Before dawn the next day, Liang Xianchun received news that the gray-mantle carriage was driving away from Qingyang County in the south.
Liang Xianchun immediately gave the order and set off immediately.
It was really not easy for Xiaozhi County. He allocated more than 800 horses from the whole county and purchased them from surrounding counties in one night.
All the evil-suppressing soldiers had horses and set off immediately for Qingyang County.
When she was in the academy, Yuchilan learned how to ride, but unfortunately she was not good at it, and the horse she was riding was originally used for farm work. It wobbled and stopped along the way, causing Yuchilan to suffer a lot.
At noon, when they arrived at the county seat, the army rested for a while outside the city. Yuchilan dismounted his horse and found a stone to sit on, but he suddenly jumped up as if he had been burned by charcoal fire.
It hurts! It hurts!
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and asked with concern: "Sister, wherever it hurts, I'll rub it for you!"
Su Xiujuan laughed at the side and said: "Why don't you rub it? This is a blister. You need to pop the blisters. Zhiqiong, please help senior sister pop them!"
Yuchi Lan blushed and pushed Su Xiujuan away, wanting to find a softer place to sit for a while. Su Xiujuan had just found a straw mat when she heard military orders coming from the front and the army continued on their way.
Liang Xianchun received news that the Huiman carriage escaped again in Qiyao County in the south. This time it was not just one carriage, but more than a dozen carriages escaped together.
Where did these carriages come from?
All come from Wang’s Paper Horse Shop.
The weight of the paper carriage itself is not heavy. Except for the one that Chang Decai sat in, the rest are empty. With Yang Wu's current cultivation level, as long as he does not run too fast, he will have no problem driving more than a dozen paper carriages at the same time.
No.
Liang Xianchun felt that he was getting closer and closer to the Blood Evil Sect's lair, so he immediately ordered the entire army to set off for Qiyao County.
Looking at the silly farm horse, Yuchilan felt helpless. As soon as he got on the horse, the horse bumped a step. Under the impact of the saddle, severe pain surged from the fat peach to the top of his head, and Yuchilan almost screamed.
Xu Zhiqiong gave up his war horse to Yuchilan, climbed on the silly farm horse, and bumped along with the team.
The army did not rest that night and walked all night. At dawn the next day, they rested for half a day and continued on their way at noon.
In the next few days, I rested for two or three more hours a day and walked quickly all the way out of Yizhou and arrived at Raozhou.
The prefect Xiang Sishan personally came to the border of Raozhou to greet them. He wanted to accommodate everyone, but Liang Xianchun came up and directly asked about the whereabouts of the carriage.
Yesterday, Raozhou also saw a gray-curtained carriage. Seventeen carriages passed by on the official road. The official came forward to question them, but was beaten up by the driver. Since then, there has been no news.
Xiang Sishan said: "General, don't worry, I have sent people to search, and we will find traces of the bandits soon."
Liang Xianchun was unwilling to wait, so he directly ordered the army to search throughout Raozhou.
Liang Yuyao finally understood why Xu Zhiqiong looked down on her aunt. Her aunt's commanding ability was really worrying.
Search the entire territory of one state?
Was she planning to tire the sergeant to death?
How is this different from a headless fly?
Liang Yuyao asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Pi, why do I feel like we are being tricked? A group of people got a few carriages and led us around blindly!"
Xu Zhiqiong smiled without saying anything.
Liang Yuyao has lived in a deep palace for a long time, and her knowledge is definitely not as good as that of Liang Xianchun.
But Liang Yuyao is not stupid, and her IQ is above ordinary people, far better than her stubborn and conceited aunt.
Liang Yuyao has already seen the problem, and she is not the only one who sees the problem.
Lin Tianzheng and Zuo Chuxian both saw the problem and repeatedly reminded Liang Xianchun not to fall into the enemy's trap.
