Chapter 20: Stepping into the Hegemony
This was the first time in his life that he was helped by a woman, and it was still a woman with a fairy aura all over her body, and his heart was beating with her movements.
It's so exciting!
With the help of the woman's strength, he got up from the ground, and since the woman stretched out her hand to help him get up, he naturally would not refuse, whether it was out of politeness or selfishness. Jiu Ban got up and patted the dirt on his body, and then he felt a chill on his face, and the pain of being kicked to the ground by Lu Shu disappeared in an instant. Jiuhan looked up and saw the slightest glimmer of light dissipating from the woman's fingertips.
The woman put her hand down, put away her staff, and then bowed slightly to Jiu Ban and said: "Warlock Wu Liangzi, a prisoner of Niu Guo, I don't know who the son is?" The other party has already reported to his family, and he is a little too shy to say it, isn't it? Jiu Ban immediately hugged his fist and saluted the woman in front of him: "I don't know if it is a disciple of Shaohong, the national teacher of the Prison Niu Country, I have been offended a lot just now, and I hope that Miss Wu will bear with me, and Mo Ji will be concerned." ”
Seeing that the other party actually knew his identity, although he was a little surprised, Wu Liangzi still maintained his usual composure, said "um" lightly, and then looked at him and said, "Childe hasn't answered my question yet?"
Jiuhan, who was about to speak again, was directly choked by Wu Liangzi's words. At this moment, Jiuhan's heart was entangled, and he thought in his heart that he would still need the help of the Prisoner Niu Country when he destroyed the revival of the Jianwei Kingdom in the future, but now his identity is the prince of the defeated country, if Wu Liangzi knows his identity, will he look at him differently, and even have a different mind? . So Jiu Ban thought for a while, but his face didn't show it, he clenched his fists slightly and bent down to salute the woman in front of him again.
"Sorry for the gaffe. After a pause, Nine and a Half raised his voice. "When I heard that the girl was from the Cow Prison Country, I was a little excited. I am Lin Ze, a marcher, and it is best to visit the landscapes of various countries and experience the customs of various countries. The country of the imprisoned cattle is located in the northernmost part of the Nine Kingdoms, but I haven't been there yet. That's why when the girl said that she was from the Cow Prison Country, I was so distracted. The country of imprisoned cattle is a place I have always longed for. When his name was mentioned, the ghost envoy said the word "Lin Ze" almost without any hesitation, as if the name had been stored in his heart from beginning to end.
Originally, it was expected that the other party would express some surprise at her identity, but Miss Wu Liangzi still said a faint "um" and didn't say anything, she just glanced at Lu Shu, and then turned around and walked in a certain direction. Looking at the direction Wu Liangzi was walking, Lu Shu snorted in his mouth, Jiu Ban also realized something, and hurriedly shouted to Wu Liangzi: "I don't know if Miss Wu Liangzi is going to the capital of the country under the hegemony, if so, I hope that the girl will not hesitate to go along." ”
Could it be that Wu Liangzi has a good impression of herself? Jiu and a half don't know. But in fact, although Jiuhan is not handsome and chic, he also has a dignified face, which is reasonable.
It seemed that everything was in Wu Liangzi's calculations, and she immediately turned around after hearing Jiuhan's words: "Lin Gongzi is also going to the Yubei City? ”
Receiving Wu Liangzi's affirmative answer, Jiu Ban and Lu Shu were both happy in their hearts. Jiu Ban was right to be happy, because he thought that if he made friends with this disciple of the national teacher, he would not be friendly with the Prisoner Cow Country, and when the time came, he would be able to persuade the Prisoner Cow to contribute to his own national recovery.
And Lu Shu was digging his hooves on the spot, swinging his head excitedly, thinking that he could finally not carry this man, and he couldn't help but feel happy. The woman she didn't know, although strange, gave her a natural sense of closeness. This journey is boring enough, but with such a beautiful woman joining, my life will definitely become beautiful. To be honest, although he was domesticated by Tan Yiju, looking at this nine-and-a-half Lushu with the same face as Tan Yiju, he wanted to kick him in the river and prevent him from coming out.
However, Jiu Ban and Lu Shu still have another idea in their hearts that is unified, that is: to be able to go on the road with a powerful warlock like Wu Liangzi, this person and a beast don't have to be afraid of death at least for the time being. As soon as he remembered that he had just walked around the door of the ghost gate, Lu Shu's heart was afraid for a while.
In this way, the two of them went to Yubei City, the capital of the hegemony, on the same road!
It's just that Jiu Ban wanted to ride a deer, but Lu Shu didn't want to be ridden by him, so he turned his back towards Wu Liangzi, and constantly showed favor to Wu Liangzi and wanted Wu Liangzi to sit on him and carry her to the city. However, Wu Liangzi insisted that this was Lin Ze's spirit beast and should be ridden by Lin Ze. Jiu Ban hurriedly excused himself and said that he was a man, and he could still stand this little bit of footsteps. Even if Wu Liangzi can be humble, he still can't stand the persistence of that man and beast after all. Lu Shu's is indeed close to Wu Liangzi, and I don't know if Jiu Ban can't hold his face. In the end, under the persuasion of one man and one beast, Wu Liangzi still rode on the back of the deer Shu.
