Over there.

After Changning County disappeared from sight, the carriage traveled another five miles and came to the short pavilion five miles away.

This short pavilion is a place outside Changning County to talk about other things, but Zhao Yu considered that Zhao Yongzhuo and his wife still had to run a noodle restaurant, so they refused to say goodbye.

However, there was no one in the short pavilion at this time.

Although there are more than 100 people in Changning County this year, these people have not been delayed for so many days like Zhao Yu, and they left for Hengzhou Mansion a few days ago.

Therefore, the short pavilion is very deserted now, and there is only a tall and slightly elegant boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, waiting here.

And when the carriage drove here, it also stopped.

In the carriage, Yun An glanced at the young man waiting outside the short pavilion through the window, and then looked at Zhao Yu who was sitting in the right position in the car, and said with a bitter face:

"Young Master, don't you really want me to go? Madame told me that if I didn't go......"

Yun An didn't say any more, but his face was full of embarrassment.

Zhao Yu waved his hand:

"Don't worry, you have more important things to do, Qingshan Village will be handed over to you, when I come back, I hope to see that Qingshan Village has been completed!"

"Yes, young master! Rest assured! ”

Yun An put away his embarrassment, gritted his teeth and nodded.

Then, Yun An lifted the curtain and shouted outside:

"Wei Xiao, come here!"

"Yes! Coach! ”

The young man waiting outside the short pavilion walked quickly to the carriage and bowed to Zhao Yu in the carriage and clenched his fists:

"Subordinate Wutang Wei Xiao, I've seen the young master!"

The voice is not slow, Wei Xiao's eyes under a pair of thick eyebrows are calm, and his square face is also unwavering, and the whole person looks very calm and steady.

"No need to be polite!"

Zhao Yu looked at Wei Xiao with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.

And Yun An was Chao Wei Xiao's quick order:

"Wei Xiao, you follow the young master to Hengzhou Mansion, and along the way, you have to take care of everything about the young master and protect the young master's safety!"

"Yes! Subordinates understand! ”

Wei Xiao nodded solemnly.

Seeing this, Yun An looked at Zhao Yu again:

"Young master, take care, have a good trip!"

The voice fell, and Yun An got out of the carriage cleanly.

Wei Xiao put the luggage on the carriage, then lowered the curtain and sat in front of the carriage with the coachman.

The carriage continued northward.

Yun An stood in front of the short pavilion and watched the carriage go away.

A little bit.

"Da Da Da ......"

Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Weaver Girl and Little Green came on two short-legged southwest horses.

After arriving at the short pavilion, the Weaver Girl jumped off the horse, looked at the distant carriage with her eyes attached, and slowly walked to Yun'an's side:

"Now that the world is getting more and more chaotic, if the young master passes the government examination, he will go directly to participate in the hospital examination, you won't really let Wei Xiao protect the young master, right?"

"Of course not! I asked Fang Jin to take seven or eight of the highest martial arts guards in Tsing Yi to protect him in the dark, and also let the dark hall keep the news going all the way, if anything happens, we will know as soon as possible! ”

Yun An shook his head without looking back.

"That's good!"

The Weaver Girl was relieved.

The two fell silent, just looking at the carriage that was drifting away.

Until there was only a vague shadow left in the distant carriage, Yun An turned his head to look at the Weaver Girl, and said solemnly:

"Weaver Girl, the family thought that I left with the young master, so before the young master came back, I couldn't show up, and the family worked hard for you to take care of it!"

"Hmmm! Let's go to Qingshan Cottage! ”

The Weaver Girl nodded.

Seeing this, Yun An didn't speak again, turned over a horse, and ran in the direction of Woniu Mountain.

Behind, the Weaver Girl was still looking in the direction of the carriage, and Xiao Lu was leading another horse and standing quietly behind it.

Until a long time, until the carriage in the north disappeared for an unknown amount of time, the Weaver Girl turned around and walked slowly towards the county seat.

Behind him, Midori silently led the horse to follow.

......

On the official road in the north of Changning County, the carriage moved slowly.

Inside the carriage, the curtains of the two windows were opened, and the spring sun shone through the windows, filling the carriage with warmth.

Zhao Yu sat alone in the carriage, looking at the exam questions of the past years in the bright light.

