There are crowds of people to see them off, and there is no posture of pennants waving. Su Ren and they had already set off before dawn, and the capital of Huainan was in the east of Lu'an, called Shouchun. It was a great city in the Hereafter.

Shouchun is also called Shouyang, Shouzhou, once for the state and county government of the past dynasties, there is the obstruction of Jiangyin outside, and there is the solidity of Huai Huai inside. "Chen Shu" said: "Those who live in spring, the ancient capital, and those who get it, are called the key points." Shouchun is an important military town in Huaishang, a place for soldiers to fight, and the wars have been fought endlessly throughout the dynasties, and the wars are particularly frequent and tragic. The famous Battle of Qin, Jin, and Huangshui took place here. The last war between Chu and Han also took place here. Yuan Shu was called the emperor, the battle of Shiting, and the battle of Feishui all had various connections with Shouchun.

It is precisely because of this war that Shouchun has been damaged the most. Su Ren's visit this time was not so much to persuade Liu Ci to persuade the King of Huainan, but to see the famous city that was about to go through the war and was still standing still.

Out of the east gate of Lu'an, he turned his head and looked back. Lu'an City is like a behemoth, lying there lifelessly, and the torches dotted on the city wall can't give people any anger at all, but more like a phosphorus fire flickering in the mound. It is such a city, ordinary, neither the tall and majestic of Chang'an, nor the fresh and beautiful of Chengdu, Su Ren did not expect that he would be able to live here for so long.

Wei Qing sighed: "Let's go, no one will come to see us off, when we just left the city, those soldiers guarding the gate were eager to close the city gate quickly, which shows how much the king and his courtiers hope that we will never return." ”

Su Ren smiled, took the reins of the horse, and straightened the head of the white horse: "It doesn't matter what they said, although Lu'an is not very good, I still have a lot of industry, even if the city is gone, those places have to be returned to me." ”

Wei Qing shook his head: "Don't worry, they won't touch those things of yours." ”

"That's good, count them as acquaintances!"

The cool night breeze with cold air blows from the back, just blowing on the back, and it doesn't take much time to feel cold. The brigade moved, there were cars and people, and the speed naturally couldn't be fast, and after walking for a long time, Lu'an City was still behind him.

Hou Yong was draped all over his body, ran over from the front, and bowed his hand to Su Yiyi: "Sir, there is someone in front." ”

"Oh? Isn't there no one to see them off? ”

"It doesn't seem to be a send-off, these people have been following us out of the city, deliberately waiting in front."

Su Ren was relieved, he had already guessed who it was.

Win Guangji and Thorn stood on the side of the road with people, Thorn's voice was the loudest, and he yelled at Su Ren in front of so many people: "Su boy, you are too unauthentic, you don't notice when you leave, you have to go out of the city, how to calculate this account?" ”

These two people, neither Wei Qing nor Hou Yong had ever seen them, and when they saw them talking so casually with Su Ren, they were suspicious in their hearts. It is said that Su Ren has someone in Lu'an, and there really is someone. Wei Qing felt even more incredible, he had already taken over Su Ren's Tiangang and the earth, but he didn't expect that there would be another person. Listening to the man's tone, dozens of people came out of the city, and the soldiers guarding the city were unaware of it, which seemed to be more powerful than those heavenly and earthly evils.

Su Ren looked at Wei Qing who was staring at him and smiled: "It's not my people, these two used to kill me, but later one became a friend, and the other was still an enemy." ”

Wei Qing shook his head and said he didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He is Su Ren's staff, and he will never ask more about things that he shouldn't know, if Su Ren wants him to know, he will definitely tell him.

"Enemies?" Hou Yong choked and pulled out his sword and protected it in front of Su Ren. He was the guard officer, and the hundred soldiers who followed him all watched him move, Hou Yong drew his sword, and the others immediately formed a formation and surrounded Su Ren in the middle. Based on this alone, Hou Yong is really interested in this time, and the person he chooses is not a weak hand.

Su Ren hurriedly said: "Misunderstanding, let go, let them come, although they are enemies, they owe me a favor, harmless!" ”

Ying Guangji snorted coldly and glared at Thorn: "How is it?" I said no, you want to come, if this kid just said a word, we'll be finished. ”

"Hahaha......" Thorn laughed, and walked in single-handedly through the cracks of the hundred guards who got out of the way, facing the swords and guns, without the slightest timidity, and still with a smile on his face. When passing by Hou Yong's side, he glanced at Hou Yong and shook his head: "This kid actually likes guys like you." ”

Hou Yong was confused. Su Ren scolded with a smile: "You like men!" This time......"

"Don't explain, this time I'm not following you, we're here to see you off!"

"Oh?"

"Young Master Ying has received the news from the west and is ready to pass, and I am also ready to go back, and the affairs at home have to be dealt with."

"Going?"

