Let a girl who has not left the cabinet stay on the same boat with a group of big men, Feng Xiaozhu is a little reluctant in his heart.

But she was raised by Fengfang as a man since she was a child, and her father told her that [there is calm in every big event], at this time, she didn't want to drag down the only [acquaintance] Xu He, so she endured her anxiety and jumped on Xiao Er's boat.

At this time, Xu He discovered that Feng Xiaozhu was a little different from the women of this era, she was [Tianzu].

"No wonder she was able to kill the last thief." Xu He thought secretly.

At this time, Xiao Er, who had not spoken, said: "Brother He, I'll go with you, the two of us will hold the boat together and walk the Xiaoxia River, faster!" ”

Xu He nodded when he heard this, at this time, the soldiers were in chaos, and it was easy to encounter thieves by land, and second, there were no horses, and the walking speed was too slow, and when he walked to Hailing, Baoba had already been robbed.

Second, if you take the waterway, you are not familiar with the distance, and the speed of one person is slow.

Thinking of this, he said to the Xie family brothers: "Take care of your aunt for a while, try to hide in a place where there are fewer people, the thieves should not come back, you had better hold the boat and go to the remote Zhuangzi, and I will ask my uncle to look for you in two days!" ”

Xie Xiu said: "Cousin, don't worry, we will definitely take care of our mother." ”

Everything was arranged, and the two ships also got out of the reeds.

Out of the reeds, sure enough, there were no bandits on the big river when they came.

Xiao Er jumped lightly and jumped onto Xu He's boat.

After the people of the two boats said goodbye, Xu He and Xiao Er rowed west with the boat.

Along the way, the two of them alternately supported the boat, and sure enough, the speed was faster than when they came.

Xu He had a splitting headache at this time, but thinking that Baoba was next to Xujia Village, he could only grit his teeth and insist.

One is the safety of the family, and the other is the future of the teacher, so I can only fight.

In the evening, it's almost time to hold the lights.

The guards guarding the gates yawned lazily.

"Lao Kong, close the city gate for a while, go to my house to drink?"

"it, Lao Tzu only has a few cents of silver a month, and I can't ask you back?"

Just as the two were chatting, a person suddenly ran in the distance.

Seeing this, the two soldiers immediately became vigilant, and one of them asked, "Who is it?" ”

The man in the distance was panting heavily, and shouted: "I'm the commander of the Dong'an Inspection Division, hurry, take me to see the county lord!" ”

The two shop soldiers were startled when they saw this, and hurriedly led the man away.

In the lobby of Hailing County, Li Zhijie frowned after listening to what the soldiers said, "You still haven't figured out what is on the salt boat?" ”

Si Bing hung his head and knelt under the hall and replied: "Master, Xie Inspector said that there must be a problem on the ship, according to the salt workers on the set, the salt farm has not been transporting salt to Yangzhou recently!" ”

Xie Liangcai stroked his beard and looked at Xie Kun on the side.

Seeing this, Xie Kun said: "It's better to believe that it exists, not to believe that it is not, close the city gate first!" Let the village warriors, the third class, and the shop soldiers all go to the city wall. ”

As soon as his words fell, a noise sounded outside the county office.

After a while, a young man dressed as a scholar broke in from outside.

"Who are you, why did you trespass into the county hall?" The horse owner Bo asked at the bottom.

The young man didn't look at Ma Zhubo at all, stood up straight and arched his hand towards Li Zhijie in the hall and said: "Li Xianzun, student Xie Liangcai, student of Yangzhou Mansion, and my father, Dali Temple, are secretive. ”

Li Zhijie was taken aback when he heard this: "It turned out to be the son of Duke Yiling, why did you come to my Hailing?" ”

Xie Liangcai endured the pain of the bruises between his crotch because of horseback riding, and told him about today's events one by one.

"Xu He? Why is there still something about Xu He here? Li Zhijie and Xie Kun stood up directly in surprise.

