Chapter 30: Lizheng
The subordinates brought the carriage and horses, but Guan Yuan thought that the carriage was too slow, so he only let everyone ride the horses.
In this regard, Wu Zhen and Cui Xiu have no opinions.
Wu Zhen's family background is naturally good at horseback riding, and Cui Xiu has also had horseback riding experience on the way back from Fucheng, coupled with the strong coordination of his body now, even if he rides a fast horse, it is not a big problem.
Guan Yuan didn't like to delay time, so he didn't give any more orders, greeted him, beat his horse and left.
Cui Xiu and the two naturally followed with horses.
In a short time, the three of them were already outside the city.
Just when Cui Xiu and Wu Zhen thought they were going to speed up, two knights suddenly came across the official road outside the city.
"Head!"
The two knights came to the front and glanced at Cui Xiu and the others, both of whom found Guan Yuan.
"I've bothered the two brothers this time, and when this matter is settled, I will invite the two brothers to drink again. ”
After some greetings, Cui Xiu learned that the identities of the two were originally under Guan Yuan, and they were also from Yangsi.
In fact, if it weren't for Guan Yuan's mention, he really wouldn't have seen it, because these two people were dressed more like ordinary knights, and they didn't have much of the aura of official-faced characters.
"Let's go, try to get to your destination before dark. ”
"Drive!"
Guan Yuan gave an order, everyone stopped talking, rode their horses, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
......
In the afternoon, Shen Shi.
Although it was still bright, Liujia Village was quiet, and there was no sound of chickens and dogs barking in the past.
In such a strange situation, there was also a trace of inexplicable solemnity in the air.
"Head, something is wrong, isn't that wild god aware that I'm coming today?"
On a hill not far from Liujia Village, Cui Xiu and the five people got off their horses and watched.
One of Guan Yuan's subordinates couldn't help but guess when he saw this meeting.
Guan Yuan frowned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "No, such a wilderness god, where does he have that ability, he can really do it, and he won't be in this place." ”
As soon as he raised his hand, Guan Yuan didn't let everyone guess anymore, turned to look at Wu Yuan, and said, "Wu Gongzi, if you want to make less trouble, it's up to you now." ”
"What do you command?"
Wu Zhen was slightly stunned when he heard Guan Yuan's words, but he had already prepared in his heart, and he also adapted.
"If you want that wild god to appear, I'm not suitable to appear, I need you to go into the village and lure the wild god out. ”
Thinking of what Guan Yuan had said before, although he was still a little worried, Wu Yuan still nodded in response.
"Wu Gongzi, don't worry, Guan Mou will not let you have an accident, this time I will let people enter the village with you, and I can also protect your life. ”
Speaking of this, Guan Yuan thought for a while, turned his head to look at Cui Xiu, and said, "Cui Gongzi should also go along, maybe there is some help." ”
Guan Yuan didn't care about Cui Xiu's kung fu, but he just thought about the short stick and felt that Cui Xiu might also have something to do with the wild gods.
Cui Xiu didn't expect Guan Yuan to also nod himself, and he couldn't help but be stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded in response.
"Brother Zhao, I'll take a trip. ”
"Yes. ”
Guan Yuan then ordered another subordinate to follow.
Both of his subordinates were relatively tall and strong men, and they each carried a big burden, and they didn't know what to pack.
The three of them were instructed, got on their horses and prepared to go down the mountain to Liujia Village.
Just as he was about to act, Guan Yuan suddenly threw an object to Wu Yuan.
Wu Zhen picked it up and looked at it, but he didn't know it.
When Cui Xiu saw it, her eyes shrank.
The thing in Wu Zhen's hand, he naturally recognized, was the weird short stick.
"This thing is what the wild god wants, you take it on your body, if he senses the breath, even if he is careful, he will show up. ”
When Wu Zhen heard this, he also understood, nodded, and took it into his arms.
At this point, the three of them did not delay any longer and went down the mountain.
......
The three of them were side by side, Cui Xiu and the Zhao brothers were on both sides, and Wu Zhen was protected in the middle.
After a while, several people came to the entrance of Liujia Village.
Compared to what Cui Xiu saw when he first passed by this place, the entrance of the village seemed much more empty, as if something had happened around him, a little messy, and it had not yet recovered.
"Wu Gongzi, be careful. ”
Before entering the village, the Zhao brother reminded him, obviously feeling that something was wrong.
Wu Zhen's face was also more serious, and he nodded.
The three of them hit their horses and entered the village.
"What happened here? Could it be that the wild god did something evil?"
After entering the village, it was still silent, Cui Xiu was a little curious, and couldn't help but ask.
I don't want Wu Zhen to give an answer.
"Maybe, but it may have something to do with the soldiers who saved me......"
Wu Zhen naturally didn't know what the real situation was, but after Wu Xiu went back to report the news that day, the county government had sent someone to rescue him, and Wu Zhen thought that maybe the changes here had something to do with this matter.
Could it be that he was caught?
At that time, his mind was pulled by the god, and he didn't pay attention to the changes in Liujia Village, let alone care what those soldiers did, and now he is just guessing.
After walking for a while, the three dismounted, slowed down and raised their vigilance.
After all, the situation in the village is obviously not right, and it is difficult to say what will happen.
"Several, my lord is invited!"
Just when the three of them couldn't see half of the villagers' shadows everywhere, a faint voice sounded, which instantly attracted the attention of the three people.
"Lizheng?"
The three of them turned their heads to look, Cui Xiu and Wu Zhen both recognized the identity of the owner of the voice, that old look, not which one is the Lizheng in Liujia Village?
It's just that this Lizheng looks a little different now, but Cui Xiu and Wu Zhen are a little indescribable.
The person is still the same person, it's just ......
"Two, this old gentleman is afraid that he is no longer human. ”
At this moment, the Zhao brother suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, Cui Xiu and Wu Zhen were both nervous in their hearts.
"Wu Gongzi, do you still know the old decay? My lord and the son have business first, and now that the son is back, presumably the matter entrusted by the master has already been accounted for, so the lord ordered me to invite a few people into the house to talk about it. ”
Li Zheng smiled, stiff with a pale face, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and a mouthful of yellow teeth leaked out.
Seeing this, the three of them looked at each other and lowered the reins in their hands at the same time.
Cui Xiu and the Zhao brothers moved a few steps in the direction of Wu Zhen.
"I'm leading the way. ”
There were two people beside him, and then thinking of Guan Yuan behind him, Wu Zhen also calmed down at this time and nodded at Li Zheng.
Li Zheng heard the words and bowed slightly.
Then he leaned on crutches and turned to lead the way.
The three followed, deliberately controlling the distance.
After a while, the three of them followed Li Zheng and came to an ancestral hall.
The place where the ancestral hall is located is very strange, it is actually sitting on the mountain, and there is a deep valley behind it, and all sides are blocked by trees, but I am afraid that it is noon, and it is difficult to have any sunlight to shine in.
In this way, Cui Xiu and the three of them inevitably felt a little cold.
"Three, please come in with me. ”
When he arrived at the ancestral hall, Li Zheng turned his head and invited again.
Seeing this, Wu Zhen hesitated a little more, and couldn't help but look at Cui Xiu and the others beside him.
