The people of Kaifeng Mansion went to Nan'an Temple to inquire about a lot of news about the Sand Demon Clan, and combined with the life experience of Zou Liang that Zhao Pu inquired about from the old General Ouyang, they pieced together and roughly outlined the original appearance of some of the grievances of the year.
As a result, even Lord Bao, who is not very gossipy, is a little worried about Lin Yehuo and Zou Liang.
If this matter is not clear, the two young people will probably be strangers from now on.
But even if it is really found, there are two possibilities, one is that the grievances are deeper, and the other is that the grievances are resolved.
Fortunately, the year in the Demon Palace was quite good, everyone rested well and was full of energy, and they all packed up their things and prepared to go west.
There are a lot of things to take care of before the trip, Gongsun has always been the busiest, and the palace ministers of Kaifeng Mansion have been waiting for him for half a year, but they have caught someone, so they hurriedly asked for a consultation at home.
The little fourth son is also very busy, for a while he was caught in the palace to accompany the queen mother, and for a while he was taken to the Nine Princes' Mansion to accompany the imperial concubine, just returned to Kaifeng Mansion and was caught by the kitchen lady and the maids, and then all kinds of aunts and mothers-in-law rushed to hug, and when he was snatched back by Gongsun, there was a long convoy at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and everyone was loading luggage on the car.
The people passing by are all talking, and the people in Kaifeng Mansion are too busy, and they just came back and have to go out again Zhan Zhao looked at the kitchen lady stuffing food into the car, and was very curious, "Auntie, why do you put so much food?"
"Aren't you going to go to the desert Gobi" The kitchen lady was quite serious, "I made a lot of sausages and nests, these will not be bad for a long time, you also know that you are a road idiot, in case you get lost in the desert, you can survive for a few days." ” The corners of Zhanzhao's mouth twitched, and he couldn't look at the kitchen lady with a smile, "Good luck, auntie" The kitchen lady covered her mouth and smiled and went in.
Zhan Zhao saw that everything was almost loaded, and the others were also ready to go, so he turned around and went into Kaifeng, ready to see what else to bring.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Xiao Sizi sitting on the threshold with his chin in his hands, in a daze.
Zhan Zhao looked in the direction that Xiao Sizi was looking at, and seemed to be staring at the upper horse stone at the door, so he walked over and squatted next to him to look at him.
Xiao Sizi has been in this stupid state for the past few days.
Zhan Zhao stared at him for a while, and when he saw that he didn't come back to his senses, he stretched out his finger and poked him in the belly.
Xiao Sizi turned his face to look at him, and touched his belly by the way.
Zhan Zhao squinted his eyes and asked him, "Little Fourth Son, what do you want?"
Xiao Sizi blinked again and asked, "Maomao, did Xiao Linzi and Zou Zou pick it up?"
Zhan Zhao was stunned and nodded.
Xiao Sizi pointed to himself, "I also picked it up." ” "Uh" Zhanzhao opened his mouth.
Xiao Sizi tilted his head and asked, "Xiao Linzi and Zou Zou are not good, is it because Zou Zou's father and mother may be because Xiao Linzi's father died or Xiao Linzi's father died because of Zou Zou's father or their father and mother died because of the other party's father and mother."
The little fourth son crackled and said a long list of words, but the little guy who seemed to be right was still quite logical.
Zhanzhao continued to open his mouth, "uh" Xiao Sizi then asked, "Xiao Linzi and Zou Zou were picked up, not because their father didn't want them, but because their father and mother died, and the little fourth son was also picked up, is it not that my father and mother don't want me anymore, but they died."
"Uh" Zhanzhao then opened his mouth.
Xiao Sizi continued to ask, "When Xiao Sizi was just born, his father and mother must have only been in their twenties and at most thirty years old, how could they all die, were they killed by someone?"
"Uh" Zhanzhao opened his mouth and stammered, feeling that his mouth was so stupid for the first time.
"In addition to his father, do the little fourth son's family have relatives" The little fourth son looked at Zhanzhao with watery eyes, "Are they all killed?"
