The situation in Quyang is becoming more and more critical, and there are many rumors in the city that are unfavorable to the Yellow Turban defenders of Quyang City.

These rumors generally mean that there is a shortage of food in the city or that the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal in the city is not harmonious, or that some of the Yellow Turban Qu Marshal are already plotting to break through.

For a while, some of the Yellow Turban defenders in Quyang City couldn't help but panic.

But soon, Zhang Bao personally appeared and forcibly suppressed those rumors. He personally appeared to say the law, and showed his magic power to the Yellow Turban defenders in the city on the spot, he used the wind and rain talisman, so that Quyang City suddenly overwhelmed the clouds, and it really rained.

After that, the weather suddenly plummeted, and it was much colder, and after that rain, the sky fell with goose feathers.

Perhaps because of the sudden change in the weather, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, who had been attacking in a hurry, did not move for the time being, and did not stop attacking the city violently.

However, just as in history, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court began to carry out psychological warfare against Quyang City, surrendering to some leaders of the Yellow Turban Army, hoping to make the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City turn against the water themselves, open the city gate, and let the imperial army enter the city.

In history, it was because of the betrayal of Zhang Bao's henchman Yan Zheng that Quyang City was attacked, and Zhang Bao was killed because of this.

It should also be noted that the talisman used by Zhang Bao was one of the few talismans left to him by Zhang Jiao.

These talismans are very similar to those in the immortal cultivation realm, and they are estimated to have the same effect.

In the Taiping Sutra, I also read an introduction to the runes. This should also be a special method to seal the Taiping True Qi on a special rune paper, and after it is activated, it can trigger some visions of heaven and earth.

These are also the embodiment of a kind of power inspired by the aura of heaven and earth.

It's a pity that Liu Xian can't understand those things that are talismans, if you want to practice, I'm afraid you have to join some traditional Dao Sects first, and you have to have some real Dao Sects to learn. But even in this way, it may not be possible to succeed in cultivation.

Moreover, even if the cultivation is successful, I am afraid it will be difficult to find and get those special rune paper and other materials, and without those things, let alone consider making the rune.

I don't know how much effort it took to get some talisman materials. It can be said that Zhang Jiao may have exhausted his Taiping Dao's manpower and material resources to get a little bit.

Not to mention anything else, it is said in the middle, the main material for making talismans must have the blood of spirit beasts.

What is Spirit Animal? This Liu Xian really doesn't know.

However, it is mentioned in the Taiping Sutra that the blood of those divine beasts in Chinese legends can make truly powerful talismans.

Look, even the legendary mythical beast has come out. I don't know if there is anything in this world.

For example, the Divine Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu, and the Qilin, etc., these should be divine beasts. But who has really seen these things?

Well, there are white tigers, but this doesn't mean that a white tiger is a white tiger. What we refer to here is the kind of spirit beast and divine beast that has spirituality. According to the Taiping Sutra, those beasts that can absorb the aura of heaven and earth are spirit beasts.

This, really doubt that this world really exists.

Regardless, Quyang City seemed to be quiet for several days.

However, this was only the silence before the Great War. It is estimated that as soon as this heavy snow stops, the battle will become more intense.

It's strange to say.

Liu Xian's caravan, from south to north, was only more than 200 miles, but along the way, except for the cold wind and rage, there was not much snowfall.

Just when Liu Xian's caravan arrived about thirty miles away from Quyang, he really felt the cold of the goose feather snow.

At this beginning, in fact, it is equivalent to almost entering the battlefield, and soon you will encounter the patrol of the imperial court officers and soldiers.

Liu Xian didn't let the Liu Mansion caravan move on,

The caravan arrived at a town called Demon Suppression.

Demon Town, listening to this name, it really makes people feel a little flustered, this is a name with a strong mythological flavor.

In fact, this town is really in a deserted place, surrounded by gloomy grass and trees, giving people a feeling that this place is very wild, whether there are really any demons and monsters.

In fact, this demon town is indeed an ancient village with a long history, and it does have some legends of foxes, fairies and demons.

Of course, I don't know if there are fox fairies and demons, but here it has suffered a man-made disaster.

A really big town, now in tatters, has long been incomparable with Liulin Village, and the surviving population of the town is estimated to be no more than 200 people.

