In the early morning of the next day, Xu Zhiqiu left the small courtyard early, carrying only a package on his back, the Taoist long sword that had not been fully refined was tied behind his back, and the mahogany sword was directly in his hand.

In order to prevent the little girl in her arms from waking up, my aunt did not go out to see her off, but my second uncle waited at the door early.

The two uncles and nephews walked out of the courtyard side by side, Xu Anshan patted his nephew on the shoulder, and said as he walked, "Boluan, there is nothing that Uncle Er can do to help you on this trip to Beijing. Blame me in your heart."

Xu Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Even if you have this thought in your heart, you can't say it in front of Second Uncle, right?"

Xu Anshan laughed a few times: "That's the reason, even if you blame me, don't say it to embarrass the second uncle, haha, but that girl Yueyao will probably cry for you when she wakes up, thinking about it will give you a headache .”

Xu Zhiqiu said: "When she woke up, Second Uncle opened the wooden box on the table in my house, and there was her favorite Touhua Ci in it. As long as this girl sees delicious food, I'm sure she won't cry. "

Xu Anshan also knew his little daughter well, and clapped his hands and said a good idea.When the two passed the corner of the street, he went on to say: "Boluan, Second Uncle knows that you are capable, but you must not be careless along the way. Only by being careful can you sail forever."

"En." Xu Zhiqiu nodded.

"Also..." Xu Anshan hesitated for a while and said: "If, I mean, if there is any fatal danger on this road, you can run as long as you can, and don't worry about the entrustment of the girl and the county magistrate, you two Uncle is like you alive, understand?"

At the end of the conversation, Xu Anshan stopped and stared at Xu Zhiqiu.

Xu Zhiqiu finally complied with his second uncle's gaze.

Seeing his nephew nodding, Xu Anshan immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and continued to accompany Xu Zhiqiu on the road with a smile, until he was sent to a location not far from the county government. I drank too much late at night, so I have to go back early and get some sleep."

At the end of the story, Xu Anshan patted Xu Zhiqiu on the shoulder with his palm, turned around and walked back along the road. Xu Zhiqiu waited until his second uncle was far away before stepping into the gate of the county government office alone.

It was still early at this time, and there were not many people in the county government office. Xu Zhiqiu didn't see Catcher Xing, but he saw the arrester Xiao Liu, so he asked him to notify the county magistrate on his behalf. Xiao Liu didn't refuse or hesitate, He just said to wait a moment and left in a hurry.

On the other hand, when the county magistrate heard about Xu Zhiqiu's visit to the county yamen from Xiaoliukou, he immediately understood Xu Zhiqiu's intentions, so he didn't care about going back to sleep, put on his clothes, and went to arrange things.

Xu Zhiqiu waited for two hours, and when the sun was above his head, the county magistrate appeared in front of him.

Zhao Hanqing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for keeping Mr. Xu waiting for so long. I thought Mr. Xu would think about it for a while, but I never thought it would be settled so soon. idea."

Xu Zhiqiu was not a quick-tempered person, so he didn't care about it. After a few words with Zhao Hanqing, he walked to the street outside the county government office. Compared with when he came early in the morning, there were now three carriages parked here, and a group of people surrounded the carriage. They were carrying things. These people were all dressed in gray martial robes. They were tall and had swords on their waists. They looked like Lianjiazi.

However, they are all just mortal warriors, and there is no real energy fluctuation in their bodies.

Zhao Hanqing said: "These are the guards hired by Hua Yinliang. I think that if you encounter any bandits, you don't need Mr. Xu to take action, they can solve them, and it is much more convenient to watch and patrol at night."

Xu Zhiqiu nodded and said, "The county lord is considerate."

While the two were talking, another carriage drove up. Xu Zhiqiu looked around and saw that the driver of the carriage was an old man missing half of an ear. Well, I have a cane by my side.

Following the opening of the car curtain, the woman in purple gauze whom she had met yesterday came down from the carriage. Beside her was a girl in green clothes. She looked ordinary and carried a package on her back. She seemed to be a maid.

Zisha girl came over, Zhao Hanqing immediately said: "Master Xu, this is the daughter of my old friend, named Gu Qingyue, I need to trouble you to take care of me along the way."

The woman named Gu Qingyue gave a salute to Xu Zhiqiu and said, "I've met Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiqiu returned the gift, Zhao Hanqing said again: "Qingyue, I have told you about Mr. Xu, although he is young, but he has a good ability, you should listen to Mr. Xu's opinion more during this journey, so as not to encounter danger. "

Gu Qingyue nodded and said: "Qingyue understands."

Zhao Hanqing saw that the explanation was almost done, so he pulled Xu Zhiqiu aside, took out a stack of things from his cuff, and put it in Xu Zhiqiu's hands: "Mr. Xu will have to work hard on this journey. You can just use these two taels of money, Mr. Xu. Things are expensive in the capital, but the money is enough to spend."

Xu Zhiqiu glanced down and found that the magistrate had actually given ten silver notes, each of which was worth a hundred taels, which was a full 1000 taels.It is estimated that most people in Lin'an County have never seen so much money in their entire lives. This is also the first time for Xu Zhiqiu. He did not expect that Zhao Hanqing would be so generous.

1000 taels of silver bills are not enough to buy a house in Qianjing, but renting the main inn plus expenses is more than enough.

Xu Zhiqiu was also polite, accepted all the bank notes, and thanked the county lord.

Zhao Hanqing said: "Master Xu, you don't need to thank you, you deserve this. When Mr. Xu comes back in the future, I will definitely hold a banquet for you."

The two people were talking here, and the paid guards on the other side had already moved all the goods into the carriage, everything was ready and ready to go at any time.

Zhao Hanqing knew that Gu Qingyue was in a hurry to go to Ganjing, so he didn't talk any more, waved his hand and signaled the convoy to go.

"Young Master Xu, I leave everything to you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I understand." Xu Zhiqiu cupped his hands towards Zhao Hanqing, and then followed the carriage towards the direction outside the city gate.

There are a total of four carriages in the convoy, the front one is filled with guards, the middle one is the carriage that Gu Qingyue is riding in, and the two rear ones are fully loaded with goods.

Xu Zhiqiu originally wanted to sit in the first carriage, but Gu Qingyue personally invited him to take the second carriage. Xu Zhiqiu thought about it but did not refuse. After all, there were only Gu Qingyue and the old man in the second carriage. Small maids are more comfortable to sit with fewer people.
