Chapter 168 Chapter 168

Princess Pipa, the woman who was sitting on the throne, saw that Chu Liuxiang and Song Lehe seemed to have something to say, so she very kindly allowed them to go to other tents to exchange their recent experiences. Those who left with Chu Liuxiang were a man in brocade clothes with a cold face and a tall man with a beard sitting next to him.

Chu Liuxiang took Song Lehe to the tent where he was staying temporarily, and then continued his previous question.

As for why Song Lehe entered the desert, this was a good question. Song Lehe couldn't help but sigh: "What can I do? If you owe a favor, you will have to be sent. Why did you go to Yumen Pass?" "That's why I went to the desert." Chu Liuxiang said with some relief: "I thought Divine Doctor Song would come to the desert on her own. It's better that she didn't come. " Song

Damo is really not a place suitable for ordinary people.

Lehe crossed his arms and said angrily: "He wants to come, but his bugs can't live here. Rather than holding them back, let's leave it to others. Speaking of you, I asked "People from the Ghost Palace, haven't you already turned around? Why did you turn around and plunge into the desert again?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and was about to speak. However, the man in brocade clothes beside him answered first: "He came here to find you." "Me."

"This is" Song Lehe was a little confused.

"Ji Bingyan, this is Hu Tiehua." Ji Bingyan pointed to his beard and introduced him, then continued, "Some time ago, many people in the Central Plains suddenly bought meteorite iron at high prices. The meteorite iron in the Central Plains either went into some private warehouse, or They are enshrined in temples, so I thought about collecting some from the Western Region. It happened that the Kingdom of Kucha was

relatively close and was famous for being rich in precious stones and jade, so I went to the Kingdom of Kucha to purchase them. He couldn't help but frowned: "I don't know why I was so unlucky. I encountered a powerful official from the Kingdom of Kucha and the princess of the King of Kucha committing adultery in broad daylight. The princess was extremely powerful in martial arts. I was no match for her. After discovering it, he was captured on the spot and imprisoned in a dungeon belonging to the powerful minister."

Hearing this, Song Lehe couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "They didn't choose to kill you on the spot, they just locked you up."

"Ha. Haha," Hu Tiehua, who was sitting drinking, couldn't help laughing, "The princess didn't kill Huadie because of his good face. She said she wanted to taste him, so she spared his life."

Ji Bingyan . After hearing Hu Tiehua's words, his stern face became even longer. He thought it was quite ridiculous that he was spared his life for this reason.

"Hiss," Song Lehe took a deep breath as he looked at Ji Bingyan's dead face, "Although you are good-looking, can't she even shudder when faced with this expression? You have such a good appetite, you are so strong. Very sweet, right?"

"Pfft." Chu Liuxiang was also amused by Song Lehe's sigh, not to mention Hu Tiehua, who was already watching Ji Bingyan's joke.

Ji Bingyan rolled her eyes, but there was nothing she could do with two damaged friends.

"Let me tell you next," Chu Liuxiang set up a platform for Ji Bingyan after she finished laughing, "After I delivered the letter, I was worried that Divine Doctor Song would run into the desert, so I thought of going to help her check on Shi Guanyin. Lao Ji has been in Lanzhou for almost ten years and is much more familiar with the desert than me, so I went to find him first. I found out that he had not returned from the desert, so I planned to go back and return the token to Divine Doctor Song

. On the way back, I met Lao Hu, and just after having a drink with him, I received news from Lao Ji's concubines, saying that Lao Ji had been imprisoned and sentenced to death for offending a powerful official in Qiuci Kingdom. He organized people to go to Kucha Country to rescue people and asked me if I wanted to go with them. I knew that Lao Ji was not a rash person, so I felt something was wrong about him offending the powerful officials, so I agreed. "

"This matter is my fault . As I said before, how could I, Hu Tiehua, not have the opportunity to watch the joke about the dead cock, so I came with him?" Hu Tiehua never mentioned that when he first heard about this, he jumped in haste for fear of being slow. Something happened to Hu Tiehua. Now that everyone is here, I just want to watch my friends laugh.

"It is indeed thanks to Lao Chu that this happened, otherwise if they had come here, things would have been much worse." Ji Bingyan was also a little scared when talking about this incident. If Chu Liuxiang hadn't happened to come to Lanzhou, then the only concubines who knew some basic martial arts might have been able to come over in time after his accident. Judging from what happened next, even if they came, they would probably have to fight with him. They were all trapped together in this small country of Qiuci.

Chu Liuxiang and Ji Bingyan looked at each other and smiled. There really wasn't much to say between brothers. They were all people who could help their brothers.

