Ever since, the large-scale transport ship and escort ship set off from the port along with Xu Xin's flagship.
As soon as he left the boundary of the capital, Xu Xin handed over the things at hand to Dao Yan as his agent, while he came to the bow of the boat to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the river.
After working so hard for so long, it's time to relax.
After all, the girls were still in their teens, and they became active before they knew it.
A'Zhu and Wang Yuyan were chatting and playing, and Dai Qisi was also fascinated by the beauty of the Central Plains.
Xu Xin was leaning against the side of the boat, enjoying the rare and pleasant time in front of him.
The boat sailed with the wind, and that night it arrived at Qingyun Port, which is the port of delivery in the middle section of the canal.
Officials at all levels in Qingyun County received the news early and came to the port to wait for Xu Xin's arrival.
There are gongs and drums, dragon and lion dances.
If outsiders don't know, seeing such a scale and etiquette, they would think that the emperor's private visit was made in his micro-clothes.
After all, this noble person passing through his own jurisdiction is not only the master of the current emperor, but also the Minister of Gu Ming appointed by the late emperor on his deathbed.
At a young age, he was in charge of the imperial city guard, and even made great military exploits for the former emperor!
If he could curry favor with him at this time, then it would not be impossible for him to enter the court and face the saint directly in the future.
Thinking of this, everyone knelt down to greet Xu Xin's fleet before it landed.
Xu Xin got off the boat, looked at them like this, knew what they were thinking, and said lightly: "I am just passing by here, you don't need to be so grand, just take me to the post."
Hearing this, everyone immediately got up and led the way.
that night.
Looking at the table full of food, Xu Xin felt very uncomfortable.
While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.
"My lords, Binzhou Prefecture is suffering from floods, and there are countless hungry people. How can I afford such a sumptuous meal that you arrange?"
Hearing this, the officials who were still laughing were so frightened that they fell to the ground and dared not make a sound.
Xu Xin looked at them, and said lightly: "You don't need to be nervous, I know that Qingyun County is a re-delivery port, and there will be many big shots passing by here every year. Meal, what a waste!"
"Think about the people under you! How many of them don't have to eat and sleep in the open! There are also Binzhou Prefecture next to it. Now there are countless hungry people, and they are all starving!"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who eats people's mouths and takes others' hands? Tell you, you are not allowed to engage in such ostentation in the future, otherwise, you will know what will happen, right?"
All the officials stood up and nodded continuously...
How could they not know what Xu Xin's words meant.
The people of the Imperial City Guard are all over the country, and as long as they make a slight move, the secret letter will be sent to the capital without knowing it.
"After I go back, I will write a letter to the Holy Majesty, and you will receive the notice soon. In the future, no place will be allowed to use public funds for luxurious banquets!"
The officials below are all regretful. They originally thought of leaving an impression on the imperial envoy, but now it seems that they really have an impression...
Chapter 81: Donglian Temple Qingyun County Posthouse.
Xu Xin did not bring Wang Yuyan and others with him.
One is that I have another purpose for this trip, and the other is that I am afraid that Wang Yuyan and Dai Qisi's celestial appearance will cause unnecessary trouble.
All the officials of the county have already gathered in the posthouse.
As the representative of the chubby emperor, Xu Xin naturally wanted to inquire about the situation in their jurisdictions one by one to show that the court attached great importance to their work. Of course, Xu Xin also had his own thoughts.
Since meeting Dao Yan last time, Xu Xin has become even more convinced of the truth that the great hermit hides in the city.
What if a second thousand-mile horse can really be found here?
So whether it was the county guard or the small official and school lieutenant, he personally met with him, and with a few words of encouragement, everyone was so happy that they couldn't find their backs.
From their conversation, Xu Xin noticed something strange.
As the head of a county, Governor Weng seemed to have an inexplicable fear of the county magistrate of Qingyun County. When Xu Xin mentioned that short, fat middle-aged man several times, Governor Weng's aura would immediately become disordered.
But in Xu Xin's eyes, Qingyun county magistrate is obviously just an ordinary person, unless he has some ulterior secrets.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!Tomorrow he had to leave for Binzhou, so he decided that he had to figure things out tonight.
midnight.
"what!"
Xu Xin was about to close the window when he was hit on the head by something.
