Four hundred and sixty-two

"In front is Bai Li, the gate to the southwest border. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Xun Wenyu took the map and pointed to the official road in front of him and said.

"This is entering the southwest border?" Zhou Yanbo looked left and right, "There is nothing special about the scenery, didn't Jiang Yuezhi say that the scenery in the southwest border is exceptionally good?"

"In fact, the scope of the southwest border is very large, this range is not only a summary of the family forces that are now divided, but also a large part of foreign places, after all, there are many places that should have belonged to our side, but when the war is torn out, foreign countries will always pick up leaks, according to the information of the Xun family, if it is divided by the boundaries of the original southwest border, there are now two foreign forces: Jiaonan and Yunli, of which Yunli has picked up the most leaks, originally they were a vassal country before. ”

"So it's all over the place?"

"Yes, but I'm afraid the bad stuff is on that side too. Xun Wenyu is referring to the origin of the poppy, after all, it belongs to the local place, and there will be no such thing.

"Speed up!" Zhou Yanbo didn't seem to hear what Xun Wenyu said behind, "Since the good things are still ahead, what are you doing with all this time here?" said as he accelerated the carriage to the front.

"Hey, don't be impulsive, the southwest border is Wuyi and Jiazhou, and it's not okay to come randomly!"

Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them saw Bai Li's city gate, and Zhou Yanbo found that Bai Li's city gate was guarded by guards, as if they were checking on passers-by, wondering what might have happened. When the crowd slowly walked in, two people suddenly flashed out from the side, looking at the clothes that didn't look like ordinary people, but they didn't come to find Zhou Yanbo, but saluted Xun Wenyu.

"Mr. Xun, our family invites you to go. ”

"Who is your family?" asked Xun Wenyu.

The two of them glanced at each other, and the other person said: "Please forgive me, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient to reveal the identity of our family, but please rest assured, Lord Xun, my family does not have any malicious intent, I just want to invite you to the house as a guest." ”

"Guest?"

"Lord Xun. Zhou Yanbo, who was on the side, spoke, "Since the other party has been so invited, just go, there shouldn't be any problems, so that you can enter Baili as soon as possible, so as not to wait in line here, isn't it good?"

"Since Mr. Nine said so, then there shouldn't be any problem, okay. Xun Wenyu agreed to the request of the two people, and the two of them immediately took Zhou Yanbo and Xun Wenyu from bypassing the queue to entering Baili, and then walked left and right into an adult's house.

Zhou Yanbo asked Yun Yun and Lan to stay and wait carefully, he and Xun Wenyu entered the main hall, and a sitting person saw Xun Wenyu come in, and immediately stood up and saluted: "Li Yue, the city lord of Baili City, has seen Xun as the lord." ”

Zhou Yanbo changed his identity when he came out, so the city lords of all the cities along the road did not notice Zhou Yanbo's arrival, but Xun Wenyu did not expect this, and still followed Zhou Yanbo in his own identity, so even if he was detected, it was normal for Zhou Yanbo to find out, so he would let Xun Wenyu follow the two unknown people with peace of mind, after all, the people who intercepted and invited Xun Wenyu for no reason were only the people who knew his identity, except for the lord or the city lord, there was basically no one else.

"You recognize me?" Xun Wenyu said.

"Yes, the entire Li family knows about this matter, so let the city lords pay attention to it. Li Yue said that Bai Li and part of it to the south are the territory of the Li family in the south, and they knew in advance that Xun Wenyu was back, so they attached great importance to it, if Xun Wenyu was threatened in his own territory, he would have to bear the anger of the entire Xun family at that time, and the Li family knew very well that he could not bear it.

Xun Wenyu also understood what was going on, he almost forgot that his identity would have a lot of unnecessary trouble, but the matter had come to this, so he had to accept the other party's kindness.

"Then this is ......" only told Li Yuexun Wenyu that he would come, but did not say who would follow him, after all, Zhou Yanbo concealed his identity, so it was difficult for others to notice.

"In the next Fu surname Jiu Life, the name is Chiling. Zhou Yanbo saluted slightly and said, if Xun Wenyu was asked to introduce himself, he would feel very embarrassed.

"Nine Lives...... "No wonder Li Yue thinks Zhou Yanbo is very familiar, now compared to Zhou Yanbo's reputation, the Nine Lives Red Bell is bigger, after all, he appeared in Chiba Mountain City again and blocked the pursuit of Meng Sunying by hundreds of people with the power of one person, forcing the Meng Sun family to give up the idea of pursuit, so the portrait of the Nine Lives Red Bell is not a secret among the high-level of each family, to say that the only secret is that Zhou Yanbo and the Nine Lives Red Bell are the same person, except for the people of the Zhou family, only a few people know.

"It turned out to be the cat fairy, it's really disrespectful. Li Yue hurriedly apologized.

