Shi Zhong and his party were faster than everyone expected, and in the evening of yesterday, they had already entered Chun'an County under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. After resting for the night in the post station outside the county and feeding the horses enough forage, early in the morning, the postmen had just gotten up with their eyes wiped their eyes, and saw dozens of people standing in the middle of the neatly dressed.

For them, the hardest time has passed, and after a long day of traveling, they can eat and drink, the horses are waited, and they can lie down on thin bamboo mats and sleep soundly, without having to be bitten by mosquitoes in the open air, that is heaven.

Everyone knows that after this Yanzhou, they will enter the Beijing Division, and even if the messenger of thousands of miles is handed over, there are a few days of playing in such a land of flowers, so at this moment, they do not feel hard at all, but full of energy.

"Brothers, I won't say much about it, in short, when I get to the ground, I drink and watch the drama and visit the kiln, and Lao Shi has all the benefits."

Du Tong gave a big truth, and the sergeants who were still a little worried were relieved, exchanging glances left and right, and they were all very excited.

Shi Zhong looked at this group of subordinates with satisfaction, he was in charge of the front scouts of Jiang Cai's entire army, although the number was not large, but all of them were elite. Therefore, this mission can only fall on his head in the end, which is the trust of appeasement, and he can only rejoice.

"Feed the feed one more time, escort the people out, and we'll be ready to hit the road."

Everyone agreed, and then they disbanded, and from the two side rooms, two people came out, both in shackles. One was unkempt and tall, the other was slightly neater, and his hair should have been combed, and the two didn't know each other, and they each looked at each other, and they didn't have anything to say.

With the help of the post boys, the sergeants quickly fed the horses, and the post men also ate by their eyes. Like this kind of territory close to the border of the Beijing Division, there are so many officials in the past, what kind of people have never seen it, the most unprovoked is such a military leader, there is no reason to talk about it at all, and they come up to do it, so when they encounter such a situation, they never dare to disobey, they just want to get rid of it quickly.

"Help them, everyone work hard, and you can rest in Lin'an Mansion today."

Shi Zhong jumped on his mount, stretched out his whip and pointed at it from afar, the sergeants were divided into two parts, each with a person, in order not to slow down the march, they were all equipped with horses, front and back, left and right, shackles passed under the horse's belly, if you want to run, it is impossible.

Walking in front was led by Shi Zhong himself, and they took the long man with them, and the man seemed to have accepted his fate, and he should eat and drink along the way, and never cause trouble, so the sergeants did not treat him harshly. Who doesn't know that once he enters Beijing, he will basically be killed by the entrance of the vegetable market.

Out of the post station, the front is the Xin'an River, cross the river on the official road, from the Jingshi is also a county distance, the rainy road is slightly muddy. As soon as the horse's hooves with iron palms stepped on it, it would bring up a clump of muddy water, and in a short time the horses that had just been washed would become muddy, but who cared.

As soon as he came out and started to march, Shi Zhong unconsciously entered the state, his eyes vigilantly observed the surroundings, and the more than 20 horsemen in front followed his speed, from slow to fast, and then ran on the official road at a uniform speed. And the other twenty or so horsemen in the rear are still on the ferry side of the Xin'an River at the moment, and they will not follow until he sends out the order.

This kind of caution has been implemented since the beginning of Qiongzhou, for this reason, they did not hesitate to bypass the Fujian Road, through Jiangxi into western Zhejiang, all the way is safe and sound, even the little thief who robbed the road have encountered one.

Now that it is close to Jingshi, it should be safer according to reason, but Shi Zhong has always refused to relax, and the scout horse has been released for three miles, three to five miles away from each other, and he has been contacted by walkie-talkie, and he has been struck by lightning and persevered.

Jiang Cai has always been extremely strict in governing the army, even if he is his own son, he is not merciful, Shi Zhong can get so much trust from him, it is this consistent spirit of law, not just the affection of the old brother.

After Chun'an, there is Fenshui County in front, which is the last stop to enter the Beijing Division, where the most resting foot, Shi Zhong's expected camp is Xincheng County in Lin'an Prefecture, which is just a day's journey.

At the same time, Li Shiyi, who was in Jiangzhou City, also got up early, he barely slept last night, if it weren't for the curfew in the city, for fear of alarming the defenders, he would have wanted to go everywhere overnight to investigate, fortunately, after one night, no bad news came, which means that they haven't had an accident yet.

"Let the brethren go their separate ways, and don't let go of all the places where people can live, including tiles and green buildings."

After finishing speaking, he added, although it was a bit unbelievable for the two women to visit the Qinglou, but in line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than let go, Li Shiyi still emphasized that the longer the time dragged on, the more dangerous they became, and they had to make the scope larger.

There are only a few dozen people in total, and this already includes the manpower temporarily transferred from Jiankang City, and even the black bull that was put on the Marshal's Mansion has been pulled, but there are hundreds of inns and wine shops scattered all over the city, how can it be taken care of one by one in a short time.

