Guang County is one of the three rich counties. It is located in the middle of the northern part of Hanzhou in the southwest. To the east, it is adjacent to the wealthy Hanoi County and Anyang County. To the west, it is Anling County, the smallest among the six counties. To the south, It is Yongchang County.
Among the six major counties in Hanzhou in southwest China, Guangjun is only adjacent to Lijun.
However, due to the difficult roads in the mountains in southern Hanzhou, although Yongchang County and Anyang County are adjacent to each other in terms of territory, there is basically no way to communicate directly because of the mountain range that separates them.
As a result, Guang County has become a must-pass for traveling between Sanqiong County and Sanfu County, and it is an absolute transportation hub.
At this time in Fuyun Pavilion in Huaicheng, the old coachman had to open the door and politely invite the beauty in front of him into the room.
The beauty's smile remained unchanged, and she nodded politely to the old coachman before taking two steps into the door elegantly. Then she stood on the same spot and turned to one side. He only had eyes for the young man not far away, "Luo Brother Chuan, after more than ten years of separation, I finally see you again."
Luochuan was startled, clasped his fists and asked, "Yun...Brother Yun, have you ever seen me when I was a child?" He glanced at the old coachman who was closing the door in surprise, but didn't see any expression on the latter's face, so he went up In the first two steps, he stretched out his hand and guided the beauty to sit down at the table, then skillfully picked up the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea for her, "Brother Yun, I'm sorry, I've been to the capital since I was a child, and I can't remember most of the things that happened when I was a child. , It’s really..." He smiled apologetically at the beauty.
"It's normal that I can't remember. You were only this old when Aunt Yue brought you to my house. I held you and played with you all day long." The beauty smiled and stretched out her hand to make gestures, and then sighed sadly, "Now You have grown up, and Aunt Yue and my mother are no longer here..."
Luochuan lowered his head in silence and drank tea.
"Don't talk about these old things," the beauty straightened her expression, "Brother Luochuan just arrived in Huaicheng today, right? I heard that Zhongzhou is very uneasy now, and many of the hostages who returned from the capital have been poisoned. I I once asked people who went to the capital to pick up my brother to inquire about you, but they couldn't find you in their eagerness. It's really a blessing that you came back safely."
Hearing this, Luo Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "Zhongzhou is indeed not at peace now. Zhongjing City is especially chaotic. I also encountered a big demon on the way back. The demon comes like smoke and leaves like the breeze. It is powerful and terrifying. If it weren't for others, they would look down upon it." I, my little brother, even if I have ten little lives, I will give them to you there."
"It's good to come back. In today's world, being able to be safe is a great blessing, but..." There was sadness between the beauty's eyebrows.
Luo Chuan looked back at the beauty in surprise, "Brother Yun, what is it?"
The beauty frowned slightly and looked at Luochuan with a rather worried look, "Brother Luochuan, I hurriedly came from Jincheng this time to prevent you from going south and returning to Licheng."
Luochuan was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Why?"
"Because if you continue walking, I'm afraid your life will be in danger!" The beauty solemnly took out a bamboo tube from her sleeve, opened it with a slight twist, took out a note from it and handed it to Luo Chuan, "This is a The news from our Guang County spies is that some demon tribes in Nanyi have been moving recently, and they are suspected of having contact with people from Yongchang County. Then there is a vague movement of beasts in the mountains in the northern part of Yongchang County... Your half-brother My mother’s brother, isn’t he the grandson of the prefect of Yongchang County?!”
"But...but I don't want to argue with him. I...I have been in the capital for so many years, so naturally I can't compete with him. Why should they...?" "Luochuan looked obviously panicked, looking around as if looking for a life-saving straw.
"My silly brother," the beauty was slightly angry and scolded, "How can there be any reason in this power struggle since ancient times? Aunt Yue didn't get a status when she gave birth to you, but you can wait for Lijun After the old eunuch passed away and your father ascended the throne, he reburied Aunt Yue as a 'dead wife'. According to the clan's legal principles, you are the legitimate eldest son! Originally, it was just that you couldn't return in the capital, but now you have to go back Li Cheng, with the cruel temper of the old Yongchang County governor, it would be strange not to be cruel to you!"
