After eating, Xiao Yu sat in a daze in a room in a restaurant in Huangshui County.

The impact of today's events on Xiao Yu is too great.

The dead bodies beside the official road, the crowds of beggars at the city gate, and the deafening reactionary lyrics in the city, everything is beyond Xiao Yu's imagination.

Da Sui is really in danger.

Xiao Yu felt irritable in his heart, although he had been bumpy in the carriage all night last night, Xiao Yu did not feel tired at all.

When I opened the window of the restaurant, a cold wind blew in, causing the things in the room to fly everywhere in an instant.

It was just after noon, and the sun was at its highest of the day, but the faint sunlight could not resist the biting cold, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

On the street, the earth-shattering reactionary songs finally stopped, and only one after another Hanako on the side of the street was still struggling on the line of life and death.

After a while of the wind, Xiao Yu's mood slowly calmed down.

Closing the window, Xiao Yu slowly cleaned up the things that were blown everywhere in the room.

This is?

Xiao Yu was holding a letter in his hand, which was left to him by the master before leaving, and it contained the letter of the "Tiancang Sutra".

The letter was sandwiched by Xiao Yu in "Hong Fan Jiu Chou", if Xiao Yu hadn't just taken out "Hong Fan Jiu Chou" to see it, this letter would not be easy to be noticed by himself.

After Xiao Yu came out of the Great Wilderness, the Dao method advanced by leaps and bounds, and even Heng Changzi, who was about the same skill as his master, was easily defeated by himself, so in Xiao Yu's heart, the world's first secret method that shocked him at that time gradually faded away.

Xiao Yu carefully picked up the letter, put it on his lap, and gently smoothed the folds on the letter.

In any case, this is also the first exercise that I have relied on since I left the mountain.

After packing up his things and putting away the letters, Xiao Yu casually picked up the book "Hong Fan Jiuchou".

After listening to the words of the little queen, Xiao Yu carefully read this ancient book that made the white-bearded Uncle Chen lose his life by the moonlight in the carriage last night.

But from the point of view of it, the book is indeed as Jin Ju said, just talking about how to govern the country. Xiao Yu pondered for a long time, but he didn't find any special meaning in the book, and he didn't find any mechanism like a mezzanine.

However, the rubbings in the ancestral hall of the women's country, and the past of the basket are revealing the unusualness of this book.

Xiao Yu watched it several times, but still couldn't understand the meaning.

It seems that you have to go to the ancestral hall of the women's country to see it yourself before you can understand the mystery in this book.

Xiao Yu thought secretly in his heart.

Xiao Yu felt a little tired after closing the book, so he stopped thinking about it and went straight to bed.

…

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao."

"Bang bang bang!"

Xiao Yu woke up from the bed suddenly.

There was a knock at the door, and it seemed to be Wang Daozhen.

"Brother Xiao, just now Jin Ju came over and asked me to call you to get up, saying that we are about to leave after eating a little food."

After opening the door, Wang Daozhen outside the door couldn't wait to say a lot.

"Okay, Daozhen, you go first, I'll wash my face and go."

Xiao Yu noticed that it was already dark outside, and he didn't know how many hours he had slept.

Wang Daozhen said yes and ran down in a hurry.

"Alas, I'm really envious of Dao Zhen, carefree, and a mess." Xiao Yu stared at Wang Daozhen's back and muttered to himself.

"Brother Xiao, it's not very peaceful everywhere in Dasui now, let's take advantage of the darkness, these carriages are too eye-catching during the day."

At the dinner table, Jin Ju was still sitting with Xiao Yu.

"Brother Xiao, my senior brother and I planned a route in the afternoon. After we got out of Xiping County, we walked along the official road all the way, passing through Huining County, Anding County, Hechi County, and then followed Weishui to Daxing City. ”

Jin Ju said as he quickly pulled the dish into his bowl.

Wang Daozhen glared at Jin Ju dissatisfied, snatched a piece of fat from Jin Ju's bowl and put it into Xiao Yu's bowl.

Xiao Yu smiled and looked at his master.

After listening to Jin Ju's words, the Ferris monk nodded slightly, Xiao Yu understood, and nodded towards Jin Ju.

"Okay, since you all have an opinion, let's finish eating, hey, I haven't finished eating, what are you doing with it, hey, what about you..."

After eating, the group hit the road again.

The coachmen of the carriages were all women of the country. The women's country is located on the plateau, and the people in the country are not all often able to ride horses, but these few women who drive are very skilled, and it seems that these people are the elites of the women's country.

Not long after leaving Huangshui County, the group arrived in the endless wilderness of the wilderness.

It was the middle of the night, and the only sound was the rumbling of carriages and the occasional whisper or two, and the roars of wild beasts were no longer heard on either side of the road.

I guess they've all been eaten.

The carriage galloped along the predetermined route of Jinju, except for a few trips to nearby towns to buy food, the carriage almost never entered the town, and the group also passed through one place after another without danger.

Five or six days passed, and Xiao Yu and his party finally came to the bank of the Weishui River in Hechi County.

Hechi County is close to the hinterland of the Great Sui Dynasty, and is much richer than Xiping County, which is located on the border, and there are many fewer beggars on the roadside than elsewhere.

However, Xiao Yu still faintly felt the resentment hidden in the hearts of the people.

In the small town on the banks of the Weishui River, all the people walking on the streets are the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and the young and middle-aged seem to have disappeared for no reason. The crops in the fields in the distance looked a little barren because they were untended, and the shouting of the men in the shops seemed weak.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A group of sergeants on horseback galloped through the streets of the town, and the roadside stalls were led to people turning over on their backs, causing passers-by to scold one after another.

Xiao Yu and his entourage sat on a tea stall by the river, looking at the people in the town, and their hearts were full of emotion.

"These officers and soldiers!"

The shopkeeper on the side looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers galloping away, and gritted his teeth and said this.

Xiao Yu and the master glanced at each other when they heard this.

"Little second brother," as soon as Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, a piece of broken silver appeared in the palm of his hand, "Listen to your tone, these officers and soldiers seem to be like this often?" ”

The shopkeeper accepted the silver with a smile, "Alas, who says it's not." After the spring of this year, we didn't have a few days of peace here, first recruiting conscripts to dig canals, and now I heard that next year we will go to fight that Goguryeo, and we will have to conscript troops and grain. Alas, almost all the men in the town are dead, and it must not be me next. ”

The shopkeeper shook his head, sighed and walked away.

After listening to this, Xiao Yu looked up at the seemingly empty river, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

"Brother Xiao, here, here."

Not far away, Jin Ju brought a boat, and he was waving desperately at Xiao Yu at the bow of the boat.

"Alas!"

Xiao Yu also sighed, shook his head and left.

…

Follow Weishui all the way to the east, as long as there is no fork in the middle, it is estimated that it will be a day or two before you can reach the vicinity of Daxing City.

was about to arrive in Daxing City, and Xiao Yu was inexplicably nervous in his heart.

Even if it has been five years since he left Daxing City, I don't know what Daxing City, which was once full of flowers, has become now, will the Qinghua Daoist people wait for him in Xuandu Temple? Has Han Liyan returned to Daxing City?

Xiao Yu's heart suddenly became itchy and unbearable, and an indescribable feeling arose.

Anyway, I'm going to be in Daxing City in a day.

Xiao Yu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the quiet Weishui around and muttering to himself.
