Chapter 544 Shazhou
After the earthquake, the guards around Xiao Lingjiang were no better than before. It was not impossible for someone to find an opportunity to take advantage of them.

I just don’t know where this wave of assassins came from?

The envoy of the White Tiger Palace failed and was arrested. Could it be that the palace has other plans for the future?Or, just like the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was someone above the Great Zhou court who wanted to take Xiao Lingjiang's life?

The depression in Gongji's heart suddenly disappeared and he asked: "Has the news of Xiao Lingjiang's assassination spread outside?"

The attendant shook his head: "Not yet. However, if she continues to be unconscious, the news may not be kept a secret."

Gongji nodded, smoothed his short beard and said, "In that case, let's not move for now, and then wait a little longer."

If he was really seriously injured, Xiao Lingjiang would not be able to survive this time, so he would confess directly in Liangzhou.After all, not everyone can have such great luck and escape from death every time.

Even if she doesn't die this time, she is so seriously injured that she will have to stay in Liangzhou for a while longer.

Gongji is not in a hurry to join Tibet now. It would be best if Xiao Lingjiang could die in the Zhou Dynasty. This would also save Tibet a lot of trouble.

Since someone else had assassinated her, he was naturally happy to see what happened.

Gongji waited at his residence for a few more days, and then he heard that an envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty came to visit him.

This man's name was Sun Daozong, who served as a minister in the Ministry of Rites, and was the envoy who escorted Princess Xiao Lingjiang of Yong'an to Tibet for marriage.Along the way, this person was mostly in charge of Zhou's marriage team and communication with Xibo.

When Gongji saw Sun Daozong, he saw a sad look on his face.

He suppressed the joy in his heart, frowned slightly and greeted him: "Shilang Sun is here in a hurry, but do you have something important to discuss?"

Sun Daozong's face was solemn, and his brows were also furrowed: "To be fair to the Prime Minister, I do have an important matter to discuss with the Prime Minister when I come here this time."

"Oh?" Gongji extended his hand to ask Sun Daozong to sit down, and then motioned for those around him to step back, "That's what the minister said."

Sun Daozong unconsciously rubbed his eyebrows and said: "This is the date of entering Tibet... maybe it has to be postponed a little further..."

He had told Gongji about this a few days ago, and the period for entering Tibet was extended by more than a month. Now it has to be extended again. No matter how good-tempered the other party is, he will inevitably be unhappy.

It had already taken them half a year to get from Yingdu to Liangzhou. If they had to stay for another two or three months, it would probably be a year before they reached the royal court of Xibo.

Sure enough, just after saying this, Gong Ji frowned: "The two countries have good relations, and my king is even more eager to marry the princess. Previously, because he considered entering the territory of Xibo, the princess might feel unwell, so he rested in Liangzhou for a while. Month. Later, I didn’t expect that during the Liangzhou earthquake, the princess was injured again, so it was postponed for more than a month."

"Why do we have to postpone it to a later date now?"

Sun Daozong had a bitter look on his face and sighed deeply, "This is also a helpless method... To tell the truth to the Prime Minister, the princess was stabbed by thieves again two nights ago. The accompanying imperial doctor treated her for a long time before she was temporarily saved. He killed the princess, but until today, the princess has not woken up."

"I have discussed with Crown Prince Pei and the imperial physician before. With the princess's current condition, it is hard to say whether she will wake up, and it is even more difficult to recover in just one month."

He looked at Gongji with a sad face: "The Great Zhou Dynasty also wanted to have good relations with Xifan, so he responded to Xifan's request and sent Princess Yong'an to marry Xifan. Her reputation in the court and among the people is probably known. . Once something unexpected happens, it will be hard for you and me to explain."

"After being assassinated twice in a row, the princess's vitality has been severely damaged, and she must have a good life. Otherwise, even if the princess wakes up, she may not be able to support herself to the royal court of Xibo with her illness. By then, the alliance between the two countries may also be born. Many changes have occurred..." That was all he said, and Gongji naturally knew the rest.

He would be more than happy to allow Xiao Lingjiang to rush on her way while she was seriously ill, thus wasting her life.However, this method was just a thought. After all, she was the princess of the Zhou Dynasty. Neither Sun Daozong nor Pei You, who was escorting the elite soldiers, would agree.

Little did he know that this move was exactly what he wanted. Gongji was happy in his heart, but had a look of embarrassment on his face. After thinking for a long time, he sighed: "Princess, it is important to be healthy and healthy, and now this is all we can do... I only hope that the princess can be healthy as soon as possible." wake up."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Sun Daozong said goodbye and left.

As for Gongji, he was always paying attention to what was happening at Xiao Lingjiang's place.

After another three or four days, the unconscious Xiao Lingjiang finally woke up.Gongji was secretly disappointed and decided to visit Xiao Lingjiang personally to see how she was doing now.

Only when he saw the bloodless Xiao Lingjiang lying on the couch with his own eyes did Gongji realize that what Sun Daorong said was true. This assassination had indeed seriously injured Xiao Lingjiang.

So what if she has unparalleled mystical skills?After all, he is a body of flesh and blood. If he stabs his chest with a sword, he will be like a normal person, and he will lose most of his life even if he doesn't die.

Unfortunately, this sword failed to kill her.

Gongji was filled with regret and could only go back and plan carefully.

After he left, Xiao Lingjiang got up from the couch.

The makeup on her face was scary, and she deliberately weakened her anger in order to make Gongji believe that she was seriously injured.

She wants to rest, and naturally it will be inconvenient for her to show up in the future.With Qiongzhi disguised as her, and the master using mystical skills to cover it up, it was expected that it would be difficult to see the flaw when Natuochup was in front of him.

After sending Gongji away, Xiao Lingjiang stayed in seclusion for a few days to recuperate.

On this trip to the west, she specially brought the Ice Soul Green Lotus with her from Ailao Mountain in Nanzhao.It is the most treasured treasure of the Dian Kingdom. Legend has it that its petals are used as medicine. One petal can prolong life, and taking nine petals in a row can lead to eternal life.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't know whether the legend was trustworthy or not.

Ever since she retrieved the Ice Soul Green Lotus from Ailao Mountain, she has been practicing with the Green Lotus.She used the power of the Ice Soul Green Lotus to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, introduced it into her body and turned it into true essence, and then nurtured the Green Lotus.With the complementation of each other, her mystical skills became more and more sophisticated, and Qinglian's aura became stronger and stronger, and even had the potential to transform into spirits.

Now that she was injured due to backlash, she tried to use the power of Qinglian to heal her, and found that the effect was surprisingly good.

Even Chang Wuzi couldn't help but sigh when he saw your injury: "I have put a lot of effort into your injury. I thought it would take at least another month to heal. I didn't expect that this green lotus is connected with your aura and can actually help you. Recovering so quickly...it is indeed a strange thing..."

When the injury was almost healed, Xiao Lingjiang followed the plan. He and Pei You disguised themselves as merchants, took five Xuanshi with them, and drove the camel team out of Liangzhou City and all the way to Shazhou.

Shazhou is in the northwest of Liangzhou. Along the way, the wind and sand cover your face. When you open your mouth, you will feel that it is full of sand.After several days of walking quickly, through the vast Gobi Desert, we arrived at the foot of Shazhou City.

Xiao Lingjiang wiped his face covered with wind and sand, looked up at the simple and thick city in front of him, and couldn't help but squint his eyes.