"Uh" Zhanzhao feels that he can't speak anymore, what should I do After all, the fourth son is only five years old, and he has no concept of hatred, but suddenly giving him the idea that his biological father and mother were killed by someone will really make him sad for a while.
At this time, a person behind him walked up and reached out to pick up the little fourth son.
Zhan Zhao looked up, and saw Gongsun sitting on the threshold with the little fourth son in his arms, followed by the worried Zhao Pu, and Bai Yutang on the side also looked at this side, obviously hearing the words of the little fourth son.
"Your biological father and mother did die, but they all died of illness."
Gongsun Dao.
The little fourth son looked up at Gongsun with his face, "Really?"
"Hmm" Gongsun nodded, "Your village has got the plague, many people have died, your mother can't raise you after you were born, and she is afraid that you will be infected with the plague, so she put it by the well when she died."
Xiao Sizi touched his chin, "Oh" Everyone glanced at each other, didn't Gongsun know who the father and mother of the fourth son were Gongsun pinched the face of the little fourth son and said, "Your father and mother are fine, but the plague can't help it, they can hurt you." ” "That's it," the little fourth son was obviously sad.
Gongsun poked him, "It's okay, we have to pass by the one who picked up your well when we go to the west this time, you go and put incense on your father and mother." ” "Hmm," the little fourth son nodded.
"Don't you still have my father, and Zhao Pu, the candidate," Gongsun rubbed the face of the little fourth son, "It doesn't matter, your father and mother have been reincarnated, and there are also fathers and mothers who love them." ” Xiao Sizi nodded, "Really?"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, didn't Gongsun believe in reincarnation the most.
"Of course" Gongsun patted his butt and "laughed" "Hmm" The fourth son was obviously in a much better mood, and smiled at Gongsun.
Gongsun nodded, patted his butt and handed it to Chen Xing'er, "Go get some snacks, we're on our way." ” The little fourth son obediently ran away with Chen Xing'er, and the gloomy gloom on his face disappeared.
Gongsun stood up and patted the hem of his clothes, and when he looked up, he saw that everyone else was looking at him.
Gongsun raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Pu hugged his arms, "Don't you lie to him?"
Gongsun replied confidently, "Yes, a cub of this age is used to deceive." ” Zhao Pu couldn't cry or laugh, "Maybe his father and mother were really killed." ” "So what," Gongsun pouted, "you can deceive you until you can be deceived, and it's best not to know for the rest of your life." ” While speaking, the little fourth son came out with a big bag of snacks, and returned to his original smiling ball, "Daddy" "Alas," Gongsun promised, so that everyone could hear the sweetness.
Holding his son into the carriage, Gongsun looked back and glanced at everyone warningly, which meant that no one was allowed to tell him Everyone nodded obediently, who would dare Yin Hou and Tianzun watched from behind.
Yin Hou smiled, "Gongsun's father is really good." ” Tianzun also nodded, "Yes, Gongsun is much more like an adult than a few of them in terms of mental age." ” Zhan Zhao and the others silently looked back at Tianzun.

Master Bao came out of the yamen with a smile and said, "Mr. is indeed a rare talent. ” When everyone was about to get into the car, Pang Yu came running with a salute.
Bao Yan saw him in the carriage and was puzzled, "Didn't your father go this time, didn't you stay at home with him?"
Pang Yu climbed into the car, "My father won't go, I'll go, you're all gone, I'm so bored in Kaifeng alone" while saying, while letting Bao Yan sit over, he squeezed next to him, "My sister said, if your mother is bored in Kaifeng alone, go to the palace to stay with her, she likes to chat with your mother." ” Bao Yan nodded.
Zhanzhao turned over and asked Bao Zheng, who was about to get into the car, "My lord, this time the master will not go" Master Bao nodded and said, "The emperor asked him to stay in the palace, it seems that he has something to do, and this time another person will go with us." ” Everyone was stunned, "Who?"
"Let's go to the front and pick him up."
Master Bao pointed ahead and ordered the team to set off.
