In the afternoon, Bai Ling slowly walked towards the city gate of Tunlongpi with his burden on his back.

She deliberately bypassed the main road of the tea shop, and walked crookedly through the forest, walking for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the city gate.

The gates here are not tall or imposing, but they are long.

It is not so much the city gate of Tunlongpi as the northern Great Wall of the Great Zhou Dynasty that happens to have two branches, passing through the north and south of Tunlongpi.

Bai Ling took out the road to guide the official to inspect, and the man was stunned when he saw it, "Yo, another one!" ”

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and cooperated with the official to check his baggage, originally thinking that the official would have any special questions to ask, but he didn't expect that after checking the luggage, the city gate would be directly released.

"This official," Bai Ling was a little curious, "what did you just say, 'another one'?" ”

"Say you're dead!" The official looked at her, "When you left the city from Jiangzhou, did you go with the caravan from Zhuozhou Mansion?" ”

“…… Ah, yes. Bai Ling nodded, and chased again, "But they go fast and have to collect money, so I'm alone." ”

"It's good to be alone, it's all fate." The official looked at Bai Ling, "You don't know yet, do you?" That group of caravans was robbed and killed by the mountain bandits, more than a dozen people, none of them survived, thanks to you walking slowly, otherwise you would die with them under the knife of the mountain bandits! ”

Bai Ling was shocked for a moment, and shivered coldly, "...... Unexpectedly...... There is such a thing! ”

The official had a smile on his face, "I've seen a lot", "There is also a person in front of you who holds the same order, and when I hear this news, I also react with you, you are all blessed people in your life." ”

"Yes, God forbid." Bai Ling chimed in.

"That's a bit of a problem again, isn't it?" The official said with a smile, "It's not that God protects you, it's the Chang family army who protects you!" ”

"Chang Jiajun?"

"Yes, General Chang Sheng Chang happened to arrive in Zhuozhou in the past two days, and I heard that the mountain bandits and river bandits in the Jiangbei area took advantage of the autumn to make trouble, so he sent an elite mobile of the Changjia Army to suppress the bandits, otherwise you still want to walk to our Tunlongpi alone safely? I really want to do a good thing......"

A thunderclap sounded in Bai Ling's mind.

Thinking back to the night of the inn horror a few days ago, those heroic stable guards and bronze bells, and all the strange things that Li Yiru heard and saw later......

They were afraid that it was not the horse thieves who stole the head of the Chang family's army.

"Chang Jiajun first suppressed a small number of mountain bandits in the official post, and after catching them, he interrogated them, and learned that several groups of bandits were going to gather here in the official post that night, and guess what, Chang Jiajun ambushed in the post station that night and served these people in a pot!

"That guy, it's really a coincidence that he didn't write a book - it's a pity that the dozen or so Zhuozhou people, they were killed and the Chang family army arrived and they didn't save them. It's fate, and I can't blame anyone—"

Not far behind the official, someone shouted at him and asked him what he was doing.

The official was shuddered, and immediately made a straight face, "I won't talk to you in detail, if you want to listen, after entering the city, you can find a teahouse casually, sit down and listen to Mr. Storyteller's lecture and you will know the details." Let's go, let's go. ”

"Huh." Bai Ling nodded, took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned back again, "...... There is one more thing I would like to ask. ”

"Huh?"

"'Deer Hunter'...... Is it also an elite under the Chang family's army? Bai Ling asked softly.

The official frowned, his expression obviously a little confused, "What 'deer hunter'?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head, "Maybe I heard it from me, and I also heard other pedestrians talk about it on the road." ”

"It doesn't sound like a serious army," the official said with a somewhat disgusted expression, "In the past few years, many people outside liked to use the name of the Chang family army, and they did dirty things for the wrong thing...... Chang Jiajun is Chang Jiajun, and he will not give himself such strange names. ”

"Understood." Bai Ling nodded, "Thank you for your advice!" ”

Leaving the city gate, Bai Ling bought a bamboo hat on the side of the street to shade the sun, and squatted to chat with the stall owner for a while.

In the early years, this town has been called "Tunnongpi", and it is a very ordinary place. Until the early years of Jianxi, Emperor Jianxi rested here during his first northern tour.

The south of Zhuozhou and the north of Jian'an River are plains, and there are few continuous mountains, but there are a small undulating mountains in this part of Tunnongpi.

The town is concave and flanked by the old Great Wall, which has been abandoned, and looks like a small natural pass.

Emperor Jianxi felt that this place was not ordinary at that time, and asked what kind of place this was, but he mistakenly heard "Tunnong" as "Tunlong", and because Jun had no jokes, this town was renamed homeopathically.

Tunlongpi is really a very small town, although the town has been expanded several times from the beginning of Jianxi to the present, but ordinary people only need to spend more than three hours to circle the entire Tunlongpi around the city wall.

"The walls to the south look pretty new." Bai Ling smiled, "It doesn't look like an 'abandoned' old city wall......

"At that time, it was renovated a few years ago," the old man who set up the stall replied with a smile, "There can be one more pass like this." ”

"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded, "I see that the villages to the south of here are all empty, so it should be the gold thief." ”

"yes." The old man still smiled, "But it's been much better in the past few years, don't you see?" ”

Bai Ling smiled and nodded, "Why didn't the old man leave here?" I see that some of the northerners have gone south to avoid the chaos. ”

"I'm old, I can't run." The old man smiled open-mindedly, "I always follow the team of the Shen family's army, they say that where they want the people to withdraw, I will follow them, I have lived here for the past two years, and it is very peaceful." ”

Bai Ling's eyes lit up, "Is General Shen also in Tunlongpi?" ”

"That's no," the old man said with a smile, "How can we raise an old general in our small place, General Shen is usually in the military camp in Zhuozhou, I heard that he went to Fuzhou a few days ago, and I don't understand the specifics." ”

"......I see," Bai Ling nodded, putting the bamboo hat on his head, "Thank you." ”

"Little brother is a foreigner?"

"Yes," Bai Ling nodded, "My father and brother served in the army in Jingzhou, so I came with me." ”

The old man showed a little approving surprise on his face, "You are also here to join the army?" ”

"Not really," Bai Ling shook his head, "it's just that there is no one at home, and I am bored to stay alone in the south, so I came to them." ”

"Oh," the old man nodded, squinting his eyes and thinking for a while, "Jingzhou is General Chang's station, if you want to join the army, this is convenient." ”

"How?"

"General Chang has been in Tunlongpi for half a month." The old man smiled and said, "In the east, on the edge of our town's ancestral hall. ”
