Suhu Lake is twenty miles east of Chihu Lake, and Suhu Lake is Pengli Lake twenty miles away in winter, and Jiangzhou City is sandwiched between these two large lakes.

According to Li Congwen, Jiangzhou is located at the junction of Chu, Yue and Wu, and the city is mixed, and the imperial court only has a virtual city patrol department in the city, which is one of the few chaotic state cities in Mingwu.

As for why the wooden town next to it is so peaceful, he said that it is because the wooden town is irrelevant.

The city walls of Jiangzhou City are not high or thick, but they occupy an extremely wide area.

There were two people standing at the gate of the city, judging from their clothes and conversations, they didn't look like people from the government, but more like people from the rivers and lakes.

A group of people entered from Beicheng along the river, and at a glance they could see the dizzying stalls on the roadside, and the shouting was endless.

The liveliness of this place is different from that of Ezhou City, and there is chaos hidden under the prosperity.

The luxurious carriage attracted the attention of many pedestrians, and Yang Xiaoyang clearly saw several of them.

Xiao Di was finally able to show herself in front of people, and at this time she sat between Yang Xiaoyang and Li Congwen, curiously watching the people in the city.

"Little lamb, little sheep, someone was glaring at me just now, why is he glaring at me when I'm so cute?" asked Xiao Di suspiciously.

Yang Xiaoyang explained casually: "He is blind, and he stare at everyone when he sees him." ”

Xiao Tu sighed and nodded.

As soon as the carriage entered the city two steps, a man suddenly rushed out of the side, dressed in a cloth suit, although neat, but his temperament alone was no better than those gangsters on the street.

He walked to the side of the car under Yang Xiaoyang's vigilant gaze, smiled and saluted a few people, "How many dare to ask the third son?"

Li Congwen took out a folding fan and nodded at him, "Who are you?"

The man smiled again and said, "In the lower patrol city, the Marquis of Wuqu Zhao." ”

Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at him again, a little incredulous.

Shouldn't the people of the City Patrol Division be upright and look at everyone as if the other party owes them money?

But Yang Xiaoyang was not Li Congwen, so he held back and didn't ask.

"What are you looking for me to do?" asked Li Congwen.

"The third son, it is not safe in this Jiangzhou city, so I will be ordered by Si Cheng to take the son to the city patrol division to live temporarily. ”

Li Congwen nodded, thinking about how to do this, when he heard Xiao Di ask, "Does the City Patrol Division have anything delicious?"

Qu Zhao looked at this cute little girl, thought of his daughter, and couldn't help but reply kindly: "Yes, naturally there is, although our Jiangzhou City Patrol Division is not a word in the city, it is still not a problem to get some food." ”

Li Congwen smiled and waved his hand, "Lead the way!"

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

Twenty-five years of Anyan, winter, southern Xinjiang.

Winter in southern Xinjiang is not cold at all, and the noon sun shines through the branches and leaves, leaving only mottled spots on the ground.

Yang Qi squatted on a tree and looked at the coalition camp not far away for a long time, took off the wine bag from his waist, took a sip, and quietly slipped down from the tree.

He walked to a remote corner of the camp, hidden behind a tree, and a foot soldier was patrolling back and forth not far ahead.

He had been staring at this person for a long time just now, and he was the only one nearby, which was the opportunity to infiltrate the enemy camp.

Yang Qi slightly exposed half of his head, and when he saw that the sentry had turned around, he hurriedly wanted to sneak in from the grass next to him.

However, the sentry looked back abruptly, not knowing what the wind was blowing.

Looking at each other, the sentry drew his war knife and pointed it at Yang Qi, and just as he wanted to speak, he felt that his eyes were dark.

Yang Qi shook off the blood stains on his sword, looked at the sentry who had lost his breath and pouted, "It's the first time to be a soldier, right?

Yang Qi dragged the corpse aside, took off his armor and helmet and put it on, and straightened the corpse against a tree trunk.

"Southern Xinjiang seems to bury people like this, you can just sit here, accompanied by green mountains and green water layers, and you can see the blue sky when you look up, which is not bad. ”

After Yang Qi finished speaking, he walked into the coalition camp in a dignified manner, looked left and right, and walked towards the place where the smoke was emitting.

On the way, I also encountered many patrolling sentries, but they only looked at him twice and didn't ask too much. However, Yang Qi noticed that their eyes were fierce, he smelled the aroma of the food, and guessed that he should be hungry.

The position of the Huotou Army in the army is a little strange, they generally don't go into battle if it's important, and they will only be dispatched when they are in danger, but it doesn't matter, the food in the army depends on them, and whether they eat well or not is also related to morale.

At noon, it was the busy time for the Huotou Army, and the three meals a day of the coalition army showed that the treatment was still quite good.

Yang Qi entered the camp of the Huotou Army and no one paid attention to him, at most he just looked at him a few times and said that he was not allowed to eat secretly.

Yang Qi rolled his eyes and took a plate of food out without anyone noticing.

He made a stroll to the left and right, and walked leisurely towards the largest tent, as if he were returning to his own tent.

