Chapter 266: The Old Man of Yongzhou
Xiao Ding killed the ghosts who poisoned the villagers in Shimo Village, and scared away Meng Po, who was manipulating the ghosts behind his back. When he told the news to Old Man Zhang, Old Man Zhang was so excited that he burst into tears.
And Old Man Zhang's youngest grandson is more interested in Xiao Ding's killing of ghosts. Xiao Ding told him that he needed to use a peach wood sword to kill ghosts, and showed him the wooden hairpin he used to kill ghosts.
Seeing the wooden hairpin, Xiao Ding thought of the person who gave him the wooden hairpin - Gao Wanjun, and said in his heart that he had encountered ghosts several times along the way, if Gao Wanjun had not given him this wooden hairpin, he might have been ghosted that day, and more than half a month had passed, and I don't know what happened to this Gao Wanjun now.
After everyone ate breakfast, Xiao Ding decided to leave, Old Man Zhang's family tried every possible way to stay, and Xiao Ding insisted on leaving. After all, the road has been delayed for many days.
When he went to Zhongzhou in Kyoto a few years ago, he marched with a large army, and it only took about half a month, but this time the return trip was obviously much slower, and there were various things delayed on the way, and now he has been on the road for more than half a month, and he has only reached the territory of Jinju. It is estimated that it will take about ten days to rush back to Yongzhou's home from here.
Old man Zhang's family saw that they couldn't keep it, so they had to give up, prepared a lot of local products, and forced the fortress to keep them on the road to eat, Xiaoding couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. took twenty taels of silver as a reward and forcibly stuffed it to Old Man Zhang, but Old Man Zhang couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly accepted it.
The contents of the three carriages were not unloaded yesterday, so today it will naturally save a lot of trouble. Everyone got into the car, but Liu San still rushed to the first car, and the other two cars were tied behind, leaving Shimo Village and heading west.
The horses in the other two cars had come this way, and were now accustomed to this way of walking. While Liu San was shouting at the horses in front, he would also deliberately raise his voice so that the two horses behind him could also hear it.
There was nothing to say all the way, along the official road, all the way to the west. Occasionally, when they miss the village or town, they don't have to worry about it, the car is very sufficient, and it is not a problem to sleep for a night or two, and when they pass through the town, they will make up for everything they need again.
In this way, it didn't take a few days for several people to enter the boundary of Yongzhou. Coming to Yongzhou means that you are not far from Luoxia Village. Xiao Ding was excited, imagining the scene when he saw his family, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy. I don't even have the mood to practice.
Along the way, Xiao Ding was idle, so he sat in the car and practiced. After more than 20 days of practice, his Tiankai Eyes and Tiankai Ear exercises have gone further, and he is not far from breaking through. At the same time, his vajra technique has also begun to be introduced.
After Bai Junfei's recovery in the past few days, his physical condition has also improved greatly, and his physical recovery is about seventy or eighty percent. Now, you don't need someone to help you do anything. It's just that I feel that when I practice, my strength is a little weak.
In the past two days, he would often get out of the carriage and help watch the two carriages behind him.
Jiang's son Tie Dan felt funny when he saw Liu San and Bai Junfei driving the car, so he often got out of the carriage and followed Liu San's example to catch the carriage.
The snow on the border of Yongzhou is not as heavy as that on the Jizhou and Jinzhou sides, and the road is easier to walk. Therefore, after entering the boundary of Yongzhou, the carriage traveled a lot faster than before.
It only took two days for everyone to rush to Yongzhou City. When he entered Yongzhou City, it was getting late, and Xiao Ding decided to rest in Yongzhou City for the night first, and then rush to Luoxia Village tomorrow.
Luoxia Village is far from Yongzhou City, and it takes two or three days to arrive by horseback, and the driving may be slower. Seeing that he was about to get home, Xiao Ding was not in a hurry at this time.
Everyone found an inn in Yongzhou City to live in. After dinner, the group decided to go to the night market to replenish some supplies for the road.
For Yongzhou City, Xiao Ding is more familiar with the Xiangjun Beiying on the side of Beicheng and the Zhizhou Mansion of Yongzhou City, both of which he has visited.
Zhizhou Mansion Xiao Ding didn't plan to go again, although Zhou Zhizhou was not bad to Xiao Ding, his own saber was given to him by Zhou Zhizhou, and this sword really helped Xiao Ding. But Xiao Ding still decided not to visit first, he was worried that after he went, Zhou Zhizhou would invite him to a banquet again, and he would have to entertain various officials in Yongzhou, maybe there would be something that would delay his trip.
For the North Camp of the Xiang Army, Xiao Ding knew that the people he knew, including Huang Wenlong, Jin Xi, and the veterans who used to live in the same dormitory with him, should be guarding the frontier front line in Yongzhou at this moment, so there is no need to go to this barracks.
Xiao Ding took Liu San, Jiang's mother and son, Bai Junfei, and Zheng Die'er to walk all the way through the night market in Yongzhou City.
Just as they passed by the door of a green building, Xiao Ding suddenly saw two people pulling and pulling in front of the door of the green building.
One of them was a middle-aged man with a short stature, dressed in silk and satin, and he looked like a rich man. The other person was a little white face, wearing a big red shirt, with a very fair face, and heavy makeup, walking and twisting.
At this time, the little white face was pulling the arm of the five-short-sized person, and begged softly: "I said Brother Fei, don't go to the Qinglou, will you accompany me?" I can drink and sing with you, I can talk with you all night, and I can serve you as you want me to serve you. ”
After listening to the little white face's words, the middle-aged man with a short figure shook his hand impatiently, trying to shake off the little white face's hand that was holding his arm, but he didn't shake it off. He said in annoyance: "I said that you are endless, you are not annoyed with pestering me all day long!" I'm going to be annoyed by you! ”
When the little white face heard this, he said with an aggrieved face: "Brother Fei, you don't like me anymore?" Are you in love with someone else? I'm sincere to you, don't you like the new and hate the old! ”
The middle-aged man with a short figure was so angry that he scolded: "I like the new and hate the old fart!" I've never liked you! Don't you always come to pester me, okay, you let me be pure and pure, even if I beg you, you are about to torture me to death! ”
When Xiao Ding saw this scene in front of him, he not only laughed a little. He knows all these two people in front of him, and it should be said that they are both old people in Yongzhou.
The middle-aged man with a short figure was Fei Wen, the commander who led the southern camp of the Xiang Army, and the little white face was Bian Hongtai, the Marquis of Yu in Fei Wen's army.
Fei Wen repeatedly deserted when fighting the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, causing him to lose his original military position as the commander of the southern camp of the Xiang army, and now he has been demoted to an ordinary commander.
Although Bian Hongtai was not demoted, he was met by Xiao Ding for bullying women from good families, and as a result, Xiao Ding kicked Sun Gen badly, and as a result, he has now become a man or a woman. pestered Fei Wen all day long. Fei Wen was so annoyed by him that he wanted to die.
Xiao Ding wanted to laugh when he saw these two people, and said in his heart, if this continues, what will happen to them in the future?
