I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 502 Fierce Battle

County magistrate Zhu didn't intend to make a move. It would not be wise to offend the old man for a little girl who passed by Liu County. No one knows how powerful the old man is, let alone how peaceful these years have been.

Wei Xiancheng knew this would happen a long time ago, but there was an inexplicable chill in his heart.

Standing under the corridor and looking at the bright and dazzling sun, Wei Xiancheng remembered the famous sentence he had recited when he was enlightened, "Build a heart for the world, build a life for the living people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations."

However, the officialdom has been ups and downs for many years, and at the age of [-], Wei Xiancheng realized that he was just a drop in the ocean, and he could only be a low-level official in the county government for the salary he took home every month. It has become empty talk.

After stepping out of the house, Cheng Xianwei was in a happy mood at the moment, strode over, looked at Wei Xiancheng who was absent-minded, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Wei, are you worried about the safety of that little girl Zhan Feiyu? If so If so, Master Wei can send someone to deliver a letter, not to mention whether it can save people, but at least remind Zhan Feiyu."

What Cheng Xianwei said was sincere, but when he looked at Xiang Wei Xiancheng, his eyes were full of ridicule and disdain. Literati are all fake and noble. Would he dare to report the news?
Working together for many years, Wei Xiancheng is no longer the passionate scholar of the past. Facing Cheng Xianwei's naked ridicule, Wei Xiancheng said calmly: "If you do many unrighteous actions, you will kill yourself. My aunt will treat it."

After a moment of silence, a loud laugh followed, Cheng County Wei shook his head twice, "Then I will wait and see what retribution I will have."

……

At dawn on the second day, He Sheng led the carriage out of the inn slowly, just in time to go on the road before the heat got hot.

"Wait a minute." Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the alley, but it was a boy in gray clothes. He looked around warily, and then said to Zhan Feiyu in the carriage: "My master asked the little one to come Tell the lady that the officialdom is not smooth, if the lady wants to leave Liu County, she must bring enough people."

Before Zhan Feiyu could answer, the boy who finished speaking turned around and ran away, as fast as a kid chasing after him.

He Nuan looked at the boy running away through the car window, "Miss is the boy from Zhao's pastry shop."

"I didn't expect that it was Mr. Zhao who tipped us off in the end." Zhan Feiyu laughed, looking at the quiet street scene outside the car window, "Ah Sheng, let's go."

Zhu County Magistrate did not send anyone to deliver the letter, Wei County Chancellor including Inspector Miao and Inspector Cao were all like this, and even Mr. Jiao, who had expressed his love before, quietly left Liu County last night and returned to Qianzhong Mansion. .

In the end, no one wants to offend the old man who is so ignorant of Shenlong. Even though County Magistrate Zhu, as the official of Liuxian County, knew that Zhan Feiyu's life was in danger, he would not risk offending the old man by reporting the news.

It was only a quarter of an hour, and thinking that there might be a fierce battle ahead, He Nuan took out all the breakfast in the food box and put it on the low table, "Isn't Mr. Zhao afraid?"

The old man's eyes and hands in Qianzhong Road can be said to be as good as the sky. Master Zhao sent a servant over early in the morning, and the news must not be hidden.

With a piece of soft, glutinous and burnt egg noodle pancake, Zhan Fei said without raising his head: "Wealth is a risk! If you lose the bet, the Zhao family will probably make things worse. If you win the bet, Zhao's pastry shop can make a comeback. "

He Nuan shook his head helplessly, it really was a merchant, even County Magistrate Zhu and the others dared not have the courage to take a gamble.

……

On the other side, the servant who tipped off the news had already returned to the Zhao family. At this time, most of the servants of the Zhao family had been dismissed, and the rest went back to the old house in the countryside with the Zhao family members.

The Zhao family, which was considered prosperous in the past, appeared to be depressed in just a few days, and the evacuated mansion was full of decadence.

"Second Uncle, aren't you afraid?" Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask, Second Uncle's move was really risky, once the old man retaliated afterwards, the Zhao family would be doomed.

Mr. Zhao stood at the window looking at the deserted courtyard. After a long time, he slowly said: "Master Qiu said before that there are not many good seedlings in the Zhao family who study. If they work hard, they may be able to get a scholar. There will be a candidate in the meeting."

