It has been raining across the south of the Yangtze River for several days, and I don’t know how long it will take.

In the middle of the night, rain splashed on the muddy official road, and hundreds of light horses rode through the rain curtains under the night. The water droplets hit the hat and slid down the straw raincoat. Occasionally, the autumn wind blew, and you could see the bright sword light under the straw raincoat.

After nearly three days of rapid horse racing, he galloped for more than 400 miles, and finally arrived at Lishui County, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangning, not far from his destination.

Because of Fang La's rebellion, there were checkpoints on the official road, and officers and soldiers were stationed day and night. There were horse-resisting horses on the official road, and two officers and soldiers stood in simple pavilions, holding torches and watching.

Han'er, who was in the lead, walked in front, took out the Black Feather Guard's sign and shook it, and said loudly:

"Diankuisi is in charge of business, and idle people are withdrawing."

When the officers and soldiers saw this, their expressions changed slightly, and they moved away the horse in fear and fear, allowing hundreds of light cavalry to pass by without any obstacles.

The Heiyu Guard went out to do business, which was much easier than leading troops to fight. The territory of the Song Dynasty was unobstructed, and officials had no right to interfere. The post stations along the way were also given priority, and unconditional supplies and meals were provided. There were hidden posts everywhere to respond.

These are a system built by Xue Jiuquan for a lifetime, which is efficient, simple and violent. Unfortunately, I have never been able to use it on the blade in my life. I can only maintain the scale of three thousand people and do some trivial things to wipe the emperor's butt.

Cao Hua rode on a big black horse with a horse lance hanging on the side of his boots. Even if he was wearing a straw raincoat and a hat, it was difficult to avoid the rain coming towards him with the wind, and raindrops kept rolling on his face.

"Where have you been?"

The rustling raincoat on his chest stretched out a little bit, and Zhu Qufei stuck her cheek out in a daze, and the raindrops brushed her face, and hurriedly buried her face in Cao Hua's chest.

Cao Hua hugged his left hand a little tightly, closed the leaking straw raincoat, and put his chin against Zhu Qufei's hair bun:

"Lishui."

"oh..."

Zhu Qu Fei sat in Cao Hua's arms with a soft body, facing each other. After sitting for a long time, she couldn't help but feel sore. She moved slightly and put her face on Cao Hua's shoulders.

Cao Hua hugged her buttocks and made her sit more comfortable: "I'll arrive at the station soon and I'll be able to rest later."

"I can't rest when I arrive at the station..."

Zhu Qufei woke up and muttered a little dissatisfied. She had been hiding in Jiangnan for many years and was familiar with the green forests in Jiangnan. Cao Hua needed a guide to go out to do business, but she agreed without considering it.

The result was good. The role of the guide was not played out, and the role of the concubine was fully played. During the day, she rushed to ride a horse together, and at night she served people. She said many times that the "last time" was not available, but it was useless. If she didn't agree, she would threaten her. If she didn't agree, she would use the strong one. She would be addicted.

After all, Concubine Zhu Qu is a woman. No matter how firm your mind is, you can’t find any way except to bear it. Seeing that it was about to arrive at the post station again, Concubine Zhu Qu pursed her lips, and her mature and charming cheeks showed some reluctance. She thought about it:

"Little Langjun, tell you something."

"how?"

"I...I'm pregnant..."

"Um?"

Cao Hua frowned slightly, groped under the straw raincoat, slid across his weak waist and legs, and found the wrist hidden behind him. As the first martial artist of the Song Dynasty, Cao Hua naturally had some knowledge of the basic skills of catching pulses. He could not see any difficult and complicated diseases, and he was still very happy.

Zhu Qufei's face froze, she twisted her arms for a few times, and stopped talking.

"Dare you lie to me? You haven't suffered enough?" Cao Hua's voice was slightly cold.

Concubine Zhu Qu bit her thin lips and snorted indescribably: "You and I don't even have a single title. I'm serious about your elders..."

"That's so exciting." Cao Hua responded calmly.

Concubine Zhu Qu raised her hand and smashed it on his shoulder, but she had no choice but to continue talking: "You are so sturdy, what if you are pregnant that naively, how can I explain it to others?"

"Don't worry, I have my own sense."

"You have a hammer... I can tell that you are obedient and serving others to me. Yes, I can't compare to the golden branches and leaves of your family. At home, you have to serve your wife gently and gently, so that you can do whatever you want without any scruples in front of me... I am also a beautiful girl, shy and embarrassed, do you know how embarrassed I feel?"

"I didn't see it."

"you--"

Zhu Qufei held it in for a while and seemed to be really angry. She turned her head and stopped talking.

Cao Hua covered her body with a straw raincoat and pressed her into his arms. Zhu Qufei struggled a few times, but after it was ineffective, she could only speak up and talk about the serious matter:

"There are many people gathered in Jiangning. There are a lot of people in the city, and there are also people in the townships and counties. Among them, Zhang Zhengqi, the "Little Dragon King" of Chishan Shui Village, has more than a dozen ships under his command, and has been selling and buying boats for many years. The news spirit informs Xiaomenlu that Qiu Dao Ren came to tie meat tickets, and he must be indispensable."

Cao Hua nodded slightly and said aloud: "Prepare it first, go to Chishan Lake tomorrow."

"promise!"

The black feather guards in the rear all claimed to be worthy.

