Volume 6 Chapter 50 On the Road
Yang Feng and An Ziyu rode two horses all the way along the road on the left.
Some of them were nostalgic for the scenery under Jiuxuanmen Mountain, and some were afraid of the battlefield scene, so they all tacitly moved forward slowly.
Along the way, from time to time, I saw the grizzled people coming in the opposite direction, and An Ziyu couldn't help but sigh: "Even if both sides of the war only kill the enemy, it is the common people who suffer." Without a comfortable environment to cultivate the world, you can only leave your hometown. ”
This time, An Ziyu's sigh Yang Feng was not disgusted, because he himself felt the same way.
Yang Feng, who has lived in Kyoto since he was a child, can be regarded as a gentleman, because he lives in the General's Mansion, even if he is a young master of a first-class official family in Kyoto, he has to give three points of courtesy if he knows it.
That drunken dream building, Yang Feng often goes. Although he was not lustful, he liked prosperity, and if he really gave himself a mansion and a box of gold and silver, he himself could not guarantee that he would not squander it.
At that time, it was a peaceful and prosperous era, and the people in Kyoto were even more full of pockets, like today's situation, Yang Feng has lived on the mountain for a long time, but it is also the first time to see it so closely, the expressions on the faces of the ordinary people are extremely sluggish and sad, Yang Feng seems to be in it, and can feel their state of mind.
It must be a state of mind that is hot and cold, tossing and turning, and this state of mind is very tormenting, because there is no hope for the future, and it is very confused about the present, and it is not even known whether it will lose its life.
Although it is said that the rebel army has not slaughtered the city so far, it is difficult to ensure that the power will grow, and it is not yet known whether the city will be slaughtered in order to stabilize the rear.
Thinking of this, Yang Feng suddenly felt a chill all over his body, it was all compatriots killing compatriots, maybe if there was no war, the two who killed and were killed would have already bought and sold things with each other on the street and even found a restaurant to drink.
A war changes the lives of ordinary people, and what changes is their yearning for beauty.
Gradually, there began to be a figure of Huizhou soldiers, and the closer to Python Mountain City, the more ordinary people fled, and these soldiers were probably maintaining order.
Yang Feng and An Ziyu rode towards Python Mountain City, looking so out of place.
Yang Feng said: "You say, when these people see the two of us walking towards Python Mountain City with swords on their backs, will they feel a kind of tragic feeling that the strong man will never return?"
An Ziyu poured cold water and said: "Didn't you notice that no one has the heart to pay attention to us?" Those soldiers were obviously a little stupid, and their eyes were blank. ”
Yang Feng sighed: "These people are about the same age as us, and they may have all been beaten stupid. That Cao Mengbo was also majestic when the soldiers surrounded Taiqing Mountain, and he must have lost weight several times now. ”
An Ziyu asked: "This person did not hesitate to use the army to besiege us before, and he had the potential to go up the mountain, how could he let Xuankong Zhenren be scared away in a few words?"
Yang Feng said stupidly: "Back then, it was probably Cao Mengbo who received the will of the imperial court and wanted to test the confidence of Jiuxuanmen. Xuankong Zhenren went down the mountain, neither humble nor arrogant, Cao Mengbo naturally had to find a step down by himself. That almost got me on my back. However, after all, this Cao Mengbo was born in the rivers and lakes, and taking the opportunity to go up the mountain to compete with the master is also a feast for the eyes. He and I are half acquaintances, and I know him too well. ”
An Ziyu said: "I thought he was just a villain with a fox and a fake tiger. ”
"Not villains. Yang Feng said: "This person was in Kyoto back then, he was the commander of the Earth Demon Guard, and he was also in charge of the Golden Armor Guard for a period of time, and he was very loyal to our Majesty. Usually he is approachable, but his brain is relatively straight and he doesn't know how to disobey. ”
During the conversation, a sergeant suddenly stopped Yang Feng and the others.
The sergeant asked, "Who are you?"
Only then did Yang Feng and An Ziyu pay attention to the fact that in front of them was the boundary monument of Python Mountain City, and as far as the road could see, many sergeants were transporting grain and grass from all directions to rush to the front.
Yang Feng looked up, there were many straw bales not far away, there must be a place to put grain and grass, so there were heavy guards here, blocking the road and asking.
An Ziyu was about to open his mouth to explain, but Yang Feng said: "We are lay disciples of Jiuxuanmen, and I heard that the Huizhou army is stuck in Python Mountain City, so we came to help. ”
The sergeant hesitated, looked at the guards around him, and then asked, "How do you prove your identity?"
An Ziyu took off the Xuantie Sword behind him and said, "This is the ancestral sword of my Divine Sword Sect." ”
Yang Feng made two big ones, and this An Ziyu really thought that these sergeants knew that sword. Sure enough, the sergeant was even more confused, this Jianghu martial arts is too big, one moment Jiuxuanmen and one moment Shenjian Gate, the identities of these two people are worrying.
I saw Yang Feng unhurriedly took out the token that used to pass in the general's mansion and said: "We followed the general before, and then came to Jiuxuanmen to practice martial arts, do you know this token?"
Although these sergeants may not have been to Kyoto, the token of this general's palace is very useful, and there are also general's mansions in various places, and seeing this token is no different from seeing the general of their local state capital.
This token was stolen by Yang Feng when he left Kyoto, and it was used to save his life when he encountered an accident.
As soon as this token came out, the surrounding sergeants bowed their heads and clenched their fists in front of them.
Yang Feng drove the black bully forward, An Ziyu was stunned for a while, and boredly pinned the Xuantie Sword to his back and drove the horse towards Yang Feng.
Yang Feng knew that An Ziyu had a problem again, so he said consciously: "This token is common in the army, and having this token can save a lot of trouble." ”
"Oh. An Ziyu suddenly felt bored.
Yang Feng saw that the wilderness here was open, and it was really a good place to stock up on food. But the two armies were fighting, and the stockpiling of grain here was too obvious.
The only thing that can be guessed is that the python mountain city is really steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no way to go around here, so Cao Mengbo can use this place as a granary storage place with peace of mind.
Since it is a granary storage place, it is not far from the main city.
More than a dozen four-wheeled vehicles escorting grain had just been put into operation and were heading to the front, surrounded by many officers and men.
Yang Feng said to An Ziyu to keep up with the troops in front, and let Heiba run.
An Ziyu had to follow blindly.
However, Yang Feng deliberately kept a distance from the end of this unit, An Ziyu didn't know why, Yang Feng explained: "These grains and grass are to be transported to the main city of Python Mountain. We'll be able to get there. But we must not follow too closely, lest the officers and men who escort us become hostile to us. ”
"Don't you have that military token?" An Ziyu asked.
Yang Feng was stunned for a moment, pretending to have failed in connotation, so he could only reluctantly say: "On the battlefield, only recognize the general, who cares what token you have." ”
An Ziyu was frightened by Yang Feng, feeling that what he said was quite reasonable, and nodded frequently.
