Jiaohua

Chapter 556
In the Central Plains at the end of March, the warbler flies and the grass grows, the wilderness is like the sea, the wind blows up the blue waves, and the flowers are blooming for thousands of miles, reckless and unrestrained.

The ancient road outside the south city gate on the left is sparsely populated. At dusk, a horse team of 20 people came running.

Zuoxing County is located in the southeast of Fengyuan, north of Muye. In the Battle of Muye that started last year, Zuoxing suffered the most. He was mopped up by soldiers from Tian Dayao and Yun Bozhong. Send it out to them.

Now there are only a few guards at each city gate, fishing for food all day long, and turning a blind eye to people coming and going in and out of the city gate.

Seeing the visitor now, the yawning guard raised his spirits.

The young man headed by the horse team was dressed in a black jacket with arrow sleeves. He had handsome features, cold brows, and no sign of tiredness from the journey.

As a large city in the Central Plains extending in all directions, Zuoxing is often used as a transit station. However, there have been frequent wars recently, and the battle of Mu Ye was not decided. Jiao Jinhu ignored it. It has been a long time since such a noble son came here.

There are not many people in the city, but they all gather in groups of three or four, some play chess, some brag, some gamble, and women mostly gather in alleys, sewing and chatting.

After the horse team entered the city, they did not gallop, but their speed was still not slow. They did not take the main avenue in the city, and tried to open up places with as many people as possible.

The front of Yuyun Restaurant was very clean today, everyone was driven away, and the young man leaning on the railing upstairs was playing with the folding fan in his hand, with a bored expression on his face.

He caught sight of the horse team coming over there, and after seeing the man on horseback clearly, he almost didn't drop the folding fan in his hand.

He quickly turned around and ran towards the private room behind him. Several people in the same room yelled that their stomach hurts, and immediately opened the door and ran downstairs.

Standing downstairs and watching the horse team approaching, he stepped forward angrily: "Brother Shen, why did you come here! How did I persuade you in the letter! Why didn't you listen!"

Shen Lie jumped down immediately and said, "How many people are upstairs?"

The young man held his forehead with a headache on his face.

The young man is called Ji Xiahe, in his early twenties, the Ji family and the Guo family live together in Zuilu, the two families are good friends, Ji Xiahe is the third son of the Ji family, and grew up with Shen Lie since childhood.

"Five people," Ji Xiahe said, "I don't know the other two, one is my second uncle, the other is the captain of the Hanshen Camp, and your cousin who likes to stir up shit everywhere."

"Guo Yu?"

"Haha," Ji Xia and Shu Er laughed, "Look, you also think he's messing around with shit!"

"How is the situation now?"

"I think what they mean is that they intend to encourage you to die," Ji Xiahe said, "I really don't want you to ask you to come here, anyway, listen to me, no matter what happens to this matter, you don't care about it, Song Zhiyi is not a fool, he If there are ten pairs of eyes, at least seven pairs are staring at your Guo family. When you get down, don't say anything, play stupid if you can, and try to look as anxious as possible, as anxious as you can be. Just take it as a walk through."

Five years ago, when Song Zhiyi raised the banner of rebellion, the Ji family was one of the first families to support Song Zhiyi. However, after years of expeditions to the west, the Ji family was seriously dragged down, and the losses in terms of financial resources and manpower were extremely tragic.

Recently, Song Zhiyi recruited the cabinet into the palace many times to draw up new policies. Although they haven't been promulgated yet, there have been rumors that Song Zhiyi wants to completely engulf the aristocratic family, which has been exhausted.

The Ji family wanted to leave Song Zhiyi, and stopped the loss in time. After confirming that the news was correct, the Ji family made up their minds to flee, but most of the Ji family's property was already in Song Zhiyi's territory.

I heard that the Guo family on the other side of the Drunken Deer in their hometown recently had a choice in mind, so the Ji family contacted the Guo family immediately, wanting to go to the new owner together with the Guo family, and at the same time want the Guo family to help them. How much can be transferred out of the industry.

The Guo family had different opinions on this. Sifang strongly advocated helping the Ji family. Guo Liulang and Guo Yu set off first, and at the same time sent someone to contact Ji Xiahe, asking him to write a letter to Shen Lie.

Of course, Ji Xiahe didn't want Shen Lie to be involved in this right and wrong. He didn't want to write, but he was afraid that other people would write to Shen Lie and let Shen Lie come over, so Ji Xiahe still wrote, and the letters he wrote were all Ask Shen Lie to leave it alone.

Ji Xiahe first sent someone upstairs to announce that Shen Lie was here, and then walked upstairs slowly with Shen Lie.

Halfway up the stairs, Ji Xiahe still wanted to ask, "Why did you come here?"

"You are not the only one who wrote to me." Shen Lie said.

"Then you came here?" Ji Xiahe was annoyed, "Come if they want you to come, but don't come if I ask you, why don't you listen to me."

"I came for my reasons," Shen Lie replied, "you will know in the future."

"It won't be so easy," Ji Xiahe said, "As far as what the Guo family has done to you these years, you really agree to go this time. Even if Song Zhiyi can't kill you, those people in the Guo family can do it secretly. There are a hundred ways to kill you."

Shen Lie smiled faintly, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

There was no one in the lobby, and there were five men sitting in the private room upstairs. One was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was a military general, about forty years old.The one with a handsome face is Ji Xiahe's second uncle Ji Zhongchuan, and Ji Xiahe's eyebrows and eyebrows are five points like him.The young man next to him, wearing an E crown and wearing a white dress, is Shen Lie's seventh cousin, Guo Yu.There are two others, they look like a pair of brothers, they are not very tall, and they don't talk much.

Going to the private room, after some greetings, Shen Lie sat down.

Guo Yu said with a smile: "Time flies so fast, I just calculated it carefully, and I haven't seen my cousin for a year. This year, my cousin has traveled all over the world, and you have taken all the credit for all the hard work. The drunken deer never came back."

"I heard from the fourth brother that my nephew was originally going to Hengxiang." Ji Zhongchuan said, his eyes fell on the young man and looked at him carefully.

Erlang, who has not yet arrived in his twenties, has a very good appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and an aloof temperament. He has the disdain of a banished fairy and the vigor of a young man.

I haven't seen him for many years. It is very different from the withdrawn boy in his memory, who doesn't like to talk to others, and occasionally is a bit perverted. The teenagers who don't like each other are far apart.

"Well," Shen Lie replied, "I was going to Hengxiang."

"I don't know what to do in Hengxiang?" Ji Zhongchuan said again.

"Some personal matters."

Ji Zhongchuan smiled: "When it comes to Hengxiang, it is always easy to think of Dongping Academy nowadays. I wonder if this private matter is related to Dongping Academy?"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Lie replied.

　Thank you for the reward of the dynamic cat, Thanks(ω)
