Many soldiers wearing vine armor marched in the wild, with great momentum so great that there were no birds and beasts within a radius of a hundred miles. The autumn rain fell, and the little emperor raised his handkerchief and coughed twice, looking out the carriage window with worried eyes.

The Interior Manager put a velvet coat on him and reminded him: "Your Majesty, the weather is getting colder, so you should be more careful."

The little emperor shook his head and pushed away the hand of the General Manager of the Internal Affairs and asked: "How is the epidemic in Yufang?"

"The epidemic prevention army formed by you has arrived with the imperial physician. The epidemic has improved a lot, and many people have come back to life and have been rescued."

"That's good." The little emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, your kindness is more important than the sky. You are also here to go out of the palace to inspect. Those people will definitely welcome you and celebrate your arrival."

"It was Ling Xi who taught me that I was kind and kind. I wonder if he could return to Guyun Sect at this moment." The little emperor put Ling Xi on his lips and was worried about him.

The Interior Manager smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you have only been away for a few days and you miss it so much, why not write a letter and let the servants send it."

The little emperor refused without hesitation: "He is a disciple of Guyun Sect and abides by the doctrine that cannot be hidden. He has no time to repay him for helping us before, so there is no need to cause trouble for him."

"Report!" The shouts of the Imperial Guard came in through the sound of rain: "Your Majesty, there is a messenger from the Western Regions asking for a visit!"

"The messenger of the Western Regions?" The General Manager of the Internal Affairs frowned when he heard this.

Although the Western Regions have a siege with the Ya Kingdom, they have never had much intersection. The Western Regions are located in the corner of Tianwu, Qi and Ya Kingdom, and are closest to the powerful Tianwu Empire. The two countries have constant trade and hardly interact with Qi Ya Kingdom. Therefore, although Qi Ya Kingdom is concerned about the rich real estate in the Western Regions, they are afraid of the deterrence of the Tianwu Empire and dare not do anything easily.

"Tell him to come in." The little emperor was sitting and waving his hand to order, with a bit of an emperor's smell.

Unexpectedly, a woman came in in the rain. Her clothes were wet with raindrops, and her black hair was spread on her shoulders. She saluted the little emperor according to the etiquette of the Western Regions.

"I am an envoy sent by the King of the Western Regions from the King of the King. I am so rude that I will send you a letter from the King of the King."

"Give her a blanket." Seeing the woman wet all over her body, the little emperor asked his subordinates to send her a blanket. The woman pushed the blanket away, refused the little emperor's kindness, took out a wax-plated letter and submitted it: "Please check it out."

The little emperor took the letter and read it carefully. Fortunately, the letter was coated with wax on the surface, and the handwriting was not wet by the rain. The little emperor knew about it after a few glances.

"That's the matter..." The young emperor handed the letter to the General Officer of the Internal Affairs for review and pondered: "I was in a hurry and I did not carry the seal. Besides, I had to discuss this with the ministers. The messenger might as well return to our capital first and make plans after I went south to inspect."

"Please make a decision immediately on this matter. One hundred thousand times is urgent, so you must not delay it!" The woman kowtowed and begged: "Please, this is related to the interests of the Yaguo and the Western Regions. It will be too late to be too late."

"Your Majesty, be careful in this kind of thing." The Interior General advised in a deep voice and put away the letter.

The little emperor hesitated a little. After all, he was only thirteen years old, and a child who had not grown up had any decisions about national affairs.

"Report!" A shout came from outside the carriage again: "Ling Xi is asking for a meeting!"

"In! Fast forward!" the little emperor shouted hurriedly, got up and greeted the carriage door. Ling Xi, who had just entered the carriage, almost collided with the little emperor, and hurriedly supported him and said, "Your Majesty, wait."

The woman raised her head and looked at Ling Xi in surprise, and recognized at first glance that she was the person who saved her halfway. She did not expect that the little emperor was so close to Ling Xi, almost to the point of being unprepared.

"Sit down, Ling Xi, why are you here?" the little emperor asked happily, holding his hands on his legs and changing them.

"I came here to discuss the matter about dealing with the Wang Ting." Ling Xi glanced at the woman and replied.

"Oh, she was a messenger sent from the Western Regions and wanted to ask our country for help." Seeing that Ling Xi noticed the woman, the little emperor took the initiative to explain.

"Your Majesty, it's not too late. Ling Xi traveled thousands of miles in the rain. He must be exhausted both physically and mentally. He might as well take a rest for a night and wait until the rain stops tomorrow morning before discussing."

The little emperor had no idea, listened to Ling Xi's plan: "What do you want? If it's important, just say it now."

"No, Your Majesty should have a rest earlier." Ling Xi stood up and bowed and retreated, and was taken away by a soldier. The woman also stopped talking and followed Ling Xi out with her salute, secretly remembering the location of his carriage.

Late at night, the convoy stopped temporarily to rest. Dawn was approaching and everything was silent. The rhythmic chirping of autumn cicadas, and the cold wind blew into the carriage through the window.

Ling Xi closed his eyes and meditated on the blanket. His ears moved and he heard a slight undetectable movement.

A black shadow climbed over the window at night and approached Ling Xi. The moment he reached out to Ling Xi's shoulder, Ling Xi opened his eyes and umbrellaed his hands to subdue the black shadow.

The cold sword blade was resting on the black shadow's neck, and then the woman in the Western Regions whispered in panic: "It's me!"

Ling Xi dissipated the sword in his hand, lit the candles in the car with rootless fire, and illuminated the entire carriage. The woman stood up to tidy up her messy hair and said to Ling Xi: "Senior Ling Xi, the little woman was disrespectful to you before and wanted to atone for her sins. You are here this time to talk about the royal court. The little woman has a reluctant request."