After a while, perhaps because the carriage was too bumpy, Zhao Yu's eyes were slightly swollen and painful as he looked at the exam questions.

Taking his eyes off the exam questions, Zhao Yu rubbed his eyebrows and took a break.

However, seeing the tall back reflected outside the curtain in front of him, Zhao Yu showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, took the exam paper and patted it on his hand, and slowly spoke while making a crisp paper sound:

"Wei Xiao, come in and sit down for a while!"

"Yes, young master!"

The curtain opened, Wei Xiao's tall figure bent down into the carriage, and after bowing slightly to Zhao Yu, he sat on the side of the carriage, looking at Zhao Yu calmly, waiting for Zhao Yu to speak.

Wei Xiao knew that Zhao Yu must have something to say when he asked him to come in.

Zhao Yu looked at Wei Xiao and smiled indifferently:

"Last time in the competition, I heard that you lost to Fang Jin again and came in second?"

"Yes! Deputy Commander Fang Jin's martial arts are strong, and his subordinates are not his opponents! ”

Wei Xiao nodded, not ashamed and unwilling to be in second place, and the whole person seemed very calm.

When Zhao Yu heard this, his eyes were teasing:

"What? Your martial arts are all taught by me and Yun'an, and you are still going to hide in front of me? ”

Hearing this, Wei Xiao finally couldn't hold back, smiled bitterly, and then shook his head solemnly:

"They are all brothers who grew up together in the house, it doesn't matter who is first, the main thing is who is more suitable! Deputy Commander Fang Jin wants to command Tsing Yi Wei, and his first place can make him more authoritative and more suitable! ”

"I love to hear that!"

Zhao Yu looked at Wei Xiao full of approval, and also admired his overall view.

Immediately, Zhao Yu smiled again:

"Do you know why I brought you out this time?"

Wei Xiao shook his head and didn't speak, but his calm eyes showed doubt.

Zhao Yuwan smiled and said slowly:

"Your martial arts are not lagging behind, and military affairs are the best learned in the martial arts, even surpassing Yun'an! Over the years, you have trained other people, commanded the Tsing Yi Guard, learned intelligence in the dark hall, and learned logistics in the merchant hall, so you can say that you have learned everything you can in the house, and you have learned it very well! ”

"It is said that you will travel thousands of miles by reading thousands of books, and you will be sent to the army for training now, but we are not in the conditions to give you experience now, so I took you out this time, I want you to see more of the outside world, broaden your knowledge, and broaden your mind!"

After that, Zhao Yu looked at Wei Xiao with a smile.

When Wei Xiao heard this, he felt a sigh in his heart, and his kneeling body suddenly straightened up, and kowtowed to Zhao Yu:

"The young master saved his subordinates from danger, he has raised and cultivated his subordinates at any cost over the years, and his subordinates are unforgettable, thank you for the great grace of the young master!"

Wei Xiao's voice trembled a little, and the whole person lost his previous calmness and calmness, full of gratitude.

Looking at Wei Xiao's kneeling back, Zhao Yu frowned and said unhappily:

"Did I train you to make people kneel? Have you forgotten the rules of the house? ”

"Yes! Subordinates know their mistakes! ”

Wei Xiao was relieved again, and hurriedly got up and sat down again.

In the process of getting up, Wei Xiao's sleeves wiped the corners of his eyes indiscreetly, and the moisture in his eyes quickly converged, not wanting Zhao Yu to see anything.

However, Zhao Yu still saw the redness in Wei Xiao's eyes, and he was relieved.

Immediately, Zhao Yu didn't say more, stretched out his finger and pointed to the bookbox opposite Wei Xiao, and said with a smile:

"Don't sit outside, just read the books here for a while, in addition to the books used in the imperial examination, I also specially brought you books related to the art of war and military affairs!"

"Yes!"

Wei Xiao didn't say anything, but the redness that had just disappeared in his eyes appeared again, and he hurriedly went to get a book to cover it up.

After a while, Wei Xiao took a book of soldiers and read it against the window.

Zhao Yu saw that Wei Xiao was gradually fascinated, smiled, and then continued to look at the exam questions in his hand.

For a moment, there was silence in the carriage, save for the 'rattling' of the carriage.