There were two armor soldiers standing at the door of the big tent of the coalition army, both with serious faces, and when they saw Yang Qi coming with food, they raised their spears horizontally, and said coldly: "Put down the food, you can go." ”

Yang Qi said with a smile: "I have to add some condiments to this dish, I have to tell the general how to eat it." ”

The two armorers frowned, and just as they wanted to go in to report, they heard the general's voice from inside: "Let him in." ”

The two armoured soldiers immediately said no more and withdrew their spears.

Yang Qi walked into the tent and saw a middle-aged man in black iron armor sitting at the table looking at the map on the table, which marked the deployment of the coalition forces.

Yang Qi didn't know this general, so he put the plate aside, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, poured the poison on the meal in front of the general, and said with a smile in his mouth: "General, this way of eating is unique to southern Xinjiang, you hurry up and taste it." ”

The general didn't look rude, on the contrary, he was a little bookish, he glanced at Yang Qi suspiciously, "Why haven't I seen you?"

"Oh, what are you talking about, general, it's the first time I've seen you. ”

The general glanced at the food that was served, and his nose moved slightly, "Why do you smell of blood?"

Yang Qi took the food out of the tray and put it on the table, "The little one just caught a rabbit in the woods, and it was stained with blood when it was slaughtered. ”

The general looked at the two bowls of dishes, "What about the rabbit?"

"I ate it. ”

The corners of the general's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand to let Yang Qi retreat.

Yang Qi smiled and saluted, glanced at the map on the table a few times and left.

It's just that he was stopped when he was about to walk out of the tent.

"Wait a minute!"

"What else is the matter with the General?"

"Why doesn't the ingredient you just added taste good?"

"Oh, you have to eat that thing in your stomach to feel it. ”

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

Xiao Di wore a wide black robe, which stood out in the blazing sun. At this time, she was walking in the front, and said angrily: "Hmph, what about the city patrol division, there is not even a frozen pear!"

Yang Xiaoyang walked behind with two iron rods on his back, although it was hot, he didn't sweat at all, but he had to shiver from time to time when walking, it was because of the sting of his soul.

He held a thick black umbrella in his hand and put it on the top of Ju Yeqi's head, he was really afraid that she would be sunburned to death, and that death would be too embarrassing.

Although Li Congwen's sword intent realm is very high, it is okay to say that he has not practiced martial arts, so his forehead is already slightly sweaty when he walks in the sun.

The umbrella was ridiculously big, but Li Congwen didn't hide under the umbrella, Yang Xiaoyang asked him why, Li Congwen laughed at the time: "It's also a pleasure to soak in the sun." ”

Yang Xiaoyang hopes that the day he is killed by heat can say the same.

Xiao Tu looked east and west, and he looked at the stalls on both sides of the street, and as he walked, he unconsciously came to a relatively remote place in the city, where there were obviously fewer people.

"Ah, there's a tea shop over there, I want to drink tea!" Xiao Di suddenly pointed to a tea shop on the side of the street and said, she ran in after she finished speaking.

This tea shop is not big, and there are no people, so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, but the inside is very clean.

Xiao Di walked to the tea shop and found a place to sit down, and someone who didn't know whether it was the shopkeeper or the second child greeted him.

He is a middle-aged man, neither fat nor thin, with a simple smile, "Little girl, are you wearing so many hot days?"

Xiao Tu smiled and shook her head, the red hosta on her head flashed, "Uncle, I was born with a cold body, and I am not afraid of heat!"

Li Congwen just walked in and wiped the fine sweat on his head before he sat down, and shouted loudly: "Give this son a pot of good wine!"

Yang Xiaoyang put away the umbrella and sat down next to Xiao Di, seeing that this person looked honest and dressed plainly, and he only admired Xiao Di's hairpin, without the slightest greed.

The man smiled bitterly and said apologetically to Li Congwen: "Guest officer, this is a tea shop, only tea, no wine." ”

Li Congwen swept around the empty store and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper of this tea shop?"

"Yes, I'm alone in this tea shop. The man laughed.

"Four bowls of herbal tea. Li Congwen thought about it and said casually.

"Eh, wait a minute, guest officer. ”

After a while, the shopkeeper brought herbal tea, which was said to be tea, but in fact, there was no tea in it, but it was mostly brewed with herbs such as chicken bone grass and prunella grass, and the amount of materials used in various places was also different.

Yang Xiaoyang took a sip, the taste was not good, but the taste of the herbs was very strong, which showed that the shopkeeper used a lot of it.

Li Congwen also smashed his mouth, took out a folding fan and said while fanning the wind: "You are really an honest man, I haven't seen so many materials in the tea shop at the foot of the Son of Heaven, I don't know the name of the eldest brother?"

"Grass people Fan Feng. He smiled more honestly than Yang Xiaoyang.

Yang Xiaoyang drank a bowl of tea when he saw Xiao Tu gurgling, looked at her body carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no water leaking. Although it has been checked many times before, and Moyu has repeatedly assured it, it is still reassuring to take a look.

At this time, a boy walked in outside the store, gently put a food box on a table and trotted away, Yang Xiaoyang clearly saw him blushing.

Looking at Xiao Di, who is no stranger at all, I feel that the child is really a little shy.
