Su Wen walked into the inn, and a guy came to greet him into the hall, and saw that the lights inside were brilliant, the tables, chairs and benches were thick and solid, and the decoration was also magnificent. There is a small platform on the inside of the hall, which is probably a platform for singing and storytelling. I asked for an upper room, asked the guy to send the luggage guy upstairs, and ordered a stack of vegetables and asked for a pound of meat and a few eggs. While dealing with nutritious meals, look at the environment. The hall was mostly filled with merchants, scribes, and rangers. Most of them are eating silently, but there is no scene of drinking with people.

I was feeling strange, but I saw a few soap-clothed officials in the middle of the room, and one of the leaders went to the stage, raised his hand to signal everyone to pay attention, and said: "Distinguished guests, the demon beasts have been rampant recently, and the city government has an order, and the city gate will be closed from the day after tomorrow, and it will be restarted when the monsters retreat." If you are in a hurry, please come in and out tomorrow. From the day after tomorrow, carts will not be allowed to enter or leave the city gates. The officers and soldiers scattered on the official road and the post fort and the sons of good families will also withdraw one after another. Please also plan ahead. ”

After saying that, he gave up his hand and led the people away.

This group of merchants was waiting for this news, and when they heard this, they immediately boiled. There are people who arrange for people to prepare carriages and horses, and there are those who are secretly sad, and so on. After arranging his own affairs, a businessman opened his mouth and scolded: "The officials of this Chen State are all clothed and fed, and they all try their best to please the king, but no one solves the worries of the people. It's hard to say whether the monsters will attack the city, so close the city gate now. We don't know that when the city gate is closed, there is no tax to collect, and if we want to get in and out, it will be a larger fee, and we don't know whose pocket the money will go into. ”

"Staying behind to eat the horses is a big expense, and this trip is in vain. Another businessman answered.

"Then how should I, the people of Chen Guo, deal with myself. It was a local merchant who spoke, and he bowed his hand to everyone: "As soon as the gate of this city is closed, the people of the fortress outside the city will not come back, and if they do, they will not know where they live? In the unlikely event that the monsters attack the city, we will not have a chance to escape. ”

At this time, a coquettish voice came from the stairs: "Well said." It was a woman in white who spoke. Su Wen turned his head to look, it was Le Weixuan who met on the small bridge.

Su Wenle was happy, and was thinking. Would you like to say hello?

All the people stood up and saluted the woman.

Le Weixuan walked to the stage while returning the gift, and someone immediately moved a set of tables and chairs.

This girl didn't know it was a storyteller.... Or is it still blowing, playing and singing? There is still such a craft? It's a pity that there are more acquaintances. Looking at this meeting, everyone here knows her? Alas....... Su Wen let out a long sigh and lost his appetite for the dishes on the table.

I was about to go back to the room, but I saw the woman take a sip of tea and moisten her throat, coughed and said, "I think our Chen Kingdom does not have the worry of attacking the city like the demon beasts of the Six Kingdoms." The trade routes are busy, and there are few disasters, which should be getting richer and stronger. It is a pity that there are so many taxes that many people can't even pay the city gate tax, so they live in the wilderness with beacons, and even set up their own villages. Nearly half of the people did not have the financial resources to live in the city, and the forts outside the city were only maintained by the people in the walls. Above the court, the emphasis is on literature and light on military force, and the armament is lax, and the disadvantages have been accumulated for a long time. In the corrupt officialdom, there are too many people who hide misfortunes, too many people who form parties for personal gain, too many people who hide knives in their laughter, and even more people who are drunk and obsessed with money. This official looted the people's wealth, but the people wished that all the officials would die. If this goes on for a long time, the country will not be ......" frowned as he spoke, and his expression was gloomy...

A young scholar in the audience said: "Since this Chen Guo is so unbearable, why doesn't Miss Le go to the court to make a speech?"

"Alas... It's hard to put into words. Last month, I debated with those old officials in the court, and they admitted that the officialdom had accumulated evils, but they shirked their ancestors, so do you want me to be a woman to find a solution? I can't get angry, and a few days ago I was going to stop, so I went to the new Soviet City, to reason with the big officials in the court, and then to check the classics of the old Soviet Dynasty to see if there was any good way to help the world. Le Weixuan was a little emotional, but she still spoke eloquently, not loudly.

