Chapter 16: Guy Answer

When the sky was light, Wu Ji came to the place where the Qingzhu River joins the Quanhe River.

To the north of the confluence of the two rivers is the low town of Quanhe.

The castle is only about five meters high, and the material is built with a mixture of stone and rammed earth, mottled, and moss grows in some places, and in the early morning mist, under the cover of wild trees and old vines, there is an atmosphere of a desolate ancient city.

The gates of the city were opened, and there were no soldiers guarding them, so they let people go in and out.

Wu Ji walked into the town.

There is a wide avenue on the front, there are shops on both sides, there are two or three storey small buildings, there are some breakfast stalls on the road, steaming, there is the sound of pots and pans touching each other, pedestrians walking, there are people carrying buckets to fetch water, buying vegetables, practicing martial arts shirtless in their own yards, naughty children don't know what to do, although there are not many, they also make up some life and prosperous atmosphere.

"After so many years, the world is finally what it is! ”

Wu Ji stood on the side of the street, holding a gun in one hand and his waist in the other, carrying a worn-out package and sighing.

A stall owner selling flatbread rolls with scallion meat asked, "Young man, have a cake?"

Wu Ji nodded: "Ten comes!"

The stall owner glanced at Wu Ji suspiciously, and was very skeptical that he could afford to wear patched clothes.

Wu Ji took out a small ingot of silver from his arms, threw it in his hand, and asked, "Is it enough?"

"Enough is enough, enough to buy my whole stall!" The stall owner immediately smiled and made cakes with a happy smile.

Wu Ji asked for some bean paste and ate it with the flatbread and meat.

After eating, Wu Ji went to the carriage and horse shop and asked if there was a convoy to go.

This situation was greeted by Wu Ji at Han Haojie, the road from the town to the middle of the county seat is long and dangerous, it is best to follow the convoy organized by the carriage and horse company, it is nothing more than to pay a little money.

There happened to be two small caravans renting carriages on the side of the carriage and horse shop, plus some guests going to the county seat, to form a convoy and set off tomorrow.

Wu Ji paid a piece of silver, pre-rented a place, and made an appointment to come over the next morning.

Then I found an inn, asked for an upper room, and asked Xiao Er to bathe in a bucket of bath water and start to rest. I ran all night at night, so tired.

The next day, Wu Ji arrived at the carriage and horse shop on time.

Between the two dozen horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, there were quite a few merchants, guards, coachmen, and men, who were loading and accounting for the goods. Soon everything was ready, and the convoy drove out of town.

The antique carriages, the hot snorts of the cows and horses, the trampling of hooves, and the sound of whips waving. In Wu Ji's opinion, it is very charming.

Suddenly, Wu Ji received a system task.

New mission: Ahead of the canyon, early warning convoy, escape from the bandit ambush. Reward: Fly on the grass.

New Mission: Lvliu Village ahead, kill the demon beast of Chong Village. Reward: Corresponding internal force points.

Hearing the task, Wu Ji was happy. Without him, if you cultivate by yourself, your strength will improve too slowly, and if you have a task, you can be fast and have high strength. What's more, there is also a reward for flying on the grass!

But it's also quite dangerous.

The first time I went out, I met bandits!

The reward of light work flies on the grass, and I am afraid that it is also to escape smoothly when I can't beat it.

But there's still a task to do!

Wu Ji got out of the carriage.

The chariot and horse companion saw it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Ji replied: "It's okay, I just don't want to stay in the carriage anymore, I'm so bored, I'll get down and take a walk." ”

Anyway, the money has already been paid, and the guest likes to walk naturally with him, so the guy nodded and said no more.

Wu Ji got out of the car to check the road, only to see that it was a loess road overgrown with weeds on both sides, not too wide, and the two carriages walked side by side, which was a little crowded, and the wheels were pressed against the weeds.

Looking ahead, it is even more miserable, the road is not straight at all, there are some potholes in some places, and there are either grass or trees on both sides, which looks desolate.

As for the canyon, I don't know how many miles ahead.

After Wu Ji finished checking, he approached a guy and said, "Big brother, how far is it from here to the county seat?"

The guy glanced at Wu Ji's patched clothes, and replied nonchalantly: "It's quite far." ”

Wu was extremely unhappy!

So he took out a handful of silver and copper coins from his bosom, tossed them in his hand, and said, "Man, ten copper plates, answer me a few questions." ”

"Okay, you say, officer. ”

"How far is it from here to the county seat?"

"One hundred and twenty-six miles. But the road is not easy to walk, our team of people, we have to walk for three days. ”

"Is there a place ahead, a canyon?"

"Yes, you are familiar with the road, guest officer! It is more than ten miles ahead, and it is almost time for lunch. ”

"Are there any bandits or robbers nearby?"

"Well, I heard that there is a Black Wind Village, and there are robbers, bandits, and thieves in it. However, our hosts have dealt with them, and they usually don't come to rob us. Even if you meet it, give some filial piety and it will pass, and the guest officer doesn't have to worry!"

"Is there a village in front of you called Green Willow Village?"

"Yes. The village is quite large, and it is on the way to the county seat, where the convoy should rest for the night tonight. ”

"What's your name?"

"The little one is called the second dog. ”

......

In the end, it took ten copper plates, and Wu Ji got the news he wanted.

Judging by the news from the guys, it is almost impossible for the convoy to be ambushed by bandits. However, Wu Ji believed more in the task of the system, and there must be an ambush of bandits.

So it's probably because the bandits have encountered some big changes.

But no matter what happens to the bandits, they still want to fly on the grass. What's more, the safety of the convoy is almost equal to your own safety, so for now, you can do the task with peace of mind, and don't be curious about what's going on with the bandits.

However, what kind of method is used to remind the team?

I guess people will laugh twice, and it's good enough not to treat you as a psychopath.

Walking alone in front of the convoy and entering the cliffs on both sides of the canyon to search out the bandits? There is only one life, so it's better not to be so wavering.

What to do?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with a perfect solution, and I was quite impatient.

Seeing that time passed little by little, Wu Ji finally felt a heart: What do you do with so many scruples? What can you do that is 100% in line with your heart? If you go shopping on the street, you may even be hit by a car!

It's decided, just light a torch on the edge of the cliff and throw it inside, shouting bandits as you throw it, I found you, there is a high chance that the bandits will be immediately tricked or burned, and there is a small possibility that they will encounter danger.

It's totally worth it to fly on the grass for light work!
