Chu Huan turned his head and saw several Hexi soldiers appear in the courtyard, some with knives, some with crossbow arrows, aimed at the wall, Chu Huan frowned, and had already heard someone say loudly: "Don't do it, it's our people." ”

In the midst of the voice, the hairy foal had already hurried over.

The Hexi soldiers didn't immediately put away their weapons, and the hairy foal had already said to the wall: "Bamboo hero, but what happened to you?" ”

Chu Huan hesitated, and finally jumped down from the wall, the Hexi soldiers all took a step back, and at this time they clearly recognized that it was the bamboo hero of the Peacock Terrace, so he put away his weapon, and one of them had already bowed his hand and said politely: "It turned out to be the bamboo hero, I'm really sorry, a few of our brothers were on duty at night, passed by the backyard, and heard movement here, so they happened to arrive." ”

Chu Huan smiled slightly, looked at Mao Renju, and asked with a smile, "Why did Team Leader Mao come over too?" ”

The firewood house where Wu Shizhao was detained was in the backyard of the post station, and the house was in front.

Mao Renju has already said: "The girl has something to explain, it is about Zhu Daxia, I went to the guest room, I didn't see Zhu Daxia, and I learned that Zhu Daxia came here, so I came to look for it." ”

"I see."

Mao Renju turned his head and saw that the back window of the firewood room was already sparse, frowned slightly, leaned closer, jumped into the firewood room lightly, and soon came out, his face was a little solemn, and said: "Bamboo hero, Wu Shizhao is dead." ”

Chu Huan sighed: "It's really not the right time for him to die. ”

Several Hexi soldiers looked at each other, and Mao Renju said to those people: "Inside are the bandits we caught on the way, and they wanted to be taken to Hexi to be sent to the government, but now they died suddenly." ”

A Hexi soldier said: "We were ordered to welcome Peacock Terrace, and after entering Hexi, we will be responsible for guarding your thoughtfulness, but if we are derelict in our duties, we will all be executed by military law." It's just outside Hexi, but it's not within our scope of responsibility. He made his responsibilities very clear, and seemed to be worried that something wrong would happen to Peacock Terrace, and if someone died, they didn't care.

"There is work, there is work." Mao Renju arched his hand and said: "A few of you will go to rest first, and we will deal with this matter ourselves." ”

The Hexi soldiers didn't say much, and led the people away.

After everyone left, Mao Renju stepped forward and asked, "Bamboo hero, ...... Wu Shizhao?" ”

"I was just after the Assassins." Chu Huan sighed: "It's just that the Hexi soldiers suddenly appeared, I'm afraid they have fled far away at this moment." ”

"Assassins?" Mao Renju frowned and said, "Bamboo Daxia is saying that there are assassins who assassinate Wu Shizhao?" ”

"Exactly." Chu Huan said: "Team Leader Mao, in your opinion, who does this Wu Shizhao have an enmity with, and will he assassinate him at this time?" ”

Mao Renju was stunned, frowned, and groaned slightly, before shaking his head and said: "I really don't know who Wu Shizhao has a grudge with in private, but it's really a little strange to follow here to assassinate." ”

Chu Huan stared at Mao Renju twice, and suddenly asked, "Team Leader Mao just said that he was looking for me, I don't know what?" ”

Mao Renju hurriedly said: "It was the girl's order, this time the bamboo hero pulled out his sword to help, so that the Peacock Terrace avoided a big disaster, so the girl has a mention, and I hope that the bamboo hero will consider it." ”

"Oh?"

Mao Renju said: "The girl said, if the bamboo hero can stay in the Peacock Terrace, he will naturally be unable to ask for it, but if the bamboo hero can't agree, I wonder if the hero can temporarily follow the Peacock Terrace together, and after the Hexi affair, return to Jinling together?" The girl said that as long as the bamboo hero agreed, there would be a lot of thanks at that time. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Miss Jinling Bird wants me to stay in Peacock Terrace? ”

Mao Renju nodded and said, "That's true, I don't know what Bamboo Daxia thinks?" ”

"I can't agree to this just yet." Chu Huan smiled: "I'm used to being casual, Peacock Terrace has its own rules, but I'm just not a person who abides by the rules." ”

Mao Renju was slightly disappointed and said: "If this is the case, I'm afraid the girl will be disappointed." ”

"However, if the Jinling Bird girl mentions yì and returns to Jinling together, I can still consider it." Chu Huan said with a smile: "I met a friend in Hexi, but there is nothing else. ”

Mao Renju said with a smile: "Peacock Terrace will be dedicated to the emperor at that time, Hexi will build the Heavenly Palace, that is Qionglou Yuyu, if the estimate is good, the birthday ceremony should be held in the Heavenly Palace, Bamboo Hero can be interested in seeing it?" ”

"Heavenly Palace?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "Using more than 100,000 people and spending countless silver silks, it must be extremely luxurious. ”

Mao Renju said: "If you are an ordinary person, of course, you can't get in, I'm afraid that some dignitaries and nobles are not qualified to enter, but this time the bamboo hero has the opportunity to enter the heavenly palace with us, if the bamboo hero is interested, the girl is willing to take the bamboo hero into the heavenly palace to witness it with her own eyes, which can be regarded as a small return to the bamboo hero." ”

Chu Huan thought for a moment before saying, "Since this is the case, when there is such an opportunity, I am really willing to take a look." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll give you back to the girl." Mao Renju said with a smile: "Bamboo Hero, it's late, you rest first, Wu Shizhao's corpse, I will take someone to deal with it." ”

Chu Huan glanced at the broken window, thoughtful.

