Volume 1 And Be a Distant Visitor Chapter 83 Danger lurks
After the embarrassing events of that night, Su Jin and Xiao Yan completely entered a state of non-interference.
For example, Xiao Yan came over for breakfast, Su Jin immediately put down the chopsticks and left, and for another example, Xiao Yan was in the shade of a tree, and when he saw Su Jin coming, he would rather bask in the sun than take a step closer.
Although the two of them didn't know why they were doing this, they seemed to be a little embarrassed when they saw each other.
No one is embarrassed to talk to the other.
So the two of them were in this strange atmosphere, and they were awkward until they arrived in Lidi Cloud City.
I had long heard that they were coming, and the Yuncheng County Commander was waiting ten miles away from Yuncheng early, and when he saw their flag fluttering, he was almost happy to roll over.
He hurried to catch up, but when he saw that there were not many people they were carrying, he was immediately stunned.
"Your Highness, but there are still follow-up troops yet?"
"None." Xiao Yan replied briefly, "This is all the troops that Your Majesty has distributed. ”
"Ah...... This ......" The county commander's face suddenly showed a bitter color.
"Why, you look down on us?" Chad couldn't take it anymore, and the halberd in his hand slammed into the ground. "All the soldiers brought by this general are elite soldiers, and one is ten!"
"Duh!"
A dull sound sounded, and a puff of dust flew up.
The county commander looked down and saw a big pit on the ground covered with bluestone slabs, and he couldn't help but swallow.
"Where's your Cloud City Lord?" Su Jin also got out of the carriage, "Why are you the only one to greet you?" ”
At the mention of this, the county commander's face suddenly became even sadder.
"Don't mention this." He sighed, "Don't dare to hide it from a few adults, only the lower officials will come today......"
As soon as he said this, everyone except Xiao Yan was angry.
Anyway, it's a visit from the imperial court, and the city lord hasn't shown up yet?
Su Jin blinked and jumped down from the carriage, "Don't you city lords know that we're coming?" ”
"Back to my lord, it's not convenient to talk here," the county commander arched his hand at them, "Why don't we go to the inn where we stay......"
"The inn?" Chade suddenly became angry again, and the long halberd in his hand pointed at the county order, "I came from afar on the orders of His Majesty, and you didn't arrange for us to live in the embassy, but instead arranged for us to stay in the inn, what is your intention?" ”
The county commander's face turned pale, and he waved his hands, "The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials don't dare to ......."
"General Chai." Su Jin stretched out his hand to lift his halberd, and looked at Xiao Yan at eye to eye, both of them saw a thoughtful look in the other party's eyes, "Why don't we go and listen to what this county magistrate has to say first." ”
When Chad heard her say this, he snorted coldly, put away his weapon, and prepared to direct the team into the city.
"Thou shalt not act rashly." Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, turned over and got off the horse.
"Break it into pieces and quietly enter the city."
At this moment, the situation in the city is unknown, so it should not be too public.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they immediately changed their clothes on the spot and dressed themselves up in the costumes of the people of Lidi.
Su Jin also left his carriage behind and prepared to walk into the city.
When they turned around, they saw a little beggar squatting in the grass to peek at them.
Seeing Su Jin coming over, he was startled and immediately turned around and ran away.
Su Jin frowned.
"Master Su, you're in the city." Ling Qi passed by her side and reminded her very respectfully.
"Oh, good."
Su Jin hurriedly followed, and when she looked back, the child had already run away.
She pouted and had to give up.
After entering the city, Su Jin found that this cloud city was actually a dilapidated scene, some houses collapsed, and dust was everywhere.
Su Jin has seen the history of Lidi, this is a historical old city, with a large population, simple folk customs, because of the concentration of various ethnic groups, so the architectural style is unique, integrating the characteristics of various ethnic groups.
But today, when she walked all the way, there were few pedestrians on the main road, and all of them looked like they were facing a great enemy, and the rows were in a hurry, and the houses were dilapidated, and some of them could no longer be seen in their original state.
The documents received by the DPRK and China said that the riots were only part of the people, and the power was not strong, but now it seems that it is not.
This situation is really weird.
"Your Highness." Ling Qi leaned over and whispered, "Most of the shops in the city have not opened, and they ...... I don't see the soldiers defending the city. ”
I don't see the defenders of the city!
Su Jin suddenly fell into deep thought.
Li is located on the border, connected to the Northern Qi, and the lower is connected to Cangyuan, the geographical location can be said to be extremely important, if the city is lost, it will affect the whole body, and completely affect the political security of the Great Wei.
However, at this moment, there are not even the soldiers defending the city, which is too dangerous.
Linked to the look of the county order, a thought suddenly flashed in Su Jin's heart.
Could it be that there is actually something in this rebellion in Lidi?
"Got it."
Xiao Yan replied lightly, as if he didn't realize how serious this matter was.
Su Jin looked at his calm and relaxed appearance, and wanted to ask him if he knew something, but he was really embarrassed to open his mouth, and he struggled for a long time, and when he saw that the inn had arrived, he "hummed" and walked in first past Xiao Yan.
"This ......"
The county was shocked.
How could this adult be so ignorant of etiquette?
His Royal Highness the King of Jin is the most noble, so naturally he should enter first, how can he be preempted by him?
He hurried to see the look of His Royal Highness the King of Jin.
The city is chaotic enough now, and these people must not have any more conflicts.
However, unexpectedly, His Royal Highness King Jin didn't mind following behind this adult and walked in, and his expression was calm.
