Qin Shaoyou and his party used the cover of the mimicry order to avoid disturbing the people in the city. After quietly leaving the city, they mounted their horses and galloped away.
If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would think that they had become thieves and were about to run away after stealing something.
It was only when Qin Shaoyou and the others put away the mimicry order outside the city and galloped away that the people of Mianyuan County saw them.
It was already too late to catch up at this time.
The people of Mianyuan County could only pour out of the city and wave goodbye from a distance. They still refused to leave until Qin Shaoyou and others were completely invisible.
The red-clothed envoy under Qin Qiaoer looked back at the people waving goodbye, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's really worth dying to be an official and do this."
As for Qin Qiaoer, she had already puffed up her chest proudly.
Her brother is loved by the people, which makes her feel proud.
After leaving Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou and the others did not take any detours, but just followed the official road towards the capital.
Zhu Xiucai had been asking Wei Tu for advice on "Shang Shu" some time ago.
Under Wei Tu's guidance, he not only clarified many issues that he had been confused about before, but also gained many new insights.
This greatly enhanced his literary style and allowed him to brag... No, he used the power of mantra. Both the effect and the duration were much stronger than before.
In order to catch up with Xue Xiaobao as soon as possible, after leaving Mianyuan County, Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai to hold "Shang Shu" and applied the mantra of "horses are made fast" to the horses they were riding, making them The speed of the war horse increased greatly.
At the same time, Cui Youxuan, Su Tingyu and other Taoist priests from Jade Emperor Temple also released spells on the war horses, allowing them to maintain strong energy and endurance even when galloping at high speeds, thus ensuring their endurance.
This spell made Zhu Xiucai look straight.
In the next few days, his attitude toward Cui Yougui was so warm and flattering that it scared Cui Yougui to the point of breaking out in a cold sweat.
Although they used the power of mantra, in the first few days, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer were still a little worried about not being able to catch up with Xue Xiaobao.
On the one hand, Xue Xiaobao and the others set off a few days in advance.
On the other hand, Xue Xiaobao also knows the power of mantra, and in terms of effectiveness, he is no weaker than Zhu Xiucai.
After all, Zhu Xiucai made great progress after consulting Wei Tu, and Xue Xiaobao was taught by his master personally and was Wei Tu's junior brother.
Hey, from this perspective, should Zhu Xiucai be called Uncle Xue Xiaobao? Should I call him Uncle Qin Shaoyou?
This generation has risen all of a sudden.
After several days of traveling, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they discovered that the distance between them and Xue Xiaobao and his party was constantly shortening.
Whenever they pass through towns or inns along the way, even if they don't go to stay, they will send people over to get information to see if Xue Xiaobao and the others have lived here, and when they lived here, so as to calculate the distance between the two sides. .
After several days of inquiring, they discovered that Xue Xiaobao and his party were not very fast.
Thinking about it, Xue Xiaobao was only recruited to the capital to enroll in the Imperial Academy, and he was not recruited to be a prince-in-law. How could he use the power of mantra to rush on his way in such a hurry?
Besides, with Xue Xiaobao's temperament, he would rather travel around and gain more knowledge than studying in the Imperial College. He wished he could walk slower so that he could see the scenery, culture, people's livelihood and government clearly along the way, so that he would not be in a hurry.
After thinking about this, Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but suspect that Xue Qingshan's real intention when he sent Xu Ba'an and his team to send Xue Xiaobao to Beijing was not to let Xu Ba'an supervise Xue Xiaobao and prevent him from running away and skipping school, right?
After all, Xue Xiaobao has a criminal record for skipping school and leaving home.
But no matter what, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer felt a lot more relieved as they saw Xue Xiaobao and his party getting closer and closer.
In the blink of an eye, they left Yizhou and entered Chuzhou.
Unlike the mountainous Yizhou, Chuzhou has many lakes and rivers.
If Li Erlang was granted the title of River God Shuibo here in Chuzhou, I am afraid that the power in his hands, as well as the speed of obtaining incense and improving his strength, would be stronger than now, right?
Looking at the rivers and lakes along the way, Qin Shaoyou thought in his heart.
Qin Qiaoer and the others took this official road when they rushed to Yizhou, so she and the red-clothed envoy under her were very familiar with the situation along the way.
At this time, seeing the sky turning dark, a red-clothed envoy rode up to Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer, raised his hands and asked: "Two adults, it is getting late, and there is a county ten miles ahead. Do we want to stay there for a night?" horse?"
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer whispered for a few words, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to that county town to stay, and ask Xiaobao and the others how they are doing. Let's see how many days we still have to go before we are away from them."
Qin Qiaoer smiled and said: "Calculating the time and distance, we should be able to catch up soon."
Qin Shaoyou said half-jokingly: "After we catch up, I have to teach that brat a lesson, which has made us struggle to catch up these days."
Continuing along the official road, a county town built on the water soon appeared in front of Qin Shaoyou and others.
At this moment, a round blood moon has also appeared in the sky.
Today's moon is exceptionally red and round.
The sky was about to turn completely dark. Qin Shaoyou and the others rushed into the city before the city gate closed, using their identity badges as red messengers to enter the city.
After entering the city, they did not bother the local Demon Suppression Department, but went straight to the inn in the city to stay.
Seeing the status of Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer's Baihu waist card, as well as the status of everyone's red-clothed envoys, Yi Cheng did not dare to neglect, and accompanied him personally throughout the whole process, with a respectful and cautious attitude, for fear that if he did not serve him well enough, he would offend these emperors. The personal soldiers brought great disaster to him.
Qin Shaoyou has seen too many similar situations along the way. At first, he would comfort these Yicheng so that they don't have to be like this. But later he found that it was okay if he didn't say this, but if he did, it would make these people even more nervous, so he stopped talking about it. Say it, let them do whatever they want.
After Qin Shaoyou handed the horse to Zhu Xiucai, he asked: "In the past few days, was there a group of people from Luocheng in Sichuan who stayed here?"
"People from Luocheng?"
Yi Cheng was stunned for a moment, recalled for a moment, shook his head and said: "To tell you what my lord, no one from Luocheng in the middle of Sichuan has stayed here in the past few days."
"No?"
Upon hearing the news, Qin Shaoyou was slightly stunned.
Qin Qiaoer also looked stunned.
If Xue Xiaobao and his party had stayed at this inn, then Yi Cheng would definitely check their identity and origin.
But now, Yi Cheng said that no one from Luocheng, Yizhou stayed.
However, based on Qin Shaoyou's calculation of the speed of Xue Xiaobao and others, they should be staying in this county.
Was there an accident?
Or is it that they did not stay at the inn, but went to stay at the Demon Town in the county?
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer looked at each other and saw a bit of worry in each other's eyes. They immediately sent someone to the local Demon Suppression Department to inquire about the situation.
