Chapter Ninety-Four: The Day Comes Soon
In the morning, the fog was filled, and the gray mist wafting in the forest carried a hint of coolness, and when the sun rose, the first rays of light shone into it, and the golden light was refracted in the fog, becoming brilliant and psychedelic. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sun rose over the mountain, driving away all the mud and gloom, and at about seven o'clock in the morning, the eight-member hunting party bid farewell to the old folks who had been sent off at the entrance of the village, and had already set out on the road.
The hunting tournament was held in the county seat of Aoki, which was fifty miles southeast of Lizhuang.
Aoki County is built on the edge of the mountains, backed by the Aoki Mountains, built on the flat land where the inner forest and the Aoki Valley meet, with a population of about 200,000 and dozens of large and small villages scattered around.
All villages within the jurisdiction of Aoki County are eligible to participate, but most of the small villages lack funds and talents, so they can only look at the powerful Zhuangzi.
The group hurried in the mountain, and after an hour, they finally crossed the inner forest and climbed a mountainside.
Li Yong dared to wave his hand and point into the distance, and said excitedly: "Look, that's Aoki County!" ”
Meng Fan looked up, there was a big river at the foot of the mountain, it looked like a white dragon from a distance, it swooped down from a high place to the ground, thousands of hundreds of years of river sedimentation, formed a vast flat land.
The white dragon finally calmed down, and it turned into a large river that flowed slowly, giving birth to a densely populated county town.
At this moment, the smoke rises from the flat ground, there are thousands of people's houses, the buildings are high and row upon row, densely crowded together to look black,
However, looking into the past, you can vaguely see the pavilions and pavilions, and the pedestrians under the verandah.
Aoki County is bustling and lively, it is like a pampered child, sheltered under the Aoki River to thrive, and it is also the first time that Meng Fan has seen a slightly urban county town after entering the world of elven treasures, compared with the Li Zhuang built in the wilderness, it is simply the difference between urban and rural.
Li Yong dared to see Meng Fan's surprised look, a little complacent, when he entered the county seat, he was also like this.
"How?" Li Yong dared to ask: "I told you a long time ago, our Aoki County is big!" How does it compare to the city you mentioned? ”
Meng Fan shook his head, although Aoki County is big, it is only relative to this world, how can it be compared with the real world, a metropolis with a population of tens of millions, just take out a ten-mile long street, and you can run through the entire Aoki County.
"What do you mean by shaking your head?" Li Yong dared to frown at him.
"Let's go." Meng Fan didn't want to hit everyone, so he took the first step down the mountainside.
"Hehe, Meng Er is a foreigner, how can he see the prosperity of Aoki County, I can't help it!" Li Yongfu laughed and chased after him.
Everyone climbed over the mountainside, and when they got off the mountain, it was a solid road, and at the foot was a wide avenue that led directly to the county seat of Aoki.
There were already many pedestrians on the avenue, old farmers carrying burdens on their shoulders, including vegetables and fruits, young people driving cattle, or merchants riding horse-drawn carriages, and the crowd spread all the way to the gate of Aoki County.
"Wow, it's really hilarious!" Li Yongfu exclaimed.
Li Yongdang said: "On weekdays, there are not so many people in the county, but it just happens that the market is open today, and it is also the opening day of the hunting competition, and there are naturally many people, and people from all over the country are here." ”
Li Yongfu nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen several people from other villages." ”
The number of pedestrians on the road is still increasing, mostly the nearby villagers who are rushing to join in the fun, and of course, there are also some steady, tall and strong young people, who are armed with spears or long knives on their backs, and are dressed as animal skins, like hunters, who should be the participants in the competition.
Li Yongdang couldn't help but look at them twice, one of them seemed to feel his gaze, turned his head, and the two met their eyes, Li Yongkang's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Zhang Fengxian!"
"Hey, Li Yongdare?!"
Li Yong dared to grit his teeth, but Zhang Fengxian smiled, as if looking at an old friend, he slowly walked towards Li Yong and said hello: "It's a coincidence, I can meet you here." ”
"Clever fart." Li Yong dared to take a sip, "When I see your people in Zhangzhuang, Lao Tzu is disgusted." ”
"You kid looking for death?" A young man with thick arms stepped forward and shouted.
"Excuse me, Rongxiong, don't get excited." Zhang Feng waved his hand first, and said with a smile: "Why bother with a group of waste? ”
Li Yongfu immediately frowned and asked, "Who the hell do you say is a waste?" ”
"Hehehe....."
