"It turns out that Mr. Yun is in front of you. It is our duty to do this. I have offended you so much. I hope you can forgive me."
After receiving Yunjing's affirmative reply, the leader softened his attitude a lot again, put on a smile, and motioned for the others to put down their weapons. As he said that, he handed Yunjing's student status back.
However, they did not completely relax their vigilance. After all, they only had a preliminary understanding of Yunjing's identity, and they suddenly believed that it was definitely impossible.
And as he said, it's your duty, no matter what if Yun Jing's identity is confirmed, you should still be vigilant.
After receiving the academic certificate, Yun Jing nodded and said: "Understood". After a pause, he then said: "Does this elder brother know me?"
"I don't know him, but I heard someone mention it." The other person shook his head and smiled.
Slightly dumbfounded, Yunjing asked curiously: "Brother, where have you heard of me?"
"Bao Ze mentioned it occasionally, so I made a note of it. I never expected to meet you here," the other party said with a smile, without saying much.
Yun Dingding nodded, hesitated, and said: "Brother, I would like to ask you, what do you mean by such strict interrogation? I have no other intention, I am just asking. If it is inconvenient, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
The man frowned slightly, thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yun, you are a scholar and Master Li's apprentice, but I still want to tell you that it is better not to inquire about things you shouldn't inquire about, so as not to bring trouble to yourself.
To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that you are a scholar and Master Li’s disciple, based on the question you asked, we would have the right to arrest you or even kill you on the spot!”
"I understand, I made a mistake," Yunjing said apologetically.
The other party smiled and said: "Young master, it's good if you understand. Okay, we still have a mission, so we won't nag you more with Mr. Yun. Finally, I advise you to stay away from this place before dawn, and return to the official road at noon to continue on your way."
Having said that, well, we are just serving as an outpost. If you insist on not listening, the people behind you may not care about your identity. Take your leave."
After saying that, the man slightly cupped his hands and galloped away with the others.
Seeing them leaving, Yun Jing frowned slightly and looked in the direction he was coming from. Why did they check both sides of the road so strictly and even cleared the road?
Are there important people passing by, or are there important military supplies that need to be escorted to the front line?
After listening to others' advice to eat enough, Yunjing had no intention of causing trouble for himself no matter what the reason was. Although he had the ability and means to figure out the reason, he didn't want to do that.
How can military and national affairs be trivial?
People can't be arrogant. Don't forget about it because you have some background and means. If a lot of things happen, your face will not look good in all aspects...
After such a delay, the sky was already whitening, and it was impossible to sleep. Yunjing caught a little rabbit and roasted it for breakfast, then packed up and left before dawn.
He was still able to listen to what was said. If it were another person, with his ability, he might try to figure out the reason to satisfy his curiosity.
Walking on the official road towards Fangjiatun, Yunjing estimated that he would arrive there at noon.
He didn't go far when the tiger that had escaped sneaked up on him.
Yunjing turned around, waved at it and said: "Go, go, I won't look for you, forget it, you actually took the initiative to follow me, I don't have time to talk to you, just go and have fun by yourself."
The tiger didn't leave. He looked at the cloud scene and seemed to ask, "How can you do this and ignore others just for fun?"
Yun Jing was happy and said: "You guy, you are not afraid of death. There are many people coming and going in the officialdom. You may be killed at some point. Go ahead, stay away from the officialdom and cherish your life. Not everyone is like that."
I won’t hurt your life like this.”
After saying that, he ignored it completely and strode away.
One person and one tiger walked ten miles in the morning light, and estimated that they had reached the edge of the tiger's territory. It lingered for a moment, but after all, it still didn't follow completely, and rushed into the mountains with a roar and disappeared.
When fate is over, it will fall apart...
The tiger left, and Yunjing ignored it and continued on his way.
After walking for a few more miles, he vaguely felt the earth shaking slightly. With a sweep of his mind, he found hundreds of knights in armor galloping on their horses on the official road behind them, rushing into both sides of the road from time to time to check their surroundings.
Each of these hundreds of knights has mid-level acquired cultivation, well-equipped equipment, and horses. Once they cooperate, a dozen or so late-level acquired warriors will be hacked to death with random swords. After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands.
And they also have weapons like crossbows for long-range containment.
"It seems that someone or something extraordinary has passed by, otherwise there would be no such battle. The probability of people is small, and the possibility of important military supplies is greater. It is a matter of war, and there is no room for error."
With this thought in his mind, Yunjing glanced back at the official road behind him, accelerated his speed, and then wisely left the main road and walked towards the small road leading to Fangjiatun.
Not long after Yunjing left, three waves of hundreds of knights passed through the official road. Each wave was about two kilometers apart. From time to time, some people left the army and stationed on both sides of the road, using secret signals to inform those behind them that they were safe.
Finally, a large group of people arrived, and the oxcarts stretched for more than ten miles. Each oxcart was packed tightly and it was unclear what it was transporting.
On both sides of this bullock cart transportation team that stretches for more than ten miles, there are fully armed soldiers escorting the goods every few meters.
Even as the ox-cart team was advancing, there were special "engineers" in front of them to smooth the road, as if they were afraid that the objects on the ox-cart would bump into each other.
In this team, there are many hidden innate masters, and there are even many strong men with true artistic conception!
In order to transport the things on the bullock carts, an extremely huge number of manpower and material resources were dispatched.
