said that he would leave in three days, but in fact, on the second day, Li Dafu had already arranged the carriage, guards, and other affairs, and planned to let Li Xiuyuan set off immediately and go to the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As for why, Li Xiuyuan doesn't know.

But my father's words still have to be heard.

"Fluttershy, don't pack up so carefully, if you need something, you'll buy it when you get to the city. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Got it, young master. ”

Fluttershy's voice rings from inside the house, and she is soon seen trotting out with a small package.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "You don't want me to know what treasure you are hiding." ”

"No, it's nothing baby, it's just some clothes and the like, young master, let's go quickly, the master is already urging it." Fluttershy blushes.

Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, didn't ask more about the daughter's family, went to the backyard to say goodbye to her mother, and hurriedly left with Fluttershy.

At the door, the escort carriage was ready.

It seems that because of the attack of the Black Mountain King last time, and now it is a little too cautious, there are nearly 100 guards in the same group this time, and they are all wearing leather armor, carrying waist swords and bows and arrows, and the elite of the dart line who stayed in the county have been arranged.

"Father, there are too many guards, bringing so many guards is too provocative, we are not an official eunuch's house, if we go to the city and are talked about by some people with a heart, it will bring trouble. Li Xiuyuan said.

Although the imperial court can't help but encircle guards, bows and arrows, swords and sticks, but if such an elite cavalry is equipped, dozens or hundreds of sorties will definitely be suspected.

Although the Li family is wealthy, they do not have the power above the imperial court, so they can't make such a big show.

Li Dafu said with a smile: "Wu'er don't worry, these are all dart masters, after they go to the city, they will go to the dart shop to settle down, there is a dart shop opened by our Li family in the city, and it will not be noticed, but after you go to the city, you still need to leave a team of guards by your side." ”

"Father, the situation of Black Mountain Jun is just special, the thousand-year-old demon may not produce one for hundreds of years, and this one in Guobei County has been killed by us, and it will be difficult to come up with another one. Li Xiuyuan said.

"There are no absolutes in the world, it's better to be prepared, rest assured, it's just a journey along the way, and it won't bring trouble." Li Dafu said.

Li Xiuyuan felt that his father's words were also reasonable, so he didn't insist.

"The father, the child has departed. Getting into the carriage with Fluttershy, he says goodbye.

Li Dafu watched him leave with a smile.

The team traveled all the way and soon left Guobei County.

This time I came out, and I was going to come back, but I was afraid that it was going to be the end of the year, at least after I had to finish the Xiucai exam, which was the longest time I had been out of the country.

However, Li Xiuyuan's mood was not happy, on the contrary, it was a little heavy.

The last time I just went from Guobei County to Wangchuan Mountain, I encountered many demons and monsters.

This time I went to take the test for Xiucai, but I didn't know what would happen.

"Did I bring the Golden Spear and the Golden Goose Bow?" Inside the carriage, Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Don't worry, the eldest young master, bring it. One of the guards outside replied.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, but then he shook his head and smiled bitterly when he remembered something: "When others go to study for exams, they all bring pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and books and classics, but they have to bring guns and bows, where is it like a scholar." ”

But if you don't bring it, you can't do it, now every time he thinks of what happened a few days ago, the tragic death of a dozen guards around him, he doesn't feel good in his heart.

"I went to the city this time, and when I saw the city god, I must let the city god make the iron mountain a ghost, and I can't let them be unjust ghosts. ”

He secretly thought in his heart that he felt that this matter was more important than his own talent test.

Suddenly, he thought of something again, and said, "Where are you now?"

"The eldest young master, I'm going to the official road soon. "There are guards answering.

"Let's go to Xiahe Village first, I have personal matters to do. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, young master. The guard answered, and immediately changed course.

"Wait here, give me a horse, and I'll go into the village myself." ”

When everyone came to the entrance of the village, Li Xiuyuan ordered everyone to stop, and then walked out of the carriage.

"But the eldest young master, the master has instructed that you must be accompanied by a guard at all times. One of the guards said.

"Don't worry, I'm going to the village to do errands, and I'm not going to the wilderness, it's going to be fine, and I'll be back soon, if you don't see me come back in half an hour, go look for me again." Li Xiuyuan said.

At this time, someone brought a horse, and after taking the reins, he immediately turned over and ran towards Xiahe Village.

When the guards saw that Li Xiuyuan was just going to a nearby village, they didn't follow, after all, the eldest young master's orders could not be disobeyed.

Following the familiar road, Li Xiuyuan came to Xiahe Village.

Soon, he came to a stop in front of a house in the village.

"Yo, isn't this the eldest young master? Aunt Wang, who was sitting in the yard next door feeding chickens, saw Li Xiuyuan and immediately greeted him warmly.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "Come back to pick up someone, Du Chunhua is at home, right?"

"Yes, my sister is at home every day, and she doesn't go out much, just waiting for the eldest young master to pick her up. ”

Now there has been a lot of discussion in Xiahe Village, and they all know that Widow Du, no, Du Chunhua has a good life to follow the eldest young master, and now she is waiting for the eldest young master to send someone to pick up people.

No, not only did I come today, but I also came in person, which is not a shallow blessing.

Aunt Wang smiled and said: "The eldest young master just came, I'm afraid that my sister hasn't heard it yet, I'll shout to you, Chunhua, Chunhua girl, are you still in the house?

After shouting a few words, there was movement in the house.

The door slammed open, but I saw a delicate and fair-skinned woman, combed with a black braid, her face was slightly red, and she greeted her with joy and shame.

When she saw Li Xiuyuan standing at the gate of the courtyard, her heart suddenly jumped non-stop, and she was about to jump out of her throat.

"Great, big young master. Du Chunhua evened out her breath and said shyly.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Go, clean up, leave here with me, I said I was going to pick you up last time, because there was a little delay, and it was delayed until now, and it can't be delayed anymore." ”

"Huh. ”

Du Chunhua responded happily, ran to the house excitedly, and walked out with two packages in a short time.

Li Xiuyuan was stunned: "So fast?"

"Young master, how can you not be happy, Sister Chunhua has already packed up her things a few days ago, and she cleaned up again yesterday. Aunt Wang said with a smile.

"What's the matter, Wang, Aunt Wang, don't talk nonsense. Du Chunhua blushed and retorted softly.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Aunt Wang, today is a bit urgent, I was originally going to set up wine in the village and invite the big guy to have a meal, but now it's not good, another day, wait for me to come back another day, I will send red envelopes to each of you, thank you for taking care of Chunhua over the years." ”

"This, how embarrassing is this, they are all from the villagers, and it is normal to help each other a little, how can you receive the red envelope of the eldest young master. Aunt Wang said.

"Yes, just a little bit of my heart. Li Xiuyuan said.

Aunt Wang said something with a smile, and did not refuse Li Xiuyuan's intention.

After all, the Li family's red envelope is very greedy, it is not a few pennies, maybe it is a few taels of silver, this is what you want to push.

If you are pushed by yourself, the rest of the people in the village will not have to find yourself desperately.

However, the Chunhua girl followed the eldest young master, and later sent the red envelope down, so she would have face in the village.

Thinking of this, Aunt Wang became more and more happy.

"Sister Chunhua, you are also a person with a hard life, and in the future, you will serve the eldest young master well, the eldest young master is a good person, and his heart is good, so it is right to listen to the eldest young master for everything. Aunt Wang instructed again.

"Eh, I see. Du Chunhua responded.

"Let's go. ”

Li Xiuyuan picked Du Chunhua on the horse, then rode together, and galloped away with her outside the village.
