Half a month later, two carriages slowly headed for Jiuyuan Mansion City.

Jiuyuan, an important town in the border area, is also the administrative center of the border area, the city is strong, and the population is scattered. It is far from being comparable to Guangqiu County.

This pitch-black carriage is already eye-catching, and on both sides of the carriage, there is a team of black-armored cavalry escorting it, which is even more extravagant.

The soldiers guarding the city gate, seeing this scene, were immediately frightened and did not dare to speak, and let the two teams of cavalry slowly drive in.

Song Nian looked at this scene and said with emotion: "Our Black Armor Army is really unimpeded. ”

Chu He closed his eyes and did not answer.

But when the carriage passed through the city gate, Chu He suddenly shouted to stop the carriage and blocked the city gate tightly.

The commander of the army guarding the gate hurried to the carriage and whispered, "Your Excellency, you ...... What are the commands? ”

Chu He was in the carriage and said coldly: "Guarding the city gate is an important accusation, how can I not dare to check it because of my noble status?" What if you get in with spies and fugitives? “

The military leader bowed and nodded: "What the lord reprimands, what the lord reprimands." “

Chu He said coldly: "You are so self-sufficient. Walk! “

As the carriage continued on, the soldier bowed to the side, not daring to speak.

The wheels were sparkling, Song Nian looked out the window with a smile and was silent.

Chu He suddenly said: "What, do you have an opinion on our disposition?" “

The carriage was quite stuffy, the bumps were unbearable, and in the past ten days, the two of them were in the carriage together, and they were very suspicious of each other.

Just like it is now.

"Hmph, how can I have the official authority of Lord Chu, how dare I contradict Lord Chu." Song Nian lay on the wooden window of the carriage and looked out the window.

Chu He's eyes were slight: "This seat lets you say, you just say it." Is this the kind of person who can't hear the voices of others? ”

Song Nian snorted twice.

Chu He's face was a little unbearable: "You have been talking all the way around, is it wrong for this seat to drive you to the carriage behind?" ”

Song Nian still hummed, looked at the bustling reception outside, and remained silent.

"Well, you should be stubborn and unheard...... Then you, just say it, this seat promises, and will not drive you to the carriage again. Again...... It's just half a day's work......" Chu He finally snorted a few times, and still vaguely apologized to Song Nian.

Song Nian smiled proudly, the carriage behind was for pulling goods, and the comfort was naturally not as good as that of Chu He, which could have turned her upside down in half a day, and it was just time to take revenge at this time.

"Hmph, Lord Chu, you said so, why is my subordinate embarrassed not to say it?" Song Nian turned around with a smile and said to Chu He: "Just that matter......

"Why, is what I said wrong? Since he is on duty at the city gate, all those who come and go must be strictly checked! Chu He still insisted on his opinion.

Song Nian smiled and said: "My Lord Chu, you are a third-grade person, so there is naturally no problem with it." Presumably, Your Majesty also appreciates your spirit of serving the country loyally...... But ......"

Song Nian pointed to the city gate behind him: "The military leader guarding the gate looks like he has been sent over to do such drudgery that offends people." Lord Chu's words, he didn't understand, but you can't expect a military leader who was assigned to the city gate to be willing to offend high-ranking officials and nobles, right? He couldn't afford to offend any of those people, so he could only pretend that he couldn't see them. ”

"This, that's what you said, the system problem?" Chu He frowned deeply.

"Right!" Song Nian snapped his fingers.

"Always use these strange words......" Chu He frowned. Along the way, he tried to tell Song Nian about the rules of officialdom and etiquette...... Then, he was shamefully robbed of the "nagging power" by Song Nian and instilled a stomach full of strange theories.

"Then, what you said, shouldn't you care about this matter?" Chu He frowned.

Song Nian smiled: "If it were me, I would have stopped and asked him carefully, have there been any suspicious people entering this place recently?" Or if he noticed something was wrong? Although the commander and the soldiers were sent to the city gates, they did not do their duty, but they ...... They have been here all along, and they must know more than we do. ”

Chu He nodded slightly, and then said, "Stop!" ”

The whole procession suddenly stopped in the street.

Chu He jumped out of the car and walked towards the city gate.

Song Nian hurriedly followed: "You are really my brother...... How can you say that once it comes out, it's really going to ask now? ”

Chu He ignored Song Nian and directly found the military leader.

The soldier trembled with fright: "Your Excellency...... Adult, small will not spare anyone next time! ”

Chu He was stunned in embarrassment, and then said, "This matter ...... Do what you can, after all, there are many people you can't afford to offend. ”

The military leader was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Thank you for your understanding, thank you for your understanding." ”

"However", Chu He's words changed: "This Jiuyuan Mansion is an important border town, guarding the key to the hinterland of my Great Yongguo, and it should not be taken lightly." If there is any change, you must tell the government in time. ”

The military leader smiled bitterly: "My lord, Nafutai ...... I'm a little military leader, how can I see it? ”

Song Nian caught up and said with a smile: "You have been in the army for many years, and you have familiar generals, in short, if there is something wrong, tell me in time, you can always reduce a few losses." ”

"Yes...... My lord. Although the military leader could see that Song Nian was a daughter, the official uniform on her body could not be faked, so she simply stopped doubting Song Nian's identity and called her an adult directly, which is always right.

