"Tubo?" Xu Zizhen frowned. He didn't want to go that far away. Even if he couldn't go back to Xingqing Mansion now, he had to at least go back to Lanzhou first.
As a businessman, Bu Fen's strength is to observe people's emotions. He could tell what Xu Zizhen was thinking at a glance and said with a smile: "Brother, you are from the Song Dynasty, right? But you want to go back to the Song Dynasty?"
Xu Zizhen did not hide it from him: "Yes, since Uncle Bu's caravan is heading to Tubo, I will take my leave now. Uncle Bu, thank you for your help." After saying that, he walked seriously in the carriage.
After bowing, he stood up and got off the car.
Bu Fen hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, your partner's injury is not serious. Even if you can walk, he can't walk far."
Xu Zizhen was stunned and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with him?"
Bu Fen said with a smile: "I blame me for not making it clear. Brother, don't be anxious. Come with me first." After saying that, he shouted softly outside the car and the carriage stopped immediately.
Xu Zizhen was anxious. He got out of the car first and saw a long convoy in front of him. There were always as many as ten vehicles. The car he was riding in was in the middle of the convoy, which was in line with Bu Fen's identity. The convoy was now
We were walking on a wide official road, and we saw thick snow all around, as if the earth was covered with a white winter coat.
Bu Fen got out of the car and took Xu Zizhen to a car that was following him. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain. Xu Zizhen couldn't wait to get over and saw Liu Fengsui lying in the car, covered with clothes.
He was still sleeping under a thick layer of warm fur. Although his face looked a little pale, it was much better than when he was rescued yesterday.
Xu Zizhen hesitated for a moment and did not wake up Liu Fengsui for the time being. Bu Fen pulled him aside and said softly: "Your partner is seriously injured and is extremely weak. If you want to return to Song Dynasty, it will be a long journey."
He won't be able to bear it."
"This..." Xu Zizhen was extremely entangled. Empress Xiao was already preparing to fall out. Sanjuetang would take action at any time. The life and death of the Xixia Emperor had nothing to do with him, but there was also Li Luoyan involved. Li Meng was no longer here, let alone him.
Maybe Li Luoyan is in danger again.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle Bu, how long have I been asleep?"
Bu Fen said: "It didn't take long, only about an hour."
Xu Zizhen thought for a while and said: "Uncle Bu, I still want to go back. I...one of my nephews fell off a cliff and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I want to go back and search for him."
Bu Fen was stunned: "Is there still such a thing?" He pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Xu Zizhen and said with a strange expression, "I advise you not to go back."
Xu Zizhen was stunned: "What?"
Bu Fen said: "There are three portraits posted outside the gate of Xingqing Mansion. They are...you and your companion, and a young man. If you go back now, little brother, you will be in trouble."
Xu Zizhen was shocked and immediately understood that this was the work of San Juetang. The ghosts guessed that they were not dead, so they were still searching for them. But then he was confused and said: "Uncle Bu, with all due respect, since you already know
I am from Song Dynasty, so why am I willing to take this risk to save my two brothers?"
Bu Fen smiled and shook his head: "Brother, please don't worry. Although I am from Xia, my ancestors are from Song Dynasty. Besides, the person who posted the portrait is the Xiao family. Who among the Xia people knows who the Xiao family is?
When have they ever wanted to catch a bad person?"
He paused and then said: "In my opinion, it's better not to go back to Xingqing at this time. It's better for me to take you through Shunzhou first. Firstly, you can avoid the eyes and ears of the Xiao family, and secondly, it's better for you to go back to Xingqing."
It can also heal your injuries, what do you think, little brother?"
Bu Fen was always thinking about him. How could Xu Zizhen not know what was good for him? He calmed down and thought about it. The place where Li Meng fell was a cliff thousands of feet deep, and there was basically no way to survive. He went back to search at this time.
I don't know where to look. Secondly, as Bu Fen said, Liu Fengsui's injury has not healed yet, so how can he follow me across the mountains and ridges, and there are Xiao family and Sanjuetang looking for him everywhere.