But Liang Xianchun couldn't listen. Her thinking was completely stuck in a straight line. If there was a clue, she would chase it to the end. She never thought of considering the enemy's thoughts from another angle.
Xu Zhiqiong took advantage of this and led her to Raozhou step by step.
Raozhou is crucial.
Liu Jiangpu once served in Raozhou, which proves that Taotie's body must have been to Raozhou.
Taibu also found out that there are blood evil cultivators in Raozhou.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to stay in Raozhou for a while, so he temporarily asked Chang Decai and Yang Wu to return to the Punishment Department.
Liang Xianchun insisted on searching the whole country, but the prefect Xiang Sishan did not dare to stop him, and had to help Liang Xianchun plan the route: "Going east is Yuancheng County, which is closest to here, so we should start the investigation from here."
Liang Xianchun was about to order troops to send troops to Yuancheng County, but Zuo Chuxian raised objections.
Zuo Chuxian went to Raozhou during his study tour when he was young and was very familiar with the layout of counties and counties in Raozhou.
"Since the thief went south, and the nearest place to the south is Yu'an County, why did he go east?"
This question hit the point. Xiang Sishan hesitated and couldn't answer it for a long time.
Liang Xianchun shouted: "If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Xiang Sishan whispered: "General, something happened in Yu'an County. A group of mobs caused trouble in the county."
mob?
This is the word Xu Zhiqiong hates the most.
Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said: "What is a mob? How to cause trouble? Please explain clearly!"
Xiang Sishan pondered for a while and said: "The county magistrate Gao Renxiao is searching for bloody criminals in the county. Some villagers are very resistant, but they resist the officials..."
Taibu's news was very accurate. Sure enough, there were blood evil cultivators appearing. Xu Zhiqiong was secretly happy. He would definitely gain a lot in Raozhou this time!
Liang Xianchun shouted: "If you fight against the official, you have found the thief's lair. These mobs are all the accomplices of the blood villain!"
This is arbitrary, but there is really nothing wrong with it.
The magistrate is searching for blood evil cultivators, why should ordinary people resist?
If it weren't for the blood villain's accomplices, I really wouldn't be able to figure out the reason.
But Xiang Sishan said with a bitter expression: "It may be that the county magistrate Gao Renxiao's methods were a little too drastic."
"How can we be soft-handed in punishing evil and eradicating evil!" Liang Xianchun immediately ordered the entire army to go to Yu'an County.
When we arrived in Yu'an County, an unprecedented scene occurred.
Wherever the army passed, magistrates and county officials from all over the country led the county officials to warmly welcome them.
But this time, no one came out to greet Liang Xianchun until he reached the gate of the county government office.
Liang Xianchun was a little dissatisfied, but since Kochi County was fully committed to arresting the bloody bandits, and for the sake of this achievement, Liang Xianchun no longer pursued etiquette.
After waiting for the yamen officer at the gate to pass the news, Kozhi County came to the gate of the county yamen and welcomed Liang Xianchun in.
There was no guard of ceremony and the etiquette was simple. Kozhi County did not even prepare a banquet for Liang Xianchun, but made a pot of tea for Liang Xianchun and various battalion officers.
Xu Zhiqiong opened his eyes of sin and took a look, and found that the sin karma on Gao Renxiao's head was less than half an inch.
It seems that this is a good official and an honest one.
None of the government officials behind him had more than two inches of karma on their heads. It seems that under the influence of Kochi County, these government officials are all upright and kind-hearted good people.
After drinking a cup of tea, Gao Ren said filially: "The Holy Lord has sent an army to suppress evil. It is our county's long-term drought and sweet rain. Gao has been arresting the bloody villains for days, but has been obstructed by the mob. I hope the general to suppress evil will help us."
The county will punish the bandits together!"
Liang Xianchun nodded and said: "I am here to kill the thieves. I will not tolerate the thieves and bandits who are in the same party. Today I will raise troops with Kochi County to catch all the thieves and bandits!"
