Chapter 413: Donghai City
Guanfeng County, Miansi City.
Under the arrangement of Shen Jing and Gong Ruhui, the Lin family had already joined the Ruan family caravan and left Miansi City safely when night was just rising.
After sending the team out of the city until they disappeared from view, Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao finally put their minds at ease.
Qin Han and a few other Ruan family worshippers did not follow the team, but they would also escort Ruan Shisha away tonight and take another way.
This hurried encounter with Ruan Shuisha was accidental, but it was a great favor for Shen Qian, so when parting, Shen Jing and Ruan Shuisha sincerely thanked him.
The simple-minded Ruan Hookah accepted it happily this time, and in Ruan Hookah's words, this was an exchange of courtesies.
Under the protection of Qin Han and a few people, Ruan Shuisha first Shen Guan and Lin Wan came out of the city.
Because it would take a long distance to go to Donghai City in the future, and Lin Wanzhao was not suitable for horseback riding, Shen Guo specially bought a carriage and let him drive it, and the horse hero followed behind the carriage.
On a spring night, in the night sky, a bright moon hangs high, and the clouds around the moon are clearly visible.
The moon is shining tonight, and it is beautiful.
Although Shen Guan told Lin Wanzhao to let her stay in the carriage when it was windy at night, Lin Wanzhao still sat side by side with Shen Jing on the wheel.
This is the first time Lin Wanzhao has gone out alone with Shen Guan, although the boat and car are simple, as long as Shen Guan is in Lin Wanzhao, he is very happy.
I hope that my lover will last forever, and I will not lose my heart.
Shen Jing looked at Lin Wanzhao, who was a little excited beside him, and said gently, "There is still a long way to go, Zhao'er, you should rest for a while."
Lin Wanzhao looked at Shen Jing and said with a smile, "Lang Jun, I'm not tired at all now. How long will it take us to get to Tokai City?"
Shen Jing replied softly, "It will be half a month at most. Because the East China Sea is not very peaceful, we will try to enter the city as little as possible in the future, and then take a little detour, just to see more scenery along the way."
Being with a loved one is thousands of miles away and it won't feel far away, the two took advantage of the night to leave Miansi City, and it was a long time before they reappeared.
After all, the news of the defeat on the northern front could not contain the fire, and Guan Fengjun was not surprising, but something finally happened.
A few days after Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao left Miansi City, the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe joined forces with Hou Jing, the lieutenant of Guanfeng County, to rebel, and they supported Yuanyin, the king of Bohai, and raised the banner of Kuangfu Wei.
But no matter how loud their slogans are, people with a discerning eye can see that they are not justifiable, and they will not win the hearts of the people of the world.
After they raised their army, they quickly took control of Guanfeng County and the land to the east, and contacted the Langyu Wang clan of Southern Liang and the remnants of Murong Xianbei entrenched in the northeast of Great Wei, hoping to unite more forces so that they could gain a foothold here.
Soon after, the rebels swept through the eastern region.
Both the imperial court and Dugu Chong expected this step, so Dugu Chong, the general of the left guard who was in the boundless city of Yueshu County, organized troops to attack the large and small cities in Guanfeng County almost as soon as the two families raised their troops.
Although the rebel army initially gained momentum, it was inevitably a little less interesting in the face of the elite of the Wei army, who had experienced life and death.
Therefore, soon after the uprising, Guanfeng County was attacked by Dugu Chong and recaptured several cities in a row, and the momentum of the rebel army was also suppressed.
Fortunately, the county lieutenant Hou Jing was not an unknown person, on the one hand, he organized troops to defend the important cities in the county, and on the other hand, he asked the two major families to urge the Murong clan in the northeast to send troops to help, and soon the situation gradually stabilized.
After the Great Wei Imperial Court made a move, the Louwailou Building, which had already made some moves, also began to close their nets.
The action of the outer building of the building was never limited to frontal defeat, but collapsed from the inside, so soon after, two more cities were taken down without abolishing the Great Wei.
For a while, Guanfeng County, which was originally controlled by the two major families, was captured by the imperial court, and less than seven days have passed.
————
After Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao left Miansi City, they rushed all the way in the direction where Donghai City was located, because they needed to make a detour
So they don't travel fast.
Although the two of them did not pass through the city during this time, they still felt the unusual atmosphere in the county, and they almost collided with a small group of rebels on the road several times, and they sensed the loss in advance.
It was just after noon today, and because there was no country tea stall on the road where they could rest, the two of them had only chewed some dry food from early in the morning to now.
They have been sleeping in the open for a few days, but Lin Wanzhao's excitement has not diminished at all.
Shen Jing also asked her before, and Lin Wanzhao said that she hadn't been like this for many years, and she didn't think about anything for a long time, she just needed to be carefree and happy.
Shen Guo thought about it when he heard this, this kind of unrestrained life is indeed more comfortable than managing business, not to mention Lin Wanzhao, who has been working hard to worry about the family business for many years.
Lin Wanzhao has become more and more fond of the hero who has been following the carriage these days, because the hero is human, so sometimes Lin Wanzhao is even willing to say a few words to it that they don't understand each other.
Lin Wanzhao was curious about why the hero's name was called the hero, so Shen Jing told the story with the children again.
