Yingtian Prefecture goes east to Xuzhou, and there are two official roads. One is slightly north, passing through Yucheng, Fengxian, Peixian, and entering Pengcheng County, where Xuzhou Prefecture is located.

One is slightly south, passes through Dangshan County, and Xiao County enters Pengcheng County.

Both official roads have to pass through a "risk". The official road near the north has to pass through Daze Township, Fengxian County. It is not the Daze Township where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, but there is also a low-lying lake called Daze.

This "Daze" lake is located at the junction of Shanzhou and Xuzhou. It is a two-independent area. There are also soaked water nearby. The ancient Bian Canal passes through, and the terrain is relatively complex, so bandits appear from time to time.

The official road to the south passes through the foot of Mangdang Mountain. Compared with the terrain of Daze Township, Mangdang Mountain is much more dangerous. It has been a bandit nest that bandits often appear since ancient times. Even in the prosperous era of the Song Dynasty, many bandits still fall into the grass.

Therefore, most caravans heading east from Xuzhou choose to walk the official road north and cross Daze Township.

In addition, businessmen who often walk outside also have the means to pass through dangerous places safely, that is, to walk together and hire guards at the same time.

The merchants who want to pass through the dangerous land of Daze Township usually gather in the county town of Yu County, and then jointly hire escorts to ensure that they pass through Daze Township safely.

Therefore, Yucheng County is often bustling and bustling.

When it was getting dark, Wu Haogu and his group were covered in dust and rode slowly. Seeing the bright lights at the gate of Yucheng from afar, Lin Wancheng, who had walked old in the world, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said to Wu Haogu who was following him: "Master, the city gate has not been closed yet, and you can enter the city to settle tonight."

Although Yucheng is still in the territory of Yingtianfu and the security situation is good, it is always unreliable to stay outside the city.

So after Wu Haogu and Monk Fu broke up, Lin Wancheng kept urging him to rush to the road and rushed forward. Finally, he took advantage of the fact that Yucheng County was closed, but he made Wu Haogu very tired.

"San brother, go and pass the barrier."

Wu Haogu first asked Guo Jing to pass the pass, and then said to Pan Qiaolian: "Shibalang, are you tired this way? If I had known it, I wouldn't have walked so anxiously."

Because some of the goods had been discharged, Wu Haogu returned a large mule and horse cart hired in Kaifeng Mansion in advance, and just rode his horse to the road. However, he didn't expect that the road would be bumpy, and his butt was so painful that his inner sides of his thighs were worn out, which was also bursts of pain.

Now I can’t even get rid of the horse’s back!

However, Pan Qiaolian jumped gently, then flipped off the horse's back, and her feet fell steadily. She also said to Wu Haogu with a smile: "How many roads have you walked? Why are you tired? Did Brother Dawu forget that I am the general?"

Yes, Pan Qiaolian is a general girl, not only knows how to ride horses but also shoots arrows! Even her little girl, Ping'er, is also a girl who can ride horses. Now she is pretending to be a book boy and comes down from the horse with Pan Qiaolian. How could she look a little tired?

In front of Pan Qiaolian and Xiao Ping'er, Wu Haogu could not be too cowardly and could not ask someone to help him off the horse. He had to grit his teeth and slowly climb down from the horse's back. When his feet landed on the ground, his thighs were numb and he couldn't walk the road.

Just as Wu Haogu was dismounting, Guo Jing had completed the customs clearance procedures.

"Master, can you walk? Why don't my Dalang carry it?"

Lin Wancheng had a good vision that he had long seen that Wu Haogu was a tofu rack. The horse that had been riding for most of the day was probably about to disperse.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Wu Haogu waved his hands repeatedly. He didn't want to throw such a big man in front of Pan Qiaolian, so he pulled out the Japanese knife his father had given him to defend himself and used it as a crutch.

However, when Pan Qiaolian saw this, she did not mean to look down on Wu Haogu. Instead, she wanted to go up to help her, but was stopped by Wu Haogu.

