After all, Lu Haosheng set off for Beishan under the escort of Qiu Ruxu and his group. He didn't have much luggage, most of which were books and full of cars.

When he fled from the capital and walked on foot, he was extremely miserable, but this time he was in a car. Qiu Ruxue took ten guards, all of whom were warriors who were ten, but they were all thick-clothed and shirtless. Except for exquisite weapons such as daggers, they could be carried with him, the other weapons were placed in a bag under the saddle and were not blatantly revealed.

According to Chu Huan's intention, it is not advisable to make a big fuss on the road. After all, although Beishan was defeated, Xiao Huanzhang and Luo Dingxi and others were dead, but because of this, the situation there was very chaotic. At this time, there were no thieves in Beishan. The more low-key he was, the better. The carriage prepared by Chu Huan for Lu Haosheng was also very simple.

The King of Qi was obviously very concerned about Lu Haosheng's appointment this time and personally sent him out of the royal palace for several miles. However, because Chu Huan was busy with affairs, he went to the military camp outside the city before dawn, so there were very few people who bid farewell to Lu Haosheng, which seemed very deserted.

However, before Chu Huan left, Qiu Ruxue brought fifty taels of silver and handed them over to Lu Haosheng as a burden. Fifty taels of silver are naturally not expensive for ordinary people, but for a governor who went to Beishan to take office, it was really a drop in the bucket. Qiu Ruxue also explained on behalf of Chu Huan. Chu Huan paid the fifty taels of silver himself.

Although Xiguan is not the same as before, and is not as stretched as when Chu Huan first came, one tael of silver was used for ten taels, but the money of the Xinsan Administration and the Ministry of Revenue Department must follow the rules regardless of income and expenditure. Lu Haosheng was the governor of Beishan, so the Xiguan Finance Department naturally had no obligation to allocate silver to him. The silver of the Xinsan Administration is mainly the income of Xinsan Administration, and his main expenditure was to be used for military construction. The imperial court could not afford military pay. The Xiguan region had to maintain its military service. If it was a soldier, it would have to have a source, so it could only be provided from the Xinsan Administration.

As for the Ministry of Revenue Department, if the people did not even plant food, it would naturally be impossible to obtain taxes from the people. The biggest income is that in addition to the previous search of the stolen money obtained by the Zhu Party and the compensation and spoils obtained due to the war, the main source is the merchant tax. Compared with the New Salt Administration, which is now in the limelight, the Ministry of Revenue Department is far less pressured. It is not as low as the New Salt Administration has to supply huge military expenditures. The bank of the Ministry of Revenue Department is mainly used to pay the salaries of officials from Xiguan Road and some simple constructions at present.

According to Qiu Ruxue, Chu Huan took out fifty taels of silver, but because of the joint service for the court, he saved money from the Governor's Office, and Chu Huan finally got together the fifty taels of silver.

Lu Haosheng was just thinking about getting the silver in Beishan. He was the governor of Beishan who he hoped to be appointed. After he went there, he first checked Xiao Huanzhang's property, and at the same time, he also removed a group of Xiao Huanzhang's confidants. The Xiao Huanzhang group in Beishan was rich enough to rival the country, so he naturally could get a large amount of silver from them.

After saying goodbye to King Qi, Lu Haosheng was full of confidence.

The group left Shuoquan. According to Qiu Ruxue, there are now two roads to go to Beishan. One is known. From Shuoquan to the east, pass through Jiazhou, then enter Beishan Qingzhou, and then enter Xinzhou where Yu Changcheng is located. This road is high and long. It takes about ten days to get there. The other road is from Shuoquan to the north, passing through Yingchao Stream, which was discovered not long ago, and you can cross the border between Xiguan and Beishan and directly enter Xinzhou. Walking from this road can save half of the time.

It’s just that the road is difficult to pass through Eagle Nest Stream. Moreover, Eagle Nest Stream is too narrow to open to traffic and has to walk on foot, which is much more steep than the other road.

Lu Haosheng made a quick decision and ordered to walk from Eagle Nest Stream. Qiu Ruxue didn't talk nonsense. Along the way, Lu Haosheng walked no matter what he said. In fact, Eagle Nest Stream was only a hundred miles away from Shuoquan City. When he set out in the morning, Qiu Ruxue and others rode horses. Lu Haosheng rode a carriage and took a day to Eagle Nest Stream. However, when he arrived at Eagle Nest Stream, it was already dark and it was not advisable to walk through this small stream at night. He found the nearest village to rest for a night. He set out early the next morning and arrived at Eagle Nest Stream, abandoned his carriage and left his horse, and rode his horse through Eagle Nest Stream.

For Lu Haosheng, he had never walked into such a steep place. When he passed through the Eagle Nest Stream, he was already sweating profusely and breathing rapidly. He rested for half a day before he recovered.

After that, I rode a horse, and it was more than a day on the way. At noon on the fourth day after leaving Shuoquan, I finally looked at Yuchang City in the distance. Fortunately, apart from the difficulty of crossing the Eagle Nest Stream, it was safe and sound, and no bandits robbed the way.

