Chapter 663 Xu Guang, long head to show height(1/2)
It is one thing to not be afraid of danger, but it is another thing to rush up even though you know you can avoid danger.
She pondered, "Who Yan thinks is the best way to lead the way?"
Yan Bo thought for a while and said quickly: "If you are familiar with the road, there are three people to choose from. However, one person has not returned from visiting relatives, and one person broke his leg a few days ago. Another person is named Xu Guang, who has been a soldier in Qingyang Pass for nearly ten years and is very familiar with the road there, but..."
"What's wrong?" Feng Wuyou looked at Uncle Yan strangely.
What's the matter, and hesitating?
Yan Bo smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I was punished not long ago. I'm afraid that he won't do it carefully."
"Why are you punished?" Feng Wuyou asked immediately.
"This... is just a small matter." Yan Bohan passed by.
Xu Guang was punished because when Feng Wuyou returned to Wuzhou, Xiao Jinglan asked all the monks and Taoists in the city to move out.
The one who wastrayed the person was Xu Guang. As a result, he was slow to do it and was seen by Feng Wuyou.
Xiao Jinglan immediately asked Yan Lin to remove him from his post.
However, no one dared to tell Feng Wuyou about such a thing.
The matter of Xiao Jinglan's move to monks and Taoists [Updated Fast] was clearly hidden from Feng Wuyou. Later, everyone in Wuzhou said that those monks and Taoists went to pray for Feng Wuyou.
Although Yan Bo didn't know why Xiao Jinglan did this, since he did this, it naturally made sense.
Since Xiao Jinglan wanted to hide it, Uncle Yan certainly did not dare to let Feng Wuyou know.
Feng Wuyou didn't care either, and she said, "Then ask him to lead the way. Just tell him that if the matter is done this time, I will ask the emperor to remove his punishment."
Uncle Yan frowned and carefully recalled Xu Guang’s information.
Except for being punished for the monks and Taoists' actions not long ago, this person has no adverse manifestations at the rest.
And that punishment can be said to be purely his unlucky, and he hit something related to Feng Wuyou.
If this is excluded, he is very familiar with the terrain of Qingyangguan, so he is indeed a suitable guide.
After a little weighing the pros and cons, Yan Bo received Feng Wuyou's order and went down to order someone to notify Xu Guang.
What Xiao Jinglan said about the removal of his position is that he is really a removal of his position.
Xu Guang had been a soldier in the border for many years. He finally transferred to Wuzhou and tried every means to be promoted to the sixth rank. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinglan shook him from head to toe with just one word.
These days, he has been unemployed at home and goes around to work hard when he has nothing to do, hoping to get back on his feet.
But... others heard that he was taken down by Xiao Jinglan, and no one dared to help him.
When I was depressed at home, suddenly, someone from the palace came to pass the order.
When he saw the guards, he was shocked and thought that the last incident had not been finished yet, so he almost escaped.
If he hadn't known that even if he escaped, there would be no other place to go, and if the monk could escape, he would have really run away.
He kept his teeth behind, feeling trembling in his heart, but... After listening to the orders of the guards, he realized that he was actually asking him to lead the way.
This is simply a turn of things.
After the guard left, he sat on the ground.
It was really scary to him.
"Master, congratulations!" The housekeeper at home congratulated him loudly.
In the eyes of the butler, the court has assigned his father another job, which means that the previous matter has passed and his master is about to recover.
You know, if Xu Guang was taken away from his post, then those who are servants are also worried.
If Xu Guang loses his income and doesn't want them to serve him, wouldn't they also be unemployed?
"Congratulations?" Xu Guang got up from the ground, thought for a while and laughed: "Yes, congratulations! Send the order to prepare a good banquet. The master must have a good drink today."
...
Soldiers are very fast.
After Feng Wuyou settled his entourage, he prepared to set off early the next morning.
Before leaving, she also met Xu Guang.
Moreover, Xu Guang took the initiative to come over to say hello to her.
He was a middle-aged man, wearing a very particular robe. From his figure, he could be seen as a soldier, but...
I don’t know if he was emptied by wine and sex in Wuzhou in the past few years. His figure is no longer as strong as a real soldier, but he is a little thin.
In addition, he was wearing a robe that was in regular clothes, so overall he didn't look like a military officer, but rather a civil servant.
