In the south of Jinling City, there is a peach forest eighty miles away, and I don't know how wide.

The post station of the official road on the edge of the forest is the only place to go north to Jinling, and it is called the official post of the chicken song.

The north-south canal passes through here, and salt, cloth, silk, and porcelain from all over the south of the Yangtze River go north from here, and it has also become a thoroughfare.

Caravans and travelers heading north will choose to stay here for one night if they can't make it to the city.

"Drink tea, good herbal tea, a big bowl!"

"Hot white-flour steamed buns, one is the size of a fist!"

"Work hard, shopkeeper, do you need to work hard for your goods? Look at my muscles, one person tops three men. ”

At this time, everyone in the Xu Mansion had already settled in the Jiming Station, and the store had set up a quiet courtyard.

Although the Xu Mansion suffered a disaster, in the eyes of these ordinary people in Jiangnan, they are still upper-class rich.

Qian Dahai, the city defense battalion of Guangling Prefecture, also handed over the responsibility of guarding each family to the government soldiers from Jinling.

This is already outside Jinling City, and they, the officers and soldiers of Guangling Mansion, cannot cross the border to escort them.

Xu Fu and the others rushed for a day, and the women and children were already suffocated. Playing happily by the peach grove outside the courtyard, chasing each other with peach blossom branches in their hands.

Xu Ji and Xu Xiang, the two old men, entered the courtyard with the support of the little maid and went to the east wing room to rest. After a day's journey, the two old men's bodies were already a little unbearable.

Under the peach tree in the front yard, Xu Fan sat at a stone table, his fingers lightly brushed the white porcelain wine glass, and he smiled, "What's wrong?" Can't hold back? ”

Bai Luohe, who was sitting on the side, looked depressed, and along the way, she dispersed two cyclone points, and the whole person looked more and more pale, sickly, and her body was also very weak.

She picked up another wine glass on the stone table, turned to her side, and gently drank the peach blossom brew in the glass.

The vitality of heaven and earth in the wine is thin, but it can be regarded as a relief for Bai Luohe's current physical condition.

Scattering a body of exercises and cutting off the cyclone points in her body made her extremely weak, which was also the reason why Bai Luohe did not continue to cut off other cyclone points.

Under the peach tree, the breeze is blowing, Bai Luohe's long hair flutters, and a white dress drags the ground. The slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, then slowly stretched again, and did not speak, just placed the empty wine glass on the stone table between the two of them.

"Still? And..."

Xu Fan untied the worn-out gourd on his waist and casually poured another cup of peach blossom brew. "However, these peach blossoms are very expensive, you will have to make money in the future, and I will not raise idlers in vain."

Bai Luohe's mouth opened slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but he just glared at Xu Fan coldly, and naturally picked up the wine glass, turned his body sideways, lifted the white veil on his face, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seriously feel the faint vitality of heaven and earth in the peach blossom brewing.

His eyes looked at the broken gourd in Xu Fan's hand again, and he was very curious, but in the end he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Fan re-tied the dilapidated gourd, looked at Bai Luohe's beautiful eyes, and said with a smile, "After arriving in Jinling, I am not familiar with all parties in Jinling, so I have to trouble you to investigate secretly." After all, this is what Yinyangmen is best at, don't you say? ”

Bai Luohedai's eyebrows furrowed again, she didn't expect Xu Fan to use her as a spy to investigate the movements of the various prefectures in Jinling. She said in a cold voice, "My current strength is not what it used to be, I'm afraid I can't do anything." ”

Bai Luohe's biggest wish now is to get rid of the control of the Yin and Yang Gate, so he is unwilling to continue to do those dark things.

Xu Fan looked Bai Luohe up and down, and slowly looked away from the other party's unhappy eyes, "Don't worry, I won't let you do dangerous things, I'm not a yin and yang sect, and I don't care about the lives of my subordinates." ”

"Who are your subordinates?" The gaze in Bai Luohe's beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold.

"It's not a subordinate, it's not a subordinate, don't be angry, white girl! We are a partnership, and as a partner, how could I watch you put yourself in a crisis? You say, don't you? Xu Fan waved his hand at Bai Luohe.

"Since you want to completely get rid of the control of the Yin and Yang Gate, the best partner at the moment is naturally me. Therefore, I still need the white girl to help me with some things. ”

"Jinling is far from being comparable to Guangling Mansion, it is the top priority of Jiangnan Province, and there are Jiangnan Provincial Government soldiers guarding it, as well as the founding mansion of five kings and ten princes such as King Nan'an. This is the last place they can afford to come to the place, the two sides stand together, each has a knife in each other's hands, and everyone will be safe. ”

Looking at the slight sneer on the corner of Xu Fan's mouth, Bai Luohe thought that he was farting when he said it.

If he didn't come here, Xu Fan wouldn't come here. He came to Jinling to take revenge, how could he care about the tacit understanding between the five kings and ten princes who founded the country?

In Jinling, the nobles of the court have become cockfighting lackeys after that, and they spend all day drinking, but the most core group of descendants will still be severely disciplined by the head of the family or the elders of the clan.

Emperor Daqian sent Qin Ruhai to take charge of Jiangnan Province and organized a government army in Jiangnan Province, which also relied on various money and efforts from Jiangnan.

But it is still slightly inferior to the soldiers of the Nan'an Wangfu who guarded Lingnan Road.

The Lingnan Duoyi tribe, the feudal soldiers have been fighting with the enemy all year round, and they have long developed a body of blood. It is not comparable to this kind of newly built government soldiers in various places.

However, in the land of Jinling, a situation was still formed in which the government soldiers took care of the descendants of the nobles in Jinling, and there were feudal soldiers guarding outside.

