Suddenly, a checkpoint was set up not far away. A team of officers and soldiers stood here, checking on the passers-by. A general officer with a knife stopped Wang Shuqiu and his party. Cui Wuyuan hurriedly dismounted, hugged his fists and said: "Please be accommodating, and hurry into Yangzhou City." The general looked at Cui Wuyuan and his gang, and saw that they were all arrogant, and they were by no means ordinary people. The tone of his voice softened slightly, and he said: "Recently, some bandits have appeared near Yangzhou, burning, killing and looting everywhere. A large team of men and horses has been transferred from above to encircle and suppress, so checkpoints have been set up here to check suspicious people. ”

Cui Wuyuan nodded and said, "General, rest assured, we are good people." The general said, "No matter what, it is still necessary to conduct a routine inspection." Brother Wangtai is inclusive. Cui Wuyuan was afraid of alarming Wang Shuqiu, so he patted the general on the shoulder and said, "The general is talking here." The general followed Cui Wuyuan to the side.

Cui Wuyuan took off a wooden seal from his waist and shook it at the general. How could the general not know the Jinyi Weiyin, his face was much more pleasant, and he smiled busily: "It turned out to be an adult!" With a wave of his hand, he said, "Release!" Cui Wuyuan hugged his fists and said, "Please!" The general didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "How dare you!" How dare you! ”

After passing the checkpoint, you have to climb over two mountains to see Yangzhou City. In fact, it was still early, and everyone was about to reach their destination, so they walked faster than usual and rushed into the city to have a good rest.

Turning over a mountain, I saw a lush area, but there were few people. Cui Wuyuan rode a horse and muttered: "I heard that Yangzhou is the famous capital of the world, but why is the surrounding area so desolate." Could it be that there really be a bandit? But you have to play 12 points of spirit. He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, be vigilant!" As soon as the words fell, an old woman's scream came, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

I saw a person lying on the ground not far away, and several Ti got off their horses and galloped.

"Be careful!" As soon as Shen Xiluo's words fell, the person lying on the ground suddenly slammed a 'carp slammed', and after a burst of white ash, several Ti Riders had already fallen to the ground.

It turned out to be an old woman with white flowers, although she was quite old, her movements were crisp and neat, no less than that of a young man. Shen Xiluo flew towards the old woman, like a goshawk. Before he could react, his right palm had already slapped on the old woman's heavenly spirit cover. How could the old woman get Shen Xiluo's palm and die instantly.

Shen Xiluo said sharply: "The rats dare to be rude, hurry up and get out of the fun!" In an instant, dozens of people surrounded him from all sides, all dressed in short clothes, armed with weapons. Cui Wuyuan and the remaining horsemen dismounted one after another to protect the carriage in which Wang Shuqiu was sitting. Peng Xuan didn't know where to find a wooden stick to protect himself.

Shen Xiluo said coldly: "Who is the head?" Come out and speak! I saw a man of medium stature, thirty miles away, pacing over, and said, "I'm short of money, I want to borrow your silver!" ”

Shen Xiluo pointed to the corpses of several brocade guards lying on the ground, and said sharply: "Then don't kill people!" But you are the most wicked and unforgivable! The leader also pointed to the old woman's corpse and said, "Didn't Your Excellency kill our people too?" Don't talk nonsense, get the money quickly, or you won't keep a single one. Shen Xiluo sneered: "It's up to you!" "The two sides were suddenly tense, and a big battle was about to start.

I don't know who shouted, "There are officers and soldiers!" The rabble of bandits ran away like water. Shen Xiluo took a long breath, talking about one-on-one, no one here is his opponent, but the other party is overwhelming, and he is alone on his side, and he has to protect three girls who are powerless. Fortunately, the officers and soldiers arrived in time to avoid a catastrophe.

The officers and soldiers who came to the rescue were none other than the general who had just set up a checkpoint. It turned out that the general was quite knowledgeable and sophisticated, and he was careful and flattering, and saw that the brocade guards were surrounded by a carriage. I know very well that the people in the carriage are by no means simple, they have to be guarded by dignified brocade clothes, and they are either rich or expensive.

