Chapter 53: A Trip to Tongzhou

Before leaving Weak Water Town, Xiao Chuan went to Qinglong Bridge again, but she just hugged the old locust tree and cried.

Then to the north is Tongzhou, although it is a state, but it is still a little deserted here, I heard that this is the second defense city of Beisai, therefore, people who are afraid of the raging war have gone south, and there are large tracts of fertile land left here as a supply of grain and grass for the front line. Only those who have lived here for generations and are unwilling to leave, or soldiers assigned by the government, work here. In recent years, the strength of Angola has skyrocketed, and there have been few wars in Tongzhou, so the government has paid to hire some poor farmers to come here to open up wasteland.

If there are people, there will be a market, and it will attract all kinds of small traders, or people who used to work in the field will become traders. The governor of Tongzhou was also enlightened, and they organized the local people to build a large road paved with stones in the style of the streets of the southern prefecture and county. The whole Tongzhou also has the appearance of a state.

Walking through the main street of the stone road, you can see the endless fertile fields through a row of trees that separate the main street from the fields. It was not the season of the farm, and there were few people in the fields, except for a few scarecrows dressed in colorful clothes, and although the scarecrows were a little scary, the sparrows seemed to be no longer afraid, and they chirped in flocks, up and down from field to field.

"After Tongzhou, it is Yingtian City, which is the border city of Anguo and the first defense city. "Xiao Chuan seems to know Amagi very well.

"I didn't expect us to be on the border with Angola so soon. "I'm a little excited.

"Sister, don't be too happy. Yingtian City is heavily guarded, and if they know our identity, they will definitely not be able to escape. Moreover, I heard that there have been frequent troop transfers in the Jingfang Defense City in the past two days, and I am afraid that there will be another war. ”

"If you don't go to Yingtian City, is there any other way to Jingguo?"

Xiao Chuan shook his head, "No." ”

"Is there only one exit for the whole North?" I was a little unconvinced.

"Originally, there were three or four gates, but they were all turned into lookouts. Now that the war between Anguo and Jingguo has not subsided, and there is no interchange market, one less city gate is less dangerous. ”

"It seems that we have to get to Jingguo before the war. ”

"Then how is my sister going to get past the city gate?"

A lot of plots of TV series immediately came to mind, and the heroes and heroines in the TV series were all disguised and fooled, "We can dress up in disguise." ”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuan smiled, "Sister, is our dress considered a disguise compared to the nobles in the palace?"

Looking at the whole dress of me and Xiao Chuan, it is already very ordinary, is it possible, let's all dress up as men?

"There may be people up there, we can ask them. ”

"But why should they help us?"

"Let's just say that we ran away from marriage, and that our husband's family is a family, and they are looking for us. In short, let's give it a try, after all, Ying Tiancheng and Tongzhou are closely related, and they may have some other ways that we can't think of. Xiao Chuan looks like a scheming man.

"It's fine. ”

We walked around the fields and sure enough, we found rows and rows of villages. Approaching dusk, every household begins to cook, the smoke is wisps, and the scenery is chic.

The villages in Angola are much the same, but there are a large number of young people, large horse pens and large granaries. These young people are basically soldiers, they and the soldiers of Yingtian City rotate every six months, and the soldiers who are rotated cannot return to their hometowns, so they marry wives and have children here, and their children are destined to guard the northernmost part of the country for the rest of their lives from birth.

The children knew their mission from an early age, and the little boys played games of fight and kill in groups, his fathers taught them martial arts, and the generals from Ying Tiancheng taught them to arrange their troops. The little girls also knew some martial arts, but the general never taught them to arrange their troops. Some of them mingle with the little boys, and some of them learn some farm work at home, after all, their future husband will be away from home for half a year every year, and the whole family needs to be carried by themselves.

When I first entered the village, a group of children rushed out, holding sticks and branches, shouting and surrounding me and Xiao Chuan. Among them came a boy with his waist crossed, he seemed to be older than all the children, and he looked confident and a little proud, not like a thing in the pool.

I only heard him shout: "Who is coming! Dare to break into my Houying Village!"
