Chapter 32: Encounter with the Snake of the Earth

From Donghai County to Yangzhou, you have to pass through Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou Prefecture.

Pengcheng, also known as Pengdu, it is said that this is the capital established by the Yellow Emperor of Renzu at the earliest, and it is the former site of the ancient Peng's country, and there are many legends of great bulls, in a word, the history of this Pengcheng is amazing, as if the city wall is shrouded in myths and legends with any broken bricks.

Originally, Zhang Huang wanted to see this incredible city, but unfortunately, three of his six members of the black feather crow, including him, were wanted by Xuzhou Mansion, and Pengcheng was the seat of Xuzhou Mansion, so Zhang Huang thought about it for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of visiting this city, and the five black feather crows didn't even dare to approach the city, and made a long detour.

After all, from the mouth of the new member Tai Shici, Zhang Huang finally learned the reason why he failed to cast the spell that night in Taishan County.

"The city is a prosperous land, and it is suitable to suppress evil spirits."

At that time, Tai Shici explained that he had been on an errand in the county government of Donglai County, so he could naturally know some things that ordinary people did not know. Some things come out of his mouth that are naturally more convincing than others.

"Ziyi (Tai Shici), according to what you said, if you are in the city, even if you master the qi, you can't use it? Wouldn't that be a weakness of the government? Li Tong asked in surprise.

Tai Shi Ci smiled when he heard this, nodded and said, "Yes, it was meant to play this role." Chivalry, forbidden by force. As far as I know, the warriors of the pre-Qin period mastered the qi, which caused frequent chaos in all parts of the world, therefore, the Qin king Yingzheng listened to Li Si's construction and took two moves: first, the swords and guns were put into storage, the world's weapons were smelted, and twelve bronze figures were cast; Second, take the stones to build the city, and strictly prevent the chivalrous rebellion and the rebellion of the cities in various places. My Han Dynasty also followed the strategy of the pre-Qin Dynasty. ”

"I can't think of it, do you know a lot?" Shan Fu looked at Tai Shici, the new brother, with unexpected eyes.

"The military advisor is serious." Tai Shici explained with a smile, "I like to listen to books since I was a child, and these are all heard from the storyteller, and they are not true or false, but since the boss was banned in Taishan County that day, it must not be groundless." ”

Zhang Huang frowned slightly when he heard this, to be honest, he didn't take the soldiers of the government seriously. After all, I learned from Liu Yan, the county lieutenant of Zhangxian County, that in addition to the regular army, that is, the northern army and the southern army, all of whom were elite soldiers who had mastered martial arts, the rest of the city guards who defended the city in various parts of the world were actually the same thing. Except for the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant, who are a little more powerful and have one or two unique skills, the rest of the ordinary soldiers, even if they come, Zhang Huang is not afraid.

But now the situation is different, Tai Shi Ci actually said that the demon qi was banned in the city, although Zhang Huang really couldn't figure out how the martial arts of the martial arts and the Taoist Taoism became demonic things, but it is undeniable that in Taishan County, he was indeed banned from Taoism.

It won't be his own reason, because on the way to escort the father and son of the Zang family, Zhang Huang also secretly performed Taoism in private and never encountered any problems, which can show that Taishan County is indeed a bit evil. Well, to be more precise, it should be that all the cities in the world are a little evil.

In this way, Zhang Huang did not dare to enter the city with the brother of the black feather crow, although he had mastered several hands of Taoism, and there were two brothers in the team, Zang Ba and Tai Shi Ci, who had initially mastered martial arts, but once they arrived in any city, whether it was him, Zang Ba and Tai Shi Ci, they could only rely on the strength of their bodies. This is not good news, you must know that most of the cities in the world are stationed with troops, even if Zhang Huang and a few people can fight, it is impossible to single out an army without relying on foreign forces. Needless to say, fifty well-trained city guard soldiers alone were enough to completely wipe out the fledgling rebel army of the Black Feather Crows.

The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but as he grows older and knows more about it, the more things he fears. No, after listening to Tai Shici's words, several members of the Black Feather Crow intentionally or unintentionally avoided the counties along the way, specifically looking for ordinary small villages, and replenishing the things they needed on the way in the form of trading with the villagers, after all, their Black Feather Crow is now worth a full two thousand nine hundred taels, which is a sum of money that will make people blush.

