Seeing the monkey complaining, Chu Huan smiled and said, "Since you know that the northwest is a place where dogs don't poop, why do you have to go northwest?"

"Brother, you can scold me, but you can't underestimate people." The monkey said immediately: "Do you look like you, aren't you also going northwest to escape? How did you come here?"

Chu Huan chuckled and said, "I heard that the northwest has implemented the equal-field order, so I want to go to the northwest to see if I can also get a piece of land. In the past, I just farmed for others, but if I could have a piece of land of my own, it would be better than anything else."

When the monkey heard this, he nodded and said, "You are saying this. But I heard that the northwest implemented the equal field order, and only the people in the northwest can be assigned to the fields. If you pass through the pass, it may not be a turn. But then again, even if you starve to death in the northwest, it will be better than being killed by someone."

"Where did you come from?" Chu Huan said: "I heard your voice, I look like someone near Gyeonggi."

The monkey said, "Who said it was not? Brother, I don't hide it from you, I used to be in Jingcheng. I don't know if you know Kuaishou Hall in Beijing..."

"Kuaishou Hall?" Chu Huan was stunned, then smiled and said softly: "Although I haven't heard of it, as the name suggests, there are many masters among them!"

The monkey was very thick-skinned, and Chu Huan said sarcastically. Instead of being ashamed, he was proud, and said, "There were more than 20 people in the Kuaishou Hall, all of whom were the top experts in this industry... Alas, that was already the past. Now, Kuaishou Hall is afraid that the smoke will disappear and there will be no few left. When the mobs rushed to the city, I happened to be not in the capital. When I rushed over, I saw the fire in the capital soaring into the sky. After asking around, I realized that tens of thousands of refugees rushed into the city, burning, killing, looting, and many bandits flocked to it...!" Speaking of this, his eyes showed a look of fear and said with a bitter smile: "You didn't see that. Although I didn't enter the city, outside the city, I saw the corpses as mountains. Many people in the city finally escaped and were caught outside the city, and they were all killed. If I hadn't pretended to be dead, I was afraid that the head would have fallen to the ground long ago."

Chu Huan's face darkened and he whispered: "The capital is already in such chaos?"

"Look at you, you know you didn't run out of the capital." The monkey said, "No need to enter the city. You can see the fire in the city more than ten miles away. When I left, it had been burned for several days and it had not yet been extinguished. How prosperous the capital was in the past, now it seems that it is really going to be burned by a fire... I don't know how many people died in the city, and you can smell the burnt smell inside when you are far away...!"

"So what's going on now, do you know?"

The monkey shook his head and said, "I escaped all the way, but I heard that the Qin soldiers guarding Qin Shui fled a lot. Later, they fought with the Tianmen Taoist disciples for several days. Tianmen Taoist defeated the Qin army. Yesterday, I heard that the Tianmen Taoist disciples had entered the capital, and now the capital should have been under the control of Tianmen Taoist." I couldn't help but say, "Brother, why did you say that the emperor ran to Hexi even though he knew that Tianmen Taoist rebelled? Now, the emperor can't go back."

"Since that's the case, why not seek refuge in Hexi?" Chu Huan asked: "The emperor is in Hexi, and there are soldiers and horses there. Even if Tianmen Road is attacked, there will be soldiers and horses to stop him."

The monkey looked around and couldn't help but spat on the ground, lowered his voice, "Go to Hexi? That's not asking for death. That emperor only knows how to practice Taoism. Over the years, the people have paid so much taxes. How many families sell their children? When we arrive in Hexi, wouldn't we still be exploited by him? How many soldiers can there be in Hexi? When we arrive in Hexi, we will be dragged to serve in the army. The ghosts will run there. Although the northwest is poor, the governor of Chu will not take us all to fight. I heard that the governor of Chu is good to the people. Not only will he share land for everyone, but he also has light taxes and taxes. Now it seems that the whole world is probably only able to survive."

Chu Huan didn't expect that his reputation had already been introduced to the pass. Just as he was about to say something, he saw five or six men who looked like refugees coming here in the crowd. Although the people were worn out, they were tall and tall. They were obviously not ordinary people. The walking movements were obviously marked by soldiers.

These people seemed to be bored and lazy in the crowd, but Chu Huan was keen to find that their eyes were swimming around, as if they were looking for someone.

Chu Huan's brows tightly and he was already carrying his back. The monkey was about to say something, but Chu Huan ignored it and walked away. Seeing this, the monkey touched his head. However, Chu Huan no longer asked for trouble for him. He quickly hid in the crowd. Chu Huan also passed by the crowd quietly. Occasionally, he turned around and found that there were more than a few people in the crowd. There were soldiers disguised in various places, all searching for something.

Chu Huan speeded up and returned to a remote place where Mei Niang and others were. Seeing Chu Huan come back, Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "What's the situation? When can we get out of seclusion?"

"Xigu Pass has been blocked." Chu Huan looked solemn, "Looking at this, just like Mei Niang, you guessed before, it should be that the prince sent someone to send an order. Da Xi Zhang blocked the pass to prevent us from leaving the pass!"