Another merchant stood up and said: "In a few years, I will change an auxiliary minister and bring a group of corrupt officials who eat meat and drink blood. However, after a few years, he was appointed as an auxiliary minister. Scrape a layer of ground before the previous one leaves, and the new one will ask you again...... Hi.... This next year, I'm going to change the auxiliary country... ”

Su Wen was impatient when he listened, he didn't understand the local situation, he couldn't empathize, and everyone was also a word from you, a word from me, so naturally he couldn't listen to it. However, this Le Weixuan mentioned the old classics of the Su Dynasty! This is exactly her purpose..... I didn't know where to look, so I had a clue.

Just as he was about to inquire where the new Su was, a young scholar in a long shirt stood up and said to everyone: "Where is the Su Dynasty still in existence now? The princes of all walks of life take turns to control the court and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes. The princes only cared about their own money, and Emperor Su lived in the deep palace, only making some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and cultivating immortals to visit the Tao. Who among the ministers can care about the lives of the people? Xinsu Ji went to the school palace, and all the gentlemen and masters have been arguing for more than a hundred years, but they haven't seen an idea...... I am a scholar, and I have read a few books in the palace, but the princes control the court, and there is no way to serve the country. This study tour is to see the people's livelihood and hardships and find the road to governing the country. Miss Le was born in a famous family, and she doesn't think about the glory and wealth, but she has the ambition to help the world, which is admirable. This trip to the new Sioux City to read the classics, must go to the Jixia School Palace, although I Zhang Ziling is a scholar, but a little bit of thin strength, willing to saddle the horse before and after, but also ask Miss Le to agree. After saying that, he slammed to the ground.

Le Weixuan stood up with joy: "Brother Ziling, please get up, I can't imagine that in this remote inn, it is Weixuan's honor to meet Zhang Dacai, who is famous in Xinsu, and don't say anything about the work of saddle horses, if Brother Ziling doesn't dislike it, you and I will be in the same boat, and we will go to Xinsu together tomorrow." ”

......

Rub, what kind of drama is this? Did the ancient doormen come to vote? Su Wen didn't expect this kind of operation, and was thinking about how to talk to him. I just came across a template. Ready to do the same, he also stood up.

"This girl is good, Xiaosheng is polite. "Learn from everyone to arch their hands first. "My name is Su Wen, and I am a ranger, and I also travel with a sword for national events. Listening to you, this Jixia School Palace is very famous, and I am also trying to go through old books and check the affairs of the old Su Dynasty. These days, demon beasts are rampant outside, and I can't say anything about the saddle before and after the horse, but I can do it when I encounter demon beasts. After saying that, he arched his hand again.

I wondered in my heart: Oh no, this has no application experience, this one has no graduation certificate, and the second has no academic certificate, and I don't know if it is competitive?

Everyone was stunned when they saw Su Wen, and thought that this guy was talking interestingly, what are you studying as a hunter, what kind of books do you read? I just want to go to a big family to have an errand, and there are tens of thousands of customers in Lejia, so you are not the only one. But the young man's courage is commendable, looking at this dress and physique, even if he is not a chivalrous man who can kill demons, at least he is a capable hunter.

Seeing that it was Su Wen, Le Weixuan recognized the Orion who had seen it on the bridge, and said with a smile: "I thought you were a demon killer, and I wanted to invite you to inquire about the recent attack of demon beasts, but I didn't expect it to be a chivalrous warrior with a warm heart." Please forgive the little woman for not knowing Mount Tai with her eyes, since the knight also intends to go to Xinsu City, why don't we go together? What do you think of the chivalrous man?"

Su Wen was about to agree, but several businessmen rushed forward noisily. It turned out that he didn't want to stay in the city, and he was looking for more fellow merchants.

Su Wen had no choice but to stand up and nod to Le Weixuan...... After the matter was done, I was no longer interested in mixing with these businessmen and angry youths, and I was stinking in the wilderness for the past few days, so I hurriedly went to the room to bathe and change clothes.