In this way, on the way to the capital of Baxia, such a scene can be seen: a warlock in a cloak rides a spirit deer in front, and next to the spirit deer is a servant who is carrying a burden and a long sword. rushed all the way to Yubei City.
All the way to Yubei City, although it is not a thousand difficulties and dangers, but when they really walked to the gate of Yubei City, they were dumbfounded: Yubei City, the investigation is very strict! When they arrived at the gate of the city, this group found that the people around them seemed to be looking at them with very nervous and even hostile eyes, which made Jiu and a half very puzzled. There was no war in the country of the hegemon, why was everyone so nervous? When it was finally his turn to cross the city gate to check, Wu Liangzi got down from Lu Shu, and then Jiu Ban directly led Lu Shu. This scene was seen by the veteran soldiers at the city gate, and the identities of both sides were determined at once.
Ignoring the nine and a half who planned to step forward, the soldier in charge of checking at the city gate said directly to Wu Liangzi: "In the past few days, martial law has been in and out of the city gate, please take out all your belongings, we will check them one by one." ”
looked at the soldiers in front of him, who were five big and three thick, but his face was slightly stocky. Nine and a half for no reason, but remembered the battle that night and night to burn the kiss, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart. After that hellish night, it seemed like all the sergeants would remind him of those things for no reason, and it was terrifying. The convulsions on the face of the nine halves made the soldier see it, but he thought that the servant was unwilling to hand over the burden for the check, so he stretched out his hand and was ready to forcibly take the burden of the nine and a half for checking.
It seemed that there was a thousand contradictions, but at this time, Wu Liangzi flashed between the two, took out a gold-faced document from his arms, handed it to the soldier and said, "I am a disciple of Shaohong, the national teacher of the Prisoner Niu Country." This is a customs clearance document given by your country, and I hope it will be convenient. ”
Wu Liangzi's attitude was very polite, so the soldier took the paperwork in Wu Liangzi's hand and glared at Jiu and a half angrily. Then I opened the paperwork in my hand and looked through it. But then the anger on his face turned to shock, and it changed as quickly as the weather in autumn. The soldier raised his head and gently closed the paperwork in his hand and respectfully handed it to Wu Liangzi, and then he immediately changed his flattering look and looked at Wu Liangzi: "I don't know if it is the disciple of the master of the Prisoner Cow Country, I really look up to it for a long time, but I have an indescribable yearning for the Prisoner Cow Country." No wonder I felt an extraordinary aura just by looking at this adult, and I hope that the adult will not worry about the villain's recklessness just now. ”
Seeing that the soldier in front of him suddenly became groveling, his face was full of flattery. Nine and a half really didn't know how this soldier with a stocky face could be such a person. Immediately, a wave of disdain for the soldier welled up in his heart. Who is Nine-Half? A prince of a dead country, he has a natural aversion to those who flatter, and this kind of person who stands on his own land but sings praises to other countries, is not he dirty in the heart of Nine-Half? So with a sour mouth, Nine Half-and-S spit out a sentence: "Then I wonder why you don't move to live in the country of prisoners?"
"You ???!" It was obvious that the soldier heard Nine-Half's sarcasm, and he was almost furious and about to grab his weapon and shoot at Nine-Half. But Wu Liangzi didn't give him a chance to make a move, but opened his mouth with a frosty face: "Then I don't know if I can let him go?" Wu Liangzi spit out a sentence immediately after the soldier's words, and directly scolded the soldier what he wanted to do next.
But then the soldier's face became embarrassed, and he looked at Wu Liangzi for a long time and said, "This adult, it's not that you don't recognize this document. If it's a normal time, the little ones won't stop the adults. Recently, however, a strange epidemic has appeared in the city, and no solution has been found, let alone the source of the disease. Therefore, martial law was placed at all city gates, and no matter who was under inspection, they had to be checked. I also hope that the adults will understand and understand the hard work of the little ones. ”
"What are you talking about? There is an epidemic in the city? How can this be?" As soon as he heard that there was an epidemic in the city, Wu Liangzi's mental state seemed to be tense. "Is the epidemic situation serious?Is there any sign of spread?Does the government have any way to deal with it?" Seeing that Wu Liangzi's whole person seemed to have changed his clothes, the soldier was almost startled. If it weren't for reading that document, I thought that the person in front of me was sent from the imperial city to inspect their city gate, otherwise how could he suddenly be so concerned about the epidemic and not even know the most basic news?
The soldier couldn't say it clearly, but he just saluted Wu Liangzi, saying that he would naturally know when he entered the city. It's a bit bad to say this at the gates. There is no way, since the soldiers don't want to say more, Wu Liangzi is not good to ask. She asked Jiu Ban to take out all the things, and the soldier didn't stop him anymore when he saw that they were all ordinary items and weapons, but looked at Lu Shu a few more times.
