Chapter 59 The county guard holds a banquet, it is better to obey the fate

Before I reached the city gate, the first thing I saw was a soldier in armor.

These soldiers stopped the people who wanted to enter Lecheng, and they could only pass through after identifying their identities, and basically all the refugees stopped here, not to mention Lecheng, and even the city gate could not be approached.

After passing this level, you can come to the city gate, but the city gate is still heavily guarded, and there is a tent outside the city.

To enter the city, you need to undress and check your body, and you can only enter the city after confirming that you have no disease.

Jiang Wujian really didn't expect that there would be this link, you must know that the garrisons who checked their bodies were all men!

It doesn't matter if he takes off his clothes for a physical examination, but what about Xiaoyu? It's outrageous!

But fortunately, with Murong Bangfeng and her coming forward, these processes are naturally exempted.

It's just that when passing by those tents, Jiang Wuji, who has outstanding ear power, still heard some strange sounds.

For example, the crying of a woman and the wheezing of a man are unbearable......

Just as the crowd was about to enter the city, a disheveled woman was thrown out of her tent.

Immediately afterwards, the two soldiers came out of it, looking at the depressed woman with spring on their faces, talking and laughing.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wuqi gritted his teeth angrily, and just wanted to grab the copper coin sword behind him, but Cao Li held his hand down.

"Little Daoist! Never! ”

Jiang Wuji, who had calmed down, gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this Lecheng is not a good place either. ”

That's when it happened.

"Whoosh!"

Two arrows whizzed past the two soldiers' chests.

Immediately after, a white-haired man with a longbow walked quickly to Murong Bangfeng's carriage and knelt on one knee.

"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the eldest lady!"

"Hmph, General Baili, take care of your people! If such an unbearable thing happens again, the county guard will not keep you! Murong Bangfeng said with a cold face.

General Baili: "Yes! ”

……

Enter the city.

The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragons swim all night.

The night market is lit up by thousands of lights, and high-rise buildings with red sleeves are crowded.

The prosperity of Lecheng far exceeds that of Tianning City, and there is no trace of the miasma left by the plague.

Jiang Wujian sat in the front room of the carriage, looking at the prosperity in his eyes, and for a while he seemed to have come to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Inside and outside the city, it is like two worlds, and when passing through the Goolan Flower Building, the warbler Yanyan makes people's blood gush.

"Brother!" The girl puffed out her cheeks and stared at her brother with a resentful expression.

Jiang Wuji, who came back to his senses, withdrew his gaze from the patches of snow white, touched the bridge of his nose with some embarrassment, and said with a smile: "This Lecheng is really white...... No, I mean Lecheng is really big...... Forget it, it's fine. ”

"That, Cao Li! Cao Li! ”

Cao Li clamped the horse's belly and rode over, "Little Daoist, is there something wrong?" ”

"Did you see the sugar gourd seller over there? Help me buy a bunch back. ”

"Also, the restaurant in front of you should have osmanthus cakes, right? Buy me a copy too. ”

"Little Daoist, that's the Teaching Division."

"......, then you can find a place where osmanthus cakes are sold, go quickly."

Jiang Wuji took out a grain of broken silver and threw it to Cao Li, who raised his eyebrows, "Little Daoist, wait a moment!" ”

When Jiang Zhiyu ate the sugar gourd and osmanthus cake, he no longer had time to care about his brother, and Jiang Wujian also took advantage of this emptiness to take a good look at Lecheng.

The city is prosperous, but the outside is in dire straits.

"What a contrast......"

"But what does it matter to me after all? I can't figure out my own affairs anymore. ”

Jiang Wujian leaned on the carriage, and suddenly felt that the prosperity in front of him was overshadowed.

……

Next, under Murong Bangfeng's arrangement, the brother and sister lived in the largest inn in Lecheng.

The rooms are extremely luxuriously decorated, and there are even young and beautiful girls to serve them, but unfortunately they are all driven away by Xiaoyu.

Looking at the departing backs of those beautiful girls, Jiang Zhiyu crossed his waist with both hands, and said angrily:

"We have hands and feet, so why should we be served? My mother said that beautiful women are bad! Who knows what they're up to! ”

"Then you're beautiful too, so you're bad too?" Jiang Wujian said with a smile.

The girl was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly lowered her head coquettishly, "Brother~ What are you talking nonsense......

Jiang Wuxi rubbed the girl's head and said, "Okay, go to bed early, I'm tired after a day's journey." ”

"Brother tired?"

The girl raised her head and said, "Then I'll go fetch water and let my brother soak his feet!" Oh yes! Brother, are you hungry? We haven't had dinner yet, what do you want to eat? I'll arrange it! ”

"I have my own hands and feet, and I don't need other people's ......"

