Just as Sophia and her entourage entered the Partridge Pass, a carriage also merged from the road to Xikang Mansion from south to north into the road from Longdong to the northwest, and went straight to the Partridge Pass. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the afterglow of the fall is faintly sprinkled on the avenue, this important business route that communicates the Central Plains and the Northwest and even the Central Continent is still very busy at this time, out of the road on horseback and car passengers, from time to time there are horse teams or convoys to transport goods to and fro, raising a burst of dust, everything seems so harmonious and natural relaxed.

"Miss, you're almost at the Partridge Pass ahead, aren't you?" asked a green-clothed girl sitting next to her through the curtain of the carriage as she looked curiously at the pedestrians who came and went to stay before sunset.

Luo Yi Saixue, sitting in the carriage reclining on the brocade cushion under him, the girl who was asked retracted her eyes from the window, and said with a quiet smile: "Well, it should be soon, the fork in the road is the entrance of this famous big trade road, from this eastward through Longdong into the empire's Heshuo Prefecture, and then through the Heshuo area you can reach Yanjing Zhongzhou, to the west is the Partridge Pass, the first checkpoint for the Northwest to enter the Central Plains." ”

The green-clothed girl beside her could be seen from her outfit that she was obviously the maid of the girl in white, probably it was difficult to go out of the door so far, and she felt very fresh about everything outside, her eyes always stayed outside the window, and her small mouth was always chirping and asking.

"Hey, isn't the location of the Partridge Pass quite important? Wouldn't anyone who enters or goes out of the east be constrained?"

"Well, that's nature, otherwise what's the use of this level? This level was built as a fortress to play its role in holding the northwest, attacking and retreating. Although the snow-clothed girl has an ordinary appearance, if people see the delicate and intoxicating style in her gestures, they will definitely suspect her true identity, but unfortunately this is in the carriage, and naturally no one can know.

"Oh, didn't the empire become suspicious of that Li Wufeng very early?" the girl in green was stunned for a moment and asked suspiciously.

"Silly girl, Li Wufeng didn't know where he was when the fortress was built. "The girl in the snowcoat smiled coquettishly, although her face was dull, but the abundance revealed in her bones still couldn't be hidden," More than 10 years ago, the Luope people on the Tengger grassland began to invade the northwest of the empire, the empire was unable to deal with it, and the northwest soon became a scorched earth, and directly threatened the hinterland of the Central Plains of the empire. ”

"It's a pity that the Taiping Sect took advantage of the chaos to make a mess of the entire empire, allowing Li Wufeng to take a big advantage. There seemed to be some regret in the eyes of the snow-clothed girl, "Such a dangerous pass actually fell into the hands of Li Wufeng, he is really favored by God." ”

"Miss, that's not right, let Li Wufeng and the Taiping Army have a good time, it's good for everyone. The girl in green grinned.

"I'm afraid that Li Wufeng and the Taiping army are not so stupid, you see how long Li Wufeng has occupied this Partridge Pass, the army can't get out of the Partridge Pass in half a step, and the Taiping Army in Longdong Mansion also seems to be turning a blind eye to the Partridge Pass that is close at hand, and the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, everyone knows it. The snow-clad girl shook her head slightly, her jade fingers gently squeezed the hair that had fallen due to the bumps in the carriage, but her tone was unusually calm.

"Ah, this Li Wufeng is so bold?" the girl in green was a little surprised.

"This is not called boldness, but the empire does not have any evidence to prove that the two of them have a tacit understanding, Li Wufeng can quibble that he is unable to advance eastward, and he has done his best to defend this partridge pass, who can do anything to him?" A wry smile appeared on the corner of the snow-clothed girl's mouth, and she said helplessly.

"Speaking of which, now this Li Wufeng is almost the same as our Lin family, the empire can't do anything about him at all, isn't it, miss?"

"I'm afraid it's even better, this guy is now much better than the environment our Lin family is in. The corners of the snow-clothed girl's mouth curled slightly, as if she couldn't make a judgment to the other party, "Although this guy is very obedient to the empire on the surface, no one can say what is in his bones, but this guy has used this superficial obedience to reap a lot of benefits from the central government of the empire, and our Lin family doesn't have such a good thing." ”

As soon as she mentioned her own home, the girl in the snow-clad couldn't help but sigh lightly, why couldn't her father understand this truth, and had to tear his face with the empire for the sake of immediate interests? Thinking of this, the snow-clad girl shook her head, not wanting to think about it further, anyway, since their father and they insisted on going their own way, it was difficult for them to speak, let them think about how to deal with it themselves.

