The first thousand three hundred and thirty-four chapters on the way
Zhu Ping'an's destination is Yingtian Mansion, the seat of the Zhejiang Procuratorate, which is thousands of miles away from Jingnan. In modern times, the distance is only more than 500 kilometers, and it only takes half a day to drive. However, in ancient times, this required
For several days, this was still the case where horses were used as means of transportation.
It was originally expected to take five days to reach Yingtian Mansion, but it looks like it will take at least six days.
The people of Jingnan carried the old and the young and insisted on seeing Zhu Ping'an all the way, no matter how hard they tried to persuade him...
Looking around, there are people all along the road. As far as the eye can see, the road is blocked. Looking at the old man and woman walking tremblingly, no matter how hard Zhu Pingan can bear it, he can only get out of the car and walk all the way...
So until evening, Zhu Ping'an was still in Jingnan, having walked less than a few miles in total.
In the evening, Zhu Pingan and his party entered Duanxi Town, Jingnan, checked into an inn, and pretended to have a rest in the town tonight. However, after tea time, Zhu Pingan and his party dressed lightly and disguised themselves.
They went out the back door of the inn, leaving Liu Daqiang and Liu Dachui behind to confuse the people at the inn. The next day, they drove the carriage on the road.
"Giggle...someone has obviously been promoted, but he looks like a lost dog..."
The enchantress Ruo Nan rode her horse around the painting and rode alongside Zhu Pingan, giggling and teasing Zhu Pingan.
"My uncle is not a lost dog." Hua'er pouted and twisted his body on the horse in protest.
"Giggle, if you twist around again, you'll fall down and get disgraced, and you'll be disliked by some homeless dog. It's not my fault." The demon girl Ruonan chuckled, and blew a breath into Hua'er's ear.
"My uncle is not a lost dog. People can't bear to leave him. They say he is the great master of Qingtian. My uncle is on his way in a hurry." When Hua'er heard that the demon girl Ruonan said that Zhu Ping'an was a lost dog, she couldn't help puffing up her cheeks and giving the demon Ruonan a look and insisted.
"For a dog that has lost its home like this, it doesn't matter if it happens a few more times."
Zhu Pingan glanced at the demon girl Ruonan, twitched his lips proudly, and said something leisurely.
Traveling lightly and simply traveled much faster. Before the curfew, Zhu Pingan had already left Jingnan County and arrived in Taiping County.
Taiping County had been ravaged by Japanese pirates. Along the way, Zhu Pingan could see burned-out ruins. White flags were hung in almost every house, and the mournful sounds of children crying for their daughters and mourning for their fathers and mothers could be heard endlessly.
Heavy, sad, angry...
Along the way, Zhu Pingan remained silent, with mixed feelings in his heart. His anger towards the Japanese pirates soared, and he vowed countless times to wipe out the Japanese pirates.
"Zhu Pingan, I now understand why the people of Jingnan are so reluctant to let you go..."
Seeing the ubiquitous tragedies in Taiping County, the demon girl Ruonan looked up at Zhu Pingan with a heavy face and said slowly.
The people in Jingnan really can't bear to let go of nerds. With nerds around, the people of Jingnan have survived two Japanese invasions and one flood. It's rare for them to live a stable life, especially compared with the neighboring Taiping County (Taiping County).
The people were ravaged twice by Japanese pirates and once by floods (most of the people in the territory were killed or injured). The people in Jingnan seemed to be living in a peach blossom garden. How could they let Zhu Ping'an leave?
"If the Haiyan River is clear and the world is peaceful, I am willing to be their magistrate for the rest of my life." Zhu Ping'an turned to look in the direction of Jingnan and said softly, then shook his head and sighed, "Unfortunately, now that Japanese pirates are raging, there is no peace in Jiangnan.
Japan, what can be done..."
"The world is huge, there is more than one Jingnan; there are many people, there are more than 100,000 Jingnan people."
"Come on! There is an inn ahead, so we will stay there."
As he spoke, Zhu Pingan clamped his horse's belly, pointed to the inn not far ahead, and drove the horse quickly.
The name of the inn is very vulgar "Welcome to Guests", and there are traces of arson at the entrance of the inn. It seems that it has encountered a Japanese invasion. However, the Inn to Welcome Guests is lucky, at least it is still open for business.
The pawn shop next to the Ying Ke Lai Inn was left with only bare, dark ruins.
"Please come inside, guest officer. Just leave the horse to the younger one."
When the waiter saw Zhu Ping'an and his entourage coming to the door, he came to greet them warmly.
Zhu Ping'an and his colleagues are one of the few businesses in their shop today. Just a few days after the Japanese invasion, Taiping County was hit hard again, and it has yet to recover from the pain.
"Please prepare a table of home-cooked meals and open four rooms." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.
"Okay. Sir, please take a seat. The food will be here soon." The waiter led Zhu Ping'an and his party to a round table.
Because there were few people in the inn, the food was served very quickly. A table of home-cooked food and a bowl of rice were served in a short time.
"Forget it if there is no wine, why is there no meat at all?! Are you afraid that we can't afford the money? Our master is accompanied by two maids to serve, and there are also five big and three-year-old guards to protect him. Doesn't he seem to have no money?"
The enchantress Ruonan is a person who neither eats meat nor drinks nor has sex. Looking at the table of vegetarian dishes, she couldn't help but stop the waiter.
"Sir, please calm down. I don't have dog eyes, so I won't look down on others. Please listen to me and explain that our 'Ying Ke Lai' Inn only serves vegetarian food, not non-vegetarian food."
The waiter explained.
"Giggle...what kind of rule is this?! Only vegetarian food is served, not meat food?! Then why do you open an inn? Do you think the guests are all monks and nuns?" The enchantress Ruonan rolled her eyes.
"Okay, if you're a boy or a girl, it's the same with vegetarian food. Have a rest after eating, we have to go on the road tomorrow."
Zhu Ping'an waved his hand. He had seen so many tragedies along the way and he couldn't eat meat now.
"Master, are you not willing to give your slave even a little bit of meat to eat?" The witch Ruonan blinked.
Zhu Pingan was speechless.
"Sir, I'm really sorry. The store really only serves vegetarian food, not meat." The waiter said with an apologetic look, "Actually, we also served meat three days ago."
"Then why is it not available now?" the demon Ruonan asked.
"The guest must be from out of town! Our Taiping County encountered a Japanese invasion three days ago. The county seat was invaded by Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates killed people and set fires in the county seat. They did all kinds of evil. The streets were full of dead people. It was so miserable. Our inn is Fu Da
Fortunately, the water tank not far from the fire broke out and the firewood was extinguished. Three days ago, all walks of life in our county unanimously decided to eat Panax notoginseng to pay tribute to the deceased elders.
Folks." The waiter explained with a sad look on his face.
"That's it, I'm sorry." Hearing this, the demon girl Ruonan no longer asked for meat.
well!
How pitiful and pitiful.
When Zhu Pingan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
The group finished their dinner in silence and rested separately. They spent the night in silence and got up early the next day to start their journey.
