Chapter 303: Military Government and People's Livelihood (14)

"Okay, that's it."

After making up their minds, the group slowly descended the mountain and returned to Yuelai Restaurant the same way.

...........

The next day, Wang Xu and his entourage set off again and headed for Nandu.

"Wheels! Wheel! ”

The wheels turned, crushed to the ground, and squeaked.

On the wide official road, it is cold and desolate, and there is no trace.

Wang Xu and others traveled all the way. Wang Xu and Yan Zheng rode in a carriage, and Zhang Meng and Qin Shuang rode their horses and followed around the carriage to protect the safety of Wang Xu and Yan Zheng. As for the four warriors of the Yulin Army, they were left behind in Guanshan; A group of four people rushed non-stop, and finally arrived in a small city dozens of miles away from the southern capital a few days later and entered the boundary of the southern capital.

This small town is called Umino, and it is famous in Nandu.

Haiye Castle, which is not large, but there is not a single common people here, is the largest granary in the two counties of Huling, and it is said that there are 300,000 elite soldiers stationed there.

Not only that, Haiye's geographical location is also very important, he has powerful and majestic mountains on his left and right, followed by the Nandu Wangcheng, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack, guarding the main road to the southern capital from the west, in other words, if Wang Xu wants to attack Hu Ling in the future, this Haiye City must be captured, otherwise, everything is in vain.

This city used to be made up of more than 100,000 people, but since Hu Ling came, the people were driven away, and Haiye Castle became a famous military town! ~

"Ahh

In the carriage, Yan Zheng suddenly sneezed; Yan Zheng's body is thin and weak, and he has been in a hurry for days to blow the sun, which is obviously illuminated.

Qin Shuang clamped the horse's belly, shouted twice, rode his horse to Wang Xu's carriage, his head was close to the window of the carriage, and said softly: "Lord, it is dark now. Fearing that it would rain, we should find a place to settle down as soon as possible, so that we would not be drenched in the wilderness after dark. ”

Wang Xu nodded. Ordered: "General Qin, there is Zhang Meng to protect my safety, don't worry." You immediately ride your horse and check your surroundings to see if there are any places to stay. ”

"No!"

Qin Shuang replied with his fists clenched, and rode his horse towards the official road in front of him.

"Mr. Yan. Are you okay. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'm fine."

.........

Yan is a famous scholar in Nanjun, but he has not returned to Nanjun for a long time to be unknown, in fact, he is a rare talent, otherwise he would not stand out when he was a scribe, Wang Xu attaches great importance to it.

Nowadays, Wang Xujun 3 has too few generals who can take charge alone, and they can only implement auxiliary methods such as the administrative committee and military divisions, which can play a very good role no matter what kind of army they put in. If there is a correct speech, Zhang Meng can lead the troops to fight in the future.

About half an hour later, Qin Shuang rode his horse back. He arched his hand and said, "My lord, we have found a deserted post station ahead, let's settle down there." ”

On the carriage, Wang Xu's voice came: "Well, hurry up, it's not easy to hurry after dark." ”

"No!"

Qin Shuang agreed, and asked the groom driving to speed up and go to the abandoned post station.

All the way. It was getting dark. After nightfall, the cold wind blows. The carriage ran over the road and ran through it very quickly. It didn't take long before it stopped outside the inn.

Qin Shuang turned over and dismounted, and said, "Lord, it's already here." ”

Wang Xu hummed, got out of the carriage, and Yan Zheng also stepped out of the carriage. followed Wang Xu and walked to the post station. However, at the door of the dilapidated house of the inn, there stood two soldiers in armor.

Two soldiers, armed with swords at their waists, stood in the doorway with their heads held high, blocking their way in.

Wang Xu asked, "Qin Shuang, when you came to inquire about the situation, did you find anyone?" ”

Qin Shuang shook his head and said, "Lord, when I came here in the end, I didn't find anyone coming, these people should have just arrived at the post station and rested at the post station. ”

Wang Xu nodded and said, "That's good, since it's abandoned, you go and discuss, let's stay here for one night." ”

"No!"

Qin Shuang strode forward, but saw the two soldiers standing at the door suddenly pull out their sabers at their waists, and the two swords crossed each other, blocking Qin Shuang's way, and said, "There are already people here, you go back and find a place to stay again." Get out of here, or don't blame us for hurting you. ”

Qin Shuang smiled and said, "Two, we only need to stay overnight for one night, and ask the two of you to go and report it." ”

The two soldiers shook their heads and said in unison: "No, you leave quickly, don't mess around here." ”

Qin Shuang's dark face suddenly became gloomy, and he snorted: "I have good words to spend the night, but you don't know what to do, since this is the case, don't blame a certain family for being ruthless and hurting the two of you." ”

Inside the inn, a bonfire burned, dispelling the cold of the house.

In an abandoned house, two old men sit.

The old man sitting on the left side was sitting in a precarious position, wearing a black cotton robe. He has a Chinese face, bright eyes, blazing spirit, the gray bun on his head is meticulously combed, and the three long strands of long beard under his chin are swaying slightly, sitting in the room, he has an extraordinary bearing.

On the contrary, the old man sitting on the right side smiled and showed a kind smile.

He was wearing a brown robe, sitting cross-legged, and did not have the serious expression of the old man on the left, but revealed a casual feeling, which made people feel very reckless.

The sound from outside the house reached the ears of the old man on the left, he looked up at the young man sitting at the door of the house, and said, "Kang'an, there is a noise outside the house, you go and see what is going on outside." ”

"No!"

The middle-aged man looked humble, giving people a sense of rules.

He stood up abruptly, reached out and picked up the large knife that had been placed beside him, and walked out of the room.

The middle-aged man's big knife was nine feet long, close to one zhang, and the blade was sharp, revealing a cold killing intent. The middle-aged man strutted with his head held high, picked up the big knife and walked out. He walked to the gate, stood upright, and slammed the hilt of his hand to the ground, thudging it into the ground.

In an instant, a powerful momentum emanated from Nianren's body, making Qin Shuangdu stunned.

Master!

This was Qin Shuang's first feeling, and when he looked at the young man carefully, he saw that he looked like a tiger, his eyes flashed, and his momentum was compelling, which made people dare not despise him.

The middle-aged man stood at the door of the house with his head held high with a big knife in his hand, as if a majestic mountain stood at the door, making it difficult for people to approach. The middle-aged man's gaze stayed on Qin Shuang, and said, "A few people, there are two distinguished guests from the post station, don't disturb them, please return a few of them." ”

The tone is very light, but it exudes a taste that cannot be refused.

Qin Shuang's face was a little ugly.

He was kind at first, but he was stopped by the small soldiers, and now there is a person who can take charge, but as soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, he turned him away, which made Qin Shuang angry.

He turned his heart across and shouted: "The road is facing the sky, and each side is halfway, and the post station is abandoned and in disrepair, and no one lives in it." An hour ago, when I came to investigate, there was no one there. Although you came first and lived in the post station, but such a large post station did not allow pedestrians to stay overnight, what is the reason, get out of the way. (To be continued.) )