On the second day, on the trade road from Suxian Mountain to the imperial city of Xinsu, a large group of people and horses were clustered together, more than a dozen carts carrying goods like a small mountain, and several covered carts carrying passengers were sandwiched between the convoys. There are guards on horseback in front of you, on the left and right, and you are hoshing forward. Su Wen changed into his newly bought outfit, found a cart with the highest load, and sat on the top of the cargo alone, biting a sweet grass in his mouth and putting a rattan next to him, indescribably comfortable and happy.

The cart hung in the air by floating stones, and the mule pulled it was not very difficult, and sometimes it was even lazy. The driver sits in front of the car and adjusts the floating height when encountering a high slope. In case of emergency, you can release some wooden stakes from the car to slow down, and there is not much need to rest on the road, and the speed of travel is quite fast.

After traveling for a long time, Su Wen was tired and lay on the roof of the car with his head and hands on his head, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he felt that he was really in love with the life here, there was no need to work overtime, and there was no complicated and indifferent interpersonal relationship. Hunting and eating and drinking would have been unthinkable in the original world. Without troubles and sorrows, the mind is easily empty. Illuminated by the warm sun, I fell asleep unconsciously......

The driver of the lead car is often the most experienced and respected veteran driver in the fleet. Lao Liu Tou has been driving a big car all his life, relying on caution and more and more experience, he has basically never encountered any danger. This time I heard that there were monsters infested, but the old Liu Tou, who didn't want to hurry, couldn't resist the temptation of twice the fare, after all, his son was about to get married, and he needed money everywhere. It's a pity that his son doesn't have the talent to be a driver, otherwise it's no problem to run around with him and live a worry-free life. Now I can only go to the workshop as an apprentice, and I am afraid that my life will be a little difficult in the future.

Lao Liu Tou was thinking about accumulating some family property and buying a shop. After his son leaves school, he can do some business on his own. However, housing prices have risen too fast in recent years, and the speed of saving cannot keep up with the speed of rise. Old Liu Tou can't figure it out, there are still so many people, the city is still the same city, and even this house is still the same as before, how can the price rise? He sighed and shook his head. Then he continued to fight hard and carefully observed the road conditions. Since I can't figure it out, I don't want to think about it, so I have to catch this train first.

A capable female rider passed by, looked at old Liu Tou and smiled, and threw a piece of dried meat. Lao Liu took it, tore it open and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it slowly. This rider is Lao Liu Tou's niece in the summer, not very old, but he has also been on the battlefield for a long time, with a handful of arrows, and he can also be regarded as a shot in the guard, but it is a pity that his body is thin, but he can't fight in close combat.

The female rider in the summer used her hand to brush away her somewhat disheveled hair. Glancing at the roof of the cart behind him, there was a strange young man with a kind face but a tall and strong body. Dressed as a scholar and carrying a rattan basket, he didn't go to sit in the back caravan and ran to the top to do something? Originally, there were guards who wanted to stop him, but he was signaled by the temporary leader of the convoy that he was the companion of the eldest lady. If you're a companion, why don't you go to the caravan and do something on the roof of the car? But... I like it mysteriously. When you camp, you don't know if you have a chance to talk? Thinking about his thoughts, his cheeks turned crimson.

The cart runs smoothly, and a group of people sitting in the caravan can leisurely chat, drink tea, and read books. If you have nothing to do, you can look at the scenery that can be seen everywhere outside the window, green grass, flowers, wild animals and distant mountains like ink paintings.... Le Weixuan and Zhang Ziling were sitting opposite each other on the side of the tea table, chatting happily. Several attendants were on his side. The periphery of the car was also occupied by the samurai of the Lejia family, all of whom rode in pairs, with black clothes and black armor and red cloaks, sitting on tall pack horses. The four- or five-meter-long cavalry spear was erected on the victory hook under the saddle through the bird's wing ring on his arm, and he carried a powerful crossbow on his back, with a resolute but somewhat taciturn expression. Another warhorse, with a soft vest on its back, and two short crossbows hanging from its saddle, followed by its side. There are only a dozen people, but it gives people the feeling that guns are like a forest, arrows are like rain, and they are like a death guard.

