The random speculation outside has nothing to do with Xu Que. He is lying quietly now, constantly sorting out the clues in his mind.

First of all, he determined that the Prime Minister must have thought that this plan was absolutely certain, so he sent people to Shanyu County in advance. As for why he did this? That's because the eldest wife's natal family is there!

The second piece of news is that although the Hu Jianjun sent by Beijiang Dao does not know which faction this Hu Jianjun belongs to, his purpose is already clear. Although the three towns in Beijiang have been lost, the above is completely You can find an excuse to attack the three towns in Northern Xinjiang again. Then, if some small accident occurs, the Dafang lineage will be completely gone!

How vicious! Xu Que complained inwardly.

As for the third item, that is Mingde Tower... Judging from the information Xu Que has now, Mingde Tower is completely a vicious dog raised by the Prime Minister.

If you want to kill this evil dog... Judging from the current situation, it is completely impossible, unless he can become an official!

It is definitely not enough to be a small official serving outside the country. At the very least, he must be a capital official of rank 5 or above!

The more Xu Que thought about it at this moment, the more worried he became. This was completely the beginning of a super hell mode, and he was completely at the most disadvantaged side...

Just when Xu Que was thinking about how to break the situation, a maid who was adding water knocked on the door: "Sister Yun Shang, I am Cui'er. Mom asked me to add some hot water to you and the young master."

Ning Yunshang opened the door, and the little maid quickly looked over to check, and found that the handsome young man had fallen asleep on the couch, and she was finally relieved.

"Sister Yunshang, mommy asks you to go out." Cui'er put down the hot water bottle and whispered.

"Oh, okay." Ning Yunshang replied.

Ning Yunshang didn't know why her mother was looking for her, but she had nothing to do at the moment, so she just went out for a while.

Before leaving, Ning Yunshang glanced at the sleeping Xu Que, then gently closed the door and left.

The door closed, and Xu Que slowly opened his eyes, with a meaningful smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.



The next day, Xu Que left Baihua Building early.

It seemed like he was wandering aimlessly, but actually he wanted to know how many pairs of eyes were looking at him right now!

After leaving the inner city, Xu Que entered a pawn shop.

When the pawn shop owner saw a customer coming so early, a smile appeared on his face instantly.

"Does this young master want to be used as something?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Yes." Xu Chuanmao nodded, took out a gold bead and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Can this be used as a gift?"

The shopkeeper looked carefully and saw that the gold bead was exquisite and round, which made his eyes light up...

"Master, do you want to die? Or live?"

The so-called dead pawn means that it is sold. After the pawn shop gets the thing, it can be sold directly after changing hands.

To pawn, that is, to temporarily mortgage the item and redeem it at will within the specified period. However, the mortgaged item will incur some fees during this period. If it cannot be redeemed within this period, then the item will belong to the pawn shop!

"It doesn't matter. If the shopkeeper likes it, you can just pick it up and buy it."

"How much do you want, Master?" The shopkeeper seemed to be playing with the golden beads, but his eyes narrowed to a thin slit as he reconfirmed the value of this item.

"How much does the shopkeeper give me?"

"One tael of silver!"

"make a deal!"

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he almost dropped the golden beads in his hand.

He felt that he must be dreaming...otherwise, how could he encounter such a good thing so early in the morning?

And when he gave the young man a piece of broken silver, he was even more shocked, because Xu Que tore up the pawn ticket on the spot!

what does that mean? This is even more stupid than that stupid one. It's the kind of person who doesn't admit his fault at all. Even if he reports to the official, he won't be able to do it...

Is there something wrong with this golden bead?

The shopkeeper took the opportunity of Xu Que to check carefully again, but there was nothing wrong with it. It was of perfect quality, round and exquisite in shape, and this was not the most valuable thing about the beads. There was nothing on this bead. The patterns were completely formed by nature. If he read correctly, they were formed by ten thousand years of spiritual accumulation, also called Ling Ding Pearl!

The Spirit Ding Bead is extremely rare. Just such a bead can easily be sold for tens of thousands of taels of gold!

