The post station at the foot of the mountain is overcrowded.

When the Great Zhou Empire had not collapsed, the post station system in various places was very developed and perfect. And with the chaos in the world, the transportation system in various parts of the imperial court was destroyed.

Today, however, the princes of each region have formed a balanced situation, and the post station system of each country has been re-established.

This post station was built on the main road leading from Nanqi County to the hinterland of Yizhou, and was called Liang'aozi. Nanqi County is vast and sparsely populated, and this post station was built on the plains below the mountain, and there was no place to rest nearby, so most of the people who came and went lived here.

For business reasons, it is bustling all year round. Not only the officials of Shu who came and went, but also a large number of merchants and casual cultivators who wanted to try their luck also lived here.

With the increase in the flow of people, the post station continued to expand, and today, it is more of a small walled city than a post station. The post house is equipped with all kinds of facilities, and a small wall has been built outside.

A dozen rode through the plains at the bottom of the mountain, and soon approached the post station. The post clan guarding the gate opened the gate, and the post officer led by the post man showed a smile on his face when he saw that these people were dark-skinned and burly, guessing that they were sergeants from the southwest county.

"Do adults have household cards and school books?"

Li Fu was stunned, although he had experienced hardships over the years and his personality had matured a lot, he obviously didn't expect that the post keeper guarding the door would be able to see through his identity at a glance.

The household card is a certificate that records the identity of the people in Shu, which is equivalent to a household registration certificate. The school book is an identity record that only a sergeant has.

"I'm on a business trip, please open two rooms for me."

According to the standards of the Shu State Post Station, a large shop can live ten people, and it is a place where ordinary sergeants and low-ranking subordinates live. Officers above the rank of lieutenant can live in separate rooms.

Li Fu took out the household card and school book he was carrying, and the post official looked at the household card, and his smiling face, which was originally flattering, immediately changed.

The postman could see clearly that the sign was engraved with a plum blossom sign. And only exiled criminals would have this sign engraved on their household plates.

The post officer has been in this post station for a long time, and he has seen all kinds of people coming and going, and he quickly guessed the identity of the officer in front of him, and his face turned cold.

"There have been too many people coming and going recently, and there is still a chase shop left in the post station, so why don't you crowd it!"

"There are sixteen of us, how can we live in a Chase shop?"

The sergeant after Li Fu was very dissatisfied and shouted.

"There's no way around the small ones."

In the face of the stationkeeper's cold words, the sergeants behind Li Fu were all angry. Li Fu is different, since he was sentenced to exile, he has long been accustomed to cold words over the years.

"Squeeze and squeeze! Take care of our horses, feed us more fodder, and we must hurry to String City as soon as possible. ”

"String City?" As if remembering something, the postman asked, "Could it be that your lord was ordered by the Prime Minister's Mansion to go to Xiancheng to meet the Prime Minister's officer of the Southwest County?" ”

"How do you know?"

Li Fu was really a little curious, but when he saw that the post officer's ice-like face instantly melted.

"There are dozens of officers from the Southwest County heading to String City these days, and the last lord set off two days ago. The little one just remembered that there seem to be two vacant rooms in the post station, please come with me my lord and all the military masters! ”

The post man was full of smiling faces, and ordered the post man behind him to take the horses of the soldiers to the stable, and he led Li Fu alone to the single room.

"To be able to be received by the prime minister, the adults will definitely be able to make great achievements in the future, and the little ones are here to congratulate them first."

In the aisle, Li Fu handed a piece of silver to the post officer, and closed the door in the other party's careful flattery.

The single rooms in this inn are not large, but they are well equipped. Compared with the Chase shop, it is much cleaner and tidier, and there are some flower petals scattered on the bed for deodorization.

The rooms in the two posts are divided into two types, one is specially for Shu officials, military officers and subordinates with official duties. All the usage of this type of person is free. The other is for merchants and travelers to live in, which requires a fee.

The room is nicely furnished, and it is clear that a lot of thought has been put into it.

Li Fu smiled, thinking of the capriciousness of the post officer, and couldn't help but shake his head.

At the beginning of the first battle of Southern Zhou, Yang Xian annihilated the 200,000 Liang army, shocking the world. Now in Shu, Prime Minister Yang Xian's prestige has reached an unprecedented height. As long as it is related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is the snarky post officer, and he doesn't think he will be careful.

Li Fu touched the box he was carrying, and secretly said that it was better to rest early!

Li Fu put the box on the side of the bed and lay down. The soft touch of the bed transmitted to his back, and Li Fu couldn't help but recall a lot.

Xiancheng is the time of spring cold at this time, but Nanqi County has a long summer without winter, and the climate is humid and hot, although the temperature is not as good as that of Southwest County, but it still makes Li Fu's body feel a little familiar.

Li Fu grew up in Xiancheng since he was a child, but the experience of Southwest County in the past few years has made his body accustomed to the hot climate of Southwest County.

It rained in the middle of the night, and the sound of the rain wet the eaves and made a crackling sound, drowning out the sound outside the inn.

In a trance, Li Fu suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

This is a warning sign, the vigilance that has been cultivated after years of fighting with the wind and waves and fighting the cunning sea clan.

Li Fu suddenly turned over and held the box containing the algae jade tightly.

The room was dim, but the cold light of the dagger made Li Fu's heart swell. He remembered Jiao An's advice when he came, there might be risks along the way.

And the risk is already here!

Li Fu felt a little strange in his heart, this algae jade was something that was going to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. In Shu, there are still people who dare to fight its idea?

How did the other party know and lay an ambush here?

Li Fu had a lot of doubts in his heart, but his instinctive reaction was much faster than he thought in his heart.

Li Fu, as a school captain and an exiled criminal, has endured a lot of hardships over the years, and has also developed a body of ability. What he learned came from the first vein of the army, and mixed with the water system exercises of the star vein and the heavenly way.

However, he saw that Li Fu's bloody killing aura was condensed like a substance, and the killing intent was great, with five fingers and a grip, the window was opened, and the water column was attracted to surround his body, forcing the assassin back.

"Who are you? It's so daring! ”

The assassin did not reply, but saw a cold light flash on the dagger, mottled lines around his body, and words loomed. With a flick of the dagger in his hand, he easily cut off the jet of water that was coming at him, like cutting a piece of tofu.

"This is the true spirit of the vein!"

Li Fu was a little surprised, this assassin's cultivation was not low, and his goal was clear. With Li Fu's cultivation, he can't please him.

But the assassin did not stop, as if sensing the danger, and immediately ran out of the window. Li Fu chased to the window, but saw the assassin's faint figure in the night.

Then, a dozen soldiers surrounded him with torches and took the Assassin down.

"Tsing Yi?"

Li Fu looked at the leader of these people, a man in a green robe and a gray robe, and muttered.