Lin Wanzhao heard it more and more and more that the name of the hero was good, a hero, a hero, and now there is another hero.
In this way, after the two of them had walked on the mountain road for about half an hour, several villages appeared next to each other on the Tantu Plain in front of them.
Some people had the opportunity to buy some food to rest, so after seeing the outline of the village, Shen Qing sped up, and the two of them rushed outside the village in a short time.
Although there are soldiers outside the village, as long as the fire of war does not burn them, it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, when Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao rushed outside the village, the villagers did not interrogate them because they were outsiders, but Shen Guan asked why they were not afraid of the war outside the village.
One of the old men laughed when he heard this: "No matter who wins or loses, it will not affect my food, they will not hit us until they are exhausted, and if they think of us, they will have nowhere to escape."
In terms of transparency, it still has to be an old man.
Although the villagers didn't care, Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao still didn't bother too much, rested outside the village, and bought some food with silver, and then the two continued to hurry.
Driving in the mountains and wilderness is the most empty, and it is inevitable that it will be boring after a long time, so Shen Guan began to tell Lin Wanzhao about the spirits he encountered along the way.
Most of the ordinary people have only talked about these things in books or heard from Mr. Storyteller, and Lin Wanzhao is no exception.
When Shen Kuang first mentioned the mountain spirits and ghosts, Lin Wanzhao would even ask them what they looked like, and she had probably imagined countless strange looks in her mind.
Shen Jing smiled and said, "Because the ones I met have been transformed, their appearance is no different from ours. However, if you are not a cultivator, you will not be able to recognize these mountain spirits and ghosts even if they are right in front of you."
After hearing that it was human, Lin Wanzhao suddenly felt a little disappointed, probably because it was a little different from the terrible appearance she imagined.
"Lang Jun, aren't they afraid of you?"
Shen Jing shook his head and smiled, "Do you remember what I told you about Xiang'er, that little girl? Because of her, they will know my kindness to these spirits that they meet on the road later, so they will not be afraid even if they meet me."
"It's really amazing, I didn't expect this to be in the world we live in."
Shen Jing nodded and smiled, "Very exciting. If you have the opportunity to return to Liushui Village in the future, I will take you to meet Gu Sheng, who is transformed by a white fox."
Lin Wanzhao seemed to suddenly remember something when she heard this, and she looked at Shen Jing with a frown.
Shen Jing also saw the question in Lin Wanzhao's eyes, so he explained with a smile: "Although Gu Sheng is transformed by a white fox, he is actually a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, not the fox spirit with heavy makeup in Mr. Storyteller's mouth, so it's nothing."
Lin Wanzhao nodded when she heard this, and then she asked again, "Lang Jun, will these monsters also be good monsters?"
Shen Jing shook his head and said, "Of course not
Yes, there are good people and bad people, and there are good and bad demons, and people and demons are actually the same."
This kind of rush is actually a good way to pass the time.
Mountain spirits and ghosts can be encountered but cannot be sought, and even most people are unwilling to meet them in their lifetime, so Lin Wanzhao's expectations are difficult to achieve at the moment.
Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao have been in such a hurry, and the chaos of the war in the outside world has nothing to do with them at all.
After another ten days, Shen Kuang and Lin Wanzhao, who were hurrying slowly, finally arrived at Donghai City safely.
The so-called homesickness, but this feeling is not half a point on Shen Guo, because he has no homesickness, and even this rural road is the first time he has walked.
Donghai City is the most majestic city in the east of the Great Wei, if the people of the Great Wei are fierce, then this situation is most obvious in the East China Sea City.
Both men and women in the city can dance and play guns, so not doing anything in Donghai City is actually more like self-preservation, especially for outsiders.
The closer he got to Donghai City, the less words he spoke, and Lin Wan took care of this kind of change.
Although Shen Guan didn't say it, Lin Wanzhao was very nervous, and it was a kind of nervousness that couldn't be explained, the only thing Lin Wanzhao could do was to hold Shen Jing's hand tightly and accompany him.
When the tall and dark city walls of Donghai City suddenly appeared in Shen Jing's eyes, he was a little nervous and a little relieved.
At that moment, Shen Kuang felt that he had seen this picture with his own eyes, and it seemed that he was standing in the same position and the same line of sight.
Mo Daochun came and went, although Jiangnan is a foreign country.
Shen Jing stood in place and looked at the East China Sea City in the distance, which he had been looking forward to for a long time, although it was the first time he came, his eyes were filled with mist, no one asked him why he came back, only he whispered to himself that I was late.
"Lang Jun, we're here." Lin Wanzhao on the side said shallowly as if she had read Shen Jing's heart.
A smile appeared on Shen Kuang's face, he wiped the mist in his eyes and said with a smile, "Zhao'er, let's go."
Because there are quite a lot of Jianghu families in Donghai City, the rebellion of the Gao clan of Qizhou and the Cui clan of Qinghe has little impact on this place, and it is more of a topic of conversation after dinner.
The routine inspection at the city gate was more like an ornament, and the two guards of the city let them in just by looking at the sword on Shen Guan's waist, and they didn't ask a word of superfluity.
Not long after Shen Jing and Lin Wanzhao entered the city, one person and one horse also rushed to the city, and the guards of the city also raised their eyes lightly and saw that the person who came had a sword and let them go, and they also did not speak.
