Chapter 23 Target: Huxian
Life experience and knowledge are different, so a stupid and philanthropist village woman can trick Xue Shuiwu into a mess, a talented girl who is well-read in poetry and books.
However, the acquisition of life experience does not necessarily require the person involved to experience blood and tears in person. Sometimes the experiences and lessons taught by the predecessors may be a little awkward when they are just used, but you can quickly turn them into your own thing and use them easily.
Ye Xiaotian has the experience taught from countless "predecessors", so he arranged the trip to the west, which was much easier than the bumpy road of the water dance in the past. Of course, in such a place where the people are tough and the public security is poor, it is also an important reason for a man to come forward to do things more conveniently than a woman.
Whenever Ye Xiaotian went, he would first settle Shui Wu and Yaoyao, and then search for merchants who went west in the town. Moreover, he never looked for independent brigades with a large number of people, but instead found several small caravans to join forces, so that the teams could form mutual constraints.
Ye Xiaotian knew very well how despicable the human nature of some people could be in places without legal and moral constraints. Only by mixing with several teams of different subordinates can we ensure that moral and legal constraints remain in the deserted areas to the greatest extent.
At the same time, Ye Xiaotian also made full use of the convenient conditions of traveling west, and began his approach to the water tower plan with the purpose of being afraid of the savage girl.
Ye Xiaotian thought for a long time. Xue Shuiwu was not only handsome, but also so beautiful that she was moved by his heart. She also accompanied the official lady since childhood and read poetry and books. Ye Xiaotian did not want his descendants to continue to struggle at the bottom of society like himself, and to be a young man who ran for three meals a day.
But to change the situation, he can't afford to study and study. Shui Wu - this playmate and schoolmate of the young man from the Ministry of Rites' family, who has been a child, can obviously be a good enlightenment teacher.
As long as you catch up with her, the most responsible teacher Xixi will be prepared, how could Ye Xiaotian not do his best?
The southwest you go, the harder the road is, the fewer towns you encounter along the way, and fewer business trips on the same route. Who can go to places where the birds do not lay eggs? Although Guizhou is not all deserted and poor places, this road is not a shortcut to Guizhou.
This time, Ye Xiaotian and the other two fell into a dilemma. Ye Xiaotian disagreed with the three of them taking the risk. There were very few towns and villages were hidden in the vast mountains. Most of the villages did not contact outsiders and could not take risks.
Finally, they stopped in Lujiao Town and went to Guizhou. One was farther and needed to detour among the mountains, but the road was gentle and relatively safe. The other road needed to pass through the mountains. Although it was two-thirds of the road, it was very desolate along the way and the road was difficult to walk.
Ye Xiaotian stayed in the town for three days, but still didn't wait for a caravan to Guizhou. After noon that day, Ye Xiaotian went out to inquire and was walking back disappointed when he suddenly saw a team of people entering the town. Chao Huan, the town's Baozheng, was welcomed home diligently.
There were more than twenty people in this team, and the escorts were all riding high-headed horses. Kong Wu was strong and surrounded by two light chariots. One light chariot in front was open, and a man in blue robes sat in the middle, and one light chariot behind them carried their luggage, without female relatives.
Ye Xiaotian's heart moved and hurriedly went forward and asked a knight who had just dismounted, "Brother, where are you going?"
The knight immediately showed a vigilant look, glanced at him coldly, and asked, "What are you doing?"
At this time, Chao Baozheng had just invited the noble man on the light cart. When he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that Ye Xiaotian, who had been asking around in the town for the past few days, went to Qiandi caravans, and said loudly: "Go and go, you want to take your companion to Huxian to find a caravan. This is the official team, and you can also disturb me. Let's go away!"
The man in blue robe who walked out of the car glanced at Ye Xiaotian lightly and asked, "You are going to Huxian?"
Ye Xiaotian saw that the man in blue robe was not a few years older than him, but his expression looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. He frowned gently when he didn't speak, as if the rise and fall of the descendants of Yan and Huang over the past five thousand years and even the future of the land of China were all borne by him, and he looked old-fashioned.
Ye Xiaotian quickly stepped forward and reported, "Yes! This young master, Xiao Ke wants to take two girls to Huxian, but the road is dangerous and difficult to walk. He has been stranded in the town for three days. He has not found a team to walk with him. I wonder if you... are you going to Huxian?"
Ye Xiaotian actually wanted to play a couple with Shui Wu, but Shui Wu refused to give in at this point. He had no choice but to do anything. The three of them were always called brother and sister along the way.
The melancholy man habitually locked his eyebrows, nodded lightly, and nodded, "I am going to Huxian. I will set off tomorrow morning. You can wait here early in the morning."
When Ye Xiaotian heard that he claimed to be his official, he knew that he was an official who went to Hu County to take office. It was natural that he was extremely safe to walk with him. He was overjoyed and quickly said good things without any money: "Thank you, sir, you are kind-hearted, bodhisattvas, and have a bright future..."
The melancholy man waved his hand gently and walked up the steps. Chao Baozheng glanced at Ye Xiaotian and quickly chased after him. When he was chasing the melancholy man, Chao Baozheng made an inadvertent gesture. A village man standing on the street nodded gently and turned around and left.

