Early the next morning, Li Qi packed up his things and prepared to accompany him, Zhuang Wudi couldn't help but smile when he saw that Li Qi was about to follow: "Are you at ease?" ”

Li Qi nodded: "It must be uneasy, the business that comes for no reason is no problem." ”

Zhuang Wushu said: "Since you think there is a problem, why do you still take this business?" ”

Li Qi said: "Because what he wants to transport should be real grain." ”

Zhuang Wushu said: "Most of the food at this time is official food...... Pingchang County is the closest county seat to Jizhou, and it is also the southern gate of Jizhou. ”

Li Qi nodded: "That's why I don't want silver to ask for food, if Jizhou starts to run out of food......

Zhuang Wushu pondered for a moment: "Prince Yu is not far from starting his army, the grain and grass are abundant, the soldiers and horses are not in a hurry, the grain and grass are almost gone, and if there are no more soldiers, even the soldiers will not be able to survive." ”

He was a little puzzled: "All of a sudden, there is not much food in stock, there is a problem." ”

Li Qi said: "So I want to see, if there is really not much food in Jizhou City, we may have to leave here." ”

Zhuang Wushu immediately became happy: "Then it must be not much." ”

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "If you don't go to the academy, won't there be any problems?" ”

Li Qi said: "I ...... Li Qi has become a person I hate myself, I actually relied on my relationship with Mr. Yan to prepare to skip school for three days, and I didn't plan to ask for leave. ”

Zhuang Wuving: "It turns out that you hate Xiahou Zhuo so much." ”

Li Qi: "......"

When they spoke, everyone had already packed up the convoy, thirty carts, ready to go, thirty coachmen, sixty knights, which had almost emptied Yongning Tongyuan's family.

When the team was about to set off, the shopkeeper Su of the Shengchang Grain Store arrived, and he seemed to be very uneasy, taking about 20 people, saying that he was going to go with Li Qi and them, and the team of the grain store was guarded by someone from another dart bureau.

Li Qi glanced at the shopkeeper Su's dress, although it was still a robe, it looked more bloated than yesterday, and speculated that he had put armor on his clothes.

Li Qi felt that this trip might be more difficult than expected.

If there is a shortage of grain in the city of Jizhou, they dare not let the army blatantly go to the granary in Pingchang County to transport it, first, for fear of causing panic among the people of Pingchang County, and second, for fear of causing panic among the people in Jizhou City.

Before Li Qi set off, he said to Zhuang Wuving: "Be careful, if the situation is not right, you will leave." ”

When the team went out of Jizhou City, the people of this grain stack seemed to have some weight, and when they went out of the city, a young man from the grain store casually said hello in front, and the soldiers guarding the city gate immediately let them go, and they didn't even check it.

At the same time, Pyeongchang County.

Seven or eight men in civilian clothes but armed with weapons stood guard outside a private house, all with solemn expressions, they seemed to be afraid of something, and everyone was still a little panicked in their eyes.

In the house, a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties is cleaning up in the yard, sorting and boxing books one by one, and seems to care about them to the extreme.

He was thin and tall, so the dress looked a little fat on him, and there were a few patches on the clothes, this caftan had been worn for I don't know how many years, it was very old, but it was very clean, it was originally blue, and now it has become moon white.

"Your Excellency."

A young man in his twenties came in from outside the courtyard, walked quickly to the middle-aged man, bowed his head, and said, "The carriage and horses have arrived, we have to leave as soon as possible." ”

The one who is called an adult is the county magistrate Yue Hua Nian of Pyeongchang County.

He has been a county magistrate in Pyeongchang County for 16 years, and it stands to reason that he should have been promoted a long time ago, but he will neither stammer, nor welcome, just bow his head and do things, for 16 years, the people of Pyeongchang County have been very down-to-earth because of him.

There were already a lot of rogues outside the city, Yue Huanian called on the people to form a volunteer militia, and three times the thieves came to attack, but he personally led the militia to repel them.

He doesn't know martial arts, but he never wants to be left behind.

The young man's name is Qiu Qingche, he is the head catcher of Pingchang County, he was originally a wandering warrior, and after arriving in Pingchang County, he learned that Yue Huanian was an official, so he ran to recommend himself, saying that he was willing to be Yue Huanian's personal guard.

Yue Huanian replied to his first sentence at that time...... I don't have the money to hire you.

Qiu Qingche asked him, do you care about the rice?

Yue Huanian replied that the food was not good.

Qiu Qingche smiled and said that it would be fine.

In this way, two people who have no intersection have an intersection, Qiu Qingche has been in Pingchang County for four years, and in the third year, he became the head catcher in the county government, and the people are used to calling him Lord Che, not Lord Qiu.

Because the people say that in this Pingchang County, Lord Yue is handsome, Qiu Qingche is a car, and the people are willing to be Lord Yue's pawns.

Yue Huanian looked at the boxes, then looked at the carriage that arrived outside the door, was silent for a moment, and picked up a few books from one of the boxes, with a look of pain and reluctance on his face.

"Don't."

He said.

Qiu Qingche's face changed: "My lord, these are your most precious books, how can you not want them?" ”

Yue Huanian said: "It's too heavy, the carriage and horse can't run, these boxes of books are really like my life, but compared to you, the books can be discarded like a feather." ”

Qiu Qingche also knew very well that with such a heavy thing, the carriage and horses must be slow, and God knows when those people will come.

