Xiao Jinyan sighed and smiled bitterly, "It seems that my little apprentice didn't come for his master, but for the nameless gun, but unfortunately this gun was taken away before it was hot in my hand." ”

Yu Wenshuang asked, "What's the matter, you're distressed??"

Xiao Jinyan laughed, "The nameless gun is a sacred weapon of the Bloody Cloth Clan, and if the white tea is taken away, it can be regarded as a return to the original owner, what's the pity? What's more, this trip to the west is to find our Miss Yuwen, and now that she has returned with a beauty, it is not a trip in vain." ”

Yu Wenshuang smiled and scolded the poor mouth, her heart was full of joy, and she put all the unpleasant things in the back of her mind, she asked Xiao Jinyan, "Don't you read this letter?"

Xiao Jinyan said that everything was taken away, what was the use of reading it? Yu Wenshuang took the letterhead, opened it, and smelled a faint girl's fragrance.

She read word by word: "Stinky rascal master......"

When Xiao Jinyan heard this, he hurriedly snatched the letter, Yuwenshuang glanced at him, and said angrily, "What did you do to other girls?"

Xiao Jinyan wanted to cry without tears, he looked aggrieved, and said, "God swears, I didn't do anything!" Looking down at the letter, the white tea juanxiu font came into view.

"Stinky rascal master, the nameless spear is borrowed from me to save the clansmen, he will return it one day, I hope you and the little master are happy and happy, and strive to be a father as soon as possible." ”

At the end of the letter, a big grimace was drawn.

Xiao Jinyan thought to herself, this word is used indecently, it seems that she has to find an opportunity to teach her Zhongyuan dialect well.

Two days and one horse, walking together.

When passing through Liuli Lake, Xiao Jinyan deliberately avoided the tribe of the Kubang tribe, it was early spring, and the cold had not subsided, presumably they were still hiding in Liuli Lake for the winter.

Although the death of the brothers Ali and Buda had nothing to do with him, he did not know how to face the Kupangs, let alone Ali's only son, Little Manu.

From the mouth of the passers-by, it was learned that the Great Chu Emperor Chu Bieli collapsed from a violent illness, Chu Xian ascended the throne in a righteous manner, and the Spring of the Crescent Moon naturally became the queen. It's just that the Kubang warriors suffered heavy casualties, and Li Desert was also killed by Xiao Jinyan, and the price of this queen was a bit heavy.

Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang were not in a hurry, firstly, Yu Wenshuang's injuries had not healed and her body was too weak, and secondly, he cherished the days when he was alone with Yu Wenshuang and accompanied her to travel to Western Chu.

In early spring, on the grassland, the first green is not green, the flowers are not in full bloom, as far as the eye can see, it looks a little desolate, but there are beautiful people to accompany it, where is not the grassland?

The two walked and stopped, or passed through the tribe, or passed through the village, or slept in the mountains and forests, Xiao Jinyan made great progress in martial arts, sometimes went into the water to catch fish, sometimes went up to the mountains to hunt game, and after a month, Yu Wenshuang's injuries were almost healed, and his face was much rounder.

February was stunned, and the two came to the mouth of the gourd.

Xichu has withdrawn its troops, in the valley, there are still gravel craggy, a few heavy snow, a few light rains, the blood stains on the ground washed away, but on the stone wall a few zhang high, there are still blood stains, which seems to witness the miracle of the battle of Hengduan Mountain in Zhao Bar River that day.

It has been half a year since the country was separated.

When Xiao Jinyan stepped on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Hulukou restored its former prosperity, after the war between the Ming and Chu countries, with the accession of Chu Xian to the throne, the trade route with the Ming Dynasty was reopened, coupled with the stability of Yinyang City, half a year of more recuperation, and the vitality recovered a lot.

I don't know what happened to Zhao Lanjiang and Li Chengcheng in Yinyang? Xiao Jinyan thought to himself, when he returned to Yinyang City, he would definitely get drunk with them. This trip to the west, there is no danger, but it is also a life of nine deaths, and now I can return to the Ming Dynasty and reunite with my brothers, which is also considered a complete merit.

