After returning from the cottage, Wang Yi and Ma Shun and others led the Jinyi Wei people to the inn where the caravan was located, and happened to catch up with the caravan was packing up and preparing to leave.

For Wang Yi, who only lived in the same room once in the cottage, Shang Niang was very resentful, but after thinking about it, she thought about it a lot, after all, everyone was in danger on the mountain, but fortunately, she didn't receive any harm.

Looking at the merchant lady who walked into the carriage, Wang Yi sighed lightly and said nothing. Ma Shun looked at the two of them and stood there without saying a word.

"You want to go? ”

When Shang Niang heard what Wang Yi said, she nodded and shook her head again.

Wang Yi turned his head and looked at Ma Shun with puzzled eyes.

Ma Shun explained: "Our identities have been revealed, so we have found new guards for the caravan. ”

Wang Yi smiled dumbly and said to Shang Niang: "Have a safe journey." ”

Shang Niang's delicate body shook slightly, then turned around, and the caravan quietly left.

Back at the inn, everyone in Jinyiwei was sitting in the lobby, talking to each other, watching Wang Yi walk into the inn and get up one after another.

Wang Yi waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and then sat down beside Ma Shun and asked, "What did Chang'an say?" ”

Ma Shun flattered, "Master Lu said that we can leave immediately, and this time it took a lot of time. ”

Wang Yi took a sip of tea to relieve his heat: "Where are we going?"

Ma Shun took out a map from his bosom and slowly unfolded it, marking the large and small towns of Daming and Southern Chu.

"We have to pass through Yizhou, Wuzhou and various official roads, arrive at Tiannan Pass, and enter Nanchu from Tiannan Pass. ”

"What are we going to Nanchu for?" Wang Yi looked at the road map marked on the map, looking like this, it should be to go deep into the hinterland of Nanchu, what is this doing, to make such a big battle.

"Go and bring back a woman. ”

Wang Yi shouted in a lost voice: "Just for one woman, let so many of us go to death." ”

Ma Shun surprisingly did not stop Wang Yi, but raised his teacup, shook it, and laughed at himself: "Who knows, we can't guess the thoughts of the big names in the imperial court." ”

"All we can do is obey. ”

Wang Yi got up suddenly and pointed to the people present, "Except for the dozens of people who helped us leave before, then the twenty-five people present will all be sent to death." ”

"It doesn't have to be dead. ”

Wang Yi slapped Ma Shun's teacup with one palm, and said angrily: "Bullshit, isn't it necessary to be a shit, is the Wu hook of Nanchu an ornament?"

Ma Shun was not angry, Ma Shun touched his bald head with his hand, estimated that it should be worth a lot of silver, raised his head, looked at the angry Wang Yi, and said calmly: "I also know, but this is an order from Emperor Ming." ”

Wang Yi sat on the chair suddenly, everyone said that the royal was ridiculous, he didn't understand it in Youzhou before, and he didn't understand the death of Uncle Qi Wang and everyone in the Qi Palace, but now he clearly felt the absurdity of Emperor Ming.

The Jinyi Guards looked at the two adults who were still arguing just now, and now they were all sitting there without saying a word. One of them came out and came to Wang Yi and arched his hand: "My lord, we don't know that this is a death, but if there are a few of us who are good people before Jinyiwei." ”

"Today, there is an adult's righteous insistence, although we have no regrets in death, we only hope that when the time comes, the adults will be able to serve a few bowls of wine in front of our grave, and we will be content. ”

Wang Yi raised his head and looked at this old Jinyiwei, his face was a little relieved, his eyes revealed gratitude, but more helplessness.

Wang Yi said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Ma, when will you leave?" ”

Ma Shun stood up, looked at the south and said, "Now." ”

From the border of Xiangzhou and Yizhou into Yizhou, the road is not far, out of Guanshan Town, through Yizhou, Wuzhou, and then through Qinzhou, and finally came to the border of the Ming Dynasty, Tiannan Pass.

As the border pass between the Ming Dynasty and Southern Chu, Tiannan Pass is heavily guarded, and the general who guards the city is the one who went deep into the hinterland of Southern Chu, and under layers of obstacles, successfully killed the Southern Chu Emperor's uncle, the king of Southern Chu Yue, and then retired and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

For such a legendary general, Wang Yi naturally heard about it from Uncle Qi Wang, and he also sincerely yearned for it, under the leadership of Ma Shun's Jinyi Wei token, Wang Yi and Ma Shun met the general.

"I've seen General Guan. Wang Yi and Ma Shun greeted in unison.

Guan Tiannan waved his hand and said, "A few people don't need to be polite, what is the matter with finding the old man?"

