This scene, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Guan Qing, who were following behind them, were naturally overjoyed. The person Guan Qing is happy about is the person she loves. As the saying goes, there is something in the eyes of a lover, but as long as the two fall in love with each other, no matter what the other party does, it is very charming. Guan Qing is like this at the moment, but she just looks at Xi Zhen's back stupidly, unable to extricate herself.

And Huang Zicheng, the person Qi Tai cares about, has others. Both of them looked at the two in front of them with a smile and nodded their heads. Qi Tai said loudly: "Brother Zicheng, what do you think of the two of them?"

Huang Zicheng smiled and said, "Brother Shangli, isn't what I think exactly what you think in your heart?" Then the two looked at each other and smiled, Huang Zicheng continued: "These two people, one is generous and benevolent, the other is chic and free but does not lose righteousness, one is literate and one martial, and they complement each other. ”

"It's just a pity" Although Qi Tai is anxious, he is also coarse and fine, and said: "He is used to the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid he has no intention of being above the court, this is a loss for the court!"

Huang Zicheng answered: "Maybe this is already the best, although the fly in the ointment, the regulations of the imperial court can't restrain the heart of a prodigal son.

Qi Tai agreed with Huang Zicheng's statement very much, so he did not speak. While talking, everyone walked to a tea shed, and the crowd came and went on the official road, so the business of the tea shed was also exceptionally good. Zhu Yunwen felt very happy when he saw this scene, and in his heart, maybe the life of the people is like this, living in peace.

So they dismounted in the tea shed and rested for a while before going. The store is opened by a middle-aged couple, the two of them are busy, making tea and pouring tea, and they are very happy. When there were a few people in the store, Zhu Yunwen called the shopkeeper, took out an ingot of five taels of silver and put it on the table, and talked with the shopkeeper by the way.

"Shopkeeper, how long have you been opening a shop on this official road, and has business always been so good?

When the shopkeeper saw five taels of silver, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and seeing that these guest officers were extraordinary, he didn't dare to slack off, so he replied: "Back to this guest officer, the small one has been opening a store here for nearly three years. It's just that since the beginning of spring this year, for some reason, there have been an unusually large number of guest officials who have come and gone to rest in the past few days, and they have all been generous. The shopkeeper smiled, slowly approached the silver with both hands, picked up the silver in an instant, and then said with a smile on his face: "There are no villages and towns around here, and the nearest town is more than 20 miles to the west." ”

Zhu Yunwen felt even happier in his heart, thinking that there were also people who opened shops and rested on the side of the official road that deviated from the villages and towns, presumably the world was mild, and the people had a way to make money.

The shopkeeper continued: "Guest officer, this is still the boundary of our Jinling territory, more than thirty miles to the south, which is under the jurisdiction of Ningguo Mansion, dare to ask if the guest officials are also going to Ningbo Mansion?"

When Qi Tai heard this, he asked: "Shopkeeper, we just accompany our young owner to come out to play, and go back to the boundary of Jinling, after all, after Jinling, it is not our territory." Why would the store think that we were going to Ningbo?"

The shopkeeper took the silver, and the words gradually increased, and he said with a smile: "There are unusually many pedestrians who come and go to rest these days, far more than ten times as usual" The shopkeeper gestured with his hand and opened the chatterbox: "When the little one was pouring tea for many guest officials, he vaguely heard that he was going to Ningbo Mansion, so he thought that all the guest officials were also going to Ningbo Mansion." "The mouth of the shopkeeper is loose, whether it is hearsay or witnessing, he can always say it unusually expressively.

Xi Zhen frowned, and asked worriedly: "Dare to ask the store, you just said that there are many people who suddenly go to Ningbo Mansion?"