So what about raising people?They are not considered officials. It will take at least 20 years for the Zhao family to rely on their juniors to study and recover. But the key is 20 years later, what is the use of a person?Leaving aside, in 20 years, Mr. Jiao might have become the magistrate of one party.

Thinking of Master Qiu's words, Zhao Ling's complexion became a little heavy, "It's really impossible to support a few more poor scholars."

But after saying this, Zhao Ling himself didn't have much confidence. Every time he slaughtered more dogs in righteousness, he would be a scholar with a heartless heart.Who dares to put the future of the Zhao family on a strange scholar?
It's fine if you are grateful, but if you encounter a treacherous white-eyed wolf, you may covet the Zhao family's property and attack the Zhao family instead, so in the end you still have to rely on your own family.

Master Zhao patted Zhao Ling on the shoulder comfortingly, "In the early years, I deposited 1 taels of silver in the bank under the name of Huzi..."

Although it is not about the last words, it is not far from it. Mr. Zhao and even Mr. Zhao are very ruthless. If he loses this bet, the money will at least keep the Zhao family from starving to death.

Moreover, the money was handled by Mr. Zhao alone, and it was already 20 years ago. Even if the old man had a lot of eyeliner, he probably couldn't find it.

"But..." Zhao Ling opened his mouth after listening, and found that his throat seemed to be blocked by cotton balls, and his chest was also sore and uncomfortable.

"Miss Zhan still dares to leave Liu County with such fanfare even though she knows that the old lady will take revenge. She is either stupid or confident. As long as we make the right bet, all the difficulties of the Zhao family will disappear." Master Zhao's bloodshot eyes burst out. When a light comes, success or failure depends on it.

……

After the two carriages came out of the city gate, He Sheng noticed that there were people following them, and there were people moving from time to time in the mountains on both sides of the official road. He probably knew that Zhan Feiyu was going to leave, so he sent someone to guard here the night before. Find out about the latest news.

Although it was hot in the carriage, it was acceptable to put an ice bucket. After reciting his homework, Zhan Feiyu opened the curtain and looked outside. The trees were green and surrounded by mountains, "I can lay an ambush anywhere with my eyes closed. "

As a result, as soon as Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, He Sheng, who was driving the carriage, changed his expression slightly, and looked at a blue smoke rising from the sky not far away, "Miss, there is an ambush ahead."

Zhan Feiyu looked at He Nuan who drew out his soft sword, the envy on his face could not be concealed, no one had a chivalrous dream.

A quarter of an hour later, as soon as the carriage stopped, the sound of big trees being cut down was heard at the intersection. Two thick trees fell down, and the luxuriant branches and leaves just blocked the front and back roads. Can people pass by? Not to mention, at least the carriage cannot pass.

"Miss, aren't you staying in the carriage?" He Nuan helped He Sheng quickly unload the carriage.

The inside of the carriage is a positive piece of copper that can't be pierced by a sword. Even though it is heavy, there is a special mechanism made by the Forbidden Dragon Guard, so it is not too troublesome to remove the carriage.

Once the carriage door is locked from the inside, it is like a hard and indestructible barrier. Zhan Feiyu is absolutely safe inside, and the ventilation holes are also very hidden. It is absolutely impossible for the enemy to find it in a short time.

Zhan Feiyu squinted and smiled, "Don't worry, I will hide in if it's dangerous."

Accompanied by the sound of a sharp whistle, the battle broke out instantly, and a group of dead soldiers dressed in black came down from the mountains on both sides of the official road.

Zhan Feiyu leaned against the solid and indestructible carriage, and watched from a distance the men and horses of both sides fighting fiercely together. It was different from the previous scene when the barbarians attacked the city in Xiangwu County. At that time, they were all ordinary soldiers, shouting loudly Shocking.

Today is like a lonely and silent bloody battle, with only the sound of swords and swords bumping into each other, one after another silhouettes fell silently, and the ground was instantly stained red with blood.

He Sheng and He Nuan didn't do anything, they stood guard on the left and the right in front of them, while the coachman stood in the carriage and watched to prevent someone from sneaking up on him from behind.

As for the people who secretly protected Zhan Feiyu, they were still hiding in the dark. Zhan Feiyu looked around and guessed that they were also hiding in the mountains, using trees to cover their figures. After all, the battle at this moment is more like a temptation, maybe the real The danger is yet to come.
