Chapter 213 Save Shaoyang (February Pass)
The guards had already taken care of the wounds on their bodies. Although they were injured in many places, fortunately they were all flesh wounds and were not fatal.
Boss Ying was not stingy, and gave each of them a bamboo tube of spiritual water to help them recover faster.
Everyone knew it was a good thing, so they quickly opened it and drank it. Although the wounds on their bodies did not heal immediately, they stopped bleeding and the pain was relieved a lot. The most important thing is that the medicine on their bodies was relieved and they felt relieved.
few.
They got up again after a short rest and wanted to dispose of the corpses of the assassins as soon as possible. After all, this was on the official road. If someone passed by and saw it later, they would have to go to the government to explain, which would be troublesome.
They directly dug a hole in the open space on one side and buried the assassins hastily.
To be honest, it is really difficult to dig a hole without any handy tools. I just use those assassin's knives to pry up the soil bit by bit.
Fortunately, the soil here is relatively loose and there are not as many stones as elsewhere. Otherwise, they would probably have to dig here all day and night.
They tried their best to deal with it as quickly as possible, and they arrived at the next town before dark.
Shao Yang sent someone to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, so that he could write a letter to his brother Shao Jing to let him know, so that he could also be on guard.
This time they didn't look for the biggest inn, because they were afraid that someone would drug them regularly, or they would be ambushed there.
I found a relatively medium-sized one and stayed in it.
The eagle boss followed them secretly and did not appear in front of anyone. It was not until they chose the inn and entered the room that the eagle boss flew into the house where Shaoyang lived through the window.
It knew that it would go to Qiyang County to deliver a message soon, and then it would go back, and it was not prepared to escort them all the way.
Anyway, I have Jiayin's spiritual consciousness, and I am getting closer to Nanyue. If there is danger, it can rush over at any time.
As for why Boss Eagle arrived so promptly, of course it wasn't because he was secretly protecting Shaoyang.
More than ten days ago, it left Qiyang County with Shaoyang, and it flew directly back to Nanyue that day.
Jiayin was in the mood today and suddenly wanted to see where Shaoyang had gone. After all, she quite liked this uncle.
Unexpectedly, they happened to see someone drugging their food and also discovered the assassin ambushing them on the road.
Boss Ying was immediately sent to rescue them, and the reason why they were still injured was because Jiayin sent it here with his spiritual consciousness. Since this was the first time he had done this, Boss Ying didn't get used to it for a while, and he felt confused.
.
By the time it calmed down, Shaoyang and the guards had already lost their temper.
But this is much faster than the Eagle Boss flying over by himself. If it came over by itself, it would take several hours, and the bodies of the guards would probably be cold by then.
And since Boss Ying can't speak, Shao Yang doesn't need to know this.
When Boss Ying came in, Shaoyang was writing a letter. He heard the movement and looked up. Seeing it was him, he nodded and said hello, then lowered his head and continued writing.
After writing it, put it into the bamboo tube that I carried with me, sealed it and gave it to Boss Ying.
The eagle boss put it directly into the storage bag, flapped its wings and left.
He quickly sent the letter over. Shao Jing received the letter from Shao Yang. After reading it, he asked Boss Ying to wait. He replied to his brother with another letter and asked Boss Ying to bring it back.
When Boss Ying came back, it was already three hours later.
It was already midnight, but Shaoyang had not fallen asleep yet. He was sitting in front of the window waiting for his brother's reply.
When he saw Boss Ying coming back, he stood up immediately.
Boss Ying handed the letter to him, and when he read it, he saw that there was no reply, so he left by himself.
After reading his brother's reply, Shaoyang knew that his brother was already worried, so he finally relaxed and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
...I am the dividing line...
More than a month later, when they returned to Nanyue City, they did not expect that there was another bad news waiting for them.
As soon as a group of five people returned to the county governor's house after a long journey, they were told by the housekeeper that Fang Youwei came to see him yesterday and said that he had something important to tell the second young master.
Shao Yang was a little confused, didn't the people in Fangjia Village know that Boss Ying went to rescue them?
But I can't say for sure. Maybe the Dragon God saw that they were in trouble and specially sent Boss Ying there. It was normal that he didn't tell the Fang family. After all, the Dragon God didn't need to consult with anyone when doing things.
Shaoyang freshened up a little, ate something, and then went to Fangjiacun without stopping.
He knew that Fang Youwei was not an important matter and would not come to the county town rashly to find him. So he did not delay and went directly on horseback.
When I arrived in Huayang County, I thought that Fang Youwei should still be on duty in the county town at this time. So I went directly to the yard where the garrison office was.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Fang Youwei practicing his sword skills there, but his breath was a little unsteady and there was a trace of anxiety on his face.
Seeing Shaoyang coming in with his horse, he quickly put away his sword and stepped forward to greet him.
"Master Shao, you are finally back. Come on, let's go into the house and say, I have something important to tell you."
Without waiting for Shaoyang to tie up the horse, he pulled him towards the house.
Seeing how eager he was, Shao Yang followed his lead and followed him forward.
When he got inside, Fang Youwei didn't close the door, he just left it open. He could just see if anyone was entering the yard outside, so it was safer to talk this way.
But he still lowered his voice, yes, Shao Yang: "I mentioned to the young master before that my uncle is now settled over there in Xiangyun Town.
The young master must also know that it is closely connected to Xiangyun County. Some time ago, my uncle went up the mountain to cut wood for charcoal and overheard the conversation between the two.
It is said that people in Xiangyun County often disappeared inexplicably during this period. They reported it to the officials, but the officials ignored them. The most suspicious thing is that most of the missing people were Yanren.
There are also rumors that some people discovered that the Yao people were secretly training soldiers in the mountains. Some of the missing people said they were captured as soldiers, while others said they were captured to test poison.
It is said that the Yao people over there are masters of poisoning, and those who disappeared were all captured to use new poisons.
My uncle didn't know whether this was true or not, so he kept a close eye on it. He secretly observed it over the past few days and found some clues.
Recently, some people from Xiangyun County often come to Xiangyun Town to buy food. It is said that the price of food in Xiangyun County has been rising. Although it has not increased too much, it is still much more expensive than here.
And you are not allowed to buy too much or hoard.
The more my uncle thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he wrote me a letter.
I also thought that the Hu people and the Yue people in the past also hoarded food and grass to prepare for war.
Although they did not come to Nanyue County to buy grain and grass on a large scale, the weather is now smooth and there are no disasters. The sudden increase in grain prices is also very abnormal, so I went to the county governor's house to inform the young master.
But the young master was not around, so he didn't dare to mention it to the county magistrate, fearing that the matter would be spread out and alarm others.
