In the evening, several people arrived as scheduled.

"Chestnut, you see that this city is much more magnificent than we have seen before!"

Chestnut nodded undeniably, this city really looks very grand.

Xiao Qiyi and his party didn't feel much, after all, they came from the capital, and the grandeur of the capital far exceeded the buildings here.

It's just that the city here is a little more solemn against the backdrop of the setting sun.

Huzi walked forward while talking about the famous places he had walked by, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Turning back to the back, he asked, "Why don't you leave?" It's not that far from the city gates. ”

"We're not going into town today."

"Why?"

Huzi didn't finish asking before he attracted a slap from the chestnut, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, what the benefactor says, you just listen well, don't ask the east and the west!" ”

Huzi scratched his head, "Oh! ”

Huzi doesn't care when he can enter the city, anyway, he knows his position very well, he is a bastard, as long as he listens to chestnuts on weekdays, he won't have any major problems.

Mo Yanpo glanced at the chestnut meaningfully and smiled.

It's not much away from the shade, it's about a stick of incense, and you can see the tall walls of the shade and the surrounding moat.

This shade spans this plain, and the front and back here are like the middle of a gourd, ruthlessly blocking both sides.

"Miss, I'll inquire if there is any place to rest nearby."

This place is close to the city, and it is inconvenient for Mo Yan and the Nail Palace to go out at this time, only Xue Yi has no problem and can walk around in this place carefree.

"Engong, Huzi and I don't have anything to do, let's go find a place to live."

Hearing Chestnut say this, Huzi muttered in a low voice: "Why do you want to find a place to live outside, isn't it a casual residence when you enter the city?" Isn't this taking off your pants and farting? ”

After saying this, the beard undoubtedly ushered in another beating from the chestnut.

This time, they were staying in a nearby village, and for some reason no one from this village was there, but they were left with a spare house.

"Do we really have to live here today?"

Chestnut didn't angrily tear away Huzi's hand that was grabbing the corner of his clothes, "Otherwise, you want to sleep in the wilderness?" ”

Huzi was still a little worried, looked around worriedly, and hid behind Lizi again.

The whole village was empty, and if it weren't for the flat land, they could see the movement around them at any time, otherwise they would have thought it was a trap specially designed for them.

"Chestnut, why don't we two go into the city before it gets dark, it's too scary here!"

"What's wrong with you guy today?"

"It's not a chestnut, you think, it's a very strange thing to think that this place is so close to the city but it's empty."

Huzi was a little stumbling when he said it, swallowing his saliva and saying: "Look at the way we looked at the city gate from a distance just now, it's like..."

Chestnut replied, "Do you think you said that you met us when you were fleeing from us..."

"Yes, yes, yes! That's it! ”

The two guys who play dumb riddles, although their voices are very low, can still be heard by a few people with keen ears.

Xiao Qi didn't single them out to preach, and Dinggong and Mo Yan also decided to come here after thinking twice.

Chestnut said to Xiao Qi with some concern: "A few benefactors, do we really want to live here?" ”

"What? Do you have any questions? ”

"It's not that I have any problems, it's just that I feel some... Some..."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

"Actually, the current situation is what Huzi and I encountered before, when we also encountered the vacancy of houses outside the city, and the city seemed to be solemn and bleak."

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Is it that the rebels are about to besiege the city?" ”

"Benefactor, have you encountered it too?"

Xiao Qi shook his head and said, "Then there is nothing to do, you two can rest assured." ”

Xiao Qi didn't explain, and caught up with Mo Yan in front, Huzi pulled the corner of the chestnut's clothes, "Chestnut, what do you say we should do now?" ”

"What else can I do, of course, I will unswervingly advance and retreat together with my benefactors!"

Mainly now, even if Chestnut doesn't advance and retreat with Xiao Qi and them, they can't do anything.

There are many people who are easy to do, and if the two helpless beggars leave Xiao Qi and them and enter the city alone, there will be a lot of uncontrollable things happening at that time.

Although he gained peace of mind, the stumbles along the way also let Chestnut know that it was not easy in this troubled world.

At that time, the capital would not even have a place to settle down, let alone eat.

For such a long time, the two of them relied on some sacrificial things to survive with difficulty.

"Chestnut, if it's true..."

