Chapter 242: What Happened Halfway

said goodbye to Jin Haoxuan and re-embarked on the journey to Zixi.

The reason why she left from Yaoguo this time, instead of from the Dark Kingdom, was really not because Xiang Zixi was cautious, jealous, and didn't want to see Jin Haoxuan, but because she had her own considerations.

First of all, to what extent has Yaoguo recovered after that turmoil?

Second, can the morale of the military be stabilized? Under the situation of army adjustment, has it ever caused a commotion? If it caused a commotion, has Xiahou Junhao subsided?

Thirdly, what is the living condition of the people of Yaoguo? Can taxes ever be raised? Does Yaoguo have the awareness to face the crisis?

In the end, I naturally wanted to go home and have a look.

After all, I have been away from home for so long, and I have never returned to Wuxian, and I don't know what has become of my family!

All of this is to be seen with one's own eyes, to be heard with one's own ears, not by hearsay.

Since you have decided to take this matter upon yourself, you must be conscious, and be conscious of accepting all this!

Even if you go from Yaoguo to Lingguo, the road is indeed almost half the way farther than any road in the Dark Kingdom. However, the victory is that the roads are wide, and the mountains and ravines are rare, and in terms of speed alone, it may not be slow!

Besides, Xiang Zixi has really climbed the mountain enough, and now she is climbing the mountain with two fat girls, so she has to be tired and half dead?

It's okay to drive a carriage now, but once you really walk, don't expect your two fat girls to stick to the end! If you leave them behind, you can't bear to say anything to Zixi! They have nothing left for themselves, how can they leave them alone?

In the past, because he had a family business, he could at least give them a home. Now that I have nothing, how can I leave them alone? Anyway, I have to marry them off in a beautiful way to fulfill my responsibility.

It is precisely based on such considerations that Xiang Zixi decided to take the big road from Yaoguo instead of taking the small road from the dark country.

Xin Zeyang's driver's carriage was driving quickly on the official road, the road was a little muddy because of a light rain not long ago, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, most of them were merchants or ordinary people who were visiting relatives and friends.

Xin Zeyang slowed down, frowned and said, "The rain here is extremely heavy, and the road surface has become something, there is no way to leave at all!" ”

Xiang Zixi lifted the curtain, glanced outside a few times and said, "Forget it, it's not too early, let's quickly find an inn to stay in first, and then leave tomorrow!" ”

Little Fat Fat Fat stretched hard in the carriage and said, "Oh my God, this bumpy road is really about to break up the bones of the whole body!" Miss, let's prepare some hot water for you to soak in the evening to get rid of the fatigue on your body! ”

Xiang Zixi was just about to answer, when suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the horses outside the carriage let out a neighing sound, and their front hooves were raised high, almost overturning the carriage!

Xiang Zixi suddenly lifted the curtain and looked outside: "What happened?" ”

Xin Zeyang said lightly: "It seems that someone has fainted in front!" Would you like to go over and have a look? ”

Xiang Zixi jumped out of the carriage and looked in front of the horse, only to see an old woman lying in the muddy water, unable to see clearly face down.

Xiang Zixi slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand to try the old woman's neck, and suddenly shook his head lightly and said, "It's out of gas!" It's so weird! Why did you faint and lose your breath when you were so good? ”

frowned slightly, turned the old woman over, and looked at it, the old woman was thin, rickety, and obviously malnourished.

"Good and dignified, peaceful and prosperous, how can anyone starve to death?" Xin Zeyang also walked over, frowned and said, "Could it be that it is another unscrupulous organization, buying and selling people?" ”

Little Fat Fat Little Fat Fat slowly "rolled" over, glanced at the old woman who had died, listened to Xin Zeyang's words and said, "How is it possible? If you want to buy and sell, how can a handsome person like you, an old man in his sixties, be a human trafficker? Maybe something happened to the family and became like this! Maybe it's someone from the neighborhood! ”

At this time, more and more people gathered around, looked at the appearance of the old man, and shook their heads: "Evil! What a sin! At such an old age, you have to come out to beg for a living! ”

"This big brother, do you know this old man?" Xiang Zixi looked up at a middle-aged man in his thirties next to him, this man was dressed in simple clothes, with patches stacked on top of him, which showed that life was very down.

When the patch man heard Zi Xi ask, he immediately said hesitantly: "Where is it, how can I know her?" I don't know, I don't know at all! ”

Xiang Zixi laughed lightly: "Since you don't know her, how do you know that she came out to beg for a living instead of visiting relatives?" ”

The patched man said to the old woman on the ground, "Look at the clothes on her body, where is there any good place?" Both hands are calluses and mouths, and at a glance, you can tell that you work a lot and often catch water. Looking at her so thin, she must not be able to eat enough! Don't beg for life, she died earlier! ”

Xiang Zixi continued to ask: "This big brother, the clothes on your body are also patches, which shows that you should know her lifestyle very well, so ————"

"I didn't say anything!" The patch man panicked and fled!

