Yan Rumeng left, and Lu Guan often began to fall into deep thought. Liu Jun saw this in his eyes, but did not bother him until they entered Yangzhou two days later.
"Just thinking about some things will not lead to any results. Even if you make a plan for tomorrow, you may not be able to complete it tomorrow because there are always various accidents."
Seeing Lu Guan looking up at him, Liu Jun continued: "Do you know what I do? Look up at your goal, then look down at what you can do now, make sure you have not deviated from the route, then grasp it
Now, do what you can do now, keep doing it, and you will find that the plan you made before is a piece of shit."
"The Sword Sutra is not suitable for you yet. You need to continue to advance the progress of body refining. Under innateness, the comparison is the speed of the power of Qi and blood and endurance. My Golden Fire Body is very suitable. Although
If you run it beyond your capacity, it will damage your body. Now, it's time for you to take the field."
Looking up, they saw a big city in front of them, much larger than Qingshui County.
Countless refugees also gathered outside the city, but these refugees were not attacking the city. They gathered in several groups. There were several large pots in the middle of each gathering point, and the fragrance of rice spread far and wide.
Lu Guan went out to inquire about the news. Liu Jun went directly into the city. The word Shouchun was written above the city gate. When he entered the city, the city guard wanted to ask Liu Jun for a pass certificate, but Liu Jun didn't have this now. He looked at him in shock.
He stopped him, threw a few treasures at random, and entered the city in a big way.
The city guard next to him saw him dumbfounded and came over to pat him on the shoulder. He breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the person who patted his shoulder with some resentment. Did he save his life? Such a dragon crossing the river,
I'm afraid of provoking anyone who wants to.
In the strange eyes of his companion, I gave him one and put the rest in his arms. Hey, I almost lost my life for making money.
Liu Jun was walking aimlessly along the roads in the city on horseback. There seemed to be many wealthy households in the city, and the civilians didn't see much food on their faces. I guess so, the rice production here was almost twice as much as wheat, and people had a surplus of grain.
, so that he can provide porridge and relief outside the city.
It's just that this kind of relief cannot be carried out for a long time. However, seeing that the porridge shacks that serve porridge all have different flags, I guess it is a means for the big landowners to recruit refugees.
After a while, Lu Guan followed from behind: "We are now in Jiujiang County, passing Lujiang County to the south. There is a big lake there called Poyang Lake. The capital of Raozhou is not far from Poyang Lake. If we go quickly, it's probably
Three or four days’ journey.”
Liu Jun nodded, and the two of them had a meal in the city. It has to be said that even in a small street shop, the rice paired with fried fish has a unique taste.
After leaving the city gate, Liu Jun looked back. Although the scene in front of him was a human tragedy, there was something special about it.
At this moment, Liu Jun had no intention of delaying. He hurried on with all his strength and arrived outside Raozhou City at noon on the third day.
This is just a shabby little town. The city wall is no more than 4 meters high. Just below the city gate tower, a headless corpse is swaying in the wind. Judging from the clothes on the corpse, it is exactly what Luo Qiu Lin was wearing when he walked.
At this moment, the flesh on the corpse may have been pecked clean by birds, and the yellowing white bones are exposed under the tattered clothes.
A cold light flashed, and Liu Jun used a flying knife to cut the hemp rope hanging the corpse. The bones fell. Liu Jun flicked the silk cloth wrapped around his sword. The silk cloth unfolded, and when the bones fell, they supported the bones and slowly fell to the ground.
Liu Jun's action lasted only a few seconds, and the city guard at the city gate didn't even react. When Liu Jun looked over with cold eyes, the city guard jumped up and blew the whistle hanging around his neck.
Liu Jun took care of collecting Luo Chou's corpse. By the time he finished collecting it, more than a dozen city guards had surrounded him and Lu Guan.
"There are only so many?" Liu Jun murmured to himself, "How did you die here in such a small county?"
Liu Jun suddenly looked at a hidden corner of the city wall, and a man crawled out from there. When he saw Liu Jun, tears could not help but flow out.
Liu Jun recognized him. He was one of the two men who walked with Luo Chou. At this moment, he looked like a beggar. Liu Jun looked down and saw that one of the man's legs had disappeared from the knee down.
"Who are you? You are the main criminal who assassinated the county magistrate. It is a serious crime to have gotten into this kind of thing, so you should leave quickly."
A man who looked like the captain of the city guard yelled at Liu Jun. It wasn't that he didn't speak forcefully, but Liu Jun didn't look like a simple person. He was surrounded by them, but he treated them as if they were nothing. What if he was a master?
, it is too unworthy to be killed with a sword because I offended someone with my words.
"Go and call people. The more the better, your county magistrate will also be called." Liu Jun looked at the city guard captain with cold eyes, "Don't worry, I will always be waiting here."
