With Guo Fengxiao's statue as a shield, the goods of the Guan family passed through the nameless mountain smoothly, Qiao Shenming's worries could not be ignored, with his idea, Guo Fengxiao really wanted to knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach this time.

Since ancient times, officials and bandits have not been separated, Guo Fengxiao, as the head of a town, not only did not go to suppress the bandits, but for the sake of personal grievances, he aided the gang and secretly united with the bandits to intercept the people's goods, which is really shameful.

He Xiu used a trick to smash Guo Fengxiao's wishful thinking, and he was afraid that after knowing this news, he would hate the Guan family even more.

I can't take care of these things now, and the most important thing at the moment is to personally deliver this convoy of goods to Sioux City safely.

He Xiu personally escorted the team not only to give Guo Fengxiao a dismissal, but also to personally explore the business of Sioux City and see what more profitable industries could be done.

There are still seven days away from Sioux City, according to the time of departure in advance, he can easily reach the destination, for the sake of safety, He Xiu decided to camp every day, at sunset, to nourish his spirit, and then go on the road the next day.

During this period, He Xiu arranged three shifts of guards to prevent the appearance of bandits, so as to respond as soon as possible.

Early in the morning of the second day, Qiao Shenming personally arranged for the staff to cook, and after everyone had filled their stomachs, they returned to the carriage in charge and set off with whips.

Qiao Shenming has followed Guan Kaihui to the north since he was a child, and he is very familiar with this route, so in the process of traveling, whenever he encounters local geographical indications, he gives him a detailed explanation, and He Xiu admires Qiao Shenming's erudition very much.

On the sixth day of the march, the convoy was stationed outside the east gate of Sioux City, and He Xiu asked these families to rest for a day, and repeatedly told them to work hard when they entered the city tomorrow, and inserted the registration of the Guan family in the most conspicuous place in the convoy, so that the people of Sioux City could get to know the Guan family well.

Early tomorrow morning, the family members have changed into new and consistent clothes, the spirit of the highest highest, according to He Xiu's instructions, from the east gate to enter, He Xiu's mood is also very excited, sitting on the white horse, seriously fiddling with their hair, the waist board to the straightest, walking in the first place in the convoy.

Before he felt that his legs were weak, a large city gate made of blue bricks fell into He Xiu's eyes.

He saw that this city gate was indeed much more magnificent than any of the four gates in Qiman Town, and the people waiting for the guards at the city gate were nearly ten times more than that of Qiman Town, and these people were also dressed much better than the people of Qiman Town.

He Xiu saw that there were also many convoys pulling goods in front of him, and they were all queuing up on the right side of the city gate to wait for inspection, and then he also consciously ordered the convoy to wait on the right.

In the process of waiting, He Xiu vaguely heard the content of the chat in the crowd on the left, as if a very important person was going to visit Sioux City today to inspect the local people.

Only then did he understand the situation in front of him: "Brother Qiao, we have weapons on us, so we won't be misunderstood by these guards, right?"

"No, have you seen our registration? That is our best certificate, although the Guan family's business is said to have not reached Sioux City, but the name has long been resounded here. ”

With Qiao Shenming's reassurance, the family with weapons in the convoy also breathed a sigh of relief, and the convoy in front of him quickly passed the inspection, He Xiu turned over and dismounted, with a respectful attitude and a modest expression, and patiently explained the purpose of coming here to the guards at the city gate.

But the soldiers defending the city were not interested in his words, but arranged for his men to turn the boxes on the carriage one by one, and when they found nothing suspicious, they let them pass.

As soon as the convoy passed through the arch, the noisy sound came, and the crowd on the left side of the road was also bustling, and the motorcade on the right was already beating the long queue, which was very crowded.

Qiao Shenming told him that this street is the second main road in Sioux City, which is specially used to drive foreign individual businesses and convoys and all means of transportation, and that non-local personnel and vehicles must be registered at the pavilion in front of them in order to go to the destination they want to go, and when they return, they must also get a pass here, otherwise when they go out to the city gate, they will be detained and executed as collaborators.

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, to further improve the management of public security in Sioux City, the management model of Sioux City has been imitated by many towns, and even the capital of Nanyang has implemented such a management model in recent years.

He Xiu admired the person who invented this management model very much, and learned from Qiao Shenming that the inventor was the current head of Su Cheng, Guo Fengyi.

For such a sensitive name, He Xiu guessed that this was another member of his Guo family.

Qiao Shenming told him that according to the local people, this person is both civil and military, has both ability and political integrity, is Xiankang, the proud protégé of Xian Kang, and he completely pursues all the purposes of Xiankang, but the specific relationship with Guo Fengli in the court has not been clarified.

Just when Qiao Shenming and He Xiu were going to solve all this, they had all registered, turned around the car, and drove towards the first main street.

Most of the people in this main street are gorgeously dressed, the shops are relatively wide, and all kinds of industries are endless.

It was not easy to reach the destination, and He Xiu looked up to see a five-story blue brick building in full view.

A huge gold plaque is carved with three large 'Cloud Carving Pavilion' wild grass fonts.

