At the beginning of October, the Taishou Mansion officially replied to Yelang, and Zhang Fang, the envoy of the festival and the Marquis of Fuping, went to celebrate the succession of the new king of Yelang on behalf of the Son of Heaven. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as this decree came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire southwest shook. O great Han liehou! The messenger who followed the festival on behalf of the Son of Heaven actually came to congratulate him in person, which was really big enough. The news spread all over the villages, and the people in the southwest were boiling, and the twenty-two towns that were about to move gradually subsided.

Zhang Fang has not yet set off, just releasing goodwill, which has changed the entire southwest stalemate.

Behind the side of the Taishou Mansion, in a low and dark grass house, two people squatted on tattered straw mats, drinking inferior millet wine, and from time to time they looked at the Taishou Mansion. Although the grass is dim and the faces of the two people cannot be seen clearly, judging from the dress and appearance of the two, it is the masked man and the Yi person who have bad intentions that day.

hid in the grass liao, so naturally there was no need to cover his face, but because the light was too dim and his face was blurred, he could barely see that it was a young man.

At this time, the thin man was leaning his neck and drinking all the bad wine in the rough pottery bowl, let out a satisfied sigh, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's okay now, the envoy celebrates in person, this amount is much larger than our envoy." It would be interesting to see how frightened he would be if the time came to tie this marquis to a stake and shoot him with the sound of an arrow. Hahaha......"

The young man said lightly: "Just think about it." ”

Yiren snorted: "I also know it's impossible." Isn't this the last time I carved the wooden statue of the messenger called Zhang Kuang, and it was too enjoyable to shoot. ”

The young man's voice grew colder: "Don't underestimate him, although he is much younger than Zhang Kuang, his means are more daring." If you want to scare him, you have to be prepared to be picked up by him. ”

Yiren was obviously very unhappy, and sneered: "It's just a good fate, born in a powerful family." How much better do you think his thin skin and tender meat are than this bowl? Yiren said, the five fingers that buckled the bowl were violently closed, snap! Shengsheng pinched the pottery bowl to pieces.

This is really scary.

The young man had already seen this person's ability, and he turned a blind eye, just frowning and muttering to himself: "It doesn't make sense, whether it's his personality or his current identity, he won't be in danger easily." What is the mystery of this decree? ”

Yiren glared at him: "Gongzang, you seem to know this Fuping Marquis very well...... By the way, you used to be from Guanzhong, so you don't know this one. Yi Ren said as he spread his five fingers, and between the flexion and extension of his fingers like eagle claws, there was a ruthlessness that was enough to tear everything apart.

The young man named Gongzang was not afraid, and said coldly: "It's true that I'm from Guanzhong, and I also know this Fuping Marquis—these 'Yelang' all know, otherwise why do you think he sent me to partner with you to spy on this envoy?" ”

Yiren was stunned, thought for a while, slowly withdrew the strength in his hand, and said: "So that's the case." I said, why did Yelang send a Han man to do this errand with me? ”

Gongzang's voice was still cold: "Nongxi, you better not forget that I am the main person in charge of this operation, and all actions must be according to my instructions, otherwise something will go wrong, and you yourself will ask Yelang for sin." ”

Although Yiren Nongxi was dissatisfied with this alien in his heart, he was suppressed by the other party with a big hat, and he couldn't have a seizure.

Gong Zang took a bowl in his hand: "Also, don't show your claws casually in the future......"

Nongsy goldfish's eyes widened, and its claws lifted. Gongzang's hand also stretched out to his waist - seeing that the two were about to fight among themselves, suddenly they both withdrew their hands at the same time, and their eyes were cast to the outside of the liao.

The side door of the Taishou Mansion creaked open, and a box cart drove out. There is a shortage of horses in the southwest, and oxen are used to pull carts, even temple officials are no exception. The only people who can afford to use the carriage are Taishou, Duwei, and Changshi. Although there are no special markings for this carriage, this kind of enclosed van bullock cart that is close to a chariot is still very eye-catching in the Han Dynasty, when domed unsheltered chariots were commonly used.

There was only one driver for the ox cart, and there was only one servant wearing a round bamboo hat beside the cart, so it was so simple that it went west.

Nongxi looked back at Yuzo: "Do you want to follow?" ”

"That driver is the close attendant of the Marquis of Fuping, called Han Chong." Gong Zang put on the bamboo hat, covered his face with a scarf, and said categorically, "Follow!" ”

The ox cart walked slowly along the jagged bluestone pavement, making a creaking sound, walking through the long street, walking through the west of the city, and then turning to the south of the city, seemingly aimlessly.

Yuzo and Nongxi were close at first, but then they got farther and farther away. Because Nongxi warned Yuzo: "That servant of the chariot is not simple, he is a master, don't get too close." ”

When the ox cart turned around from the south of the city, and the frame was back to Taishou Mansion, Nongxi suddenly sighed: "No, the rut is not right." ”

Most places in Lan County are paved with bluestone slabs, only a few sections are dirt roads, and there is little rain in recent times, the wheels are pressed, and the rut marks are not obvious. With the eyes of the bow, he couldn't see anything, but Nongxi was obviously a good tracker and quickly noticed that something was wrong.

"You keep following the ox cart, and I'll turn around and look at the ruts."

Nongxi's tone is imperative, but this will be the words of the capable, and Yuzo is also good. Soon, one of the two continued to follow the ox cart, and the other turned around and acted separately.

A moment later, the two met again in the south of the city.

"The ox cart is driving back to the Taishou Mansion." This is Yuzo's report.

"When the rut passes through the junction of the west and south of the city, the rut marks become shallow, and the people on the car get off halfway." Nongxi's eyes were wide, and he stretched out his arm to point to a row of wooden squatters in front of him, "It's in this place." ”

Just as the two of them were talking, fifty steps away in a straight line, in front of the stilted building in a small courtyard, the owner of Yi, who had restored women's clothes, was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance, smiling skillfully.

Why is Yi Zhu here?

Well, it should be said, why shouldn't the Lord be here?

Yizhu's identity is sensitive, and he went all the way south, and when he had no choice, he could only let her pretend to be a scholar and go in the same car. And after arriving in Helan, there are many people, Zhang Fang's every move is difficult to avoid people, if you still put Yizhu by your side, you will be recognized as a woman. Envoy Yelang, and a girl...... At that time, it will not be doubtful.

Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to leave Zhang Fang, leave the Taishou Mansion, and find an unnoticeable civilian residence to live temporarily until Zhang Fang completes the mission.

"Lord Yi, let's see if this bed is properly made?" A young girl's head poked out. This is the female servant arranged by Zhang Fang for Yizhu, who has just arrived from Chang'an.

"Okay, here we go...... By the way, the master said don't call me Yizhu. ”

"What's that called?"

"The host hasn't thought about it yet......"

At the same time as the graceful figure of the lord disappeared into the house, two heads poked out of the low wall of the front yard.

Yuzo and Nongsi.

Two pairs of eyes, revealing the ferocity of a hungry wolf discovering its prey.