The captain of the city guard felt a chill in his heart. This was definitely a master who could not be offended. People like him would definitely come forward to attack later. He had seen what those masters looked like. His eyes turned and fell on his brother-in-law.
"Huang Zhan, come with me. You go and notify the county captain, and I'll call the garrison outside the city."
A young city guard who was still a little confused followed him into the city. As soon as he escaped the sight of other city guards, the city guard captain whispered in his brother-in-law's ear: "I'll call someone later. I ran away on the way back."
Hurry up and hit yourself badly. It would be best if you can break your leg. This time this person may be a murderer and he will lose his life if he is not careful."
Seeing that his brother-in-law had not yet reacted, the city guard captain could only sigh in his heart, whether he would live or die would depend on his fate.
When he went to the garrison outside the city, he saw that there were only two stunned young people around Liu Jun. The others were shouting to report the news. The captain of the city guard secretly gritted his teeth, and they all couldn't slide.
The guy who keeps his hands back.
Liu Jun walked up to Luo Qiu's subordinate, squatted down and patted him on the shoulder. The man was also a man in his 30s, but he cried loudly.
"Seventh Master, you have to avenge the Third Master. He died miserably."
It was in the man's choking voice that Liu Jun understood what had happened.
After Luo Qiu came here, he spent two days investigating the news and found that his enemy had donated a large sum of money. The inspector who was then was now the chief official of a county, and his official reputation was usually good.
That night, he took a subordinate to visit the county government office at night and questioned the county magistrate face to face about what happened back then. The magistrate had a blank expression. After Luo Qiu explained the details in detail, the county magistrate showed an inexplicable look of regret and said to Luo Qiu.
He said that he was timid and fearful at the time, and this incident was just the personal behavior of his captain. After he learned about this incident, he was afraid that it would involve him, so he donated money to be transferred.
Even though Luo Qiu didn't really believe it, he gradually let down his guard after the county magistrate kept apologizing and preparing banquets.
But he didn't expect that the food and wine were poisonous. Luo Qiu's red hands gave him a certain resistance to the poison. After his hands reacted to the poison, he realized something was wrong. However, the poison was already deep at this moment. He tried his best to fight, but he couldn't.
The enemy was surrounded and killed in large numbers.
The man in front of him was left outside the room as a lookout. When he was escaping, he was shot in the calf by a bow and arrow. He was bleeding profusely. He was tied up with cloth strips and escaped from the county town. He passed out in the field and died. When he woke up, the leg was gone.
perception.
Liu Jun didn't have much feelings about Luo Chou's death. He didn't have a good opinion of Luo Chou. He felt that he was a little confused and couldn't even distinguish between his enemies. He was obviously so conspicuous when killing innocent people.
Ruthless, procrastinating in the face of the real enemy.
But judging from the current situation, it is basically certain that the county magistrate is indeed Luo Chou's life-and-death enemy. It seems that he is not a good person, and he will be killed later.
"This little brother, you are still young, but you don't know that people's hearts are sinister. You easily believe what others say, but you will be deceived." At this time, a clear voice sounded.
Liu Jun looked up and saw that dozens of soldiers and government officials had already arrived at the city gate. Behind him, there were a steady stream of village warriors gathering. A middle-aged man with an upright face wearing a county magistrate's uniform was guarded by soldiers.
, it was him who spoke just now.
He stood up and asked Lu Guan to take Luo Qiu, the surviving younger brother, away. Liu Jun walked straight towards the county magistrate. The magistrate did not move and just frowned. However, Liu Jun's actions made the soldiers around the magistrate a little nervous.
, all drew their swords and guns out of their scabbards, pointing at Liu Jun.
I have to say that this county magistrate is indeed a talented person, and he really looks like he is not surprised even if the mountain collapses.
Liu Jun just glanced at the soldiers standing in front of him and said impatiently: "I have some personal grudges against your county magistrate. If it is for public duties, your death will be considered a worthy death, but if you die for other people's personal grudges, you will not die."
It’s a bit unworthy. Get out of the way.”
But Liu Jun didn't expect that his words would be regarded as weakness, and some soldiers laughed. After all, they had surrounded and killed a master some time ago, and this was when morale was at its peak.
Some people stabbed them directly with long spears. Liu Jun stared at the county magistrate's eyes, but saw that his eyes were really calm. He didn't know if he really had the confidence, or if he thought that these soldiers in front of him could cause him harm.
What harm.
At the same time as the shrill "hiss" sound broke through the air, light flashed in front of Liu Jun. Before he knew it, Liu Jun had already held the sword in his hand, and broken knives and spears were scattered on the ground in front of him.
Just when everyone was a little confused, horrified screams rang out one after another. At this time, blood began to splatter, and a person was cut off from the waist. At this time, the person was not dead yet, lying on the ground looking at his broken body.
His lower body was howling in despair. It was the soldier who tried to stab him with a spear.
"Wow"
The soldiers who had just gathered around the county magistrate were now gone.
