"When I was drinking tea just now, I observed that the soldiers guarding the city were particularly concerned about the adult men who were walking alone, not only checking the road guides, but also touching their faces. Xu Qi'an said.

"Touching your face?" The princess was stunned for a moment, and then she reacted, and secretly lowered her voice: "Check if there is any disguise?"

Isn't that stupid........ Xu Qi'an nodded, "This is definitely not looking for you, because the one who was taken away by the barbarians will never go alone." ”

No wonder he suddenly offered to drink tea and rest his feet in the pergola........ The princess suddenly realized.

Moreover, an area like Sanhuang County, which is close to Jiangzhou, would not normally be a target for barbarians, so such a strict inventory would not be reasonable in itself.

In addition, it can be seen from this incident that the bloody slaughter of 3,000 miles is definitely not an empty word. Otherwise, the people of the King of Zhenbei would not be so cautious. Xu Qi'an sneered.

If there is no ghost in my heart, I will not be so jealous of the legendary master of solving crimes, Xu Yinluo, who is as powerful as a prison.

The two found an inn in the city and asked for a first-class room, and as soon as the door was closed, the princess, who was obedient outside, was furious and said angrily:

"You're just trying to take advantage of me, like the womanizers in the book. Deliberately only open one room. ”

What is the name of the word you see, borrow a ......... Xu Qi'an sneered: "If you are willing to take off the bracelet, this official is willing to spend the Spring Festival with you, the princess." As for what you look like now. ”

He pointed to the dresser by the window and teased, "Look in the mirror first." ”

The princess grinded her teeth angrily, glanced at him hard, and sneered at each other: "Okay, then you sleep on the ground and I will sleep on the bed tonight." If you touch me, you're a beast.

"Alright, I'm going to bathe, please get out. ”

After so many days, she is actually not as wary of Xu Qi'an as before, knowing that he will most likely not touch her. But her arrogant personality and inertia of quarreling make it difficult for her to live in peace with Xu Ningyan.

"I'm not coming back tonight, go to bed early at night. Xu Qi'an waved his hand, turned around and walked to the door.

"Where are you going?" the princess's face changed slightly.

Although I don't want to admit it, this guy did give her a sense of security for a long time, and she was a little uncomfortable with leaving suddenly, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart.

"When I came to Sanhuang County, I wanted to find out if there were any Sanhuang chickens. Xu Qi'an replied.

When the princess heard this, she immediately smiled: "I'll go too, I want to eat too." ”

...... Xu Qi'an said angrily: "I'll go to the brothel!"

“.......”

The princess sat on the edge of the bed, leaned sideways angrily, turned her head away, and gave him the back of her head.

............

In the alley across the street from the inn, Xu Qi'an stared at the inn for half an hour, and did not see the tracking of suspicious characters, nor did he see the princess sneakily slipping away.

"Didn't run away, is this princess sick in the brain?"

This result surprised Xu Qi'an, and in his opinion, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape. Since then, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps.

Get rid of the identity of the princess, and no longer have to worry about becoming a "medicinal material" in fear.

Is she unwilling to give up the glory and wealth brought by the identity of the princess? Well, through getting along in the past few days, she is actually more like a girl who has not been deeply involved in the world, arrogant and willful, and there is no wind and dust on her body.

Besides, is it important that glory and wealth can have a life?

Judging from the tone in which she usually mentions King Huai, she has no feelings for the titular husband........ Well, she sometimes spends her time in a daze at night, showing a negative, pessimistic attitude........ Is she desperate for a fate that you can't resist? What a miserable woman.

Xu Qi'an went on the road in the night, walked around the city for a long time, and finally stopped at the door of a green building called "Yayin Building".

As mentioned above (Chapter 21), its specifications can be judged by the suffix of the green building, and the first and second class green buildings are mainly "courtyards, pavilions, and pavilions".

The third and fourth class green buildings are mostly named after "buildings, classes, and shops".