"He who does not know is not guilty. Zhou Yanbo smiled slyly.

"Since I've met the city lord, I'll ask by the way. Xun Wenyu said, because he had greeted Zhou Yanbo in advance, except for the matter of playing, everything was mainly Xun Wenyu, after all, Zhou Yanbo was the identity of the Nine Lives Red Bell, so it was not good to interfere first. Xun Wenyu took out something, which was wrapped in poppy husks and white powder.

"It's ...... Poppy?"

"You know?" Zhou Yanbo said with a smile as he looked at Li Yue, which immediately made Li Yue shudder.

Li Yue hurriedly turned his gaze to Xun Wenyu: "The bureaucrats here know this kind of thing, it's not a good thing anyway. It is not uncommon for people to see convoys transporting such things. ”

"Do you know where this thing came from?"

"Yunli and Jiaonan. Li Yue blurted out without thinking about it, "We won't get this kind of thing, first, we don't grow poppies, and second, we don't know this method of turning poppies into white powder, so this kind of thing can only be imported from foreign countries, as for where it is, we don't know." ”

"So are there any people in your territory who use this kind of thing?" Xun Wenyu asked again.

"Nope. ”

"Really?" it was Zhou Yanbo who spoke this time, and he deliberately extended his tone.

"It's true. Li Yue hurriedly explained, "We only allow horse-drawn carriages transporting this kind of thing to enter and exit, but we absolutely do not allow this kind of thing to flow into the people." ”

"It's really strange, since it is not allowed to be used, it is also allowed to be transported?"

"It's also helpless. Li Yue sighed," To tell you the truth, this kind of thing is very profitable, so I heard that some high-level officials of Jiaonan and Yunli are also secretly supporting this matter, maybe the kings of both sides have a supportive attitude, if this kind of thing is completely broken, it is equivalent to cutting off one of their financial routes, then the various forces in the southwest border are bound to fight with foreign countries, originally there is intrigue between various forces, how can there be spare strength to deal with foreign countries, so not only us, but also the forces to the south, as long as we pay commercial taxes and pass the territory safely, we don't care, but it is impossible to let this total thing be bought and sold with us。 ”

"The other side also seems to be sensible, and does not want to start a war easily, and as the saying goes, 'Rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest.'" If this kind of thing is made bigger, and the various forces are united, they will not be able to defeat them. ”

"Can you tell us this?" Xun Wenyu said.

"Lord Xun took this thing out, I already know what you are here for, you always have to know these things. Li Yue said and looked at Zhou Yanbo again, "And I don't believe that Lord Cat Immortal will not appear next to you for no reason." ”

"Think of me as a disaster predictor...... Zhou Yanbo thought.

After understanding the matter. The two of them said goodbye to Li Yue, but before leaving, Zhou Yanbo asked Li Yue not to talk about the fact that he was with Xun Wenyu, and he didn't want to be exposed to others so soon.

……

"What do you think of what Li Yue said?" asked Xun Wenyu on the way after leaving Bai Li.

"It's not like it's lying, and there's no need to lie. Zhou Yanbo replied leaning on the carriage.

"But if what he said is true, I don't believe it very much, this place is so close to Jiaonan and Yunli, it is really impossible for no one to resell these things privately. ”

"I don't believe it, 'rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest' is very reasonable, but 'near the water and the building gets the moon first' is also reasonable, buy from foreign merchants at a low price, and then sell at a high price elsewhere, these forces can also make a profit, after all, a foreign country is a foreign country, if there is no support from our businessmen here, how can it be possible to go to places like Jiazhou and Yunyu?" Zhou Yanbo said.

"What is the man hiding?"

"Not necessarily. Zhou Yanbo said and knocked on the carriage door, "Which of the two beauties inside handed me the pen and paper?"

Xun Wenyu didn't know what Zhou Yanbo wanted to do with the pen and paper, but after Lan sent the pen and paper out, Zhou Yanbo took out a very small notebook in his arms and opened it, and wrote some content according to the small book, and he saw some of it, but he really couldn't understand it, because the sentences he saw were a little incomprehensible.

After Zhou Yanbo finished writing, he put away his things, folded the written paper twice, and then took out a dart, this Xun Wenyu had seen the goose feather used by Su Yuer next to Zhou Yanbo.

Zhou Yanbo threw the goose feather and the paper to the side and inserted it directly into a tree trunk on the side, while Zhou Yanbo drove the carriage forward without looking back.

"You're ......"

"Lord Xun doesn't have to pay attention to it. ”

Xun Wenyu glanced back at the paper nailed to the trunk: "Then let's go straight to a foreign country next?"

"What are you kidding, we are out to play, why are you in such a hurry to rush towards Yunli or Jiaonan, slow down and enjoy the scenery is real, you don't want to rush back earlier to deal with those boring affairs, right?"

"That's right. ”

"So don't worry, let's play ours slowly. ”
