On the official road to Linxian County, a carriage moved forward slowly.
This was Xu Que's first time driving a carriage. The experience was neither good nor bad, but it was not as exciting as driving in the modern era.
But compared with flying in the air, it's still far behind...
After all, Yukong felt really good, but it was too cold, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.
Xu Que decided that when he returned to Zheyang County, he would make something.
In the car, Xu Fan took care of Liu Rushi. After Liu Rushi fell asleep, he came out to chat with Xu Que.
"How is it?" Xu Fan asked.
"What's going on?" Xu Que was puzzled.
"Driving a cart, you used to ride around with chickens and dogs, but you have never been a cart driver." Xu Fan teased Xu Que, always feeling that his younger brother had changed so much.
"It's not bad, I just can't remember the past." Xu Que said pretending to be indifferent.
Xu Fan nodded: "It's good not to have those memories. At least there are less worries."
Hearing what his eldest brother said, Xu Que wanted to complain. He sincerely asked his eldest brother, do you know that there is a saying that forgetting memories is tantamount to betrayal? …
As the carriage moved forward, Xu Fan took out the annotations Xu Que gave him and began to study them.
Seeing that his elder brother was so serious, Xu Que stopped disturbing him and just drove the carriage silently.

Xu Mansion, Zheyang County
Although the Xu Mansion here is not as big as the capital city, it still has a sense of vitality. Every servant cleans the house very clean.
"Master, we are back." A thin man and a woman with a gangster spirit walked into the main hall.
"How's the investigation going?" Xu Maocai immediately stood up and asked.
"It's just like what the young master said, then He Yi is almost at Shanyu County now." The woman replied with a gangster air.
"According to the information we have received so far, he entered Nanfeng Prefecture from Miqu, and there were more than 40 officials greeting him on the way. It seems that he did not miss anything along the way." The thin man said.
After hearing the results of their investigation, Xu Maocai nodded with satisfaction.
Xu Maocai felt that his youngest son was really amazing. Not only did he know that the inspector had arrived in Nanfeng, he even asked himself to investigate He Yi and accept bribes along the way.
"You two, find a way to continue the investigation. If you encounter danger, evacuate immediately." Xu Maocai looked at the two of them and said.
"Yes." The two of them handed over their hands and left the Xu Mansion at the same time.
After the two left, the old housekeeper Liu Uncle walked in from the front yard.
"Second Master, news has arrived from the north." Uncle Liu handed the letter to Xu Maocai.
"Has it been checked?" Xu Maocai asked, holding the letter.
"Yes." Uncle Liu nodded and said: "After careful inspection, we did find traces of manipulation. It is estimated that the content has been known to others."
"These people are really trying to kill my Xu family!" Xu Maocai was a little angry, but he still took out the letter.
After reading this ordinary letter from home, Xu Maocai felt a little melancholy, because the war in the north was about to begin.
"Second Master, would you like to ask the young master?" Uncle Liu asked.
"What can a seventeen-year-old kid know? It's better to talk to Fan'er about this matter. Maybe we can figure out something." Xu Maocai put away the letter and handed it to Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu did not refute Xu Maocai's words. He just took the letter and glanced at it.
In fact, he just felt that since the young master could investigate this, he must have preventive measures, but he was still a little young.
"Shall I deliver the letter to Shanyu County?" Uncle Liu asked.
"Well, send it over. It's not easy for my sister-in-law to take Hu'er with me." Xu Maocai sighed.
…
Two hundred miles east of Shanyu County.
Four carriages were walking on the official road. The first carriage looked ordinary, but the interior was extremely luxurious.
A fat-bellied official was hugging him from side to side, enjoying the service of a beautiful woman, and he was none other than He Yi!
He Yi's appearance is not ugly, but his triangular eyes do add a bit of ruthlessness to him.
"Sir, we will go around two more mountains to reach Shanyu County."