If it weren't for the introduction of Yan Bo before, Xu Guang had been in Qingyangguan for ten years, just by looking at this, it would be hard to imagine that he had served as a soldier.
Xu Guang came to greet her specifically, and when he spoke, he looked cautious and flattering.
Feng Wuyou frowned.
No wonder Yan Bo hesitated when introducing him.
She really didn't expect that Xu Guang had this kind of temperament.
After all, I have been a soldier for ten years, so why has I not had the character of joining the army at all?
"Don't worry, Empress, Xu Guang must do his best and will never let anything happen to the Empress on the road."
Xu Guang kept making promises in front of Feng Wuyou, but in fact, he was just showing off his presence.
Feng Wuyou has also watched some costume dramas before and knows that it is difficult to get promoted in the military. This Xu Guang is probably because he knows how to do business, so he can be transferred from the border to Wuzhou.
Moreover, as Feng Wuyou knows, the reason why Xu Guang was able to reach the sixth rank was actually Cheng Huang's path.
Strictly speaking, he can no longer be regarded as the Xiao family army.
However, Xiao Jinglan has now taken over the entire Yan Yun and has some pacification policies for the officials under Cheng Huang's rule, so Xu Guang can stay.
After quickly passing Xu Guang’s information in his mind, Feng Wuyou felt a little more comfortable.
She had a good impression of the Xiao family army. Whether it was Cheng Zhijie, Wei Yongming or Liu Heita, these people had different personalities but were all strong men.
If there is a person like Xu Guang in the Xiao family army, it will definitely make her eat a fly.
She didn't say much, just nodded and said, "Then I'll bother Lord Xu."
It is farther from Wuzhou to Qingyang Pass than from Wuzhou to Xianzi Pass.
If you only talk about straight-line distance and whip up, you will be here in more than three days.
But because of the poisonous swamp in front of Qingyang Pass, the schedule will be added for one day.
Especially before the poisonous swamp, they had to rest for a night in the neighboring town of Qingping, prepare enough, and then pass by at noon the next day when the sun was at its peak.
Feng Wuyou set out early in the morning, and rushed for three consecutive days without hesitation. He finally arrived in Qingping Town on the evening of the third day.
The Qingping Guardian came out from afar.
"I will meet the Queen!"
The governor of Qingping was a middle-aged general in his forties. He was appointed as the general of the governor and his surname was Cao.
There were traces of weathered and frost on his face, which was very consistent with Feng Wuyou's imagination of a veteran who had been through the battle formation for a long time.
Feng Wuyou turned over and dismounted and helped him up personally.
She has always maintained enough respect for these Xiao family troops guarding Yan Yun.
General Cao Shen was shocked when he didn't expect Feng Wuyou to be so approachable.
He quickly stood up before Feng Wuyou touched him and said repeatedly: "I dare not bother the Empress."
As soon as he stood up, he heard someone laughing and said, "Old Cao, long time no see!"
As soon as General Cao Shen raised his eyes, he saw Xu Guang following Feng Wuyou.
Suddenly, he showed a sincere smile: "You are here too. I will feel relieved with you."
This poisonous swamp is very dangerous, and the location of the swamp inside will change. The soldiers who often come and go to Qingping Town and Qingyang Pass are often broken into it, but only Xu Guang is the only one who has never happened in ten years.
This time the Empress passed by herself, and General Cao Shen kept a big rock in his heart.
I was afraid that if Feng Wuyou had something unexpected, he would be in trouble.
When he saw Xu Guang, his heart finally felt relieved.
Feng Wuyou watched the two of them say hello, and his view of Xu Guang changed slightly.
Xu Guang looked slippery and might have been so harmonious with the guards near Qingyang Pass, so he didn't think he was a man who only knows how to do something.
"The Empress must be tired when she is on the way. We will prepare a banquet for a while, please invite it from the Empress."
General Cao Shen found that Feng Wuyou was still standing outside the town, and quickly invited her inside.
Feng Wuyou nodded and walked in.
General Cao Shen had already prepared a room for them. Feng Wuyou rushed for three days in a row. He really felt that his clothes were almost stuck together, so he went to wash up.
She didn't ask Qianxin Qianyue to serve, but just asked them to clean themselves up first and then come over to help her clean up her back.