Thorn nodded: "It's been almost a year since I came out, and I have to go back to have a look, otherwise my dozens of wives won't be left alone in the empty house." ”

"Ahh You have dozens of wives, how come I've never heard of you? ”

Thorn snorted coldly: "Why, I have to report to you about everything, does Lao Tzu want to tell you that I and Neiko have fun in the room?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "It's better not to listen, what's the matter, you know where to find me." ”

Thorn nodded: "I'll look for you." ”

Ying Guangji darkened his face and glared at Su Ren: "Don't forget, you still have a promise to me that has not been fulfilled." ”

"Is there one? When? Su Ren turned his head to look at Huang Shisan and Manniu. Huang Shisan hurriedly shook his head, and the brute bull nodded very sincerely.

"Humph! I also know where to find you, and I'm not afraid that you will break the contract! Leave! ”

There is a gust of wind when you come, and it is crisp and neat when you leave. Without any extra nonsense, a dozen horses quickly disappeared into the morning light, leaving only the sound of horses' hooves and the hearty laughter of thorns.

Wei Qing and Hou Yong looked puzzled, and the two of them didn't even understand the meaning of Su Ren's words, but neither of them asked. In the east, the white of the fish's belly has already appeared, and the sun will soon rise above the horizon, and the warm sun will once again shine on the earth, and the dew and moisture will slowly rise. The woods in front of you were faintly visible, and it was impossible to tell where there was a road and where there was a field.

A team of people and horses bored walking through the official road, walking neither fast nor slow. Wei Qing couldn't help it several times, but in the end he didn't ask. Su Ren looked at Wei Qing's face and wanted to smile: "Let me tell you, those two are plague gods!" ”

"What is a plague god?"

"Does the plague know? The plague god is the god in charge of the plague in the sky, and the emperor thinks that the people there are not good, so he will send the plague god to bring down the plague, understand? ”

Wei Qing gasped: "They ......"

"Have you heard of Ebony Cliff?"

"They're from Ebony Bluffs?"

Su Ren nodded: "That winning boy is still a very high status, you should be careful when you see them in the future." ”

Wei Qing nodded solemnly.

After riding the horse for a while, Su Ren felt uncomfortable with the diaphragm between the two strands, so he summoned the carriage and got in. Hakuba didn't have any opinion on this, and shook his head twice excitedly to express his happy mood. As a horse, there is no one who is willing to run around with a camel, whether it is a good horse or a colt that can only pull a cart. The white horse was very satisfied with his master, and ran proudly in front of the other horses, showing his nobility.

There was really no one to send Su Ren, which made Su Ren very angry, but he was also the envoy of Hengshan Kingdom, Liu Ci had to have a decent representative if he didn't come, right? Ten miles away from the city, Su Ren even waited for half an hour, but still didn't see anyone to see him off.

The winter sun, even in Jianghuai, the temperature is not too high, this season is the most suitable time to hurry. On this day, it was almost night, and Su Ren came out of the carriage. Sleepy-eyed asked Huang Shisan: "Where have you been?" ”

Huang 13 shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. Manniu looked left and right: "This place is the boundary of Wancheng, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach Wancheng tonight." ”

"Wancheng? How far is it from my Jiangsu city? ”

"It'll be there tomorrow at noon!"

"Order to rest, let's not enter Wancheng, I don't want to see the white eyes of those guys!"

The order was quickly conveyed, and Hou Yong led people to start setting up the camp. One hundred and ten people, the camp does not need to be too big, this is the territory of Hengshan Country, and there is no danger. A forest is their foothold, next to the river, and they bring their own dry food. There is water and food, but there is nothing to work hard. Su Ren was very well prepared for this trip, since Liu Ci, the king of Hengshan, was not authentic, he Su Ren paid out of his own pocket to let these people who came out with him eat and drink well.

A live sheep was slaughtered on the spot, and a bonfire was lit amid the excited howls of the soldiers. Su Ren personally got his hands on it and roasted whole sheep for those people. His craftsmanship was very poor, and he was carried up half-baked. A small jar of wine for every five people, and one or two catties of mutton, is already a delicacy in the world for the soldiers. For this meal, Su Ren completely bought these 100 soldiers.

Liu Ci frowned, and the wine he drank in his mouth always felt bitter. Since Su Ren left, he has been worried, he doesn't know what he is thinking, and he always feels that things are not good. Xi Ci ran in two steps, and almost tripped over the threshold at the door, just when the waiter was about to help him, Xi Ci magically stood firm. The chamberlain had never seen this old minister of state have such good skills, so he couldn't help but look at Xi Ci twice.

"How?" Liu Ci hurriedly threw down the wine glass and asked eagerly.

Xi Ci smiled: "Huainanguo has already agreed, as long as Su Ren arrives in Shouchun, it will not be so easy to come out." ”

Liu Ci let out a sigh: "This king's brother really dares to do anything, fortunately he took over, otherwise this king really doesn't know how to deal with it as before, this person is too evil, and he stays out of everything, but everything has his shadow." ”

Xi Ci nodded: "King, although this matter has been taken over by King Huainan, we still have to guard against it, in case King Huainan does not do things secretly and is known, with the temperament of King Huainan, it will definitely be pushed on our heads." ”

Liu Ci nodded hurriedly: "In the opinion of the country, what should we do?" ”

Xi Ci looked left and right. Liu Ci waved his hand and drove everyone away, and the two discussed secretly in the room, and no one knew what they said.