Xiang Zixi looked at Xin Zeyang and the others, completely unsure of what was going on.

At this time, a good deed person gently tugged on Zixi's sleeve and said softly: "Girl, you are all strangers, right?" You don't know yet, there is a bully here, relying on being a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is powerful everywhere! He drove out the villagers of several nearby villages and usurped their fields. Then let the young workmen, and the old ones drive out of the village to beg for food! ”

Little Fat Fat Eyes Glared: "How can there be such a beast?" ”

Xiang Zixi raised his hand slightly, stopped Xiao Feifei's speech, and continued to ask, "Then don't you care about the local county order?" ”

"Tube? How? The other party is a relative of the emperor, and his status is higher than that of the county order, where does the county order dare to care? Besides, if there is no county order to be an accomplice, how can that bully take away the land that others rely on so smoothly? The insider broke the news and said: "And I also heard that this bully has an even more amazing identity, it is said that his sister is a strange woman who is famous in the four countries, and her name is Xiang Zixi!" Who dares to offend him, you say? ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Xiang Zixi and the others suddenly widened!

Miscellaneous...... What?!

"Wait, you mean this bully's sister is really named Xiang Zixi? Is that the Xiang Zici who won the food festival competition? "Zhengpai Xiang Zixi almost couldn't even speak, it's all this evil old society! If you had the Internet, who would dare to impersonate it so boldly!

"Not like that! Not only won the food festival, but also outwitted the eldest princess of Ziqing, and won a complete victory without spending a single soldier! Girl, you probably don't go out at home every day, right? You don't know, Xiang Zixi's prestige is amazing! The insider continued to break the news with spittle: "If you want to say that this is a pity, but the most legendary woman in the four countries, it is said that she is dressed in white clothes and white skirts, with long hair fluttering, beautiful as a fairy, good at sound and rhythm, and proficient in all kinds of weapons in seventy-two changes and thirty-six weapons!" ”

Xiang Zixi glanced at his dark green shirt and trousers, which were simple to the extreme, and he was almost as sloppy as a flower child. This image has nothing to do with those adjectives, does it? Or is there two Xiang Zixi in the world? Crossing by yourself and then crossing again?

Xin Zeyang burst out laughing.

Little Fat Fat Fat Fat covered her mouth, and her eyes were crooked with laughter.

Seeing Xiang Zixi's face getting greener and darker, Xin Zeyang knew that he couldn't leave this time! If Xiang Zixi didn't figure out how she would leave, she wouldn't be Xiang Zixi!

After the insider broke the news, he kindly reminded her: "You are all extroverts, and strong dragons don't suppress the head snake." So, girl, leave it alone, let's go! Out of this realm, who knows who? ”

"Lang Lang, the emperor's grace is mighty, and he is allowed to run rampant?" Xiang Zixi's eyes were about to pop out!

"Oh, I said girl! I'm here for your own good! Look what you're really talking to me! The emperor is far away, and here is two thousand miles away from the capital, and when the emperor of the capital knows, the daylily is already cold! Don't talk about it, girl, you guys do it for yourselves! The insider shook his head and left.

Xiang Zixi gritted his teeth and said, "His grandmother's banana pulling!" There are still people pretending to be Aunt Ben! That damn boy must not be spared! Xin Zeyang, bury this old man in the woods! ”

Xiang Zixi returned to the carriage angrily, and Xiao Fei Xiao Chubby hurriedly followed: "Miss, where are you going?" ”

"Go to a nearby town!" Xiang Zixi gritted his teeth and said: "Since it is a bully nearby, it must be a frequent resident in the town, let's go and inquire about the news!" I want to see what the person who pretended to be me to Zizi looks like! ”

After Xin Zeyang dug the pit and buried the old woman, he jumped into the carriage again and drove the carriage towards the town not far ahead!

This town is called Xiaoxiang Town, and it was renamed to distinguish Xiangjia Town from Wuxian County. You must know that there can only be one Xiangjia Town in the entire Yaoguo, that is, the town where the dignified Xiang Zixi Xiang was born, and other towns and villages do not have the right to call this name!

So, those who like famous brands have a small town! Hey! In recent years, there are also famous brands?

As soon as he arrived in Xiaoxiang Town, Xiang Zixi immediately noticed the strange atmosphere in the town. It was as if something was going to happen, and it was lifeless.

The four of them found the only inn in the town and stayed at the tip. It's obviously an inn next to the official road, but it's not a source of customers, and it feels desolate.

The innkeeper who received Xiang Zixi also had a sad face, and he didn't have the joy of doing business at all, Xiang Zixi couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" How to cry the face of the mourner? ”

"Alas, a few people should not ask more, stay quietly, and leave at dawn. Don't ask, don't ask! ”
