Chapter 608: Turning into a ghost city does not return to Yangguan
After seeing the humanities of Qi and the richness of the Chu State, walking on this narrow road of the Qin State will inevitably feel a little barren and desolate.
However, it is such a barren and desolate barbarian small state that is despised by the other six countries of the Central Plains, but in a few decades, step by step, it has stepped into the position of the overlord of the Central Plains.
The first time he came here, Meng Juntong was like duckweed that had lost its roots, at a loss. Her home was sealed, and her relatives all stayed in Shaohua Dream City, when she came to this world, she couldn't even understand the language spoken here, and the helplessness and fear that she had never had filled her young heart.
Four years have passed in the blink of an eye, from that sixteen-year-old girl to a twenty-year-old girl, Meng Juntong has undergone transformation again and again.
Unconsciously, Meng Juntong returned to the place where she was born into the world, the style here has changed a lot, with her memory, she wants to go back to visit the first Granny Tang in this world to receive her.
The small room where Granny Tang lived before was still there, but it had accumulated a thick layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had lived here for a long time.
Meng Juntong couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, there were no other residents within two or three miles of Granny Tang's house, Granny Tang was old and alone, it was difficult to say whether she would encounter any danger. Looking at the scene in front of you, to say something unlucky, maybe Granny Tang is no longer there.
Just as Meng Juntong was about to leave Granny Tang's house, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter carrying a pile of firewood, passing by the door, and when he passed by, he glanced twice at Granny Tang's house.
Seeing Meng Juntong coming out of the house, Uncle Xinqiaofu stopped and asked in an authentic Qindi accent, "Girl, which one are you looking for?"
Meng Juntong seems to have seen this uncle when he was recuperating at Granny Tang's house before, and Granny Tang also talked to this uncle at that time, asking him for some good wood to cook soup medicine for Meng Juntong.
Meng Juntong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked a few steps quickly to the woodcutter uncle's side, and asked in the tone of the Qin people: "Uncle, I am the relative of Granny Tang's family before, and I came back to find Granny Tang this time, by the way, where did Granny Tang go, do you know?"
Uncle woodcutter looked at Meng Juntong, and seemed to think of Meng Juntong: "I remember, it's you girl." Alas, why did you just come back, Granny Tang has been gone for several years. ”
"Gone?" Meng Juntong was a little unsure of what this meant when he left: "Uncle, what you said is gone, where did Granny Tang go?"
Uncle woodcutter sighed: "Where else can I go, I saw the Buddha go to heaven! Alas, she is a good person, but this life is really not a good life." ”
Meng Juntong was stunned, although he had already made some psychological preparations before, but when he really heard the news, the whole person was a little shocked: "Uncle, do you know what year Granny Tang went, and where is her grave?"
"Grave, girl, what do you think, a person who was killed by the Taishou Mansion can still have a grave?" The woodcutter suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly waved his hand, "That's what I said, don't go outside to spread nonsense, it's not good, you have to take your life." ”
was killed, these words were like needles, and they suddenly pierced Meng Juntong's heart.
Also, Uncle Woodcutter said that Granny Tang has been gone for a few years, but when she left, Granny Tang's body was obviously still so tough, although Meng Juntong would not give people any longevity, but looking at the spirit, if nothing else, there is no problem at all to live for another ten years.
"Uncle, can you tell me what happened?" Meng Juntong's voice trembled a little, she was really scared, Granny Tang's death had something to do with her.
At the beginning of the incident in Yangguan City, Meng Juntong thought that he did not leave any horses, although the movement was very big, but because of the relationship between Xiang Ming and the Dragon Shadow Forbidden Army, all the attention of the Qin army was drawn to the secret agent of the Chu State, how could anyone still notice his own affairs.
Uncle woodcutter's head shook like a wavy drum, making it clear that he didn't want to set himself on fire and cause trouble: "Girl, I advise you to leave here as soon as possible." In the past few years, Yangguan Town has been replaced by a new Taishou, which is much more terrifying than the old Taishou's means, and the young people who have a little relationship with Yangguan Town have all escaped, leaving behind either being dragged to cultivate some ghost Taoist temple, or being filled with the army and sent to the front line to fight. When a girl like you enters the city, it is a sheep that has entered the tiger's mouth. ”
Meng Juntong vaguely guessed something, she didn't want to embarrass this woodcutter uncle, lest she really cause trouble like the ones he was afraid of.
At the beginning, it was the second son who was in charge of the Yangguan Taishou Mansion, and he was followed by a Yadao cultivator named Remnant Flower, just now Uncle Woodcutter mentioned the construction of Taoist temples, I am afraid it has something to do with the Remnant Flower real person.
And the old lady was already critically ill that year, and the new Taishou should be the son of the master and took over the entire Yangguan City.
In this Yangguan City, Meng Juntong didn't plan to stay for a long time, she also promised Ah Wen to rush back to Longchuan City before the beginning of winter, so if there is any trouble, it must be quickly cut through the mess and quickly resolved.
didn't even drink a sip of water at the moment, and went directly to Yangguan City.
It only took less than a pillar of incense to Meng Juntong to stand in front of Yangguan City. Compared to the first time I saw it, the lively town was gone, and the current Yangguan City was full of a breath of death, and it made people feel gloomy when they looked at it from a distance.
There is no military guard at the gate of the city, and now the Qin State is strong and strong, and a large number of troops have to be recruited to go to the front line, and the troops in various places fight under the banner of their respective towns, and at least thirty percent of the military merits are recorded on the head of the town chief, and it is precisely because of this that almost every city Taishou or city lord is desperately squeezing the young and middle-aged people in the city, forming an army to enlist, and going to the front line.
Walking into the city, the merchants on the streets are closed, but in broad daylight, there is not even a single figure to be seen, and there are enough rats the size of a casserole to wander leisurely on the streets, not afraid of the living. It's really hard to imagine that only four years have passed, and a big border city has actually become what it is now.
Meng Juntong didn't want to look at this full-eyed depression in the city anymore, so he simply went directly to Yangguan City.
