Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 375 Xixia Kingdom’s Invitation to Marriage

Zhao Mu looked at Gao Mei and said, "That's not true. It's just that you have been stuck with me all day long. I'm not used to seeing you all of a sudden. But what happened in Dali City?"

Gao Mei said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the Xixia Kingdom sent a letter of credence."

"Certificate of credence?" Zhao Mu stood up after hearing this, and continued to ask, "But the Xixia Kingdom sent envoys to ask Dali if they are ready to unite with the Liao Kingdom?"

Gao Mei shook his head and said: "That's not true. It's just an invitation from Xixia Kingdom."

Hearing the words "marriage invitation", Zhao Mu was immediately relieved. He thought to himself: "Is it finally here?"

However, Zhao Mu said: "Inviting a bride? What kind of marriage?"

Gao Mei replied: "That's right. Princess Yinchuan of the Xixia Kingdom will hold a marriage recruitment meeting in Xingqing Mansion, the capital of the Xixia Kingdom, during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th this year. Princes and grandsons from various countries are invited to go to the Xixia Kingdom to accept the recruitment. Choose a consort for Princess Yinchuan.”

Zhao Mu said deliberately: "Choose a prince-in-law? I think the drunkard is not interested in drinking!"

Gao Mei exclaimed: "It's true that heroes think alike. My father said the same thing. My father said that this was Xixia Kingdom contacting other countries under the guise of recruiting relatives. I'm afraid it was also to unite Liao Kingdom to fight against Song Dynasty. After all, the Xixia Kingdom is a vassal of your Song Dynasty. If he sends an envoy to contact you openly, it will definitely arouse your Song Dynasty's vigilance, so I decided to use this method."

Zhao Mu didn't refute, just smiled.

"August 15th? It seems there is not much time left! What are Dali's plans? Do you plan to apply for the army?" Zhao Mu asked.

Gao Mei asked at this time: "What? Are you interested in going and taking a look?"

Hearing this, Gao Mei stretched out his thumb and exclaimed: "How magnificent!"

Zhao Mu said: "Of course, this is a major matter related to the family and the country. Even if Dali does not disturb this muddy water, if Xixia, Tubo, and Liao really unite, it will be a difficult matter."

If they leave in time after completing their own affairs, and then go to reinforce Hu Yanjin. Gao Mei would not have been nearly beaten to death, and Hu Yanjin would not have been captured.

Gao Mei squinted his eyes and smiled: "You are not attracted to the Yinchuan Princess of Xixia Kingdom, are you? I heard that although the Yinchuan Princess lives in seclusion and often wears a veil to show others, I heard that she is a stunning beauty!"

Zhao Mu looked at Gao Mei and said, "I want the beauty! I'm going to mess with them about their alliance!"

However, Zhao Mu Zhao Mu didn't feel that it was Duan Yu's fault. But Gao Mei himself did not obey the command and insisted on seeking death.

Gao Mei shook his head and said: "Of course I won't go. First of all, there are no men in the direct clan of Dali except Duan Yu. You can't let the princess of Xixia come to be a concubine for Dali. And my father and the others I didn’t want Dali to get into any trouble, so I politely declined the matter.”

Gao Mei really likes Zhao Mu more and more. He wants all the beauties in the country. This is what a man should do!
Zhao Mu sighed and said, "Although I am a bit embarrassed to face Brother Duan, I always have to say goodbye to him."

Zhao Mu knew that Gao Mei was talking about how she was almost hit by the collapsed sentry tower during the night attack on the Liao camp. If Zhao Mu hadn't saved her at that time, even if she didn't die, she would have been burned and disfigured.

Zhao Mu sneered and said: "Ha! What do I have to be afraid of! If I can win at the minimum cost, I don't want to pay more. My life is life, and the lives of my soldiers under the Song Dynasty are also life. They regard me as their commander-in-chief and I have to leave my hometown to fight for my country.”

Gao Mei retorted: "What's so shameless! He is a coward who can't even protect his own woman. Such a coward deserves to be cuckolded!"

"Are you afraid?" Gao Mei continued to ask.

On the contrary, if Gao Mei hadn't been a hindrance, they could have put a perfect end to the night attack on the Liao camp. It was because of her arbitrary behavior that an unplanned episode occurred.

Zhao Mu did not continue to follow her. Instead, he used Xiaoyao Yufeng when he left the door, and rode the spiritual wind towards Wuliang Mountain.

With the unique skill of Xiaoyao Yufeng, Zhao Mu can basically ignore the restrictions of the terrain and travel between mountains, rivers and rivers at will. Not long after, he had arrived at Wuliang Mountain in Dali Kingdom.

It's just that he has never been to Langhuan Paradise and spent more time searching for Langhuan Paradise.

After inquiring, he found the Wuliang Sword Sect, and then went to Jianhu Palace. He looked at the reflection cast by the immeasurable jade jade falling straight into the sky. Finally, I arrived at my original destination, the blessed land of Langhuan.

As the saying goes, winding paths lead to secluded places, and the same is true under Sword Lake. Although it is a unique place, the outside has not been taken care of all year round. At best, it has natural beauty, but at worst, it is overgrown with weeds.

Zhao Mu didn't understand why Wuyazi and his wife wanted to live in seclusion in such a damp and cold place. If he were allowed to live here, even if he was accompanied by a beautiful woman, he might not be able to stay for more than three to five months.

Zhao Mu walked deeper along the path and suddenly heard the sound of a girl playing.

Zhao Mu looked up and saw a girl playing in the water, while her clothes were placed on the shore.

Zhao Mu took a closer look through the hazy mist and found that the person was none other than Zhong Ling.

Seeing this, Zhao Mu did not get closer. After all, Zhong Ling was different from other women. Like Duan Yu, she was an optimist with no evil intentions. Although Zhao Mu coveted this kind of good girl, he couldn't bear to play with her.

Zhao Mu said, "Has Miss Zhong been here these days?"

Zhong Ling heard Zhao Mu's voice, and she immediately dived into the water. She swam behind a big rock, and then she poked her head out like a small fish.

Zhong Ling shouted: "Is it Brother Zhao?"

Zhao Mu replied: "Exactly!"

Zhong Ling replied happily: "Yes, the pill that Brother Zhao gave me is really effective. I gave it to Zuo Zimu, and Zuo Zimu really treated me with respect, without any of the fierceness before."

Zhao Mu was not in the mood to watch the little girl take a bath. He asked, "I'm here to see Brother Duan. Is Brother Duan in the cave?"

Zhong Ling replied: "Brother Duan is in the cave. Brother Zhao can go find her by himself. Ling'er still needs to take a bath. Brother Zhao can do what he wants."

Zhao Mu replied: "Thank you!" After saying that, Zhao Mu walked slowly past.

Zhong Ling, who was hiding behind the stone, swam out from behind the bluestone after seeing Zhao Mu's figure walking through the pool.

Zhao Mu stood in front of the Dongting of Langhuan Paradise and looked at the inscriptions on it. It was indeed his master's handwriting.

Then he stepped into this huge cave.

As soon as he entered Langhuan Paradise, Zhao Mu suddenly felt his eyes light up. The scenery inside this cave hall is completely different from the outside.

It turns out that Langhuan Blessed Land is a huge natural cave. The cave is filled with stones of various colors that emit glittering light, as well as colorful stalactites dripping from the top.

Yingying dim light, blessed land and cave sky, quite fairy-like. Zhao Mu also understood why his master came here to live in seclusion, and why Duan Yu liked it so much.

It's just that there is no waterfall curtain at the entrance of the cave, otherwise Zhao Mu might also like it.
