Outside the car, the sky was clear and blue.

From time to time, the sound of bamboo cannons was heard in the distant fields, and on the first day of the new year, it was spent on the road.

The sun sets, the stars change, and the carriage slowly moves into the distance.

They passed through Fenyang, Yindi, Qinyuan and other places, and finally in the middle of the first month, they came to the border of Han and Zhou - Jinzhou City.

Exiting the system guidance function, Liu Ruyan drove to the city.

Today, the Great Zhou ruled the hinterland of the Central Plains, and often sent troops to conquer other states, and the people who were involved in the war had to leave their homes.

Under the city gates, there were a large number of displaced people.

Liu Ruyan asked Shen Yanchu to put on the fence, and when she passed through the city gate, she deliberately opened the curtain and said to the guard: "Ming Juezi is really traveling here, and the carriage and horses are tired, I wonder if the general can make it convenient?" ”

The real person's prestige shook all directions, and the gatekeeper hurriedly glanced at the man wearing a crane, and saw the Taoist boy who was driving the car show a token - a purple gold gourd.

"I've seen a real person!" The gatekeepers and the homeless people lined up on either side, allowing the wagons to enter the city first.

The car slowly drove across the stone road, and Liu Ruyan met the attentive eyes from all directions, smiling kindly.

When the carriage entered the market, she followed the merchant team in front of her, drove the carriage to an inn, and said to Bai Zhi and Shen Yanchu, "I'll stay here tonight." ”

Bai Zhi leaned out half of her body from the car, and saw that the sun was still bright in the sky: "Stay overnight now, will the hour be earlier?" ”

Liu Ruyan pointed to a group of people in front of him, lowered his voice and said: "These people are wearing leather belts with slingshots and darts, they are the dart masters, they pretend to be merchants to enter the city, but they go straight to this inn, it can be seen that they have sent people to step on the point before." ”

She folded her hands, shook her head and smiled: "The court thinks that I have defected, and Da Zhou is the first choice, and they will definitely fortify along the road, so it is better to be careful in everything." Since there is a dart master in this inn, we can sleep peacefully tonight. ”

"I see." Bai Zhi suddenly realized.

After dinner, Bai Zhi went to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicinal herbs.

Liu Ruyan saw that it was still early, so she decided to take Shen Yanchu to the study and buy a few ancient books of metaphysics and come back.

Inside the study.

She looked at the books lined up on the shelves and asked him, "Lao Tzu", "Zhuangzi", and "Zhou Yi" are collectively known as the Three Xuan, have you read these three books?" ”

Shen Yan was a little sluggish, and familiar memories emerged: "I have read." ”

Liu Ruyan nodded with satisfaction, and then selected a few ancient books from the bookshelf and handed them to the other party: "In the Wei and Jin dynasties, Confucianism and Taoism were combined to derive a new Taoist school, called metaphysics. Exquisite, subtle, elegant and far-reaching. Ming Juezi has a deep attainment in metaphysics, in case anyone asks about you, buy a few ancient books and go back to study carefully. ”

Shen Yanchu silently took the book.

Liu Ruyan looked arrogant, and had the courage to point out the country, until the guy said with a smile: "Thank you to the two masters, a total of two dollars and five cents." ”

Her face suddenly froze: "Can't negotiate?" ”

"Guest officer, it really can't be lowered."

took out the empty money bag and paid for the book with the few copper plates left, Liu Ruyan secretly glanced at the demon a few steps behind him.

Or sell him?

"Ding, all born equal, fight against illegal trafficking!"

As soon as my thoughts started, a warning sound came from the system.

Liu Ruyan: "......"

Yu Yu raised his eyes, and a refugee was walking on the opposite side.

The man was wearing a cloak of silk color, just like the rich color of tea, and there was a bit of innocence in the simplicity.

Liu Ruyan paused, his eyes turned to him, it was obvious that he was dressed as an ordinary homeless person, his face was dirty, but the hands in his sleeves were white and clean, with a pampered and noble manner.

The man hurried by, perhaps the street was too crowded, and he accidentally bumped into the man nearby.

