Chapter 126 Suspicion·Unconditional Protection

Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Anfeng walked in the direction of Hanguan for two days before turning back. They rushed to catch up to Aoguan, which took another four days.

Except for drinking water on the way, they kept running.

But they didn't meet Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan until they reached the pass.

Xie Anfeng saw that Zhou Shaoyu was concerned but confused, so he said, "Isn't Yan'er and Wen Rong not here yet?"

Zhou Shaoyu calculated it and said, "No, they should be there even if they travel 80 miles a day."

"Then we should have passed the customs. Let's follow the road outside to find them in Shanyang County."

Xie Yanyan's double-wheel drive carriage is parked at the inn in Shanyang County!
Several people left Yaoguan and ran directly to Shanyang County. The further I walked, the more I felt something was wrong. There was no one on the entire official road.

Did he really fail?

Halfway there, Zhou Shaoyu asked Xie Anfeng to continue walking to Shanyang County, and he and Zhou Jin turned around and walked back.

In fact, I was more worried about whether Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan were attacked.

Zhou Shaoyu ran all the way and met Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan at Yaoguan. The brother and sister thought that they had not come over and were still waiting for them in Yaoguan.

Both sides breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving Yaoguan, there is a place called Dawagou Town. The sun has turned to the west, and the road ahead is a mountain road under the ridges. There may be bandits and wild beasts hiding in the mountains and forests. They are not in a hurry to travel in the dark. , settled in Dawagouzhen.

Dawagou has mountains and water on one side, but the town's economy mainly relies on the caravans traveling to and from Laoguan Pass. There are many stalls, small restaurants, and inns.

A group of children came down from the mountain with backpacks on their backs. When they saw a few of them, they asked with a smile: "Would you like to buy wild honey?"

The boy selling honey was about ten years old. His left eye was swollen like an egg, and his forehead also had two swollen patches.

These children were all stung by bees to varying degrees.

The eldest child took out an earthen jar from his basket, and you could clearly see several light yellow honey pieces.

Zhou Jin took out the honey, opened the honeycomb, looked at it, and said, "This is native honey."

There were three pieces of honey in the earthen jar, not particularly large pieces, but the four boys had done their best and their faces were all stung.

"How do you want to sell it?" Zhou Jin asked, "The honey is not very good. You didn't cut it well. It was broken into pieces and covered with a lot of dust."

Several children said at once: "There is very little local honey. We only found this place in the entire mountain forest."

"This is already a big piece. Where's the dirt? Try it, it's really sweet."

While they were arguing, the seven or eight-year-old boy put down his backpack and said proudly: "I picked up a beautiful stone."

Zhou Shaoyu glanced at the stone and immediately grabbed it.

It was a piece of mutton-fat white jade covered with mud, square in shape.

The jade color is pure and flawless, crystal clear and moist, without any irritation. There is a button on it, a high-relief sculpture of a prostrate tiger. Chihu looks ferocious, with round and protruding eyes, a raised nose and square lips, an open mouth and exposed teeth, ears set back, and its tail hidden in cloud patterns.

Xie Yanyan: Isn’t it the emperor’s jade seal or something?
Zhou Shaoyu put down the Sifang Jade and asked calmly: "How much does honey cost?"

When they asked about honey again, the older child knew they wanted it and said, "This honey is more than three kilograms. Can I give it 200 yuan?"

One tael of silver cost about 1 yuan, and he felt that it was already too high for 250 yuan.

Zhou Shaoyu said nothing.

Zhou Jin said: "200 dollars is too much, you didn't clean it up."

The older child slowly counter-offered and said, "How about 180?"

Zhou Shaoyu said: "180 yuan is fine, but you give us this square stone." The seven or eight-year-old child was very happy to hear that the stones he picked up could contribute to the success of his brothers' business. He looked at his brother and said proudly: " Brother, the noble people like the stones I picked up."

With 180 money, I bought 3 kilograms of native honey.

After the children left, Zhou Shaoyu put the stones away without looking at them.

Both Xu Wenrong and Xie Yanyan knew that the stone was definitely not simple.

A few people strolled along the street leisurely. Xie Yanyan bought a bag of saltpeter from a place selling saltpeter on the street, and bought some fruits, red beans, mung beans and the like.

"It's so hot." Zhou Jin said flatteringly, "Miss Xie, can you make some more fruit?"

Xie Yanyan said: "I will make popsicles for you today."

Back at the inn, Xie Yanyan closed the door and "made popsicles" in the room.

Make some popsicles? Buying saltpeter and mung beans and red beans is just a cover-up. She has so much ice cream and popsicles in her space, why don’t she keep them expired if she doesn’t eat them?
A box of ice cream was brought out. The popsicles were the most common red bean and mung bean popsicles, without the chocolate crispy ones.

A few people went to a restaurant for dinner. Zhou Shaoyu ordered a few dishes. While waiting for the waiter to serve them, several men next door were chattering.

"Something happened in Chang'an! The roads were blocked. We were trapped for three days. We searched eight generations of our ancestors before we were released."

"what happened?"

"Something happened to Governor He and Huxiao Camp. Governor He was smashed to death, and the soldiers of Huxiao Camp were possessed by evil spirits."

"Really or not? Can Governor He be beaten to death? He is the emperor of the northwest, who can beat him to death? And his Tiger Roar Camp, they are all living kings of hell, can they be beaten to death?"

"It's true. Governor He took his henchman General Han and 1000 elite soldiers to catch the rebels or something, but they were stoned to death. It is said that the stones fell from the sky. Oh, brains. It’s all over the floor, it’s so miserable.”

"Smashed them all to death?"

"No, they beat Governor He and his henchmen to death, and a woman was also beaten to death, but no one else died.

Those who survived all talked nonsense, saying that they had met ghosts and smashed the wall, and some said that imps drove whirlwinds, carrying sand and dust, and trapped them in the wind and sand town. The horses were gone.

Big rocks fell like heavy rain, breaking their legs and smashing Governor He's head. But Master Jade sent someone to check, and there were no big rocks at all. Everyone said they were possessed by evil spirits! "

"What the hell? He's acting like a ghost. What kind of rebel are they trying to catch?"

"Those living elite soldiers only heard about catching rebels, but they didn't know what they were called."

They kept talking, and Xie Yanyan's entire table listened with their ears raised high.

However, everyone unanimously remained calm.

The rice in Xu Wenrong's bowl was tasteless, and his eyeballs were shaking.

【I am not dreaming】

[I really saw Governor He and the female killer]

[Is this related to my sister? 】

[Whether she is a sister or not, it has nothing to do with her]

The gentle and jade-like Young Master Xu thought of this, took a deep breath, looked at Xie Yanyan, and smiled fondly.

Even if it was my sister who did it.
Well done! !
When Zhou Shaoyu heard that "big rocks fell from the sky and killed Governor He and the female secret guard", he immediately thought of several previous legendary cases of big rocks falling from the sky.

[She was present every time the rocks were thrown]

[Did she build the big stone formation? 】