But before the two men and the beast had gone far, the soldier chased after him, still holding two bowls of pale red water in his hands. The soldier confessed and said that asking Wu Liangzi and her servants to drink this bowl of potion could have a certain preventive effect on the epidemic. Hearing that the "servant" Erzi Jiuhan was a little furious at that time, it was Wu Liangzi who pressed him down. At the request of the soldier, Wu Liangzi and Jiu Ban both drank the pale red water, but when Wu Liangzi drank it and asked him what the effect was, the soldier said that it was just something that treated the symptoms but not the root cause, and could only play a preventive role.
A hint of loss clearly flashed in Wu Liangzi's eyes.
Jiu Ban took a sip of the bowl of potion, and also divided half of it for Lu Shu to drink. He looked at the soldiers who were gradually walking away, turned to look at Wu Liangzi and said, "Now that we have arrived in the city, I don't know what Miss Wu Liangzi plans to do?"
Wu Liangzi looked at the street where there were not many people in sight, and said lightly: "As a warlock, I have the duty to save the people from the epidemic. No matter what the ninth prince is going to do, I can't walk with the son all the way anymore, and I still hope for the son Haihan. Jiu Ban looked at the only exposed mouth under the cloak and pursed it, so he didn't say anything more, remembering that his trip was to lobby in the imperial city, so he directly separated from Wu Liangzi.
Wu Liangzi seemed to care about the epidemic, and after talking to Jiu Ban, he directly flashed into the store to inquire about the situation in the city, and then rushed towards the market where the epidemic was serious. Looking at the nine and a half again, holding Lu Shu on the street also gave some spare money to the shopkeeper on the side of the road, and then he also asked how to get to the imperial city, and left directly after thanking him. It's just that the shopkeeper shook the spare money in his hand, his face was quite pitiful and with a hint of disgust, he looked at the nine halves who were drifting away, and muttered in a low voice: "Another swagger and deception, but this guide can also make money, but it is a clear way." Then a happy smile spread across his face.
When he walked through the side path, suddenly there was a sound of fighting and shouting in front of him, and Jiuban was curious and took Lu Shu to take a closer look. Then he saw a man dressed in cloth pounce on the other person and push him to the ground, then opened his mouth and bit directly at the neck of the man on the ground. He didn't care that he was greeted by a few people with sticks or something.
The bloodshot pupils and yellow-stained mouth made Nine Half feel sick, especially when the man bit the neck of the person below him, splashing a splash of blood. Jiu Ban remembered again the scene that night when the leader bit Qiao He's neck and Qiao He's blood exploded.
The anger in Jiuban's heart gradually burned, he pulled out the long sword tied to his waist, strode to the side of the man-eating man, and lifted the long sword and directly slashed the opponent's head. The red blood splashed on the spot, and those who were in it saw that the hideous head rolled directly to their feet, and they threw down their sticks and jumped away, standing next to them and looking at the terrifying face of Jiu and a half, they didn't dare to move. And the person who was bitten was already directly frightened and fainted. Jiu Ban pointed to the two people and sent the bitten person directly to the nearby medical center, and the people present did not dare to listen to this killing god. Immediately, two people came out, wrapped the man in grass, and carried him away directly.
Seeing the rest of the people trembling and trembling on the side, Jiu Ban touched the blood stains on his face, and then sneered. Explained to those people: "I was a wanderer in Xiaben, and when I saw this person's fierce face, he lost his nature, and even ate people directly on the street, which was very unbearable and went straight to the action." If I violate the laws of your country, I hope that everyone will take me directly to the government's mansion. I can't do anything without killing someone. ”
Then Jiu Ban hugged his fists and looked at everyone present and said, "I don't know if you can tell me that this person is crazy, but it is related to the epidemic in the city?" He also understands, after all, there are many people who kill people in broad daylight, and since he sees his fear after killing someone, it is just a normal reaction.
Among the onlookers, one of them was bolder, took a small step and looked at Jiu Ban and said: "This strong man must have just come, although it is not appropriate to commit murder in broad daylight, but that person has become seriously ill and will be killed sooner or later." There is no need to punish this act of the strong man. ”
Then everyone nodded in agreement, and asked Jiu Ban to hurry up and wash his face in the room, so that the blood stains would not be good for people to see. Nine and a half asked, "Isn't blood a way of infection?" and the people all shook their heads in unison and said no, so this epidemic is very strange.
After washing up and changing clothes, under the persuasion of those people, the murder was directly ignored by everyone, and no one said much and no one wanted to report to the official, as if there was no such thing. It's just that there may be one more person in the record of the city's government office who died of the epidemic, and then there is a record of who bravely killed the mad and infected people.
After killing the plague, Jiubanfu set off for the palace again. He led Lu Shu for almost an hour to find the side gate of the palace, but when he arrived at the side door of the palace and took out the token and made his intentions clear, he was directly blasted out by the soldiers.
