Chapter 207: A Chivalrous Man in a Bad Situation
Ji Yuan shook the letter paper to see if there was anything missing, and then refolded the letter and put it back in the envelope.
'Looking at words is like seeing people, Du Heng's left hand writing has been so smooth and powerful, presumably just like his martial arts practice, although it is not perfect, but it is extremely vigorous. ’
Putting away Du Heng's letter, Ji Yuan looked at Yin Qing and Yin Zhaoxian's letters again.
The content of Yin Qing's letter is the same as expected, most of it is just an ordinary description of the recent situation, and it also talks about some things about reading by the river, what books he reads, what reactions he has on the water, etc., but he did not write any words such as "big herring" and "old turtle", this should be the most recent letter in time, which was written half a month ago.
Yin Zhaoxian's letter was written in late autumn, and the distance between Wanzhou and Jinzhou is actually not too much, but Du Heng's letter is more than a month different from his time before and after, because the road is smooth and developed, and Yin Zhaoxian is a prefect, so the speed of transmission is so bad.
In the letter, Master Yin rarely confided in Ji Yuan some troubles in his heart, saying that even if he had been mentally prepared, the officialdom was still more complicated than imagined, from top to bottom and even in a mansion, there were many bullshit things, and things like false and wrongful snakes were secondary, some people were really wine bags and rice bags, and they were unwilling to be idle except for eating and drinking, but in the past two years, he has also been good at cultivating qi and kung fu, and he has become more and more handy, and has begun to rectify Lishun Mansion.
Of course, the most important thing in Yin Zhaoxian's letter is not to complain to Ji Yuan, he is not such a boring person, the real important news is that the wife of the Yin family has been called out of the happy pulse, and it has been confirmed for a while, and then he specially wrote to inform Ji Yuan and Yin Qing.
After reading his friend's letter, his expression was quite strange.
"This ...... I don't know how Yin Qing will feel when he reads Master Yin's letter......"
After reading the three letters, Ji Yuan pondered and stood in the courtyard for a while, looked up at the branches of the jujube tree hanging with snow, and then stretched out his hand to the big jujube tree.
"Ask for a new jujube. ”
When the words fell, a jujube fell from the branch, and it happened to fall in the palm of Ji Yuan's hand.
It is somewhat similar to the previous ash of the rocks, this jujube is also cool in the palm of the hand, but you can also feel a fire full of aura inside, of course, this fire is relatively soft.
After taking the dates, Ji Yuan quickly walked back to the house, found out the two locks from the inside, closed the door and locked it, and then went out of the yard to lock the courtyard door.
After doing this, Ji Yuan stood outside the courtyard gate, took out a bag from his arms, and then threw it towards the courtyard of Ju'an Xiaoge, whoosh~ Got it, and the bag rope crossed an arc and hung directly on the door of the main house inside.
The bag fell on the door and still swayed from side to side, and in the process, a small white paper head poked out of the mouth of the bag, looked outside, and then immediately retracted.
After looking around, Ji Yuan outside no longer hesitated, and after casting the blinding method, he jumped lightly, rolled up a gust of wind in the air and rose to the sky, and then drove the clouds out of Ning'an County.
。。。
Jinju is located in the northwest of Jiju, also in the north of Gyeonggi Province, in a straight line, the road is closer than Jizhou to Gyeonggi Province, but if ordinary people really want to go from Jizhou to Jinzhou, it will definitely take longer than going to Gyeonggi Province, the traffic conditions are too poor, not to mention the rugged road and there is not much waterway to use.
After flying for three or four hours, the wind in the sky seems to be not very stable, and there is a downward trend from time to time, so that Ji Yuan has to be careful when flying, if it is not for the pursuit of speed, some places are even not as smooth as Ji Yuan's legs.
About an hour passed after sunset, and Ji Yuanzhong stepped on the land of Jinzhou in the dim sky, and obviously felt that the temperature was much colder than Jizhou.
This is the northern state of Dazhen, in terms of prosperity, it is considered to be the bottom of the territory of Dazhen, mainly because the population is relatively sparse, and natural disasters and the like are not frequent, but winter and early spring are really difficult, and the cultivation time is much less.
The location where Ji Yuan fell was a town he didn't know the name of, and he didn't know the way or the hexagram, but he found this place by virtue of the qi induction between this and the chess pieces.
Standing outside the town and looking at the situation of the town, although it looks at it roughly, at least there is no demonic aura on the surface, but this person's fire aura doesn't seem to be too strong, and he always feels like there is a feeling that the firewood is not prosperous, and this alone makes Ji Yuan a little more distracted.
