Chapter 125: Strange Old Man

Within a month, the weather has been extremely cold, and many people have been wrapped in thick clothes, and they can't even see their faces clearly, which shows that the climate in the north is unexpectedly cold this year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tianwai, who rushed all the way from Huatian City to Yaoguang Mountain, felt a lot. In the past two years, the war in the north has continued, although it does not have much impact on him, but it has become a major pressure on these people, originally the royal family thought that this time the demon invasion was not a difficult thing to deal with, but I didn't expect that the scale of this time was larger, more than in the past, although the demon clan in the north of Huatian has been eliminated, but 70,000 people died in battle, by no means a small number.

How many families have been forcibly separated, and how many orphans and widows have been born. Along the way, Tian Wai didn't know how many scenes he had seen without a man in the house. And the war between Morun and Xiyue has not yet ended, doesn't the military expenditure and manpower in the middle come from these people?

The closest city to Yaoguang Mountain is the Panshui City in front of Tianwai. There is no longer even a city to talk about, the crumbling walls are crumbling, and in some places they are not as tall as children. In the city, there is not even a decent street to be seen, but there are dirt roads, and the residents live on both sides, and there are vendors pushing carts one after another.

"Little brother, you also fled?" Tian Wai passed by a carriage, on which was a well-dressed old man, looking at the carriage, he must also be a wealthy businessman from other places.

Tian Wai didn't know about fleeing, and looked at the old man with some curiosity.

"Eh, this Morun can't stay any longer, and he secretly doesn't know how much money he has charged for us people, and he is not satisfied! Can't he finish the war, and he still has to pay the military expenses all the time?" the old man looked helpless. The power of the empire is irresistible to these people, not to mention the taxes on weekdays, as soon as the war starts, they continue to collect military expenses from these rich merchants.

The old man thought that the first few times would be over, but many officers actually demanded money from them even harder, and in the end, they could only choose the way to escape.

"Old man, then why did you come to this water city?"

"Little brother, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, although it is a little behind, it is a good place to retire. This world, after all, is still the world of those warriors. The old man shook his head and sighed with some emotion, "Little brother, have you ever heard about the recent extermination of the Donggong family in Xiyue?"

The corners of Tianwai's mouth twitched, and he nodded.

"I originally thought that the Heavenly Family was a bully, but after coming to Huatian, the prestige of the Heavenly Family is even higher than that of the royal family! Such a family will definitely not do anything to bully others!"

"What do you mean by that?"

"If you are a member of the Heavenly Family, little brother, and you are already a master of high achievements, will you still show your fangs?" the old man suddenly lowered his voice.

Tian Wai was stunned, and his merits were high? The Tian family and Hua Tian had come to this point? Tian Wai had never cared much about the affairs in the family, but after his recent experience, he found that there were many things, even if he didn't care about it, he would run to his face.

Seeing that Tian Wai still had a puzzled face, the old man continued: "Of the three major empires, the war in the northern realm of Huatian ended the fastest! But the demon clan in the northern realm of Huatian is still the strongest one! If there is no young marshal of the Heavenly Family and his demon army, relying on the cold city of Tianguan, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it so quickly!" The old man's voice lowered a little again, "These are all I heard from Molun's official friends, little brother, don't be quiet!"

Tian Weeping was stunned, this old man was just seeing him for the first time, so he told himself, and said not to make a noise? Immediately, the old man directly invited Tian Weeping to get in the car to talk.

"It's not a secret, the old man also looked at the little brother like my child who died in Bicheng, so he couldn't hold back his mouth, and I hope that the little brother won't be surprised!" the old man got up and cried towards the sky.

Tian Wai hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man, "The old man is serious. ”

The carriage slowly drove into Panshui City, and people were obviously a little amazed by the ornately decorated carriage.

"Which big guy is here?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a big official!" "Nonsense, I saw it just now, it's for the old man, I'm afraid it's a rich merchant in the city!"

