Near the city of Pingyang, Wang Qilin rode on a hill and looked at the city ahead.

I'm finally a big city person!

He has been to Yunzhou Mansion, and he has seen the prosperity of Jiuzhou, but Pingyang Mansion and Yunzhou Mansion are not the same at all, there are many mountains here, so the city has to be built on the mountain, it is not like some mountain cities to build a city with a mountain on its back, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It is a city alliance.

Binh Duong Province is in the middle of the mountains, and the city is the city of mountains, scattered into seven small cities.

The number of the seven small cities corresponds to the seven stars of the Big Dipper in the sky, so each is named after the name of one star and the word 'town'. Among them, Tianshu Town is the core of the seven towns, and the yamen, post offices and other institutions are all in this town.

The seven towns are all built on the mountain, nestled against each other and relying on each other, and when one side is in trouble, all sides support.

Naturally, there is no way to unify the scattered city with a city wall, it only has intermittent sections of the city wall, but there are frequent patrols by the city defense army, and a patrol team with neat armor and bright swords and guns patrols around the small city, and in this era of peace, there is no large armed force that can pose a threat to such a city.

In wartime, the absence of a city wall will cause the city to be easy to attack and difficult to defend, but in the same way, they can't stand the enemy's capture and can't hold it, and the soldiers have always known that Pingyang Mansion is not easy to defend here, so although it is a traffic fortress, few soldiers are willing to start a bloody battle here.

In addition, the title of Wu Pingyang is not for nothing, the people of Pingyang Mansion are fierce, the children are brave, regardless of men and women who put down their swords are the people, and those who pick up swords are officers and soldiers, they are very good at scattered battles, and they are familiar with the local Yamagata, so any army that dares to invade Pingyang Mansion will suffer a big loss.

When the current dynasty overthrew the previous dynasty, the warriors of Pingyang Mansion took the initiative to join the rebel army, which caused the previous dynasty to lose this place, otherwise Emperor Taizu planned to bypass Pingyang Mansion when he captured the county.

The city guards are heavily guarded, and the small cities have no walls but are not defenseless, and they have a moat around the perimeter, so if you want to enter the city, you still have to take one of the few roads in the same city.

Wang Qilin and his entourage entered the city, and officials, soldiers and tax collectors came to check on everyone very strictly.

The eyes of the officers and soldiers were very poisonous, and when they saw the widowed fish cover, they immediately pressed their waist knives and shouted: "What's the matter with this girl? What is your identity? Hurry up and take out the waist card!"

This dynasty has been peaceful for many years, encouraging economic circulation, so it issued a waist card to the people.

But there are still many villagers who do not have waist cards, and they are not allowed to move around at will, otherwise they will be arrested as homeless.

Wang Qilin was about to go to the post house on an errand, so he didn't have to go into the city incognito, so he took out the iron captain seal and handed it over.

Seeing that the official seal tax collector had a straight face, he said, "You are Lord Tiewei who listens to the heavenly prison?"

The commander of the officer army took out his waist knife and put the official seal up, and the iron captain seal was immediately firmly attached to it, which is the way the iron captain seal is falsified.

Seeing this, the group immediately knelt down and saluted, and the commander of the army half-knelt and said: "Mei Bazi, the lowly city patrol officer, has seen Lord Tiewei, please forgive me for not being able to give full salutes to my humble armor!"

Wang Qilin took back the seal of Tiewei and said: "Lord Mei is polite, please get up, this official has just arrived, and he is not familiar with Pingyang Mansion, I don't know if my lord can arrange for someone to take this official to the post house in the city?"

Mei Bazi hugged his fists and said: "Please forgive me, my lordship and my brothers have the responsibility of inspecting the city defense, and I dare not get out, so I forgive my life, and ask my lord to find someone else to lead the way." ”

This answer surprised Wang Qilin, his response just now could be described as very polite, and Mei Bazi, the unpopular city patrol officer, was quite unkind to him.

