There is no decent so-called official business, the only thing that can be called is Ruan Bai's casual walk...... Ahem, the world walks.

This time the trip was not as light and simple as before, and there were fifty or sixty escorts and servants accompanying him. Coupled with all kinds of daily necessities, the convoy lined up all the way, attracting the attention of countless people.

Even Ruan Tuhao felt a little embarrassed to show off his wealth like this: "I brought so many people over, our family is so big, there is no place to arrange it." ”

Chu Hao glanced at him strangely: "There is a place in the Thousand Households Mansion. Last time I went back, I asked General Cao to give me the house next door, and you can work there in the future...... Do you still want to live in a caravanserais? ”

That's right, he's now the head of the General Post Office, not the head of the sub-office. I don't know which one will take him over as a postman?

"Then you will go back this time or be a thousand households?" With his understanding of Chu Hao, it shouldn't be so simple. Don't look at this guy who looks honest, but he has a lot of eyes! Hiding it from him along the way, he must have secretly planned a lot of unsightly things behind his back.

Chu Hao replied very briskly this time: "The government affairs of Shunyang Pass will be handed over to me." After that, General Cao was only responsible for military affairs. ”

Ruan Bai looked at him with distrust: "What about deceiving children? How much government affairs can be in Shunyang Pass? When I haven't done it, have I? ”

The surrounding villages and towns have their own functions, and aside from the war period, they are only theoretically under the jurisdiction of Shunyangguan in peacetime. To put it bluntly, Shunyang Pass only collects some taxes and grain and grass from it. Even in times of war, these villages and towns did not play much of a role, and even before they were a bit of a self-defeating figure.

When it comes to government affairs, if it is a big move, it can also be moved. With Chu Hao's status and status, even if he pushed the setting of the entire Shunyang Pass to a new one, no one dared to say a word. But for such a trivial matter, does Chu Hao need to sit in Shunyang Pass?

Chu Hao sold Guan Zi firmly, and he didn't see any action, he sat directly behind Ruan Bai and hugged the person in his arms: "I didn't lie to the child, I lied to the puppy!" ”

Ruan Xiaopu rewarded Chu Hao with a slap, but he didn't refuse his closeness, leaned back slightly, and handed over the weight of his entire body.

Chu Hao didn't persuade Ruan Bai to go back to sleep in the carriage. The official road was not smooth, the carriage was even more bumpy, and there were many goods in it, which did not allow people to rest well.

Obsidian carried a heavy guy on his back, and his nose snorted fiercely, especially wanting to kick his hooves to get Chu Hao down. But there is still Ruan Bai on his back......

On the other hand, the horse, which had no owner, was grabbed by the reins by the big white dog and trotted all the way in the middle of the group.

The big snow-white dog is very strikingly large, and with its thick fur, it looks like a foal. The border soldiers who have been dealing with the grassland all the year round have never seen this kind of big dog before the third family, and these people who came from Xijing are even more ignorant.

At the beginning, the timid ones were scared by Xue Xue and their legs were weak. But within a few days, they found out that Xue Xue was actually a little bigger, more coquettish than a little milk dog, and could also pat on the back.

When Ruan Bai woke up, Xishan City was already in sight.

With its back to the West Mountain, this city looks very hideous, not as docile as other cities, but like a monstrous beast lying on its stomach, ready to attack and kill.

Chu Hao tutored Ruan Bai for a history lesson: "At the time of the founding of the country, this place was the western border of our dynasty. From Xishan to Shunyang Pass, there is a country called Shao. Shaoguo has a small number of people, is good at hunting, and knows the nearby mountains and forests well. They connected with the Huns many times and attacked our Great Zhou, but in the end they were destroyed by the Huns. However, the Huns' horses were not adapted to the mountains and eventually retreated to the steppe. ”

This is a majestic city that has devoured countless flesh and blood!

"To this day, Xishan City is still a fierce people, and the law is strict. In addition to the fact that commerce is very developed, it can be said to be one of the safest cities in Dazhou. That's why I recommended Liniang and them to come here at that time, after all, if a few girls' families want to make a living alone, I'm afraid it's not easy to make a living elsewhere. ”

In fact, in terms of the current social environment, it is not easy for girls to go out to work. Even some elderly women have to be said behind their backs when they go out to work, and the pressure on young and unmarried girls can be imagined.

The security and folk customs of Xishan City only made them feel a little better, but they could not help them completely avoid such social pressure.

In fact, even if Li Niang and her sisters have gained a firm foothold in Xishan City, and their business is not bad now, they can't avoid some second-rate people coming to make trouble.

Those who flirt with girls, those who come to make trouble, and those who are crowded out by their peers, almost every month Li Niang has to clean up two or three people. She was used to being smashed on the door as soon as possible.

The door panel is strong, but it can't withstand the axe chopping. In a matter of moments, a hole had been cut in the door panel, and it was then kicked off, revealing a "door" for one person to enter and exit.

With the door panels shielding, the light inside the shop pù is dim, and now it is approaching evening, and the surrounding shops are already closed, and the lively street market during the day is now deserted.

On weekdays, the patrol has to spend at least three quarters of an hour to get here.