Zhang Fengxian's blue-black face was slightly red with a smile, and he suddenly suppressed his laughter, "Look at your dress, you are also going to participate in this hunting competition?" ”
"Exactly." Li Yong dared to say proudly: "This time we have won the championship, you Zhang Zhuang is just here to make up the numbers, and I advise you to die quickly." ”
Zhang Feng laughed three more times, as if he heard a big joke, but he suddenly suppressed his smile, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he shouted in a low voice: "Don't blame me for not warning you waste, it's best not to provoke me, if you see me in the Aoki Valley, hurry up and roll away, otherwise the uncle will be in a bad mood and will destroy you!" ”
"Zhang Fengxian, you are not afraid to say big things, and finally knocked out your teeth!" Li Yong dared to sneer.
Zhang Fengxian said disdainfully: "The tiger is not at home, the monkey is the overlord, if it weren't for Li Yongwu being injured, how would you let this nest of people be in power!" ”
Li Yong dared to clench his fists suddenly, and was scolded for being a waste, and his heart was like a needle prick.
"If it's not your old man, how can you choose the commander?"
Seeing that Li Yong dared to be excited, Zhang Feng couldn't help but provoke: "I say this, are you very unconvinced in your heart, but how can you endure me?" ”
Li Yong dared to shout: "Zhang Fengxian, don't deceive people too much!" ”
Zhang Fengxian laughed and said: "Nonsense, I'm good at treating you waste." ”
"The surname is Zhang, you are looking for death!" Li Yongfu had a hot temper, and when he saw Zhang Feng being rampant first, he wanted to rush forward to make a move.
"Stop!" Li Yong dared to stop Li Yongfu, "We can't do it." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Li Yongfu glared at him angrily, "This surnamed Zhang has bullied us." ”
Li Yong dared to shake his head, "Brawls are not allowed inside and outside the county, and if we do this, I'm afraid we will lose our qualifications, so bear with us for the time being." ”
"Fuck, count this dog day as good luck." Li Yongfu glanced at Zhang Fengxian hatefully and retreated to the team.
"Hmph, waste is waste, a cowardly team leader, bringing all the cowardice goods without handles."
Zhang Feng pouted first, and then said: "Since you are a man without eggs, I don't bother to entangle with you anymore...... Oh, but I worked hard to get two silver spotted leopard skins, it is said that many ladies in the county rushed to ask for it, when they can be sold for a good price, hey, to get this leopard skin, I also want to thank you Li Zhuang! ”
Li Yongfu was so angry that his teeth rubbed left and right, this leopard skin was snatched by Zhang Feng and them first, and he even dared to mention it again and show it off in front of him!
"Zhang Fengxian, you are too shameless!"
"Heh, if you think I'm shameless and hateful, you can start beating me!"
Zhang Fengxian rolled his eyes, turned around and shouted at the pedestrians watching the play, "Fellow villagers, you have a good look, if this man from Li Zhuang can move me a single hair, I will respect him as a good man...... Tsk, but I can see that he is also a coward. ”
Countless eyes from the surrounding area came to watch the fire from the other side, and they naturally hoped that the fire would burn more and more, and they agitated one after another.
"Beat him, young man, and you're afraid of him when you see you're so strong?" An old farmer's road.
"It's too much of a deception, I would have given him a knife a long time ago!" Another old man in a clay hat.
"People have been cowardly for a lifetime, and I look down on you." The little baby herding the cow shook her head.
Zhang Feng laughed out loud first: "Hahaha, even a seven-year-old child looks down on you, Li Yongfu, you better go home and breastfeed!" ”
"Damn it, don't stop me...."
Li Yongfu was so angry that he couldn't bear it any longer, he immediately reached out and touched the knife, and wanted to kill Zhang Fengxian, a hateful guy.
In his anger, he was like a riveted bull, Li Yongan and the others couldn't hold him down, and they were about to do it.
"Li Yongfu!"
Suddenly, a light drink came, Li Yongfu's heart was shocked, he looked to the side, only to see Meng Fan staring at him, his brows slightly locked, but he was not angry and arrogant, Li Yongfu's heart trembled, and he suddenly woke up from his anger.
Meng Fan retracted his gaze, he glanced at Zhang Feng first, and then swept his gaze to Zhang Rongda, who was as majestic as an iron tower, the two glanced at each other, and he said lightly, "Let's go." ”
Meng Fan has always been kind to people, even if he refutes opinions, he rarely argues with others, although he does not fight, but he has accumulated a lot of power, this time he moved the real fire, everyone suddenly did not dare to gasp, and did not dare to disobey his orders, seeing him turn away and leave, they followed and left.
Zhang Feng jumped to his feet and scolded in the rear first, but let him wear out his mouth, Li Yongfu and the others were indifferent, he slowly closed his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"And they just left?" Zhang Rongxiong said: "Uncle, you're really right, a group of eggless seeds. ”
"You know the." Zhang Feng waved his hand away first, feeling irritable.
