Chapter 15 The general is worried, but the scholar is not worried

Half an hour later, Zhao Zhong and the others returned with blood, and all the mountain bandits were cleaned up by them and dug a big pit and buried them. None of the guards were damaged except for two who were slightly injured, which was also expected, after all, those mountain bandits had already lost their armor and lost their morale.

After packing up, everyone continued on the road, after this incident, the haze that pressed on everyone's hearts was dissipated, and the rest of the road can be said to be a smooth road, the atmosphere of the team relaxed, talking and laughing all the way, even Zhao Zhong, who had always been serious in the past, was full of smiles. But everyone's attitude towards Fang Zheng is not as casual as before, respectful and awe-inspiring, even Bi'er's attitude has changed a lot, and even made a special trip to apologize for what happened before. Fang Zheng felt a little funny, thinking that this girl was also frightened, and her emotions were a little out of control.

Today's sky is not early, everyone rushed out of Heihu Mountain before dark to set up camp and bury the pot to cook, as long as it is safe to pass tonight, tomorrow you can go to Shangfang Town, after handing over the goods, it will be easy. There was no longer the previous worry, everyone was naturally relaxed and happy, but Fang Zheng seemed to be isolated, and everyone saw him with gratitude and awe, without the enthusiasm before. Fang Zheng didn't care much, the little girl had been stuffy in the car for the past two days, and ran out early after resting at this time, chattering some interesting things with the two sisters beside Fang Zheng, Fang Zheng listened with a smile, but he was also happy.

There was nothing to say all night, and as soon as the sky dawned on the second day, the convoy was already packed up and ready to go, not even eating breakfast, preparing to gnaw two mouthfuls of dry food on the road and deal with it casually, and then eat a good meal after arriving at the flail as soon as possible. As soon as Fang Zheng finished cultivating, Zhao Zhong came over to tell him about the convoy to set off, and asked Fang Zheng if he had anything else to prepare. I also brought a specially prepared breakfast, saying that I meant my own lady. Fang Zheng naturally has no opinion, these days of continuous food and sleeping, not to mention herself, the little girl must be very tired, and she can let the little girl have a good rest when she arrives in the town as soon as possible.

The convoy marched towards Shangfang Town along the uneven road against the rising sun, and everyone's faces were filled with relaxed expressions, with mountains and flowers and laughter. Fang Zheng rode a thin horse, carried a wooden sword on his back, and still held a wine jug in his hand, enjoying the beauty that belongs to this world......

The evening breeze rose suddenly, the sky was about to get dark, and a convoy came to the west gate of Shangfang Town, although everyone in the convoy was covered with dust, but their faces were filled with excited looks, which provoked the guards at the door to take a few more looks, checked the relevant procedures, and saw that there was no problem and put it in.

Although Shangfang Town is just a town, it is really not small, it already belongs to the northwest border of Daliang, out of here and then to the northwest, after Tianyu County, only Tianmen Pass is left as the last barrier in the northwest of Daliang. Therefore, Shangfang Town has a natural advantage in the location of the ground, and many multinational caravans will pass through here, which promotes the extremely prosperous and vast development of this place. Although the city wall made of loess is not very tall, only less than three zhang, it has a strong sense of historical vicissitudes. The original earthy yellow color is rarely visible, and as far as the eye can see, it is almost entirely a black-brown color, like the marks left by the dried blood.

After Fang Zheng and his party entered the city, they directly found an inn called "Ping'an Ju", and everyone was already hungry, so they ordered food for the store to prepare and began to settle down and stay. Fang Zheng himself doesn't have to think about anything, and the old man surnamed Zhang will naturally help him arrange everything. While everyone was busy with these things, Fang Zheng didn't know that there was a conversation going on about him in the garrison camp on the edge of the town.

Outside the tent of the commander-in-chief in the large camp in the south of the city, a young partial general walked briskly, "General, the last general has something to report!" "Come in!" A majestic voice came from inside the tent. The general lifted the curtain and walked in. I saw a tall middle-aged man standing next to the main seat in the tent, unarmoured, only wearing an ordinary gray-brown robe, but giving people a strong sense of oppression. The hair is coiled up in a rather high bun and is fixed by a wooden hairpin, the face of the Chinese character is thick eyebrows and big eyes, the beard is shaved cleanly, and at this time he is holding a tea bowl in his hand, and he is leisurely blowing the tea leaves floating in the bowl and slowly tasting the fragrant tea.

"The last general will see the general. After hearing the voice of the general under the hall, he raised his head, "No need to be polite, what's the matter?" neither sat nor looked at the tea, and the question was even more simple and direct, but the general under the hall seemed to have long been used to it, and his expression did not change in the slightest, but he just stood up from the ground, and still bowed over to respond, "The news came this morning that Chen Heihu was killed by the people of the Zhao family's caravan, uprooted, and no one was left." The last general came in the morning to report that the general was cultivating, so he had to wait until this time to inform the general!"

"Oh, the Zhao family's caravan, is it the Zhao family from Tianyu County? Doesn't it mean that this time it was their eldest lady who had lost power to lead the team, and the accompanying guards were just some hairy boys who had just entered the mansion, how could they wipe out Chen Heihu and the others?" He knew that these doubts were naturally clear, otherwise he would not have come to report to him.

