The author said: Yesterday I suddenly found out that I had retired from the new book list, except for the two who swiped tickets, I was the third......

After receiving their respective tasks, they went to various places on errands.

Qiu Yizhi's review of cult classics is extremely secret, and no matter what level of government or yamen is borrowed to handle this matter, it is very easy for the news to leak out and cause extraneous branches, so according to Zhong Likuang's suggestion, it is better to transport the collection of books to Qiu Yizhi's mansion in Guangyang City and then calmly review them.

So Qiu Yizhi hired a coachman in Bozhou, packed all the books into more than a dozen carts, and then led Zhao Chengxiao and others to escort them, pretending to be a dart bureau to transport ordinary property, and went all the way to Guangyang City.

This Zhao Chengxiao has been ringing horses for a few years, and at first he was worried that there were more than a dozen big cars in this mighty way, which was too attention-grabbing, and the escort was only about 30 people, and he didn't go many miles before he was robbed by mountain thieves and water bandits.

Qiu Yizhi said unconcernedly: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, this Youyan Road is different from other places, you just follow the official road, if you really want to find a few robbers, it will not be easy." ”

Zhao Chengxiao thought that although he was known as "not robbing life-saving money, begging for mercy and not killing people, and not disturbing when he was busy farming" in the green forest in the past two or three years, he was honored by the brothers on the road as "three is not too old", known as the name of benevolence and righteousness, but he didn't know how many rich businessmen and horses he robbed. Therefore, seeing that Qiu Yizhi was so negligent, he couldn't help but secretly pinch a cold sweat for him.

This land of Youyan is a natural barrier for the Central Plains to resist the northern nomads, and the Taihang Mountains that stretch for 5,000 miles run through Youyan, and a well-built official road is like a jade belt in this lofty mountain range.

Zhao Chengxiao has long been familiar with "this mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to fight this, leave to buy road wealth", now in a different place, walking on this wide and flat official road, the more you walk, the more frightened, constantly reminding Qiu Yizhi:

"If there is an ambush of a group of bandits here, there are not many people, just a hundred, and we can kill a few of us left."

"If we drop a few boulders here, our team will be cut in two, and then we won't be able to take care of each other, but it will be troublesome."

"If the river is dug up here, the front and back of the official road will be flooded, and we will be trapped here. This is called 'catching a turtle in an urn', as the storyteller said. ”

Whenever Zhao Chengxiao mentioned it, Qiu Yizhi always smiled at him and said, "I didn't expect Brother Zhao to also know the art of war." It's just that this Youyan Dao is very peaceful, and Brother Zhao's knowledge, I'm afraid I won't need it here——"

Although Yi Zhi said this in his mouth, he understood in his heart: When Zheng Rong first came to Youyan Road, he gathered the strength of the whole Dao and used five years of work to split rocks in the mountains and build bridges in the water, I don't know how much sweat and life were spent, and finally built this official road, and made great efforts to exterminate a large number of bandits and horses. Since then, the merchants of the Central Plains can pass freely in Youyan Road, and the armies of all walks of life can also assemble by virtue of the rapid movement of the official road, which is the foundation of the people of Youyan Road to be rich and strong.

Zheng Rong was also afraid that this Youyan bloodline would be used by the northern Tartars, so under Zhong Likuang's suggestion, several key passes and canyons were set up in advance to cut off the main road. It's just that at that time, I'm afraid that the Youyan army has been completely wiped out, and between the ten months, it will reach Hangu Pass in the west, the sea in the east, and the Yangtze River in the south, and half of the Central Plains will be ravaged by iron hooves.

Zhao Chengxiao walked for a few days under the leadership of Qiu Yizhi, and sure enough, he didn't see the slightest bit of wind and grass, and he saw this road, but there were teahouses, inns, wine shops, and countless tea stalls and pavilions along the way. Although Zhao Chengxiao is honest, he is not stupid - knowing that if there is any unevenness on this road, the people who rely on the official road to make a living will already run clean, and it is too late to save his life, how can he still have the heart to do business-so he put his mind at ease.

