In front of the government office of Nanchuan County, many officials have already gathered.

Two months ago, when the King of Chu was critically ill, they knew that a prince would come here to take charge of the southwestern border bordering Shu and Changhe.

It's just that it is not yet known who it will be.

Half a month ago, the king of Chu and the second son Ma Xisheng succeeded to take over the town, and they soon received news that King Qi, that is, the fourth prince Ma Xifan, who was the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, would become the lord of this place.

Today is a big day for him to go to Nanchuan to take over all the affairs of the territory under his jurisdiction, and the officials of all sizes in the jurisdiction naturally come to congratulate him on his duties.

However, they all looked serious and nervous, and even if they were talking in small quarters, they all looked at the street from time to time, and looked around.

"When?"

"It's not the beginning."

The two leading officials frowned.

"The honor guard of the king must have arrived outside the city, right? He won't notice...... Right?

"No, General Du has already released people by King Qi's side, and his every move is under the control of the general! Besides, in order not to startle the snake, we didn't even release people at the city gate. ”

At this time, the two turned their heads together to look at General Du on the side.

General Du held the saber on his waist and greeted his henchmen in a low voice: "Be vigilant, although we have controlled his whereabouts, pray that the king is smart and must not be careless." ”

The henchman looked flattering: "The general can rest assured, the net has been laid, and the king will become a prisoner today." ”

General Du exhaled: "Then it couldn't be better." ”

……

A carriage drove towards the procession out of the city, and Okawa and Pillar, who followed on either side of the carriage, scanned the surroundings warily.

"In the tea shop."

Hearing Dachuan's prompt, Zhuzi glanced at the few people in the tea shop who seemed to be drinking tea and resting: "Nine, it's okay, it's not much." ”

"Don't be careless, maybe there's still something in the shadows."

"You know, huh? Look ahead, it's that fool. ”

When Dachuan heard this, he looked ahead, and saw a bucket-type horse-drawn carriage on the tail of the team going out of the city, and there were four girls sitting in it, one of whom was Hua Rou.

"Leave her alone." Okawa frowned and said in a deep voice, and the pillar said a soft "um" and didn't speak again.

The two drove the carriage and silently lined up at the end of the line.

Inside the carriage, the handkerchief that the man had been holding tightly unfolded.

"The disaster of killing oneself must be prevented, go to Shu to find the Tang Gate with pearl flowers, and you can keep safe."

On the silk handkerchief, Juanxiu's handwriting was a little scribbled, and this headless and tailless sentence made a trace of sadness float between the man's eyebrows.

Is this the way out? Still is...... Snare?

After a moment, he closed the silk handkerchief and took out the beaded flowers and looked at them carefully, staring as if to find an answer in it.

This is a half-cut beaded flower, and the white five-petaled trumpet flower is enchanting in the green leaves.

If Hua Rou saw this beaded flower, she would have screamed, because this half of the beaded flower was exactly the same as the one left for her by her mother—obviously the two half-cut beaded flowers were originally one.

"It's a waste of time!"

"yes!"

Hearing the voice of his entourage outside the car, the man lifted the curtain.

"What's the situation?"

"The dead fat man who defended the city set up a gambling game, and everyone who went out of the city had to make a bet with him first."

"Guess, guess wrong, don't pass." Okawa added in a low voice.

The man frowned, and looked under the gate in front of him, and sure enough, there was a table there, and a fat ball-like guard was smiling.

The man's gaze retracted, swept ahead, and then he raised a frown.

It's her?

He saw Hua Rou, and he also saw the two thief-eyed human teeth on the wheel—yes, they had taught them a lesson a few days ago because they had bumped into these two bastards abducting and selling girls, but they were running too fast at the time, and he was too lazy to entangle, so he didn't pay attention, and the result was ......

The man lowered the curtain and smiled bitterly in annoyance: What can you do? How many can I save in this world? Besides, I'm just a mud bodhisattva.

Putting the silk handkerchief and bead blossom in his sleeve pocket, he reached out for the chessboard and fiddled with the clouds at will, but after only two swings, he heard the two bastards in front of him talking.

