5. Accident (I)
March is the season of spring flowers. Liucheng is not too southern, nor too northern, and is located at the junction of north and south.
To the north, is the Huai River, located on both sides of the Huai River are Huaiyin City and Huaiyang City, and there are some other small cities, and then go over, it is the Imperial City, the northernmost is the territory of the Protoss; to the south, it is Jiangyang City, and then go over, it is the Yangtze River, the Yangtze River Jiangnan in addition to Jiangyin and other seven cities near the river, is the territory of the demon race, the human race, is sandwiched between the demon race and the god race. The demons are in the east of the human race, and they have always been independent, and rarely have intersections with foreign races.
At this time, the weather is not too hot, and naturally it will not feel cold, and the wind and sun are beautiful, which is suitable for going out.
In the morning, street vendors shout at their voices, and occasionally you can see some passers-by who are attracted to stop and take a look, or who are interested in paying for them. Han Yi was also on the street at this time, accompanied by Han Yu and King Zhaoyang, who came to Hanfu yesterday.
"After more than ten years, Liucheng has changed quite a lot. King Zhaoyang walked while talking to Han Yi and Han Yu. This time, he came out originally, he didn't bring a guard, he also faded from yesterday's gorgeous clothes, and he didn't know where to get an inconspicuous dress, and at this time, he changed into it, just like an ordinary person.
Han Yi didn't let Xiao Yun follow, and Han Yu naturally didn't bring a personal maid. However, although King Zhaoyang did not let the guards follow, it did not mean that there were really no guards around. Along the way, Han Yi clearly felt that they were being stared at by many eyes, at first Han Yi thought that it was going to be unfavorable to them, and then he felt that it should be the person who was secretly protecting King Zhaoyang.
Reaching such a height as King Zhaoyang is not that he doesn't want to have guards around him, his life and death are no longer his business alone, it may be related to the life and death of many people, and even more so, it may be related to the survival of the human race.
"When I came to Liucheng, Liucheng was not as prosperous as it is now. King Zhaoyang looked at the various buildings on the street and sighed.
"After all, after so long, there will always be some changes, Liucheng is a small city, and prosperity is not counted. Han Yu responded to King Zhaoyang's words.
"Xiao Yu, don't look down on this small city, although Liucheng is small, it is also very important. King Zhaoyang corrected Han Yu's opinion, "The merchants and trades between the north and the south all have to pass through here. ”
"If it......" King Zhaoyang wanted to say something, but then shook his head again, as if he had thought of something, he froze for a moment and did not continue.
"Lord Wang, what is it?" Han Yu asked when he saw King Zhaoyang stop.
"Oh, it's nothing, it's not an important thing, let's go, let's go ahead and have a look. "King Zhaoyang originally wanted to talk about matters such as the escort of grain and grass if there was a war with the demon clan, but in the end he decided not to talk about it anymore, this is not what he wants to see, and it is not what the human race wants to happen.
King Zhaoyang didn't say anything, Han Yi and Han Yu didn't ask, so they continued to walk around with King Zhaoyang. From time to time, King Zhaoyang also had something he was interested in, so he stopped to touch it, or asked Han Yi and Han Yu when he didn't understand, and Han Yi and Han Yu explained to him. But there are not many people to buy, his status is noble, and these strange gadgets on the streets of the market can't get into his eyes, even if he likes them, he won't buy them. Like and necessary are two different things, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, what should be asked for and what should not be wanted, he is clear. No matter when, every move should be cautious and cautious, and think twice before acting.
Han Yi and Han Yu are both smart people, and they naturally understand these truths, if King Zhaoyang doesn't say that they want it, they will naturally not be stupid enough to make their own decisions and buy them for him.
At noon, Han Yi and Han Yu accompanied King Zhaoyang to eat together and came out of the restaurant. It can be seen that King Zhaoyang is very happy today, and he has been talking and laughing with them all the way, and this is also the case at this time.
"Help. ”
"Help. "Han Yi and the others just came out of the restaurant not long after they heard the sound of someone calling for help.
"Stop, don't run. From time to time, such words also came, and it was the voices of two men.
Han Yi felt that it was nothing, for him, it was none of his business, and it was best to hang it high. But Han Yu didn't think so, after hearing the voice, Han Yi obviously noticed that his body stiffened, and then looked in the direction where the voice came from.
"That street is a vegetable market. Subsequently, Han Yu determined the source of the voice and said the conclusion.
"Go check it out. King Zhaoyang made a decision and walked in the direction where the voice came from, and Han Yi and Han Yu immediately followed. In addition, Han Yi also clearly felt that there were some people coming towards them from different directions, and Han Yi knew that these people were secretly protecting King Zhaoyang.
"How can you take my food and throw it away?"
"Do you know that the woman is a Protoss? ”
"I don't care if it's a god or not, if you throw away my dishes, you will lose money. ”
When Han Yi and the others walked over, there were already a lot of people around, the vegetable market was already a busy market, and as soon as something happened, the people in the vegetable market surrounded them, and most of them were watching the excitement.
Surrounded by a vegetable vendor and two men with knives, and in the distance there was a woman in a white dress, but now her clothes and face were a little dirty, and her hair was also unkempt, and she was squatting on the ground at this time, holding her right leg, which should have been injured, and looked timidly at the two people with knives. Not far from her, there were a few broken cabbages and carrots, which seemed to have been used by the two men with knives to throw her, and the vegetable vendor grabbed one of the knife-wielding men and argued.
"I'm telling you, she's a member of the Protoss, and if you stop me again, you can't afford to have an accident. The man who was being pulled roared loudly, and the other man with the knife frowned, obviously impatient.
"What kind of gods are not gods, I don't understand, our family is all counting on exchanging these vegetables for some silver to support the family, and now they are all broken by you, what do you tell me to do. The vegetable vendor didn't care what they said, and insisted on pulling him to make them pay for it.
"What kind of gods, this is obviously a birthmark on my hand. The woman who was squatting on the ground also opened her mouth, and took the initiative to stretch out her right hand, and there was obviously a strangely shaped mark on the back of the hand.
King Zhaoyang also looked at the woman's hand, and naturally saw the mark as well, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"Lord Wang, how to deal with it?" A guard who was originally in the dark came over and asked for the opinion of King Zhaoyang.
"First go and inform the prefect of Liucheng and ask him to send someone to deal with it. King Zhaoyang immediately made a decision and gave an order to the people around him, "Remember, don't make too much trouble. Subsequently, he added, of course, this sentence refers to himself, his identity is special, and the matter of coming to Liucheng is naturally known to as few people as possible.
That person naturally understood what King Zhaoyang meant, and he didn't stop much at the moment, and went in the direction of the official mansion.
