Xiapi City, originally the fief of Zou Ji, the doctor of Qi State, has a long history. Since the Han Dynasty, it has been governed by Xuzhou. In the fifth year of Zhongping, when Tao Qian served as the pastor of Xuzhou, he built Xiapi City extremely strongly, and adhered to the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, formed a good Gongsun Zhan, and fought with the Danyang soldiers and the Yellow Turbans that flowed between Qingxu and Xu. In four years, Tao Qian relied on the power of Chen, Mi and other big clans and giants in the territory to rest with the people, and the entire Xuzhou people's livelihood was happy and happy, and the trade and trade circulation became a rare pure land at the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the troubled times.

Qin Xu came to Xiapi this time, and only brought the three brothers of Zang Ba and the "dirty work expert" Sima Maokong Er and others, leaving Lao Xu, who had a steady personality, to deal with Gao Shun's surprise inspection, so he did not alarm the others, and when the group of seven people arrived in Xiapi City, it was already dusk.

Tao Qian was in the prime of life at this time, and his ambition to protect the land and the people was still long, far from the old man who was terminally ill six years later and wanted to entrust the foundation to others.

Zang Ba because he had served here for a period of time before Zang Hong was killed and imprisoned, he was very familiar with Xiapi City, and had a conversation with the guards of the city gate in the local dialect of Xuzhou, which made it easy for the guards to believe the identity of the Qingzhou businessmen compiled by Qin Xu when he came.

"Young master, they seem to be checking someone, and they don't mean to embarrass passers-by. Besides, a few of us don't look like those yellow turban thieves who can't eat enough, so it's easy to believe our words. Zang Ba easily entered the state, and seeing Qin Xu's puzzled look, he explained with a smile.

Qin Xu's identity as the son of a giant businessman in Qingzhou was made up, Zang Ba looked very old, his identity was "Qin Family Butler", and the rest of the people pretended to be family guards, so Zang Ba changed the title of the young master.

"Looking for someone? Who's in shame? Putting on such a big battle, elite soldiers were used at the city gates. Sima Mao had been in battle for a long time and was very sensitive to whether the soldiers had ever been on the battlefield, so he blurted out and immediately felt that he had made a mistake and chuckled.

"That person doesn't seem to be easy to say, and I didn't ask about it." Zang Ba and Sima Mao have fought together, so they have a good relationship.

"Okay, let's put away your curiosity, haven't you heard that curiosity kills cats, it's you!" Qin Xu shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm waiting for this trip just to see if I can get on the line with the Mi family, and if it's not good, I have to get tens of thousands of stone grain for emergency relief, so don't make trouble in vain." ”

"No!"

"Master Qin, phew, young master, have you brought any money?" Sima Mao was scolded by Qin Xu with a smile, quite unconcerned, and asked.

"Money? What money? When we get to Lao Zang's territory, do we still need to spend money? After being scolded plainly, Qin Xu glanced at Sima Mao angrily, and said: "You don't know that Lao Zang also used to be a general under Tao Qian before, and later if Zang Sima was killed, Lao Zang resigned and returned to save his father, maybe he would have been a chief officer like a captain of the cavalry." ”

"Lao Zang still has this ability?" Sima Mao had never heard Zang Ba say it, and he had always seen Zang Ba call him brother and brother with Sun Guan, Yin Li and others, and thought that Zang Ba was born as a thief in Taishan.

"Ahem, it's just a little bit of a little thing from before. The young master is right, when we arrive at our Lao Zang's territory, we will naturally take care of the food and drink. Anyway, you won't be hungry, you dead cat! Zang Ba said indifferently. After experiencing Cao Cao's defeat, he regarded Qin Xu as a celestial, and he didn't say anything with the slightest contempt, but no matter what amazing words Qin Xu said, he had immunity. For Qin Xu to know about his previous experience, it was also a reasonable thing.

"I'm talking about the money to buy food!" Sima Mao patted his head, looked at Zang Ba speechlessly, and said: "Even if you have dealt with the Mi family, but this is Xuzhou, is it possible that we are also like in Yecheng?" I knew I should have brought more people. Just a few of us, how much can we move? ”

"Do you need money to buy food?" Before Zang Ba could speak, Qin Xu asked with a smile.

"This ...... Probably, maybe yes? Kong Er was stunned and looked at the few people who were playing dumb riddles, scratched his head, and suddenly said, "Xuzhou has no grudges with us in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, so it's not good to grab it out of thin air!" ”

"Think for yourself!" Qin Xu looked at Sima Mao and Kong Er stunned speechlessly, and said angrily.

I really don't know how these two people can still get involved in this, the main reason for this is to explore the way, strive to connect with the Jujia Mi family, and provide Qingzhou with a channel that can continuously import food. Besides, tens of thousands of stone grains can cost thousands of gold, even if Qin Xu really has that kind of thought, there are only seven people in the group, and even if he gets it, he can't get it back.

"Quick, she's ahead! I saw her! ”

Just when Qin Xu came to a small wine shop under the guidance of Zang Ba, and was about to eat something first and wait for the news of Wu Dun and the others, there was a sudden noise at the corner of the street.

