Chapter 8: The Sky in the Shadows
When the sun is in the sky, the reflection of the sun flashes in the green jungle, which looks colorful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the middle of the jungle there was a clear spring, where three sturdy horses drank the cool water, and three young men sat on a towering tree to enjoy the coolness.
Long Liang sighed: "It's really strange, it was cool yesterday, and it's hot like this today!"
Yuan Jia wiped the sweat on his head and said: "It seems that the climate is really different in various places, it is still cooler over there, and it is hotter on the county government." ”
Jia Wei closed his eyes and leaned against the tree, not joining the conversation between the two of them.
The three of them set off from Kaifu and walked in the direction of Baihu County. According to the parchment, there are still four months before the start of school, so the three of them are moving forward with a kind of mentality.
Long Liang picked up the kettle and took a sip, looking at this picture-like scenery, he couldn't help but sigh: "I have been in the palace for sixteen years, and I can only see this great river and mountain when I am on patrol, this was a luxury scenery for me before!"
Yuan Jia smiled: "I'm just the opposite, I've seen such scenery for fifteen years, but everything on the rivers and lakes is a luxury for me." ”
Long Liang said: "Oh! By the way, I forgot that the rivers and lakes are also a luxury for me!"
After putting down the kettle in his hand, Long Liang took out a map from his storage bag, on which the respective locations of the six counties of Xu Guo were drawn.
Long Liang pointed to the White Tiger County on the map and said, "We still need to cross one or two counties from the White Tiger County, so we need to go to the county capital of Gehu County, where we are now, and go through the procedures for going to the White Tiger County." ”
Yuan Jia asked, "Do you still need to go to White Tiger County?"
Long Liang smiled and didn't speak, and continued to look at the map.
Yuan Jia looked at the three words "White Tiger County" on the map and asked suspiciously, "Long Liang, why do you want to go to Shengyun Academy?"
Long Liang smiled: "On the one hand, it's because it's really good; On the other hand, there are also considerations of the father. ”
Jia Wei, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke: "Baihu County is the smallest county in Xu State, but because Duke Baihu made great contributions in the previous dynasty, he was given autonomy by the emperor and became the most powerful minister in Xu State. And the identity of others in the Holy Cloud Academy is unknown, so Long Liang's status as a prince will not help him in the slightest. ”
Yuan Jia nodded and said, "No wonder you have to go to the county government to go through the formalities." ”
Long Liang looked at Jia Wei strangely and said, "If you don't speak, it's like you're dead, and when you speak, you say so much, you're not normal!"
Jawi leaned against the tree with his eyes closed, as if he had never said that before.
Long Liang looked at Yuan Jia helplessly and said, "He has always been like this, continue to act as if he doesn't exist!"
Yuan Jia smiled bitterly and did not speak.
In Yuan Jia's eyes, Long Liang was a person who brought infinite affection, and although his status was extremely noble, he never showed a trace of superiority in his conversation; And Jia Wei, although he is cold on the outside and not easy to get close to people, is very enthusiastic in his heart, full of cold on the outside and hot on the inside.
While everyone was chatting in the shade, on a giant tree not far from here, an old man with purple eyebrows and clothes stood on the branch of this giant tree, looking at the three teenagers and smiling, "It seems that I don't need to protect him, this kid Yuanjia should have the ability to protect himself now, I can finally go back to Kaifeng to drink!"
After a while, the three of them got back on their horses and walked towards the county government, three people and three horses, so harmonious in the sun.
"After walking for a while, we will arrive at Feixia Town, which is the only way to go to the county government, let's go there first to rest and have a meal by the way!" Long Liang acted as a tour guide at this time, after all, no one knew more about Xu Guo's administration than him.
Yuan Jia ran the Heavenly Eye Technique, and saw that there was indeed a town in front of him, although the scale was not as large as the opening service, but there were also many figures shuttling around the town, and it seemed that there was a lot of popularity!
Walking on the official road to Feixia Town, the three of them saw the market outside the town, some vendors were selling local specialties, and passers-by had satisfied smiles on their faces, a harmonious scene.
Yuan Jia looked at the smiles on the faces of those residents, and couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart, it was a warm current from the depths of his heart, and this warm current infected Yuan Jia from these ordinary people, and then he remembered Meng Kao's conversation with him at that time:
"Why would a capable person help ordinary people who have nothing to do with him?"
"Why? Master. ”
"Because they can get warmth in them, and this warmth is worth everything in the world!"
Yuan Jia looked at everything in front of him and finally understood the meaning of Master's words at that time, no wonder many people have been fighting for the smiles on the faces of these ordinary people all their lives.
