A gust of wind blew, and the scorching sun was obscured by dark clouds, which allowed the traveler to finally look ahead unscrupulously without being dazzled....

"In front of you is Liyang City.... The prefectural order has already arranged a place to live..."

A scribe rushed to speak loudly, which caused a burst of cheers from the crowd, but there were also impatience.

"Isn't it almost to Huangsha Road? ”

The person who heard it in front turned around and said, "Everyone has been on the road for a long time without resting... Although Huangsha Road is not far away, it will take a day to walk over in one breath, and I can't hold it anymore, so it is better to take a rest and arrive in good spirits, there are already many candidates there at this time..."

Everyone looked at each other, their clothes were disheveled, their faces were gray, and they looked sluggish and tired.... Where is there still a gentleman who should be handsome, this appearance in Huangsha Road is indeed detrimental to the image.

"Mr. Qingxia's arrangement is very good. ”

"It's called haste is not enough. ”

There was no objection to the praise of the crowd.

Xue Qing smiled later, turned his head and saw Pei Yanzi, among the grizzled candidates, the seventeen-year-old boy was long and jade, his clothes were as clean as his face, Liu Chunyang was also looking at him, and said, "Young Master Yanzi, how do you keep it as clean as taking a bath every day?"

Pei Yanzi said: "Take a bath every day." ”

Xue Qing laughed, speaking of which it was the first time for Pei Yanzi to go out and walk such a long way, it was really admirable, even those older candidates who traveled outside were a little unbearable, but he was always as free as when he first came out of the city.

Hearing the laughter of the young man, Mr. Qingxia in front of him glanced back, Liu Chunyang said that Pei Yanzi kept it well, Xue Qing was not, she was also going out for the first time..... The previous escape is not counted, in order not to attract attention, there is no special treatment for Xue Qing on the way, she is quiet and peaceful along the way, and her spirit is never tired, she is a few years younger than Pei Yanzi.

Mr. Qingxia nodded and said, "Let's go, it's going to rain." ”

The rain fell when a group of people stepped into Liyang City, Liyang County Commander personally greeted him at the city gate, shouted to Mr. Qingxia, and arranged to treat each other with a higher level than the post station, along the way to Chang'an's candidates have enjoyed this treatment many times, Mr. Qingxia students all over the world, during which they have also encountered other candidates, but they have never been rejected from making trouble, everyone is humble to each other, and the other party has deliberately let out the room when there are many people living in it...... It can't be so unlucky.

After a night of feasting and drinking, most people fell asleep tiredly, while Xue Qing pushed open the door and disappeared into the rain, Guo Zi'an sat alone in the room, looking uneasy.... Along the way, Guo Zi'an gradually realized that in addition to the identity of the woman, this Xue Qing also had other secrets.

Xue Qing did not walk out of the inn, and went back along the corridor, although the Liyang County Order gave preferential treatment to Mr. Qingxia and others, it did not expel the guests in the inn.... A gentleman wouldn't do anything that disturbed the people, and Mr. Qingxia wouldn't agree.

At this time, the night in the backyard is lively, the lights are bright, the sound of rain brushing can't stop the laughter and guessing the boxing order, and there is the sound of squeaking and stir-frying, Liyang City is still a very prosperous place.

A guy walked through the tray with a tray, and his voice was elongated: "... Little brother, borrowed and borrowed.."

The young man approached the side, watched the guy walk by, sniffed the aroma of the food on the tray, and was also aroused, and said in a loud voice: "... Room 28 also came with a pot of wine and two plates of meat..."

The man replied loudly, reported the room number, and kept moving forward, a scene that was commonplace, and the young man pushed the door into a room.

The indoor lights were bright, the windows were open, a man was standing by the window watching the rain, and the other two were sitting, and they all got up and saluted at this time: "Young Master Qingzi." ”

Xue Qing nodded to the three of them: "Lord Du, Uncle Kang Nian, Uncle Blacksmith." ”

Du walked over from the window and said, "Young Master Qingzi, sit down." "I didn't say anything like I had worked hard all the way, how could I care about these little things outside my body.

