At sunset, Swallow City ushered in another small peak in and out of the city, and the city gate guards had to take advantage of this to make extra money, and most of the peasants who sold their things out of the city and the travelers who were anxious to enter the city to stay could only swallow their anger.

This small city is in the southeast of Shangjing City, separated by 800 miles, although it can be reached by galloping day and night for two days, but it is not on the post road of emergency military intelligence, and it is just an insignificant small city. Because there were 800 garrisons, the county commander in charge of civil affairs had to look at the face of the military camp most of the time, and even the city defense battalion was in the hands of the captain who was stationed in the local area and was known as General Wu.

At this moment, a string of money was extorted from the hands of a group of travelers entering the city, and a short sergeant had happily thrown it in his hand, when suddenly he saw a line of carriages and horses coming not far away, and his eyes suddenly brightened, and he whistled: "The fat sheep is here!" ”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back of the head: "Shut up!" Fool, keep your eyes peeled and see who is following the car! ”

The short sergeant rubbed the back of his head vigorously, and was slandering the team for relying on the old and selling the old, but after seeing the person clearly, he couldn't help but put away that greedy little thought. As the group of carriages and horses gradually approached, they saw a total of two carriages, the first one was a clear oil cart, the second one was a black oil cart, and there were twenty or thirty men accompanying them.

There are often so many people in ordinary caravans, but it is impossible for everyone to ride horses and cross swords! What's more, the riders on the horses are all strong and full of spirit, not to mention, even the horses are fat and strong, and they are clearly first-class military horses!

can have such a line of entourage, and the master in front of him who seems to be just sitting in an ordinary oil car, shows that he is either rich or expensive!

Without looking at the other people who had entered and left the city, the team was already trotting forward to meet him, but before he could reach the carriage, he was stopped by a guard in front of him. He hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "The humble position is the third team of the city defense battalion, if it is late today, the city gate is about to close, so in order not to delay the work of the nobles, I specially came to greet ......."

Before he could say the next word, a crisp voice came from the car: "Lead him the way." ”

Hearing this, the team was relieved. In a place like the city defense camp, what I am most afraid of is that some arrogant and domineering nobles do not show their way to the road at all by virtue of their identity, but they want these little people to take the tank when something happens. Now that the people in this car are still reasonable, it will be much easier to do. Seeing that the guard who was blocking the road took out the road guide and handed it over with an expressionless face, he hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it.

But after a glance, his complexion changed greatly, and his back, which was originally slightly bowed, was completely stiffened at this moment, and the bow was like a big prawn.

"It turned out that the main road of Huoshan County passed through Swallow City, and the lowly position immediately made way for people to clear the way......"

"Don't be too excited, it's only right to let us enter the city quickly!"

"Yes yes yes ......"

Yue Qianqiu, who spoke in the car, breathed a long sigh of relief, very glad that he didn't have to open the curtain to talk to people. He hates to ride in the car the most, and now he can't wait to stay in the car all day and don't come out, so that no one else can see his dignity now. Not to mention him, even the little monkey who has always jumped up and down the most lively, has completely wilted these days, crying and mourning all day long.

He glanced at Xiao Jingxian again, and saw that at a glance, he looked like he was wearing light makeup, without any traces of modification, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate and picturesque, and the woman's delicate femininity was fully revealed. If he hadn't been used to seeing it these days, he really wouldn't have recognized it.

He even doubted that Yue Xiaosi would be able to recognize this guy if he was standing here. The makeup kung fu of the Xiao family is really terrifying! Just a few bottles and cans of things, comparable to a complete set of cosmetics in later generations!

The most important thing is that Xiao Jing first wore a stone blue jacket, a mink scarf around his neck, and a rain-soaked azure pleated skirt that covered the upper of his shoes, as if he was not awkward at all, and he simply convinced this madman in his heart.

How many people in the world can guess that the famous former demon king is now a women's traveler?

But don't pull me up with your cosmia, I'm going crazy in this outfit!

The little monkey tugged at his sleeves, and finally couldn't help but stammer, "Gun...... The county lord ......"

Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, and when he saw the little monkey's pitiful face, he said lightly: "Bear with it, get used to it." ”

Get used to your size, if you can get used to this kind of thing, there is nothing in the world that you can't get used to!

Yue Qianqiu was so angry that he took an orange and threw it at Xiao Jingxian, but the person easily caught it and said slowly: "Orange is orange in Huainan, orange is orange in Huaibei, orange is orange in Huaibei, although I have oranges in Dayan, but it is not delicious, this is a first-class product that only exists in the market with the Southern Dynasties, you have to throw something else, don't spoil good things!" ”

Listening to the voices outside, knowing that he has officially entered this swallow city, even if Yue Qianqiu is annoyed, he can only hold it in his heart for the time being, and at this time he simply asked: "Where to live in the city?" It's the same as before, charter a whole inn, for fear that others won't know that the county lord of Huoshan has arrived in Swallow City? ”

"That's right." Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly.

Yue Qianqiu saw that the person's face was full of three words that you understand, and he immediately closed his mouth.

They have been out for five days, leaving early in the morning and staying overnight in the evening, and they have to walk more than 100 miles a day, except that they will camp when they are sure that there is no city in front of them, which is already considered very fast, but it is still incomparable with the day and night journey.

