Chapter 146: An old friend visits

The sentry detective reported that a general from Rizhaoguan led his troops to Lingzhen County.

Gu Du asked Fengjiu to contact Bai Cong immediately to transfer the money. After all, his people were still too few, and there was no need to save so much money in the military camp. If the official army really came to encircle and suppress it, it would still run away if it could not be fought to the death and could not be trapped.

After receiving Tang Shuo's letter, the Military and Political Department immediately reported it to the head Shangguan Mingfeng, because this matter was too strange. Hundreds of people could not disappear out of thin air, and the bandits dared not rob the escort convoy. If it was really done by the bandits, it would have been a group of giant bandits. But if there were giant bandits, the local area should have reported it long ago.

In addition, if it is a defection, it is impossible to pull the entire convoy to rebel, which is unreasonable.

Shangguan Mingfeng came to find Chu Qin. Such a strange thing never happened before. If it weren't for a haunted person, it would have to be related to Zeguo. Nowadays, Zeguo has Gu Du and Lixia, many things cannot be argued based on the common theory.

Chu Qin went to find the high priest Zhong Qi and asked to go to Lingzhen County for investigation. Zhong Qi said, "Take Cha Xiu, he should be promoted, but he was tired of being defeated by Ju Fazheng. It is difficult for me to speak for him. If he can achieve success this time, it will be helpful."

Chu Qin replied: "Okay."

Zhong Qi said again: "Lingzhen County has only 500 troops. If it is really what you said, it is done by Zeguo, then the troops in Lingzhen County are not enough. You should wait for the day and wait for the emperor to report to you."

Chu Qin replied: "Thank you, the high priest."

Zeguo, at night, Lixia suddenly heard someone calling her name: "Lixia...Lixia..."

Li Xia sat up in shock. There was no one in the bedroom, no ghosts, and he listened with his ears and no sound.

Zedi woke up, sat up and hugged her and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Xia shook her head lightly, and Zedi said, "Learn down quickly and be careful of catching a cold."

Lixia lay down, Zedi tucked her quilt, then hugged her, and looked at her.

Li Xia frowned slightly and asked, "Why do the emperor always look at me like this?"

Zedi replied, "I am not at ease, I am afraid that one day you will disappear when I wake up."

Li Xia rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Are you suspicious of me?"

Zedi quickly defended: "How could I doubt you? I just cherish you deeply and worry about gains and losses."

Li Xia smiled and said, "Okay, go to bed quickly, cover yourself with a quilt, don't catch a cold."

Zedi took his arm back into the quilt, reached out from under the quilt, held Lixia's hand, looked at her and asked, "What's wrong with you just now? Are you shocked?"

Li Xia replied: "I heard someone calling my name in the haze."

Zedi asked, "Who is it?"

Li Xia replied, "How do I know?"

Zedi leaned closer and said, "Don't worry, the uncle of the country is brave and wise, and there will be no trouble."

Li Xia said: "It's not my brother, my voice is a bit familiar, but I can't remember who it is. OK, maybe I've had a dream, go to bed quickly."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, but lost his sleepiness. Li Xia was already thinking about Gu Du, so when Emperor Ze said that, his heart became even more confused.

Since her wedding, it has been half a year since Gu Du has not heard from him, and she is not convenient for her to ask, so she can only hold it in her heart.

"Friends to Xia...Friends to Xia..."

Li Xia suddenly opened her eyes, frightened Ze Emperor. Li Xia frowned and asked, "Why are you still looking at me?"

Zedi asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xia sat up and dressed, and replied, "It's just that someone called me, I have to go out and take a look."

Zedi also sat up and said, "I'll go with you."

Li Xia said: "Don't go, you are afraid that it is not a human being. You are afraid of the power of the palace and dare not enter. You sleep, and I will go back."

After saying that, he took off his sword and left the hall, calling out: "Where is the guard?"

Several guards ran over and Li Xia said, "Guardian, I will go out to check."

Walking out of the palace, Lixia mobilized her spiritual power and asked, "I am Lixia, who is calling me?"

"Lixia, I am Dongfang Xuan, I am outside the palace gate."

Li Xia was stunned and ran away. The palace guard behind him quickly chased after him, shouting, "Empress! Empress..."

When they arrived at the palace gate, the guards at the gate clasped their fists and called out, "Empress."

Lixia said, "Open the door, I will go out."

The lieutenant on duty said in surprise: "Empress, it's less than three o'clock yet."

Li Xia scolded, "Open the door!"

The captain didn't dare to say anything again, so he quickly ordered the door to be opened.

The palace gate opened, and Li Xia saw Dongfang Xuan, and burst into tears for a moment. She ran closer and looked at him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Dongfang Xuan bowed and said, "The foreign minister Dongfang Xuan paid homage to Queen Xia."

Li Xia said: "Don't be too polite, Brother Dongfang, you..."

Li Xia was a little choked, and Dongfang Xuan said, "Empress Xia does not have to be sad for the foreign ministers. The foreign ministers are here to discuss matters with Empress Xia. I wonder if Empress Xia can bring the foreign ministers into the palace?"

Li Xia replied: "Wait a minute, I'll get the Soul Box."

Dongfang Xuan said: "No, the sword in Xia Hou's hand can also be attached."

Lixia returned to the bedroom, and Emperor Ze sat on the edge of the bed, dressed neatly.

Li Xia asked, "Why are you getting up?"

Zedi replied, "I don't know what's wrong, I'm worried about you."

Li Xia sighed and said, "Dongfang Xuan, who saved me, came, I brought him in, he attached to my sword, I asked him to show up, don't be afraid."

"Yes." Zedi nodded and agreed.

Li Xia said, "Brother Dongfang, show up."

Dongfang Xuan appeared and saluted to Emperor Ze and said, "Foreign minister Dongfang Xuan, pay homage to Emperor Ze."

Emperor Ze said, "Sir, please come up, and after sacrificing your life to save Xia, I have no choice but to thank you. When Zeguo settles a little, I will order people to build the temple of the immortality for you."

Dongfang Xuan replied: "Thank you, Emperor Ze, but the foreign ministers are ministers of the Ling Kingdom. Please do not want to show kindness to the foreign ministers."

Li Xia said: "Emperor, Dongfang Xuan saved his concubine because of morality. If the emperor built a ancestral hall for him, it would only damage Dongfang Xuan's reputation."

Emperor Ze said, "What the Empress said is very true. I have made a mistake. Sir, don't blame me."

Li Xia said, "Your Majesty, let me take Dongfang Xuan to the side hall to talk."

Zedi looked at Lixia with reluctance. Lixia glared, and Zedi could only respond: "Go."

When he sat down at the side hall, Li Xia asked, "Does Brother Dongfang come to find me?"

Dongfang Xuan replied: "After entrusted by the Soul Lord, I will inform Empress Xia and Master Gu about important matters."

Li Xia's nose felt sore and asked, "Is the Soul Lord... okay?"

Dongfang Xuan replied: "I passed away three days ago."

Li Xia's eyes stagnated, then she burst into tears and raised her hand to cover her face.

Dongfang Xuan said: "The Queen of Xia Dynasty is sad. Now you are the queen of Ze Kingdom. If you know the soul master underground, you will be relieved."

Li Xia was sobbing hard that she could not speak. Dongfang Xuan waited for her for a while and asked softly: "But Gu Du has let you down?"

Li Xia quickly wiped her tears and replied softly: "No, brother treats me as usual, this matter is long..."
