Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 9572
Outside the city of Yizhou.

After chatting for a while, Zi Yan already knew the names of the four hidden guards who followed Silver Eye.

Baili Hanmo, Gong Yongsi, Chu Shi, He Hongcai...

Zi Yan has a strong memory, and these names were quickly memorized.

But for a while, there are still some things that don't match up.

"All four of you are from Bozhou?" Ziyan asked.

Since they were all brought by Silver Eye, they must have passed Silver Eye's test and gained his trust.

Zi Yan has always been suspicious of people, not suspicious of employing people.

She didn't question the four of them, because it was a distrust of Silver Eye.

Silvereye can be trusted, that's for sure.

"Back to your lord, we are all from Banzhou, but we were not from the same place before."

It was He Hongcai who answered.

Among the four, He Hongcai was the one with the most bookish spirit.

"No wonder you speak with different accents."

Zi Yan smiled, and gestured while speaking.

Following her gestures, the guards pulled out the horses from the nearby woods.

All their horses were brought from Zhuque County, and they were all typical northern horses.

The horses that Silver Eye and the others rode were from the southwest. They were not as tall and majestic as the northern horses, but they were full of stamina.

"Can your lord recognize the accents of the four of us?"

He Hongcai and the others were surprised.

"He Hongcai, are you from Mingxi County, Bozhou? Baili Hanmo is from Baita County, Bozhou? Gong Yongsi is from Xining, Chushi is from Dongning... isn't it?"

Zi Yan smiled.

He Hongcai and the others looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

You know, when they saw Zi Yan for the first time, seeing her young and handsome face, they couldn't help feeling a little contempt in their hearts.

But now after talking with Ziyan, they know that the adult who came this time is capable, at least he doesn't have a dark eye for Bozhou.

"Your Excellency said, we are all from Bozhou, but the places are really different." He Hongcai and others said humanely.

"Come on, let's start first, and wait until we reach the foot of the mountain."

Zi Yan glanced at the sky.

Everyone got on their horses and galloped away.

Two hours later, they came to a manor.

At this point, it is noon.

"I'm not in a hurry to go into the mountain for the time being, let's go have a meal first, and it won't be too late to go up the mountain again."

Silver eyes looked at Zi Yan.

"Okay, let's go after eating."

Zi Yan nodded.

This manor is also Yinwei's property, and it is currently under the name of Yinyan and is under his management.

Entering the manor, Yinyan took the guards, He Hongcai and others to a banquet, and Ziyan went into the room alone to rest.

When she entered the room, the first thing she did was to wash off the disguise on her face and put on a women's gown suitable for women. At this time, she didn't need to cover up too much.

After all, the disguise should not last too long, all kinds of paints are not good for the skin, and she still needs to control her voice. It is not a special situation, and it is not worth doing.

After Yin Yan and the others had eaten and drank enough, when they saw Zi Yan again, their eyes widened.

Except for the guards who knew Zi Yan's true face, Yin Yan, He Hongcai and others couldn't help rubbing their eyes, for fear that they would be dazzled by drinking too much wine.

It wasn't until they confirmed it that they felt emotional.

They didn't have the heart to neglect, on the contrary, they admired Zi Yan more and more.

Being able to disguise himself into such a way that they didn't even notice it shows how clever this Lord Ziyan is.

The strong must be respected, on this basis, it doesn't matter whether it is a man or a woman.

"Where's Yang Weiqing? Didn't he set off one step earlier?"

Zi Yan fixed the gun, and asked with a soft sword.

"He went to the mountain first. There is news from there that the killer has already left. Gu Xiuzhuang, Feng Changsheng will welcome us in front."

Silver Eye said.

"Okay, we are going to enter the mountain."

Zi Yan didn't feel anything, but those personal guards were a little bit disappointed.

They also thought that there would be a big war, and as long as there was a battle to fight, they would have credit for it.

As a soldier, they definitely don't want to be a soldier all the time, and they also have the intention of making contributions.

"Don't relax your vigilance. I think there are many problems here, and you may encounter danger at any time."

Zi Yan shouted so that everyone could hear.

The identities of those killers have not yet been ascertained, their origins are unknown, and the reason why they retreated is also unknown. It can be said that the aborigines' eyes are so dark that they don't know anything.

In this case, the danger for those who go up the mountain to make contact is greatly increased.

"Is the road we're taking the road to Gujiazhai?"

Zi Yan asked.

They had already left the horses in the manor, and now she was riding in a mule cart.

The mountain where the aborigines live is called Shiwanda Mountain.

The rolling mountains of the Southwest are included.

No one can really browse the Hundred Thousand Mountains and head to the west, so when the Southern Dynasties were at their peak, the territory could only reach the edge of the mountains.

The [-] mountains blocked the pace of the Southern and Western Expeditions.

"Yes, my lord, after climbing over a mountain, we can reach Gujiazhai."

It was Gu Xiuzhuang sitting in front who spoke.

The others sat in different mules and carriages, only Gu Xiuzhuang followed Ziyan.

This is of course what Zi Yan requested.

When she talks to Gu Xiuzhuang, she only uses her normal voice, but when she talks to other people, she needs to raise the volume.

The mountain wind is very strong, and the voice of the voice can be heard indistinctly from a distance.

"The terrain of this place is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, no wonder Wan Yiren didn't send troops to attack this place."

Zi Yan's military quality is not bad, she was not idle along the way, she was driving in a mule cart, she observed the surrounding terrain and scenery.

"It was attacked before, but in the end the losses were so great that they had to give up."

Gu Xiuzhuang said.

The indigenous people can still survive in the mountains, naturally they do not rely on the compassion of others, but on their strength.

With their current strength, it is impossible to attack if they want to, but it is more than enough to defend in the mountains.

With such a terrain, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses entering the mountain may all be swallowed up.

"How did those killers get in?"

Zi Yan asked.

"They didn't go to the main village, but to the village on the nearby hills. Those places were lax and they didn't find them in time. In addition, those killers were not many in number, but they were all very skilled. Ordinary soldiers couldn't stop them. When they arrived, they retreated early.”

Gu Xiuzhuang sighed.

"Are those killers unharmed?" Zi Yan asked.

"That's not true. The killers are still injured. Our soldiers desperately left three killers behind, but they are all dead now. In this way, we didn't catch any of them alive."

Gu Xiuzhuang lowered his head in frustration.