"It's normal for my sister to serve my brother."

"You're a pretty double standard......"

"Brother, what is a double standard?"

"Praise you......"

"Thank you, brother~"

……

Lecheng is bustling and there is no curfew, so even at midnight, there is still singing and dancing outside.

But what made Jiang Wuxi feel the most troublesome was that the sound insulation of this inn was very poor, and the "creak" in the next room had been ringing for more than an hour.

Oh yes, it's Cao Li who lives next door.

Just in case, the brother and sister still live in the same room.

The girl's whole body shrank into the quilt, and Jiang Wuxi sat cross-legged by the window, exhaling and cultivating.

The next day, early in the morning.

Before the brother and sister had finished their breakfast, there was a knock at the door.

"No illness, Sister Xiaoyu, are you up?" Murong Bangfeng's voice sounded outside the door.

"It's up~"

"Squeak-"

As Xiaoyu opened the door, Jiang Wuxi saw a woman in the Allure City who seemed to have walked out of a painting.

Murong Bangfeng was dressed in embarrassment before, and he couldn't dress up carefully when he was out and about, but now that he has returned to Lecheng, it is naturally different.

Murong Bangfeng in front of him, wearing a blue and white gauze skirt, three thousand green silk hanging down to Yingying's waist, a piece of red silk tied around his waist, his hands are like soft skin, like clotted fat, and his collar is like a grub and his teeth are like rhinoceros.

The light eyebrows are like autumn water, and the jade skin is accompanied by a light breeze.

It's really good-looking......

"No disease?"

"Brother!"

"What? Oh, up. Jiang Wujian lowered his head and continued to drink porridge.

"I wonder what Miss Murong is looking for us?"

Murong Bangfeng snickered and said: "Leping County, large and small, has sent people over, tonight my father will hold a banquet, one is to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the other is to discuss the plague, you are my savior, so my father specially asked me to invite you to the banquet." ”

"No need, saving you is just a favor deal, when I really need you to repay this favor one day, you can just shirk it." Jiang Wujian refused.

Now Jiang Wujian still has a lot of things he hasn't figured out, but when he thinks of the miserable and desolate things outside the city, he can't have a good impression of those bureaucrats, and he doesn't want to get in touch with them.

To put it mildly, with this idle time, it is better to go to the Goolan Teaching Division to experience it and relax.

It's a pity that not everyone can become Xu Yingong.

was rejected by Jiang Wuji, Murong Bangfeng was not surprised at all, she took Xiao Yu's hand and said, "Doesn't Sister Xiao Yu like to eat sweet pastries?" There are so many pastries at tonight's banquet that I can't even eat them on weekdays! ”

"Sister Murong isn't the daughter of the county guard, can't even you eat it?" The girl was surprised.

"Yes, yes, I heard that there is jujube paste cake and green mochi tonight, by the way! And the dragon beard cake! ”

"This dragon whisker crisp, the production process is extremely cumbersome, but after it is made, it is white and dense, as thin as a dragon's whisker, melts in the mouth, and has a sweet aftertaste, which is generally only eaten by the dignitaries and nobles in the capital!"

Murong Bangfeng was like a spring, the girl who said it swallowed her saliva again and again, and looked at her brother with a pair of clear and watery eyes, wanting to say it but not daring to say it.

"Huh...... The dragon's whiskers are crispy, but the people outside eat Guanyin soil. Jiang Wujian said coldly.

The smiles on the faces of the two women suddenly faded.

After a long silence, Murong Bangfeng said: "I often open a warehouse to release grain, but ......"

"You don't have to explain to me, this is a natural disaster and a man-made disaster, but it has nothing to do with you and me, and it is not something you and I can solve." Jiang Wujian said.

Murong Bangfeng bit his lip and changed the subject: "Daoist Qingxuanzi will also come tonight, don't you want to inquire about some news?" I can help you. ”

Jiang Wuxi raised his head, looked at Murong Bangfeng, and asked, "There is one more thing I want to ask Miss Murong." ”

"It's good that you just ask, you're welcome." Murong Bangfeng said.

Jiang Wuji: "Is there a Taoist priest named Qing Xuanzi in the Heavenly Daoist Temple?" Clear water. ”

"Qing Xuanzi?" Murong Bangfeng's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Never heard of ...... Want to help you inquire? ”

"That's not necessary, this matter involves some trouble, and I don't want the people of the Heavenly Dao Temple to know about it for the time being." Jiang Wujian said.

Murong raised his eyebrows, patted his towering chest, and said, "You forgot?" I'm the daughter of the county guard~ I can still do it quietly to inquire about some things, don't worry, I will arrange it properly. ”

Jiang Wujian frowned slightly, and then arched his hand: "Then trouble Miss Murong." ”

"What about tonight's feast......"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."
