Chapter 316: Far Away
Yueshu County, Nanwang City, today the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month.
The atmosphere of the New Year's festival has gradually spread in the city, and every household is lit up with lights and lively.
For ordinary people, the New Year's Festival is like this once a year, and it is rare to have a rest and reunion, so it is not to be celebrated. Even those ordinary families will eat some good food at this time of the New Year, and buy a few sets of new clothes for their children.
However, there are always people who are out of place and not suitable for all this.
It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, and probably can't.
Song Wan's team had been in Nanwang City for almost five days, and it was not that they had stayed here on purpose, but because of the situation.
After Song Wan and the others entered the boundary of Yueshu County, they received information, and Nanliang also deployed a team here, but it is not certain who it belongs to for the time being.
There are definitely more than one Southern Liang squad that has infiltrated the Great Wei, but their ultimate goal is the same, first, to determine the deployment of Great Wei's forces along the Yangtze River, and second, to unite those forces that can be combined as much as possible.
And Song Wan's purpose is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and this Nanliang team that infiltrated Nanwang City must stay here.
Early in the morning, in the courtyard.
Yan Daoji and his two subordinates had just returned, and they had roughly determined the location of the Nanliang team, and the other party was hiding in a private house in the east of Nanwangcheng. The eastern part of the city is a gathering place for residents, which can just form a cover for them, but this Nanliang team has not yet realized that their whereabouts have been exposed.
Nanwangcheng is the county seat of Yueshu County, and in addition to a 5,000-man army personally appointed by Dugu Chong, there is also a standing army of 700 people subordinate to the county guard of Yueshu County.
Dugu Chong is good at planning for a rainy day, so the deployment of military forces has been gradually unfolded after he returned to Qiuluo City from the capital.
The northern and southern borders of the Great Wei and the Southern Liang were blocked by the Yangtze River moat, so even if the Southern Liang suddenly attacked the Northern Expedition, the Great Wei also had enough time to react, so Dugu Chong deployed heavier soldiers and horses in the counties along the Yangtze River in the east and west, especially the county seats.
The second is a few avant-garde cities that happen to rely on the Yangtze River and the central city between counties, so that even if the Southern Liang raids a certain place, the neighboring counties can rush to the aid in time.
Defend each other and rely on each other, this is Dugu Chong's idea of using soldiers.
If Nanliang wanted to break down this systematic blockade, he could only try to break them one by one or break one or two of them first.
Yueshu Taishou Cui Runan is from the Qinghe Cui clan, and when Yuan Zhi was still in power, he was one of Yuan Zhen's henchmen.
Although Cui Runan's identity has not been put on the surface, most people know that he is the person of the eldest prince.
After Yuan Ke ascended the throne, due to the disturbance of Rouran, he had not yet had time to carry out a major purge of the domestic pattern, so the current domestic hidden dangers still exist.
I think that Nanliang's team must have understood before infiltrating in, but Song Wan has not yet received the news that Cui Runan has contacted the other party, otherwise the position of Shu Taishou in the next month will have to be done by someone else.
After returning to the courtyard, Yan Daoji went to see Song Wan alone, explained the team's movements to Song Wan and asked when to start.
The matter of catching turtles in the urn is only a matter of time, so Song Wan ordered to do it tomorrow.

Qiyun Mountain, martial arts field.
After the initial strength test, the people of each level have been divided into different groups, and the next thing to do is to compete in pairs.
The martial arts arena is large enough to accommodate dozens of groups of people competing at the same time.
Shi Changyu and Liang Wei have already competed in each other's games at the moment, and their foundations are not bad, so they each won the competition within ten moves.
After that, Zhu Huyue and Xia Xiu also ushered in their first opponents.
Zhu Huyue's first official shot naturally attracted countless attention, and the late-stage Vientiane Realm player she faced didn't even survive five rounds under her before she was defeated.
It's just that the lightning ended too quickly, so those who have been paying attention have not seen through Zhu Huyue's strength.
Xia Xiu has been immersed in the Great Perfection Realm of Yin Vientiane Realm for a long time, and his martial arts foundation is very good, so he quickly divided the winner and loser as soon as he made a move.
The three brothers all ushered in a good start, and they were naturally in a good mood.
Shen Guo watched it with relish from the stands, and it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale contest.
However, in Shen Jing's opinion, the comparison between the Broken Body Realm and the Vientiane Realm is not very interesting, but there are many masters hidden in the Guiyuan Realm, and many of them have the existence of the Great Perfection of the Guiyuan Realm.
Martial arts training is not only a process of penance, but also dedication.
Those sect families with rich backgrounds can naturally support the expenses of their disciples, but those mountain and wild cultivators can only rely on themselves. Whether it is martial arts moves or cheats, it is difficult to get the best without silver or chance.
Therefore, some of the masters hidden in it want to use the Huaijiang Small World to improve their cultivation, while others may want to be seen by a certain sect or family, so that they already have a good identity, which will also be twice the result for their future cultivation.
Later, after watching more, Shen Guo also lost his initial interest, Shen Guo and Xia Xiu said goodbye, although they didn't say the reason, Xia Xiu already knew that Shen Guo was leaving.
Shi Changyu and Liang Wei also parted ways with Shen Jing, and Shen Jing also returned the salute and asked them to practice well.
