We walked on and on, the mountain roads were so long, we couldn’t see the green mountains and green waters, and we couldn’t taste the suffering of the world. There might really be gods flying with swords in the vast Shu Mountains, but Yunzheng and the others didn’t see any of them, they only heard
The shrill roar of tigers, the cry of apes, and the chirping of birds.
Sitting in the car too much will make people feel exhausted, so after sitting in the car for an hour, Yun Zheng asked everyone to come down and walk for a while. The ruts on the Shu road were clearly visible, and the hoof prints of cows and horses could be seen everywhere. Walking on the road covered by the winter rain
On the spotless stone road, Yun Zheng always wanted to write a poem. Unfortunately, the surging emotions were surging in his chest but could not be transformed into beautiful words.
In the final analysis, I still have insufficient cultivation of ancient literature, insufficient knowledge, and my demeanor has not changed from a modern person to an ancient one, so I can only admire the beautiful scenery in vain.
"In Chaoci Baidi's colorful clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and tombs return in one day, and the river flows down three thousand miles, and it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky." Yun Zheng looked at the surging torrents at his feet, and finally read out a poem that combined Li Bai's
After the two poems were eaten alive, they became like this, but they still attracted loud cheers from Xanggu and the others, as well as the adoring eyes of Bacon.
Ignoring Yun Er's resentful eyes, he strode forward. The New Year was approaching, so he should stay in Longmen Town tonight.
Where mountains and rivers end, colorful clouds grow. This is the most appropriate word to describe Longmen Town. This is a place where mountains and rivers end, and it is also an important road to Mianzhou. It is said that carps once crossed the ridge here and finally transformed into dragons and ascended to heaven, so
It's called Longmen Town.
When the convoy drove into Longmen Town, Yun Zheng realized that the place seemed to be overcrowded. The small town was full of bodyguards and caravans, and everyone looked at them with unkind eyes. When Yun Zheng got off the mule cart, those people
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
Just taking a glance at the men holding knives and sticks under the eaves, Yun Zheng felt that the atmosphere here was extremely tense. As soon as he approached an inn called Fu'anju, the strong man guarding the door said intentionally or unintentionally: "Study"
My husband, you’d better leave, it’s not worth leaving your life here.”
The accent sounds like he's from Guanzhong, where the swordsmen are famous all over the world. I didn't expect to meet one here. So I changed my accent to Guanzhong and said: "Under this bright world, is there still lawlessness? Lenwa, you are blocking my way.
The way to go."
The man from Guanzhong raised his head with a smile but not a smile and said: "You are still a kid from Guanzhong. Since you are a township party, I will give you a word. It is better to walk far away at night than to live in Longmen Town."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Thank you, this is the truth, but we are already exhausted. The sky is huge and the most sleeping people are the ones who are in the turbulence. Who cares about living one more day and one less day."
While the two were talking, a waiter ran out and said to Yun Zheng: "Sir, the store is full. If you want to stay in the hotel, you should go elsewhere.'
Yun Zheng turned around and looked at this short street. He didn't find a second inn. He patted the waiter on the shoulder and said, "Look for three houses for me. If I find them, I'll reward you with fifty coins."
As he spoke, he took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and put it in the clerk's hand.
"Sir, there are really no rooms. I'm not going to hide it from you. There are no guest rooms in the entire Longmen Town. Unless you are willing to spend a lot of money to stay at the inn, where the official lives."
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "So there is a post station, I told you earlier!" After saying that, he bowed his hands to the big man in Guanzhong who warned him just now, asked the workman clearly where the post station was, and asked Xanthium to drive the mule, cart and ox cart there.
Go ahead and wander the streets by yourself to look around.
Longmen Town is far more prosperous than Dousha Town, but the people appearing on the street now seem to be not good people. It seems that all the ghosts, ghosts and snake gods from all over the world have gathered here, and I don't know why.
After turning around a bamboo forest, I saw Longmen Inn. There were very few people here. There were only a few people squatting at the door, using a brazier to roast the dry food they carried. When they saw Yun Zheng approaching, they all got out of the way, except for a policeman in shabby clothes.
He quickly stood up and saluted Yun Zheng, because he saw an official belt tied around Yun Zheng's waist.
A postman stepped in and waited, waiting for Yunzheng to take out the postcard. He had this thing. When he left, County Magistrate Liu gave his to Yunzheng. Hanniu took a cowhide bag, and Yunzheng gave the postcard to the postman.
He said: "I want the best rooms, three. I will make up for the shortfall with money."
The originally lifeless Yi Cheng suddenly became happy. Such noble officials are the most popular in the Yi Station. Their main source of food is extra income. If they meet some poor and stingy officials, they will naturally not be welcomed. Here is
County Magistrate Liu had made the trick very clear to Yun Zheng a long time ago.
Bacon carried the already sleepy Yun Er into the room. Xanthium and the others were busy unloading the animals from the carriage. The guys at the post station diligently delivered the best feed. Xanthium took a look and saw that there was live bean feed inside.
Only then did I feel satisfied.
"We don't need your food, we can cook it ourselves. We just need to use your kitchen." Yun Zheng placed one ingot and two taels of official silver in Yi Cheng's hand, and Yi Cheng immediately frowned.
