The system forced me to be emperor

Xiao Rui was happy, he didn't expect a new mission, could it be related to the Black Lotus Sect?

So, he opened the system to check, and it was exactly as he guessed!

I saw the content as follows:

"New task: Please ask the host to personally investigate the true identity of the female saint of the Black Lotus Sect. After the task is completed, the descending value will be +50. This task is dangerous, so there will be no punishment."

It seems that Shezhai must be visited, and Xiao Rui is very moved by the abundant value of this mission.But the system also reminded that it is dangerous and belongs to the advent value.

The safe way is just like what Guo Jia said, wait for Zhang Sanqian to bring his troops, and then surround Shezhai to arrest them, but doing so will inevitably cause chaos in Shezhai. Will take the opportunity to escape, then trying to find her is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Moreover, for Xiao Rui's safety, Zhang Sanqian would never let Xiao Rui put himself in danger.

Therefore, after making a decision in Xiao Rui's heart, he did not agree with Guo Jia's suggestion, but said: "Feng Xiao, I can't wait for Zhang Sanqian, I need to go to Shezhai personally, and meet the Hei Lian sect inside." !"

"Your Highness, why?" Guo Jia was puzzled, he couldn't figure out the reason for Xiao Rui's request.

Xiao Rui couldn't use the mission as an excuse, so he said, "I have my own reasons."

Hearing this, Guo Jia knew that Xiao Rui had made up his mind, so he said, "With the protection of Yuanfang and Dianwei, we pretend to be passers-by. Be careful and there should be no danger. It's just that when we went to Yao's house yesterday, the escaped female assassin Seeing how we look, it's more troublesome."

Li Yuanfang smiled and said: "It's okay sir, I know a little about disguise, we can dress up, last night was dark and dark, and that female assassin couldn't see carefully."

"In that case, let's go!" Guo Jia said immediately.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Thank you Feng Xiao for your support."

Guo Jia said righteously: "As His Highness' counselor, it is irresponsible to agree to His Highness to go to Shezhai this time. It is absolutely unwise to put His Highness on the brink of danger. But I also know that Your Highness is a man. Conghui has his own opinion, since His Highness is going this time, there must be important reasons, so all I can do is to be careful at all times to ensure that everything is safe. As for the words of thanks, please take them back!"

Xiao Rui's heart warmed, and he nodded vigorously.

Chapter 304: Entering the village to investigate and find a big fish

In Daxia, the culture of the She people is different from that of the Han people. They call themselves "the descendants of the red-legged skirt and Panhu". Although they are also citizens of Daxia, they all like to call themselves Shanha, which means guests in the mountains.In the early years, they migrated to this land, and the Han people who settled here first called the She people who came later as guests, and as time passed, a custom was formed.

This She village is in Songyang County, so Xiao Rui was able to find out the basic information about this village.There are about 100 families of She people in the stockade. They settle in the jungle, cultivate and hunt by themselves, are self-sufficient, and rarely communicate with the outside world. Every time they go out to the county town, they also sell prey and buy necessities for life.

Therefore, there is no official road to Shezhai, only small trails.

Similarly, because they are far away from the outside world, there are few guests. Xiao Rui's sudden arrival will definitely arouse the other party's vigilance. A line was engraved on the forehead: We are awesome, we are here to find trouble!

So Xiao Rui and Guo Jia dressed up as scholars and walked together with bamboo boxes on their backs, without Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei.

And Li Yuanfang and Dianwei hid around Shezhai with strong bows on their backs, acting as snipers, watching Xiao Rui and Guo Jia's actions and waiting for opportunities.

Although Xiao Rui also practiced martial arts, his lips were red and his teeth were white. Putting on a white shirt, he immediately became a handsome scholar, but there was no trace of martial arts practice from his appearance.As for Guo Jia, he is just a scholarly spirit, so there is no need to pretend.

Two helpless scholars pass by Shezhai, even if She people are curious, they will relax their vigilance.

The two approached Shezhai along the small path, and were soon discovered by She people and stopped.

"Buddha's son, why are you running around..." asked two She people holding long sticks and carrying bows and arrows.

Xiao Rui blinked, spread his hands, and asked, "Hello, can I speak the official language?"

Although Guo Jia is well educated, he doesn't know the uncommon She dialect either.

The two She people looked at each other, and one of them hurried back to the village, and soon, an old man came out.

"You two, where did you come from and where are you going? How did you come here?" The old man looked at Xiao Rui and Guo Jia, and looked at their outfits, and the vigilance in his eyes relaxed.

