Qin Xiao nodded and said, "I need an armored cavalry, but I am short of armor. Fortunately, concentrates have been discovered on the Penglai Islands. Tianzhai has given me iron ore from several islands. I can send people to mine it. But forging

The skill of the iron armor is extraordinary and cannot be made by ordinary craftsmen."

"The Kou Nan Craftsmen are unparalleled skilled craftsmen in the world. The weapons and armors they create are indeed unparalleled." Hongye said, "It is indeed a good idea to borrow the Kou Nan Craftsmen from He Gu."

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Sister Hongye knows in her heart that everything I do now has only one purpose, which is to return to Xiling one day."

"I understand." Hongye sighed softly, "I heard that after Li Tuo in Xiling became independent, he had close contacts with the Wutuo people. There are even rumors that Li Tuo secretly recognized King Wutuo Khan as his father."

Qin Xiao clenched his fists, with a stern look on his face, and sneered, "So if we want to fight back to Xiling, we must fight against the Wutuo cavalry. Without the armored cavalry, it will be difficult to deal with it."

"The Penglai Islands are the territory of Dongji Tianzhai. It's surprising that they can give you the ore on the island." Hongye said, "But it's not difficult for you to borrow money from He Gu.

You have a close relationship with Luantan Kedun, so she will naturally agree to the conditions you propose."

Qin Xiao deliberately asked, "How does Sister Hongye know that I have a close relationship with her?"

"In full view of everyone, carrying her on your back to the memorial platform, isn't it considered intimate?" Hongye glanced sideways at Qin Xiao, and said calmly, "She named you Xiuhu and treated you with great respect. Isn't this considered intimate?"

Qin Xiao smiled and said, "Sister's information is indeed well-informed." He leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Sister Hongye, I have a close relationship with her, are you a little jealous?"

Hong Ye was startled, but then she frowned, turned to stare at Qin Xiao, and said coldly, "Are you kidding me?"

Seeing that her face looked ugly, Qin Xiao hurriedly said, "I'm just talking nonsense, don't worry about it."

"Do you feel that you are already in the Great Heaven Realm and can act unscrupulously in front of me?" Hong Ye said angrily, "Even if you are the Grand Master, I am not afraid of you."

Qin Xiao smiled awkwardly and said, "I didn't say you were afraid of me." But in his heart, he felt a trace of guilt towards Hongye.

Hongye disguised herself as Mapo in Xiling Turtle City and secretly protected herself for three years.

She lurked in Turtle City and was alone for three years. Even though she practiced martial arts every day, there was no one around her to guide her. If there were any problems in her martial arts cultivation, no one would be able to help answer them.

If he had stayed in the academy for those three years, under the guidance of his master, his martial arts cultivation would have definitely improved greatly. From a certain perspective, he had indeed wasted three years of Hongye's time.

Qin Xiao felt grateful to many people.

But whether it is gratitude or trust, Hongye must be ranked first.

"Go to bed early." Hongye stood up and said, "You have to go on a journey tomorrow to recuperate." After a pause, he added, "Take care of yourself."

Qin Xiao said hurriedly, "You want to leave?"

"Why are you staying here if you don't leave?"

"Sister Hongye, do you want to come with me to celebrate the bones?"

"Go to He Gu?" Hongye snorted coldly, "You are going to He Gu to see Ke Dun. What am I going to do? The epidemic is not over yet. There are still many people in Buliuda tribes who are suffering from the epidemic. I still have to stay."

Stay here for a while and help us make medicine to save people."

Qin Xiao felt helpless.

In fact, he is very willing to communicate more with Hongye, but Hongye is a person who only knows how to do things but not very good at talking. He often says a few words and can kill the conversation, making it impossible for people to continue chatting.

"Then when you return to Kyoto, you can pass through Liaoxi." Qin Xiaodao, "How about going to Liaoxi for a visit sometime?" Knowing that Hongye would definitely refuse without hesitation, he hurriedly added, "You know that Brother Gu also

Over there, you are all from the academy, so you can catch up on old times."

Hongye said, "You think I came out just for fun? Just take a look around. Your elder brother Gu is very busy and has many things to do. What's there to see? The old guy from the academy is still waiting for me to return to my life, so I don't have time to delay." I thought.

After a moment, he said, "You should be more careful. Mr. Da's purpose of spreading the disease in Modong this time is probably to target you and Long Ruijun. If the plan fails, he will definitely not let it go, and he will definitely make other moves next. However,

Your cultivation is not weak now, and it will not be easy for them to hurt you. Well, you just have to be more careful."

Her tone was indifferent, but she could not hide her concern. She reminded Qin Xiao repeatedly to be careful, which naturally made her feel worried.

"Then take care of yourself." Qin Xiao saw that Hongye had turned around and walked out of the tent. He felt reluctant and said softly, "When will we meet next time?"

Hongye didn't look back, but just said, "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, it's best that we never meet again. You are like a broom star. Every time I see you, nothing good happens. Please let me go. It's best not to have contact with each other until we die." As he spoke,

He has already opened his tent and gone out.

Qin Xiao stared blankly at the tent door. After a moment, he shook his head. Although he knew Hongye was joking, they would indeed bring trouble to her every time they met.