He quickly thought about it and bowed deeply to Bu Fen: "Uncle Bu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness!"
Bu Fen hurriedly helped him up and said with a smile: "Although I am a businessman, it is not an exaggeration to say that I am half a person who travels all over the world. Why should such trivial matters matter? Don't be polite, little brother.
"
Just as he was talking, a soft hum suddenly came from the car. Xu Zizhen jumped up immediately, rushed to the car and lifted the curtain to look inside, only to see Liu Feng slowly waking up. He said happily: "Second brother, wake up."
Already?"
Liu Fengsui slowly opened his eyes, and had the same reaction as Xu Zizhen at that time. He was startled at first, and when he was about to sit up, he accidentally touched the wound, and couldn't help but snort.
"Don't move, don't move!" Xu Zizhen hurriedly jumped into the car and held him down, telling him where he was now and who he was and why he was there.
Liu Feng suddenly understood, then he struggled to sit up, thanked Bu Fen seriously, and asked Xu Zizhen, "Brother, what are your plans now?"
Xu Zizhen muttered: "The ghost has guessed that we are not dead. He probably notified us all the way back to Lanzhou... Let's just go all the way west to Tubo with Uncle Bu, and we will make plans then."
Looking at Bu Fen, "Uncle Bu, I wonder where you are going to Tubo? I'm not very familiar with it."
Bu Fen said with a smile: "We say we are going to Tubo, but actually we are not going into Tubo territory. From here, we go west across the Tengger Desert to Xiliang Prefecture, and not far to the southwest there is a small border town called Renduoquan. We
It was there that the Achai tribe in Tubo did business."
"Renduoquan, Achaibu..." Xu Zizhen recited these two strange names silently, and pondered for a moment. There was no point in returning to Lanzhou on the way. In the end, he might be discovered by Sanjuetang, so he might as well just go back to Lanzhou through Tubo.
Bu Fen guessed what he was thinking again and said with a smile: "Renduo Spring is located at the intersection of the Xia, Song and Tubo Kingdoms, not far from Xining Prefecture."
Xu Zizhen made a decision immediately: "Okay, then please ask Uncle Bu to bring us to Ren Duoquan."
…
Xixia Imperial Palace, Yongcheng Palace.
Empress Xiao sat by the bed with a frosty face, looking at the ghost standing not far in front of her, and said coldly: "Didn't you say they are not dead? But why can't they be found?"
Digui raised his brows and seemed a little unhappy: "Is the Queen questioning me?"
Empress Xiao hummed: "So what? It's been a whole day and night, five hundred guards, plus many of your Sanjue Hall's experts, and still no one alive or dead, no corpses. Since you took charge of this matter, who will I look for if I don't look for you?"
?”
The ghost sneered and said: "Queen, please don't forget one thing. I, the ghost, are not under your control. If I hadn't been worried that Xu Zizhen would affect my master's plans, you would have thought that I had nothing to do and wanted to come and listen."
Do you 'teach'?"
Empress Xiao raised her eyebrows, stood up abruptly, and shouted: "You dare to ridicule me?"
Suddenly a tense situation broke out between the two of them, and suddenly a faint voice rang out: "Ghost, step back."
As soon as Di Guifu heard this voice, his whole body immediately calmed down and he took a few steps back respectfully: "Yes, Master!"
Empress Xiao also seemed stunned for a moment: "Why are you here today?"
A figure walked slowly outside Yongcheng Palace and said slowly in a voice that could not hear any emotion: "Li Qianshun is prepared. Don't touch him for the time being. I still have things to do these days. Wait for me I will free my hands to help you."
Empress Xiao frowned, but did not refute after all. Instead, she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
The man finally came to Empress Xiao, revealing a mature and steady middle-aged face. He casually sat down beside Empress Xiao's bed and said calmly: "Xu Zizhen is quite weird, but it's harmless. There's no need to worry about it. If you see him in the future, it won’t be too late to take him in.”