He lowered his head slightly awkwardly, and apologized to the man: "It's the contemptible person who has neglected to disturb Your Excellency. ”

He spoke humbly, then turned away, and after a short time hurried back.

He ran to the man who was hit earlier, and his voice was green: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, have you ever seen a money bag made of rain silk brocade?" ”

The man on the other side of the clinker looked at him with disdain: "You are called Huazi, and you still need silk?" ”

"I ......" he was speechless for a while, but he caught a glimpse of the money bag hidden by the man's waist, and his face changed suddenly, "The money bag is ...... with you"

Seeing that there were more and more crowds gathered around him, the man became angry and shouted: "In broad daylight, let Hanako rob money!" ”

Jinju's busiest market is getting more and more noisy, and people are looking at two men in the middle of the road, one lightly dressed and the other in ragged clothes.

Outside the crowd, Shen Yanchu looked at the two of them from a distance and said to Liu Ruyan, "The money bag belongs to the piano master." ”

Liu Ruyan also noticed the guqin he was carrying: "Born in troubled times, how can you not learn some self-protection ability." ”

She said nonchalantly, turned around and left.

Who knew that she was able to take a step, and she heard a prompt sound from the system: "The characters in the plot have been discovered, locked, and the new plot has been successfully triggered, and the people are in a hurry." ”

"Why did you do this again?" Turning on her toes, she made a wooden face and faced the vast street.

"Don't get out of the way, don't get in the way!" The man's palms were raised high, and he was about to hit someone.

The violinist's eyes changed suddenly, and at this time, a Taoist boy suddenly popped out and protected him safely behind.

"After watching this play, it turned out that the thief was shouting to catch the thief." Liu Ruyan crossed her arms around her chest, looking at the thief for a long time.

"You're an accomplice to this kid?"

"The reaction was neat." She smiled sarcastically, and her gaze fell on the other party as if it were substance, "Male, five feet three, thin, wearing a sheep fur coat, with a market value of five dollars." Wearing a dark blue cloak, the market value is two dollars. You're all second-hand, and of course, you'll have to make another discount. ”

"You, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Am I talking nonsense?" Liu Ruyan smiled and bent her eyes, "I'm afraid you stole this dress too." ”

The man was so angry that he yelled "nonsense", turned his head and left.

"Panic what." She turned around to block his way, spread out her palms, "Hand over the money bag before leaving." ”

"Why should I give you my things?" The man looked impatient.

Liu Ruyan stood behind the man and suddenly asked, "Do you know where Yusi brocade comes from?" ”

"The devil knows this kind of thing!" He cursed.

"What about you?" She asked the luthier rhetorically.

The violinist was surprised, and opened his mouth gently, his voice was clear and soft: "Rain silk brocade, white in color, like silk rain, produced in Shu." And I'm from Shu. ”

He took out a customs clearance document from his arms, which did have the official seal of Shu.

"How much money is left in the bag?" She asked again.

After a moment's thought, the violinist replied, "Five taels of silver, twenty copper coins." ”

Seeing that his deeds were revealed, the thief decisively withdrew.

"Shen Yanchu!" As she shouted, a breeze fluttered in her ears, and a few strands of sideburns were raised.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thief was thrown back into the street, his nose and face swollen, and a dirty money bag lay at his feet.

Liu Ruyan bent down to pick up the money bag, patted off the dust on it, and handed it back to the pianist.

Under the cloak, a pair of spring-like eyes were full of smiles: "The contemptible surname is Dong, thank you for this little brother." ”

"It's just a gesture, no thanks." She said righteously, and then calmly turned around, leaving a back, "If there is fate, we will meet again." ”

"Tsk, the host's wave of operations is as fierce as a tiger." Ye Xun laughed intriguingly.

Liu Ruyan not only successfully brushed a wave of favorability, but under the character column, the loyalty value of the pianist also rose to 20, and when it broke through 60, it could be classified as our camp.

I didn't want to be too entangled with these people, and clinker appeared one after another, like an invisible net, seemingly calm, but in fact it was full of dangers.

If she says that the world is a chess game, then she can only compete for chess pieces and let these allies become sharp blades in her hands, but she doesn't know who is playing against her.
