The twilight is four, the last touch of the slanting sun is still nostalgically caressing the horizon, the afterglow of the sunset dyes the corner of the sky, and the sky and the sea are blended together, shining. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The blood-red sunset, slowly sinking in the scattered clouds, cast the rose-colored slanting light on the horizon, flickering uncertainly, making the whole land look blood-colored.

A neat and uniform army appeared in the dusk with steps, Wang Shuo waved his hand, and the team immediately stopped.

The autumn wind swept away, blowing up the dust on the ground, hitting Wang Shuo's face, and the free scarf on his bun flew with the wind, if it wasn't for the blood armor on his body and the bloody knife in his hand, the first impression must have been that he was a scholar.

Tu Master Bo, who was also a scholar, asked curiously: "Wang Tingchang's scarf is really magical, and it looks like it has an elegant and carefree temperament. ”

The free scarf, also known as the lotus leaf scarf, was popular in the Song Dynasty and can be used by both men and women. Wrap a towel strap around the top of your head, and the excessively long towel strap hangs down your back, giving you a sense of leisurely contentment.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, celebrities and gentlemen are wearing a scarf, giving people a kind of knowledgeable taste, compared to the scarf seems to be less than the taste, the master of the painting is thin and effective imitation of the meaning, will be curious to ask.

"I don't like to wear hats, so sometimes I can't get along with my hair, but then I happened to find this kind of wrapping in casual play, and I thought it was good, so I used it."

Even if it is plagiarism, Wang Shuo has to apply for a patent by himself, after all, he is the first person to use the Xiaoyao towel in this era.

"Pavilion Chief Wang even knows a little bit about strange tricks, what a genius!"

In ancient times, people were collectively referred to as strange and obscene things that were made by inventions, referring to skills and products that were too ingenious and useless.

Wang Shuo looked at the endless earth plains around him, and there was smoke curling up in the dimness, and asked, "Is this the region?" ”

Tu Zhubo said with some uncertainty: "It should be this area, about ten miles in radius." ”

The first half of the sentence is good to listen to Wang Shuo's ears, but the second half of the sentence is simply playing Wang Shuo!

Ten miles away, how to find this!

Wang Shuo said strangely: "Is Master Tu Bo serious?" ”

Tu Zhubo was also very helpless, "That group of bandits is cunning, and they never leave a trace in their work, and we can only roughly judge the area, and we don't know where the specific location is." ”

The range of ten miles is inevitably too wide, where is this a rough judgment, it is almost to the boundary of Dongwu County, there is no judgment at all.

Wang Shuo began to hate the system for often giving him some cheating tasks, especially this kind of mandatory task, which he couldn't accept yet.

Wang Shuo had no choice but to take one step at a time, looking at the smoke in the distance and said, "In order to prevent everyone from sleeping in the wilderness, let's go find the foot of a small village." ”

Tu Zhubo emphasized again: "Wang Tingchang must remember not to leak his mouth, we are not here to suppress bandits, but an escort team to escort goods. ”

"Understood."

Wang Shuo is not stupid, he already knows that bandits are good at hiding their tracks, and there will definitely be spies outside to find out the news.

The team drove all the way to the cooking smoke, and when they reached their destination, they found that it was a very dilapidated village.

The whole village is scattered with more than 20 families, the houses are crooked, and at first glance they are in disrepair, and no one even cares about the broken fence at the entrance of the village.

The arrival of Wang Shuo and his party alarmed this small village that had survived in the troubled times, and an old man in gray with a patch on his body greeted him with the support of two young people.

"Plop~" With a sound, the gray-clothed old man knelt in front of Wang Shuo with two young people, "Ladies and gentlemen, the village is really out of food, please let us go." ”

"Uncle, what are you doing here, we don't want food."

Wang Shuo hurriedly helped up a few people, "We are just an escort team to escort the goods, not an official, we plan to spend the night here, so as not to sleep in the wilderness, I hope the old man will accept his personal feelings." ”

"It turns out that he is not selling grain, so let's go into the village."

Hearing that he was not here to collect grain, the old man in gray immediately happily let Wang Shuo and others into the village, and prepared a few abandoned huts for Wang Shuo and his group.

Some houses have broken walls, and some houses lack tiled roofs, but it's better than being out in the wilderness.

The bonfire was lit, and the big guys picked up the dry food and nibbled on it, Wang Shuo bit off half of the bread in one bite, and asked Tu Zhubo beside him: "What did the village chief mean by what he said just now, do officers and soldiers often collect grain?" ”

Tu Zhu Bo put down the cake melancholy, and said abruptly: "The world is in chaos, the consumption of materials is serious, and the imperial court is empty, so the imperial court ordered to ask for money and food from the people, fortunately, the Yellow Turban thief has been destroyed, and the thief Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang have all been eliminated, and the world is peaceful after all, and the people will be able to live a stable life after a while. ”

"I don't think so, the yellow turban thieves swept the world, although the three brothers Zhang Jiao died, but the remnants are still deeply harmed, there is no chance that there will be any Li Jiao and Huang Jiao, the world will only be more chaotic."

Tu Zhubo disagreed with Wang Shuo's point of view, "The Yellow Turban thief was originally a plate of loose sand, and now that the thief capital is dead, it is impossible for Yu Sin to make any big waves, Wang Tingchang is too worried." ”

Wang Shuo smiled far-fetched, and did not explain, Tu Zhubo has some talent, but his talent is limited, and he is obviously not good at this kind of overall situation, if it is a ghost talent, Wolong and the like, he will definitely see through the future pattern at a glance.

Changing the topic and asking: "Just now Master Tu said that the imperial court asked the people for money and food, why didn't such a situation happen in Wangliu Town?" ”

This is also the reason why Wang Shuo doesn't know about this kind of thing, Wangliu Town has been developing steadily, and he has never heard of the news that the imperial court wants money.

If there was, Zhou Teng would have wanted to report it himself.

"Pavilion Chief Wang, this is a knowingly questioned, with the relationship between Pavilion Chief Wang and Han County Ling, there is no reason why he would ask for something in Liuzhen."

After doing it for a long time, he still stained the light of his cheap father-in-law, thinking about his father-in-law Han Tong, who was also heartbroken for Wang Shuo, and he had to help Wang Shuo in everything.

Wang Shuo made up his mind that after the matter in his hand was completed, it was time to bring some small gifts and Li'er to visit Han Tong, lest Han Dong say behind his back that he had abducted his daughter and would not visit him.

In the midst of the chat, the sky was getting dark, the sunset was falling, the sky and the earth were plunged into darkness, and Fang Junyan entered the house from pushing the door, his body was wet, and he was afraid of hitting the clothes on his body and said: "It's really unlucky, it actually rained when I practiced archery, so I had to put it on hold tonight." ”

Obifang likes to practice archery when it is just dark, and he feels that improving his acuity in a dark environment has a great effect on improving accuracy.

Wang Shuo doesn't comment on this, anyway, if you ask a person like Wang Shuo who can't shoot within ten meters in broad daylight to shoot arrows in the night, it's no different from being blindfolded.

Wang Shuo smiled: "Come and bake the fire, there are still a few pieces of dough here." ”

When I got up and came to the door, there was a hazy drizzle falling in the dark night sky, and the cool beating on my face gave people a very comfortable feeling.
