Chapter 617: Entering the City
"Okay, I got it." Ling'er stared at the sea of fire, and the fire flashed in Shui Ling's eyes.
"Venerable, the fox lord has an order, and His Holiness can't be emotionally involved this time!"
"I see." Ling'er replied casually.
"Then the subordinate retired first."
The gray shadow disappeared, and the inn began to collapse in the raging fire, and the figures of women and children gradually disappeared into the flames.
...
This happened, Wang Yan's mood was a little unhappy, although he didn't find the old mother and young son mentioned by the store, but Wang Yan found traces of people living in the house in the backyard, maybe they just went out today.
After sleeping all day, the spirit is there, but the stomach is a little empty, picking some fruits along the way to satisfy hunger, but not full, there is a fire behind him, at this time, the farther you go, the better, those thieves are not danger for Wang Yan, but trouble.
The development rate in the southern part of Daliang was not high, and it took Wang Yan ten days to get out of the forest, during which he encountered six bandits blocking the road, not from Fenglin Village, but from two other bandit gangs.
The security of Daliang has always been a big problem, but since the Yellow River burst, the problem has become more serious, too many homes have been destroyed, and the displaced poor people have no way to survive.
Time has gradually worn away what remains of their goodness, and they have become real beasts.
When dealing with beasts, Wang Yan never has a soft heart, and kills them when he sees them.
When she came out of the forest, she couldn't ask for clothes anymore, they were stained with blood, and they looked very terrifying, but the clothes on Dugu Mei'er's body were quite clean, and under Wang Yan's deliberate protection, there was not much blood.
Not far away is Pingliang County, the gateway to Yunzhou, not to mention the danger of resting in the forest, and it is not good to rest, Wang Yan plans to risk sneaking into the city to rest and recuperate.
Wang Yan lay in ambush on the edge of the forest outside the official road, like a hunter waiting for his prey to fall into a trap.
After waiting for half a night, he finally saw the prey at dawn, and a young man drove a carriage to the direction of Pingliang County, the horse was an old horse, and the cart was full of forage.
Dugu Mei'er sat on the side, staring at Wang Yan calmly.
Wang Yan's feelings for Dugu Mei'er are very complicated, even if he thinks that she will become a bad woman who sells her body to achieve her goals, and wants to alienate her, but in the end, it is just self-deception.
Because of this, Wang Yan has always been dissatisfied with Dugu Meier, so whenever the depression accumulates to a certain extent, Wang Yan will vent.
Dugu Meier didn't resist, let Wang Yan do it, no matter what Wang Yan did, she obeyed Wang Yan, and she looked indifferent afterwards, Wang Yan was even more angry.
When the young man got closer, Wang Yan rushed out of the forest like lightning, grabbed the young man in three or two strokes, and dragged him into the forest.
After a while, Wang Yan, who was dressed as a young man, walked out of the forest, got into the car, untied the tied hay, and shook beside the car, shaking out a lot of small gravel.
After processing one-third less forage than at the beginning, Wang Yan went into the forest, picked Dugu Mei'er out, and then put her in the hay pile, and covered her tightly with hay.
Glancing sideways at the forest, Wang Yan sneered, gave the old horse a whip, and began to drive towards Pingliang County.
There was no mysterious person with strange behavior in front of the city gate, so Wang Yan was a little curious.
Before the city gate was opened, Wang Yan drove to the door, sat down in a small stall, and listened attentively to the conversation around him.
"I'll tell you a secret, don't pass it on, or you'll be killed."
"What's so mysterious?"
"I heard that today's queen mother is fake, the real queen mother was taken away by Chen Guo, and now she has become Chen Guozhu's plaything!"
Wang Yan's hand holding the tea bowl shook slightly.
"Impossible, right? Who are you listening to about this? ”
"It was said by the people of Longhu Villa, half a month ago I went to Chen Guo to do business, and when I had dinner again, I happened to hear what they said, it was true, I heard it clearly! They said that the empress of Daliang was robbed by them and dedicated to their emperor, and they received a lot of rewards for it. ”
"It's fake, if that's the case, how can the emperor bear it? It's been a long time since the war began! ”
"Start a war? It's easy to say, the Turks, Xia Guodu are eyeing Daliang, how to fight? Besides, the queen mother is just a woman, because she is not worth fighting. ”
"What you said is not credible, the queen mother is the daughter of the general of the auxiliary country, and the queen mother has been personally confirmed by the general of the auxiliary country after returning to Beijing, so there can be no fake."
"What is going on in the court, can you be sure? Anyway, I think it's true, what Longhu Villa said is exactly what it says. ”
Wang Yan listened to the words of the two merchants word for word, glanced at the city gate, and said in his heart, it seems that this is the reason why the number of people looking for Dugu Meier's whereabouts has decreased.
Most of them were diverted by rumors, and at this time, I was afraid that most of the people had already infiltrated Chen Guo and went to Chen Guo to search for Dugu Meier's whereabouts.
Dugu Huang knew about the deal between the black fox and Chen Guo, but if he was really attracted to the sight, it meant that he didn't know that Dugu Meier was saved by himself, and Longhu Villa and the black fox were afraid that the news of the queen being robbed was suppressed.
Without those people, it would be much easier to get into the city.
Wang Yan's face was smeared with a thin layer of yellow mud, which was completely painted according to the makeup of a young man.
Wang Yan glanced back at the carriage and wanted to laugh.
The young man who sold the carriage was a clever man, and when he saw that Wang Yan had a good idea to talk to him and discuss, he had no intention of killing him, not to mention raising the price, and his eyes were still shining with a thief's light.
Wang Yan smiled and grabbed his neck like a chicken, and stuffed a pill into his mouth and sneered.
"This is my secret medicine for seven days, after seven days, if there is no antidote, you will have your liver and intestines broken, severe pain for three days and three nights and death, if you want to live, six days later, in the morning, come here, I will give you the antidote,"
The clever boy understood what Wang Yan meant, and his face turned pale, and he wanted to believe what Wang Yan said, but a burning sensation had already risen in his stomach.
When the hour came, the gates of the city slowly opened.
Wang Yan drove the carriage slowly towards the city gate, lined up behind the line, and entered the city in turn, when the carriage arrived at the gate, it was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate, and four soldiers looked around the carriage, and two of them were about to move the knife barrel twice.
"Official! Official! Wang Yan hurriedly trotted to the captain, took the captain's hand, and said pitifully. Official, official! Please also ask the officials to raise their noble hands, this cart of forage, check it casually, but please don't move the knife, don't break these forages, the villain has been busy all night to tie them up like this. ”
"You carriage, so familiar." The captain stared at the carriage.
"Official, do you know Brother Niu?"
"Cow cubs? You bought this car from a cow cub? ”