Seeing Guan Tiannan so bold, Wang Yi also said without selling Guan: "General Guan, a few of us have the emperor's order to go to Nanchu, and I hope General Guan will make it convenient." ”

After that, Wang Yi waved his hand and motioned for Ma Shun to hand over the letter from Chang'an to Guan Tiannan.

Guan Tiannan's armor was not conducive to sitting down, so he simply stood there, heard what Wang Yi said, reached out to take Ma Shun's letter, and quickly agreed to the matter.

Everyone soon passed the Tiannan Pass, and it was they who stepped into the realm of Nanchu. Nanchu is located in the south, mountainous, beautiful mountains everywhere, small streams are all over the mountains, but close to the Ming Dynasty, so the big rivers are scarce, the mountains are clustered with peaks, the mountains are extended, there are few high mountains, most of them are only a few hundred zhang.

Wang Yi and Ma Shun and others dressed up as the sons of traveling families and their own slaves, but no one embarrassed them along the way, and they successfully entered a city in Southern Chu.

Yongchang City.

The border between the Ming Dynasty and Southern Chu is much more open than the border between the Northern Qi and the Ming Dynasty, there are merchants who travel between the two countries, there are also gentlemen who travel with their disciples, and there are disciples of families like Wang Yi who want to see the mountains and rivers of the two countries, and there are naturally countless servants around them, which is also reasonable.

After walking for a long time, Wang Yi and others walked into a tea stall to take a short rest, the tea stall was not big, and there were not many people, only Wang Yi and others and two plainly dressed men next to them.

"Hey, have you heard, the young city lord of Jianzhou City has taken a fancy to the daughter of the leader of the Qingshui Gang, the number one gang in the city, and is now forcing the Qingshui Gang to hand over this woman. ”

"And this kind of thing, the Qingshui Gang is a large gang, and the young city lord of Jianzhou City can easily get it. ”

"Alas, it's not his father, it's our uncle. ”

The conversation between several people attracted the attention of Wang Yi and the others, because the woman they were looking for was the daughter of the leader of the Qingshui Gang in Jianzhou City.

Wang Yi and Ma Shun glanced at each other, and the latter nodded. Wang Yi stood up and came to the tea table of the two people next door.

"Both, can you elaborate on what you just said? ”

The two of them looked up at Wang Yi, who looked curious, and asked, "Who is Xiaoyou?"

Wang Yi sighed and arched his hand: "Xiaosheng Wang Yi, a person from Guangjia City, because he yearns for the scenery of mountains and rivers, he takes his servants to play in the mountains and rivers, but when he heard the conversation between the two, he felt quite interesting, so he came to ask the two seniors." ”

The two of them suddenly realized, it seems that another loser came out to spend the family's money and came to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Wang Yi looked at the little tea left on the two tables, and found the shopkeeper, "Little Er, come to a pot of good tea." ”

"Very well, guest officer. ”

Seeing that Wang Yi was so generous, the two no longer concealed it, and spoke generously.

"The city lord of Jianzhou City used to be very dilapidated, only his sister depended on him, but he didn't know how to enter the palace, and he was very favored in the palace, and he was named a noble concubine a few years ago, so his status is rising. ”

Another person said with some envy: "People's lives are good, we can't compare." ”

"Well, if it weren't for his aunt, he would have died countless times if he gave birth to a son. ”

The man continued: "The city lord of Jianzhou City didn't know what he did a few years ago, and he was named the city lord, and now the young city lord is even more lawless, relying on the power of his family, bullying the people, and doing all kinds of evil in the fish and meat township. Fortunately, the Qingshui Gang was born, and the cultivator of the gang leader Xiao Tianfan in the Star Monarch Realm shocked their father and son, and only then did they have a short period of peace in Jianzhou City. ”

"Who said no, some time ago, the gang leader Xiao Tianfan was critically ill, and the gang leader's daughter Xiao Wenxuan was ordered to take over the Qingshui Gang in danger, but without the deterrence of the old gang leader, it was not as good as before. ”

"Now that the young city lord has taken a fancy to Xiao Wenxuan again, the city lord has personally come to the door to propose marriage, and there are many disasters and difficulties. ”

The two of them sighed again and again, shook their heads, and sighed at the sinister nature of time.

After hearing this, Wang Yi echoed a few times, then said goodbye and left, and sat back next to Ma Shun.

"It seems that our Xiao girl is not in a good situation. Ma Shun touched his bald head and sighed.

Wang Yi nodded, "But I'm more worried about whether she will go back with us." ”

Ma Shun smiled dumbly, this time the task will not be simple.
