Shao Xi and the others left Qingshan City early in the morning and headed for Wanxian, and according to the normal pace in the past, they could reach Wanxian before dark.

However, to Shao Xi's surprise, the camels that the shopkeeper of Qingshan Chengtaihe Commercial Bank picked for him were obviously good at the foot, and the speed of the journey was no slower than that of riding a horse.

It's just that encountering passers-by along the way will always attract attention, after all, there are not too many people riding camels around in this Central Plains boundary.

Moreover, the direction traveled by several people is not the only way to the Western Regions, which will inevitably arouse curiosity.

Several people from the Central Plains did not go in the direction of the Western Regions, but they all rode tall camels and led a horse, which made people feel a little awkward no matter how they looked at it.

In particular, Wu Qiu'er's figure riding on a camel, although it looks better than riding a horse, there is always a feeling of animal cruelty.

In fact, the camel that Wu Qiuer rode was specially selected for him to be strong and tall, and ordinary camels could not carry his weight.

Facing the strange glances of people along the way, Shao Xi and the others felt that it didn't matter, but they were quite comfortable sitting on the camel leisurely.

Halfway through, Lao Wu suddenly opened his mouth and asked Shao Xi: "It's been a year since I left Wanxian, do you think Zhang Chong's stinky boy is now holding his son?" ”

Shao Xi touched his chin and said with a wicked smile: "This depends on himself, you ask me, how do I know?" We've only been away for over a year, so I don't think much has changed.

"Now Zhang Chong is on an errand under the hands of Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu, two stinky boys, it is estimated that they smell like each other, and it is not possible to say how many people eat, drink and have fun outside every day."

Lao Wu smiled when he heard this, and seemed to remember the scene when he chased Han Song in the middle of the night, and he and Shao Xi came back in disgrace, while Zhang Chong and them were as tired as dogs.

It's just that the battle in Zhang Chong's courtyard made him lose many brothers who worked in the county government, and this kid was sad for a while.

Although only a short year has passed, it makes Lao Wu miss him very much, although this kid is a little simple-minded, but he is honest and straightforward, and he is a person worthy of being a friend.

Several people chatted while walking, and they did not stop to rest along the way, and finally came to the county seat of Wanxian County when it was nearly dusk.

Although Wanxian County does not seem to have changed much, it is much more lively, there are no bandits here, and the city gates are no longer closed as early as they were at the beginning, and shops do not have to close before dark.

Nowadays, the sound of vendors can be heard in the streets and alleys of Wanxian County, and women and children no longer go home early and close their doors, and shops and inns are open as usual, sweeping away the depression of the year.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shao Xi inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment, it was the year ago that he and Lao Wu saw through and captured Han Song, who was a fake county order, that changed the situation of bandits in Wanxian County.

Now that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, a peaceful atmosphere is what Shao Xi wants to see the most.

A few people rode camels on the street, and immediately became the most eye-catching target, and the people along the way couldn't help but stop and watch, probably wondering what these people were doing? Why did you ride a camel to their Wan County?

Shao Xi not only did not feel embarrassed by the strange eyes cast by passers-by, but smiled and waved to them, the people here were simple, and many people even waved to him in response.

Several people came to the county yamen, and the officials guarding the gate saw such a few strange people, so they stepped forward and stopped them.

One of the officials arched his hand at the four of them and asked, "A few of them don't seem to be locals, I don't know what they are doing when they come to the county government at this time?" The county magistrate and the county lord are not in the county government at this time, so if there is anything to do, let's come back tomorrow! ”

Shao Xi hurriedly asked, "So Zhang Chong, is Zhang Zhutou here?" ”

The official shook his head and replied to Shao Xi: "Zhang Zhutou left with the two adults, as for where he went and what he did, I don't know. ”

When Lao Wu heard this, he said to Shao Xi with a smile: "It seems that you guessed correctly, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu, the two stinky boys, may really go out with Zhang Chong to fool around." ”

Shao Xi was also happy when he heard it, but at this time, the two officials heard them say this but stopped doing it.

"Who are you? is so bold and dares to call the county lord and the county lord by name, is there any rule?

"The county magistrate and the county lord are deeply loved by the people in our Wanxian County, they are the Qingtian lord of our Wanxian County, and Zhang Tou is our eldest brother, what kind of crime should you be guilty of saying that they are going to fool around?"

Shao Xi and Lao Wu were stunned for a moment when they heard the words of the officer, and after glancing at each other, they laughed even harder.

It seems that these three stinky boys are now mixing well in Wanxian, and they have actually become the Qingtian lord loved by the people!

Shao Xi said to the official in front of him: "Since your Qingtian Lord is not in the prefecture and county government, then we won't bother."

