The morning sun is rising, and the breath is frosty.

Zhang Jiao walked alone on a deserted mountain path.

The mountains behind him are getting farther and farther away, and the road in front of you is gradually widening, and you can vaguely see people on both sides of the distance moving around their homes.

Zhang Jiao's spirit was shocked, and his expression was a little more vivid.

In the past few days, walking alone in the deep mountains and old forests, in addition to the mountains and snow in front of me, it is inevitably a little boring.

He immediately quickened his pace, twisting and turning all the way, and soon walked out of the foot of the mountains and stepped onto the thick official road.

Not long after walking on the official road, a stone monument that was mostly broken and looked like it was many years old was erected on the side of the road.

Zhang Jiao stepped forward to take a look, only to see that the stele was engraved with three words "Fenghe County", and there were annotations of official documents and the date, month and day of the monument under it.

After a few hours, it was dawn and the sun hung high in the sky.

Around the official road, there are already many villagers and pedestrians walking on the road, mostly carrying burdens and carrying cages, carrying salutes and walking in a hurry.

After seeing Zhang Jiao, they mostly stared at his hair for a long time, and then immediately looked away, and then quietly moved to the side, keeping a certain distance from him.

Zhang Jiao didn't care much about it, but his feet sped up and soon disappeared in front of them.

Several villagers who accompanied them on the road all breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly relaxed their vigilant looks.

Fenghe County.

After paying a penny to enter the city, Zhang Jiao once again felt the crowds in the market.

Fenghe County is much larger than the Huayin County that it passed through before, and although the city is not bustling and lively, it is also full of vitality.

On both sides of the street, there are one or two small stalls, selling food, firewood, and even a few students with Confucian towels are still selling calligraphy and painting.

Along the way, he even saw a gambling hall with gambling words, and not far from it was a green building with Cuiyan Building, and several young people were knocking on the door, talking to the old bustard inside, wanting to enter as soon as possible.

Zhang Jiao looked at the scene in front of him, and his expression relaxed a lot.

He looked at it for a moment, and when he saw an inn still open in front of him, he immediately walked over.

After preparing to rest and wash up, I asked someone how to get to Changqi County.

It was only when he arrived at the door of the inn that he found that although the door of the inn was open, there was no one in sight who greeted the person in charge.

There seemed to be a sound of smashing and arguing in the backyard inside.

Zhang Jiao tilted his ears and argued for a while, and then heard a man's roar faintly.

"You old thing, how can there be a brute like you. ”

"I went to visit my classmates and didn't come back all night, and you two did such a bad thing. ”

"Say, how long have you been carrying me?"

"Whisper, you let me whisper. You've done this kind of thing, and you're afraid that people will hear about it?"

In the sound of ping-pong smashing, a violent slamming sound came from afar, and after a while, a young man of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old wearing a robe walked out angrily.

When he saw Zhang Jiao standing in the hall, his face suddenly blushed, and he ran out with his sleeves covering his face.

Not long after the man ran out, five people hurriedly walked out and left the inn with their heads down.

Zhang Jiao looked at it for a while, and found that he saw a thin old man with a Confucian crown who was being carried out by a boy who was two halves old, and behind him was a woman in coarse cloth, holding a child of three or four years old in his arms.

The five of them walked out of the inn with their heads bowed like thieves, and even the shopkeeper behind them shouted that they didn't want to return more than 20 yuan, and fled in a hurry.

The shopkeeper on the side stared at their departing figures, and even the guests who had been standing for a while forgot to greet them.

After a while, it was not until the five people who had just run out completely disappeared that he turned his head and hurried over to greet the guests.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've kept you waiting. ”

"You sit down first, I'll pour you a cup of tea first. ”

The shopkeeper quickly brought a cup of tea over and put it in front of Zhang Jiao.

"Dao Chief, are you going to play the tip or stay in the hotel?"

Zhang Jiao took a sip of the cup and said softly, "Yes, open me a better room, boil a bucket of water, and have some food." ”

He took out a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and said, "If you trouble the shopkeeper, help me find a gentleman in the city, and then help me find a master to cut my clothes." ”

The shopkeeper immediately took the silver, patted his chest and replied, "Don't worry, Daoist, we will do it properly for you." In our Lao Chen's place, as long as it is a guest who comes to the door, you can tell you if there is something, just like the one just now...... Well, I'll get it for you. ”

The master subconsciously wanted to tell the story he had just seen, but he reacted immediately, quickly closed his mouth and left the hall, preparing food for him.

Zhang Jiao didn't ask, lowered his head and took another sip of tea.

I believe that in two days, this matter will spread in Fenghe County.

The next day, after picking up the map that he had asked someone to describe, wearing a newly changed robe, he left Fenghe County and walked in the direction of Changqi County.

Two days later, on the official road heading north.

Zhang Jiao looked at the rows of horses placed on the road ahead and stopped.

There were also many pedestrians who were blocked around him, and there were as many as twenty or thirty people at a glance.

Among them, there are farmers carrying burdens, old men sitting on the road, and people dressed in strong clothes. Among them, the largest number of people is a troupe that rushes to work, there are more than ten people, and the team members are of different ages, all of them are men, and they are watching their squad master negotiate with the officers and soldiers in the checkpoint at the moment.

"Master Jun, look, when will this be released?"

The young man in the armor replied coldly, "I don't know. ”

The Jianghu guest next to him immediately walked up to the horse and kicked it, and habitually shouted, "I don't know, then if you block it until next year, will we have to wait until next year?"

The young general in the checkpoint immediately looked over, he waved his hand up, and more than a dozen soldiers standing next to him immediately aimed their bows and arrows at him.

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone froze in place.

The Jianghu who was targeted by dozens of bows and arrows trembled even more, stammering and begging for mercy.

"Army... Master Jun, the little one, just ask so casually, you have a lot of adults, don't be like me as a rough person, just treat me as a fart, let it go. ”

The young general stared at him coldly, his eyes full of evil, "It's late." ”

The two soldiers next to him immediately released their arrows, and a miserable scream came, and the Jianghu guest fell to the ground, and blood foamed from his mouth.

The young general said to the soldiers beside him, "Erect a pole and hang him for me to set an example." ”

There was an immediate commotion in the crowd, but this time no one dared to question again.

Zhang Jiao looked at the sealed official road, his eyes flashed with blood, and his figure flickered through the fence and walked inside.

As if everyone present hadn't seen it, they let him go inside.

However, before he had gone far, the sound of breaking through the air came from his ears, and a dark iron plate was inserted straight into his path.

The seal engraved on the iron plaque lit up instantly, like red-hot iron juice flowing through.

A humanoid spirit with a face like ruby and soapwool with a body like a giant man and a misty humanoid spirit emerging from the token on the lower body.

"Your Excellency, please stop for the time being. ”

The spirit stared at him with brass bell-like eyes, exuding an oppressive deterrent.

It stretched out its hand and pointed to a gazebo in front of it and said, "Please rest here for a while." ”

Zhang Jiao followed its fingers and saw several figures in the pavilion looking at him, as if looking forward to his arrival.

"Please also rest here for a while. The spirit repeated it again.

As if sensing that the person in front of him had no intention of acting, the golden light around the spirit body flickered around Yingluo, and a huge red gold hammer was condensed in its palm.

"Xiaoyou, come quickly! This is the commander of the Yuan Emperor faction, who does not understand human nature and only obeys the edict. Why bother to conflict with such a dead thing. ”
