The county official was thinking about the sword, but at this time, Helian Chen suddenly hooked the corners of his lips slightly, and said to the county official: "If the county official likes this sword, take it." It was meant to be given to you. ”

"Really? It's not bad to count you kid," the Chuzhou county magistrate said, curling the corners of his lips, "Okay, today's incident should have never happened." I won't care about you. ”

"And this stinky girl, be vigilant in the future, don't be so impulsive anymore, I don't know how to die when the time comes," Chuzhou Zhixian said, and slightly narrowed a pair of greedy eyes.

"Thank you, it's just that it shouldn't be enough for you to teach me a lesson, how to behave as a person," Chu Xiaoxiang was saying, but he was a little inexplicable in his heart, how could this Helian Chen be the same as before as soon as he left the palace.

In the past, he was fearless in the face of the emperor, but now a county official let Helian Chen give up the sword in his hand.

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, but Helian Chen suddenly raised his hand, put it on her shoulder, and said to her, "Hurry up." ”

"But, your sword ......" Chu Xiaoxiang was pursing his lips and said, at this time, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Helian Chen's lips, and he stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Xiaoxiang tightly, about to leave from here.

Helian Chen's reaction was obvious, which made Chu Xiaoxiang even more incomprehensible.

However, he didn't want to continue to waste time on this dog official, so Chu Xiaoxiang pursed his thin lips and left the Chuzhou County Ya with Helianchen.

It's just that he just walked out of the side door a few steps, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang suddenly let go of the hand that was held in the palm of Helianchen just now, and said to Helianchen very complainingly: "Don't tell me, you actually left your personal belongings there just now." Is it because you're scared? ”

"Scared?" Helian Chen was obviously taken aback, but when his clear eyes met the eyes of Chu Xiaoxiang staring at him, he suddenly had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

"County Lord, don't you misunderstand, do you? The sword......"

Helian Chen was talking, but at this time, he was interrupted a little by Chu Xiaoxiang, shook his head, and Chu Xiaoxiang said to Helianchen: "To be honest, I really can't understand you." That sword should have been given to you by the little emperor, right? ”

"It's ......" Helian Chen listened to Chu Xiaoxiang's words, and didn't argue, but at this time, Chu Xiaoxiang quickly asked Helian Chen: "Then it's even more undeserved, you actually gave the things given by the emperor to others, and you are still in this poor and remote place."

Could it be that you really don't worry, if the emperor finds out about it, will he be blamed? ”

"The sword...... Actually, I was about to tell you that it is a rare bond, and you will know this later. ”

Helian Chen was saying with a look of concern, but Chu Xiaoxiang's eyes suddenly widened, "What else is the relationship?" I think you're just scared. ”

"If you don't take out this sword, the county magistrate will take me for blame, so you're afraid that I'll drag you down......"

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, and suddenly the tip of her nose became a little pantothenic, especially the words "afraid of being affected" just now, which made her even more uncomfortable.

Helian Chen could only look helpless, lightly raised his palm, and stroked between Chu Xiaoxiang's long hair, "Why do you think so?" Fool, in short, many things will you understand later. ”

"Actually scolded me for being stupid" Although Chu Xiaoxiang was a little unwilling, she didn't say anything, at this time, just at the exit of the side door, Chu Xiaoxiang saw her two maids from a distance, waiting for her there.

"County Lord, we've been waiting for you, you went in for so long just now, so we almost thought that you didn't want us, so we left by ourselves."

"No," Chu Xiaoxiang was saying, and suddenly couldn't help but say, "Even if I don't want anyone, it's impossible not to want you." ”

"Don't want whom?" Zhuohua and Tao Yao were listening with relish, but at this time, Helian Chen next to him suddenly had a handsome face that was slightly calm.

Maybe he is the "who" that Chu Xiaoxiang said in his mouth, although Chu Xiaoxiang can do without him.

But she couldn't leave the two maids beside her......

Thinking of this, Helian Chen was unconsciously a little jealous, but at this time, he suddenly heard someone calling them behind him, "A few nobles, you may stay?" Just now, the master ordered that there will be a chamber of commerce tomorrow.

Our lord has already made an invitation, and the provincial prefect and other high-ranking officials will come to attend.

A few people came with the treasures of the capital, so it was better to participate together. ”

Although Helian Chen nodded, the warm invitation was probably fake, but it was true that he wanted them to help support the table, but it was okay like this, anyway, the more people there were, the more advantageous it would be to do things at that time.

"Okay, go back and tell your master. Let's just say that we will come on time," Helian Chen said in response.

At this time, the scarlet uniformed guard standing behind him, the person who had just spoken to them, nodded happily, "Please rest assured, we will go back and tell you." ”

The guard was talking, still a little happy in his heart, he had never carried out the task so smoothly, he knew that these people in front of him were so easy to speak, it was better to take this task earlier.