After straightening out his clothes, He Xiu strode into the hall on the first floor, and said respectfully to a shopkeeper standing at the counter, "May I ask this little brother, this is Jiang Wenge, Jiang Diandong's shop?"

"Exactly, this guest, you are also here to buy the statue of the first adult, but unfortunately there is no stock in the store now, and the supply has not yet arrived, so you have to wait a few days. ”

He Xiu explained to him with a smile, and the shopkeeper immediately asked him to drive the convoy to the backyard, and informed the manpower, checked the goods one by one, and after carrying out strict handover procedures, a housekeeper handed over the purchase money to him; "He Gongzi, it's too good for you to come, the people of Sioux City are about to go crazy, haha." ”

"Haha, big brother housekeeper, you have won the award, and we have only done a little bit of it, which is really not worth your words. ”

"Gongzi He, we are very satisfied with your goods, our Master Jiang specially explained that this business will only cooperate with your Guan family in the future, and please bother more when you go back." ”

"Definitely, definitely!"

"By the way, Gongzi He, you came at the right time today, and Lord Xian also came to Suzhou City today. ”

Since Xiankang calmed down the war in the country alone, He Xiu has taken him as a model in his heart, and secretly made a wish in his heart that if he can see Xiankang's true face with his own eyes in this life, death is enough.

After hurriedly asking Xiankang's path, he placed the convoy in an inn, and then crowded with Qiao Shenming and many people, waiting for the appearance of this great poet and great politician.

Nearly tens of thousands of people surrounded the north gate, and the head of the soldiers, who were responsible for managing the order of the scene, commanded the guards, separated the people from the middle, and forced out the road two carriages wide.

"Lord First!"

"Lord First!"

"Lord First!"

The people clenched their fists and shouted, and the warm atmosphere of the scene reached a peak for a while.

Soon, three columns of war horses came out of the arch cave of the north gate, and the warriors on horseback were each wearing dark and shiny armor, with a saber hanging from their waists, their heads held high, and their eyes looked straight ahead, as if they regarded all the people around them as decorations, and never looked at them.

As soon as the procession of warriors passed, dozens of generals in silver armor walked out fiercely, followed by dozens of sedan chairs of civil officials, all of whom opened the curtains and greeted the people warmly.

As the cheers of the people grew louder and louder, a scholar led a horse's head, a very simple carriage, revealing its head.

"Lord First!"

"Lord First!"

"Lord First!"

An elderly man over seventy years old appeared in the curtain of the carriage, waving enthusiastically to the crowd in thanks.

His skin and flesh are flabby, but his eyes are kind, his hair is sparse, and his beard is gray, he is such an ordinary old man who can no longer be ordinary, and he is receiving the glory that only emperors have.

Asking who in the world can afford such glory, it is none other than Xiankang himself.

"Brother Qiao, look, it's the first adult, it's the first adult......"

"Yes, yes, yes, it's really the first adult......" Qiao Shenming said excitedly than him, "I didn't expect to really see his old man's true face in this life, I really have no regrets in this life!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Brother Qiao, let's quickly buckle with Lord Xian!"

Most of the people present had already knelt down, and the rest of the people did not even have a gap to bend their knees, which made Xiankang in the carriage even more grateful.

Soon Xiankang's carriage drove past He Xiu's eyes, and his heart was also extremely excited; "Brother Qiao, look, Lord Xian is waving to us......"

Wherever Xiankang's carriage went, there was a louder shout, and the spears in the hands of the guards were about to be torn off by the people.

With the chaotic shouting, Xiankang's carriage had already driven into the city office of Sioux City.

But the craze in the mouths of the people still did not subside, until the mouth was dry and the throat was smoking, and they were reluctant to leave.

He Xiu and Qiao Shenming also returned to the inn.

"Brother Qiao, today's scene really makes my blood boil, Lord Xian is worthy of being the pillar of our Nanyang Kingdom, you see how much the people attach importance to his arrival. ”

"That's right, the ancestors gave up their favorite poems for the country, and put pen to paper when they were over seventy, which is really admirable!"

The two of them held a large bowl of wine in their hands, irrigating them into their stomachs one by one, and they were really aroused by today's scene, and they drank the three major jars of spirits in one night.

Qiao Shenming, who has never drunk a drop of alcohol, also made an exception today, and made up all the wine he didn't drink in previous years.

Early in the morning of the second day, he heard a lot of noisy sounds, He Xiu shook his cracked head, couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and after glancing at Qiao Shenming, he found that he was sleeping soundly under the table.

"Boom!"

The door was kicked open, and many soldiers suddenly poured in, regardless of the fact that they grabbed He Xiu's clothes and looked at them carefully, and Qiao Shenming gradually woke up after being slapped: "Big brothers, what's the matter?"

"Hmph, you all listen to me, from today onwards, you must not step out of the door for half a step, otherwise you will be killed!"

The head of the soldier angrily led the soldiers away, and with the sound of another door breaking next door, both of them were completely awake: "Brother Qiao, are you okay?"

Qiao Shenming kneaded his sideburns, bared his teeth and shouted: "This liquor is really full of energy, I should have known that I shouldn't have accompanied you to drink indiscriminately." ”
