A few days later, the convoy entered the Handan territory.

The young lady played the flute and saw the city wall of Handan from a distance, and it was really tall and thick. Looking at the scope of the circle, the city is about 12 square kilometers.

When he arrived at the city gate, Ma Ao stepped forward to say a few words to the guards and was about to let him go, but he saw two small men running in the city gate, ran to the carriage, and asked, "The adults in the car are Yan Guo Erudite?"

"Exactly," said the groom, "exactly." ”

When a servant heard this, he took out a bamboo slip from his bosom, handed it to the groom, and said, "Please also transfer it to Master Polymath, my master has an invitation." ”

The groom took the bamboo slip, opened the curtain, and handed it to the young lady. The young lady took the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it, and wrote: "Jin merchant Yin Hui greeted: I heard that the adult envoy Zhou was passing by Handan, and I specially invite the adult to come to the house to rest." ”

The young lady asked, "How did Yin Hui know that I was coming?"

The little servant said: "Two days ago, the head of the family received a letter from Yan Guo, saying that the adult envoy Zhou was going to pass through here, and the head of the family sent me two to wait here to greet him. ”

The young lady said, "This itinerary has been arranged, you wait and go back first, reply to your master, and then go to the house when I return." ”

The two little servants bowed and said, "If you are so slow, I will tell you what you said." ”

After the two of them went, Ma Ao led the crowd to continue walking.

The young lady saw the pedestrians walking in the streets of Handan City, wearing fox fur and mink fur, and thought that it was really a rich place.

After walking more than three miles to the door of Zhao's mansion, Ma Ao came to the lady's carriage and said, "My lord, please stay for a while, I will go to the head of the family." ”

The young lady said, "It's hard work." ”

Ma Ao walked to the door and said a few words to the doorman, and shouted at the four knights to enter the door to report.

About a moment after entering, a person walked out of the door, followed by Ma Ao.

The young lady saw in the carriage that this person was dressed in fox fur and fur, quite wealthy, so she got out of the carriage with her bags on her back, and the person had already walked in front of the young lady, and arched her hands and said, "Zhao Wu, the doctor of the Jin Kingdom, has seen the adult. ”

The young lady bowed her hand and saluted back: "Yan Guo's erudite master Qingxiu has seen adults. ”

Zhao Wudao: "I have admired the name for a long time, but when I saw it today, I was really radiant and eye-catching." ”

The young lady said: "I have heard the name of the adult for a long time. ”

Zhao Wudao: "I didn't know that the adults arrived, so I waited for a long time, and followed me into the house." ”

The young lady said, "There is Master Lao leading the way." ”

The young lady followed Zhao Wu up the steps and entered the mansion gate, and the groom led the carriage and followed Ma Ao from the side of the horse road into the gate without mentioning.

Miss followed Zhao Wu around the shadow wall, a courtyard in front of her suddenly opened up, there are ear rooms on both sides, a total of eight rooms, more than a dozen main rooms in the front, at this time the courtyard is full of people standing in front of the room, among which there are four knights who came first, all of whom came to appreciate the rumored characters.

The young lady also looked over one by one, these people were all swords-worn ranger costumes, judging from the dress, most of them were rangers, and a few were Zhao Wu's doormen, a total of more than fifty people.

The young lady admired each other with the rangers as she walked, and suddenly saw a familiar face, the young lady wrote it down in her heart, but she didn't stop, and followed Zhao Wu to the second courtyard.

Entering the second courtyard, it is six large main rooms, there are three ear rooms on each side, there are fewer people standing in this courtyard, there are more than 20 people, looking at the dress is the housekeeper and maid in the house, Zhao Wu led the young lady to a main room in the middle, and said: "My lord, please come in." ”

The young lady stepped into the house, the two maids were inside, leading the young lady to a table, there were some fruit snacks on the table, the young lady put down her bags, knelt on the fox fur, Zhao Wu followed in, and sat opposite the young lady. The maids poured water, put the lacquerware on the table, and stood at the door.

Zhao Wu said: "It is an honor for the adults to come, and the disdain is full of splendor. ”

The young lady said: "Your Excellency is polite, and the contemptible people are very grateful. After saying that, he made a gesture.

Zhao Wu said: "Adults are tired of traveling, please use some fruit snacks." ”

The young lady said, "Thank you for your hospitality." After speaking, he picked up the fruit and took a bite, and asked, "The doormen of the Lord's Mansion have gathered, I don't know what is going on?"

Zhao Wu said: "There are monsters in Changping Mapo Mountain near Handan, and there are many contacts in Changping in Handan, and I, as the landlord of the two places, should help exterminate them." ”

The young lady said: "In this way, the rumors of Mapo Mountain are really well-founded?" The heart said that it is okay now, and there is no need to go to the village to inquire about the news.

Zhao Wu said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to verify that there are monsters in this Mapo Mountain, and there are already villagers in the villages under the mountain who have been victimized. ”

The young lady said: "I don't know where the monster is here, so vicious." ”

Zhao Wu said: "The sudden appearance of this monster, although there was an early warning, many of the livestock in the nearby villages were missing and died, and it has always been believed that it was done by fox marten, but there was a case of harming human life a month ago, which attracted attention." ”

The young lady said: "The contemptible envoy Zhou is about to pass by this mountain, I wanted to investigate, but I don't want the adults to have news here." ”

Zhao Wu said: "My lord is auspicious, he has the help of heaven, and everything goes smoothly to envy others. "This Zhao Wu had a bumpy life, he was almost wiped out, and after several struggles, he had the current scale, so he said so.

The young lady said: "The adults are self-reliant, have rich experience, and are also admired by contemptible. ”

Some people may want to ask Miss has been practicing in the cave mansion to reduce personnel, how did she know about Zhao Wu's past, Qingfengzi is famous, that is because after the young lady's physique has improved, she has entered the immortal stream, as long as she is not in the meditation, she hears the topic of interest within a mile, stands up her ears, concentrates and concentrates, and naturally she can hear it clearly.

Zhao Wu said: "But there is a way, who is willing to do that difficult thing." ”

The young lady said: "My lord has gone through hardships, and he will come to the bitter end, and he will have blessings." ”

Zhao Wu said: "Lord Xie Jiyan. ”

The young lady said: "The monster is vicious, why don't you mobilize the army to suppress it." ”

Zhao Wu said: "The king of Jin knows about this and makes me responsible, and has sent five thousand strong warriors into the mountains to encircle and suppress, but the monsters are cunning and nowhere to be seen, and now the army is still stationed in the villages." ”

The young lady said: "The monster is cunning, I don't know what the adults plan?"

Zhao Wu said: "The army moves slowly into the mountain, and it is difficult to find the traces of monsters, so I want to send a doorman ranger into the mountain to find it, and the army will assist in blocking the surrounding area." ”

These disciples are actually peasant refugees with some martial arts or other specialties, or they don't want to farm, or they don't want to become slaves, and they join the families of the gatekeepers, and if no one takes them in, they are gangsters.

Ranger is better, generally have land at home, but love martial arts, learning martial arts is expensive, not there is a saying that rich martial arts poor books, that is, learning martial arts costs money, want to save money to study, so once the farmers who learn martial arts feel that they are good, they have to walk around, visit the same friends to learn martial arts, improve their skills, this day outside running, than their own at home to learn martial arts more expensive, so once someone pays to invite the ranger out of the mountain, generally will not refuse, no money can not play anything. These rangers in Zhao Wu's Mansion were invited by the doorman to prepare to enter the mountain to suppress the monsters.