As soon as the guards turned around and were about to go back to their lives, they heard Chu Xiaoxiang say, "I really didn't expect you to agree so quickly." ”

Although Helian Chen felt that Chu Xiaoxiang didn't seem to understand him well, he only had a slight arc on his lips.

Although it may not be understood now, it should be understood soon.

This game has already shown the tip of his iceberg......

Sure enough, just when the Chuzhou county magistrate was about to present the sword he got from the hands of Hechu and the two of them to the provincial prefect, after a careful look at the prefect.

The county magistrate did not get the affirmation he expected, but on the contrary, there was an inexplicable series of questions.

"This sword...... Where did you get that from? ”

"Back to the prefect, this sword is a gift for the lower officials to leave for the lower officials when they meet with guests from their own mansions."

"Really? Do you remember the identity of the other party, I think this sword is full of luxury, either rich or expensive. Eight times out of ten, I'm afraid it was obtained from the palace. ”

"What? Palace? The county magistrate suddenly slipped on the soles of his feet, and although he had a somewhat flattering expression, the look on his face at the moment was like eating a ball of stool.

"You mean, it's a palace thing?"

"Isn't it? Could it be that when the other party gave you the sword, he didn't tell you the source of the sword? ”

The prefect's questioning made the county magistrate feel a little unconfident inexplicably, could it be that the sword was really from the palace? But if the sword is really a palace thing, then you can't stay with you!

Thinking of this, the county magistrate was a little annoyed, why did he just make meat like this, even if he really wanted something, he wouldn't even dare to take the things in the palace!

However, from another point of view, if this sword came from the palace, then could those two people also be from the palace?

But if not, wouldn't you have met a thief yourself! Such a person is really bold enough to even dare to steal the things of the palace.

Thinking of this, the county magistrate, who was in a dilemma, suddenly felt as if he was a little difficult to ride a tiger, and the situation in front of him made him feel like he was on the edge of the abyss whether he received the sword or not.

"According to what the provincial prefect said, why don't you do me a favor now?" In order to find out the truth, the county official had no choice but to say to the provincial prefect.

At this time, the provincial prefect frowned, looking impatient, but he did not refuse.

"You say!"

"Okay, Xia Guan implores you to help Xia Guan and recognize someone. If it was really from the palace, then the subordinate felt that we might be able to pull him in, which would save a lot of trouble.

But if the sword is stolen, such a person will only cause trouble if he keeps it, and it is better to ......"

As the county magistrate spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture of slashing.

"Since this is so good, this official will accompany you on such a trip!"

The provincial prefect was talking, but nodded, he also used to be a jinshi in the palace in his early years, went to the capital to participate in the imperial examination, and saw some scenes in the capital.

Whether the other party is from the palace or not, he can know once he is tempted.

Listening to the words of the provincial prefect, the Chuzhou county official quickly nodded, "Okay, the lower official is very grateful." As long as you can find out the identity of the other party, these silver tickets are yours! ”

As he spoke, the county magistrate put down the three hundred taels of snowflake silver tickets and put them on the table in front of the provincial prefect.

Although the provincial prefect saw the silver ticket and instinctively put it away, he was still pretending to be casual on his face.

"Originally, it was just a gesture, so there was no need to be so polite!"

After hearing this, the county magistrate of Chuzhou was stunned, and quickly handed over the new one, and at this time, the provincial prefect nodded: "Okay, let's leave early!" ”

On the other side, Helianchen and the others had just found a somewhat formal inn and settled down in Chuzhou, although this inn looked no different from an ordinary inn, but it was actually an inn run by the government.

As soon as he arrived at the inn, Helian Chen felt that it seemed to be a little deserted, as if there were no other guests in the store except for the shopkeeper.

"Do you have a place to eat here?" As soon as Helian Chen entered the store, he said to the shopkeeper, as if he was a little worried that Chu Xiaoxiang would be hungry.

But at this time, although the shopkeeper was stunned, he pointed to a plaque next to him and said, "Yes, look at this." ”

"Three meals a day, three or two!"

"Three taels of silver?" Chu Xiaoxiang was stunned for a while, if he changed places, he probably wouldn't be able to find this second one.

However, it was not easy to find a place to eat, drink and Lazar here, thinking that he would like to go to Chuzhou for a night, so Chu Xiaoxiang had to endure it!

Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, when he suddenly untied a plate of bead flowers on his head, put it on the table in front of him, and said to the shopkeeper: "Take this bead flower as a pawn!" It should be worth a few silver taels. Three or two meals, counting the few of us, and the money for the accommodation room, remember to give me change if you have any excess! ”

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper was nodding and saying, but he saw the bead flower in his hand, the delicately carved dragon and phoenix pattern, which was worth hundreds of taels of silver, and he unconsciously saw some light in front of him.

At this time, Helian Chen on the side heard that Chu Xiaoxiang was going to sell it with his head for everyone's sake, so he couldn't help coughing in a low voice.