When I looked closely, it was a yellow lace handkerchief wrapped with stones.
Looking out the window, a petite black figure immediately disappeared from sight.
Hearing the noise, Xiao Shan broke into the door directly, startling Xu Xin again.
Seeing the handkerchief in Xu Xin's hand, he blurted out: "My lord, I didn't expect you to like this thing..."
"What were you thinking? Someone just hit me with this thing!" Xu Xin said angrily, took off the handkerchief, and slowly spread it out.
"Wouldn't it be from the hands of everyone!"
Xu Xin praised.
Although it can be seen that people are in a hurry and only use charcoal to write, but there are only a few strokes, and the handwriting is fresh and elegant, yet graceful and elegant.
If you use that person to hold the lake pen, melt the Hui ink on the Duan inkstone, write on the rice paper, and mount it, it can almost be used as a treasure handed down from generation to generation.
I saw the above book "Visiting the Donglian Temple in Shanxi at night, and the doubts in my heart can be solved by myself."
"This woman's physical skills are superb, why did she lead me to Donglian Temple?"
Xu Xin said to himself.
I didn't expect that I was just passing through here for disaster relief, and now it seems that I have to solve the case again.
"How does your lord know it's a woman?" Xiao Shan asked naively.
Xu Xin shook the handkerchief in front of Xiao Shan: "Have you ever seen a man use such a cute handkerchief to deliver a message?" Xu Xin explained helplessly.
At this time, the old drunkard also heard the sound.
Seeing the writing on the handkerchief, I snatched it away, praised repeatedly, and indulged in the world of calligraphy.
"Ahem!" Xu Xin pretended to moisten his throat.
The old drunkard realized that he had lost his composure.
"Your Excellency laughed... old man, I guess that woman is in the prime of her life, otherwise she wouldn't use such a color handkerchief. Besides, to be able to write such meaningful words, even a scholarly family is at least one of the few big families .In the end, she was able to find you without you noticing, which means that she is also from a family of Jianghu, and she is not young."
In just a few breaths, the old drunkard was able to get a rough idea of the person's information from a handkerchief, and Xu Xin couldn't help but stick out his thumb.
Unexpectedly, the old drunkard looked at Xu Xin, the wrinkles on his face gradually folded together, and said with a smile.
"My lord, can I give the old man the handkerchief?"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Xin and Xiao Shan looked at the old drunkard with a terrified expression.
"My lord, can you let me finish my sentence? Old man, I used to be a scholar. Seeing such fresh and elegant characters, I feel itchy and unbearable. I want to go back and copy them." The old drunkard said with a smile.
Xu Xin snatched back the handkerchief and said, "You'd better bring it, lest outsiders misunderstand and lose face for our imperial city guard. If you are really interested, after I return her handkerchief, I will ask someone to write to you again. Just one picture, you have to frame it.”
"Hahaha, sir is still thoughtful, so let's go now?" The old drunkard couldn't hold back anymore.
"Let's go."
Xu Xin and the old drunkard changed into night clothes.
Seeing this, Xiao Shan pulled them back: "My lord, aren't you afraid that they are trying to lure you into their trap?"
"Not really, otherwise it wouldn't be better for the woman to seduce the adults with her real face." The old drunkard said meaningfully to Xu Xin.
"Besides, you can see that she is a little hasty in writing, which shows that the enemy has already spotted her when she came, so she won't be trapped."
"Why don't you just guard here, and if something happens, you'll have someone to take care of you, so that the whole army won't be wiped out." Xu Xin told Xiao Shan.
After speaking, it was convenient for the old drunkard to use his standing method and escape into the night.
In the dark night, the old drunkard struggled to follow Xu Xin.
"My lord! Where did you get the peerless skills? I can't keep up with you, old man. It seems that your cultivation is improving day by day." The old drunkard gasped.
The original first catcher's agility is not built, otherwise how to catch the fugitive.
"Old man, you are very bad, haha. I don't know if it is considered a masterpiece. This set of exercises is called Shenxing Taibao. If you are interested, I will teach you when I have time." Xu Xin smiled proudly.
"Shenxing Taibao? Could it be Yunzhonghe's fellow?"
"Yes, it's his." Xu Xin didn't intend to hide anything, and then told the old drunkard the ins and outs of the matter.