Hulukou, level.

Several officers and soldiers were yawning, and when they saw Xiao Jinyan and the others approaching, they shouted, "Stop! I see the two of you, you two are suspicious and sneaky, and at first glance they are the spies of Xichu!"

These officers and soldiers are accustomed to the common people, and they have a three-point backbone when they fight, but once they have leisure, they relapse into their old ways. If it is an ordinary person, scare him twice, give him the hat of an enemy spy, and not be scared half to death, at that time, it is time to collect money, buy roads, and buy roads, and the way is very good. What's more, the imperial court has recently sent a new guerrilla general, who has no other skills, and it is a must to make money.

Xiao Jin Yanjiu was in Dengwen Academy, knowing their tricks, he was not angry, and stepped forward with a smile, "Official, you see that our authentic Central Plains people and authentic Jiangnan accents, how can they be spies from Western Chu?"

He opened the bag on his back and was about to untie the burden, but the officer and soldier stopped him, "Slow, what are you doing, do you want to bribe the official master, tell you, the official doesn't eat this set, three or two or five taels of silver, but he can't send us away." ”

Xiao Jinyan smiled embarrassedly, "How can I have any silver on me, we picked some sour dates on the grassland, they taste good, I want to give them to the officials." ”

The officers and soldiers were disdainful in their hearts, and they wanted to send us away with a few fruits, and when we were asking for food, they said: "I see that you are not negotiable, and there is no doubt that you are spies." ”

Xiao Jinyan said, "It's really not. ”

"If you say no, it's not, so what's the use of us officers and soldiers?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded and agreed, "Yes, what's the use of you?"

The man shouted, "Presumptuous! ”

Just as he was about to make a move, he heard someone scolding, "What is the noise, I don't know that Master Su was busy with official business last night, and he was making up for sleep in front? If you delay him from sleeping, you will be whipped carefully." As he spoke, one of them walked towards him with a curse.

"What's going on?"

"Captain Qiao, I caught two spies from Xichu. ”

The captain surnamed Qiao said, "Is there a way?"

"After the inspection, they are all road guides surveyed and issued by the household department of the capital. In our Hidden Sun Realm, we can't touch the road guide of the individual household department for a year or two, and it is precisely because these two people are too realistic that we suspect that there is a problem. ”

The Ming Dynasty court was very strict in the management of the population household registration, if you leave the place of household registration, you must be guided by the local government, which records the personal name, household registration, appearance and other information. For people in the government or powerful people, it will be directly surveyed and distributed by the household department.

Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang, one was born in Dengwen Academy, and the other was the lord of Ningling County, and they were both guides of the household department.

Xiao Jinyan said, "Now the chief general of the Western Army, isn't it Zhao Lanjiang?"

The man said, "The name of the city lord of Zhao is also what you call casually?" He added, "How can his old man have the kung fu to take care of this kind of thing, and now here, General Su Zhengyuan Su from the capital is in charge." ”

Xiao Jinyan was surprised when he heard this, it turned out that he was still an old acquaintance, I heard that he was transferred to the six gates of the capital not long ago, how could he not see him for a long time and ran to Hulukou?

Thinking of this, he said, "It turned out to be Lord Su, it just so happened that I and Master Su are still old acquaintances, so it is better for you to say that an old friend surnamed Xiao has come to visit him." ”

Captain Qiao didn't want to agree, but seeing that this man looked confident, if he really knew Master Su, if he was lazy, the adult would blame him, and he couldn't bear it, so he ordered the two of them to wait here and report to Su Zhengyuan by himself.

Su Zhengyuan drank too much last night, slept until the afternoon tonight, and in a hazy moment, he heard a report that a friend surnamed Xiao was visiting, he searched his memory, and he didn't know any friend surnamed Xiao, and said, "I don't know, I don't want to see him, let him go."