He is now the iron captain of the city of a government, although his rank and real power are not as good as the prefect, but he is also one of the few high-ranking officials in this city, but this officer and soldier did not give him face, and he refused to even arrange a guide.

Xu Da immediately shouted angrily: "Bold, your attitude is so arrogant!"

Mei Bazi saluted and said, "Please punish me......!"

"Lord Mei is serious," Wang Qilin interrupted him with a smile, "Lord Mei has fulfilled his duties and deserves to be praised, but this official's request is too unreasonable." ”

Mei Bazi saluted him again: "Lord Xie Haihan, Lord Tiewei, if there is nothing important, I will continue to inspect the city defense." ”

Wang Qilin smiled and waved his hand, and Mei Bazi led the team away with a straight face.

Xu Da scratched his chin with a horsewhip and said: "Seventh Master, it seems that it makes sense to open the road on the road, you are really not easy to mix in this city, and even a little captain of the city patrol will not sell your face." ”

The fish cover said cautiously: "Perhaps, he is dutiful?"

Everyone looked at her, and she hurriedly added in a whisper: "What the seventh master said." ”

Wang Qilin raised his hand and gave her a brain breakdown, and said, "If he was conscientious in his duties, he would arrange for a subordinate or a common man to come over and help lead the way for us, but he didn't do this, which means that he didn't take me, the Iron Captain, in his eyes." ”

The fish cover nodded suddenly, and then comforted him: "It's okay, don't be sad." ”

me!

Wang Qilin was stunned, what am I sad about?

"I'm going to help you find your way, I've been looking for someone to inquire about for the past two years, and I have experience in this area." ”

After saying that, she jumped up and down like a big rabbit, and really went to find someone to ask for directions.

The fish cover has the delicate sweetness of the sister next door, and when she squints her eyes and smiles, her eyes will turn into crescents, which makes it even more cute, so it is easy to find someone to inquire about the news.

This made her feel that she had made a meritorious service, and puffed up her chest and beckoned: "Come with me, I know how the post house has gone." ”

Several men swallowed their saliva together, Wang Qilin was embarrassed to peek at the other people's reactions, but saw that Ma Ming was also peeking at himself in embarrassment.

Shen Yi and Xu Da looked above board, these were two rhodium, cesium, and beryllium.

Xie Toad shook his head and laughed on the side: A group of scum, women are just a bunch of flesh and bones.

When she arrived at the door of the Tingtian Prison Station, even the fish cover began to swallow saliva, she turned her head to look at Wang Qilin with difficulty, and couldn't help but want to comfort him again.

The post house is too dilapidated.

The location is remote, the building is simple, there are two rows of side houses and a two-story building surrounded by a mud wall, Wang Qilin saw the scene when he went to Fulong Township to report on the Qingming Festival.

"Life is a Tai Chi, and we turn back, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable. Xie Toad said.

Wang Qilin muttered: "May you run away for half your life, and you will still be a small seal when you return?"

Eight Meow was delighted, and when he came out, he jumped on the horse's head, pressed his front paws against the horse's skull, raised his head and roared, and then jumped away.

Soon it came back with a mouse in its mouth.

Jiuliu, who was carried by Wang Qilin in the baggage, couldn't wait to call out, and it struggled hard in the back, asking to go down and fight side by side with the little brother.

Wang Qilin put it down, and then Jiuliu found a mouse hole to excavate.

Looking at the splash of soil, Wang Qilin vaguely saw the figure of black beans again.

To sum it up, he vaguely saw the scene of Black Bean digging a rat hole at the gate of Fulong Township.

But that was a few months ago, when he was still a small seal!

Xu Da sat on the saddle and asked: "Seventh Master, this is our future territory? The post house of Fucheng is not quite right, why is the post house of Yunzhou Mansion a high-door family, there are public courts, there are prisons, and there are many big houses, you here, tsk!"