"Then...then what should I do?" Luo Chuan first looked at the beauty across the table in panic, and then his eyes fell on the old coachman who was still standing at the door without saying a word, "Uncle Jiang. .....?"
The old coachman walked to the table, took the note from Luo Chuan's hand, looked at it, stared at the beauty's profile with a solemn expression and asked, "Master Yun, does he know that there are two masters of Wangchuan Sword Cultivator beside my master?" ?”
The beauty raised her eyes and looked at the old coachman and said, "I also know that the Dragon King Festival in Hanoi County was strangely advanced, and you rescued a woman on the Han River." He looked serious, "I can know that the prefect of Yongchang County will naturally know, even at night It’s never too late for something.”
The old coachman hesitated for a moment and then continued to ask, "Master Yun, you think we can't get past Yongchang County even so? You know, with the strength of our team, it is impossible to attack and kill us without making a big fuss. But Yongchang County and Li County have been friends for generations, and they openly killed a county prince, even if the Yongchang County governor was a lunatic, he probably wouldn't be able to do it."
"As long as you all die there, what does it matter about the truth? Then the prefect of Yongchang County can't argue that someone framed the blame afterwards? Or... someone really took advantage of the opportunity and wanted to frame the blame on Yongchang County? Li Can the prefect of the county use force against Yongchang County, a country he has been friends with for generations, because of suspicion? Or should he destroy his second son to avenge his eldest son?" The beauty smiled bitterly and shook her head, "As long as brother Luochuan dies, everything will end here, and no one will I will bear an unbearable price for this matter..."
The old coachman slowly shook his head, "For both reasons and reasons, I still don't think the prefect of Yongchang County would be so foolish as to take such a big risk. His grandson now seems to be clearly treated as an open heir. They have no idea at all." It is necessary to take such a risk, not to mention that the governor of Lijun is still in his prime and is not a fool. If they openly attack and kill my young master, it will be self-defeating. Not only may they turn against the governor of Lijun, but they may also cause his grandson to lose the position of governor. , as for other people who want to do such a big thing in Yongchang County and blame the Yongchang County Prefect, it is even more difficult..."
"In troubled times, the winner will be king. What reasoning can you tell me? General Xu, you are not even good at fighting on the battlefield, but now you dare to gamble with your son's life?!" The beauty seemed a little angry at the old man. The coachman was so stubborn that he couldn't help but raise his head and scold him, then turned to look at Luo Chuan on the other side who was obviously at a loss and said, "Brother Luo Chuan, I don't want to make the decision for you. I came here today to report the news just because of my late mother and Aunt Yue." Now that we have been warned about our friendship, it is entirely up to you to make your own decision!"
As the beauty spoke, she stood up and shouted, "Yun Er!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-faced old man who had been staying in the courtyard appeared one meter behind the beauty and saluted respectfully, "Sir."
Then the cold wind blew, and Luo Chuan realized that the window in the room had been opened at some point.
The beauty walked up to the black-faced old man and took off the long cloth bag from his back. She untied the rope and pulled the bag casually, revealing a long black sword!
I saw that the sword was four feet long and slender. The hilt was covered with dense patterns. The sword grid was short and integrated with the sword body. The texture of the blade was as fine as waves. There was a light golden light running through the spine of the sword. It was extraordinary at first sight. Taste......
The beauty stretched out her hand and handed the long sword to Luo Chuan, "Back then, Aunt Yue saved my late mother's life, but she also lost a good sword because of it. My late mother was still talking about it before she passed away. Now you are in danger, brother." This sword is given to you as a return to Aunt Yue on behalf of my late mother, you have to accept it."
Luo Chuan looked a little struggling, but after a moment he reached out and took the sword and saluted, "Thank you, brother!"
The beauty finally reached out and patted Luo Chuan on the shoulder, then turned and left.
Luo Chuan suddenly lowered his head and reached out to grab his sleeve. When the beauty turned around in surprise, Luo Chuan looked up at him with a slightly ferocious expression, "Brother, how do you think I can... return to Licheng safely? !”
