Chapter 148: Beyond Peng City

Kong Sheng and Mu Changfeng opened the gate of the village and slipped away. The thief who opened the door had already been knocked out by Mu Changfeng.

The two took advantage of the night to run down the mountain. Mu Changfeng saw Kong Sheng carrying a Fang Tian painting halberd of more than two hundred catties walking like a fly, without falling, and couldn't help but glance back, secretly saying that Kong Sheng's divine power was actually better than that of Wei Huai Wang Xuanba in the past, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was the overlord reborn.

At the bottom of the mountain, it was almost dawn. The white belly of the fish at dawn hung all over the clouds in the eastern sky, and the two of them were restless and waiting in the dense forest on the side of the road, and when they saw Kong Sheng and the two coming down the mountain, they couldn't help but rush out of the horse and shouted in ecstasy: "Childe, Mu Daxia, come here!" ”

Kong Sheng took a breath, ran over, took the reins of the horse chasing the wind from Wu Xian's hand, turned over on the horse, and looked back at the Chemen Mountain shrouded in the morning mist.

The two escaped from the car gate cottage at night, and it turned out to be surprisingly smooth, and they did not alarm a single thief before and after, which made Kong Sheng have a trace of doubt in his heart.

At this moment, suddenly there was a thunderous sound of horses' hooves and a long neighing of horses from the mountain, Mu Changfeng's face changed, and he exclaimed: "Childe, it's not good!" The bandits are coming, let's go! ”

Kong Sheng let out a sigh of relief, turned his head, put Fang Tian's halberd across the horse, suddenly clamped the horse's belly, and shouted: "Go!" ”

A group of four people and four riders galloped along the official road leading to Pengcheng, Jiangbei. By the time Nie Chuchen and Nangong Wang led a group of bandits to chase down the mountain, Kong Sheng and the four had already disappeared.

Nangong Wang wrapped his cloak on the horse, in the middle of winter. The temperature in the early morning in the mountains is still extremely low, and he does not understand martial arts, he is a pure scholar, and his physique is weak. I can't stand the wind chill. He turned his head to look at Nie Chuchen, who was riding a heroic horse on a jujube red horse, and couldn't help but sigh: "Senior Sister Chuchen, have you really decided to go down the mountain alone to chase Senior Brother Kong?" ”

Nie Chuchen tightened the cloud-piercing bow on his back, hung the delicate quiver on his horse, and then hung a sword on his waist. She was still dressed in red and black, but looking at this posture, it seemed that she was going to travel far away.

Nie Chuchen chuckled. "Senior brother, this thief Kong Sheng is really lazy and shameless, since he refuses to agree to marry me. It's just a matter of secretly escaping down the mountain, and I even dare to take away the Fang Tian painting halberd left by my master, this is my dowry, how can I let him steal it? I'm going to have to catch up. Ask the thief in person. If you refuse to marry me, why do you want to take away my dowry token? It just doesn't make sense! ”

Nangong Wang sighed and warmed his hands and said, "Senior sister, since you have made up your mind, then my brother will not stop you." However, you don't know when you will return, there are many brothers in this cottage......"

Nie Chuchen looked at Nangong with a smile: "Senior brother, don't be hypocritical, the brother of this cottage will be handed over to you." I went for as little as three or five months. The long time is a year and a half...... Okay, senior brother, brothers, we will meet again in the future! ”

Nie Chuchen clenched his fists under Nangong Wang and the thieves on the horse, and then slammed the horse's belly, and the jujube red horse under her crotch spread its four hooves and rushed to the end of the official road with a long neigh.

Meng Zan and the other bandit leaders looked at Nie Chuchen's whereabouts with complicated eyes, and bowed down on the horse: "Congratulations to the big leader!" ”

Nangong Wang's deep gaze was withdrawn from the official road, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the brightness in his eyes became stronger and stronger.

Nie Chuchen is the kind of strange woman who is not emotional, and if she is emotional, she can't pull back nine cows, she deliberately let go of Kong Sheng's careful thoughts, how could Nangong Wang not see it. Seeing that Nie Chuchen gave up the car gate cottage that had been in business for a long time for Kong Sheng and his personal relationship, Nangong Wang didn't think so, but he was also in the middle of it.

