It's good to ride the wind, the sky is thousands of miles, and you can look down at the mountains and rivers.

Lu Shen and his entourage took the forged identity of the warp weaving division, crossed the Shuangfeng Mountain Range from the Wangmei Ancient Road in the west of Guangling City, and then entered the territory of Beiyan in disguise from the north of Xunyang City.

Their journey plan is to go north through Beiyan Moyang Road, and then cross Dongyang Road diagonally from south to north, as long as they enter the mountainous area north of Dongyang Road, they will be picked up by people from the Seven Star Gang.

This road is relatively long, and if you enter the territory of Beiyan Dongyang Road from the mountain trail in the north of Huaizhou, the distance can be shortened by nearly half.

Lu Shen chose the current route on the one hand for safety reasons, and on the other hand, he wanted to really understand the geography of Beiyan.

After all, the paper is shallow, and the map drawing of this era is quite rough, far less detailed and real than seeing it in person.

Among the entourage, in addition to Wei Chigui invited by Xiao Wangzhi, there were also six guards including Li Chengen and Tan Zheng, all of whom were young and promising masters.

The journey was long, and Lu Shen lived a very fulfilling life, he observed the customs of Beiyan along the way, and in his spare time, he exchanged martial arts with Li Chengen and others.

Wei Chigui was silent, and occasionally pointed out Lu Shen's martial arts experience, although it was only a few words, Lu Shen benefited a lot.

On May 13, relying on the forged identity of the warp weaving department to pass several tests, the group finally came to the official road in the belly of Dongyang Road, east of which is Ruyin City, the capital of Dongyang Road.

"Young Master, do you want to go to Ruyin City for a turn?" Li Chengen rode his horse to Lu Shen's side and asked in a low voice.

Lu Shen replied calmly: "Aren't you worried that we will be recognized by the spies of the Pseudo-Yan Prosecutor's Office?" ”

Li Chengen smiled and said, "The pseudo-Yan spies who have seen the young master in Guangling City are all dead, and didn't the young master give us all a disguise?" In the future, if I want to recover Dongyang Road, Ruyin City is the top priority, so the young master might as well take this opportunity to investigate on the spot. ”

Lu Shen said indifferently: "Excuse me, more things are better than less." Since Ruyin is an important town on Dongyang Road, there must be a lot of soldiers and fine works, and it is difficult to clean up in case of trouble. Five or six miles ahead is the fork in the road where we can turn north, so let's not stop and continue north. ”

Li Chengen responded: "Yes, young master." ”

On the other side, Wei Chigui held the reins in both hands, turned his head to look at Lu Shen, and said calmly: "Lu Duwei is not like a twenty-year-old young man. ”

Lu Shen knew that this person's martial arts were unfathomable, which could be seen from Xiao Wangzhi's attention to him that day. He later asked Li Chengen, and Wei Chigui ranked eighth on the martial arts list, but he disappeared six years ago and ignored the disputes in the rivers and lakes, and stayed in the Huaizhou Governor's Mansion to protect Xiao Wangzhi's safety.

In addition, Wei Chigui's past, mentorship and life experience are all a mystery, and Li Chengen only knows that this master is used to fighting the enemy empty-handed and never uses weapons.

Seeing that this taciturn middle-aged man took the initiative to speak, Lu Shen smiled and asked, "What do you mean by what your predecessors say?" ”

Wei Chi returned and said: "Brother Gongzi of your age, it is when Zhangtai is proud, and few people can endure loneliness so much and act with dignity. I have been staying by Brother Xiao's side, and I have seen many rookies in the army, and there are also people who are stronger than you in terms of martial arts, but basically no one can be as cautious as Ling. Seriously speaking, in terms of calmness and heaviness, perhaps only the eldest prince can compare with the captain. ”

Lu Shen knew that the eldest prince in his mouth was Xiao Wangzhi's eldest son, Xiao Lin, who was now serving as the commander of Taiping Prefecture, and he said humbly: "Seniors praise falsely, I just don't like to cause unplanned trouble. ”

Wei Chigui bowed slightly, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head and glanced back.

There was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves from behind.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw hundreds of cavalry rushing towards them.

This official road is the only main road connecting North Yanjing City and Dongyang Road, so the road is full of traffic.

Originally, passers-by and horses were moving forward in an orderly manner, and these hundreds of cavalry rushed all the way without slowing down, causing chaos in the road, and all kinds of people couldn't help but dodge in panic, which shows the arrogance and tyranny of these cavalry.

Lu Shen naturally wouldn't jump out at this time to attract attention, and as his short order was given, Li Chengen and the others immediately rode their horses to the side of the road.

Wei Chigui was not a maverick, but there was a little more coldness in his eyes.

The group of cavalry was extremely arrogant, but no one on the official road dared to openly curse, and they all carefully avoided it.

Among them is a young nobleman, handsome eyes and eyebrows, fair skin, noble and elegant temperament, although he is dressed as a man, he can be seen at a glance that he is a daughter.

"Get out of here!"

There was a middle-aged man in front of the road who was slow to move, and the leading cavalry shouted angrily, and then the long whip in his hand was swung out and slammed into the body of the ordinary person, only to see the common man roll on the ground a few times, and stop on the side of the road and howl miserably.

