When Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan learned that Xie Yi had sent a letter, they were extremely excited and their eyes turned red in an instant, and almost shed tears. ▲∴,

After dismantling the letter, I saw that there was no Chinese character on the white paper, all of which were curved symbols.

"It's a secret letter, Liwan, come and read it!" Du Xijun glanced at it and handed the letter to Zheng Liwan. Before leaving, Xie Yi had specially taught them a symbol called "Pinyin".

Xie Yi said that he was the only one who knew this symbol in the Tang Dynasty, and from then on, it would become the unique secret word for the Xie family's secret communications.

The letters sent from Lingzhou were written in pinyin, which was definitely written by Xie Yi himself, and there must be a need for confidentiality.

No matter whether this letter fell into the hands of others on the road or was intercepted by the emperor, it was impossible to understand the above content and would not reveal the secret.

Zheng Liwan held the letter in her hand, read it carefully and said softly: "Sanlang is now lingering in Lingzhou, asking His Majesty for a decree and is waiting for a reply."

Du Xijun asked, "Is he okay?"

"Everything is fine, Sister Xijun, don't worry." Zheng Liwan continued to look down and said, "Sanlang has an explanation, let us pay attention and make some preparations. He seems to be looking for a companion for His Highness King Jin."

"Is that so? I'm afraid I have to do it slowly." Du Xijun trusted and obeyed Xie Yi's arrangements unconditionally. Sanlang said that there must be his reason for arranging a companion to the King of Jin's Mansion.

Zheng Liwan said: "Well, this matter must be planned seriously when he comes back from Xue Yantuo."

“Is there any more?”

Zheng Liwan pondered for a moment and said, "Sanlang asked us to be careful. Those who assassinated the prince in Leyou appeared in Lingzhou. I'm afraid there will be nightclubs in Chang'an, so let's be cautious when we go in and out."

"With Leng Madam, everything is fine, but Sanlang is in the grassland and alien land. It makes people worry!" Du Xijun looked northwest from afar, his eyes full of concern.

"Well, but Saburo said that he could handle it calmly, so we don't have to worry." Zheng Liwan immediately handed over the letter and said, "Sanburo left a few words below. Sister, take a look."

Du Xijun looked closely and saw that the last line read: aimen!

...

Staying in Lingzhou for two days, the delegation set out on its itinerary again and headed to the northwest border.

Prince Li Daozong of Jiangxia personally sent him out of the city. Among the people who saw him off, Xie Yi also saw Li Jinghuan's figure.

Perhaps it was the persuasion of Princess Li Anning of Jincheng that played a role, maybe Li Daozong himself was involved, and the prince finally woke up from the unrealistic "hostility", but when he saw Xie Yi, he was still a little unnatural. But this time he was more embarrassed and embarrassed.

Seeing the happy situation of the Prince's Mansion of Jiangxia County, Xie Yi was so envious that he couldn't help but think of his beautiful wife and sister at home.

Following Li Daozong's memorial, Xie Yi also wrote a letter home and went back, especially instructing the post station to speed up delivery, which must have been delivered to Huaiyang County Bo Mansion at this time.

Their eyes may turn red when they see it, and they may even cry! I don’t know if they are all okay? Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan will definitely do the matter of giving instructions. But Xue Yantuo is here. I don’t know when I will return. The pain of lovesickness is enduring!

...

Starting from Lingzhou, I crossed the Yellow River within a few days and entered the grassland.

A few days later, it was the so-called Tang Dynasty border. However, in fact, this was just a vacuum area with empty troops. It was difficult to have a clear border in this era, but Xue Yantuo and other grassland tribes dared and would not send troops here.

The good thing is that before officially stepping out of the frontier of the Tang Dynasty, the edict from Chang'an was sent. As expected, Li Shimin approved the suggestion of appointing Prince Xueyantuo and sent the order as quickly as possible.

This is a good thing. With this edict, Xue Yantuo can have more confidence and means to act.

However, this is also a bad thing. The edict of refusing grace will inevitably anger the Zhenzhu Khan Yinan. Before successfully dividing Xue Yantuo, if the Yinan takes the risk in anger, it is hard to say what the consequences will be.

Alas, it's really a headache!

Xie Yi had no choice but to shake his head and could only walk forward with a tough bullet.

It was the end of July and the beginning of August. The grass on the grassland had just begun to turn from green to yellow. Under the clear blue sky, the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep, and the scenery is not bad.

"The scenery of the north is vast and vast, and it is rare to see it."

"It is rare for Mr. Xie to have such interest. If all the land in the northern border are in the hands of my Tang Dynasty, I would be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery well, but now..."

Di Zhixun shook his head and said, "No matter what, it's hard to be comfortable!"

Xie Yi said: "I hope that our Tang Dynasty King Army can completely repel foreign enemies in the future and completely incorporate this place into the territory, so that we can have fun here."

"I hope that one day will come and ride a horse with my dog ​​son." Di Zhixun seemed to be quite yearning for this and was confident in the Tang Dynasty and the emperor's territory.

The delegation was cautious after entering the grassland for a long time. Sun Wukai was cautious all the way and was considered to be conscientious. But in fact, the expected threat did not appear. In the first few days, he did not encounter any soldiers or tribes at all, but only encountered a few herders every now and then.

"The rain on the grassland this year should be good. Look, how good the forage has risen, and the autumn fat of horses, cattle and sheep is good." Di Zhixun said: "The herds are mowing grass and storing the forage grass for winter. Judging from the current situation, they will definitely be able to spend the winter safely."

"This means that the grassland has sufficient food and grass, strong soldiers and horses this year, Xue Yantuo has the strength to launch a war. On the other hand, our Tang Dynasty has many disasters."

Xie Yi said helplessly: "The Tang Dynasty is already slightly inferior to the time of heaven, and the pressure on us will be too high."

"Yes!" Di Zhixun sighed lightly, quite heavy.

I walked forward like this, after walking for many days, the weather turned from cool to cold to cold, and the color of the grassland also changed from blue and yellow to withered and yellow.

The Central Plains is mostly Mid-Autumn Festival, but it is already late autumn on the grassland, especially in the morning and evening. If a north wind blows, snow may fall.

At this time, the delegation had actually entered the hinterland of Xueyantuo. There were more and more herdsmen along the way, and there were even no cavalry with swords coming and going.

But when they saw the Tang Dynasty flag, they all showed respect, at least on the surface. The tribe leaders they met came respectfully to visit the Tang Dynasty envoys, generously provided cattle and sheep for food, and then sent people to guide the delegation to the direction of the Khan tent.

Of course, at the same time, I believe that another quick horse would be sent to the Khan tent to report the news of the entry of the Tang Dynasty delegation to the Zhenzhu Khan.

I think Yi Nan has received the news now. I wonder if he is ready to welcome the angels of the country, or is waiting to give the Tang Dynasty a warning? (To be continued...)