Now that the bandits are rampant, I am afraid that this team of people will have an accident in their own territory, in case they are blamed, how many heads do they have? So he quietly sent a few officers and soldiers to follow them from afar to ensure that they entered the city safely. Who knew that they really met the bandits, and those officers and soldiers hurriedly sent signal lights.

The bandits were quite familiar with the signal lights of the officers and soldiers, and knew that the officers and soldiers were already nearby, so they did not dare to confront the officers and soldiers head-on, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant. The general came galloping with his men. Hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Cui Wuyuan and said, "It's too late to be humble, and the adults are frightened, and forgive the sin." Cui Wuyuan hugged his fists and said: "The general came in time, how can he blame!" Shen Xiluo walked over and said, "What's your name?" ”

The general saw that although Shen Xiluo was dressed in green clothes and was young, he spoke sharply and sharply, like a woman, but he had an indescribable arrogance. His heart moved slightly, and he said with a smile on his face: "Humble Wang Jingfeng!" ”

Shen Xiluo said: "Seeing that you are a deputy thousand households, you have made meritorious contributions today, and the court will definitely not treat you badly." Wang Jingfeng was shocked when he heard it. This inconspicuous young man could see his official position at a glance, and he was not ashamed to be promoted. This person may be from the capital. After thinking about it carefully, I looked at his figure and listened to his voice, and suddenly realized that this person must be a eunuch in the palace.

Then the people in the carriage must be relatives of the emperor. Thinking of this, Wang Lingfeng was like a big silver treasure falling from the sky, and he knelt down and said, "Gonggong Xie is promoted!" ”

Although Shen Xiluo said that he held the power of Yangzhou City Guard, after all, he was too far away from the capital, and he was not familiar with the place, and people who did not know Yangzhou officialdom might find it difficult to gain a foothold in Yangzhou. Think about it, there is a deputy thousand households from the fifth grade who are obedient to themselves, and they can be unimpeded in the city.

Shen Xiluo picked up Wang Yufeng with both hands and said, "The general is meritorious, but the miscellaneous family doesn't know!" After returning to Beijing, he must say good things in front of the emperor, and the general's future is bright! Obviously, it was to make him feel grateful to himself.

Sure enough, Wang Jingfeng expressed his loyalty, and felt a great honor for the arrival of Shen Xiluo and his entourage. thinks that God arranged for the nobles to meet him, which made him have a bright future.

The curtain of the car opened, Zizhu poked her head out, and said, "The master is unwell, hurry up into the city to see the doctor." Wang Qifeng hurriedly said: "The famous doctors in Yangzhou City are lowly and skilled. Shen Xiluo smiled: "There is General Lao!" Wang Qifeng said with a smile: "How dare you! How dare you! Wang Qifeng left a few soldiers to bury a few corpses, and led the carriage and horse into Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou is worthy of being an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is really full of flowers. It's not that Wang Shuqiu is unwell, everyone will definitely appreciate it slowly.

Wang Yufeng led a group of people to his mansion to settle down. Shen Xiluo did not refuse. First, it was Wang Jingfeng's kindness, and secondly, I didn't know where Han Benyong's ancestral property was and how the house was. He instructed Zizhu and Cui Wuyuan to go and find Han Benyong's ancestral property.

Wang Jingfeng has invited a famous doctor from Yangzhou to enter the inner hall to see Wang Shuqiu. I saw that she was holding her stomach and moaning, her face was pale, and beads of sweat were on her forehead. Zizhu and Yang Tear wiped her sweat on the side.

The doctor came in slowly, looked at Wang Shuqiu's face, and said, "Can you take the pulse for Miss?" Zizhu didn't put down the curtain in order to relieve the master's pain.

The doctor frowned while taking the pulse, and said, "Miss's letter date hasn't come yet, right?" Zizhu replied on the side: "But no, I haven't been here for more than a month?" The doctor said, "Miss is weak in blood and qi, there must be other diseases." Zizhu whispered to the doctor: "Our master has been traumatized in his lower body, I don't know if this is the reason?"

The doctor nodded, "That's it." It seems that the blood is condensed inside, and it is difficult to descend. I might as well prescribe a prescription for meridian blood, as well as external medicine for wounds. After a day, the bruises must be drained. Zizhu hurriedly said: "Thank you, doctor!" ”

Wang Shuqiu took the medicine, and sure enough, the pain in the lower abdomen was no longer there, and the menstrual blood was smooth. It's just that the trauma will take time.

