From Zhang Jin's letter, Zhang Xin learned that Su You had only left the Eastern Capital for three days, and from Song Hao's report, Su You had already arrived in Jixian County last night.

Whose intelligence is skewed?

Speaking of which, this is not contradictory at all, maybe Song Hao's news is closer to the truth, the reason why Zhang Jin only learned about Su You's southward trip three days ago was because Yang Guang worked the secrecy work, maybe what he wanted was that Su You checked himself off guard.

After thinking clearly about the cause and effect, Zhang Xin's heart slowly calmed down.

After Zhang Mo looked at his father frowning and was speechless for a long time, he couldn't help but volunteer, "Father, let Hai'er do it." ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Xin categorically refused, he glared at his son fiercely, "This kind of officialdom struggle will be doomed if you are not careful, you must not participate, you should return to the Eastern Capital immediately!" ”

"But my father ......"

"No, but!" Zhang Xin was furious, even he realized that the struggle with Su You was an extremely dangerous thing, and his son actually wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying, he simply didn't want to live.

Zhang Mo said persistently, "Father, the first strike is strong, and the second attack will suffer." ”

"You go now, let me go now!"

Zhang Mo hated his teeth and gurgled with hatred, but he didn't dare to contradict his father too much, so he had to hug his fists, "Okay, I'll just go." ”

Zhang Mo turned around and walked out, only to hear his roar from a distance, "Go!" We are in the East! ”

Zhang Xin's brows furrowed, he still knew something about this son, how could he leave so easily?

Thinking of this, Zhang Xin immediately called a confidant who had been with him for more than 30 years and ordered, "Zhang Guoli, you give you and me a good look at this rabbit cub, and I will escort him back to the Eastern Capital." ”

"But you" Zhang Guoli nodded to receive the order, but he was a little worried about Zhang Xin, although the current Pengcheng is as calm as ever, but the mountains and rains are about to come in the mainland, Zhang Guoli has been with Zhang Xin for decades, how can he not see it?

Zhang Xin shook his head and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to fight that kid?" I crossed more bridges than he walked, and I ate more salt than he ate."

Although Zhang Guoli knew that he was a little heavy-mouthed, it was not easy to point it out at this time, so he had to hug his fists and say "cherish", and then turned around and chased Zhang Mo away.

Pengseong-gun Yunlaiguan, this is the official post house of Pengseong-gun, which is generally only used by important officials.

Yunlai Pavilion covers an area of five acres and consists of five courtyards, each with more than a dozen rooms, as well as special librarians waiting for officials; But this five-acre post official only has one official living at this time, and that is Su You, who is not allowed to rest when the New Year comes.

Su You originally wanted to stay at the inn, but after lunch, Zhang Xin came to visit Su You, and for the sake of his sincerity in compensating Lu Zhongsu for more than 20 cargo ships, Su You had to move to this Yunlai Pavilion.

Of course, because there are many rooms here, the hundred or so people who followed Su You also moved in.

After Su You arrived at the post house, before he had time to wash away the dust, he began to have guests visiting, these guests were of course officials of all sizes in Pengcheng County, and their county guard Zhang Xin met with Su You at noon, so they were not offside at this time.

Su You didn't sleep well last night, and he wanted to rest immediately after arriving at the post house, but there are many friends and many roads in the officialdom, at least he can't offend people casually. He had no choice but to brace himself and take the trouble to receive every visitor, listen to their uniform compliments, and then make sure that everyone came with a smile on their faces and left happily with a moderate compliment.

After receiving two or three people, Su You was completely sleepy, and then it was time for dinner.

After a simple dinner, Su You thought that he would stop a little, but the guests still came one after another, which made Yanbei a little unbearable, Su You couldn't, so he had to ask someone to bring a message to the officials who managed the post house, "Closed the door of the post house earlier." ”

After sending off the last guest, Su You couldn't help yawning, he had just come to Yanbei for a cold, and he was already waiting for Su You in bed.

Su You was forced by the environment and the weather, just thinking about washing his feet and falling asleep, but the little girl in the post house didn't seem to know the warmth and cold, so she came in with a plate of water that could scald off the pig's hair.

As soon as Su You put his foot in, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and whispered, "I'll wipe it!" ”

The little girl listened to Su You's exclamation, and she was still sleepy-eyed just now, and immediately shook, and hurriedly asked, "Did you add too much cold water?" I'll get you some more hot water. ”

Su You wanted to reprimand her for not being a "teaser sent by Guanyin", but seeing that she didn't seem to wake up, he thought he was unlucky, and sighed and said, "It's okay, you can go down." ”

"By the way, I remember that there is a home remedy, if you soak your feet in vinegar, you can prevent wind and cold, or I will bring some vinegar to Yushi." The little girl still didn't have Su You's impatient awareness, and said naggingly.

Su You waved his hand and said "no" repeatedly, but the girl thought that Su You was polite to her, and after turning around and running out, she didn't even close the door and went to find vinegar by herself.

Su You was slandering this little girl in her heart, but she quickly ran back with an extra jar in her hand.

"Just let it go, I'll just put it myself later, thank you." Su You couldn't stand the fact that others were treating him well, so he hurriedly nodded and thanked him.

