The day after the guard eunuch Luo Xiang left Yuncheng County, Xu Jin also escorted the prisoners to Ziyang County, where the capital of Yanzhou is located. There were 500 Jinyi guards and 3,000 Linqing guards escorting them.

As for the more than 5,000 troops of Guide Guard, they had already stationed in Yanzhou Fucheng a few days in advance and took over the Yanzhou Guard there. The Yanzhou Guard commander Zhao Fengchun’s confidants in the army were either arrested or demoted. It can be said that the current

Yanzhou Guard has completely fallen into Xu Jin's control.

It is said that Dongchang Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture combined have only two guards, namely Linqing Guard and Yanzhou Guard. When full, there are only 11,200 people. Plus the Guide Guard transferred from Henan, that is to say, Xu Jin currently

There are a total of three guards that can be controlled, which is about 16,000 to 7,000 people. In fact, there is a discount because most of these local guards are not full of troops.

Yuncheng is about two hundred miles away from Yanzhou Fucheng. Due to the large number of prisoners being escorted, it is estimated that it will take three days to reach Yanzhou Fucheng.

The journey was uneventful, and at noon on August 20th, the team finally arrived seven or eight miles west of Yanzhou Fucheng. After walking for half an hour, they should be able to enter the city from the west gate of Yanzhou Fucheng.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly and the weather was relatively sultry. Xu Jin ordered the team to stop and rest where they were, and bury the pot for cooking. After the meal, they rushed to Yanzhou City in one go.

At the same time, four fast horses were galloping on the official road to the north of Yanzhou Fucheng. The riders on the horses all wore bamboo hats. When the horses galloped, their bodies leaned slightly forward and undulated as the horses ran. It was obvious that their riding skills were quite superb.

.

The four horses began to slow down when they ran to the city gate. They got on the straight road into the city and then turned over and dismounted. They led the horses honestly and walked into the city. They also took off the hats they were wearing. The leader's eyebrows were like sharp knives.

The nose is short but hooked. It is Zhao Quan, the great disciple of the White Lotus Sect, and the other three are the dwarf Qiu Fu, Sun Cai, and Jing Zhen.

After Zhao Quan and the others led their horses into the city, they first found an inn to settle down, and then went to a restaurant on the street for lunch. The four of them rode fast horses for a long time and were already very hungry.

The four of them found a table facing the street in the restaurant and sat down, ordered a few dishes and two bottles of wine, and chatted quietly while eating.

The thin man Qiu Fu chewed the steamed buns and said in a deep voice: "Jing Zhen, you must have read it right. Junior sister Xue is actually with the sour man named Xu."

Qiu Gui, the younger brother of the thin man Qiu Fu, "died" in the hands of Xu Jin, so Qiu Fu hated Xu Jin very much. He followed Xu Jin and Xiao Huai all the way, and originally wanted to snipe Xu Jin with a hidden arrow, but it was just a coincidence.

By mistake, I followed Xiao Huai to Puzhou. He was lucky, and he did not follow Xiao Huai to inspect the embankment that night, but he escaped the flood.

Jing Zhen nodded and said affirmatively: "I'm absolutely right. I saw Senior Sister Xue riding a horse and following Xu Jin with my own eyes."

After Jing Zhen finished speaking, he glanced at Zhao Quan secretly. All the disciples in the sect knew that Xue Bingxin was the forbidden love of his senior brother.

It is said that after Jing Zhen saw Xue Bingxin entering the Yuncheng County Yamen that day, he became suspicious, so he followed him secretly. As a result, the next morning he saw Xue Bingxin riding a horse among the Jin Yiwei team, accompanying Xu Jin to the direction of Yanzhou Prefecture.

.

So Jing Zhen immediately rode back to the Fan County Escort Agency to report the matter to Zhao Quan. After hearing this, Zhao Quan immediately decided to rush to Yanzhou Mansion to find out what was going on. Because they were riding fast horses, Zhao Quan and others advanced ahead of Xu Jin.

City.

Sun Cai frowned and said, "Junior sister Xue was not coerced by Xu Jin, right?"

Jing Zhen hesitated and said: "This...maybe, but it doesn't feel like it. Senior Sister Xue and Xu Jin seem... quite familiar!"

Qiu Fu couldn't help but cursed: "Damn it, Xu Suanzi's pretty face looks like a human, and these scholars are used to coaxing women. Could it be that Junior Sister Xue was coaxed by him?"

Zhao's face turned livid, and the wine glass in his hand silently shattered into powder. Jing Zhen and others looked at each other in shock.

Sun Cai glared at Qiu Fu and said, "Skinny monkey, what the hell are you talking about? Junior sister Xue is not that superficial."

Qiu Fu glanced at Zhao Quan and said with a stern expression: "Yes, yes, I'm bullshit!"

At this moment, there was a sudden noise on the street, and Zhao Quan and others all looked out the window to the street.

"The imperial envoy Mr. Xu has entered the city!"

"Xu Qingtian has entered the city!"

The people on the street rushed to tell each other, and the shops and restaurants on both sides of the street were soon filled with people, and everyone was eagerly waiting towards the end of the street.

It is said that Xu Jin presided over the disaster relief during this period, coupled with the vigorous and vigorous inspection of the granary, caught a large number of corrupt officials, and also beheaded a group of officials in charge of the granary on the spot, so he had a good reputation among the people and was deeply loved by ordinary people.

Of course, quite a few local officials hated and feared Xu Jin, secretly calling him "Xu Beheaded".

Soon, rows of government officials holding water and fire sticks ran over and stood on both sides of the street to maintain order. People were strictly prohibited from running into the street, lest they block the imperial envoy's guard of honor.

About the time it was time to drink tea, a group of royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives hung on their waists rode their horses along the street. A black and yellow dragon flag fluttered in the wind. In front of the group, there were yamen servants who played gongs to clear the way, and a majestic atmosphere hit their faces.

Come.

Zhao Quan stood up and walked to the window. He glanced at the long line of imperial guards like an eagle. Suddenly his expression darkened and he clenched his fists involuntarily.

Surrounded by a group of royal guards, a young man wearing a blue official robe was seen calmly and naturally riding on a horse. He had red lips and white teeth. He was a handsome man. He was Xu Jin, the newly appointed beauty scout who was on the imperial mission.

Xue Bingxin was wearing a snow-white Hu suit, with bright eyes, red lips, pretty eyes and cheeks, and a slim figure. Although she was a woman disguised as a man, Zhao Quan recognized her at a glance.

Seeing Xue Bingxin riding a horse and riding side by side with Xu Jin, the two of them seemed to be chatting in a low voice. Zhao Quan couldn't help but have a flash of jealousy in his eyes, and suddenly he raised his head and looked across the street as if he was aware of it.

Across the street was a teahouse. At this moment, half of his body suddenly leaned out of the window on the second floor. The man's hands were holding something in a strange posture, and the thing was still emitting fireworks.

"Fire gun... someone wants to assassinate Xu Jin!"

A thought flashed through Zhao Quan's mind, and then a surge of excitement quickly surged into his head. He couldn't wait to turn his eyes back to the street, and quickly locked onto Xu Jin who was riding on horseback. The thought of this "little pretty face" was about to cause a stir.

The blood rolled down from the horse, and Zhao Quan was inexplicably excited, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Be careful, there is an assassin!" Xue Bingxin had been following Xu Jin on horseback. Suddenly she saw the fire gun sticking out of the teahouse. She immediately gave a warning and reached out to grab the reins of Xu Jin's horse.
