Chapter 169: Pleasant Knocking

The road is long, and the sky is high and wide.

Within a few days, Xu Zun and others had already walked through Changqing City and entered the boundary of Yonghui.

Yonghui is a special county, its area is vast, larger than the area of several other counties in Tangzhou.

However, the counties under his jurisdiction were the fewest because the land was vast and sparsely populated, and the land was barren, except for the steep mountains and plateaus, which were not very suitable for habitation.

Moreover, it is connected to Hanzhou on the top, Xiazhou on the bottom, and Shuzhou on the southeast, and almost all around are desolate places, which forms a gray area that does not care about everything.

Even though it is under the jurisdiction of Tang Prefecture, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the state capital's control here has never been smooth.

What's more interesting is that although this place is the main road from Xiazhou to Beijing, a large number of troops were not stationed, and no military fortress was established.

One of the reasons is that although Xiazhou is known for its wilderness, it has been peaceful and stable for many years, and there are big Xuantie horses stationed there, so it will not be lost.

Another reason is that this place is very close to the border troops of Hanzhou, and if there is really a war, troops can also be transferred from Hanzhou.

In addition, there is one of the most important reasons, that is, Yonghui is too poor, and the cost of stationing troops here is too high.

It is said that the Yonghui County Government did not even build a castle, but only built many houses along the riverbank, which looked more like a huge market.

Fortunately, there are still three rivers passing through Yonghui County, and if there are no more of these water veins, I am afraid that sooner or later they will be abandoned.

At this moment, Xu Zun's convoy was driving on the main road, in order to better understand the situation, Xu Zun asked the eight guards to change into ordinary clothes and pretend to be merchants on the road.

In addition, Xu Zun also sent two guards to Yonghui to inquire about information early, and he was well prepared.

"My lord......" In Xu Zun's new carriage, Zhao Yu took a few pieces of paper and asked, "Tell me again, what is this thing called?" ”

"J," Xu Zun introduced, "J, Q, K, now the two of us are farmers, Huo Anu is the landlord, we have to fight her!" ”

It turned out that it was Xu Zun who made a deck of playing cards on the road and was teaching the two to fight the landlord.

"Why do you want to fight the landlord?" Huo Anu was surprised, "Besides, I'm not a landlord?" I don't have any land in my house! ”

"It's not really fighting the landlord, it's playing cards, do you understand how to play cards?" Xu Zun introduced, "You are the landlord, you play the cards first, I have just taught you the rules of the cards!" ”

"Big ...... My lord," Zhao Yu said, looking at the playing cards in his hand, "What do these two ghosts mean?" ”

"I'm click," Xu Zun looked at it, but when he saw Zhao Yu holding the two kings, he immediately frowned and said, "If you can't do this, the two kings will be called, and you have to be the local master." ”

"Me? I can't be it," Zhao Yu waved his hand, "If I inherit my father's family property, it will be almost the same!" ”

Call......

Xu Zun patted his head and said helplessly:

"Otherwise, let's fry Jinhua!"

"Huh?" Zhao Yu remembered something, and immediately took out the dice from his arms, "I have dice here, let's play with dice, shall we?" ”

"Don't play, don't play," Huo Anu waved his hand, "I don't gamble!" ”

"Okay," Xu Zun found that he couldn't teach these two people, so he put away the poker and said depressedly, "Then what are we going to do?" ”

"Or ...... Drink? Zhao Yu said, "I bought a jar of good wine from Changqing City, do you want to try it?" ”

Xu Zun shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

"My lord, my lord'......" Zhao Yu said again, "Why don't we chat!" Tell us what's going on with that Wonju woman? Why do you have to let her follow us? ”

"Haven't we already talked about it?" Xu Zun said casually, "Keep an eye on it these days, the news that we took him to Yonghui is no longer a secret, I always feel that someone will come to save her!" ”

"Isn't that just the right shot?" Zhao Yu clenched his fists, "I'm worried that I can't find a clue!" ”

"My lord," Huo Anu interjected, "we were in a hurry, and we forgot to say hello to Honggu, and that girl also knows a lot of secrets of the Xuanmen, so we should bring her with us." ”

Xu Zun shook his head: "I have already thought about this question, but Honggu is still just a child, and she should not be allowed to take risks with us."

"Don't worry, I've already left a letter for Taemin, asking him to temporarily leave Honggu at the county office for protection, just in case."

"Oh, that's good......" Huo Anu was relieved.

However, this alien girl's face has always been sad, since she knew that Shen Qian might be the mastermind of the iron coffin case, she has always been worried.

After all, she has a good relationship with Shen Qian, and she doesn't want Shen Qian to go astray no matter what.

"It's too stuffy here," said Huo Anu as he lifted his iron umbrella and lifted the curtain, "I'll go outside and breathe!" ”

With that, she whistled her mount, and then leaped onto her horse and rode her horse.

"This hot girl," Zhao Yu glanced at Xu Zun playfully and said, "Are you still angry with adults?" I told her that she was fine, and you had to let me spy on her. ”

"Leave her alone, let's talk about yourself!" Xu Zun said, "The last time I met Cai Kun, he didn't tell me that you were an internal guard!" ”

"What?" Zhao Yu's face changed suddenly, "Did you ask him?" You can't do that, isn't that tantamount to betraying me? ”

"Pretend!" Xu Zun bluffed, "You're not an internal guard at all, and you're still bluffing me?" ”

"My lord, how do you say that?" Zhao Yu hurriedly pleaded hard, "I really didn't lie, I'm really an internal guard, just a half-hung internal guard, the unprofessional kind!"

"Huh? Impossible? If you really asked Cai Kun, then he shouldn't admit it, I had already shown him the token at that time! ”

"Alright, alright," Xu Zun squinted his eyes and said, "Teasing you!" Look at what makes you nervous, you can't still have a ghost in your heart, right? ”

"Oh, look at what you said," Zhao Yu argued awkwardly, "How can Neiwei talk about such a thing casually!" It's not good, that's a crime of deception, don't scare me so much in the future......"

"Alas, it's a bit boring here," Xu Zun stretched and lay on the saddle and said, "I'd better get some sleep, you go out!" ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhao Yu smacked his lips vigorously, and then lifted the curtain and walked out of the carriage.

However, he did not have a war horse that could listen to the whistle, so he simply sat next to the guard driving the carriage and talked with others about the mountains.

Xu Zun lay in the carriage and smiled helplessly.

In fact, he didn't ask Cai Kun whether Zhao Yu was an internal guard.

The reason why he didn't ask is also very simple, that is- he forgot to ask!

At that time, Cai Kun was surprised and surprised by everything he said to him, where could he still think of asking Zhao Yu about it?

Therefore, it is quite pleasant to use this stalk to knock Zhao Yu now.

For some reason, although Xu Zun believed that Zhao Yu was indeed an internal guard, he still felt that he had something that he didn't tell the truth.

What Xu Zun didn't know was that although Zhao Yu was talking to the driving guard Kan Dashan in a decent manner at this moment, there were already bursts of cold sweat on his forehead......
