Chapter 275
Limited by the current traffic, if you want to turn from Qi to Sichuan and Shu, the fastest path is naturally to go southwest, enter the boundary of Jianghuai, and finally turn to Sichuan by water.

Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan followed this path, all the way to the southwest.

The two of them had excellent lightness skills, and their feet were much faster than ordinary people. Even if they didn't rush with all their strength, they quickly walked out of Qilu and entered the land of Heluo.

The Heluo area is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization and the core area of ​​Xia, Shang and Zhou civilizations.

In addition to the vast plains and adaptable climate, it has always been the world-famous "Central Plains granary".

After Sui Emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, he moved the capital from Daxing to Luoyang, adding more political influence to this already affluent land.

It is precisely because of this that the Wagang Army entrenched here will be regarded as a serious problem by the Chao court.

Especially after Li Mi joined, the Wagang Army's momentum has become even more powerful. Not only has it captured Xingyang, but now it is even more eager to occupy Luocang again, and its troops are pointing directly at the capital.

Although Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was almost fatuous, he also knew the crisis of the situation, so he dispatched Liu Wengong, Pei Renji, and Wang Shichong to flank Li Mi's Wagang Army.

When Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan arrived near Xingyang, the Wagang army was in a stalemate with the imperial court's soldiers and horses, and the situation was extremely anxious.

According to the records in the original book, Li Mi will win this battle completely, and his reputation in the Wagang Army has completely overshadowed the "big leader" Zhai Rang.

When Li Mi triumphantly returns, it will be the death date of Zhai Rang, the "big leader".

At this moment, the counties and counties around Xingyang are already under the control of the Wagang Army. Anyone who enters the city must have a letter issued by the military master Zu Junyan.

And Zu Junyan was Li Mi's confidant, his actions were nominally in response to the imperial court's surprise attack, but in fact they were to prevent Zhai Rang and his men from fleeing.

However, these matters are all internal affairs of the Wagang Army, and have nothing to do with Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan.

Although the city gate was guarded by heavy soldiers, the two of them had excellent lightness skills, and they easily crossed the city wall and entered the city quietly.

The guards in Xingyang City are heavily guarded, and the patrolling guards come and go constantly.

Compared with the Jianghuai Army with loose military discipline, the Wagang Army's discipline is still much better.

This is not only because of Li Mi's strict administration of the army, but also because Wagang's current power is not wide and there are not many personnel, so it is easy to control.

If the power gradually expands in the future, it will inevitably absorb remnants and strong men from all over the country, and the quality of the army will naturally decline.

"There is an undercurrent here, and there will be civil strife in Wagang. Let's continue to set off after half a day."

Shen Youzhi looked at the jittery scene in the city, and said softly.

Hearing this, Shi Qingxuan suddenly remembered that Shen Youzhi had analyzed the hidden worries inside Wagang when the two were chatting about the situation a few days ago.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, the prophecy of that day will soon become a reality.

Thinking of this, she also nodded her head, preparing to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

Immediately, the two walked quietly in the city, and soon found the largest restaurant.

Right now is a special season, the control in Xingyang City is extremely strict, many small shops and inns have already closed down, and only this kind of big restaurants can continue to open.

Without him, it's all because someone behind the scenes acquiesces.

The reason for this is also very simple. In the territory of the Wagang Army, who can run such a large restaurant without the permission of Wagang's senior management?
Therefore, when Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan walked into the restaurant slowly, they only felt that the building was buzzing with people and guests were like a cloud.

From time to time, there will be high-pitched cheers, men and women laughing, and fierce punching sounds.

Even though the control outside is strict, half of the restaurants in the city are almost closed, but here it is more lively than usual.

Just at this time, footsteps came from the corridor, and a slim woman walked out slowly under the support of a dozen soldiers.

Although she is a woman, she does not give in to men at all, her temperament is calm and profound, like a natural leader, quite majestic.

In addition, she is also a real beauty, her pair of eyes are like a lake of autumn water, coupled with the slender eyebrows that go into the temples, and the jade-like snow-like skin, she is even more graceful.

The most rare thing is that she has a heart-pounding noble temperament, which makes people who see her feel ashamed.

But the strange thing was that no one dared to look directly at such a stunning beauty.

Since she appeared, all the guests in the building bowed their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to act presumptuously.

It can be seen from this that this person's status in the Wagang Army is definitely not low.

Shen Youzhi easily guessed her identity: Shen Luoyan, "Pushangong" Li Mi's military adviser.

As the name suggests, Shen Luoyan does have the appearance of a sinking fish and a wild goose, and is worthy of the title of "beauty military adviser".

Even Shi Qingxuan, who is also a woman, was amazed by the "heroic spirit" of Shen Luoyan.

This kind of temperament can only be cultivated by beating Fang Qiu on the battlefield of thousands of troops, and it is definitely not possessed by a boudoir.

At almost the same time, Shen Luoyan also discovered Shi Qingxuan.

In her eyes, although the other party was dressed simply and covered his face with a light veil, he had a peerless aura, like an orchid in an empty valley, independent from the world.

Shen Luoyan looked at Shi Qingxuan carefully, and when she saw the jade flute pinned to her waist, she immediately had some guesses.

After seeing Shen Youzhi carrying Yaoqin on his back on the other side, the guess in his heart was almost confirmed.

Although Xingyang and Dongping are hundreds of miles apart, the Wagang Army has many secret posts and is well informed.

What happened at Wang Tong's birthday banquet had already been reported here. As Li Mi's military advisor, Shen Luoyan naturally would not ignore such important information.

It was also because of this that she was able to guess Shi Qingxuan's real identity in the first place.

Tread-tap-

With a light movement of lotus steps, Shen Luoyan quickly walked up to the two of them, and said softly:
"Shen Luoyan is here and met two of you."

"It's my good fortune that you two can come to Xingyang."

Right now Wagang is at a critical stage. Externally, it is rapidly expanding its territory. Internally, it is facing annihilation. As Li Mi's military adviser, Shen Luoyan naturally wants to attract talents and build momentum for him.

Even though she knew that it was impossible for the two of them to stay and work, she still wanted to draw in the relationship as much as possible.

Shen Luoyan had a long-term vision and knew that the news of Wang Tong's birthday banquet would soon spread throughout the world.

At that time, not only the mysterious "strange guest in the sedan chair" will cause a sensation in the martial arts world, but Shen Youzhi and Shi Qingxuan, who performed the song "Swordsman" together, will also be famous all over the world.

If you can get in touch with the two of them, it will be of great help to Li Mi's reputation.

Reaching out to not hit the smiling face, Shen Youzhi nodded slightly although he had no intention of getting involved in the factional disputes within Wagang.

Needless to say, Shi Qingxuan nodded slightly in return.

She just wanted to rest for a while, then continue to travel south, enter the Jianghuai River, and finally turn the waterway back to Sichuan and Shu, and didn't want to stay here too much.

Shen Luoyan also saw that the two had no intention of chatting, but still took the initiative to start the conversation:
"The two of you came from Dongping, but you want to continue heading south?"

This remark hit the target of the two of them, so naturally they are most likely to get a response.

"What advice does Military Master Shen have?" Shen Youzhi asked softly.

"Don't dare to advise." Shen Luoyan smiled modestly and explained: "I just want to inform you two that the Jianghuai waters are now completely controlled by Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army."

"Except for the Jianghuai Army, no force can pass through."
