Chapter 215: The Boss of the Restoration Society
We continued to walk forward, and suddenly saw an old man herding cattle standing on the side of the road, the old man saw us coming, his expression was very strange, and he specially asked us where we came from, when he learned that we were from the Sangang Ling, the old man's face was frightened green, and he shouted "Ghost, ghost".
Even the crawling and rolling, the old man didn't even want his own cow, so he ran back, we wanted to explain, but how can we explain it? There is simply no chance.
When night fell, we finally found a foothold, a county seat.
According to Chen Zhenhui, this county seat will be reached tomorrow after another day's drive. I didn't know where I was going, so I couldn't help but ask them curiously, and I knew that we were going to Nanjing.
I even felt a little sad, followed for a long time, out of the time when I met the ghosts and evil spirits were sober, I was always confused, I don't even know where to go, can I not be sad?
Soon, we found an inn in the county, and saw that it was already evening and there were people to stay in the hotel, the shopkeeper Xiao Er and the proprietress were very enthusiastic, and the service attitude was also very good.
To say that in modern times, the little couples or tourists who stay in the hotel are almost at night or in the middle of the night, which is not comparable to ancient times.
It is estimated that there will be no more customers at night, and the proprietress of the store is very generous, giving us a lot of beef and wine.
To say that I also encountered too many evil ghosts when I lived in the hotel with Grimace before, and now I have a big shadow in my heart about staying in the hotel.
So when I slept all night, I was in a state of confusion, my vigilance was always carried up, and the sword was always by my side.
In this regard, Hou Fangyu and a few of them also said that I was too careful, and I also hoped that I was too careful, but be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, if you don't care about this one, it is very likely that you will lose your life, why relax a little if you can be a little more guarded?
It's true that I've thought too much about it, after all, this is in the county, where are there so many black spots, so many ghosts?
There was nothing to do all night, we got up very early to wash, and had a good meal of food and drink, and asked the proprietress to prepare a lot of wine and meat for us to eat on the road, and then we had to set off on our way.
There is nothing strange about this way, after all, the road out of the county is the avenue, and from time to time you will meet some caravans to walk together for a while, and it is not fun to go along the way, but it is still interesting.
But in the afternoon, at a three-way intersection, we were all shocked by the scene in front of us.
One of the directions of this intersection is to Nanjing, the other is naturally from our side, and the other is to the north.
At the three-way intersection, there are pedestrians everywhere, as if they are rushing to the market, but in fact, some of those pedestrians are carrying sweeps, some are dragging their families, and some are even lying on the road and can't even walk.
The whole area was full of wailing, crying fathers, mothers, wives, sons, and friends, all of whom looked like they were in low spirits, with blank faces, black, and oily, like refugees who had been on the road for a long time and had not eaten or washed for many days.
Looking at these people, we walked in, but before we could get closer, a group of people gathered around us to ask for food. Naturally, we are not vague about what we eat, and we can also give it, and we don't have that much money, but we still pick out those who are more serious to eat, especially children.
To be honest, seeing this scene, my heart is very uncomfortable, what is it that makes these people look like this, as for leaving their hometown?
If you want to say that those who have left their homes can have a bowl of rice to eat, then it is easy to say, but how do we know how many people starved to death along the way?
The things were almost gone, and I asked where these refugees came from, and if I didn't ask, I was at most curious, and after asking, we almost didn't faint.
It turns out that these refugees came from the north, and a few of them are still from outside the border, how can I not know what the rhythm is outside the border?
The Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty are fighting happily, these refugees are because of the persecution of the war, so they fled to the south, how many people came out and died on the road, I am afraid that when they die, they don't even stutter.
I feel very sad in my heart, especially after knowing the final outcome of history.
What kind of war is this? It's all their own family fighting their own family, who is fighting this war, it's all the people who suffer. If I could, I directly wanted them to know the development of the future generations, and at that moment, I think you would still fight or not?
It is said that we ate vegetables and meat, steamed buns, wine flatbread all scattered to these villagers in distress, they were moved to tears, kowtow to us, and finally we simply did not ride horses, and went directly to Nanjing together.
