Chapter 18: Outside Fog Willow Town

It is said that there are three roads, but in fact, there are only two roads that can be taken.

The road behind the grove was the official road leading to the Southern Yan King City, and they naturally couldn't take this way back.

As for the remaining two roads, although after the turnaround, you can go to Zhongnan Mountain, but the east road is undoubtedly closer to Zhongnan Mountain.

And on this road, the mountains and mountains you pass through, which are very easy to hide, is the best choice.

The white-eyed manager chased after him from this road, and he also had this kind of worry.

As for the road to the west, it is diametrically opposed to the direction where Zhongnan Mountain is located, but after walking for more than ten miles, you will enter a place called Wuliu Town.

Not far from the town, there is a large river, and if you go by water, you can also go to Jungnam Mountain.

However, the waterway is not as difficult as the land route, and it is more difficult to travel safely.

After listening to Mo Datong's explanation, Bai Canghai pondered for a while, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the road west of the broken temple.

Mo Datong nodded silently, although this road is not the best choice, but it can avoid the white-eyed manager, which is exactly what Mo Datong wants.

For Mo Datong, the pressure on him from the White Eyebrow Manager was too great, and he really didn't have the confidence to confront him head-on.

"What's the situation? How could Guard Mo listen to this little beggar?" Seeing that Mo Datong actually agreed with Bai Canghai's proposal, the little county lord was very puzzled.

For the little county lord, she obviously believed in Mo Datong more than Bai Canghai.

After all, this is a matter of life and death, and no one can leave their fate to a stranger they have just met.

But the opinions of the two have reached an agreement, although the little county lord is puzzled, but he did not say anything to stop it, but buried this doubt in his heart, and then followed the two forward.

For Bai Canghai, there is another reason to choose this road to the west.

According to Mo Datong, the road to the east is sparsely populated, and there is no shortage of fierce beasts in the mountains and forests, which is very dangerous.

On the west side of the road, there are countless towns along the way.

As the saying goes: small hidden in the mountains, big hidden in the city.

In Bai Canghai, if the waterway is not passable, you might as well find a place to hide in the towns along the way, wait for it for ten days and half a month, and then find a way to continue moving forward when the water spirit bead and the little county lord are completely integrated.

The three of them walked on the road, and soon passed a village, where Mo Datong bought a few clothes, and after the three of them dressed up a little, they continued to move forward.

For the convenience of the road, the little county lord dressed up as a man and was dressed as a tomboy, but he also looked very handsome.

And Bai Canghai, after a simple grooming and dressing, also showed a handsome face, which seemed to be no worse than the beautiful little county lord.

In order to hide people's eyes, Mo Datong changed the names of the three of them, and the three of them immediately became the 'three brothers' who traveled together.

Mo Datong is the eldest brother, Bai Canghai is the second, and the little county lord has become the 'third brother'.

Perhaps because the pursuers had just passed, the 'three brothers' had been safe and sound all the way.

As the sky became brighter and brighter, there were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the three of them mixed in the flow of people, but they were not very conspicuous.

After walking for more than an hour, the little county lord was a little unbearable, and at Bai Canghai's suggestion, the three of them took a carriage along the way, and then came to the outside of Wuliu Town before noon.

Wuliu Town is not very big, but because there is a waterway next to it, it is a constant flow of merchants and customers, and it seems very prosperous.

The three of them got out of the carriage at the tea shed outside the town, sat in the corner of the tea shed, and kept an eye on the situation in the town while resting.

At this time, outside Wuliu Town, on the official road at the entrance of the town, the road has been blocked by more than a dozen officers and soldiers.

Merchants who wanted to enter and leave the town had to be carefully checked by the officers and soldiers.

And Yue Zhongmou, the commander of the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division that Mo Datong knew, dragged a chair, sat under a big tree on the side of the road, brushed his white beard, and closed his eyes with a yawn.

At this moment, a man wearing a black coat and covering the official mansion walked up to him and said unceremoniously: "Commander Yue, the rebel has not been caught yet, please don't slack off." ”

Hearing this, Yue Zhongmou slowly opened his eyes, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, and he pointed at the person who came and scolded: "Presumptuous, what kind of thing are you, in charge of the old man?"

"Your Majesty is angry. The person who came was not angry, but showed a smile and said: "The villain was also ordered by the white eyebrow manager to come to assist the adult to arrest the rebel, if the rebel escaped, it is really impossible to explain to the chief manager." ”

"Hmph, who are you talking about?" Why don't I know?" Yue Zhongmou sneered.

"My lord be cautious!" The person who came made a straight face, and said with a straight face: "The evidence of the king betraying the country and seeking glory side by side is conclusive, this is determined by His Majesty himself, of course, it is a great rebellion......"

Yue Zhongmou interrupted him, "Even so, the side by side king has now been ambushed, one of his orphans, a powerless female baby, what kind of rebel is it?

