Chapter 333 Departure
"I've only been back for a few days and I'm about to go out again. Your Majesty can't order people like this, right?" Qingyi heard that Luo Xing was going to be the greeting envoy and had to go to Lingzhou. The boss was unwilling.

The wedding day has been set, it will be fifteen days later.

The original preparation time was tight enough. Although they had already prepared some items before, when Luo Xing was on a business trip, many things could not be decided until he came back.

This trip back and forth takes at least ten days. Once delayed, the wedding may not be in time.

How could Qingyi not have any resentment? It was the biggest event in her life.

"Don't worry, I will try my best to come back." Luo Xing also understood Qingyi's dissatisfaction, but he knew that even if he refused, it would probably be useless.

It is better to go and return quickly. If the trip is on time, it will still be possible.

"You make the decision regarding matters at home. If you can't make up your mind, go to the master and mistresses to discuss it. You can also ask Marquis Ye for advice. They are all experienced."

This time Luo Xing goes to Lingzhou, he must not take Qingyi with him. First of all, Qingyi is from the Intelligence Department. Although she is borrowed from the Special Investigation Division, he has no right to ask her to follow him. Besides, preparing for marriage cannot be done alone. None remain.

The Special Investigation Division is busy right now, and he can't redeploy too many people, so he can only borrow people from other departments.

The Fire Department of Jing'an Division is pretty good. They have experience in cooperation once, and some of the people who went to Funiu Mountain with Qingyi, Ye Liuli and the others last time can also be transferred there.

Nanya will definitely not miss the opportunity to touch Xirong and the fourth prince this time. The Intelligence Department and the General Staff Department must arrange people.

Luo Xing would not stand in the way of this work involving Nanya. As for the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple, they were appointed by Emperor Yongxi and he had no right to interfere.

After explaining it to Qingyi, he went directly to Sansi Hall to see the Governor Zhuo Chunfeng.

"Grand Governor, I need to be young and stable, preferably around 30 years old, male." Luo Xing leaned over and said respectfully.

"Why men?"

"There is a man named Yulus in the fourth prince's envoy. He practices Huanxi Zen and is a monk at Liuli Temple."

"Well, I understand. I will immediately ask the Intelligence and Staff Departments to find suitable candidates." Zhuo Chunfeng understood, "Have you selected the person on your side?"

"On Xiaguan's side, except for General Tie Niulang, no one else will be brought with me. In addition, Xiaguan plans to transfer a school from the Fire Department of Jing'an Division to accompany me." Luo Xing said.

"Well, the Investigation Department is busy with affairs. I actually don't want you to go, but the emperor's order is difficult. I have no choice but to make you have a hard time." Zhuo Chunfeng nodded.

"I will explain the next work to Mr. Wang before I leave."

"Well, Wang Miao is stable and considerate. When you are away, he will take care of the house for you. You two are a good pairing." Zhuo Chunfeng said.

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief."

"You are pressed for time, hurry up and get ready, don't delay the departure time."

"Yes, the subordinate retire."

……

Xirong sent envoys to the hospital.

"What, this time the people sent by Zhou Dynasty to welcome the fourth prince to the capital are actually people from Nanya?" Shang Chen and Prime Minister Zuo Alehai were a little surprised when they heard the news.

"Yes, this is the only news that can be found now. As for who it is, I don't know yet." Qionghua, wrapped in black clothes, said.

"We are setting off tomorrow, but we don't know who they are sending to welcome us. How can we prepare for this?"

"What are you preparing for? The fourth prince is scouting the way for His Majesty the Wolf Lord. It doesn't matter who the messenger is. What matters is how he does it." Alehai said.

"But Lord Alhai, we don't even know who the other party is, how can we know what he will do?" Shang Chen asked.

"It's just a welcome envoy. We don't need to spend much time on him. The focus is to do a good job in welcoming His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will definitely stay in the Envoy's Court in Luojing. We must make the most of the Envoy's Court. Clean up the good yard." Alehai said calmly, "Shang Chen, this time you will go to Tianlang Pass with you, and your true identity will stay in Luojing."

"Shang Chen takes the order." Shang Chen said.

"You bring a team of wolf riders there. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince's team should not exceed 500 people. After entering Tianlang Pass, the safety will be handed over to Da Zhou, but we cannot take it lightly. We must ensure the safety of His Highness the Fourth Prince. The first priority!" Alehai solemnly ordered.

……

At night, go home.

After touching each other to death, Qingyi hugged Luo Xing tightly like an octopus and said in his ear: "Let sister Hongying accompany you."

"Why, are you worried about my safety, or don't trust me?" Luo Xingxiao asked.

"After all, you used to be an undercover agent in the Xirong Mission. They must hate you deeply. What if they have murderous intentions towards you? Sister Hongying came from the Puppet Shadow Hall and is familiar with and understands them. I will follow you. , even if I don’t have to protect you, I can still take care of your food and daily life." Qingyi said.

"Zhuo Chunfeng and I were looking for someone, and we made it clear that we didn't want a girl, but you asked me to bring Hongying with me. Isn't this too inappropriate?"

