A messenger with a cloth bag on his back rode a galloping horse at great speed, and before he could get close to the post station, he hurriedly shouted loudly: "Change horses." ”

The post guards who had been guarding outside the post station also immediately shouted to the post station: "Change horses." ”

As soon as the words fell, the people in the post station got busy. By the time the messenger arrived at the station, the messenger was already waiting at the door of the station with a horse full of spirit.

The messenger didn't say much, quickly changed horses, and set off on the road again.

From the time the messenger shouted to the time when he changed horses and left, there was less time for a cup of tea.

Tian Fengming and Cheng Yu glanced at each other, their faces were complicated, their eyes darkened, and they pretended not to know anything.

On the contrary, everyone was a little stunned.

When did the people at this station move so fast? When they arrived, they had been lazy.

"This is an eight-hundred-mile rush, and the messenger will not stop. After two more post stations, another post envoy will continue to travel day and night. The official in charge of the escort looked at everyone's surprise and explained, "However, this kind of eight-hundred-mile rush is rare in normal times. It seems that the previous situation is indeed very bad. ”

The officer's face was sad,

With the war, no one can live a good life. These servants are only the lowest-level officials, and in the war, they are not much better than ordinary people

Xi Jiang, who was hiding in the grass in the forest on the side, looked at the post keeper of this post station, and had the meaning of inquiry.

"This station is not simple! These guards are well-trained, steady, and sharp. I'm afraid this is a spy planted by the imperial court! Xi Jiang sighed.

"Xi Jiang, we have to be careful, the situation ahead must be very bad." Xiaobai was in Xi Jiang's arms and licked his fleshy paws.

"Hmm!" Xi Jiang looked at the post station opposite and didn't blink an eye, "This post station looks very loose, but in fact, the interior is very tight." The post guard outside had already looked at everyone clearly when they came. ”

Tian Fengming did not have as many results as Xi Jiang's analysis, but he knew that the people at the post station were not simple.

There will be no more words along the way, the war will start, there must be a lot of eyes and ears here, and the more they do, the greater the risk of exposure. It's best to watch more and listen more, talk less and do less.

After a while, everyone started to hit the road again.

What they saw and heard on the road made the tension in everyone's hearts deeper and deeper.

While almost everyone was heading towards the gate, they were going against the crowd.

All the people I saw along the way were poor, with yellow faces and blank eyes. In late autumn, he wears the thinnest summer shirt. A chilly autumn wind makes people shiver.

The yellow grass and trees on the edge of the forest, the ragged and skinny pedestrians, and the deep-set eyes and weak steps.

What kind of world is this, and the people at the bottom really have no way to live?

The people of Ikeda Village couldn't help but tighten their baggage and hold it firmly in their arms. The places they are going to are too dangerous and poor, and the contents of the baggage have become extremely precious.

When I left, although I was nervous, I also had a sense of competition. But now the naked reality tells them that everything is delusional.

Two days later, Tian Fengmin and his entourage arrived at the destination of this time-Pingshan City.

Pingshan City is more than ten or twenty miles further on to Pingshan Pass, where it is the real front line. Now the barbarians are trying their best to attack Pingshan Pass, and they can't beat it for the time being.

After arriving at the barracks, the official who escorted everyone left, and took over the garrison of Pingshan Pass. Tian Fengming: As recruits, they will train for a few days, and then they will be assigned to various battalions and teams.

Xi Jiang watched Tian Fengming and his party enter the barracks, then patted his ass and turned to leave.

"Xi Jiang, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the city and have a good meal first, and then find a way to get in. And it's about to go to the barracks, so I have to prepare something to eat. Xi Jiang looked at the earthy silhouette in the distance.

The military camp was stationed not far outside the city, and the tall walls could be seen as far as the eye could see.

“…… Do you have money? Things must be expensive in this city now. Xiaobai raised his big cute eyes and looked at Xi Jiang.

Xi Jiang rubbed the little white hairy and round little head, "No." ”

"And what do you prepare? You don't even have this dress for you. Xiaobai couldn't help but give Xi Jiang a roll of his eyes, and then he was very worried.

Suffered, its host became stupid. Why is it that the power of the soul has been restored, and people have become stupid?

Xi Jiang raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Mountain people have their own tricks!" ”

……

After entering the city, Xi Jiang found that there were still a lot of people in the city, and there were some vendors on the street who continued to set up stalls, most of them looked bitter and hateful, and even the shouting was intermittent.

Come to think of it, most people drag their families with their families, and their family property is here, and there is no way to escape. This escape, but it is a refugee, and it has to break the law. In ancient times, there was no way to guide and leave the place of household registration without authorization, which was punished according to the law.

Only those who have nothing and have no way to divide the people will leave the place where they are born and raise and go to other places to earn a living.

After Xi Jiang entered the city, he suddenly thought of a question, "Xiaobai, can the system open a storage space?" Otherwise, there is no place to put things! ”

"The system provides free space services for the host, but only for dead objects. At the moment, there is only one cubic meter of space, and the opening condition requires one hundred merit points, but it can be upgraded with merit later. Are you going to turn it on? ”

Xi Jiang was stunned for a moment, and didn't react, "Isn't it free?" Why do you need merit points? ”

She had a feeling of being pitted.

"This is stipulated by the main system, and I can't help it." Xiaobai is like a human, swinging his two paws, very cute.

"......" Xi Jiang thought about it, one cubic meter is not bad, one hundred is a hundred, "Okay, turn it on!" ”

"Okay, the system gift space is on. After deducting your 100 merit points, you still have 2890 merit points left. ”

After the space was opened, Xi Jiang immediately felt a close connection, and looked at his system panel again.

--------------------------------------------

Name: Xi Jiang

Merit value: 2890

Soul Regeneration Progress: 210

Storage: Level 1

---------------------------------------------

Put away the system panel, tap your steps, and make a few light jumps, disappearing into the dense rooms.

The direction in which Xi Jiang disappeared was the eastern district where the rich and noble families in the city gathered. It's all the kind of yards with three or four entrances, and even four or five courtyards.

Although these courtyards are not carved beams and paintings, they are delicate and ingenious, and even a few families can see from the interior alone that they are very rich.

It seems that the Cypriot trade here is quite profitable!

Xi Jiang didn't rush in, first inspected the neighborhood, and then entered a palatial Wujin courtyard.

At this time, the sky also darkened, just in case, Xi Jiang was added an invisibility charm by himself.