In Bai Luohe's narration, Xu Fan slowly learned about the situation in Jinling's prefectures.

He eventually decided to do something that could make money, and he needed to make money as soon as possible and work hard to buy alcohol.

Of course, it is also a matter of first and foremost to find all kinds of spiritual essences that contain the vitality of heaven and earth.

"We can enter Jinling City tomorrow, our Xu family still has a few properties in the city, which is enough for the livelihood of a hundred and ten people. As for the other industries, I'm going to let it go. In the future, Xufu will be poor, and I will be rich. ”

Xu Fan's fingers tapped lightly on the stone table and said slowly.

"You want to make money? Buying alcohol? Bai Luohe once again looked at Xu Fan's waist, and the curiosity in his heart surged into his heart again.

"Yes, I need a lot of money to buy wine, to buy all the wine in the world." Xu Fan gently patted the old gourd.

In the end, he still couldn't hold back, Bai Luohe said, "Your wine gourd is really magical, since you want to buy all the best wine in the world, why don't you put all those wine shops..."

Xu Fan shook his head, "I only need good wine, those wineries are useless to me, and it's too slow to make wine by myself." ”

The true solution gourd stimulates the spirit of the instrument with wine, and the longer the year, the more nourishing it can be.

If it is a freshly brewed wine, it is actually of little significance, which is why Xu Fan did not open a winery, but collected fine wine in Guangling.

Bai Luohe let out an "oh", got up and left under the peach blossom tree, and walked towards a side courtyard.

Under the pergola not far away, Zi'er, who had been standing for a long time, looked at the woman in the white dress, like the neck and slender jade hands of mutton fat and white jade, as well as the towering parts, and a touch of vinegar in her heart.

When Bai Luohe's figure disappeared outside the Xiaojiao Gate, Zi'er came to Xu Fan's side reluctantly, and pouted, "Young Master, who is the girl in the white dress?" Why haven't I seen it before? ”

As Xu Fan's personal maid, there is one more person in the accompanying convoy, and she is still a girl in the flower season, how could Zi'er not know.

"Young master, the guard I invited, isn't it amazing?" Xu Fan winked at Zi'er.

"Guards? A female escort? Zi'er raised her forehead and sighed, how could her young master let a woman be her own guard, isn't it too child's play.

"What's the matter? I see you look anxious. Xu Fan coughed lightly and diverted the topic.

Zi'er patted her forehead lightly, "By the way, young master, someone has come from the six gates of Jinling City." He said that he wanted to investigate the burning of our Xu Mansion. ”

Daqian Chao was responsible for the six doors of the anti-theft, and he recruited many masters of the rivers and lakes to work for him. Unlike Diaoyutai, the six doors are directly under the Three Divisions.

Xu Fan shook his head slightly, "Just let the clan uncle entertain them." Let's just say that my son is resting and doesn't see guests. ”

"Ahh Young Master, that's a six-door catcher, different from our Guangling Mansion's catch, if you really don't see it, will it be in Jinling City when the time comes..."

Zi'er looked anxious, and she was very worried that her young master would offend the six doors of Jinling.

Before she came to Tongyu, Master Yuhui had seriously told her not to slack off, and to invite the young master out as soon as possible.

There are still more than 100 government soldiers outside the Jiming Station, and if the arresters of the six gates of Jinling rush in, those government soldiers will not necessarily help them stop the people of the Xu Mansion.

With a shallow smile on his face, Xu Fan got up and scratched Zi'er's hair again, "Don't worry, the six doors won't embarrass us." We are victims, how can the people of the government be difficult for us? ”

"But, but..."

Zi'er looked worried, tears almost flowed out, and she really didn't know how to persuade her young master.

In Zi'er's heart, the Xu Mansion is now suffering from this great disaster, as long as the government is willing to help the Xu Mansion, they should be grateful to Dade, how could they refuse the kindness of the six doors to visit.

Sending Zi'er away, Xu Fan went straight back to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and a gust of wind blew into the courtyard full of peach blossoms.

The petals of the flowers floated over the rooster's crowing station, over every courtyard, and over everyone's head.

Xu Fan mobilized the qi in his body and began to impact the meridians and muscles and bones, and began to refine his physique again.

In Guangling Xufu, in desperation, a cyclone hole was opened up in Zifu.

Now it seems to be a good thing.

Due to the nourishment of the cyclone acupoint, Xu Fan can conceive and cultivate a small qi sword in his body, and under the impact of the qi sword, the qi machine will become more and more comfortable, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort when forging his body.

The fragrance of peach blossoms outside the window hit people, and Xu Fan in the house had sweat stains on his forehead.

After a while, Xu Fan, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, moved his ears slightly, and heard a burst of footsteps.

Soon, Zi'er, who was wearing a purple dress, came to the door of Xu Fan's room with a sad face, hesitating whether to knock on the door, and stood like this, not knowing what to do.

Zi'er was at war with heaven and man in her heart, and her young master said that she couldn't see it, but the catcher of the six doors said that she could wait.

This made the two masters of the Xu Mansion unable to sit still, if Zi'er didn't invite Xu Fan again, Xu Wenshu and Xu Yuhui were afraid that they would have to come in person.

After another moment, Zi'er plucked up her courage, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door, and said softly, "Young master, young master, have you fallen asleep?" ”

There was silence for a while, and Zi'er could almost hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took, and there was a sigh from Xu Fan in the room.

In the Accord on the second floor of the Jimingyi Inn, the six doors in a red dress are fast, and under the eyebrows, a pair of beautiful eyes show curiosity. Opposite her sat a white-faced scholar in a scribe's robe, his eyes slightly closed, and he kept nodding slightly, as if he was silently reciting in his heart something that the red dress did not know.
