Chapter 14 Determination The Fourth Update
Cheng Yue naturally wouldn't chase after him, looking at the figures of the routs quickly disappearing into the night and the forest, he let out a long breath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, the corpses on the ground, including Cao Tianshou, who still had a breath, suddenly flashed blood, turned into a blood mist, and floated into the small tower where Cheng Yue hung on his waist.
Cheng Yue stared at the small tower for a long time, and realized: "Have they all become your food?"
When he fought with Li Qingjiao, something similar happened, and Li Qingjiao's severed arms and legs were also the same as at this time, turning into blood mist and floating into the small tower.
"You're really picky, you only eat people, never beasts and monsters. Remembering that there had been no similar situation when hunting monsters and beasts recently, Cheng Yue's expression became a little strange.
Other than that, there were no other anomalies in the small tower.
Cheng Yue didn't pay attention to the small tower for a long time, and after resting in place for a while, he summoned the three snatchers who had escaped into the nearby woods in disguise.
The three snatchers stood in front of Cheng Yue in a proper manner, no different from their loyal subordinates.
Cheng Yue touched his chin and looked at the flesh they had taken, and quickly dispelled the idea of letting them disperse at this time.
"Maybe these three bodies can be of some use. ”
Cheng Yue thought about it, and let the three snatchers continue to occupy the bodies of the three sentinels and follow behind him.
Before leaving the military village, Cheng Yue found a relatively clean military uniform in the unlit tent to replace the bloody clothes on his body, and found a relatively complete Snow Country military flag, and wrote the words "Cheng Yue, the Breaker" on it with the blood of the enemy, and then left with a swagger.
"You guys, everything is fine, it's just that your IQ is a little low, and you even burned the military tent for the grain, otherwise I don't need to go to the villages and towns to find salt!" Cheng Yue walked along the official road to the nearest village and town, and complained to the snatchers behind him, but no matter how you look at it, his tone and demeanor are a bit cheap.
The three snatchers had stiff expressions and followed with wooden expressions, but they didn't say a word.
Cheng Yue glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and pursed his lips rather boredly.
……
There was nothing to say all the way, and the next morning, Cheng Yue came to a small village.
This small village is located in the northeast of Yuyang, separated from Weishui by the entire city of Yuyang, so it was not harmed by the Qin army a while ago, and the villagers are still living a peaceful life of sunrise and sunset.
Seeing Cheng Yue and others wearing military uniforms, the villagers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly called the village chief out.
Cheng Yue hated the dog officials who relied on power to oppress good people, so he was very kind when communicating with the villagers, which made the villagers feel a little flattered.
Feeling the benefits brought by the military uniform, Cheng Yue couldn't cry or laugh, and repeatedly explained to the village chief that he only wanted fair trade, but the village chief was like a timid rabbit, saying that he would not accept Cheng Yue's money.
Cheng Yue was helpless, and in the end, he almost used force to force the village chief to accept the silver taels carried by the three sentinels, which could be regarded as completing the transaction.
After getting the salt and various condiments he wanted, Cheng Yue didn't dare to stay in this village for long, and after saying goodbye to the villagers in a few words, he found a place where no one was around, and stuffed a whole sack of salt and spices into the small tower.
Next, Cheng Yue did not rush back to Yushan, but continued to follow the official road to the northeast with three followers.
It's not that Cheng Yue wants to die, but he didn't just come for salt and various spices on this trip, the cauldron looted from Dong Village is no longer enough for him to cultivate, and he has to get a professional props such as a furnace to go back.
Speaking of furnaces, naturally only in wealthy families and temples.
Yuyang is close to the border, and the wealthy family is not interested in settling here, so Cheng Yue can only go to the temple to do it.
said that it was to do it, but it was actually similar to robbing, because it was impossible for either a monk or a Taoist priest to sell his own Dan furnace or medicine tripod to him, and Cheng Yue didn't have so much money to buy it, if he didn't be a thief, he was destined to not get it!
No, Cheng Yue is already a notorious wanted criminal at this time, he doesn't itch if he has more lice, he doesn't worry if he has more debts, and he doesn't care so much......
With his memory, Cheng Yue hurried all the way with the three snatching ghosts, and came to a county seat with a Taoist grand view in the afternoon of the next day.
This county is called Yi County, it is the fief of the Yihou of the Snow Country, with a population of seventy or eighty thousand, not too much, not too little, the city is so-so, it is considered to have a certain defensive power, but it is still far from the important town of Yuyang.
At this time, not long after the meal, the boss's sun was still hanging on the zenith, and there were many people lining up on the official road outside the city, waiting to enter the city.