The shopkeeper sent Xu Que away, not to mention how happy he was. If there were a few more of these enemies... it would be difficult for him not to take action!

"Oh, no wonder the magpies chirped so beautifully today!" the shopkeeper said proudly.

Xu Que, who left the pawn shop, naturally didn't know how proud the shopkeeper was, but even if he knew, he wouldn't raise the price!

As for why he wouldn't... Do you think that fox demon thing is so easy to get? Or is it that the fox demon has converted to a Bodhisattva?

When Xu Que completely walked out of the street, two figures appeared in the darkness. One walked towards the pawn shop, while the other waved to the people around him, signaling to continue to follow.

"Strange, why is this kid wandering around?"

Watching Xu Que walk into a blacksmith shop and then a grocery store, these people all had question marks on their faces?

For scholars like Xu Que, the first thought of those who are following him is to go back and study more, and then go to the brothel at night...

But Xu Que was different. He either went to the blacksmith shop for a stroll, or he went to grocery stores, rice shops, cloth stores, and wine shops. It was completely the behavior of a merchant!

What made these people even more confused was that instead of buying anything when he went in, he asked about the price, just like an official from the Department of Prices making an inspection.

At noon, Xu Que went to a restaurant, ate something casually, and then walked towards Piaoxiang Building.

Seeing Xu Que entering Piaoxiang Building, the dozen or so people following him looked as if they had eaten shit.

"Even if this kid becomes a scholar, he still can't change his playboy character!"

"Even so, I don't know why the host asked us to stare at..."

The few people in the darkness hated Xu Que so much that if they had taken action in the capital, they would have cut Xu Que into pieces long ago!

Xu Que entered Piaoxiang Building, found a comfortable place and started listening to music.



One hundred and eighty miles southwest of the capital city

After a night's journey, Xu Fan and Liu Rushi finally arrived in Pingliang County.

If Xu Fan escaped from the capital alone, it wouldn't take him even one night. For him, even if it was 800 miles, it would take half a day, let alone 180 miles.

But it won't work with Liu Rushi... After all, Liu Rushi is just an ordinary person.

After the two of them had rested their feet, Xu Fan bought a carriage.

According to the route Xu Que planned for him, he would need to walk for two more days before he could drive all the way northwest.

"Lang Jun, it's all me who has caused you trouble." Liu Rushi looked at Xu Fan distressedly.

"It's okay. In two days, we will be completely free." Xu Fan helped Liu Rushi get into the carriage.

As the carriage gradually drove toward the southwest, three people studying came out of the tavern!

"Strange, that woman looks so familiar." A scholar in green clothes looked to the southwest in confusion.

"Brother Yu, this is not a good thing about you. As long as a woman looks pretty, you will say she is familiar with her!" The companion teased the scribe.

"That's right, it's better to go to Chunfeng Tower!" Another companion agreed.

The Qingyi Wensheng shook his head: "I'm serious, I think I've seen him in the capital... I just can't remember it at the moment."

The two companions looked at each other, then smiled and put their hands on the shoulders of Wensheng in green: "Okay, let's go to Chunfeng Tower, you are familiar with the girls there!"

As the two laughed "haha", the Qingyi Wensheng also smiled helplessly, and the three of them walked towards the Chunfeng Tower in the county seat.



Xiangsheng County, more than 400 miles north of the capital city

After the first Shuangjiao Mountain ambush, Xu Maocai and his team never encountered any ambush again.

After sending the women into the room, Xu Maocai came to the stable and grabbed a handful of fodder: "They may have discovered something."

There was no one in the stable. If anyone saw Xu Maocai talking to himself, they would definitely think he was crazy.

"It's very possible, but this is also a good thing. At least it will be much calmer along the way." A voice sounded outside the stable. Although the voice was a little old, it was full of energy.

"I'm still a little worried. Although the emperor can't give a direct order, the old thief Naqu will definitely send sergeants to chase him." Xu Maocai threw away the fodder in his hand and walked out of the stable to look at Uncle Liu.
