Fifty or sixty people gathered on the road ahead, including porters, farmers, and craftsmen with tools. Most of them were civilians, with few carriages and horses.
In fact, in this era, there are really not many people who can afford such valuables as carriages and horses.
There were only two oxcarts and three taels of horse-drawn carriages there. The people driving the oxcarts were obviously farmers. The hoes and baskets on the oxcarts were too conspicuous. Yunjing knew such farmers. They had cows at home and would go out to look for work during slack periods.
They were doing things like helping people pull goods to earn some money to support their families, so they walked long distances. And the three-two horse-drawn carriages were not meant to carry passengers and pull people for long distances. The carriages pulled goods and didn't even have carriages.
At first glance, those people didn't look like they were wealthy people. They didn't have any special escorts. Knowing that the front was not peaceful and safety was a big problem, it was understandable that they didn't dare to go forward alone.
After a little observation, Yunjing found that among those people, there were not even a few serious martial arts practitioners. Although some people were armed with weapons such as sticks, they probably only had a few tricks to scare ordinary people.
People's problems are not big, but when you encounter a truly evil person who blocks your path, you have to catch him blind.
The road ahead was not smooth, and there were currently no evildoers blocking the path within Yunjing's senses. He was considering whether to continue moving forward or stop and walk with others.
If you continue to move forward, there will not be a big problem in terms of safety. Even if the front is not flat, you can still spot the cloud scenery two kilometers away in advance. At this distance, you can move forward or backward easily. If you stay and wait for more people, we can go together
, on the contrary, it will delay the trip. If you stay too long, whether you can get to Qingliang Town before dark today is a question.
The appearance of Yunjing and his entourage immediately attracted the attention of those who were staying in front. Seeing Yunjing and the others, those people seemed a little excited. After all, Yunjing and the others were tall horses and guards with knives and swords. If
Being able to move forward together will definitely become a great safety guarantee for them on their way forward.
Traveling in this era is difficult, especially if the road is not smooth. If you can meet a noble person to guide you, it is truly a matter of great joy.
When those people looked at Yun Jing and the others, most of them did not dare to look directly at them, and secretly looked at them with expectant eyes from the corner of their eyes, appearing cautious and anxious.
Such a situation made Yunjing think of what he had experienced in the past.
He was only two years old at that time. When he went to Niujiao Town for the first time, he met a scholar on the road. He was accompanied by guards, maids, and bookboys. He was lying on a bullock cart with a big umbrella covering his head. Not to mention how comfortable it was to enjoy more.
The scene back then was very similar to now. At that time, Yunshan and other villagers, who were ordinary people, did not dare to take a serious look at the rich man's bullock cart for fear of causing displeasure.
At that time, Yun Jing was still feeling sour in his heart that he couldn't say that, but now, almost ten years later, he himself has become the envy of others.
"Will the dragon slayer eventually become an evil dragon... Uh, that's a conspiracy..." Yun Jing muttered to himself.
The circumstances of life are so wonderful.
As they approached passers-by, Yunjing's carriage and horses also slowed down slightly.
"Why are you slowing down?"
Yunshan opened the car curtain and stuck out his head to ask. He was a little sluggish and his face was a little pale. Well, to put it bluntly, Yunshan was actually 'carsick'. Yunjing couldn't relieve it with his spiritual energy during the journey.
This is just the beginning, he is like this, and he doesn’t know how much he will suffer in the future...
Yun Jing smiled and said: "Dad, it's okay, you can go and rest."
"There are so many people gathered on the roadside, and they don't dare to go forward at the first sight. How can you call it okay? I'm afraid it's not going to be smooth ahead!" Yun Shanqiang said, cheering up.
Over the years, every time he went to the town, he would go with a group of villagers and try to avoid going alone. He had experienced such things so much that he could guess what was going on ahead at a glance.
Tsk, these are all experiences forced by the damn life...
"Dad, it's okay, we will take care of it, don't worry," Yunjing could only say.
With a groan, Yunshan said: "I am your father. If something happens, I can still let you stand in front of me."
As a man and a father, Yunshan still has his own responsibilities. No matter how talented the child is, he will always be just a child in the eyes of his father.
It feels really good to have my father standing over my head to 'shade the wind and rain' and speak the truth.
Jiang Susu in the carriage said, "Did something happen?"
"It's okay, Susu, don't worry." Yunshan retracted his head and entered the carriage to look at Jiang Susu and comforted him. While speaking, he also quietly patted a hatchet hidden in his waist.
For the sake of safety when traveling far away, Yunshan was also prepared.
If something really happens, he probably won't be able to make any preparations...
Within a few words, Yunjing and the others were already approaching the people on the roadside.
At this time, Liu Dazhuang also rode back after a short negotiation and told Yunjing that what he learned about the situation was no different from what Yunjing knew himself, and even Yunjing understood it more clearly.
