Qiantai left the territory of Julu, and Liu Boxi and his wife galloped on the official road in a carriage, and two days later, they arrived at the city of Xiaye.

Outside the city gate, the towering city gate, the huge 'Xia Ye' word script engraved on the city gate, and everything is as usual sixteen years ago. It's just that for Qiantai, the ancient city is still the same, but the people are different.

When Qiantai was watching from the carriage, he saw Liu Boxi's wife on the side of the carriage bolt pointing to the city gate and said, "Husband, look at what happened at the city gate, there are so many people gathered. ”

Liu Boxi said: "Let's go and see." Qiantai also looked away, but saw many people pointing to a sign in front of the gate of the city.

On the side, Liu Boxi drove the carriage to the front, and heard someone read: "'Xiaye Notice' Qianlai: Nearly 19 princes passed by, and they were ordered to go north, alone. A few days ago, it was lost in the south of the county, and I am sad. Tehao told the people, the prince is virtuous, and he should not suffer, so my heart is uneasy. Ordered to search and save the prince in Xiaye, and the county has a person who reports to the government office, and there is merit, and a reward of ten gold. ”

There is a clear portrait of a young and handsome painter on the notice, which is exactly the appearance of Qiantai before the change, and the expression between the eyebrows is exactly the same as that of Qiantai when he went to Beijing.

"Don't make a noise, I understand this person, and now is not the time to see this person. Qiantai immediately whispered.

"Drive~!" Liu Boxi hurried towards the city gate without delaying in front of the notice. When they came to the city gate, several garrisons stopped them and asked, "Who are you, do you have a way?" "Xiaomin is a Julu person, and he was the Xixi seat of Chenjun's guard before, and he was ordered to come to Xia Ye to serve this time, this is my paperwork. The soldiers read the paperwork and asked Liu and Qiantai in the car. Liu's eyes were full of panic, and Qiantai's notice was on the side, although her face was different, she was still weak and timid. Liu Boxi hurriedly said: "This is my inner brother and fellow villagers in my family, and they all came to Xia Ye together." "The Giant Deer Man, Yama, has seen a few sergeants. Qiantai also bowed in the carriage. These soldiers checked it carefully, and went to the road guide forged by Qiantai again, and after seeing that there was no problem, they let the three of them enter the city.

When he entered the city, Liu Boxi asked Qiantai where he could go? At this time, since Liu Boxi had agreed to take refuge in Qiantai, he naturally would not go to the Ye Mansion to take up any more duties, and he would give priority to Qiantai in everything.

"Let's go to find the god of Xia Ye City first, and I will send you and your wife to Youzhou through them. Along the way, I was chased, and you couldn't follow me. Qiantai whispered in the car, and the carriage quickly disappeared into the streets of the city gate.

After a few turns, Qiantai instructed Liu Boxi to drive to a compound in the east of the city according to the memory of the second Yuan God clone.

The courtyard gate is tall and closed, several big locust trees on both sides are gloomy and gloomy, and the courtyard is the courtyard gate of this family in the entire alley around, and the courtyard is remote and quiet.

"You go down and knock three times on the nose on the left and right doors. If someone asks you, you will answer that you are a relative from Lu County, Yuzhou, and you are here to visit your relatives. ”

"Yes, Your Highness. Liu Boxi went down and knocked on the door as Qiantai said. After hesitating for a while, someone asked, "Who is outside?" "We are relatives in Lu County, Yuzhou, and we are here to visit relatives, you open the door quickly." Whew, there was a whisper behind the door, and the crack in the door was opened with a squeak.

The door was opened by an old housekeeper in his fifties, and when the door opened, Liu Boxi, who was knocking on the door up and down, looked at the carriage again, and immediately pushed open the door and said cordially with a smile on his face: "It turns out that the second uncle of Yuzhou is here, you guys come quickly." Liu Boxi nodded, didn't say much, turned around and pulled the carriage into the compound. The old housekeeper in the back looked out of the door again, and when he saw that there was no one outside the courtyard, he hurriedly barred the door inside.

Liu Boxi pulled the carriage into the courtyard, but saw several strong men walking out of the living room in the courtyard, wearing military uniforms. First, a middle-aged man asked, "Who are you?"

"We are ......" Liu Boxi opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, looking at Qiantai in the carriage, he was really worried that His Highness had taken the wrong place and broken into a dangerous place.

saw Qiantai lifting the curtain and jumping out of the carriage in the carriage, and in the back carriage, there was still Liu Shi sitting in front of the door looking timidly. Everyone looked at Qiantai, at this time Qiantai had recovered his appearance, handsome appearance, although he was dressed in an Orion suit, but he also looked heroic and noble.

Qiantai said: "I am Jixian Hou Qiantai, passing through Xiaye, through your and other gods' guidance, I need help now." ”

When the member heard that Qiantai claimed to be the nineteenth prince Qiantai, his face was shocked, and then he looked at Qiantai's face carefully, but it was not exactly what was pasted on the outer wall of the city. The man was shocked, welcomed Qiantai into the hall, and talked carefully.

It was really too frightened, and the nineteen princes who had been searching for the government outside suddenly ran to him. The stronghold here is very hidden, and it is the center of the Chenghuang belief in Xiaye hidden stronghold, and it is impossible for outsiders to know about it. But the nineteen princes were able to find here, and they must have been guided by the god of the city god. A few people in the temple of the city god in Xia Ye here were shocked very much, and carefully verified.

