Chapter 287: The Demon Road Blocks the Way
The road walked for seven days in a row to catch half the way, the east straight road is vast and sparsely populated, in order to do the best kuài rush to the road only five days in the town for five days, the rest of the time the five people are sleeping in the wilderness, fortunately, as a catch, usually in order to catch thieves, they have a lot of experience in the open sleep.
And the black cat is as magical as Zheng Dong thinks, these days it has been closely following Zheng Dong and their party, even when the war horse is running and sweating a little out of strength, the black cat is a leisurely look.
Zheng Dong was squeezed out by Li Zhaofeng, and naturally didn't give him a good look along the way, and finally he couldn't shake it off, so he simply beckoned to the black cat, and the black cat immediately accelerated and exploded very well-behaved, jumped directly on Zheng Dong's shoulder, and shrank up very comfortably.
Li Zhaofeng naturally also found this black cat that had been sneaking and following them, during which he also tried to catch this strange black cat, but unfortunately it was alertly escaped, and now seeing it on Zheng Dong's shoulder, he naturally knew that it was a cat like him.
Li Zhaofeng looked at Zheng Dong with an unkind face and said: "Zheng Bantou went to Daocheng to report on his work and brought a pet, this attitude is not good enough, when the time comes, the criminal officer will blame him, don't discredit our entire Sangzi County!"
"Li Tou's words are too strict, compared to your wisdom, it is easy to see that this cat has taken the initiative to follow us for seven days, I let it stay by my side now, just to understand its painstaking efforts to follow for thousands of miles, as for Daocheng, I will naturally let it go to forage for food by itself, instead of taking it to the post house." Zheng Dong said nonchalantly, I don't know why, after waking up this time, his temper seemed to be much bigger, and he couldn't tolerate Li Zhaofeng's provocation against him at all.
"Hmph, how can an ordinary cat keep up with a galloping horse, what you are keeping in captivity is clearly a monster, and please remember, I am your boss. Speak to me with the utmost respect. After Li Zhaofeng said this, he whipped his horsewhip hatefully, and the snow-white Lu Ma raised the dust in the sky and quickly ran away with him.
"Young people should not be too arrogant, Li Tou is determined to be promoted to Chunzhou Mansion as the chief catcher this time, so that his old man is not happy, and your life will be difficult in the future." Wang Bantou said with some schadenfreude, urging the horse to chase Li Zhaofeng, but the two senior catchers didn't say anything, and followed closely behind.
Looking at the four people in the distance. Zheng Dong's expression was very calm, he tilted his head to look at the black cat on his shoulder, and said playfully: "Demon? maybe, but I don't know why, I always have a kind feeling when I see you, and this feeling even surpasses that of my mother, my intuition tells me, no matter what you are, it is impossible for you to betray me in this world." ”
The black cat listened to Zheng Dong's words. With his furry head pasted on his face, there was a little comfort in his blue eyes, but more anxiety was indescribable.
Zheng Dong urged the horse to move along the official road at an unhurried speed, and he didn't care at all whether Li Zhaofeng would leave him and go first. Anyway, as long as he follows the signs on the official road, he doesn't have to worry about getting lost.
As a result, just after Zheng Dong rode his horse for more than ten miles, a majestic mountain towered in front of him, and the steep peaks of thousands of zhang seemed to be split by the gods with an axe. The cracked canyon is also commonly known as the first line of sky, and what stunned Zheng Dong was not the steep terrain, but the shadowy crowd gathered in front of the canyon. A rough look at the past was at least not less than a few hundred, and Li Zhaofeng and others were also involved.
Zheng Dong violently clamped the horse's belly, and the whole horse let out a loud neigh, and led him to gallop towards the mouth of the canyon quickly, and when he came to Li Zhaofeng, Zheng Dong restrained the horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, and asked a senior catcher: "What happened, why are so many people blocked here?"
The catcher quietly raised his eyes to look at his boss, and saw that Wang Bantou had no instructions, so he had to bite the bullet and reply to Zheng Dong: "The canyon road is blocked, there is a monster and a Taoist priest fighting the law, and the people who entered the canyon before, except for those who escaped from the two clever points, the rest were either devoured by the monster or turned into ashes under the Taoist priest's spell." ”
"Monster, Taoist priest?" Zheng Dong muttered with a strange face, in his previous eighteen years of life, the former of these two words only existed in the fiction, and the latter was synonymous with a liar, just when he wanted to inquire in detail, he suddenly found several well-dressed people with big bellies walking towards them.
The middle-aged man who was wearing a golden robe and a jade crown at the head swept his gaze over Zheng Dong and the others, and finally landed on Li Zhaofeng, after all, his head-catching outfit was still obvious.
The middle-aged man asked in a condescending tone, "Are you the messenger of the yamen?"
Although Li Zhaofeng was disgusted with the other party's tone, he didn't dare not reply, because judging from the jade crown on the other party's head, the other party should be a person with a title, and he had no title in the Great Xia Dynasty, even if it was a capital crime to rashly bring a crown in the dynasty.
"Under Li Zhaofeng, he is the head catcher of Sangzi County, Chunzhou Prefecture, and this time he received an order from the Daocheng Proposal Lord to report on his work, I don't know what advice this lord has?" Li Zhaofeng said with a fist in his fist.
"It turned out to be a small county government catcher, this lord Xuchang, Chengyin Wuxunnan, and Shiyi Qianhu, now do things for the Daocheng Liang Palace, and now escort a batch of important goods, which must be sent to the palace within a week, and now the monsters are blocking the way, and we must unite a qiē force to open the way, so a few of you have been requisitioned. Xu Chang said in a completely commanding tone.
Xu Chang's attitude angered Li Zhaofeng a little, he was already a high-minded and arrogant person, although the other party had the status of a baron, but he had no official position, and he had no subordinate relationship, Li Zhaofeng just wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, a thought suddenly came to his mind.
The mountain in front of you stretches for thousands of miles, only this valley road can be passed, if it takes more than a month to detour to Daocheng, their debriefing this time has become a complete joke, it is good not to be condemned, the monster evil road that blocked the road does not know when to leave, at this time it is time to unite a qiē force, Xuchang wants to use himself, why can't he use Xuchang?
Thinking of this, Li Zhaofeng deliberately put on a humble look and said to Xu Chang: "Lord Xu, it's not a shirk, why don't you ask the nearby city to send troops to open up the road, we will catch five people quickly, and we can barely build a second-rate good hand on the side, and we really can't get through the level."
