"What is the queen of the palace? Damn!"

Shadow Snow couldn't help but sneer as she listened to the movement in the carriage.

"Yo, Qi Niang, it was a few days ago, do you still remember today?" She couldn't help but quip.

They entered Hanguguan in the west, passed through Xin'an, Huangchi and Jiaocheng, and traveled all the way west for five days, and now they have also passed Hongnong County, and there are still nearly 100 miles away from Tongguan.

Lu Zhaoyi ignored her, but walked out of the carriage and lifted the curtain.

As soon as she stepped out of a gap, she was stopped by Ying Xue, "Qi Niang, you can't come out, it's windy outside, and your body is weak."

"Don't get in the way, after a few days of continuous travel, you should be tired, let everyone stop in place for two hours to rest!"

When Ying Xue heard this, she immediately let go.

That's when she poked her head out.

Although this shadow snow agreed with her words, and also conveyed it to the other shadow guards, everyone stopped, but they still looked unhappy, which made Lu Zhaoyi shake his head.

"What's wrong? A sad face."

"Qi Niang, if not, you should go into the carriage to rest, it's so cold outside, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold." Shadow Snow persuaded.

"It's out of the way, I can still carry it." Lu Zhaoyi smiled toothlessly, and turned to speak at her, "It's inconvenient to stay in the county town for a long time, you order a few people to go back to the county town to find Hongnong Taishou to see me."

"This ......" Shadow Xue hesitated, but nodded anyway, "Then the subordinate will do it immediately."

"Well, thank you." She smiled softly.

When she was far away, outside the carriage, there were shadow guards talking to each other, and it didn't take long to see one of them, walking slowly over with a shawl.

"Sir, it's windy outside, so you put on this cloak first." The shadow guard handed it over respectfully.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled slightly, took the shawl, and was about to put it on herself, when a cold wind blew, which immediately made her sneeze.

After waiting on the spot for more than an hour, there was a sound of horses stomping behind her, and she just felt a little warm, and when she turned to look over, she saw a group of cavalry galloping in her direction.

Among them, Ying Xue's figure is extremely recognizable, and the middle-aged and sturdy man who also rode a horse next to her is Hongnong County's Taishou Yangcheng.

That Yang Cheng is also after the Hongnong Yang family, since four years ago, Yang Wenxu joined the Tianxia League, and the Yang family, under his leadership, most of them have also joined, and at the same time, in Hongnong City, a branch of Zuoqin Hall was established.

Naturally, this Yang Cheng became the head of the branch hall, and was directly dispatched by Yang Wenxu, the deputy hall master of Zuoqin Hall.

Yang Cheng saw Lu Zhaoyi's figure at a glance, came to the front, immediately turned over and dismounted, walked quickly to her, and bent over.

"Lu Niangzi passed through Hongnong, but her subordinates didn't know at all that they were really ashamed of the cultivation of the brothers in the alliance, and Yangcheng was wrong."

But I saw that this Hongnong was too guarded by Yangcheng, with a strong figure, his face was covered with a beard, and the whole person was like a rough tree, exuding awe-inspiring righteousness all over his body, and he was a righteous and awe-inspiring person at first glance.

She also smiled back.

"Qi Niang was demoted to Jingzhao Shangluo by His Majesty, and will be appointed as the county lieutenant, and Yang Tai Shougui is the head of a county, so he shouldn't be so polite......

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were immersed, and he suddenly bowed to this person.

"Lu Niangzi doesn't have to be like this, Cheng has joined the World Alliance, so she must follow the rules of the Alliance. Previously, Lu Niangzi's matter, the clan brother Wen Xu had written to inform me. If you have any commands, please do not hesitate to teach them."

Lu Zhaoyi hurriedly said: "Yang Taishou is serious, when I met Taishou today, I wanted to ask you a few things, and I asked Taishou to answer."

It was about Yongzhou, he had already written a note and submitted it to Luo Jing, and Xia Peiding also knew about it, but she Lu Zhaoyi was in the Hou Mansion, and this note had not been taken out to discuss with other courtiers, so he didn't know the specific content he wrote.

Immediately, Yang Cheng dictated again what he had written at that time.

Since a few months ago, the original Henan Yin Xu Lu was "flattened" by Xia Pei to Jingzhao Yin, and then demoted to Jingzhao County Taishou, and the situation in Jingzhao has quietly changed.

Xu Lu this person, for

People are strong, good at fighting and brave, and they have done a lot of foolish things, but they are not stupid and stupid, but even so, it is difficult to confront the Guanzhong clans openly and darkly.

Until the last early dynasty, because of the strategy offered by "Gou Chenzi", all the actions of the entire eight counties of Yongzhou were under the nose of Xia Pei, who was in Luojing.

It's just that this strategy has only been implemented for a month, and it is still not easy to work, not to mention that Chang'an and Luojing are hundreds of miles apart, and it is not easy for Xia Pei of Luojing to receive news from all parties in Yongzhou for a while.

"Alright, I got it!" Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi's face was serious, "Tongguan is now under the jurisdiction of your Hongnong County, can you send someone to garrison Tongguan and respond to me in the future?"

But he saw that Yang Cheng didn't seem to hear it, and asked in turn, "Speaking of Tongguan, in the Taihua Mountain, I found a mountain road, and it only takes one day to walk to enter a cave, and it only takes three days to pass through the cave, you can cross the Qinling Mountains and arrive at Luoshang!"