Although I don't know what their future will be, in this era, I'm afraid it's not going to be much better, but today here at least I saw them smile, without the earth-shattering wail, this is what I want to see, and it is the most meaningful thing I have done in this place other than to kill Ba Qing and go back.
Nanjing, this place has not been known since the history of many dynasties as the capital, far away, the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty (here it needs to be noted that the Ming Dynasty has built its capital in Beijing since Zhu Di. Nanjing is known as the Southern Dynasty, which is the second ruling center of Min Chao, and the bureaucratic system in it is the same as Beijing, and the Ming Dynasty was only used by Zhu Yuanzhang and his grandson as the capital, Zhu Di is the son of Zhu Yuanzhang. Isn't it the capital of Nanjing?
To say that this Nanjing is really developed, whether it is population, commerce, etc., or whatever, it is a city that is at the forefront of this era.
Together with the refugees, we slowed down a lot, and we arrived in Nanjing in the afternoon. However, the organization of refugees and the settlement of refugees Nanjing ** had long been prepared, and the refugees who went there were immediately arranged to a specific place.
I don't know where they're going, but at least they have food and drink, and they can settle down, which is also a merit, and I'm satisfied, at least I won't see the streets full of refugees.
Here I want to explain a little first, saying that the grace of a meal must be reciprocated, it is because of this time that I saved these refugees, and in the days that followed, they saved my life. But that's a matter of more to come.
Naturally, we were looking for an inn to live in, and if we didn't eat for a day, all of them were given to the refugees, and we were also so hungry that we ordered a lot of wine and meat in the inn and gobbled it up.
But before we were halfway through the meal, a man came over, followed by four bodyguard-like men, all with swords, and with a beard, who walked up to us and looked at us with a smile.
"In Xia Wu Yingji." The man hugged his fists and said politely and politely.
If you want to say what kind of character and identity this Wu Yingji is, I don't know, and I don't know it. However, Hou Fangyu and a few of them knew each other, they were too anxious to eat at the beginning, and they were also carrying Wu Yingji on their backs, and Wu Yingji didn't make a sound when he walked, and they didn't notice that Wu Yingji had come at all.
When he heard Wu Yingji's voice, the whole person was stunned, as if he jumped, and hurriedly stood up and hugged his fists to apologize.
This Wu Yingji is also a cheerful person, waved his hand and said that it was fine, and relieved us This is also a long way to come, and it is normal, it should be him to apologize to us.
In the end, Hou Fangyu introduced me to him, and when he heard my name, he was obviously stunned, and then he had a surprised expression, and said that I would have the bottom when I came. It's time for the stone in their hearts to fall, as if I was a very powerful person and highly respected.
However, this Wu Yingji did not come here to chat with us, but after appeasing us, he said that there were other things to do, let us live here, and when the time came, he would send someone to pick us up, and he would make up for it when the time came.
At the end of the year, we paid for the next house, meals, etc., and settled them to the owner of the store, and left, as if we were going to greet someone else.
I don't even know how he knew we were here, how he knew that we were staying in this inn, maybe he was very capable, and the whole city of Nanjing had his eyes.
After Wu Yingji left, I asked Hou Fangyu and the three of them if Wu Yingji was a deeply evil person.
It turned out that this Wu Yingji turned out to be the summoner initiated by the resumption of the society. To say that this person's ability is really a bit big, he has fought many court demons, and even fought with the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian, but he has not fought against Wei Zhongxian, in order to avoid trouble, he fled to Nanjing.
Although Wei Zhongxian is dead, there are now eunuchs like Ruan Dacheng in the imperial court, so for the sake of the imperial court, this time he gathered loyal and righteous people like us to come to this "big event" of the Nanjing top-state country, the purpose is to completely get rid of the national cancer like Ruan Dacheng.
After listening to these, I generally understand what kind of character this Wu Yingji is, and to put it nicely, he is a man of national aspirations and a patriotic youth.
