On the galloping road, a carriage rolled forward. Zhang Zhong was in charge of driving, and Zhang Xu was accompanying him on horseback.
Not long after, a small town with a wall no more than two feet high was already in sight.
Sensing the approach of the carriage, especially after seeing Zhang Xu in official uniform, the crowds on the road moved out of the way. Most of these people were not well-dressed and poorly dressed. Even today, when the cold wind was howling, many of them were half-clothed.
There are even some people who are just wrapped in straw mats.
Opening the curtains and looking at such a scene, Zhang Chunyi frowned slightly and waved to Zhang Xu.
Seeing Zhang Chunyi's greeting, Zhang Xu, who was paying attention to driving away the refugees to avoid disturbing the immortal master, quickly came over on horseback.
"What's going on?"
Pointing at the refugees, Zhang Chunyi spoke.
Hearing this, Zhang Xu sighed and gave the answer.
"Immortal Master, they are all poor people. The barbarians invaded, Shaoyang County was in chaos, and last year's winter was extremely long, which delayed the spring plowing. Many people had to flee."
While talking, Zhang Xu secretly glanced at Zhang Chunyi, and saw that his expression was as usual, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these refugees would make Master Zhang Chunyi unhappy.
Hearing this, Zhang Chunyi frowned even more.
"Shaoyang County is really in chaos? The county government didn't take action?"
Judging from the current situation, the real situation in Shaoyang County is far more troublesome than he expected.
Although the Dali Dynasty has been in existence for five hundred years, there are still many dangers in the wild today. Wild beasts, monsters, and poison barriers can kill people. Under normal circumstances, no one is willing to travel in the wild unless absolutely necessary, let alone
It is said that he has become a refugee.
Hearing this, Zhang Xu's expression froze and he didn't know what to say. He was just an ordinary policeman.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Chunyi waved his hand, lowered the car curtain, and withdrew his gaze.
Seeing that Zhang Chunyi stopped asking questions, Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued to lead the way.
We walked all the way, and soon we arrived at Changhe County.
Compared with those seen on the road, there are more refugees here. A large and simple camp has been formed in the vast area, which can accommodate thousands of people. The officers and soldiers have set up checkpoints at the city gate to prevent the refugees from entering.
Entering the city.
But at this time, refugees were surging like a wave at the city gate, blocking the road.
"Master Immortal, the eldest lady of the Bai family is giving porridge outside the city. I'm afraid we have to wait for a while before we can go in."
He tried his best to squeeze out of the crowd, holding on to his hat that was about to slip off, and came to the carriage. Zhang Xu said breathlessly.
Although he is wearing official clothes, it is of no use at this time. Those refugees are so hungry that they will not care whether you are an official official or not.
Hearing this, he glanced at the surging crowd in front of him, and Zhang Chunyi got off the carriage.
"No need, leave this to Zhang Zhong, let's go to the city first."
Hongyun's figure appeared beside Zhang Chunyi, and Zhang Chunyi spoke.
The next moment, clouds and mist emerged, and strong winds roared, taking Zhang Chunyi and Zhang Xu into the sky together.
Zhang Xu almost screamed out in fear, but after the shock, he gained some confidence in the demon-killing task taken by the immortal master Zhang Chunyi. Flying to the sky and escaping from the earth is a real immortal method.
"It's an immortal master."
Seeing the figure flying into the sky, some refugees exclaimed, and some even knelt on the ground and knelt down to worship. For a while, the surging crowd showed signs of stagnating.
Zhu Sheng took this opportunity and breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at the two blurry figures in the misty clouds. A trace of envy appeared on Bai Zhining's delicate face, but it quickly disappeared. Although it is enviable to be an immortal cultivator flying in the clouds, living an ordinary life as an ordinary person is not a blessing. She is very satisfied with her current life.
"Don't be crowded, there is everything."
Seeing the crowd moving again, Bai Zhining took a breath and got busy again, with a bright smile on her face, and she didn't feel hard at all.
In the city, in the Xianlai Inn and the independent courtyard, Zhang Chunyi settled here.
Perhaps because he did not expect that Zhang Chunyi would take over the order to eliminate demons, the county government did not arrange accommodation in advance, and Changqing Temple did not have a direct property in the county.
On the contrary, Zhang Chunyi's nominal senior brother Nie Changliang has considerable power in the county. The Yaowang Gang he founded monopolizes 70% of the medicinal materials business in Changhe County, making him extremely rich.
Of course, a large part of the reason why Nie Changliang's Yaowang Gang has the current momentum is because Changqing Temple is its platform. In return, the Yaowang Gang will give a lot of offerings to Changqing Temple every year, including medicinal materials.
Most of them are, and it is precisely because of this that there is no shortage of common medicinal materials in Changqing Temple.
Knowing that the county government had not made any arrangements, Zhang Chunyi didn't care and directly asked for a small courtyard at the Xianlai Inn, the largest in the county.
Although Changhe County is not large, it is located on the bank of the Chuilong River. It has developed waterways and many merchants coming and going. The inns in the city are not inferior to the county town in terms of luxury.
In the backyard of the county government office, the county magistrate Jia Sidao was quite surprised to learn that Zhang Chunyi had received the order to eliminate demons and had entered the city.
"Sir, that Zhang family member showed his ability to ride on clouds and fly into the sky when he entered the city. He is obviously a cultivator of immortals. Perhaps it is because of this that he accepted the order to eliminate demons."
Looking at Jia Sidao's gloomy face, Sun Buzai said cautiously.
After hearing this, Jia Sidao pondered for a long time and sneered.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."
According to the previous intelligence, Jia Sidao knew that even if the Zhang family entered the immortal path, it would not be long. The reason for being able to fly into the sky is more likely because of the special nature of the refined monster. Immortal cultivators of this strength would really fight each other.
They may not even be the opponents of some powerful martial artists, let alone those who can deal with monsters.
"Don't he want a dossier? Have someone send it to him."
His face returned to calmness, and Jia Sidao made a decision.
Upon hearing this, Sun Buzheng's expression suddenly changed.
"Sir, the Zhang family is now an immortal cultivator, and his weight is very different. If he is really involved in this mission to eliminate demons, the Pingyang Zhang family may not give up easily."
The words were urgent, and Sun Buzheng quickly advised him.
Although the current Zhang Chunyi has inherited the foundation of Changqingguan and has been strictly separated from the Zhang family in Pingyang, how can the bloodlines between aristocratic families be cut off so easily? Not to mention the immortal cultivators of his own direct bloodline
All aristocratic families generally take it seriously.
After hearing this, Jia Sidao's expression did not change, his face was full of calmness.
"No, you're wrong. I just wanted the Zhang family to retreat when he saw the difficulties. This time, even the county government and Bai and You families would have trouble solving the evil, let alone a new cultivator of immortality like him.
."
"Of course, if he really can't see the situation clearly and insists on diving in, then you can't blame me."
"Although the Zhang family in Pingyang is feared, this is Dali's world after all."
At this moment, Jia Sidao seems to be a man who is not afraid of power.
Seeing Jia Sidao like this and understanding what Jia Sidao was thinking, Sun Buzheng bowed to the end.
"The students admire you for your righteousness."
Families all over the world have their decline and prosperity, and as far as Sun Buzheng knows, the Zhang family in Pingyang has lost its momentum over the years. Although it is still among the wealthy families, it no longer has the capital to run rampant.