Even if it is a maid in the palace, it must not be let go, let alone the only daughter of the king who is side by side, Nangong Rouxiao, the county lord. The person who came retorted without giving in, and then changed his words, stretched his voice and sneered: "My lord's words, if they reach the ears of the white-eyed manager, I am afraid it will be ......."

"Are you threatening me?" Yue Zhongmou interrupted him, his eyes widened, and he pointed to the officers and soldiers on the side of the road and said: "Where did you see that I was slacking off? The general had already ordered people to block all the entrances and exits of this town, and if the rebels were here, they would inevitably be unable to escape, so how could you say that I was slack?"

"The adults may have forgotten a place, so it's up to the villain to remind you. The visitor pointed to a direction outside the town and said, "Don't you know, my lord, there is a waterway outside this Wuliu Town?"

Hearing this, Yue Zhongmou smiled and said, "It turns out that you are worried about that waterway! ”

"Why are you so sure?" the visitor wondered.

"Isn't this simple?" Yue Zhongmou said: "The waterway to Zhongnan Mountain is winding and rugged, and it is not as easy to walk as the road, if they dare to escape by boat by waterway, we can intercept it at any time, and at that time, they will be unable to escape." ”

The visitor nodded, and after a little contemplation, he shook his head and said, "Although my lord's words are reasonable, the waterway must not be guarded against, and they dare to go from the waterway if they can't keep it." Please send me some men to inspect the boats anchored along the river......"

"Look, look ......" Yue Zhongmou took his hand and said, "I don't have enough manpower here, where can I have manpower for you? You can't bear to let my old bones follow you, right? The old man is not as old as before, and after riding a horse all night, this old bone is about to fall apart, so you can pity my old bones and let me squint for a while?"

After Yue Zhongmou finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, but stretched his waist and sat back in his chair to take a nap.

"You ......" In the face of this veteran who does not enter the oil and salt, the people who came were extremely aggrieved, and they had no choice but to take their two subordinates and stride away.

Watching a few people gradually walk away, Yue Zhongmou, who was squinting, sneered, and then really closed his eyes and fell asleep on the chair under the tree.

At this time, the three people hiding in the tea shed saw all this in their eyes, and they all frowned, Mo Datong looked at Bai Canghai, and asked in a low voice: "There are officials and soldiers guarding outside the town, how can we get in?"

Bai Canghai pondered for a while, and was about to speak, but saw that in the foggy willow town, a large group of people suddenly rushed in.

Mo Datong also looked up, and saw that there were thirty or forty people coming, almost all of them were young men in their twenties, and they were all dressed as scholars with lupine scarves.

I saw that these scholars were full of energy, like the champions of the gold list parade through the streets, striding from Wuliu Town with their heads held high.

Behind these, there was another group of people, but this group of people were dressed unevenly, and there were all kinds of people, young and old.

This group of people followed closely behind the group of scholars in front, pointing and talking to each other as they walked, looking very lively.

The officers and soldiers who were patrolling at the entrance of the town naturally stopped these people who wanted to leave the town, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of this person, so a bustling quarrel began.

Yue Zhongmou, who was resting under the big tree, was also woken up, and immediately stood up angrily.

The situation outside the town naturally attracted the attention of the people inside the tea shed, and many people who loved to watch the excitement left the tea shed one after another and rushed to the front.

Most of the guests left, and the tea boss's face obviously became not very good-looking, and he glanced at the people who were arguing, and subconsciously whispered a few words in his mouth.

Mo Datong observed the words and guessed what the tea boss might know, so he called him over to ask what was going on.

"They are all poor scholars, but they just went to the river to bring humiliation on themselves. The tea boss seemed reluctant to say more, but he simply mentioned it and turned away.

"Humiliation?" Mo Datong naturally couldn't let him go easily, took out a tael of silver and quietly stuffed it into the tea boss's hand, and continued to ask: "Please also ask the store to solve my doubts......"

After getting the silver, the tea boss suddenly became enthusiastic, and said with a smile on his face: "Have you ever heard of the 'Baiyue Flower Boat'?"

"Could it be the Hundred Flowers Boat of the Baiyue Kingdom?"

"Exactly. Seeing that Mo Datong seemed to have heard of it, the tea boss was afraid that he would return the silver, so he hurriedly explained in detail: "At this time of year, the Baihua boat of Baiyue Kingdom will come to our Nanyan Country to select Ruyi Langjun for the girls on the Baihua boat. Now the Hundred Flowers Boat has been outside Wuliu Town for three days, and a poetry meeting will be held every day, as long as the talents in the town can make a poem that satisfies the women on the boat, they can board the ship and hold hands with the woman they like. ”

The tea boss seemed to be interested, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, "Counting, today is the last day of this poetry meeting, if you are interested, you can go and give it a try." I look at Gongzi's dignified appearance, much stronger than those sour talents who have no power to tie the chicken, if Gongzi goes, he will definitely be able to win the hearts of the girls on the Hundred Flowers Boat......"
