Lao Zhangtou suddenly said that he wanted to find Wei Changtian, which made Agou temporarily forget about roasting the goose. He was stunned for a moment before blinking and asked in confusion:
"Grandpa, are we going to Shuzhou?"
"Shuzhou? No."
Lao Zhangtou hurried to the broken house, rummaged for something from the box, and casually replied: "Let's go to Fengyuan."
"Well?"
Agou had obviously never heard of this place name: "Where is Fengyuan?"
"On the west side."
Lao Zhang said perfunctorily, and then pulled out a tattered long sword from the box.
It must have been sitting at the bottom of the box for a long time without being touched. The scabbard is covered with mold and there are still many small holes left by insects.
However, when Lao Zhangtou pulled out the sword with a "cang clang" sound, the sword blade reflected the sunlight and was bright and clean. Even the beggars on the roadside who took a look knew that this sword was extraordinary.
"Wow!!"
Agou couldn't help but open his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Grandpa, didn't you tell your senior brother that you have no treasure anymore? Where did this sword come from?"
"Humph, as a master, it's natural to keep some good stuff at the bottom of the box."
Lao Zhangtou flicked the blade of his sword proudly and prepared to return the sword to its sheath.
However, he failed to insert it several times, and finally he squinted his eyes and aimed for a long time before successfully putting the sword back into the scabbard.
"Okay, hurry up and pack your things, I'll buy a donkey cart..."
After finding a rag and wrapping the scabbard several times, Lao Zhangtou urged: "Let's leave today."
"ah?"
Agou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and ran to start picking up the two people's tattered clothes, as well as the almost non-existent "valuable objects" in the house.
"Bongyuan in the west...where is that?"
"..."
An hour later.
"Squeak~"
The wooden door, which had been in disrepair for a long time, was closed haphazardly, and a dead branch was inserted across it to serve as a door bolt.
Anyway, there was nothing in this shabby house and there was no fear of thieves, so Lao Zhangtou simply saved the money to buy the lock.
"Grandpa, I'm hungry..."
After holding the small package and getting on the donkey cart, Agou patted his belly in frustration: "Why don't we have a meal first before we leave?"
“I just know how to eat!”
Lao Zhang glared at Ah Gou, then waved his branch and hit the donkey on the buttocks.
"There is dry food here, eat it!"
"But I want to eat roast goose..."
Agou muttered reluctantly, and when he saw that Lao Zhangtou didn't respond, he had to give up and started eating the cold steamed buns in small bites.
"GuluGulu~"
The wheels rolled over the ground and the donkey cart bumped along the uneven alley.
A returning neighbor happened to bump into the two of them at the entrance of the alley, and couldn't help but ask: "Old Zhangtou, where are you going?"
Lao Zhangtou showed a bright smile: "Let's go out of the city!"
"Leave the city? Take Agou to hide from the enemy?"
"Why are you hiding from the military disaster? We have serious things to do!"
"Hahahaha, you two are old and young, how can you do anything serious?"
"Hey, I'm afraid I'll scare you if I tell you!"
"Yo?"
When the visitor heard this, he became interested. He stretched out his hand to hold the carriage shaft and said with a smile: "Every day there is a war outside the city, but I can't be scared. You have a very loud tone."
"Tell me, what is so terrifying?"
"Humph, I want to go..."
Lao Zhangtou's expression flashed, and he puffed up his chest with great pride.
"Behead Yama!"
"..."
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"
The slanting light shines on the village, and few people return to the poor alleys.
The copper bell hanging on the donkey's neck swayed, and the sound of the bell became fainter and fainter.
The man stood there, staring blankly at the donkey cart that had driven away. After a long while, he spat on the ground and murmured to himself:
"Behead Yama?"
"Crazy..."
...
...
Three days later.
In the territory of Dafeng, there is Mang River.
When the black carriage drove along the long stone bridge and crossed the turbulent wide river, the sky gradually turned orange, and as far as the eye could see, there was endless wilderness, and not even a trace of smoke could be found.
"Sir, Master Liang and Miss Liang have returned to Shuzhou."
Putting the "code book" in his arms, Chu Xianping leaned close to Wei Changtian, who was closing his eyes to rest, and lowered his voice in his ear:
"Also, Jizhou City was destroyed."
"Um?"
Opening his eyes suddenly, Wei Changtian turned around and asked, "Where is the Xu family? Are they all dead?"
"No, most of the Xu family had already fled before the city was breached."
"Wei Yanyu ran away too?"
"yes."
"..."
We have promised to fight to the death, but our Xu family will never survive?
Wei Changtian recalled what Wei Yanyu had said to him and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
Just run away. Being able to escape under the siege of the imperial army at least shows that Wei Yanyu still has some abilities.
As for the outcome of the war in Jizhou... Wei Changtian had already guessed that the Xu family would be defeated, so he was not too surprised now.
Why do you feel like you have forgotten something?
correct!
Old Zhangtou is still in Jizhou!
Wei Changtian frowned and asked again: "After the city was broken, did the imperial army seal the sword?"
"The sword is sealed."
Chu Xianping nodded: "Although the imperial court killed many remnants of the Xu family after entering the city, it did not affect the people."
"That's fine."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and warned: "Since Jizhou City has been destroyed now, our spies should be able to sneak in."
"Let them take more care of Lao Zhangtou and Agou. If necessary, they can take them to Shuzhou."
"yes."
Chu Xianping responded briefly as always, and Wei Changtian also turned his attention to Li Wutong sitting opposite.
After getting along with her for the past few days, he now has a general understanding of this woman.
Li Wutong, female, 20 years old, unmarried, the second daughter of Emperor Dafeng Li Qi, her biological mother is the empress.
He likes to dance with swords and guns, and is at the sixth level. He has been practicing in the military since he was a child. He has an upright and straightforward character, so he is well-known in Dafeng.
He is almost 1.65 meters tall and weighs about 90 kilograms.
Visual measurements of body measurements are approximately: eighty-four, sixty-two...
Hiss, this posture is not very good for observing the hip circumference...
"Look what I did?!"
Being stared at by Wei Changtian made his heart tremble. Li Wutong finally couldn't help but widened his eyes and defended: "You guys spoke so loudly, I didn't mean to eavesdrop!"
"I don't blame you for eavesdropping."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and replied nonchalantly: "The matter in Jizhou is not a secret. There is nothing to hide."
Li Wutong was stunned when he heard this, then bit his lip and asked: "Then why are you still staring at me?!"
"Princess, you are being a little unreasonable."
Wei Changtian said sternly: "The eyes are on my face. I can look wherever I want. Do you even have to take care of this?"
"I!"
Li Wutong was speechless because of the rebuke. She couldn't force Wei Changtian not to look at her, so in the end she had no choice but to act like an ostrich and turned her head away from looking at Wei Changtian.
"..."
There was a roar of waves outside the car, but a strange yet awkward silence fell into the sedan.
Chu Xianping was silently sending a telegram to the Freemasons to convey Wei Changtian's latest instructions.
Li Wutong was staring at the Mang River getting farther and farther outside the car curtain, secretly cursing Wei Changtian for being a scumbag.
Wei Changtian himself was calculating Li Wutong's hip circumference.
Next to you, You Jia quietly looked at Wei Changtian, then at Li Wutong, and finally sighed softly, feeling helpless and depressed.
