67. Never underestimate the power of a tragic halo
"Is Xingyang just ahead? It's so exciting. I didn't expect the world outside to be so exciting."
A young man with an ordinary appearance was looking at Xingyang City in the distance and said with emotion. And next to him was a young man with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like head. Although his face was immature, his figure unexpectedly looked very mature.
"Yes, yes, that's why I don't want to hear words like 'go home quickly'. Only by traveling thousands of miles can you gain experience."
Although the young man's exclamation did not contain any praise, the young man seemed to have received some great reward. There was a happy look on his face, and even a handful of hair on his head swayed in the wind.
of hair.
"But it's really peaceful here. The laid-back people and peaceful life. I always feel that these are the things in my memory."
The young man desperately resisted the urge to rub the attractive-looking hair. Although its attraction was so great, it also made him feel dangerous. Because of luck, he would always
He fell into big and small troubles that troubled him. Perhaps after a long illness, he is now able to distinguish where the danger is greater and where the danger is less, which also allows him to avoid many unnecessary
trouble.
Although I feel very complacent, this is nothing more than self-comfort, because it seems that I am still getting into all kinds of troubles, big and small - the quantity is less, but the quality is slightly improving. Unfortunately.
!
It's a pity that he doesn't have an omniscient uncle, so he can't give him the artifact owned by the master of writing on the blackboard - the book of fisheries. So although he is helpless, the romantic seventh sense that belongs to men through physical training is still his last and only one.
Hope.
In order to divert his attention, he pointed to the farmhouse next to the official road. Fortunately, his luck did not seem to be bad this time. The old man outside the farmhouse seemed to be teasing his grandson with a happy face, and
There were no human tragedies such as houses collapsing instantly when he pointed at them. Yes, maybe he was a disharmonious person who brought disaster.
However, he cannot be too happy about this, because the reduction of quantity means the accumulation of quality. Perhaps, the playful gods have prepared a show for him that will trouble him even more. Anyway, he has already learned about it.
I am impressed by the gods' endless ways of playing with fate, and I don't want to be a fool who rebels against the gods, and then be wiped out without leaving even a scrap.
"It's really like that. Sure enough, what the uncle said is right. This is the core area of the Han Dynasty. From the moment he was born, he has become an enviable capital city. It is a place where all outsiders can be regarded as country people. It's a pity. I guess I am.
Even if you work hard all your life, you will never become the kind of famous official who can make the king expand the scope of the capital for his own sake."
Completely ignoring someone who was feeling sorry for himself, the young man looked at the peaceful land in front of him with a slightly envious expression.
But how could they possibly know how many refugees from other places had gathered here a few years ago? How could they possibly know the huge massacre that had occurred here and the dried bodies on both sides of the road after the massacre?
Corpses.
"Forget it, don't think so much, let's get to Xingyang City quickly, otherwise the city gate will be closed if it's a little later. I don't want anyone to be on the wet ground in this weather anymore, now
The bones all over my body still feel sore. And if you have a good rest today, you will have the strength to visit Aocang in the north of Xingyang tomorrow, which is said to be a very famous battlefield."
"Yes, when you say that, my body also feels sore and painful."
The young man immediately agreed to the young man's proposal. Obviously, a comfortable bed is always more attractive than a damp ground. What's more, they were also warned, knowing that even in the heart of the Han Dynasty, there would still be
Some bandits who sneaked in from the mountains and forests came to visit. Those bandits obviously did not have the ability to attack the tall city walls of the county, but in the wild...
But what? Accidents always catch people off guard, especially accidents disguised as "happiness and sweetness".
"Huh? What a cute little girl?"
Two people who were rushing to Xingyang City suddenly saw a cute little girl standing alone next to the official road leading to Xingyang City.
The girl has big, kind eyes, shoulder-length short hair with bangs that reveal a shiny luster, white and tender skin, and a slender figure. From a distance, she looks as lovable as a beautiful doll.
It's just that her thin but very red lips were slightly drooped, and her big eyes were full of water, as if they would burst into tears at any time. It was obvious that this beautiful little girl was in a very depressed mood at this time, probably.
He must have been separated from his family.
Such a cute girl immediately aroused the sympathy and hormones of two people.
Hey, you two, you have to know that eighteen hundred years later, there will be legislation in this land that prohibits pushing down lolita under the age of fourteen, so you two must be careful about being raped by a man with a net worth of 40 million who has mastered the ability to travel through time.