Huzi's eyes showed a trace of fear, what had happened was too terrifying, and this incident left Huzi with too much trauma.

Chestnut patted Huzi on the shoulder and said, "Huzi, even if we can really hide in the city, but you should know about the events of that day, without me mentioning the old things." ”

"Okay, let's catch up with the benefactors, since they are so confident to stay here, we have to take a good dip under the big tree."

Huzi wanted to say something, but was directly pulled forward by the chestnut, "Huzi, the most important thing for us is to live!" ”

The yamen of the city of Yin

"My lord, the spies have come to report that some of them have already arrived outside the city."

"Are you already out of town?"

Qian San waved his hand in satisfaction, and the maid standing behind him let go of the hand that was massaging him and stood silently behind him.

"Now that they're here, let's prepare."

"My lord, please rest assured, when I came, I already had people spread the news outside, if there are no accidents, this top-secret news will appear in the streets and alleys tomorrow."

Qian San looked at the county official in this Yin City with satisfaction, "Did you send the letter to the Nanjiang Water Division?" ”

"Back to my lord, I guess there will be news tomorrow."

"Well, since they have arrived here, they will definitely go to the city, but I don't know who will come."

"Your Excellency. The villain felt that it was very likely that the three people who had joined their team center. ”

Qian San got up, walked back and forth a few times and said, "I don't know the origin of those people? ”

"My lord, I only dared to let people watch from a distance, and I never let them get close to each other, I could only see a rough idea."

Qian San nodded, let your people pay attention to it, continue to wait and see tomorrow, if they are in the capital, let the people guarding the city gate remember their appearance.

"Yes."

This official was a little worried, but he didn't know how to speak, so he could only look at Qian San hesitantly.

Qian San smiled and said, "Master Li, what's wrong?" ”

"My lord, there is something that the lower officials don't know whether to talk about or not."

"Is it about my brothers?"

The county magistrate smiled helplessly and embarrassedly, "My lord, this..."

Qian San closed his eyes and pondered. After a long time, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you say, what happened." ”

"My lord, several of your subordinates, it seems these days..."

"What does it seem? Could it be that they are bullying the people in your yamen? ”

"No, no, my lord, what are you talking about, if my yamen subordinates are bullied by your people, it will be their honor."

Qian San said impatiently: "Okay, long story short, you can say it directly." ”

Li Xianling told Qian San the ins and outs of the matter, and Qian San frowned and said, "What you said is true?" ”

"My lord, these are all said by the people under his subordinates, they all happened to meet, and they really dare not deceive them, so this..."

Qian San said: "Okay, you go down, let me think about this matter." ”

The maid from before walked to the front and sat in Qian San's arms like a delicate and boneless person, "My lord, it's time for us to do business." ”

Qian San sighed, picked up the maid gently, and then walked to the bedside, "Let's talk about it in the evening, I'm going to go out first,"

"Your Excellency."

Seeing that there was no one in the delicate place, Qian San's heart moved, but he still resolutely left the house.

The maid smiled and hid on the side of the bed, saying in a pitiful voice that Qian San should come back soon.

At the moment when Qian San left the house, she was a delicate and weak woman a moment ago, and her eyes exuded a fierceness.

Xiao Qi and the others casually found a farmhouse near the well to live.

The villagers seemed to be in a hurry, and they didn't pack up their things properly, so they left here in a hurry.

"Grandpa Mo Yan, do you have any clue about the sudden departure of these people?"

Mo Yan shook his head, this situation was really strange, and even Mo Yan's years of experience could not guess the true purpose of these people's departure.

"As long as it's good for us, we don't have to worry about what it is."

Mo Yan and Nailgong were also reluctant to let Xiao Qi think about so many useless questions.

They only have two things to do at the moment, one is to let Xue Yi go to the city tomorrow to find out information, and the other is how to get out of this place.

"Little friend, would you like to go into the city with Xue Yi tomorrow? He is a girl's family, a little inconvenient, can Xiaoyou be willing to do it for him? ”

"Aren't a few benevolent men going into the city?"

"In this kind of troubled times, it's better for us strangers not to enter."

Chestnut nodded, without asking the reason, the tiger on the side wanted to speak, but he was already dragged by Chestnut's hand.

"Since that's the case, I'm better to be respectful, and I'll go with Huzi and Xue Yien Gong tomorrow."