But then again, it is not a problem to avoid counties as much as possible on the way, but Zang Prison Cao asked Zhang Huang and others to go to Yangzhou to join Zang Ba's distant uncle, which made Yangzhou inevitable.

Finally, after a careful journey of more than 20 days, Zhang Huang and others arrived at Guangling, the seat of Yangzhou.

Guangling, also known as Jiangdu, is the same as the seat of Xuzhou and the city that can be called the capital, and it was also the former site of the ancient Han (Han) country and the ancient Wu country, especially the ancient Han country, whose history can be traced back to the early Zhou period, and because of the long history, it is full of all kinds of strange and absurd legends.

"Xuan Gao, Uncle Zang is saying that your uncle is in this Jiangdu, right?"

Coming to the city gate, looking at the people who came and went at the city gate waiting for interrogation, Zhang Huang asked Zang Ba with some hesitation.

To be honest, in fact, Zang Ba didn't want to venture into the city, after all, Tai Shici's words really scared a few of them, not to mention that he himself was still wanted with two thousand taels of silver on his back, in case someone recognized him in the city, it would not be a joke. Relying on his fists and feet alone, Zang Ba was not sure to be forced out of the seat of a state capital like Jiangdu.

"My father did say that my distant uncle now lives in Guangling......" said Zang Ba, who took out a letter of recommendation written by his father Zang Jie.

Although everyone did not dare to open this letter privately, the names on the cover have been read many times these days.

【Zang's Min Gong】

Zang Min, this is the name of Zang Ba's distant uncle, as for what this uncle does, Zang Jie did not reveal it, but looking at his expression, he seems to be quite proud. From this, everyone privately deduced that most of Zang Ba's uncle mixed well in Jiangdu and was a big man with a head and a face.

Fortunately, neither Zang Ba's wanted warrant in Xuzhou nor Tai Shici's wanted warrant in Qingzhou had yet reached Yangzhou, which made Zhang Huang and others unfazed the city guards and entered the city gate.

As soon as he stepped into the city, Zhang Huang felt an indescribable strange feeling. Although he didn't have any negative power on him, his Dao technique was restricted as Tai Shi Ci said, which Zhang Huang had verified by performing Dao in a remote alley.

And Zang Ba and Tai Shici are the same, according to them, as soon as they enter this Jiangdu, the martial energy in their bodies disappears without a trace as if they were forbidden. As for Li Tong, Chen Dao, and Shan Fu, they also felt something, after all, although they had the mastery of asking Zang Ba and Tai Shici for advice, but in the end, it was not long in the end, and it was difficult to perceive the nuances and clearly capture the changes in the breath in their bodies.

"Be honest, don't make trouble in the city." After learning about the current state of himself and others, Zhang Huang told his brothers.

Everyone nodded one after another.

The first thing to do when entering the city gate was to find the residence of Zang Ba's uncle Zang Min, because he was unfamiliar with the place, Zhang Huang and others had to ask passers-by.

But what surprised them was that when they asked the people on the street where Zang Min lived, those people were shocked, and glared at them with angry eyes, and left without saying a word.

One or two is fine, even asking a dozen or so is like this, which makes Zhang Huang and the others feel a little surprised.

"What's going on?" Zhang Huang and the others looked at each other.

They didn't pay attention to it, on the opposite side of the street, there were two splashes who were leaning against the wall and looking at Zhang Huang and the others from a distance.

Suddenly, the two splashes glanced at each other, one of them ran away, while the other trotted to Zhang Huang and the others with a smile, and said enthusiastically, "Who are the brothers?" ”

"Who are you?" Shan Fu frowned and asked rhetorically. After all, judging from the other party's dress, Shan Fu didn't think that this was a good citizen, most of them were ruffians in Jiangdu, and he didn't want to deal with this kind of thing.

The splashy threw his hands and hugged his fists, and said with a smile, "I take the liberty to talk, the little one is called Li Xiaosi, I look at a few masters who seem to be foreigners, aren't they familiar with our river?" I don't know where you want to go? Can you use a small one to show you the way? ”

[Leading the way?] ]

Zhang Huang and the others were a little stunned in their hearts. After all, every industry has its own way of living, no matter where the ruffians are, they don't all rely on extortion and extortion of local people to make a living, and it is also one of their side jobs to lead the way for outsiders and receive a certain amount of remuneration.

