Chapter Seventy-Three: Pheasant
"Big brother, it seems that this matter is inseparable from the Yuan family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After interrogating everyone, Guo Jia said to Xin Yue.
Xin Yue was silent for a while, and then said: "This can't be concluded like this, maybe there are other hidden secrets, after all, if the Yuan family wants to rob and kill us, they won't just send such a few people." After thinking about it, he continued: "If it is really related to the Yuan family, then it must be someone in the Yuan family who acted without authorization, otherwise it would not be just these people." ”
In fact, Xin Yue was right, these people were related to the Yuan family, but it was Yuan Shao who acted privately. Not only that, Yuan Feng, the head of the Yuan family, also planned to send the family soldiers trained at home to rob and kill Xin Yue and his party, but in the end, Yuan Shao actually acted privately and had hired someone to attack Xin Yue. Yuan Feng is not like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the two of them do things without going through their brains, originally according to his arrangement, they planned to send more than 100 hardcover soldiers to rob and kill them head-on, in his mind, even if Xin Yue's martial arts are high at that time, it will be difficult to escape the siege and killing of these family soldiers.
But the bad thing is that Yuan Shao's unauthorized actions, Yuan Shao's actions startled the snake, if Yuan Feng sent his soldiers to rob and kill again, then no matter how much he covered up, people would inevitably find out about the Yuan family, so Yuan Feng could only scold Yuan Shao and cancel the action against Xin Yue.
Xin Yue didn't know that it was because of these people's actions tonight that they escaped a catastrophe, although Yuan Feng still underestimated Xin Yue's force, even if he sent his own soldiers, he might not be able to kill Xin Yue, you must know that Xin Yue can easily solve the attack and kill of a well-trained army even in an environment like the palace, and even if it takes a little effort for Xin Yue, these more than 100 soldiers will not be in danger of life.
However, don't forget that Xin Yue is not alone now, but with a large group of ordinary people, and even many women, children and children, I am afraid that most of these people will die in the chaos of the war.
Therefore, Xin Yue and the others really have to thank Yuan Shao and thank these unprofessional "professional killers" tonight, but at this moment, even if Xin Yue has a few heads, it is impossible for him to know everything in the world like God, and he doesn't know that they have escaped a greater crisis because of this sneak attack.
"No matter what, tomorrow we will hand over these people to the government, it can be regarded as a warning to the murderer behind the scenes, tonight the failure of these people spreads, I believe that no one will come later."
In the end, Xin Yue could only arrange to hand over these people to the government to deal with, as for whether it was someone sent by the Yuan family, even if Xin Yue was confirmed at this moment, it was impossible to say that he would turn around and go back to Luoyang to find the Yuan family's theory, and at present, returning to Qingzhou was the most important, as long as he could develop and grow his strength in Qingzhou, then all conspiracies were just paper tigers in the face of absolute strength.
Nothing to say all night......
……
The next morning, everyone got up early, but looking at everyone's appearance, it was obvious that some of them had not slept well due to the events of last night, and they were listless.
Xin Yue could only order these people who had not slept well to continue to rest, and Xin Yue took some other people to transport the people who set fire last night to the official mansion, and the reason why they used the luck was naturally because the seven people were all broken legs by Xin Yue, so they had no choice but to find an ox cart with the help of the shopkeeper and transport a few people to the official mansion in the town with an ox cart.
Because he didn't want to delay time, Xin Yue directly reported his identity, and after a while, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly walking out with the support of a group of people.
"I didn't expect the general to come from afar, it was the subordinate who was negligent, please be inside the general!" To put it mildly, in fact, Xin Yue's real official position is the county magistrate, and it is even lower than the big-bellied county order in front of him, but Xin Yue has the title of general, and it is also sealed by the emperor himself, although he did not send soldiers to Xin Yue, but he can form an army by himself, and he can be said to be a "opposition" general with real power. Therefore, when the big-bellied county commander saw Xin Yue, he naturally wanted to curry favor.
But where did Xin Yue have the time to drink and eat with him, and he had to go back and hurry on the road.
So Xin Yue said to the big-bellied county order: "My lord doesn't have to be like this, I can't delay because I need to hurry, so I can only trouble." ”
As soon as Xin Yue said, the county order knew what to do, so he quickly ordered the people below to reduce various procedures, and in less than a moment, this case was handed over to the government.
Xin Yue didn't wait for how this big-bellied county magistrate would judge this case, after all, these people were just some small people, and the result would not have much impact on Xin Yue, so he said goodbye.
Back at the inn, Xin Yue took Xu Chu and Guo Jia and the others, and before finishing the room, he immediately left on the road.