"What's going on? The security of Picheng is not good now? Qin Xu was hesitating, when suddenly a petite figure was like a headless fly, and under the confusion, he rushed towards the seat of Qin Xu and the others.

"Protect the young master!" After all, Sima Mao and Kong Er were stunned because they were from the camp, and they had been by Qin Xu's side for a long time, their bodies seemed to be conditioned, and they dodged and staggered in front of Qin Xu.

"Get out of the way!" The figure didn't seem to expect that someone would dare to block the way, and before almost hitting Kong Er's stunned body, he slid and turned out to be short, dodging Kong Er's stunned arm in front of him, and rushed directly between Sima Mao and the two. Sima Mao and the two of them also crawled out of the pile of dead people, how could they make such a small mistake, seeing that although this figure was petite but very flexible, he was able to come up with such a way to dodge, Sima Mao made a ghost and stretched out his calf.

"Ahh The man was grieved. It was easy to pass through Kong Er's stunned arm, but he didn't notice a calf that suddenly appeared on the ground, and under the wrong step, he fell towards Qin Xu like a milk swallow throwing himself into the forest.

Before Qin Xu could see the appearance of the person who came, a soft body crossed a parabola and was about to be planted at the corner of the low table next to Qin Xu's cushion, under the conditioned reflex, Qin Xu could only use his hand to support it upward, avoiding the intimate contact between this person and the corner of the table, but he suddenly felt that there were two soft and crispy lumps at the beginning of the hand, full and smooth, and he was suddenly shocked.

Broken! Qin Xu was shocked in his heart, this is really sitting at home behind closed doors, and disaster comes from the sky.

Qin Xu is not a fool, and even if he is a fool, he should know that he must be in trouble. Even in the later life, if you accidentally touch someone else's girl, even if you don't get two slaps, you can at least get a hooligan's scolding, not to mention that this is now at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Although I don't know who this girl provoked and was chased by so many people, it is a sure thing to "plant" it in her hands. If the identity is seen through by someone in the city because of this, it will be troublesome.

"Thief, don't let go of your stinky hands yet!" The person in his arms seemed to deliberately lower his voice, containing endless shame and anger, and whispered angrily.

Qin Xu looked away, this person turned out to be a little girl who was not very old. The luxurious clothes show that this little girl is definitely not an ordinary family; The long waist-length thick hair, simply tied together, is a common girl's outfit for big men, because it is already a little scattered because of the reason for running fast just now; The delicate face is not powdered, and her appearance is different from Cai Yan's elegance and Lu Lingqi's heroism, giving people a very cute feeling; The pink cheeks are faintly flushed, and the thin and short fluff can be seen in the wrong light, as if they are steaming, making people want to take a bite. It's a pity that there are a pair of bright and beautiful big eyes, but at this time, they are full of grievances and hatred, looking at Qin Xu dissatisfied.

"Ugh! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Qin Xu hurriedly let go, avoiding the little girl's devouring gaze, and looked away, our Qin master book is essentially a young man living in the new era, seeing that he accidentally offended someone, no matter what, he still had to hurry up and apologize.

"Help me hide! Fast! The person who shouted before on the street seemed to be about to come in, the little girl glared at Qin Xu fiercely, there was already a precursor to a madness, but she seemed to be very afraid of the people behind, and took the opportunity to get up and whispered to Qin Xu.

"This? All right! "Who let us accidentally offend people? Qin Xu touched his nose, glanced at Sima Mao and the two of them, signaled the two of them not to patronize the play, and hid the little girl in the screen behind him.

"Young master, I just saw someone hiding in, do you think we ......?" The group of people who walked in looked like family members, running out of breath, and after looking around, one of them saluted a young man who came after him, and said.

"Isn't it? Forced search? It's not that the eldest brother hasn't commanded, don't you remember that there are few people in the army to provoke? Okay, let's take a look outside, don't give the Cao family an excuse to make trouble! The young man known as the young master glanced around the people in the wine shop, his eyes stayed on the screen behind Qin Xu for a moment, as if he hadn't found anything, and said to the people around him unhappily.

"But the young master!" The entourage wanted to say something, but when they saw that the young man had already retreated, they could only smash their mouths and follow them out.

"The Cao family? The Cao family of the Xuzhou military may be Cao Bao, Lu Bu's cheap father-in-law in history, right? Qin Xu thought evilly. These people are kind of interesting. Looking at this young man's actions just now, Qin Xu knew that he must have suspected the screen behind him, but he knew that as long as he opened the screen behind him, he could find the little girl, but he still didn't know what he was afraid of, maybe it was the Cao family that this person had just said was able to retreat at this time.

"People are gone, you can come out!" Seeing that these people had already exited the hall, Qin Xu said to the screen behind him.

"Humph! It's disgusting that you have just dared to be rude to Miss Ben! The little girl slowly poked her head out, and when she saw that there was indeed no "danger", a trace of joy flashed on her face, and she walked to Qin Xu's side without seeing it, and said to Qin Xu with an arrogant look: "But for the sake of you not talking too much just now, just pay a thousand eight hundred gold." ”

"What? Eighteen hundred gold? Poor crazy, right? Qin Xu looked at this little girl in a daze, and there was a trace of strangeness on his face!
