"The two countries are already at war, what are you going to do in that troubled water?" asked Xu Ying.

"No, my shop for my brothers to eat and drink is nothing, but I still want to marry Yixin, you know, my parents disappeared before they told their Yang family that I and Yixin's marriage, now, their Yang family adds some dowry a year, and in the first year, I gritted my teeth and could still support it, but for the sake of the shop's business, I thought about hiring in the second year, but who would have thought that the price would increase every year, and the money I earned was far from enough."

"It's just that you are infatuated, if it weren't for Ling Zun pulling their Yang family back then, they would be where they are today, I think the Yang family also took a fancy to your family's financial resources at that time, and now your parents are not there, and the financial resources are not as good as in previous years, but they are neglecting you everywhere, completely ignoring the feelings of the year."

"It's all Zhang Guifang's deception, my parents just went to Shangyuan during the war," Yu Chong gritted his teeth and said, "I have to find out this Zhang Guifang and ask for clarification." ”

"I've been asking my brother at the dock to help you inquire about your parents, so you don't have to worry too much." Xu Ying said that she hurriedly changed the topic.

"You two haven't seen each other for a long time, have you seen each other more and more times since then, and when you meet again, you won't see how much Yang Yixin misses you, her heart for you is not as good as before, good brother, you have to wake up, there are many good women in the world, don't forget this greedy for your money."

"Well," Yu Chong mused, "I want to try again." ”

"Okay, then you're trying, what I mentioned to you before, you should also think about it, the big boss has long wanted you to come to the dock, and then our brothers will eat and drink together, and we won't be happy!"

"I'll think about it first."

After saying goodbye to Xu Ying, Yu Chong took Ah Fu to the noodle stall in the market, hastily ate a bowl of Yangchun noodles, and asked Aunt Li next door to help keep an eye on the shop in recent days, so he and Ah Fu set off to Shangyuan Country to find out.

In order to keep a low profile, the two deliberately changed into the costumes of Shangyuanguo, and went to the tea stall to rest when they were less than five miles away from Shangyuanguo.

The two of them were eating tea, and they heard the side talking, "This has just passed a period of stable days, why did you start fighting again, you said that this Nandui City is really so good, how many years have our country been fighting in Penghua, no one can take Nandui City, so you can't sneak attack him yourself, and then occupy the city first." ”

"You don't understand this, what you said was the earliest time, Penghua did this, but the old city lord before Nanducheng was very traitorous, and he sent a message to our monarch early, so that the monarch sent troops to resist overnight, which solved the crisis in Nandusk City, but our soldiers died a lot, and afterwards, the old fox in Nandusk City did not meet our requirements as agreed in advance."

"After that, Southwilight City used this trick on us again?"

"yes."

"Then our Shangyuan and Penghua will join forces to share his Southern Twilight City, and half of one person is better."

"The monarchs of the two countries have long thought for you, and it is still impossible to reach an agreement on the more and less, the most important thing is that the relationship between Nandui City and Jiang Yunguo to the west of our Shangyuan is very good, and the old fox got the news early, but as soon as the two countries join forces to attack him Nandui City, Jiang Yunguo will take advantage of the situation to take our Shangyuan. cough, anyway, it's complicated, it's all in the old fox's calculations, and we can't occupy it, so we can only let Nanducheng call me a minister, that's all, more troops still have to defend against the western enemy, and Penghua also plans to do so, so the war with Penghua for so many years is also small-scale, and it won't really make a big move and shake the country. ”

Yu Chong heard it in a fog, although he didn't like the two of them to call the old city lord "Old Fox", but in the realm of Shangyuan, it was better to have more than one thing.

Yu Chong asked Ah Fu to pay for the tea, then got up and continued to hurry, striving to enter the city before dark, to say that this Shangyuan City is not as good as Nandui City, this Shangyuan City will have a curfew, and Nandusk City is in the reign of the old city lord, there are also people who do not close their doors at night, this time is different from the past, Yu Chong can't help but sigh when he thinks about it.

The two of them walked all the way to the sky, and walked happily, and entered the city before dark, and the war time was not much different from that of normal days, except that there would be more excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and nothing else was necessarily different.

Yu Chong and Ah Fu stayed in the inn where they had purchased goods before, and as soon as they stayed, it rained, and the two ordered some food, scalded two pots of wine, and went to bed early after eating.

In the middle of the night, the two of them were sleeping soundly, Yu Chong listened in a daze to someone slamming the door, Yu Chong stabilized his mind, only to hear the sound of the door digging more and more urgently, and the snoring sound of Ah Fu next to him shook the sky, and he couldn't disturb Ah Fu's sweet dream at all.