"By the way, today, what's new in this Jiuyuan City?" Song Nian asked.

"Recently? Although our Jiuyuan City is located in a remote area, the goods of the Hu people in the northwest will gather in our Jiuyuan Mansion for trading, so people come and go, all of them are strange, if you want to say strange, it is strange. If it's not strange, it's not strange, it's like this on weekdays. The military commander said cautiously.

"Well, got it. Thanks a lot. Song Nian said with a smile: "By the way, Wang family, have there been any major events recently?" ”

"The Wang family?" The leader of the army suddenly became vigilant.

Song Nian smiled and showed him his waist card: "I am the master of the grain and grass of the Black Armor Army, and this is our Lord Chu of the Black Armor Army." I asked you about this because we were going to visit the Wang family, so we inquired. ”

"It turns out that the two adults are going to visit the Wang family?" The military leader breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "The Wang family is the largest in our Jiuyuan City, and it can be said that there are new things every day......

"It seems that we can still catch up with the Wang family's meal." Song Nian asked with a smile, "Is there anything new then?" ”

The military leader thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "If there is, there is really one." In the past, the cattle and sheep in the north of the Saibei were all transported by the people of the Fuxiang, and this time I heard that the caravan of the Fuxiang was damaged, so the cattle and sheep were sent by Hu Shang in person. Although we have always had Hu people in Jiuyuan City, this group of Hu people is very different. ”

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and really asked something?

"What's the difference?"

The military leader scratched his head: "We rough people, we can't talk about it, we always feel like these people, it seems to be ...... It's like killing people, the killing intent is very heavy, and at all times, he holds a knife in his hand. They wouldn't accept our inspection at the time, so they would have forced their way through the door and almost got into a conflict with my men, if it weren't for ...... If it weren't for the strict orders of the Futai Lord, we would have made them taste the bitterness! ”

Song Nian smiled, she guessed the truth from the words of the military leader.

I'm afraid that if it weren't for the troops sent by Futai to suppress it, the soldiers at the head of the army and the city gate would not be the opponent of the Hu merchants at all.

As for the cause of the conflict, of course Song Nian knew.

After chatting a few more words, Song Nian said politely: "Excuse me, in a few days, when we settle down, I'm afraid that I will have to ask you about the situation." ”

"Adults are free to do so, and the little ones are guarding this city gate every day. These three gates, the guards are my brothers, and if you want to ask anything, just look for us. The military leader said again and again.

Walking not far away, Chu He suddenly said: "This person is only afraid of being full of lies." ”

Song Nian smiled: "My Lord Chu, you are not someone else's parents, why should people tell you the truth?" ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Since that's the case, why bother asking him!" ”

Song Nian smiled and said, "Lord Chu, there is a completely difference between asking and not asking. ”

Song Nian was silent for a moment, and then said: "It must be like that, the military leader just now, on the surface, he is full of nonsense, but in fact, ...... He said something very important to you, my lord. “

Chu He frowned: "What's the matter?" Is it a royal banquet? Or the Hu caravan? ”

Song Nian smiled and said lightly: "It's that team of Hu people, who killed people." He saw evidence of the killing, but ...... And did not dare to speak out. ”

Chu He was stunned for a moment, and said to Song Nian: "How did you see it?" ”

Song Nian smiled: "Lord Chu, this is the military leader of the city gate, even if he really finds something, his status is humble, unless he is the top boss, no one will listen to what he says." Today, it was rare for him to see such a high-ranking official as Lord Chu, so he naturally couldn't help but tell what he saw and what he was worried about. “

Chu He was silent for a moment before he said, "Since that's the case, then he's ......"

Chu He originally wanted to say why the head of the army at the city gate didn't report to the official, but immediately, he thought of another thing.

Song Nian smiled: "My Lord Chu, you finally thought of it?" The head of the city gate army found that these Hu people were wrong, and when they wanted to investigate, they were ordered by the people on the other side of the palace and stopped them. ”

Chu He was a little unconvinced: "These are just your guesses." ”

Song Nian said with a smile: "Then, Lord Chu, make a bet?" ”

Chu He was not fooled, and along the way, he was almost bound to lose every gamble.

"Bet on it. Then this case ......" Chu He fell into deep thinking mode.

Song Nian hurriedly interrupted him: "My Lord Chu, we are here this time to calm down the affairs of the Wang family, and to tell Futai about the situation of General Xue Hu, but we are not here to solve the case in Jiuyuan City!" ”

Song Nian was really angry.

If you know these things, you will know it, and you have to solve the case...... With so many cases, can you solve them?