He smacked his lips, unable to bear to say more.

Wang Qilin said: "It seems that the martial arts family is indeed strong, and there is no row here for the Heavenly Eunuch." ”

"What then?"

"What should I do? If you come, you will be safe, dismount, and settle! This official is here to protect the people of Fucheng, not to enjoy life, so it doesn't matter what the post house is, as long as there is a place to stay!" Wang Qilin slapped the saddle and jumped down, and instructed Xu Da to open the door.

The gate of the post house was closed and locked.

Xu Da stepped up, the door opened, and then the plaque on the door also fell, a swallow flew away in panic, and a mud nest fell, and several small swallows that had just grown hair opened their yellow beaks and chirped.

The fish cover hurriedly went up to pick up the little swallow, she stretched out her hand to soothe it, the little swallow magically quieted down, snuggled tightly together and rubbed her hand with the little brain.

Eight Meow saw that Little Swallow was coming hard, and it ran out and threw away a mouse, meowing at Little Swallow's ill-intentioned meow.

The fish cover held the little swallow to his chest and waved to it: "Eight meows go to the side, eight meows can't eat birds!"

Eight Meow was even more angry: That was Meow Ye's territory!

Wang Qilin was looking at the joy, at this time a small house on the opposite side of the street opened, and someone came out with a plaque, and when he saw him, he immediately laughed: "Brother! Brother Wang!"

Package big.

He was about to come to the plaque with the fifth flavor, and when he saw Wang Qilin, he happily threw away the plaque and came to talk to him.

Wang Qilin was pleasantly surprised when he saw him and asked, "You have moved here?"

Bao Da laughed and said: "Haha, yes, the lady said that there are many empty houses here, so we bought a house opposite your door, so that we will still be neighbors in the future, and it will be convenient to do anything." ”

Hearing this, Wang Qilin said euphemistically: "Big brother, since Suisui is not your wife, don't call her a lady, can you call her the boss?"

Bao Da touched the back of his head and smiled, turned around and shouted, "Boss, who do you think is coming?"

The Suisui lady with a green scarf on her head looked at it curiously, then patted the flour on her hand and walked out with a smile: "Uncle, are you here? What about Grandpa and Grandma and Black Bean? Why haven't you seen them?"

"They're still behind, it will take a few days to arrive," Wang Qilin explained, and then said, "Suisui, don't call me uncle, I'm not your husband's brother." ”

Xu Da said: "Suisui, ......"

Wang Qilin squinted at him, and he had to change his words: "Lady, why do you have a green headscarf on your head?"

Suisui Niangzi glanced at the fish mask with a smile, and asked instead of answering: "Who is this good-looking girl? ”

Wang Qilin introduced: "Her name is Yu Mask, and it is a case, well, the victim's family. ”

Sui Sui Niangzi immediately didn't ask much, she said: "It just so happens that we have cleaned up the shop today, and you will come over for dinner later." ”

"Okay. Wang Qilin responded happily, "I will go to your place to eat every day in the future." ”

Suisui Niangzi smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll make you delicious food every day, frying, steaming and frying, I will have more tricks." ”

Xu Da pursed his lips and said, "It's so sour, is the vinegar jar in your store poured in, lady?"

Sui Sui Niangzi smiled: "I'm afraid that Master Xu has a problem with his sense of taste, right? I just opened a jar of ten-year-old wine, if you smell the wine." ”

Hu Tu called out to her in the house, and she turned around and walked away.

Yu Hood said enviously: "This sister is really good-looking, even in our Miaoyin Pavilion, she can rank among the top few." ”

"The first few?!"

"Yes, I'm not exaggerating, she's so good-looking. ”

Xu Dadao: "I mean, you have so many beauties in Miaoyin Pavilion?"

Shen Yi suddenly went crazy, brandished his wand and began to practice.

Wang Qilin was taken aback: "Great monk, what are you doing?"