Listening to the sound of discussion outside the car, Tianqi and the old man both showed a trace of helplessness for a while. Panshui City, I don't know how long it has been since I have been to such a character, life here is like a village, isolated from the world, only people who go out, and few people are willing to come back.

This is less than a thousand miles away from Yaoguang Mountain, starting from here, a few hundred miles further is the old site of Ma Village, I am afraid that it has turned into ashes at this moment.

Tianwai did not let Subai follow him, and at this moment, he must have reached the second mountain with Tianwai. Tianqi is also preparing to rest in this water city for one night, and will rush to Yaoguang Mountain early tomorrow morning.

"Little brother. The old man called again, and he, who had not revealed his name, didn't care about Tianwai's name at all, "I don't think you are coming to Panshui City?!"

"I was really just passing through. ”

"Passing by here, I'm afraid I'm going to ...... Yao Guangshan?" The old man was a little embarrassed, and finally said such a place name. Tianwee nodded, but the old man's gaze was even more hesitant.

"Little brother, the old man still advises you not to go for the time being. The old man wanted to speak and stopped saying such a sentence without a beginning or an end, which made Tianwai even more puzzled, this old man was just a rich businessman in Molun, but he seemed to know a lot of things!

"Eh, I'm coming from Molun, and I saw the people of the Di family going to Yaoguang Mountain on the way!" The old man said, the prestige of the Di family in Molun City is unparalleled for a while, no matter which family or official businessman in the city has an instinctive fear of the Di family, and even a little bit of the relationship between the Di family, they will not choose to touch it.

But Tian Wai did not show the hesitation or fear that the old man wanted to see, but seemed to have a faint hint of excitement!

"Old man, what you said is true?

The old man was stunned, this little brother didn't shy away from saying it to the Di family, it was like an offense to the people who had been living in Molun. The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand and signaled to cry quietly. Tian Wai is also helpless, how far has this Morun person been bullied by the Di family, and he is so afraid.

"I didn't see the people who went to the Di family, but I still recognized the signs of their Di family, and they rode horses from the Di family!" The old man was already angry, and his face was nervous, for fear that they would be heard talking about the news about the Di family.

Tianwai nodded with some regret, I'm afraid he will only know when he arrives at Yaoguang Mountain tomorrow.

That night, Tian Wai lived in the same inn as the old man, and it was called an inn, but it was a thatched hut. It's just that this "inn" is really shabby, if it is in Huatian City, such a house is not even worthy of raising horses!

The old man didn't rest very early, but came to the house where Tian wept, looked around, and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so he said: "Little brother, if you insist on going to Yaoguang Mountain, then you must be careful, the border has not been very peaceful recently!"

"Old man, how do you know?"

"Well, after all, it's because you are so similar to my dead child......" The old man almost choked up when he said this, and for a moment he didn't even speak, just lowered his head as if he was remembering something. Tianwai is not easy to interrupt, although the friendship of the old man has been undoubtedly revealed, but Tianwai's heart is instinctively doubting the old man's motives.

Even if he looks very similar to his child, there is no need for him to be so kind to himself, after all, he is still a stranger after all, not to mention that he doesn't know anything about himself, why should he care so much about himself? In this way, it is more like a plot!

After a long time, the old man raised his head, and the corners of his eyes were still slightly red, as if he had forcibly forced his tears back. He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before he spoke again: "Little brother, the old man has no bad intentions, whether you believe it or not, the old man just wants to give you a piece of advice, that's all." ”

After speaking, the old man got up and prepared to leave the room where Tian Cry was, but he paused for a moment, but he saw that Tian Cry had no intention of retaining it, and finally left in a huff.

Nothing was said all night.

The old man's words were certainly somewhat credible, but this was not an excuse to stop Tian Wai from going to Yaoguang Mountain! The next morning, Tian Wai left his room and came to the small courtyard outside. Some of the snowflakes that have fallen all over the courtyard are very relaxed, and if the surrounding scenery is not so depressed, it is quite poetic.