In fact, his current cowardly look is quite embarrassing even in the 21st century. However, during the Yuan Fu period of the Song Dynasty, no woman would look down on men's weakness...

A brave warrior like a leopard head may be a standard handsome man in the Han and Tang dynasties, but the Song Dynasty admired the weak scholars who could pass the Jinshi even more.

I entered the city with a samurai sword. Wu Haogu discovered that this small Yucheng was also a good place. The streets were neat and spacious, and the shops along the street were lined up, making it very prosperous.

Although it is getting dark now, most shops are not on board and are still open. There are also sounds of silk and bamboo in several hotels, and there are obviously singing geish performers.

Wu Haogu had been exhausted for a long time and had no intention of going to the restaurant to have dinner, so he stopped at the door of an inn.

"Customer, are you a top player or staying in a hotel?"

The waiter in the store came forward very enthusiastically.

However, Wu Haogu ignored him, and Guo Jing and Liu Wuji are now dealing with this matter.

"Seven rooms are in the room, eleven horses are walking, and two horses are carved, and all are made of fine materials."

Guo Jing handed the waiter two copper coins and asked for seven guest rooms. Wu Haogu and Lu Qian both had one room each, Lin's father and son squeezed one room, Guo Jing and Liu Wuji squeezed one room, Pan Qiaolian and Xiaopinger, four Pan's guards and two coachmen occupied two more.

"Eleven horses, two horses, and three stables, all with fine materials!"

The waiter shouted loudly, and naturally the servant next to him came out of the shop, took the reins and took the horse away, and he accompanied Wu Haogu and others into the hall.

The lobby was very chaotic, and I don’t know how many people were dining.

Guo Jing knew that Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian both liked purity, so he asked: "Can there be a purity in the room?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter smiled and led everyone to the counter to get the house sign, and asked, "Are the customer's businessmen here?"

"My husband is back to his hometown to visit relatives." Guo Jing replied.

The waiter glanced at Pan Qiaolian, dressed in men's clothes, looked at the guards as tall as seven or eight iron towers, carrying bows, arrows, whistle sticks and swords, and thought that Wu Haogu was the yamen. Then he smiled and said, "So, can the guest officer know that there are always thieves in Daze Township to the east?"

“Know some.”

The waiter said: "So can the guest officer want to join the caravan that is passing through? Recently, a group of crossing river dragons came to Daze Township, which was very uneasy..."

While talking, everyone had already arrived at the counter. A fat man with a shopkeeper looked like a shopkeeper and took seven door signs for Guo Jing.

Guo Jing asked Liu Wuji to accompany Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian to rest first, and asked the guy to prepare hot soup (bathing water) and snacks, which were all delivered to the room. He asked Lin Chong and Lu Qian to carry their luggage and settle down first. He and Lin Wancheng stayed at the counter and asked clearly about "get together" and hiring guards.

Before entering the city, Lin Wancheng told Guo Jing that the inns in Yucheng County were controlled by the powerful families of Yucheng, Pei County and Shanfu (Shanzhou Prefecture) counties. They all formed a guard team and had an indescribable relationship with the bandits in Daze Township, which could ensure the safety of the passing caravans.

Therefore, as long as you give "buy money" and join the caravans organized by inns in Yucheng County, you can generally pass through Daze Township safely.

However, during this period, something seemed to have happened in Daze Township.

Just when Wu Haogu finished taking a hot shower and wanted to go find Pan Qiaolian to have dinner together, the sound of a knock on the door sounded.

Guo Jing's voice came from outside the door: "Dalang, Dalang... something happened!"

Wu Haogu hurriedly opened the door and saw Guo Jing, Lin Wancheng and a strong man in his twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a bearded man standing outside the door.

"What's going on?" Wu Haogu asked.

Guo Jing said: "A group of Jianglong came from Daze Township, saying that he was a hero from Liangshan!"
Chapter completed!