"When Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu came back, remember to tell them that their classmate and friend Shao Xi in Kyoto is now living in the Bafang Inn in the city, and asked them to come to me."

When the two officials heard that the person who came turned out to be the county magistrate and the county prince's classmates and friends in Kyoto, their attitudes immediately changed.

Hurriedly bowed to Shao Xi and said: "The villain doesn't know that you are friends of the county magistrate and the county lord, please forgive you for the offense of the words, and when the adult comes back, the villain will definitely bring the words." ”

"Hmm."

After Shao Xi answered, he took Lao Wu, Fu Biao and Wu Qiu'er to the inn to stay.

Originally, they wanted to live directly in the county office, but now that they are not there, they have to settle down in the inn first.

When they arrived at the door, the innkeepers did not recognize them, but they were attracted by the camels they had brought with them.

It wasn't until Shao Xi and the others entered the lobby and sat down and beckoned the guy to order some food that the guy recognized Shao Xi and Lao Wu.

This is a terrible thing, so he turned around and ran to pull the shopkeeper over.

A year ago, the Bafang Inn knew that the identities of these two people were terrible, and it was even more clear that the fake county order Han Song was folded in the hands of the two of them, and he was also the benefactor of Wanxian County, and this warm hospitality was naturally indispensable.

Shao Xi jokingly asked the shopkeeper, "How has it been this year?" You don't need to write a detailed record of your stay, do you? ”

The shopkeeper had a smile on his face and replied attentively: "No, no, of course not!" At the beginning, it was all up to the two adults, but now that the bandits in these ten thousand counties have been eliminated, and the curfew naturally does not exist, where do you need to write any details?

"Now the people of our ten thousand counties are happy, and the county commanders love the people like sons, which is very different from before!"

Shao Xi remembered that he had met Zhang Chong in this Bafang Inn, so he casually asked the shopkeeper, "I don't know how Zhang Zhutou is doing now?" Just now we went to the county office, and your Han County Commander and Zhang Zhutou are not there, but what is the big deal in your Wanxian County recently? At this time, they have to go out on business. ”

When the shopkeeper heard Shao Xi's question, he couldn't help but be happy, and replied with a smile: "Where is there any business trip?" It's just that the two adults of the county order and the county are all good drinkers like Zhang Zhutou, and they will run out to drink every day when they have nothing to do. ”

"Oh? You, Lord Han, take the county and Zhang Zhutou out to drink every day, aren't you afraid of delaying your business? ”

The shopkeeper also smiled when he heard it.

"Lord Han and Lord Zheng are not pleasure-seeking people, they have already handled government affairs properly every day, and the affairs of the people have never been delayed in their affairs.

"Because of the good governance of the two adults, there is nothing to do in this ten thousand counties now, and the people in the county are also happy to see the two adults come out every day to have fun with the people."

When Lao Wu heard this, he said to Shao Xi with some surprise: "Yo! It looks like these two stinky boys are doing a good job in this Wanxian County now! I can't imagine that I am so loved by the people, and I can go out to drink and have fun and become happy with the people, which seems to be deeply popular with the people! ”

The shopkeeper knew that Shao Xi and Lao Wu were big officials in the capital, but when he heard Lao Wu call Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu stinky boys, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

So he cautiously asked, "Do the two adults know our county commander and county lord?" ”

Shao Xi nodded and replied: "Yes, we were all classmates and friends of Egret Academy when we were in Daliang, Kyoto, and we came to visit him this time, and we didn't want to eat at the gate of the county government." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "I see, then I suggest that the adults can go to the Wanfu Restaurant in our city to have a look, the two adults and Zhang Zhutou often drink in that restaurant, maybe they can be found there." ”

It's good for Shao Xi to think about it, now that he has come to Wanxian, he just happened to go out for a walk, even if he couldn't find Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu.

So he hastily ate a few bites with Lao Wu and the others, left some things that were not necessary to carry with them in the upstairs room, and a few people left the Bafang Inn and wandered around the streets of Wanxian.

Along the way, I inquired about the location of Wanfu Restaurant, and several people walked towards Wanfu Restaurant without hurrying.

Today's Wanxian County is much more lively than it was at the beginning, and it is also the time of the lantern, and the business of all walks of life in the city seems to be more prosperous than during the day.

Now the people can go out to the streets at night, and after a day's work, they naturally take advantage of this time to come out to find some pastime.

Shao Xi and the others walked leisurely and leisurely, and unconsciously came to the door of Wanfu Restaurant.

Just about to enter the restaurant, I saw two familiar figures at a glance, these two are two women, one looks dignified and stable, and the other looks smart and well-behaved.

Isn't this Zhao Qiaoyun and Pomegranate who were rescued by himself and Lao Wu from Han Song?
