In March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the wicker returns to green, the peach and plum are picturesque, and the spring is like wine. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sky is blue, the clouds are light, the wind is light, and a convoy of three luxury carriages is walking on the Ziqing Ancient Road, and there is a burst of laughter from time to time in the carriage of the carriage.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng were sitting in a carriage led by them at this time! The curtain of their carriage was lifted, and the two chatted while admiring the spring light all over the mountain.

It is now March of the first year of Zhihe, and Zhong Hao and Xu Feng, the new branch jinshi of the emperor's five-year imperial court, are now about to expire, and they need to rush to Tokyo to report before the end of March, waiting for the dispatch assigned by the imperial court.

The cart that Zhong Hao and Xu Feng were riding in was rented from the Zheng family's carriage and horse shop, and the men who drove the three carriages were also hired from the Zheng family's carriage and horse shop. However, the two carriages that Zhong Hao and Xu Feng's family members rode in the back were not rented by the Zheng family, but the two luxury carriages that Pan Xu gave them when they returned to Qingzhou Province last year.

As for why Zhong Hao and Xu Feng didn't take the luxurious carriage sent by Pan Xu, who had better shock absorption, it was because the carriage was full of their family members.

Xu Feng's wife, Su Xiaotao, was pregnant, so she couldn't go to Tokyo with Xu Feng. This time, Xu Feng went to Tokyo to accept the assignment, and this new science and technology jinshi must be released for at least one term, so Xu Feng must be sent out as an official. Su Xiaotao was pregnant, and with Xu Feng going to Tokyo first, and then going to other places to take up a post, the journey was tiring, which was naturally quite inconvenient, so this time she stayed at home in Qingzhou City and did not enter Beijing with Xu Feng.

Xu Feng went to Tokyo this time with the two maids of the Yang family, Yun Lan and Shui Xiu, who had long since become his two concubines. The two of them are familiar with Tokyo, and they are also of some help to Xu Feng in Tokyo. In addition to the two of them, Xu Feng also deliberately brought his concubine Si Ming, who was quite good at cooking tea, that is, the former Cui family's maid painting screen.

The luxurious carriage that Pan Xu gave to Xu Feng was naturally sat by his three concubines. Originally, Xu Feng wanted to share the carriage with the three concubines, anyway, the carriage had a lot of space and was enough to be able to sit on, but he was pulled by Zhong Hao to the cart of the two Zheng clans.

As for why Zhong Hao didn't put his daughter in a car, it was because he was slightly embarrassed.

Because there were not only his daughter-in-law Fu Ruozhu in that carriage, but also Ye Yihan and Xiaoyue's master and servant.

When he was in Qingzhou a while ago, Zhong Hao found an opportunity to tell Fu Ruozhu about him and Ye Yihan.

Fu Ruozhu was quite generous, although he was a little reluctant, but he still agreed to Zhong Hao and Ye Yihan as his concubine. The reason why Fu Ruozhu agreed to Ye Yihan's passage naturally had his own considerations. Fu Ruozhu was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he also knew that it was normal for this man to accept a few concubines, although he could rely on his identity to prevent Ye Yihan from passing through the door, but I was afraid that it would also leave Zhong Hao with a mustard in his heart.

And Fu Ruozhu felt that it was also beneficial to agree with this Ye Yihan to pass the door! This Ye Yihan is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs, she is a talented woman, and she has a good relationship with herself, and she has known her husband for many years, so it is suitable to be a concubine for her husband. And Fu Ruozhu felt that if Ye Yihan was allowed to pass through the door, maybe he could tie his father-in-law's heart with him, so that he no longer had the intention of going home to receive a concubine.

What's more, Fu Ruozhu feels that this Ye Yihan is extraordinary, and his father-in-law will definitely be an official everywhere in the future, and it is unlikely that he will always be by his side as a wife, after all, he still has to preside over the affairs of the family, but Ye Yihan, as a concubine, can accompany his father-in-law. With her talent, she should be able to help her husband a lot.

After listening to Zhong Hao talk about him and Ye Yihan, Fu Ruozhu also agreed to the two of them. This time I went to Tokyo, Fu Ruozhu specially asked Ye Yihan to go to Tokyo together, and when she arrived in Tokyo, she let her pass.

Now that Ye Yihan has not entered the door, Zhong Hao can't help but be a little embarrassed when he goes to the carriage. Of course, if there is no Fu Ruozhu, there is not much embarrassment, but Fu Ruozhu and Ye Yihan are in the same car, and Zhong Hao will not be able to go up.

Therefore, Zhong Hao simply pulled Xu Feng to ride in a carriage alone.