There is a team of 50 officers and soldiers stationed here. It was the officers and soldiers who stayed behind when Huangfu Song led the army to pass here.

Now the people of this demon town are estimated to have survived with the protection and assistance of these fifty officers and soldiers.

Liu Xian's group of more than 2,000 people came to this town, which frightened the group of officers and soldiers here. However, seeing that they were basically women with big burdens, they were a little more relieved.

Liu Xian's people naturally discovered them, and sent people to inquire about them, and after knowing the identities of these officers and soldiers, Liu Xian immediately decided to stay in this town temporarily.

Liu Xian came with these clothes this time, and his main purpose was to sell them to Huangfu Song. The second is to understand the battle situation in Quyang and understand Zhang Ning's current situation.

Naturally, it doesn't mean that Zhang Ning is not important, but Liu Xian knows that he has already told Zhang Ning what he should say. If she didn't listen to her own words and rashly went to see Zhang Bao, then she would have no choice even if she was in danger or something. With Zhang Ning's current personal force, she is more powerful than herself, if she can't keep herself, then what can she do?

In the final analysis, Liu Xian is just a traverser, he just wants to live well in this Three Kingdoms world. The relationship between him and Zhang Ning has not yet reached the point of life and death. If Zhang Ning was looking for death by herself, she would have to disclose her identity in Quyang City, so that the people of the Yellow Turban Army and the imperial court would know that the Holy Maiden of Taiping Dao was in Quyang City, so that she would suddenly become the focus of all aspects, and everyone wanted to catch her, so what could Liu Xian do?

If Zhang Ning didn't reveal her identity, even if she had a way to sneak into the city, then she wouldn't be in much danger. casually pretending to be a woman from a common people's family, then it is unlikely that the court officers and soldiers will do anything to her.

Anyway, for those things that are not under his control, Liu Xian can only do his best, but he will never be impulsive to the point that he has to sneak into the city to save her.

Liu appeared in this body, although he was only sixteen years old. But his mental age is that of a young man in his twenties, and he has long passed the youthful and impulsive teenage period.

What is the main and what is the second, Liu Xian is very clear. Nothing is more important now than selling these clothes to Huang Fu Song, and then getting money or rice from Huang Fu Song's hands. Because this can be related to the food and clothing of tens of thousands of people in the entire Yangshi County and Liulin Village. At the same time, it is also related to the issue of one's own development.

Here are the officers and soldiers left by Huangfu Song, then it will be easy to do.

And Liu Xian also has some feelings, and now it's really a coincidence. The severe cold brought by this heavy snow must now make Huangfu Song scratch his head. And I brought this batch of warm clothes at this time, I am afraid it is really a charcoal in the snow, and it is timely.

Of course, if you sell this batch of clothes to Huangfu Song, you have to have some skills. If you rashly run to sell his clothes, I am afraid that this is just like Wang Bao said, and it may be difficult to see him even when you see him.

The weather was indeed too cold, and along the way, these women were really cold enough, and many of them did not expect it to be so difficult at first, and they couldn't help crying on the way.

However, they have persevered until now.

In addition, Liu Xian was fortunate to pick out a hundred people from Yannan to come, and these young men also played a lot of roles, helping some women who were really difficult to hold on to on the way to carry a big burden.

Liu Xian immediately asked people to clean up the unoccupied houses in this town and settle these women.

After settling the caravan, Liu Xian had time to meet the officer and soldier.

The town does not have a town office, but there is a post station set up by the government.

The officers and soldiers left behind by Huangfu Song used the post station as their temporary garrison barracks.

After being informed, Liu Xian was brought in.

This captain Du Bo's name is Lin Yi.

Liu Xian did not come to see this Dubo as a relative of the Han family and a noble son, but came to see him as an ordinary caravan owner.

Lin Yi is a rather short and strong man.

It gives people a more calm and solid feeling.

