Chapter 534
Even Xiao Lingjiang could not help but feel a little tired after days of eating and sleeping in the open. After a good night's rest, she felt that all the fatigue in her body had been swept away and she felt refreshed.

In Liangzhou, even the morning wind is a bit dry and dusty.

Xiao Lingjiang picked up his sword and found an open space to exchange a few moves with Pei You.The two swords clashed, and they had a great time sparring in the light of swords and shadows.

I haven't done anything for a long time. After this, my muscles and bones felt a little more relaxed.She took the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her temples, then went into the flower hall to eat with Pei You.

After breakfast, the two of them each brewed a bowl of Three Treasures Tea. However, the water in the bowl had not yet reached the bottom. Qingzhu came over and reported: "Princess, Crown Prince, Duan Jishishi and Liangzhou Governor Guo Xiaoxing are asking for an audience."

"Oh?" Xiao Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei You with a smile, "I haven't gone to see them yet. Unexpectedly, they came first."

Pei You also smiled when he heard this: "I just don't know if these two people are really as good as the information sent by the secret agents."

They had already sent people to investigate Duan Xu, the governor of Liangzhou, and Guo Xiaoxing, the governor.

The former is in charge of politics, and is tactful, shrewd and capable. Although he is not a man of integrity, he can be regarded as honest and loyal; the latter is in charge of the army, has been on the battlefield and is brave and good at fighting. Liangzhou can still be safe despite the invasion of Xibo and other tribes in the Western Regions. His merits It’s a must.

However, hearing is not as good as seeing. You still have to get along with each other in person to know how the two of them are.

"Then just invite people in and take a look." Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and motioned to Qingzhu to invite people in.

Not long after, I saw Qingzhu leading two men into the flower hall.

The middle-aged man in green and yellow clothes on the left is Duan Xu, whom he met yesterday, so the man on the right in civilian clothes must be Guo Xiaoxing, the governor of Liangzhou.

I saw that he was about forty years old, eight feet tall, tall and mighty, wearing a military commander's armor, and there was a chilling aura on the battlefield in his steps.

As he got closer, Xiao Lingjiang noticed that his eyebrows were much deeper than those of ordinary Zhou people, and his pupils were also a little dark green.

Yes... Guo Xiaoxing has Hu blood.

It is said that his mother, Hu Ji, was kidnapped by the Western Tibetan soldiers when she came to Zhou for business with her father. Fortunately, she was rescued by a soldier who was stationed in Liangzhou at the time, and she was saved from being ruined.

That soldier was Guo Xiaoxing's father.

The two later fell in love and got married.

It's a pity that when the Western Tibet invaded Liangzhou and the war raged, Guo Xiaoxing's father shed blood on the battlefield to defend Liangzhou and protect the people, leaving the woman alone to raise the child.

Even with the support from the court, it is not easy for orphans and widowers to survive in Liangzhou City.Guo Xiaoxing joined the army when he was a teenager, and grew from a small gang leader to a general who is stationed on one side today.

Both father and son guarded Liangzhou.

Xiao Lingjiang also knew him better.

"Greetings to the princess!" The two of them stepped forward and bowed, seeing that Pei You was here so early in the morning. Although they had doubts, they did not show it, "Prince Pei."

Pei You nodded slightly when he heard this.

Xiao Lingjiang raised his hand and used his profound strength to gently lift their wrists: "You two don't need to be polite."

This skill alone cannot be underestimated.

Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing looked at each other, straightened up and said with a smile: "Princess, please forgive me. Governor Guo led his troops on inspection yesterday, so he didn't greet the princess in person. No, after hearing that the princess had arrived in Liangzhou, he stayed overnight After I came back, I didn’t have time to change my clothes, so I hurriedly came to see the princess.”

Guo Xiaoxing also handed over his hand: "Princess, please forgive me."

Xiao Lingjiang smiled when he heard this: "What did you two say? Patrolling the border is a big deal. If it is delayed because of me alone, it will make me panic."

She raised her hand and signaled: "You two, please take a seat." Seeing the two of them sitting down, Qiongzhi quickly stepped forward to pour tea for them.

Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing drank tea while chatting with Xiao Lingjiang and the others about their experiences from Yingdu.

After the water in the pot had been refilled, the two of them still didn't say goodbye.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but feel happy. These two people made it clear that they were not just here to meet her.

From what I saw and heard along the way, to talking about her past deeds, and talking about the court in Yingdu, she clearly had other plans in mind, but she kept looking around and talking about other things.

After drinking so much water, the two of them didn't feel anxious?Thanks to these two being able to sit still.

She put down the tea cup and brushed her sleeves: "We talked a lot. You two have some government affairs to deal with. If it's nothing else, I won't waste your time here."

As she said that, she pointed to the teapot on the table with a smile: "This tea, two pots are enough for today. If I drink any more, I won't be able to bear it..."

It was originally a joke, but Duan Xu and Guo Xiaoxing couldn't help but blush when they heard this.

Come to think of it, Princess Yong'an also saw that their trip was not pure.However, both sides were testing each other, but no one took the initiative to expose it.

Now that she had exposed it, Duan Xu only felt embarrassed for a moment, then stood up with a smile: "I have been harassing the princess for a long time, so I will leave first..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Xiaoxing raised his hand and asked, "I have heard about the princess's deeds in the past. After meeting and chatting with her today, I know that the princess's mind, vision, and means are all extraordinary."

"I would like to ask you boldly, is this marriage to Tibet really the princess's invitation?"

Xiao Lingjiang did not hide it from him, and said honestly: "The marriage was not what I wanted before, but the covenant has been established, so it is not impossible to come here."

Guo Xiaoxing frowned: "Although the general has lived in the northwest border for a long time, he has also heard about the disasters in the shrine and is more aware of the ambitions of Western Tibet. The peace treaty cannot satisfy the ambition of Western Tibet, but it only gives the enemy a chance to recuperate."

"Since the princess can kill the divine palace, save Yao City, and quell the famine, she should know that she is a big worry for the divine palace and Xibo. You have always been smart, but you don't know that this trip is definitely dangerous?"

Xiao Lingjiang sighed: "I know it."

"Since you know it, why do you come here knowing it?" Guo Xiaoxing frowned more and more.

A wise man will never be in danger, and a son of rich wealth will never sit in a dangerous place.

Princess Yong'an's move really played into the enemy's hands.

She looked at Guo Xiaoxing's brows that were almost locked together and asked: "The Governor is fighting on the battlefield, with flashes of swords and shadows, and murderous intent everywhere. Every step can lead to death, so why do you stick to this place?"

Why?

Naturally, it was to protect the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty and to protect the people of Liangzhou.

For the soldiers who rush to the battlefield, only by putting themselves in the danger of death can they gain life for the people, and only by putting themselves in the place of death can they win victory for the country.

What about her?

Why did the majestic princess and unparalleled scholar of the same country have to face numerous murderous intentions and travel thousands of miles to a foreign land?
Guo Xiaoxing was shocked: "The princess wants to take advantage of the marriage to go deep into the hinterland of Xibo and disrupt the situation in Xibo?"

In this way, there will be no need to fear wolves, tigers and leopards, and the people and the country will naturally be safe.