Not long after Tian Wai went out, the old man in the next room also walked out! This old man got up very early! If Tian Wai hadn't been in a hurry, I'm afraid he wouldn't have gotten up so early.

The two stood in the courtyard, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, and neither of them spoke first. In the end, it was the innkeeper who broke the awkward peace.

"You two got up so early, what do you want to eat in the morning, I'll make it for you!" This shopkeeper is very polite, no wonder, Panshui City doesn't know how long it has been since there have been foreign merchants, this is not the only passage between the two countries, and because of this, few people will choose to pass through Panshui City, and naturally the economy is depressed.

"No need. The old man shook his head and motioned for the shopkeeper to push down, and the shopkeeper left in acquainty.

"Little brother, it's better to be old and go with you. How?" said the old man with a smile to Tian Qi, as if he was just inviting Tian Qi to go to dinner. But before the day cried to react, several people had rushed out behind the old man, all of whom were some relatives of yesterday who were walking with the old man!

"Master, no, just for the sake of such a kid, why take risks?!" said a middle-aged woman who was already a little bloated. However, the old man shook his head very stubbornly, and looked at the sky with his eyes tightly.

"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more. There was no hesitation in the old man's eyes, and there was no joy or sadness on his face, "Little brother, when will you leave?!"

Tian was stunned, this old man was really strange, he clearly didn't promise him, he was talking to himself all along, but now he is anti-guest. At this moment, Tianwai finally confirmed that the old man had a mind. I just don't know which side he's from! Morun, Sunset, Purple Mania, or Hua Tian!

"That's it, if you want to go so much, go with you, but okay, I won't take care of you!" This old man doesn't have any strength, if he really wants to meet someone from the Di family at that time, he can still leave if he can't beat him alone, but if he still has to take care of the old man, I'm afraid he won't be able to!

"Little brother, don't worry, the old man is not as fragile as you think, hahahaha......" The old man laughed loudly, and immediately walked in front of Tian Weeping, "The old man has a surname and a single name!

"My surname is Han, and my single name is a rubbing!"

"Han Tuo, good name. I don't know how much better than the old man......" The old man said with emotion, as if describing his name had already determined his direction!

The eyes of the people behind him who looked at the old man were full of doubts and reluctance. It is true that when the old man can't even travel too fast in a carriage to a place like Panshui City, how can he go to Yaoguang Mountain with Tianwee? This is undoubtedly a way to kill himself!

But the old man was still a smiling follower, and he didn't show the slightest worry because of the danger and horror ahead.

In the end, Tianwai and the old man still left the inn under the reluctant gaze of everyone!

On the street outside, the pedestrians discussed nothing more than those trivial things, the only thing that can be regarded as a big thing, is the carriage at the end of yesterday's public loss, speaking of which, the Panshui Inn at the head of the city is also stained with the light of this noble man, and he has made a lot of money!

Or just talk about something about horse thieves. Although the horse thieves who attacked the horse village before have been slaughtered by Sky Cry, after all, there is more than that horse thief force around here, although this water city is dilapidated, not even comparable to some large villages, but after all, he is a city with his own troops. Once the horse thieves attack, they will be able to resist when the time comes. Therefore, the people here live without worry.

"Han Tuo, what are you going to do in Yaoguang Mountain?" Gong Yi asked at the end of the day, he wanted to know this question yesterday, but he never asked, and now that Tianqi has promised him to go with him, he must naturally not answer him vaguely.

"Mr. Gongyi, how much do you know about Yao Guangshan?"

Gong showed an embarrassed look at the end of the loss, shook his head and said: "I only know that this Yaoguang Mountain is between the two countries, my father doesn't love my mother, and I don't know the rest." ”

Tian Wai nodded, this is more in line with his identity, if he even knows everything about Yao Guangshan, Tian Wai is really worried that there will be no bones left that will be eaten by this old man all the way!
