Chapter 94: Overnight in Blackwater
The sergeant nodded and said, "That's all there is to it." ”
With a wry smile on his face, the sergeant stopped the car and went to light a fire.
Yang Ziming and Yin Ming also pushed the car door and walked down.
Yang Ziming said curiously: "Speaking of which, I have always been unable to figure it out. ”
"Qinglinhou is a well-known Gu family, and he treats his three sons and one daughter as treasures. ”
"How could he be willing to ask his youngest son to come to Fengxi Province with you?"
Yin Ming said: "Which one was allowed by the Marquis of Qinglin to come, he made it himself." ”
"Huh?" Yang Ziming couldn't react a little.
Yin Ming said: "Qinglin Hou and I both know that Liu Teng wants to come with me, because on the day I leave, he has already let people watch him and not allow him to go out." ”
"It's just that Liu Teng, this kid, with a shake of his arms, I'm afraid that if he doesn't have the strength of a thousand catties, where can ordinary people restrain him. ”
He directly picked up the sledgehammer, smashed through the high wall of the Hou Mansion, and caught up with my car. ”
Qinglinhou also had no choice but to acquiesce to him coming with me. ”
Yang Ziming was a little stunned, is this okay?
Yin Ming came to the fire and said to the sergeant who lit the fire: "Lao Zhao, you have worked hard, and you are also asked to do these chores." ”
The sergeant smiled and said, "Why do you say this, a few of us can help adults do these things, we are just doing our duty." ”
Yin Ming nodded, but thanks to these sergeants, he solved many troubles along the way.
These four people were selected by Feng Xiang, the marshal of the forbidden army, from his personal guards in the forbidden army.
The person who made the fire was named Zhao Long, and there were three people named Sun Hu, Qian Wen, and Li Wu.
These four people knew that Yin Ming was Feng Xingdao's friend, and they also helped Feng Xingdao improve his cultivation and made contributions.
They were all loyal to the Feng family, so they were transferred to Yin Ming's side without complaint.
Moreover, Yin Ming's dismissal of the servants also made them greatly admired.
Yang Ziming sat down and said, "Brother Ming, I have also convinced you." ”
"It's surprising that you're going to send all those servants back. ”
Yin Ming said lightly: "It's just some hard-working people." ”
"Asking them to come with them will not help much, but will put them in danger, so it is better to let them go home. ”
Don't look at Yin Ming's group, there are only a few people now, but he is a big party, and he shouldn't be so shabby.
When he left Hongjing, there were more than 100 servants and maids assigned to him by the officials.
However, Yin Ming felt that this trip was dangerous, so before entering Fengxi, he dismissed more than 100 people.
Because of this, along the way, Zhao Long and them have to be busy with the work of staying in the store.
Look at the dry bones along the way now, but I didn't bring them here.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that half of the more than 100 people in this vast amount of people can make it to the provincial capital alive.
At this time, Liu Teng and Sun Hu caught two more roe deer and four or five rabbits and brought them back.
Zhao Long took out the seasonings, they were all baked, and the group had dry food and lunch.
After lunch, Zhao Long took out the map.
Zhao Long said: "My lord, we have arrived in the hinterland of Fengxi, and we will be able to reach the provincial capital in about two or three days." ”
Zhao Long pointed to a point on the map and said, "This is the closest county town to us, how about going here to rest today?"
Yin Ming said: "If you go to this city, won't you spare a long journey, why don't you go straight to the provincial capital?"
Zhao Long explained: "On the way to the provincial capital, there is no big city, and there is nowhere to stay. ”
Yin Ming pointed out a few places on the map and said, "Isn't there a few counties?"
Zhao Long smiled bitterly and said: "My lord doesn't know, the people of this western city are hard, and the ordinary county town has low walls. ”
"It's all useless for a martial artist, let alone those monsters. ”
Yin Ming heard some extraneous sounds from Zhao Long's words, and his expression was slightly dark.
Yin Ming asked solemnly: "You say this, could it be that after this provincial city, there are still monsters?"
This is already close to the provincial capital, and in the east of the provincial capital, there is a provincial capital blocking the west of the demon clan.
If there are demons here, it's unimaginable.
Zhao Long nodded and said with a wry smile: "My lord, I have been here to stay in the Fengxi Expedition for three years, and the chaos here is far beyond imagination!"
Yin Ming frowned, the situation in this Fengxi was even more severe than he thought.
Zhao Long pointed to the map and said, "So, let's still ......"
Yin Ming waved his hand, pointed to a place on the map, and said, "No, let's go to this Heishui County." ”
Zhao Long said puzzled: "My lord, this can't be helped, right?"
Yin Ming said: "I am the parent official of this side, and the first thing to do is to understand the people's feelings. ”
"I am hiding in the county town today, and when I take office in the future, can I still hide in the provincial capital and sit back and watch the people live in dire straits?"
When Zhao Long heard this, he couldn't help but be in awe, and said respectfully: "What the adults said is that they will go to Heishui County today." ”
Heishui County, east of the provincial capital, belongs to Yuxian County.
In the evening of the same day, the group came to Heishui County.
At the gate of the city, two sergeants were lying lazily behind the gate, and when they heard the movement of the carriage, they did not even raise their heads.
Yin Ming frowned, in Fengxi, where the demon clan was rampant, the soldiers were so casual.
It seems that the governor of Fengxi is not a person who manages the army well.
The group walked through the door.
The low city wall behind him looked like an old man who had been bent in the night, and it looked crumbling.
This kind of wall, which is several meters high, is just a decoration for demons!
Yin Ming sighed, this is the current situation of people's livelihood, and he feels that the burden on his body is getting heavier and heavier.
Yin Ming did not go to the county office, nor did he identify himself, so he asked Zhao Long to find an inn in the city to settle down.
He wanted to get a low-key understanding of the most real side of the Fengxi place.
Before that, however, it is important to take a break.
The carriage went around Heishui County, but not a single inn was found.
Yin Ming groaned slightly, and ordered: "Everyone is wronged today, see if there is a place like a land temple, and we will spend the night first." ”
The rest of the people are not pampered young masters, and they have no objections.
The group searched around again, but they didn't find the land temple, but they heard that there was a river temple.
They rushed all the way, only to find dozens of people gathered in front of the river temple, with bright torches, as if there was some sacrificial ceremony.
Yin Ming and his party were from Jingshi, and they were all a little surprised when they saw this scene.
The Tang Dynasty revered martial arts and suppressed literature, so the people were not very superstitious, and everything was respected by personal force.
However, it is understandable that it is located in a remote area and the people are feudal and backward.
It's just that in the middle of the night, isn't it the river god who is sacrificed, but the night wandering god?
Zhao Long asked: "My lord, looking at this situation, this temple is not easy to settle down, let's find other places." ”
