So, how did Lu Fangshan know about Zhao Jiangxi's trip? How did the officers and soldiers of the county government arrive?

It turned out that Zhao Jiangxi had borrowed silver taels from Wei Xing for a long time, and the more Wei Xing thought about it, the more he wondered, what was the use of this saint coming from Xiaoshi Village to borrow so many silver taels for no reason? What's even more strange is that there is no Prime Minister Li Qian and Zhang Jin, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, around him.

Wei Xing hurriedly rushed to the residence of Lu Fangshan in Zhixian County and told the matter again.

Lu Fangshan knew that the current law and order in the city was chaotic and thieves were rampant, so he couldn't help but be a little worried, for fear that something would happen to Zhao Jiangxi. He ordered a few powerful catchers to secretly follow the whereabouts of Zhao Jiangxi and Xiao Bolt.

Several catchers were told that there were two important businessmen who came to the capital and came to Fengyuan, and were instructed by the officials of the peak to secretly protect them and not to make any mistakes.

Several arresters were well aware of the stakes, so they were extremely cautious in this operation, so they saw through the bad intentions of a gang of gangsters in time and successfully swept them all.

Zhao Jiangxi and his entourage returned to Xiaoshi Village safely, that night, Zhao Jiangxi and a few people had dinner at the fishing house, went back to the old house to rest for a while, and took advantage of the moonlight to walk to the edge of the Xiaonan River, Li Qian and Zhang Jin wanted to follow, but were rejected by Zhao Jiangxi, there was no way, but they had to follow far behind, in case of accidents.

On the bank of the Xiaonan River, the moon shadow is swaying, sparkling, picturesque, next to a small fishing boat, the quiet river reflects the figures of two people, but it is Zhao Jiangxi and Wang Juan.

"Miss Juanzi, the girl was rescued by the sunset, and Zhao Xicai picked up a life back. Today is really beyond retribution, especially for this thing, a little thanks, I hope the girl likes it. ”

Zhao Jiangxi said as he took out the pair of jade bracelets from his arms and handed them to Wang Juan.

The white jade bracelet was warm and lustrous in the moonlight, and it looked more and more beautiful and luxurious, and it was indeed a treasure.

Unexpectedly, Wang Juan did not take the bracelet, but smiled: "I am not the only one who saved your life, why do you only thank me?" Besides, this object is too expensive to fit in. ”

Zhao Jiangxi felt that he couldn't answer when he heard this, but he heard a person behind him say in a rough voice: "Good question!" Good question! ”

But it turned out that Wang Laohan got out of the fishing boat and smiled at Zhao Jiangxi: "Young boy, since we promised to take you across the river, we have to be responsible for your life." ”

seems to be an extremely simple and ordinary sentence, but at this moment, it is like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, making Zhao Jiangxi's mood difficult to calm down for a long time.

Zhao Jiangxi remembered his past, remembered that he had fallen from a noble to the Son of Heaven and a pilgrim to a person who had fallen to the end of the world, and his heart couldn't help but be sour:

"Yes! As the king of a country, who should he be responsible for? And where should I go now? ”

"Thank you to the old man for saving his life, but it's a pity that the river still hasn't been crossed." Zhao Jiangxi clasped his fists and saluted the old fisherman.

"Don't worry, when will the young man cross the river, and when will the old man cross you." Wang Laohan said with a smile.

"Old man, you see that the moon is bright and the stars are sparse tonight, and the waves are not prosperous, why don't we take advantage of this beautiful scenery to cross the river?" Zhao Jiangxi pointed to the river.

"Okay, since the guest officer has this Yaxing, the old man will accompany him." After that, he led Zhao Jiangxi to the boat.

Before Zhao Jiangxi's front feet were on the boat, someone behind him stopped him and said, "Wait!" Wait! ”

Zhao Jiangxi turned around to look, but saw two figures appear from the night, it turned out to be Li Qian and Zhang Jin who rushed up.

I saw Li Qian panting and waving his hand again and again: "Childe, I see that the sky is dark and the wind is high, and it is better to wait until dawn to cross the river." ”

"yes, it's okay to cross the river, it's okay." Zhang Jin echoed on the side.

On a moonlit night, the whole hall looks particularly solemn and solemn.