However, it is estimated that the Shangjing City will be able to hide it for three or five days, and it will definitely not be able to cover the news at this time, as long as the Shangjing City is six hundred miles away from the urgent notification of various traffic arteries, the images of him and Xiao Jingxian will soon be scattered everywhere like Yan Xu and them.

Yan Xu and others are also because of the relationship between those shadow graphics, they can't go too fast, after all, this is not Dawu in the south, there is no post station that can change horses for you at will, and it is also extremely eye-catching to gallop on the official road in broad daylight, so it is destined that both groups of people can only use the secret and safe but slow channel to return south.

In this case, Xiao Qingqing, the county lord of Huoshan who walked slowly all the way and had a documented trace, was the least likely to arouse suspicion.

It is clear that when the carriage finally stopped, Yue Qianqiu didn't know how much courage he had given himself, so he was ready to get off. The little monkey was fast, got up and got out of the car first, and when he got out of the car, he raised his hand very attentively and planned to support him. He slapped the hand away in anger, but in the end he took a deep breath and helped it.

Steadily, he glanced around, and saw that the guards had guarded the entrance and exit of this inn, and then he looked up, but saw that this inn was not good-looking, but it looked quite neat, and the plaque hanging was the words "Centennial Inn". He was already in a bad mood, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "The tone is big, just such a place, dare to claim a hundred years?" ”

As soon as the words fell, he only heard Xiao Jingxian's cold voice behind him: "Xiao Qian, don't find faults, this is also one of the best places in Swallow City, the word hundred years is just a signboard, not that it has really been opened for a hundred years." ”

"Yes, yes, Miss is as wise as a torch." The shopkeeper who came out was already trembling with fear by this huge battle, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel relieved. But as soon as he relaxed, he saw the little maid who was a little old but not a little imposing looking at him coldly. It's just that his eyes collided, and he couldn't help but lower his head.

Obediently, why is this little maid who looks like eleven or twelve at most with such fierce eyes?

"What Miss? This is the county lord of Huoshan, my family. Yue Qianqiu glanced at Xiao Jingxian, emphasizing the identity of this guy as the "Lord of Huoshan County", and seeing that the shopkeeper was really even more frightened, he glanced at the little monkey, coughed dryly and said, "Little Yuanzi, why don't you hurry up and bring someone in to change the cover and furnishings?" ”

Hearing this little Yuanzi, the little monkey only felt goosebumps all over his body. He would rather hear people call himself a hundred little monkeys than hear this little Yuanzi.

But before Yan Xu left him to Xiao Jingxian, saying that when he was a helper for Yue Qianqiu, Xiao Jingxian gave him two choices, either pretending to be a maid or pretending to be a eunuch, there was no third way to go. However, he was thin and thin, his appearance was not good, and he was not like Yue Qianqiu, who had red lips and white teeth, standing next to Xiao Jingxian, who was tall and outstanding, was extremely incompatible, and he was dumbfounded.

He heard that Yue Qianqiu was once dressed as a scholar, and he couldn't help bargaining, claiming that he could pretend to be the scholar who accompanied Xiao Jingxian out of Beijing before Yue Qianqiu, but Xiao Jingxian simply compared the height and size of the two people, and he immediately wilted.

And Xiao Jingxian's reason is also very sufficient, the Xiao family is in Beizhuang outside the capital, there is indeed such a simple little scholar, as long as he says that after leaving the city, the main suspect of Huoshan County is too stupid and leaves people behind. On the contrary, the eunuch he wants to play is in the former Lanling Palace, and later the Huoshan County Lord's Mansion has a foundation.

So, at that time, the little monkey couldn't refute, so he could only accept the facts, and agreed to be aggrieved.

At this time, he didn't need to pretend to say yes with a sad face, and then called a few guards to go to a black oil truck loaded with luggage to move things. And how dare the shopkeeper delay here, although there was a step earlier in the front station, and gave him a whole ingot of silver to vacate the house, but he was not fully ready, and there were a few guests who refused to move, so he had to follow in a hurry.

When all the guests had moved away, he greeted the group with a smile.

This century-old inn has a total of twenty or thirty rooms, which is more than enough to accommodate more than 30 people in this line, and as for the best one bright and two dark three upper rooms, it is left to Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu's little monkey.

When Xiao Jingxian and Yue Qianqiu entered the house one after another, they saw that the covers had been replaced with the whole set of things that they had brought, the tea sets for drinking tea had been replaced with new ones, and the porcelain furnishings in the eye-catching places had all been changed, and at first glance it looked a little more elegant. For this kind of style, I can't help but smack my tongue when I haven't seen a noble shopkeeper in a place like Swallow City.

And the little monkey didn't actually do much at all, just now it was completely two guards who were busy in front and back, and he just made a move. At this time, seeing Xiao Jingxian looking around and bowing slightly, as if he was quite satisfied, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Xiao Jing waved his hand first and ordered the shopkeeper to retreat first, and waited until the shopkeeper nodded and left, and closed the door, he glanced at the little monkey, and when he saw that people immediately went to the door to monitor the movements around, he stretched lazily, and then looked at Yue Qianqiu and said, "Do you know why I came to Swallow City?" ”

"It's weird to know!" Yue Qianqiu didn't bother to listen to Xiao Jing's sale of Guan Zi first, "Hurry up, otherwise will you let the little monkey keep blowing cold wind outside on a dark and windy day this month?" ”

Xiao Jingxian smiled slightly, and then said something that made Yue Qianqiu shocked.

"Count the days, the emperor may live here."
