Chapter Fifty-Three—Leaving Chen's Trail
It's just that in the last five days, except for the first day Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters also borrowed to live in the house, the rest of the four days the two brothers and sisters have not seen anyone who can borrow For Chen Xinyu, it is not a big pity to lose this kind of thing, but for other people with some status, this golden order of the lord of the country makes everyone feel a sense of self-danger. In other words, with this golden order, don't say that Weicheng is really in Weicheng, that is, every place in the entire Xuanling Continent can use this golden order. Of course, the two siblings also know that some people may not buy their account, but this golden order is indeed a potential deterrent. Even the current head of the Chen family did not dare to despise the power of this golden order.
Feng Shanshan's eyes were more acute than her brother's, her eyes followed the direction of her brother's finger all the way to the place where the sun was setting, and then, Feng Shanshan exclaimed: "Brother, you see there seems to be a town there! Look over there!"
Feng Yuchong's attention was always on the surrounding environment beside him, but he really didn't notice what was happening around him. When Feng Yuchong's gaze followed the location that his sister pointed out again, Feng Yuchong also saw the looming town in front of him, the scale of this town obviously did not look the size of a normal big city, it should be a small county town located in a relatively remote area. However, it's still a good thing, at least for today, I don't have to worry about finally sleeping on the streets.
Since this is already the case, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan naturally have no other hesitation, the two brothers and sisters feel that there is still such a last touch of sunset now, maybe the city gate of this town has not been closed yet, and they can still find a place to stay and settle down. After the last two days of travel, maybe they have more energy and time to go to the city to make the next plan.
So, the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, who had now made up their minds, immediately embarked on the journey to the town in front of them. Of course, this seemingly long distance was actually nothing in front of the two siblings, who had already reached the gate of the county, which did not seem too big, with the last touch of the sun. At this time, the guards standing at the gate of the city were shouting loudly for the last people to enter the city quickly, and the city gate began to slowly close at the same time. The county seemed to be isolated on a vast plain, with no other villages or towns around, and this small county town standing on the edge of the galloping road was usually quite populous, at least at this time, all the people
Two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, hurried over, and at the last moment they caught up with the last group to enter the county town where the plaque above the city gate reads "Lichen". Luckily, the guards around the neighborhood didn't notice much of the difference between the two siblings. As a result, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, had already entered this Lichen County very smoothly.
The number of people who entered this county town away from Chen County was not very large, although the recent situation in the past two days has led to the current situation being unusual, the relationship between the Chen family and the current lord of the country in Checheng has become more and more stiff, although the Chen family and the current royal family have not really started a battle, but the undercurrent of many aspects has already been transmitted to the ears of the people living near Checheng. Not to mention the armies and officials of all sides, so at this time, the neutral army forces on all sides have begun to secretly observe the current situation, and I am afraid that once the situation changes recently, it will not be as great as the current period.
In recent times, the military officials in these towns and villages belonging to the neutral realm have been in a state of wait-and-see, and now it is not for the fact that the situation is not very clear, and neither side has sent official emissaries or troops to effectively sweep or understand the current situation of these people. This has also led to the fact that these people and even officials who belong to the neutral realm now feel a feeling of being at a loss. Even in many neutral areas, such as the Lichen County where Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan came now, this is a very neutral place, but Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan do not know this. They had only heard some news about this Lichen County from the people along the way, and were ready to find a place for them to use.
So, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, continued to walk towards the city, and they immediately went to stay in a three-story restaurant that seemed to be closest to the center of the town. At this moment, the shopkeeper, who didn't care much about this matter, couldn't help but lower his voice, and invited Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two brothers and sisters, to the back hall.
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, looked at the shopkeeper in front of them who was dressed in gold and silver, and looked like an old businessman, and knew that businessmen were the most mercenary people. As long as they are given enough benefits, maybe they can really get a lot of help for Chen Xinyu. Along the way, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, two brothers and sisters, have also heard that now the royal Chen family and the emperor do not have a real sense of rebellion, but these small actions in the secret are continuous, and the others are at least far from the point of meeting each other on the battlefield, so these forces that belong to the neutral side are still in a wait-and-see attitude towards the situation in all aspects, which also includes this shopkeeper who looks very "generous".
The two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, did not intend to hide their true identities, because their true identities were too complicated, even if they said that they were the two envoys sent by Chen Xinyu, the current lord of the country, to go to Checheng to meet the head of the Chen family. The people in the surrounding towns still don't dare to do anything to them. So, Feng Yuchong nodded, and replied in a solemn and serious tone: "It's not a secret, we are not only from Weicheng, what we have received is also the power given to us by the supreme power of the human clan, don't you see what is written on this jade order?" After speaking, Feng Yuchong still seemed to be indifferent, and handed the jade order in his hand to the burly shopkeeper in front of him again.
Two rows of dozens of bright candles have been lit on both sides of the back hall of this inn, and the light of such bright candles makes the surrounding environment very difficult to see, and it is normal for the shopkeeper not to see the clues for the first time. At the same time as receiving this jade order, the shopkeeper in front of him immediately leaned under his eyes and carefully watched the different mysteries in it. After a while, the face of the shopkeeper in front of him already showed an extremely frightened face, and he even whispered in disbelief: "This is really Your Majesty's jade order." We are all in a state of confusion right now. Since the two of you have come here with His Majesty's jade order. That also shows that what His Majesty has done now is indeed a foreshadowing for us to leave this place early. I wonder what Your Majesty and the two envoys think about this matter now?"
This shopkeeper is naturally still a veteran in this kind of officialdom, even if he sees Chen Xinyu's golden token now, he actually knows that they must follow in the footsteps of the emperor. It's just that, as a qualified businessman who thinks he is very wise, how to make the most of it in this political whirlpool. That's what a businessman would love to accomplish every day.
So, the shopkeeper naturally began to talk to the two brothers and sisters in front of him, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, about the conditions, in fact, these two young people who looked like they were not even twenty years old did not bring him much surprise, after all, the golden order in the hands of these two brothers and sisters is enough to explain everything. The burly middle-aged shopkeeper personally poured tea leaves from Shanghai for the two siblings, Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, and then asked with a smile and a brisk tone: "In fact, this is not entirely the case now, at least we are in a wait-and-see state from Chen County and the surrounding counties, after all, the forces of these two sides have not really turned against each other so far, at least on the surface, they can't see that there are so many secrets hidden in it." However, the forces of the Chen family, the royal family living in Checheng, are rumored to have mastered the support of the five major families in the country, and now they have begun to secretly prepare for an uprising against the current monarch of the country. But we don't know the specific content of it, but if you don't mind, I can go and ask someone, maybe I can help you introduce this county order from Chen County, but I don't know yet, where do you plan to go?"
Feng Yuchong and Feng Shanshan, the two siblings, smiled, this is the nature of this kind of businessman they know, and this is really the nature of the country that is easy to change. Unless the merchant's life was threatened at any time, these things would never affect their true colors. Feng Yuchong's voice suddenly turned cold, "You don't need to know so much, do you think that with your current status and influence, you can say such things in front of us?"