Yu Chong hurriedly put on a coat, tiptoed to the door, leaned his head slightly close to the door, and asked lightly, "Who is it?" ”

"Good Samaritan, help me......" A deep man's voice came from outside the house.

Yu Chong heard that the man's voice was extremely weak, and he was also sitting in a fierce struggle in his heart, so he calmed down for a moment, and slowly opened the door.

I saw that the man outside the door was planted in, covered in blood, Yu Chong had never seen this kind of battle, so he quickly dragged the man into the house and closed the door.

Yu Chong rushed to the bed with an arrow step, and dragged Ah Fu, who was snoring, from sleep, "What's the matter, Brother Chong, tell me to do something." Ah Fu said vaguely.

"Don't talk nonsense, come and help." Yu Chong said firmly.

"Who is this, how can he be in our house, who is he?" Ah Fu was so frightened that he was incoherent, Yu Chong ignored him, took a sweat towel, and handed it forward, "Quickly wet the sweat towel and bring a basin of water." ”

According to Yu Chong's explanation, Ah Fu worked together to carry the strange man to the bunk, cleaned it up, and put on a clean coat, and Yu Chong brought a cup of tea to the man to moisten his mouth.

I saw the man look at the two of them with grateful eyes, and said slowly, "Thank you two young heroes for helping each other." Before he could finish speaking, he let out a cough.

Yu Chong helped the man lean on the head of the bed, so that he could speak, "But don't say that, people in the rivers and lakes, when they see it, they will help each other." ”

"Dare to ask the two young heroes their names."

"In Xia Wang Chong, this is my brother, Ah San." Yu Chong blurted out, and he couldn't cut off business dealings with Shangyuan Penghua on weekdays, the two of them had already given their own names, and as soon as they called out, they immediately came to the state, and it was better to be careful when they were in the rivers and lakes.

"In Xia Sun Lu, who was originally the dart master of the Tianlian Dart Bureau of Penghua Kingdom, was entrusted to send a letter to Nanducheng City, who wanted to encounter the plot of traitors on the way, it was not easy to entrust this matter to outsiders, but I was seriously injured and couldn't complete the mission, and I hope that the two young heroes will help me complete this task." With that, he coughed again.

"This ......" Yu Chong also muttered in his heart, Pingshui met and encountered such a thing, and sent a letter to Nanducheng to be poisoned, wouldn't it be more auspicious for him to help him.

It seems that Sun Lu saw Yu Chong's concerns, and said, "Wang Shaoxia doesn't have to have doubts in his heart, the rules of the dart line will not let you send it to the last person, we have a way to deal with this situation, early in the morning, you only need to send this letter to the weeping Yangpo ten miles outside Shangyuan City, there is a post station, find a person named Ah Can, tell him about my situation, and he will help me deliver it." Sun Lu clenched Yu Chong's hands and looked at him intently.

"Okay, Brother Sun, I'll do you this favor, you can rest here in peace, no one will disturb you."

"No need, after you find Ah Can, he will naturally send someone to take care of my funeral, who knows that my injury can still last...... cough, wait for the three of us to see each other next time, come to Penghuaguo to find me, and I will invite the two brothers to drink a big wine. ”

"Lie down and rest." Yu Chong said with concern.

"There is one more thing, while it is still dark, hurry up and scrub the dirty place outside the house, don't leave traces, outside the inn will not be used for the time being, it will rain when I come, there should be no problem."

Yu Chong instructed Ah Fu to deal with the traces outside the house, and he sat in the house guarding the stranger on the bed, and glanced down at the letter in his hand, which was ordinary and unremarkable, and not a word was written on the envelope, that is, the content of the letter was the cause of Sun Lu's serious injury.

Yu Chong has always done things in a downright manner, never doing anything against his heart, and naturally he will not peep at the content of the secret letter because of curiosity, not to mention that this time it is so tricky, I wish I knew as little as possible, less than a stick of incense, Ah Fu came back panting.

"Got all in order?"

"Don't worry, Brother Chong." Ah Fu gasped and nodded.

The sky gradually became brighter, and Yu Chong went out of the city with the letter and Ah Fu in his arms. According to Sun Lu's explanation, the two must go out of the city together, although the journey is not too far, but it is better to be careful and take care of each other. Don't go out of the city too early, otherwise the target will be too obvious, and you will be targeted by the guards at the city gate and the gangsters who are chasing and killing Sun Lu. On the contrary, it is safer to go out of the city with the first wave of trading and making a living.

Yu Chong said secretly, this dart thing is really very careful, and it looks like he has a lot of experience.
