Chapter 169 A Comfortable Beating

The road is long and the sky is high and the earth is wide.

In a few days, Xu Zun and others had already passed through Changqing City and entered the boundary of Yonghui.

The county of Yonghui is quite special. Its area is vast, larger than that of several other counties in Tangzhou.

However, the counties under his jurisdiction are the fewest, because the land here is sparsely populated and the land is barren. Except for the steep mountains, there are plateaus, which are not very suitable for living.

Moreover, it is connected to Hanzhou at the top, Xiazhou at the bottom, and close to Shuzhou in the southeast. The surrounding area is almost desolate, which forms a gray area that does not care about anything.

Even though it is under the jurisdiction of Tangzhou, but the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the control of the state government has not been smooth.

What's more interesting is that although this place is an important route for Xiazhou to enter Beijing, it has not stationed a large number of troops, nor has it established a military fortress.

One of the reasons is that although Xiazhou is famous for its wildness, it has been peaceful and stable for many years, and there are big black cavalry stationed there, so there will be no loss.

Another reason is that this place is very close to the Hanzhou border guards. If there is a war, troops can also be transferred from Hanzhou.

In addition, there is another most important reason, that is, Yonghui is too poor, and the cost of stationing troops here is too high.

It is said that the location of Yonghui County Mansion did not even build a city, but built many houses along the river bank, which looked more like a huge market.

Fortunately, there are still three rivers passing by in Yonghui County. If there are no such water veins, I am afraid that it will be abandoned sooner or later.

At this moment, Xu Zun's convoy was driving on the main road. In order to better understand the situation, Xu Zun asked the eight guards to change into ordinary clothes and pretend to be merchants on the road.

In addition, Xu Zun sent two guards to Yonghui to inquire about information, so he was well prepared.

"My lord..." Inside Xu Zun's new carriage, Zhao Yu asked while holding a few pieces of paper, "Tell me again, what is this thing called?"

"J," Xu Zun introduced, "J, Q, K, now the two of us are farmers, and Huo Anu is a landlord, we have to fight her!"

It turned out that Xu Zun was idle on the road making a deck of cards and was teaching them how to fight the landlord.

"Why do you want to fight the landlord?" Huo Anu was surprised, "Besides, I'm not a landlord? My family doesn't even have land!"

"It's not really fighting the landlord, it's playing cards, do you understand playing cards?" Xu Zun introduced, "You are the landlord, you play the cards first, I have taught you the rules of playing cards just now!"

"My... my lord," Zhao Yu said, looking at the playing cards in his hand, "what do these two ghosts mean?"

"Wow," Xu Zun poked his head to look, but seeing Zhao Yu holding two kings, he immediately frowned and said, "You can't do this, the two kings will call, you have to be the landlord."

"Me? I can't be that," Zhao Yu waved his hand, "It would be about the same if I inherited my father's family property!"

call……

Xu Zun slapped his forehead and said helplessly:

"Or, let's fry golden flowers!"

"Hey?" Zhao Yu thought of something, and immediately took out dice from his arms, "I have dice here, let's play dice, shall we?"

"Don't play, don't play," Huo Anu waved his hand, "I don't gamble!"

"Okay," Xu Zun found out that he couldn't teach these two people, so he put away his poker and said depressedly, "Then what shall we do?"

"Would you like...to drink?" Zhao Yu said, "I bought a jar of good wine from Changqing City, do you want to taste it?"

Xu Zun shook his head, expressing no interest.

"My lord, my lord..." Zhao Yu said again, "Why don't we chat! Tell us what happened to that girl from Yuanzhou? Why do you insist on letting her follow us?"

"Didn't we already talk about it?" Xu Zun said casually, "Always pay attention these days. The news that we took him to Yonghui is no secret. I always feel that someone will come to rescue her!"

"Isn't that the right thing to do?" Zhao Yu clenched his fists, "Zhengchou couldn't find any clues!"

"My lord," Huo Anu interjected from the side, "we left in a hurry and forgot to say hello to Hong Gu, that girl also knows a lot of secrets of Taoism, we should take her along."

Xu Zun shook his head, "I've already thought about this question, but Honggu is only a child, so she shouldn't be allowed to take risks with us.

"Don't worry, I have already left a letter for Tai Min, asking him to temporarily keep Honggu in the county office for protection, just in case."

"Oh, that's good..." Huo Anu felt relieved.

However, this foreign girl's face was always sad. Ever since she knew that Shen Qian might be the mastermind of the iron coffin case, she had always looked worried.

After all, she and Shen Qian have a strong friendship, and she doesn't want Shen Qian to go astray no matter what.

"It's too stuffy here," Huo Anu lifted the iron umbrella and lifted the car curtain and said, "I'll go outside to get some air!"

After finishing speaking, she whistled to attract her mount, and then jumped onto the horse to ride.

"This hot girl." Zhao Yu gave Xu Zun a playful look, and said, "Are you still angry with the adults? I have already said that she is fine, you have to let me monitor her."

"Leave her alone, let's talk about yourself!" Xu Zun said, "The last time I met Cai Kun, he didn't tell me that you are the inner guard's business!"

"What?" Zhao Yu's face changed suddenly, "You asked him? You can't do this, isn't this the same as betraying me?"

"Still pretending!" Xu Zun bluffed, "You are not an inner guard at all, you still bluffing me?"

"My lord, how do you say that?" Zhao Yu hastened to argue bitterly, "I'm really not lying, I'm really an inner guard, just a half-baked inner guard, unprofessional!

"Hey? Impossible? If you really asked Cai Kun, then he shouldn't deny it. I had already shown him the token at that time!"

"Okay, okay," Xu Zun said with his eyes narrowed, "I'm just teasing you! You're nervous, don't you have ghosts in your heart?"

"Hey, look at what you said," Zhao Yu said awkwardly, "How can you talk about things like the inner guards casually! If you make trouble, it's a crime of deceiving the emperor. Don't scare me like this in the future. ..."

"Oh, it's a bit boring here," Xu Zun stretched his waist and said while lying on the car seat, "I'd better get some sleep, you go out!"

"Okay, okay..." Zhao Yu smacked his lips vigorously, and then walked out of the carriage through the curtain.

However, he didn't have a war horse that could listen to whistles, so he simply sat next to the guards driving the carriage and chatted about mountains with them.

Xu Zun lay helplessly in the carriage and smiled.

In fact, he didn't ask Cai Kun whether Zhao Yu was an inner guard or not.

The reason why he didn't ask is also very simple, that is - forgot to ask!
At that time, everything that Cai Kun told him surprised him, how could he think of asking Zhao Yu?

Therefore, it is quite comfortable to beat Zhao Yu with this stalk now.

For some reason, even though Xu Zun believed that Zhao Yu was indeed the inner guard, he still felt that he was not telling the truth about something.

What Xu Zun didn't know was that even though Zhao Yu was chatting with the driving guard in a decent manner at the moment, there were already bursts of cold sweat on his forehead...
