Section 197 Repentance

(6.24 2nd Update)

Waiting for the passage of time, it is always crawling slowly, and the showers after the thunderstorm douse the irritable mood. The soldiers cheering outside the tent swept away the gloom of bitterness and enjoyed the baptism of rebirth.

"It's raining! The situation of decadence will be reversed in a moment. ”

The cheers began to disperse from all directions, and the soldiers raised their heads to the sky and roared, venting the return of the beast.

"Young Master, it seems that you can alleviate some troubles again, what are your plans next?"

"Of course, it's another visit to the city of Witch Rossa, an open provocation! But before I do that, I want to go to the nearby villages, recruit hooligans, and create chaos about the influx of refugees into the imperial capital. As for you, take my place in my mission here. ”

Si Qi against the bridge of his nose, calculating the complex process, can be within the scope of control.

"Okay, I'm waiting for the young master's return, but there is a very tricky problem, that is, the scarce money and the ransom extortion are all in the post station in the city."

"Simple villagers, don't take care of those vulgar substances, do they?"

Si Qi smiled, stood outside the tent, bid farewell to me and Xiao Yi, and started a new journey.

"Bell, it seems a little unkind to say goodbye without saying goodbye, will the general be angry?"

"Of course not, Siqi's deception is more exciting, and it will create a more wonderful night."

Riding a war horse and fleeing from the flames of war, it galloped more vigorously, and the war also left it with deep fear.

"In those years, Bell seems to have changed a lot, and that is all due to Mr. Siqi's teachings, right?"

"Perhaps, there are also some comprehensions fused in the bloodline, although the outside world is always afraid of the so-called coldness."

"But the days with Bell were wonderful! More freedom than life in captivity in the city! ”

The wind blew Xiao Yi's voice, and he dragged his tail like that, continuing on the bumpy path.

The strange weather, escaping from the area of the camp, only clouds remained, and it could not catch up with the invasion of the showers.

"Bell, right there, smoke wafting from the cooking!"

Slowing down the pace, slowly walking into the calm village, the figure seemed to be like air, ignored, but fortunately not hostile.

Helping Xiao Yi jump off the war horse, he took the reins and stepped into this idle area, not daring to break some kind of tranquility wantonly.

"Hehe, boy, don't be so restrained, relax your mind."

An old man carrying a farm tool leans sideways into the wide avenue, unrestrained and free to extend.

"Looking at the two delicately dressed, they must be lost aristocrats. My name is Ganti and I am the farmer of this village. ”

The introduction of the old man to eliminate hostility is a simple villager, and it is all between the lines.

"Hello, may I ask what kind of place this is?"

"The deserted ancient town, there have been no foreign guests for a long time. If you don't dislike it, you can come to my house to chat, and you can also let me do the friendship of landlords. ”

The old man's invitation also sounded natural, and there was no ambiguity for the target.

"Then I'm going to bother you!"

Follow the footsteps of the old man, through a small forest, is the quaint village.

"Old woman, I'm back, prepare two more plates, there are guests!"

The old man also went into the cabin, cooked dinner, and after a while, he finished the operation and placed it on the stone table outside, which was very simple crops, corn, and vegetables.

"In the countryside, there are no precious items, please bear with me!"

"We should be grateful to both of us for being able to take us in."

The old lady put her pistle on the old man's shoulder, and her eyes exchanged emotions.

"Look at people, it's also elopement, reminds me that I followed you when I was young, and I was still disgusted by you."

"You are not ashamed in front of outsiders, you two, please don't mind the words of this crazy woman."

Intimate contact can be regarded as a long-cultivated emotion, Xiao Yi took my arm and swore sovereignty.

"Look at you, the girls are embarrassed! Are you the nobles of that city? ”

"Oh, we are merchants from the imperial capital, and we rushed to Wuluosha City to do business, but we were robbed by the rogues on the road, and we fell here after struggling."

The story compiled by Xiao Yi is so simple that there are no flaws, and the haunting of bandits is always an unavoidable factor.

"I see, old woman, be careful, or one day the thieves will break in and tie you up!"

"Ah, there are still people who have taken a fancy to me, it's just blind, don't worry! But the neighborhood has been stable, when will there be more bandits? ”

The old lady inadvertently broke the lie, but she failed to verify it, only doubted.