Although he left the official road early, Yunjing's telekinesis range was not small. Unintentionally, he also discovered what the bullock cart was transporting.
Fire-powder, and gun-powder made into weapons!
No wonder there was such a battle. After discovering that the thing was being transported, Yunjing understood clearly, and he probably also guessed that this team was probably transporting only one of the batches, and there was no telling whether more would pass through.
What methods and methods will be used to transport them to the front line?
"Master is not in this team, and I don't know if this team is commanded by him, or if it is just a logistics and transportation team."
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Yun Jing estimated that even his master Li Qiu would not be able to recognize him in that team. With such a formation, he would probably be killed as soon as he got close.
These gunpowder military supplies are likely to affect the overall battle situation. There is no room for error, let alone Yunjing. If the prince wants to run up and cause trouble, he will be in big trouble!
After leaving the official road, Yunjing inquired about the direction of Fangjiatun from the farmers who had gotten up early to work in the fields. He walked dozens of miles and arrived outside Fangjiatun at noon.
This is a village nestled between mountains and rivers. It is not small in size. At a quick glance, it can be seen that there are at least a hundred households in this village, and the condition of each household looks good.
After all, there are people like Fang Qingyan here. It is said that one person can achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Under his influence, it is no surprise that the villagers here live a good life.
In this era, clan relationships are more important than any other relationship.
Although Fangjiatun seems to be just an ordinary village, according to Yunjing's observation, many villagers here are not simple, and there are several martial arts practitioners who have developed internal strength later in life!
After thinking about it for a while, he probably guessed that such a person was a former trusted subordinate who was willing to follow Fang Qingyan into old age, or it was possible that the dynasty had given him benefits in view of his past contributions.
As he approached Fangjiatun, Yunjing actually heard the sound of reading aloud.
"As expected of Mr. Fang's hometown, there is actually a school in the village."
This reminded Yun Jing of his own childhood. If there had been a school in Xiaoxi Village, he would not have been so entangled in studying and literacy.
But this kind of thing is something you can't envy. How could there be no big shot in Xiaoxi Village?
Well, when I get old, I will also open a school in Xiaoxi Village so that the young people in the village can have books to study, so that they will not be blind all their lives. I have nothing to do but teach in the school and see the young people in the village who are full of vitality. I want to come
It’s also a joy in life, right?
Why wait until you get old? You can start it when you have the ability. You can think about this matter...
"This young master is so polite, but why do you come to our Fangjia Village?"
When Yunjing was thinking about how to open a school in Xiaoxi Village, an old man leading a cow on the roadside looked at him and asked with a smile.
This old man who herds cattle is what Yunjing felt was a late acquired martial arts practitioner. He looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, and his body is still very strong.
After bowing his hands, Yun Jing said: "This old man is very polite. My student Yun Jing is from Xinlin County, Wangjiang County in the middle of the Yangtze River. I learned that this is the place where Mr. Fang retired and took care of his old age, so I came here to visit."
The other party is obviously protecting the village. If he doesn't explain his intention, he may be regarded as someone with ulterior motives.
The old man said unexpectedly: "Young Master is from Jiangzhou, but he is far away."
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you can get some guidance from Mr. Fang, it will be worthwhile no matter how far you go," Yun Jing said with a smile.
The old man shook his head: "Young master's desire to learn is admirable, but you are late."
"Why did the old man say this?" Yun Jing was stunned for a moment and said.
The old man said: "Young master, I'm afraid your trip will be in vain. Mr. Fang passed away last year, so it's no longer possible to give you guidance."
Yunjing didn't expect this to happen at all, and said with complicated emotions: "Mr. Fang's death is a great loss to the country. It's a pity that the younger generation failed to listen to Mr. Fang's teachings."
"Everyone is destined to die. Mr. Fang has worked hard for the country all his life. He is old and has passed away. It is time to rest in peace. It is a pity that Mr. Fang failed to see the peace of the border wars when he passed away. He left with regrets, which is sad.
", the old man shook his head and said.
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "Old man, this junior has no chance to listen to Mr. Fang's teachings. That's because this junior does not have that blessing. Finally, he came here. I wonder if he can visit his family, and then go and offer joss sticks to Mr. Fang for a chat.
Express your feelings?"
"Young master, please forgive me. There is only one young lady in Mr. Fang's house now, and it is not convenient to see guests. I will take you to burn incense sticks in front of Mr. Fang's grave. What do you think?" the old man said hesitantly.
Yun Jing understood that it was not good for him to run away because the male protagonist was not here, so he nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll just trouble the old man."
Yunjing has considered this situation and is not too entangled in it. However, the first learned man he visited did not go well, which he did not expect.
Next, Yunjing, led by his old man, went to burn incense and worship in front of Mr. Fang's grave. The old man helped prepare the sacrifices. Obviously, people often come to pay homage to the deceased Mr. Fang, and these sacrifices are always available in the village.
Mr. Fang's grave is just a mound. It looks very shabby, but it is well taken care of.
The reason why it was so shabby, the old man told Yunjing, was that Mr. Fang had told him not to be extravagant and wasteful after his death. Instead of spending that money, it would be better to hire a husband to teach the children in the village how to read a few more words. That was what he wanted to see.
After learning this, Yunjing was filled with admiration.
After paying homage, he could only leave with regret.
Things in the world are like this, plans can never keep up with changes...
