Chapter 18: Chop
The next day, Mo Wei fell asleep on horseback with dark circles under his dark eyes.
"Cheer up, there seems to be someone blocking in front. ”
Hearing Jiang Qing's words, Mo Wei patted his cheek and looked up, and sure enough, there seemed to be a faint figure flickering behind the forest around the corner in the distance.
"Bandits, or are you here specifically for us? Why don't I go and explore the way?" Zhang Da waved the reins and walked to Jiang Qing's side.
"No, I don't. ”
So everyone stood on guard, each holding his weapon in his hand for the battle that might come.
When Mo Wei and the others walked in, they noticed that those figures turned out to be unarmed ordinary people, and they also noticed the arrival of Mo Wei and the others, especially when they could clearly see the faces of Jiang Qing who was walking in front.
"Master Jiang, help us!"
When this group of people rushed out of the forest, the scene was the same as the zombie movie that Morway had seen, one by one, they were dressed in tatters, their faces were yellow and thin, they almost didn't break their hands and feet, and their flesh and blood were blurred, otherwise they would have escaped a loss attack.
They ran to Jiang Qing's horse and reached out to grab the reins, not only Jiang Qing's horses, but all the horses were grabbed by them.
"Lord Jiang, please save me. ”
"We are about to die, only Lord Jiang, you have the ability to save us. ”
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, Lord Jiang, you must save me!"
A group of people surrounded Jiang Qing and howled wolf, crying and crying, as if they had experienced something desperate.
"You've got to tell me what's going on, or I'm crying like this, and I don't know what to do. After Jiang Qing finished speaking, only the people closest to him stopped crying, but the people on the periphery were still the same, like noisy crows.
"Shut up!" Zhang Da fiercely pulled out his long knife and shouted.
The sound of the long knife unsheathed was coupled with the spiritual pressure on the first floor of Zhang Dazhuji, and the crowd quieted down.
"Is there anyone who can take care of things, and tell me what's going on?"
As Jiang Qing finished speaking, what came out was an old man in his fifties, who looked like he was severely malnourished, and he had been running a runny nose, to be precise, everyone was running, as if everyone was catching a cold and fever.
"Lord Jiang, I am the city lord of Tobu City, Fu Xingxian. The old man said and pulled the reins of the horse, and pulled Jiang Qing's horse slowly forward, and the crowd dispersed, and Mo Wei saw that the road in front of him was covered with thistle nets and sharp wooden barbed walls.
"If it weren't for the fact that these guys really don't look like robbers, they would really think they're in disguise, and they're too well equipped. ”
"What does this mean?" Jiang Qing asked with a frown.
Fu Xingxian hurriedly waved his hand to signal the people around him to withdraw, and said to Jiang Qing with a smile: "This is because I am afraid that the adults will not save us, after all, the lives of the old and young in this city are all in the hands of the adults." ”
"You said something happened. Zhang Er said impatiently.
"Don't worry, talk as you go. ”
"Twelve days ago, someone left a message outside my house saying that he would poison the well in the south of the city tomorrow morning, and the symptom was vomiting, so I sent someone to guard it. At the end of the day, however, nothing was unusual, but the next day all the people who ate the water from the well vomited for a day. ”
"On the same day, someone left a message outside the house saying that he would poison Yunqing Restaurant in the north of the city tomorrow, and the symptom was that he couldn't help dripping water for a day, and this time he asked a few Qi cultivators to watch, but he found someone but couldn't catch it at all. ”
"The next thing is to poison once every two days, and I even asked the two monks in the mansion who built the seventh floor of the foundation to arrest people, but those two people let people go as soon as they saw each other. ”
"Before the last poisoning, he gave a message saying that only Jiang Qing, the first sword of the dynasty, could catch him in this dynasty, and give me a portrait of your lordship, and tell us that your lord will arrive in Tobu City today. ”
"Yesterday he poisoned almost all of us in the city, and the symptoms were such a cold and runny nose, and he also said that the next poisoning would directly kill us, so we made this decision to treat adults, and please don't blame them. ”
Fu Xingxian walked quite quickly, and when he finished speaking, Mo Wei saw Tobu Castle with the gate closed.
"Please also come into the city and sit down, and tomorrow we will arrest the poisoners and save the lives of the whole city. Although it was Fu Xingxian who asked Jiang Qing's opinion, the pace under his feet did not stop, and the people around Fu Xingxian ran to the city gate first and opened the small gate for Mo Wei and his party.
Mo Wei frowned, this group of people gave him the feeling that he was in a hurry, very anxious. If they knew that they would die tomorrow, everyone would be in a hurry, but the direction of the urgency was a little wrong, and they were in a hurry to let their group enter the city.
Jiang Qing was naturally aware of what Mo Wei had encountered, and even he knew better why they were doing this.
"We don't go into town. ”
Hearing Jiang Qing's words, Fu Xingxian's face stiffened, and at the same time, the group of powerful actors around him directly began to howl.
"Why didn't you save us, my lord?"
"The only one who can save us is you, please. ”
Seeing the situation around him, Jiang Qing became impatient, and his face instantly turned cold: "Shut up for me!"
The people around were silent in an instant, not because of Jiang Qing's low roar, but because the big tree on the side of the road suddenly broke at the same time.
"Who's screaming upset me, don't blame me for slashing you!"
A group of people were there like frightened boys, even if Jiang Qing scolded them, they had no intention of leaving.
"People, I will arrest, I will not enter the city, if any of you are making any transgressions, don't blame me for being unkind!" Combined with Jiang Qing's strength and the momentum of the superior he revealed, no one felt anything to refute.
"My lord, this ......" Fu Xingxian said a little unwillingly dissuaded.
Jiang Qing didn't ink with him, and directly put the scabbard on his shoulder: "Put away your careful thoughts, and everyone can't get close to us fifteen zhang." ”
Jiang Qing pulled the reins and turned the horse's head to find a place where they could camp, and the group of people fell far away from fifteen zhang, and even surrounded the fifteen zhang outside the camping point that Jiang Qing had chosen to prevent them from escaping quietly.
"Uncle Jiang, what's going on?" Wang Jiyang asked, sitting on the grass and looking at the figure fifteen zhang away.
"Obviously, they came at us, using the lives of the people in this city to force Brother Jiang to make a move, and then sending people to kill you, and those people just now are probably threatened, and they want to take us to the city, and we will have no place to run when the time comes. Mo Wei explained for Jiang Qing.
Jiang Qing on the side was leaning on the tree, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and rubbing the gourd with the other: "This hand is really playing with yang, yin and yin." ”
"Lu Ming, you and Qiao Yu go into the city to see what is going on in the city?"
When Lu Ming and Qiao Yu left, Jiang Qing looked at a few people and said, "Okay, now tell me what you think." ”