"Well, keep slowing down and just arrive before the sun goes down. After all, our magistrate Gou has promised to give him time to prepare." He Yi showed a smile of success, but his big hands were groping on the beauty's legs. With.
"Yes, sir." The person outside responded, and then made a slow-moving gesture towards the convoy behind.
While the convoy was moving slowly, a guard riding a maroon horse approached the carriage.
"Sir, the second batch of property has been delivered to the capital." The guard said with fists in his hands.
"Well, I understand, let's go down." He Yi said to the outside.
After the guards left, He Yi waved to the three beauties in the car. The three beauties instantly understood and turned to look outside.
He Yi took out his precious pen and gold ink and started writing directly.
"Your Majesty, the humble post has been transferred to Shanyu County, and the money from Nanfeng County has been collected..."
As He Yi quickly finished writing the letter, a dove flew out of the carriage.
Looking at the direction in which the spirit pigeon was flying, He Yi smiled and said, "Come on, keep going!"
After hearing this, the three beauties leaned over to serve again...
…
Three hundred miles northeast of Northern Xinjiang
Hu Shichang's team has arrived at Xingqing County. As for why he didn't go directly to Bingdaokou, it was because he was waiting for a letter from above!
As he enjoyed himself every day, Hu Shichang felt that this kind of life was very good. At least he didn't have to go back and face the tigress at home.
Although Hu Shichang was born as a scholar, his wife was the daughter of the Gu family!
He did not achieve his current status by himself, but was given by the Gu family.
Think about it, if a Jinshi ranked at the bottom has no one to run it, how could he be appointed?
Although Hu Shichang is not as knowledgeable as his fellow Jinshi scholars, he is good at flattering others and knows how to observe people's emotions. Such a person can definitely get along in the officialdom.
"Sir, the things have been sent to Gu's house. This is what Mr. Gu asked me to bring back." A messenger bowed and presented a wooden box.
Hu Shichang took the box and inspected it carefully. He found that the box had not been opened, so he opened the paint and lock on it.
But just as he was about to open the box, he stopped and looked at the messenger.
The messenger understood and quickly left the room.
After the messenger exited, Hu Shichang slowly opened the wooden box, and there was another wooden box inside.
Hu Shichang was not surprised by this because he had long been used to it.
After checking again, he found that the paint on the wooden box inside was intact. Hu Shichang immediately opened the wooden box inside.
A green tiger-patterned jade pendant, a letter!
Hu Shichang put away the jade pendant and opened the letter...
The content of the letter is very complicated. Ordinary people may read it and think it is just a few words of concern, but the real content is the last word of each sentence. And if you link these words, it will be serious!
After reading the contents of the letter, Hu Shichang immediately took out the fire seal and burned it.
After it was completely turned into dust, Hu Shichang poured the dust into the water cup.
Hu Shichang picked up the dark gray drink and drank it all with a sinister look on his face!
After waiting for a while, he walked out of the room as if nothing happened.
"If you ask Bao Qian and others to go to Bingdaokou, tell me that I will go there in three days." Hu Shichang said to the messenger.
"Yes, sir." The messenger clasped his fists and left the inn.
After the messenger left, Hu Shichang wandered around in front of other subordinates before leaving.
After returning to the room, he opened the window, jumped lightly, rode on the wind, and flew towards the north direction of the military crossing.
He is not only going to Bingdaokou in advance, but also flying over Bingdaokou to one of the three towns in Northern Xinjiang!
Hu Shichang's flying speed was dozens of times faster than Xu Que's, and he disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, Hu Shichang landed at the foot of Niutou Mountain to the west of Wutong Town.
Seeing no one around, he took out the fire signal and detonated the signal into the sky.
Light blue dust floated in the wind, and a middle-aged Confucian general wearing white armor came through the air.
"I've seen the general!" Hu Shichang bowed.
"Why are you here?" the Confucian general asked.
Although this man is a Confucian general, the scars on his face make him look ferocious and terrifying, and this man is Ugeda, the general of the Beimang Kingdom conquering the south!
