The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
When Wei Li approached the city gate and raised his hand to signal the carriage to stop, his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Weeds are growing wildly, and there are no people around.
The breeze is colorless and soundless, but it brings a slightly dangerous atmosphere.
"I've been following you all this way, come out if you can. Why be so timid? Isn't this your territory?"
Wei Li spoke loudly and with great energy.
Xu Zhihuai could hear clearly even while sitting in the carriage. She looked at Zhu Xiuxing and saw that his eyebrows were calm and calm.
I think he must be prepared if he is determined to take risks.
Wei Li had long noticed that someone was following them, but the group of people was neither close nor far away from them. They neither took action nor made any public announcements, but just stared quietly.
After he finished speaking, there was indeed movement in the grass.
Several strong men in burlap clothes appeared from all directions. They wore hats and tied their hair. They had no weapons in their hands, but had fierce eyes.
Wei Li glanced at them coldly and raised his voice: "Is it to rob wealth or to rob Tao?"
The strong men were silent when they heard the sound, but a word floated from the distance: "You are from the capital, right?" Following the sound, a young man in white ran towards him from a distance, his figure was light and neat, and he looked different. The flexibility of ordinary people. He is young and very delicate, but his eyes give people a fierceness that cannot be underestimated.
Although he was not wearing official clothes and his carriage and horses were not decorated, clues were still discovered.
"Where did you come from?"
Wei Li asked instead without answering.
"This is our young city lord."
One of the strong men shouted loudly.
Wei Li sneered: "Young City Lord?"
He deliberately turned around and looked at the carriage behind him, and sure enough he saw Zhu Xuxing lifting the curtain and looking over with a heavy gaze.
Wei Li continued to speak loudly: "Huainan is indeed a land of outstanding people, but there are people who dare to stand on their own and seize the imperial court's place? You are trying to rebel!"
"The Imperial Court! The people in Huainan are starving to death. That dog emperor is still enjoying the blessings in the capital. If we don't make our own decisions, are we waiting to die?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed.
They stopped talking until the young man in white waved his hand.
He looked at Wei Li carefully from top to bottom and said, focusing on the key points: "You are not an official, are you? An official from the capital?"
"We are from the capital."
Zhu Xuxing was the first to speak. He got off the carriage directly, tall and straight, and magnanimous.
Wei Li also quickly dismounted: "Master, these rebels will do whatever it takes, it's better to be careful."
Zhu Xuxing did not look at Wei Li, only looking at the young man in white: "We are here to find someone, Huainan Magistrate Xu Zhigao. I heard that something happened to him here."
For some reason, when the name "Xu Zhigao" was mentioned, their expressions changed and they looked at each other.
The young master in white asked, "Do you know Mr. Xu? Don't you know that he is dead?"
Now that he is dead, they still call him "Master Xu", which shows how much they respect him.
Zhu Xuxing replied loudly: "I know he is dead, and I also know that he died mysteriously."
Everyone was shocked again.
The young man in white immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Master Xu was killed by others, all by those dog officials!"
Zhu Xuxing listened carefully to every word he said and said slowly: "I will definitely seek justice for Mr. Xu. This is also the purpose of our trip."
"discuss?"
The young man in white was faintly angry and said with disdain: "We don't have to ask anyone for anything! Even the emperor, we are not afraid!"
They spoke more and more rudely, and Wei Li gradually lost his patience. Just when he was about to order a killing spree, Xu Zhihuai Yingying came over. With tears in her eyes, she said sincerely to the young master in white: "Master Xu, I am My uncle, we came all the way to Huainan to mourn him. There were many twists and turns along the way, but we finally got here. We hope that it will be convenient for all heroes."
The originally deadlocked situation was slightly eased by her appearance.
Xu Zhihuai walked directly around Wei Li, who had gloomy eyes, and trotted to Zhu Xuxing's side. Seeing him looking at him in surprise, he quickly gave him a reassuring look.
Xu Zhihuai's words were gentle and his eyes were filled with tears. When he mentioned Xu Zhigao, his unnecessary cousin, he burst into tears.
She said calmly that she and Xu Zhigao had not seen each other for many years. When their parents were still alive, they still communicated through letters. After their parents passed away, they lost contact and occasionally only had sporadic news.
This rhetoric is watertight.
Her surname is Xu and she grew up in Huaizhou. If there is such a person, you can find out by asking someone. In addition, Huainan is in such chaos that they dare to take the risk to come here because they have something important to do. After all, even a few people would die if they attacked and robbed someone by force.
The expression of the young man in white changed accordingly, and he obviously believed it. But he was very suspicious, especially towards Wei Li, the murderous look in his eyes was too strong.
Xu Zhihuai took the lead and pointed at Wei Li and said, "This is my cousin. He accompanied us all the way from the capital." After saying that, she gently held Zhu Suxing's broad sleeves and said shyly, "This is My husband... he is a doctor, he usually goes around practicing medicine and saving people, and I think he will definitely be able to help the people in the city."
This "husband" call was full of affection.
Zhu Xuxing's eyes flashed slightly, and his heart suddenly moved.
Xu Zhihuai is calm in the face of danger and has a eloquent tongue. Even though everything he says is false, he gives people a feeling of sincerity and credibility.
The young master in white hesitated for a moment, but did not let his men go, and only asked them to wait where they were.
Xu Zhihuai guessed that he couldn't make the decision. When he saw Zhu Xuxing looking straight at him, he hurriedly whispered in his ear: "Sometimes, lies are more useful than the truth."
Soon, the young man in white brought another person. He was a little older, with broad eyebrows and a Chinese character face. He was very well-dressed, but his face was haggard and he looked tired.
He stared at Xu Zhihuai and his group and looked at them carefully, and then said after a moment: "Many people in the city are sick and are in urgent need of doctors! You can enter the city if you want, but you can't get in or out here! No one can leave."
The sonorous warnings seemed to carry some kind of deep hatred.
Xu Zhihuai looked at Zhu Xiuxing. There was no fear on his face. Instead, he took a long breath and nodded: "Okay."
Compared with Zhu Xiuxing's seriousness after thinking about it, Wei Li was casual and relaxed. He had no expression and seemed not to care about the danger at all.
Seeing that the elder agreed, the young man in white immediately warned again: "Whoever dares to mess around after entering the city, I guarantee that you will die without a burial place."
Xu Zhihuai's eyes trembled. Seeing Zhu Suxing's calm silence, he hurriedly asked: "May I ask what the young city master's name is?"
The young man in white replied coldly: "Chu Feng."
Huainan, surnamed Chu... Longchang Escort Agency.
Wei Li glanced at Chu Feng with disdain on his face.
The world is declining, and even a small escort agency dares to dominate Huainan.
Wei Li ducked behind Zhu Xiuxing and said in a low voice: "Master, don't worry, there are our people in the city."
He didn't take these people seriously at all, and they could believe Xu Zhihuai's little lies, which showed that they were all a bunch of idiots.
Zhu Suxing's eyes suddenly dimmed: "Don't be impulsive. We'll talk to you first in the city."
He traveled thousands of miles and worked hard just to open the city gate of Huainan? Imperial grain theft, Xu Zhigao died tragically! All the truth lies behind that city gate. It's just that he doesn't know if he can bear it...
