Chapter 240: Huaiying City

Under the leadership of Wu Gong, they rode horses with torches and didn't know how far they had run, even if they turned their heads and couldn't see the ghosts behind them, several people didn't dare to stop at all.

As for what time it is, anyway, at night in Jizhou, there is not even a star in the sky, only a crescent moon hanging in the sky, miserable and white.

"Drive! Hurry up! Wu Gong pulled the reins several times and urged the horse under him, but the horse did not have a tender grass pond, and it was hungry for a long time, and it was not in a good state, and it could be seen that it had begun to resist its master Wu Gong, but due to the strong evil aura on the other party's body, it could only continue to neigh, and continue to run forward with a hum.

Suddenly, Wu Sheng, who was riding the same horse with Wang Zhongzhu, pointed into the distance and shouted, "Boss...... Ahem, in front of you is the Moon Mountain! ”

Wu Gong looked in the direction he was pointing, and obviously recognized this place.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo also looked at the terrain in the distance, but there was a high mountain, and the shape of the mountain was very strange, like a beast's head with a big mouth open, and if you look at it from a proper angle, the beast's head seemed to be holding the moon in the sky.

"...... of the Moon Mountain" Wu Gong slowed down a bit and stopped.

Others also stopped.

As if he was thinking about something, he quickly said, "I remember that the Bailan River is not far from us...... Let's cross the river first and take a detour. After speaking, he turned the horse's head and prepared to let the horse run towards the stone road not far away, but in the next second, the horse under Duan Huai behind him was awkward because of hunger, shaking his head and neighing, refusing to leave.

Duan Huai was also a violent temper, roared for a long time, and when he saw that it was still disobedient, he hit the horse's belly a few times with his heel.

He is a cultivator, and his strength is not comparable to ordinary people, these few feet go down, and the pain makes the horse turn his body and swing straight, and he has not slowed down for a long time.

"Let me go! A brute of the special mother! Hurry up and get me going! ”

Seeing that his horse was still reluctant to leave for a long time, someone urged: "Old Duan, you hurry up." ”

"I know." Duan Huai responded, and hit the horse's belly with his heel again, "Hurry up!" But at this collision, the horse under him could no longer stand it, and the neighing from his mouth became louder, and he suddenly raised his forelimbs and stood up.

With the neighing sound, Duan Huai, who couldn't reach it, was thrown to the ground by the horse, and then he didn't look at him, and galloped towards the distance, running out for a long distance before listening.

It wanted to eat some grass, but when it looked down, it found that there was no grass on the ground, so it could only raise its head and glance around in confusion.

"This brute!" Duan Huai got up from the ground and scolded angrily, his face turned pale, and he was obviously not lightly fallen.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo looked at the horse, and he didn't have to guess at all to know that he was hungry.

"You tell it well, of course you can't leave when you're hungry."

"Even if this beast is hungry, aren't people hungry too?" He retorted impatiently, but that being said, they couldn't do anything to the horses, as they were an important tool they used to get on the road.

So after he got up, he could only slowly approach the horse that had run away, raised his hands and whispered to it: "Good boy, obedient, you come here, shh......h

Hearing Duan Huai's voice, the horse that had run away glanced up at him, with some hesitation in his eyes, but he still slowly approached him.

"Good, good, come here, yes, yes, that's it......"

After a while, the horse finally returned to Duan Huai's side, and he saw the opportunity to turn over and ride up.

After a short struggle, it quickly calmed down, and Duan Huai patted the horse's neck before saying to everyone, "Okay." ”

After such a play, the horse stopped making trouble and was willing to move forward.

But it is obviously not possible to go on like this, Wu Gong has been observing Duan Huai, although his talent is not as good as that of Tsurumi Chuyun, but he has practiced for more than 20 years, and he also has the cultivation of the peak of the right level, not to mention a horse, ten cows can be killed with one punch.

But he couldn't hold down an old horse just now.

Looking at the others, their faces are not good-looking, especially Kuang Kang, who is about to collapse from hunger.

After thinking about it, Wu Gong took out a sheepskin map from his storage space, glanced at it and said, "It's not a matter if it goes on like this, why don't we go to Huaiying City first, buy some feed, and fill our stomachs, how about it, little girl?" With that, he looked at Tsurumi Hatsukumo and asked what she meant.

