The drizzle stopped at dawn.

Early in the morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Xue Ne's family packed their bags and embarked on the journey north.

Xue Ne went to Youzhou and supervised the military of the six states, which can be described as a doubling of power compared to Zhang Renqing. However, the pressure on his shoulders will be much greater than that of Zhang Rengan, because at the end of last year, Zuo Rong officially announced the establishment of Zhenguo and completely broke with the imperial court. If Xue Ne can't make achievements in a short period of time, he will inevitably be reprimanded by the empress.

And Zhang Rengan will be transferred to Bingzhou and serve as the governor of Bingzhou.

In terms of grade, although both of them are governors, in fact, Zhang Rengan's rank has been promoted.

And the state belongs to the metropolitan governor's mansion, and Youzhou is just the central governor's mansion.

It is difficult to say who took advantage of these two appointments, and Zhang Rengan, as the governor of the prefecture, will face the threat of the Eastern Turks; Xue Ne, as the governor of Youzhou, faced the chaotic situation of the entire Northeast region after the Battle of Hebei.

Whether it is Xue Ne or Zhang Renqing, the difficulties faced will not be too small.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

After Yang Shouwen sent away Xue Ne's family, it also became a lot easier.

Two days later, the Hutuo River ferry resumed traffic, and Yang Shouwen and the others left the inn and embarked on the journey south again.

After crossing the Hutuo River, the situation seems to be gradually improving.

The Turks failed to break through Zhaozhou, so the damage to Zhaozhou was relatively small. Therefore, Zhaozhou recovered quickly, and after a winter of recuperation, spring blossomed. There is a rebirth. It looks vibrant.

"Jing Assassin Shi is indeed a good official. After taking office, he ordered the city to be rebuilt and ditches to be dug.

However, all the works are not counted as forced labor. As long as they went to work, they could get food, and many people were rescued because of this. ”

Sitting in the wine shop on the side of the road, Yang Shouwen listened to the traveler's talk and couldn't help but be interested in this history of honoring assassins.

Cash-for-work?

I don't know if this is the world's first cash-for-work scheme! This assassin could have come up with such an idea. It made Yang Shouwen feel admired. So, he inquired with the guys, and only then did he learn about the past of this Jing Assassin History.

Jing Thorn History, named Jing Hui, the word Zhongye, Jiangzhou Taiping.

This person entered the Ming Jing and was involved in the history of Weizhou's assassination.

Last year, the Turks entered the northern province of the Kou River, and the autumn harvest was in full swing. However, in order to defend against the Turks, the states ordered the people to be requisitioned to build cities. Only Weizhou did not do this. According to Jinghui's statement: No matter how strong the city is, it can't be defended without food. How can the autumn harvest be delayed in order to repair the city?

That's exactly what happened. When the Turks withdrew, there were food shortages of varying degrees in various places.

Only Weizhou, but because of the preservation of autumn grain, not only did none of the people in this state starve to death, but also gave assistance to other state capitals.

After Gao Rui was promoted to the position of the country's chief priest, he recommended Jinghui to Wu Zetian.

After Jinghui arrived in Zhaozhou, it only took one winter to pacify Zhaozhou, and there was not even a situation where bandits were rampant.

Jiangzhou Taiping people?

Yang Shouwen suddenly looked at Ab Sijida and said, "Big brother, if I'm not mistaken, Jinghu seems to be a Taiping person." ”

Absjida was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

"You say, what is the relationship between Jinghu and Jinghui?"

Absjida grinned when he heard this, and gestured and said, "It can't be brothers, that's too coincidental."

yes, what a coincidence!

Yang Shouwen just thought about it casually, but he didn't actually take it to heart.

"It's not early, let's hurry up, if we delay the hour, we will have to sleep in the wilderness tonight."

Gilda smiled and nodded, and the two of them settled immediately, then walked out of the wine shop, got on the horse and left.

At dusk, the two arrived outside the city of Pingjiao.

Yang Shouwen accepted the big jade and led the horse to the city.

The interrogation outside Pingjian City was very strict, and after the two were handed over, they were interrogated twice. This was not common in previous levels. However, Yang Shouwen can be understood, as the saying goes, once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years. Although the Turks have retreated, they still have left a certain degree of trauma for Pingthorn.

"What are you guys?"

After the two of them had inspected the station, they led their horses and walked to the city.

But at this moment, there was a commotion behind him.

Yang Shouwen looked back and saw that the people guarding the city had stopped a team of carriages and horses.

They found many knives and guns from the carriage and horses, and immediately became vigilant. Everyone was tense and nervous.

The leader of the carriage and horse team hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are puppets." ”

"Puppet?"

The team leader was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand to signal Minzhuang to put away his knife and gun.

At this moment, a man in the prime of life came from the side.

He was dressed in a green robe and a black coat with a fire fox fur collar, and came to the side of the carriage.

As soon as the team leader saw someone, he immediately stepped aside, showing a respectful look.

"Listening to your accent, it seems to be someone from Minzhou?"

"Ah, sir is so knowledgeable, we are the tricksters from Minzhou."

The blue-robed man nodded, picked up a knife, and said in a deep voice: "This knife doesn't seem to be a weapon created by the Central Plains." ”

The leader hurriedly said: "Sir, good eyesight, this is the Uzi steel knife." ”

The Uzi steel knife, which is also known as the Damascus knife in the later world, also made Yang Shouwen look twice.

It was a scimitar, not too long, only about two feet, and it should be used with you. However, the shape of the knife is very peculiar, which makes Yang Shouwen have an indescribable feeling. He was about to take a closer look, but the man in the green robe had already sheathed his knife.

He returned the knife to the leader and glanced at the convoy a few more times.

There are men and women, old and young.

"Since you are from Minzhou, why do you have this kind of knife? As I recall, this kind of knife seems to be more common outside the plug. ”

"Sir, trickster, the four seas are home, where there is excitement, go there.

Speaking of which, we are also unlucky this time! Last year, we heard that the King of Huaiyang went to Heisha City to make peace, thinking that it would be more lively, so we went north together to ask for a living. How do you know that when I arrived in Yunzhou, I heard that the dead fangs rebelled, causing us to be trapped in Yunzhou for half a year. It wasn't until the end of last year that Yunzhou was cleared and released, but we were already penniless.

Playing tricks to make a living along the way, I was able to come to Zhaozhou.

On the road, we heard that Luoyang is going to open a martial arts department this autumn, and it must be very lively, so we tried our luck.

But Mr. also knows that the road is not smooth.

We tricksters also had to guard against bandits, so we brought some weapons...... We have a pass office issued by Yunzhou here, please check it out. Sir, we are all our own people, not bad people, please sir to prove it for us. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the passer.

This leader is worthy of going south and north, and he can see that the identity of the man in the green robe in front of him is not ordinary.

"Honest?"

"It's the villain."

The man in the green robe handed the place to the team leader, and said in a deep voice: "Check it to see if the number can match." (To be continued......)