The little girl originally wanted to take the vinegar and leave, but after listening to Su You's thanks, she couldn't help but squat down, and then poured vinegar into the basin.

Su You couldn't, so he had to rely on her and test the water temperature a few times, and then soaked his feet in. Su You soaked his feet and shouted a few words "Yanbei" After not hearing a response, he had to pick up a book and read it.

It wasn't until the water in the basin was cold that Su You dried his feet with a towel, and then opened the door with the basin.

Su You originally wanted to splash the water in his hand into the patio, but after looking at the somewhat gloomy queen, he thought that if the water was splashed out, he was afraid that it would freeze, so he took a few more steps and splashed it on the holly tree next to the road.

How could Su You have thought that behind the holly bushes, there was a ghostly man in black lying quietly at this time; The quality of the man in black was extremely high. Even if he was doused with foot-washing water, he didn't move.

After Su You walked into the room and closed the door, the black-clothed man moved silently, flashing from the flowers to the base of the wall.

Who knows that it doesn't matter if the soaked body doesn't move, it will be cold to the bones when it moves, and he can't help but secretly say: "Drink the foot washing water before you get out of the school, Su You, Su You, you don't die unjustly." ”

"Yawn!" Su You didn't know that someone was talking about him, but after he sneezed, he couldn't help but slander the little girl just now, "Didn't you say that adding vinegar to the foot wash can prevent colds?" And how to say that! No, why do I feel like my feet are full of vinegar? ”

Perhaps it was the subconscious that was doing tricks, and after Su You felt that his feet were full of vinegar, he had to go back to the stove and pour out half a basin of water.

After reading for a while, Su You wiped his feet and went out to pour water with a basin; After walking out of the door, Su You suddenly felt that there seemed to be a smell of vinegar coming from the root of the wall not far from him.

Is it a delusion?

Su You didn't make a sound, so he poured half a basin of water in his hand into the corner of the wall with a "bang", how could the man in black hiding in the corner of the wall think that Su You's blind cat would run into a dead mouse?

There are no two identical leaves in the world, and it is impossible for a person to cross the same river twice, but the man in black drank Su You's footwashing water twice in one night, and while he was angry, he also drew his sword and stabbed Su You viciously.

But he didn't think that after Su You's first basin of water splashed on him, the water that flowed from his body to the ground had turned into ice, and as soon as he moved, he lost his center of gravity, and then staggered and rushed towards Su You's back.

At a distance of half a zhang, Su You felt the danger coming from behind him, so he turned around and used the basin to protect the vital parts of his chest, and shouted, "Who! ”

The first attack of the man in black was somewhat out of standard due to the stumbling under his feet and the wind chill he had suffered for a long time, and Su You used a wooden basin as a shield to block this attack in a hurry.

But with the first time, there was obviously a second time, and the man in black drew his long sword and slashed it at Su You's head, Su You dodged his second attack awkwardly, and at the same time picked up the wooden basin and smashed it at the head of the man in black.

After the man in black dodged Su You's attack, he stumbled again, and when he wanted to attack Su You again, he felt numb, and then there was a sound of weapon handover and a female voice, "There are assassins!" ”

"Yanbei is here." After Su You heard the voice of Yanbei, he immediately smashed the wooden basin at the man in black; The man in black didn't expect that Su You could not only use the wooden basin as a shield but also as a weapon, but he also couldn't imagine that he could also be a secret weapon.

Such a big secret weapon is really difficult to dodge, and the shoulder of the man in black was immediately hit, and it was already even more difficult for him to kill Su You at this time, even if he fought hard, he probably couldn't do it, so he hid shamefully

The man in black endured his somewhat sore shoulders and quickly retreated to the wall, while Wang Bodang Zhai Rang rushed out of the room with shouts.

"He can't run!" Wang Bodang looked at the courtyard wall, which was more than two feet high, and sneered and tightened the bowstring.

But the man in black was obviously prepared, and when he was still a foot away from the courtyard wall, he immediately crouched down, and heard a click, followed by a crackling of strings, and then he flew up like a big bird, and saw that he was already outside the wall.

"Boom"!

Wang Bodang let go of the bowstring, and a sharp arrow headed for the back of the man in black.

Su You couldn't see clearly whether Wang Bodang had shot the man in black, but when he thought about being attacked just now, he found that his back was soaked with sweat at some point.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable?

"Chase me and light the torch." Su You let out a loud shout and led the way out.

"Sir, it's dangerous out there." Zhai Rang immediately stopped Su You and suggested with concern that it was only half a day's work, and he also called Su You Mr. like Wang Bodang and others, instead of saying "Mr. Su".

"With so many people here, what are you afraid of?" Su You asked rhetorically.

"It's me who is slacking off, please punish me." Lu Zhongsu seemed to hear another meaning from Su You's words, and hurriedly took responsibility.

Su You shook his head and said, "What am I punishing you for?" I mean he's like a lost dog, and you're still wasting time here."

Su You's voice fell, Lu Sheng had already turned back, and it turned out that he was the first to rush out when Su You just finished chasing.

Lu Sheng reported in a low voice, "He should have been hit by Brother Wang's arrow, and there was blood he shed on the ground." ”
