Chapter 1737 The carriage under the night
Jiazhou City is well-connected and is the key to the traffic of Xiguan Road. There is a Ningshan barrier to the north, and the Liangzi River is bounded to the south. A river lies between Xiguan Road and Beishan Road.
When the Xiliang people invaded the south, they occupied a large area of land in Xiguan. Only one Jiazhou Prefecture City was controlled by the Qin army. Jiazhou City once became a place for refugees to gather. Now the Xiliang people have already retreated, but Jiazhou City is still a large population. On Xiguan Road, its prosperity is second only to Shuoquan, the city of Xiguan Prefecture City.
For most people, the news that Xigu Pass was blocked has not yet reached the point where everyone knows it, and even if they know it, most people do not think it is a disaster.
There are also traffic in the city of Koshu.
When Chu Huan entered the city, it was when the lights were first launched. The two most prosperous streets in the city of Kazakh were still very lively.
After entering the city, Chu Huan did not ask Qi Hong to drive the carriage to Xuanyuan Shengcai's residence, but instead found an inn and settled the queen and Mei Niang for the time being.
Chu Huan told Qi Hong to buy a few sets of clean clothes first. There must be warm hot water in the inn. When the clothes were bought, the few people would take a hot bath and change into clean clothes. Then they ordered a table of wine and food, and placed it in Chu Huan's room. Since leaving Hexi, the few people have never had a meal of Ansheng, especially in Beiling for several days. They lived with animal meat and fruits. At this moment, facing a table of wine and food, they all had a lot of appetite. Even the queen was no longer reserved. Although she was not as voracious as Chu Huan and Qi Hong, she also ate a lot.
"Brother Huan, has your elder brother passed the test?" Mei Niang didn't care about her image at this time, and she was holding a chicken leg in her hand. Her sexy red lips were stained with oil. "Will they just climb over Beiling, right?"
Chu Huan showed concern. Although Luo Duo was very skilled in martial arts, after all, he was praying for Luo Duo to be safe and sound, saying, "Brother knows Shuo Quan. If he really passes the test, he should go to Shuo Quan to wait for us."
"Then when will you go to see Xuanyuan Shengcai?"
"After eating, rest for a while, you can leave."
Mei Niang frowned and said, "Brother Huan, if you really want to see Xuanyuan Shengcai, you should go back to Shuoquan first and send someone to pass on him. If he really has no intention, he will definitely be ordered to go to Shuoquan." She leaned closer and said, "Xigu Pass is blocked, and there is no rush to these days. It's better to be safe."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "I know your concern. I am the Governor of Xiguan. He is just my subordinate. If I am afraid of him and afraid that he will not be good for me, how can I control the northwest?"
Mei Niang sighed, "If you really want to go, I will accompany you!"
"You guys stay here and have a good rest." Chu Huan said, "I don't think Xuanyuan will really attack me, and even if he really has his own heart, it will not be easy to keep me." Seeing that Mei Niang was going to say something else, Chu Huan raised his hand and said, "No need to say more, this is still Xiguan. No matter what his thoughts are, Xuanyuan Sheng dares to act rashly."
The queen finally said, "Miss Mei Niang is right. If Xuanyuan Sheng really has a different ambition, as long as he can hold you, no one dares to act rashly. If you hold you hostage and withdraw from the pass, no one can stop you."
Mei Niang looked at the queen and felt strange, thinking to herself, why the queen suddenly thought about Chu Huan?
Qi Hong suddenly spoke, "Sir, I have a way, do you think it's done. You guys stay here, I'll go find Xuanyuan Shengcai, and said you have returned to Shuoquan and sent him to meet him. If he really set off immediately, it will prove that he should not have a second thought for the adults. In this way, the adults can meet him outside the city and discuss major events."
Mei Niang clapped her hands and said, "It's so good, Brother Huan, Qi Hong's method is good."
Chu Huan laughed and said, "It's really good, but you forgot that since Qi Hong came to the northwest, he has always been by my side. Everyone knows that Qi Hong is my personal bodyguard. If I really want to summon Xuanyuan Shengcai, I can send anyone, so why do I have to send Qi Hong? Xuanyuan Sheng is a smart person. It's easy to guess that I'm probably near the state of Kazakhstan. If I really want others to advance and retreat with you, I will treat you with sincerity. If I send Qi Hong now, Xuanyuan Shengcai will definitely think that I have suspicion for him. In this way, I will feel a estranged."
Mei Niang said annoyedly: "If you want to go, I won't advise you anymore. People's hearts are unpredictable, I'm afraid that your mentor will regret it too late."
Chu Huan stood up and said, "You guys have a good rest. I won't take much time to come back." Without saying much, he left alone.