The woman paused and continued, "Senior, you may know that the Western Regions have always been multiplied and have different beliefs. Even the Ming Dynasty, who ruled the entire Western Regions, had no control over the place. According to our spies, some of the kings and princes had been bribed by the royal court and intended to rebel. However, the Tianwu Empire has rebelled everywhere in recent years and has no time to deal with our affairs. The king had no choice but to send me to Yaguo and ask the king of Yaguo to help him and eliminate the rebellion in the Western Regions."

"What's wrong with the Tianwu Empire?" Ling Xi asked in a wrong tone.

The woman was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Ling Xi to focus on this sentence and responded: "Several prefectures on the west side of the Tianwu Empire were prevalent because of the prevalence of corruption and heavy taxes, so some people colluded to revolt, gathered hundreds of thousands of troops, and occupied a state."

"Hundreds of thousands of troops..." Ling Xi was worried about Ling Yingxi's safety.

"The Tianwu Empire has 100,000 imperial guards, not to mention millions of troops from all over the country. What a storm that has been temporarily assembled by hundreds of thousands of mobs." Xiao Ling dispelled Ling Xi's idea and asked him to focus on the woman in front of him.

"You have the power of the royal court infiltrated in the Western Regions?" Ling Xi asked after he came back to his senses.

"Yes. As long as the senior agrees to persuade the king of the Ya Kingdom with me, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and I will never refuse."

"There is no need to call me senior, just Ling Xi." Ling Xi always felt that being called senior was very strange. His voice sounded that old.

"Mr. Ling Xi, you..." The woman didn't know what Ling Xi meant, so she raised her head and asked.

Ling Xi stopped teasing her and chuckled a few times, which was no better than speaking: "My purpose was to let the Yaguo deal with the royal court together. Do you think I will help you eradicate the royal court forces in the Western Regions?"

The woman was overjoyed when she heard this: "Thank you, sir. I don't know which envoy you sent from the monarch of the king, so that my family Ming would give gifts to the prince to show friendship."

"I am from Guyun Sect. You don't have to wonder, I was originally from the Tianwu Empire and haven't been back for a while."

The woman was excited and thanked her twice before she was driven out by Ling Xi.

Ling Xi looked at the gradually brighter sky outside the window and breathed out. He didn't even have time to rest tonight, and he didn't know what the result would be tomorrow.

In the morning, the little emperor had had some morning tea and was waiting for Ling Xi. Ling Xi lifted the curtain and led the women from the Western Regions to come in together, and sat opposite the little emperor.

"Ling Xi, come and sit here." The little emperor slapped the cucumber beside him and smiled, letting Ling Xi sit next to him.

Ling Xi declined: "Your Majesty, you and me have different identities. You said it was big or small in the carriage, enough for you to hear it."

The little emperor shook his eyes at the Western Regions woman beside Ling Xi. Seeing that Ling Xi was really unwilling to do so, he asked: "What did you mean by dealing with Wang Ting last night? Do you want me to send troops to join Guyun Sect?"

"That's exactly what it means."

"No problem." The little emperor agreed readily: "Prepare a pen immediately, I want to write a letter to announce the alliance with Guyun Sect."

The woman was a little dumbfounded. The little emperor had completely different attitudes towards her and Ling Xi. I don’t know what the relationship between Ling Xi and the little emperor was, but I was deeply trusted.

"There is another thing, I beg your Majesty to agree."

"You are talking about helping the Western Regions." The little emperor interrupted Ling Xi and said: "It is certainly no problem to be in alliance with Guyun Sect, but the Western Regions have always been protected by the Tianwu Empire. We rashly send troops to the Western Regions. Even if the Ming Dynasty prince agrees, we will definitely get into evil with the Tianwu Empire."

Ling Xi knew that this statement was disciplined by the General Office of the Internal Affairs, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Tianwu Empire is also an ally of the Guyun Sect, and will not be jealous of this matter."

"Take it seriously?" The last big stone of the little emperor was put down and immediately agreed, "I will write a letter to have a good talk with the Ming Zaigong. Ling Xi, since you are here, you might as well stay here for a few more days."

It was so easy to solve the errand, even if Ling Xi went back immediately, he would have nothing else to do, so he couldn't help but nod and agreed.

The woman from the Western Regions who had been by the side had not spoken, "If Lord Ling Xi is free, would you be willing to visit our Western Regions together? Ming Zai will definitely be very happy to see you."

Ling Xi did not respond. He couldn't stay here for a few days and would not miss the situation when he went back. It would be bad if he delayed his time in the Western Regions.

"I have spiritual herbs that prolong life in the Western Regions, so Lord Ling Xi won't think about it?" The woman said what Ling Xi was most worried about.

He is not worried about his life span at all times. It is a helpless move to reduce his life and improve his strength. If he can live longer, he can also spend more time with Ling Yingxi.

"really?"

"Don't worry, I dare not lie to you. This kind of spiritual herb does have the effect of increasing longevity. Ming Zaigong had taken this kind of spiritual herb. Now he is nearly four hundred years old and still looks middle-aged."

"There is indeed such spiritual herbs. However, it is only effective for people with low realms. When you break through to the realm of all things, you must refine elixirs to increase your life. Because at that time you no longer belong to the category of mortals." Xiaoling added in his mind.

Ling Xi hesitated a little and agreed to the woman.

"Let's go together in a few days." The little emperor said reluctantly: "I will send an envoy to accompany you. It would be great if you don't delay."
