On the third day of the third month of March, the Qin Mansion held a funeral, Qin Yuxiao was so busy that he had no time to go to Shen Zhuru's courtyard, and the people thought that Shen Zhuru felt that there was a dead person in the mansion, and he felt unlucky, so he left Luohua Pavilion and went to live in an inn outside.

It was such a self-belief that after the first seven days of Hua Yingyue, Qin Yuxiao found that Shen Zhuru was gone.

And the only thing he could find was a piece of paper, which was already dusty, and it was written that Shen Zhuru was leaving, so that Qin Yuxiao didn't have to look for her anymore, just treat her as if she had lost him, and everything would end with Hua Yingyue's death.

Looking at the content of this piece of paper, Qin Yuxiao's heart can be imagined, it is full of sourness and nowhere to tell, so he can only put the letter paper in his arms and leave directly to Qiyang County to take up his post.

The carriage babbled on the road, heading for the Tianfeng Pass in the north of Yurui Country.

Along the way, from the prosperity of the initial singing and dancing, I gradually felt the tension that only existed during the war, and I also clearly felt the instability of the atmosphere.

"Did you hear that? The situation at Tianfeng Pass is tense now, coupled with the civil strife in the capital, when the prince seized the throne, this Chixiao country has already planned to start a war, although it may not be how long it will last, but at least it can fight as many places as it wants, this army is coming to the city, just waiting for an order from above, and the armies of the two countries are about to fight. Alas, once this battle starts, it will only be us people who will suffer. "In the restaurant, the closer the town is to the Tianfeng Pass, the more you can hear such discussions, which were just long sighs before, but I didn't expect that the same topic today has new content.

"Don't be so sad. Wasn't it a conscription before? I heard that there are still current martial champions who lead the top ten martial artists to train recruits. It has also paid off in the past few months, and once this man enters the battlefield, we are the one who is stationed. Even if the strength is equal, their Chixiao Kingdom can't help us. Worry less and live your life. ”

"Speaking of this martial champion, I don't know if you've heard of one thing?" A goatee man asked mysteriously.

"What's the matter?" Everyone couldn't help but be curious, and asked in unison in a rare voice.

"Our martial champion is a great person, not only strong in martial arts, but also brave and strategic. Do you still remember the mountains and mountains over there at the Tianfeng Pass? Where are a bunch of mountain people dwelling? Didn't you riot some time ago? Those generals also pondered sending troops to encircle and suppress each other. Who would have thought that as soon as our martial champion came out, he quickly found out the reason and solved the problem bloodlessly. It's funny to say. This mountain folk have been the best at some strange treatment methods throughout the ages, but I didn't expect that this time there was an unsolvable disease, and finally asked our doctor to help cure it, no. Then the turmoil will be over. I see. This martial champion is so powerful, the imperial court should give more real power, at least to a general, maybe once the fight with the Chixiao Kingdom starts, with the existence of the martial champion, we will soon beat the other party to the ground, and we dare not easily beat our Yurui Kingdom's idea. ”

"You're a good joker. The mountain people are mountain people, and they are unknown because of illness. The people's hearts are panicked before they start the turmoil, but the Chixiao Kingdom is not idle. The Lord who can easily do it with him to pass the time. You know, this issue is at different levels and cannot be generalized. However, this martial champion is also a strange person, wearing a mask all the year round, not showing his true face, and now the underground money banks have opened a gambling game, betting on this martial champion whether he is too good-looking to cover his face with a mask, or too ugly to face everyone. If you're interested, you can give it a try. Maybe you'll be hit. ”

"It's a boring gamble, but when it comes to gambling, there are really people who pay a lot of money to remove Wu Zhuangyuan's mask, and I heard that the highest price now is the eldest lady of the Yao family in Tianfeng City. As long as someone can remove Wu Zhuangyuan's mask, a reward of five thousand silver. Nowadays, many people are eyeing Wu Zhuangyuan's mask, instead of betting on good or bad looks, it is better to bet on luck, maybe five thousand taels is one of you. ”

Listening to such similar content in the inn, it is like a group chat, and the lively feeling is really surprising.

Shen Zhuru and Yueyang happened to be sitting in this hall eating in the dust, so they also stopped those words about Mu Fenghua in their ears.