Gao Renxiao nodded repeatedly and said: "That's very good. I will summon the government officials and kill the mob to show the power of our emperor!"
One mouthful for a mob.
When he talks about the mob, it's like he's talking about the hatred of killing his father and taking away his wife.
Liang Xianchun was about to order the dispatch of troops when Xu Zhiqiong suddenly spoke:
"Wait a minute! This is not a good time to send troops."
Liang Xianchun glared at him, as if Xu Zhiqiong had no place to speak here.
Whether you want it or not, I have to speak.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "The army has been marching for days and is exhausted. This time we send troops to fight. We have no morale and no fighting ability. We are definitely not the best choice!"
Lin Tianzheng nodded when he heard this and said: "What Lieutenant Xu said is absolutely true. Let the army rest for a day and it will not be too late to send out troops again."
Liang Xianchun frowned and said: "How can it be too late? Soldiers are valuable and quick, but late will cause changes!"
Zuo Chuxian said: "I agree with Captain Xu. The march these days has been too difficult and the army really needs to rest."
Several battalion officers were resolute, and Liang Yuyao also made a rare statement.
Naturally, she sided with Xu Zhiqiong: "My red-clad envoys can't even sit on the saddle. If we rest for a day and fight again, the sergeants will have some strength!"
All the battalion officers were unanimous in their opinions, and Liang Xianchun had no choice but to agree: "The army will rest for the night and send troops tomorrow morning to wipe out the bandits!"
Xu Zhiqiong asked Gao Renxiao: "In which township did the villagers fight against the official officials?"
Kochi County Road: "The mob is present in all villages and is currently gathering in Heshun Village."
Are they available in every township?
A county full of mobs?
It doesn't make sense.
The Bloody Evil Sect is a human being who is hated to the core.
One village or one village may have some interactions with the Bloody Sect due to unhealthy folk customs. How can the people in each county and township all associate with Ren Yazi?
Fortunately, Liang Xianchun let me rest for one night.
This night is very important. Xu Zhiqiong must find out the true purpose of these villagers.
He wore coarse clothes, led the silly farm horse, carried two sacks on the horse's back, and was about to leave the camp when he was stopped by Liang Yuyao.
"Pi, where are you going?"
"Go out and do something serious!"
Liang Yuyao grabbed Xu Zhiqiong and said, "No matter what you do today, you have to take me with you, otherwise you won't even think of leaving the camp."
Xu Zhiqiong pointed to a piece of clothing and said, "Do you see my clothes? Are you willing to wear them?"
Liang Yuyao didn't take it seriously: "Just wear it, what's the big deal!"
Xu Zhiqiong brought a bowl of pot ashes and said, "You are too fair, so you have to paint your face black."
"Just paint it black, I'm not afraid!" Liang Yuyao gritted her teeth and her face turned black. Xu Zhiqiong got her a pair of old peasant clothes, put them on, and the two of them went to Heshun Village.
Outside Heshun Village, a group of government officials blocked the road. In the middle of the road, a group of people in ragged clothes were kneeling.
There were men and women, old and young, shivering in their thin clothes in the cold winter.
Liang Yuyao asked in a low voice: "Is this the mob?"
Xu Zhiqiong patted Feitao: "Don't talk nonsense for a while."
Xu Zhiqiong led the farm horse over. An official came forward and pushed Xu Zhiqiong to stagger: "Are you blind? Didn't you see the catch?"
Xu Zhiqiong said with a naive smile: "I'm from a foreign country. Isn't this the official way? I've been here all the way."
The official shouted: "The road is closed, please take a detour and get out of here!"
Xu Zhiqiong scratched his scalp and said, "How come this official system is closed just as soon as it is said to be closed?"
The officer grabbed Xu Zhiqiong and said, "Why are you talking so much? Do you have any dealings with the mob in this village? Are you related to them or something?"
"No relationship, no relationship, I'm just a passerby."
