On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Xian officially left Muyang Academy.

Two carriages, the first carriage carrying people and some important things, the latter carrying his books, luggage, belongings, and so on.

Back in the county seat, Xu Xian first went to Baohetang to pick up Bai Suzhen, and then went to his brother-in-law's house together.

Although he has already become a family, because he will soon go north to Bianjing to study Guozijian, and Bai Suzhen also has Baohetang, Xu Xian is not in a hurry to buy a courtyard as a home.

Arriving at his brother-in-law's house, Li Xu and Li Gongfu waited at home for a long time.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different, in addition to the family's wealth, Xu Xian's fame, and marrying a daughter-in-law and other festive celebrations, there is also sorrow. Because after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Xian was going to leave for Bianjing.

Qiantang County to Bianjing is a long way, back and forth is hard and unsafe, Xu Xian to Bianjing, at least until next summer may not go home, this is Xu Xian's real sense of going out.

Li Gongfu asked for leave today, it stands to reason that it is impossible for his position to take leave on such a day, but fortunately, Yang Zheng, the magistrate of the county, is accommodating, and for the sake of Xu Xian's face, he was allowed to take leave.

After lunch, the family sat down and talked.

Li Gongfu said: "Hanwen, I have already found the accompanying caravan, it is a big caravan, and it is also to Bianjing." In addition, I also found a strong martial arts and experienced dart master to escort you to Bianjing. ”

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Xu Xian said gratefully.

Li Gongfu waved his hand and sighed: "It would be nice if Guozijian was still in Lin'an City." The north is not as good as the south, after all, the north has just been recovered for many years, although the imperial court has swept Zhao'an twice, but there are still many robbers and bandits. In the south, as long as you take the official road, there is basically no danger, but in the north it is difficult to say. ”

It turned out that the northern land of the Great Sheng Kingdom had fallen for decades, and under the rule of foreign races, the people who had not had time to flee south had many contradictions with the invaders, and many people hid in the mountains to build villages to protect themselves, and after decades of evolution, they became the role of bandits and robbers in the middle of the mountains. Of course, some are real bandits themselves.

Dashengguo restored its northern homeland and carried out a recruitment or sweep of the main cottages, but because there were too many bandits, some scattered and small bandit groups had not had time to recruit or clean up. Or some of them are after Zhao'an, their wildness is difficult to change, and they become bandits and robbers again.

Bai Suzhen pondered for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, sister, I plan to let Xiaoqing escort the official to Bianjing." ”

On the way from Baohetang to Li Gongfu's house, because they didn't see each other for a while, Bai Suzhen took care of Xu Xianqing and me, and didn't have time to tell Xu Xian about Xiaoqing's idea of escorting him for the time being.

"Xiaoqing?" Li Gongfu and Li Xu couldn't help but be surprised, and Xu Xian was also surprised.

Li Gongfu and Li Xu thought that they had misheard, and thought to themselves, how can Xiaoqing escort Hanwen with a maid? Waiting for Chinese on the road is almost the same.

Of course, Xu Xian knew that it was more than enough for Xiaoqing to protect him to go to Bianjing, but the problem was that the relationship between him and Xiaoqing was a bit complicated, and it was not good for him to be lonely and widowed along the way.

Bai Suzhen expected the reaction of Xu Xian and the others, and said with a smile: "You can't underestimate Xiaoqing, she is not a weak woman, she has learned good martial arts since she was a child." I dare say that there are few people in Qiantang County who can beat her. ”

"Really?" Li Gongfu and Li Xu raised their eyes slightly, and looked at Xiaoqing who was standing behind Bai Suzhen with a look of disbelief.

Xiaoqing stood up, hugged his fists at Li Gongfu and said, "Master, please advise." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a try." Li Gongfu stood up and walked towards the courtyard.

He can become the head catcher of Qiantang County, in addition to being more good at being a person and having some creation, the main reason is that he is strong in martial arts, and everyone admires him.

Xiaoqing followed to the courtyard, and Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and Li Xu also walked to the courtyard to watch.

Li Gongfu moved his body slightly, and said to Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing girl, you use your strongest move to attack." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiaoqing said: "Master, please use your saber, and then attack the slave with all your might." ”

Li Gongfu was about to say that the sword has no eyes, but then changed his mind. This is a matter of Xu Xian's safety, if he can't even pass this level, how can he resist the fierce and inhuman robbers and bandits, and how to protect Xu Xian's safety?

So, he said to Li Xu, "Bring me a knife." ”

Li Xu obviously thought of going with Li Gongfu, and without saying a word, he turned around and went into the house to get Li Gongfu's saber.

After Li Gongfu got the saber, he pulled out the scabbard and slashed at Xiaoqing without warning.

Xiaoqing naturally dodged very easily, and Li Gongfu immediately increased his efforts to attack, and for a while, the sword light was like snow, illuminating the entire courtyard, and Xu Xian, Bai Suzhen and Li Xu were forced to retreat into the house.

After about half a cup of tea, Xiaoqing waited for Li Gongfu to perform all the moves, stopped dodging, and then defeated Li Gongfu with one move.

"Master, the slave is offended." Xiaoqing saluted.

Li Gongfu was defeated, not annoyed at all, and admired happily: "I didn't expect the little green girl to have such a strong martial arts, and I am relieved to have the little green girl escort Hanwen." ”

Li Xu was also both happy and surprised, but she said to Bai Suzhen: "Brother and sister, the little young girl went to Bianjing with Hanwen, what should you do?" There is no one around to take care of it. ”

"Sister, my sister is able-bodied, healthy, and thinks she can take care of herself." Bai Suzhen said, "I really don't feel at ease without Xiaoqing's escort. Although the brother-in-law invited a strong martial arts dart master, but after all, it was paid for money, and when he really encountered a big danger, the dart master might feel that he couldn't beat him and fled first, leaving Xianggong a scholar to be slaughtered. ”

Li Xu nodded worriedly: "Yes, after all, it is unreliable to spend money to invite you." ”

"So, I plan to let Xiaoqing dress up in disguise, be a scholar next to Xianggong, and protect herself, and the dart master invited by my brother-in-law is responsible for correspondence and vigilance." Bai Suzhen said.

Li Xu and Li Gongfu couldn't agree more.

As for Xu Xian, it seems that he only has to accept it.

Finalize the matter of Xu Xian's north trip to Bianjing, and then everyone intends not to talk about it and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival happily.

In the evening, after the family sat in the courtyard to admire the moon, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen returned to the room, and naturally a parting was indispensable.

The spring night is short!

On the second day, outside the north gate, Li Xu grabbed Xu Xian's hand and cried into tears.

Sister and brother have a deep relationship, not to mention that Li Xu's family almost regards Xu Xian as a son, and they are naturally very reluctant to Xu Xian to go to Bianjing.

Li Gongfu's eyes were also moist, and he turned his back to secretly wipe his tears, although he was not related by blood, he had no shallow feelings for Xu Xian, and he was reluctant to let Xu Xian leave.

After a while, Li Gongfu saw that the hour was almost up, stepped forward to pull Li Xu away, and persuaded: "Okay, don't cry." It is a great joy for Hanwen to go to Bianjing Guozijian to study, and many people will not be envious of it for a lifetime, so they should be happy to see it off. What's more, Hanwen will be back next year. ”

After saying goodbye to Li Xu, the next thing is to say goodbye to Bai Suzhen.
