Boss Yan looked at Xu Ziyu with a smile, as if the tension just now did not exist at all. Xu Ziyu also pretended to be stupid, and after pondering for a while, he explained his condition.
In fact, Boss Yan's illness is mainly in the stomach. It may be that he suffered from starvation in his early years and hurt his stomach, but he worked hard for this cottage and often did not eat on time, which was the most red and caused stomach bleeding.
Moreover, because his stomach was uncomfortable, he naturally couldn't eat, and he had no energy if he couldn't eat, which made him seem to have no energy.
The disease is not intractable, and Xu Ziyu soon gave him a prescription.
Boss Yan put away the prescription but didn't boil it right away. Xu Ziyu also guessed that the other party couldn't be so assured of him, so he didn't bother, just asked if he could find a place for them to rest.
After they left, Boss Yan looked at the tall and strong man, and rubbed his forehead lightly: "A Guang, did you find them?"
The tall and strong man nodded: "Yeah, they passed by down the mountain. We wanted to get two coins by hand, but we only saw when we stepped in. They were dressed in ordinary clothes."
Boss Yan frowned: "Guang, didn't I tell you not to rob ordinary people?"
A Guang said rationally: "We didn't rob, but since he is a doctor, should I invite him up to see your doctor?"
Boss Yan was speechless: "Why did you stop them if you didn't rob them?"
A Guang said: "Didn't a few boys come to explore the road two days ago? Listening to what they mean, it seems that someone wants to take the road behind our mountain. I think it's better to tell them in advance and prepare our road money. , to save the trouble at that time."
Boss Yan rubbed his forehead: "Okay, you reported this to me a few days ago, so what does this have to do with today?"
A Guang's eyes widened: "I saw them coming out of the woods, and thought they were also here to explore the way, like saying hello in the past, but when I got closer, I saw that their clothes were quite torn, and the man was wearing He was still injured. I saw that the wound was well handled, so I asked a question, and then another man said he was a doctor, so I brought him up. Boss, don't worry, they all came blindfolded when they came. Well, I don't know the exact location of our stockade."
Boss Yan nodded and sent A Guang away. Since the other party came out of the woods, he would definitely not be a foreigner, but they had been entrenched here for so many years. Be careful.
I still don't know the bottom of these two people, let them live for a while and then talk about it.
Boss Yan found someone at random, handed him the prescription and put it away, and asked him to go to the city to find a doctor to have a look.
Because of his identity, it is not convenient for him to appear in the city, and it is very unrealistic to invite the doctor to this cottage, which is why he has been tortured by this stomach problem for so long.
He sighed softly. Recently, foreigners have been spying on the secret passage in the back mountain. If the stockade really can't keep it, he can only destroy that passage. It's just that the people in this cottage are all pointing to the secret road to eat. If it is destroyed, how can they feed the people of this cottage
Boss Yan couldn't help rubbing his forehead hard, it was all trouble...
Xu Ziyu naturally didn't understand the troubles of Boss Yan, but now he also has his own troubles. →. → "My wife?" Qi Yuxuan looked at him blankly, spit out two words coldly.
Xu Ziyu rolled his eyes, and immediately rubbed up against it, and called out softly, "Xianggong..."
Qi Yuxuan: …
Even after so long, he still felt that he couldn't figure out the thickness of Xu Ziyu's face...
One sentence made Qi Yuxuan disgusted half to death, but fortunately Xu Ziyu accepted it as soon as he saw it, and decisively brought the topic to this stockade.
"You know?" Xu Ziyu stared at Qi Yuxuan with wide eyes.
Qi Yuxuan glanced at him lightly: "The Pingxi Army has been stationed in the northwest for more than ten years. Do you think I will not pay attention to the situation around here?"
"No, I'm just surprised." Xu Ziyu waved his hands again and again, joking, Qi Yuxuan was quite proud of the Pingxi Army he had trained, which naturally included the intelligence system. He would not underestimate the information network of the Pingxi Army.
"Then... How could the Pingxi Army tolerate bandits appearing here?" Xu Ziyu was a little puzzled. It stands to reason that with Qi Yuxuan's character, he would not tolerate the kind of bandit who harmed the people. But it happened to be in his jurisdiction, such a big bandit den was not destroyed, there must be some secrets in it.
After thinking about it, this is not a secret, so Qi Yuxuan introduced the situation here.
The predecessor of this bandit den was a descendant of a prince of the Daliang Kingdom. The prince couldn't understand the former emperor, so he raised an army to rebel. Later, he was defeated and killed. Naturally, his family died and fled. One of them went to the northwest frontier.
