In June, the sun is scorching.

One night, in the early hours of the morning, ten miles west of the imperial capital, a horse-drawn carriage was moving slowly.

The driver was a black man with a stubble on his face, and there were three people sitting in the car, one was a young man of twenty-four or five years old, and the other two were as beautiful as fairies.

These four people are Zhang Meng, Wang Xu, Zhang Xue, and Wen Mengliang, and the four of them sneaked out of the imperial capital without being noticed by anyone.

Originally, Wang Xu also wanted Zhaoyang to go to play together, but Zhaoyang liked to stay in the palace, and in the end Wang Xu gave up, so he could only follow her wishes and leave her in the imperial capital.

There is another reason, Zhaoyang is inseparable from Xiao Wang Zhuo, and he misses it very much when he is not there for a day, so it is not suitable for long travel.

The carriage drove forward until dawn, when the four of them came to a county town and found an inn to stay in.

After walking all night, everyone was a little tired, and they fell asleep when they got out of bed, and slept very soundly.

However, Zhang Meng's task is to escort, so he didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and kept squatting outside the door to protect the safety of the three of them.

.............

Rested for the day at the inn.

Early the next morning.

"Husband, come and see, which way do we get to the snowy region?"

Zhang Xue was very interested, and came to the tea table with a map in his hand.

Wang Xu looked at it and said with a smile: "Do you need to say this, it must be out of Languan, through Guxi, and then across the Yangtze River, into Hexi to the snowy region, this is the nearest road." ”

Wen Mengliang frowned: "How long will it take, we have been swimming all the way upstream, and we are walking very slowly." ”

Wang Xu pinched his fingers and calculated: "By the time we arrive in Snowy County, I'm afraid it's already winter." ”

"Ahh It's going to take three months, maybe it's that long, right? ”

Zhang Xuedao.

"Three months is already the fastest, and I have to pass through dozens of counties along the way." Wang Xu said.

........

Had breakfast. The four of them set off again, again in a carriage, at a slightly slower pace. If you see a lively place, or you are tired of walking. All four will stop to rest.

In this way, they can only travel forty miles a day, and if they continue like this, they will definitely be three months later when they reach the snowy region.

From here to the Snowy County, the diameter is 4,000 miles!

..............

Imperial capital.

On the second day after Wang Xu left the imperial capital, Wang Xu did not go to the early court, and Jia Hui said that Wang Xu was not safe. Not on the court for the time being.

The third day was the same, owed.

It wasn't until the fourth day that Jia Hui told the truth, Wang Xu Weifu had a private visit, and he had left the imperial capital a few days ago, and no one knew where he went.

When they got the news, all the ministers were shocked.

The king of a dignified country left the capital and did not know where to go. That's a big deal.

The southern capital, the imperial court, the northern county, and those big families are all very likely to attack Wang Xu, especially the current Hu State, which is strong and powerful. There are a large number of secret weapons, and if Wang Xu has an accident outside at this time, they are very likely to take the opportunity to attack the Holy Dynasty.

The situation is extremely dangerous, and Wang Xu's life and death are directly related to the stability of the Dao Holy Dynasty.

In addition to those ministers who are worried about Wang Xu's safety, there are also some ministers who are extremely uneasy, such as those corrupt officials. Embezzled so much money and food, as long as you go to the local area to check. It's all understood.

After Wen Qing got the news of Wang Xu's private interview, he immediately called a few friends. Go back to the house to discuss important matters.

"Your Majesty is really, if you want to come out, you don't stay in a good palace, you have to go outside to suffer hardships." Wen Qing said worriedly.

"My lord, the imperial capital and Guxi County are not afraid, mainly Hexi County, many of the food funds for disaster relief have been fertilized by us, we..."

Hearing this, Wen Qing interrupted the person who spoke just now and said, "Lord Liu, you might as well do this thing, you might as well be a bad person, but you can't say it, even if it's like that, you can't say it, otherwise if you talk about it, we will be sincerely bad people." ”

"Always remember that we are good people and have never embezzled any money or food, you know?"

The other officials shook their heads, not quite understanding what Wen Qing meant.

"Forget it, you can make mistakes yourself."

Wen Qing said: "From now on, notify the county orders of Hexi County, get ready, at least do a good job of superficial work, if necessary, you can make some illusions, so that Your Majesty thinks that the world is peaceful, and our disaster relief has been used for both purposes." ”

"Yes."

..............

Half a month later, Guxi County and Qingyang County.

Wang Xu and the four of them settled here.

Qingyang County is only more than two hundred miles away from the Guxi Wangcheng, it is the nearest city, once Wang Xu was still stationed here, and it was also in this area to defeat the Guxi prince Zhou Yi, now the world is stable, the old land revisited, there is a taste of it.

"Husband, I'm tired of walking for days, or let's rest here for a few days." Zhang Xuedao.

Wen Mengliang also echoed.

Wang Xu smiled and nodded, he came out this time to accompany the two women on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and everything should follow his wife's opinion.

In fact, it is the same to go to the snow region a little later and to the snow region a little earlier, it's nothing, anyway, the affairs of the imperial capital have been arranged, and the palace will be fine for a year, there are officials such as the Military Aircraft Department and the Sixth Ministry, as well as the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervising hundreds of officials, and there are more Jinyi guards in the dark, and there will definitely be no big mess.

Therefore, Wang Xu is very relieved.

The four of them came to the street and wandered around casually, Wen Mengliang and Zhang Xue rarely went out of the palace, and they wanted to buy everything they saw, and Zhang Meng naturally became their wallet, and they also helped to take things.

In fact, most of the things I bought had to be thrown away, and only snacks were still useful.

"Don't say it, this meat skewer in Qingyang County is really good, buy more, we will eat it on the road." Wang Xu took a meat skewer in his hand and smashed it hard.

Zhang Meng cried and mourned, and went to buy a lot of meat skewers.

The streets were full of people, and the four of them walked around the street for a long time, and finally stopped for tea at a teahouse.

.......

Bang bang ...

At this time, there was a gong sound in the distance of the street, loud and majestic, everyone looked, and saw that there was a sedan chair being carried by four sedan chair men from south to north, in front and back of the sedan chair, there were a large number of soldiers supporting, some holding honor guards, which said 'avoidance', 'quiet', etc., and more than 100 soldiers accompanied them.

Looking at the posture, it must be the county order of the government to travel.

A large crowd of people walked by the road, and the people in the streets retreated in both directions.

"Hey, husband, what are you counting?"

Wang Xu smiled: "It's the sound of a gong." ”

"What are you counting this for?"

Wang Xu looked at Wen Mengliang: "You don't know this, this is the rule I made myself, the honor guard of the officials of this dynasty is by the rules, this official uses the Tao, uses the gong to open the way, there is also a law to follow, according to a small county order, can only strike seven gongs, on behalf of the officials and the people."