The county commander swallowed, feeling that he had probably been away from Gyeonggi for too long, and some things were no longer clear.
"Your Highness," seeing Xiao Yan enter the house, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to lead him, "You live in the upper room, and the other two adults live in a scattered room with the soldiers......
Xiao Yan's footsteps suddenly paused, and he looked sideways at him, "What did you say?" ”
"Huh?" The county magistrate didn't know what he said wrong, and was stunned.
His Royal Highness has a noble status, so naturally there should be one room for one person, and there is no problem with this arrangement.
What's more, when Prime Minister Lu Cheng came before, it was also arranged like this.
"She," Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and pointed at Su Jin, who was standing in the hall in a daze, "one room for one person." ”
What what!
The county magistrate's jaw dropped suddenly.
This Lord Su has one room?
This, this, this...... It's not in order.
"You don't understand?" Xiao Yan said coldly, "Is there any problem?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare, don't dare." The county commander broke out in a cold sweat, and said again, "It's just that most of these other houses have been destroyed due to the riots, if Your Highness lets Lord Su live alone, I'm afraid you will have to ......."
"This king and everyone are squeezed." Xiao Yan didn't feel anything wrong with the fact that she had demoted her status, but she insisted very much on Su Jin's accommodation, "That house is left to her ......"
As he was talking, there was a sudden loud noise outside the inn, and everyone was shocked, Xiao Yan subconsciously pulled Su Jin to hide behind him, and looked out of the door with cold eyes.
That sound is a musket?
Someone in the city with a musket?
"The bandits are here again!"
There was an exclamation, followed by a terrified cry.
"Don't kill me...... Yes! ”
There was a commotion in the streets, and there was a lot of crying.
"Bandits?" Chad got up to take a look, but suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow coming towards him, and immediately pulled away.
The thing seemed to carry a vapor of water, and as it flew over, it sprinkled a few bits of liquid in the sky.
A soldier subconsciously reached out to pick it up, but suddenly found that it was not a transparent droplet of water that fell on his hand, but a bright red.
He was startled, and then he saw the black shadow jump up the steps, shake, and then face them.
The facial features are upright, the skin is fair, and the expression of horror in the big eyes is still there, but it has lost its luster.
That's a ...... Head.
Su Jin suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Moreover, this is still a child's head!
The head lay on the ground, and fell into the eyes of all the soldiers, and they were all immediately angry.
How can there be such a murderous person?
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" The county order was in a hurry, so he personally closed the door of the inn with a "snap", and blocked the door with tables and chairs, signaling everyone not to make a sound, "If the bandits come, they will see blood, and if they meet whoever kills whom, don't make a sound, don't make a sound!" ”
"Ridiculous! Treating the lives of innocent people as ants? Chade was furious, and was about to rush out with his halberd, "What kind of system is it to be so arrogant?" ”
"Don't go out, don't go out!" The tears of the county order came out, "No matter who it is, they will kill anyone when they see it." ”
"I'm afraid of these miscellaneous things, so I'll read his mother's name upside down!" Chade was indignant, and he opened the county order, and he was about to go out.
"You don't want that!" The county commander didn't know where the strength came from, but he was able to hold Chade's arm and prevent him from opening the door, "As soon as you open the door, everyone will die!" ”
"Bang!"
There was another loud bang, and the door of the inn suddenly collapsed, shaking Su Jin's ears with a sudden roar.
"Hahaha, there's still someone here!" Several strong men walked in with a smile, all of them carrying large knives, their eyes fierce, and their faces sinister.
Su Jin looked up, and saw that the men in front of him had large faces, rough skin, all of them were naked with bows on their backs, revealing their strong muscles, with quivers hanging from their waists, and wearing loose wide-legged leggings on their lower bodies, with the tips of their shoes cocked, and they looked like nomadic attire.
"Are there any women?" A black-faced man swept his gaze, "I'm holding back the fire!" ”
"Do you hold back your fire every day?" A man with a tattooed tiger head laughed, "Don't let Lao Tzu fart like this!" ”
"You know!" The black-faced man bared his teeth, "Lao Tzu is different from you monks who want to be monks!" ”
Rogue!
Hearing their conversation, Su Jin immediately frowned, holding the dagger at his waist in his hand, ready to protect himself at any time.
"It's all men." The tiger-headed man looked around with a big knife, "Men are boring, they only deserve to be killed!" Why don't you kill more than anyone? ”
"Wait a minute!" The black-faced man looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he pointed at Su Jin and said, "This is okay." ”
"Man, you want it too?" Someone laughed, "But this Da Wei man is weak, you can use it as a woman hahahaha......"
Su Jin's eyes widened suddenly.
After eating the bear's heart and leopard gall, I actually want to fall in love with your Grandpa Su?
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed, watching the black-faced man get closer and closer, pushing him with one hand and pulling Su Jin's sleeve with the other, and suddenly sneered.
"Here's a chance."
"What?" The black-faced man didn't push Xiao Yan, and was stunned.
"You kneel down and kowtow to her now to apologize, and I can still let you go." Xiao Yan stared at him.
The man swallowed,
Although this man's face was as usual, those eyes made people feel cold.
He unconsciously retreated, but he felt that he had to be afraid.
"Damn, can I still be afraid of you?"
He immediately raised his arm, and the big knife in his hand slashed through his head.
"You bastard, dare to be arrogant to Lao Tzu?"
