Chapter 396 Liaocheng Experience
Liaocheng County, west of Dongshan Province, was also the junction of Qi and Zhao.
Lin Ze and his entourage had just stepped into the boundary of Liaocheng County, and what appeared in front of Lin Ze was a scene of war.
On the road, there are only people fleeing with the old and the young, dragging their families and mouths, looking hurried, as if they are hiding from a flood and fierce beasts.
Without exception, these fleeing civilians will have more or less rudimentary weapons in their hands, and they will flee in groups instead of one family.
Lin Ze, who hid his face under the wide hat, pointed to a place in front of him, and instructed Wu Fan beside him: "Go and stop those carriages, it should be a big family in Liaocheng County, maybe you know some news of the rebellion." ”
Wu Fan looked in the direction pointed by Lin Ze, it was a convoy composed of six carriages and dozens of knights, which was particularly conspicuous among the many people who used ox carts to pull people.
Wu Fan immediately nodded, beckoned two of his subordinates, and rode towards the convoy.
The arrival of Wu Fan and the three quickly attracted the attention of the team.
A middle-aged man, who was probably one of the leaders of the convoy, hurriedly stopped in front of Wu Fan with a few guards, and said with a wary face: "Your Excellency stops, this is a private convoy, and outsiders are not accepted, and I hope Your Excellency will not cause us to misunderstand." ”
Wu Fan was speechless for a while, and the breath of the Sipin Realm flowed slightly, until the middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and then he said: "Please tell your master that my lord wants to ask a few words, and let him wait with me for a while." ”
As he spoke, he pointed not far away, stayed on the hillside, and looked at Lin Ze and the others in all directions.
The middle-aged man's face turned dark when he heard this, and he said angrily: "I don't know what it is, although I don't know who your family is, but your trick is a bright spot, this is the Tian family's convoy, not something that can be bullied." ”
Wu Fan was very calm, and said indifferently: "Bullying or not humiliating, it's not up to you to have the final say, I just want to tell you, my family is noble, and the Tian family may not be in your eyes, if you are really a member of the Tian family, don't easily bring trouble to the family." Let's go and inform your master. If something is wrong, my family is generous, and I may not blame you, I am afraid that your master will not be able to spare you. ”
Wu Fan's plain and majestic words, while making the middle-aged man full of anger, he was also jealous, if it was really as the person in front of him said, the other party came from a force that the Tian family didn't care about, and it was indeed not something he could easily offend.
However, if you want to meet the head of the family, I am afraid that this sentence is far from enough.
The middle-aged man was about to open his mouth to refuse, when the door of a stalled carriage behind him was opened, and a middle-aged and majestic man in a gorgeous costume stood on the carriage and scolded: "Tian Fang, what happened? Why did you stop?"
The middle-aged man known as Tian Fang hurriedly turned around and replied: "Qiqi family master, there is someone blocking the road in front of you, saying that an adult wants to see you, and the small one is not effective in driving you away, and I ask the family master to forgive me." ”
The man in Chinese clothes frowned and said: "Where did the mud legs come from, warn them, if they don't leave, they will all be killed, and they will be thrown to the side of the road, anyway, if someone rebels, it is nothing to kill a few people." ”
Tian Fang said helplessly: "The other party has three fourth-grade martial artists, and the younger one is one, I'm afraid there is no way to do it." ”
When the man in Chinese clothes heard this, he jumped and fell in front of Wu Fan and the others, and said with a gloomy face: "A few four-grade people, dare to be presumptuous in front of the Tian family?
Between the words, the momentum of the five grades of martial arts unscrupulously pressed towards Wu Fan and the others, and then shouted coldly: "Say, who sent you?"
Wu Fan turned a blind eye to the oncoming pressure, turned slightly sideways and pointed to the direction of the small hill where Lin Ze and the others were staying, and said, "My family is waiting for you there, if you want to know, why don't you ask yourself?"
The man in Chinese clothes followed Wu Fan's guidance and found that there were more than a dozen horsemen standing on the hillside not far away, except for the first five people, who couldn't see the depth, the others were all four-grade realms, and he was shocked, and glanced at Wu Fan's expression that seemed to be smiling, and snorted coldly: "Pretend to be a ghost." ”
Wu Fan said without being arrogant or humble: "Whether it is pretending to be a ghost or not, Your Excellency will know when you go over and see it." By the way, Your Excellency is a noble member of the Tian family of the Qidi Martial Arts Family at a glance, so you won't be afraid, right?"
The man's face in the Chinese costume was stunned, and he was suddenly told what was on his mind, his face was a little unbearable, and he said angrily: "Master, I want to see what is sacred today?" and then beckoned behind him: "How about the old fisherman go with me to see it?"
