Baoan Prefecture is a place with geographical interdisciplinary characteristics, to the north, is a military control area hundreds of miles deep, where only guards are set up, and there are no prefectures and counties, which belongs to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty; To the south, there is the rich and vast Middle Earth, close to the first good place of Shuntianfu; However, Baoan Prefecture and Weitong City are semi-military control and semi-administrative governance places, and because the world has been peaceful for a long time, it is difficult for the captives to affect this place, so the military control characteristics of Baoan Prefecture are increasingly weakened.

The inhabitants here migrated to Juyongguan in the Hongwu period, and the state was reestablished in the thirteenth year of Yongle, and after decades, the population here gradually became more prosperous.

The long streets in the city are shaded by green trees, and the winding and quiet bluestone alleys are lined up one after another. Passers-by walk very calmly, the movement is slower than when modern people walk, time seems to slow down the rhythm here, pedestrians, residents, and businesses between their gestures, all slowly, leisurely and tranquil, the scene and the slowly moving shadow of the sun seem to match very well.

Standing on the unfamiliar long street and feeling the leisurely atmosphere around him, Zhu Qiming still had a trace of trepidation in his heart, looking around blankly, wanting to search for the shadow of the familiar home in Lujia Village, but this is a state city, and the rural scenery is no longer there.

From self-protection and self-help to saving people, and from saving people to returning to the state of self-protection and self-help, Fang has experienced a leap forward, and ushered in a blink of an eye to turn back time. If it goes on like this, it will eventually be baptized by blood and rain at some point in the future.

He is not worried about the state official being troublesome, the state official is carrying gunpowder, how dare he shake off something? I'm afraid they only have the life left to burn incense and pray for blessings, and they hope that he, the prince, will keep that tacit understanding and interpret it tacitly to the end.

He was only worried about the dark forces, which seemed to be everywhere and seemed to be nowhere to be found.

It was already noon, and bursts of hunger hit, Zhu Qiming touched the piece of broken silver in his arms, and the figure of Aunt Fang suddenly appeared in his mind. He still lied to Aunt Fang, pretending that he wanted to open his eyes in the state city, so he persuaded Aunt Fang to leave home first. Before parting, Aunt Fang, who was reluctant to spend more copper plates on weekdays, gave him a piece of broken silver, and weighed the weight, which should be more than one or two.

Alas, I never said that I cherished it, so I was separated from this day, and when I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.

"Childe, will you find a place to have lunch first?" The five strong men sent by Miss Xun only left three people, and two of them refused to leave, saying that they were instructed by Miss Xun to bring Zhu Qiming back to Lujia Village safely. But it's okay, with the Xun family as the backing, the two of them naturally won't let Zhu Qiming pay out of their pockets, no, as soon as they catch up with the meal, they will be called.

No one seemed to pay attention to this side, Zhu Qiming pretended to be casual and looked around, and then led the two into a secluded alley.

The aroma of wine is not afraid of the deep alley, only to see a restaurant in and out of the crowd of people, come to the door, look at the name of the store on the plaque, hehe, the tone is not small: "the alley is fragrant"!

The northern towns do not discriminate against the countrymen as much as the southern cities, and when the shopkeeper saw that three people dressed in rural clothes had entered the store, he immediately greeted them and beckoned the three of them upstairs to the private room. The two strong men did not shirk and led Zhu Qiming upstairs.

There were several people talking to each other in a private room, and the content of the conversation seemed to involve the Security Prefecture Bureau, and Zhu Qiming couldn't help but stop and listen for a moment.

"Lord Zhizhou finally made a threat, it is said that Lord Zhizhou made a statement in the morning, and strictly ordered the officials to stay in the state government honestly, and in case of a case, they were sent out to handle the case, and if they went out without permission in violation of the order, they would all be sent home."

"Brother Tai is well-informed!"

"I have some friendship with Tongzhi-sama. Besides, this matter is not a secret matter, and perhaps the governor of the state would like to announce this order to the whole state. ”

"Hey, I see! Baoanzhou, which has more than 40,000 people, has recruited more than 1,000 servants, so how many people have to support them? Now it's good, there is no nuisance of servitude, the people of Baozhou are simple, and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"Lord Zhizhou's trick is ruthless enough! cut off people's financial roads, and many servants are just afraid that they will roll up and leave. ”

・・・・・・

In the private room, two strong men are in full swing. The two of them can go to the state city to open their eyes, and they don't have to spend their own money, such a beautiful thing, but it is rare to meet twice in a lifetime! Therefore, Zhu Qiming's excuse to stay here is exactly what the two of them want.