It was getting late, and there was a post fort on the side of the road ahead. The temporary leader of the caravan first sent a rider to investigate, and when he received a signal that it was safe, the leader decided to spend the night here. The sound of the rider riding his horse woke Su Wen. Su Wen stretched his waist and looked around with sleepy eyes, but he didn't see the common antelopes and deer on the grassland far and near......

The female rider went up to the tower of the post castle in the summer, just in time to see Su Wen preparing a spear. Years of experience in licking blood from the knife edge made her dare not be careless, and with a whistle, she asked her companion to hurry up and open the gate that allowed the carriage and horses to enter and exit.

Lao Liu squinted his eyes, glanced at the old horses in the convoy, and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop and be on guard.

Su Wen looked at it for a long time, and finally found an anomaly next to an inconspicuous mound two hundred meters ahead. Something flashed, and after a closer look, Su Wen had a plan. He stood up sharply, drew his bow and made a projectile. The grass next to the mound "whoozed" out of it, and a large chimpanzee two meters tall sprang out. The tower-like chimpanzee stood up, slammed his chest with a fist in one hand, raised a cyan waist knife in the other, and let out an angry roar at Su Wen. The people in the convoy could clearly feel the resentment in this roar.

There is still some distance between the convoy and the post fort, and in the long grass on both sides of the road, more than 100 black orangutans stand in the hulala. The startled convoy neighed and roared, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Others did not know the situation, and they were noisy, pushing, pushing, and huddling. Only a few of the guards drew their weapons and began to stand guard around the cart.

The black horsemen changed horses in an instant, half of them stayed behind, half of them lined up in front of the convoy, the horses were armoured, the men were out of their saddles, and their riding guns were lowered.

The people of the post fort didn't know whether to open or close the gate, and a few of them rushed to the gate of the fort. It's also a mess.

Seeing that the big battle was about to start, Su Wen was overjoyed, loosened the bowstring, and compared his middle finger. laughed out loud and scolded: "Stupid monkey, have you been deceived by me again!" After scolding, he laughed heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

When Su Wen saw the cyan flash, he recognized that this was the chimpanzee that was ambushed in Suxian Mountain, this thing is too strange, every time he has to fight an ambush, his right leg is a little unfavorable, and he encounters hard stubble faster than anyone else. What's more, this guy is still the only demon beast that uses weapons.

The monster is bitter in his heart: MMP Lao Tzu has already given you all the territory! The mountains and forests are occupied by you, what are our old snacks? We don't eat much meat, we just fancy the food of the convoy, are you going to kill them all? Believe it or not, I will fight with you to die in the net...... Alas?.... Why didn't this thing stay in Su Xian Mountain? He came out?...... Isn't there no one in our hometown? What are you talking about, hurry back, there is still food hidden in the lair, some food to eat, and the fool is here to fight with you!!!

With a whistle, the beast group slowly retreated, and when the demon beast was leaving, it actually learned from Su Wen to make a thick middle finger???

Su Wen suddenly froze, your middle finger is a little too big!! MMP still dare to play tricks with me? Raising your hand is a high-tossing feather arrow. When the monster heard the sound of the strings, he jumped up and turned his head and ran, saying that he would not look back and take it...... Muttering in orangutan language while running: who picks up who is stupid....

Su Wen secretly complained, am I a fool? ...... There's one more precious arrow missing. Someone happened to go to investigate and help him find it, but fortunately he didn't hit the stone and destroy it.

A group of people finally stopped running around, and looked at the white-faced scholar on the roof of the car who was wearing a long shirt and a book basket, handsome and elegant, but could repel the demon beast with one arrow, and couldn't help but feel that the painting style was a little inconsistent. Some people who saw Su Wen last night couldn't help but curse in their hearts: Yesterday you dressed in animal skins and barbarians and talked about poetry and books and distant places, and today you wore a show but came to subdue demons and eliminate demons, is your head missing a string?

Su Wen didn't know what everyone thought, so he maintained a posture of bending his bow and shooting the eagle, and extremely enjoyed everyone's grateful and adoring eyes. I really want to pretend to be like this.......
