Chapter Seventy-Two: Parting Ways
The canyon gradually darkened, and the stone steward calmed the emotions of everyone in the caravan a little, and the convoy set off again.
This time, there were no twists and turns on the road, and the convoy passed through the Danshan Grand Canyon smoothly and entered the county boundary of Danshan County.
Halfway through, the "Cloud Turning Sword" Tengyun, who had been knocked out by the raging waves, woke up slowly.
After learning that the weapon he regarded as his life, the "Cloud Turning Sword", was used by the wild waves to pay off his debts, Tengyun was almost fainted.
After the two brothers talked, Teng Yun also learned from the mouth of the wild wave that he didn't know what kind of nerves he had, and suddenly stabbed the wild wave.
He knew that he couldn't live up to his brother, so he didn't offer to take back his "Cloud Turning Sword", but just sat on the wheel and sulked.
And even if he wants to take it, he can't beat that "Zhou Yuan".
Instead, the wild waves comforted him on the side, "Wouldn't there be a fist without a sword?" You can change the name to "Cloud Turning Fist" Tengyun first, and then change it back when you have a new sword.
......
Soon, the caravan arrived at the north gate of Danshan County.
This is a black Xiongguan, looking at it from a distance, like a continuous mountain, it is several times higher than the city walls of Yanxia County and Linshan City, and it is also much wider, and it is easy to give people a sense of security.
Outside the North Gate.
A group of sword-wielding robes dressed in scaly black robes were standing in a neat row, their eyes all looking north, as if they were waiting for something.
"Squeak~"
The carriage stopped thirty zhang away from the north city gate, and the sound of the waves came from outside the carriage, "Brother Tai, Danshan County has arrived, our two brothers should go." ”
"Eh, don't worry," Zhao Ting lowered his head when he heard this, and jumped out of the carriage, jumping to the ground, "Someone will come and take you away later." ”
"Take us away?" Wild Waves was stunned, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"You swore before, saying that you would let us go when you arrived in Danshan County, you don't want to break your oath, right?"
Zhao Ting shook his head and said without thinking, "How come?"
Wild Waves breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but heard Zhao Ting continue to speak, "I said to let you go, but I didn't say let you go by yourself, I mean, after you arrive in Danshan County, people from the imperial court will come to take you away." ”
“......”
The faces of Wild Waves and Tengyun suddenly darkened, and they were about to burst out, but Zhao Ting's hands were already on their shoulders like dragonflies.
The two of them suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave, their bodies were cold, and even a layer of white gas came out of their teeth.
At this time, I couldn't even move.
At this time, the group of catchers outside the north gate of Danshan County had also trotted over quickly, and the black-faced middle-aged catcher in the lead took two yellow paper portraits and compared them with the wild waves and Tengyun on the wheel, and then coldly ordered, "Take it!"
"Yes!"
The vicious hunters behind him, like tigers and wolves, pounced on him, grabbed the hands and feet of the wild waves and the clouds, and put special heavy shackles on them, and dragged them towards the city.
Wild waves struggled while twisting their bodies and scolding, "Zhou Yuan, you don't want to die!"
"Did you give birth to a son, your buttocks are sores and the soles of your feet are pus, you don't talk ......"
"Zhou Yuan, are you dead......
"Uh-huh......"
Maybe it was because the two brothers who caught the fast waves and Tengyun were too noisy, and out of nowhere they found two yellowed footcloths and stuffed them in their mouths, and their voices suddenly became quieter.
Seeing that the two of them were stunned, their faces full of despair and resentment, Zhao Ting shrugged his shoulders and muttered in a low voice, "Is Zhou Yuan dead, what does it have to do with me Zhao Ting?"
"Cough," the black-faced middle-aged man coughed quickly, and asked in a loud voice, "Which one is Zhao Ting Zhao Yishi?"
Zhao Ting in front of him pointed at himself and said, "I am." ”
The black-faced middle-aged catcher glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the righteous man who captured the two brothers of "Covering the Sea and Turning the Clouds" was so young.
After being stunned for a moment, the black-faced middle-aged catcher quickly took out a thick stack of silver tickets from his arms, handed them to Zhao Ting, and said officially, "I am Qin Heng, the chief arrester of the Yamen Torture Room in Danshan County, and this is the court's bounty for the two of them who "covered the sea and turned the clouds". ”
After seeing Zhao Ting accept it, he nodded and continued, "In addition, on behalf of the Yamen of Danshan County, the General Administration of Cangzhou, and the people of Liming in Cangzhou, I would like to express my gratitude to you for your righteous deeds, and thank you for your contribution to maintaining public order and the prosperity and stability of Cangzhou. ”
As he spoke, he threw out a black token to Zhao Ting, explaining, "When you are traveling, you can live in the imperial court's pavilion with this token, this is my personal gratitude to you." ”
"Farewell!"
After distributing the reward, Qin Heng turned his head and left, his pace was fast, and he had entered Danshan County in a blink of an eye.
Only Zhao Ting, who was about to take the silver ticket, stood in place with an embarrassed expression.
He originally thought that Qin Heng was hinting at him by telling him so much, so he planned to take out one of the silver tickets just now as Qin Heng's hard work, after all, he was not a person who did not understand the world.
It's just that he didn't expect that Qin Heng didn't mean this at all, but he thought about others a little dirty.
"Let's go, let's go into town. ”
......
......
Since the two brothers were handed over to justice, there have never been any twists and turns along the way.
In the blink of an eye, a week later, the Fuyun caravan arrived at its final destination, Meiling County, Yanzhou.
Zhao Ting, Wang Junwei and their respective servants were going to continue to Jiangzhou by water, so everyone parted ways.
......
On the vast Canglan River, a light boat floated off.
Zhao Ting stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the fog on the river, silent, as if in contemplation.
Wang Junwei didn't know when he had walked out of the cabin and came behind him, also staring at the river view.
"Boatman, where are you?" Zhao Ting asked in a loud voice.
The middle-aged boatman at the end of the cabin heard the sound and replied, "It's almost time to Hengling County." ”
Zhao Ting's expression moved, looked at Wang Junwei and said, "Cousin, I still have something to do, and I will go to Hengling County later." When the ship arrives at the dock, you and I will be separated. ”
"You take the first step, I will leave for Jiangzhou as soon as I finish my work, and I will not miss the time to go to school. ”
Hearing him say that there was something, Wang Junwei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Cousin, are you going to kill demons and subdue demons?" Take me with you, maybe I can help you." ”
"It's not a demon slayer," Zhao Ting shook his head, "I'm just looking for medicine, and it's not beautiful to bring more people, so you should honestly go to Jiangzhou first." ”
"Okay, then let's see you in Jiangzhou Mansion. ”
