The capital city of Great Chu has always been the most prosperous place in the entire Great Chu.

Especially after ascending the throne today, he began to build several official roads connecting the north and south from Chujing, so that it was even more prosperous.

Unlike Xiling, because of the long-term war with Hu'er, the night in Xiling is always accompanied by the word curfew.

But the most lively time in Chujing was precisely in the evening.

Restaurants, shops, and gardens are lit up, and people come and go on the streets.

The person who had just entered Chujing looked at everything around him curiously, looking east and west from time to time, his face full of curiosity.

And the people who have lived in Chujing for a long time go straight to their destination as soon as they go out, and they are not interested in the surrounding lights at all.

The restaurants are even more lively.

In this way, in an inn, the sound of laughter and scolding is endless:

"We used to be in Xiling, did you ever think that we could live a good life like this? If nothing else, let's have a drink for this! ”

"Drink!"

The people took up their glasses and drank wine in large gulps, eating large pieces of meat.

Even Hou Shigui drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then said drunkly:

"This Chu Jing is good, but it's too boring.

Stay in these buildings all day long, and there are all pavilions and pavilions in front and back, and a bird is coming! ”

Bao Ji held a wine glass in one hand and a big bone stick in the other, and tore it in his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it after two bites:

"That is, in the past, in Xiling, if we were idle and boring, we could still hunt or something, in this Chujing, we didn't even get a bird! It's so boring! ”

Hearing this, Tang Ya said:

"If Childe wants to hunt, there are still some small beasts on the outskirts of Chujing, let's go tomorrow!"

Guo Lianqing shook her head and said:

"Today is different from the past, your son-in-law is now the head of the household department, and he has won the trust of His Majesty, and he is no longer the young man of the past.

With a busy daily schedule, how can you find time to go out of the city to hunt? ”

When everyone heard this, they also nodded.

Before going to Beijing, they thought that after the prince entered Beijing for the assessment, he would be assigned to Tingzhou or some other prosperous place to be an official.

Who knew that the son's wrist flipped and he directly became a Beijing official in Beijing.

And the days are just better, and everyone naturally doesn't want the son to be as stubborn as before.

But he didn't think about it, but Hou Shigui said:

"This is a mistake, isn't it just a hunt, why delay or not? I've been busy for a few months and can't take a break or two?

This is how the matter is decided, tomorrow morning, let's go out of the city to hunt! ”

Everyone said a few words, drank and talked.

After being full of wine and food, Hou Shigui returned to the house with the support of Guo Lianqing.

After a bowl of hangover soup, Hou Shigui regained his calm:

"Those people, are there any anomalies?"

His voice was as cold as frost, which made Guo Lianqing a little unaccustomed.

Guo Lianqing still shook her head and said:

"I saw that they were drinking happily, and there was nothing out of the ordinary."

Hou Shigui nodded and said:

"Let Tangtang cook another bowl of decanting soup for Bao Ji, and I have to prepare it tomorrow."

When Guo Lianqing heard this, she still didn't believe it in her heart:

"Hou Lang, do you really believe what the Dongyang County Lord said?

After all, she has a grudge against you, what if she deliberately separates you? ”

Hou Shigui shook his head and said:

"Naturally, I won't take her word for it, today I asked Bao Ji to carefully investigate their past, and what Yang Wentong said, it can indeed match, and the people who betrayed me should be them."

"Yes...... Didn't Hou Lang really give them a chance? After all, he followed Hou Lang all the way from Xiling, and if he was like this, it would inevitably make the people below feel cold.

And according to Hou Lang's plan, tomorrow's events are too dangerous. ”

"If they just sell my bad things in Xiling and my songs in Tianyalou, why don't I give them a chance?

But they shouldn't have revealed the information about the convoy of nobles escorted by my Xilin Marquis Mansion!

It's just that the noble incense was robbed, and eight people were escorted, and none of them survived!

Two of them are my childhood friends, and they, along with the masterminds behind the scenes, and the bandits must be held accountable for this! ”

In the end, Hou Shigui was no longer calm, and his black eyes were full of murderous intent.

Early the next morning, everyone, including Bao Sen, was waiting for Hou Shigui in the inn.

After Hou Shigui and Guo Lianqing changed into strong clothes, they rode out of the city with everyone.

The suburbs of Chujing are the same as when Hou Shigui came, and they are still so lively.

Hawkers and merchants shouted and cursed on the outskirts of the city, and travelers stopped to watch in amazement.

It didn't take long for Hou Shigui and his entourage to ride by, and they were surprised and scolded.

Hou Shigui ignored it, and led everyone to continue to walk in the direction of the outskirts of the city.

"Childe, you don't have to go that far, there are a lot of small beasts to hunt around here."

On Hou Shigui's side, Tang Ya saw Hou Shigui galloping on his horse, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, so he shouted at him.

But Hou Shigui not only did not stop, but continued to gallop forward.

The crowd had no choice but to follow behind them honestly.

It didn't take long for Hou Shigui to sit down and the horse gasped for a long time, and he finally pulled the reins of the horse and stopped.

It is a wide grassland, surrounded by mountains in the east, and the morning sun rises faintly from the eastern peaks, bringing a warm but not hot light.

To the west is a small pond on which the sun shines and sparkles, blending subtly with the surrounding green meadows.

It's a beautiful sight.

"It's beautiful."

Even Guo Lianqing couldn't help but sigh.

Hou Shigui said with a smile:

"It's pretty beautiful, and it would be even more beautiful if it weren't for the bandits entrenched around here."

Mountain bandits?

Are there mountain bandits around here?

Hearing this, everyone unsheathed their swords and looked around vigilantly.

Hou Shigui smiled and said:

"Don't worry, those mountain bandits just robbed my noble incense, and they are so rich that I am afraid that they will not come out to rob the house for a long time.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought you here. ”

After saying that, Hou Shigui touched the saber on his waist, and slowly circled around everyone.

At the same time, Bao Ji, Guo Lianqing and others also touched the blades on their waists, and the horses followed closely beside Hou Shigui.

His expression gradually cooled down.

And Hou Shigui also spoke:

"Yang Hefeng, twenty-three, my father died early, I was raised by my mother with hard work, and later entered my Hou Mansion, became my playmate, and became my guard in the house, and my biggest wish is to earn enough money to make my mother rich.

Deng Lao Er, the youngest son in the family, nine out of thirty, his parents are dead, but there are two children in the family, a boy and a girl, and his wife is also gentle and virtuous, doing some needlework in my house.

Li Qiang, Fang and weak crown, only entered my house as a guard last year, and has always liked the maid Qiuyue in my house, but he has always been embarrassed to speak.

When he was in Xiling, this son said that he wanted to help him, but this kid was shy...... Alas. ”

With a sigh, Hou Shigui looked at the rest of the people who didn't follow him, and his tone became more and more indifferent:

"But they all died on the official road thousands of kilometers away, so this son chose such a cemetery with excellent feng shui for you, gentlemen...... Are you satisfied? ”
