Chapter 81: Gaohu Village
This time, it was Qiushu's order to rush to Shengyan County lightly, and all the captives, including Toad Face, were escorted to Qiujing City by Huang Wanli.
As for what exactly to do when he arrived in Shengyan County, Qiu Shu did not elaborate.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
This time, only Qiu Shu was in the carriage, and the rest of the people, except for Huang Wanli and Lou Yanxin, were all on horseback, while Chen Yanwu and Chen Yanfei, the brothers and sisters, received Qiu Shu's order and returned to Qiujing City first with those who escorted the captives.
Sheng Ash is no exception, when a horse is distributed, in fact, many people are waiting to see Sheng Ash's joke, Guy, among the three northern kingdoms, the horses of the Qiushui Country are the most intense, and for strangers who are on their backs for the first time, there is almost no one who does not turn over on their backs.
Especially for a mortal slave, there is never an exception.
What's more, this horse, with the tacit approval of General Huang, is the most fierce in the team, of course, it is also the most handsome and tall one, and it was the favorite horse of the pawn leader who stayed in the holy county, but Huang Wanli said a word, and he was transferred to the military, and finally it was given to Sheng Ash.
The horse's hair is brownish-yellow, but under the sun, it is slightly red, and the head of the pawn gave it a name, called "Rouge", on weekdays, it is in the mouth for fear of melting, holding it in the hand for fear of falling, how can you let others touch it.
But although he likes it very much, in fact, every time he goes out, he is quite relieved about Rouge, Guy, even if he is willing to let people touch it, no one can approach it, let alone get on its back.
Under normal circumstances, it is a slight approach, the rouge will sound a nose warning, if it is close to a certain distance, then be ready to eat it at any time.
Lost the rouge, what the mood of the pawn leader, no one knows, but I heard that his face was extremely happy, and he personally sent it to the door, and did not accept the replacement money given to him by the Qianfu Army, and finally under the strong request of the soldier, he reluctantly accepted it, but when he left, he specially told that this horse is fierce and easy to hurt people.
After he left, the soldiers who had been begging for a living on horseback all the year round would take his words seriously, but they didn't expect that in the team, except for those who had advanced cultivation and had already entered the martial arts, there was no one in the team who could tame rouge.
Including Yang Xiangle, who is known as the closest to Wu Tong, is the same, he was still overturned to the ground.
So when Huang Wanli decided to distribute the rouge to Sheng Ash, although these guys in the fifth regiment were obviously sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, but they still loved horses like their lives, no one objected, but they were looking forward to it with a mentality of waiting to see a good show.
Before the team set off from the Holy County City, Sheng Shen only knew about it, and there were not many people on the side at that time, only Yang Xiangle, Xu Guanglin, Zhang Shun and other team leaders who heard the news were here, and their respective teams were all named by Huang Wanli to follow to Shengyan County this time.
Zhang Shun once gave Sheng Ash a look, but Sheng Gray didn't understand what it meant at all, he was actually a little puzzled in his heart, he remembered that this General Huang who rode Baixi seemed to have a very bad impression of him, why would he give him a horse, if it was for transportation, he didn't have to look so handsome, it was even better than those mounts above the captain of the Wutong Realm, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was second only to Baixi.
What made him most vigilant was that the captains, all looking at him, were also full of schadenfreude.
Sheng Shen took the rouge and flew on the horse, and the whole movement was extremely smooth, like a person who rides a horse all year round.
This made those who watched, one by one, their mouths wide open, and the jokes they expected not only did not appear, but Rouge was always as if he had met his destiny master, and he didn't even snort, and his meekness was really incomprehensible to them.
Especially after Sheng Gray rode up, let it east, let it go east, let it west, let it west, let it jump, it really jumped over a horizontal stake, this kind of riding, where can a seven or eight-year-old boy have?
Seeing that Sheng Ash was also full of confusion and vigilance and rode away the rouge, Zhang Shun clearly remembered that General Huang, who had been hiding on the second floor, directly dropped his favorite purple teapot.
Today's Sheng Ash is moving forward with the team, and I don't know what Qiu Shu thinks, Lou Yanxin is opening the road in front, and in the back, Sheng Shen is riding on rouge behind the break.
Sheng Shen didn't have any objection to this, he rode on the rouge, and with the rouge's running, his body was rising and falling rhythmically, and others were watching around, vigilant at the same time, but also admiring the autumn water country in the early winter.
And he was thinking about one thing.