Liu Xian walked not far in front of him, clasped his fists and saluted: "I've seen Lord Dubo!" I am Liu Xian, the owner of the Liu Mansion Caravan in Liulin Village, Xiatao County. This time, the caravan carried some goods north, and just passed through this town, and saw that the road ahead was full of wind and snow, and it was really difficult for the caravan to move forward. In addition, it was not early in the morning, so I entered the town to spend the night, and asked Lord Duber to forgive me if I disturbed him. ”

"Liufu caravan in Liulin Village, Xiatao County?" This Lin Yi is only a small person in the army, so he naturally doesn't know about the Liu Mansion caravan.

Liu Xian didn't say much, and took out the official road guide from his arms, so that Lin Yi could look at it.

Lin Yi took it suspiciously, and saw that it was the new official seal of Lord Huangfu Song after he became the pastor of Jizhou. Immediately, he didn't suspect it, and returned the official road to Liu Xiandao: "It turns out that you are a newly established caravan, yes, this shows that Lord Huangfu's governance of our Jizhou has been effective, and there are caravans to merchant." Have a seat! ”

Lin Yi motioned for Liu Xian to sit down and talk to him.

Liu Xian naturally sat aside, and then said to him: "Lord Dubo, that's the case, I want to learn from you about the situation ahead, I heard that Quyang City is still fighting, I don't know if the battle is over?" This time we are going to the north, passing through Quyang. We are not worried about being involved in the war. ”

"It's not over yet, but it's probably going to be soon. Words ......" Lin Yi changed the topic and said: "Lin advises Boss Liu, you still don't go north." Your caravan is really weird, almost all of them are women, and if you go further north, you may encounter some wandering Yellow Turban bandits. Our officers and soldiers have not yet taken control of those areas north of Quyang. When you take these women with you, you are like a sheep in the mouth of a wolf. ”

This Lin Yi had a heart and reminded Liu Xiandao.

The women in Liu Xian's caravan were actually young and middle-aged women between the ages of 20 and 30 or 40. Naturally, there are a lot of delicate and lovely people, to be honest, if the thief sees so many women, it is estimated that he will really go crazy to rob them, well, not to rob property, but to rob women.

Fortunately, Liu Xian did not really plan to travel further north, and planned to only go to Quyang from the beginning. Moreover, the road from Yangshi County to Quyang for more than 200 miles has been cleared by officers and soldiers, and it is relatively safe. Otherwise, Liu Xian wouldn't dare to really let these women do business.

Moreover, taking these women to do business, Liu Xian also has another deep meaning.

Now that Lin Yi said this, Liu Xian smiled bitterly and said: "Hehe, don't hide it from Uncle Lin, if you can, who would dare to take these women to do business?" You don't know, along the way, these women have a lot of troubles, they are cold and tired, crying and crying from time to time, which makes me annoyed. ”

"Boss Liu...... Well, Lin saw that you are not very old, why did you set up such a caravan? What about the adults in your family? To be honest, seeing a caravan like yours really scared me, and I guess only a young boy like you would dare to come here like this. Lin Yi had long been surprised by Liu Xian's youth, and now he couldn't help but talk about Liu Xian.

This is also Liu Xian's appearance that he didn't seem to be a young man from the beginning, which made Lin Yi can't help but listen to Liu Xian and understand the situation.

"Uncle Lin, you're wrong. As the saying goes, ambition is not young. What's more, I'm really not nonsense, you don't know the actual situation, that's why you have such an opinion. Actually, I also want men to do business, but unfortunately, after a year of turmoil, where are there so many young and strong men? I had no choice but to let these women do business. ”

"Oh? So that's the case? But ......" Lin Yi said again: "If you want to make money in business, you are not in a hurry at this time, this is originally the cold winter season, if you want to do business, you can wait until next spring after the flowers bloom before doing business, right?" ”

"If you have a choice, you can do business later. However, this is not possible, and now we are all short of food there, and we are about to run out of food. If we don't sell these goods quickly and use the money to buy some food, then more people will starve to death. ”

"What? How could it be? What does this say? ”

"Uncle Lin, our caravan can be related to the survival hope of 30,000 or 40,000 people. Therefore, no matter how heavy the wind and snow are, whether there is a war ahead, and whether there will be robbery by thieves, we must make this trip. ”

"Well, if that's the case, where are you going to trade? Prefer to go north? Now the north is in turmoil. Also, I forgot to ask, I see that the women of your caravan are all carrying a big burden, and those are the goods of your caravan? What are they? ”
