Chapter 57: The Savage Princess (4)
However, there are always accidents in this world, and no matter how smart a person is, he can't compete with the complaints of his pig teammates.
The little guy beside Bai Yunfei muttered a few words, which provoked the bandits to be angry, and they picked up the big knife and came up to cut it.
Bai Yunfei was also tired, scolded the little guy, picked up the fan and went up to meet the enemy.
The bandits were nothing more than a rabble, but they couldn't stand the few weak scholars, and the bandits who sprinkled mud and lime, and his white clothes were dirty.
Among them, there was a strong man with a big knife who slashed towards them viciously, and he was about to cut Wen Tao's side, Wen Tao avoided his head, and the bandit was another knife, Wen Tao shook his head, two fingers were clamped on the big knife, and the bandit couldn't swing the knife for half a minute.
Bai Yunfei smiled and sighed: "Good kung fu! "In the blink of an eye, there are already a few hits.
Wen Tao said a little proudly: "That's, this is the King Kong Finger." ”
In fact, this kid has been brainwashed by Wen Mei'er, and the vajra finger that Wen Mei'er exaggerated is a killer weapon in his opinion, but in fact, the vajra finger is mainly defensive, so that the enemy's attack can't hurt himself.
After all, in this world, martial arts are indeed not very strong.
The student who was pushed away wiped his sweat: "Wen Tao, why didn't I know that you could also do martial arts?" ”
Wen Tao solved a bandit, and said without looking back: "Usually it's nothing, what am I doing with martial arts?" Stir up trouble? ”
The student touched his head: "It seems to be the same." ”
In the blink of an eye, they had dealt with a bunch of bandits, tied them to a tree with ropes, and counted seventeen of them, among whom the one who was called the boss was also the most beaten.
Wen Tao asked Bai Yunfei: "You don't look like a kind person." ”
Bai Yunfei smiled, "You know again?" He looked at the groves everywhere, and checked the white jade jade pendant that he had just scavenged from the bandit, "No, a beggar took my things from me just now, and I chased them here, but I didn't expect this to be a thief's cave, and they have everything, robbing and robbing things." ”
"Then you're enough, for such a thing, you chased dozens of miles of road, and you can't see that there is no village here." Wen Tao said with a smile.
Bai Yunfei looked at their group of people, in uniform white student uniforms, "What, go on a study tour?" ”
Wen Tao nodded, he suddenly felt a little familiar when he saw the white jade pendant just now, but he couldn't quite remember where he had seen it, it was really strange.
"If you go from this road, you will definitely pass through Yangcheng, Yangcheng is in a famine, don't you know?" As he spoke, he knocked his head with a fan again, "Oh, I forgot that I haven't heard of this matter from the north of Yangcheng to the capital, and I still wonder when I come out of Yangcheng!" ”
Indeed, there were no refugees or warning along the way, and even none of them received any news that there was a shortage here, and the well-informed government students were even more surprised.
Wen Tao looked at this person who suddenly turned the topic to this one a little strangely, and felt that this matter was too coincidental, whether it was from the appearance of the bandits and the timing of this person's appearance, or the fact that this person revealed the famine in Yangcheng, how could he think that this person had another purpose, but their group of people were all people with lofty ideals who usually had fun, and few of them were too lonely and pedantic, and few of them were in the middle of the court.
What's the use of telling them? Hopefully, he's thinking too much.
Yangcheng is still prosperous, with a lot of traffic, and it can't get along with the famine!
And Bai Yunfei just fanned the fan and looked unfathomable, but in the eyes of everyone, he had become a liar who played with them, Bai Yunfei was bored with himself, smiled and drank a few sips of cold tea, and then left.
Now Wen Tao doesn't think he is interesting, he thinks this person is strange, but this Yangcheng is also strange, although it is prosperous, but when those people's eyes look at it, it is strange and uncomfortable, and a few students who traveled with him are the same, they bought some dry food and jerky that are more expensive than usual, and after a day of repair, they hurriedly went on the road.
When they arrived at the destination, news came from the capital, and sure enough, there was a famine in Yangcheng.
Wen Tao frowned, there was a lot of rain and no locusts in Yangcheng, looking at the surrounding scenery was full of greenery, what kind of famine was there?
When Wen Tao received the secret letter, Wen Meier had already arrived in Yangcheng, that is, I heard that Wen Tao had passed through Yangcheng, which was an eventful autumn, and he was not very relieved, so he rushed all the way to the direction of Yangcheng, but he did not expect to find a monster in collusion with the local magistrate in Yangcheng, causing all the grains in Yangcheng to be fruitless, and then intended to make huge profits.
It was the first time she had encountered a monster in the world outside the world of cultivating immortals, so she stayed there out of curiosity, and secretly helped the secret visit Qin Cha to obtain some evidence of corruption and perversion of the law in the county, but as for why the grains did not grow, this became a mystery.
After the magistrate was imprisoned, the grains in Yangcheng began to grow, some people said that God was blaming, and some people said that the magistrate was a demon...... There are many theories, and there are many different ones.
Due to the urgency of the situation and being concealed for so long, there have been many refugees from Yangcheng who have spread out all the way, without food and silver, displaced, and some of the refugees who are closed to the news are afraid of being obstructed by the government, so they deliberately took the mountain road to the capital, which was already a group of people in rags at that time, and it was very spectacular.
And this is indispensable for the shadow of the power of several vassal kings.
Wen Tao was urgently recalled to the capital by his father, and when he returned to the capital and talked to Wen Mei'er, he vaguely remembered the strange Bai Yunfei, as well as ...... That jade pendant!
A token of the prince of Yunnan!
Wen Tao was very annoyed, and only now did he remember this matter and tell his eldest sister about it.
Wen Mei'er didn't blame him, but showed an indescribable smile, well, anyway, Wen Tao saw his hairs stand up.
"Now there is an opportunity to atone for your sins."
Wen Tao felt that something was wrong and wanted to slip away, but Wen Mei'er grabbed his collar all of a sudden, and he could only shout angrily, "Don't, don't, sister, I was wrong." ”
Wen Mei'er was straight, but she still rejected him: "No! ”
Wen Tao could only admit it obediently. Say nothing anymore. What can you do if you don't admit it, you can't beat it, you can't say it.
Today, Liang Junzhuo, the prince of Qi, is coming to the capital, and the people arrived first, and there is still a batch of tribute that has not arrived.
Now Prime Minister Wen intends to delegate power, which eases the tense atmosphere with the emperor, and the emperor also moves around more with the Wen family, and even gives Wen Tao an official, idle post, and also assigns him a task.
Originally, Liang Junzhuo had an old relationship with Wen Tao, and the two of them had done a lot of bad things with those group of chicken friends and dog friends before, and now it is not strange that they are arranged by the emperor to receive Liang Junzhuo.
However, Wen Tao suspected that the eldest sister, father and the emperor were angry, knowing that he was not doing those things now, he was busy with other things, and he had to find him a job.
