120 small towns are fragrant

After Li Banxia went down the mountain, he bought some rations and drove his horse straight to the next town, Yancheng.

With laughter and sorrow as the strength of his feet, Li Banxia's speed was indeed much faster, and in less than half a day, he came to the pleasant Zhonghe Town.

The town is best known for its variety of famous snacks.

For example, dried honey tofu, pine nut sugar, rose melon seeds, fried steamed buns, steamed crispy with sugar, plum blossom cakes, and japonica porridge taste very delicious.

The most famous is the middle river whitebait. The shape of the whitebait resembles a hosta, the color is like ivory, the cartilage is scaleless, the meat is delicate, the taste is delicious, and the nutrition is rich.

As far as Li Banxia knows, whitebait contains protein, fat, iron, riboflavin, calcium, phosphorus and other components, and has extremely high nutritional value. In addition, whitebait can be fried, fried, steamed, and made into soup. In many delicious dishes, you can see whitebait.

Li Banxia walked to this Zhonghe town, and the whole person couldn't walk. It's not just her, Xiaochou is the first to stay where she is and don't want to leave. If Li Banxia forcibly dragged it away, it rubbed her legs, as if it wanted to be coquettish with it.

After driving for such a long time, it is time to rest, even if people do not rest, horses must rest. My sister and Mo Dangjia gave her their beloved mount, but they didn't come to let it be abused by her.

Well, let her treat the pony's belly first!

looked around, found a nearby and good shop, and Li Banxia led the horse and walked over.

Let Xiao Er pull the horse to the back to feed and drink, and sit in the lobby in front of him to eat a little. When Li Banxia first arrived here, she didn't know what was delicious, so she asked Xiao Er to pick something fashionable for her.

Xiao Er gave her a few of the best dim sum snacks sold in the store, and Li Banxia praised it for being delicious. Just when she was going down the mountain, her sister gave her a lot of coils, and the silver on her body was not nervous. Touching such an appetite, Li Banxia was also very kind to himself and let himself have a full meal.

It is said that after so many days of rushing outside, except for the two days in the cottage, this is the most enjoyable time for Li Banxia.

Before going out, she didn't forget to ask Xiao Er to wrap some more snacks she had just eaten, so that she could take them with her on the road. Rubbing his swollen belly, Li Banxia couldn't even get on the horse.

If you have eaten a full meal, you can ride a horse, and this body can not bear it. So, Li Banxia led the horse and walked slowly in this Zhonghe town, inquiring about the situation in the border city by the way.

The fighting continues on the border city. The two sides are in a stalemate at this time, but there is a possibility that the fight will continue at any time.

There is also an old doctor who is said to have just returned from the border city: The enemy army may make big moves in the near future, and the reason why it has been settled for such a period of time. is to wait for a big man to come and replace the current general to preside over the overall situation. Now commanding the enemy army is the great general Hikaru Kanano, who was known for his iron and bloody skills during his tenure and was known as the "Iron Blooded General".

What intimidated his opponents the most was not his military prowess or his far-sighted strategic vision, but his brutal treatment of his enemies and captives.

His iron riders went everywhere. Most of them were rivers of blood, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Every time you conquer a city, the first thing you have to do is to slaughter the city, and the second thing you have to do is to count your belongings and enrich your "harem".

His approach has long been met with resentment and anger from all nations. It's just that he is the brother-in-law of the reigning ruler, and his sister is the favorite concubine of His Majesty in another country, and his sister helps with good words. He naturally enjoyed the benevolence of high-ranking officials and the blessing of authority.

The reason for the temporary change of generals this time was the replacement of the iron-blooded general Jin Yeguang, and it was impossible to guess what His Majesty the Emperor meant for a while. If you can't find a reason, your credibility is greatly reduced.

So far, this matter has only been rumored by the rumors, and there is no definite news yet.

Li Banxia paid close attention to the movements and situation in the border city. It doesn't mean that she doesn't pay attention to other things, especially if this matter is related to whether her next road is safe.

Outside in a tea house. Li Banxia was leading the horse past, and was listening to a few people mysteriously gathering together to talk about a strange thing that had happened in the town recently.

said that there were often disappearances of the eldest girl in this town recently, and the Miss Zhang family in the south of the city took the maid to watch the temple fair the day before yesterday and never went back. The maid's whereabouts are also unknown, but Master Zhang's family is in a hurry. There is also a girl from the Li family in the west of the city, who went out to wash clothes in the morning, and no one came back to cook at noon. Old man Li rushed to the lotus pond to look for it, and found a poured out wooden barrel for clothes, how could he see his girl?

There are many, what Miss Cui, Miss Wang, Zhao Yatou, and many, many daughters have disappeared one after another. These family members all went to the county yamen to complain and asked the county magistrate to find their daughter back, but half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and a lot of money has been spent, but the girl has not even seen a shadow.

This county commander is a master who only asks for money and does not do things, his ability is mediocre, he is confused, and he naps in the hall just for a moment. If you wake him up and don't give you a chance to cry out, you'll be beaten first. The county magistrate is an official, they are the people, how dare the grass people follow the officials? Everyone dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, and did not dare to speak up.

But the disappearance of his daughter is a big deal, no matter how confused the old man is, if he wants to find someone, he still has to rely on the power of his yamen. So several families were together, pooled the money, and picked up some silver and sent it to the eldest master. Who knows, he accepted the money with a smile, and nothing was done.

Just two days ago, Old Man Li ran to the yamen and cried, almost crashing to death in the lobby. The eldest lord had a tiger face, and let people beat him up, and dragged him to the prison, I don't know if he is alive or dead at this time.

Ay! The common people are such a confused official, and they have a hard time~~

The old scholar who listened to the conversation in the crowd shook his head while sighing, and Li Banxia was also silent.

Although I have long heard that such things often happened in ancient times, it is still terrifying to listen to it so sincerely.

The strict hierarchy in this era always makes people extremely powerless, although Li Banxia is very sympathetic to their plight and wants to help them, but he is also helpless.

He led his horse on the road, and as he walked out of the town and passed through a mountainous area, he saw the twilight darkness filling the ground.

Li Banxia, who rarely knew what he was afraid of along the way, still shuddered when he remembered the disappearance of those girls.

It was at this time that such a sentence suddenly popped into my mind: How dangerous it is to walk at night, hurry up and take the morning journey-