Shen Xiluo found Han Benyong's ancestral property. The house is very large, and it is a big house facing the street, and it is also the center of the most prosperous street in Yangzhou City. In front is a building, and in the back is a large mansion. Shen Xiluo already had a plan in his heart, to open a big restaurant in the front building, and use the big mansion in the back as a residence, so that it would not attract attention, at best, it was just a rich family in Yangzhou, and there were many rich people in the city who would care.

Shen Xiluo told Wang Shuqiu about this idea. Wang Shuqiu did not object. Anyway, everything doesn't matter to her, she just has to get by.

It was a sunny day and warm outside. Wang Shuqiu wanted to go out for a walk. Just in case, Cui Wuyuan was on guard. Peng Xuan also swaggered along. Zizhu sneered: "You also want to join in the fun?" Peng Xuan shook his head and said, "If you come, you will be safe." The beautiful scenery of Yangzhou is like clouds, and if you don't go out for a walk, you won't live up to this good time. ”

Zizhu said: "You can enjoy it alone!" Peng Xuan said: "It's better to be happy alone, than to be happy with everyone!" Zizhu chirped: "I don't know what I'm talking about, I'll ignore you." Peng Xuan laughed.

"Borrowed, borrowed!" A delicate voice came from behind Peng Xuan. Hearing this, Peng Xuan hurriedly got out of the way, but still collided with the man. The man bumped into Peng Xuan and walked straight forward without looking back. Peng Xuan said angrily: "Where did the wild girl come from, how can she be so rude!" The girl who was called a 'wild girl' by Peng Xuan stopped and looked back angrily. I saw that she had bangs, she was not very old, delicate and tender in a pale yellow skirt.

Peng Xuan shouted: "Look at what! I don't apologize yet. "I didn't know that there was a maid behind me. I saw her holding a double snail bun and wearing a light green skirt, and she seemed to be younger. The little maid ran to Peng Xuan, pointed to his nose, and said coquettishly: "Dare to be arrogant to our Miss Jiang, quickly apologize." ”

Peng Xuan was humiliated by a little maid pointing at her nose, and her face turned red, but because she was a little girl, she would have wanted to beat her up a long time ago.

"You deserve it!" Zizhu clapped her hands and giggled, as if Peng Xuan deserved to be punished. Peng Xuan's face turned from red to blue, as if he was about to be angry. Cui Wuyuan walked over with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Peng is a man's husband, why bother to meet a little woman." The little girl had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and retorted: "What about the man's husband? It's not as good as me as a little woman, I don't think the two are big men, they are small men. How can you be called a man's husband if you are so small, you are not ashamed, I am ashamed of you! ”

The two big men were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time. The little maid said: "Don't apologize quickly, otherwise my eldest lady will be angry and will be a million corpses." Cui Wuyuan and Peng Xuan couldn't help but glance at each other, is it so exaggerated? What is a little woman capable of?

The girl with bangs finally spoke: "Miss Ben, I think you must be from out of town. Who dares to offend me, Jiang Kexin will never have good fruit to eat. Bihe, just find a thug and teach them a good lesson. lest the eyes of dogs look down on men. He pointed to Wang Shuqiu and the three girls and said, "Since they are in a group, I will also give a few slaps by the way to set an example." ”

Zizhu was angry when she heard this, and said loudly: "We didn't offend you!" Jiang Kexin curled his lips and said, "Dare to reply, wait a few more times to reward you." Bihe said: "You are in a big disaster, hurry up and kneel down and beg for mercy There is still a chance of life." ”

Cui Wuyuan and Peng Xuan both wanted to see how capable those two yellow-haired little girls were. Just ignore it. Bihe shook his head and sighed, "Alas! If you insist on jumping into the fire pit, why bother! ”

She pulled a cannonball out of her sleeve and lit it with flint, only to hear "Whoosh! "With a bang, it soared into the sky." Bang", scattered in mid-air.

Soon, a large number of beggars, young and old, rushed from all corners of the streets.