The whip-wielding Jing Dynasty cavalry laughed, and the other companions also laughed one after another, as if the people of Beiyan were like pigs and dogs in their eyes.

Li Chengen and Tan Zheng and the others were full of anger in their hearts, but they couldn't do anything but be angry.

The Jing Dynasty cavalry continued to move forward, and the young nobleman in the team didn't seem to notice the small episode ahead, and when he passed by Lu Shen's group, he turned his head to look over, first looked at Wei Chigui, who was indifferent, and then swept past Lu Shen's face.

In an instant, the four eyes met.

Lu Shen's heart was slightly cold, this young noble boy dressed as a man had deep eyes, like a bottomless lake, and even the sunlight could only shine into a few inches.

A henchman next to Gui Gongzi stared at Lu Shen's mount, and it was not until more than a hundred horses ran forward for a distance that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

About half an hour later, Ruyin City, the capital of Dongyang Road, appeared in the sight of the Jing Dynasty cavalry.

They gradually slowed down, and the henchman leaned in and said, "Your Highness, those people just now don't look simple. ”

The noble son is Qing Yu Huaijin, the beloved daughter of Wang Qing Yugong of Changshan County of the Jing Dynasty, she raised her eyes to look at the towering walls of Ruyin City in front of her, and said lightly: "What kind of people?" ”

The henchman replied: "When that kid from Zhun Tugu shot and beat people, there were seven or eight knights on the right side of the road, except for a man in his forties, most of the others were around twenty or thirty years old, I don't know if Your Highness has any impression?" ”

Qing Yu Huaijin bowed slightly: "What's not simple? ”

"Although they hid on the side of the road like everyone else, unlike the panic and nervousness of ordinary people, the villain did not find any fear on their faces, but instead had a kind of composure that was accustomed to seeing the wind and rain. One of them had a very good horse, and even the army could not see such a horse. As far as the villain knows, there are no young children of these families in Dongyang Road who meet the situation of these people, and their identities may be a little suspicious. ”

At the end, he couldn't help but have a little envy in his eyes.

The corners of Qing Yu Huaijin's mouth were slightly hooked, knowing that this loyal subordinate had made an old mistake again, others like gold and silver treasures or beautiful flowers, and he loved to collect the world's precious foals, so the previous words may just be foreshadowing.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to find some oddities along the way.

She has always been generous to the people around her, but she doesn't care about his careful thoughts, so she smiled and said: "Give you three days, and then you must come back to do things without delay." Also, the most important thing in recent times is to subdue the Northland Green Forest, you have to pay attention to the means, don't make a big deal of panic. ”

The henchman was overjoyed, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your grace!" ”

He naturally didn't dare to act at will, and when he entered Ruyin City, he escorted Qing Yu Huaijin to the General's Mansion, and saw with his own eyes that Li Shouzhen, the new general of Dongyang Road, and Wang Shidao, the attendant of the Prosecutor's Office, welcomed the county lord in, and then he left in a hurry with a small team of masters.

In the main hall of the General's Mansion, Li Shouzhen and Wang Shidao respectfully invited Qingyu Huaijin to take a seat, and said apologetically: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the county lord is coming, and he will miss the welcome in the end, and I ask His Highness to forgive me." ”

Compared with his predecessor Zhang Junhei, Li Shouzhen's closeness to the Jing Dynasty is more obvious, and he will not hide it even in front of Wang Shidao - perhaps in his opinion, Wang Shidao is the real henchman of the Generalissimo of the Jing Dynasty, so why should he hide his ears and steal the bell?

Qing Yu Huaijin smiled faintly, picked up the white porcelain bowl next to him, picked up the bowl lid and glanced at the high-grade tribute tea inside, but he didn't bow his head to taste it, put it back lightly, and then said: "The general doesn't have to be like this, I came in a hurry this time, so I didn't let people pass it on in advance." Lord Wang, what's going on with the Seven Stars Gang? ”

Wang Shidao replied: "Back to Your Highness, those small gangs are left aside for the time being, among the four strongest gangs in the Northland Green Forest, although the Jinsha Gang and the Double Tiger Gang are extremely polite to our envoys, they have been avoiding talking about the core issues, and it is still uncertain whether they are waiting for the price to sell or being false and wronged. As for Yunfu Village, the owner of the village, Qi Zang, has clearly expressed his intention to return to obedience, and will send his henchmen deep into the mountains of Baotai to try to provoke the greed of some people in the Seven Star Gang. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin listened expressionlessly, and said slowly: "In this way, the Seven Star Gang is currently quite stable internally? ”

"Yes." Wang Shidao muttered: "In accordance with His Highness's orders, we have not used the internal response of the Seven Star Gang for the time being, and originally planned to force the Seven Star Gang to surrender after subduing the other gangs. ”

Qing Yu Huaijin was silent, and after a while, a cold light floated in his eyes, and he said leisurely: "Let Nei Ying move first, I want to see how full Lin Jie's confidence is." ”

Wang Shidao arched his hand and said: "Yes! ”

A character card has been added to Kyung Yu Huaijin.
