Several people sped up their journey, and within a few days, they entered the territory of Lantian County from Chang'an.

When it comes to Lantian County, Qin Huaidao still has some impressions, not to mention anything else, the famous Lantian jade is from here, this jade has been one of the four famous jade since ancient times, known as the beauty of the jade Lantian species, even in Chang'an City, there are many princes and nobles who like Lantian jade.

According to legend, the jade seal of He's Bi and Qin Shi Huang, and the head of the jade shop with the four gods of the Western Han Dynasty are all made of Lantian jade, and many poets and scribes have written many popular poems to praise it.

It stands to reason that this place is blessed with great treasures, and it should be a rich place, but along the way, the homeless people that Qin Huaidao saw were far better than the rich households.

Puzzled, he planned to find a homeless person to ask, but these homeless people saw that the four of them were not dressed like civilians, so they didn't dare to communicate with them, so the four of them had to go to the Lantian County Mansion to have a look.

On the road, Qin Huaidao deliberately tested the school Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, in your opinion, what is special about this county in Lantian?" ”

Cheng Chumo replied: "This place is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, the southeast can enter the Guanzhong Plain, and Shangluo, Shangzhou, Zhashui is connected, the west is bounded by the Kuyu River, adjacent to Chang'an and Baqiao, the north can enter the Lishan Mountain, up and down, it is not an exaggeration to call it the small gateway of Chang'an. ”

is also the second generation of martial arts, Cheng Chumo's growth has been witnessed by everyone all the way, although Qin Huaidao's allocation is indispensable, it is inseparable from his own willingness to see and think more.

"Yes, there is the style of a general." Qin Huaidao expressed his affirmation to him.

Cheng Chumo laughed: "That's not it, it's okay, it's also one of the top ten generals of the founding of the Han Dynasty, you can't lose your majesty's face." ”

Qin Huaidao was silenced again and again: "Okay, when you go out, everyone is commensurate with brothers, and your identity is only exposed when necessary, Brother Cheng, you have to be careful when you call a piece." ”

Cheng Chumo was embarrassed, if he wanted to call His Majesty Qin Huaidao, he always felt a little embarrassed, but the monarch and the minister were different, and he couldn't accept the change in identity for a while, even if he changed the name of the peers, he was a little cautious, until now, he was finally able to open his heart.

"Brother Qin."

Among them, Qin Huaidao is the youngest, and the problem is that it is impossible for them to call His Majesty the current brother, so they have all discussed that they will be called brothers regardless of their age, and this name is similar to that of some people with temperaments.

A few people traveled for half a day, and finally came to Lantian County, which was different from the outcasts, Lantian County was a scene of singing and dancing, and it did not seem to have any major disasters at all.

The four of them didn't move lightly, they first found an inn, there is a place called Tongfu Inn near the county government, there are three floors, and they can not only observe the surroundings, but also be low-key enough not to attract attention.

Deciding on the place, Luo Zhang stepped forward to book a room with Xiao Er.

"Shop, do you still have a room on the second or third floor, I have heard that Lantian Mountain is rich and beautiful, and a few of our masters want to live on a higher level, so that it is convenient to enjoy the scenery of Lantian."

"There are still vacancies on the second floor, what about the third floor......" Xiao Er was a little stumbling.

Luo Zhang wondered: "How about the third floor?" I'm afraid that my brothers can't afford to pay the money? ”

Xiao Er saw that the guest's face was wrong, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "A few masters have misunderstood, you don't know, the county order of Lantian County has recently issued a prohibition order, where every household needs to close the door and window at night, and must not peep around, and the violator will be beheaded." ”

"Curfew?" Several people glanced at each other and knew what each other was thinking.

This Lantian County, there is a problem!

Generally, there is a curfew, only for city households, and they will not even be allowed to see it, unless there is some other reason.

Luo Zhang asked Xiao Er: "Shopkeeper, do you know what major events have happened in Lantian County recently?" ”

Xiao Er shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are rumors that there are mountain demons above the Qinling Mountains who sneak attack the people from all over the country, except for the vicinity of this county ya, there are mysterious disappearance incidents of the population within a radius of 100 miles, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"Mountain Demon?" Qin Huaidao's face became more solemn than solemn, he was a staunch materialist warrior, the mountain demon was naturally not credible, he was tired, I am afraid that he would need to investigate to know, he asked Xiang Xiaoer: "When my four brothers came here, they found that a large number of homeless people appeared, can it be related to this matter?" ”

Xiao Er's expression was stunned, and he was a little afraid: "Wanderers? There are homeless people nearby? Nine times out of ten, the mountain demon is true, otherwise there would not be so many homeless people, thanks to the wisdom and martial arts of the government and the protection of one side, so that the county and big things happened, thank God!. ”

Hearing Xiao Er's words, it seemed that he didn't know much, Qin Huaidao and his party didn't ask any more, just asked about the third floor.

Xiao Er's eyes immediately lit up: "Yes, the county order has issued an order that all third floors or above are not allowed to be leased to the outside world, saying that there will be special guests arriving recently, I don't know if it is related to the mountain demon, but since it is an order from the government office, we will obey it, a few guest officials live on the second floor, don't be curious and run to the third floor." ”

"Please rest assured, we won't have much to do."

After paying the money, several people followed Xiao Er to the Tianzi room on the second floor, which was facing the street, and they could see what was happening on the street, but they just wanted to observe the farther street, but they were blocked by nearby houses.

After Xiao Er left, the four of them began to exchange their thoughts.

Cheng Chumo was the first to speak.

"Brother Qin, I think there must be a big problem with this mountain demon."

The remaining three nodded in affirmation, and Fang Yiai continued: "Indeed, there has been no shortage of legends of mountain demons in famous mountains and rivers since ancient times, but this mountain demon eats people, but its appetite is limited, and the local residents only need to worship on time, and it is impossible for large-scale people to be displaced, unless there is something else strange." ”

Cheng Chumo nodded: "I'm afraid there is more than one mountain demon." ”

Hearing them discuss the mountain demon seriously, Qin Huaidao couldn't cry or laugh, if he didn't speak and correct the deviation, I was afraid that the topic of the four of them would become more and more outrageous.

He stretched out his hand and motioned for the three of them to stop the discussion first: "Everyone, the matter of the mountain demon is purely imaginary, since ancient times, the existence of the mountain demon has been passed on by people's word of mouth, who has seen the true face?" ”

"In my opinion, it must be a county order to do something special, covering people's ears and eyes with mountain demon rumors."

After thinking about it, a few people found that what Qin Huaidao said did have some truth.

If you think about it further, the county order may also have something to do with the distant relatives of the Li Tai faction confessed by Lu Qi, who was arrested in the previous rebellion in the industrial city.

"In short, all natural disasters in the world are man-made disasters, you have followed me for a long time, I hope not to be confused by rumors, to clarify the truth, in order to benefit the people of the world."

"Your Majesty, oh no, what Brother Qin said is very true, we should obey it."