And she just nodded lightly in agreement, hungry for so long, even she couldn't stand it anymore.

As for the others, it was even more like raising their hands and feet in agreement.

"I listen to the boss!"

"Me too."

"Then follow me." Wu Gong beckoned to everyone, and then walked to the front.

Huaizhou City is the smallest of the four cities in Jizhou, about two hundred miles away from them, and if there is no unexpected delay on the road, they can reach it in about two days on horseback.

After Tsurumi Hatsukumo joined, they also thought about buying and selling some supplies in the past, but it would take two more days to go back and forth, and they were all on the list of arrests, so they might encounter some trouble when they went there.

In addition, Huaiying City was in the southwest direction of them, and Wu Gong and the others had to take a long detour if they wanted to get there, so they gave up.

You know, if you go directly to Ruyi Bay, you will only be hungry for one more day, and there will be no troubles, how to see how cost-effective.

But now because of the appearance of the ghost capital, it is not a matter of a day or two for them to go to Ruyi Bay if they need to take a detour, in this way, it is better to fill their stomachs under their hands, as for the rest of the matter, it is naturally easy to say, anyway, when they get to Jizhou City, it will take less than ten days to get full.

Perhaps because of the ghost capital, the evil cults within a radius of a hundred miles were all attracted to the past, and they did not encounter any trouble on the road, and it was very smooth.

Seeing this, Wu Gong simply let people not rest, so he kept riding horses, and hurried day and night, striving to get to Huaiying City earlier.

So at noon on the third day, a few people covered in dust stopped at the door of a mud house overgrown with weeds, and when the horse was bolted, Wang Zhongzhu was the first to move forward, and after kicking the door open, he didn't feel dirty on the ground, and lay down on the ground to rest.

"Oops...... I'm tired of it. ”

"You get out of the way for Lao Tzu."

"Die farther away, don't bother me."

"There's shit over here, and you're still lying down."

"It's you ****"

The shouting and shouting of several people was disturbing, but as Wu Gong entered, all these voices disappeared.

"What's the noise?"

"Boss ......" The noisy people hurriedly looked at him, but then his words suddenly made several people frown.

"You all take out the money on your body for me, and let the little girl buy food for us."

"Huh?"

"Boss, where do we still have the silver on us, didn't we all give it to that black-hearted man?"

"Will you be without money? Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up. ”

"Not anymore!"

"Yes, boss, look at me, I'm penniless now!"

As a few people spoke, they turned out all the places where the clothes on their bodies could hold things, and Wu Gong took a closer look, hey, he really didn't have it.

These of his men each clanged poorly.

Reacting, the expression on Wu Gong's face was obviously stiff, and he looked at Tsurumi Chuyun with some embarrassment, and she shook her head, spread her hands, and said, "Don't look at me, the silver on my body can't buy so many things." ”

"Uh......" Wu Gong nodded helplessly when he heard this, "But......" What else did he want to say, but after glancing at Wang Zhongzhu and the others, he was angry.

"Fuck it!" scolded and scolded, Wang Zhongzhu's head was beaten by him for no reason.

Boom!

"Oops!"

"Boss, why are you beating me?"

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's eyes," Wu Gong yelled impatiently.

Now these subordinates of their own do have no money, but they can't stop buying things because they don't have money, they still have to buy things, but this money is ...... It's not that he doesn't have it on him, but it's hard to take it out......

He hesitated, glanced at Tsurumi Hatsuun's face a few times, and every time he saw her eyes, he felt that his old face was hot, and finally, as soon as he gritted his teeth, he still stretched his sense into the storage space and took out a small piece of "brick".

There is nothing extraordinary about this brick, but it is golden......

Tsurumi Hatsuun thought that what he took out would be an extremely shabby-looking money bag, but after seeing this gold bar, her face was also dull.

“……”

"You got it......"

"You ......"

She suddenly remembered one thing, that is, a few days ago, that is, about four or five hours after coming out of Xiyue Village, on the way, she asked Wu Gong a question, that is, he fought and killed on the rivers and lakes all his life, robbed so much money, and where did he end up?

Wu Gong's answer was also very simple, he said that he had robbed too much money to bring it all, but fortunately he buried them somewhere, so many years have passed, and the silver that can be taken away has also cost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and after so many troubles, now he has not much silver in his hands.

