Chapter 254: Clash of the Three Clans
When I returned to the Phoenix Kingdom, it was already winter.
As soon as I crossed the border, the scenery in front of me immediately changed.
The population is quite large, but it has just experienced the war, and the traces that have been deeply engraved into the brick walls remain everywhere. Originally, the Nanyue Kingdom was only assisted by the Chiyang Kingdom, and although it was not poor, it was still a long way from prosperity and strength.
There is not a single high-rise building in sight, and the grass and fields have been almost destroyed during the war, although it has been rebuilt, the interest of the people is not high, and it is not as lively as the people of Chiyang, nor is it as lively as Chiyang. Although new stones have been added to the walls, they are very dilapidated, and even the shops in the town are depressed.
Chenguang had just returned from the Red Sun Country, and it felt like he had fallen from one world to another, and the two worlds were not on the same continent.
There was also a group of people scolding her.
After walking for seven days in a row, every day I could hear someone scolding her, one person scolding her, and most people echoed her, saying that she was a demon girl who brought disaster to the country and the people, and was the culprit who turned Nanyue into a hell on earth.
The places where the people live now are basically the land of the original Nanyue country, and the Nanyue people on the land still privately regard themselves as Nanyue people, and they are extremely repulsive to foreign invaders, whether they are Beiyue or Fengming. The peaceful ones who do not want to cause trouble keep this rejection in their hearts, and those who are more fierce directly regard the foreigners as enemies, and the conflict is fierce.
Gaosong is a small border city very close to Lianshan Pass.
Here, for the first time, Chenguang saw with his own eyes the fierce conflict between the three tribes of the South Vietnamese, the North Vietnamese and the Feng Ming people.
Although business is sluggish, the traders are still trying to make ends meet.
In the early morning market, some farmers from outside the city will carry their home-grown vegetables and grains to the city to sell in exchange for a little silver to supplement their families.
As he entered the city, he was attracted by a peculiar sight.
There were farmers dressed as vegetable vendors waiting in line to enter the city, but they did not come alone, nor did they come in groups of two or three, but a group of about a dozen people went into the city to sell vegetables.
Chenguang recognized at a glance that all of these people were Feng Mingren, because they were pale-skinned, their bodies were thin, and they were both beautiful in appearance for both men and women. It is precisely because all of them are Feng Ming people who feel strange in the morning, why do Feng Ming people come out in groups to sell vegetables?
At this time, she just sensitively felt that something was wrong.
But she didn't expect it to be that serious.
Gao Song is not big, the market is on both sides of the road, the city has a large population, the carriage can't go too fast, Chenguang saw that the vegetable vendors who entered the city before her set up stalls in the open space next to the street. Since there were vendors who arrived first, they could not be together when setting up the stalls, so they dispersed, and Morning Light noticed that each of them had a thick wooden stick in their luggage.
She frowned, feeling more and more that something was wrong, so she told Siba to drive the carriage to the alley around the corner and stop.
Although the business is sluggish, but in the same depression, the business of the Feng Ming people is even worse, the guests will directly cross the Feng Ming people's stall to buy other houses, occasionally make a deal, Chenguang noticed that the person who bought it should be the North Vietnamese if not the Feng Ming people.
In other words, the South Vietnamese people refused to buy the things of the Feng Ming people.
In this land, the number of South Vietnamese is greater than that of North Vietnamese than the number of Feng Ming people, that is to say, South Vietnamese talents are the majority, therefore, if you can't do business with South Vietnamese, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to make a living.
Soon, chaos ensued.
A group of South Vietnamese people suddenly appeared in the bazaar with sticks, shouting "Feng Ming Dog get out of Gao Song", while raising the sticks and starting to smash them, the screams of passers-by rang out, but most of the passers-by were able to flee in all directions very habitually, and soon the market was empty.
And those Feng Ming people who were smashed were also fully prepared, and quickly drew their sticks when the stall was smashed, and the people who had been scattered before gathered together and fought with the South Vietnamese who smashed the stall, and the fight was inextricable.
Morning Light watched them stick each other together, their heads bleeding.
About half an hour later, the officials of Gao Song's yamen rushed over, locked up the two people and took them away.
The street market, which used to be a little popular, has now become a dead street, empty.
The atmosphere inside the carriage became solemn.
Chang Xi, Huo Wu and the others looked at the morning light in silence.
Chenguang's face was ugly.
After being silent for a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "Go to Gao Song's Yamen." ”
Si Ba urged the horse, inquired all the way, and came to Gaosong County.
Gao Song is just a county seat, the county government is not big, and it is not magnificent, it is a courtyard that is a little larger than other places.
Chang Xi got out of the car with the phoenix card, and ordered the official guarding the door to go in to report, the official didn't know the phoenix card, and his attitude was arrogant, and he was kicked by Chang Xi fiercely, and then he crawled to the ground.
The county order of Gao Song County is a little brainy, and he guessed that the Feng lord came back from Chiyang Kingdom and passed by Gao Song, hurriedly sorted out his official uniform, and led the county master and others to come out and kneel to pick it up. Even if it is a small border town, the name of His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord is also like thunder, that is a ruthless god, although it is a woman, but it is a demon girl, a witch, a ghost girl, anyway, it is not a person.
It was really unexpected that she could come back alive from Chiyang Country.
Gao Song County Ling Zhao Zhi is forty years old, and he has been the county commander of Gao Song County for eight years, with thick eyebrows and square faces, but he is not the treacherous and slippery appearance imagined by Chenguang.
Zhao Zhixue knelt under the carriage uprightly and said loudly:
"Weichen participates in His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord! His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord Chitose! ”
The main gate of the county government opened, and the carriage entered through the main entrance, all the way to the front of the lobby, and the morning light covered with tulle got out of the carriage.
Except for the time when the war was fought, Chenguang passed by the county office once, this was the first time she really visited the county office, she held the hand of Huo Wu, walked around the solemn and solemn hall, and looked around.
The people of Gaosong County saw this legendary phoenix lord for the first time, even if they were covered with a veil, they could see that this was a stunning beauty, and when she just came out of the carriage, she was shining with gold, dazzling the eyes of others.
Zhao Zhixue and the others didn't dare to look at it anymore after just one glance, they lowered their heads and followed from a distance.
Chenguang circled around the county office twice, and finally sat down on the chair used by the county magistrate to try the case, glanced at the shocking wood, picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly slapped it on the table, the sound was loud, but she was startled.
Zhao Zhixue and the others were also startled, and knelt down together.
Chenguang put down the startled wood, glanced at Zhao Zhixue's face, and said softly:
"I thought what kind of bastard was the county magistrate of Gaosong County, it looks like a human, the county looks like a human, how did he raise a group of people but become a brute without a brain?"
Zhao Zhixue was shocked, and hurriedly said:
"His Royal Highness Lord Feng is angry, Weichen is stupid, I don't understand His Highness's meaning, please forgive His Highness, teach Weichen one or two, Weichen is grateful."