"Miss, those people only know one-sidedness, and they wear such mysteries, which makes you laugh." Yueyang said with a chuckle, listening to the exaggerated Mu Fenghua's words, he was still quite proud in his heart, that is, the reward for taking off Mu Fenghua's mask, and the beauty and ugliness of the appearance under the mask of the gambling game, was really a little flattering.

"There's no need to be so nervous, it's fun to listen. You say, if we put your young master's mask next, can we receive the five thousand taels of silver reward from the eldest lady of the Yao family in Windy City that day? Shen Zhuru couldn't help but ask funny.

"Miss, don't get me wrong, the young master has nothing to do with this Yao family's eldest lady Yao Xiangling, it's just that this Yao Xiangling is too curious and has a lot of money in the family, so she is so idle and panicked to open this reward, you can misunderstand the young master." Yueyang hurriedly explained, for those people to talk about the matter of the eldest lady of the Yao family, I was really afraid that Shen Zhuru would misunderstand.

"Even if this eldest lady of the Yao family is really curious about your young master, it is not a big deal. My Fair Lady is a gentleman, isn't this My Fair Lady also a woman. Don't worry, I won't get anything wrong. At least this can prove that even if your young master does not show his face, he is still endlessly charming, and he can attract people to fall in love with him, what am I not happy about. ”

"Miss, but you don't like to hear this." Yueyang said with a bitter face, the more Shen Zhuru said that she didn't care, but the tendons that were about to break the chopsticks, no matter how sweet she smiled, it was also making her unable to put her mind at ease.

"Okay, just assume that I care. How far is it from the Tianfeng Pass, we have been on the road for almost a month, and it is almost time to get there. ”

"There are three more days to travel to Tianfeng City, the nearest Tianfeng City, as long as the young master does not go to train soldiers and horses, he will generally live in Tianfeng City."

"Then hurry up and rest, and hurry again tomorrow, and get to the place as soon as possible. It's good to see him soon. I don't know if your young master was surprised or happy to see me. ”

"Naturally, I am much more happy, Miss can find the young master in person, if the young master knows. Surely the whole person will float happily. ”

"Have you ever secretly sent him a message? Say my upcoming news? ”

"The slave didn't dare. Since the slave promised the young lady to give the young master a surprise, she naturally did not secretly tell the secret, and the young lady was relieved. ”

"That's fine. If I let me know that you told me beforehand, I would never see you again. ”

"Slaves don't dare."

"Let's go, let's rest."

"Yes, miss. The slave maid immediately waited for the young lady to bathe and change her clothes, and then prepared the things she needed for tomorrow. There will be no time delay. ”

"Good."

In the blink of an eye, three days have passed, and tomorrow will be the first day of the fourth month, and if it is changed to a new calendar, it will be the day of April Fool's Day. But there was no such festival in ancient times.

It's a little less fun.

"Miss, there is Tianfeng City in front." Yueyang sat on horseback and stretched out his hand to point to a huge city standing on the plain.

The surrounding area of Tianfeng City is mainly grassland, and the city walls are made of stones. It is hundreds of miles away from Heavenly Wind City. The topography of this unobstructed grassland looks very close from afar, but in the hazy place, where you can see the scattered yurts, but the terrain is dangerous, surrounded by mountains like a natural barrier, the pass Tianfeng Pass, which is the key to the border between Yurui Country and Chixiao Country.

Once the Tianfeng Pass City is broken, the Tianfeng City will be directly annexed and crushed by the army of the Chixiao Kingdom, and the long drive into the Zhongyurui Kingdom will not be able to resist at all.

Still, it's a long way away. It can still be seen that the prosperity of the Windy City is this day, at least what can be seen here is a peaceful scene.

"Huh. What is that? How could there be a hundred-strong group of people escorting a group of people to that side. It's not Tianfeng City at all, and it's even a little bit away. ”

Yueyang looked in the direction that Shen Zhuru was pointing out.

"Oh, those are all soldiers from the boot barracks, and those civilians are not prisoners, not escorts, they should be considered escorts. Eradicate the news that the slave maid got that the new barracks may not necessarily be very clever in recruiting cooks, at least the cooked food can eat people, as long as it is not unpalatable. These entourages are supposed to be cooks. ”

"Not exactly. You see there are seven or eight people over there still with shackles on their feet, just like the prisoners, are you sure you're right? ”

"This, maybe it happened to be a prisoner who came to serve his sentence, so it's good to catch up with the time and take it away like this."