The patrol team walked to the Eight Princes' Mansion, and saw that in front of the palace, Doro with five hundred elite soldiers and a few carriages were waiting there.
Lord Bao ordered to stop, and in the palace, the eighth prince walked out, dressed in civilian clothes, and got into Bao Zheng's carriage.
Zhao Pu was surprised, ran to the side of the car and lifted the curtain, "Starling, you go with us" The eighth prince sat in the carriage, hugged the little fourth son with his hand, and nodded, "Yes, I haven't been to Black Wind City for a long time." ” Zhao Pu seemed to be a little worried, "We're in a hurry, your body can stand it" The eighth prince raised his eyebrows, "Your starling brother and I are also a prince of Rongma." ” The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart, you are a fart, you look at your weak scholar and the nerd have a fight Gongsun squinted his eyes and slanted Zhao Pu, "Do you want to say anything useless and a scholar?"
"No" Zhao Pu hurriedly shook his head, fished out the little fourth son, put it on the back of the black owl, kicked the horse's buttocks, and waved his hand to everyone in front of him, "Go on the road" The patrol team went out of the north gate of Kaifeng and headed for the northwest Black Wind City.
The road was very smooth, but just after the New Year, the farther north it went, the colder it became, and after half a month of driving, it began to snow.
On this day, the people came to a tower.
The little fourth son was wrapped in a thick fur shawl, opened the car window, and pointed to the majestic city tower and the city wall in front of him, "Daddy, Yanmen Pass" At this time, the sun sets, the sunlight will sprinkle down through the gaps between the city walls, shining on the thick snow, outside the Yanmen Pass, is the endless Mobei.
Zhanzhao rode a lot of jujubes, raised his face to look at the city tower, no matter how many times he came, Yanmen Pass still gave people a sense of slaughter.
"Looks like someone came to pick us up."
Bai Yutang motioned for Zhan Zhao to look ahead.
On the tower of the city, there are defenders wearing Song Dynasty military uniforms blowing horns, a blue battle flag is erected, waving in the wind, a big "dragon" character on the flag, and half a white lotus.
Zhao Pu took a look, but he was a little surprised that Long Qiaoguang's men had been Zou Liang to pick him up every time before, but this time he actually changed the chatter, Long Qiaoguang was the laziest, and he would come to run errands When the carriage left Yanmen Pass, I saw that there were about a thousand cavalrymen outside, all with black armor and black cloaks, standing there majestically, and on the side, a beautiful tall gray horse was grazing, and there was no one at once, so there were two hard bows, one large and one small.
Zhao Pu took a look at the cavalry battalion, it was the cavalry battalion under Zou Liang, they were all elite soldiers, how could they run out with Long Qiaoguang Chen Baisong, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, had already rolled the saddle and dismounted, and saluted before Zhao Puma, "See Marshal." ” Zhao Pu nodded, motioned for him to get up, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"We follow General Long to pick up the marshal."
Chen Baisong replied.
Zhao Pu was a little puzzled, "Aren't you Zou Liang's people, why did you follow that conversation?"
As soon as Zhao Pu's voice fell, he heard a lazy voice coming, "Alas, the wolf cub who died has become more and more self-contained recently, and the left foot is not very peaceful, and the Liao people are more frequent, so he refuses to come out and feeds the wolves all day long."
Lao He asked me to pick you up instead of him, but it was inconvenient for me to come over, so I borrowed the Xiao Riding Camp from him to use.
And when they were following the voice, they saw a chaise longue behind the grey horse, and on the chaise longue this man was napping.
Just look at the light blue robe and blue cloak, you can recognize it as Long Qiaoguang at a glance.
Sure enough, as soon as Long Qiaoguang raised his head, the two neatly trimmed mustaches were eye-catching.
Zhao Pu hooked his finger at him.
Long Qiaoguang turned over, waved his hand to the people of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and the shape of the 1,000 iron cavalry changed, and 500 opened the road and 500 guards on both sides, and they were well-trained.
The little fourth son looked at the car window and couldn't help but admire, "Wow, it's so spirited."
