After resting for two years, Wang Xian and the others left Zhengzhou, and there was a handsome offspring in the team, that is, the dragon girl who took the initiative to invite Ying. In fact, everyone complained a lot about taking this woman on the road, but Wang Xian finally agreed when he saw Erhei's heartbeat.

After counting the rì, the team left Henan and entered the territory of Shanxi. Shanxi lives up to its name, at a glance there are all the mountain beams, but fortunately, the official road under the foot is quite flat, which does not affect the team's hurry.

As soon as you enter the territory of Shanxi, in addition to the mountains in your eyes, you can also feel the atmosphere of different places here, all the passes are on strict guard, all the prefectures and counties are stepping up the investigation, the wanted warrants for the White Lotus Sect can be seen everywhere, and you can also see a series of men and women being escorted into the city by the officials and soldiers, this reasonable and unexpected phenomenon is quite surprising.

Finally, when he arrived in Gaoping County, when he learned that Zhou Zhi County, who came to greet him, was a native of Hangzhou, Wang Xian and the other party talked about their fellow villagers at the same time, and asked the question in their hearts, the White Lotus Sect was in Guangling County in the north of Shanxi, how many miles away from here, why is it so tense here?

"Is there no big mistake in being careful...... Zhou Zhixian smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know anything about the difference, the White Lotus Sect is in my Shanxi, it can be said that it is pervasive, which state and county does not have their altar mouth and incense hall?" Now that there is a lot of trouble in Guangling County, the White Lotus Sect members elsewhere are also deeply encouraged, if one day our White Lotus Sect also follows Liu Zijin's example to kill officials and rebel, then our own lives will not be guaranteed, and our relatives at home will be implicated. "The magistrate has the responsibility of defending the land, and once the city falls, sometimes even if he is martyred, there is still the danger of exile for the whole family

"I see." Wang Xian felt that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't delve into it, and asked instead: "What is the situation in Guangling County now?" ”

"It is said that the armies of Datong and Xuanfu have trapped them in Guangling from both sides." Zhou Zhixian sighed and said: "But in addition to the mountains and rivers in Guangling County, they can escape into Heng Mountain at any time, and then go up to Taihang Mountain, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for the officials and soldiers to clear them." ”

The two sighed for a while, and Wang Xian asked a few more questions about the Jin Domain, but obviously Zhou Zhixian didn't want to talk deeply, and the role of seeing the friendship of fellow villagers was nothing more than that, so he had to keep his mouth shut and only talk about Fengyue.

Zhou Zhixian was also a little embarrassed, but he seemed to have a lot of scruples, and only whispered to Wang Xian when they were separated: "Go back quickly after finishing your errand, Shanxi is not a place to stay for a long time." After saying that, he bowed his hand and hurried away.

Wang Xian looked at his back and thought for a moment.

After half a day in Gaoping County, the team suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing in, and Mo Wen said in a deep voice: "It's a large team"

"Alert" Xu Huaiqing snapped, and the well-trained soldiers hurriedly occupied the nearby mountain bag, looking at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer.

At this time, it was already clear that the other party was dressed as an official soldier, and everyone's hearts were half relieved, and the scout stepped forward to contact the other party, and after a while, he brought back a military attache with a thousand household decorations, and the military attache saw that Wang Xian, who was headed by him, was so young, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and then his expression was solemn, and he knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general of Shanxi Prefecture Yamen Qianhu Quartz, was ordered to come to meet Lord Qincha"

"There are thousands of households." Wang Xian nodded, and asked with a smile, "I don't know which adult's order Qianhu serves?" "Everyone is a thousand households, but Wang Xian, a thousand households, is a thousand households in brocade clothes, and he has the aura of Qincha, so he is naturally much more than the other party.

"Of course, it's our Todai-sama and Fandai-sama." Quartz said: "The last general was ordered to go to the provincial border to meet the mission, but I didn't expect the mission to come so quickly, forgive the sins." ”

"What a crime is there for a thousand households." Wang Xian smiled and said, "Then it will be troublesome for thousands of households." ”

"That's what the last general should do." Quartz said respectfully, and then ordered the team to turn around and escort Wang Xian north. With the head snake with him, Wang Xian's journey was much more comfortable. Everywhere they went, the local government and post houses had already prepared hot soup and hot meals for the guards and packed up their accommodations. Wang Xianhe is in his mind, so naturally he has a good meal of wine and food, and the accommodation conditions are also good, and he has nothing to say.

After dinner that day, Wu Wei went to Wang Xian's house to drink tea, although it was already dark, but there were lamps hanging on the beams of this Xuanchang North House, there were lamps sitting in the corners, and lamps were also placed on the bookcase, and more than a dozen lamps were lit at the same time, reflecting the room as bright as day

"Tsk," Xu Huaiqing stood in the house, looking up and down, left and right, and said, "Who said that Shanxi is a poor place?" These inns where they live, that is more generous than the other. ”

"What kind of eyes do you have" Wang Xian scolded with a smile: "I can't see the furnishings in the room, they are all new."

"Yes." Wu Wei is a knowledgeable person, nodded and said: "There is a sè Huanghuali furniture in this house, the bookcase is sandalwood, the paper, pen and ink inkstones on it are all jīng products from Huizhou, the table and the high-quality fine porcelain bowls on the coffee table, as well as these vases and paintings, are actually antiques from the two Song Dynasty." ”

"Calculate how much this room costs." Wang Xian said to Wu Wei.

