Early the next morning, Xiao'er and the others set off, Shangguan Xuanyi sent her out of the city, and gave careful advice to the carriage along the way, Xiao'er felt that he was even more verbose than Liu.

Under Xiao'er's teasing gaze, Shangguan Xuanyi closed his mouth impatiently.

"Take care of yourself!" At the fork in the road, Shangguan Xuanyi said one more word, and then reluctantly glanced at Xiao'er in the carriage, then stopped the horse and let their carriage go first, until Xiao'er's carriage turned a corner and could no longer be seen, he took his men and horses to another road.

After the horse ran out of a short distance, Shangguan Xuanyi was still not at ease after thinking about it, and he said to Feng Yang: "Feng Yang, you follow the county lord of Rui'an to Shengping County to celebrate his birthday." ”

Feng Yang: It's a bolt from the blue! He also wants to go to war instead of being a guard!

The county lord of Rui'an is just returning to his hometown to celebrate his birthday, and there are several secret guards who follow him, what can happen!

Shangguan Xuanyi seemed to know Feng Yang's thoughts, and he glanced at Feng Yang: "For me, she is more important than anything else. ”

Feng Yang's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he lowered his head in shame: "The subordinates will definitely protect the county lord of Rui'an unscathed." ”

For him, the master's business is the most important thing.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded: "Go!"

The wind lifted the order and left.

Feng Yang came directly to Xiao'er's carriage and protected it nearby.

Xiao'er heard the sound of horses' hooves, lifted the curtain and took a look, and found that it was Fengyang, and was speechless about Shangguan Xuanyi's actions.

Feng Yang gave Xiao'er a salute and said, "The master asked me to protect the county lord." ”

Xiao'er nodded: "Thank you." ”

She didn't say anything to let him go back, anyway, it was in vain, there was no difference between one more person and one less person to "monitor" herself, forget it, no matter.

Seeing this, Liu smiled and said, "Xiao'er, the six princes are really interested in you. ”

In this way, she will feel at ease, and Xiao'er will live well in the future.

This is undeniable, Xiao'er nodded: "It's just a little verbose." ”

Liu and Yun'er both laughed when they heard this.

……

Xiao'er and their home this time is also light, Liu is holding Xiao Jingzhe with his two daughters in a carriage, Jing Rui and Jing Hao in a carriage, and the other carriage is loaded with some luggage and birthday gifts and other gifts, as well as a few guards, of course, Yangliu and Yangmei also went along.

In recent years, many main roads between counties have been repaired. Moreover, unless it is too dangerous to overcome, the main road is built in the shortest way in a straight line between the two points, so many official roads are built by opening mountains.

This greatly shortens the round-trip time between the north and the south, which brings convenience to many merchants.

However, some people have calculated that from the extreme south to the extreme north, the road and bridge tolls will cost at least three taels of silver! Walking through all the official roads in all counties of the country may not be enough for ten taels of silver.

The total income of road and bridge tolls in the past two years surprised the emperor, and he sighed that the road was really good.

It took them more than half a month to hurry up and finally enter the boundary of Shengping County.

In front of Xiaguan Road, I encountered another toll station.

Zhao Yong took out fifty yuan and lined up to pass the station, and there was a caravan on the opposite lane, a total of ten or two carriages.

Xiao'er lifted the curtain and looked over, just in time to see the leader of the merchant on the opposite side take out a tael of silver and hand it to the toll collector.

"Good luck, good guys, we're in a hurry. ”

The toll collector took a tael of silver and took the guard away: "Let's go!"

Xiao'er's eyes widened: according to the calculation of the overloaded carriage, one carriage needs to pay fifteen yuan, and their ten carriages only need one hundred and fifty yuan at most!

But the man gave a tael of silver!

If it is really a caravan, how much time can be wasted passing through a toll booth? There is really no need to tip so much silver!

Unless he wants to avoid the inspection of the toll collectors!

Xiao'er thought right, and the toll collector took the money and let them go without asking what was in their carriage.

Xiao'er looked at the slowly walking convoy and noticed that a horse-drawn cart had dropped a few grains of rice at the location.

Grain? Ten taels of grain in a wagon is quite a lot! But this makes it all the more unreasonable for the man to give a tael of silver for the road and bridge tolls.

Food prices have been falling for the last two years. Many people are self-sufficient, and even have surplus food, so the grain is not easy to sell!

It is unreasonable for a grain merchant to be willing to give so much travel expenses.

Besides, just the grain doesn't need to avoid inspection, the grain merchants all have the grain to lead, and there is no need to dodge so much!

The argument that you are in a hurry also deceives these toll collectors who are trying to make extra money.

There must be a demon when things are abnormal!

Xiao'er suppressed the doubts in her heart for the time being, and when their carriage passed the toll booth, Xiao'er said to Feng Yang, "Feng Yang, you turn around and follow the caravan." ”

The master said that for him, the county lord of Rui'an is the most important. In other words, he didn't care about anything other than to keep her safe.

Feng Yang didn't notice the unusual caravan, but he promised his master to protect the county lord of Rui'an, and he naturally ignored other things.

But Feng Yang's face was full of determination, so Xiao'er didn't waste her tongue, so she said, "Okay, Feng Yang, you come to drive the carriage, Zhao Yong, you go and investigate the caravan." ”

Zhao Yong: "Girl, the master instructed me to catch up with the carriage along the way, to protect you when you don't have to hurry, and don't worry about anything else except your business." ”

Xiao'er was speechless when she heard this, looking at the sky, needless to say, those secret guards are not going to investigate, Shangguan Xuanyi, why don't you send a few more people to use for yourself! As for the guards in her own house, Xiao'er shook her head, in the end, her skills are not as high as others!

It's really when people use it, they hate less!

Yang Liu couldn't help but smile when she saw Xiao'er's aggrieved expression on her face: "Girl, the sixth prince is most concerned about the girl's affairs, and his arrangements must be thorough, the girl just needs to give orders." ”

Since Shangguan Xuanyi arranged for people to protect herself, those people naturally had to listen to her own words, if she didn't listen, she just had to take him away!

So Xiao'er cleared her throat and said majestically: "Zhao Yong, I'll leave it to you to find out what is wrong with that caravan!"

Zhao Yong has the heart to kill Yang Liu! Doesn't she know what it means to have more than one thing to do less?

This time, the most important thing is to reach it safely and return safely!

According to his years of experience as a coachman, the girl is a person who can get into trouble even if she has nothing to do, not to mention that she has to take the initiative to cause trouble!

It's really not at all!

Zhao Yong resigned himself to running errands.

Xiao'er looked at Zhao Yong's death-like appearance and smiled: "Yang Liu, Zhao Yong probably wants to kill you." ”

Yang Liu: "Don't worry, girl, he won't dare." ”