Chu Liuxiang continued: "I asked them to stay in Lanzhou on the grounds that I needed them to stabilize the rear, and I led the team to the Kingdom of Kucha. After arriving in the Kingdom of Kucha, I temporarily left the caravan and started looking for the place where Lao Ji was imprisoned. . In the dungeon of the powerful minister, I not only found Lao Ji, but also learned the real reason why he was imprisoned there. However, before I could rescue Lao Ji, the powerful minister launched a conspiracy to force the palace. Speaking

of the chaotic situation at that time, Ji Bingyan also had a headache: "After Lao Chu and I left the dungeon, we saw soldiers patrolling everywhere. The security was extremely tight. We followed a group of soldiers and found that they were all heading towards the palace. . Then we bumped into Princess Pipa's breakout team, followed by the king and princess of Kucha Kingdom. Princess Pipa had seen me before, and she probably had some impression of me and knew that I had offended the powerful officials, so she spoke out. Please help.

I didn’t want to get involved in this matter. After all, it was Kucha Kingdom’s own business, and I was afraid I wouldn’t get any benefits from it. But I didn’t expect that when I was about to leave, I saw the King of Kucha Kingdom next to me. The princess I brought with me was the same one I saw having an affair with a powerful minister in broad daylight. What was even more unfortunate was that she had also seen me,

maybe because she thought I would expose her, so she simply said no. King Qiuci and Princess Pipa had no idea that the princess was capable of martial arts, so after the princess took action, there was some internal confusion among Lao Chu and the princess. , King Kucha, Princess Pipa, the surrounding soldiers, and the rebels who were chasing us, the situation was extremely chaotic. In the end, we managed to escape with Princess Pipa, but King Kucha died in the chaos.

" I didn’t go into details, but considering that I was under heavy siege and there were traitors inside, I can guess how chaotic it would be. Song Lehe was also speechless about these coincidences. His only question now is: "So who is that princess? King Qiuci can't even figure out whether the person he has been sleeping with for many years knows martial arts. And you are now Are you planning to fight back if you stay here?"

"That should be a fake princess," Chu Liuxiang said to Song Lehe, "We later discussed the situation with Princess Pipa. According to her, the princess has always been weak and not good at martial arts. , and the relationship with King Qiuci is not that good. On the contrary, their relationship suddenly improved some time ago. It may be that they changed people at that time. As for the person who we suspect is disguised as the princess, it is the doctor Song. I'm looking for Shi Guanyin. She fits the bill in terms of appearance, position, and martial arts."

"As for the reason why we stay here," Ji Bingyan frowned, "It's because we can't leave. The safety of the caravan members staying in Kucha King City is uncertain, and even we ourselves are actually unable to protect ourselves. Shi Guanyin's people are outside the oasis, and they send people over almost every day to interrogate Kucha Kingdom's most precious treasure, the Star of Bliss and the treasure house. Whereabouts. Speaking of which, how did you get here?"

Song Lehe was a little surprised when he heard that Shi Guanyin was in Qiuci Kingdom. When he heard that Shi Guanyin's people stopped outside the oasis, Song Lehe was surprised. It's confusion.

He scratched his head and said: "This is how we walked all the way, and we didn't meet anyone. No, that's not right. Ever since our team entered the desert, people have been coming to harass us, trying to change our progress. Route, let us return to the pass, so it is not necessarily that no one stopped us, but that we did not find any difference between the people who stopped us from going to the Stone Forest and the people who stopped us from coming here."

Song Lehe suddenly realized this. They have already changed their direction. Why are Shi Guanyin's people still harassing them? It turns out that this is also a place where Shi Guanyin doesn't want them to come.

"So, Shi Guanyin is not in Stone Forest now, but in the capital of Qiuci Kingdom?" Song Lehe couldn't help but frowned. He didn't really want to get involved in politics. Moreover, Shi Guanyin and the stone forest where poppies are suspected to be planted are not together, so they have to go to two places.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet," Chu Liuxiang asked, "Who did you come with? I saw that the girl who came with you didn't seem like an ordinary person."

"It's Jellyfish Yin Ji, she and "Shi Guanyin has a past," Song Lehe asked, "Where do you think Shi Guanyin should be now, whether it is Stone Forest or the capital of Qiuci Kingdom."

Chu Liuxiang thought for a while and said, "I have also heard about Shi Guanyin and Jellyfish Yin Ji. , since she knows that Jellyfish Yinji is coming to her, she really may not stay in Stone Forest. The Kingdom of Kucha is now in her hands. The people around her who occasionally threaten Princess Pipa are Shi Guanyin's disciples, but she herself. She has never appeared here before. Before she received the news that Jellyfish Yinji was here, she should still be in Qiuci Country."

Song Lehe stood up and said, "Without further delay, I will go find Jellyfish Yinji, and we will wait. Leaving the others behind, Qinggong rushed to the capital of Kucha to try to catch her. By the way, it's not far from Kucha. "

" According to Qinggong, it's not that far," Chu Liuxiang affirmed Song Le. He's choice, "I'm going to talk to Princess Pipa and let's go find Shi Guanyin. She will come and stop the powerful official who may be helping Shi Guanyin."

The four of them discussed the plan for a while, and then went their separate ways.