Together, today I met a wealthy family.
"I would like to ask why there are so many idle people in Longmen Town?"
"What the officials don't know is that since Dousha County cleared Yuanshan, bandits have never dared to enter Doucha County. A few days ago, officials from Chengdu Prefecture escorted the heads of ruthless bandits such as Hua Mafeng and Peng Liuzi from Longmen Town.
After that, they deliberately hung their heads in the town for three days. Someone secretly paid 500 yuan and demanded the heads of the two thieves. Then the place was surrounded by idle people who came to seize the opportunity to take away the heads. As a result, they arrived late.
, the officials had left three days after hanging their heads, and these idle men who had been delayed in getting the news were trapped in Longmen Town, unable to go there. These days, Longmen Town has been disturbed like crazy, and there is no peace. "
Yun Zheng nodded to show that he understood, and asked Han Niu to help the bacon make dinner. He told him not to use the food and water in the inn, and to use all the seasonings from his own house.
The upper room in the inn was very nice. Although it was not luxurious, it was very clean. In fact, Yun Zheng wanted to be clean. After sitting down, he began to think about these people in Longmen Town. In ancient times, uprisings sometimes happened very accidentally. The reason
There are all kinds of things, and sometimes even a bad verdict in a case will cause a civil commotion. In Yun Zheng's view, Longmen Town is already in danger. I don't know what the people in the town think. Maybe their thoughts are not the same as those in Dousha Pass.
People are the same.
He can't take care of it, and he doesn't want to take care of it. He has a large family, and they don't care about their own lives. Why should Yun Zheng, a passerby, take risks?
Thinking of this, I smiled bitterly and shook my head. It was true that I would leave at dawn tomorrow and rush to the pier to take the boat.
Through the window, I saw that Bacon gave the anxious feet something to eat, a bowl of white rice, and a spoonful of broth. The anxious feet kept thanking them and wolfing down the bacon, which showed that the bacon was very satisfying.
The young catcher must have looked very hungry, but he behaved very well. He stepped in and thanked the bacon, hung his broken knife on his waist, broke off two bamboo branches to use as chopsticks, and then picked up the bowl of rice.
Eating the rice in his bowl bit by bit.
It took him a long time to eat a bowl of rice. He couldn't bear to see the bacon, so he was given another spoonful of broth. He quickly stood up to thank him, his face flushed with embarrassment.
Han Niu was holding his own big bowl, squatting on the threshold, taking a bite of rice and looking at the envious eyes of the eager people. He deliberately held his rice bowl high to show that he had a superior appetite.
Xanthium came over and slapped Han Niu on the back of the head. Such a show off would not worry the thieves.
Seeing this scene, Yun Zheng planned to leave at five o'clock in the morning, because there were two people who were eagerly looking at the bacon. If they didn't add an extra spoonful of broth to the detective just now, they might not be dissatisfied. Now
Since there is obvious unfairness, it is natural to feel unjust, and this is how ill will arises.
After calling Xanthium over and whispering a few words, Xanthus went out with the two hunters with a gloomy face.
Yun Er was very tired and dozed off even while eating. Although he always slept on the mule cart, he still felt very sleepy at this time. Bancou helped Yun Er clean up and lay down with him on the opposite side.
Sleeping in bed, Yun Zheng was the only one in the room tinkering with the sleeve arrows and flower-backed crossbow left by the Chinese Wasp.
He made some small improvements to these primitive weapons, such as changing the spring of the Xiu Arrow from ejection-type beef tendon to a spring. The Xiu Arrow can only fire one arrow at a time. The arrow is 8 inches long and has a circumference of 8 minutes.
There is a cover on the top of the barrel, which is connected to the barrel body. There is a hole in the center of the cover for loading arrows. There is a movable butterfly piece one inch next to the barrel cover, which is responsible for opening and closing. A spring is installed on the bottom of the plate.
There is a round iron plate. After loading the arrow, lower the spring, and use the butterfly plate to close the arrow in the tube. When launching, push aside the butterfly plate, the spring will bounce up, and the arrow in the tube will fly out. Yun Zheng has tested it, and ten times
The lethality of this thing within one step is considerable.
As for the firing of the flower-backed crossbow, which requires very high skills, Yun Zheng couldn't learn it, so he transformed this small crossbow into the Yan-wing crossbow of the Tang Dynasty, and the crossbow arm pressed with bamboo pieces was replaced with a soft
Made of steel, within thirty steps, a crossbow arrow can penetrate half an inch of wood.
Bacon was very afraid to see the eldest young master's eyes. They were green in the dim room, just like the eyes of a leopard he had seen when he was a child. The last time he saw the eldest young master's eyes turn green, the prisoner was tortured to death by him.
, I didn’t expect to see it again today, and I don’t know who died this time.
After a while, someone knocked lightly on the door. Yun Zheng opened the door. Xanthium sibiricum walked in and whispered: "Get rid of it. I heard with my own ears that they wanted to find someone to join forces to rob our fat sheep."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "The thieves have noticed us, so we leave at the third watch. There will be big trouble here soon, so it is best to leave early."
Xanthium nods as he listens to the beeping bamboo whistle outside, and goes out to make preparations. (To be continued...)