Xiao Rui hurriedly returned the salute, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "Hello, old man, we came from Lishui Mansion, and went west to Shangrao Mansion. We were greedy for shortcuts, but we lost our way and came to Guizhai by mistake. We are hungry and thirsty. It's hard to bear, the dry food has been exhausted, please let the old man make it easier for us to rest and have a full meal, we will not eat in vain."

As he spoke, he quickly took out his money bag from his bosom, and poured out more than a dozen copper coins. Guo Jia, who was at the side, also took out some copper coins, and said embarrassingly: "There are not many copper coins. I hope the old man will not be offended."

The old man saw the restraint and embarrassment of the two, and the cautiousness in his eyes completely disappeared, so he said: "Since passing by this place, it is fate, you follow me."

The old man nodded to the She people who were guarding him, and led Xiao Rui and Guo Jia into the stockade. On the way, he did not forget to remind: "You two scholars, rest at my house tonight, and you will set off again tomorrow, and follow the path to the northwest. If you go, you will arrive at Songyang County. Don’t try to take shortcuts and get lost in the future. In addition, most of our She villages don’t know Mandarin, so don’t run around. We She people live in mountains and forests all year round, so we are more alert. Carry weapons with you, it will be bad if you accidentally hurt you."

"Don't worry, old man, we won't walk around indiscriminately." Xiao Rui responded.

Afterwards, the two followed the old man into the Shezhai village, and when they met She people on the way, they both showed cautious expressions.Fortunately, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei were not brought along, if they were brought along, they probably wouldn't be able to enter the village.

When they came to a bamboo building, the old man arranged for the two to live in a guest room to rest, then asked his grandson to entertain the two, and then went downstairs to prepare dinner.

The old man's grandson is twelve or thirteen years old, eccentric, which should be the reason why the old man taught him, he can speak official language.

Xiao Rui took out the toys and storybooks that he had prepared in advance, and the little guy received the gift, and yelled at each other, immediately drawing the relationship between the three of them closer.

"Erlei, don't outsiders rarely come to your village? When we came in, I felt that the villagers in the village were full of hostility. Don't you She people claim to be guests from the mountains and are very hospitable? Is there something wrong with us? " Xiao Rui asked.

The little guy flipped through the storybook, opened his mouth and said, "My grandpa won't let me talk nonsense, but the two elder brothers are willing to give me their beloved books. How can they be bad people? I'll tell you quietly, you can't tell grandpa We She people are hospitable, but recently an important person came to the village, so the old patriarch asked me to be more vigilant to prevent bad guys from breaking in."

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Well, then the two of us didn't intend to come here, so we won't arouse the hostility of your old patriarch."

"Probably not, my grandfather is an elder of the clan, so it will be fine if you bring you in." The little guy replied.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Guo Jia then asked: "Could it be that a high-ranking official has come to Guizhai? Is it some high-ranking official? The biggest official I have ever seen is the county magistrate."

Guo Jia pretended to be stupid and Dabai was really similar, with a look of longing, like a nerd.

Er Lei shook his head and said, "I only know it's a woman. She lives in Uncle Lan's house. Uncle Lan is a doctor in the village. Last time I took medicine for grandpa, I took a look from afar."

"Yo, she's still a woman, so there must be guards around her." Xiao Rui asked.

"There are four or five people, not many people, and they all stare at me coldly!" Er Lei was a little upset.

As soon as the words were finished, Er Lei's grandfather came up, and it turned out that dinner was ready, and he asked the two of them to eat.

The old man prepared the special food of Shezhai, and the two pretended to be hungry and ate it, and went back upstairs to rest. At the same time, they noticed that there were guards outside the bamboo building, which seemed to prevent Xiao Rui and Guo Jia from running around.

Coming to the upstairs room, Guo Jia said: "Your Highness, the people in the village are heavily guarded and vigilant. Although we sneaked in, it may not be easy to find out the identity of the Black Lotus Sect member quietly. "

Xiao Rui came to the window and saw that the watchman outside hadn't left, and it looked like he was going to watch all night. He laughed and said, "The more you are on guard, the more it means it's a big fish, it's probably the saint of the Black Lotus Sect." Fortunately, Zhang Sanqian was not waited for, once troops were sent to encircle and suppress, with their vigilance, the opponent would run away before they arrived."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "For the present plan, we can only act."

"Good!" Xiao Rui agreed.

at the same time.

In the bamboo building in the center of the village, Erlei's grandfather came to see the patriarch.

"Old Lei, I heard that you brought two strangers into the village?" The old patriarch sat at the head, and there was a middle-aged man behind him, so he asked Er Lei's grandfather.

The middle-aged man spoke Mandarin.

Erlei's grandfather frowned, and asked, "Mr. Lu, can't you? Our She ethnic group hastened to be hospitable. When we meet two scholars who pass by here, can't we even do a little favor and let them stay overnight?"
