The next day.

It was dusk approaching again, and the drizzle was coming.

A dusty team, guarding two carriages, appeared in the sight of the Weicheng defenders.

The carriage, almost covered with arrows, was slowly driving, for fear that a sudden acceleration would shake the already overwhelmed carriage.

In the carriage in front, Li Yu, the princess of Tang State, lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the top of Weicheng city, fluttering in the wind, and roaring the Tang State military flag that declared its great reputation.

The huge rock that had been pressing on Li Yu's heart for many days finally fell. This is Weicheng, the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

After entering Weicheng, he returned to Tang State. Even the one in the palace dared not let her die in the border city of Tang State.

"Lu Qingchen, tell the Weicheng garrison that this palace needs a guide, a guide who is familiar with the local Weicheng."

She could not trust the border army of Tang State. The elder brother in the palace had a very high prestige in the army. She only had one younger brother, so she could not take risks and could not bear the consequences of adventure.

Lu Qingchen walked down from the carriage behind and said, "Old minister receives the order!"

"Mr. Chen, coming from the mountain, why not enter this Weicheng with me and see the scenery here?"

He wanted to enter the city to meet the Weicheng garrison, so naturally he could not keep Mr. Chen outside.

Even if he is willing to believe Chen Xuan, as the escort of His Highness, he cannot put His Highness's safety between Chen Xuan's good and evil.

Chen Xuan, who had learned to ride a horse, skillfully turned over and dismounted. Chen Xuan looked at the small town with blue bricks in the distance, covering only three miles, and said, "The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, as if the old friend of the frontier is returning."

"Since Mr. Lu invited me, I should accompany you."

Obviously, this practitioner from the South Gate of Haotian Dao does not trust him, which is also in line with common sense.

It is normal to have a sharp weapon and not be trusted.

Lu Qingchen walked towards Weicheng with the chastity that His Highness the Princess married away.

Chen Xuan walked half a step behind Lu Qingchen. Before he could approach the city of Weicheng, he could already feel the intention of killing in the army.

In my ears, the rapid sound of war drums sounded.

The creaking sound of the winch when the crossbow is blown, sounds more like the horn of death.

If it weren't for the chaotic battle in Lu Qingchen's hands, they would probably face the arrows of the Weicheng defenders now.

Even if he is a physical body, he will have a way to survive when facing the crossbow.

Five hundred steps later, he had already arrived at the city!

Lu Qingchen held a scepter and said loudly: "The southern gate of Haotian Dao worships Lu Qingchen, please see General Ma, the Weicheng Guardian."

Hearing the voice of General Ma, Ma Shixiang, wearing shabby iron armor, laughed happily on the top of Weicheng City.

In his life, Old Ma even became a general who was worshipped by the South Gate of Haotian Dao.

"Why are you still standing there? You haven't opened the city gate yet, please invite Mr. Lu and the others to come in."

Ma Shixiang kicked the weather-beaten military soldier on the butt. The military soldier carried a spear and rubbed his butt and trotted down the city.

As a major frontier town, there are only more than 300 troops stationed in Weicheng, which is because no barbarian dares to make trouble wherever the Tang Banner goes.

He could also guess the identity of the noble man who refused to enter the city. The Khan from the Golden Tent Royal Court has been replaced!

Soon after, as the Qianjin Gate was pulled up, the city gate was unloaded, and the Weicheng City Gate was wide open.

The Weicheng garrison Ma Shixiang personally led Lu Qingchen and Chen Xuan into Weicheng.

Walking on the path soaked by the drizzle, Chen Xuan carefully observed the layout in Weicheng.

As a military city, the layout of Weicheng is staggered and there are six or seven arrow towers, which can be seen in the military preparations of the Tang Dynasty.

Ma Shixiang led the two into the best restaurant in Weicheng, saying that it was called a restaurant, but in fact it was just a tavern.

But the owner of the tavern was afraid that others would look down on him, so he told everyone that this was a restaurant.

Ma Shixiang shouted: "Boss, hurry up and serve the food and entertain the distinguished guests, and then clear the venue!"

The restaurant owner smiled and said, "Then you must treat General Ma well. The mutton that is now slaughtered and the wine from the capital."

It is better to know less when you are promoted to a small person. If you know too much, you will easily lose the style of eating.

In a moment, the tender mutton was served on the table. Both the chef and the waiter man were served. After serving the dishes, he consciously opened the tavern.

The man was very cautious. After retreating from the firehead army, he kept leaving Weicheng, so he naturally knew what the scepter meant.

The restaurant had nothing to do with it and others were cleared. There were soldiers from Weicheng in all directions, guarding them with strong bows and crossbows.

Ma Shixiang looked at Chen Xuan in Taoist robe and asked, "Mr. Lu, who is this gentleman?"

"I remember when the noble man married the Khan of the Golden Tent, the gentleman seemed not to be in the ranks of the accompanying team."

In the court, the maids of noble people and the gatekeepers of the prime minister cannot be offended.

But in this desert where horse bandits roam, the ones that cannot be messed with are the people wearing Taoist robes.

This is an extremely suspicious and dangerous person. As a military general, he cannot let that noble man have an accident around Weicheng.

Chen Xuan looked at the tender mutton in the basin and said with a smile: "The wild roads in the mountains are broadcast on demand. I occasionally realized something. I just met a noble person two days ago."

"Although I have the cultivation level, I have only a little understanding. How can I compare to Mr. Lu?"

The frontier soldiers have always been straightforward, so Chen Xuan is naturally not polite.

Drink alcohol and eat it with a knife!

The wine is not low and it is extremely spicy when it enters the throat. Chen Xuan naturally understands why.

Ma Shixiang smiled and said, "The boss is greedy for money and can exchange the fine wines from Beidi to the wine jars in the capital, and the price will be much higher."

"In the frontier army, few people have been to the capital city and have never drunk the capital city's wine, so this scam can naturally be maintained."

But this is also a consensual matter!

As for who suffered the loss, only you know.

Chen Xuan looked slightly stunned, as if he felt helpless because of the reason. The bitter and cold land in the border area was desolate day and night, but when will he see the prosperous scenery?

Lu Qingchen said with a serious expression: "I am here after being ordered to come this time because I want to borrow a guide. The noble man asked to take a small road and take a shortcut."

Ma Shixiang said, "Mr. Lu, why do you need to do this? Three hundred soldiers in Weicheng can draw out 100 people to escort noble people from the main road."

Not only is it difficult to walk on a small road, but it is easy to be ambushed by people. I really don’t know what the nobles think, so I have to walk on a dangerous road.

Lu Qingchen said helplessly: "I can't dissuade you from being a noble person!"

The South Gate of Haotian Dao is ultimately just the product of the compromise between the Tang Kingdom and the Dao Sect.

Previously, Chen Xuan said that if he had not come from Tianqi Mountain or Taoshan, then there would be only Zhishouguan in the green mountains behind Taoshan.

From the foot of the green mountains, do you know that you are coming to guard the sight?

With such an identity as him, it is extremely difficult to do.

Chen Xuan ignored the argument between the two and just savored the tender mutton.

In the past, few people could eat tender lamb that was not raised.

The mutton is very good, the wine is good, and the scenery in the border area is even better. I just don’t know how prosperous Chang’an is?