Not long after, the two arrived at Donglian Temple built in the deep mountains.
Before leaving, Xu Xin already had a general understanding with the clerk at the posthouse. Donglian Temple was built in recent years. Although it is located in the deep mountains, there are quite a lot of people who come to pay homage due to its efficacies.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a problem. Could it be that woman cheated on me?
Just as Xu Xinzuo was muttering, a light yellow figure flew down in front of them.
Although I told Xu Xinlai that she is also a beautiful woman through the quietness on the handkerchief, but after seeing the real person with his own eyes, he was still shocked.
The woman has delicate features, delicate and lovely appearance, two shallow dimples, and a smile that is even more innocent.
As soon as he saw Xu Xin, he quickly pulled Xu Xin with both hands: "Brother Daxia, you are really here to help! It seems that you are really as warm-hearted as the rumors!"
Li Dio smiled slightly, her eyes flowed, her cheeks were slightly red, and the faint moonlight shone on her white and tender snow-like face, Yuxue was lovely.
The silver bell-like voice was indescribably pleasant to the ear, and Xu Xin was instantly fascinated.
As a martial artist, compared with the heroic Mu Qing, she seems a little more immature and cute.
Xu Xin didn't know how to react for a while, but felt that his little hands were soft and delicate, and couldn't help being slightly embarrassed.
He wanted to break free, but was a little bit reluctant, so he looked at the little girl in front of him tenderly.
Chapter 82 Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea
"The girl is from Peach Blossom Island in the East China Sea?" The old drunkard beside him opened his mouth and pulled Xu Xin back from his trance.
"Grandpa, you also know Peach Blossom Island. They call my grandfather 'Huang Laoxie'! Hehe, they call me 'Little Dongxie'."
Guo Xiang seemed very satisfied with this title, her eyes turned into crescent moons.
After Xu Xin listened to the conversation between the two, he quickly withdrew his grasped hand.
"It turned out to be Miss Guo from 'Little Dongxie'. No wonder she is so eccentric, she looks like a fairy and is also chivalrous and tender." Xu Xin hurriedly flattered her, if she knew that I killed Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng, it would be bad...
Guo Xiang seemed to be enjoying it too. She giggled and poked Xu Xin's stomach with her elbow.
"My lord brother, you are not bad!"
Hearing such a strange title, Xu Xin couldn't help but smile wryly.
Guo Xiang's title of "Little Dongxie" is not just for shouting, Xu Xin's confusion can be seen at a glance, she stood on tiptoe hard, patted Xu Xin's shoulder and said.
"My lord, that is my respectful title for you. Brother, you are older than me. As for the hero, it is because you are alone that you killed Yan Shisan, the poison king of the Western Regions, Wu Xinghe, and the four villains. There are my two senior brothers and sisters who were expelled by my grandfather."
"I came to the Central Plains this time because my grandpa asked me to clean up the house. What the two of them have done in recent years has made Peach Blossom Island bear a bad reputation. Grandpa is so angry that he doesn't even go to Huashan Lunjian. Fortunately, heroes Brother, you helped me."
"Stop, the more you talk about it, the more dizzy I become." Xu Xin's mind started to buzz, and he waved his hands quickly.
"I want to ask Miss Guo why you came to me, and Donglian Temple doesn't seem to be any different." Xu Xin was afraid that she would continue, so he quickly changed the subject.
Guo Xiang took out another piece of paper from her cuff, hooked her little finger and waited for Xu Xin to approach, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Daxia, look, I found the note inside. Many women have disappeared recently. I Follow the clues and come here.”
Xu Xin took the note, on which was written "Vacuum hometown, lifeless mother"!
"White Lotus Sect!" Xu Xin and the old drunk blurted out.
"Your Excellency is really smart! The brothers of our beggar gang also heard about the White Lotus Sect. We suspect that this is one of their strongholds."
Xiao Shan's naive look appeared in Xu Xin's mind.
"Miss Guo, beggar gang? Are you the leader of the largest gang in the world?"
Guo Xiang was slightly puzzled: "No, no, it stands to reason that my uncle is the leader of the gang."
"It stands to reason that your uncle is the leader of the sect?" Xu Xinzhanger's monk was puzzled.