"Don't you want to take Qin Hongtiao? It's more convenient for you to let Hongying follow you, isn't it?" Qingyi said again.Luo Xing thought about it and realized that this was really a problem. Qin Hongtiao was engaged to the fourth prince Ye Kai. She was a woman traveling with them. She was surrounded by men. She didn't bring her maid with her. It was always a bad idea to do something like this. of.

If you bring a red shadow, things will be much easier to handle.

"But this time Shang Chen also followed. If Hong Ying followed, wouldn't he recognize it at a glance?" Luo Xing said.

"Let Hong Ying disguise herself a little bit, disguise herself as a man, and even if Shang Chen recognizes him, so what, it's not a secret anyway." Qingyi said, "Hong Ying was abandoned by them, and it's not like Hong Ying took the initiative to betray them. of."

"It doesn't matter between the two of us. What does Hongying mean? I don't want her to be in trouble," Luo Xing said.

"No wonder Hongying girl is so devoted to you. If you put yourself in her shoes like this, any woman would fall." Qingyi rolled her eyes at him.

"Then have you fallen?"

"When did you take down the red shadow girl? I think you said it was good, but you didn't take any action..." Qingyi said after looking around.

"Husband, I'd better feed you first and then..."

"I'm going to die. It's less than an hour until dawn. Why don't you sleep for a while?"

"It's okay, nothing happened on the way, I have plenty of time to sleep..."

……

South gate.

Luo Xing led the Tiqi of the First School of Nanya, and the accompanying Qin Hongtiao and others had been waiting for less than half an hour. Hong Ying, wearing Tiqi clothes, stood behind Luo Xing and held the horse for her.

Qin Hongtiao is also dressed in military uniform, and her feminine softness and fortitude are integrated into her body, which is very eye-catching.

Because he had to return to Tianlang Pass in Lingzhou, Emperor Yongxi allowed him to enter the enshrinement courtyard to meet with the Fourth Prince Ye Kai. The two stayed for nearly an hour before coming out.

A carriage arrived belatedly, bearing the logo of the Ministry of Rites.

This should be the arrival of officials from the Ministry of Etiquette.

"Lu Qiao, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is here to see the Marquis." The doctor of the Ministry of Hubu, a seventh-rank official, naturally had to bow and pay homage to Luo Xing when he saw him.

"Mr. Lu is exempt from etiquette." Officials from the Ministry of Rites were responsible for court etiquette and rules. Along the way, he had to ask for advice and study seriously.

Next came a protocol officer from Honglu Temple, also a seventh-grade man. He came with a guard of honor. After all, he was a prince of a kingdom and needed to be greeted according to certain rules, otherwise he would lose the dignity of a great nation.

Only the representatives from the Xirong Envoy Court who accompanied him to Lingzhou to greet him were left.

The agreed time was at the beginning of the hour, and it was almost the end of the hour. The Xirong man was so unpunctual, and Luo Xing was also very angry.

If there is a delay on the way and your fourth prince arrives first, but the court's welcoming envoy does not arrive, then it will be a discourtesy of the Zhou court.

"Master Hou, why don't you wait any longer?"

"Wait a minute, I hate unpunctual people the most. They are late. How long should we wait? Get on the horse and set off!" Luo Xing did not spoil the other party. They just accompanied him to greet him, and the whole body was Master, never be rude.

Following Luo Xing's order, everyone mounted their horses, and the team passed directly through the city gate, stepped onto the official road, and headed towards Lingzhou.

After Luo Xing led his team away, a long time later, Shang Chen led a team of wolf riders and slowly came over. He thought that the welcoming team would be waiting for them at the city gate.

As a result, there was no one at the city gate. After asking, I found out that they had left the city long ago.

This made Shang Chen very angry, but he was indeed late, more than an hour later than the meeting time. He couldn't wait any longer and left first. There was nothing wrong with that.

This road is an official road. Although it is cold and freezing, there are already ruts on the road, so it is still relatively easy to walk, but the speed is a little slower than usual.

When traveling in the winter, the physical exertion of the horses more than doubles. They need to rest every two hours, feed and drink water, and replenish their physical strength.

During the rest time, Luo Xing also needed to consult officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to learn and master the etiquette and etiquette for receiving foreign guests, and not to be criticized.

In addition to his own, he also had to learn the customs and habits of Xirong. Luo Xing had already mastered this. Even if he didn't understand something, he could ask Hongying directly.

Although these are red tape, they are necessary.

After walking for more than half a day, we arrived at Taipingdu on the bank of Luoshu River. On the other side is Shuozhou. Then we have to pass through Shuozhou and turn northwest. After walking for about three days, we can reach Lingzhou City, and we have to go to Tianlang Pass. One more day of walking.

If everything goes well, they will arrive at Tianlang Pass exactly five days later, probably at the same time as the team of the Fourth Prince of Xirong.

If things don't go well, it's hard to say. For example, if you encounter a snowstorm on the road, such extreme weather will naturally make it impossible to go on the road.

It's fine at night, but it's terrible during the day.

 Keep asking for a double monthly ticket!