This is not because there are few people, in fact, even if there is only one person, there is a distinction between prosperous and unprosperous.
There is only one inn in Tingshui County, which is not large, although it is called a county, but in Ji Yuan's eyes, it is almost like a larger town.
In this inn called Yingkelou, several guests who have not changed their rooms for half a month are Du Henghu and some of his chivalrous friends.
Strangely enough, there were three upper rooms next to each other, the middle one with two wooden walls on both sides, and the three rooms had nine beds, and they were as close together as possible, and there were several stoves in the room that were constantly burning with charcoal, and the inside was baked warm.
In the middle of the three-room room, Du Heng sat in the center of the golden knife, a long knife that was not unsheathed was grabbed by his left hand and pestled on the ground, although a pair of eyes were closed, but looking at him like this, he would definitely be able to burst out at any time.
There are also three dressed warriors on the side, some are sitting at the tea table, some are sitting on the ground practicing internal skills, and those who are close to the bed are all asleep, three of them are intact, and the other four are pale and clear, even if they fall asleep, they are oozing with sweat, but their bodies are shrunk together as if they are very cold.
"Knock knock..."
"Who?"
When the knock on the door sounded, Du Heng suddenly opened his eyes, and a martial artist at the table asked in a low voice at the door.
"Guest officer, the hot water is boiling, do you want to bring it in?"
It was the voice of the shopkeeper, Du Heng glanced at one of the martial artists, and the other party nodded and stood up, opened the door and took a closer look at the shopkeeper before answering.
"Bring it up, by the way, is there any news?"
The shopkeeper yawned and looked inside before answering.
"In the big winter, what news can there be, we have closed the road in the heavy snow in winter, and there are not many people walking around. ”
"Well, you go get busy. ”
"Hey!"
Watching the shopkeeper leave, the warrior closed the door again.
"Du Daxia, we have been in this county for so long, and it seems that we have gotten rid of it this time. ”
Du Heng looked at his companions beside him, frowned and shook his head.
"Not necessarily, don't let your guard down, our opponent this time is not the scum of the rivers and lakes, and if you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
"Hmm!" "Yes!"
While others echoed it, there was also a sadness in their eyes.
"It's really delayed by this winter, otherwise we would have gone to Fucheng a long time ago. ”
"There's no way, Jinzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and the roads are even worse, if these small counties are county seats, they are not even as good as the big towns in Neizhou, and there is not even a City God Temple!"
As if to ease the atmosphere, some people made a joke between the conversations.
"I've encountered this incident, and I'll have something to talk about when I go back to the rivers and lakes in the future, Du Daxia, I remember that your Du family once had an allusion to a master who killed ghosts after drinking, let's not let it go, right?"
Du Yutian's deeds of killing ghosts after drinking are not a secret in the rivers and lakes, of course, there are few people who believe in it, including Du Heng in the past, but now these people here are more willing to believe it.
Du Heng didn't speak, but the other person said something self-deprecatingly.
"But we didn't seem to be able to kill those!"
Speaking of this, the man who had just spoken didn't know whether he was afraid or angry.
"Damn, obviously I have already cut off the head of the demon woman, but I can still find the door without dying, and those terrible children are almost all right, so Du Daxia frantically slashed one of the children and burned it, no one believes this kind of thing!"
"The most hateful thing is this poison, Li Tongzhou is so strong in martial arts, he can't force the toxin to be removed, and he is more and more dying when he uses up the medicine stone, otherwise with him and Du Daxia sitting together, how can we be ...... Hey!"
Du Heng had been sitting there with a knife and listening to others, but he didn't speak.
"Brother Du, do you think we can escape?"
The one on the side with a little dark circles under his eyes, like Du Heng, was a little tired, and as soon as he spoke, the room came closer.
Du Heng looked at him, and then looked around.
"Surely, we've written so many letters, and we'll definitely be able to help!"
"But the situation in Golden State... Those that may not be sent out after the winter are ...... before the winter"
The warrior didn't continue, everyone knew that they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter before the winter, and they had been healing their companions' injuries until the situation suddenly became weird after the winter, and the injuries that should have been stable also deteriorated.
"No, it won't!"
Du Heng let out a low sigh to boost the spirits of others.
"I once got news from the Wei family that one of my high-ranking teachers had returned home from a wandering, and suggested that I go to visit, but I was out of town at the time and could not return, but I had already written to him before the winter, as long as my division commander could receive the letter......"
"Cluck-la-la-la... Cluck-la-......"
A subtle sound sounded, Du Heng's voice stopped, and the martial artists in the room also subconsciously looked overhead.
One of them had goosebumps on his body, pointed to it and whispered.
"House... Top ......"
