At noon the next day, shortly after lunch, Jiang Wei came to inform him that the merchant ship would soon arrive at the Qinzhou wharf.

This place should be called "Fenglindu", after getting off the boat and landing on the shore, it will officially enter the boundary of Qinzhou.

Since there was no map, Chen Tang did not know how long it would be from Fenglindu to Gaocheng, and how to get there.

All of these need to be inquired about after going ashore.

Chen Tang packed up his things, carried the book on his back, and then hung the two boxes on the back of the rouge horse. If a person rides on it again, it means that all the weight is pressed on it. Fortunately, there is this horse demon, otherwise, it would be much more troublesome.

The third uncle of the old man, Jiang Wei and others all came to say goodbye. Jiang Wei said: "Gongzi Chen, Qinzhou has been in turmoil for several months, and I heard that the major county governments are not resting. There are many thieves and homeless people, so you have to take care of yourself when you go up. ”

"Thank you. ”

Chen Tang gave up his hand, this Jiang boat owner is okay in his own right, not the kind of traitor. In life, I don't know how many people I have to meet and face, and when I turn around, most of them will become strangers.

Fenglindu is not the kind of big wharf, and merchant ships cannot fully dock, so they have to lay a large wooden plank on it, which is used as a bridge for people to go down.

Chen Tang led the horse and stepped on the plank. When you are down-to-earth, turn around and wave your hand at the merchant ship.

Jiang Wei ordered someone to pull out the plank, set sail, and continued to move forward.

Chen Tang swept his eyes and looked at the ferry.

It can be seen that this place used to have some scenery and prosperity, but now it looks chaotic, as if it has just experienced a war, and many places, there are traces of destruction, and there are signs of fire.

There are not many people on the ferry, three or three. When the merchant ships came before, they attracted their attention and gathered together.

Most of these people were ragged, coolies looking for work on the docks. When they saw that they had to come down alone, they all showed disappointed expressions and began to disperse. There were also some people staring at Chen Tang, and in their eyes, they couldn't help but flash some kind of vague light.

Chen Tang turned over and got on his horse, deliberately revealing the broken jade sword at his waist. He's not afraid of trouble, but it's best if he doesn't cause trouble. Carrying a sword with you can at least discourage many people.

Sure enough, seeing the long sword, some of the remaining people had also begun to leave.

Riding a horse through the wide but potholed streets, slightly bumpy, Chen Tang looked around, mentally assessing the appearance of this place. As Jiang Wei said, the situation in Qinzhou is definitely much more chaotic than Ningzhou.

He couldn't help but exhale, and thought to himself: I'm afraid that this trip won't be peaceful......

After walking for a while, he saw a simple restaurant in front of him, so he went over, turned over and fell off the horse, hugged his fist, and asked a gray-haired old man sitting at the door: "This old man is invited, do you know how to go to Gaocheng?"

"Gaocheng? I don't know. ”

The old man replied lazily.

Chen Tang said: "Thank you." ”

He was not disappointed that he did not inquire about the path. The huge state area, more than a dozen county capitals, are not a short distance away from each other, and for most people who have never been far away in their lives, they are unknown if they are separated from their hometown. Asking for directions is almost the same as asking for blindness.

Chen Tang didn't ask anyone else, and after getting on the horse, his legs were clamped, and the rouge horse trotted up. He didn't want to stay at this ferry again, such a place is the most complicated, three-religion and nine-stream, hiding filth and dirt. When outsiders come here, it is most likely to attract people to covet and peep. It's better to leave first, find the nearby city, and then make plans.

Gotta get it!

The rouge horse ran faster and faster, although the weight was not light, and the road was difficult, but these did not seem to have much effect on it, as if walking on the ground, the four hooves were like the wind, and after a while they ran out of Fenglindu.

"His grandmother's, this horse is running so fast!"

"Huhu, I can't catch up!"

A large group of men rushed out in a hurry, dressed in disheveled clothes, each with a weapon in his hand, some with axes, some with kitchen knives, and some with sticks and hoes. But when he chased him out, he could only watch one person ride away, and he couldn't even eat the dust. One by one, they were stupid and unwilling.

Chen Tang was alone, with two boxes, whether it was luggage or belongings, they were all fat sheep.

Everyone thought that the horse was carrying heavy loads and could not walk fast enough to be easily stopped, but when they thought that the horse was running, it was like a gust of wind. After a while, he ran away. He cursed a few words and returned to the ferry, where he continued to wait for new prey to appear.

said that Chen Tang galloped and left quickly. He didn't know the path, so he just ran along the official road.

Qinzhou has been chaotic, the environment is vicious, and the order has collapsed, so I don't know if the passes along the way are still checking the road citation documents.

He was on the boat and had a full lunch. In the book, there was also a large bag of cooking cakes, but Jiang Wei specially asked someone to make it and gave it to Chen Tang, which was a lot of dry food, enough to support it for several days.

The climate in Qinzhou is much colder than that in Ningzhou, and the north wind is whistling and blowing on the face, which is quite painful.

Chen Tang is wearing a painted skin, which is equivalent to a mask, and he can still keep out the cold at this time.

Along the way, most of the scenes are a scene of ruin, and occasionally the village houses that appear are also lifeless, difficult to find, and you can't hear the chirping of chickens and dogs. And many fields are even more deserted, and it is difficult to see much green.

I don't know if it was because of the war and therefore it was ruined, or because it was a cold winter, and the crops were difficult to grow.

After leaving Fenglindu, Chen Tang specially asked the rouge horse to slow down and wait and see. As far as the eye can see, I am secretly frightened. I thought to myself: With such a look, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a place to buy food for the two boxes of treasures I carry......

The value of things will change depending on the environment. In troubled times, houses, fields, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., are not worth a bite to eat. This principle is like people in the desert and their daughters buy water.

On both sides of the official road, some long pavilions have also been dilapidated, even collapsed, and have gone up to the role because they cannot be repaired and maintained.

After walking for more than an hour, there was a road monument on the road in front of me, on which three big characters were written "Fenglin County".

It's finally time to come to the county seat.

Chen Tang was in high spirits and rode over. After walking for more than a quarter of an hour, a castle came into view. On the head of the city, there were flags fluttering.

"This time, you can find an inn to rest for a while, and by the way, find someone to ask for directions. ”

Chen Tang muttered.

However, before he could approach the city gate, he heard a whirring cry. But when he saw a large group of soldiers guarding the city gate, whether they were out of the city or entering the city, they all searched it vigorously. The men searched their bodies, and the women also searched their bodies, and their big hands touched them directly, which frightened some women into screaming. You have to untie and rummage through all the baggage you carry......

When Chen Tang saw it, he sighed, turned his horse's head and left.

Not wanting to be seen by some sharp-eyed soldiers, he shouted: "The Wuna rider is gone!"

"The fugitive is gone!"

The soldiers shouted that they wanted to catch up, but where could they catch up?

One person and one ride, running away early without a trace.

The north wind is like a knife, and it will be dusk again.
