Perhaps because of Xiao Lingjiang's previous warning, perhaps because the right time had not yet been found, Gongji became much more stable during the rest of the journey.

It was still cold in spring, and as we walked along the way, we could see snow-capped mountains and grasslands everywhere, with occasional herdsmen’s tents dotted among them.

Colorful wind-horse flags are fixed in an orderly manner on door heads, ropes, clan pillars, and branches, floating and swaying between the earth and the sky, forming a realm that connects the earth to the sky.

They walked like this for more than a month, and after passing one or two small cities, they finally appeared in front of a majestic city.

Xiao Lingjiang was sensitive to the fact that as he got closer to the city, the atmosphere in the marriage team became more tense and cautious.

She lifted the car curtain and saw the words "Luoche City" above the city in the distance, and she felt reassured.

Luoche is the stronghold of the Nang clan of the Princess of Xifan. Now she, the princess of Zhou Dynasty who came to get married, happened to pass through this place. Didn't she just come to the door and be an eyesore and make people feel resentful?

You must know that the good relations between Zhou and Bo this time were the result of the numerous gifts and gifts offered by Xi Bo. The Prime Minister of Xibo and the Imperial Advisor went to Dazhou in person to propose marriage to the Princess of Dazhou on behalf of the King of Xibo.

Even though the King of Xibo had already had a concubine, this time he wanted something, so it was hard for him to ask the majestic Princess Zhou to take the position of concubine. Therefore, when asking for marriage, Xifan promised that the Princess of Zhou would be treated with the same courtesy as the principal concubine.

After this move, Nang's face, who was in the upright position, was inevitably a little unsightly.

Luoxue City is the only place that leads to the royal capital. Now that they are passing through it, the Nang clan may not be in trouble, and they can't blame everyone in the team for being cautious.

As for Gongji, I think it feels more like standing up. After all, he has an old grudge with the Nang family for a long time, and the current marriage cannot be without his help behind the scenes. It is impossible for the Nang family to remember him in his heart. A few strokes.

But whether it was the palace buildings built or the treatment of the concubine, in the final analysis, they were all just pretentious for Da Zhou to see.

Without the skills and means, the best ending for a foreign princess who is far away from her motherland is to live a lonely and stable life with no favor or children.

She said that since the Nang clan was focusing on her, it would be better to think about how to deal with the dominance of Tantric Buddhism in the capital.

Xiao Lingjiang lowered the curtain, listened to the creak of the carriage, and wandered into the city gate.

Not long after the carriage entered the city, they heard fast horses galloping towards them, and then there was a sound of "ha-", the horses neighed, and stopped in front of the team.

"But Da Zhou and his team are here?"

Pei You frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

The man was about twenty-six or seven years old. He sat upright on the horse, put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly: "I am Nag Motuo, the son of the city lord of Luoxue City. You must be the crown prince Pei You Pei of the Great Zhou Dynasty, right? My father I heard that the Crown Prince was escorting Princess Zhou to Luoche City, so I specially invited you two to rest in the mansion."

He said it was an invitation, but his move was obviously extremely rude.

Pei You's face turned cold: "Thank you very much, Lord Nang, for your kindness. However, there is a post station in the city where you can rest, so we won't bother you anymore."

When Motuo saw that he refused coldly, a look of displeasure suddenly appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Gongji got off the carriage and walked up: "Nephew Motuo, long time no see."

Motuo frowned slightly and reluctantly stood up and dismounted: "It has been a year since the Prime Minister passed through Luoche City on his way to Dazhou. It has indeed been a long time since we last seen." He looked at the carriage in the middle of the team. , there is a profound meaning in the words: "The Prime Minister has really taken great pains and hard work to conclude an alliance with Da Zhou and welcome back Princess Yong'an."

You must know that the reason why the king suddenly sent people to Dazhou to befriend and ask to marry the princess of Dazhou was because Gongji was speaking behind his back.

It is said that it is for the sake of peace between the two countries, but how can their Nang clan not know about the various thoughts and schemes they have mixed up in it?

Gongji pretended not to understand the sarcasm in his words and said with a smile: "We are all working for the king, how can we say it is hard work."

"In this case, since the Prime Minister and the Princess of Zhou are passing through here, Dad and I should also show our friendship as landlords." Motuo laughed and invited him again, "We are tired from the long journey, how about you come to my house to rest? "

Being in Luoxue City, Gongji was unwilling to deal with the Nang clan in his heart.

After all, according to his and Tuochi's position, one must be more careful on the territory of the Nang clan. I don’t see you, but Nadachi has never shown his face since he stepped into the boundary of Luoche City.

However, Moto and his son invited them so enthusiastically that it was not a bad idea to go.

Right now, Xiao Lingjiang is the thorn in the side of the Nang clan. If she encounters another accident during this process, it has nothing to do with him.

It is impossible to say that they can also take this opportunity to completely defeat the Nang clan. Doesn’t this mean killing two birds with one stone?

Gongji was simply happy to see it happen, but when faced with Motuo's invitation again, he could not immediately respond. Instead, he looked at Pei You in a pretentious manner: "Your Majesty, look..."

Pei You could vaguely guess what he was planning. He sneered coldly in his heart, but looked indifferent on his face: "It will be arranged by the Prime Minister."

"In that case..." Gongji chuckled, "Then we are going to come and bother you."

The stopped team continued forward and slowly entered the Nang family's mansion.

The Nang family was already a royal retainer when Xibo was first established, and the family has always been a wealthy family in Xibo.

When the previous King of Xibo was young, he appointed his uncle Nang Nang Jiale Gechu as the Prime Minister. He controlled the government for more than ten years and had great power in the government and the opposition. He made great contributions to the rapid growth of Xibo.

Even though the Tantric Buddhism became more and more dominant under the deliberate promotion of the King of Western Bo, Muchi Zanpu, and upstarts like Gongji were highly regarded, the old Nang family that believed in Bon religion had no longer lived up to its former glory. But after all, there was a royal concubine of the King of Xibo among his clan, and there were also clan members who still held important positions in the court.

The carriage slowly stopped in the mansion, and Xiao Lingjiang leaned out of the carriage with her face covered with a veil.

All the other people in the courtyard had been driven away, leaving only Nang Danajian, the leader of the Nang clan and the lord of Luoxe City, leading the men and women of the clan to greet them.

When they saw Xiao Lingjiang appear, everyone couldn't help but look curious, but it was a pity that the gauze on her face was covered so that her appearance could not be seen clearly.

Seeing her graceful and smooth movements, Danajian's eyes darkened slightly. He took a step forward, put his right palm on his chest and gave a slight salute: "Princess Yong'an."

Xiao Lingjiang also responded calmly and said: "Nang City Lord, please excuse me."

Danajian chuckled: "The princess is a distinguished guest. We haven't had time to welcome her, so how can we say we are disturbing her?"

As he spoke, he raised his hands and tapped his palms slightly, and a servant came up holding something.