Mei Niang stood up beautifully and said angrily: "That dog is really amazing to do things."

Qi Hongyao looked at the towering and heavy pass and frowned and said, "Sir, Xigu Pass is the only way to get out of the pass. Once you block it here, you have no other way to get out of the pass."

"It would be fine if it was just to prevent us from leaving the seclusion." Mei Niang frowned and said, "But I'm worried that the prince's dog has other plans."

Chu Huan said: "You mean he wants to cut off the ties between the northwest and the inner gate?"

"The salt road in the northwest and the inner gate is Xigu Pass," Mei Niang said: "We have salt in the northwest. If we transport it to the inner gate, we can exchange it for money and grain, but once this road is blocked, from now on, I am afraid that a piece of grain will not be transported to the northwest... Brother Huan, there are still several months before the autumn harvest. The current grain reserve in the northwest is probably not enough to support the use of the military and civilians in the northwest. Even if we really survive the autumn harvest, how long can the harvested grain last? If Xigu Pass is blocked, we will only starve to death in the northwest."

Qi Hong frowned and said, "If the prince wants to cut off the salt road in the northwest, even if it blocks it for three or five months, although it will put pressure on the northwest, it may not be able to drag down the northwest. If he wants to cut off the salt road against the northwest, he will have to block it for a year and a half... Does he really want to trap the northwest to death for a long time? But what should he do if he does this in the pass? The southeast is occupied by the Tianmen Road, and the Qingtian King and the Liaodong Army are fighting in Fuhai. The salt road will not be smooth for a while. When a salt wasteland occurs in the pass, the prince will not care?"

"How could he care about the lives of the people?" Mei Niang sneered: "He just wanted to make famine in the northwest and trap Brother Huan to death..."

Chu Huan looked at the pass that was transported out and thoughtful.

Mei Niang glanced at the queen. The queen was standing by the side at this time, looking at the pass from afar, thinking, and couldn't help but say, "If I had known that Xigu Pass was so important, I should have fought it early in the morning. This is the throat of the northwest. It is held in my own hands and moved forward and retreat freely. Now, this pass is so steep, and the soldiers and horses that ended are prepared. Even if I want to fight now, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky."

Qi Hong hurriedly said, "Madam, that's not what it said. The governor of Chu is the governor of the northwest. The court did not attack Chu before. If the governor of Chu rashly attacked Xigu Pass, it would be a rebellion. If that were true, the troops from Xishan and Anyi would definitely go to the northwest immediately, and the consequences would be unimaginable, and the salt road would be broken long ago...!"

"You understand." Mei Niang glared at Qi Hong with anger, looked at the queen, and said, "Empress, since you want to see your son in the northwest, you should also think of a way to get out of the customs. After you get out of the customs, you can see your son soon, otherwise this pass will become an insurmountable barrier for you, mother and son to meet."

The queen turned her head and asked, "What do you think I should think?"

"You are the queen, and you naturally know that Da Xizhang, who guards the pass." Mei Niang said: "In theory, he should be your minister. If you ask him to turn on and off, will he dare not listen to you?"

The queen just smiled faintly, didn't speak, and still turned her head to look at Xigu Pass.

Seeing this, Mei Niang was immediately annoyed and said to Chu Huan: "Brother Huan, the queen is in our hands. Let's take the queen over now. I don't believe that with the queen in our hands, Da Xizhang dares to attack us openly."

Chu Huan said, "Da Xizhang dares not, don't the prince dare? Even if the prince cares about the Queen's life, we may not be able to pass the test easily." He glanced at the queen and said softly: "Compared to the prince, Xuanyuan Shao wants to kill me faster. The Xuanyuan family is the first martial arts family in Qin State. Can you guarantee that Da Xizhang and Xuanyuan Shao have no connection?"

"Da Xizhang was recommended by Xuanyuan Pingzhang at that time." The queen did not look back, and said lightly: "In order to be the position of the general guarding the pass, Huang Ju and Xuanyuan Pingzhang recommended at the same time. The emperor finally decided to set up Da Xizhang for the recommendation of Xuanyuan Pingzhang...!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Huan smiled bitterly, "It seems that we have no last hope." Xiang Meiniang said, "What if Da Xizhang saw us and ignored the safety of the queen and attacked us? Even if Da Xizhang was not recommended by the Xuanyuan family, this possibility would be a little bit, and now it is even more likely. With such a possibility, we cannot take risks easily, let alone now there is a hidden opportunity for murder."

Mei Niang sighed and said, "What should I do? If I knew where Da Xizhang was, I could sneak in and capture the thief and the king. Now I don't even know where Da Xizhang is..."

"Since Da Xizhang clearly wants to capture us, how can he not be guarded?" Chu Huan said: "If he was on the wall now, could you still fly up? Capturing the thief and capturing the king is just a delusion."

Mei Niang stomped her feet and said angrily: "This will not work, that will not work, what do you think you will do?"
