"Who? What to do in Midstate? ”

The guards at the city gate glanced at a pair of young men and women leading their horses.

The man is handsome and noble, the woman is beautiful and reserved, and he doesn't look at the dress, just look at the style of the whole body, and he knows that he was born in a rich and noble family.

Not to mention, the horses led by the two are all very valuable Dawan horses.

This horse alone is worth a lot of money, and the key is that there is no market.

Regardless of ancient or modern, when you go out, you must first respect your clothes and then others.

The two guards who came forward to inquire knew at a glance that the young man and woman were from a good family.

Therefore, although they asked as usual, their attitude was relatively gentle.

The guards were more just going through the motions, and they didn't just ask questions, they searched and picked up like other people who entered the city.

If you come across a fat sheep that looks easy to slaughter, the guards will knock on a bamboo pole.

"Shen Wu, a person from the capital, came to Zhongzhou to do some business."

Shen Yu replied with a light smile, with a very good attitude.

"Jiang Sanqi, guard!"

Jiang Yanchi was as indifferent as ever, and his answer was very concise.

The guards didn't care, and after a cursory inspection, they made sure that the two were not armed, and then dodged and let them go.

In fact, as is customary, the road guide is also checked.

However, now the world is in chaos, and the local governments are also "doing their own thing".

and all that led them was deserted.

Even if there is a place to ask, they are not sure whether the other party's guide is true or false.

Tsk, the gentlemen sitting in the official office are not sure whether they are appointed by the imperial court, let alone the road guide?

However, for the convenience of travel, when leaving the cottage, Shen Wu and Jiang Yanchi both took the way.

Ahem, fake!

There is a second strategist of the cottage, Zhou Lang, who concocted it himself.

It's almost possible to confuse the real with the fake.

“…… I didn't expect it, I didn't need it at all. ”

Passing through the city gate, Shen Wu and Jiang Yanchi continued to lead the horse forward.

Shen Wu lowered her voice and said to Jiang Yanchi with a smile, "Bai is ready to do it." ”

When Shen Wu said this, she didn't complain that Zhou Lang had done useless work.

Rather—

"The guards at the gates of Zhongzhou City are indeed not as strict as imagined."

Jiang Yanchi knew Shen Yan too well, and as soon as she spoke, Jiang Yanchi knew the meaning of her words.

Originally, they thought that Zhongzhou had become the focus of attention from all sides, and even if the warlords from all walks of life did not lead a large army to come, they would send a lot of secret agents.

The Zhongzhou Thorn History and the local wealthy families definitely don't want their territory to be infiltrated into a sieve.

They are bound to step up their precautions and strict screening.

Therefore, Zhou Lang and other strategists proposed that they could make a road guide.

Shen Wu thought so.

Unexpectedly, after coming to Zhongzhou, the carefully concocted road guide was not used at all.

"On the surface, it's really not strict enough."

Shen Wan listened to Jiang Yanchi's words and nodded, but she still subconsciously turned her head and looked at the tall city gate tower and the guards on the city gate tower.

She didn't say anything more, but Jiang Yanchi understood what she meant-

On the surface, it was not strict enough, but in fact, it secretly increased the number of guards guarding the city.

It's loose and tight.

When the two entered the city, they did not immediately mount their horses.

They walked slowly along the city's main roads, inspecting them.

"The streets are clean, the shops are open as usual, and the people are not alarmed."

Shen Wu turned a street or two, and then she had a preliminary impression-

Zhongzhou is not messy!

No matter how turbulent the upper echelons were, ordinary people still lived as usual.

The market is also stable, and prices are normal in troubled times.

There is no price gouging, no people are panicking, everything seems so calm.

"The calm before the storm."

"Or, the history of the thorn here is indeed capable and prestigious."

"Not only can he govern the place well and pacify the people, but he also has a high prestige."

Otherwise, Zhongzhou City is definitely not such a peaceful scene.

Shen Yu commented objectively.

Speaking of the back, looking at the normal life of the people around him, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity-"

Such a peaceful life will eventually be broken.

The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop.

Zhongzhou has now been dragged into the whirlpool of melee, and even if the government and the people are unwilling, they can't change the facts that are about to happen.

This is also the sorrow of troubled times.

The warlords, armed with heavy armies, fought each other chaotically, and it was always the ordinary people who suffered in the end.

Shen Wu couldn't bear to think about whether a few days later, whether there would be peace and stability here today.

However, Shen Wu is powerless to change such a thing.

All she can do is help more people in the midst of the melee.

"Nope! The most important thing to do is to become strong as soon as possible and end all this as soon as possible! ”

Jiang Yanchi didn't have Shen Yan's compassion, he looked even more cold.

His words, although obviously impersonal, were very reasonable.

If we want to end the suffering of the people at the bottom, we must start from the root - end the war and restore peace.

The dynasty is unified, and the warlords are swept away, so that the people can truly live and work in peace and contentment, peace and harmony.

……

After walking along several main roads, two hours have passed.

I looked at the sky, and it was almost evening.

Shen Wu then spoke, "Find an inn and stay first." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Yanchi agreed, and began to search around.

Half an hour later, the two rode horses and came to the largest inn in Zhongzhou.

It is located in the main city, not far from the Thorn Mansion.

Ascend to the second floor of the inn, and look from afar, you can see the thorn history yamen in Zhongzhou.

Around the Assassin's Mansion are mansions one after another.

Basically, they are all local wealthy families.

The Yuan family is among them.

"It's a great place!"

Shen Wu was lying on the railing of the guest room on the second floor, holding a pergola with her hands, and just happened to see the main road located on the central axis of Zhongzhou.

The Assassin's Mansion and the mansions of several wealthy families are all on this line.

Shen Wu focused on the Yuan family.

Why, as a first-time visitor to Zhongzhou, you can find "Yuan Mansion" in a mansion at a glance?

The reason is simple –

"The joy shed has been tied."

In a mansion, there is only one family with lights, except for the Yuan family, who wants to recruit a lot of money, Shen Wu really can't think of a second household.

"It's grand."

Jiang Yanchi stood beside Shen Yan, he glanced at the Yuan Mansion not far away, and said lightly: "Ashina Xu didn't insult the ancestors. The Yuan family is so grand, obviously they like him very much. ”

Shen Wan: ......

Is this a compliment or irony?

"Jiang Sanqi, ask someone to inquire and see what day the faint ceremony is?"

"Although I don't have a relationship with Ashinah, I still have some 'origins' with Ashinaxiong, and I am still a partner with Ashinayao, for their sake, I should also go and have a glass of wine!"

Jiang Yanchi turned his head and glanced at Shen Wu, but did not speak, his expression was slightly subtle.

Your Highness, your method of friendship is really far-fetched.

However, Jiang Yanchi likes it!