The reason why he left so quickly, Xin Yue thought that when the others paid attention to the arson, he would throw off those eyeliners, so that everyone's journey would be safer.
Sure enough, after a few days, Xin Yue found that he no longer had eyeliner to follow, thinking that it was because after the arson incident, Luoyang's forces did not want to attract Xin Yue's attention and misunderstanding, plus Xin Yue and others were getting farther and farther away from Luoyang, so they gradually gave up following Xin Yue.
In the scorching summer, Xin Yue and his party rested in the woods.
Because the weather was too hot, Xin Yue and the others rushed in the morning and afternoon, and at noon they found some shady places to rest.
"Brother Xin Yue, what do you think we hit?"
When Xin Yue was enjoying the coolness in the shade of the tree, Guo Jia's happy voice suddenly came from a distance, which made Xin Yue a little curious.
followed the sound to the place where Guo Jia and the others came, and found that it was Guo Jia, a kid who couldn't sit still and followed Xu Chu and them to hunt.
In order to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, Xin Yue and the others chose relatively secluded paths, of course, the distance was much shorter. At first, everyone disagreed, after all, it is easy to get lost in this way, you must know that most of the area in this era is primeval forest, although there are some small roads taken by locals, but if there is no familiar person to lead, it is very easy to get lost and trapped in the mountains and forests.
And Xin Yue, but a jungle expert, has a hand in these natures, what through the density of leaves, the direction of branches, and the distribution of moss, etc., to accurately judge the direction, in combination with the mountains and many other knowledge, as long as you don't encounter that extremely complex environment, it is almost impossible to get lost.
Moreover, Xin Yue also taught everyone how to obtain food and edible water in the jungle, so that everyone could follow the path without getting lost or encountering other dangers.
Of course, another main reason why Xin Yue dared to take such a mountain and forest trail with so many people is that the distance from Luoyang to Qingzhou is relatively simple in this section of Yanzhou and Jizhou, and these areas have always been relatively developed areas in the land of China, and the population distribution is still relatively dense, so as long as you don't deliberately go to the deep mountains where no one is around, there will be no danger in taking a detour of the path.
"What did you hit, and you were so happy?" Xin Yue came to everyone and asked with some curiosity.
"Brother Xin Yue, here." Guo Jia beckoned to Xin Yue, and then took Xin Yue to a tree root, only to see several bird-like guys placed under the root, but they were relatively large.
Xin Yue's eyes lit up, yes, it turned out to be a pheasant, and one of them was particularly conspicuous, with gorgeous plumage, brass-colored on the top of the head, slightly white eyebrow lines on both sides, bare around the eyes, black throat and back of the neck, bright purple-green neck, with an obvious white neck ring, golden yellow in front of the back, chestnut red in the back, and olive green in the back, with black and white markings; Pure blue-gray on the waist, turning chestnut backwards; thorax metallic copper-red with purple; The tail feathers are long, the tail feathers are yellowish-brown in the center, purple chestnut on both sides, and have horizontal spots, Xin Yue recognized this as a rooster at a glance, which is very beautiful. The rest are a few hens, small in size and dull in color, which are so inconspicuous compared to the cocks.
Xin Yue knows that pheasant is not only delicate and delicious, but also has medicinal value, "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: pheasant replenishes qi and blood, eats it intelligently, is brave and fat, stops diarrhea and dysentery, except for long-term illness and wheezing of the five organs.
"Where did you find it?" Xin Yue asked Guo Jia happily.
"We found it on the opposite hillside, or did I ask Brother Xu to weave a simple net with vines, and then attract them with a little food, and while they were eating, we pulled the vines in the distance, and the net was caught." Guo Jia happily told Xin Yue about his great deeds, these days Xin Yue taught everyone a variety of hunting methods, Guo Jia is rich in knowledge, learning naturally fast, it didn't take long to know innovation.
Xin Yue heard the process of catching pheasants, and his brain couldn't help but have black lines, this method and the method of catching birds in the yard when he was a child in his previous life are simply one is pirated and one is genuine, but it is difficult to distinguish who is pirated and who is genuine, after all, it is the Eastern Han Dynasty at this time, and Guo Jia also came up with it himself!
"Brother Xin Yue, what's wrong?" Guo Jia couldn't help but ask when he noticed Xin Yue's strangeness.
"Nothing!" Xin Yue hurriedly changed the subject, "This pheasant meat is tender and delicious, and I happen to know a method that is not only simple but also very delicious, so I will make these pheasants today." ”
"Great!" As soon as Guo Jia heard that Xin Yue was going to do it himself, he immediately began to drool, because Xin Yue had done it for everyone a few days ago, and the taste was ......
