Chapter 17 Old people meet but don't know each other

Jiang Yan returned to the guest room and took out a sheepskin map from his sleeve.

On this trip to Jiangnan, he went to the Wen family to attend a wedding banquet, but in fact he went to Fenglai Mountain to find the arsenal left by the king of Chengxi.

This army was the Huwei army sent by Emperor Shengjing, with a whole team of twenty people, each brave and good at fighting, and followed Jiang Yan all the way south, and earlier disguised himself as a merchant and stationed near the Taishou Mansion in Wuzhou.

Of course, the emperor was not stupid, and intended to let Jiang Yan explore the movements of the major clans in the south. The more high-profile, the more domineering the better, for fear that some families are secretly planning and deliberately plotting in an attempt to threaten the royal status.

"Bang!"

There was a sound next door, Jiang Yan's eyes flashed, and he quickly wrapped the sheepskin map and put it in his sleeve.

When he opened the door, before he had stepped out of the threshold, a woman in red jumped out of front of him and pounced behind him.

"Cockroach cockroach, magpie, save me!"

Xie Changyu was shocked, God knows how much shadow she left in her heart when she saw the cockroaches fluttering on the bed tent just now.

The biggest cockroach she has ever seen is nothing more than a fingernail cover, which is dense, and people panic when they see it, and the cockroaches in the south are as big as a bowl, which is very scary.

Fortunately, fortunately, she is about to go to the north! Rao never wants to meet cockroaches in the south again in his life.

The magpie rushed over, crying and laughing: "Miss, come out, the cockroach has been killed by the slave!"

She wondered in her heart, in the past, the eldest lady was bold, but she would never be afraid of snakes, insects, rats and ants, there were many cockroaches in the south, and the eldest lady had never reacted so much when she had seen bigger cockroaches before.

"Really?"

Xie Changyu shrank his head, not even realizing how cute she looked.

"The slave and maid assured that the room was clean and clean, not even an ant. ”

Jiang Yan fixed his eyes and saw the woman's appearance, and was a little disappointed.

He shook his head and laughed secretly, there are so many women who are afraid of cockroaches in this world, how can he recognize a strange woman as her?

"I'm sorry, Childe, I didn't mean to bother. ”

Xie Changyu came back to his senses and found that he had crossed into someone's room, and he was a little embarrassed.

When I looked up, I saw the man in white wearing a hood, and I didn't know his face. But he has a long body, a dusty temperament, and the demeanor of a son of a family, and his identity must be unusual.

This is the official family that the old man of the inn said?

Xie Changyu's eyes were shining, interesting! Who was in Shengjing's official family that she didn't know? Curiosity drove her to find out the identity of the man in white.

"Childe, you"

"Nothing. "Smack!"

“......”

Xie Changyu looked at the closed door, his outstretched hand was particularly embarrassed in the air, and seeing that the magpie was still looking at the fence, Xie Changyu retracted his hand and pretended to touch his nose inadvertently.

Is this man wood? She was such a beautiful woman standing at the door, and the man didn't even react at all!

How is it so similar to that bastard kid of the Sheng Jingjiang family?

It's all just as annoying.

......

In the guest room, a magpie is pouring hot water into the tub.

Xie Changyu lay on his side on the couch and held the album with one hand, watching it with relish.

"Miss, when did you love to read little books? The slave remembered that Miss used to say that when you saw a word, your head hurt. ”

Xie Changyu turned a page of the book, raised his lazy eyelids, and said lightly: "Oh, when you were not in Nanyuan, I fell in love with the booklet...... Well, by the way, is the bath ready?"

"Miss, this is still a bucket of water!" the magpie sighed while busy with the work in hand: "The water source in Fenglai Town is scarce, and this bucket of hot water is the last tank of water in this inn." ”

"Oh?" Xie Changyu put down the book and asked, "The last bucket of hot water, how can the shopkeeper give it to us." ”

"Hey, didn't the eldest lady say that everything in this world that can be solved with money is not a problem, and this bucket of water costs eight ingots of silver!"

Xie Changyu: "......"

What the hell is the logic? Even the magpie has been brainwashed by Chen Shuangshuang, isn't it fragrant to buy gold, silver and jewelry with eight ingots of silver? What is it to buy a bucket of water? It's too extravagant!

Although she Xie Changyu 'did all the bad things' in her previous life, she also had advantages, that is, she strictly followed the Xie family's family motto, 'Quiet self-cultivation, thrift to cultivate virtue.' ’

"Miss, the soup bath is ready! When you finish bathing, let's go downstairs to eat, and the guards are already urging. ”

"Alright, you go downstairs and wait. ”

Xie Changyu breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at the steamy bathtub behind the screen, and turned over.

"Hurry, hurry!" she complained.

Who wants to go to Shengjing? Who rarely succeeds in the Xie family?

If it weren't for the stupid brother Xie Changting who missed Sheng Jing, Xie Changyu would have slipped away when he hit Wuzhou City! How could Sheng Jing, who was scheming and scheming, have the unbridled and chic rivers and lakes in the little book.

However, in front of Fenglai Town, she was quite interested.

In the previous life, Xie Changyu, the former county lord of the imperial court, was ordered by the emperor to go to the northwest to personally strangle the rebellious king of Xicheng, as for the Youming army, although it was worshiped by the people in the west and had great achievements, it was too heartfelt to the king of Chengxi.

Xie Changyu admires the king of Xicheng, that person is too terrifying to control people's hearts, there are more than 100 people in the Youming Army, all of whom are deaf and mute, but they can surpass the Huwei Army under the command of the Shengjing Army, she used a whole year to carefully arrange the formation, in order to narrowly defeat the Youming Army.

But as for the brutal killing of the Phantom Army, she doesn't admit it!

After capturing more than 50 surviving Youming soldiers, she imprisoned them in the Northwest Prison. At that time, she had a headache for a long time about how to deal with this brainless Youming Army, but the day after the Youming Army was imprisoned, this group of troops disappeared inexplicably.

Later, it was rumored that she Xie Changyu was brutally buried alive by Youming Army. This spread of ten, ten and hundred, and added to the "great achievements" of Shengjing Xie Changyu.

Fenglai Town is even more strange, it stands to reason that the Youming Army is far away in the northwest, even if it is really dead, why do ghosts run to Fenglai Town, which is located in the middle of the north and south, to wreak havoc?

Also, who is the 'official' in the next room? What is his intention in leading the army to Fenglai Town, where birds don't?

This time, Xie Changyu didn't think that the old woman in the inn was talking nonsense.

What is the relationship between Fenglai Town and the Youming Army?

......

The lobby of the inn.

Xuanyi looked at the table full of dry noodles, dry cakes and other dry goods, full of black lines.

On the other side, Jiang Yan held a palm-sized dry cake in one hand and put it to his mouth, chewing it slowly, Rao is hat blocked his face, and it did not prevent people from watching the elegant and distant noble temperament of the famous son.

"Shopkeeper, it's just that you have no wine or food at this table, but it's not even too much for a pot of cold water. Xuanyi couldn't help but speak.

The old shopkeeper was full of apologies: "Two officials, I'm really sorry, our Fenglai Town originally had a scarce water source, and every time we were short of water, we rushed to the neighboring town to get it, the road was long and time-consuming, you see, the last tank of water was asked to go by the girl on the second floor." ”