The next morning, Ye Xiaotian took Xue Shuiwu and Yang Leyao to the door of Chao Baozheng's house. After waiting for about half an hour, the gate of Chao's mansion opened wide. The young official who went to Huxian and his group came out. Chao Baozheng followed behind the melancholy man.
When he saw Ye Xiaotian, the melancholy man was speechless. However, when he saw Xue Shuiwu, his eyes lit up slightly. There are not many such handsome women, and they are unique in this remote and poor place, which naturally makes people amazed.
Chao Baozheng respectfully sent the melancholy man to the entrance of the village. Looking at the gradually moving far away, he saw Ye Xiaotian and his family of three sitting in the car carrying goods. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckled, saying, "God can't save you who are looking for death..."
Maybe he saw Xue Shuiwu as a weak woman, and Le Yao was a child again. The melancholy man was kind-hearted and asked the three of them to get into the car.
Yaoyao lay among two piles of miscellaneous items and slept soundly. She got up too early in the morning and was sleepy. Ye Xiaotian and Xue Shuiwu sat cross-legged in the space that was squeezed out. Shui Wu's delicate and soft little hands were tightly grasped by Ye Xiaotian, and she couldn't even get back.
Ye Xiaotian carefully looked at Shui Wu's palm, and looked like a fairy-like figure, and said, "Girl, Xiaotian, I'll count on my fingers. You're missing me in your life."
Shui Wu immediately blushed, shyly shrank her hands, and said shyly: "I knew you were going to talk nonsense again."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Hi! How can you say it's nonsense? Yang Lin and I have always been in love, and I have really learned a lot of skills. Otherwise, I will calculate it for you if you sign up for your birth date?"
Shui Wu spat lightly and said, "It would be strange if you believe in you, you will talk nonsense."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Forget it, you don't believe me, you should listen to what the saint said."
Shui Wu said in surprise: "What did the saint say?"
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Sage Kong said, 'If three people walk together, there must be my wife. Choose the beautiful one and marry him.' Look, what the saint said makes sense."
Shui Wu was both angry and funny. She glared at him hatefully, turned her head to look at the scenery in the mountains, and stopped talking. This was not the first time she had heard Ye Xiaotian's crazy words. Over time, she naturally became immune. She was not used to hearing him nonsense at first.
In fact, Shui Wu knew in her heart that Xiaotian was very vocal, but she had never really forced her to do anything. She had met by chance and was able to send her to Guizhou like this. She was so righteous. Xue Shui Wu was grateful to him and naturally couldn't get angry at the crazy words he said.
Ye Xiaotian smiled and said, "Does what Zi said work? Then I have to ask God to say it. Why don't you raise your head and let me show you the appearance."
Ye Xiaotian had just said this when a horse in front suddenly turned around and said to him: "Little brother, our master is here to invite you, let me talk to you."
Ye Xiaotian had something to ask for, so he stood up immediately, jumped out of the ox cart, and rushed to the cart in front.
As he went along the way, he had already found out that the melancholy man was named Ai Feng, who went to Hu County to serve as Dianshi. Speaking of Dianshi, he was actually a small official who was not a member of the rank of ninth ranks. However, Dianshi was in charge of arrest and inspection of prisoners, and his real power was really considerable.
Due to the Ming Dynasty official system, when the positions of county magistrates or chief clerks are vacant, their responsibilities are also held by the divine history. The county magistrates and chief clerks are both officials of rank, so although the divine history is not up to standard, they must be selected by the Ministry of History and the emperor signed and approved, which is a "official official."
Of course, that's it, Dianshi is still a small official who is not a good person after all, so the control of the court is not so strict. Generally speaking, if a local official reports a candidate, the court rarely rejects it, and most of them will appoint it.
This Aidianshi was originally a county magistrate in a county in the Central Plains. He was demoted to Huxian for his official position because he was demoted to Huxian for the examination of the current chief minister Zhang Juzheng and Zhang.
Huxian was originally a territory under the jurisdiction of chieftains, and it had just been changed to the current state. Not only was Huxian a third-class county, but it was surrounded by chieftain officials. It was very difficult to become an official here, so it was no wonder that Aidianshi always looked melancholy.
Because this place is remote and uneasy, Aidianshi did not bring his female family members, but only brought a few family members. The big men who accompanied him were powerful men from Kong Wu in the village, who protected him on the way.
Ai Dianshi was impatient to take a long journey, so he chose this remote and difficult mountain road. He was an official, and he was a strong man. No one could chew on his hard bones when he came.
There was nothing wrong with it all the way, Aidianshi was lonely and bored. Suddenly he remembered Ye Xiaotian and his party. His girl was so beautiful that it was exciting. Unconsciously, she had a strange thought and ordered him to come to talk to his car.
He wanted to take Ye Xiaotian, but his ultimate goal was to take Ye Xiaotian's pretty "little girl". He was an official, so of course he would not do anything to force the robbery of a commoner to leave his words. However, Xiaotian and his sister were so in a down-and-out manner. As long as they were talking, they would not be too rushing to catch up with him in their relatives. What danger would be there?