It was early summer, and the weather was already very hot, and the group had not walked a few miles, and it was already quite hot. It just so happened that there was a melon farmer selling watermelons on the side of the road, and Qiu Yizhi couldn't stand the coaxing of everyone, so he bought more than a dozen watermelons that had been poured in cold water, took one and cut it halfway with a knife and cracked it open, revealing the bright red flesh, and called everyone to feast. I still felt that it was not enjoyable enough, so I simply bought dozens more and put them in the car to eat while walking. At this moment, God enjoyed a strong gust of wind, and a few white clouds blew over to block the scorching sun behind him. So the cool breeze on his body and the honey in his mouth overflowed, which was really unhappy!

After walking for a few days, I walked around a mountain range, and I saw a huge city spread over the vast land - this is Guangyang City, the capital of Youyan Road. In this city of Guangyang, the rich merchants dressed in silk, the Hu people leading the camels, and the soldiers with swords roamed around without a moment's rest; The martial arts, the clown who talks about cross talk, and the gentleman who commentates on books are always noisy and have never had a moment of peace.

This scene, Zhao Chengxiao is in a dream, and he has never dreamed of it, he is already stupid, but he regrets why he didn't let his wife and Mr. Zhao come with him, so as to open his eyes and see the world.

Qiu Yizhi became nervous at the moment, and whispered in Zhao Chengxiao's ear: "What we are escorting this time, Brother Zhao also knows, it is originally to prevent a gentleman and not a villain." There are many fish and dragons in this Guangyang City, and I hope that Brother Zhao will let the brothers pay more attention, and it is important not to fall short. ”

Zhao Chengxiao listened, nodded hurriedly, beckoned a few warriors he had brought down from the mountain, and said in a low voice: "I said brothers, they are about to enter the city now, everyone put their hearts in their throats, handle this errand with peace of mind, and it is not too late to take the reward and come to this Guangyang City to have some fun." If we mess things up, then even if we fall back into the grass, we won't have the face to mess around on the rivers and lakes, right? As he spoke, he paused, raised his voice slightly, and said, "I said brothers, everyone cheer up, hurry up!" ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly dispersed, each guarding a big cart, and there were two or three people in front of and behind the team, and the whole team was already ready to be loose on the outside and tightly on the inside, and they could enter the city when they waited for Qiu Yi's order.

Seeing this, Qiu Yizhi thought in his heart: "Zhao Heizi has not been a thief in vain in the past few years, and the marching people are quite disciplined, which is also rare." He led the team and walked slowly towards the inner city unhurriedly.

There are hundreds of households in Guangyang City who know Qiu Yizhi's righteous son His Royal Highness, and he has heard that he will return triumphantly when he goes south to Henan to quell the rebellion, and he feels a little strange when he enters the city with such a light clothes, and he wants to come forward to ask for peace but he doesn't dare, so he stands in place helplessly.

So Qiu Yizhi beckoned to the officer, took out his name card from his arms, and commanded softly: "General Feng Youyan Wang, you want to send these cars and things into the city, you take my name card and inform the city gate leader, this team of big cars will be exempted from inspection and released." This matter must be kept confidential and careful. ”

Although these hundred households are small, they are also serious, so they took the name and glanced at it, and said in a low voice: "Obey!" Then he walked briskly to the gate of the city. These 100 households are really reliable, and the city gate leader saw Qiu Yizhi leading a team of people in, respectfully returned the name post, and with a wave of his hand, he let these more than ten carts pass through the city gate smoothly.

This Guangyang City is different from other cities, it was originally expanded by military fortresses, and the inside of the city are all official barracks, far less lively than the outer city. Zhao Chengxiao entered the city gate as if he was in a different world, and followed Qiu Yizhi to the door of a mansion that was not luxurious.

