Chapter Twenty-Four: The Story of Nanjiang City
What strange place did she run to again?
Yuan Sasa frowned in distress, and suddenly remembered that when he and the boss of the boat said that they were going to get off the boat in Nanjiang City, the other party's expressions and words were very intriguing.
"Nanjiang City? Are you sure? ”
This is very problematic when I think about it, but unfortunately at that time, Yuan Sassa only cared about leaving, and just dealt with it casually.
She wailed, she knew this was the case, she must have grabbed the boat boss and asked clearly!
"Brother? What happened to you? ”
Wei Yichen tugged at Yuan Sasa's sleeve, his face was puzzled, and he didn't notice the strangeness of this Nanjiang City at all.
"Are we standing here?"
He recalled Yuan Sasa's sanity with one sentence, and the two of them had been standing in the middle of the road for a long time, looking even stranger than the scenery in the city.
"Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first."
Yuan Sasa sighed, it is obviously unrealistic to go out of the city to find another place to live at this time, she has already seen it before she got off the boat, the radius of ten miles is full of wilderness, it is not as good as here!
What are you afraid of! Isn't there just a little less people? What's all the fuss!
Yuan Sasa kept cheering himself up in his heart, and when he saw an inn with lights on on the road, he rushed in!
"Boss, stay at the hotel!"
The store was empty, there were no guys, only the owner, a short man in an ill-fitting coat, looking in amazement from behind the counter at the two men who had rushed into the store.
"You're going to stay here?"
Yuan Sassa snorted, "What, can't it?" ”
"That's not it...... Come in, you two, the shop has a room! ”
The boss hurriedly waved his hand and showed a smile, but he looked inexplicably bitter.
He beckoned Yuan Sasa and Wei Yichen to go over to register, and at the same time said to himself, "How fresh, there are still people who come to Nanjiang City to live in the hotel this year......
His tone and the hints in his words were similar to those of the boss of the boat, and Yuan Sassa suddenly stopped writing, this time she had to ask.
"Boss, what do you mean by that?"
"You two came from afar, right?"
The boss didn't answer the rhetorical question, but his tone was extremely affirmative, and he put his hands in his sleeves, as if he didn't need Yuan Sassa to speak, and he had already come up with the answer he wanted.
"Exactly." After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Sasa still nodded, "My brother and I are going to transfer from here to the northwest." ”
The boss showed a smile that was really like this, "No wonder you want to come to this Nanjiang City, but ...... Alas! ”
He looked at the sky that was already completely dark, and very quickly boarded the door, and through the gap between his movements, Yuan Sasa saw that the shops that had not yet closed were also doing the same thing.
After closing the door, the boss simply did not return to the counter, but found a fairly clean table and invited the two to sit down.
"If you want to talk about our Nanjiang City, it used to be a good place that was envied by ten miles and eight towns." He served the two of them tea again, and then they began to talk.
"People in the vicinity have to pass through Nanjiang City wherever they go, and the water and land here are smooth, and they don't go far, so it quickly changed from a small village to a big town!"
Yuan Sasa didn't feel right when he heard it, "According to what you said, Nanjiang City should be very lively, how can this be?" ”
"What's the hurry!" The boss himself took a sip of tea, probably hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, and the conversation was very interesting.
"As soon as Nanjiang City became prosperous, bad things began to happen, and the surrounding bandits and bandits all set their eyes on this piece of fat and took turns to rob it!"
"At first, the government could still lead troops to resist, but there were too many of them, and they were ruthless, and those water bandits could hold their breath and sneak around, they had reed poles in their mouths, swam all the way from the Nanjiang River into the city, and quietly touched the government and killed all the officials and men who dared to oppose them!"
Yuan Sassa was shocked, "There is still such a thing!"
"Not really!" The boss lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "There is a leader of those bandits, who seems to have read a lot of books, killed the official master, and then managed Nanjiang City by himself." ”
He snorted, "What can the water bandits do?" And so it became what it is now! ”
Yuan Sasa listened dumbfounded with his mouth half open, he couldn't imagine that this kind of thing would happen!
"So, isn't there anyone to beat the bad guys?"
Wei Yichen suddenly opened his mouth, and he gestured hard twice to make an attack posture.
"Mama told me a story that at such a time, there will be a very powerful general who will bring a lot of soldiers and beat all these bad guys away!"
The boss looked at the behavior of this eight-foot man in puzzlement, the milky tone, the gestures of the comparison, what kind of trouble?
Yuan Sasa hurriedly reached out and tapped twice on his head, and at the same time said with his mouth, "My brain is broken!" ”
The boss showed a look of sudden realization and looked at Yuan Sasa with great sympathy.
She had gotten used to such a look along the way, and skillfully returned a bitter smile.
"Grandpa, tell me quickly?"
The time for the two to exchange information was a little long, and Wei Yichen was anxious to know what was going on, and impatiently urged the boss to continue.
The corners of the boss's mouth twitched, this face was in the prime of life, and he was twice as strong as him when he stood up, and it was really acceptable to speak like this.
He didn't have a single white hair, but he just had two wrinkles, how did he become his grandfather?
Yuan Sasa desperately gave up his hands on the side, begging him to hurry up and continue, otherwise this ancestral designation will be endless!
"Uh......" The boss straightened his thoughts, "You're talking about the emperor, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wei Yichen was very happy when he heard this name, "It's the emperor, grandma said that the emperor is the most powerful person!" ”
Yuan Sasa listened in horror, always ready for him to leak his mouth, and he had to hurry up to stop it.
However, he behaved well, and the boss smiled bitterly and let out a long sigh when he heard this.
"The emperor is powerful, but his old man's house is too far away from the southwest! I can't get by! ”
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, this is not an empty word, just look at the current loss of control in Nanjiang City.
"What about the generals?"
With Wei Yichen's current state, he didn't know who the person they were discussing was, so he only continued to ask, "Aren't the generals coming either?" ”
"The generals are here," the boss spoke, and before he knew it, he was taken away by Wei Yichen and entered the fairy tale mode, "but the generals are not familiar with the terrain here, and they were quickly defeated by the water bandits." ”
There are many mountainous jungles in the southwest, and if you are not careful, you will get lost, and there are often miasma infested, so it is difficult for outsiders to take advantage of this.
"The generals have failed, ah......"
Wei Yichen's shoulders collapsed, and he whispered weakly, as if he had also lost the battle.
"Grandpa, are there still a lot of water ghosts here?"
