Shuokang is located in the southernmost part of Daye, close to Nanchu.

Compared with the wind, sand and dust in the north, there are many trees in Shuokang, and even in autumn, it is still green.

Between the overlapping mountains, a majestic mountain range connects Daye and Southern Chu, and Luyun Pass is located in it, becoming the most important pass of Daye to block Southern Chu, and Shuokang City, where Zhennan Wangfu is located, is in Luyun Pass.

Mo Xuanchen and his entourage pretended to be merchants who went south, took the road guide and identity document prepared by the second prince earlier, and after Yi Rong entered Shuokang City, he felt that the atmosphere in the city was extremely tense.

Although the streets and alleys are lively, from time to time there are officers and soldiers wearing armor passing by, looking vigilantly at some people who have just entered the city, just from the city gate to the short time of staying in the city restaurant, Mo Xuanchen and they were stopped and interrogated by several groups of people one after another, and even the fur goods brought into the city as a camouflage were checked back and forth several times.

When they lived in the Xuan'an Building in the city, they happened to bump into the officers and soldiers who came to investigate.

After tossing and retreating, Yun Jinchu pretended to be annoyed and said: "What's going on in this city, we come every year to get the goods, and we have never been interrogated like this. ”

"I looked at the posture of those officers and soldiers just now, as if something big had happened in the city."

Mo Xuanchen's pretended rich merchant also showed some worry on his face, as if he was frightened by the situation in the city, "Otherwise, we won't live here, let's send the goods out of the customs directly, otherwise if something really happens, all the good skins on those truckloads will be smashed on our hands." ”

"That's not possible, those good snow fox skins are worth 10,000 gold, we won't lose money if we really smash it!"

Yun Jinchu pulled his hand and said, "Let's send things out of the customs first, don't stop......"

Seeing that they were leaving, the shopkeeper of Xuan'an Building hurriedly opened his mouth to leave people: "The two guest officers stay." ”

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man with a short beard, and he stepped forward and said,

"Don't be afraid, you two are living in this city, there is the Zhennan Wangfu guarding it, how can anything big happen."

Yun Jinchu glared when he heard this: "You can't do it when we are blind, so many officers and soldiers are searching around, you tell me it's okay?" ”

She wore a woman's bun, dressed richly, and looked like a young woman with a hot personality when her face was trimmed.

Yun Jinchu's tone was a little fierce when he crossed his waist and raised his eyebrows: "It's not the first time that our husband and wife have come to Shuokang City, we haven't seen this in the past, don't fool us!" ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I really didn't fool the two of you, these officers and soldiers are not looking for trouble, they are searching for the Southern Chu assassin who assassinated the imperial court a few days ago." ”

"Nanchu assassins?"

Yun Jinchu frowned.

The shopkeeper explained: "It's not the first time you two have come to Shuokang, you should also know that our Shuokang City is adjacent to Luyun Pass, and from time to time there will be some Nanchu fine works mixed in this city. ”

"The prince of the South Wangfu in the town of the city is stationed at the border all the year round, and his hands are stained with a lot of blood of the Southern Chu people, which is the thorn in the eyes of those thieves in Southern Chu.

"Some time ago, the Japanese court came to Qincha, and it happened to bump into those thieves to assassinate the king of Zhennan, and the prince's martial arts were not succeeded by those people, but the Qincha master from the capital died one, and it is said that his head was cut off, which was simply scared to death."

Yun Jinchu and Mo Xuanchen heard that Jingzhong Qincha had died, and at the same time, their hearts were groaned.

King Hui is in the middle of the Qin Mission, they don't believe that it will be so coincidental that when they come to Shuokang, they bumped into the people of Nanchu and assassinated Mo Jingyue, so Mo Jingyue shouldn't jump over the wall and move directly towards King Hui, right?

Mo Xuanchen pretended to be stunned and said: "On the way here, I also heard that Qin sent to the south, it seems that he is still some prince in the court, and he is dead?" ”

"Not really."

The shopkeeper said, "I heard that it is not the leader of King Hui, it seems to be an adult from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, surnamed Li." ”

He said casually and continued,

"Anyway, there was a lot of trouble that day, and the Zhennan Wangfu was also in a mess, I heard that those thieves who assassinated people hurt people and ran away a few, so the king of Zhennan let people set up cards everywhere at the city gate, and sent people to search for assassins all over the city, and Nan Chu dared to attack and kill our courtiers in public, and the prince also moved the anger of thunder, and let Chen Binglu outside the cloud pass, saying that if Nan Chu didn't give an explanation, he would lead his troops to fight over."

"At present, there is martial law at the end of Luyun Pass, except for the people in the army, no one else can get out of the pass, the two of you should not go at this time, it is better to stay in the city, there are a few merchants in our city who do leather business, and the price given is also very fair, so as not to go to Luyun Pass and cause trouble."

Mo Xuanchen and Yun Jinchu glanced at each other, and both of them showed horror on their faces: "So that's the case, thank you for the reminder from the shopkeeper." ”

Since they couldn't get out, the two naturally stayed in Xuan'an Building.

Because of the expensive leather goods, the two did not live in the front of the crowded upstairs, and under the advice of the shopkeeper, they added some more silver wallets and went down to a separate courtyard behind the Xuan'an Building.

After moving everything in, they rewarded the junior second class and others who came to help, and the accompanying guards scattered around the hospital.

After Yun Jinchu followed Mo Xuanchen into the house, he said in a deep voice: "Your second uncle is very good. ”

Mo Xuanchen's expression was slightly sarcastic: "When my grandfather was here, he was always impulsive and aggressive, and he had no heart. ”

Yun Jinchu sighed, let's not say whether he is aggressive or not, but the words "heart without a city" have nothing to do with this king of Zhennan.

"Nine times out of ten, he found the assassin himself."

Yun Jinchu walked to the table and sat down and said, "King Hui, they just came to the southern border, and they happened to bump into the person who assassinated the king of Zhennan, your second uncle is afraid that Emperor Jing is not good at coming this time, and it is not good to resist the decree openly, so he used Nanchu to provoke trouble outside Chen Bingguan to coerce Emperor Jing." ”

Emperor Jing sent people to the south this time to pass the decree, King Hui and his entourage represented both the face of the court and the emperor, and Nan Chu assassinated and murdered Daye Qincha in public, and Daye was bound to ask Nan Chu for an explanation.

Everyone knows what the assassin is about, how could Nan Chu pay for it?

Under the entanglement of the two sides, the situation in the south is tense.

Shuo Kang and Nanchu are only separated by a Luyun Pass, once the war is together, the king of Zhennan, who is the commander-in-chief, will naturally not be able to enter Beijing, even if it is just a drama and there is no war, but the 300,000 troops in the south outside the Chen Bing Pass is the biggest threat to Emperor Jing.

Mo Jingyue was telling Emperor Jing in a bright way.

Even if he really enters Beijing, once he has an accident in Beijing, the southern border will be chaotic.
