It was late at night, but in the central part of the city, there were still dim lights flickering.

If you look closely, you can see that under the dim candlelight, Xiao Xing is lying in front of the table, holding a brush in his hand and splashing on a roll of white paper, and there is a stack of books next to it, which is more than a few feet, and the words "Luzhou County Chronicles" and "Files" are printed on it.

At the moment, she is processing these materials so that she can grasp the intelligence of the entire Luzhou in time.

At this moment, a person outside the door pushed the door in, Xiao Xing didn't look up, and opened his mouth to ask: "Wang Zhixian, I don't know what you have to do when you visit late at night?"

"Qi Xiao is the master book, and I have something to tell you below. Hearing those bland words, a trace of anger suddenly crossed Wang Quan's face.

Since Xiao Feng captured Luzhou, the situation in Luzhou did not execute the royal power, but still made him perform his duties, but let Xiao Xing stay behind him in the name of the main book, and said that he would assist and help to pacify the people in the state as soon as possible. After all, neither Xiao Feng nor anyone else has any experience in governing a place, and if they rashly drive away an experienced official like Wang Quan, it will inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate and local turmoil, which is not a good thing.

It's just that after all, there is a Xiao Feng waiting above his head, so although Xiao Xing is the master book, the master and slave are transpositioned, so such a thing happened.

"What's the matter?"

Putting down the pen, Xiao Xing raised his head, his cold gaze seemed to be able to see that his mind was staring at the royal power.

Wang Quan secretly pinched a handful of sweat, lowered his head but didn't dare to look directly at the bright eyes, and replied: "Just now, a message came from the people, saying that in the north of Luzhou, especially near Xiangyuan and Licheng, there are adulterous people who have appeared, and so far thirteen women have been poisoned by him!"

The eyebrows that were like willow leaves were immediately tightened, Xiao Xing's cold eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Do you know who it is?"

"My subordinates don't know, I only know that the other party is strong, and not the people of the county government such as us can defeat it, but I am afraid that only ......"

The voice dragged on, Wang Quan lowered his head deeply, the muscles on his face were all stiff, but he didn't know whether he was afraid or didn't dare to look directly, the meaning in the words was not clear, and Xiao Xing had already understood what to do.

"In other words, do you have to let me go?"

At this time, Xiao Yue walked in proudly, a slender sword on her waist flashed with an inexplicable cold light, and a pair of phoenix eyes were as sharp as a scope, just a sweep on Wang Quan's body made his waist bend more and more, like a boiled lobster.

She is full of sharpness, she really wants to be who she is!

"It's just sister, after all, we don't know what the other party's strength is, if we rush over, I'm afraid that we will fall for the other party's tricks!"

Xiao Xing shook her head and said with some worry, she realized that she had actually worked to such an extent, and immediately stood up and packed up the file next to her, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were also reclassified into the study. Then she took the shirt handed over by Xiao Yue and put it on her body, it was the spring rain at the moment, and the night was naturally a little cold, if she didn't take care of herself, she was afraid that she might get sick.

It was because she was worried that her sister would stay up too late that Xiao Yue came over to send this shirt to ward off the cold, but she didn't expect to hear such a thing.

It's just that when she saw Xiao Xing's soft appearance, she couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said, "Then let the other party continue to plunder, but it will bring out our incompetence?"

"Sister, it's not unclear to you, now Shizun is leading the army to fight with Li Shouxian in the territory of Hengshui Town, and it is difficult to return to help in a hurry. At this moment, such news came, do you know if it is not the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain?" Xiao Xing was helpless, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Master has been fortunate for ten years, and he must not lose it because of the difference between my thoughts." ”

"Then what do you say? Do you just sit idly by? If that is the case, how should we face the people under the state capital? The master also often said that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat. If we disappoint the people of Luzhou, even if we defeat each other, what is the difference between that and those corrupt people?" Xiao Yue immediately exploded, and there was some impulse in her words.

For her, it is unimaginable to watch the people under her rule being defiled by those and not move without moving, it is like letting a cat and a mouse live together.

"Sister!"

Xiao Xing pursed his lips, looking like he wanted to say something, but finally disappeared and said, "I know that even if I persuade you, I can't persuade you, but you must ensure safety on this trip." At least some people need to be brought over, you know?"

"I'm alone, after all, the Red Phoenix Army is now all taken by the master to resist foreign enemies, your garrison here is empty, if you are being hoisted away, I'm afraid you will become a loner." What's more, with my means, how can I be defeated by those stupid people?"

Xiao Yue smiled and immediately turned to leave.

Xiao Xing lowered his eyes, his eyes couldn't help but be a little blurry, thinking of Xiao Feng, who was leading the battle in the distance, he was also worried: "It's the time of battle at this time, I just hope everything is fine!" After thinking about it, he still felt a little worried after all, so he found a spy and reported the situation to Xiao Feng, so as not to cause any situation.

........................

In the shallow riverbank, hundreds of horses stepped into the stream and walked forward.

I saw that on both sides there were more than a few feet of mountain rocks, on which there was lush grass, and occasionally one or two pine trees would rise on it. If someone looks down on this place from the sky, they can see that this place seems to be torn apart by something, and the whole ground is covered with criss-crossing ravines, more than several feet deep, criss-crossing one after another, making people feel confused and feel like they are in a labyrinth.

"Zhang Hongfan, tell me how long it will take to get through this Zezhou?"

I've been wandering around here all day, and it's a little annoying to see it.

Zhang Hongfan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "According to what I said, if we don't find a guide, I'm afraid we will have to turn around and go back." To be honest, he had been walking for so long that he felt dizzy, and he couldn't figure out what the terrain was like.

Probably because it is the junction of the Taihang Mountains and the Jianghuai Plain, and there are also Baishui River and Luoshui flowing through this place, so the terrain of Zezhou is quite fragmented, and there are ravines everywhere.

"Guide, are you asking me to ask those untouchables?" said with a snort, disdainful.

For a golden family like him, it was really unthinkable to condescend to hang out with some people.

Zhang Hongfan had no choice but to say: "Otherwise, otherwise it will be difficult for us to pass through this mountain and river." As for defeating the Red Phoenix Army, I don't think it's possible!"

"Red Phoenix Army?"

After chattering for a while, I couldn't help but tremble when I saw it, and then said, "In that case, let's rest for a while." As for you, go around and see if there are any mountain people living here. If so, then capture them and let him lead us deep into the mountains. If not, you know what to do!" There was a faint threat, but he couldn't help but think of the way he had fled in embarrassment when he was chased, and then he naturally became more and more annoyed and angry.

"I see, Your Highness!"

Zhang Hongfan immediately left according to the order and melted into the jungle, but in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but smile contemptuously: "If it weren't for you being of great use to me, do you really think that I would really follow you?"
