After Chu Shuhuang and his party traveled westward for a few days, they confirmed that there was no tail behind them, so they formed a team of fifty people and began to gallop on horseback. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At this time, the weather is getting cooler, and the Qingchuan area has entered late autumn. Although smuggling outside the customs can be done at any time, I am afraid that the materials for those foreigners to spend the winter have almost been prepared. If you want to sell it on a large scale, you can't do it, you can only make two trips to the autumn breeze and get familiar with the situation.

Avoiding the city, crossing the mountains and mountains, taking shortcuts, and finally arriving at Ling'an City after more than a month.

Yeongan Castle is the gateway to the east of Cheongcheon, and all routes in and out of Cheongcheon pass through this castle, so Yeongan Castle is also a large castle of Cheongcheon. Every day, business travelers come and go, noisy and chaotic, but also bring prosperity to Ling'an City.

Qianpin took a dozen brothers to explore the road in front, and after entering Ling'an City, he found a clean inn and chartered it. After more than a month of running, everyone was very tired, Chu Shuhuang decided to let everyone rest here for two days before continuing to move forward.

They arrived in Ling'an in the afternoon, it was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the weather was already very cold, especially in places where the sun could not shine, and it was even more cold.

There was no earth dragon in the inn, and Qianpin specially asked someone to prepare a brazier for Chu Shuhuang. After bathing and freshening up, she rested with a bowl of hot noodle soup and didn't wake up until the next morning.

The brazier with the charcoal fire was in full swing and the room was warm, Chu Shuhuang nested in the quilt and didn't want to come out, and then thought of the special nature of Ling'an City, so he beckoned someone to serve her to get up.

Qianyun Qianyan was guarding outside, and when she heard the movement, she pushed the door in. While serving her to freshen up, he said: "Childe, the second son of Xu from the Jingyuan Marquis Mansion came early in the morning, and Commander Qin asked him to invite him to drink tea in the lobby in front of him. ”

The inn was divided into a front yard and a back yard, with Commander Qin leading his people to live in the front, Chu Shuhuang living in the back yard, and Qianpin taking people to protect the courtyard around.

"Xu Shixuan? Why did he come so early? Chu Shuhuang asked in surprise.

Although Emperor Chu notified the Marquis of Jingyuan, he traveled in micro-service. And even if Xu Shixuan greets him, there is no need to run so far, just send the people around him to run.

Qianyun Qianyan was not easy to answer, and Chu Shuhuang didn't mean to let them answer, so he continued: "You go and see if Commander Qin has arranged breakfast for Second Prince Xu, I will go out after breakfast." ”

When Chu Shuhuang went out, he saw a man in a dark blue woven gold flying flower brocade robe sitting in the lobby, his hair was like ink, his posture was like pine, and a jasper hairpin was dyed with a faint blue color, which made him noble and elegant, and he was elegant and dusty.

"I don't know that the second son is coming, and the second son has been waiting for a long time, and he is guilty of sin." Chu Shuhuang said politely.

Xu Shixuan turned around when he heard the voice, and arched his hand: "Childe is polite, I heard that you were here, so I came over early, how about the journey?" ”

"Let the second son bother, everything is fine, I don't know who knows that I am here so quickly?" Chu Shuhuang was very puzzled, he never revealed his identity along the way, even if he didn't see a few figures, how could someone recognize him as soon as he entered Ling'an City?

"Don't worry, it's none other than my little servant Kawatachi. After receiving the news that Childe was coming, he estimated that the time should be around here, so he sent Kawatachi to wait here. Last night, Kawatachi reported that it might be you staying here, and I was worried that you would get up early to hurry, so I came over early. After what happened last time, Xu Shixuan is not as polite and polite as before, and his words are friendly and casual, like an old friend who has not seen him for many days.

"Could it be that the second son also lives in this Ling'an City?" Chu Shuhuang asked.

Xu Shixuan smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard to say in words, since you are here, you might as well have more pity on Qingchuan." ”

"The north of Ling'an City is perennially dry, the rain is scarce, and the people live in poverty. I'm going to build a canal to bring water from the lake in the south of Qingchuan. Although the role is limited, it can make the people feel better. ”

"The second son is young and promising, amazing and gorgeous, and a good life for the people of Qingchuan is just around the corner, where do you need me to come to the class to get an axe?"

"Okay, don't put a high hat on me, I still know how much ability I have, if you open more businesses in Qingchuan, the people of Qingchuan will remember your great kindness."

"Hehehe, since that's the case, I'll naturally do my best." She is here for business, but Xu Ergongzi, don't regret it then!

The two chatted a few more words, and Xu Shixuan offered to accompany her to the street.

Xu Shixuan said that she was traveling in Weifu this time, and there were many people who knew him after arriving in Yun'an City, the capital of Qingchuan, and I was afraid that it would be inconvenient to have more contact with her on the surface, so let's do the best of the landlord's friendship here.

Chu Shuhuang is also very interested in this big city where western businessmen gather, since he has this meaning, let's go together.

went back to the backyard to prepare, and then came out with Qianyun Qianyan, and Qianpin took someone to follow behind to guard.

Xu Shixuan's eyes flashed with a different color, and he walked silently beside her without words.

Ling'an City is very large and a little messy, not only bringing together all the goods produced in Qingchuan, but also the northern and southern business travelers, that is, the horsemen who do coolies, also gather in the west of the city, waiting for employers to select, and become an industry for the locals to make a living.

The two rode out of the inn, Xu Shixuan introduced her as he walked, and after turning around in Ling'an City for most of the circle, he turned onto the bustling main street.

This main street is two grades lower than the Suzaku Street in the capital, and the goods are not as expensive as the Suzaku Street. In addition, foreign things are not unfamiliar here, and you can see a few from time to time.

The two of them stopped and went, although Chu Shuhuang made people modify their appearance, it was still difficult to hide their appearance, and the handsome and elegant and extravagant Xu Er Gongzi next to him was indeed very attention-grabbing.

Today's Qingchuan can be said to be the territory of the Xu family, Xu Shixuan is the most noble son in Qingchuan, if he arrives in Yue'an City, coupled with his identity, he really can't be obscure.

"Are you tired, this restaurant is the best one in Ling'an City, let's go in and take a rest, and by the way, please try Qingchuan's mutton." Xu Shixuan's expression remained unchanged, and he calmly invited her to the restaurant for dinner.

Chu Shuhuang nodded.

Maybe he comes often, or maybe this is the Xu family's industry, Xu Shixuan walked straight to the third floor with her, but met a person when he turned the corner on the second floor.

"I've seen Xu Ergongzi." The middle-aged man about forty years old, with a beard, not tall but a little stout, immediately bowed down and saluted after recognizing Xu Shixuan.

"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Jia, why did Shopkeeper Jia come to Ling'an City?" Xu Shixuan was obviously not too familiar with this person, so he thought for a while and suddenly said. (To be continued.) )