His expression recovered, and Tsurumi Hatsuyun looked at Wu Gong again, looked him directly into the eyes, and said in an extremely strange tone, "You don't have much silver?" ”

"Yes...... yes, as I said before, I don't have much silver......"

"So the rest is all gold?"

"Uh......"

Seeing that he was really embarrassed, Tsurumi Hatsuru didn't bother to say anything, and stretched out his hand.

"Give it to me."

"For you, for you, for you, I'm sorry for you, girl." Wu Gong was slightly embarrassed and put the gold bar in his hand in her hand.

Tsurumi Chuyun checked it, although this gold bar is a little small, but at least there are about ten taels, which is equal to one hundred taels of silver.

Just this money, as long as it is not too outrageous, the things that can be bought, to say the least, can make Wu Gong and others eat and drink for a month.

"Then I'll go, you wait for me here."

"Go, go, we'll be waiting for you here."

"Little girl, if you feel that something is wrong, come back quickly, do you know?"

"Got it."

In response, Tsuru saw Chuyun and walked out of the door, and now the location where she and Shen Yi were located was still three miles away from Huaiying City, and they could be reached by walking along the path.

Pulling the reins, she skillfully rode on horseback, but then she thought of something, and shouted to the inside of the earthen house: "Old Wu! ”

"What's the matter, you say."

"I have some business to do when I go into the city, and I will come back at night, so you should be a little more careful."

"Got it, just don't come back."

As he spoke, there was the sound of the table being pulled inside, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the big man inside had started playing cards again.

"The table is set, the cards are dealt."

"What's fun?"

"So what are you doing?"

"I also want to go inside the city to see, I have never seen what it is like inside the city walls."

"Yes, I heard that there is a restaurant inside, and the food in it is delicious."

"You know how to eat when you are a dog, you don't recognize that there is a green building in it, there are so many girls in it, you can play if you give money."

"Wow, my heart itches to hear it."

"Come on, shut your dog's mouths, wait until you enter Fengzhou, and take you to Beiting City to see enough."

"Thank you, Boss!"

“……”

The voices of Duan Huai and a few people in the room faintly came into her ears, she shook her head, turned around on her horse and went forward.

She still has a lot of things to do when she enters the city, first she has to find a face in the black market, and then sell the pill for some money to buy some materials for the beast pill.

However, now the pills in her hands are all the ones that have healing effects, and they may be a little difficult to sell, after all, the pills are used for first aid, if they are not in a hurry, people are more willing to take decoctions to treat diseases, so in order to make her business better, she will spend a few hours refining two furnaces of Pei Yuan Dan.

Looking at the sky, it was already past noon, and there were still four hours to go, and I didn't know if I could finish these things during this time, I hope the black market can be found a little better, and I won't let myself waste too much time.

Thinking about it, she sped up a little as she dismounted, and with a neigh, the Shadow galloped forward.

She walked across the long bridge and over the long slope, and gradually the outline of a city appeared in front of her, and beyond that, there were wide fields, in which countless soldiers patrolled, whipping the peasants who were working in the fields, with whips in their hands.

No, these were not farmers, but slaves, wearing only thin short coats, and their arms were completely exposed, so that the word "slave" was clearly marked on their right shoulder.

Tsurumi Hatsukumo's appearance attracted the attention of some of the soldiers, but they only looked at her and didn't ask her anything.

She was wearing ordinary clothes, covering herself tightly, revealing only one face, but because she had changed her makeup, her new face looked like that, her complexion was yellowish, and with the clothes on her body, she looked like a village girl who came out of that mountain.

In addition, her sword is not placed in the storage space, but on her back, which can make some ill-intentioned people more jealous.

And what she saw in front of her was only the tip of the iceberg of Huaiying City, as she got closer, she saw more places, it was a large area of destroyed fields, the area was more than several times that could be seen in front of her, a large number of crops and soil were tightly mixed together, and the ground was also a little lower, as if it had been run over by a road roller.

The walls facing north are also completely collapsed, and a large number of ruins of buildings can be seen, and almost no intact buildings can be seen.

It seems that there has been a big war here, and it seems to be even more serious than Ju'a City.
