Fei Xun returned to the Liang camp as a new envoy and went to Jiangdong with Guo Shifeng, while the king of Liang sent his closest general, Pan Kai, to provide protection on the way, and this team did not take Huaizhou, where the road was more convenient, but detoured to Luozhou, which was a little farther away.

In contrast, Xu Jixing was only a single figure, only one person, a man and a copy of the official document of King Liang, and the two sides were about to part ways when they left the camp, so they left in the barracks.

King Liang relied on his identity and did not come out, when he resigned, Guo Shifeng was polite, Pan Kai was routine, he did not dare to say a word to Xu Ji now, and even avoided eye contact, so as not to arouse the suspicion of King Liang - he suspected that he was appointed as an envoy to Jiangdong, which was King Liang's punishment for his previous nonsense.

Only Fei Xun said a few more words, and while there was no one around, he whispered: "I still think my plan is better, but since the county lord has made a decision—this is a major decision, if you are not careful, you will lose everything." Probably I'm really not suitable for troubled times, you people always think that the more chaotic the better, and the plans you come up with are all incredible, but I just want to restore the rule of the world as much as possible, even if it is just a city and a temporary rule. ”

Fei Xun was excited, and when he was about to leave, he remembered one more thing, "Oh, the county lord knows that you won't go back, let me tell Xu Gongzi: cherish." ”

Xu Ji thanked him, watched Guo Shifeng and the others set off, and he also patted his horse on the road.

Started a section of the route to escort the Liang soldiers, and after more than ten miles, they arrived at the main road to Yuyang, and there were only a few Liang soldiers outposts to the north.

Xu Ji rode a horse slowly, walked for several miles, and saw a person standing and sitting on the side of the road.

Yecheng was besieged, the people nearby were all hiding in the city, the villages and towns were empty, and there were no people on the road, so he suddenly saw two big living people, which surprised Xu Ji.

The man standing suddenly raised his arms and waved, and the seater stood up.

Xu Ji urged the horse to go quickly, and only when he got closer did he recognize that the two were actually old servants and Chang Yanzhi.

Xu Ji became more and more surprised.

"Look, I'll just say that there won't be random pedestrians on the road, it's going to be Childe, right?" The old servant laughed.

Chang Yanzhi has been sitting on the grass and patting the dust on his buttocks, "Then you don't have to stand and wait all the time, you are not too tired." ”

Xu Ji jumped off the horse, "You guys...... How did two end up here? ”

"Go to Yuyang with my son." The old servant felt that everything was normal, and he didn't understand why Childe had doubts, "Someone has to take care of Childe's diet and daily life." ”

Chang Yanzhi patted the knife on his waist, "There is also protection and security, Gongzi doesn't even have a knife." ”

Xu Ji was very happy to see the two of them, and said with a smile: "It's no better, but it's ...... The Lord of Huanyan sent you over? ”

The old servant nodded, "If you want to say that the big county lord is really a good person, of course, and Mrs. Feng helped, before Liang Bing came, he sent someone to take us from Siguo Valley to the city, so that we could be settled." Last night, it should have been this morning, before dawn, Mrs. Feng woke us up and said that Gongzi was going to Yuyang to recruit his entourage, and everyone rushed to ......"

Chang Yanzhi pursed his lips and snorted softly.

The old servant listened, "Why, am I wrong?" ”

Chang Yanzhi was woken up early and yawned, "There is no need to exaggerate to Gongzi, everyone lives well in the city, and I don't know what Gongzi is going to do in Yuyang, so I don't really want to follow, but since Mrs. Feng opened her mouth, she can't refuse, anyway, she is not particularly enthusiastic." ”

"I'm enthusiastic, I'll follow Childe wherever he goes." The old servant said.

"Well, the old man is going to come alone, saying that he is too old and may make a mistake, and he is not happy."

