Fifteen minutes later, the arbor landed on a slightly deserted road northwest of Dingbei City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was a very ordinary dirt road, the road surface was four or five meters wide, and there was a thick layer of dust in many places.

A middle-aged farmer with a flat shoulder looked at the trees flying down from the sky, and his eyes widened.

When he saw Qiao Mu turn to him, the simple peasant immediately threw away the flat burden on his shoulders, shouted "Ghost", turned around and ran.

The corners of Qiao Mu's mouth twitched.

He used his telekinesis to form a resistance in front of the man, and pulled him back step by step.

"Don't worry, I'm not a ghost." Qiao Mu said helplessly.

The man struggled but found that he couldn't move, and couldn't help but turn around stiffly, his dark and thin face still full of fear.

Qiao Mu waved his hand, and five silver dollars flew out of his pocket and levitated in front of the man.

"Answer me a few questions, and they'll be yours." Arbor Road.

The silver dollars were found by Qiao Mu from the Overseer's Palace, after all, he could not have used the gold he had collected from the Pharaoh's treasury everywhere.

What's more, for ordinary people, having such gold artifacts is likely to cause trouble for those who are given it.

Five silver dollars, in this era, is enough to buy a ploughing ox.

For this ordinary farmer, its appeal speaks for itself.

The fear in the man's eyes was quickly replaced by greed, but he restrained himself from reaching out.

He shook his throat, looked at Qiao Mu, and said with a little humility and cowardice: "Okay...... Good. ”

"Where is this?" Qiao Mu asked.

The man replied: "This is Niubeiling, which belongs to Heping County, Baochuan City, Anbei Province. ”

"How far is the command of the Patriotic Army from here?" Arbor Road.

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and the cowardice on his body suddenly disappeared, and he hesitated and asked, "Are you looking for the Patriotic Army?" ”

Qiao Mu nodded, feeling a little strange in his heart.

The man's eyes moved, looked behind Qiao Mu, saw his shadow, and couldn't help but be a little bolder, and said, "You are really not a ghost?" ”

Qiao Mu looked at him with a smile: "Do you think there is such a good talking ghost?" ”

The man scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "The Patriotic Army is stationed in Heping County, and along this road all the way to the west, about four or five miles, the headquarters is next to the City God Temple. ”

After a pause, he said with some emotion: "The Patriotic Army is an army that is truly willing to serve the people." ”

Qiao Mu's eyes flashed, and he looked at the man deeply.

He felt the mentality of the other party, and the three words "Patriotic Army" brought infinite courage to deal with it.

"This Patriotic Army is really a little different." Qiao Mu thought to himself.

Using his telekinesis to control the vegetables that fell on the ground to fly into the basket, and at the same time left the five silver dollars on the flat pole that was firmly resting between the two baskets, and Qiao Mu turned away.

Looking at his back, the old farmer who went to the city to sell vegetables held the heavy silver dollar in his hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he muttered: "What a good person, it's really rare these days." ”

Stepping on some dry and hard ground, every step of the arbor could make the dust fly under his feet, but there was not a single dust on his clothes.

As the trees walked, they observed their surroundings at the same time.

Compared to the countryside on earth, the land here is filled with a kind of decaying desolation.

In his vision, the fields that should be overgrown with crops were only messy with weeds, and only occasionally he could see patches of millet, green swaying in the wind.

In the fields, the peasants who can rarely be seen, and even if they occasionally appear in the field of vision, they are all old and unbearable, like tombstones erected in the fields, or lonely wild ghosts......

"This is the plague of soldiers." Sorrow arose in Qiao Mu's heart.

He had already heard from inside the city that young men would be arrested as soon as they showed up, and most of the people who remained in the countryside were old people.

In addition, in recent years, Song Kaiyun, the provincial governor, in order to raise military expenses and collect money, has agitated the planting of tobacco, which has destroyed a lot of fertile land, so that this former granary in Guanzhong is now barren.

Qiao Mu's pace was not fast, so that when he walked outside the county seat, it was already half an hour later.

Closer to the county seat, there is more greenery in the fields, and busy farmers are not as scarce as before.

Qiao Mu saw the city wall from a distance, but compared to the somewhat mottled and dilapidated city wall of Dingbei City, the city wall of this county town was even more unbearable.

It is only made of bricks and stones below, and it is all earth above two meters, and the overall height is seven or eight meters, and there are many gaps.

Around the city wall, Qiao Mu saw many soldiers with guns.

Compared with those soldiers in Dingbei City, the spiritual qi of these soldiers was obviously different.

If those soldiers in Dingbei City are a group of ruffians who eat and wait for death, then they are the real soldiers who defend their homes and defend the country!

Qiao Mu walked outside the county seat and was quickly stopped by a soldier.

The other party had a wary face on his face, and asked Qiao Mu several questions in a row, and his tone was always very polite.

"I'm looking for your commander-in-chief." Qiao Mu said.

The soldier looked surprised and asked, "Do you know our Commander-in-Chief Ye?" ”

Qiao Mu shook his head: "I've heard his name, but I've never met him." ”

"Wait a minute." The soldier said politely to Qiao Mu.

He turned and ran to their commander, and after a few words, the man in the officer's uniform came over.

After all, Qiao Mu's clothing temperament was very different from that of ordinary people in this era, so his presence attracted the attention of this officer.

"Mr. Qiao, I am Shi Kaixun, the commander of the garrison battalion of the sixth detachment of the Patriotic Army, may I ask you ......?"

He was halfway through his speech when he was abruptly interrupted.

"The commander is back!"

Shi Kaixun Huo Ran turned his head, and really saw a car driving on the dirt road in the distance.

Everywhere the car passed, a cloud of dust rolled up.

Qiao Mu's eyes narrowed, and he could clearly see some bullet holes in the body.

Apparently, the car was the one that came out of the Overseer's Palace.

A look of grotesqueness flashed across Qiao Mu's face.

As the vehicle got closer, the strangeness on his face grew heavier.

There were four people in the car.

In addition to the first two who appeared in the Overseer's Palace, there were two others, one of whom had a relationship with Arbor.

Just as Qiao Mu was thinking about this, the car had already reached the city wall.

Chirping......

The car stopped.

Except for the driver, the other three got out of the car one after another.

Shi Kaixun and the soldiers around him stood upright and saluted the three of them.

"Commander Huang!" Shi Kaixun looked at one of the three with respect in his eyes.

The man nodded slightly towards Shi Kaixun, but his eyes were on Qiao Mu, and a trace of doubt flashed.

Naturally, he was also very impressed by the arbor, and Dingbei City was not close to here, so they came by car at the fastest speed all the time, but the arbor had already appeared in advance......

Qiao Mu didn't pay attention to the other party's doubts, but smiled: "We meet again." ”