Li Shiyi himself is not idle, the inn where he settled is the largest in the city, if the pheasant sisters want to find a clean and comfortable place to live, this is the best choice.

Unfortunately, it backfired, and the account clerk in charge of registration listened to his description and shook his head resolutely, not to mention two men and two women, even two men and two women There are few pairs in total, and there is no such thing as what he said.

"What about the four men?"

Li Shiyi's question made the tent room stunned, and he couldn't help but raise his head to look at him, wearing a silk gown, a jade belt tied around his waist, and an emerald green wrench on his hand. He has been working in the inn for many years, and he has seen a lot of people who have traveled south and north, and this is a visitor from the north at a glance, who knows if there is any great back ~ scene behind.

"If the guest officer is in a hurry to find it, the little one can introduce the head catcher in charge of the local area to you, he has a wide range of contacts, as long as he is on this ground, there is no one he can't find, how about it?"

As soon as he heard the first two words, Li Shiyi lost interest, what is the difference between asking them for help and directly suing the official? Seeing that there was no news here, he walked to the store, found a table and sat down, no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't show where would these two women go? Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heart moved.

Of course, the pheasant slaves didn't know about this, and when Li Shiyi and the others were looking for their whereabouts everywhere, the two women had already retired from a small inn and came to a street corner.

"Sister, that is the governor's mansion, the former state office."

The pheasant slave wearing a bamboo hat looked at the Yuanren flag fluttering on it, and took a sip of "puff", which was sideways, in the direction of the yamen, and another companion was staring there. He pretended to be a melon farmer, with a few slices of gourds in his burden, shouting from time to time, and he couldn't recruit a few in business, but his eyes were not idle for a moment.

"Did you find anything last night?"

"The guy left the house very late, and strangely, he didn't go home, but went to an alley, and with a team of sergeants, he blocked the mouth of the alley. By this morning, they had come straight from the alley, and they had not gone out yet. ”

The old dog shook his head and said, his face was full of puzzlement, Sister Pheasant thought about it, and didn't know what it meant.

"Are you sure it's not his house?"

"No, his house is in the east of the city, a big mansion, everyone in the city knows about it, and there is no need to inquire at all."

"That's strange, if he doesn't go back to his good home, what will he do in that alley?"

"The slave may know something, the surname Qian has a courtyard, I heard that there is a dark room hidden, maybe it is there."

Yue'e listened to their words, and suddenly interjected, and when she said this, the two of them suddenly realized that they were both people who had been in the army for a long time, and they didn't think of going there for a while.

"Why is he hiding? Isn't it okay to marry back home? ”

The pheasant slave didn't have much experience with this, but simply thought that this behavior was unreasonable.

"I heard that his main room is extremely fierce, maybe he is afraid of being discovered, let's fight up, this person is afraid of his wife like a tiger, and everyone in the city knows it. It seems that there was a concubine who was brought out not long after she was married, and it is rumored that she was tortured to death by her wife. ”

Yue'e said with a scared look, when she was coerced, she thought she would be robbed to be small, and she couldn't remember how long that nightmare lasted long.

"Evil wife?"

The pheasant slave read these two words, his big eyes kept turning, and suddenly a shallow smile appeared on his face. Such a smile is very familiar to the old dog, once it appears, it means that which guy in the army is going to be unlucky, and he can't help but shiver.

In Nanxin Town, the largest restaurant in the town was completely contracted yesterday, and the good wine and food were sent in as if they didn't need money, not to mention, and in the evening, a large group of young ladies rushed over, and the number of people was more than one person.

In the early morning, a window facing the street was pushed open, revealing the face of a man, staring grimly at the street below. On the big bed behind her, a woman was only wearing a thin veil, and she didn't seem to be awake yet, and the heart-pounding skin and flesh were exposed, but the man didn't even look back.

"Gotta get it." The sound of horses' hooves came from the corner of the street, and a moment later, a horse emerged from the mist, the man on the horse was fully dressed, and the cowhide bag placed behind the horse bulged out, making a slight sound of wiping as the horse's body rose and fell.

"Phew!" When he got downstairs, he gave a soft shout, and with a great deal of strength in his hand, he stopped the horse in the street. Looking at the open window, the man didn't say anything, not even a gesture, just nodded upward.

Without hesitation, the man upstairs turned and walked out of the room, standing in the hallway on the second floor, pointing to his lips and making a loud whistle. The sound was like a signal, and the door of the room, which was still quiet, suddenly opened, and countless shirtless men hurriedly ran down the stairs while putting on their clothes.

"Brothers, enough is enough, the idea is on the way, let's go to work."

He saw that the people were standing in unison, peeking out from the railing of the upper floor, and whispered downward. It's imminent, it doesn't matter if you hide or don't show it, this trip, either succeed or there is no other way. R1058
