It is said that after Cui Yuzhu and his entourage left the capital, they walked along the official road for a day, and finally stepped into the boundary of Nanyang.

Nanyang is the old name of the three cities of Yezhou, Jinzhou and Bianzhou, and it is a place where businessmen gather, and the prosperous place is no less than the capital.

The main road in Nanyang is paved with blue bricks, built extremely spacious, Cui Yuzhu staggered all the way from the official road to dizzy, and after entering the Jinzhou City in Nanyang, he obviously felt the difference, all the way was smooth and smooth, and even the air felt fresher.

"Girl, you see that this Golden State is really rich, and even the roads are flat and spacious, at least three carriages can be driven side by side, right?"

Chuncao is a little girl in the end, originally worried on the road, but when she arrived in Jinzhou, she saw that it was very lively outside, so she left those things behind, opened a corner of the curtain all the way, and leaned on the window to see it with relish.

"Really? Let me see. ”

Cui Yuzhu didn't go far either, but he remembered that he didn't build such a road when he was young, and he didn't have such a lively scene.

The old Liu Tou, who was driving the car outside the car, smiled and said: "The girls don't know, these three places in Nanyang are the money bags of our Emperor Dachu, and they are no less prosperous than the capital. Merchants need to cross the three cities of Nanyang to cross the city, and to cross the bridge, you don't see how much the caravan queuing up into the city every morning gets, can you not have money? Tut-tut......"

Cui Yuzhu has never heard of any entrance fees and bridge tolls in this world, and she thinks what is the difference between this and a robber.

Yang Yunhai was also surprised: "But just now we went all the way into the city, and we were not charged any entrance fees." ”

"The people don't charge for it, the caravan collects it. You think, how expensive this blue brick paved road is, how can the caravan cars and horses press over one by one, without charge. ”

If the road is open, the goods will be speedy. Jinzhou is close to the capital, which is not only a good place for trading, but also a must-go.

The cost of crossing the city is not expensive, where will those caravans look at these small money.

Cui Yuzhu finally couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "But I remember passing by Jinzhou when I was a child, and the road didn't seem to be so spacious......

Lao Liu Tou explained: "Not only Jinzhou, but also Yezhou and Bianzhou, there was no difference from other places before, Bianzhou is better, and there are some spar mines, which are richer than the other two places. ”

Yang Yunhai asked for her: "Then why has it changed so much in recent years?" ”

Old Liu Tou said: "These three cities are called Nanyang, which is the fief of His Royal Highness King Qin." His Royal Highness King Qin was crowned king at the age of fifteen, and now he has seven years, when he first came, he built a lot of construction, dug mountains in the mountains, and built bridges when encountering water, otherwise there would be a prosperous scene today. Therefore, the people here call him King of Qin, regardless of whether His Royal Highness King Qin is called King Qin, and they all call him King Nanyang in private. ”

Yang Yunhai said: "I see. ”

"This Qin Wangfu was built in Jinzhou, but I heard that the Qin King likes to live in the capital, so there is no owner in the entire palace."

Cui Yuzhu knew that he had actually entered his fiefdom, and he didn't know whether he was happy or worried.

She couldn't help asking: "Is this the way to Jinzhou?" ”

"But isn't it, if the girl wants to go to Jinzhou, she has to pass through Nanyang, otherwise she has to take a small road for seven or eight days to arrive.

That's right, too.

Cui Yuzhu sighed in her heart.

It was getting late, and the group chose a small inn to rest for the night.

Cui Yuzhu entered the inn with the support of Chuncao, and as soon as she got off the carriage, she attracted the attention of many people.

Others saw a woman wearing a black veil and half-worn coarse cloth clothes, but her waist was slender and her posture was graceful, which made people can't help but want to look at it again.

Cui Yuzhu is so tired that her back hurts, and she doesn't care what other people look at.

When she went upstairs, she saw that the furnishings of the room were half new and half old, but fortunately it was still clean and tidy, so she removed the curtain and sat down on the bed.

The quilt was soft and quiet here, and after a while, Cui Yuzhu became sleepy, and she fell asleep with her eyelids closed.

A quarter of an hour later, Haruka woke her up.

"Girl, although the name of this shop is cheesy, what is it called Yuelai Inn, but the food is really good. You ate a bun along the way, you should be hungry, eat first, and after eating, I'll go to the shop to get some water for you to bathe. ”

Cui Yuzhu was grateful to his brother and sister, and hurriedly pulled Chuncao to sit down, and said softly: "Thanks to Chun'er, you took care of me all the way, we don't pay attention to those etiquettes in the capital when we go out, so you can sit down and eat." ”

Chuncao secretly swallowed saliva at these dishes, and saw that she couldn't push it, so she had to sit down and use it with her.

A total of four dishes, roasted pigeon, vegetarian fried green beans, steamed dumplings, brine tofu, the taste is really good, Cui Yuzhu also ate half a bowl of rice, and the rest of the food is all collected and eaten by spring grass.

"Did they eat your brother?"

"Eat, he and Lao Liu Tou have already eaten underneath."

"That's good."

Cui Yuzhu ran out secretly, and it is also a shame that Yang Yunhai and Chuncao are Qiu's mother's children, and they have known Cui Yuzhu since childhood, otherwise how could they bear this responsibility and protect each other all the way.

After eating, Chuncao put the dishes away, and as soon as Cui Yuzhu heard her close the door, there was a sound of a bunch of dishes breaking outside the door.

"Chun'er, what's going on?"

Cui Yuzhu frowned slightly, and opened the door and walked out.

When I looked up, I saw a group of black-clothed people lined up in the corridor, their faces were cold and imposing, and the clothes on their chests and arms were embroidered with a blue eagle picture.

The eagle's eyes in the picture are sharp, as if he is staring at some prey, and he is about to pounce in the next second.

"Ah, ...... of you?" Cui Yuzhu exhaled softly.

Looking at it, the man at the head had a thin face and looked extremely familiar, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Ah, you are the ......"

Who is that, she can't name it anyway.

The man's eyes were gentle, and he said respectfully: "In Xia Xiuyu, I have come to welcome Miss Cui into the mansion." ”

The man is Xiuyu next to Zhu Jingming.

Cui Yuzhu glanced at the frightened Chuncao, walked over and shook her hand, shook her head and said, "What house are you into?" I'm just passing through here, and we're on our way tomorrow, so go back. ”

Chuncao wanted to cry without tears: "Yes...... We were just passing through, very poor ......"

Chuncao thought they were here to rob.

Xiuyu's face was indifferent, and she repeated Fang Cai's words again.

Cui Yuzhu took a deep breath and said, "That's it, don't pay attention to them." ”

After that, he led Chuncao into the room, and without looking at Xiuyu's expression, he closed the door.

Black Eagle Guard has always had a variety of means, but unfortunately this woman is not an ordinary person, not only an official noblewoman, but also a person on the tip of their master's heart, so naturally she can't use ordinary methods to treat prisoners.

After a while, Xiuyu knocked on the door and asked, "Miss Cui, who are you from the man and the old man downstairs?" ”

Cui Yuzhu was shocked to think that Yang Yunhai was still below, so she opened the door and said, "He came with me, you must not do anything to him." ”

Xiuyu said: "Don't worry, girl, I'm just letting her take the first step." ”

Chuncao's face changed when she heard this, and she poked her head out and exclaimed, "What did you do to my brother?" ”

Xiuyu said: "It's not good, it's just that please go to the house for a cup of tea." ”