"Are you familiar with this river?" Li Tong interjected and asked.

"Isn't that? You know it all right! Li Xiaosi showed an exaggerated expression, patted his chest and swore solemnly, "The brothers on the mixed road all call me 'Hutong Mouse', and there is no place in Jiangdu that I Li Xiaosi doesn't know...... Even if a few masters dig three feet into the ground to find a tea bowl lid, I, Li Xiaosi, can easily help a few masters find it. ”

"Really?" Zhang Huang's eyes widened in surprise.

Shan Fu had long known that the boss of his black feather crow usually had little heart and was easy to be deceived, but he didn't care, and said to Li Xiaosi after a while, "We don't go anywhere, we just want to find someone." ”

"That's easier!" Li Xiaosi patted his chest and packed the ticket, and then, he blinked his eyes and said in a low voice, "But it's not too early now, why don't you find a place for a few masters to rest today, and start early tomorrow, let's go out to find someone, how about it?" ”

Zhang Huang and the others didn't speak, but just looked up at the sky, and saw that the sun had set at this time, and their hearts couldn't help but be a little moved. After all, God knows where Zang Ba's uncle lives, it's easy to find it, since Jiangdu is called the capital, it covers a large area, it is not comparable to a small Taishan County.

Seeing Zhang Huang and the others showing a look of emotion, Li Xiaosi smiled between his eyebrows, and said while the iron was hot, "A few masters come with the little ones, the little ones know a place, not to mention the cheap accommodation, there is still fun to find ......"

"Fun? What's the fun? Chen Zhi asked suspiciously.

"That's it...... Hehe......" Li Xiaosi laughed a few times, and it was even more inexplicable to see Chen.

Tai Shici, who was well-informed next to him, shook his head, and said in his heart that his brother was really honest, so he leaned over and whispered, "This guy is planning to take us to the kiln to have fun!" ”

"What?" Chen Zhi's face turned red when he heard this, and he didn't know if it was because he was ashamed or angry, so he grabbed Li Xiaosi's shirt and scolded angrily, "Bastard, what kind of person are you and us?!" ”

"Master, master, there is something to say, something to say." was so frightened by Chen Zhi, Li Xiaosi's eyes also showed fear, after all, there were six people in Zhang Huang's gang, and he only had one, if he really fought, I was afraid that he would not know how many bones would be broken.

"Okay brother, you can't be angry with such a person." Li Tong stood up and let go of Chen Zhi's hand, then turned his head and said to Li Xiaosi, "Just find a cheap place to live for us, and the rest, you don't need it." You will be paid for it. ”

"Understood, understood." Li Xiaosi nodded again and again, and led Zhang Huang and the others through one alley after another.

Not to mention, this Li Xiaosi really didn't build it, and there were a few nearby alleys, but the problem was that somehow he faintly led Zhang Huang and others to a remote road with few people, and at this time, the sky gradually darkened, which made Shan Fu, Zang Ba, Tai Shici and others gradually suspicious.

Under the gesture of Shan Fu's eyes, Zang Ba and Tai Shici took a few steps forward, and one of them reached out to put his hand around Li Xiaosi's shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "I said Li Xiaosi, the road you led is a little wrong, right?" ”

"What did the masters say?" Li Xiaosi turned his head and said without changing his face, "It's not far ahead, because the location of the inn is remote, so there are few people who know it, and the price of accommodation is naturally cheap." ”

Hearing his explanation, Zang Ba, Tai Shici, and Shan Fu were suspicious, but Li Tong was the only one who urged Li Xiaosi to lead the way quickly because he was greedy.

But what they didn't expect was that Li Xiaosi led them to a dead end, and when Zhang Huang and the others noticed that the situation was wrong, from the dim alley behind them, a large group of splashers with wooden sticks and sticks had come out, looking at them with unkind expressions. A rough count shows that there are about twenty or thirty people.

And Li Xiaosi also changed his face at this time, and slipped into the group of people while Zang Ba and Tai Shici were stunned.

"If you don't want to suffer from flesh and skin, get acquainted with each other and hand over all the valuable things on your body!"

[Goodfellas......]

The people of the Black Feather Crow looked at each other and immediately couldn't laugh or cry. Who would have thought that as soon as they arrived in Jiangdu, they were blackmailed and robbed by a gang of splashy designs.