At first, these people didn't give up and tried to plan something in the northwest. Unfortunately, Qi Yuxuan's father was not a good friend. Seeing that this group of people had the wrong thoughts, they decisively sent troops to destroy their remnants.
In fact, the first time the rebellion failed, the elites in the hands of the prince were basically lost, and those who were able to live in the northwest frontier were just some idiots who dreamed of establishing a new emperor, and the youngest son of the prince.
Originally, after the whereabouts of these people were discovered by Qi Yuxuan's father, he wanted to deal with them, but later the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty the world, and sent a secret letter to Qi Yuxuan's father. way of life.
Who knew that this group of people saw that Qi Yuxuan's father didn't respond, they thought they planned carefully, and the form became more and more rampant, and even tried to force the ten-year-old little prince to be their puppet. Later, Qi Yuxuan's father couldn't stand it anymore, so he sent troops to destroy them completely.
And that little prince, with the emperor's secret decree, kept his name incognito, and later settled here and became a bandit.
After listening to Qi Yuxuan's story, Xu Ziyu still didn't understand, why let the descendant of that prince be a bandit here? In theory, if you want to keep them alive, wouldn't it be better to put them under house arrest in the capital
Qi Yuxuan didn't know how the ten-year-old little prince had a secret conversation with the emperor at that time, but he estimated that it should be related to the secret passage in the back mountain.
"Secret way?" Hearing this word, Xu Ziyu suddenly felt as if he had been beaten with blood.
Although the original text did not mention any secret passages at all, but according to the general inertia, there will be treasures in this secret passage!
Hearing Xu Ziyu's words, Qi Yuxuan was a little dumbfounded, and he rubbed Xu Ziyu's head: "What are you thinking about! This secret road is a road leading to the outside of the customs. It is said that it is a secret road. In fact, many businesses They will all use this secret passage for smuggling.”
"Oh..." Hearing that there were no treasures, Xu Ziyu wilted a lot, but soon he found the key word: "Smuggling?"
"Yes, smuggling." Qi Yuxuan nodded.
Xu Ziyu's eyes widened: "The descendant of the prince... smuggling here?"
Qi Yuxuan shook his head: "They don't smuggle, they are responsible for guarding this secret passage. This secret passage can connect the inside and outside of the customs, but there are several very narrow intersections. Of course, don't be afraid of 10,000, but if they accidentally fall, they will destroy those key places, and as long as those places are destroyed, the road will be cut off."
Xu Ziyu frowned: "Since this road is dangerous, why not just destroy it?"
"Because the country of Daliang needs this road." Qi Yuxuan said calmly: "Those foreigners are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves, but they have a lot of cattle and sheep skins and some strange herbs in their hands. The country of Daliang needs these things. , but due to official reasons, the Daliang Kingdom has no way to open a mutual market in the border areas, so it can only use the method of smuggling to achieve its goal."
"But... aren't these businessmen afraid of being killed by those foreigners?"
"No, those foreigners don't dare. Anyone who can 'smuggle' through this secret passage has been checked, and those businessmen are inextricably linked with certain ministers in the court, except for salt. And tea, no strategic materials can enter the grassland through this secret road, most of these 'businessmen' smuggled in the past are some luxury goods." Qi Yuxuan explained in detail.
"In addition to guarding the secret passage, the people here also need to check whether the merchants are carrying illegal private goods. Some things are inconvenient for the court to do, so they are handed over to them."
"No wonder..." Xu Ziyu suddenly realized, he just said, with Qi Yuxuan's character, how could he tolerate bandits on his own territory, it turns out that these people are not bandits, more like... Customs
Forget it, neither the bandit nor the customs has anything to do with him, it would be better for him to leave here with Xiao Xuanxuan as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the vision is very rich, and the reality is very skinny. Originally, Xu Ziyu thought that he had prepared a prescription for that Boss Yan and would be able to leave soon.
Unexpectedly, their appearance was too coincidental, which made the boss Yan suspicious. When he explained that he wanted to leave, the other party kept him very enthusiastically. That kind of enthusiastic attitude was simply creepy. Xu Ziyu never knew that Enthusiasm can be so terrifying.
"What should I do now?" Xu Ziyu and Qi Yuxuan sat in the room and looked at each other.
They are now under house arrest in disguise, although Boss Yan's tone is kind, but it cannot hide the fact that they are trapped in the cottage.
"Wait." Qi Yuxuan said calmly.
Although they were under house arrest, Boss Yan's attitude towards them did not become bad, and they were not locked up, but were forced not to leave the cottage.
"You're not in a hurry." Xu Ziyu didn't know what to say, but he thought that Qi Yuxuan was an important male supporting actor in this world. Before the scene of his death, God was still very kind to him. Yes, there shouldn't be a problem... right