The autumn tiger was fierce, and in order to enjoy the coolness, the pedestrians and merchants all rested in the tea shops outside the city, and only let their men and servants watch the loaded carriage outside.
Cheng Yue didn't want to attract attention, so he didn't enter these public places, but lined up behind the long queue with three snatchers.
In broad daylight, the ghosts were very weak, and their already very unnatural expressions became even more stiff and dull, Cheng Yue was afraid of any accidents, so he just looked at them nervously.
Fortunately, the sun was fierce, and people were listless, and no one paid attention to these four soldiers.
Cheng Yue's heart was at ease, and he immediately noticed a disgusting stench wafting in front of the queue, he frowned, and asked the shop guy who was dozing off in a big car in front of him.
The guy was a chatterbox, drowsy from the sun, and when he was bored, he saw someone talking, and immediately began to talk endlessly.
After the narration of the chatter, Cheng Yue not only knew the origin of this stench, but also knew how big an incident happened around Yuyang during the days when his family was avoiding disasters in Yushan!
"The envoy of the town guard of Yuyang sent a large army to search the mountain, but it was taken by the Qin army and burned the grain fields? The villages along the river were also looted, and many people died tragically at the hands of the Qin army." Cheng Yue's surprised mouth couldn't close.
The guy looked at him like an alien: "Little brother, you are a soldier, right? You don't know such a big thing?"
Cheng Yue laughed dryly, hiding his embarrassment: "Brother, I was sent by my boss to go on a business trip two months ago, and I only recently returned. ”
"Is that so?" The guy looked at Cheng Yue suspiciously, if it weren't for the fact that this young man was wearing a military uniform and followed by three soldiers, he would have suspected that this young man was the murderer who killed the little marquis of the Zhou family!
Cheng Yue didn't know that his own details were almost seen through, and when he saw that the guy was suspicious, he was afraid that he would have a long night and many dreams, so he hurriedly changed the topic, pointed to the stench convoy in front of him and said: "It stinks! That is the convoy that Zhou Jieshuai sent to Pingjing to watch Gong? It is loaded with the head of the Qin army, right? Didn't you hear that the battle didn't start? How could there be so many gains?"
When the man heard him mention this, he immediately forgot about the stubble just now, a sarcastic smile appeared on his freckled face, and he whispered: "What is the head of the Qin army? It was the head of the people killed in that battle, and he pulled it back into a crooked bun according to the appearance of the Qin people, and then cut it off as the head of the Qin army, hoping to use it to fool the king Lao Tzu in the capital!"
Cheng Yue was shocked, and immediately became furious, and his whole body trembled with anger: "Has Zhou Bolong lost his conscience? Not to mention the false defeat to victory, but also insulting the remains of the dead people, all the officials in Yuyang let him be so nonsense?!"
The guy looked at him with some pity, and the sarcasm in his smile became even stronger: "The officials of Yuyang, who have suffered such a big loss in the hands of the Qin army, if they let the higher authorities know, they will inevitably be deprived of their posts and questioned, and they will finally get into the position of this person's master, how can they be willing to be taken down? It's just some corpses of the people, and the insult is insulting, what loss is there for them? As long as they can keep their official positions!" Moreover, with Zhou Bolong, a powerful relative, on top of it, even if the king finally finds out that something is fake, most of them will pinch his nose and admit it, and he will not punish them at all!" Speaking of this, a cynical expression appeared on the young face of the guy: "In this world, that's it, the powerful protect each other, and the people are as cheap as grass, as long as they don't touch the fundamental interests of the emperors and kings, even if the dignitaries lose their conscience, no one cares!"
Cheng Yue clenched his fists tightly, and the anger in his chest surged: "This bullshit world, I will overturn it one day sooner or later!"
"What did you say?!" Cheng Yue's voice was small, and the guy didn't hear clearly.
Seeing the guy asking, Cheng Yue hurriedly pressed down the anger in his chest and replied with a smile: "I'm saying that sooner or later I will get ahead one day, so that the dog officials can no longer press my head." ”
Hearing this, the guy looked at the military uniform on his body, and smiled a little teasingly: "So your ambition is to become a new dog officer?"
"No!" Cheng Yue shook his head resolutely, his eyes were firm, and his tone was sonorous:
"Absolutely not!"
After that, Cheng Yue didn't waste words with his buddies anymore, turned around and walked back to the three snatchers.
"Hey! what a weirdo!" the guy looked at Cheng Yue's back and pouted, and dozed off with his head hanging again.
