A caravan burst out of the Xuanwu Gate and headed southwest. The caravan was led by several tall horses, with dozens of mule carts loaded with goods in the middle, and at the back of the caravan were several ornate wagons and some porters.

The whole team was continuously extended, and the flag raised high in front of the team was written with the word "Chu" of Douda, which was majestic and eye-catching. But anyone who has seen a little bit of the world knows that this is the caravan of SC Chengdu Baishi Mountain City, and only they have such a big pomp and grandeur.

Sun Yueling and Chu Xinying sat in the carriage and walked to the back of the caravan, he glanced back at the tall BJ city gate, and only saw the old but imposing couplet written on both sides of the city gate, "Sun and Moon, Light and Heavenly De, Mountains and Rivers Zhuang Emperor's Residence" glowing golden in the sun, majestic and shocking.

Finally left the Jingshi.

He was full of emotion in his heart, a year ago, he entered BJ City from here, but now, he has to leave this ancient capital that has been there for more than a year, and go to the southwest of the mountains and rivers to meet the next challenge in life.

Under Ye Xianggao's recommendation, he was recalled to the imperial court, transferred to the Imperial Procuratorate, and also served as the inspector of the imperial history. This is a position that everyone admires, and it was originally not his turn, but under the strong recommendation of Shoufu and Zhao Nanxing, Tianqi finally agreed to let him take this position.

The so-called patrol according to the imperial history, refers to the title of the supervision of the imperial history in the Imperial Procuratorate, although it is only a seven-grade official, but the power is very great, but all the officials, criminal names, money valleys, customs, etc., are omniscient, "on behalf of the Son of Heaven patrolling, according to the ministers, Fuzhou and county officials to investigate, impeachment is particularly specialized, major matters are judged, and small matters are decided." All political gains and losses, military and civilian benefits and diseases, must be bluntly spoken."

Moreover, this time he was released, and he was even more responsible for supervising and suppressing the rebel army, so he had great authority and great freedom in action.

After he learned the news that the imperial court had sent him out to the southwest, he immediately rushed to Chu Xinying's residence and told her the news. Chu Xinying was naturally overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately said that she would postpone the date of returning to Sichuan for three or five days, so that she could go on the road with Sun Yueling. Sun Yueling naturally would not refuse, and immediately began to prepare for leaving Beijing to take up his post after reporting to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

A few days before leaving the Beijing Division, he was miserable by those people in the Beijing Division. First, everyone in the care hall held a send-off banquet for him, and then colleagues who knew him in the Guozijian and the Criminal Department bid him farewell, and later, even Zhang Yinglong and Wen Zhibing, who had been seconded to him in Jinyi Weizhong to do things, also set a table for him in the best restaurant in Beijing.

This time he went to Sichuan to serve as a patrol press, and before leaving, he also asked Zhao Nanxing for advice, and transferred Zhang Pengyong, the former right-hand man of the Criminal Department, to Sichuan together, and brought his deputy Yi Fei in the care hall. This time, he didn't bring Han Qianshui with him, after all, he left Jingshi to take up his post, and he didn't know how long it would take to come back, so after discussing with Li Ruobing, he left Han Xiaoshui in Dongtang to take charge of specific affairs - with this calm and steady person presiding over Dongtang, he could rest easy.

This time he walked with Chu Xinying, after all, Chu Xinying is a businessman, they are officials, officials and businessmen are peers, which is very eye-catching, so he did not set up the guard of honor to patrol the imperial history, but dressed in civilian clothes, traveled lightly, and mixed in the entire caravan.

Sun Yueling looked at Chu Xinying, who was sitting opposite with a heroic posture, and was in a very good mood. Finally able to walk with her all the way, this road is long and long, but with this beauty by his side, even if it is a hundred and eight thousand miles, he is also willing to eat.

The caravan gradually moved farther and farther away from BJ City, and the tall walls of BJ City finally disappeared from view.

Sun Yueling felt comfortable, and couldn't help humming a song softly, even he didn't realize it: "How can you compete for fame in the world, the world is like water and uncertain." If you want to find the truth in the world, why not be afraid of running around in danger......"

Chu Xinying looked at him with a surprised face, as if she was looking at someone she didn't know, and said, "What song are you singing, why can't I understand a word?" ”

Sun Yueling came back to her senses and suddenly felt embarrassed, this is Cantonese in later generations, no wonder she couldn't understand it, and said nonsense: "This ...... It's a song I used to hear from other people, and it's not popular anymore, hehe......"

Chu Xinying looked at him and said with a smile: "Really? This song has a good rhyme, which makes people feel comfortable listening to it, why don't you sing it again? ”

Sun Yueling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't make fun of me, I don't have all five tones, so don't pollute your ears." ”

Chu Xinying looked serious and said, "I'm serious, this song is really good." ”

Sun Yueling was even more embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, saying, "Hey, you said that we are traveling all the way, will we encounter robbers and bandits?" ”

Chu Xinying raised her eyebrows and said, "Who dares?" Our Baishi Mountain City is the head of the four major merchant clans of the Ming Dynasty, and its prestige is spread all over the world, who dares to be presumptuous in front of us? After a pause, he smiled at him again, "Besides, we care about the hall master here, those thieves can't escape, and they dare to come to rob, are they impatient?" ”

Sun Yueling smiled: "You really lift me up." ”

Chu Xinying smiled heartily and said, "I really wish that some self-conscious thieves would come to send them to death, so I can see your martial arts and see how far I have improved." ”

Sun Yueling was speechless, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a sudden commotion in front of him, and then a loud voice came into his ears, the sound was like thunder, and the sentences were clear: "I opened this mountain, I carried this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road wealth." ”

Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, he really didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, he just said casually, how could the thieves cooperate so much, and said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao had arrived.