Of course, Xu Feng was a little reluctant to do this. He was originally sitting in a comfortable carriage, and there were three beautiful concubines waiting, which Zhong Hao pulled into these two carriages, naturally reluctantly. However, Zhong Hao said that Xu Feng was not a buddy enough, and he said that he was forgetful, so Xu Feng really couldn't wipe his face and said that he didn't accompany Zhong Hao, so he had to get into a carriage with him.

………………

This time, Zhong Hao and his entourage went to Tokyo, and in the section of Qingzhou and Zizhou, they walked on the famous official road of Jingdong Road - Ziqing Ancient Road.

In fact, if you go west from Qingzhou, there is still a north road to go, and there is no road called the Ziqing Ancient Road, which is called the South Road. This north road is out of Qingzhou City, first go north for about 20 miles, and then turn west, through Linzi County to the west to Qizhou, and then from Qizhou all the way west to Tokyo. This road basically passes through the plain area in the north of Qingzhou, there are many towns, and the official road is also very easy to walk, but you need to take more detours.

This Ziqing Ancient Road is much closer than taking the North Road, but although this South Road is also an official road, this official road basically passes through the mountains, and it is not as good as the North Road. Another point is that on the road of this southern road, there were bandits from time to time in the past, and it was not too safe.

Of course, it's rare to hear of thieves cutting paths on this official road! Because three years ago, the regimental training township soldiers of the stone sheds united with the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town to encircle and suppress the three evil mountains in the vicinity - Qingfeng Mountain, Taohua Mountain and Erlong Mountain, and the bandits in the three evil mountains have been wiped out, and there are no large bands of bandit gangs anymore, and there are very few robbers who cut the path on the Ziqing Ancient Road.

Since it is much closer to take the South Road, and there are not a few bandits on this road, Zhong Hao and his party naturally want to take the South Road!

Of course, the reason why they take the South Road is not only a lot closer, but also because this Ziqing Ancient Road passes through the mountains all the way, and the scenery on the road is very good. If you take the North Road, there is really no scenery to see. This is really uncomfortable for Zhong Hao and his party.

However, in order to prevent being attacked by bandits, before Zhong Hao and Xu Feng set off, Cui Ye asked the stone unloading shed village to send more than a dozen capable regimental training village soldiers to protect Zhong Hao and Xu Feng as they walked through this section of the Ziqing Ancient Road. This Ziqing Ancient Road is out of the scope of several counties under the jurisdiction of Zizhou, and it is all flat land, and there is basically no danger. Therefore, Cui Ye specially asked the stone unloading shed to send more than a dozen capable regimental training township soldiers to escort Zhong Hao and Xu Feng for a ride.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng both knew that this was Cui Ye's kindness, but naturally they were disrespectful, so they agreed honestly and unceremoniously.

In fact, Zhong Hao is very confident in himself now, and feels that his Qi Conduction Technique and Yunfeng Sword Technique are already a little successful, and he is really not afraid that others will come to block the road and rob. He thought to himself that as long as he had a sword in his hand, a few bandits were still not very afraid. Of course, if a group of bandits really came out, he thought he could break through, but obviously there was really nothing he could do to protect this group of female dependents who couldn't do kung fu, so when Cui Ye proposed to let the regimental training villagers from the unloading stone shed village protect their group through the Ziqing Ancient Road, Zhong Hao still agreed honestly and unceremoniously.

………………

When the spring flowers bloomed, Zhong Hao and the others walked along the Ziqing Ancient Road, and the scenery was really good.

The trees on the mountains on both sides of the Ziqing Ancient Road have already spit green, and from a distance, the tender green all over the mountains has a unique charm.

Zhong Hao and Xu Feng lifted all the curtains of the carriage, enjoying the beautiful scenery and chatting along the way, which was a little comfortable.

However, it is comfortable to be comfortable, Zhong Hao is really a little difficult to accept the speed of transportation in this era! The carriage of this era can probably drive seventy or eighty miles a day, which is still a good road, for Zhong Hao, who has traveled long distances by high-speed rail and airplanes in later generations, it is really slow and scary!

And in addition to going slowly, the carriage was also very bumpy. This is still their carriage is suitable for long-distance travel, and the shock absorption effect is better! If it is an ordinary carriage, this line is on the road, and it feels even more sour.

Zhong Hao and his entourage plan tonight rushed to Qingfeng Town to settle down.

Qingfeng Town is located at the intersection of Ziqing Ancient Road and Mansa Ancient Road, about 80 miles away from Qingzhou City, which is almost a day's journey for the convoy.