It was midnight at this time, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the street. Chu Huan knew Xuanyuan Shengcai’s residence, so he was in a house near the prefect of the prefecture of the Jiazhou Prefecture.
After taking a shower and having a full meal, Chu Huan was refreshed at this time.
As soon as Xuanyuan Shengcai was approaching the excuse of his residence, he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage behind him. Chu Huan turned around and saw an inconspicuous carriage following from behind. The groom who was driving the carriage was tall and burly. When he approached Chu Huan, the carriage was slower, but the groom shouted at Chu Huan: "Brother, stay!"
Chu Huan saw that the man was very strange and a little strange, but he smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
"Is General Xuanyuan's mansion nearby?" The coachman asked with a smile: "Is General Xuanyuan Shengcai who guards Jiazhou? Do you know him?"
Chu Huan's face remained unchanged, pointed at the distance, crossed a street, and turned right, the prefect of the prefect was on that street, um, it seemed to be called Changqing Street, not far from the right of the prefecture, there was a mansion, which was General Xuanyuan's residence."
The coachman bowed and smiled, "Thank you." He didn't say much, and left with a whip. Chu Huan looked at the back of the carriage that was moving away quickly, raised his hand and touched his chin, and muttered to himself: "When I arrived in the northwest, I didn't learn Northwest dialect. I just said Beijing accents, just pretending that people didn't know they lived in the capital!" He looked around and saw that there were few people, speeding up his pace, and following.
Changqing Street is not the widest street in Kezhou, but it is the most important street. Many yamen are located on this street.
Chu Huan entered Changqing Street, but the street was very deserted. Before he walked far, he saw the sound of a carriage coming from the front. He vaguely saw a carriage coming towards him. Chu Huan flashed into an alley beside him, staring at Changjie. A carriage passed quickly, but it was the previous carriage that had gone back.
Chu Huan frowned, but without hesitation. She was like a ghost, and she quickly followed the carriage to the street house. When the carriage arrived at the intersection, she stopped. Chu Huan covered her house and stared at it from afar. Soon, she saw the carriage breaking to another street.
The speed of the carriage was slower than before. After walking on the street for a while, he randomly turned into another street. Chu Huan could see clearly that the street was parallel to Changqing Street, which was the main street, and the street where the carriage entered at this time was the back street.
Chu Huan's eyes rolled slightly, and he immediately understood something. A faint smile flashed across his lips and followed him.
Late at night, the streets were silent and there was no trace of people. The carriages were walking for a while, and the speed gradually slowed down. When they reached the back door of a mansion, they finally stopped.
The strong coachman jumped out of the carriage and looked around. He didn't notice Chu Huan following behind him, hiding in the shadows. He thought there was no one around, so he stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, he heard a voice coming from inside: "Who is it?"
The coachman said, "Is this the mansion of General Xuanyuan?"
"Who are you?"
The coachman's voice seemed very respectful: "Lucky, we are here to pay homage to General Xuanyuan, please open the door!"
"Why don't you enter through the front door?" The voice inside muttered, "What are you doing here during the third update in the middle of the night?"
The coachman had a good temper and explained: "We are not very familiar with this place. We have taken the wrong path. It takes time to turn to the front door and we have to spend time. We have urgent matters to meet General Xuanyuan, so I'll have to take you!"
With a creaking sound, the back door opened, but a soldier wearing armor and a big knife opened the door, looked at the coachman's eyes, then looked at the carriage parked in the back street, frowned and said, "Who are you?"
The coachman did not hesitate and took out something from his arms. It was an extremely exquisite knife. Although it was the shape of a knife, it was extremely delicate and small, like a knife-shaped ornament. The soldier had already pressed the handle of the knife. Not far behind the soldier, two soldiers looked at him coldly. The coachman held the knife in his palm and handed it to the soldier, "I hope you can present this to General Xuanyuan, General Xuanyuan will decide!"
The soldier looked at the driver for a few more times, finally took the knife and said, "You guys wait." He closed the back door.
The coachman stood quietly outside the door waiting, but the carriage was also silent. After a while, the back door opened with a creaking sound, but the soldier bowed and said, "General, please invite me!"
The coachman then walked to the side of the carriage, raised his hand and opened the curtain. From the carriage, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out. He was wearing a very ordinary wide robe, with a bad appearance and a crown and hat. He looked around and then jumped off the carriage, and walked very fast and quickly entered the yard. However, the coachman did not follow him, jumped onto the carriage and drove the carriage away.
Chu Huan, who was secretly surveillance, saw the middle-aged man entering the yard. The coachman drove away in the carriage. He pondered slightly, walked forward slowly, looked up at the high wall, took a deep breath, and then jumped up, like a spirit ape, holding the raised area on the wall with one hand, and with a little force, he floated onto the wall.