"Damn, how could we possibly guess that?"

"Yes! If you guess odd and even, there is still half a chance to guess it, and now you actually have to guess the number correctly, my God, how can that Yunzi guess correctly? ”

A chuckle tugged at the corner of the man's mouth.

"How could you not guess? Count the rest and guess correctly, right? ”

The silver bell-like woman's voice stiffened the chuckle on the man's face, and he raised his hand to lift a corner of the curtain and look ahead.

At this moment, Hua Rou, who was sitting in the car body, smiled and shared her findings very seriously.

"You see, the big brother soldier always has that pile of white stones at his hand, and when it comes to us, as long as you figure out how many there are in total, don't you know how many are inside?"

The two bastards slapped their heads together in a state of realization.

"Little girl, you're very smart!"

Hua Rou smiled sweetly, with a little smugness on her face.

Behind, Pillar and Okawa glanced at each other, shaking their heads and pouting weakly in unison.

The man lowered the corner of the curtain, and there were only two words in his heart: stupid.

……

"Report! Pray for the king's honor to arrive! ”

After the scouts galloped and sang, the officials immediately straightened their official uniforms.

In the distance, a procession of chariots and horses slowly approached the government.

General Du nodded to the people beside him, and the hand holding the saber was tightly clenched.

……

The team out of the city, after all the failures without exception, finally arrived at Hua Rou and them.

Hua Rou quickly counted the number of clouds when the previous person guessed the coin.

So when one of the bastards stepped forward, she kindly tugged at someone's arm and whispered, "Thirty-two." ”

The man immediately went up to guess, and the curtain of the carriage behind him opened a crack.

The fat man guarding the city casually deducted some clouds and asked the man to guess, and after counting the clouds, he carefully reported the number: "Thirteen!" ”

The fat man guarding the city raised his hand to open the bowl, and at this moment, in the gap between the curtain of the carriage, a cloud flew out and hit the cloud pile, and no one noticed it at all.

The fat man guarding the city counted: "Wrong, it's fourteen!" ”

Ren Yazi was stunned, Hua Rou turned out of the car with some excitement, and rushed to the front: "How can it be fourteen?" It's thirteen! ”

The fat man guarding the city glanced at Hua Rou and pointed to the cloud on the table: "Count it yourself!" ”

Hua Rou counted, and it was really fourteen.

"Someone must be cheating!" Hua Rou's words without thinking about it were so frightened that people immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her back: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Renyazi hurriedly apologized to the fat man: "We guessed wrong......"

Hua Rou stiffened her neck: "What's wrong?" Obviously, there are a total of thirty-two stones, there are nineteen on the outside, and there must be only thirteen on the inside, but now there is one more, isn't this a fraud? ”

The fat man guarding the city was furious when he heard this: "Bastard! You yellow-haired girl dare to slander me out of a thousand? Come on, grab her for me and whip her ten times! ”

The soldiers defending the city immediately moved to catch Hua Rou, and Hua Rou quickly retreated in fear, and as soon as she retreated to the side of the carriage behind, the soldiers defending the city rushed up and pushed away the two attendants on the side of the carriage and reached out to grab her.

Okawa and Zhuzi resisted the urge to make a move, and each stood aside with a timid and fearful look, waiting for Hua Rou to be captured.

However, none of them expected that Hua Rou would raise her hands and grab the window of the carriage, shouting at the top of her voice: "You let go of me!" It's obvious that you are a fraudster, why do you still arrest me and beat me? You are unreasonable! ”

The soldiers didn't talk nonsense with Hua Rou, they pulled Hua Rou hard, Hua Rou tried to keep herself by the side of the carriage, struggling and pulling, she grabbed the curtain of the car with a wave of her hand, and looked at the man in the car when she boarded.

"Childe, help me!"

The man in the car was handsome and extraordinary, and Hua Rou felt that he would definitely do justice and save herself.

But...... The man held out two fingers to break her fingers on the car window......
