A quaint mansion with two strange stone beasts squatting on the left and right at the door. Xiang Ye looked at the two beasts, he seemed to have seen this kind of shape somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while, so he had to shake his head and follow Chi Xue'e to the stairs at the door of the house.

As soon as the two of them climbed the stairs, a group of soldiers wearing Qin army armor ran out of the door, and after these soldiers ran out, without saying a word, they surrounded the two of them first, and more than ten spears surrounded Xiang Ye and Chi Xue'e in the middle.

"Who? What are you doing at the county watchhouse? After surrounding the two, a Qin officer walked up to them with a sword on the hilt of his sword at his waist and looked at them from head to toe with wary eyes.

"The general." Chi Xue'e took a step forward, hugged her fists and saluted the officer and said, "The people's daughter is Chi Xue'e of the Yan clan, and she has come to visit Li Junshou, and the general is annoying!" ”

"Chi Xue'e?" The officer circled around Chi Xue'e, looked at her from head to toe, and finally turned to her front, looked at her face carefully for a while, and asked, "Are you really Mrs. Yan?" ”

"It's the people's daughter." Chi Xue'e smiled slightly, and gave the officer a man's salute.

Seeing Chi Xue'e admit her identity, the officer hurriedly replied with a salute and said: "In the past, Mrs. Yan came here to hug each other, and never brought only one entourage today, and in my heart, Mrs. Yan always likes to wear a bearded suit, and has never worn a man's deep coat, so she failed to recognize it at a glance, so I hope Mrs. will forgive me for being offended!" ”

After that, he straightened up and said to the soldiers on the side, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you go and get a mat for your wife! ”

Several soldiers hurriedly answered and ran towards the door, and after a while took one, no, it should be said that they carried a mat out.

The mat is not big, only one meter square horizontally and vertically, if one person holds it, at most it can be clamped under the armpit, but these Qin soldiers are scrambling to pull a corner and pull out this mat that was originally only a few taels heavy.

"Madame Yan, please sit quietly, and then go and report to the county guard." When a few Qin soldiers had laid out the mats, the officer made a gesture of invitation to Chi Xue'e, took a few steps backwards, and turned around and entered the gate.

After the officer entered the door, Chi Xue'e sat on the ground, she looked up at Xiang Ye, who was still standing aside, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Brother, you have been wronged, Master Li will let us in later, and I will introduce you to him." ”

Her voice was very small, but the soldiers of the Qin army on the side heard it clearly, and the two soldiers with bright heads turned around and ran into the gate before the others could react to what was going on, and then the two ran out carrying a straw mat.

When the rest of the Qin army saw the two of them running out with straw mats, they immediately patted their heads in annoyance and booed.

When the two Qin soldiers laid out the straw mats, Xiang Ye sat down very calmly, turned his face sideways and shrugged his eyebrows proudly at Chi Xue'e.

"Madame Yan, Lord Commander, please!" Before Xiang Ye could finish his complacency, the officer who had run in earlier turned back and bowed to Chi Xue'e and said.

Chi Xue'e hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and said sweetly: "The people's daughter is grateful to the general for this." ”

After thanking the officer, she didn't wait for Xiang Ye, who was still sitting cross-legged on the mat in a daze, and turned around and walked into the door.

"Alas~~ Sister, wait for me!" Xiang Ye saw Chi Xue'e raise her feet and step over the threshold, and hurriedly got up and chased after him.

When the officer came out, he was very surprised to see Xiang Ye also sitting on the mat, and suddenly heard him call him Sister Chi Xue'e, and his eyes suddenly widened in shock. He looked at the soldiers around him in amazement, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiang Ye, who had already run into the gate, wanting the soldiers to give him an explanation.

Several of the soldiers also shrugged their shoulders, but only one of them replied, "Madame Yan said that the man is her brother, and we don't know what's going on." ”

Before entering the house, Xiang Ye thought that the mansion guarded by the county should be a magnificent landscape, but when he really entered the house, he was surprised to find that there was only a bluestone paved path in the house that still reflected the identity of the owner, and there should have been some stone carvings on both sides of the road.

"Hehe, the lower officials don't know that Mrs. Yan is coming, and I hope to forgive my sins if I miss the distance!" The two walked across the bluestone road and came to the outside of a big house, and a person walked out of the room, who arched his hand towards Chi Xue'e after coming out, and bowed slightly with a smile on his face.

Xiang Ye carefully looked at the person who greeted him, and saw that he was wearing a dark blue robe, and the bun on the top of his head was carefully combed, looking shiny and shiny. When this man clenched his hands into fists, Xiang Ye saw that his ten fingers were slender, this kind of fingers were not possessed by martial artists at all, just from the fingers, he had already determined that the other party was just a literati who was good at reading books and Jane, and it was definitely not a martial artist who wielded a gun and a stick.

The person who greeted him not only had long fingers, but his slightly thin face was also unusually pale, looking like he hadn't rested well for a long time. Even so, his slightly small eyes still shone with wisdom.

