Runan County is located in the southernmost part of Runan County, almost to the boundary of Geyang County; Most of the bandits in Yuzhou are active in Yingchuan and other places in the north, so Xun Gang's trip was very safe. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why it is said that it can be reached in one day is mostly because the terrain of Runan County is flat and there are very few bandits, otherwise it will be a little more chaotic, and I am afraid that it will not be able to arrive in two days.

Crossing Xincai, Dian Wei drove the carriage across a river, and it was a flat field. The wilderness is extremely barren, with dead trees everywhere, and the occasional crow flying over makes this place even more desolate.

"This place is really barren......" Xun Gang lifted the curtain of the carriage and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that a few years ago, this place was still full of corpses." ”

Dian Wei, who was driving in front of him, heard this and replied: "Gongzi is indeed smart, when the Yellow Turban broke out, Yuzhou was the main combat site, and there were many villages in this place, but because of the plundering of the Yellow Turban, this place became a sea of corpses, and the plague caused all the surrounding villages to be uninhabited. ”

Xun Gang really saw the wreckage of many villages not far away, and sighed helplessly in his heart.

"These are troubled times......"

"Childe, Runan County is not far away, and I should be able to reach Yuan's Mansion before dark."

Xun Gang nodded, but he was depressed in his heart, all parts of Yuzhou are so barren, after he takes power...... Can it really be governed?

The carriage continued to march across the field, the sun was about to set, and the night seemed to be coming; But fortunately, before the night came, Dian Wei saw the county town of Runan not far away, which was about twenty miles away. After determining the direction, Dian Wei hurried up, hoping to arrive as soon as possible.

"It's Xun Gongzi's car in front of you?"

When about ten miles away from Runan, an old voice suddenly came out of the side of the road, Dian Wei hurriedly stopped, Xun Gang opened the curtain, and saw an old man standing quietly on the side, his body in linen trembled slightly, and he was holding a horse in his hand, which seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

"It's here, dare to ask if Zunjia is from the Yuan family?"

When the old man heard this, a smile bloomed on his face: "If it is really Xun Gongzi, he is a servant under Yuan Gong, and he is specially waiting for Gongzi here; Now that Childe has arrived, then come with me! ”

The servant didn't say a word, and got on his horse and flew towards Runan, not to mention that this man's body seemed to be very weak, and his horseback riding skills were not inferior to some military personnel; Before Xun Gang could ask more, he hurriedly ordered Dian Wei to catch up with the man.

"Childe, although the Yuan family said that someone would come to pick them up, it would be too rude to greet them so casually!" Dian Wei said indignantly, "The Runan Yuan family is also a big family, and it is not an exaggeration to have more than a thousand servants, and the prince is a famous person in Yuzhou, and they only sent one person here!" Outrageous! ”

Xun Gang was very indifferent to this, and while ordering Dian Wei to ride his horse, he said: "Dian Wei, I have lost the protection of the Xun family, and I am just a small businessman on the surface. You should know that Shang Jia's status is very low, and it is already very face-saving for his Yuan family to send someone to greet him...... If you want others to respect you, the premise is that you have to have the ability to make others respect, is it just a pot of wine that the Yuan family will respect me? ”

"Childe ......"

"Okay, don't say it, let's go."

Runan County is very large, but after all, it is not as big as the county town of Qianxian County, and the moss on the city wall seems to tell the years of time; Several soldiers were lazily guarding the door, and when they saw the servants of the Yuan family riding horses, they immediately came to their senses and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Seeing this, the servant was not in a hurry, and after the soldier said that "no horseback shall be ridden in the city after sunset", the servant took out a token from his belt without hurry, and asked in a trembling voice, "Can I ride a horse now?" ”

The soldier took the token suspiciously, was instantly shocked, and hurriedly returned the token, saying, "Please!" ”

The servant showed a sneering smile, and sure enough, there was a big tree to enjoy the shade, and then he commanded: "There is a carriage behind, it is my Yuan family's honored guest, you can't stop it, understand?" ”

"Yes, yes......"

When Xun Gang walked to the gate of Runan City, he originally thought that he would be asked to get out of the car for inspection, but those soldiers didn't seem to see anyone, so they put him in directly.

The carriage traveled all the way to the first intersection, only to see the previous servant smiling on the horse, and after Xun Gang showed his face, the man said: "Xun Gongzi, my Yuan Gong's mansion is in the south of the city, please follow me." ”

When he entered the city, the man rode at a noticeably slower pace, and the hooves of the horses rattled in the road, making great noise against the wheels; But Xun Gang is very strange, why don't the people in the surrounding houses run out to scold?

Perhaps only the Runan people themselves know that the person who dares to ride a horse at this time must be a member of the Yuan family, who dares to insult him?

The street was very dark, and Dian Wei could only rely on the direction of the sound of horses' hooves in front of him to drive slowly, and after walking for a few miles, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him suddenly stopped.

"Childe, it's here." The servant whispered, then slowly dismounted, handing the horse to the servant who was guarding the side.

Xun Gang slowly got out of the car under Dian Wei's service, looking at the dim Yuan family mansion, Xun Gang couldn't deduce how big this mansion was, and who was stronger than the Thorn History Mansion?

The servant looked at Xun Gang with a smile and said, "Master Xun, please come with me." ”

Xun Gang nodded and motioned for Dian Wei to follow, and the servant hurriedly stopped him when he saw this: "Childe, this entourage is naturally arranged, and I also ask Childe to go with me alone to visit Yuan Gong." ”

Xun Gang's face remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, the last time Zhou Yanggong came to the cold house, you were the one who followed...... You didn't stop your follower Zhou Yang Gong at that time, so why did you stop my servants from following me today? ”

"This ......"

The servant was about to explain, but suddenly saw Dian Wei's huge body, his face was extremely hideous, it was simply evil in the world, and his legs were instantly frightened, why didn't he think this man was so terrible before?

"This, this...... Childe, please take care of it, and I will arrange for someone to take care of the carriage. ”

Xun Gang pretended to be satisfied and nodded, and asked the servant to lead the way; Under the invisible coercion of Dian Wei, the servants only received orders, and crawled in the darkness.

The moonlight shone on the dim Yuan Mansion, reflecting the silver light of every stone, which was indeed beautiful; There is a huge lake in the center of the mansion, and there are many pavilions and paths, and the bright moon is reflected on it, which becomes a natural light, which is intoxicating.

"Childe, please ...... here"

Bypassing the lake, there was a huge house in front of it, which in Xun Gang's impression was completely comparable to the main hall of He Jin's General's Mansion; Xun Gang walked in with the servants, but saw twelve servants standing on both sides with lamps, and the pomp was huge, illuminating the entire room.

Employing people directly without a lampstand? Admire under it.

From the outside, the hall is extravagant, and the decoration lives up to its name; Xun Gang saw a lot of decorations and jade that he couldn't name, and the source of all these belongings seemed to come from the old man who was sitting on the mat in front of him.

"Zhou Yanggong, it's been a long time."