In order to enjoy the scenery today, Zhong Hao and Gao Yu let the carriage go slower, seeing that the sun was setting at this time, and the sky was beginning to gradually darken, but before the shadow of Qingfeng Town, Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel slightly uneasy! Although the bandits in Qingfeng Mountain, Peach Blossom Mountain and Erlong Mountain in this vicinity have been wiped out, but the entire Qingliang Mountain is full of mountains and mountains, and there are countless mountains, maybe there will be bandits on any mountain, so it is better to rush to Qingfeng Town as soon as possible.

Zhong Hao thought of this, and couldn't help but ask Cui Wudao, who was riding a horse next to him, who was accompanying the carriage: "Fifth brother, how far is this from Qingfeng Town?" ”

Cui Wu is the leader of this group of guards. Cui Wu and Zhong Hao knew each other three years ago, and that time they unloaded the stone shed against the robbers of the Three Evil Mountains, Zhong Hao was in their unloading stone shed, and they had seen it. And Cui Wu knew that Zhong Hao had a very strong relationship with his own Young Master Sun, and Zhong Hao's status was not low, and he was a big official, so he was very polite to him, and immediately said: "Back to Zhong Gongzi, there should be seven or eight miles away from Qingfeng Town, and it will be almost there in half an hour!"

"Fifth brother, you said you won't meet bandits on this road, right?" Zhong Hao asked slightly uneasy.

Cui Wuda said with a smile: "Zhong Gongzi, don't worry, this bandit near Qingfeng Town was wiped out by our stone unloading shed and the forbidden army of Qingfeng Town three years ago, and there are basically no big bandits left." Although there are occasionally small groups of bandits here in Qingfeng Town, there are absolutely no bandits who dare to cut the path on the official road like the Ziqing Ancient Road, and at most they will go to those small roads to rob them. ”

Zhong Hao listened to what Cui Wu said, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

Subsequently, Cui Wu said very arrogantly: "Actually, the brothers really want to come to the last batch of bandits, wouldn't it be just right, let's just catch some and exchange some money for spending." If you want to talk about this thief, the state government will give you a reward of ten times. Haha, I'm afraid that our regimental training township soldiers have all killed people and seen blood, and the robbers who killed the Three Evil Mountains three years ago cried and cried for their mothers, and now we all have murderous energy in us! As soon as those bandits saw that we had murderous energy, I was afraid that no one would dare to rob us! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Cui Wu's words, and couldn't help but be a little speechless: How can this person fool more than himself?! Where's the murderous aura? How I can't see it!

Zhong Hao took a closer look at Cui Wu and the other guards, but he really didn't see where the so-called murderous aura was! These guards of the Cui family are doing private work this time, so naturally they can't wear the costumes of village soldiers in a big way, so they are all dressed as ordinary nurses. Zhong Hao looked at them compared to ordinary people's nursing homes, except for being a little stronger, he really didn't see where there was murderous aura?!

At that moment, Zhong Hao couldn't help but ask: "Fifth brother, you are so murderous, why didn't I see it?" How can you tell that? "Anyway, being idle is idle, and he plans to learn how to see this murderous aura, and if he encounters someone with murderous aura in the future, he should take precautions in advance. After all, people with murderous aura on this body are hard stubble, so it's better to avoid them.

Cui Wu heard Zhong Hao ask about this murderous thing, and couldn't help but pretend to be very pretending: "What do you think of this murderous spirit?!" I, Cui Wu, am a rough person, and I don't know how to talk much. Anyway, let's talk about the murderous aura on my body, the cats and dogs and other animals with keen senses, when they see the murderous aura on my body, they are too scared to move! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Cui Wu's words, and couldn't help but be even more puzzled, and immediately asked, "Then why didn't I see if you had murderous energy on you?" You murderous aura can't only deter cats and dogs, right? ”

"Uh......" Cui Wu couldn't help but feel a little hurt in his self-esteem when he heard Zhong Hao say this, and couldn't help but raise his voice at the moment: "Naturally not." Zhong Gongzi, you can't see the murderous aura, because you rarely deal with people like us who lick blood with knives, if those thieves who are doing knife and life trading see us, they will naturally be able to see it. Therefore, even if there are thieves along the way, they are all scared away when they see the murderous aura on our bodies, and there is absolutely no one who dares to do it, this murderous aura on our bodies is simply easy to make the gods and ghosts clear......"

Cui Wu was bragging about it, when he suddenly saw a big tree in front of him "Kalala" fall down and cross the official road they were on.

Cui Wu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, his mouth opened wide, and he forgot what he was going to say next.

Zhong Hao and the others were also slightly stunned when they saw the big tree that suddenly fell on the road.

Just as they were stunned, a large tree fell on the road behind them.

Immediately, dozens of men armed with various weapons jumped out of the hillside on both sides of the official road, and the two men led by shouted in unison: "Oh, I opened this road, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave the money to buy the road, if you say half a word in your mouth, we will kill and bury it!" ”