"Uncle doesn't need to care too much about them, Ada can kill them with one hand." Zhang Rongxiong came to the front again and said.
"With Ada here, naturally I'm not afraid of them." Zhang Feng nodded first, but shook his head again and said: "I just didn't expect that this Meng Er would be so authoritative among them, although Li Yong dared to say that he was the commander, he actually had to listen to him." ”
"Uncle is too jealous of this Meng Er, I took a look, it's nothing remarkable."
"A dog that bites, never barks, I think that Meng Er is a biting dog, when I first met him, I should be beaten to death with a stick, so as not to have many dreams at night."
He said and shook his head, "This time I wanted to provoke them to make mistakes and get out." That's it, since they want to find death, and when the time comes, it's better not to provoke me, otherwise...... Hum! "Zhang Feng first measured the tunnel.
At this end, Meng Fan and the others didn't say anything all the way, but they came to the city gate.
The walls are at least five zhang high, and appear to be made of a large number of green bricks and stones, and there are two rows of wooden horses at the gate of the city, and several men wearing black robes, silver armor, and silver helmets, who are the outer disciples of the Aoki sect in Aoki Prefecture, and are tasked with checking passers-by.
The group gestured to participate in the hunting competition, and one of the men led them away and went to a station in the city.
"You wait here for a moment, and I'll inform you."
"Thank you, Captain, just respect, not enough to worry about." Li Yong dared to step forward and hold the man's hand and secretly stuffed a silver ingot.
"yes, I know." The man's eyes closed slightly, and in his palm was a large silver ingot, nodded, and left briskly.
When the captain of the city gate left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally entered the city, without any mistakes, and the next moment, Meng Fan turned his head to look at them, and the relieved anger immediately came to his heart.
"Li Yongfu."
"What's the matter?" Li Yongfu responded, although he was born with rough nerves and was irritable and irritable, he didn't dare to get angry in front of Meng Fan.
"Do you blame me for stopping you just now?"
"How dare I." Li Yong dared to urn and said angrily, he scratched his neck, looking at his expression, it was duplicity.
Seeing his deflated appearance, Meng Fan was both angry and funny, Li Yong dared to see Meng Fan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately complained: "Actually, it's fake to say that I'm not angry, but I also hate Zhang Fengxian, this son of a bitch, not only robbed us of our skin, but also dared to show off in front of us, next time I see you, I must kill him!" ”
Li Yongan said: "When we met in the mountains, we should have done it with them!" ”
Everyone was upset and complained, after all, they were all young people, and young people were impulsive, and no one could stand it.
The last time he was cut off by Zhang Feng first, he lost two silver-spotted leopard skins, to say the least, it was three or four thousand silver taels, and today he was ridiculed in person, but he had to grit his teeth and swallow his grievances, that is, the mud bodhisattva came, and he had to bring three points of anger.
Meng Fan saw that everyone complained, as the so-called mourning soldiers will win, angry people can also erupt with extraordinary explosive power, and the outburst after suppression is very terrifying.
He sneered: "The people who are domineering can't go far, this hunting competition has fifteen days, and some of them have time to play with them, ride a donkey and sing a book, and we'll see." ”
Everyone felt his anger, but it was not like a flame, but a piercing cold.
Li Yonggan nodded slightly, "Fortunately, Yongfu has no impulses, it is said that Zhang Feng first befriended the elders of the Aoki Sect in the county, if he succeeds, we will really lose this opportunity to participate." ”
"The management of Aoki Prefecture is good." Meng Fan nodded, the security situation here was similar to that of a small county town in China, and he asked again, "However, this Aoki Sect?" ”
"Oh, the county magistrate Harmuyi is the Aoki Sect Master." Li Yong Dang said: "Each county magistrate is the head of the Aoki Sect, and the Aoki Sect is responsible for the management of the entire Aoki Prefecture. ”
"I see..... Meng Fan didn't expect that the management organization here was not an official government, but a sect, which was a bit unexpected.
After such a period of talking, the captain who took the money to do things had returned, and he brought back a person with him, but it was an old man.
The old man was thin and wearing a green shirt, he hugged his fists and said, "The county magistrate has been waiting in the county seat for a long time, please come with me." ”
As soon as he waved his hand, everyone left with him and went to the county government, in fact, the so-called county government was the Aoki Sect.
Passing through the shoulder-to-shoulder street, the road suddenly opened up, and a huge plaque stood fifty meters in front of it, impressively writing the three characters of Aoki Sect, and dozens of people stood under the plaque, all dressed as hunters, looking at it.