In the west wing of the council hall, the candlelight flickered, and Wen Yinan listened to the details of the little bolt, and he could almost confirm Zhao Jiangxi's identity. He didn't expect that the emperor of the dynasty did not die in Chaoyuan as the legend in the world said, this emperor was now in Xiaoshi Village, right next to him.

What should he do? Kill Zhao Jiangxi? Zhao Jiangxi really deserves to be punished?

Or send Zhao Jiangxi to Fang Shuyun for disposal? Wen Yinan hesitated.

Xiao Zhuzi's words suddenly made Wen Yinan have a new view of Zhao Jiangxi in front of him. Obviously, Zhao Jiangxi is by no means a tyrant that people imagine, on the contrary, when Wen Yinan heard that Zhao Jiangxi generously distributed the only silver taels on his body to the street children, he actually felt a trace of pity and sympathy for this down-and-out former son of heaven.

In the end, Wen Yinan only said this sentence to the little bolt:

"Keep an eye on them, and don't let them go. Be sure to be hidden, though. Then he walked out of the council hall and disappeared into the night.

As soon as Zhao Jiangxi returned to the old mansion that night, he was greatly displeased with the actions of Li Qian and Zhang Jin, and finally Long Yan was furious: "Listen to the two of you, if you secretly follow me in the future, you will be killed!" ”

Li Qian and Zhang Jin looked at each other and were speechless.

The three of them went back to the house to rest and had nothing to do all night.

As soon as the sky was bright, I heard someone knocking on the courtyard door, Zhang Jin in the west wing got up and opened the courtyard door to see, but it was the small bolt leading Lu Fangshan to stand in front of the door, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Zhixian, why are you here early in the morning?" ”

"Alas! Where else is there a road to know the county! Lu Fangshan smiled bitterly and sighed.

It turned out that late last night, Wei Xing suddenly ran to Lu Fangshan's residence, Lu Fangshan put on his clothes and asked sleepily: "Wei Xing, what happened again?" It's so late, is there another thief? ”

"My lord, this time it's not just a matter of thieves, the rebel army is about to come to Fengyuan County!" Wei Xing hurriedly said.

"It's finally time to come! Hey! Lu Fangshan said with a deep sigh.

"And what should we do?" Wei Xing was at a loss.

"Prepare the carriage, go and inform Lu Fangyuan's family, let's go immediately, go immediately!" The road is in a hurry.

"Where?" Wei Xing asked.

"Where else can I go, Little Stone Village!" Lu Fangshan replied.

So, Lu Fangshan, Wei Xing and Lu Fangyuan's family did not delay, loaded three carriages with people and belongings, packed up, fled from Fengyuan County in the night, and finally arrived at Xiaoshi Village in the early morning.

Wen Yinan warmly received Lu Fangshan and his entourage in the village hall, and immediately arranged for Lu Fangshan and Wei Xing to temporarily go to the old house of Xiao Zhuzi's family to live with Zhao Jiangxi and others. Lu Fangyuan, Lu Shiyang, father and son went to Wang Yuzhu's house to live temporarily, Lu Shiyao and Xiaoqian went to live with Wen's mother, and Lu Fangshan's wife Yang went to Ye Tong's house to live, and made Yinliang repatriate the coachman and other others, etc., and tossed until dawn.

Coincidentally, early in the morning, an old gentleman came to the street, saw Wen Yinan's mother at a glance, and said: "You are really good-looking, how about I give you a fortune?" ”

Mother Wen was happy when she heard this, so she said, "Okay! Then the old gentleman will give me a hexagram. ”

The fortune teller said, "Look at your old and modern face, your face is full of red light, the hall is shining, and there are magpies chirping in front of the door, there must be a noble person coming to the door, and the family will be blessed." ”

As the fortune teller said, on the old locust tree in front of the Wen family, there was indeed a pair of magpies chirping non-stop early in the morning, which was different from the past.

"Your nobles are coming? What a noble man? Mother Wen asked puzzled.

"You old man just wait, as soon as the hour is over today, a noble person will come to the door." Just take a look. After the fortune teller finished speaking, he smiled and shook the hexagram and walked away.

It didn't take long for Wen Yinan, who saw that he went out before dawn, brought back two girls who were like flowers and jade, and Wen's mother thought silently in her heart: "Could it be that this is the noble person who came?" ”

These two girls are Lu Shiyao and Xiaoqian.

Listening to Wen Yinan's introduction, Wen's mother smiled and said: "Sure enough, she is a girl from a rich family, and she has a bearing." ”