Xie Toad said helplessly: "You can't understand this, he wants to show his skills and show that he is a hero." ”

He said to Wang Qilin again: "Lord Wang, don't you think Suisui Niangzi is a little weird?"

Wang Qilin frowned and said, "It's a little weird, she first was a neighbor with us in Jixiang County, and then she came to Pingyang Mansion or was a neighbor with us, it seems that she has been chasing us, do you think she will have something to do with the remnants of the previous dynasty?"

Xie Toad smiled and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the old Taoist priest doesn't know. ”

They pushed open the door, the inside was quite clean and tidy, but there was no furniture, empty, the house was surrounded by walls, Wang Qilin saw that the rats in the post house were sad: pity them, they stayed in such a poor place, they didn't get a little oil and water, but because of the arrival of Eight Meow and Ninety-six, they suffered a catastrophe.

Ma Ming was very surprised, and said: "Seventh Master, I heard that the Heavenly Prison is a big organ in Fucheng, how can it be so deserted?

Wang Qilin said: "They have all been dismissed, I understand!"

He slapped his thigh violently, and everyone looked at it, and the fish cover was especially looking forward to it.

Wang Qilin said: "No wonder there is no furniture here, it must have been taken away by those wandering star wrestlers or slaves when they were dismissed!"

Fortunately, the wooden bed was not moved.

Wang Qilin asked Ma Ming and Xu Da to go out to buy futons, and he was packing up his robes, when someone shouted at the door: "Maid, you come out." ”

The fish cover stupidly walked out and pointed to his nose and asked, "Big brother, are you talking about me?"

The man who came to the door was a chubby middle-aged man, who handed over a big red invitation and said, "Yes, may I ask if Lord Tiewei is at the post office?" My prefect has learned that he has come to perform his duties, and he specially wants to give him a banquet, and I ask you to hand him the invitation. ”

The fish cover took the invitation and said, "But I'm not his maid. ”

The man asked, "Then are you his wife?"

"No, of course not, my husband is a big hero, and the master said that he is the future, cough cough ......"

"Oh, hello maid, goodbye maid, you must hand over the invitation to your lord. The middle-aged man turned and left.

The rest of the fish cover was angry: "I said that I am not his maid! I am a disciple of Miaoyin Pavilion!"

Wang Qilin leaned against the door and beckoned: "Maid, come here." ”

"Warm the bed for the uncle. ”

The fish cover suddenly turned red.

Wang Qilin's face also turned red, and he shouted: "Shen Yi, get out!"

Shen Yi rolled out of the window and flew straight up to the house like a cupola.

The invitation was sent by Wu Hanlin, inviting him to go to Lanling Courtyard for a gathering tonight.

The landlord snake and officialdom partner invited a banquet, Wang Qilin couldn't refuse, he went to apologize to Suisui Niangzi, and said that he could socialize.

Suisui Niangzi smiled softly: "Okay, then I'll make a pot of sobering soup, you go to officialdom to socialize, it is inevitable that you will drink more, and you are not strong enough to drink, so when you come back, come over and drink a bowl of sobering soup, so that it will be more comfortable to sleep at night." ”

Wang Qilin nodded and left.

He handed over Bameow, Jiuliu and the fish cover to Suisui Niangzi, and took four of his subordinates to Lanling Courtyard.

Lanling Courtyard is in Tianshu Town, it is the top restaurant of Pingyang Mansion, it has a total of six floors up and down, shaped like a pagoda, there is a huge porcelain cup on the top, the restaurant will pour wine into the cup during the New Year's Festival, when the wine evaporates, the whole Tianshu Town has the fragrance of wine.

From top to bottom, the corners of the eaves around the restaurant are hung with red lanterns, the lights are brilliant, and the top lanterns can be seen in the whole Tianshu Town.

There are four gates in the restaurant, and after Wang Qilin brought people into the door, Xiao Er immediately came up to answer: "Uncles are here?"

