In order to escort Mrs. Shen back to Chang'an safely before Wei Qing fought with the Aries King and the Lou Fu King, Ruoyao decided to follow Yang Jian's plan after consulting with Luo Shan.

Without further ado, Ruoyao asked Shen Jia's maid to change into Shen Jia's clothes, and then asked Luo Shan to invite him to the carriage openly, escorted by a sergeant, and marched to Chang'an on the official road.

Many people may ask, is that an official road, and the Huns also dare?

The two countries are at war, as long as they can defeat each other, any trick can be used, the Huns are nomads, it is very difficult to attack the city and cross the Great Wall, even if the 100,000 army can only sigh in the face of the impregnable Great Wall.

But after so many years of war, the Huns also figured out a set of tactics to attack and harass in the south, that is, the inside and the outside should be combined, which is not only to kill the soldiers defending the city and open the city gate, but also to explore the defense of the Great Wall, to find a breakthrough for the Hun army, all before each war, there will be a large number of Xiongnu spies in the pass.

Ruoyao had already learned from Li Guang's participation in the right Beiping the last time he participated that as long as the inside is not broken, the outside will always be safe.

The trail was not so easy to walk, and Yang Jian took more than fifty secret guards to escort Shen Jia and Ruoyao.

After a day's marching speed, Shen Jia came to the border of Shanggu County in the true sense of the word, at least the further south the safer it is, and the secret road that Shen Jia took is also the way of hope for the people.

The road that Yang Jian led Shen Jia to take was the way for the border people to escape.

Because the Hun and Han dynasties were fighting every year, the most serious disaster was the border county, and Shanggu County was even more serious.

However, the territory of the Kannai counties was also limited, and the vassal states did not dare to accept these border people easily, so if these refugees walked on the official road, they would be sent back to Kamiya County by the counties along the way.

The pressure of the government did not stop the pace of the people fleeing for their lives, and over time, another open secret passage appeared in this barren mountain range.

So along the way, Shen Jia and Ruoyao often saw the people of the border counties who dragged their families south.

It's already dark, and as long as you get out of the territory of Kamiya-gun, it means that you are almost safe.

"Madam, look, forty miles further will be to Anle County, let's speed up." Yang Jian saw that Shen Jia was tired from sitting in the carriage for a day, so he actually stopped to breathe in the air of nature.

The place where he stayed was a village, which seemed to be very prosperous, but the people were still busy when it was almost dark, because these people had a way to make money, and they actually turned the village into a homestay for the people of the border counties who fled for their lives to settle down.

Shen Jia looked at the sky that was already dark, and there were still forty miles to reach Anle County, and it was estimated that it would be dawn after walking these forty miles, because the speed of traveling at night was very slow, so it was better to rest on the spot.

Shen Jia walked up to Yang Jian's side and said, "In this way, everyone will rest in this village and leave tomorrow." ”

Yang Jian frowned after hearing this: "No, madam, this, just this environment?" ”

Although Shen Jia is everyone's best girl, she marries a chicken and a dog, and Wei Qing is also a general who has no shelf, so she doesn't have any shelf: "I see that everyone is tired, let's rest." After speaking, he said to Ruoyao behind him: "Ruoyao, let's go, choose a better house." ”

This road is tense and climbs the mountain, not tired It is fake, Ruoyao looked left and right and arched his hand and said: "No!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The village is called Taoyuan Village, and if it weren't for this passage, this village would really be a paradise.

As soon as Shen Jia and Ruoyao walked to a house, they saw a woman open the door.

"Oh, two girls, do you want to stay in the hotel?" The woman's name is Han Xiang, she is in her thirties, and it just so happens that in the whole village, Han Xiang only receives female guests, so she is naturally happy to see business come to her door.

Shen Jia stepped forward with a smile: "Yes, I don't know if there are any empty rooms?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Han Xiang was very happy, opened the door wide, and greeted the two nobles: "Oh, this is a mess, and the conditions in our village are like this, let's rest for the night and then go south." ”

Shen Jia and Ruoyao walked into the house one after the other, the layout of the house was indeed warm, which was the credit of a woman, and in the other room, an old lady was cooking on the fire, and she was very happy to see the arrival of a distinguished guest.

"Two girls, you can rest assured if you live with us, it is absolutely safe, there is a special village protection team in the village." Han Xiang came over with a kettle to pour tea and introduced Taoyuan Village.

There are more than 100 households in Taoyuan Village, each of which has opened an inn, nominally speaking, this is making war money, but this village is indeed protecting the people who flee from the south to the north, so it is also very contradictory.

The formation of the dark road means that there is a business, so the inn business in the village is better than the official post business on the Ming Road, in order to protect its interests, the village even set up a village protection team, of course, is also paying protection money to the official family.

"Who is this?" Ruoyao found a tablet in the main hall of the hall, because there was a Han sword next to the tablet, so he expected that the person on the tablet was a soldier and had died in battle.

Han Xiang's face suddenly became solemn, but he still forced a smile and said, "My man, is dead." ”

The topic is relatively heavy, they are all women, how can they not know the suffering of soldiers, so Shen Jia bowed for the tablet.

"You said that this Hu man is really hateful, he goes south every year, it's really a hell." After Han Xiang finished speaking, he walked to the table with two large bowls: "Come, eat while it's hot, the conditions in the countryside are limited." ”

In the subsequent chat, Shen Jia's mood was even more sad, Han Xiang's husband joined the military in the county when he first got married, and I heard that he finally became a centurion, but in less than two years, the blind date who went to the army brought back bad news.

I heard Han Xiang say that after the siege of Mayi, thirty-one good men in Taoyuan Village joined the army, and now only nine have returned, and these nine are all missing arms and legs, and there is no good person.

"By the way, I see that you are also from a big family, and I saw that there are guards just now." Han Xiang was curious about Shen Jia's identity: "What do you men do?" ”

Shen Jia's face was a little unsightly, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and smiled slightly: "My man is on the Great Wall." ”

"Ahh Han Xiang stood up in surprise: "It's a war." ”

Shen Jia nodded and said, "I also think about him all the time, and I hope he comes back safely." ”

"Hey!" After hearing this, Han Xiang sighed: "On the battlefield, his life, it is not ours." ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and the village chief suddenly hurriedly ran in from outside, and mysteriously closed the door, and said with a surprised face: "Han Xiang, Han Xiang, hurry, there are bad guys mixed into the village among the refugees." ”

"Is it the Huns?" Ruoyao's first reaction was not aimed at Mrs. Shen.

The village chief was a little excited: "I don't know, Niu Sanwa, who was on guard at the entrance of the village, said that dozens of black-clothed people sneaked into the village from the Horn River at the entrance of the village, but I checked it and didn't find any suspicious people." ”