"At least thirty thousand taels of silver." Wu Wei estimated it and said: "The most expensive thing is this authentic handiwork of Su Dongpo, which is no less than 10,000 taels of silver in the capital." ”

"What inn can use such expensive furnishings?" Wang Xian said with a smile: "It's obviously changed for us."

"Tsk, this treatment," Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "Qincha is different." ”

"The treatment is good, but on the other hand, they guard me like a thief." Wang Xian sneered: "Before Gaoping County, we could still see some real things, but since Shi Qianhu came up, we have been isolated by them, we can only see what they want us to see, we can only listen to what they want us to hear, so we can also investigate a fart case."

Everyone thought so, Xu Huaiqing said: "No wonder in the play, the ministers of the Qin Mission have to pay a private visit, my lord, how good is it for us to have a private visit at the beginning?" ”

"You think we're acting?" Wu Wei chirped.

"There are rules for the behavior of the Qincha, and when you cross the state and county borders, you must notify the local government, and the state and county officials must come to pay homage." Mo Wen explained: "If the adults don't show up, people will immediately know that we have a small move, and we still have a private interview?" ”

"Is everything that was staged fake?" Xu Huaiqing said regretfully.

"Not necessarily, it still depends on the situation, sometimes you have to do this extraordinary thing as a last resort." Wang Xian smiled: "But how far away are we from Taiyuan? I'm micro-serving now, is it a little early? ”

"Also, if half of the road is arrested by the government, it will be a shame for the old man." Xu Huaiqing nodded.

"By the way, what about Erhei?" Wang Xian asked.

"He's going to go around behind the dragon girl's ass." Xu Huaiqing said with a smile: "How can Miss Ren Long roll her eyes, he is like a dog skin plaster, firmly attached to people's cheeks"

"Ha Lu haha......" There was a burst of laughter in the room, and after laughing, Wang Xianzheng said to everyone: "Then don't care about him." People blindfold us, we can't just let it go, although I can't go, but you can. Saying that, he looked at Xianyun and Wu Weidao: "The two of you will find an opportunity to leave the team quietly, and go to the tomb of King Jin in front of me to see if you can meet Zhu Jixi secretly." I think he can show us the way.

"Yes." The two of them responded in a deep voice.

"If you can't see anyone," Wang Xian said, "you are waiting in Taiyuan to meet me." ”

"Yes." The two were commanded.

The rest of the people also looked at Wang Xian, but when they saw him, they waved their hands and said, "Go to sleep."

Protected by the guards, he was ushered in and sent by the local government, and Wang Xian had heard more than ten years of flattery, but he had not heard much along the way, so he came to Taiyuan, the provincial capital of Shanxi.

Taiyuan, known as Jinyang in ancient times, also known as Dragon City, stands on the shoulders of the world, the key point of the four stoppers, and controls the capital of the five plains, and has been an important town for the king to compete for the world since ancient times. Its city is high and strong, no less than the imperial capital, and it is densely populated, and several types are in the south of the Yangtze River.

Wang Xian arrived in Taiyuan, and the officials on the ground in Shanxi held a grand welcoming ceremony. Shanxi political envoy Zhang Chūn, Shanxi Governor Zhou Yan, Taiyuan Governor He Zhucai and others, all outside the city ten miles to greet the Qincha, in the sound of ceremonial music, Wang Xian for the emperor to accept their gifts, only to hurriedly return the salute and said: "The lower officials meet your lords."

"Don't be polite," Zhou Fantai was in his sixties, his face was full of wrinkles, and he said in a Henan official voice: "It's hard to come from afar, and the old man has set up a banquet in the official office to wash the dust for the Shangcha." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." The political envoy is a member of the second grade, before the appearance of the governor, he was the highest local governor, the feudal official in the propagation, Wang Xian is a five-grade military attaché, although he has the name of Qincha, but he does not dare to hold up in front of the other party.

The banquet was held in the Yamen of the political envoy, and most of the officials on the ground in Taiyuan arrived, and the gentry and seniors in the provincial capital also came to cheer them. Sitting full of more than a dozen Eight Immortals table, the table is full of all kinds of dishes, in addition to the Yellow River carp, there are rare things such as abalone winged sea cucumber, although it is a cold winter season, melons and fruits are still piled up like a mountain, Fenjiu, bamboo leaves and green overflow the fragrance of the nose. In addition, there is a troupe, what kind of drama is being staged, gongs and drums are strong, and the silk strings are long, which makes people feel like they are in a peaceful and prosperous world.

If it was in the past, Wang Xian would naturally enjoy it. The xìng grid of the little official's background will make him quite complacent, I can't imagine that Lao Tzu also has today, a provincial domain and Lao Tzu are drinking and the provincial gentry are all accompanying each other below, which is really cool

But this time, when he looked at the staggered crowds in the hall and the wine pond and meat forest, he always saw in front of him the appearance of the people who were hungry and fell to the ground with hunger along the way, which made him feel unpleasant to eat, like sitting on pins and needles.

The local officials in Shanxi over there were all staring at him coldly, and when they saw the appearance of Lord Qincha's soullessness, they secretly laughed, thinking that this hairy boy was made fluttering by the grand welcome scene today.

At the end of the banquet, Zhou Fantai wanted to personally send Wang Xian to Qinchaxingyuan, but Wang Xian resolutely refused. Wang Xian said a lot, and now he was flattered, and he must not kill the kid or anything like that, so Zhou Fantai had to stay and let the Taiyuan prefect send him back.

The Shanxi government prepared for him to send a messenger,