Wang Qilin handed him the invitation, and when he saw it, he immediately said: "It turned out to be the guest of honor of my father's official, come with me." ”

Hearing his name, Wang Qilin was curious, and asked, "What did you call Master Wu just now?"

Xiao Er smiled and said: "Father, Lord Wu is the father of all the people of our Wu Pingyang, and the people thank the Wu family for their protection, so they call him so." ”

Wang Qilin smiled and didn't speak, they went straight up to a private room on the fifth floor, and two men stood outside the private room with their hands down, and immediately stretched out their arms to block when they saw them.

Xiao Er explained his intentions, and one of the men said lightly: "I've seen Lord Wang, and I hope your husband will know that my husband will only entertain Lord Wang himself." ”

Shen Yi was furious and waved his hand to splash.

He was just about to make a move, but the man next to him turned his head to look at him first, his eyes were calm, but the clothes on his body moved without wind.

Wang Qilin was secretly frightened!

This is the Imperial Qi Realm!

This man at least has the Imperial Qi Realm, and he just released it into a protective body outside the Imperial Qi.

He gave Ma Ming a look, and Ma Ming pulled Shen Yi: "Then we will wait for the seventh master outside." ”

Shen Yi pointed to the two men and said: "Amitabha, I remember the two of you, and you also remember for me, Yushuai Li Changge is my uncle!"

Hearing Li Changge's name, the two men were stunned, and the man who greeted Wang Qilin looked at him suspiciously and asked, "I'm sorry, my lord, as far as I know, Ge Shuai has no brother and only two younger brothers, how can he have your nephew?"

Shen Yi said proudly: "Because my master is windless!"

The two men looked at each other: "No wind? Do you know?" "I don't know, which one is no wind?"

Xie Toad couldn't laugh, and personally dragged Shen Yi away.

Instead, a neutral voice sounded in the room, asking, "Wufeng?"

"Yes, the spray monk is Shen Yi Zen master of the mirror platform, Amitabha Buddha, Wufeng is the master of the spray monk!" Shen Yi also specially added, "Dear master!"

The person in the room said: "This official doesn't know the master of Wufeng Zen Master to drive Pingyang Mansion, forgive your sins and forgive your sins, please Lord Wang and Shen Yi Zen Master come in quickly." ”

Shen Yi said disdainfully: "Amitabha, you went to the grave to burn toilet paper to fool the ghost? How could you not have investigated my seventh master, how could you not know my existence after investigation? You still don't want to give our seventh master a dismount? Hmph, seventh master, you go in by yourself, I won't go in!"

He said to Xu Da and the others: "If he asks me to enter, I will enter? If he doesn't let me in, I won't enter? Hehe, he is a Buddha? Why do I listen to him so much? I don't even listen to my master!"

Xu Da stretched out his thumb at him, his face full of admiration.

The two men looked puzzled, and one of them saw that his attitude was not right, so he said with a gloomy face: "Monk, is there something wrong with your brain?"

"That's right!" Shen Yi pointed at him excitedly and said, "Amitabha, I said that you must have investigated us, and you still don't admit it, hehe, show the horse's feet, right?

The two men were stunned and had nothing to say.

What can they do?

You can't be like a fool, can you?

Wang Qilin couldn't help but smile and entered the door, there were only two people in the huge private room, one was a middle-aged man about fifty years old, and the other was a sturdy man around thirty years old.

Wu Hanlin had a red face, silkworm eyebrows, three locks of long beard under his chin, and sat behind the table with an indifferent expression, with the momentum of a commander.

Wu Jingzhan next to him was like a charging general, he was tall, broad-shouldered, and imposing after standing up.

Unlike his father, Wu Jingzhan's eyebrows are thick and dense, and his face is a beard with a slightly curly beard, so when he raises his head, his slightly upturned beard is like a lion's mane, which makes his whole person look like a majestic lion.

Aggressive!
