Out of the woods, Yuan Xu led the team all the way to the southeast.

Because of their female dependents, they could not move at a faster pace.

A few days later, everyone came to Luancheng.

Before entering Luancheng, the procession passed under a high platform.

There are several houses built on the high platform, and the steps are paved with bluestone, and the bearing is very magnificent when you look at it.

Walking through the high platform, Ma Yi looked up.

"This place is called Chai Wutai, and the founding heroes of the Han Dynasty are buried!" Finding that Ma Yi was quite interested in Gaotai, Yuan Xu said: "Gaozu beheaded the White Snake and started an incident, and General Chai followed him. The battle of Qixia sat in the rear army and made immortal feats for the Han Dynasty. After his death, he was buried in Luancheng and built a platform as a tomb, and the ancestor was also infinitely gracious to him! ”

"Childe also knows what happened hundreds of years ago." Ma Yi praised.

"Those who do the world should know the affairs of the world." Yuan Xu said: "Even though hundreds of years have passed, every time I reminisce, it can also warn us. ”

Ma Yi couldn't help but nod.

"Mediocre officials are in government, even if officials rule Qingming places, they are not prosperous; In the mouth of the people, even if the country is prosperous, it will bring about its own destruction; Indecisive, even if the enemy is weak and we are strong, we will miss the opportunity. Yuan Xu said: "What the ancients did, now we are also doing it!" ”

"Those who do this should not have the wisdom of the son!" Ma Yi said: "Knowing the affairs of the world, how can a son make a mistake? ”

"How can you make a mistake?" Yuan Xu smiled slightly: "Since a certain army led the expedition, how many mistakes have been made?" Many mistakes were also made by the ancients! ”

"If you know your mistakes, why do you still make them?" Ma Yi was at a loss.

"There is no way to avoid it, it's just human nature!"

Yuan Xu came to Luancheng, and the local bureaucrats went out of the city to greet him.

Outside Luancheng. The prefectural magistrate waited early with a group of officials.

Seeing the officials waiting outside the city, Yuan Xu said to Ma Yi: "I'll wait for a few days. Everyone is tired, and today they will rest in Luancheng! ”

"Leave it up to Childe's decision!"

Closer and closer to the city gates. The county magistrate came up with several officials.

There were more than ten steps away from Yuan Xu, and he bowed down and said, "Luancheng is far away, knock on the fifth prince!" ”

Yuan Xu bowed his hand and returned the salute: "A certain person returned to Yecheng from Taihang, and there was Lao County to greet him here, and I am grateful!" ”

"The fifth prince is serious!" Gao Yuan stepped aside and said to Yuan Xu: "I learned that the son is coming, and I have sent someone to clean up the county government, so I hope you don't want to be vulgar!" ”

"The county respects the righteousness, how dare you be suspicious?"

Led by Gao Yuan and a group of officials. Yuan Xu and the others entered the city.

The Yuan family in Hebei Province was defeated in two battles in Guandu and Cangting, and now it is not as good as before.

The army went out to collect grain and grass from all over the country to recruit people, and many places were already exhausted.

Luancheng is certainly no exception.

Entering the city, Yuan Xu found that the doors of many shops were closed, and there were no hawkers on the roadside.

Even the pedestrians in the market are scarce.

"I have never been to Luancheng, but this was the case in the past?" He asked Takato.

With an embarrassed face, Gao Yuan said, "Don't hide it from your son." This was not the case in Luancheng in the past. In the two battles of Guandu and Cangting, there were many recruits for Ding Zhuang here, and most of the orphans and widows inside and outside the city were withered! ”

Two battles in Guandu and Cangting. Yuan Shao recruited soldiers and horses, and countless Hebei sons and daughters went into battle.

said goodbye to his parents, wife and children, thinking that he could make a contribution on the battlefield. It ended up being separated by yin and yang, and they would never see each other.

Without asking any more questions, Yuan Xu accompanied Gao Yuan and others to the county government.

Enter Fuchu. Gao Yuan sent Yuan Xu to the back house, not daring to say goodbye and leave too much.

Zhen Mi took care of Mrs. Zhang to stay. Yuan Xu summoned Ma Yi to the study.

"We are camped in the wilderness, and it is difficult for the assassins to attack the well-guarded ones." Yuan Xu said: "Entering the city, it seems safe to have county soldiers guarding it, but the assassin is more opportune!" You must be on guard to prevent someone from hurting Zhen Ji and Mrs. Zhang! ”

"All the people of the forest were slaughtered, though they did not know who was not the enemy." Ma Yi first responded, and then said: "It's just that this person hides his head and tail, which is unpredictable." ”

"All the way, I was thinking, how could I have recognized such a woman with such sharp swordsmanship!" Yuan Xu pinched his chin: "I thought about it, but there was no reason!" If you don't know who you are, don't be careless! ”

"How did Childe conclude that the man in the forest was killed by a woman?"

"The handwriting on the silk is beautiful, and it should not be from a man's hand. Although the wounds of the corpse were fatal, most of the penetrating places were re-forced, which shows that the manpower of the person who used the sword was insufficient and more than light. Looking at the footprints in the forest, there are only one person's footprints except for the deceased. The footprints are small, and most of the people with such small feet are women! Yuan Xu said: "The three are related, and it is expected that this person is definitely not a man!" ”

"Where it is small, Childe can see through it at a glance!" Ma Yi said: "So-and-so will inform everyone, beware of women!" ”

Not long after Yuan Xu entered the city, a woman arrived at the city gate.

Dressed in a plain white Luo skirt, she carried a long sword behind her back.

When the soldiers defending the city saw her, they winked at the officers.

The national color of the woman's birth is fragrant, and the snow-white skirt is swung with the wind, adding a bit of fairy charm.

After many years in the army, he rarely returns home, and the officer has long been a sow beating Diao Chan, how can beauty not have the idea of teasing in front of her?

With a wicked smile, the officer greeted him.

"Stop!" Stopping the woman, the officer walked around her a few times, looked up and down, and asked in a weird way, "Where did you come from?" Why did you enter the city? ”

"Come from the north, enter the city to find an old friend!" The woman replied indifferently.

"What is the surname of the deceased, and where does he live?"

"What does it have to do with you when I look for my old friend?" The woman didn't answer, but said lukewarmly.

"What a spicy woman!" The officer said, "You don't know, if you want to enter the city, you have to wait for our permission!" ”

Several soldiers saw the officer wrapping around the woman, and surrounded him with a hippie smile.

Glancing at them, the woman asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Why?" The officer smiled evilly and said, "It is my duty to check the people who come and go. If you want to enter the city, you have to wait for me to ask! ”

The woman did not respond, but a touch of impatience appeared on her face.

"What is the surname of the deceased, and where does he live?" The officer asked again.

"An Yuning, Taoliu Lane, Yongan Street."

"It's the old man of Anxian County!" The woman reported the name and surname of the deceased, and the officer was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't know that the young lady is looking for the county lieutenant, and it is strange that there are many collisions!" ”

didn't bother to look at them, and the woman entered Luancheng.

After entering the city, she asked a common person where Taoliu Lane was, and almost without a detour, she went straight to the county governor's residence.

The county governor's house is nothing more than a two-hall courtyard.

The main door is also a pure wood color.

Grabbing the knocker and knocking lightly, the door opened and a head poked out.

"Why did the young lady knock?"

"Dare to ask the county lieutenant of An?"

"Are you ......?" asked the person who opened the door, who didn't know the woman, and looked at her.

"If the county lieutenant is at home, please tell me that the grandson of the Guigu Sword Sect asks to see you!" (To be continued.) )