Shen didn't inform Xia Xiu about the quota in advance, maybe he could surprise them.
The hero and another horse who had also followed Shen Jing for a long time actually had feelings in Shen Jing's heart, but in the end, Shen Jing still took the hero on the road, and the dark horse was left to Xia Xiu.
The absence of a hero and a small hero will not be so satisfying.
Shen Guo left without planning to greet Zhu Huyue, not only because he didn't want her to be distracted, but also because he didn't want each other to be sad because of this.
Most of the disciples on the mountain gathered around the martial arts arena today, and only those who really had a task to get out of their bodies would stay around the mountain.
Shen Guo went back to the bamboo building to pack up his things, the baggage, the long sword, and the wine bottle did not fall.
Before leaving, Shen Kuang took out a seal from his baggage, which was one of the five seals that the master had given him, and the others had already been sent out one after another.
For example, the wordless seal for Mu Yunfu, the one for Lin Wanzhao "I Met Far Away", and the one for Shi Yu "The Rain is Sunny", and the last two also have their own engravings.
One of them is engraved with "Condensation Cloud Fat", which is for Jiang Ning, and the last one is the one for Zhu Huyue at the moment, with "Chanjuan Bright Moon" under it.
Master had already thought about it, probably on purpose.
Shen Kuang led the horse down the mountain slowly, and most of the disciples on the mountain would politely greet Shen Gongzi, and Shen Kuang always responded with a smile.
Walking and walking, Cheng Ziqiu appeared inexplicably and walked with Shen Jing for a while.
Cheng Ziqiu said as he walked, "You really don't want to say anything to Huyue? Otherwise, she will blame me after the competition."
Shen Guan smiled when he heard this, "What are you afraid of as a master?"
Cheng Ziqiu glanced at Shen Jing angrily, although he didn't speak, but it seemed to be saying what you and your master are like, you don't know what you know in your heart.
Seeing this, Shen Kuang also understood, and said with a smile: "If you say those words more, you should still have to go, and if you see more and talk more, I'm afraid I won't want to go." Your Qiyun Mountain is a good place, there is food, drink, mountains and water, wait for me to come back next time."
"What's next, you're going to go to the capital?"
Shen Jing nodded.
Cheng Ziqiu said: "I'll deal with Huyue's side, so you can go to your rivers and lakes with peace of mind."
After saying a sentence, Cheng Ziqiu paused slightly, although some words were out of place, he still wanted to remind him.
"One day in the future, if you have to make a decision that goes against your heart, don't dare to hold your sword again."
Cheng Ziqiu's words were very inexplicable, even Shen Jing didn't understand what he meant at the moment.
Shen Guo didn't say much, but asked a question that couldn't be hit with eight poles, "How about sealing the mountain in your Nanliang rivers and lakes?"
"My reputation has always been very good, and my disciples are good."
It is not meant to be spoken, but it is clear to both the speaker and the listener.
Cheng Ziqiu didn't ask the reason, and Shen Guo didn't say much, this episode should have passed.
Later, Cheng Ziqiu sent Shen Kuang to the gate of the mountain, and the disciples in charge of the gate of the mountain suddenly saw this patriarch, and they all waited respectfully in place.
Chengzi Qiumu sent Shen Guo away, and later said a few words of encouragement to the young disciples before returning to the mountain, and the young disciples were naturally flattered.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Day, and most of the children who are looking forward to a year can't sleep tonight.
Looking south to the east of the city, the lights are bright tonight.
Because of the New Year's holiday, there is no curfew in the city during this time.
Song Wan changed into civilian clothes and was walking on the streets east of the city with Yan Daoji.
The eastern part of the city is a crowded area of residential areas, and the festive atmosphere is especially strong here.
Song Wan walked through it and watched all this, and seemed to have a feeling of being integrated into it, Song Wan smiled to herself, not that she thought the New Year Festival was interesting, but that she felt interesting when she looked at these people.
Three or two children occasionally interspersed the streets, and even ran in front of Song Wan.
It's not a good form, so some parents will beat their children to the point of crying, in short, the colors of the market are everywhere here.
The location of Nanliang's team Song Wan has been determined, but she is not in a hurry to go straight over, and she will not kill tonight.
After walking for a while, Song Wan said slowly with a calm expression, "Senior Yan, has there been any news from the south recently?"
Yan Daoji heard this: "Most of it is old news. Before, there was a lot of uproar in the south because of the disappearance of the population in Chaoping County, and even to the capital of Nanliang, and in the end it was over. Chaoping County Taishou and Dianqi suffered a lot of punishment because of this, and the prince Xiao Tong was also a big heel in this matter, but there was no substantial loss. And because of our relationship with Rouran, Xiao Yan was actually shaken in his heart, so it is very likely that the change in Nan Liang's attitude will be in a thought."
Speaking of this, Yan Daoji paused, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Song Wan asked, "Senior Yan, why are you laughing?"
Yan Daoji said: "Nanliang has a very interesting place inside and outside this matter."
"Where?"
"Almost everything that can be seen has more or less the figure of that young man named Shen Jing, it's really strange, after stirring up our Great Wei Jianghu, he moved to another place."
Song Wan also smiled when she heard this, not strange, but a little coincidence.
