Xinzhou is located on a fertile plain, with rivers crisscrossing and running through it, surrounded by mountains on three sides.

On the plain, Mu Yu sat on horseback, looked from afar, and saw a moat tightly surrounding the Xinzhou city wall, which was made of huge stones, standing tall and unclimbable, and strictly blocking the inside and outside of the state city.

"Xinzhou City is so solemn and solemn, our Donglin City is really incomparable." Mu Yu said with emotion.

"Let's go, drive!" Feng Yu didn't say a word, flicked his horsewhip, and drove his horse towards the closed city gate.

Seeing this, Mu Yu also followed closely.

Two horses galloped across the endless plains, like fish in water. Two figures, one black and one red, gradually approached the closed city gate.

Under the sunset, the lonely city is closed, the breeze is gone, and everyone is there.

On the tower of the city, the general of the guard saw someone coming, and shouted, "Who is coming?!" ”

"I'm the king of Donglin County, and I'm here to do a business business!"

The wind suddenly came, lifting the long hair behind Feng Yu's back and dancing wildly in the wind, and his shouts dissipated a little, but the general still heard it clearly, and only their shouts were left in the silent wilderness.

The general walked down from the city tower, and when he was young, the city gate was opened from the inside out, and two groups of soldiers in armor and halberds poured out in a procession, guarding both sides of the city gate, and strode out of the middle of the procession. As soon as the man came out, he clenched his fists heavily across the moat: "The last general Zhang Xian has long admired the good name of General Feng, and I don't want to see it today, General Feng is already the king of a county!" ”

After that, he shouted: "Open the city gates!" ”

Mu Yu looked up at the castle tower and saw a long suspension bridge falling from top to bottom without hurry, finally docking with the river bank at their feet. Feng Yu led the horse onto the suspension bridge, and Mu Yu followed after being stunned for a moment.

When the two horses came near the gate, they turned over and dismounted.

When the general saw Feng Yu, he knelt down on one knee and bowed: "I've seen the king of the county!" ”

Feng Yu helped him up with one hand and said indifferently: "There is General Lao." ”

"How dare the last general be called a general in front of you, you are the ......"

"There is no need to say polite words again, the business is important."

"Oh, please!"

Feng Yu led the horse into the city gate, and Mu Yu followed.

The two men led their horses into the city gate, and then they went all the way along the towering walls on both sides, and when they crossed the road, they suddenly became enlightened. In front of it are two rows of small shops, and there are many vendors and small inns sandwiched between them, which can be described as prosperous.

A large road leads directly to the east and west, and there are various complex and intertwined alleys and alleys on the side. The two led the horses along the main road, passing all kinds of stalls and shops, small bridges and flowing water, weak women and children, seven-foot strong men, drooping old men, and all kinds of people along the way...... This is the east of the city, and the more you go to the market, the more lively and prosperous it becomes, and the noise and prosperity make people can't stop and are dizzying. The streets and alleys are crowded with people, and Mu Yu and Feng Yu are the few people in the crowd who lead the horses to walk around, and with the help of the horses, they are not overcrowded.

When the two of them heard where the Xinzhou state capital was, they drove their horses through the crowd towards the target location, and gradually the crowd became much thinner, and the two of them accelerated their speed.

Before you know it, the sun has already set, and the night is slowly coming. The market was still as lively as day, and there was even a tendency to be better, the lanterns were hung high, the candles were lit, and for a time the lights were bright, and at about two o'clock the day, the two men and two horses finally arrived at the state capital.

As soon as the two got off the horse, a doorman came to ask, Feng Yu revealed his identity, and the doorman immediately went in to report. There are two big red lanterns hanging high in front of the door of the state capital, four eaves pillars support the eaves on the steps in front of the door, and the plaque with three golden characters on the door is quite bright even at night, through the flowers and trees, Mu Yu can see the servants walking around in the corridor under the eaves of the palace.

After a while, it was the doorman who led a middle-aged man wearing an official uniform to go out, the middle-aged man had a mustache on his lips, small eyes, and a medium build.

As soon as he walked out, Mu Yu guessed that this person was the Lord of Xinzhou Prefecture.

"The king of Xinzhou Prefecture visited the county king, and he lost his welcome, and he also looked at Haihan!"

"The people's girl Mu Yu meets the state capital!"

As soon as Wang Shen spoke, Mu Yu followed closely and bowed.

Feng Yu said: "No courtesy." ”

"The king of the county is here, Wang Shen is very honored, and the king of the county is invited inside."

The servant took the horse led by Feng Yu and Mu Yu and led it to the stable.

Mu Yu followed Feng Yu into the backyard of the government under the leadership of Wang Shen. In the backyard garden, a group of children were watching juggling with great interest, and the little maids on the side were all standing by and watching the juggling with the children. There are rockeries and various flowers and trees in the garden, as well as a variety of bonsai potted plants, which are pleasant and full of fresh air, and they are happy.

Wang Shen led Feng Yu and Mu Yu around the porch and hall, but they arrived at the study.

Outside the study, it was quiet and undisturbed, and the garden was one white and one black—two extremes.

After entering the study, Wang Shen hugged his fists and said, "I don't know if the king of the county has arrived, what's the matter?" He looked serious, as if he were doing business.

Feng Yu also hugged his fists and said: "There is labor." I came here today to do something important, this girl next to me is the young lady of the Mu family in Donglin County, her father not long ago went to the field to discuss business but was robbed by bandits, the bandits were very rampant, and asked to prepare 10 million taels of gold with them within seven days, otherwise this girl's father will die, and that group of bandits is active in the Xinzhou area, the whereabouts are extremely secretive, and the Xinzhou official army has been defeated in its hands of the Black Wind Village. ”

"Black Wind Village? Hiss! Wang Shen gasped in surprise and paced slowly with his hands behind his back.

Mu Yu said: "My lord, my father was robbed by bandits for no reason to kill him, but he has never done anything bad in his life, how can he end up like this?" Please help my father! So saying, she knelt down.

When Wang Shen saw it, he hurriedly helped her up: "Girl, please get up, please get up!" Then he sighed and said: "I think the girl also knows that the whereabouts of Heifeng Village are mysterious and well-trained, and the officers and soldiers of our state capital are not their opponents, and their three leaders are even more elusive and have strange martial arts, and I really can't help you." ”

Feng Yu said: "Lord Wang, if I have a way to lure out that group of bandits, are you willing to cooperate with me?" His words were flat, but he was very confident, as if he was strategizing.

Seeing that Feng Yu was calm and calm, the king knew that he had a strategy, so he immediately said: "Since the king of the county has a way, then the old man is willing to cooperate, I hope to arrest the bandits as soon as possible, and give an explanation to the people of Xinzhou City and this girl!" ”