Zhu Qufei surrounded Cao Hua's waist under the straw raincoat. She thought about it carefully, moved her cheek a little, and looked at Cao Hua:

"By the way, Xiao Langjun, Qiu Dao Ren is very famous in Jiangnan and has met me. He is a master of light skills and guns and sticks. He has been doing kidnapped and buying for many years. He basically has a seven-day deadline. He will kill people and fly away. This time it is a bit different."

“What’s the difference?”

"Everyone in the martial arts world pays attention to coming and going like the wind. No one will bring a few boxes of silver to run away. This time, he asked for five million taels of silver. Ten thousand taels of silver weighing more than 600 kilograms. He had to pack a whole box, five million taels, that is, five hundred boxes of cash silver..."

"Now that the rebellion has been made, a large number of silver notes cannot be fulfilled, so we have to cash the silver. Fang La found a ship and waited for the ship to go downstream and was taken over by Fang La's people before letting them go, so it was given so long."

Zhu Qufei nodded, thought for a while, and suddenly showed a little cunning:

"Little Langjun, you are so powerful, you secretly send someone to rob the ship..."

"Black eats black...this is a good idea."

"I know a lot of people, so why don't I contact the people and I will get half of the things you get... 30%... Okay, 10% can't be missing..."

"After following me, do you still want money? Isn't yours mine?"

“….”

.........

The team galloped in the muddy and rainy ground. Lanterns of the post station appeared in front of them. The banners swayed with the wind and rain. There were postmen waiting below. After seeing the Heiyu Guard's team, they quickly rang the gong and opened the fence of the horse shed.

The war horses knew the tricks, so they ran into the horse shed without anyone guiding them. The postmen fed them one by one with the weeds.

The Black Feather Guards took off their hats and found a place to rest in the inn, leaving only a few people on duty.

After walking through the hall and coming to the room where the officials were staying, Cao Hua asked for hot water, and his whole body was soaked and felt a little uncomfortable. He took a little more comfort after cleaning and changed into a clean robe.

Not long after the inn stopped at the inn, someone came in outside the inn and asked the inn to come in to report.

Cao Hua came to the lobby of the inn in a robe, but saw Zhou Bangyan, dressed in the robe of a scorching county magistrate, walking down the eaves with an umbrella. He still had a handsome face, but there was a bit of sadness between his eyebrows, and there were two yamen runners standing behind him.

"Duke Zhou!"

Cao Hua knew that Zhou Bangyan was the county magistrate in Lishui, so he was not surprised by this. He walked to the gate and raised his hand gently and gave a scholar's ceremony.

Zhou Bangyan had a casual and polite expression. After raising his hand slightly, he put away the oil-paper umbrella and handed it to the yamen runners. He followed Cao Hua into the hall:

"Governor Cao, you're here. I wonder if your trip is for Miss Shishi?"

Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi have known each other for many years. When they heard that their old friend was tied up, they were naturally anxious.

Cao Hua took an oil lamp and placed it on the table, lit it with a fire note, and said softly: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, Fang La's subordinates will not kill the life of the Shishi girl. I rushed over and rushed for this matter."

Zhou Bangyan sat at the table, rubbed his fingers, pondered for a long time before sighing:

"I only nodded with Governor Cao, but I had a conclusion in my mind about Governor Cao's talent..."

Cao Hua sat at the table and waved his hand: "Poetry, songs and essays are all paths after all. It is okay to spend time in leisure to cultivate your mood, but it is difficult to use it. A person's talent should be used to stabilize the country and maintain peace. Writing a few poems is a talent. I don't rely on this to make a living."

Zhou Bangyan was stunned, and after a moment of reminiscing, then nodded seriously: "Governor Gao Cai, this is what he said..."

"This is what I said after Xu Ziling from Hangzhou, not what I said."

"Oh... it turned out to be Mr. Xu, no wonder... I just said why the governor suddenly became worried about the country and the people..."

Halfway through, Zhou Bangyan noticed something was wrong, coughed, and returned to the topic:

"Shi Shi is pure and kind, indifferent to fame and fortune. I have known her for a long time. After all, she is a miserable woman, and she is dragged down by her identity. With her talent and mind, if she has an innocent identity, she may not be able to leave another record in history books..."

"Even with this current reputation, it can be remembered by history books."

"No, no matter how good a woman is, she is just a joke in the ages and cannot reach the elegance... Shishi is not a talented man of high spirits or a high-ranking look down on the world, but she just doesn't like other people's charity, so she refuses people from thousands of miles away. What the governor does in the name of "Su Shi" can be said to be in line with Shishi's wishes..."

Cao Hua picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea, pushed it to Zhou Bangyan: "Mr. Zhou, I understand that you are worried about the safety of Shishi's girl, but when you come up, you are a little old, which is a bit over."

Zhou Bangyan looked at the tea bowl and was silent for a moment. After all, he shook his head and sighed: "The governor is not a scholar, so he naturally does not understand the sadness of scholars. The most heart-wrenching thing in the world is to look at the heroes in the evening and the beauty and white hair. Shishi is already twenty-three. As her few confidants, what can I do except do my best?"

Cao Hua thought for a while: "I will take Miss Shishi out of the thief's nest first, and then let's talk about this?"

Zhou Bangyan nodded, stopped talking, stood up and bowed, and then left the inn with two yamen runners.

Cao Hua sat at the table for a while, and finally shook his head:
Chapter completed!