The shopkeeper still maintained a smile and said: "Returning to the guest officer, yes, that person is one after another, there are housekeepers, and there are many strange-shaped Jianghu people. The small one opened a store to make a living, ushered in the send-off, and still knew a few people from the rivers and lakes. I see that all the guests are magnificent, and their appearance is extraordinary, and they must be big names in the capital, do you know what is going on in this Ningbo Mansion? If you can tell the small ones, the small ones can also show off to other guest officials, and the small ones are grateful. ”

Xi Zhen glanced at everyone, thinking of what the second senior brother said, and thinking of what the teahouse owner said, he couldn't help but worry, the more people there are, the more dangerous it is for Zhu Yunwen, and everyone in the rivers and lakes is mixed. Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said, "We don't know what's going on, and we don't want to go to see this bustle. Then he got up and led the people away.

The store had five taels of silver in vain, and he was very happy, and hurriedly bowed down to send it off.

Let's say that not long after Xi Zhen left, a group of guests came to this teahouse, and it was the guest Zhuang Qiu Lie, Yuan Hui, Dao Yan and others. As soon as the group sat down, they began to discuss.

"Now, the news has also been sent, everyone has gone to Ningbo Mansion, what should we do next? I don't know what the young master thinks?" Yuan Jue looked at Dao Yan and asked.

"Gao Jian can't talk about it, as the saying goes, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, and we are the yellow finch behind, the enemy does not move, I don't move, as long as I follow them well, the other party moves, we can take the initiative, so, twice the result with half the effort, I don't know what Brother Yuan thinks of this strategy?"

"Wonderful, wonderful, the guru is worthy of being the master's wise man, and the action is naturally extraordinary, so we will act according to the guru's policy, and we will definitely succeed. Yuan Heng stroked his palms and smiled.

Dao Yan responded modestly while taking a sip of tea, and the corner of his eye looked at Qiu Lie at the same time. I only vaguely saw that this Qiu Lie was absent-minded, as if he had something on his mind.

Here, Xi Zhen was thinking all the way: such a big event happened on the rivers and lakes, but he didn't see anyone from Kezhuang. Xi Zhen has been paying attention to Laikezhuang. Because he has always felt that this time the map of Cixi Yunshan was leaked on the rivers and lakes, and it was very likely that it was done by Laikezhuang. It's just that he still hasn't figured out what role Laikezhuang played in this incident. Moreover, now that he is in the light and the guest village is in the dark, he has to be cautious. Therefore, since coming out of the teahouse, Xi Zhen has been silent, and Guan Qing, who was following him, didn't dare to say anything when he saw this, so he kept following silently.

At this moment, He Xiong caught up from behind and said to Xi Zhen: "Stinky boy, I have a bad premonition, we seem to be being watched. ”

Xi Zhen was excited, and hurriedly asked, "Why do you feel like this?"

He Xiong shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can't say either, I don't know if you have paid attention to the two people who are facing us head-on, it stands to reason that they should be in the same direction as us." And I always feel that when they pass us, their eyes are always on you and Your Highness. Of course, maybe I'm too careful. ”

Xi Zhen recalled for a moment and said: "When you say this, I also think it should be so, we are a group of seven people, only me, you and Huang Gui can protect the others, in order not to have an accident, you and Huang Gui Dao are behind the team as protection, and if necessary, they can also be broken." ”

He Xiong put on a very reluctant expression, but he also had to agree, and muttered: "Okay, okay, anyway, I'm doing this dirty work." As he spoke, he went back to the back.

Xi Zhen was still not at ease, so he turned back to Huang Zicheng and Zhu Yunwen and said: "There is one thing, I have always been relieved, we have traveled this time, but there is only no news of the guest village, I think, this is very abnormal, in order to make sure that Qingmei and I go to the front of the team, Lord Huang, Lord Qi and His Royal Highness are in the center, He Xiong, Huang Gui is the queen, what do you think?"

Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and Zhu Yunwen are all powerless scholars, and they also know that they need their protection at this time, so they unanimously agree. So the group immediately continued to walk towards Xuancheng.
