Lu Bu took Miaoling to the bottom of the mountain, and he didn't meet a single mountain bandit, but he saw a few war horses tied side by side in the mountain pass in the distance.

Afraid of causing a misunderstanding, Lu Bu asked Miaoling to leave again, and took out the silver he found from the cave.

Miao Ling had a bitter face.

"Brother Haohan, Xiao Ni knows that there is no other nunnery here, only near Chuzhou there is a Qinglian Nunnery, if Brother Hao Han insists on driving Xiao Ni away, I am afraid that Xiao Ni has not arrived in Chuzhou, has been captured by robbers on the way, I hope that Brother Hao Han will pity Xiao Ni and take me to Chuzhou together."

"We are all men, and having a woman like you along the way may be inconvenient." Although Lu Bu is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, now is not the time.

"Xiao Ni can see that the big brother is a rare good person, if the eldest brother refuses to take Xiao Ni with him, Xiao Ni is alone, only one death, how is this different from Xie Ying yesterday?" Miao Ling said, tears flashing in her eyes.

Lu Bu wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

A black shadow jumped up from the grass on the side of the road, and with a flash of cold light, a simple knife slashed towards Lu Bu's back.

Miao Ling let out an exclamation.

The cold blade was less than half a foot away from Lu Bu's back, Lu Bu's body shook, one arm was lightly relaxed, and the big hand with rough skin followed the Pu knife and pressed on the back of the knife.

"Sneak attack Benhou, look for death!" Lu Bu thought it was a bandit who had escaped from the mountain, so he pushed forward with one palm against the back of the knife and slapped it on the man's chest.

The man was very neat.

When Lu Bu's palm was about to hit his chest, he hurriedly stepped back, but the Pu knife in his hand couldn't hold it and fell to the ground.

Lu Bu rushed over and was about to make another move, but he only heard someone behind him shouting, "Brother Tang, stop." ”

Lu Bu turned around.

"Brother Qi Xian, when will you be here?"

Qi Shun strode over.

"Brother Tang only cared about fighting on the mountain, completely forgetting the brothers under the mountain. The younger brother hurried away in the starry night, and only then did he rush back with the three people assigned by the master of Chuzhou Mansion. was discussing going up the mountain to find Brother Tang, but he didn't want Brother Tang to come down the mountain, and Brother Fang Cai didn't know Brother Tang, so he caused a misunderstanding. ”

Lu Bu was relieved.

What Qi Shun said is also true.

The prefect of Chuzhou is named Fei She, a distant nephew of Fei Yong, who is actually only four or five years younger than Fei Yong, but his greed is greater than Fei Yong.

Because of the relationship between Fei Yong and Fei Caihe, he can be described as an emperor-like existence in Chuzhou.

Due to the reason of emphasizing literature over military force, the county commanders and Futai in the Northern Song Dynasty also served as the local military superintendents, holding military power, and their power was even greater than that of the officials in the capital.

This time, the reason why Fei Yong dared to secretly leave the purple gold pot was largely due to Fei She's bewitchment. If it weren't for that, Fei Yong wouldn't have sent this treasure pot here.

Qi Shun ran all the way to find Fei She.

Fei Shezi knew that the matter was very important, so he hurriedly sent his three most trusted catchers to follow Qi Shun, claiming that he would immediately mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress the cottage.

"I see." Lu Bu nodded and called Qi Shun aside.

"Brother Tang is really good." Grabbing the wooden box, Qi Shun's eyes shot out two strange cold lights, and suddenly his face turned pale, and he said, "Brother Tang, have you ever opened this box?" ”

"Brother Fool only knows that this time to escort the property to Chuzhou, as long as the things in this box are still intact, it is a wonderful thing, and what is in it has nothing to do with me." Lu Bu said.

Qi Shun swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Brother Tang is extremely smart, as long as the things in this box are still there, you and I can return to Beijing safely to restore our lives."

"It's just a pity for those belongings." Lu Bu said.

Qi Shun waved his hand.

He knew that although the contents of the other boxes were valuable, they were not as good as the tip of this purple gold pot, and they were nothing to Fei Yong.

After saying a few words to Lu Bu, Qi Shun walked up to Miao Ling and waved his hand and shook his mouth.

"Since you are a monk, you have done such a dirty thing, and when you go to the Chuzhou Mansion, you will see how the Lord of the Mansion will deal with you."

Miao Ling's cheeks bulged out on one side of the beating, and she covered her little face and hid behind Lu Bu.

"Brother Qi Xian will blame her again, if it weren't for the help of Master Miaoling this time, it would be difficult for the foolish brother to find the treasure." Lu Bu pushed Qi Shun's hand away, "I want to take her to Chuzhou and place it properly in the nunnery, which can be regarded as giving her a chance to make amends." ”

"Brother Tang is such a woman's kindness, how can it be of great use?" Qi Shun still didn't give up, but a pair of eyes wandered around Miaoling's face for a long time.

Chuzhou was already a very prosperous city in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although it is not as rich as Bianjing City, it is located in Anhui Province, not far from the capital, and many businesses in the capital also have merchants here, so it has driven the development of this place accordingly.

Being able to sit here for a term of governorship shows the influence of the Fei family at that time.

When Lu Bu and the others came to the prefect's yamen, it was already noon the next day.

Fei Shi did not meet Qi Shun and Lu Bu in the lobby, but ordered someone to take the two to the back courtyard.

This is a vacant lot, connecting the hall of the government and the house at the back, with some flowers and plants planted in the middle, and several pavilions are built.

Fei Shi sat at the bottom of one of the pavilions, surrounded by two personal guards and a maid with a teapot in her hand.

Qi Shun and Lu Bu walked over under the leadership of a catcher.

"The villain Qi Shun took Tang Lubu and others, and escorted the treasure here on the order of my uncle, and now it has been completed, and this object is hereby presented to the prefect, please also inspect it in person, and the villain can return to Beijing to restore his life." Qi Shun hunched his waist, lifted the wooden box in his arms high, and said.

"General Qi has worked hard all the way, although there have been twists and turns, but fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission, and the government will definitely reward him heavily." Fei Shi said, motioning for the guards behind him to bring the wooden box.

On top of the wooden box is the key.

Fei Shi was in no hurry to open it.

"General Qi, do you know what this thing is?"

Qi Shun was stunned.

This purple gold pot is only known to himself and He Zhutou, He Zhutou is now dead, he came this time, he is also quite worried, hearing Fei Shi ask, his eyes rolled, so he replied, "The villain only knows that this thing is a treasure handed down by the prefect, and Uncle Guo also told the villain to take care of it, and the villain really didn't dare to open it privately." ”

"That's good." Fei Shi laughed, "General Qi is worthy of being the most trusted person of my uncle, and his mouth is also very well-behaved. Since I came to Chuzhou, I simply stayed for a few more days, and after discussing with my uncle in this house, I would set a return date. ”

Qi Shun didn't expect this Fei Shi to make such an arrangement, so he thought about it.

"The villain is anxious to return to Beijing to restore his life, and I ask the prefect to forgive me."

Fei She's face sank.

"This matter will be written by hand to my uncle, General Qi just has to rest assured."

Qi Shun didn't dare to say anything more, but in his heart, he had already scolded Fei She's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"That being the case, the villain thanked the prefect on behalf of all the brothers."

"That's fine, let's go down and rest first, if there is anything, this government will call you to come." Fei Shi stood up as he spoke, and without waiting for Qi Shun to say anything more, he had already walked to the back room.

Lu Bu, who was standing beside Qi Shun, was about to say something, but Qi Shun pulled the corner of his clothes, so he had to swallow the words back.
