readx; Leaving the teahouse and returning to the inn, Zhu Youzhen was still suspicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Obviously, the middle-aged scribe said that he had worked hard from afar, and said that he was "looking northwest to Chang'an", indicating that he knew Zhu Youzhen's whereabouts well. But Zhu Youzhen was disguised at this time, how could he be seen through by the other party? Who is that man, and how can he know that he traveled all the way north from the southeast coast?

"Lord Wang, I always feel that this person's voice is a little familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere." Li Zhenyan tilted her head and thought.

Zhu Youzhen also felt the same way, but he had carefully examined the appearance of that person, and it was obviously an ordinary and unfamiliar face, which he had never seen before. And what he did is really hard to explain, if he is hostile to Zhu Youzhen, why did he leave 10,000 taels of silver tickets? But if he is a friend and not an enemy, why is he extremely unkind to Zhu Youzhen, and he still hides his head and tail?

"Could he have been disguised too?" Li Zhenyan suddenly realized.

"That's right!" Zhu Youzhen slapped his thigh violently, "We can be disguised, and of course others can also be disguised!" It seems that this person is definitely not a minion of Dongchang, because this is not in line with Dongchang's behavior. And who could he be..."

"Could it be someone from the White Lotus Sect?" Lee Jung-yeon reminded.

Zhu Youzhen pondered for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Yes, I have been in contact with the White Lotus Sect a few times along the way, and I always feel that this organization is extremely mysterious, acting perversely and weirdly, and it seems to have plans for myself. But their behavior of wanting to blow up the Yangtze River embankment is not a great evil, so what do they want to do, and what is there for them to take advantage of...

With unsolvable questions, Zhu Youzhen tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep dimly until the second half of the night. Li Zhenyan did not sleep all night, for fear that someone would take advantage of the late night to carry out assassination.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, and when he got up early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and smiled with a self-defeating smile: "Don't worry about it so much, let's go home first!" ”

Li Zhenyan was overjoyed, as long as she returned to Qinwangzhuang, Zhu Youzhen would be completely safe. She was just about to restore Zhu Youzhen's original appearance, but Zhu Youzhen stopped with a smile: "I'm not busy, I want to enter Qinwangzhuang like this and surprise the princess." ”

Li Zhenyan couldn't resist him, so she had to settle the house money, and the two went out of the city from the north gate of Xi'an and walked along the West Qin Highway to Qinwangzhuang.

It has been nearly a year since Zhu Youzhen said goodbye to this highway. At that time, he set out from Qinwangzhuang and also took this road, but the poplar trees planted last year on both sides of the road have grown taller this year. At this time, the summer harvest has just ended, the land of the farmland has just been turned over, and the air is filled with the fragrance of the earth, this is the taste of hometown, how can people not feel emotional!

Along the way, it was also very lively, with large trucks transporting various commodities and materials one after another, and many merchants rushing to Qinwangzhuang to do business. It seems that he has been away for more than half a year, and the development of Qinwangzhuang has not stopped, and it is obviously more prosperous than last year, which also makes Zhu Youzhen feel very gratified.

The so-called "people are in good spirits at happy events", a distance of more than ten miles, and the two of them arrived in less than an hour. The outer city walls of Qinwangzhuang are still so majestic and majestic, like a powerful giant, protecting the people in the city from the attacks of thieves. At the head of the city, Qin soldiers with birds on their shoulders and spears in their hands were patrolling back and forth, vigilantly watching the movement in the distance; At the city gate, more than 20 Qin soldiers guarding the city were carefully checking the passing people and vehicles, so the speed of the flow of people slowed down suddenly.

Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan also crowded into the crowd and slowly moved forward, and when they arrived at the city gate, they saw that it was Xie Sheng, the general appointed by himself, who was sitting here. I haven't seen him for a year, Xie Sheng's figure is more burly and strong than in the past, but he is much calmer, and his temples actually have a few gray hairs early.

Zhu Youzhen's heart was hot, and he knew that the heavy responsibility of defending the city was pressed on this young man who was originally a farmer, and it was indeed difficult for him. Just as he was sighing, two Qin soldiers stood beside him, one left and one right, and an officer came over and looked him up and down: "Look at your eyes, is it the first time to come to Qin Wangzhuang?" ”

Zhu Youzhen also happened to want to test whether the guards of the city were responsible, so he said nonsense: "Ah, yes, yes! The villain came from Wuchang and heard that Qinwangzhuang was doing good business here, so he came to visit. The man in the back is the villain's buddy. ”

"It turned out to be a businessman." The officer's attitude immediately became kind, "It's a guest from afar, welcome to our Qinwangzhuang to do business." Then please register in this book, name, place of origin, what is your main business, and plan to stay in Qinwangzhuang for a few days. After registration, I will open a note for you, you can go to the city inn to stay with the note, and the room price is half cheaper than Xi'an City! If there is no strip, the inn will not be accepted. ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned at first, and then secretly admired the ingenuity of this arrangement. This seems to be a courtesy to businessmen, but in fact, it is a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.

He immediately put on his crown and Li Dai and registered it with the name "Zheng Sen". The officer looked at it and smiled: "It turned out to be Boss Zheng, who deals in agricultural products." Well, the last routine is to search the two of them to see if they have any weapons. In addition to the weapons to be temporarily seized, we will not encroach on other personal things, this is the rule of Qin Wangzhuang, and I hope Boss Zheng understands. ”

Zhu Youzhen praised him secretly, thinking that Xie Sheng was so cautious, even if the people from Dongchang or Jinyiwei pretended to be merchants and wanted to sneak into the city, they would not be able to make any waves without weapons.

But it's nothing that she was searched, but Li Zhenyan is a daughter, how can she let these sergeants touch her. Zhu Youzhen thought that this situation was not rare, but he wanted to see how Xie Sheng dealt with it.

So he looked embarrassed and whispered to the officer: "Don't hide it from the military master, my guy is actually my concubine, because it is inconvenient for women to go out, so he pretends to be a man." You see..."

The officer glanced at Li Zhenyan in surprise, and said with a smile: "Good guy, you look like it enough!" It's okay, woman, we have female soldiers to search us, please go to the grass hut next to it. After entering the city, women's clothing can be restored, we Qinwangzhuang Road does not leave no room and does not close the door at night, and there is no one who is a traitor. ”

Zhu You listened to it, and there was another burst of admiration in his heart. It's not just because the inspection measures are strict, so that the bad guys have no chance; It is also because this officer has a kind attitude towards the people, and must have a certain level of education, otherwise he would not be able to say such words as "not leaving a stone unturned" and "being a traitor".

Compared with other armies of this era, most of the sergeants were illiterate and illiterate, and they could only cut people with knives, and it was easy for them to become ruffians who oppressed the people. And the comprehensive quality of the Qin soldiers is not much higher than them, with such an army, why can't they gallop the world!