Early the next morning, under the leadership of the Hexi soldiers, the Peacock Terrace continued to set off, and after walking for a few days, on the vast land, Chu Huan saw a majestic city from afar, and everyone knew that this was Wuping Mansion, the capital of Hexi Province.

Wuping Mansion is located in the territory of Wuzhou, is the political center of Hexi Road, by the mountains and rivers, is the most majestic city in the north of the empire, Hexi as the frontier to resist the barbarians, at the beginning of the country, it is also often attacked by the barbarians, through Feng Yuanpo father and son two generations, only to deter the barbarians, Qin State so far, the two governors are the Feng family father and son, so the Feng family's power in Hexi can be said to be deep-rooted, Wuping Mansion City has also been strengthened and repaired in the past 20 years.

Before approaching the city, two Hexi soldiers were ordered to enter the city to report, and when the team came to the city gate, there were already officials waiting here, the people who came were in their fifties, and they looked polite, and the Hexi soldiers had already introduced, this is Yang Zhen, the director of the Hexi Provincial Department of Rites, Chu Huan was still wearing a hat, at this time, he naturally would not come forward, but his heart became more and more strange, although this Yang Zhen was only the director of the Ministry of Rites of Hexi Province, but the grade was not low, according to the normal situation, it was not necessary for him to personally come out to meet the Peacock Terrace, I vaguely feel that Hexi Road seems to care a little too much about Peacock Terrace.

Mao Renju as the leader, at this time he naturally stepped forward to negotiate, said a few words, and then to the side of the Jinling Sparrow carriage, approached the curtain and said a few words inside, soon, the maid Xiao Ning helped the Jinling Sparrow get off the car, still with a light veil on his face, but he didn't see Xiao Pian get out of the car, Jinling Sparrow stepped forward and saluted, Yang Zhen had already smiled and said: "I have long heard of the girl's name, this holy sacrifice to the heavens, naturally to be solemnly engaged, but also the Ministry of Rites Xue Butang mentioned the girl, so send someone to invite, the girl has worked hard along the way." ”

Chu Huan listened carefully in the back, and listened to Yang Zhen talk about "Xue Butang", of course, he knew that nine times out of ten it was Xue Huai'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and thought to himself, could it be that Peacock Terrace came by order, could it be Xue Huai'an's construction?

Yang Zhen seemed very kind, and then arranged for someone to lead the team into the city to live first, Wuping Mansion has its own post house, and some officials led Peacock Terrace to the post house and moved in.

This post house is built very wide, and the area is also very large, there are dozens of large and small courtyards in it, and each courtyard has large and small houses.

When the people of Peacock Terrace entered the hospital, they found that there were already a lot of people living in this post house, and many voices came out of the courtyard, which seemed quite lively, and the leading officer said with a smile: "The Governor has an order, the Holy Sacrifice Ceremony, to be held a grand celebration, so many people have been invited to come and perform, many people have already arrived, but you Peacock Terrace is the most important team, the Governor has a special explanation, arrange a secluded courtyard for you, you can ask us if you have any needs, As long as we can do it, we will meet your needs. ”

Mao Renju asked, "But I don't know where the birthday ceremony will be held?" ”

The official smiled: "Naturally, it is the Heavenly Palace, and when we wait until the day of the birthday, we will take you to the Heavenly Palace ......!" After a pause, he said with a smile: "But the Jinling Bird Girl's dancing skills are unparalleled, when the queen's birthday ceremony, I heard that the Jinling Bird Girl presented her dancing skills and was rewarded by the saint and the queen, so this time I specially invited the Jinling Bird Girl, and then you Peacock Terrace will have special arrangements." ”

Chu Huan followed behind Mao Renju, wearing a hat and pressing down the brim of his hat, and asked at this time: "My lord, I heard that this holy birthday ceremony, there will be many feudal officials to come to congratulate?" ”

The official laughed: "That's nature. Xingyuan was next door to the inn, and several governors had already arrived. ”

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with a smile: "This is a grand event in the empire, and it is also a grand event in Hexi, it is difficult to see many governors coming to the same place at the same time to ......!" ”

"You're right." The official said: "There has never been such a grand event before, Governor Yuan of Anyi Province and Governor Mei of Hujin Province have already arrived in ......!" ”

While speaking, everyone had already arrived in the courtyard and was about to carry their luggage to the courtyard, but they had already heard a noisy sound outside, and a clear voice could be heard loudly: "Has the Jinling Sparrow arrived?" I've been waiting for a long time, who is Jinlingque? I want to see if it's true or false. ”

In the middle of the voice, only the sound of footsteps could be heard, and a group of people had already walked quickly, the first one was wearing armor, but he was not wearing armor, bronzed skin, accompanied by a large knife at his waist, he was not handsome, but he was also quite attractive, followed by four or five samurai in armor, who looked like they were all tigers and bears, fierce and powerful-
