Chapter 53: Arriving at Gucheng

Yang Liang and Lu Zhicheng couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this, Yang Liang stretched out his hand and slapped Chen Lu's head, and shouted again, "Don't sleep when it's dawn!" ”

Chen Lu slowly woke up from the chaos.

briefly explained the current situation, and heard that he was stunned by Yang Liang's medicine, Chen Lu screamed strangely, praised Yang Liang's wit again and again, and asked Yang Liang where he took out his medicine, how it was so easy to use, and stunned so many people at once.

Yang Liang had no choice but to say that it was Zhao Yiren who used it for his own self-defense, and threw the pot to the old father of Zhao who was thousands of miles away.

And his old father was hugging his old mother at this time, and the two of them were talking to me and me, but Zhao Yiren suddenly sneezed several times and rubbed his nose, and couldn't help but feel very strange, thinking that the weather was not cold, why did he still sneeze!

The three people in the carriage and Yuan Heng, who was sitting outside driving the carriage, told Chen Lu what happened in the caravan just now, and heard Chen Lu scold the sinister villain of the main family, but he changed his words and was curious about why Yang Liang could let the mustache account tell the truth that day, Yang Liang told the story of the fox fairy he made up again, and in the end, when the fox fairy took the tail away, Chen Lu and Yuan Heng echoed it again and again, saying that they had seen it with their own eyes.

Hearing Lu Zhicheng's surprise again and again, he couldn't help but sigh that there are no wonders in this world, he used to think that the spirits, ghosts and gods were all nonsense, but now it seems that it is a matter of fact, and it cannot be generalized.

A few people chatted while rushing to the road, and they all chatted late at night, calculating the distance, the carriage had traveled a long distance, and then it should be Gucheng, and the caravan should not be able to catch up for the time being, so Yuan Heng found a hidden place again, and a few people who had been on the road for most of the night could finally have a good rest.

The next day, when Dongfang just appeared white, Yuan Heng woke up, he observed the surrounding environment, and found that the gate of Gucheng could be vaguely seen in front of him, and it seemed that he could rush to Gucheng before noon today.

Habitually touching the fake beard on his face, he remembered that he had removed his original disguise yesterday in order to deceive the caravan people, and now there was no mustache sticky on his face, and he did not apply potions, it was completely his original appearance.

Thinking that he was about to arrive in Gucheng, maybe there were officers and soldiers patrolling around here to check, and it was better to disguise himself as soon as possible, so as not to show flaws again when the time came.

So he took out the box containing the disfigured potion and powder, and the mustache, and took it to the river, tossed it around the river, and turned himself into the unshaven appearance of the previous beard.

When he had done this, he fetched some more water, and then went back to the carriage, and took out some more food to prepare breakfast.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a group of patrolling soldiers rushed towards them on horseback, and soon surrounded them.

Hearing the movement outside, the three people who were asleep in the carriage also gradually woke up, opened the window of the carriage, and saw that there were so many officers and soldiers surrounded outside, several people were frightened, and then they came to their senses, looked at Lu Zhicheng in the carriage, and thought to themselves that it was over, Yuan Heng and Chen Lu both had passes, Yang Liang was still young, and he could prevaricate with not being registered, according to Yuan Heng's outstanding performance in front of the officers and soldiers several times, it should be no problem to pass the test.

But Lu Zhicheng is different, he escaped from the caravan, although the pass indicates that he is a member of the caravan who came here to do business, but it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not be suspicious.

Although they were panicked in their hearts, several people still pretended to be accustomed to seeing big scenes, and walked down from the carriage one after another, and the officers and soldiers who took the lead saw that they were all so cooperative, and the frowning brows that had been tightly softened a little, and the tone of their speech was much gentler.

"A few people don't have to be nervous, we're just doing a routine check, and after confirming that a few people's identities are correct, we will naturally let a few people pass."

Yuan Heng looked familiar with the process, and took the initiative to hand his pass to the leader, and after the other party checked it, he heard that Yuan Heng was actually a soldier who had been on the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be in awe.

Yuan Heng exchanged a few words with the general, talked about his experience on the battlefield, and expressed his patriotism, and the eyes of the officers and soldiers who looked like the leader were red.

Yang Liang saw Yuan Heng's posture, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking that Yuan Heng was in modern times, it was definitely a pyramid scheme leader, or he was a master of success, how could this person usually look like a stuffy gourd, but when it came to the critical moment, he slipped his mouth like this!

Spit and complain, the real problem at the moment still needs to be considered, Yang Liang looked at Lu Zhicheng, his face was already a little pale now, obviously because he was too nervous, but Yuan Heng looked indifferent, and continued to talk with the leader.

At this time, Chen Lu, who was standing on the side, also took the initiative to take out his pass, but the leader just glanced at it, waved his hand to him, motioned for him to put it away, and then said: "No need to check, Brother Wang, you are a good man who has been on the battlefield and shed blood for my Wei country, how can I embarrass you here." ”

After listening to what he said, Yuan Heng made a look of relief, and patted the leader's shoulder with care, as if the leader cared for his subordinates.

Yang Liang and the others were simply stunned when they watched from the sidelines, they really didn't expect that Yuan Heng could successfully avoid two inspections just by relying on the experience of joining the army that he had fabricated.

Last time I was in Yuncheng, I didn't expect it to be like this when I arrived in Gucheng this time, which makes people think, Yuan Heng is not going to brainwash people, otherwise why are these two people obedient to what he said, and they are willing to take the initiative to serve them with a very moved look, they are simply stunned.

And it wasn't just that Yang Liang and their jaws dropped in shock, the person who looked like a leader was so enthusiastic that he wanted to invite Yuan Heng to Gucheng for dinner!

said that he chatted with him very closely, and they came from afar, and he should do his best as a landlord as a host.

The three of them originally thought that Yuan Heng would refuse, but they didn't expect him to agree without a trace of hesitation?

In fact, Yuan Heng agreed to his invitation because of his own considerations. Long before he set out to come to Wei, he had learned about the customs of the various regions they passed through along the way, and this solid city was the one that impressed him the most.

Unlike other Wei cities where the folk customs were relatively open, Gucheng boasted that it was the hometown of the sage, because according to legend, when the sage traveled around the world in his early years, he passed through Gucheng and saw that the local people were simple and simple, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, so he settled here for several years.

Therefore, the people of Gucheng respect the saints, and do not know how to diverge and be flexible, only follow the self-denial and retribution that the saints say, and everyone does things in a clear way, and does not allow any out-of-the-ordinary or unconventional behavior.

And the local customs are very important, and if you break the rules and touch the taboos of the locals, you will be immediately expelled from the city and will never be allowed to enter.

In such an environment, it is very necessary to find a reliable guide for yourself in advance, and now it seems that the person in front of you is a very good choice.
