Hetao, a geographical noun that is well known to the Chinese nation, is located in the "Ji"-shaped area surrounding the Yellow River. It is an alluvial plain formed by the erosion of the Yellow River. The land is fertile and lush grass and trees are called the South of the Yangtze River. The common saying "The Yellow River is harmful to all kinds of harms, and the only richest one is the one" refers to the Hetao area.

It is flat and has no mountains and abundant water sources. It is a natural ranch. It is so important that it is in the long river of history and will naturally not be ignored by all forces. Before Zhao State unification, the Hu people had ruled Hetao for hundreds of years, extending southward to the Qilian Mountains. After that, they were taken into the capital by Zhao State's entire country until the eight feudal kings.

Hetao initially established only one state. After Xiliang established its capital, it was divided into two parts and divided into Hezhou and Anzhou for management. The former occupies the northern and eastern parts of Hetao, and is across the river from Beiyan. The rushing Yellow River is also a dividing line between the two countries. In addition to official ferries and ships, civilian ships are strictly prohibited from traveling to and from both sides without permission.

Because of this incident, Qing Yan and Shangguan Feiyan were worried for several days. They thought that no matter how thick the iron plate was, there would be several small gaps. However, after searching from south to north along the west bank of the Yellow River for two days and two nights, they did not see a boatman. They had to admire Xiliang's government orders.

"It's really unlucky that I can't even get too tired of drinking cold water. I didn't expect Xiliang to value smuggling so much. It's logical that it has a good relationship with Beiyan, so why does it look like it's still alive on the border line?"

"Maybe it was because his relatives from Nan Zhao and Nan Zhao had stirred up the nerves of Xiliang, and Bailiji had not found you, so he issued martial law orders to all borders, thinking about killing the horses and treating them alive."

The two stood on the beach and sighed.

Qingyan said in confusion: "Don't you have the Fierce Sun Order in your hand? Can you activate the Fengmanlou people to help us cross the Yellow River, or find a few reliable boatmen, or you will just follow the Yellow River and stare at you, and you still don't know if you can reach the other side."

"Although this idea is feasible, I don't think there is much hope. The spies lurking in Xiliang, Fengmanlou, do not care about anything other than doing their own jobs, so they will not be able to interfere in the affairs of Beiyan, let alone prepare for crossing the Yellow River in the east."

Looking at the rolling waves, Qingyan felt helpless. If he hadn't thought about Ling'er's safety, he would never have made such a helpless decision.

"Feiyan, let's go to Hukou City first to see if we can use the power of the Qingzhu Gang."

"Yes! You have a life-long friendship with Gang Lin, and you have also pulled Dui Dui before. As long as you show off in front of the Qingzhu Gang, they will not be able to come and help you." Shangguan Feiyan's expression of sudden enlightenment was a little annoyed, and she secretly annoyed why she didn't expect it.

"Actually, I had thought of this method a long time ago, but because the Qingzhu Gang's disciples were inevitably involved in a few scum. If they discovered their identity and exposed their whereabouts, then it would not be Xiliang and the eight-armed Divine Ape that would come to chase us. What awaits us will be the strangle of the two countries."

Shangguan Feiyan also felt that this was reasonable. If the Qingzhu Gang disciples really saw through their identity, their situation would be ten thousand times more dangerous.

"Now we have no choice, we don't know where Ling'er is going. For her, I will reach Yecheng as soon as possible to save her from the dire straits." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beiyan, the prefect of Yinping County, Huaibei.

As the acceptor of receiving the generous "betrothal gift", Zhuge Muyun made a final handover with the other officials. When the Northern Yan defenders slowly drove out of the north gate, the Huainan Legion, who had been waiting for a long time, advanced forward twenty miles away from the south gate.

Zhai Ye, who looks about forty-seven or eight years old, is at the age of knowing destiny. Although this person is short, he is much shorter than a seven-foot man like Bai Yi, but Kong Wu is powerful. He can feel the explosive muscles under the mysterious armor even in his armor.

As a veteran of the Huainan Legion, he was very familiar with Yinping County. When Zhao Xuance fought for thousands of miles, he followed Huangquan to guard Huaibei and firmly built Yinping County with extremely small troops. However, a few years ago, Northern Yan went south and seized the two counties that represented the glory of the past. During this period, Zhai Ye didn't know how many times he sighed.

Now he has been in the position of Huainan as the commander of the general in Huainan for ten years, commanding the 100,000 army that he respected the most back then. However, Zhai Ye looked as he was getting closer and closer to the familiar city wall, but he was not happy in his heart. He knew why the entire Yinping County returned to Nan Zhao. He set foot on the old land of Huainan in this way, which had already made him angry for half a month, but no one noticed him.

When he walked under the city gate, Zhai Ye did not enter the city with the army, but turned over and got off the horse and wiped the mottled dark red city gate. It seemed that he could feel the temperature of the past, the horse that was wielding his halberd.