Long Qiaoguang turned over the gray horse and came to Zhao Pu's side.
When they got closer, they realized that his horse was not gray, but spotted, the legendary spotted leopard.
The background color of the horse is white, and the whole body seems to be splashed with mud spots, with a lot of gray markings, plus a gray mane, and it looks like a gray horse from a distance.
When the horse reached the black owl's side, it snorted, as if to say hello.
The black owl shook his head and greeted him as well.
The horse looked lazy, very close to Long Qiaoguang's usual temperament.
Long Qiaoguang arrived in front of Zhao Pu and began to complain, "You say, it's getting harder and harder to bring the dead child recently, how can I coax him with Lao He but don't speak, who is that, why is the girl in red clothes like this, I see that my baby is so lovesick that he has come out, do you know that he is autistic?"
Zhao Pu raised his forehead and interrupted him, "The one in red is a man, you idiot." ” Long Qiaoguang opened his mouth wide, for a long time, and sighed, "Oh, men look like this these days, how can that woman be mixed, the female babies raised in the Western Regions are not so fine-skinned and tender, how can they raise a man with this virtue, he has a sister, I didn't say Zhao Pu, you let me go back to the Central Plains for a few days, no, I can't find a wife here, I'm not young, I'm going to give birth."
Zhao Pu kicked the leopard's buttocks, and the gray horse slammed its tail and glanced at Long Qiaoguang, who continued to ramble, in disgust, and ran away.
"Spotted, slow down" Long Qiaoguang patted the horse's head, "Haven't you seen the black owl for a long time, aren't you two brothers?"
It wasn't until the spotted leopard named "Spotted" ran away that everyone instantly felt that their ears were clear.
Zhao Pu shook his head speechlessly.
Continue to move forward with the soldiers and horses.
Along the way, the thousand cavalry were more vigilant.
Zhao Pu hooked his finger at Long Qiaoguang, who was ordered to cover his mouth and not allowed to speak.

Long Qiaoguang came to his side.
"It's not been peaceful lately," Zhao Pu asked Long Qiaoguang covered his mouth and looked at him.
Zhao Pubai him," he said. ” Long Qiaoguang was just about to speak, but Zhao Pu warned him, "Speak briefly" Long Qiao opened his mouth for a long time and said, "Yes." ” Behind him, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both wanted to laugh.
The eighth prince leaned against the window of the carriage and asked, "Isn't it possible for the Liao Kingdom to come if you are afraid of the recent activities in this area?"
Long Qiaoguang frowned and said, "It's also paradoxical to say, Yeluqi personally brought people here, and he has been wandering around the neighborhood recently, and the ones sent out don't look like spies, but like some hunters or sappers looking for things all over the world." ” Zhao Pu frowned, "Looking for something" Long Qiaoguang nodded, "I touched the front of the left camp that day, and you also know that the wolf cub has not been in a good mood recently, so he pulled the iron cavalry battalion out and arrested dozens of him, and found that they were all sappers with compasses and shovels, I don't know what the hell he was looking for."
Later, Yeluqi himself came to ask for someone, saying that it was a misunderstanding, and they were looking for something. ” "What the hell are you looking for?"
Zhan Zhao wondered.
Long Qiaoguang said, "It is said that someone in Liao has lost it, or is it an official, who intended to rebel and then ran away." ” Zhao Pu frowned, "How credible is it?"
"Pull it down."
Long Qiaoguang smiled, "Of course you go to a place with a lot of people if you are looking for someone, what kind of people are you looking for in the barren mountains and mountains, so many market towns are not looking, just wander around in the desert, and digging graves is almost the same." ” Everyone looked at each other, which was not a good sign.
"Is there any treasure in this desert" Long Qiaoguang was quite curious, "The rest of the place is not peaceful for a while, and there are more than ten or twenty people in the small countries with horns and horns to wander around near the ghost sea, and they are not afraid of getting lost and falling into the quicksand pit." ” Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and everyone vaguely felt that it might have something to do with the Lost City, but they didn't leak the news:
