"The murderer dies, the wounder is punished, you stole the money, and we caught you, this matter is not easy to handle." Wang Xu stretched out two fingers and said with a smile: "Blind, now give you two ways to go, first, leave one hand, brothers give you a long memory." Second, you are also a talent, the handling skills just now are good, and we need people like you in Jinyiwei. ”

"I'll choose the second one, don't cut off my hands, the blind man still points to his hands and touches the rod!" If you are under the eaves, you have to bow your head, and the blind don't want to be a one-armed hero.

"Refreshing!"

Wang Xu laughed and said to Liao Qiang beside him: "Let the two brothers follow him, if he dares to escape, cut it!" ”

"Yes, sir." Liao Qiang whispered yes, and assigned two shrewd brocade guards to monitor the blind man and prevent him from running away.

After being busy for a while, everyone sat down to eat, and the blind man also sat in the corner of the table with a cower.

Wang Xu had eaten it as early as when Liao Qiang and the others were arresting, and after drinking a few sips of wine, he didn't move his chopsticks, and said, "How far is it from the Fuzhou Health Center?" ”

"It's almost a hundred and fifty miles, and it's time to rest for one night today, and it's time to walk another day tomorrow."

The group had cars and horses, and they took the official road, so it was not a big problem for 150 miles.

If you change horses at the post station halfway and go all out, you can walk seven or eight hundred miles a day, which is the case with the ancient eight hundred miles of expedited.

"I won't be there tomorrow, it's raining!"

The blind man, who had not spoken, interjected.

"Oh!"

Wang Xu frowned slightly, and asked, "You are blind, can you still see the heavens?" ”

The blind man smiled shyly and replied, "I have rheumatism, and it hurts when it rains on a cloudy day, and it hurts badly in the afternoon, and it will rain tomorrow." ”

Several brocade guards looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "My lord, I'll go and see the clouds outside." ”

After a while, the old brocade guard who left went and returned, nodded and said: "The clouds are cloudy, the rain is drenched, the clouds outside are stacked, and there will be no rain tomorrow." ”

"Eat first, I'll watch tomorrow morning, if it rains in the morning, we'll stay one more day!"

At this time, it was ancient times, and even the official roads outside were all dirt floors, and it was basically impossible to walk when it was rained.

Instead of being stuck in the middle of the road, it is better to stay for an extra day, everyone has been in a hurry for half a month, and one more day of rest can also nourish the spirit.

One night without words, the next day...

Early the next morning, Wang Xu came out of the room and went outside to see the weather.

The sky is blue and cloudy, and it doesn't look like it's going to rain.

A moment later, Liao Qiang and the other brocade guards came out and saw Wang Xu observing the sky, and they all stood on both sides waiting for orders.

"From here to Fuzhou, are there any towns along the way?" Wang Xu looked at the sky, if there is a town in the middle, everyone can continue on the road, if it really rains halfway, it is okay to go to a nearby town to take shelter from the rain.

After all, the weather is not bad now, and if this rain only falls at night, it will be a waste of time during the day.

Liao Qiang took out the map, put it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, and replied: "My lord, there is a Yangjia town forty-five miles ahead, and a Tongcheng County eighty miles ahead. ”

"Forty-five miles! Let's hurry, even if it rains halfway, it will be enough for us to get to Yangjia Town. ”

Wang Xu got into the carriage, then thought about it and dragged the blind man up.

After receiving the order, the brocade guards got on their horses one after another, escorted them on both sides of the carriage, and the team marched forward in a mighty manner.

After walking for more than 20 miles, the wind gradually rose, blowing the curtain back and forth.

Wang Xu sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out, and found that cumulonimbus clouds had appeared in the north, and the sun had become gray.

"Liao Baihu, how far is it from Yangjia Town?" Wang Xu called Liao Qiang, pointed to the front and asked.

Liao Qiang came on horseback, looked at the surrounding woods, and replied, "My lord, there are still twenty miles to reach Yangjia Town, half an hour is enough." ”

In ancient times, half an hour was an hour, and in modern times, it takes less than 20 minutes to drive a twenty-mile road, while in ancient times it took an hour to ride a horse.

Of course, this is also Wang Xu's horse, which has been on the road for half a month.

If you change into a horse in good condition, you can gallop 30 to 40 miles in an hour on the official road, and walk more than 200 miles in a day.

"Keep on your way!" Wang Xu put down the curtain, everyone is not a pampered eldest lady, and they can still stand it for half an hour.

Click!!