"Boot barracks? If I'm not mistaken, isn't Mu Fenghua also in the boot camp? Why don't we ...... too."

"Miss, by all means. If you pass in such a hurry, you will be misunderstood. That's not good. If the young lady really wants to go to the boot camp and doesn't want to be discovered by the young master, she can go to Tianfeng City after the interview, and she must not take the initiative to send it to the door at this time. It is easy to be misunderstood as an enemy country with other plans, and it is not worth it. ”

"There's still a taboo. Forget it, let's go to Tianfeng City as soon as possible, and think about how to enter the new barracks without knowing it tomorrow. ”

"Yes, miss." Yueyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she was really worried that Shen Zhuru insisted on going, it would really be troublesome.

At the gate of Tianfeng City, now that it is approaching Shenshi, there are fewer people entering and leaving the city gate, but there are more soldiers who are looking at it, and the speed of Jin entering the city has increased a lot.

Just arrived at the door and waited for the inspection and entered the city, and when I raised my eyes, I saw that the notice on the side was written on the announcement of recruiting cooks, and the salary given was ten taels of silver a month, which was not high, but in the proviso below, the requirements for cooks were not high, as long as they could make decent meals, and those who passed the survey could be hired.

This is also a good errand for ordinary people, not to mention, there may be a reward.

"Miss, it's okay." Yueyang opened her mouth and found Shen Zhuru looking at the notice again.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Zhuru retracted his gaze and nodded, the two of them led the horse into the city, but the city gate was only generally reached, a team of cavalry rode horses, shouting to make people dodge, and suddenly people turned on their backs, if it weren't for Yueyang's martial arts, his hands were quite strong, and he dragged the horses to the corner of the wall, I am afraid that the horses will not only be shocked, but also cause unnecessary trouble.

Although the fault is not in themselves, but in the rampage of the other party, it can be reasoned with these soldiers, and it will only be the people who suffer.

Unless you can show Mu Fenghua's backer, it is better to keep a low profile.

"This is the third time today, this little overlord kills during the day, it's really a thing, such a bully, if you go slowly, you will be trampled on, and even your life will not be guaranteed. In the past, he was just a little overlord in the city, but now his father got him into the new barracks, got a position as a squad leader, and became a person in the court, which is even more difficult to offend. It's really hard to let people live. ”

"Don't say it. Be careful to be heard by the dog leg who killed during the day, otherwise it will not be good. ”

After the little people muttered a few words, they immediately fell silent, and they all thought they were unlucky.

Shen Zhuru thought about it carefully, the young man who led the horse must be the white killer in the mouth of the people, this name is really murderous, and I don't know what kind of character his father is, the murderous aura is so heavy.

However, it is not her turn to take care of these idle things, and it is important to find a place to live.

After entering Tianfeng City, he asked Qing that the better inn in the city was called Anping Inn, and Shen Zhuru's master and servant settled in this inn.

After some freshening, the disguise on his face was removed and his original appearance was restored.

After changing their clothes and putting on a black veil and hat, Shen Zhuru and the others went downstairs to eat, and it was only dusk that day.

Shen Zhuru was only halfway through eating, and there was a commotion at the door, and then he saw a black mask and a slender figure.

Shen Zhuru's gaze in the corner couldn't help but smile after seeing the person for the first time.

The familiar figure, although this mask has been changed in style, and a mask as black as black charcoal has been made, it can't change the aura emanating from his body, so that she can recognize her at a glance from a long distance.

"Miss, it's the young master." Yueyang exclaimed happily, but she didn't dare to scream too loudly, so as not to annoy Shen Zhuru, thinking that she was deliberately attracting Mu Fenghua's attention.

"I know." Shen Zhuru replied with a light smile.

"Hey, how could the young master be with the second young master of the Yao family. Aren't they always at odds? ”

"Second Young Master of the Yao Family?" Shen Zhuru couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and only then did her eyes turn to the emaciated figure that Mu Fenghua followed behind.

Looking at the black clothes he was wearing, she thought it was Mu Fenghua's entourage just now, but she didn't expect it to be the second young master of the Yao family.

"Miss, the second young master of the Yao family was originally going to enter the new barracks, but because of the young master, it was delayed for three months before he was able to enter, so this guy has always been unpleasant to the young master, and often fights with the young master, how can this follow the young master so quietly, it's really weird." Yueyang couldn't help frowning, his face full of doubt. (To be continued......)
