"Laid back? What can there be to relax in the snowy grassland? Alas, that's it, I knew that back then, Dao Ye and I shouldn't have made a bad friend like your master. Friends are careless! Xuan Zhendao paused and sighed.

His face was sad, as if he was not going to the icy prairie but to the old rabbit who was peeped at by human traffickers and sold him into the fire pit.

A day later, Xu Xiangjun, who was busy preparing the goods, finally met the reluctant Xuanzhen Daoist, and the handsome little monk Jian'an who seemed to be smiling forever.

"Xiangjun has seen Xuan Zhenren and Master Jian'an." Xu Xiangjun smiled and moved lightly, and came to the two of them and bowed down.

"Hurry up and excuse me, your husband and Dao Ye and I have an equal relationship, if you bow down, then you can worship Dao Ye and I to worship the old." The Xuanzhen Daoist, who had always considered himself suave, hurriedly avoided it and waved his hand again and again.

Jian'an also hurriedly avoided it, and folded his hands together and returned the salute: "Don't be like this, this time the poor monk came over because he wanted to entrust the donor with something." ”

Xu Xiangjun beckoned to the maid to serve refreshments, looked at the two old acquaintances, and asked eagerly with his eyes. "The two of you sit down, earlier, Master Jianyin has already sent a letter, all the Xiangjun have been prepared, and they will not delay the trip of the two, but I don't know if the two of you will go to Saibei this time, can you pick up my husband?"

"I'll wait until I get to the land of Saibei first, and I can only say it when I see that kid." I could see Xu Xiangjun's eagerness, but although Daoist Xuan Zhen didn't pay attention to it, he didn't dare to pat his chest to pack the ticket.

#####

After listening to Xuanzhen's words, Xu Xiangjun's eyes darkened slightly, and his smile couldn't help but be a little reluctant: "Also, it's Xiangjun who takes it for granted." ”

"Don't worry, the master has words, the little junior brother is extremely intelligent, since he said that there is nothing to do, then there will be nothing to do. This time, the poor monk went to Saibei, firstly, on behalf of the master to explain some things to the little junior brother, and secondly, to stay by his side to protect him. Little Senior Brother Jian'an saw Xu Xiangjun's appearance and persuaded him a little unbearably.

Xu Xiangjun was also shocked, and nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your explanation, too, what kind of person my husband is, the sinister nature of Saibei is just a place where he can easily play in his eyes." ”

This time, Xu Xiangjun has prepared a lot of good things, just the golden gun does not pour pills, he has prepared a full number of hundreds of boxes, as well as cold incense pills, and top-level silk and satin, exquisite gold and silver utensils.

Seeing that Xuan Zhendao inhaled vigorously as if he had a toothache, his eyes did not blink, and they were slightly red. "I said Miss Xiangjun, there are so many good babies, you are not afraid of being robbed?"

Xuan Zhendao's greedy and obscene appearance, Xu Xiangjun couldn't help but hide his lips and snicker. "Xiangjun is a serious businessman, besides, these goods are all used to deal with the second prince of Qihu, who will make up his mind? In addition, aren't there Xuan Zhen Dao Chief, you and Master Jian'an? ”

"That's natural, there is a Taoist master and I alone, enough to reach tens of millions of people......" Xuan Zhen Dao Chang sniffed, it was very bullish, as if there were really thousands of people killed, and he was still free to disperse.

Jian An next to him couldn't help but pout, but he still decided to be too lazy to pay attention to this old bull's nose who bragged all day long and didn't play drafts.

"In addition, the two of them have to work hard all the way, Xiangjun is really unhappy in his heart, and he specially prepared some things......"

"The poor monk is an outsider, and the benefactor does not need to prepare anything for the poor monk." The little senior brother Jian'an said indifferently.

And beside him, Xuan Zhen Dao Chief's eyes lit up when he heard this. pulled the sanctimonious little brother aside, approached Xu Xiangjun, and smiled like a matchmaker who came to the door to propose marriage. "Sister Xu, don't listen to that little bald head talking nonsense, even if you are an outsider, you have to eat, you have to wear, and you have to have a house, sister, you say yes......"

Xu Xiangjun had long known his true evaluation of this Xuanzhen Daoist, and he had been mentally prepared for him to have such a performance, but at this moment, Xu Xiangjun still didn't expect that this old man would even use the title of sister for some benefits.

