Leaving the Qixing Hui Hall, Chu Xuan walked all the way along the official road of the Wei State, intending to take a boat to the western port and go to the Northern Yuan Liang State to defect to Luo Lan.

But yesterday, he was entangled with the Qixing congregation for too long, and the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted, and after he was full of wine and food, he only cared about sleeping, and did not recover much.

As a last resort, he had to stop and go. When you are tired, you sit down and run the mental method to recover your spiritual power, and when your spiritual power has recovered somewhat, you try to fly with your body. After walking like this for a morning, I came to a county town called Lingwu in the west of Wei State.

"Tsk, if you keep going like this, you have to go to the Year of the Monkey to get to the port to take a boat?" Chu Xuan found a long pavilion outside the city and sat down, feeling a burst of despair in his heart. This damn Wei State is really too big!

Speaking of which, the administrative divisions of the three continents of the Northern Yuan, the Eastern Yuan, and the Southern Yuan are almost the same, and they are all composed of states, counties, and counties, but one state on the Eastern and Northern Yuan continents is almost as big as the ten states on the Southern Yuan continent.

Generally speaking, a state has more than 30 counties under its jurisdiction, and a county has more than 50 counties under its jurisdiction. As far as Wei is concerned, there are more than 150 states in the country, with a wide territory, a large population, and a prosperous national strength.

In addition to Wei, the second largest country of the Three Yuan should belong to the Yan State in the western part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Yan has more than 90 states, and its population is slightly smaller than that of Wei, so its national strength is naturally slightly inferior.

As for the third great power of the Three Yuan, it is not easy to define, after all, the Liang State and the Jin State in the eastern part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are about the same strength. Regardless of the economy, military, or territory, the two countries can be said to be on equal footing, and they have attacked each other for many years.

However, none of these things have anything to do with Chu Xuan now, he just wants to get to the port early to take a boat.

After resting in the long pavilion for a while, Chu Xuan still planned to go around Lingwu City first to see if he could buy a mount to walk, but he really couldn't walk.

At noon, under the gate of Lingwu City, although there were many pedestrians, most of them were listless. The weather was already hot, and the deafening cicadas were coming to everyone's ears from nowhere, making people even more irritated.

Chu Xuan drooped his head, only to feel that his mouth was dry and his steps were vain, and he planned to find a teahouse to beg for a bowl of water to drink when he entered the city. When he looked ahead, he saw a carriage parked at the gate of the city, and a woman got out of the carriage, as if she was arguing with the guards at the gate.

Chu Xuan rubbed his eyes, making sure that he was not dazzled, he only felt that the woman's figure seemed familiar, as if it was someone he knew. So he bypassed the people in line and walked directly to the woman, trying to see who the other party was.

"Who is that!stinky boy, don't you line up well, do you want to find a fight?" Seeing Chu Xuan cutting in line, the guards at the city gate immediately shouted.

Chu Xuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Don't be annoyed, I just think that I seem to know this girl, so I came to confirm it and leave immediately." ”

The woman under the carriage heard Chu Xuan's voice, turned around, and said in surprise: "It's Lin Gongzi! Great, it turns out that you are here!"

Chu Xuan fixed his eyes and saw that he really knew this woman, it was actually Xia Qinghan's little maid, Ah Yuan, so he said strangely: "Why are you, is your young lady here too?"

As he was asking, he suddenly heard a sweet voice from the carriage: "Young Master Lin, I'm here, I'm here." ”

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a beautiful woman with a flowing skirt and flowers tiptoed out of the carriage and slowly came to Chu Xuan, who else was Xia Qinghan.

"Miss Xia, why are you here?" Chu Xuan said puzzled.

He didn't care much about the other party's dress, since he saw Yi Xinya's face that day, all the beauties in the world seemed to him to be nothing more than that.

Seeing that the other party was not attracted by her appearance at all, Xia Qinghan's heart was originally a little uncomfortable, but after listening to the other party's words, her face suddenly turned crimson again, and she said: "Lin Gongzi, I, I specially asked the sect for leave because of something at home, and I wanted... I want to go back to Beiyuan. ”

Chu Xuan was still puzzled: "Since you are returning to the Northern Yuan on leave, why did you come to the Eastern Yuan? Even if you change ships, you don't need to come here, right?"

Seeing Xia Qinghan twisting like this, and seeing Chu Xuan so wooden, Ah Yuan on the side couldn't help but interject: "Miss, if you want to see this guy, you can make it clear, why can't you even make up stories?" ”

"Ah, don't talk nonsense, I didn't ......" Xia Qinghan's face was only so hot that he couldn't wait to bury his face in his chest, and he didn't dare to look at Chu Xuan anymore with his head lowered.

Seeing that she was so shy, Ah Yuan shook her head, and continued: "You don't let me say it, but I want to say it." Lin Gongzi, do you really don't understand or pretend not to understand? My young lady invited you to her birthday banquet that day, because you broke your promise and didn't go to the appointment, she didn't even celebrate her birthday, and came here directly, you still don't understand her intentions?"

"I, I don't deserve such ...... Miss Xia"

In fact, Xia Qinghan was interesting to himself, Chu Xuan didn't know, but he didn't want to pierce this layer of window paper, so as not to embarrass both of them.

At this time, the little girl forcibly pierced the window paper, still in front of so many people. Chu Xuan hesitated for a long time, and then had to express his position, and said lightly: "Miss Xia, if you are really interested in Lin Xuan, then Lin Xuan can only say, thank you for your wrong love, I am a person from a humble background, and I am really not worthy of your ......"

Before Xia Qinghan could finish his words, his long eyelashes were already full of tears, and a jade face was as pitiful as a hibiscus out of water, he bit his lip and said in a trembling voice: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? Who is interested in you? I like to come here, can't I come here? Who said I must have come to you?"

Seeing her like this, Chu Xuan sighed, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but the guards at the city gates on both sides became furious, and scolded and scolded: ", you crazy men and women, are you flirting in the wrong place?

When Chu Xuan heard this, he also felt a little uncomfortable, and was about to persuade the two girls to enter the city with him, but Xia Qinghan was angry, and said coldly to the guards: "You are just some watchdogs! You dare to talk to this girl in this tone, if you are in Beiyuan, you must break your dog's legs!"

"You!stinky girl's skin!Lao Tzu sees that you have itchy skin!" Hearing Xia Qinghan's words, one of the guards was furious and whipped at her.

Chu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, took a whip for her, and endured the pain and said to the guard: "Don't be angry, Master Jun, she has a bad temper since she was a child, I will accompany you on her behalf." ”

"Hmph, who are you, why do you say that I have a bad temper since I was a child?" Xia Qinghan saw that he was beaten for himself, and he was happy and sad in his heart, and complained in a low voice.

Chu Xuan ignored her, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, secretly stuffed it to the guard, and said with a smile: "Master Jun, there is nothing else, we will leave first." ”

The guard was disgusted with the less, and wanted to embarrass him again, but suddenly saw that he was wearing the jade pendant that Gongzi Yi had given him before, and exclaimed: "Are you from the palace? Adults forgive sins! Adults forgive sins! The villain should die, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!", he slapped himself inexplicably.

Chu Xuan scratched his head with a ghostly expression.