Take it away, young lady.
"Why, how could this happen!" Obviously both of them were deeply shocked.
Therefore, it is better not to secrete hormones when you see a little lolita who has not yet had haircuts. Just be sympathetic.
"Yes, yes..." Obviously these two are good boys. When frightened by the mysterious voice, they immediately trembled and ran away.
"Little sister~ Why are you here? Where is your family?"
The young man tried to look charitable, but it was a public face. His voice was soft and his movements were very light, for fear of hurting the other person, but it was a public face. So the poor little loli tilted her head and looked at him cutely.
After a long while, he said.
"Axue shouldn't tell the strange stranger that Axue is lost. Should Axue tell the strange stranger that Axue thinks the strange stranger smells bad? I think it's better to forget it, because Axue can't
Tell the strange stranger that if Xue talks to the strange stranger, he will be infected with that bad taste. It is better for Xue to leave."
After saying that, the little Loli seemed to have motors attached to her legs, and she disappeared in front of the two people in the blink of an eye.
"Strange, strange, am I strange? Am I just like a strange stranger?!"
The young man vigorously shook the boy who was standing behind him and had no time to talk to Loli. The sadness and anger on his face was clearly visible.
"Let go! You're okay, that girl and I haven't even spoken a word."
The young man was defending desperately. But, Sao Nian, I think you are very lucky that you didn't talk to me.
As a result, the two deeply stimulated men stood together on the roadside in the cold wind and decadently for a long time, so much so that when it got a little dark, they were still awake, and if they continued like this, the wild would
It's the only place they can find to sleep tonight.
Simply, these two people finally woke up from the negative state called "Lori's Contempt". After all, there are so many woods in the world why there is no need to hang oneself on the southeast branch. Although the previous one was a bit different, but humans, right
You must always have confidence in your future.
only……
"Hey, there are two guys here. Although I don't know what they do, I'm sorry. I hope you don't hold any grudges."
Just when the two were about to get back on the road, they discovered that they seemed to have been surrounded at some point.
"Hey, don't say sorry, we are just two strangers. Also, if you kill us, we will definitely resent you, and we will definitely become ghosts that will haunt you.
.”
"Are you a stranger? Forget it, we are not butchers like official dogs. Bamboo, hand over their weapons, tie them up and take them with you."
Although the accents of the two people do not sound like locals, the Northern Army adds a lot of border soldiers to the central government every year to replace the retired veterans. In addition, businessmen from all over the country come to Luoyang to do business, so in fact, Henan Yin's jurisdiction
The accents in the range are really mixed. And although the two people looked a little panicked, they did not show much fear when faced with the number of enemies that far exceeded them. Instead, they calmly responded to the challenge. Obviously, these two people will definitely not be
What ordinary people.
However, after thinking about it for a while, Su Fan decided not to commit murder and silence. The threat from the other party was not great. After all, the two of them were really not enough compared to the three hundred or so people like him. He was not a murderer, and his target was
It's just Xingyang City. As long as they can get to Xingyang City and rest in the city for a night or two to get enough supplies, then where the two people go after that has nothing to do with them. Of course, what's more important is, if these two people
If you can join your side...
Yes, in the face of these three hundred ferocious "savages" on our side who remained calm and unfazed, we have to say that Su Fan was tempted.
"Okay, if you don't cause us any trouble, you will be free in a few days. But if you don't care about your lives, then we won't care about the whining of two more idiots in our ears every night.
.”
In this way, two people who could have avoided such a trouble now had to become two "meat dumplings".
Perhaps because it has been a long time since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of the Northern Army soldiers originally stationed in Xingyang have returned to their bases. Although Xingyang is also the only way to advance to Luoyang from the east, because there is Si behind
Due to the water blockage and the strong Hulao Pass and Xuanmen Pass, Xingyang's status had declined a lot at this time, and the defenders were naturally few.
So Su Fan's plan was to have his group of people "disguise" themselves as refugees, lower the vigilance of the defenders, and then look for an opportunity to seize the city gate and eventually seize the entire county. As for how much rest time can be obtained after capturing Xingyang City
, then there is nothing they can do to me. After all, they do not have enough troops to completely blockade the entire Xingyang City.
So, under the afterglow of the setting sun, several soldiers guarding the city of Xingyang saw a group of ragged refugees coming from a distance.
p.s. After dinner last night, I suddenly felt stomach cramps. As a result, I couldn't update. I will make up for it today. There will be an update for today tonight.