After that, Liu Dazhuang hesitated and said: "Master, those people hope to come with us and let us take them for a ride. If possible, they also hope that we will wait and take them forward when there are more people. They are not in vain."
We said that if we take them with us, we will give them a certain amount of trouble, so you see, young master..."
In order to reach Qingliang Town before dark, Yunjing decided to continue moving forward. Even if the front was not smooth, it would be best if he could find out in advance that there was no trouble. If the trouble was not big and could be solved, he would still move on. If the trouble could not be solved,
He would retreat early and think of a solution.
After thinking about it, he said: "Everyone is in trouble when they are out. When you can help them, just help them. It won't be a big deal. Uncle Liu, please go and tell them that we will help them."
Keep moving forward. If they want to keep up, they can keep up. As for the cost, it's not easy or necessary. But you have to make it clear to them. If they run into trouble, we will take care of them to the best of our ability.
, if we are not capable enough to protect them and something goes wrong, then they won’t blame us for not notifying them in advance.”
"I understand, the young master is kind-hearted. Meeting you is a blessing for them. It's too late for them to be grateful if you take them for a ride. How can you bite back? There are still a few white-eyed wolves in the world. Young master, I will go and inform them right away.
", Liu Dazhuang said a few nice compliments, then rode his horse and went to negotiate with those people.
Yun Jingxin said where did Uncle Liu learn this skill of flattering?
"Master, I've been on this road before, and I've never heard of any road bullies. I think they just appeared out of nowhere recently. If some thieves encounter us, it's bad luck for them, so I guess it's not a big problem."
Song Yan patted the long sword on his waist and smiled.
Song Yan had practiced martial arts, and his skills were not weak, and he really didn't pay attention to the few thieves who knew how to use a few tricks.
In this regard, Yun Jing said: "No matter what, it's best to be careful. If there is a dangerous situation, the safety of my family is the first priority!"
"Don't worry, young master, I know," Song Yan nodded.
At this time, Liu Dazhuang had already discussed with the passers-by. Although those people wanted Yunjing and others to stay and wait until there were more people, Yunjing and others wanted to continue going, so they had to quickly pack up and prepare to set off. After all, they would not be able to wait any longer.
I wonder if I can wait for such an opportunity.
In the carriage, Yun Shan listened to the grateful words of the passers-by around him. Although no one saw him, he straightened his back subconsciously and whispered to Jiang Susu: "This is our son. It's a shame for our parents, Yun. They all
I am grateful to our son, I can brag about it for the rest of my life when I go back!"
"They are thanking our son, not you. Why are you so embarrassed?" Jiang Susu said with a smile.
With a smile, Yunshan said: "It's all the same, it's all the same..."
Yunjing and his party naturally walked to the front. With them leading the way, the poor passers-by could feel at ease.
In order to take care of pedestrians who were walking or even carrying heavy objects, Yunjing deliberately slowed down the carriage slightly.
The group of people walked on the official road in a dusty manner and advanced for about six or seven miles. Liu Dazhuang took the initiative and said: "Young master, I will go to the front to inquire about the situation. If something happens, I can ride fast so that I can come back and inform you in time."
"Okay, Uncle Liu, please be more careful," Yun Dingding nodded.
Giving Yun Jing a reassuring look, Liu Dazhuang galloped forward on his horse.
As he approached 'that area', Yunjing could clearly feel that the people behind him were getting nervous, and they stopped talking. The atmosphere was very depressing.
The world is not peaceful, and those who suffer are always the common people at the lowest level. Even if they just go out for a long trip, they will feel anxious on the way, and their life will be really difficult.
Even in a remote place like Niujiao Town, it is impossible to imagine what the common people will be like in the future under the influence of the border war...
Not long after, Liu Dazhuang galloped back on his horse. When they saw it was him, the people behind him who were nervous and ready to run away at any moment felt relieved.
Liu Dazhuang, who came back, reported: "Young master, I checked five or six miles forward in one breath, and I didn't encounter any gangsters cutting trails. I think it should be fine. It's such a hot day, and the gangsters probably don't want to go out."
At the end of the sentence, he himself became happy. The gangsters were trying to rob him, but it still depends on the weather.
"That's good, Uncle Liu, go and tell them in the back, so that everyone won't be worried," Yun Jing nodded.
Liu Dazhuang said: "I'm going to tell them right now..."
Yunjing did not relax his vigilance just because Liu Dazhuang went ahead to explore the way. As he got closer to that area, he closed his eyes slightly, and his spiritual power spread out silently.
Soon after, Yunjing raised his eyebrows slightly. The truth was not as optimistic as Liu Dazhuang said.
As he moved forward, from Yunjing's special sensory perspective, in the woods on both sides of the official road, hidden figures appeared one after another in his sensory range!
