half a month later.

Shang Shaoyan looked at Shuocheng right in front of her eyes, the wind and sand was sweeping all over the sky, she lifted the white gauze of the veiled hat, and then quickly put it down again.

She gave the balance to the members of the Escort, and gave some extra hard work expenses, and then rode to the gate of the city with Qiao Xiuyu.

Qiao Xiuyu didn't feel tired after following Shang Shaoyan. After all, he hadn't experienced hardships, and the rush for the past half month was still within his tolerance.

Shang Shaoyan came to the gate of the city, and showed the token of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, as well as Qiao Xiuyu and his own guides. The soldiers guarding the city gate looked at it carefully, and then lifted their spirits: "Master Heyang County, Mo The lieutenant is already waiting for you."

Shang Shaoyan didn't say much, she nodded, and then walked into Shuo City with Qiao Xiuyu.

Compared with Shengjing, Hangzhou, and Shuzhou, Shuocheng has a completely different scenery.

Along the way, the common people the two saw were all in good health, rough in behavior, and mostly healthy wheat-colored skin, which was a little rough due to the erosion of wind and sand. Convenient Hufu trousers and riding boots.

There are also many vendors on the street, and what they sell are not small things like flowers and makeup that are common in Beijing, but sharp weapons such as short knives and daggers.

The wine here is not like peach blossom drunk or pear blossom wine, but it is mostly spirits. From a distance, you can smell a strong aroma of wine that cannot be ignored. It is slightly pungent, but it becomes mellow after smelling for a long time.

Shang Shaoyan traveled all over the world in his previous life, so he didn't think it was so new, he just took a few more glances and it was over; but Qiao Xiuyu felt it was novel, he had never been to the Northwest.

Shang Shaoyan also let him watch more, and the two walked slowly on the street, all the way to the residence of Deputy General Mo Xing.

Mo Xing is a man in his thirties. He is similar to Tai Jian. He is a rough guy. He used to work under Cheng Lingxiu and was very loyal. Shang Shaoyan and Qiao Xiuyu were respectfully invited by him. Go in, and then the three of them sat in the meeting hall, exchanged a few pleasantries and then got to the point.

"Vice General Mo knows that even if he wants to come, I am here to work in the Northwest by His Majesty's order." Shang Shaoyan smiled softly, and she seemed to be a real noble girl from Shengjing, who had never seen the world. I have been marching in the northwest for many years, and I am very moved. I want to see the barracks. I don’t know when Vice General Mo will be free. Can you take me to the barracks?"

Mo Xing was a little hesitant, but he still smiled and said, "Of course I would like to take the county magistrate to have a look, but most of the barracks are men, so it may not be convenient for the county magistrate to go."

Shang Shaoyan raised his eyebrows: "I don't care about these false names."

Mo Xing still hesitated: "I'm also afraid that those people will offend the county magistrate because they don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Shang Shaoyan pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, seeing this, Mo Xing thought that Shang Shaoyan had given up on this idea, and felt a little regretful, but he also knew that this was the best arrangement.

Who would have imagined that when he was about to arrange a house for Shang Shaoyan, Shang Shaoyan looked at him with a smile on his face and said, "It's been a long time since I have competed with others. I wonder if Vice General Mo would like to compete with me?"

Mo Xing: "...?"

He looked at Shang Shaoyan in some confusion, and then looked at her weak and slender figure a little presumptuously. No matter how she looked, she didn't look like someone who could fight, so he couldn't help reminding him a little tactfully: "Master, if you are a nine-foot man, I'm afraid it's invincible to compete with you."

Shang Shaoyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, then looked around, and walked towards a chair under Mo Xing's strange gaze.

Qiao Xiuyu followed Shang Shaoyan all the way, and she often saw her convincing others with reasoning, and immediately prepared a silk handkerchief for Shang Shaoyan in a very polite manner, followed obediently, and stood behind her.

Mo Xing was even more confused.

Shang Shaoyan gave him a gentle smile, then used those catkins to break off a piece of wood, weighed it in his hand, and easily folded the thick wood into four sections.

Mo Xing: "..."

He looked at Shang Shaoyan in shock, and Qiao Xiuyu skillfully wiped Shang Shaoyan's hands with a silk handkerchief, and said softly, "Next time, don't pick wood, it has many thorns, and it's easy to prick your hands."

Mo Xing: "..."

He pinched his own people, and then recovered from the confusion and shock, with ecstasy flashing between his brows and eyes: "The county lord is actually born with supernatural power!"

Shang Shaoyan tossed the broken boards aside indifferently, and then looked at Moxing calmly: "Not only that, I also use whips, swords, knives, guns, daggers, bows and arrows and other weapons The merchant's swordsmanship is also good, and my father praised it many times before his death. How, Vice General Mo, do you want to compete with me?"

Ever since the old Duke and his wife died in battle, Mo Xing had never met anyone who could match him.

He was originally placed in the merchant army by the late emperor. He had great strength and martial arts, and he was very arrogant, but after being defeated by Shang Xiao and Cheng Lingxiu respectively, he was convinced. It's as good as his own brother. From now on, Mo Xing doesn't know the royal family, but only the Shang family.

After Shang Xiao and Cheng Lingxiu died in battle, it wasn't that he didn't realize that it was the Nanchen royal family who did it. He endured it all the time in order to protect the merchant army for the deceased couple.

In the past, he had often heard from the couple that their sons and daughters—Shang Yunlan, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, had a heart disease, and Erniang Shang, the head of Heyang County, was arrogant and stubborn. He thought that the Duke of Zhen's mansion would be defeated.

But now seeing Shang Shaoyan and finding out that there is a successor to the Duke of Zhen, he was naturally very happy, and immediately said boldly: "Compare, why not compare?"

Seeing this, Shang Shaoyan smiled slightly: "Since that's the case, let's invite Deputy General Mo—you pick the most convenient weapon first, and I will pick the same weapon as you."

Deputy General Mo was very happy when he met his opponent and learned that there was a successor to the merchant. Now that Shang Shaoyan was frank and upright, he felt even more at ease: "How can I call the county master's candidate? The last general is not a girl who is underestimated. After all, General Cheng used to often I can't stand up; the general just wants to see the real level of the county lord, so it's better for the county lord to choose the best, okay?"

Talking to direct people is the most comfortable, Shang Shaoyan laughed loudly: "Okay, respect is worse than obedience."

Qiao Xiuyu followed behind Shang Shaoyan, looking at her tenderly, and didn't feel uncomfortable about not speaking from the beginning to the end.

This caused Mo Xing to look at him several times, and then asked in a low voice when Shang Shaoyan raised his weapon: "Who is this person?"

Shang Shaoyan smiled, with a trace of tenderness in his phoenix eyes: "This is my fiancé, you can call him Qilangjun."

Qiao Xiuyu was overjoyed in her heart, and her face also showed some joy, but Mo Xing looked at him with some disgust: "Fiance? Can he do it?"
