The next day, Zhou Qi had breakfast and was about to embark on the journey to Xiju.

Originally, he wanted to go on horseback alone, but the distance was far away, and he would really be tired if he drove the horse alone, so he finally chose to take Da Liu and Zhu Fang with them, and the three of them took turns to drive a carriage.

Xiju is located in the westernmost part of Qizhou, and it needs to pass through five county towns to reach the critical point, and there are two small villages to reach the Xiju Imperial City.

It's not so much a small country as a tribe, at least according to the map.

The counties and counties of the Qian Dynasty have a very large allocated land area, and the larger counties may be comparable to the second-tier cities in the world.

But if it is really changed to the present world, it will only take a day or two at most to drive on the highway, but this is ancient times, and transportation can only rely on this only means of transportation, horses......

If you go back and forth, you will have to walk for a month at the earliest.

As soon as he went out, Governor Liu had already rushed over, after all, he was looking for his son, and he was very concerned.

"Zhou man, I'm sorry for you!"

Zhou Qi bowed to him and said, "It's okay, when I find someone, I will definitely bring him back." ”

"Although the country of Xiju is small, but the sea of people is vast, does Zhou Nan have a measure in his heart?" Governor Liu asked.

Zhou Qi nodded, of course he has clues, otherwise where would he find someone?

When Liu Sichen went to Xiju, he must have taken out the piece of Xiju royal jade, and it was not too difficult to find someone with his wisdom.

Seeing that he was sure, Governor Liu's heart was a lot calmer, and he suddenly pulled Zhou Qi to the side again, and said: "Empress Xiju died some time ago, and the new empress took the throne, and now Xiju should be in chaos, and Zhou Man must be careful when he goes." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Qi frowned slightly.

Since ancient times, the struggle for the rights of the change of dynasties has been quite fierce, and Xiju is afraid that it will be difficult for him to make this trip.

But since he has already responded, it is naturally impossible for him to escape from the battle, not to mention that he already has a plan in his heart, find Liu Sichen, as long as he is not dead, it is not a big problem.

"At this time, maybe go?" Zhou Qi asked.

Governor Liu nodded: "I heard that it is a secret and not obvious, and merchants who trade can still go, but if you want to enter the city, you may have to strictly check, but you only bring two people, there is no problem." ”

"Secret? So where did the Governor of Liu know? ”

"Of course it'......"

Speaking of this, Governor Liu did not continue to answer, but lowered his voice again.

"On this trip, the seventh princess of my dynasty will also go to Xiju in the name of a merchant, you may meet her on the way, don't have too much contact with her, don't be implicated in the royal family of Xiju......"

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Qi was puzzled and had to ask: "What is the relationship between my seventh princess and Xiju?" ”

Governor Liu did not hide it, after all, he knew his son's trust in Zhou Qi.

"I am the son of heaven and the seventh princess and the mother of the same mother, that is, the deceased imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, it was originally the royal daughter of Xiju who came to marry with my country for a hundred years, otherwise do you think Xiju is such a small country, why can my pious dynasty accommodate and provide protection?"

Zhou Qi understood, nodded and said no more, and after saying goodbye to a few people in the family, he set off.

"Lang Jun, come back safely, don't forget that the child in my womb and I are waiting for you here."

"Brother Zhou......"

"Brother-in-law, have a nice trip."

Zhao Xiaoyu and Su Yue spoke at the same time, while Wu Zhitao leaned against the door and did not step forward, and Peach Blossom blinked with big eyes and couldn't see the emotion.

Seeing this, Su Ling spoke: "Lang Jun, wait for you to come back and have a round with Sister Tao'er as soon as possible, don't favor one over the other......"

Hearing this, Zhou Qi was embarrassed.

Looking in the direction of Wu Zhitao, I saw her biting her lip, which was quite playful......

Zhou Qi panicked inexplicably and left.

……

In the past eight or nine days, Zhou Qi has not met the so-called Seven Princesses, and he and Liu Zhufang have taken turns driving, and they have been walking on the official road and are relatively calm, even the bandits and robbers have never met!

According to the map of the pious dynasty, they are now on the verge of breaking down.

The further west you go, the more different the scenery here is from Qizhou.

In the current dynasty, Qizhou was a relatively developed commercial area, but it was slightly backward.

But the difference is that at the critical point, you can already see a vast grassland, there are all kinds of strange stones on the road, large and small all over the ground, colorful original ecological stones radiating in the sun, beautiful.

Under the howling wind, there is already a little chill here, but five counties away from Qizhou, Zhou Qi has already added a long jacket.

Fortunately, the guys who traveled were all relatively complete, even the carriage, he deliberately asked the craftsman workshop to make a big one before, so that he could straighten his legs, otherwise he would be disabled after a long journey! ……

At this point, they stopped.

Looking over the meadow, there is a gazebo on the side, and at the moment there is a carriage parked in front of the gazebo.

Zhou Qi recognized the carriage at a glance, isn't this the carriage of the little rich woman?

Oh no, they're princesses!

Thinking of what Governor Liu said, more things are better than less, and he didn't plan to step forward......

"Childe, we've been in a hurry for three days in a row, do you want to rest?" Da Liu asked in front.

Zhu Fang also stretched his waist slightly in the carriage, looking at his son-in-law expectantly.

"No, go further, after the city, you will go to Xiju, and then find an inn to have a good drink!"

As soon as Zhou Qi's words came out, all parties immediately hung their heads, and Da Liu was quite helpless in front of them, they set off with anticipation, and now there was no excitement, and their patience gradually disappeared......

But they are a little strange in their hearts, they have become familiar with Zhou Qi a lot in the past seven or eight days, usually when it comes to resting, their son-in-law is more active than anyone else, why is it so abnormal now?

Probably looking for someone's heart?

Or, do you want to get to Xiju quickly and see a different woman?

No matter what, they didn't know what Zhou Qi was thinking, in fact, he just didn't want to add to the trouble.

Unfortunately, it backfired......

Not long after their carriage had gone on, a fast horse came after them at a rapid pace, and stopped in front of them in a matter of minutes!

On horseback was the plainclothes guard of the Seventh Princess, who was on the horse at this time and asked loudly, "I don't know if it's a pious person?" ”

Da Liu didn't know their identities, so he responded in front: "Yes, who are you?" ”

When he heard that it was from the pious dynasty, the guard was secretly happy in his heart, and said bluntly: "We are also pious dynasty people, and we went to Xiju to trade, but the carriage was damaged here, I wonder if you are willing to help?" ”

"How can I help?"

Da Liu asked reflexively.

The guard immediately took out a few large silver tickets from his body and shouted, "Is it feasible for us to buy your carriage for five thousand taels?" ”

Da Liu didn't need to ask about his son-in-law, so he directly shook his head and refused.

"It's not about money, if we sell you the carriage, why are we going?"

After receiving a response, the guard didn't have any temper, and rushed back to the pavilion to report to the seventh princess.

Zhou Qi heard the conversation clearly inside, couldn't help laughing, and beckoned to Da Liu: "Let's go!" ”

He's really too lazy to take care of this idle matter, don't worry about not sharing the trouble, he's really not idle and panicked! Of course, if he hadn't met yesterday, he would have taken a beautiful woman on the way, this kind of thing he had often done in his previous life!

However, he has already learned the identity of the other party, and he is a difficult person to get along with, a Puxin girl.

He shrugged his shoulders and said: It's none of your business, hang high!

However, the carriage had not gone two steps, and this time the woman in mink came on horseback......
