Chapter 529: Overnight in Xiao Li Village
Non-stop, dusty, Yang Yi and dozens of other horsemen rushed out of the Tongzhou territory.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Yi and others did not take the official road, but tried to take some remote paths.
Before leaving, Yang Yi sent people to Fanhua Valley to send a message, so that the people of Fanhua Valley would take the first step, and the two sides would converge in Songjia Village at the foot of Jiuxiao Mountain.
There was no obstacle all the way, and Yang Yi and the others quickly entered the territory of Fengzhou Mansion.
Fengzhou, the left side of the Xiangshan Mountains, the right side and the imperial capital across the broad Xiangjiang River Basin, the terrain is mostly loess high mountains, the land is relatively barren, is the imperial capital Yang Jie and the fierce Di people to create a buffer between each other.
Because of this, the war broke out on the land of the Central Plains, but Fengzhou Mansion was temporarily peaceful, but because of this, Yang Jie and the fierce Di people would not allow Fengzhou to develop too strong and get out of the control of both sides.
Fengzhou Thorn History, Bowu Marquis Yang Kai, after the Daguang royal family, although this person has no ambitions, he knows the truth of surviving in the cracks, and the left and right sources have also allowed the inconspicuous place of Fengzhou to survive.
The topographical characteristics of Fengzhou are very similar to the loess plateau in Yang Yi's previous life, the mountains are high and the wood is high, and at a glance except for the cloudless blue sky, it is a vast loess land.
However, of course, Yang Yi didn't have the heart to appreciate the lofty scenery of this loess high slope, except for eating a few mouthfuls of dry food after resting the horse, almost all the rest of the time was riding horses and galloping, only to make everyone covered in dust and full of mud and sand.
"Phew! Damn, this strange place, I didn't say it was raining, and eating yellow mud would make Lao Tzu full! Monkey Jian'er followed Yang Yi and galloped, spitting out the yellow mud in his mouth while complaining.
Hu Shou next to him said loudly: "But don't rain, as soon as it rains, the loess on the road will all turn into yellow mud, and the sticky horse legs can't be lifted." ”
"Childe! Shall we find a place to rest? "Monkey Jian'er really couldn't bear it, and he just felt that his butt was almost glued to the horse's back.
Seeing that Yang Yi ignored him, Monkey Jian'er gave Hu Shou a look, Hu Shou smiled helplessly and said: "Childe, I have been running for three hours, and the horse's legs are trembling and unstable when I run again." ”
Yang Yi slowed down, looked up, and pointed to a high ramp in front of him: "Go to the mountain in front." ”
"Okay!" Monkey Jian'er was overjoyed, turned around and said, "Everyone work hard, you can rest in front!" ”
Half an hour later, everyone finally rushed up to the higher loess mountain, turned over and dismounted, sat down on the ground, untied the water bag from their waists, and devoured the dry food.
Yang Yi drank two sips of water and walked to a big rock in front of the mountain, looked around with a telescope, and looked around with a wide range of yellow water.
A bean bag dressed in black stepped forward, handed Yang Yi a piece of naan and said, "The map shows that there is a county town forty miles away, do you want to go in?" ”
Yang Yi took the naan cake and took a bite, and said, "You can't enter the city, in case you attract the attention of the Fengzhou army, you will have to delay time." ”
"But we don't have much water or food, and we need supplies." Bean bun condensation.
"Then find a village and spend more silver." Yang Yidao.
Fengzhou last year in a great drought, the shortage of food among the people, Yang Yi and their way to find food and water have really taken a lot of effort, ordinary people are unwilling to sell their rations to others, and Yang Yi does not allow his subordinates to rob and rob, everyone can only spend a lot of silver to buy those naan cakes that they don't even look at on weekdays.
After a short rest, the group had to continue on their way, and they had to find a place to shelter from the wind and sand for the night before dark.
After going forward for another two hours, seeing that night was falling and the sky was already dark, the bean bag who was exploring the way finally found a small village more than ten miles ahead.
The people were overjoyed and hurried to the village.
When they arrived at the local area, everyone knew that the small village mentioned by Doubao was really small, and in a small ravine, there were more than a dozen low-rise mud-walled houses, and at first glance it was a very poor place.
However, for Yang Yi and others, who have been sleeping in the wilderness for several days in a row, these simple houses are simply more refreshing than the most luxurious restaurants in Chengzhou Mansion.
I don't know if the folk customs here are simple and enthusiastic, or the bag of bean bags thrown in the hand of the silver has played a role, this villager called Xiaolizhuang is particularly enthusiastic, and the village chief even took out the only piece of fat bacon in the whole village from the mountain cellar and cooked a large pot of wild vegetables to show their hospitality.
Although the taste of bacon stew and wild vegetables is very bad, for Yang Yi and others, who have been gnawing dry food for several days, a bowl of tasteless hot soup is simply the most delicious delicacy in the world.
The village chief also seems to be a relatively discerning person, although he saw that Yang Yi's group of generous "merchants" had an extraordinary identity, but he did not interrogate more.
After Yang Yi and the others finished eating, the village chief cleaned up all the houses next to his family, and he took his wife to the villagers' houses in the east of the village to squeeze in.
The sleepy Yang Yi simply cleaned up and went into the house to rest, of course, before that, it was necessary to arrange a night sentry.
Although the villagers of Xiaolizhuang seem to be the same on the surface, they are a group of honest and simple croppers, but Yang Yi and others can be regarded as coming over in the wind and rain, and they know that the biggest enemy of human failure is carelessness.
The post was divided into two waves, the first half of the night was guarded by Hu Shou and his generals, and the second half of the night was guarded by Doubao and more than a dozen dark messengers.
Everything was arranged, Yang Yi fell on the bed and fell asleep, a few days of running made his body and spirit extremely tired, this sleep was heavy and fragrant, and he didn't even dream.
"Your Highness...... Wake up, Your Highness! ”
Yang Yi once again confirmed that the monkey's voice was very difficult to hear, especially when he was sleeping Zhengxiang, he couldn't wait to grab the socks stuffed in his shoes to block the monkey's mouth!
Yang Yi opened his eyes in annoyance, lifted his head from the pillow, and suddenly became more than half refreshed, because he found that it was still pitch black outside the window, the moonlight shone through the window in front of the bed, and the stars in the sky were still twinkling.
It is impossible to wake up without dawn, unless there is a critical situation.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yiqiang cheered himself up, after all, everyone is in a different place, and if they are not careful, they may be wiped out.
"Your Highness." Monkey Jian'er whispered, "We may be exposed!" ”
Yang Yi rolled over from the bed with a "whoosh", quickly put on his clothes, and said condensedly: "Speak clearly!" ”
Monkey Jian'er said with a solemn face: "There are many people coming to the village, all with weapons, and they are probably coming for us!" ”
