On the official road that has been in disrepair for a long time, many wild grasses grow on the side branches.

In hazy weather, heavy dark clouds pressed down overhead, and bursts of thunder roared from time to time.

It was in such a gloomy sky that a line of chariots and horses drove quickly over the official road, leaving behind a low spiral of dust, and it was difficult to return to peace for a long time.

"It's going to rain. ”

After dusting off the ash stains on his armor, Cheng Fengyuan frowned and looked at the sky, muttering to himself.

Hearing this, several horses in front of them couldn't help but slow down their pace, waiting for a few people behind to follow.

But I saw the two people at the head, one was in a plain robe and monk's robe, and the wind and dust had not been embarrassed for a few days, and the other was a scholar in a green shirt, and his eyebrows were dignified, and it was Fahai and his party.

"The old man remembers that there is a post station not far from here, so let's take a rest there today, I don't know what Elder Fahai thinks?"

Finally catching up with a few people in front, Chang Wei took a breath and muttered a suggestion.

Worried about the safety of the Son of Heaven, Wanyan refused Cheng Fengyuan's proposal to send a carriage and horses, Chang Wei said that the sword was not old, and his riding skills were not sparse, he just asked for a horse, and he went on the road with everyone in the dust.

"This trip was originally based on the elderly, and the poor monks naturally had nothing to do. ”

For Fahai, horseback riding is to be on the will of Chang Wei and others, if he wants to use his magic foot, he will be able to arrive in the capital in less than a day, where is it so troublesome.

However, the occasional horseback ride is also a novel experience.

"Then the lower official will first send two horsemen to the front to explore the way, and by the way, let the little officials of the post station prepare the food for the house. ”

Cheng Fengyuan will also come to something, seeing that the two of them made a decision in a few words, he hurriedly spoke out to flatter, and at the same time turned around and shouted orders to his two personal soldiers.

"Cheng Wu, Huo Laosan, don't hurry up and inform the officials of the post station along the official road, so that they can prepare to greet them. ”

"There is no need to make such a big move, the old man's trip has already violated the laws of the imperial court, only one spoonful of food and one scoop of drink is enough, so why be extravagant. ”

did not accept Cheng Fengyuan's dedication, Chang Wei shook his head, signaling that the two did not need to do more.

The two guards looked at Cheng Fengyuan hesitantly, after all, this was the object of their allegiance at this time.

"Didn't you hear what the boss said, why don't you go quickly?!"

With a symbolic whip, Cheng Fengyuan turned around and looked at Chang Wei with a low eyebrow on his face.

"Having said that, the old man also knows that those Ercao officials who eat official salaries and don't do practical things, if they don't inform them in advance, where will they clean the house, and then they can't let the adults live in a leaky and dilapidated house. ”

"The adults are high-spirited and bright, but they can't lose the dignity of the court. ”

After receiving the order, the two guards immediately mustered up their spirits and walked away quickly, despite the fatigue of the boat and car.

As if persuaded by Cheng Fengyuan's sophistry, Chang Wei frowned, but after all, he still didn't object to the exit, but his lips opened and closed, and he sighed slightly:

"The old man is in a high position, and he can't expel the evil people, and he is worried about the king, so what face does he have to accuse some small officials of not performing their official duties?"

Cheng Fengyuan was just about to take over the words of flattery, but he was interrupted by Chang Wei unexpectedly.

"You don't have to compliment me, as long as you are willing to do your best on this trip, all the previous things, the old man should write off all the money, can you still be satisfied now?"

But Chang Wei had already seen through his thoughts, and promised angrily.

If it weren't for the life of the Son of Heaven, in other words, such a tricky person would have been involved in a few books by him.

Rao is like this, Chang Wei also made up his mind.

This kind of person is of petty use, and he really lets him rule one side, but it is not beneficial to the country or the people.

"Satisfied, satisfied! Then the lower official will thank the boss for his promotion!"

Originally, this trip was to give Chang Wei a good impression, looking forward to leaving some mercy in the future liquidation.

Now that he has Chang Wei's assurance, Cheng Feng is anger is on his face.

After all, from the moment the envoy of the national teacher died on his territory, his thoughts of taking refuge in the other party had basically been shattered.

Especially from Fahaikou, I learned that the so-called national teacher is just a centipede essence who has concealed his identity, and in order to avoid liquidation, he is also holding on to a bigger backer-

Cheng Feng set his eyes on Chang Wei when he landed far away.

The patriarch of the two dynasties, the current emperor, not to mention this hurdle, plus the meritorious service of saving the driver, who else can compete for the throne of Shoufu from this old man?

Such a thick thigh, if you don't hold it at this time, when will you stay?

Cheng Fengyuan fell into a beautiful fantasy about the future, not knowing that someone had cut off his possibility of further progress in the future.

After resting for a while, I felt that my physical strength began to slowly recover, and the rain clouds on the horizon became thicker and thicker.

Knowing that it would be too late if he didn't hurry, and regardless of his old age and lack of health, the old Yushi gritted his teeth, informed everyone, and continued to move forward.

"Boom—"

Finally, the last ray of light was obscured by the dark clouds, and only a thunderclap was heard between the heavens and the earth.

If the illegal sea eye is quick and waves his sleeves to create a large enough light curtain, many people will inevitably be drenched by this sudden heavy rain.

Not to mention that there is a sixty-year-old man like Chang Wei in the crowd, if it is not handled properly, it will not be as simple as a wind chill.

Fortunately, at this time, the post station was already not far away, on the deserted plain, a house with lights on in the continuous rain curtain, faintly recognizable.

Maybe it was a light curtain created by Fahai with mana to shield the rain, Cheng Fengyuan scolded with a smile:

"Cheng Wu, that waste, let him inform the little official of the post house, and he doesn't know how to come back and report it, don't say it's my nephew today, it's the king of heaven, and the official will reward him with a few whips!"

said that it was a scolding, but it could hear the meaning of protection.

After all, if Cheng Fengyuan really had clear rewards and punishments, and did not avoid relatives, such a thing would never happen.

As for saying it, it was also to protect his nephew in front of Chang Wei.

"Hahaha, are you willing to do it, my lord, aren't you afraid that the old man will deal with it with a stick?"

"Although Xiao Wu is confused, but the task assigned by the adult is completed every time, this time it may be an accident, and the horse will not run anymore. ”

......

Sure enough, after listening to Cheng Fengyuan's hint, a group of veterans who had followed him for many years suddenly soothed.

The official also felt that this kid didn't dare, so he had to ask him later, if he was fascinated by the fox demon girl and ghost. ”

Someone praised him, Cheng Fengyuan showed joy on his face, laughing and trying to fool the past.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

As if sensing something, Fahai suddenly frowned and spoke.

"What did the elder find strange?"

Cheng Fengyuan's heart tightened, and there was an inexplicable palpitation that didn't come from nowhere.

"It was so windy and rainy, and the two lanterns hanging in front of the door were motionless, which was one of them. ”

"There are adults and soldiers who have informed them, and there are second-class officers in the army, but no officials have gone out to greet them, this is the second ......"

The others were obscured by the heavy rain, and they may not feel it, but in Fahai's eyes and ears, the small courtyard was like a ghost, dead and silent, without any life.

I'm afraid that it has already encountered an ominous encounter.

......