"The two of you should hurry back and recover your life, I have my own way to go back to Lujia Village." Zhu Qiming looked at these two men in their thirties, and felt a little grateful in his heart, but he didn't want to inquire about the names of the two clearly, so as not to get rid of them by getting rid of them.

The two of them didn't hear it, and one of them turned his head to look out the window at the backyard and exclaimed, "Hey, what a strange peony flower!" ”

Zhu Qiming followed the man's gaze, was surprised for a moment, and when he turned his head to look at the man again, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of him secretly: he is almost forty years old, and he is still blind!

"That's a tud." Zhu Qiming pouted. If an adult Confucian student sees this flower, he will inevitably hurt the spring injury, the so-called "blooming to the flower". Zhu Qiming was young, and when he saw it, the shadow of the palace flower garden suddenly flashed in his mind, and his heartstrings were gently plucked, but the homesick heart only stayed for a moment.

After the breeze, there is a fragrance, and it is known that it is a short wall. Smelling the wisps of fragrance wafting from the window, Zhu Qiming's thoughts focused on his own direction.

It would be unwise to embark on the return journey back to Beijing alone. So, should you go to the local garrison for help? It doesn't seem to work, Xu Gong's exhortation is still in his ears, after seeing the unbearable situation of the Weisuo army, he has long lost confidence in this group of Taiping troops, as soon as they encounter a fierce enemy, those people will definitely collapse at the touch of a button, and it is a great risk to show their identities to them.

Besides, Xu Gong seems to have also advised: The transfer of the guard army must be authorized by the Ministry of War, and must be sealed by Sima Jian, and the letters of personnel come and go, which lasts for a long time, and it will inevitably alarm many ears and eyes.

For today's plan, I can only wait here for the news of the master and Xu Gong. People who want to take their lives immediately will definitely not make more efforts in a crowded place, and the people on the bright road do not dare to take the risk of the nine clans to openly murder the royal family, even if it falls into their hands, there will be no danger of their lives for a while.

Moreover, it is hidden in the city, such as being a shopkeeper in "Xianglixiang", and it is not easy for others to find themselves. It's just that the two tails in front of me have to be thrown off as soon as possible.

"Go back quickly, your young lady is waiting for you to reply."

This time, the two no longer pretended to be deaf, and one of them said: "Little brother, no, I can't call you little brother!" He was already three points drunk, and his tongue couldn't be straightened, "Childe, the Xun family is a good family, we can get a job in the Xun family, that's a great thing to have face, who doesn't cherish it?" Miss Xun sent a message, we dare not disobey. Childe might as well spend a few days here, and then go back with us. ”

How many days is the pastime? With your young lady's money squandered so much, you can simply say that you have half a year of recreation!

Zhu Qiming just wanted to open his mouth to pick up people, but he heard another person: "Yes, we are rough people, we have practiced martial arts for more than 20 years, and we are not a famous and decent disciple, except for farming, we only have the life of running the rivers and lakes to sell art." Now that you can do things in the Xun family, how can you not be a responsible person. Master Xun has only one daughter, which was only obtained when the master was in his thirties, and is regarded as the pearl of his palm. Who is the most effective in the Xun family? Miss! If the two of us leave you alone, then the good days will come to an end! ”

What are you doing with Silas! What about a woman in her thirties? It's not an autumn gourd, it's hard to raise!

Zhu Qiming couldn't get rid of the two, he couldn't run away from them, and he was restless, so he pointed to the man near the window and said to the man inside: "Hurry up, you have a small amount of alcohol, you can't drink him, disperse as soon as possible!" ”

"I can't drink him? Joke! Shop, another jar of wine! ”

Soon there was an extra jar of wine on the table, and Zhu Qiming's eyes lit up, and then he realized that his unintentional angry words had a stimulating effect.

Wait for the two of them to fight and leave quietly, and then find a restaurant in the deep alley, and sell wine and hide! Thinking of this, Zhu Qiming threw himself into the case early, looking out the window, but Yu Guang was paying attention to the two of them pushing the cup and changing the lamp.

After a long time, seeing the two men's eyes straight and their heads shaking, Zhu Qiming raised his eyebrows and stood up quietly.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a commotion downstairs, and before Zhu Qiming could react, a group of brocade guards broke in, and in the blink of an eye, two embroidered spring knives rested on the necks of two drunks, and four brocade guards rushed forward and dragged the two out very quickly.

A brocade guard like Xu Gongchu's fashion dress walked in quickly, excitement seemed to fill every pore on his face.

"Your Highness, it's so hard to find you here!"