"Old prince, even if he is unwilling to do so, he is a minister of Nan Zhao and the commander of Huainan, and has to obey the orders of the late emperor. Don't worry, Bei Zhi will definitely not waste the land exchanged by the princess, and will never let it fall into the opponent again."

At the beach in Huaibei dozens of miles away, the Northern Yan delegation had already landed on the shore and came north. As long as you travel for one day, you can enter the territory of Northern Yan. Prince Yi rode on a tall horse with a high-headed horse, with a high expression and no pain of cede the land, as if he was like a victorious general. Looking back at the luxurious carriage, Yi was in a more comfortable mood. I don’t know how many times I looked back on the way. I remembered the shocking man of Princess Fuyao for the first time, and I just felt that the deal was worth it. National Master Li Yangcheng would not deceive me.

There were not many servants accompanying Zhao Ling'er this time. Except for a few maids in the palace, there was not even a guard. This made the entire Northern Yan delegation secretly admire him. He thought that he was worthy of being the daughter of Zhao Xuance. His courage this time was really extraordinary.

Zhai Ye stood on the city wall and looked at the slowly coming Beiyan delegation, his eyes focused on the carriage, and his fists burst out due to excessive force.

"General, why not let's stop the princess with one vote. Anyway, Yinping County has now come to our hands and Your Majesty has passed away." The deputy general next to him did not deliberately lower his voice, as if the words he said were just a family matter.

"We are all the old masters of the old prince. I understand your feelings very well. How could I watch the old prince's daughter marry her enemy? Alas..."

"I have thought about it. As long as the other party goes to Yinping County, he will catch him off guard with a thousand iron cavalry and will definitely be able to stop the princess." The deputy general's eyes seemed to be inflamed. "I also heard that the Prince Wu and the Prince's Mansion have a very deep friendship, especially with our little prince. I believe that it will not affect it too much in the future. At most, it will be just to cut off the head of Bei Zhi alone."

Zhai Ye sighed and said, "But have you ever thought that the King of Wu has not officially ascended the throne, and His Majesty has not yet been cold yet. It is the time when the court is not stable. Even if we are not afraid that King of Wu will only cut you down after the settlement of the score, this will definitely create an excellent excuse for Beiyan to send troops. I guess Beiyan would never have thought that His Majesty would die before his mission to our country. If they could predict the future, they would definitely not have formed this damn covenant with us."

"Then aren't we afraid that these grandsons will go back on their word after taking the princess to Yecheng?"

"It won't be like this. Even the Hu people have to be respectful. In recent years, Zhongbei Yan tried his best to reform in the hands of Li Yang. The atmosphere is almost the same as our Nan Zhao. The most important thing is that we take over Yinping County as quickly as possible. Yi Zi has long missed the best opportunity to break the contract."

Two senior generals, one officer and one deputy, looked at the mission gradually distant, feeling guilty.

"If the old prince is in Jinling or Shouchun, why should he be so angry? Only we can take advantage of them. How can Hu Gou get the turn of marrying the Nan Zhao woman or the daughter of the old prince? He wouldn't dare to borrow ten thousand courage from them."

Zhai Ye didn't know how many times he sighed today, maybe more than in his entire life. "Why do you need the old prince? As long as the little prince is in Jinling, Yi Yi didn't even dare to mention the princess' name. Good fortune makes people, good fortune makes people."

--------------------(I'm a dividing line)

At the same time, Qingyan and Shangguan Feiyan came to the largest county town near the west bank of the Yellow River.

This city is called Hukou City, with a long history. It can be traced back to the time when the seven kingdoms fought, and the weather-beaten city walls showed that it had seen too many situations. Perhaps it was because Xiliang did not focus on consolidating the hinterland, and there were still many arrow holes on it, and I don’t know what era it was left behind.

When they found a restaurant, they were about to fill their stomachs first and then go to find the weighing Qingzhu Gang forces.

"Hey hey! Do you know that something big happened in Qilian Mountain a few days ago!" I saw several people from the martial arts holding weapons sitting next to them whispering.

"Qilian Mountain? What big thing can happen in that place where birds don't poop? Could it be that Gu Xiangren came here?"

"You kid is worthy of being called Erlangzi. Gu Xiang is full and he is overwhelmed by our country? Let's burn high incense if we don't hit them."

The burly man named Erlangzi heard the voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and say something, how can you be as good as the storyteller."

"Do you know that the Qilian Mountains are endless and there are countless jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, what else is there?"

"Of course it's the Ten Thousand Beast Palace. Although they were so low-key in the past, I still heard this news. Isn't this the big thing you are talking about, right?"

"Oh! You are quite well-informed. There are very few lone wolves like us in the Xiliang world who rarely know this news. Come here, I will tell you in a low voice... A few days ago, someone picked someone from the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace."

Needless to say, Qingyan has long surpassed ordinary people. Shangguan Feiyan can also be called a female hero with great martial arts skills, so she can hear the words of the table next to her clearly.
