Without getting an answer, He Rongpingshan would not leave.

"The prince and his wife of Jibei assured me that the county lord and you are a fake couple, and the county lord also wrote the 'Hugh Fu Shu'. But if you southerners, I have always believed in only three points, and the throne of Jibei is high and powerful, and I believe in seven points. And I've heard that the county lord has stayed with you for a few days, so I'm compelled to ask. ”

"King Jibei won't lie to you." Xu Ji finally spoke.

"Haha, this is the truth, whether the county lord lost his life, I will know on the day of marriage, and the king of Jibei can't take the risk of lying to me in this matter. I can't believe the county lord, she is a little woman, she doesn't know the height of the sky, maybe she will lie to her parents, rather than causing the two countries to fight each other, it is better for me to ask in advance to understand. ”

He Rong Pingshan paused for a while, "In our He Rong Department, we will never allow such a thing as 'Hugh', and it is not okay to play around, the temper of the county lord will have to be corrected in the future." You just have to tell me the truth: have you ever been married to the county lord? ”

Xu Ji still refused to answer.

He Rong Pingshan waited for a while and laughed, "Do you think I'm humiliating you?" Don't think too much, you have abdicated, living in such a valley, there is no threat to our He Rong Department, and naturally you will not be hostile to us. I'll just deny your silence, if there is no better choice in Yecheng, I will marry the county lord and take her back to Saiwai. And that fielder, in this matter, you can't be silent, you have to hand it over. ”

He Rongpingshan went out to join his entourage, turned over his horse, looked at the valley overgrown with weeds, and said with emotion: "The eldest husband is a masterpiece and gallops the world, if he is trapped here, it is better to die early." Then he said to the people in the valley: "If you see Tian Jiang, tell him: King Zuoshenwei of the He Rong Department is here again, where he flees, where I chase him, we must try to see whether he can escape or I can catch him." ”

Chang Yanzhi entered the house and arched his hand: "Does the son have any instructions?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head.

Chang Yan took a step forward, "I'm afraid this place is no longer a place to stay for a long time. ”

"You're leaving?"

"It's not me, it's Childe. The son sent people under the fence, and his status was originally unstable, but he offended the distinguished guests of Yecheng again, this ......"

"Calculated carefully, after I came to Yecheng, there seem to be a lot of people who have offended." Xu Ji smiled, and then put away his smile, "I'm here to live in seclusion, why would I offend others?" ”

"Huh? I can't tell...... They were the first to provoke, He Rongbu wanted to take away Gongzi, Kou Daogu wanted to take Gongzi away, Dai Pohu wanted to take Gongzi's head for meritorious service and receive a reward, and Gongzi didn't want to be killed, so he could only offend them. Also, to be precise, it is not that Gongzi offends them, one is a Tian craftsman, the other is Mrs. Feng, and the two of them make their own decisions...... to provoke these rights and wrongs. ”

Xu Ji used to be extremely disgusted with "self-assertion", but now he just smiled, "No, everything they did was approved by me, at least I didn't object." ”

Xu Ji stood up, "People can't keep going up, they can't keep going down, the peak and the bottom, you can only stay temporarily, it's enough to see the scenery, you can't live for a long time." ”

Chang Yanzhi understood the words "can't live for a long time", and said happily: "Is the son going to leave?" It's best to leave early, we have horses, we have coils, we can travel lightly, and we can go wherever we want. ”

"No, I haven't hit rock bottom yet." Xu Ji went to the backyard to chop wood.

Chang Yanzhi sighed, went out to gather his companions, and said to them: "Childe is still 'practicing', and I don't know when he will be the head. That He Rong Barbarian King was obviously uneasy and kind, he was not like those who read, he couldn't stop him just by his mouth. It's best to leave here, but Childe doesn't want to go, so we have to find another way. ”

The old servant didn't want to leave, "Listen to the meaning of the barbarian king, there is no malice towards the son, and the person he hates is the Tian craftsman." Alas, Tian Jiang shouldn't have pretended to be a son to play the barbarian king in the first place, he still thought that this was the eastern capital, and he was a hero. ”

"Tian Jiang is also to save Gongzi, if he doesn't pretend, Gongzi will be taken away by He Rongbu, but things have to be done from the beginning to the end - I'll go to him, you work harder, guard the valley, in case Dai Pohu and the others come to assassinate again." Chang Yanzhi didn't discuss with Xu Ji, explained a few words, and rode out of the valley.