The carriage moved smoothly between the children's conversations, and gradually, the towering city tower gradually appeared on the horizon, "Miss, there is Partridge Pass ahead, I'm afraid we can only rest at Partridge Pass tonight." ”

"Well, it's okay, I also want to see what Partridge Pass will be like after Li Wufeng's occupation. A reply floated out of the carriage.

It was already the last time to close the customs, and the business travelers in and out of the city tower were extremely busy, but the order was still in order, several patrol police officers were responsible for checking the identity documents of past business travelers, and several patrol police officers were responsible for checking the goods carried or escorted by merchants, and two personnel from the tax department were responsible for checking the tax payment vouchers for a large number of goods entering and leaving.

Everything seemed to be so smooth, checking the identity documents, checking whether there were any prohibited items, and then clearing the customs and letting them go, the patrol officers who checked also appeared polite, without any intention of making things difficult, and soon the group completed the inspection procedures, and the carriage slowly drove into the first checkpoint to the northwest -- Partridge Pass.

"My lord, just now another carriage entered the customs, also a man and two women, the male coachman, the female master and the servant, exactly the same situation as the car that entered the customs in front. A dark shadow flashed into a house not far from the gate, clinging to the city wall.

"Oh?" the middle-aged man who got the news stood up and paced back and forth in the not-so-spacious room, apparently thinking about something, "Is there anything suspicious?"

The report is a thin man, dark and capable, and his eyes are even brighter, "My lord, there is nothing suspicious, but now the war is in chaos, except for businessmen, who will run around on this road? These three people came from Jiangchuan Mansion in Sanjiang County, and said that they were going to Gaochang Province to protect, and they didn't see any doubts on the surface, but choosing this time to go to Gaochang was originally a big suspicion, and now they all know that the situation in the Western Regions is unstable, and these people are not like Tubaozi who have never seen the world, how can they not know these news?" And he also passed through the Hanzhong and Xikang regions controlled by the Taiping Sect! And the coachman also looked very simple, looking at the posture as if he had practiced for a few days, but he was not skilled in martial arts, and he couldn't see any depth. ”

"Well, I see. The middle-aged man nodded slightly, although his face did not change much, but he was obviously very satisfied with the analysis of the swarthy man, "It seems that today is very lively, we will be asked to hang two groups of people in one day, hehe, Tuesday, do a good job, maybe we will be lucky." ”

"My lord, do you think you still don't notify the people of the Security Bureau?" the swarthy man's face flashed with a hint of joy that could not be concealed, but he still cautiously asked again.

Seeing that his subordinates mentioned the three words of the Security Bureau, the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, he hesitated again and again, and his face became cautious, and finally spoke: "Well, let's report to the people above and ask them to notify the Security Bureau, in case it's really a big fish, don't delay it because of our greed, I don't want to see these guys from the Security Bureau." ”

"My lord, you are too careful, inform them that they should be, but they are all acting according to the orders of the above, to put it bluntly, they are all serving Lord Li, everyone is doing their own duties, each going their own way, why are we afraid of them? Not to mention, in the past two days, I have seen that the attitude of the people they are stationed here to contact seems to be much more honest, and I don't know if it is true or not? Anyway, the attitude has changed a lot, and the meeting is not so arrogant. When he said the words "theirs", the swarthy man's voice also lowered, and he gave a thumbs up to show the other party's boss.

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his subordinates to hear the whole news, it seems that sometimes the words circulating outside are not completely false, but he immediately turned his face dark: "Zhou Laoer, your ears are quite pointy, but let me tell you, you use your ears on the right path, these hearsay things are less where to spread falsehood, if you let the people of the Security Bureau know, isn't it another trouble? The above things are naturally managed by the people above, we just need to do our part." ”

"Hehe, my lord, the small one is just talking in front of you, outside, our mouth can be tight. The swarthy man grinned, "Okay, then let's go and arrange some manpower to keep an eye on these two groups of people." ”

"Well, be careful, don't expose it, I can't tell who the people who dare to come on this road are, maybe it's not what we imagined. The middle-aged man cautioned.