When he arrived at the city gate, he saw that there were a few soldiers guarding the city gate, but he leaned lazily against the city base to bask in the sun. The people in the city gate came in and out, but he didn't ask, but saw someone coming up to the convoy and talked for a long time, finding various reasons, but he just wanted the convoy to get some passing money. Lu Haosheng frowned as he looked at it. These soldiers had no military discipline and were casual and domineering. He saw it, but he didn't say it out loud. He wanted to visit him in a private manner to see what Yu Changcheng looked like now.

When he entered the city, there was chaos and no order at all. Qiu Ruxue frowned. Lu Haosheng had a gloomy face along the way, asking Qiu Ruxue to inquire about the location of the Governor's Mansion in the city. The person who was asked looked at Qiu Ruxue like a monster, smiled and said, "The Governor's Mansion was almost burned, and there were not many yards left. At first, people went in to find something every night, but no one cared about it. Now there was no ghost... Oh, no, I heard that the Governor's wife was burned to death. Hehe, I might be able to see her ghost inside in the middle of the night. It was said that she looked beautiful and beautiful. If she really saw it, it would be worth it to be killed by the female ghost."

Qiu Ruxue ignored his nonsense, asked where he was and protected Lu Haosheng to the Governor's Mansion. As the passerby said, the long street outside the Governor's Mansion was almost empty. Walking on the street, it was deserted and terrifying. When he walked to the Governor's Mansion, it was indeed a mess. The wall collapsed, and the wooden beams that had been burned into black charcoal were still standing in a row. Although the Governor's Mansion had been burned for a few days, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of dust after the fire.

Lu Haosheng entered the yard, and was in a mess everywhere. A smell of rotten smell penetrated into his nose. He raised his hand to cover his nose, frowned, and looked around. His heart was extremely cold.

Although he knew that there was a fire in the Beishan Governor's Mansion, he did not expect it to be so powerful. Although he could vaguely see the luxury of the Governor's Mansion, it had already passed by, leaving only a few houses standing alone outside the mess.

I thought that even if someone died, there would be some wealth left. The King of Qi issued an order to seal the Governor's Mansion in Beishan. But now it seems that not to mention finding rare treasures in this Governor's Mansion, I am afraid that I can't even find a tael of silver.

"Mr. Lu, where are we going next?" Qiu Ruxue and others were content. They received Chu Huan's instructions to protect Lu Haosheng here for half a month. After half a month, they set off to return to Shuoquan. As for what Lu Haosheng does here, they don't have to say anything. They only have one task, which is to protect Lu Haosheng from being killed within half a month.

Lu Haosheng's face turned blue and said coldly: "Send someone to call the governor of Xinzhou. Xiao Huanzhang is dead. Should this governor of Xinzhou be there? The prince sent someone to give him an order to protect the place, but... go quickly!"

Qiu Ruxue smiled and said, "Mr. Lu, let's come here to protect your integrity, not your servant. You must be clear about this. In my opinion, there is no need to call the governor of Yuezhou. Look at it, it's not a place to speak. Why not go there directly? Lord. Lu asks you again?"

Lu Haosheng glanced at Qiu Ruxue and felt annoyed, but he also understood that these people were lent to Chu Huan to protect him, and they were really not his followers.

He angrily led a group of people to find the prefect of Xinzhou. The gate of the prefecture was open, and several soldiers were guarding the door. Lu Hao gave birth to the horse and was about to go inside. The soldiers had stopped him and scolded, "Are you blind? I didn't see where this place is, and it's also a place where you can rush around. Get out quickly and you'll discount your dog's legs if you don't leave."

"You...!" After Lu Haosheng entered Yuchang City, he felt very uncomfortable. Seeing the broken appearance of the Governor's Mansion, he was even more angry. He saw the little soldier dared to stop him. Although he was a literati, he was already full of anger. He raised his hand and slapped the soldier in the face. He was about to scold him, but the soldier next to him was flexible. Seeing Lu Haosheng take action, he kicked him over. Lu Haosheng didn't expect that the soldier next to him would dare to take action. He was kicked in the waist. With a "Ouch", he had already fallen to the ground.

Several soldiers were about to rush up, Qiu Ruxue roared loudly: "So bold, who dares to do it?" He had already drawn his sword out of the sheath with one arm, and the guards behind him also drew their swords one after another.

Qiu Ruxue was born as a swordsman in the world and was already murderous. His stern shout was full of momentum. The soldiers were stunned and looked at each other, and they didn't dare to move for a moment.

Qiu Ruxue went forward and winked. A guard beside him helped Lu Haosheng up. Lu Haosheng was kicked up with a kick in his waist. He was helped up, and his waist was still painful. His face turned pale and he said angrily: "Where is your magistrate? Let him get out for me."

The soldiers looked at each other, and one of them had already asked, "Hey, I'm telling you who are you? Do you know what the crime is to trespass into the Tuanzhou Prefecture?"

Qiu Ruxue coughed and said, "This is the new governor sent by the King of Qi. You can go and invite the magistrate to come out."

"King of Qi?" The soldiers looked at each other even more, "Which King of Qi? The magistrate said that in the recent past, the Governor of Chu in Xiguan may send people over. As long as the person arrives, we will inform us immediately when we see him, but we have never said that the King of Qi would send people."—