Since the Jizhou army marched westward, the soldiers at the outpost outside the valley have decreased a lot, and there are less than ten people left, who often accept the wine and meat sent by Chang Yanzhi, and are very familiar with him, and it is rare to be able to help him, and enthusiastically show him the way.

Chang Yanzhi went to Yecheng for the first time, and saw more and more pedestrians along the way, buying and selling, and before entering the city, it has revealed a different prosperity.

Chang Yanzhi and the children of the seven clans traveled in all directions, accustomed to the dilapidated scene, and couldn't help but admire Yecheng, the Jizhou army was outside, Yecheng could still maintain prosperity, especially rare, the dark road prince has eyesight, this place is indeed an excellent place to take refuge and live in seclusion, and it is difficult to find a second one in the world.

Yecheng is divided into north and south, the north is mostly palaces, government offices and noble residences, the south is private houses and shops, Chang Yanzhi went straight to the welcome of the south city, find a hotel that looks like the largest, and ask for a room after entering.

Travelers staying at the hotel must be noted down their names, places of origin and intentions, and if they are outsiders, they must also show the passage certificate issued by the government.

Chang Yanzhi claimed to be a native of Wuzhou, but he couldn't get any credentials, but he was willing to give up the money, grabbed it one by one, scratched his head, and finally wrote Yecheng in the column of his hometown, and wrote "The original house is damaged and comes here to live temporarily", and then accepted the silver money, sent the guest to the room, and reminded: "The guest officer wants to live on it, and you must not talk to others at will. ”

"Well, I'm only staying one night, I'll leave tomorrow, I won't leave the house. Also, please help me find someone, after the matter is completed, I have some small gifts here. ”

"The guest officer has already spent a lot of money. Who are the guest officers looking for? There are no people who live in the neighborhood that I don't know. ”

"His name is Tian Jiang, not from Yecheng, from the Eastern Capital."

The guy frowned, "Tian Jiang...... I've never heard of it. ”

"If you bother to inquire, I'll just say that a guest from the Eastern Capital is looking for him."

"Okay." The guy reluctantly agreed, and he couldn't leave, "I definitely can't inquire alone, I have to find someone to help, I have enough money, but others ......"

Chang Yanzhi took out a large handful of copper coins and broken silver, "Take it and use it first." ”

The guy was elated and went out with the money.

Chang Yanzhi knew that Tian Jiang had been intercepting guests from all over the city to prevent them from going to disturb Gongzi, so he came up with such a trick.

He ate alone in the room, and when it was nearly three watches, Tian Jiang really came, knocked three times, pushed the door in, and threw a small bag of things to Chang Yanzhi, "You don't have to be so troublesome to find me, you just need to say that you are a foreigner." ”

There was silver money in the bag, Chang Yanzhi glanced at it, and handed it back to Tian Jiang, "People are doing things, I pay for it, how can I get it back?" ”

"He's my friend, and I heard that you're also a friend, so I don't take your money."

"That guy? He clearly said that he didn't recognize it...... Never mind. I came to Tian Zhuangshi, in fact, I had an urgent matter. ”

"Because of He Rongpingshan?"

"It turns out that you already know that the barbarian king went to the valley during the day and was quite disrespectful to Gongzi, depending on what he meant, if Gongzi refuses to hand you over, he will be rude."

"Well, so what?"

"How? You've got to ...... Do something. ”

"Yecheng is anxious to form an alliance with him, what He Rongbu wants, Yecheng will give it, the imperial court is still powerless to stop it, what can I do?"