According to the spy, it was because a young man who looked like a scholar first beheaded Chen Heihu with the power of magic, and his subordinates were frightened when they saw it, and they abandoned their armor and fled for their lives, and then they were chased and killed by the Zhao family's guards. And this young man, who was suspected of being a cultivator, first slashed Chen Heihu with a sword, and then used an unknown technique to catch the rain of arrows shot by Chen Heihu's men, which scared them out. The general breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw that the middle-aged man in the hall had not spoken, he continued, "As for its origin, it has not been ascertained for the time being because it is still a short time, and the last general has already sent the "Sky Eagle" to do it. “

"Well, you did a good job, Chen Heihu is dead when he dies, it's not a big deal, it's just that the identity of this young man needs to be found out as soon as possible, if he is a powerful person, he might as well win it over, if he is a scattered person, he will either submit or perish, you should know what to do, don't let him spoil the big thing of this seat." Go!" The young general saluted respectfully, lifted the curtain and pushed it out, the middle-aged man stood in front of the seat and did not move a step from beginning to end, at this time he was still holding a tea bowl and drinking tea leisurely, with a thoughtful look on his face. Chen Heihu is just a chess piece for him to collect money, although the empire has had few wars in recent years, but the conquest in the past few years has already emptied the treasury, and the supply of the generals in the army can only barely survive. For himself, and for the sake of these soldiers under his command, he could only raise Chen Heihu, a "tiger", to entrench himself in Black Tiger Mountain and pay some attention to the passing caravans, but over the years, Chen Heihu seems to have given birth to a bit of ambition, and he has already exceeded the limits he set at the beginning, and he was originally going to find an opportunity to knock and beat, but he didn't want to be cut by someone with a sword, so he didn't have to think about it anymore, and the next thing to explore the immortal relic mansion was the most important thing. I hope that this sudden appearance of the young scholar will not bring any changes, but when he thinks of this, there is a trace of worry in his heart.

The middle-aged man's heart is naturally unknown, at this moment he is sitting in the private room on the second floor of the "Ping'an Ju" to eat, and there are also Zhao Muwan, Bi'er, Zhao Zhong and the old man surnamed Zhang, as for the little girl, it is naturally indispensable.

"Zhang Gongzi, the little girl is not in good health and can't drink, so she will toast Gongzi with tea instead of wine, and thank Gongzi for saving his life!" Zhao Muwan stood up with a teacup and said with a slight salute to Fang Zheng.

"Miss Zhao don't care, I've already said before, don't mention it again when it comes to saving yourself. As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down.

"Okay! The little woman should keep this matter in mind, but she won't talk about it anymore in the future, but this "boy girl" shouted awkwardly, and it was uncomfortable to listen to, the little woman dared to shout Brother Zhang, I don't know if it was okay?" Zhao Muwan said with a smile, it could be seen that she was in a good state today, and she seemed a lot more relaxed when she arrived in the town.

"Of course you can, it is naturally an honor for the girl to call her brother. ”

"In this case, Brother Zhang calls me "Miss Zhao" again, so you might as well call me "Mu Wan" or "Wan'er". Saying that, Zhao Muwan showed a hint of shyness on her face, and she was a little stunned.

"Hehe, Sister Wan'er, you're going to rob your brother with Yaya, with a beautiful sister Wan'er like you, I'm afraid my brother won't want me to be an ugly girl. He pretended to be pitiful. Zhao Muwan's face turned even redder when she heard this, and she didn't dare to look at Fang Zheng and the little girl for a while.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you girl. Fang Zheng scolded with a smile.

Then Fang Mou dared to call the girl "Wan'er", this "Mu Wan" shouted that others thought it was a "wooden bowl". Fang Zheng made another little joke. Everyone naturally heard the meaning of "Mu Wan" and "Mu Wan" in his mouth, and they were all happy. made Zhao Muwan, who looked embarrassed just now, not so embarrassed.

After the little episode just now, Zhao Zhongbier and others also toasted and thanked Fang Zheng one by one, and even the little girl also coaxed Fang Zheng to toast, others used wine glasses, and she even changed a big bowl for Fang Zheng. There was a lot to talk about, and everyone laughed when they were drunk. Everyone chatted while eating, Fang Zheng also knew from Bi'er's mouth that the Zhao family caravan came out of some of the process, the original Zhao family is a large number of households in Tianyu County, from the ancestors to now has a history of more than 1,000 years, through the efforts of the ancestors of the past generations in Tianyu County to operate a huge family business, involving inns, grain and oil, silk, pawn and many other industries, in recent years is involved in transportation, ready to open up a transnational trade route in order to achieve greater development of the family, this time the trip is to pick up the Shen family firm's order, from Tianzheng Province Guqing County to pick up the Shen family's goods and then all the way to Shangfang Town, there is a road to meet Fangzheng。

Guqing County Fangzheng has also heard that it belongs to Tianzheng Province with Bin County, but the distance is not close, with a distance of about 700 miles......
