The next day, they finally walked peacefully for a day, no one came to disturb them, and the two of them galloped all the way with peace of mind. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Except for a few times to let the horse rest in the middle, he didn't even make a stop, and he didn't even waste much time for lunch.

In the evening, they finally entered the territory of Huai'an Mansion, and the two decided to rest for the night in the small town called Haizhou in front of them. It should be only more than 200 miles away from the destination, and it will be there the day after tomorrow at most. The thrill and excitement of the road will soon pass, so let's go here first to suppress the thrill before setting off.

The city of Haizhou is dilapidated, and there are traces of war in many places, and in some places even the black ruins that have been burned have not been treated and covered.

Liu Ping'an is a little puzzled, this era can definitely be said to be in the prosperous era, since the reform of Emperor Jianwen, although it cannot be said that everyone is well-off, but the displacement of the people and the rebellion of the war have indeed been greatly reduced, and most families as long as they must work hard, it is absolutely no problem to eat well.

So why is there such chaos in Haizhou City? Is it a natural disaster?

Liu Ping'an, who couldn't figure out the reason, naturally asked Bai Xiaosheng beside him, Ye Taohua ran all over the rivers and lakes, and he naturally knew a lot of things he had seen.

Ye Taohua only replied with two words: "Wakou." ”

Historically, the Ming Dynasty suffered from the harm of the Japanese Invaders, since Zhu Yuanzhang has been subjected to the burning and robbery of the Japanese Invaders, the people on the southeast coast have been bullied, Zhu Yuanzhang has sent envoys to Fusang several times to eliminate the rebellion of the Japanese Invaders, but it has not worked.

After Emperor Jianwen succeeded to the throne, he spent a huge amount of money to strengthen the army construction in the coastal areas, and issued a letter to the Ministry of Culture and Military Affairs saying that "if you don't get the blood of the Japanese invaders, you can't be a military general", and opened up the customs trade widely, and gradually prevented the Japanese invaders, and almost no major losses were caused to the Japanese in the past few decades. However, the successors of Emperor Jianwen did not adhere to this policy of governing the Japanese, but focused on the Tatars and Warats in the north. The garrisons on the southeast coast also slowly began to eat empty salaries.

Although the customs trade has been opened, but at this time it coincided with the war and turmoil of Fusang, extremely jealous of the Ming Dynasty's national wealth and peace and security, trade has been unable to meet their ambitions, slowly some ambitious people organized a small army to the Ming Dynasty to rob, which is not a strong martial arts warrior of Fusang. One of the most powerful forces actually opened a sect on an island in the East China Sea, directly using Fusang as the name, and absorbed a large number of Fusang warriors who came to the Ming Dynasty to rob, known as the Fuso faction.

In later generations, Liu Ping'an also heard of the Rebellion, but most of the time it was just a small story, and at most he scolded angrily when he listened to it. At this moment, seeing the ruins of Haizhou City, many people who were displaced and lived directly on the street were extremely angry.

It's a pity that he can't do anything in the face of all this, he doesn't even have silver, only a body of martial arts, at most he can stab a few more knives when he encounters a wolf.

However, although Haizhou City is a bit dilapidated, it seems that it has been some time since the last Japanese rebellion, but the city construction has not yet kept up. The crowd on the road was walking leisurely in twos and threes, without panic or grief. Many teahouses and restaurants are operating normally, and business seems to be doing well.

The two first found an inn to pack up and store the horses, parcels and other things, and then came out to find a place to eat in the night. For two days in a row, the meal was very troublesome, either assassinated or blocked, and An Wen was just eating a few buns on horseback today, and he couldn't be disadvantaged by saying anything at dinner.

Ye Taohua led Liu Ping'an straight to the largest restaurant. The name of the restaurant is directly called Haizhou Restaurant, which is the only intact building in this ruined wall, and I don't know if it was quickly restored in the later period or the Japanese did not dare to infringe on it at all.

There weren't a few people sitting in the hall on the first floor, so the two of them casually found a table to sit down. was about to call Xiao Er to come over and order, but when he suddenly saw two people coming down from the second floor, Liu Ping'an hurriedly beckoned Ye Taohua to turn his back and want to dodge a little.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the two of them walked over directly.

One person was dressed in white, his face was pale and there seemed to be no trace of blood, it was the white Wuchang Xie Bi'an who he had seen that night. The other was dressed in black, with thick hair and a shawl down, and the two stood together, knowing that it must be black impermanence and helpless.

Black and white impermanence walked straight towards Liu Ping'an's table and the two, it didn't look like they had just come over after seeing the two.

Sure enough, I only heard Xie Bi'an say coldly: "No need to hide, we have been waiting here for a long time." ”

Liu Ping'an and Ye Taohua raised their heads at this time. Last time, a white impermanence made the three of them turn on their backs, and this time they actually added a black impermanence of equal weight, it seems that this level is sad.

Liu Ping'an's head was quickly thinking of a way, but he said with a smile on his face: "The two seniors don't need to be so polite, how can the kid He De let the two seniors wait?

"Hand over something, and then cut off your own palm and you can be spared. Xie Bi'an really haunted the palm of his left hand that he had injured that night.

Ye Taohua stared at the two and said: "The two of them have always acted spontaneously, although they are not upright gentlemen, but the stroke evaluation in my six doors record is not bad, this time they must be enemies with my six doors?"

Xie Bi'an stared at her fiercely, his cold eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, Ye Taohua was the culprit who stabbed his left palm with a sword that night. Hei Wuchang Fan Wusu suddenly said: "We respect you Hidden Sword Villa, you can leave at any time this time, but he must stay." ”

Although Xie Bi'an did not speak, he also acquiesced to his statement, the two of them were invited to rob Liu Ping'an of the booklet on his body, if he offended the six gates of the supervision of the rivers and lakes and the Tibetan Sword Villa, the head of the four major villas, for the sake of the eight hundred taels of silver, it would be worth the loss.

Ye Taohua obviously knows this, after all, her background is too strong, and this identity is not the first time to take advantage of it. actually threatened: "The two of us will either go together or stay together." ”

Liu Ping'an's heart was moved, but he knew that Ye Taohua could only anger the two people in front of him when he said this, and it was already the limit that the other party could agree to let one go. So he reached out and grabbed Ye Taohua's hand and said, "You go, I'm fine, it's just a big deal to lose one hand, it's better than both of them planting here." When we meet, it's none of your business. ”

Ye Taohua's hand was grabbed by Liu Ping'an, but he didn't get angry, but also held it tightly and said: "Don't say it, we have been sharing weal and woe for so many days, I must not leave you alone." ”

Xie Bi'an suddenly slapped his palm on the table, and said loudly: "Since you want to be a pair of mandarin ducks with the same fate, then I will fulfill you today, don't think how powerful the Hidden Sword Villa is, my two brothers have not been afraid of anyone after walking the rivers and lakes for so long!"

The table was smashed in an instant, Liu Ping'an thought that he would make a move on the two of them next, and he sat and walked out, dragging Ye Taohua backwards.

Xie Bi'an was indeed about to start immediately, but at this time, a voice came.