"Oh? Such a thing!" When Lu Zhaoyi heard this, his spirits immediately perked up, "In this case, I will wait for our party to arrive in Shangluo County soon!"

"Yes! Due to the withdrawal of Shangluo County and the right to split the land jurisdiction with Jingzhao County, we and others have already sent people to investigate on the spot, and it has been confirmed that it is correct, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong, I will also send someone to escort Lu Niangzi over."

"In that case, then it would be too much of a suffrage for Yang!" She smiled and agreed, but she secretly thought in her heart, if this was the case, it would be great, but I was afraid that it would be a trap.

Of course, before starting again, two or three people in the Shadow Guard team had quietly disappeared into the team.

As a taishou, Yang Cheng should rush back to the county town to deal with important matters, so he sent two Yang family members as road guides to re-enter the road with them and go in the direction of Tongguan.

Along the way, Lu Zhaoyi was not in the mood to see the scenery, he just wanted to reach Tongguan faster.

It's just that she faintly feels that there is something wrong with writing in her heart, but she can let her say it, but she can't tell what is wrong.

The group spent two days and two nights before finally arriving at Tongguan.

During this period, she also got acquainted with the two Yang family members, both of whom were not very old children and nephews, one was called Yang Xian and the other was called Yang Ben.

This made Lu Zhaoyi feel that it was not normal, not only for the sake of Lu Lu, should send some experienced and skilled veterans to lead the team, and what can Yangcheng send these two young people?

At this moment, outside Tongguan, they had just hurried to the footsteps when they heard a commotion under Tongguan.

I saw that the crowd near and far was full of people, including officials, wealthy merchants, and even soldiers, who kept scolding the guards on the city tower at the bottom of this pass.

They are all in the posture of asking for guilt, and Lu Zhaoyi lifted the curtain and looked at that place, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the purpose of the Tongguan soldiers was not to let anyone into Yongzhou, or that those people in Yongzhou were afraid of someone.

Her eyes flickered, and then she instructed Ying Xue, who was close, "Let's not rush into Tongguan first, let's go find a post shop and stay for a day first, and we will find out the situation here."

Shadow Snow answered "yes", and ordered everyone to rest in place, and found a few inns along the way, all of which were full.

Only the post house that was a little farther away from the city, and the empty room, Lu Zhaoyi and Ying Xue lived in it, and as for the accompanying team, they were stationed in the guard camp, and they were reluctant to leave and protected at any time.

Lu Zhaoyi did not rest, but in the post house, he personally studied ink and pen, wrote two letters, left one behind, and handed it to Yingxue to send to Luojing.

As for the second letter, it was to ask the two brothers, Yang Xian and Yang Ben, to send it back to Yang Cheng in Hongnong County, and instructed him to come up with a way to bypass Tongguan and enter Yongzhou.

For others, it's impossible to get in without passing the gates.

But for Lu Zhaoyi, it is the only way for her at the moment. z.br>

"Qi Niang is not worried, even if she uses other methods to enter Yongzhou, she will not be able to resist the counterattack of the Guanzhong clan?" Shadow Snow asked.

In the current situation, even Xu Lu, who is the Taishou of Jingzhao County, can't perform his duties when he comes to Guanzhong

What a strategy, let alone others.

Since Jingzhao withdrew Yin County, Tongguan has been under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County, and what she has seen and heard today is still under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao County, which has to make her vigilant.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled lightly, "Let's take a break for a day, and tomorrow morning, you let Yang Xian and Yang Ben brothers come to me."

It's not that Ying Xue doesn't understand what she means, but since she said so, she didn't ask too much, so she retreated and instructed the guys at the inn to prepare dinner and meals.

After dinner, it was already dark, and Shadow Snow was ordered, changed her clothes, and quietly lurked on the roof of the post house, looking into the distance.

Tongguan, is a very majestic gate on the side of the Wei River, about five zhang high, majestic and majestic, the stone masonry on the city wall, strong and abnormal, on the city tower, is also full of flags.

Coincidentally, in Tongguan, there is also a red flag, the flag is waving in the wind, hunting sounds, it seems, it is quite a bit of courage, but it is painted with blood, like a symbol dyed with blood.

And below Tongguan, there are a large number of carriages, parked there, in the vehicles, sitting or lying, all full of tiredness, a dusty appearance.

To the south of Guancheng, the mountains were blocked, and since she had already observed the terrain during the day, she only thought about it for a moment, and then she saw the fire on the top of the mountain, flickering slightly.

After carefully observing the surrounding situation, Ying Xue secretly turned over and went back to the guest room to talk to Lu Zhaoyi about what she had seen.

After listening to the report, she was silent for a while, "Sure enough, there are people guarding the mountain, and if you want to climb the mountain and enter the pass, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"Yes, the walls of this fortress are extremely thick, and they are much higher than the walls of other cities, and if you break through it, you will definitely die."

Ying Xue nodded, and continued: "Fang Cai's subordinates observed, at the moment, there is only a fire in Tongguan City, and there is no defense, if you can take advantage of the chaos to kill Tongguan, it will be very easy."

"They're not wrong! Don't be so careless about human life. I'll think again."

Hearing her proposal, Lu Zhaoyi immediately vetoed it, then frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head to look out the window, "You better send someone to inquire first to see if there are any suspicious people."

In this way, Shadow Snow had no choice but to obey her orders, and that night, she quietly slipped out of the post house with several shadow guards.