Xue Qing sat down outside the door and heard footsteps, accompanied by the woman's laughter: "Guest officer, the wine and food you want are here." The door was pushed open, and the green scarf tied her hair, tied her apron, and smiled Miao Miao came in with a tray and closed the door casually.

Xue Qing smiled at her at the table and nodded: "Sister Miaomiao." ”

Miao Miao grinned and curtsied: "Young Master Qingzi." So far, Xue Qing has not asked them to use His Royal Highness, and Lord Du has not insisted, after all, it is not yet the time to pay attention to this, and the title of His Highness will only cause trouble.

Several people sat around the table.

Miao Miao looked at Xue Qing and said with a smile: "Young Master Qingzi is in good spirits, Sister Ge doesn't have to worry at home." ”

Xue Qing said: "Only when you work hard to explore the road can you have a safe journey." ”

Du said: "We didn't do anything, the road was indeed safe, and even the black armor guard was nowhere to be seen." "But that's not something to be happy about.

Xue Qing sighed and said, "Then it seems that this time Huangsha Dao is mostly bait, they know that Master Du will come, so they don't even bother to do it, waiting for you to fall into the net..... Are you sure you're going to win?"

Miao Miao glanced at Xue Qing, this analysis Lord Du naturally told them, but he didn't say it to Xue Qing, just based on Lord Du's words, Xue Qing understood.... The reader is really powerful, and he thinks so much.

Du nodded with a smile and said: "I am indeed bound to win, because they are also bound to win, so this is a rare opportunity, even if it is risky, I can't let it go, since nine years ago Huangsha Road I have been in danger step by step, what to fear." ”

Xue Qing smiled and nodded, and said, "If they want to open a dungeon, they can only take advantage of the crowd in Huangsha Dao... Are they already there by this time? I don't know how many there are?"

Du said: "When I arrived, there were twenty craftsmen, pretending to be Song Yuan's entourage." ”

Ho, Xue Qing was slightly surprised, and said, "Song Yuan is here in person?" Isn't it claimed that he never leaves Beijing? ”

"They can't get it." ”

Is there any secret that has not been said? Xue Qing looked at Du and did not speak.

Du said: "Except for Your Highness, no one can open the underground palace." ”

Ho, Xue Qing raised her eyebrows and said for a long time, it turned out that it was not Du who they were going to trap, but her, this risk was even greater than she expected when she came, sad, no wonder Mr. Si Brown refused to accompany him.... What a death.

......

The night rain is getting heavier and heavier, the lights of Huangsha Dao City are bright, and the tired old tea soup boss in the simple tea soup shop outside the city looks at the city in front of him blankly, the last time it was so bright was nine years ago when the thunder burned the city.

“.. Have all the candidates arrived?" said a guest who was in a hurry and was blocked by heavy rain, "The city is so lively. ”

Another guest shook his head: "No, it's Lord Song, Yuan, and Song who have arrived, and the soldiers and horses have almost overturned the city, and Lord Song's residence is heavily guarded like daylight, and no one wants to take advantage of the night to get close." ”

The previous guest was a little surprised and couldn't help but smile: "Then Lord Song's location is also bright, and everyone can see it." "It's like a burning lamp, so that the moths can see clearly.

While they were talking, there was the sound of clattering cars and horses in the heavy rain, and there were still sidewalks in such a heavy rain so late? The three people in the tea shed looked and saw that it was a car and a horse slowly coming, and there was only one man accompanying the car, and the clothes were also a little shabby, and they looked very bitter.... Where are the poor candidates, they have seen a lot these days, because it is close to Huangsha Road, in order to save some accommodation money, they have to go forward in the rain.

The people in the tea shed withdrew their gaze and ignored it, and the carriage clattered towards Huangsha Road, as if it had never appeared. [.]
