As soon as these words came out, Duan Xu couldn't help but look towards Xiao Lingjiang.

He had previously felt that marrying Zhou was not a wise move. According to Princess Yong'an's behavior, she would not be so willing to marry Xifan and do such a risky and disadvantageous thing.

But this was the policy of the imperial court, and he and Guo Xiaoxing could not comment much, so they could only test it out through casual chat.

Now it seems that she really has this plan?

Meeting the two people's shining eyes, Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but smile. She nodded and said bluntly: "That's indeed what I meant."

"It's just that I am in the light and the enemy is in the dark. Xifan and Shenggong don't know what tricks they are going to use. If I want to succeed, I still have to trouble you two to help me."

Guo Xiaoxing felt excited when he heard the answer he wanted.

He has been stationed at the border for many years, so he is naturally very aware of Xifan's ambitions.

Over the years, Xibo has continued to expand westward, and its troops and horses have become stronger and stronger after fighting everywhere. Xibo's ambition to expand is even greater than in the past, and it has become more coveted for the rich territory of the Zhou Dynasty.

Since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, the Western Tibetans have been invading Liangzhou continuously. More than ten years ago, they took advantage of the rebellion of the Zhou Dynasty and took the opportunity to attack the Hexi and Longyou areas and occupy the two states of Song and Sha.

How had Da Zhou ever lost such face?

After the current sage ascended the throne, he intended to regain the lost territory. However, the Western Tibetan army was fierce, and Nanzhao and Beidi were also on the side. After so many years, only [-]/[-] of the lost territory was recovered, and countless people in the Zhou Dynasty were still living in the Western Tibetans. Under his rule, he had a country but could not return.

In the past two years, Xibo's intrusions on the counties and counties around Dazhou were even more frequent. In addition to those small-scale actions, they also had the potential to launch a large-scale attack on Dazhou.

Fortunately, Nanzhao, who had secretly conspired with Xibo, failed to attack Yao City, and was caught by the Zhou Dynasty, so he turned to attack Xibo.Xifan didn't expect it, so naturally he didn't dare to make any other moves for a while, lest he end up being attacked from both sides.

As Nanzhao and Beidi gradually settled down, the Zhou Dynasty gradually became free to take over the two states of Song and Sha in one fell swoop.

At this time, Xifan took the initiative to sue for peace, using the return of Shazhou as an inducement to conclude an alliance with Zhou Dynasty, and even chose Princess Yong'an to marry.

The two states lost their territory, and only one state returned. Moreover, Princess Yong'an's contribution was great, which was of great help to the country and the people. Sending such a person to Xibo for marriage is like giving a famous general and capable minister to an enemy country. No one can just do this. promise.

But the saint just agreed.

After Guo Xiaoxing learned the news, he couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Duan Xu came to the rescue, and then he thought about Princess Yong'an Xu's plans.

It's just that Duan Xu was always cautious and refused to ask questions directly. The two of them sat here for a long time today and did a lot of Tai Chi. After all, he couldn't hold back and asked directly.

"Princess, don't worry. I will be stationed in Liangzhou for most of my life, just to prevent Zhou from losing another city. If you have a way to deal with Xifan and cut off his ambition, I will definitely cooperate with you and do your best." Let's go!" Guo Xiaoxing knelt down on his knees and said solemnly with his hands clasped in fists.

Duan Xu, who was on the side, leaned forward and said loudly: "Although I am a civil servant, my heart to protect Zhou is also sincere. I will listen to the princess's instructions!"

Xiao Lingjiang was moved when he heard this, and took two steps forward to help the two of them up with his own hands: "With the help of these two people, the prince and I will have more confidence in our profession."

Of these two people, one is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of politics. No matter what Xifan and Shenguo plan on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, she can respond in time.

Moreover, the two of them have been dealing with Xibo for many years, and they must have a deeper understanding of Xibo. When she enters Xibo in the future, with these two people supporting her, she will be able to do things more smoothly.

Now that we have been open and honest, all other communications will be much easier.

In the realm of Liangzhou, if you want to know what's happening in the dark, no one is more suitable than Guo Xiaoxing and Duan Xu to personally make arrangements.

However, the strange thing is that after most of the rest period, there was no movement at Gongji, and the shrine hidden in the darkness showed no sign of emerging.Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that they really want to wait until they enter Tibet before taking action?"

Liangzhou was the last state she passed through in the Great Zhou Dynasty on her way to Xibo.

The royal court of Xibo is located on a plateau, and the climate and water conditions are very different from those of Yingdu. It is inevitable that the entourage will not be accustomed to the climate and climate after arriving in Xibo. Before departure, the courtiers discussed with Xibo that the marriage team would rest in Liangzhou for half a month before leaving Zhou Dynasty. Fan.

Gongji readily agreed, and took the initiative to mention: "Xibo is far away from the Great Zhou Dynasty. It may be difficult for the princess to return after she leaves. We should also understand the princess's feelings of not leaving her homeland. Why not change the half moon to For January? In this way, the people accompanying you can better adapt to the northwest wind land, and the princess can also use this to adjust her mood."

Seeing how thoughtful he was, the courtiers naturally agreed.

Therefore, the period of rest in Liangzhou was changed from half a month to a month.

When Xiao Lingjiang first learned about this, he felt that Gongji would not be so kind and that he was trying to cause trouble here.

But now...

Pei You shook his head: "It's hard to say. Xifan has no good intentions, and the palace has always been treacherous. We can only be careful and guard against it."

"Being careful is a must. But..." Xiao Lingjiang winked at him, "Sometimes it's not a bad idea to take the initiative to lure the enemy."

Pei You raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and smiled helplessly: "What? Are you unable to sit still and want to go out?"

"It's not that I can't sit still. It's just that I've been here in Liangzhou for many days, but I've been bored in the governor's mansion all day long. I haven't even gone out to take a good look at the local customs of Liangzhou."

Xiao Lingjiang looked outside and said, "The sky is very nice today, how about going out for a walk? I wonder, it can really attract one or two small fish."

"You..." Pei You couldn't help but laugh, "That's you, you know that you are being stared at, and yet you dare to go out and wander around."

Xiao Lingjiang leaned forward slightly, raised his chin and pretended to be flirtatious: "Isn't it that Crown Prince Pei is here... With you here, why should I worry?"

Pei You reached out and grabbed her fingertips, holding her hand in his palm: "Ah Heng, you are really getting more and more naughty."

Xiao Lingjiang gently scratched his palm: "How about it, are you feeling itchy?"

Is it itchy...of course it is itchy...

Pei You glanced at Qingzhu and the others who had retreated far to the door, looking up at the sky, and had no choice but to clear his throat and suppress the throbbing in his heart.

The two of them left the governor's mansion without riding in a carriage, changed into simple clothes, and the secret guards were not far behind them.

Different from the elegance of Linchuan and the magnificence of Yingdu, the city of Liangzhou is simple and heavy.

Perhaps the relationship between Zhou Dynasty and Xibo has eased recently, and the city of Liangzhou is much more lively than before. In addition to the vendors calling along the street and the people passing by, there are also many businessmen from the Western Regions walking there.

Xiao Lingjiang was very happy to see him along the way.

When it was almost noon, the two of them walked out of the main street and found a quiet teahouse to have dinner.

When Fang walked downstairs, he heard a commotion and screams coming from behind.

Xiao Lingjiang's eyes narrowed and he immediately turned around to look. (End of chapter)