Just when the three of them were about to enter the city, several armor soldiers stopped them, and the leader was a armor soldier with a steel helmet, Yuan Jia heard Long Liang say that generally this kind of dress is the commander of the army, that is, the meaning of the squad leader.
When the three of them saw that it was the soldiers defending the city, they tightened their reins, and when the three of them stopped, Wu Chang stepped forward and shouted, "You are not allowed to enter the city today!"
After all, Long Liang had always been pampered in the past, and when he saw a Wu Commander shouting at him, he couldn't help frowning: "Why?"
Wu Chang glared and said, "If you are not allowed to enter, you are not allowed to enter, what is the reason, get out!"
When Yuan Jia heard him say the word "roll", he was worried that Long Liang and Jia Wei would do something to this Wu Commander, so he immediately looked at the two of them, and found that both of them frowned slightly, and turned the horse's head without saying much.
After walking for a while, Long Liang sighed and said, "It seems that there is only a detour to the county government." ”
"You're going to the county hall?" An old woman who was passing by asked them.
Yuan Jia smiled and responded, "Yes, Grandma, why don't you let it go here?"
The old woman said: "There was an accident in the county government in front, it is said that there was a rebellion, and the old man is angry, and he can't go down this road these days!"
Long Liang asked: "The county government has rebelled, why is Taishou blocking the roads of the town?"
The old woman said: "The affairs of the official master are what we small people can inquire about, let's go quickly, don't let the town in front of you be closed after a while!" With that, he continued his journey to the front.
The three of them stood in place and pondered, when Jia Wei suddenly said, "What does Huang Wei want to do?"
Long Liang said: "At the annual meeting in the palace this year, all the county guards were present, and even Peng Lianzhan, the lord of the White Tiger County, arrived, but this Huang Yan was absent from illness, and his father did not ask about it, but I can see that my father is very concerned." ”
After seeing Yuan Jia, who was full of doubts, Long Liang explained: "Huang Yan, the Taishou of Gehu County, was once a close minister of his father, and he was appointed by his father as a county Taishou because of his outstanding talent. But after five years in office, his attitude towards the court began to slowly become cold, and his father was about to inquire about the matter, but at this time, the enemy invaded, so the matter was shelved. After the war, Huang Yan's attitude began to warm up again, and my father no longer cared about this matter, but my teacher Xu Lu said that Huang Yan had bad intentions. ”
Yuan Jia was a little dizzy by what he said, after all, he didn't know anything about the affairs of officialdom, and it was a little difficult for him to understand these things, but he also understood some of the stakes.
Jia Wei said: "Xu Lu Taifu is afraid that Huang Yan will support the army and respect himself?"
Long Liang shook his head and said, "I asked the teacher, but the teacher didn't tell me too much. ”
Yuan Jia said: "Instead of talking about this, let's discuss how to go first!"
"That's right! Long Liang said and looked at the map carefully.
If Long Liang used his status as a crown prince, the road to Baihu County would definitely be unimpeded, but this was not in line with the royal family's training for him. Long Liang himself also knew that his status as a prince would be detrimental to his experience, so he didn't want to tell others about his identity as a prince at all, if it wasn't for Jia Wei, Yuan Jia might not know Long Liang's identity until now.
It's like Long Liang doesn't know Yuan Jia's identity.
Long Liang looked at the map, and soon Long Liang said: "It would have taken only three days to get from here to the county government, but if we weren't allowed to go here, we would have to take the border line, which would be equivalent to sparing a bend, and it would take about seven days." ”
"Which border?" Jawi asked.
Long Liang looked at him with disdain and said, "Aren't you behind the gate, you don't even know which border line, it's really not a good job!"
Jia Wei glanced at Long Liang and said, "I didn't memorize the map, how could I know it at once!"
Long Liang laughed twice and said, "It's the side of the Scarlet Source Empire. ”
Jia Wei didn't speak anymore after hearing this, and Long Liang continued: "If you go here to the county capital, there are not so many towns, so it will be relatively complicated. ”
Yuan Jia smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, then let's go now!"
Jia Wei said: "Let's go!"
The three of them turned their horses' heads at the same time and walked in the direction of a lofty mountain.
At the place where the three of them left, just a cup of tea, there were already two people wrapped in black cloaks, and the eyes that emerged from the cloak made people shudder, and the direction of those eyes was really the direction the three of them left.
"Is that them?"
"That's right! The piece had already been pulled out by them, but I had killed it before he could say anything. ”
"That thief is useless, but his body has to be disposed of, don't spoil Childe's big thing!"
"Don't worry, do you want to kill the three of them now?"
"Last time, Lao Qi was good at making claims, and his arm hasn't grown up yet!"
"Then let them live a little longer!"
As the two spoke, a black mist filled the air, and after it dissipated, the two were gone.
