"It's time to hide." The old boatman did not have any doubts about the reason Xiao Ciyu found, because he instinctively thought that in the face of those pompous officials, he should stay away.

Yes, after only a brief recollection, he said bluntly: "That old man's surname is Han, he is a young man in his twenties, and the two guest officers can remember it." ”

After saying this, the old boatman rowed a bamboo pole and rowed far away with the boat.

And Xiao Ciyu and Shen Lanxi, after listening to his simple description, were stunned and looked at each other.

Last name Han? In your twenties?

At this moment, they all thought of a person. If it was him, all the strange things before would have been explained.

It's just that, based on the boatman's brief description, they can't confirm their conjecture.

The two were silent for a moment, and in the end, it was Xiao Ciyu who took the lead in speaking: "It's okay, since the other party has such a character, we will definitely know more details after we enter the city." When the time comes, are you afraid that you won't be able to judge? ”

"Yes, too...", with a slight bow, Shen Lanxi also put down the matter for the time being.

However, because of such a thing in their hearts, the two of them were not in the mood to travel again.

After going ashore, he rented a carriage at the ferry and hurried to the city.

…

Jiangcheng is the largest city in Jiangzhou, and it is also the largest city in the entire Jiangnan area.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the atmosphere of prosperity and hustle and bustle will come to your face.

Noisy voices, loud shouts, and all kinds of people coming and going, it is easy to achieve a beautiful scene.

"I'm in trouble." Xiao Ciyu gave the coachman a piece of broken silver, and asked him by the way, "I don't know, how to get to Wuhua Lane?" ”

"Dock Birch Lane! There..."The coachman secretly looked at Xiao Ciyu again, and said cautiously, "Childe, don't go there, it's been very strict recently, and the people who are traveling back and forth are the most powerful patrol teams in our Jiangcheng!"

"If you are accidentally targeted by them, caught and tortured, then..."

"Hmm..." Xiao Ciyu was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's okay, let's just go around there and have a look, if we really encounter the patrol guards, we will stay away."

"I believe that the other party will not be too embarrassed to see us."

"It's... All right. Seeing that they insisted on going, the coachman did not insist any longer, and after two gestures to the side, he told them the general route.

With a coachman to guide the way, the two of them easily found the mansion that Jiangzhou officials had prepared in Wuhua Lane.

Sure enough, as the coachman said, Wuhua Lane was guarded by patrol guards from the mouth of the alley. Look at that posture, let alone getting in, it is estimated that even looking at it twice is a dangerous thing.

"It's pretty strict." Xiao Ciyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and raised his foot to go that way.

But before he could move, Shen Lanxi took the lead in grabbing his sleeve: "Wait! Look at the man..."

"Huh?" Xiao Ciyu rolled his eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Shen Lanxi.

Not far from Wuhua Lane, several people in official uniforms were gathering to chat. Probably because the pomp and circumstance on their side was not as good as that of Wuhua Lane, Xiao Ciyu didn't notice them at first.

But as Shen Lanxi reminded him, Xiao Ciyu could easily see that one of the three or five officials gathered together happened to be a young man in his twenties.

"You say... Could it be him? Shen Lanxi narrowed his eyes, trying to see the man's face clearly.