"I told you to get out of here, don't you understand?" Yachai kicked Xu Zhiqiong down, and Xu Zhiqiong got up, led the farm horse and hurried away.
Liang Yuyao wanted to step forward and teach the official a lesson, but unexpectedly the official came over on his own: "Don't tell me, this woman sounds pretty!"
Xu Zhiqiong shouted: "If you are not handsome, if you are not handsome, you are just a woman from the mountains."
Xu Zhiqiong urged Liang Yuyao to leave quickly.
Liang Yuyao looked back at the official, then at the civilians kneeling on the ground.
In the cold wind, a woman kneeling on the ground fainted.
Her young son stepped forward and cried, but was kicked to the ground by the Yamen.
The mother and son lay shivering in the cold wind, wondering if they could survive the night.
mob?
Are they really a mob?
…
When they arrived at the hiding place, Xu Zhiqiong set up a yin and yang array.
Xu Zhiqiong is very good at using other people's teleportation arrays, but his own teleportation array is very poor. When used to the limit, he can only teleport a little over a mile at a time.
One mile was enough for him to bypass Luka.
Carrying Liang Yuyao and leading the Hanhan horse, Xu Zhiqiong arrived at the entrance of the village. Two villagers held hoes and stepped forward to block the way.
"What are you doing!" shouted the villagers.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Am I just passing through? There are roadblocks everywhere. I don't know how to get there. Did I go around the mountain?"
A middle-aged man looked Xu Zhiqiong over and shouted: "Hurry up, leave quickly, we won't be able to leave until the official comes!"
Xu Zhiqiong smacked his lips and said, "Can I give you some water? The two of us have been wandering around in the mountains all day and haven't even drank a sip of water."
The middle-aged man turned around and said to a young farmer: "Go get him a bowl of hot soup!"
The so-called soup is actually a bowl of hot water.
But in this weather, this bowl of hot water is quite precious.
Xu Zhiqiong drank half of the bowl of water and gave the remaining half to Liang Yuyao.
Liang Yuyao didn't want to drink it at first, but Xu Zhiqiong pinched her fat peach, so she had no choice but to drink the water.
The water is a bit bitter, but it feels really warm after drinking it.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his stomach and said, "We haven't eaten much this day. We look at the snow covered with gold sand. Can we give us something to eat?"
The middle-aged man turned around and said, "Give him a pancake."
The young farmer made a piece of cake and gave it to Xu Zhiqiong.
mob?
Are they really a mob?
Xu Zhiqiong took the cake, ate half of it, and gave the remaining half to Liang Yuyao. He thanked her and led the horse away.
Before he had taken two steps, he suddenly heard a middle-aged man shouting: "Wait a moment, your horse's hoof will grow out, and it will be worn out. When the hoof is cracked, the horse will be useless."
Xu Zhiqiong held the horse and waited at the spot. The middle-aged man shouted: "Old Wutou, have you brought it with you? Are you going to repair two swords for this foreigner?"
An old man came over, put Hanhan's horse's back kick on the stone, took out a knife, and helped it cut off the overgrown hoof, and trimmed it very smoothly along the shoe.
Xu Zhiqiong rubbed his hands and said, "I don't have any money."
The old man snorted and said: "Who wants your money? Let's go!"
Xu Zhiqiong led the horse for two laps and repaired its hoofs. The Hanhan horse was no longer so bumpy.
Liang Yuyao stood there blankly and asked in a low voice: "Are they a mob?"
Xu Zhiqiong looked back at the villagers at the entrance of the village, patted the silly horse and said: "This is a mob? Do you believe it? Don't say you don't believe it, even your donkey brothers don't believe it!"
The villagers looked at Xu Zhiqiong in surprise, and Old Wu asked: "Are you talking to your wife or the animals? Do you always talk to the animals?"
Why do you need to use the word "ye"?
Xu Zhiqiong patted the silly horse, looked at Liang Yuyao and said: "Donkey doesn't believe they are a mob, why does Kochi County believe it?"