In the short time that Li Niang thought about it, there were already five or six strong men in the hole that was broken, which was completely different from the second-rate people she usually dealt with, and she understood that this time she had encountered hard stubble.

She didn't stand inside the shop, but when she heard the noise, she walked inside. Now that she could see who was coming, she quietly locked all the doors that could be locked. But I knew in my heart that a few locks couldn't stop the gangsters with murder weapons at all.

Aunt Ma held two kitchen knives in her hands, startling Liniang who turned around. She didn't know what she was murderous, and her voice was not much better than that of a mosquito, and she said, "How many people are there?" Let's go and cut them down. ”

The corners of Liniang's mouth twitched, let go of the blade of the kitchen knife, and pulled Aunt Ma inside: "This time people are different from before." With an axe in his hand. "The people who came before were all bare-handed, and they all had a bit of fist and foot kung fu in their hands, and they didn't practice for a long time, and they couldn't stand the master who taught them. After arriving in Xishan City, they studied more diligently. It is obviously impossible to go outside for laps, but the training equipment at home is still set according to the pattern given to them by Ruan Bai.

They don't know how good they are, they just think they have more skills for self-defense. However, the second-rate sons who were taught by them knew very well. In fact, second-rate people are also very capable of fighting, if they don't dare to fight more than ordinary people, what will they eat in this line of food? Especially in Xishan City, where the management is so strict, before they met Li Niang, they were also feared!

The six menacing strong men may make ordinary girls frightened, but for girls like Liniang and Ma Damiang, who escaped from the Huns, they are only a little nervous, and they are not so afraid, let alone panicked.

Li Niang was very calm and calm: "I'm worried that there are more than a few people coming, and I don't know if there will be other people around." ”

Thanks to good business habits. Every day when they close the store, they move all the goods back to the warehouse, and now the store is only empty shelves. As long as people are okay, the loss of property can always be recovered.

Therefore, even if the sound of ping-pong smashing came from the front, Li Niang didn't move her eyebrows.

Aunt Ma carried two kitchen knives: "I'll take a look." ”

"Be careful." Li Niang instructed, in fact, Aunt Ma's kung fu is better than her, but her hands are too heavy, and the wooden stakes used to practice at home don't know how much she has broken. If it's a villain against Aunt Ma, I'm afraid it's the other party who should be careful, right?

The shop pù is actually a three-entry courtyard. The first entrance is the shop along the street, the second is the place where the girls live and the warehouse, the third is the kitchen and the like, in addition to the various equipment that the girls do handicrafts and practice martial arts on weekdays. The third entrance is also connected to a small courtyard with some common vegetables, and outside is a fence that has been re-raised and reinforced.

Aunt Ma stepped on a branch in the middle of the yard and flew out of the wall more than a foot high with a slight jump. She was already petite, wearing a goose yellow spring shirt, like a flower blooming.

The two strong men guarding the back door were stunned for a moment, and then one lost consciousness. The other reacted a little quicker, avoiding the flying kick, the sharp wind of his feet made him dare to hurriedly reach out to block, and the next moment his arms were in sharp pain as if they were broken.

The strong man couldn't help but curse secretly. The news they got just said that there was a beautiful girl in this store who was very good at fighting, but they didn't expect there to be another one.

Aunt Ma's movements are very fast, she looks very light, but her shots are extremely heavy. The strong man was forced to be clumsy, and he didn't even have the strength to call for help, and soon he was punched and kicked several times, and the knife was hanging on his waist, but he didn't even have the strength to pull it out.

On the other hand, Aunt Ma, in the gap between beating people, intentionally or unintentionally stepped on the strong man who fell to the ground, stepping on two feet to ensure that he could be unconscious.

The fight was like dancing, so that the men passing by were stunned. Until Aunt Ma put down the strong man and raised her eyes to look over. The man chuckled in his heart.

The sixteen or seventeen-year-old little girl with a flushed face said softly: "Are you an official?" These are two bad guys......"

The man was wearing an official uniform, but Aunt Ma didn't recognize it, she only knew that it was an adult, took out a roll of string, tied the two strong men strongly, carried it to the man and put it down, blushed and stammered: "Handover, handed over to the adult." ”

After speaking, Aunt Ma wanted to turn around, but when she thought it was wrong, she pointed to the front door: "My lord, there are six more in front, wait for me to tie them up and hand them over to you." ”

Only then did the man come back to his senses, and hurriedly dismounted and followed him into the alley, and went around the front door: "Don't worry, girl, it's good to hand over the villain to the government." ”

He ran very fast and soon overtook Aunt Ma. After a short distance, I heard a lot of movement inside, and a broken hole in the front door was obviously cut out by a sharp weapon.

Anger rushed up directly, he pulled out his knife, but he wanted to see who was so bold that he dared to commit murder in Xishan City!

"Wang!"

Xue Xue took the lead and walked majestically at the front of the team.

Aunt Ma turned a corner when she was about to go in, and looked at Xue Xue: "Huh? Why did you turn white, third child? ”

A huge convoy of horses stopped at the entrance of the store.

The man on the tall horse rolled over and descended, and his voice was cold: "What's going on?" ”