Don't look at Meng Zan and the others are all Nie Chuchen's hardcore subordinates, but with Nangong Wang's scheming methods, I'm afraid it won't be long before this car door cottage will change the sky. As long as he gathers the hearts of the Chemen bandits and establishes absolute authority, he will decisively lead the crowd to abandon the Chemen Cottage, enter the Hongze Lake again, and accumulate strength in the lake.

Pengcheng, also known as Pengchengyi and Pengcheng County, was once the old name of the ancient capital Zhuolu. Pengchengyi has a long history, as early as four or five thousand years ago, it was the capital of the emperor, and Pengcheng in the Tang Dynasty was also the land of the tiger standing in the dragon pan, the first important town in Jiangbei, and now it is the governor of Jiangbei and Henan soldiers and horses of Henan Jiedu envoy Li Ju, the base camp and command center of the whole Henan to resist the attack of An Lushan rebels.

Therefore, compared with the bleak scene of ruins and beacons lingering in the north and south of Henan, Pengcheng presented in front of Kong Sheng and the four people in front of him has no signs of war, the city defense is tall and deep, the city gate is open, and the merchants and travelers who enter and exit the city gate on the spacious official road are endless.

The warm rays of the twilight sunset poured down, gilding the entire majestic city with a hazy golden light. Kong Sheng stopped on the side of the road, looking at the ochre-yellow ochre-yellow military flag fluttering high above the head of Pengcheng City, his eyes flashed with complex brilliance, and after a long time, he slowly chanted: "The dragon and the tiger roar the imperial state, which used to be the most upstream in the southeast. ”

Mu Changfeng praised softly on the side: "The son's exports are all splendid articles." ”

Kong Sheng smiled and lowered his voice: "Brother Mu, Pengcheng is the largest city in Jiangbei, and King Yu hoarded heavy troops and grain here, under the banner of fighting the rebels, in fact, to protect his personal power. Compared with the mourning and wilderness of Henan Province, this city is prosperous and calm, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. ”

Mu Changfeng nodded slowly: "Son, it's getting late, let's go into the city and find an inn to rest for the night, and then hurry tomorrow morning." ”

Since leaving the Chemen cottage, Kong Sheng and his entourage have been on the road day and night, rushing north, and people are sleepy and tired, so Mu Changfeng suggested going into the city to rest overnight. Kong Sheng was a little hesitant, he was extremely wary of Pengcheng and Pengcheng's king Li Ju. Although he is incognito at the moment, as a general guest, he may not attract the attention of King Yu's subordinates, but as soon as he enters Pengcheng, there is a danger that his corresponding identity will be exposed.

Kong Sheng's heart moved, and suddenly an uncomfortable strange feeling floated, he suddenly turned his head to look at the other side of the official road, only to see the simple teahouse sign on the opposite side wafting in the wind, only three or two pedestrians dressed as peddlers and pawns walked in with a smile.

The corner of his eyes swept over, swept past several merchant mounts at the teahouse's stable, especially a majestic jujube red horse, slowly retracted his gaze, and turned his head to look at Mu Changfeng and Wu Xianwuxie: "Brother Mu, two, Suiyang is close at hand, I don't want to make extraneous branches." There is a carriage and horse shop in front, let's go and eat something, and then hurry overnight after a short rest. ”

Hearing Kong Sheng's words, Mu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, but still nodded. He agreed, and although the two of them were depressed, they could only listen.

There is a carriage and horse shop outside the city, which is a place for "inferior people" such as dealers and pawns to rest, the smell is stinking, the conditions are bad, and of course the price is also low, in terms of Kong Sheng's identity as a four, it is not suitable to stay in this kind of big car shop, but Kong Sheng is alarmed, and he does not want to enter the city, so he can only act expediently.

At this moment, there was a sudden crisp sound of gongs opening the way at the city gate, and then there was a mighty shout of the officials and soldiers: "Pedestrians from all walks of life quickly retreat!" (To be continued.) )