"I'm old, but I'm a person who is used to walking, I have no problems with my legs and feet, and I can stand all the time, unlike you, but I'm young, and I have to sit down when I find a place."

Chang Yanzhi didn't argue, and smiled at Xu Ji: "Gongzi needs a person with a knife by his side, and they think I am the leader, so I have to come." ”

Xu Ji understood in his heart that all this was arranged by the county lord of Huanyan, and he was a little grateful and a little ashamed in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's good to have two peers." What about your mounts? ”

Chang Yan said: "Eat grass over there, I'll bring it." ”

Chang Yanzhi went to lead the horse, and the old servant stared at Xu Ji, his eyes were full of joy, as if he hadn't seen him for many years.

After Xu Ji moved out of the General's Mansion in his teens, he has always been accompanied by an old servant, and he didn't feel close at that time, but he only felt that the old servant was a little verbose, and urged him to find a serious future every day.

"I'm alive." Xu Ji said with a smile.

"It's good to be alive." The old servant nodded, neither reproaching nor questioning.

Chang Yanzhi led the horse back, and there was a burden on the horse's back, "Mrs. Feng is really righteous, and she has given a lot of entanglements, if she is a man, I will bow to her." ”

The three of them got on the horse, the old servant moved slowly, and Xu Ji lifted him up.

After going on the road, the old servant said: "Chang Yanzhi, don't think we can't see it, where do you want to worship brothers?" It's a husband and wife, right? ”

Chang Yanzhi didn't blush, and said with a smile: "I'm not the only one who has such thoughts, which one in the valley doesn't want to?" It's just that I'm afraid that my life is not hard enough. The old man's legs and feet are not old, and his heart is not old, right? ”

"Go, nonsense, how old am I?"

"Don't bother when you're old? I don't believe it, the general ......" Chang Yanzhi hurriedly shut up.

Xu Ji nodded and said: "The general does have a group of wives and concubines, the older he gets, the more he likes this kind of thing, inside and outside the house, I don't know how many concubines he has married." ”

"Don't even know Childe?" Chang Yanzhi was a little surprised.

The old servant replied: "Don't say that Gongzi is Mrs. Lan's son Lou Zhongjun, and even the general himself may not know the total number. ”

The three of them chatted for some leisure, and they were not in a hurry, quite relaxed.

Xu Ji carried the official document signed by the king of Liang, successfully passed several Liang army posts, and in the evening of the same day, arrived at a small city, the official document of the king of Liang was not used, Chang Yanzhi took out the official document of Yecheng, and was able to enter the city and live in the post station.

There was rare news from Yecheng, and the three of them were surrounded as soon as they entered the post station, and soon after, even the city lord sent someone to inquire about the movement.

The old servant served Xu Ji to rest, Chang Yanzhi dealt with the people outside, he didn't know much, but he dared to say that he was half-true and half-false, even guessing and ignoring, and in the end, even he believed a little, "There is an emperor in Yecheng, and there is a county lord of Huanyan, and he will definitely be able to turn the crisis into safety, you don't have to be afraid, Liang Bing can't fight here." ”

In the house, the old servant finally asked, "What is Childe going to Yuyang for?" I'm just just asking, Childe doesn't need to say anything, Childe must have a point. ”

Xu Ji wiped the water off his feet, and didn't intend to hide it anymore, "Tian Jiang and Lord Fangde should be in Yuyang." ”

The old servant's eyes widened, and he gasped, "Little county lord...... How could the little county lord marry outside the Saiwai...... How could it be ......"

Chang Yanzhi happened to come in and asked, "What's 'how it is'?" ”

"Childe went to Yuyang to rescue the little county lord." The old servant said.

"And the field craftsman." Xu Ji added.

Chang Yanzhi didn't show surprise, "I see." ”

"You're not surprised? The little county lord had already promised King He Rong that he should have gone outside the Saiwai a long time ago, but at this time, he was hiding in Yuyang City, and there was the most troublesome Tian Craftsman...... This is a big problem. ”

Chang Yanzhi gave his hand to Xu Ji, "I was worried that Childe would become ruthless again, but I was worried and apologized to Childe." ”

Xu Ji smiled, the old servant wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and went out to pour water with a basin.