Half a day ago, Li Xinzhu told him through the soul sound the thing he wanted to know.
This matter has passed through the mouth of Mrs. Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan, and Granny Liu, and the three of them have almost the same caliber, so it should be true.
The baby boy was born, and there was no black gas, this Granny Liu said it most clearly, that black gas was inexplicably extra after the child was taken out, and when Granny Liu held it, there was still none, and it was not until Wang Yuan hugged it that there were all kinds of visions.
In this way, this demonic qi should be lurking in Mrs. Wang Yuan's room, and finally chose the newborn baby with almost no resistance as the object of possession.
So the question is, where does this demonic energy come from?
It's a pity that no one can talk about this critical issue, whether it is Mrs. Wang Yuan, or Wang Yuan, or Granny Liu.
Despite this, Sheng Shen still didn't know how Li Xinzhu, who set off with the team, did this.
He didn't ask, he felt that there were some things, as long as Li Xinzhu could do it, just let Li Xinzhu do it, he managed too much, but it was not beautiful, especially, if he didn't understand it at all, maybe it would backfire.
There is no eyebrow on this matter for the time being, and there is also no specific information about why the Lord Xuanyu is so interested in that family surnamed Zhou, and there is no specific information about the file of that family, whether it is in the county guard mansion or the yamen handling the case.
In this case, it seems that for many years, there are no relevant people with the surname Zhou to live in Liusheng County, and then the file was cancelled by the county guard.
This makes Li Xinzhu even more puzzling, and in the same way, Sheng Shen naturally can't think of anything, for this matter, his order to Li Xinzhu is to go with the flow and don't deliberately investigate.
The time was close to noon, and God didn't know what was wrong with the three days, and no one had seen the sun for a day, and it was gloomy, as if it was going to rain or even snow at any time.
The team in front suddenly stopped, and when Sheng Ash caught up, he found that it was different from what he thought, he thought he was going to set up camp, but it turned out that it was not, but a small village appeared in front of him, covered on a high ground, and it didn't look big, and it was estimated that there would be less than a hundred households.
In the past three days, I have encountered such a small village on the road, Sheng Shen is no longer surprised, this kind of opportunity is usually relatively rare, and I have encountered one in three days, this is the second, when encountering this kind of opportunity, the team must grasp it to replenish, even if it is from Liusheng County, it has brought enough dry food to reach Shengyan County.
Sheng Shen rode his horse slowly, according to the experience of the last time, ahead, Lou Yanxin should have taken a few female flame guards to the village.
As expected, it didn't take long for Sheng Shen to see Lou Yanxin coming out of the village with several female flame guards, but her brows were completely furrowed, and her expression was quite angry and a little nervous, as if she had encountered something unbearable for her.
In front of Qiushu's carriage, Lou Yanxin was reporting, but I don't know why, this time it took a long time, Qiushu didn't get out of the carriage, but Lord Xuanyu got out of the carriage and went straight to the village.
Soon after, she returned, and Sheng Ash noticed that the Jade Lord glanced at him as he entered the carriage.
He didn't know what Lord Xuanyu meant by this glance, and it was possible that he didn't mean anything, but he missed her as soon as he was free, right?
It didn't take long for the team to start again in such a stinky and beautiful state, but this time, it was a detour from the bottom of that high ground, and Sheng Shen could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the team was a little tense, especially the female flame guards around Qiushu's carriage, all of them looked like they were facing a great enemy.
The team marched in front, but Sheng Shen did not hurry to follow, he wanted to break the back, theoretically, it was necessary to maintain a certain distance from the team.
When the team advanced along the path that circled high underground to the point where it was no longer visible, Sheng Shen slowly put on the rouge, intending to follow.
But as soon as he reached the bottom of the high ground, at the turn of the road, Sheng Shen frowned.
Bloody gas.
A very thick bloody gas, wafting from the direction of the heights.
Sheng Shen looked ahead, Qiu Shu's team was gone, he thought about it, turned his horse's head, and went up the high ground along the road.
After arriving at the entrance of the village, the appearance of the village was presented in front of his eyes.
This village, take a look, you can see it all, there is a memorial arch at the entrance of the village, there are three words of Gaohu Village written on it, behind the archway is a road, on both sides of the avenue is a row of houses, all are made of thatch, at the end of the road, is the only wooden house in the village, the position of the ash can be seen, in the wooden house, there are rows of spiritual seats, in front of the spiritual position is a table of eight immortals, there are three incense burners on it, and there are three incense sticks in it.