Xie Kun said with a cold face: "Xu He said that these thieves are coming for our Hailing County?" ”

Xie Liangcai nodded: "That's right, that gang of thieves came from the direction of Rugao, and they also burned and looted along the road, and it is impossible for the salt field to transport salt to Yangzhou at this juncture, so Xiaohe guessed that the salt boat must be filled with bandits!" ”

Li Zhijie was taken aback when he heard this, if it was really Xu He's guess, if he was fooled into the city by this group of people, his county order would be the end.

Hearing this, he did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his subordinates to quickly inform the soldiers to close several city gates.

After the others left, Xie Kun, who had been calm and silent, added: "Go to someone, inform Zhang Bingxian, and let him guard the Thousand Households Office to help guard the city tonight." ”

"Also, since Xiaohe guessed that there were thieves taking the waterway from the southern river, then the water gate next to the Tianxing Palace in the south should also be guarded, please Zhang Bingxian divided fifty troops to guard the water gate!"

"In addition, send people to Baoba outside the city to inspect the salt introduction station, let the ambassador and deputy envoy organize the salt soldiers to garrison, there is a discord, let their people take the floating ticket covered with the ambassador to enter the city from the city gate in a hanging basket, and do not go through the city gate!"

Xie Kun's series of orders were issued, and the horse owner who was catching thieves and soldiers looked at Li Zhijie with a hesitant look on his face.

Seeing this, Li Zhijie scolded: "What are you waiting for? Do it all! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" When the horse owner Bo heard this, he quickly got up and went out to make arrangements.

Xie Liang was carried down to rest.

After he left, Li Zhijie and Xie Kun came to the second hall.

After a while, suddenly there was the sound of panicked footsteps outside.

Xie Kun's face changed, and he stood up with a "sigh".

It was the county government officer who came, and as soon as he entered the second hall, the secretary panicked and said: "Master, it's not good, there are thieves found in the water gate!" ”

Li Zhijie's hand holding the tea bowl shook, and the tea splashed all over him.

Xie Kun hurriedly said: "Is the water gate closed?" ”

The barracks officer said, "It's closed!" ”

Hailing City is small, and the water gate is the kind that is hoisted with a thick wooden fence, and it is easy to close it.

Li Zhijie and Xie Kun breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, fortunately Xu He asked Xie Liangcai to come to report the news, otherwise the city gate would be closed, and the water gate would be difficult to close, and the ships entering and exiting would be crowded on weekdays, and it would take a while to close.

At this time, Xie Kun turned his head to Li Zhijie and said: "Be cautious, I'll go to find Zhang Bingxian to transfer troops, you are planning in the county government, what news is there that someone will go to the east of the city to find me, I estimate that if the thieves attack the city, they will definitely choose the east of the city nearby." ”

Li Zhijie held Xie Kun's hand and said, "Please, Brother Ziyu!" ”

Xie Kun nodded, turned around and walked out.

As soon as Xie Kun arrived outside the county office, he saw Zhang Jingxian rushing over in a hurry, followed by Wang Lie of a thousand households.

"What the hell is going on?" Before Zhang Jingxian arrived, the voice arrived first.

Xie Kun then told Xu He that he had entrusted Xie Liangcai to send a letter back.

After Zhang Jingxian heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back.

He turned his head and said to Wang Lie: "Hurry up and obey the power, Wang Qianhu, you quickly go and gather all the men in the office and divide them to the four city gates to garrison." ”

The power of the Great Wei Dynasty to transfer troops was in the hands of the commanders of the provinces, and it stands to reason that Haiphong Dao had no right to transfer troops.

But at this time, Wang Lie couldn't care much, and after listening to Zhang Jingxian's words, he turned around and sent his own soldiers back to pass the order.

Things were arranged, and before everyone could take a breath, a soldier from the East Gate stumbled and crawled over: "I saw a thief outside the East City!" ”