"The county keeper is gracious." With a sweet smile on her face, Chi Xue'e gave a salute to the person who greeted her, but this salute was not like the kind of bow to the officer at the door just now, but the woman's etiquette of twisting her clothes and bending her knees slightly.

"Let's not stand outside and talk, Madame Yan, please come into the inner hall and speak." It was Li You who came out to greet him, he leaned forward slightly and stretched out a hand to make a gesture of please to Chi Xue'e.

The two politely walked into the hall with each other, and after entering the hall, the scene in front of him made Xiang Ye feel a little surprised, he had always heard how the officials of the Qin Dynasty exploited the people, but the hall in front of him was empty, except for a few low tables and a few straw mats spread on the ground.

After Li You and Chi Xue'e sat down, Xiang Ye couldn't help but look at him twice, could the thin and fair-skinned man in front of him really lead the Xingyang army and people to resist the Sanchuan County Guard who had been besieged by Zhang Chu's army for several months? Could it be that he is really the son of the prime minister who declared his loyalty to Great Qin with his life in the Battle of Yongqiu in the future?

Xiang Ye's abnormal expression was quickly discovered by the shrewd Li You, who turned his face to look at Chi Xue'e and asked, "Madam Yan, may I ask who this little brother you brought?" ”

"Oh, he's my brother." Chi Xue'e smiled and said to Li You: "My brother's name is Xiang Ye, a few days ago I passed through Li County with a caravan, just in time for General Zhang Han to fight with the robbers, originally I planned to take a detour to avoid it, but I didn't expect to meet a strong man near Suiyang." All my entourage was killed, and all the goods were lost, and if it had not been for the rescue of my brothers, I am afraid that the women would never have seen the adults again. ”

"Oh! Since you are a righteous man, please take a seat! Li You nodded, looked at Xiang Ye with a little more admiration, stood up and made a gesture to Xiang Ye to sit down.

After Xiang Ye sat down, Li Youcai sat down again, and he frowned and asked Chi Xue'e: "Is there still the Hu Ren short clothes that His Majesty wore during the spring hunt among the goods lost by Mrs. Yan?" ”

Chi Xue'e pursed her lips, nodded with teary eyes, and said in a slightly choked tone: "The county guard guessed correctly, it was the strongman who robbed the caravan who robbed the Hu people in short clothes, and the folk girl also had the chance to meet Wu Yue's famous sword Canghong and the divine bow Yiwang bow before that, and it happened that the robbers were in trouble, and they originally planned to give it to the county guard, but they didn't want to be robbed by the strongman, and the entire caravan of more than 200 people all died at the hands of the strongman." ”

Li You nodded silently after listening to Chi Xue'e's words, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Canghong and King Yi have heard of it, but they didn't have the opportunity to see it, and it is indeed a pity to pass by with them this time, but these two divine weapons are not something I can control, and it is not a pity to lose them, but the Hu Ren short suit is what His Majesty urgently needs, and if you lose it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Mrs. Yan to take off it." ”

Xiang Ye on the side knew very well that the short dress was thrown on the ground by Chi Xue'e after he wore it dirty, and the target of Xin Ling and the others was not the clothes, but the Canghong and King Yi bows carried by the caravan. The reason why Chi Xue'e said that the short clothes were also snatched away should be to find Li You's help, even if she can't get back the two famous weapons, at least she can find some trouble for Wu Yue Sword Tomb and get out of the evil spirit in her chest.

From Li You's slightly nervous expression, Xiang Ye could see that the short suit should have been specially purchased by Li Si in order to cater to Hu Hai's taste. From this point of view, Li Si should have lost ground in the DPRK and urgently needed these delicate playthings to curry favor with Hu Hai.

Seeing that Chi Xue'e didn't speak, Li You's eyes narrowed slightly, and then asked, "Who did it?" ”

"Wu Yue Sword Tomb!" As soon as these words came out of Chi Xue'e's mouth, Li You was taken aback.

"You mean Zhuji's Wu Yue Sword Shrine?" Li You's eyes widened, and he glared at Chi Xue'e and asked, "What do they want that thing for?" Although the cloth is a rare and excellent silk, it is of no use to them at all. ”

"Maybe it's because it's for His Majesty, so they started to grab it." Chi Xue'e frowned, and said with a worried face: "Lord County Shou should also know, if there is chaos today, everyone is in turmoil, especially Xiang Liang in Chu is the most powerful, Wu Yue Sword Tomb and the Xiang family have been in contact with each other a few years ago, and now Xiang Liang wants to go west, he must pass through Sanchuan, Lord County Shou can think about it, if you can eradicate your Li family with Your Majesty's hand, will it be much easier to go west?" ”

Speaking of this, she continued: "Of course, these are just my guesses, but haven't you ever thought about why the people from Wu Yue Sword Shrine would make a special trip to snatch that set of short shirts that is not very important?" ”
