Chapter 269: Encounter

(I have something to do earlier today, please subscribe!)

There is no sunshine today, and the sun is going to be fast. It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was already dark.

The north wind is like a knife, and one person and one rider walk in the wind, and the figure is sluggish.

Fenglin County is not easy to enter, that group of soldiers is nothing, but unless Chen Tang kills and breaks in. But in that case, what's the point of going in?

Fill the city with enemies, and then slaughter the city?

Killing is the simplest and crudest way to solve the problem, but it is not the most effective.

So Chen Tang chose to leave on horseback and ran for dozens of miles, looking for a place to spend the night.

Along the way, he came across villages that were ruined, but he did not want to go there. Somehow, at this time, Chen Tang would rather sleep in the wilderness than go to those villages.

The weather is getting more and more gloomy, and it doesn't take long for scattered snowflakes to fall. It was snowing, and there was cold raindrops in it. It looks like it's going to get bigger and bigger.

Rain and snow weather is the most annoying, people are very sad outside, and they must find a place to shelter from rain and snow as soon as possible......

It's just that in a hurry, it's not easy to find a house, and it's not easy to find a mountain temple.

Looking around, Chen Tang made a discovery, and immediately urged the rouge horse to run over.

It was a post pavilion, seven or eight feet high, with three wooden stakes the thickness of a bowl, on which a dome was erected and covered with thick thatch.

In the country of Yin, above the official road, every distance. Or dozens of miles, or hundreds of miles, such a post pavilion will be built on the side of the road for people to rest. In some popular places, on the side of the post pavilion, there are often sheds such as tea shops and restaurants to sell food.

But at the moment, there is only a lonely post pavilion, about four or five square meters in size. The place is not big, but the victory is that the structure is complete, there is no collapse, and it is just to take shelter from the snow inside.

After entering the pavilion, Chen Tang let the rouge horse stop inside and swept out by himself. After a while, he came back with a large bundle of dead wood.

He had decided to spend the night here tonight, it was freezing cold, and he needed to make a fire to keep warm.

He set up the timber, took out the flint, pulled a handful of thatch as a guide, and soon started a fire, and the hunt began to burn.

Then Chen Tang took out a small pot from the book, took the water bag from the horse's back, poured out the water, and put it on the fire to burn.

Tonight's dinner is cooking cakes with boiling water, and some dried meat.

With the rain and snow, the temperature dropped dramatically. Chen Tang thought about it, and simply put the coat and hat he was carrying on his body, which was equivalent to covering the quilt.

This set of robes and hats, workmanship and materials, are extremely sophisticated, can be waterproof and cold, it is really a must-have for going out in the middle of winter.

When I left Nanfu County, I walked in a hurry and didn't take much luggage with me. Many things were replenished on the way.

When the water is boiling, bring it down and take out the pancakes.

These cooking cakes are made of fine noodles, each one is thick and wide, enough to have a small half catty, and ordinary people are full when they eat one.

However, Jiang Wei was thoughtful, and did not send money to Chen Tang to get off the boat, but chose to send food. At such a time, it is really favorable.

When Chen Tang was eating cakes, he inexplicably remembered the allusion of Wu Dalang selling cakes.

The rain and snow were getting heavier and heavier, and it was already pitch black outside, and there was no ghost to be seen. In the cold season, people go out is scarce, and many families basically hide at home for the winter. Not to mention that the current world is chaotic and everything is broken.

At this moment, the world is lonely, Chen Tang's heart is empty, and there are no other distracting thoughts.

"Yu!"

Rouge suddenly called out.

Chen Tang slowly chewed the cooking cake and looked up.

Sure enough, after a minute or two, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, rushing towards this direction.

Someone's coming!

Chen Tang listened intently, and heard that there were not many horses' hooves, about two horses.

"Yu!"

It didn't take long for the neighing of horses outside, and then someone spoke loudly:

"Second Brother Mo, there is a post pavilion in front of you, and there is firelight, let's go there and hide. ”

"Good. ”

A deep voice replied.

Gotta get it!

The two riders ran to the edge of the post pavilion, and the two riders turned over and dismounted, carrying two clouds of wind and snow, and walked into the post pavilion.

The space of the pavilion is not large, and Chen Tang and Rouge Horse are in it, which seems reluctant. Now two more people are squeezed in, and they are embarrassed and quite cramped.

Both riders, both dressed in robes, came in and removed their hats and showed their faces. One is upright with sharp eyes, while the other has a Taoist bun and three short beards, but he is dressed as a Taoist priest. His face looked a little sallow.

After they came in, their eyes invariably fell on Chen Tang and they couldn't help but look at it.

After looking at it for a while, the man arched his hand and said, "The wind and snow are all over the way, meet with friends, and borrow the fire to roast." ”

Chen Tang said indifferently: "This post pavilion is not my family's place, and the two of them are at their own convenience." ”

"Hehe, then thank you. ”

The man smiled, and his gaze turned to the rouge horse. Two boxes that fell on horseback, to be exact. Then he said: "The post pavilion is a place for people to rest, why don't you lead your horse outside?"

Chen Tang replied: "I immediately carried my luggage, and there was pen and ink in the study, but I was afraid that I would be wet by the rain and snow." ”

The man said: "It's okay, just unload it, I'll help you move it down." ”

As he spoke, he took a step over, and reached out to get the box without saying a word.

"Yu!"

The rouge horse is alert, and one twists around, trying to avoid it. However, in a narrow place, it is not easy to move, and the other party's technique is quite exquisite, grabbing a box at once and tearing it vigorously.

Cracked, the box was scratched and cracked, and some gold and silver jewels were suddenly revealed, shining in the light of the fire.

Together, there are also the eyes of the man and the Taoist priest.

Chen Tang Huoran stood up and shouted, "What are you going to do?"

The man sneered: "I want to ask, what are you going to do with so much belongings?" Take down the hat and let me see." There are also road guide documents, which must also be taken out together to verify the identity. ”

Chen Tang asked, "Why?"

"Just with my token!"

As he spoke, the man raised his hand and took out a sign: "I am Xu Wei, the captain of the Nine Gates, and this one is my partner Mo Shaochun Mo Daoren." We came to Fenglin County to work, passing by here, and saw you sneaky and suspicious, to check your identity. Without further ado, take out the road guide papers, and open the box, I doubt very much that what you are carrying is stolen goods. ”

Unexpectedly, he encountered two captains with nine doors here, and when the other party entered the post pavilion, Chen Tang felt that he would be in trouble, but he didn't expect them to show it so impatiently. However, it is not surprising that thinking about the style of the Nine Doors, which has always been domineering and domineering.

Chen Tang held the hilt of the sword in his hand: "The two of them are impostors?"

Xu Wei laughed: "Good thief, dare to quibble when the matter comes." Let's take you down, and torture you to see which one of the ocean's thieves is wanted!"

In the laughter, his arms shook, his hands formed claws, and he grabbed it.
