With a familiar burst of vertigo, Zhou Ning cautiously poked his head out and found that he was still in the woods that he had crossed back to before. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, it is early autumn, and the withered yellow fallen leaves are falling down, spreading a layer of yellow yarn on the ground. The heavy rain that had fallen since the night before began to fall again at some point, and the fog was vast in all directions, and only the sound of Xiao Xiaoyu was heard in my ears.

Zhou Ning wiped the rain from his face a little embarrassed and hid under a big tree to avoid the rain.

"Is this the destructive power of the Immortal Seal?"

Zhou Ning's gaze swept over a huge pit not far away, and he couldn't help but gasp.

I saw that this big pit seemed to have been burned by smoke and fire, it was pitch black, and there were a few pieces of frost hanging at the bottom of the pit, which was indescribably weird, which was the trace of Shi Zhixuan's trick "Immortal Seal Method".

Zhou Ning's heart was slightly cold, and he took his gaze back from the pit and cast it into the distance.

In front is an official road, which is divided into two roads, one leads directly to the victory mountain thirty miles west of Yangzhou City, and the other is the thoroughfare of the three provinces, linking the north and south, and there are many natural pedestrians.

Standing under the big tree for a while, this rain was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no tendency to stop at all, Zhou Ning gradually became impatient in his heart, rushed out in the rain, and ran to the tea shed not far from the opposite side of the road.

As soon as I rushed into the tea shed, I couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the tea shed was full of people, most of these people were in rags, their faces were full of wind and dust, and they were shivering from the cold, as if they had traveled thousands of miles.

Zhou Ning looked strange, took out the money from his arms, bought a hat from the store, and asked, "Where did these people come from?" ”

"Isn't it because of the military disaster?" The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "Not long ago, Xiang Yu, a Chu person, raised his flag and joined forces with Du Fuwei, Li Zitong and others, and the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang suffered from military disasters, and these people came from Hangzhou. ”

"Xiang Yu?" Zhou Ning couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that Xiang Yu, the unparalleled overlord of a certain god, had also entered this world, but he didn't know what his martial arts were?

There is the overlord Xiang Yu raising the flag in the east, and the strong Qin covets the treasure in the west, it seems that the Emperor Yang of Sui in this world is much worse than in history.

At the moment, he took out his money bag and bought a bowl of ginger tea for the refugees who were shivering in the tea shed to warm their bodies.

"Thank you, childe......"

"Thank you."

Smiling at the group of refugees, Zhou Ning put on a coat and hat, and rushed to the city gate in the rain.

At this moment, he heard countless footsteps, coming from the official road in the distance, but listening to the sound, the footsteps were vain, and he didn't look like a family who had practiced martial arts.

Looking up, I saw a large group of ragged people fleeing with their children and daughters on the official road in the distance, and the heavy rain was pouring down, and everyone was extremely embarrassed.

These are all ...... Refugee?

In Zhou Ning's heart, these two words suddenly jumped out. It seems that Xiang Yu's side is really quite powerful!

……

Zhou Ning followed the flow of people and squeezed towards the gate of Yangzhou.

As in the past, when the gates were opened, caravans rushed in and out of the gates.

However, today's atmosphere is a little strange, there are a large number of officers and soldiers inside and outside the city, and the inspection of customs clearance is much stricter, and a long queue has formed at the city gate, waiting to be interrogated.

As for the group of refugees, they were naturally closed.

The cries of the refugees sounded in his ears, Zhou Ning hardened his heart, sighed, straightened his clothes, and hurriedly walked to the south city gate.

Fortunately, it was still the Sui and Tang dynasties at this time, and there was no need to guide the way to enter and exit the city gate, otherwise Zhou Ning could only sit on wax and wait until midnight to jump into the city from the city.

At this moment, they are using a document called a pass, which is only required to be presented when passing through the land and water barriers.

After about half an hour, it was Zhou Ning's turn to enter the city.

The city gate official guarding the city was a young man with a beard, he glanced at Zhou Ning, and asked coldly, "Hometown, name?" ”

"Yangzhou, Zhou Ning."

The city gate official glanced at Zhou Ning, his tone slowed down, and he was surprised: "But that Zhou Ning Zhou Zhongdao who 'lists candles in the high hall on New Year's Eve, and sings a glass of wine'?" ”

Zhou Ning secretly screamed ashamed and nodded.

The city gate official smiled and said: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhou, my name is Lu Xiangsheng, and I am a disciple of your uncle Mr. Qingchen, and I have had a relationship before." ”

At that moment, he ordered the guards to let go of the city gate, and said with a smile: "If the master knew that Senior Brother Zhou had such a talent, he would definitely be very pleased." ”

Lu Xiangsheng ...... is another celebrity, such a powerful person, actually being a city gate official in Yangzhou, Zhou Ning was no longer able to complain, he gave a deep salute to Lu Xiangsheng, and walked into the city gate with the flow of people.

There are four gates in Yangzhou City, among which the south gate facing the Yangtze River is the most prosperous. Despite the heavy rain at the moment, there is still an endless stream of pedestrians. From time to time, horse-drawn carriages drove by, splashing muddy water.

As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhou Ning saw Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling standing sneakily at the entrance of a food stall, swallowing saliva, looking at the hot buns in front of them, obviously hungry and panicked.

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "Eight vegetable and meat buns, hello sister-in-law!" ”

The seller of the buns is a rather beautiful woman, presumably, this is the sister-in-law in the mouth of these two boys.

Zhou Ning was angry and funny, bullied his body, and snapped two violent chestnuts on their heads.

The two of them hugged their heads with an "ouch", and were about to open their mouths to scold, Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said happily: "It's the eldest brother!" ”

Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Big brother came just in time, we want to eat eight buns." ”

Zhou Ning shook his head, stepped forward and handed over a small piece of broken silver, and said to his sister-in-law, "Twenty buns, take them away." ”

Sister-in-law Zhen took a bun of copper coins from the drawer and found it for him, and took twenty buns in the steamer, wrapped them in paper, stuffed them into his hands, and whispered: "You are a good man, alas! It's a good thing that these two boys follow you, and look what they do to people. ”

Zhou Ning thanked him and looked at the two, only to see that both of them were beaten and their faces were blue and their lips were swollen, which was not much better than Zhou Xiaopang.

The three of them walked through the streets and alleys, and walked to the bottom of the teahouse opposite, and Zhou Ning reached out and handed the bun to the two.

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong took the buns, cheered, took out a bun from the paper bag, stuffed it into their mouths, and shouted vaguely: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

After the two of them filled their stomachs, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling put their arms on Zhou Ning's shoulders left and right, and sighed: "Fortunately, there is a big brother here, otherwise the two of us will really starve to death this time." ”

Zhou Ning frowned and said, "How can it be so miserable?" Didn't I just give you money the day before yesterday? ”

Kou Zhong sighed: "After we went back that day, we hid the silver coins in the soles of our shoes, but the stinky old man Yan Yan had a wide nose and was more sensitive than a dog, and not only stole the silver coins, but also beat us severely. God must be blind, why can a birdman like Boss Yan eat and drink spicy, but a good person like Sister-in-law Zhen was sold to Stinky Lao Feng as a concubine. ”

"Boss Yan again?" Zhou Ning couldn't help frowning.