After walking for another half hour, with a thunderclap, the pouring rain came as scheduled.

Listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the car, Wang Xu slowly opened his eyes, woke up from meditation, and said: "Everyone is working hard, when you arrive in Yangjia Town, there is enough good wine and meat, and find a few girls to sing." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Hearing that there was wine, meat, and women, the brocade guards present cheered loudly, and even the thunder outside was suppressed.

Wang Xu had a smile on his face, and most of the Jinyi guards who followed him to his post were men in their twenties and thirties, and they were in the middle of wine, meat and women.

Soon, the whole team quickly stepped up, and the speed was violently raised, and even the whipping sound was a little lighter.

Grunt...

The double-pulled cart rushed on the path, and the group quickly headed towards Yangjia Town.

Another half an hour, in the midst of the howling wind, Yangjiazhen finally arrived.

Click!!

Another thunderclap sent the convoy into town.

Wang Xu lifted the curtain and looked at the buildings outside, I don't know if it was raining, all the residents in the town were closed, and there was not a single pedestrian on the road.

"What a quiet town!" Wang Xu's eyes were like torches, looking at the town under the wind and rain.

"My lord, there is a restaurant open in front, let's go to shelter from the rain first."

Liao Baihu, who was soaking wet, came over on horseback.

Wang Xu nodded imperceptibly, then glanced at the buildings on both sides, and whispered: "Let the brothers be careful, in such a big town, not a single living person has seen it, something is wrong!" ”

Liao Qiang paused for a moment, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, my lord!" ”

Now that the world is difficult, demons and monsters are rampant, and Jinyiwei, as a violent organ of the imperial court, has a lot to deal with these ghosts.

I was full of joy just now, thinking that there was a place to shelter from the rain, so I didn't see anything, but now when I look closely, even if it rains heavily, there can't be no one on the street.

"Brothers, everyone be careful, there may be something wrong with the town." Liao Qiang walked over and talked to everyone, and the twelve brocade guards who accompanied him all looked serious.

The difference between elite soldiers and bandits is vividly reflected at this moment.

I saw twelve brocade guards, four in front and eight in the back, all putting their hands on their waist knives, and the atmosphere of slaughter rose.

"Uncle, it's raining so hard outside, come in and rest!"

At the door of the restaurant, two beautiful women with flowery branches shook their handkerchiefs and greeted people with smiling faces.

Wang Xu glanced at the woman at the door, looked at the plaque of the restaurant again, and whispered: "Wuzhuyuan!" ”

Qinglou is not like Qinglou, the restaurant is not like a restaurant, and with this strange name, it doesn't look like a place of charity.

"Blind, have you been to Yangjiazhen?" Wang Xu looked at the blind man beside him.

The blind man nodded again and again, and then hesitated: "I have been to Yangjia Town, but I have never heard of the store Wuzhuyuan." ”

After thinking about it, he didn't recall it, and the blind man put his hand into his clothes again, and said in a hearty voice: "I have an evil charm on my body, and I put it at the door when I enter the door. ”

"So ugly?" Wang Xu took the blind man's ghost drawing talisman and found that the writing was crooked, and it was not as good as Uncle Ying's talisman.

"I'm blind, how beautiful I can write, just use it!"

The blind man blushed and defended a few words, and followed Wang Xu out of the carriage.

"My lord, it's been checked inside, and there are only five girls there, one who claims to be the boss, and the other four are the boss's sisters." Liao Qiang leaned up with an oil umbrella to shield Wang Xu from the wind and rain.

Wang Xu nodded slightly, there is no village in front of here, there is no store in the back, there is this Yangjia Town within a radius of dozens of miles.

Regardless of whether there are ghosts and ghosts in it, or demons and monsters, they will take shelter from the rain here today.

"Stick it to the door!" Wang Xu took the umbrella himself and raised the evil charm in his hand.

Liao Qiang lowered his head and took the talisman, jumped up three meters high, snapped, and pasted the paper talisman on the door frame.

"Is it burning?" The blind man can't see, but the ear is very useful.

Wang Xu glanced at the talisman attached to the door frame, walked inside with an umbrella, and said without looking back: "It's not burned." ”

"That's good, that's good..."

The blind man breathed a sigh of relief, and the next second he realized that it was still raining outside, and he didn't have an oil umbrella to protect himself from the rain, so he trotted in and followed.

Click!!

The lightning flashed and thundered, and what no one noticed was that the rune paper attached to the door frame flashed two faint lights, and soon dimmed again.