”

Captain Qiao whispered, "My lord, the woman who came with him is a stunning beauty, if the adult really doesn't know that person, it's better for the little one to find a way to grab it, you see the poor country, and the lady is not here, there must always be a wide coat to warm the bed, right?"

When Su Zhengyuan heard that there was a beautiful woman, his eyes suddenly lit up, he stood up, and said, "Let's go, go and have a look." ”

When he came to the sentry guard, before he got close, Su Zhengyuan said in an official tone, "I heard that two spies were caught, and the official decided to interrogate them personally." ”

As soon as I walked to the door, I saw Xiao Jinyan and Yu Wenshuang, and my heart chuckled.

In Suzhou, Su Zhengyuan and Xiao Jinyan worked against each other, but they were tricked very badly and suffered a lot, but they were also blessed by misfortune, and they were transferred to the capital because of the noble man's eyes. It's just that he first entered the six doors with a dirt bun, the water in the capital is deep, he can't touch the doorway, he wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he offended the powerful and was found an excuse to be miserable, and then he saw that the capital couldn't go down, so he found a relationship and was transferred to the military department. It's been two months since I came, and I didn't adapt to the water and soil at the beginning, but over time, I also felt fun, and the emperor was far away, and slowly adapted to this skin.

He never thought that he would meet Xiao Jinyan here. This guy is simply his own broom star, not to mention, when he was in the capital, he heard that Dean Li handed over the supervision power of Dengwen Academy to him, and he didn't want to see him for a moment at this moment.

Su Zhengyuan turned around and left, "Forget it, this official has more urgent matters to deal with." ”

Captain Qiao said in a low voice, "That girl, I will keep it for the adults?"

Su Zhengyuan glanced at him, "If you don't want to die, you keep it for yourself." ”

Captain Qiao was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to thank my lord, Su Zhengyuan had already walked away. Suddenly, I heard Xiao Jinyan say, "Su Zhengyuan, Master Su, I haven't seen you for so long, and you run away as soon as you meet, it doesn't seem to be the way to be hospitable?"

Su Zhengyuan had to stop and said abruptly, "It turned out to be Brother Xiao, such a strong wind blew you here?"

When everyone saw that Su Zhengyuan knew them, they also got out of the way. Xiao Jinyan walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "From a seventh-grade official, he suddenly became a fifth-grade feudal official, my lord's speed is fast enough." ”

Su Zhengyuan said: "Brother Xiao, what about you, what kind of official is Wupin?" He saw Yuwenshuang behind him, and saw that this woman was beautiful, and couldn't help laughing, "Brother Yanfu is not shallow, I don't know what to call it?"

Xiao Jinyan smiled, "This is Miss Yuwen." ”

Su Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, and looked Yuwenshuang up and down. Yu Wenshuang regained a cold expression, and her eyes showed displeasure.

He said to Captain Qiao, "Why are you still stunned? Brother Xiao is my good friend, I don't know my hometown well, why don't you hurry up and prepare wine and meat, let's drink it!"

The two exchanged pleasantries and went to the barracks. As soon as he sat down, Su Zhengyuan made an excuse, left first, and called Captain Qiao over.

"Find a few veterans from Hulukou and ask them to secretly go to the camp to identify whether they are the ones wanted by the imperial court. ”

Captain Qiao took the order and left, and Su Zhengyuan said again, "Be smart, don't be discovered by them." ”

Before Su Zhengyuan came here, he had heard that after the battle of Hengduan Mountain, Yuwen Shuang, the daughter of Yuwen Tianlu, the Duke of Anguo, disappeared in Hulukou, and it was very likely that she went to Xichu. In the capital, he had also heard the gossip between Xiao Jinyan and Yuwenshuang, and now Xiao Jinyan brought a woman back, most likely the daughter of the governor of Yuwen.

After a while, those people came back to their lives, saying that it was the county lord of Ningling who disappeared when he was investigating the case in Hulukou half a year ago.

Su Zhengyuan was overjoyed in his heart, his opportunity had come.