As soon as Qiantai entered the hospital, he showed his identity to make these people believe in himself. As for his whereabouts being leaked, Qiantai was not worried. However, all the believers and temple blessings here have been screened by the second doppelganger in terms of faith, and they are all the most devout believers, and they are the most unwilling to betray their faith as evil and dedicate the news of Qiantai to the government.

On the same day, the three of them were arranged in the compound and enjoyed a rich and comfortable food and lodging.

In the afternoon, in the backyard, several temple ministers and military guards led by the members of this courtyard gathered together to discuss the affairs of the prince and the young couple.

"The Nineteenth Prince came to us at this time, saying that he was instructed by the City God God, and it is obvious that this matter was nodded by the City God God, and he asked us to help him avoid the search for this 'money thief'. "It was the man who spoke, surnamed Feng's temple zhu. These temples here have all surnames, and they are all from some knowledgeable people among the poor, forming the grassroots of this belief in temples.

"But we haven't received an oracle recently, whether this person is the nineteenth prince who went to Beijing, it's hard for us to be sure?"

"It is indeed the Nineteenth Prince, exactly the same as the one on the portrait, and the spirit is also godlike. As you all know, this is the most important point of contact for our faithful, and it is impossible for outsiders to find it. ”

Someone else turned around and said: "I heard that the nineteenth prince was convicted in Shangjing, and was demoted to Jixian County, Youzhou by Na Zhiyuan, and went to the fief along the way, but was chased by many people behind his back." ”

"And now the 'money thief' in Ye City is sticking up and offering rewards everywhere in the city, just to search for His Highness's whereabouts. I heard that Yuan Shao, the county guard of Liaodong County in Youzhou, who was chasing the prince, was in the Taishou Mansion, and this 'money thief' searched for the prince, and he must have reached a deal with this person to murder the prince. ”

"The important thing is what we should do now, and now that we have not received an oracle, how much we should do to help this prince. Do you have a countermeasure" At this time, Feng Miaozhu interrupted everyone and asked.

Someone tried to say it, and said, "I think, I have to ask His Royal Highness the prince what he wants in the evening, and then we will make a decision." ”

This statement was immediately agreed by most people, and everyone said: "Yes, but we must first ensure the safety of this highness, since the prince came here under the guidance of the gods, although we have not received the oracle, but the prince's safety needs to be guaranteed." ”

Another person added: "We must immediately send someone to the government to keep an eye on it, and we need to be careful not to let people find here." "Yes, yes, yes... We are now going our separate ways, and we have to inform all the temples in the city to get ready. "Each has his own opinion.

At noon, Feng Miaozhu invited Qiantai and Liu Boxi to dine in the living room.

In the living room, during the banquet, Feng Miaozhu tried to ask: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what do you need to come to this remote place for us." ”

"Feng Miaozhu, I came here rashly this time, causing you inconvenience and disturbing a lot, and I ask for your understanding. "Qiantai Road. Qiantai is also in front of Liu Boxi and Feng Miaozhu, covering up the fact that he is actually the master of this faith. The secrecy in this is the greatest privacy of Qiantai's pursuit of the road of restoration and cultivation in this life. "It doesn't matter, Your Highness is a person who has been instructed by the Divine Venerable, and it is naturally a blessing for us to help Your Highness. "The temple celebrant bowed his hand to the god of the city god. He also said: "Your Highness has also heard of it, Your Highness is a good prince for the people, but unfortunately he was demoted to Youzhou by the emperor, which makes me feel unjust for such poor people." Your Highness is here today, but if you need it, if you want to, we will do our best, not only to help Your Highness, but also to repay Lord Chenghuang for his kindness and protection to us. ”

Seeing this, Qiantai pretended to be grateful and said, "Since this is the case, Tai is here to thank you." He also said: "Tai is alone and doesn't have much to take care of, but now that Mr. Liu Boxi is accompanying me, I will be in danger all the way north, and I am even more afraid that Mr. Liu will suffer with me, so I want to ask everyone in the city to help escort Mr. Liu and his wife to Jixian County, so as to find your place." ”

"I see, Your Highness, please rest assured. Mr. Liu and the others, we will be able to send them to Jixian County. That Feng Miaozhu was relieved. Later, this Feng Miaozhu hesitated during the banquet, and then gritted his teeth and said to Qiantai: "Your Highness is alone, and the small people can also send some guards to assist Your Highness and stop those thieves." ”

"But you don't have to ......," Qiantai said. The two talked for a while, and together with Liu Boxi, they talked about the current situation in Xiaye, as well as Tai Shouqian's search for him, etc. Qiantai also knew that at this time, Yuan Shao and the others were in the Taishou Mansion in Xia Ye City.

After Liu Boxi's affairs were explained, that night, a few or a dozen important people in the temple in Xia Ye City came here to discuss the preparations for Liu Boxi and his wife.

These temple wishes were almost discussed in the compound, and most of them left, and some people began to prepare for Liu Boxi's move to other places.

But after most of the temples left the compound, that night, martial law suddenly began in the city of Xiaye, and the whole city was searched. The most suspicious thing is that the City God Temple, as well as many devout believers, have been seriously investigated. This move of the government immediately alarmed those who had just returned to the temple, and soon, uneasy people came here to report the news.