Xu Xiangjun smiled, quickly took a step back and shook his head. "Don't call Xiangjun like this, you are a figure of friendship between my family and my family, and Xiangjun can't afford to be this girl."

"What's this, Daoye, oh no...... Poor people are outsiders, and they have long regarded secular rituals as floating clouds. Besides, I fell in love with your family Langjun at first sight, and I talked about it on the same level, calling you a sister, who dares to say anything, Dao Ye, I picked his skin. ”

The little senior brother Jian An, who was pulled aside by Xuanzhen Dao, looked at this old man who became like a flip book with a black line, and shook his head helplessly, this old bull's nose is completely a rotten egg, which stinks, is it just to make the territory of the Tang Dynasty fresh and pleasant, so he threw him to smoke those Qihu barbarians?

"This time I traveled thousands of miles, went to the bitter cold land of Saibei, and rescued my family Langjun, Xiangjun had nothing to repay, so he could only prepare a little etiquette, and hoped that the two of them would have no worries about food and clothing along the way......" While Xu Xiangjun was speaking, Su Su girl next to her brought a package and handed it to the head of Xuanzhen Dao.

After the old man took it, the thick-skinned man opened the package on the spot, and saw a stack of silver tickets of one hundred taels inside, as well as at least two hundred taels of loose silver, and his eyes suddenly brightened like a hungry dog that had seen meat and bones. Bisheng's mouth is still polite. "Oh, I said brother and sister, you are, what are you doing, how embarrassed am I to send so many things......"

A day later, a team consisting of nearly 100 carts full of goods, two horse-drawn carriages carrying people, and 100 bodyguards left Beijing and galloped north. And Xuan Zhen Dao Chang sat in the carriage headed by the leader, heroically drinking the Lanting Wang's aging flower carving specially sent by Xu Xiangjun.

Next to him, the little brother Jian'an looked helpless, ignoring the old bull who came to persuade him to drink from time to time, and recited the scriptures by himself. There was a lot of resentment in my heart, why did the master have to invite this unobtrusive old cow nose to go to Saibei with him.

In the northern border of the country, there are a large number of merchants who have been trading with the Khihu people for a long time, but they are all complaining at the moment. Because, seeing that nearly half of the winter has passed, the Tang Dynasty military still strictly orders that no one person or one horse is allowed to cross the border, as for the reason, it is naturally because of the attack and killing of the Qihu people of Zhaoyang Princess.

If the Son of Heaven has not issued an edict, who would dare to easily allow people to trade in the grasslands? However, it is not the other border troops that really strictly abide by the will of the Son of Heaven. If it is said that Zuo Yu Lin Wei, who has always been under the command of Li Youwen, so strictly abides by the will of the Son of Heaven, this can be said.

#####

The chief officer was killed by the Qihu people, and if it weren't for the bullets of the school, these tens of thousands of arrogant soldiers might have rushed into the grassland to fight. Their reluctance to allow merchants to cross the border is indeed understandable.

However, the soldiers and horses of Cao Huer and Kirch, who are usually arrogant and domineering, and have always taken the will of the court as the wind in their ears, are also like Zuo Yu Linwei who guards Yunzhou, and the inventory of the transit is strict, and even those familiar businessmen who usually think about it are all blocked in the city.

Even if you find Cao Huer, all you get is a bunch of nonsense and perfunctory words, Cao Huer and Kirch are like Wang Ba who has eaten the scales, and they are determined to guard the border to the death, not letting go of one person or one horse, which is really strange.

However, since these fellows were black-faced and would not let them go, everyone could only wait in the hope that when spring came, they would be able to open the border and let the merchants rush to the Chihu to trade.

Xu Xiangjun also received a letter from the shopkeeper in Yunzhou, and the news about the border martial law in the letter was naturally very detailed, and in addition, the complaints of those traders and the news passed on to each other were also recorded in the letter.

Xu Xiangjun, who received the news from Duan Shaojun in secret, naturally knew very well why this brother would work so hard to block the border. Isn't it because he was afraid that General Li Youwen, who was attacked by them in partnership, was still alive, and quietly slipped into the Tang Realm.

However, when winter turns to spring, presumably, they should also know the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the princess, and at that time, the convoy they sent happened to arrive at the border of northern Cyprus.
