Chapter 16: Hey, hey, hey, stop me.
"Hurry!!"
"Drive~!"
On the official road, more than a dozen cavalrymen wearing Qi armor shouted, constantly lifting the horse's belly under the crotch with their legs.
Seeing this, the people who came and went along the way, and even the horsemen of some carriages, hurriedly drove towards both sides of the official road.
Shui Yan is also among them.
Because it is the first time to go far away, I don't know the way, so the official road is the best choice.
After all, unlike other roads, official roads are not only wider than ordinary roads, but more importantly, most of them are directly connected to the next city, and there are few forks in the road.
Therefore, when you are far away for the first time, you can take the official road to reduce the risk of getting lost.
What's more.
On the official road, there are generally no outlaws such as robbers.
After all, no one is stupid enough to mess around on the official road.
The robbery of the people is not the same as the loss of the majesty of a nation.
Although the former will also be wanted, the latter is directly forced, and the officials to whom the incident occurred are directly unstoppable.
After all, you are on other people's territory, slapping other officials in the face openly, in order to keep your job from being angry, you must not be used?
Therefore, the official road is undoubtedly the fastest and safest road among all roads.
Therefore, along the way, Shui Yan saw countless carriages of merchants and scholars.
"Hurry!!"
Grunt~!
With a shout, the sound of dense horse hooves sounded, and more than a dozen Qi cavalry flashed in front of Shui Yan in an instant.
And this time.
The carriages that had just taken refuge and the people who were hurrying back to the official road again looked at the cavalry with puzzled expressions.
Seeing that those cavalrymen were in such a hurry, it seemed that something big must have happened.
But after the discussion.
The big guy should be in a hurry and continue to hurry, and no one cares.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
Not long after the cavalry left, the carriage on the official road began to shout with the rotation of the wheel.
When the people saw this, they also hurriedly avoided it.
"Cheap to avoid expensive, less to avoid long, light to avoid heavy, to avoid coming."
This rule of walking on the official road is vividly manifested at this moment.
Shui Yan is no longer a newborn calf, and he has long been accustomed to the 'privileges' of the powerful in this era, so he does not find it strange.
This scene.
It's just one of the products of this era.
It's nothing more than anything else.
An hour later. Shui Yan, who was carrying a package on his back and a sword on his waist, was hurrying on the road, but suddenly saw some Qi soldiers with weapons on the official road in the distance, checking the people.
And in a place near the check, more than a dozen corpses appeared in the middle of the road.
Men and women, young and old.
And a carriage with a lot of blood splattered quietly stopped aside.
"How did so many people die!"
"Hey, dare to kill people on the official road, this is afraid of not looking for death!"
Shui Yan listened to the whispers of the people rushing beside him, and his eyes were also very curious.
By road.
Killing people on official roads is indeed like looking for death.
There are really people who eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, so deadly. What a feud this must be!
On the official road.
Two Qi soldiers wore swords and constantly checked the people.
"Last name! Where to stay? ”
Whenever the identity is confirmed after the inspection, the two Qi soldiers will be released.
Don't underestimate this way of checking people.
The cavalry had already informed the nearby cities of the incident, and it would probably not be long before they could.
Don't say the official way.
Even on the country road, there will be Qi soldiers to check.
If the murderer wants to leave, it's not that simple!
Shui Yan lined up, waiting to check himself.
And at this moment he also saw that in the place of the carriage, a dead soul of his age was sitting there in a daze.
Apparently the young man's ghost had already understood that he had been killed.
It's just that I can't let go of the obsession in my heart, so the soul of the dead hasn't dissipated for a while.
And just as Shui Yan looked at him, the revenant soul had apparently found Shui Yan the same size as him.
Just when the revenant boy saw that Shui Yan was the same age as him, but he was already dead, he was a little sad.
But I suddenly found out.
The boy, who was as old as himself, didn't seem to be looking at the carriage.
The look.
It's looking at him!!
This discovery suddenly made the revenant boy a little stunned, full of disbelief, and looked at himself, could it be that he was not dead?
But the next moment.
When the revenant boy looked at the carriage, he saw his body again.
Suddenly, the emotions that had been excited again withered.
Really.
He's still dead!
No, no, if he died, how could the boy see him again?
The revenant boy who suddenly grasped the key point looked up with a puzzled expression.
"You. Can you see me? ”
As if he wanted to verify it, the revenant boy said to Shui Yan.
With the tone of a nobleman before his death, but with that puzzled expression, it was particularly ridiculous.
The revenant boy didn't get an answer, but he clearly saw that the boy looked at him after hearing his words, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"Can you really see me?"
Shui Yan's expression obviously startled the revenant boy, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Yan in disbelief.
However, at this time, Shui Yan didn't pay attention to the revenant boy.
"Last name! Where to stay? ”
The soldiers of the Qi Kingdom looked at Shui Yan and opened their mouths to interrogate.
And the other nearby Qi soldiers also looked at Shui Yan at this time.
They had already noticed the boy just now.
Or, seeing the young man behind his back, with a sword at his waist!
Therefore, when it was time for cross-examination, they cheered up. If the sword-wielding boy was the slightest bit strange, they would immediately catch the boy and bring him back for torture.
"Shui Yan, my family lives outside Linzi City, Water Village."
As he spoke, Shui Yan took out the wooden clearance card that the man gave him from his arms.
Seeing that Shui Yan had a wooden card for customs clearance, not to mention the soldiers of the Qi State who were interrogated, it was the other soldiers of the Qi State, and their faces were relieved.
As long as the wooden sign is not fake.
The boy had no problem.
"Hiss~!"
After the cross-examining Qi soldier took the wooden plaque in Shui Yan's hand, when he saw that the special mark was engraved with the word 'Tian', he subconsciously took a cool breath.
As a pawn in the Qi State, how could he not understand what this 'Tian' represented behind him.
Therefore, when I look at the boy with the sword in front of me. This Qi soldier put away the contempt in his eyes because of the young man's clothes.
"What? Tian's! You are a member of the Tian-sama!! ”
However, beside the Qi soldiers who were interrogated, the revenant boy reacted extremely fiercely after looking at the wooden card.
"Let's go!"
However, the Qi State soldier in charge of the interrogation could not hear it, nor could he see the revenant boy beside him.
After handing over the clearance wooden card to Shui Yan, he signaled that Shui Yan could continue his journey.
"Thank you!"
Shui Yan took the wooden sign and put it in his arms. After thanking the Qi soldiers, he continued on his way.
Seeing this, the revenant boy who was ignored hurriedly followed Shui Yan.
"Hey, hey, I'm the son of the Wrinkle family, my father and your family are colleagues, hey, hey, did you hear me. Stop, stop! ”
