This majestic green mountain is verdant and beautiful, and the grass grows on both sides of the river and the warbler flies.

And under the rows of banyan trees standing among them, there were unexpectedly bustling people.

At first, the three of them were unimpressed, but the further they went, the more people on both sides became.

And the men's horses or commercial vehicles were also parked one by one on the bypass.

Many people have even rolled up their bedding and spread it out on the grass.

"What's going on with these people," Yingli felt that something was wrong the more she looked, "should we get out of the car and ask?"

Before Chen Yin and Chanyu could reply, an old man who was unloading the goods on the side of the road took the initiative to stop them, and it seemed that these people had just stopped.

"The three of you don't go any further, otherwise you won't be able to turn around if you want to turn around later. ”

"Dare to ask the old man, what's going on here?" Chanyu asked politely.

"The officers and soldiers closed the road," said the middle-aged man who unloaded the goods with the old man, "Shanghu City and Rongcheng City have been lost, and the original defenders of the two cities are now gathered in one place, camped a hundred miles ahead, and cut off the official road." ”

Chen Yin saw that they took off all the things in the car one by one and put them on the grass, so he asked, "Why did you unload all the things, this official road will be closed for a long time?"

"The devil knows when it will reopen," said the middle-aged man, "we can't pile up these goods for a long time, we have to take them out and dry them first." ”

"The official road is not passable, there must be other ways to go around the South China Sea, right?" Yingli interjected and asked.

"You see that most of the caravans resting on the side of this road are going to the south, but only this official road can be walked, the mountain roads and small roads here are completely impassable, our merchant time is like gold bricks, if there is still a road that can be walked, how can you stay here and wait for the official road to open again?"

The three looked at each other, all waiting for each other to come up with ideas.

"The front is already full of people, even the green space next to this road is not empty," the old man put the goods on the ground and took a breath, "If you have to go to the south, it is best to take advantage of the fact that there are not many people in this place, and quickly find an open space to occupy it, and maybe the road will be opened tomorrow." ”

They didn't have to go to the front to find out whether what these people were saying or false, because they could already vaguely see what was going on here.

The farther he went, the more people on both sides of the road, Chen Yin stood up and looked forward, and the scene that caught his eyes made him stunned.

The great official road was completely blocked—the carriages were pestled in the middle of the road and on the side of the road—and as the old man had said at the beginning, there was not even a gap in front of him for people to settle down.

"Old man, dare to ask how many days the official road has been sealed, how can there be so many people?" Chen Yin jumped down from the carriage and helped the old man unload the goods.

"We have only arrived a long time ago, and we have just returned, but we have heard that it has been at least three or four days," said the old man, "and the army of the imperial court cannot take it." ”

Chanyu also jumped out of the carriage and helped Yingli lead the horse to the side of the road: "Who is so powerful that he can capture two cities in a row, and he still guards so that the army of the imperial court can't capture them?"

The middle-aged man looked left and right, and said mysteriously: "It's amazing, it's a group of mountain bandits, the leader is called Chen Yin, I heard that everyone in the rivers and lakes knows ......."

Yingli and Chanyu looked at Chen Yin.

"Phew," the old man spat out, "I've heard before that person is a chivalrous warrior of the Dinghua faction, but it turned out that he was not a person for his own selfish interests, how could the Dinghua faction have such a person." ”

"Eh, why does the old man talk like this?" Yingli blurted out subconsciously when she heard someone say this about Chen Yin.

"The girl doesn't know, the old man is nonsense, I heard the people who escaped from the city before the closure of the city say that although the bandits who occupy the city on the surface have rules and regulations, but in private many mountain bandits in the city are burning, killing, and plundering are all evil," the old man didn't hear the excitement in Yingli's words just now, "Isn't this all to blame for the connivance of their leader called Chen Yin, so ah, I still hope that the court can win, at least it will not affect the normal livelihood of our ordinary people." ”

"The old man doesn't know that their leader is not the Chen Yin of the Dinghua faction, the ......"

Chen Yin immediately gave her a look, and Yingli didn't continue.

"Thank you for the reminder," Chen Yin thanked him, "Let's go and have a look, and then make plans." ”

"Whatever you want. ”

The three of them got back into the carriage, thanked the old man and the middle-aged man, and continued to walk slowly.

"What do you say?" Ying Li turned her head to ask Chen Yin, she knew that Chen Yin must be thinking about a plan.

"Let's get out of the car and walk," Chen Yin said, "although this is far from the South China Sea, it should be closer to Shanghu City or Rongcheng, we will bypass the blockade and go to Shanghu City, I really want to see who is using my name, and I can find another carriage there." ”

"Seeing that the official road is so blocked, even if you want to go to Shanghu City or Rongcheng, you can only walk on a small road," Chanyu said, "I'm afraid I'll get lost." ”

"It's not so good to get lost, since the old gentleman just now said that there is only one official road to the south, and the imperial court has closed the official road because of the failure of Shanghu City and Rongcheng, then the general direction of these two cities must be on the official road, and it is not difficult to find," Chen Yin said and looked at Yingli, "What does Senior Sister think?"

"I listen to you. ”

"I mean you-" Chen Yin was worried about Yingli's body, but he paused halfway through his words, "Ah, okay, it's nothing, so be it." ”