Chang Yanzhi was no longer polite, and said directly: "The person hated by the barbarian king is you, and you can prevent this disaster for your son." ”

Tian Jiang smiled slightly, "You came with Xu Ji on your back?" ”

"That's not important, the key is you, everyone follows Gongzi together, when there is a beginning and an end, Tian Zhuangshi is notorious, he will not save people halfway, let it go, right?"

"Hey, don't press me with the word 'chivalrous name', I can't afford it." Tian Jiang thought for a while, "You will go back to the valley tomorrow?" ”

"Hmm."

"That's right, you bring something back."

Chang Yanzhi said blankly: "What do you bring?" Can you help Childe? ”

"In short, it's what Xu Ji wants."

"Barbarian ......"

"You can't take care of He Rongpingshan's affairs, so don't worry about it. Xu Ji is not a person from outside the world, so he may have already thought of an idea. ”

"I don't see it."

"Let you see that he just doesn't have a foundation."

This is admitted, "What if? Childe said that he hadn't fallen to the bottom yet, and I was really worried that he would still have to practice the so-called normal mind, and he wouldn't deal with the danger even when he was in front of him. ”

"If he can really be indifferent in the face of danger, I have to admire him. You rest early, leave the store before dawn tomorrow morning, and someone will take you out of town. ”

"What do you want to bring?"

"Avoid the avenue and take the mountain road into the valley." The craftsman refused to answer, and walked away.

Chang Yanzhi didn't get a promise from Tian Jiang, and he was still uneasy in his heart, but the words had already been said, he had no other way, thinking about it, and felt that Tian Jiang had a sentence right, maybe Gongzi had already come up with a way to deal with it, but he just refused to say it in advance, so he felt a little more down-to-earth and went to bed.

In the early morning of the next day, there was a knock on the door, and Chang Yanzhi immediately got up.

The man who received him yesterday did not say a word about the craftsman and the money, and invited the guests to leave with a smile.

Outside the store, a mule cart was parked with several boxes and two small flags, apparently transporting goods for the government.

The coachman and the man with the cart were two people, turned their heads to look at Chang Yanzhi, and without saying a word, drove the mule ahead.

Chang Yan followed on the horse, and the guy reminded in a low voice: "The guest officer is following, don't ask anything." ”

Tian Jiang seemed to know a lot of people in Yecheng, Chang Yanzhi could only believe him, and followed behind the mule cart not far away.

The itinerary was calculated just right, and the mule cart arrived at the gate of the east city, when the day was early and the city was released, the officers and soldiers guarding the city did not do an inspection, and directly waved them out.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and a few miles away from the valley of Siguo, a place at the outpost could be seen at the corner, and the mule cart stopped, and the two of them carried down a box together, put it on the side of the road, got into the car and continued on their way, never saying a word to the people behind them.

Chang Yan was inexplicable, jumped off the horse and came to the box, and was thinking about how to take it from the back mountain into the valley, when he suddenly heard a human voice coming from the box.

"Have you arrived?" It's not just a human voice, it's a woman's voice, and it sounds familiar.

Chang Yanzhi hurriedly opened the box.

Zhang Shiqing stood up from the box and stretched, "I thought it would be very thrilling, but it turned out to be so simple, but it was more boring and tired." Do you only have one horse with you? ”

"Ah, yes, just one, the lord of the county on horseback, I'll walk." Chang Yan was shocked, but he didn't know what to say.

"Let's go." Zhang Shiqing walked out of the box.

"The county lord...... Tian Jiang ...... How did the county lord ......?"

"It was Sister Feng who helped me escape. In order to take revenge, the little barbarian girl wants me to marry outside the Saiwai, so I won't swallow my anger and fall for her plan. Go, take me to see Xu Ji, he owes me a favor. ”

"Huh?"

"I helped him escape from the Eastern Capital at the beginning, and now he has to help me."

Chang Yan regretted that he really shouldn't have entered the city.
