The weather was calm and the seven days had passed.
In order to shorten the travel time, Song Huan and his party traveled day and night, and finally arrived in advance in Anshun, not far from Anning.
Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Song Huan decided to rest in Anshun City for half a day before setting off again.
Anshun City is not big, but it is filled with a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
Song Huan had nothing to do and wanted to experience the local customs and customs, so he took Lu Qianxue, who was dressed in men's clothing, out of the post house and wandered around on the street.
I have to say that Lu Qianxue is very handsome and handsome when she puts on men's clothes.
Compared with the usual women's attire, it is even more stunning!
Seeing Lu Qianxue's long and graceful appearance, Song Huan finally understood why so many people like Cosprey.
The two of them wandered around all morning and tasted the famous local snacks. They planned to find a small stall nearby to have lunch, and then returned to the inn to rest and prepare to set off.
Seeing Song Huan's extraordinary bearing and the unparalleled beauty of the entourage he was carrying with him, the stall owner couldn't help but become curious about the two of them.
"This young master doesn't look like a native of An Ning!"
"Are you from out of town?"
Seeing that the boss had no ill intentions, Song Huan casually smiled and said, "Yes, I am a businessman from the north."
"I'm planning to continue walking southwest!"
Upon hearing that Song Huan was going to move southwest, the boss's expression suddenly changed.
"Master, are you still going southwest?"
Seeing that the boss had a serious expression, Song Huan nodded doubtfully.
"yes!"
"Going southwest, isn't there Anning County?"
"I am going to Anning County to do business."
When he heard that Song Huan's destination was Anning County, the boss couldn't help but take a breath.
"Sir, I think you are a kind-faced person and you are not very young, so I would like to give you some advice."
"If you want to do business, go do it elsewhere."
"The only thing is don't go to that Anning County!"
Seeing that the boss seemed to be very resistant to this place, Song Huan's curiosity was completely aroused.
"Boss, can you tell me in detail?"
"What's wrong with Anning County?"
The boss "tsk tsk tsk" a few times, lowered his voice and moved closer to Song Huan.
"Master, haven't you heard of it?"
"This Anning County is famous as a den of thieves in southwest Yunnan!"
"It is said that all the people in the end took over the mountain and became kings, became bandits, and completely disobeyed the court's discipline!"
"The local county government sent officers and soldiers to suppress it several times, but it didn't work!"
"After the New Year, the Anning County Yamen will probably send a letter to the court requesting to send troops for support."
"Where can anyone dare to go to peace now?"
"I'm afraid I would rather take a detour and walk hundreds of miles more than pass that place!"
"So, Master, you'd better go do business somewhere else!"
Song Huan and Lu Qianxue looked at each other with surprised expressions.
"It is said that Anning is rich in assets and it should be impossible for people to have enough to eat."
"How could such a good person become the king of a mountain and become a bandit?"
"Who would leave a good life behind?"
I originally thought this was just a hearsay, but I didn't expect that it was all true.
But Song Huan still couldn't figure it out. Why would these people become bandits if they left the peaceful common people alone?
The boss curled his lips and shook his head: "Who can say for sure?"
"It must be because I am greedy and want more!"
"Anyway, young master, just listen to my advice. The New Year is approaching and it's important to save your life!"
Song Huan was thoughtful, thanked the boss, and left some extra money for the boss before leaving.
After the two returned to the post house, Song Huan completely relayed everything he had just heard to Liang Yuanqiao.
When Liang Yuanqiao heard this, he immediately fell into a long silence.
After a long while, Liang Yuanqiao thought about it and said: "Your Highness, since the boss said it so seriously, it should be more than just hearsay!"
"If we go to Anning as imperial envoys, the people will definitely think that the imperial court sent people to suppress it in advance."
"If we really turn against you, it will definitely be detrimental to us!"
"Should we return to the capital temporarily and report to the Holy Master before we make plans?"
Liang Yuanqiao's concerns are not unreasonable.
If even the local county government can't suppress those people, then leading more than a hundred people there by yourself is almost the same as committing suicide!
He could take this risk, but how innocent were the more than a hundred people who followed him?
Song Huan wanted to agree, but it was not easy to walk for seven whole days.
We are about to reach the finish line, do we have to retreat temporarily?
Song Huan struggled in his mind for a long time, and finally thought of a more compromise solution.
"Master Liang, I have a good idea."
"When they arrived outside Anning County, most people stayed where they were."
"I will take two shadow guards to the county town to inquire about the situation!"
"If it is as the boss said, that place is indeed a poor place, then we will set off immediately and return to the capital."
"It took a lot of effort to get here. If I don't find out the truth clearly, I will return in vain. I am really unwilling to do so!"
After hearing what Song Huan said, Liang Yuanqiao immediately echoed: "Your Highness, I think this method is feasible!"
"Even if you just check out the local situation in person, your trip is not in vain!"
"It's just that Wei Chen has one more request."
Song Huan nodded: "Master Liang, please speak."
Liang Yuanqiao's tone was very firm: "When the time comes, Wei Chen will go to Anning County with His Highness to find out the truth together!"
"As the prince of Daliang, you are willing to put yourself in such danger."
"As a courtier of Daliang, how can there be any reason for Wei Chen to shrink back?"
"Please give your permission, Your Highness!"
Seeing that the other party was very determined, Song Huan nodded accordingly.
"Okay, then when the time comes, you and Wang Kai will follow me into peace."
"As for the others, stay where you are!"
"Without further delay, let's set off quickly."
Liang Yuanqiao cupped his hands, bowed to Song Huan and said, "Yes!"
A quarter of an hour later, the team moved towards the southwest again.
Lu Qianxue and Song Huan were sitting in the carriage. Seeing Song Huan closing his eyes and concentrating, she thought he was worried about peace.
Feeling a little distressed, she stretched out her hand and held it with Song Huan's.
"Brother Huan, after arriving in An'ing, I want to enter the county with you..."
"No!" Song Huan categorically rejected Lu Qianxue, "You have already heard what the boss described today."
"No one can tell what the specific situation is in Anning County."
"How could I let you go on an adventure with me?"
"Just stay where you are and wait for me to come back!"