The door of the mansion was closed, and Qiu Yi stepped forward and slapped the door a few times, but no one answered, but there was a "Wangwang" dog barking. When Yizhi heard this, he knew that it was the dog named "Lulu" who he hadn't seen for a long time, so he smiled and scolded the door: "What's your name, it's me." ”

The dog listened, and sure enough, he stopped barking.

After a long while, the gate slowly opened, and it was the lame old king who was watching the door in the Qiuyi Mansion. Before Lao Wang could speak, "Lulu" couldn't wait to pounce on his master. This dog was brought by Qiu Yizhi from Henan, and after five years of raising, the size is already very large, the whole body stands up, the front paws are hanging on Qiu Yizhi's chest, and the nose is constantly squirming to sniff the owner's scent. Qiu Yizhi also misses this partner who has depended on him since childhood, and his hands soothed it on its head, chest, and neck for a long time before "Lulu" calmed down, but it was still spinning around at the owner's feet.

Qiu Yizhi saw that Lao Wang was the only one who opened the door, so he asked, "Why are you alone?" Where did Ruishou go? Didn't I send someone to inform me that I would be back home in just two days? ”

This old Wang was originally an old pawn in the army, after a big battle, his right foot was cut off in half by a knife, according to the rules of the Youyan army, he could have been assigned to the military rations, military hospitals and other places to do some idle affairs. But this old king didn't know how to read, and when he was old, he was arranged to go to Qiuyi's mansion to watch the door, but he was very honest and reliable. I only heard him reply: "Ruishou, this kid, since the young master sent troops to release horses, he has been with the little girl who sells flowers on the street...... It's called Lancao'er. Now I don't know where to go. ”

This matter should be put on the eldest brother Zheng Xin's mansion, and Ruishou will inevitably be beaten, but Qiu Yizhi is a casual person, and he didn't care about it when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Ruishou to be this kid, other skills have not risen, and it is no wonder that he is ...... if he thinks about it carefully."

While he was talking, a person jumped up to Yizhi from nowhere, made a gesture, and said: "Young master, don't listen to Lao Wang dismantle the stage for me, I know that the young master is going back to the house, saying that he is going to bring a large group of guests over, and yesterday I went to the restaurant in the outer city to book a few tables." But the wine is not easy to buy, I only bought eighteen jars of good wine in the horse market today, no, the wine seller is delivered to the door. Qiu Yizhi looked in the direction of his finger and saw an ox cart full of wine.

Yizhi nodded, and asked Ruishou softly: "Let me ask you, has the county lord been to the mansion in the past few days?" ”

This Ruishou is a few years ago Qiu Yizhi picked up from the street hungry, a question is actually a fellow villager in Henan, just stay in the house to do some chores, because with Qiu Yizhi for a long time, but also quite learned a little clever, listening to him ask, eyebrows raised a smile, replied: "The county lord also came the day before yesterday, said that he came to feed" Lulu ", in fact, I think I came to find the young master." ”

"Well, good. There are people here, so don't hang around here. Now immediately go to the county lord, say that I am in for a treat, and invite the county lord and Yelu to my house for dinner. Seeing Rui Shou, Yi Zhi nodded, and urged, "You go now, run!" ”

Yiran lived with the royal family in the Youyan Palace, and it was inconvenient for Ruishou to enter the door, so even if the words were passed on to the prince's house, he went to call Yelu again.

Yelu was ordered by the Bohai Dali Khan to assist Yiran in restraining the Bohai merchants, so he bought a house not far from Mashi to live in.

When Ruishou ran to Yelu's residence, he happened to see that Yiran was also there talking to a few Hu people, so he told Qiu Yizhi to the two of them.

Yiran was very happy to hear that Yi Zhi was invited, and said to Ruishou: "You young master is such a stingy person, you can actually treat you?" I know, after talking to a few of them, I'm going to eat him. After that, he grabbed a handful of loose silver on the table and rewarded Ruishou.

Ruishou saw that the house was full of Hu people, and it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he thanked the reward and hurriedly went out to resume his life.