"Let's go."

Yue Huanian glanced at the boxes of books again, shook his head and said, "I hope it will fall into the hands of a book lover, instead of being burned on the kang by someone." ”

He stepped out of the door, and seven or eight guards immediately stepped forward, and at the moment when Yue Huanian was about to get into the car, several feather arrows came quickly from the shadows, and without any reaction, the two guards were shot by feather arrows.

"Lord Yue, are you leaving?"

Turning around from the corner of the street, a lean middle-aged man, Yue Huanian was already very thin, but his skeleton was relatively large, so that kind of thinness was not too ugly, and this person was as thin as skin and bones.

He was wearing a very gorgeous dress, which looked extraordinarily precious, in stark contrast to the patched clothes on Yue Huanian's body.

Some black-clothed people appeared on the surrounding houses, armed with bows and arrows, and condescendingly aimed at Yue Huanian and the others.

Yue Huanian looked at the middle-aged man, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Liu Yingzhan, you are just a businessman who does a grain storehouse business, but you are so rampant in front of this official. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No wonder you have been a county magistrate for sixteen years, but if you are smarter, you will not be able to climb a single step." ”

He said as he walked: "I won't stop you from leaving, but you have to explain clearly, half of the grain in the official warehouse is missing, where is this half of the grain?" ”

Yue Huanian sneered: "What does the grain in the official warehouse have to do with you? ”

"Lord Yue, let's make it clear, if you don't tell where the food is, you will die ugly."

Yue Huanian was about to speak, but Qiu Qingche had already pulled him: "My lord, get in the car." ”

He took a step forward to block in front of Yue Huanian, pulled out the long knife and said, "Today."

We can put aside the life and death of others and protect the adults from the city. ”

"Yes!"

The remaining guards answered, drawing their knives in their hands.

"Kill it!"

He jumped into the carriage and shook the reins, and the horse neighed and rushed forward.

The feathered arrows were lowered all around, and the guards slashed the feathered arrows with their long knives, and they preferred to be shot themselves rather than let a single feathered arrow go into the carriage.

Liu Yingzhan looked at the carriage that hit him, sighed, and said, "It turned out to be even more stupid than I thought." ”

The carriage was about to crash into him, and the man, who looked as thin as a bamboo pole, reached out and pushed the horse's face, and then pressed down with one hand.

The horse pulling the cart screamed, but it couldn't support Liu Yingzhan's pressure, and the two front legs knelt down involuntarily, but this strength was not exhausted, and Liu Yingzhan pressed the horse's head and hit the ground.

When he let go of his hand, there was blood on all five fingers, and all five fingers were pierced into the pony's head.

The carriage stopped abruptly, Liu Yingzhan grabbed one of the wheels, broke it to the side, and with a click, the thick wood was directly broken, and the fracture was as sharp as a gun, and it stabbed into the carriage fiercely.

Qiu Qingche kicked on the half-cut wheel, and the long knife swept and cut at Liu Yingzhan's neck, Liu Yingzhan retreated, and his body fell into the distance like a leaf.

But because of his move, the archers around him didn't dare to release arrows at will.

"A little head catcher, dare to stop me?"

Liu Yingzhan looked down at the blood on his hands, and said casually: "If you know the current affairs, you arrest Yue Huanian, and you will follow me in the future, which is much more comfortable than following a poor county order." ”

Qiu Qingche turned around and said, "My lord got out of the car and followed closely behind me, Liu Yingzhan didn't dare to let go of the arrow easily." ”

After saying that, a little under your feet, a cloud of hard soil exploded.

The long knife swept, Liu Yingzhan retreated again, and the knife missed.

Liu Yingzhan, who took a big step back, seemed to be tied to an invisible rope on his body, the rope was extremely elastic, and he had just landed, but he could easily return to Qiu Qingche.

"You can't."

Liu Yingzhan said: "Martial arts can't work, and neither can brains." ”

Qiu Qingche didn't say a word, and slashed down again, Liu Yingzhan turned sideways and got out of the way, and at the moment when the knife fell, he grabbed Qiu Qingche's neck with his palm.

Qiu Qingche didn't dodge sharply, his head was avoided to one side, and his shoulders were raised and hit Liu Yingzhan's five fingers.

Liu Yingzhan's eyes lit up: "Naïve." ”

With a pop, his five fingers grabbed into Qiu Qingche's shoulder.

Qiu Qingche's eyes also lit up.

His knife was taken off, and the other hand caught it in mid-air, and the knife in his left hand was lifted up from the bottom to the top, leaving a long knife edge on Liu Yingzhan's body with a pop.

The ornate brocade robe was cut open, revealing a dark golden soft armor.

Qiu Qingche's face changed.

"I said, you're so naïve."

Liu Yingzhan looked at Yue Huanian, who got out of the carriage, smiled again and said, "Lord Yue, you see, you can't get out, either you tell where the food went, or I will tear apart your loyal guards one by one." ”

Qiu Qingdao: "You're actually quite naïve. ”

Liu Yingzhan was stunned, he suddenly came to his senses, looked down, and saw that the soft armor had actually been cut open.

He looked at Qiu Qingche's knife.

"Toothed blades?"