"Childe has come up with a plan?" Chang Yan asked.

"Not yet, I'll go to Yuyang to see the situation."

"It's very difficult, Yecheng is besieged, and I'm counting on the rescue of He Rong's cavalry, the little county lord she...... Anyway, Childe can always figure out a way, what the hell do I care? Chang Yanzhi patted his waist knife again, "My duty is to protect the safety of my son, don't look at me who usually doesn't practice knives much, my kung fu is still there, and it is not a problem to fight ten or eight." ”

The old servant came in, no longer caring about the affairs of the smaller county lord, "Fight ten or eight?" All of them are my age? ”

"Haha, like my uncle, I can't beat any of them."

The three of them chatted for a while, and the old servant praised the various advantages of the little county lord and sighed.

After the conversation, the three of them went to rest, and the next day before dawn the old servant urged the other two to get up, pack their belongings, prepare their horses, and arrive at the gate of the city, just in time for the gate to open.

Chang Yan yawned for a long time, Xu Ji was also a little sluggish, and the old servant still urged, "If you want to save the little county lord, try it as soon as possible, don't delay your work on the road." ”

Chang Yanzhi: "The old man thought it was an adventure to save people yesterday, why did he change his mind after sleeping one night?" The little princess gave you a dream? ”

"The little county lord entrusted his dream to his son, what are you doing for me? I think that no one can change what Childe decides, so instead of persuading him to stop, it is better to provide some help so that Childe can save people smoothly. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Chang Yanzhi said with a smile.

After walking out of the road, the old servant caught up with Chang Yanzhi and advised: "Chang Yanzhi, when you see the little county lord, you must not talk nonsense......

"Don't say it, don't say it, I just said that the old man urged the son to hurry up."

The old servant breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay to say this or not......"

The farther north they went, there were a little more populated, but they still looked desolate, and the cities along the way were more vigilant than one another, even if the official documents of Yecheng were revealed, the three of them were rejected several times, and they could only sleep outside the city and eat some dry food.

Slowly, the rumors on the road were no longer Yecheng besieged, but the Bingzhou army attacked Yuyang City, and there was even news that Yuyang had been besieged, and the King of Jin was about to lead his troops south.

A few days later, the three of them rushed to more than ten miles outside Yuyang City, and saw the Tiancheng flag fluttering at the head of the city from a distance, indicating that this place was still owned by Yecheng.

There were no annexed armies outside the city, there were more pedestrians on the roads than in the cities to the south, and some tea sheds and taverns were even doing business as usual.

Yuyang was close at hand, but Xu Ji was not in a hurry, he had to sit in the tea shed for a while and listen to the people's discussions.

The tea drinkers are all poor people, who are most concerned about their own livelihood, and are especially afraid that the enemy soldiers will attack the city, which will cut off the livelihood of a large family.

Bingzhou did come to an army, far from Yuyang, the intention of the Bingzhou army, everyone disputed, some people thought it was malicious, some people believed that this was reinforcements, the most important reason is that Yuyang did not close the city.

"If it's really an enemy army, will Yuyang Shou be stupid enough to open the city gate normally every day? That's why I said that those who come from Bingzhou must be reinforcements, and the gate of the Shen family will be loyal to the imperial court. ”

When Xu Ji walked out of the tea shed, only two or three miles away from the city gate, he said to the old servant: "Please go into the city to find the Tian Craftsman and tell him that I have arrived." ”

"Childe doesn't go into the city? It's all at the door. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "General Yuyang is a smart person, it's useless for me to go into the city, it's better to go somewhere else to help." ”

"Where is Childe going?" The old servant's heart became uneasy again.

"Go meet the state army."