"Yayin Building" can only be regarded as a middle and lower class green building, but in a small county like Sanhuang County, it is probably the highest standard green building.

The woman in the colorful dress and skirt greeted her at the door, smiling and smiling.

The secret son of the watchman is a seafood merchant in Yayinlou, and his name is Cai'er.

The shadows of the watchmen are all over Dafeng, three religions and nine streams, and there are all professions, so that they can collect intelligence in an all-round way.

Before leaving the capital, Wei Yuan gave Xu Qi'an a list with the contact information, names, and information of the secret sons from all over Chuzhou.

"Yo, this master, please inside, please inside. ”

When Fang Fu stepped into the hall, an old bustard greeted him, and his vicious gaze swept Xu Qi'an all over his body, dressed ordinarily, but his appearance was handsome.

Appearance is still secondary, the most important thing is that the purse around the waist is swollen, high-quality customers!

The bustard is enthusiastic on the surface, but in fact he is a little restrained, because he does not know the rank of the other party, so the degree of enthusiasm is a little uncertain, and he is afraid of accidentally annoying the guests.

At this time, he saw Xu Qi'an open his arm.

In the green building, this is to signal the bustard to hold his arm to show closeness.

At first glance, it's an old color batch......... The old bustard's face with heavy makeup smiled, as if he saw his family, eagerly held Xu Qi'an's arm, and said delicately:

"Official, you sit here first, drink tea, and the slave family will pick a few handsome sisters for you........."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Qi'an waved his hand and interrupted, "I'm here to find Cai'er." ”

"Oh, it's unfortunate that you're here, Cai'er has a guest, can you take a look at other girls?" the old bustard's smile remained unchanged.

"I just want Cai'er. Xu Qi'an took off his purse and threw it to the bustard.

"This ......"

The old bustard led Xu Qi'an to the second floor with an embarrassed face, but he smiled in his heart, compared to the silver of white flowers, what are the rules?

In the Qinglou, there are too many examples of fighting for a girl, and fighting is not a problem, but it is a big deal to blow out the troublemakers. Of course, the boom is for those who have little money, or no background.

The two came to the door of a room, and there was the sound of men and women doing errands, and the sound of the bed "creaking".

Xu Qi'an kicked open the door, alarming the men and women in the room, only to see an obese middle-aged man on the bed, pressing on a delicate and gorgeous woman.

The man looked at the door with a frightened face, and then looked furious about killing, and shouted, "Get out." ”

It was the gorgeous woman, whose eyes lit up when she saw the handsome young man.

Don't be angry....... Well, this kind of thing is something that a man would be furious about. Xu Qi'an strode forward, put on a jealous posture, took the man off the bed, and beat him up.

"Brother, brother, have something to say........"

The man was punched and kicked twice, and when he noticed that the other party's strength was terrifying, he knew that he was not an opponent, and decisively begged for mercy and confessed.

"Get dressed and get out. Xu Qi'an scolded.

The man hurriedly put on his underwear and underwear, then grabbed his coat and pants, and fled in a panic.

The old bustard, who was standing at the door of the room, cast a questioning look at Cai'er on the bed, who shook his head slightly.

She didn't know the handsome man.

The old bustard was also too lazy to care, with a smile on his face, and said, "Don't disturb the two of you to spend the Spring Festival together, Cai'er, and serve the guests well." ”

With that, close the door.

Xu Qi'an sat down at the round table, his hearing zoomed in, listening to the footsteps of the old bustard in the distance, and then the sound of stepping on the wooden staircase.......

Cai'er sat up, revealing her fair upper body, her face was still red, and she said with a smile: "Little Xianggong, what are you waiting for, the slave family is waiting in bed in a hurry." ”

As she spoke, she looked at the handsome and strange man.

For her, the change of the man on her body from an old man with a big belly to a handsome guy with top skin is a good thing for pie in the sky.