Chu Xinying was also surprised, opened the curtains, and looked ahead in disbelief.

Ma Hou had already run from the front at this time and said to them: "It's not good, there are thieves blocking the road ahead, and our convoy can't pass." ”

"Who is the thief so bold as to rob my goods in Baishi Mountain City?" Chu Xinying raised her sword in her hand, jumped out of the carriage first, and walked forward.

Sun Yueling hurriedly followed, walked to the front of the team to take a look, and saw a group of people and horses standing on the hillside in front, the north wind was like a knife, but these people were not afraid at all, and blocked their way forward.

He was terrified in his heart, what kind of people dared to block the road and rob in the early morning, this place is not far from BJ City, these thieves are not small, and they actually commit murder outside BJ City?

Could it be someone from Citigroup? Thinking of this, his heart shook, they wouldn't know so much about his patrol sc, so they deliberately came here to live right and wrong, right? If it's really them, I'm afraid this time it will be a fierce battle.

Chu Xinying stepped forward with her sword, pointed at the thief in front of her and shouted, "Who is it that dares to rob my goods in Baishi Mountain City and is impatient?" ”

One of the thieves strode out and said in a loud voice: "You don't care who we are, quickly call out Sun Yueling from the Care Hall, and we will let you wait, otherwise, you don't want to take half a step from here." ”

Chu Xinying was stunned when she heard this, this group of people actually didn't come to Baishi Mountain City, but to Sun Yueling, it's just that Sun Yueling's hiding in the caravan is a very secret thing, why do they know? Could it be that they are Sun Yueling's enemies?

Sun Yueling only then saw the face of the leader thief, this person has a high nose and broad ears, a dignified appearance, and a gorgeous robe, which makes him even more handsome and noble, and it is clearly Wu Xiaode, the difficult brother and brother who fell to Beijing together.

Sun Yueling was anxious, and rushed forward and scolded: "Wu Xiaode, what kind of fame are you doing, you want to rob Lao Tzu?" ”

When Wu Xiaode saw him come out, his voice became louder, and he said: "The people of the Thirty-six Dao of the Jingshi heard that Sun Yueling and Sun Tang's main inspector was going to leave the Jingshi today, and this important news was not reported to us and the others. We are not angry in our hearts, and we specially came to stop the driver, if you don't hand over the money to buy the road, you don't want to leave. ”

Ma Hou jumped forward and shouted, "Come on, let's pass my pass first." ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly stopped him, and smiled bitterly at Chu Xinying and Ma Hou: "It's okay, this person is Wu Xiaode, the Northern Hall Incense Master of the Thirty-sixth Dao, and he is my brother, he deliberately paused me to come." ”

Wu Xiaodewu shouted to himself: "Wrong. I'm no longer called Wu Xiaode, I've long since changed my name to Wu Chengde, doesn't Hall Master Sun know? It's no wonder that he didn't say a word when he left Jingshi, and it seems that he never took us to heart. ”

Sun Yueling yelled at him: "What's the matter, Wu Xiaode, have you said enough, Lao Tzu has endured you for a long time, isn't it just a change of name, it's worth making a fuss, Lao Tzu forgot to tell you when he left, it's my fault, are you satisfied now?" ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Xiaode immediately changed his face, laughed, and said, "That's right, like a brother." Also, let me repeat, my current name is Wu Chengde, not Wu Xiaode. ”

Sun Yueling smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you are Wu Chengde, not Wu Xiaode." Walked up to him and said, "You guy made such a big move, won't you be reluctant to let me go?" ”

Wu Chengde put away his playful smile, and said seriously: "Brother, I'm here to see you off, you are going, the mountains are high and the rivers are long, the road is long, when can you come back?" ”

Sun Yueling sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know, maybe a year and a half, maybe ...... There's no going back. ”

Wu Chengde vigorously pushed his chest and shouted: "Hugh is going to talk nonsense, if you don't come back, Lao Tzu will take you to the East Hall." If it weren't for the fact that we have a lot of eyes and ears, Lao Tzu really wouldn't have seen you, and he wouldn't have come to say hello when he left, which is really not enough brothers. ”

Sun Yueling grabbed his shoulder and said sincerely: "It's my brother's mistake, my brother has made amends to you." ”

Wu Chengde glanced at Chu Xinying behind him, and deliberately said loudly: "No wonder you forgot your brother, it turned out that you were accompanied by a beauty, hum, you really forgot your friends." Then he said behind him, "Wine, I'm going to see my brother off." Immediately behind him was a person holding a liquor that had been prepared long ago.

Wu Chengde handed him a wine glass and said, "Brother, I wish you a smooth journey and be invincible." ”

Sun Yueling took the wine glass, raised his neck and drank it all. He really didn't expect that Wu Chengde would come to see him off, and he really forgot about Wu Chengde, and he felt guilty in his heart.

After three glasses of wine, Wu Chengde said: "Brother, take care, when you come back, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." ”

Sun Yueling was moved for a while and said, "Thank you good brother, you also take care." ”

The thirty-six people had already stepped aside and moved out of the way, and Wu Chengde said: "Get out, remember to inform me when you come back, don't forget it again!" ”

Sun Yueling smiled, arched his hand at Wu Chengde, turned back to the people in the mountain city and said, "Let's go." ”

The whole caravan descended the hill and headed forward. After walking out of half a mile, he looked back and saw Wu Chengde's tall figure still standing on the high slope, watching them leave, the wind blew his clothes high and floated, and the whole person was like a boulder standing on the hillside.

"Goodbye, my good brother!" Sun Yueling muttered to himself in his heart, threw off his big stride, and rushed towards the unknown distance ahead.