As soon as the voice fell, an old figure jumped out of a carriage and landed firmly behind the man in Chinese clothes, and the hoarse voice replied: "Follow the order of the fourth master." ”
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Wu Fan smiled slightly and said, "Your Excellency, please." ”
The man in Chinese clothes took the "old fisherman" and strode towards the small hillside, not that he was really stupid enough to be provoked by Wu Fan, so he ran over stupidly, but in his own convoy, he and the old fisherman were two martial artists of the five-grade realm, if the other party was really strong and the person who came was not good, even if he didn't go, I am afraid it would be difficult to be spared, it was better to be obedient and see if there was a turnaround, after all, the Tian family still had some prestige.
In a martial arts family, the education of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages since he was a child told him that in the face of the strong, sometimes obedience can live longer than resistance.
Seeing that Wu Fan brought a middle school and an old man, Lin Ze didn't even bother to ask, and went straight to the point and asked: "You and others fled from Liaocheng County, what is the current situation in Liaocheng County?" ”
The young man's voice What kind of kid is this? The man in Chinese clothes looked up at Lin Ze, trying to see Lin Ze's origin, and said while carefully reporting his history: "Qi Di Tian Jia Tian Guang, I don't know who Your Excellency is?"
No wonder the people of the Tian family can travel with the escort carriage.
Lin Ze replied indifferently: "You don't need to know the origin of this seat, you just need to tell this seat the latest situation in Liaocheng County, why these people have fled." After that, you can go, and this seat will not embarrass you. ”
An angry look appeared on Tian Guang's face: "My Tian family ......"
Lin Ze interrupted coldly: "I don't want to hear the story of your Tian family. After speaking, the momentum of the six products was put away, and Tian Guang was forced to take two steps back.
Tian Guang's face was pale, no wonder he had the confidence not to care about the Tian family, being able to cultivate such a young six-rank martial artist was indeed not comparable to the Tian family today.
In addition to the dying, Tian Guang felt endless humiliation in his heart, and secretly hated himself: If the Tian family is still the Qi royal family, how can it be put in the eyes of the Tian family, and how dare Zhu Ziyan deceive me like this?
The family is a family after all, Tian Guang quickly hid his emotions, and said with a wry smile on his face: "Lu Goujian gathered a crowd to rebel and captured Liaocheng County, the governor of Liaocheng County, the rangers of Qi and Zhao responded one after another, and now the entire Liaocheng County is occupied by the traitorous party, and these people do not want to suffer from the military disaster, so they will naturally flee." ”
Lin Ze frowned and said, "The traitorous people?"
Tian Guang waved his hand again and again: "That's not true, those rebellious rangers, most of them are locals, how can they attack their own villagers, basically they are aimed at helping the government manage the local family, the people are quite safe, at most they will be robbed of some food, or come over to raise a relative." ”
Lin Ze rolled his eyes, was robbed of money and forcibly married, is it safe? The family's perspective on the problem is really different from that of ordinary people.
"As far as I know, your Tian family is also a family that does things for the government, and there are many people in the family who serve in the local government, so can the rebels [31 update fast] let you go?"
An unnatural look flashed on Tian Guang's face and said: "After hearing that someone had rebelled, I immediately fled from Liaocheng, so I survived." ”
The corners of Lin Ze's mouth sneered: "Then why did the people flee?"
Tian Guang sighed and said: "Don't look at the rebels now, but sooner or later they will attract the Great Qin army to quell the rebellion, and it is only a matter of time before they are defeated. ”
Lin Ze frowned slightly and said, "It's been almost a month, hasn't the government put down the rebellion?"
Tian Guang glanced at Lin Ze deeply, and replied: "The governor of Dongshan Province has organized a large army to quell the rebellion, but he has returned with a miserable defeat, and it is estimated that this will have been written to Chang'an to send a large army to quell the rebellion." ”
"As for Beihe Province, although it is on the edge of Liaocheng County, Liaocheng County is not in Beihe, and the governor of Beihe will naturally not overstep his authority and send troops to quell the rebellion. ”
Counterinsurgency failed?
The corners of Lin Ze's mouth flashed with a sneer, it is the Governor's Mansion with the regular army in his hand, and he will fail to deal with a group of rangers, this rebellion should be the calculation of someone with a heart.
It's almost the same as throwing stones to ask for directions.
Lin Ze asked some other questions, such as how strong Lu Goujian was, how many masters he had, and so on.
After asking, Lin Ze said indifferently to Tian Guang: "It's troublesome for the two of you, let's take care of it." ”
Tian Guang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but said quietly: "Then I will retire in the next place." After saying that, he slowly retreated.
After walking a few steps, seeing that Lin Ze didn't make a move, Tian Guang suddenly turned around and said, "If Your Excellency wants to enter the city, it is best to leave in batches, after all, Your Excellency and these people are standing together, and they are too conspicuous." ”
Lin Ze looked at Tian Guang interestingly and said, "Can you tell that this seat wants to enter the city?"
Tian Guang said solemnly: "If Your Excellency doesn't want to enter the city, why do you have to ask so many things? ”
After speaking, Tian Guang arched his hand and left.
Lin Ze looked at Tian Guang's departing back, thoughtful.