Xu Qi'an, who had confirmed that there was no abnormality around, stared at Cai'er and said leisurely: "Tsing Yi attendant." ”

With four simple words, the face of the woman on the bed changed greatly, and she lifted the quilt and got out of bed in a panic, knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "There is no regret in a hundred deaths." ”

That's right....... Portraiture is also interested in ........ Xu Qi'an bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "Get dressed, the official has something to ask you." ”

Cai'er restrained her coquettishness, picked up the Luo skirt on the ground and put it on her body, and then began to put on her small clothes, and after a while, she was neatly dressed.

This woman who is ostensibly dusty, but is actually a secret child, Ying Ying gave a salute, stared at Xu Qi'an, and said, "My lord, can I take a look at your waist card?"

"Yes. ”

Xu Qi'an took out the waist card that belonged to her and put it on the table, the waist card was silver-plated, the back was a change of anti-counterfeiting pattern, and the front was engraved with the word "Xu".

Cai'er pursed her lips, moved her gaze from her waist card to Xu Qi'an, looked at him with a look of adoration, and asked, "You, you are Xu Qi'an Xu Yingong?"

Xu Qi'an smiled: "You know me?"

"Of course I know, if you don't even know that the yamen has a young genius like you, then the slave family's ability to collect intelligence is too low. ”

Cai'er's face was excited, and she said: "I know everything about you, you are a great poet, you are like a god, in the year of Jingcha, the capital was stormy, and it was all up to you to turn the tide, which calmed down the turmoil."

"I also know that when you defeated the Buddha and Arhat in the capital, and when you were in Yunzhou, you single-handedly resisted tens of thousands of rebels, and your reputation was ........"

Xu Qi'an's smile froze.

Really, who is blowing me? Has it all been spread to the north, and in the eyes of a truly knowledgeable master, I have become a complete laughing stock, right?

"Ahem!"

He coughed and said, "Don't gossip, let me ask you, how is the northern border recently, there is a large-scale war. ”

Cai'er shook her head: "Although the barbarians have invaded the border passes, they are all small groups of cavalry to plunder, robbing the east for a while, and the west for a while." If there is a large-scale war, the people will flee south, and it will inevitably pass through Sanhuang County, and the slave family will not be unaware. ”

Xu Qi'an nodded, and asked again: "Are there any strange phenomena in various places, for example, there are suddenly large-scale disappearances." ”

Cai'er frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The slave family has not collected the corresponding information....... However, after you reminded me, the slave family remembered one thing, which was very strange. ”

Xu Qi'an raised his eyebrows, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"A while ago, the slave family received a guest, an old man with his own caravan, who sold goods all over Chuzhou all year round. That time he drank too much wine, and he complained that Xikou County and the three counties under its jurisdiction were blocked by officers and soldiers for some reason, and the official roads were all closed.

"He had to run for nothing, and he ate horses and chewed all the way, and lost a few hundred taels of silver. ”

Xu Qi'an tapped his fingers on the table, "Where is Xikou County?"

Cai'er Shili said, "Wait a minute. ”

She pulled out the box from under the bed, and at the bottom was a map of Kanyu, took it out, spread it out on the table, and pointed to a certain place: "This is Xikou County." ”

Xikou County is in the westernmost part of Chuzhou, close to the territory of the Buddha Kingdom in the Western Regions, and it is the boundary of the Western Regions after Xikou County, so it is named.

Seiguchi-gun does not share a border with the north.

"It is impossible to fight over there, unless the northern barbarians take a detour, but the Buddha Kingdom of the Western Regions will not take advantage of it....... In that case, why do you want to block Xikou County?"

A bold guess surfaced in Xu Qi'an's heart.

He nodded quietly and said, "What else do you have to add?"

Cai'er said: "I don't know outside, but the defense force of Sanhuang County has been strengthened a lot, and there was no need for road guidance to enter and exit before, but now it is extremely strict." ”

Xu Qi'an smiled: "Is it the last few days?"

Who knew that Cai'er shook her head and said, "It was like this a month ago." ”

Hearing this, Xu Qi'an's brows suddenly furrowed.