"Oh, they are dressed in armor, as if they were a defeated army, plundering property nearby!"

"What? These evil beasts dare to be so rampant, please wait a moment, I will go to inform the patriarch and ask him to decide. ”

The old man threw down the corn in his hand and hurried out the door, while Xiao Yi winked at me and nibbled on the corn, hinting at a successful trick.

"Alas, another turmoil! I didn't expect what happened ten years ago to happen again, an unstable era. ”

The old lady sighed, chewing the food with difficulty, and expressed the resentment in her heart.

"Ten years ago? What kind of story is that, can you tell me about it? ”

Xiao Yi didn't give up, coquettishly took the information, of course, the old lady didn't care.

"Also, according to the age of the two of them, they were still swaddling at that time! At that time, it was also a prosperous city, controlling the passage of trade between the east and the west. The old man and I eloped here to earn money to support our family. The first few years were not bad, and I also accumulated a lot of wealth and built a house. But it was the political turmoil, because the governor of the city was loyal to the old nobles, and after the defeat, he implicated this place and became a scorched earth, and we who were in the mountains returned to our hometown after the war subsided. ”

"Oh, didn't you rebuild your home after that?"

"At that time, many people were displaced, and they were worried that the war would come again, and they all ran away, and it could only be on the scale it is now. I didn't expect that today, I would repeat the past again. ”

The sound of chaotic footsteps broke into the courtyard. An old man with gray hair, panting, wanting to say something but not having the extra breath to speak.

"Both, is it true that Ganti said that you rubbed shoulders with defeated soldiers?"

A young man was in a hurry to verify the specific situation on behalf of the old man.

"Yes, they're wandering around the area, and they are expected to invade the village soon!"

"Sure enough, this is a cursed land, and it is always in danger!"

The old crowd fell to their knees, praying for the protection of the mountain god, more like a comical struggle.

"What are you doing! Hurry up, not necessarily! ”

The old man, who had regained his breath, scolded the cowardly people and refused to accept sanctions.

"But Patriarch, this is replicating the crisis of ten years ago, how do we escape? Hurry up and migrate! ”

The conservative forces around him dissuaded the blind patriarchs, and the threat of reviving the old story only made him more worried.

"Wait, let's verify the truth of the matter first, maybe it's the mountain bandits? Don't worry, I'll give you an answer. ”

The patriarch comforted the manic villagers, his weak eyes pointing at me.

"Young man, are you sure it's a routed army?"

"Well, at least there are government flags, and they are still shouting slogans of the defeat of the government, scurrying around in the woods!"

The old man still couldn't believe it, and in his words, he needed a verification.

"Where did the war spread so quickly? Come on, get the map! ”

The patriarch carefully consulted the messy map, analyzed the emergence of the crisis, and finally gained something.

"According to the guidance of the map, it should be that there has been a great change in Wuluosha City."

"Is it the town with a short history?"

"Yes, kid, are you sure it's government troops?"

The old man reaffirmed the source of the crisis, and all he got was affirmative heartache.

"I'm not sure if it's a government impostor, but they do wave the flag of the government."

"Patriarch, even if it is pretending, it must be an extraordinary person, let's evacuate as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a misery again, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it!"

The tribesmen advanced the plot in the direction I expected, which was to retreat.

"Hmph, child, why should I believe you, if you are trying to mislead us?"

The patriarch's gloomy face seemed to have uncovered a conspiracy, more than that, as if he was cheating.

"Oh, are you doubting me? It doesn't matter, it's not me who will suffer at that time, so the degree of grasp of the lie is all in your hands, and the responsibility is also in your hands! ”

The patriarch was a little out of breath from my strong attitude, and looked around at the more pressure.

"Yes, patriarch, put aside the words of this young man, if it is the truth, can you bear the consequences?"

The people questioned the hesitant patriarch, creating leaning pressure.

"Why, are you all cowardly enough to disobey me?"

The patriarch was calm, suppressing the unshakable centrality.

"Oh no, it's not good!"

A group of young men burst into the courtyard, carrying impatient shouts.

"Don't panic, everything is under control, take your time, what's going on?"

"Outside the village, surrounded by troops, holding the banner of the new government!" (To be continued.) )
